MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC. 
2011 SENIOR OFFICER CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN 
(AS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JANUARY 17, 2013)
INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of Motorola Solutions, Inc. considers the maintenance of a sound management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company (as hereinafter defined) and its stockholders.  In this connection, the Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) may exist from time to time, and that this possibility, and the uncertainty and questions it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders.  Accordingly, the Board (as hereinafter defined) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management to their assigned duties without the distraction which may arise from the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company.  The Company has further determined that this Plan (as hereinafter defined) will be effective as of February 1, 2011 for officers of the Company at or above the level of Senior Vice President (“Senior Officers”) who are first elected or promoted to such positions on or after February 1, 2011, and will be effective as of February 1, 2014 for then Senior Officers who, on or before January 31, 2014, were otherwise eligible to participate in the Motorola Solutions, Inc. Legacy Senior Officer Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended, the Motorola Solutions, Inc. Legacy Corporate Officer Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended, the Motorola Solutions, Inc. Legacy Corporate Officer Transition Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended (the “CVP Transition Plan”) or who otherwise was a Corporate Vice President before May 9, 2001 and has a change in control agreement of the type referred to in the CVP Transition Plan (except for those whose Date of Termination is on or before January 31, 2014).  February 1, 2011 or February 1, 2014, as described in the above sentence, is the "Effective Date".
This Plan does not alter the status of Participants (as hereinafter defined) as at-will employees of the Company.  Just as Participants remain free to leave the employ of the Company at any time, so too does the Company retain its right to terminate the employment of Participants without notice, at any time, for any reason.  However, the Company believes that, both prior to and at the time a Change in Control is anticipated or occurring, it is necessary to have the continued attention and dedication of Participants to their assigned duties without distraction, and this Plan is intended as an inducement for Participants’ willingness to continue to serve as employees of the Company (subject, however, to either party’s right to terminate such employment at any time).  Therefore, should a Participant still be an employee of the Company at such time, the Company agrees that such Participant shall receive the severance benefits hereinafter set forth in the event the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates subsequent to a Change in Control under the circumstances described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 4.2(d), however, in the event that the Participant is terminated by the Company as provided in Section 4.1(a) or resigns for Good Reason, in each case during the twelve-month period prior to a Change in Control, but subsequent to such time as negotiations or discussions with a third party that ultimately lead to a Change in Control have commenced, then such termination (such a termination of employment, an “Anticipatory Termination”) shall be deemed to be a termination that entitles such Participant to the severance benefits hereinafter set forth. 
ARTICLE I 
ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN
As of February 1, 2011, the Company hereby establishes this Motorola Solutions, Inc. 2011 Senior Officer Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended or restated from time to time, (the "Plan").

The Company and the Participant shall take all steps necessary (including with regard to any post-termination services by the Participant) to ensure that any termination described in this Plan constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the “Date of Termination.”
(h)    Disability.  A condition such that the Participant by reason of physical or mental disability becomes unable to perform his normal duties for more than one-hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate (excluding infrequent or temporary absence due to ordinary transitory illness) during any twelve-month period.

In order to invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Participant shall provide a Notice of Termination pursuant to Section 7.5 to the Company’s General Counsel of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (v) within 90 days following the Participant’s initial knowledge of the existence of such condition or conditions, specifying in reasonable detail the conditions constituting Good Reason (hereinafter, “Notice of Termination for Good Reason”), and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition.  In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) must occur, if at all, within two years following the initial existence of the condition or conditions constituting Good Reason (or, if earlier, prior to the two year anniversary of the Change in Control) in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason.  The Participant’s mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (i) through (v) shall not affect the Participant’s ability to terminate employment for Good Reason and the Participant’s death following delivery of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason shall not affect the Participant’s estate’s entitlement to Separation Benefits provided hereunder.

ELIGIBILITY 
3.1    Participation.  Subject to the Effective Date as defined herein, participants in the Plan are elected officers of the Company who are Senior Officers; provided, that such Participants will not be entitled to Separation Benefits under this Plan if they are not Senior Officers at the time of the Change in Control; provided, further, that any reduction of a Participant’s position subsequent to such time as negotiations or discussions with a third party that ultimately lead to a Change in Control have commenced shall be of no effect for purposes of this Section 3.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive Separation Benefits (or any other benefits under the Plan), if the Participant has entered into a change in control letter agreement with the Company which has not been waived by the Participant or terminated by the Company or if the Participant is entitled to receive Separation Benefits under one of the legacy plans described in the first paragraph of Article I.
3.2    Duration of Participation.  A Participant shall only cease to be a Participant in the Plan as a result of an amendment or termination of the Plan complying with Article VI of the Plan, or when he ceases to be an Employee or no longer qualifies as a Participant under Section 3.1, unless, at the time he ceases to be an Employee or no longer qualifies as a Participant under Section 3.1, such Participant is entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit as provided in the Plan or there has been an event or occurrence constituting Good Reason that would enable the Participant to terminate his employment and receive a Separation Benefit.  A Participant entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit or any other amounts under the Plan shall remain a Participant in the Plan until the full amount of the Separation Benefit and any other amounts payable under the Plan have been paid to the Participant. 
ARTICLE IV     
SEPARATION BENEFITS 
4.1    Terminations of Employment That Give Rise to Separation Benefits Under This Plan.  A Participant shall be entitled to Separation Benefits as set forth in Section 4.2 below if (a) at any time following a Change in Control and prior to the second anniversary of the Change in Control, the Participant’s employment is terminated (i) involuntarily for any reason other than Cause, death, Disability or retirement under a mandatory retirement policy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect prior to such time as negotiations or discussions with a third party which ultimately lead to a Change in Control have commenced or (ii) by the Participant after the occurrence of an event giving rise to Good Reason or (b) the Participant experiences an Anticipatory Termination.  For purposes of this Plan, any purported termination by the Company or by the Participant shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof.
4.2    Separation Benefits. 
(a)    If a Participant’s employment is terminated under circumstances that entitle the Participant to Separation Benefits under this Section 4.2 (a “Qualifying Termination”), then the Company shall (except as provided below with respect to an Anticipatory Termination) pay to the Participant, in a lump sum in cash within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination, the aggregate of the following amounts, which benefits, except as provided in this Section 4.2 and in Section 7.4 below, shall be in addition to any other benefits to which the Participant is entitled other than by reason of this Plan:  (i) unpaid salary with respect to any paid time off accrued but not taken as of the Date of Termination; (ii) accrued but unpaid salary through the Date of Termination; (iii) any earned but unpaid annual incentive or sales incentive bonuses from the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs (unless (x) such annual incentive or sales incentive bonus is “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, in which case such bonus shall be paid at the time that bonuses with respect to such fiscal year are or otherwise would be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or (y) the Participant has made an irrevocable election under any deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A to defer any portion of such annual incentive or sales incentive bonuses, in which case any such deferred bonuses shall be paid in accordance with such election); (iv) an amount equal to two (2) times the Participant’s annual base salary in effect on the Date of Termination; and (v) an amount equal to two (2) times the Participant's target annual bonus or sales incentive bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs (the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) through (v), the “Cash Severance Payment”); provided, however:  (x) the Cash Severance Payment shall be paid to the Participant in the form of such a lump sum only (1) to the extent that it exceeds the “Severance Allowance” (“2011 ESP Severance Allowance) as defined in the Motorola Solutions, Inc. 2011 Executive Severance Plan, as amended or restated from time to time (the “2011 ESP”), (2) if the Change in Control constitutes a permissible payment event for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5), or (3) if not permitted to be paid in a lump sum pursuant to clause (1) or (2), to the extent that it is no greater than the portion of the 2011 ESP Severance Allowance that does not provide for the deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (such portion of the 2011 ESP Severance Allowance, “Exempt Deferred Compensation”); and (y) in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, the Company shall pay such portion of the Cash Severance Payment that would have been paid under clause (x) above if there were no Anticipatory Termination (reduced by any amount the Participant has already received as the 2011 ESP Severance Allowance) to the Participant on the date of the Change in Control to which such Anticipatory Termination relates. 
Any portion of the Cash Severance Payment that cannot be paid as a lump sum will be paid at the same time that the portion of the 2011 ESP Severance Allowance that does not provide for Exempt Deferred Compensation under the 2011 ESP would be paid.
(b)    In addition, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Participant shall be entitled to a pro-rated bonus determined as follows:
(i)    if the Participant participates in the Motorola Solutions Annual Incentive Plan or the Motorola Solutions Executive Officer Short Term Incentive Plan, each as amended or restated from time to time, or any successor plan or plans thereto (“AIP Plan”) during the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, the Company shall, on the first payroll date following July 1 of the year following the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs (unless the Participant has made an irrevocable election under any deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A to defer any portion of the Participant’s annual incentive bonus in respect of the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, in which case such deferred bonus shall be paid in accordance with such election) (the “AIP Pro-Rata Bonus Payment Date”), pay the participant in a lump sum an amount equal to the product of (A) the Participant’s annual bonus at target for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs (which for purposes of this Section 4.2 in no event shall be less than the Participant’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs or, in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, the year in which the Date of Termination occurs) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the then current fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365 (the “AIP Pro-Rata Bonus”); provided, however, that in the event that the Participant experiences an Anticipatory Termination and the Company has already paid the Participant the Alternate AIP Award (as defined in the 2011 ESP), the Participant shall not be entitled to a AIP Pro-Rata Bonus hereunder;
(ii)    if the Participant participates in a sales incentive plan pursuant to which he or she is eligible for an incentive award with respect to monthly or quarterly performance periods during the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, the Company shall pay the Participant, at the time set forth in the applicable sales incentive plan, an amount equal to the product of (A) the Participant’s monthly or quarterly incentive at target for the monthly or quarterly period in which the Date of Termination occurs (which for purposes of this Section 4.2 in no event shall be less than the Participant’s target bonus for the performance period in which the Change in Control occurs or, in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, the performance period in which the Date of Termination occurs) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed in the then current monthly or quarterly performance period through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is the full number of days in the then current monthly or quarterly performance period (the “SIP Quarterly or Monthly Pro-Rata Bonus”); provided, however, that in the event that the Participant experiences an Anticipatory Termination and the Company has already paid the Participant the Alternate Quarterly or Monthly SIP Award (as defined in the 2011 ESP), the Participant shall not be entitled to SIP Quarterly or Monthly Pro-Rata Bonus hereunder; and
(iii)    if the Participant participates in a sales incentive plan pursuant to which he or she is eligible for an incentive award (or a portion of an incentive award) with respect to an annual performance period during the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, the Company shall pay the Participant, on the MIP Pro-Rata Bonus Payment Date, for such award (or portion of award) an amount equal to the product of (A) the Participant’s annual bonus at target for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs (which for purposes of this Section 4.2 in no event shall be less than the Participant’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs or, in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, the year in which the Date of Termination occurs) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the then current fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365 (the “SIP Annual Pro-Rata Bonus”); provided, however, that in the event that the Participant experiences an Anticipatory Termination and the Company has already paid the Participant the Alternate Annual SIP Award (as defined in the 2011 ESP), the Participant shall not be entitled to an SIP Annual Pro-Rata Bonus hereunder.
(c)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated under circumstances which entitle the Participant to Separation Benefits under this Section 4.2, for two (2) years after the Date of Termination (the “Benefit Continuation Period”), or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue medical and dental benefits and life insurance benefits to the Participant and/or the Participant’s family at least equal to those that would have been provided in accordance with the medical and dental benefits and life insurance plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control if the Participant’s employment had not been terminated on the same terms and conditions (including any applicable required employee contributions), except that in the event of an Anticipatory Termination and to avoid duplication of benefits, such continued medical benefits to be provided hereunder shall commence on the date of the Change in Control and the Benefit Continuation Period shall be reduced by the number of months, if any, during which the Participant receives such medical benefits under the 2011 ESP; provided, however, that, the medical and dental benefits and life insurance provided during the Benefit Continuation Period shall be provided in such a manner that such benefits (and the costs and premiums thereof) are excluded from the Participant’s income for federal income tax purposes and, if the Company reasonably determines that providing continued coverage under one or more of its medical or dental plans or life insurance plans contemplated herein could be taxable to the Participant, the Company shall provide such benefits at the level required hereby through the purchase of individual insurance coverage; provided, further, that, if the Participant becomes reemployed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive medical or dental or life insurance benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and dental benefits and/or life insurance benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility.  For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Participant for retiree medical benefits pursuant to plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company, the Participant shall be considered to have remained employed until two (2) years after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period (and to have attained two (2) additional years of age), and such benefits (and the terms and conditions of such benefits) shall be no less favorable than as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.  Following the end of the period during which medical and dental benefits are provided to the Participant under this Section 4.2(c), the Participant shall be eligible for continued medical and dental coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code or other applicable law, as if the Participant’s employment with the Company had terminated as of the end of such period.
(d)    Except as provided in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) (with respect to Anticipatory Terminations) and Section 4.2(c), the Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4.2 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 4.2 be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as the result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits paid by the Company after the Date of Termination, or otherwise, or by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, or other claim, right or action the Company may have against the Participant or others. 
(e)    Without affecting a Participant’s eligibility to receive benefits under Section 4.2(a), (b), or (c) in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, the provisions of this Article IV shall be applicable after a Change in Control has occurred, but not prior thereto. 
4.3    Adjustment of Payments by the Company.  Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or benefit to be paid or provided hereunder or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement  would be an "Excess Parachute Payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided hereunder shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes).  The effect of the preceding sentence is that a Participant shall be entitled to receive the greater of (a) the after-tax benefit if the aggregate payments and benefits are received without reduction and the Participant pays all taxes, including any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (b) the after-tax benefit if the aggregate payments and benefits are reduced so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment.  All determinations required to be made under this Section 4.3 shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the applicable Participant within fifteen (15) business days of the Date of Termination or such earlier time as is requested by the Company and, if requested by the applicable Participant, an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any excise tax on his Federal income tax return with respect to the Excess Parachute Payments.  Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the applicable Participant.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company; provided, however, (i) the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm not later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related work is performed or the expenses are incurred by the Accounting Firm, (ii) the amount of the Accounting Fees that the Company is obligated to pay in any given calendar year shall not affect the Accounting Fees that the Company is obligated to pay in any other calendar year, and (iii) the Participant’s right to have the Company pay such fees and expenses may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.  The fact that a Participant’s right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 4.3 shall not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of the Participant under this Plan.  In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided hereunder is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 4.3, then the reduction shall occur in the following order: (iv) Section 4.2(a)(v), (v) Section 4.2(a)(iv), (vi) Section 4.2(b)(i), (vii) Section 4.2(b)(ii), (viii) Section 4.2(b)(iii), and (ix) Section 4.2(c).
Each Participant shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on the Participant on account of payments and benefits received under this Plan, including without limitation any excise taxes imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.
ARTICLE V     
SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY 
This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.  In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  The term “Company,” as used in this Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan.
ARTICLE VI     
DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
6.1    Duration.  If a Change in Control has not occurred, this Plan shall expire on February 1, 2015 unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6.2.  Notwithstanding the above, if a Change in Control occurs while this Plan is in effect, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect for at least two (2) years following such Change in Control, and shall not terminate or expire until after all Participants who become entitled to any payments or benefits hereunder shall have received such payments and benefits in full.
6.2    Amendment or Termination.  The Board may amend or terminate this Plan at any time, including amending the eligibility to participate in the Plan of Employees who are not existing Participants; provided, that, except as provided in Section 7.10 below, this Plan may not be amended or terminated in a manner adverse to Participants as of the date of the amendment or termination without one (1) years’ advance written notice of such amendment or termination (including modifying the eligibility of Employees who are already Participants to participate in the Plan). 
6.3    Procedure for Extension, Amendment or Termination.  Any extension, amendment or termination of this Plan by the Board in accordance with this Article VI shall be made by action of the Board in accordance with the Company’s charter and by-laws and applicable law. 
ARTICLE VII     
MISCELLANEOUS 
7.1    Default in Payment.  Any payment not made within ten (10) days after it is due in accordance with this Plan shall thereafter bear interest, compounded annually, at the prime rate from time to time in effect at JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any successor thereto. 
7.2    No Assignment.  No interest of any Participant or spouse of any Participant or any other beneficiary under this Plan, or any right to receive payment hereunder, shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind, nor may such interest or right to receive a payment or distribution be taken, voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the obligations or debts of, or other claims against, a Participant or spouse of a Participant or other beneficiary, including for alimony. 
7.3    Disputes.  The Company shall upon request pay from time to time a Participant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Participant or on the Participant’s behalf (within 10 days following the Company’s receipt of an invoice from the Participant), at any time from the occurrence of a Change in Control through the Participant’s remaining lifetime (or, if longer, through the 20th anniversary of the occurrence of such Change in Control) in connection with any action taken by the Participant or on the Participant’s behalf (including any judicial proceeding) to enforce this Plan or to construe, or to determine or defend the validity of, this Plan or otherwise in connection herewith; provided, however, that, in the case of any judicial proceeding in which a Participant and the Company are adverse parties or any dispute under Section 4.3 hereof, the Company shall not be required to pay such expenses (and shall have the right to recover such expenses from the Participant if previously advanced) with respect to any position or claim on which the Company ultimately prevails against the Participant in all material respects.  In order to comply with Section 409A, in no event shall the payments by the Company under this Section 7.3 be made later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses were incurred, provided, that the Participant shall have submitted an invoice for such fees and expenses at least ten (10) days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses were incurred.  The amount of such legal fees and expenses that the Company is obligated to pay in any given calendar year shall not affect the legal fees and expenses that the Company is obligated to pay in any other calendar year, and the Participant’s right to have the Company pay such legal fees and expenses may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.  In any judicial or other proceeding in which the Participant’s rights to, or the amount of, benefits hereunder is disputed, the ultimate burden of proof shall be on the Company. 
7.4    Effect on Other Plans, Agreements and Benefits.  Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, any benefit or compensation to which a Participant is entitled under any agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or under any plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Participant participates or participated shall not be modified or lessened in any way, but shall be payable according to the terms of the applicable plan or agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits received by a Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be in lieu of any severance benefits to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under any general severance policy or other severance plan maintained by the Company for its management personnel and, upon consummation of a Change in Control, Participants in this Plan shall in no event be entitled to participate in any such severance policy or other severance plan maintained by the Company for its management personnel, except in the case of Anticipatory Terminations, in which event the Anticipatory Termination provisions under Sections 4.2(a), 4.2(b) and 4.2(c) shall apply.  In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment entitling the Participant to Separation Benefits under Section 4.2, any non-competition or non-solicitation provisions applicable to the Participant with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates shall cease to apply as of the Participant’s Date of Termination.
7.5    Notice.  For the purpose of this Plan, notices and all other communications provided for in this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when actually delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s corporate headquarters address, and to the Participant (at the last address of the Participant on the Company’s books and records); provided, that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the Secretary. 
7.6    Employment Status.  This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Participant or the Company any obligation for the Participant to remain an Employee or change the status of the Participant’s employment or the policies of the Company and its Affiliates regarding termination of employment. 
7.7    Named Fiduciary; Administration.  The Company is the named fiduciary of the Plan, and shall administer the Plan, acting through the Compensation Committee of the Board, or its delegatee. 
7.8    Unfunded Plan Status.  This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 401 of ERISA.  All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment.  No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one (1) or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan. 
7.9    Validity and Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
7.10    Section 409A.  This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or an exemption and shall in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A.  Each payment under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.  In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Plan.  All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Plan shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.  In the event the Company determines that the terms of this Plan do not comply with Section 409A, the Company will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2 of this Plan, amend the terms of this Plan such that it complies (in a manner that attempts to minimize the economic impact of such amendment on the Participants and the Company) within the time period permitted by the applicable Treasury Regulations.  In no event shall the Company be required to pay any Participant any “gross-up” or other payment with respect to any taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A with respect to any benefit paid to Executive hereunder.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and using the identification methodology selected by Motorola from time to time) on the Participant’s Date of Termination, then any payment or benefit which would be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A that the Participant is entitled to receive upon the Participant’s Date of Termination and which otherwise would be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s Date of Termination will instead be paid or made available on the earlier of the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Date of Termination and the Participant’s death.
7.11    Governing Law.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the laws of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of law, except to the extent pre-empted by Federal law.
