Performance Factor

Target Award Percentages for each Plan Year for Participants who are (i) subject to Section 162(m), (ii) subject to Section 16, or (iii) designated as a member of the Motorola Senior Leadership Team shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. Target Award Percentages for each Plan Year for all other Participants shall be determined by salary grade by country by the MIP Committee.

Business Performance Factors shall be based on financial and non-financial factors as may be determined by the Compensation Committee in its complete discretion.

Individual Performance Factors are based on the performance of the Participants in contributing to the Company’s business performance. Managers will select an Individual Performance Factor for each Participant; provided, however, that Individual Performance Factors are limited to the range of 0x to 1.3x. The MIP Committee may determine additional limitations and guidelines regarding the selection of Individual Performance Factors.

Establishing Performance Measures and Goals

Annually, the Compensation Committee will establish the following for the Plan Year no later than the 90 th day of the Plan Year:

 

 

Performance measures — the specific financial and/or non-financial measures that will be used to determine the Business Performance Factors for that year, and the relative weighting of each measure.

 

 

 

Payout scales — for Motorola and its business units, the specific performance minimums, targets, and maximums and the corresponding percentage payout.

The Compensation Committee will review progress against the performance measures periodically throughout the year. At the end of the Plan Year, the Committee will review full year performance and the corresponding management recommendations regarding each Business Performance Factor. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine the final Business Performance Factor.

Payout Process

 

 

All earned awards will be paid in cash. Payment will be made as soon as administratively practical during the calendar year immediately following the close of a Plan Year (unless a Participant makes an irrevocable election under any deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to defer payment of a portion of the Participant’s Award, in which case such payment, if any, shall be made in accordance with such election).

 

 

 

A Participant shall have no right to any award until that award is paid.

General Provisions

 

 

Awards are subject to all applicable withholding taxes and other required deductions.

 

 

 

The Plan will not be available to Employees who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction which prohibits any provisions of this Plan or in which tax or other business considerations make participation impracticable in the judgment of the MIP Committee.

 

 

 

This Plan does not constitute a guarantee of employment nor does it restrict the Company’s rights to terminate employment at any time or for any reason.

 

 

 

The Plan and any individual award is offered as a gratuitous award at the sole discretion of the Company. The Plan does not create vested rights of any nature nor does it constitute a contract of employment or a contract of any other kind. The Plan does not create any customary concession or privilege to which there is any entitlement from year-to-year, except to the extent required under applicable law. Nothing in the Plan entitles an Employee to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan nor does it restrict the Company’s rights to increase or decrease the compensation of any Employee, except as otherwise required under applicable law.

 

 

 

Except as explicitly provided by law, the awards shall not become a part of any employment condition, regular salary, remuneration package, contract or agreement, but shall remain gratuitous in all respects. Awards are not to be taken into account for
