under, and rights to distribution or other payment from any of
Motorola’s benefit or compensation plans, including but not
limited to the Motorola Elected Officers Supplemental Retirement
Plan, the Motorola Elected Officers Life Insurance Plan, the
Motorola Mid-Range Incentive Plan for any given cycle, the Motorola
Incentive Plan, the Motorola Management Deferred Compensation Plan,
the Motorola Financial Planning Program, any applicable stock
option plan, any stock option award document, and any restricted

documents and agreements. Motorola is making no guarantee, warranty
or representation in this Agreement regarding any position that may
be taken by any administrator or plan regarding the effect of this
Agreement upon your rights, benefits or coverage under those plans
.
(b) Upon your separation,
each of your outstanding stock option grants will be accorded the
most favorable treatment for which each grant qualifies per the
terms of the applicable stock option plans or award documents
(exercisable for not less than the lesser of 12 months or the
unexpired stated option term).
(c) Benefits coverage in
effect on your Separation Date under the Motorola Employee Medical
Benefits Plan (“Medical Plan”), as amended from time to
time, will be continued at the regular employee contribution rate
through the end of December 31, 2005, provided that you comply
with all terms and conditions of the Medical Plan, including paying
the necessary contributions and provided further, if you are
reemployed with another employer and become covered under that
employer’s medical plan, the medical benefits described
herein (if they are not terminated as provided in COBRA, defined
below) shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan.
After the total period of medical benefit continuation provided in
this Agreement, you may elect to continue medical benefits under
the Medical Plan at your own expense, in accordance with COBRA. The
period of medical benefit continuation described immediately above
counts toward and reduces the maximum coverage under

On that date you will assume responsibility for all, maintenance,
service and other fees related thereto, and Motorola will have no
responsibility for it thereafter. You are responsible for any
income taxes due as a result of this transfer. Motorola also will
