The Company hereby grants to the Grantee a total of [ Number of Shares] Motorola restricted stock units (the “Units”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

a. | The Grantee may not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise transfer any of the Units still subject to Restrictions. The Units shall be forfeited if the Grantee violates or attempts to violate these transfer Restrictions.

c. | If the Grantee violates the covenants in Section 7 of the Employment Agreement between the Grantee and the Company, originally dated as of December 15, 2003 and as amended May 2, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement), in addition to all remedies in law and/or equity available to the Company, Grantee shall forfeit all restricted stock units under the Award whose Restrictions have not lapsed, and, for all restricted stock units under the Award whose Restrictions have lapsed, Grantee shall immediately pay to the Company the Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 7 below) of Common Stock on the date(s) such Restrictions lapsed, without regard to any taxes that may have been deducted from such amount. | ||
The Company will not be obligated to pay the Grantee any consideration whatsoever for forfeited Units. |
3. | Lapse of Restrictions. |
a. | The Restrictions applicable to the Units shall lapse, as long as the Units have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, as follows: |
(i) | [Vesting Schedule] (the “Restricted Period”); | ||
(ii) | Upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined by the2006 Omnibus Plan); provided, however, that if a Change in Control of the Company occurs and the successor corporation (or parent thereof) does not assume this Award or replace it with a comparable award; provided, further, that with respect to any Award that is assumed or replaced, such assumed or replaced awards shall provide that the Restrictions shall lapse for any Participant that is involuntarily terminated (for a reason other than “Cause”) or quits for “Good Reason” within 24 months of the Change in Control. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “Change in Control”, “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in the Employment Agreement. | ||
(iii) | If the Grantee becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled. A “Total and Permanent Disability” means “Disability” as defined in the Employment Agreement; | ||
(iv) | If the Grantee dies; or | ||
(v) | If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by Motorola |
2
without “Cause” or by the Grantee for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), pursuant and subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement. |
b. | If during the Restricted Period the Grantee takes a Leave of Absence from Motorola or a Subsidiary and the Grantee’s employment from Motorola or a Subsidiary is not terminated for any reason (other than death, Total and Permanent Disability or as set forth in Section 3(a)(v)), the Units will continue to be subject to this Agreement. If the Restricted Period expires while the Grantee is on a Leave of Absence the Grantee will be entitled to the Units even if the Grantee has not returned to active employment. “Leave of Absence” means a leave of absence from Motorola or a Subsidiary that is not a termination of employment, as determined by Motorola. | ||
c. | To the extent the Restrictions lapse under this Section 3 with respect to the Units, they will be free of the terms and conditions of this Award. |
4. | Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of Motorola Common Stock (“Common Stock”) is changed as a result of stock dividend, stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of Units subject to this Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
5. | Dividends No dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall be paid with respect to Units credited to the Grantee’s account. |
6. | Delivery of Certificates or Equivalent. Upon the lapse of Restrictions applicable to the Units, the Company shall, at its election, either (i) deliver to the Grantee a certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units upon which such Restrictions have lapsed, or (ii) establish a brokerage account for the Grantee and credit to that account the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of Units upon which such Restrictions have lapsed plus, in either case, a cash payment equal to the value of any fractional Unit then credited to the Grantee’s account. |
7. | Withholding Taxes. The Company is entitled to withhold applicable taxes for the respective tax jurisdiction attributable to this Award or any payment made in connection with the Units. The Grantee may satisfy any minimum withholding obligation by electing to have the plan administrator retain shares of Common Stock deliverable in connection with the Units having a Fair Market Value on the date the Restrictions applicable to the Units lapse equal to the amount to be withheld. “Fair Market Value” for this purpose shall be the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the day the Restrictions applicable to the Units lapse as reported for the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions in the Wall Street Journal, Midwest edition. |
