shares, exchange of shares, stock rights offering, or other similar event, or any distribution to the holders of shares of Motorola Solutions common stock other than a regular cash dividend
(any of which is referred to herein as an equity restructuring), then the Committee shall make an equitable substitution or adjustment in the number or class of shares which may be issued under the Plan in the aggregate or to any one
participant in any calendar year and in the number, class, price or terms of shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the Plan as it deems appropriate.
(b) In direct connection with a Divestiture, the Committee may authorize the assumption or replacement of affected
participants awards by the spun-off facility or organizational unit or by the entity that controls the spun-off facility or organizational unit following
disaffiliation.
(c) In the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of Motorola Solutions with or into
another corporation which results in the outstanding Motorola Solutions common stock being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, there shall be substituted, on an equitable
basis as determined by the Committee in its discretion, for each share of Motorola Solutions common stock then subject to a benefit granted under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to
which holders of Motorola Solutions common stock will be entitled pursuant to the transaction. In addition, for any Stock Option or SAR with an Exercise Price greater than the consideration offered in connection with a Change in Control, the
Committee may in its discretion elect to cancel such Stock Option or SAR without any payment to the person holding such Stock Option or SAR.
(d) Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock
dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the
terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Stock Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards or Stock Options or SARs with an Exercise Price that is
less than the Exercise Price of the original Stock Options or SARs without stockholder approval.
16. Substitution
and Assumption of Benefits. The Board or the Committee may authorize the issuance of benefits under the Plan in connection with the assumption of, or substitution for, outstanding benefits previously granted to individuals who become employees
of Motorola Solutions or any Subsidiary as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization. The terms and conditions of the substitute awards may vary from the terms and conditions that would otherwise be
required by the Plan solely to the extent the Committee deems necessary for such purpose. Any substitute awards granted under the Plan shall not count against the share limitations set forth in Section 4 hereof, to the
extent permitted by Section 303A.08 of the Corporate Governance Standards of the NYSE.
17. Nontransferability. Each benefit granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and each Stock Option and SAR shall be exercisable during the participants lifetime only by the participant or, in the event of disability, by the participants personal representative. In the event of
the death of a participant, exercise of any benefit or payment with respect to any benefit shall be made only by the person or persons to whom the deceased participants rights under the benefit shall pass by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Subject to the approval of the Committee in its sole discretion, Stock Options may be transferable to members of the immediate family of the participant and to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, partnerships in
which such family members are the only partners, or corporations in which such family members are the only stockholders. Members of the immediate family means the participants spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents,
grandparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters), and individuals who are family members by adoption.
18. Taxes. Motorola Solutions shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to any amounts
payable or shares deliverable under the Plan, after giving notice to the person entitled to receive such payment or delivery, and Motorola Solutions may defer making payment or delivery as to any award, if any such tax is payable, until indemnified
to its satisfaction. In connection with the exercise of a Stock Option or the receipt or vesting of shares of Motorola Solutions common stock hereunder, a participant may, as determined by the Committee, pay all or a portion of any withholding
as follows: (a) with the consent of the Committee, by having Motorola Solutions withhold shares of Motorola Solutions common stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld; (b) by delivering irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell shares of Motorola Solutions common stock and to promptly deliver the sales proceeds to Motorola Solutions for the amount required to be withheld; (c) by cash or certified check; or (d) through such
other methods as approved by the Committee. The shares of common stock used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of common stock on the date the benefit is to be included in
participants income. In no event will the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock to be withheld and delivered pursuant to this Section 18 exceed the minimum required statutory withholding amount, unless
(i) an additional amount can be withheld and not result in adverse accounting consequences, and (ii) such additional withholding amount is authorized by the Committee.
19. Duration of the Plan. No award shall be made under the Plan more than ten years after the Restatement Date;
provided, however, that the terms and conditions applicable to any Stock Option or SAR granted on or before the ten year anniversary of the Restatement Date may thereafter be amended or modified by mutual agreement between Motorola Solutions and the
participant, or such other person as may then have an interest therein.
