The Recoupment Policy is in addition to any other remedies which may be otherwise available to the Company at law, in equity or under contract, or otherwise required by law, including under Section 10D of the Exchange Act.
You expressly agree that the Company may take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing (as applicable to you) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by you. For purposes of the foregoing and as a condition to the grant, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to the Designated Broker (as defined in Section 27 below) (or any other stock plan service provider engaged by the Company to administer awards granted under the Plan) to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company.

You acknowledge that you have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. You further represent that in entering into this Agreement, you are not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that you are relying only upon your own judgment and any advice provided by the your attorney. You acknowledge that you have been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein.

administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency (and for purpose of clarity, you are not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act). You do not need prior authorization from the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and are not required to notify the Company that you have made such reports or disclosures.

In addition, the DTSA provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and provided the Units have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, the Units will vest as follows:

a.Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs and the successor corporation (or parent thereof) does not assume the Award or replace it with a comparable award, then the Units shall fully vest on the date of such Change in Control;
provided, further, that if the Award is assumed or replaced, any agreement or other documentation providing for such assumption or replacement shall provide that the assumed or replaced Award shall be fully vested in the event of your involuntary termination (for a reason other than “Cause”) or if you quit for “Good Reason,” in either case within 24 months of the Change in Control. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “Change of Control”, “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in the Plan.

c.Death. All unvested Units shall fully vest upon your termination of employment with Motorola Solutions and its Subsidiaries due to death.
d.Certain Terminations of Employment. In the case of a Termination due to a Divestiture (as defined in Section 27 below) in which the Units are not assumed by your successor employer (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) or replaced with an award at least comparable to these Units, or if Motorola Solutions or a Subsidiary terminates your employment for reasons other than for Serious Misconduct (as defined in Section 27 below) before the expiration of the Restriction Period, and if the Units have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, then the Units shall vest on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to (i)(A) the total number of Units subject to the Award, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of your completed full months of service from the Date of Grant to the date of termination and the denominator of which is the Restriction Period, minus (ii) any Units that vested prior to such termination. Any Units remaining unvested at the date of such termination shall be forfeited.
1.Delivery of Certificates or Equivalent.
a.Upon the vesting of the applicable Units described in Section 3 above, the Company shall, at its election, either: (i) establish a U.S. brokerage account for you with the Designated Broker (as defined in Section 27) and credit to that account the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units that have vested, less any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 9 below); or (ii) deliver to you a certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units that have vested, less any shares withheld or sold to cover Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 9 below).
b.Subject to Section 26, the actions contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) above shall occur within 60 days following the date that the applicable Units vested.
2.Whole Shares. Vested Units shall be paid in whole shares of Common Stock; no fractional shares shall be credited or delivered to you.
3.Adjustments. The Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.
4.Funding. No assets or shares of Common Stock shall be segregated or earmarked by the Company in respect of any Units awarded hereunder. The grant of Units hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.
5.Dividends and Stockholder Rights.
a.Dividends. No dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall be paid with respect to Units credited to your account.
b.Stockholder Rights. You shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Units, including the right to vote and to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of certificate or equivalent representing shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Units.
6.Tax-Related Items.
a.Responsibility for Taxes. By accepting the Award, you acknowledge and agree that:
i.regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), you shall be ultimately responsible for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or legally imposed on the Company or the Employer as a result of your participation in the Plan and deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you (“Tax-Related Items”);
ii.your liability for Tax-Related Items may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer;
iii.the Company and/or the Employer make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends;
iv.the Company and/or the Employer do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result; and
v.if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
a.Withholding Taxes. In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
i.withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to you in connection with vesting of the Units; or
ii.withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization).
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum and maximum rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you
may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock, or the proceeds of the sale of such shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
a.Withholding Taxes for Section 16 Officers. Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, if you are considered an officer for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) you may elect to satisfy your obligations for Tax-Related Items by one of the withholding methods set forth in Section 9(b)(i) - (ii) above, unless otherwise set forth in the Appendix for your country. In the absence of such an election, the Company and/or the Employer will satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable vesting Units, as set forth in Section 9(b)(i), unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities laws, or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied by the methods set forth in Sections 9(b)(ii) above.
1.Nature of Grant. By accepting the Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
a.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
b.the grant of Units is exceptional, voluntary, non-recurrent and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, or benefits in lieu of Units, even if Units have been granted in the past;

d.the Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create or amend an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate your employment relationship (if any) at any time;

h.the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
i.except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Units and the benefits evidenced by the Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another
company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock of the Company;
j.unless otherwise agreed with the company in writing, the Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of any Subsidiary;
k.the Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose;
l.none of the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Units; and
m.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from the termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any).

APPENDIX TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Units granted to you under the Plan if you work and/or reside in one of the countries listed below. If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working and/or residing (or are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you transfer employment or residency to a different country after the Units are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to you.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix also includes notifications regarding certain issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. These notifications are based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2023.

In addition, the notifications contained in this Appendix are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation and, as a result, the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your individual situation.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working (or are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you relocate to a different country after the Units are granted, the notifications contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to you in the same manner.

CANADA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Form of Payment. Notwithstanding any discretion contained in the Plan, vested Units shall be paid in whole shares of Common Stock only.
The following provisions apply for residents of Quebec:
English Language Provision. A French translation of the Plan and the Agreement are available. You understand that, from time to time, additional information related to the offering of the Plan might be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French. However, upon request, the Company will translate into French documents related to the offering of the Plan as soon as reasonably practicable.
Consentement en Anglais. Une traduction française du Plan et de l'Accord est disponible. Tu comprends ça, de temps à autre, des informations supplémentaires liées à l'offre du Plan peuvent être fournies en anglais et que ces informations peuvent ne pas être immédiatement disponibles en français. Cependant, sur demande, la Compagnie traduira en français les documents relatifs à l'offre du Plan dès que raisonnablement possible.
Data Privacy Notice and Consent. This provision supplements Section 15 of the Award Agreement (Consent to Transfer Personal Data):
You hereby authorize the Company and its representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Employer, the Company, any Subsidiary and the Designated Broker to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors.

NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. Canadian residents may not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Units within Canada. Canadian residents may only be permitted to sell or dispose of any such shares if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada on the facilities on which the Common Stock is traded (i.e., on the New York Stock Exchange).
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. Foreign specified property, including shares of Common Stock, stock options, and other rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., Units) of a non-Canadian
company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the employee’s foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, such Units must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign specified property is held by the employee. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of such shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. Canadian residents should consult with their personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with their reporting requirements.
CHILE
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The grant of the Award constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Date of Grant. This offer of Restricted Stock Units is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Chilean Commission of the Financial Market (“CMF”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the CMF, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the CMF. Given that the Restricted Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the Restricted Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta Oferta del Otorgamiento constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Oferta. Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General Nº 336 (“NCG 336”) de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero de Chile (“CMF”). Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse de valores no inscritos en Chile no existe la obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los mismos. Estos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública en Chile mientras no sean inscritos en el Registro de Valores correspondiente.
Exchange Control Information. Chilean residents are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of any dividends. However, if Chilean residents decide to repatriate such funds, they must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of the funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, Chilean residents must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding (i) the results of investments held abroad and (ii) any taxes paid abroad which the taxpayers will use as a credit against Chilean income tax. The Form 1929 disclosing this information (or Formularios) must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website in accordance with applicable deadlines: www.sii.cl. In addition, shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Units must be registered with the CIRS’s Foreign Investment Registry. Chilean taxpayers who fail to meet these requirements may be ineligible to receive certain foreign tax credits.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms apply only to nationals of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) residing in the PRC, unless otherwise determined by the Company:
Immediate Sale Restriction. Due to exchange control laws in the PRC, you understand and agree that the Company may require that any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Units be immediately sold. If the Company, in its discretion, does not exercise its right to require the automatic sale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the Units, as described in the preceding
sentence, you understand and agree that any such shares acquired by you under the Plan must be sold no later than ninety (90) days after your termination of employment, or within any other such time frame as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons or is required by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). You understand that any shares of Common Stock acquired by you under the Plan that have not been sold within ninety (90) days of your termination of employment will be automatically sold by the Designated Broker at the Company’s direction, pursuant to this authorization by you. You also acknowledge and understand that you must maintain shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in an account maintained by the Designated Broker or such other stock plan provider as may be selected by the Company.
You agree that the Company is authorized to instruct the Designated Broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization), and you expressly authorize the Designated Broker to complete the sale of such shares. You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Designated Broker) to effectuate the sale of the shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Designated Broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock and/or applicable exchange rates between the RSU Vesting Date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the RSU Vesting Date (which is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock and/or any applicable exchange rate. You acknowledge that you are not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company as of the date of the Agreement.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Appendix for China below under “Exchange Control Restrictions.”
You understand that your Employer and/or any Subsidiary to which you provide service must be registered with the SAFE prior to vesting of the Units. If the Company is unable to obtain registration approval for your Employer and/or any Subsidiary to which you provide service prior to the vesting of such Units, the vesting of the Units may be delayed.
Exchange Control Restrictions. By accepting the Award, you understand and agree that, due to PRC exchange control restrictions, you are not permitted to transfer any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan out of your account established with the Designated Broker and that you will be required to repatriate all proceeds due to you under the Plan to the PRC, including any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or dividends.
Further, you understand that such repatriation will need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or Subsidiary in the PRC, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or in local currency, at the Company’s discretion.

Labor Law Acknowledgement. This provision supplements the acknowledgement contained in Section 10 of the Award Agreement (Nature of Grant):
You acknowledge that, pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits are granted by the Company entirely on a discretionary basis, do not exclusively depend upon your performance with the Employer, and do not constitute a component of your “salary” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the Award and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable, subject to any limitations as may be imposed under local law.

Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores).

Exchange Control Information. You must register your investments with the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República).

Upon liquidation of assets held abroad, you must (i) cancel the registration with the Central Bank and (ii) repatriate the proceeds from the sale or liquidation to Colombia and file the appropriate Central Bank form (usually through your local bank). You personally are responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.

Securities Law Information. Warning: This is an offer of rights to receive shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Units subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Units give you a stake in the ownership of the Company. You may receive a return if dividends are paid on the shares of Common Stock. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to participate in the Plan.

Securities Law Information. This Appendix, the Award Agreement, the Plan and all other materials that you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. Absent any requirement under local law, the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia; hence, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.
Exchange Control Information. You may be required to repatriate certain cash amounts received with respect to the Awards to Russia as soon as you intend to use those cash amounts for any purpose, including reinvestment. If the repatriation requirement applies, such funds must initially be credited to you through a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia. After the funds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to foreign banks in accordance with Russian exchange control laws. Under the Directive N 5371-U of the Russian Central Bank (the “CBR”), the repatriation requirement may not apply in certain cases with respect to cash amounts received in an account that is considered by the CBR to be a foreign brokerage account. Statutory exceptions to the repatriation requirement also may apply. You should contact your personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable exchange control requirements prior to vesting in the Awards and/or selling shares of Common Stock.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. Russian residents are required to report the opening, closing or changing of details of any foreign bank or brokerage account to the Russian tax authorities within one (1) month of opening, closing or changing the details of such account. Russian residents are also required to report, by June 1 of each year, the annual cash flow and/or financial assets (e.g., shares of Common Stock and financial instruments) held in an offshore brokerage or bank account due for the previous year. Reporting requirements were further revised to expand the reporting requirement to include financial asset (including shares of Common Stock) transactions in offshore accounts. Non-compliance with the reporting obligations could impact the vesting of the Units and your ability to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Units, as well as your ability to maintain the account outside of Russia and participate in the Plan. Russian residents should consult with their personal tax advisor for additional information about these reporting obligations.
Labor Law Information. If Russian residents continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired at the vesting of the Units after an involuntary termination of their employment, they will not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.

SPAIN
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements Section 10 of the Award Agreement (Nature of Grant):
By accepting the Award, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition
that any grant will not bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than as expressly set forth in the Plan and the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Units and any shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Units are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the Units will be cancelled without entitlement to any shares of Common Stock if your employment is terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when your employment has terminated for purposes of the Units.
In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the Units shall be null and void.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Units. The Agreement has not been, nor will it be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. To the extent that Spanish residents hold rights or assets (e.g., shares of Common Stock, cash, etc.) in a bank or brokerage account outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year, such residents are required to report information on such rights and assets on their tax return for such year. Shares of Common Stock constitute securities for purposes of this requirement, but unvested rights (e.g., Units) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.
If applicable, Spanish residents must report the assets or rights on Form 720 by no later than March 31 following the end of the relevant year. After such assets or rights are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported assets or rights increases by more than €20,000. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties.
Spanish residents are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts, if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds €1,000,000. More frequent reporting is required if such transaction value or account balance exceeds €1,000,000.
Spanish residents should consult with their personal tax and legal advisors to ensure compliance with their personal reporting obligations.
Exchange Control Information. In the event that you hold 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Board of Directors of the Company, you must declare such holding to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio Internacional e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), the Bureau for Commerce and Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism. Such declaration should be done by filing a Form D-6 each January while the shares of Common Stock are owned. In addition, the acquisition and sale when you hold 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights of the Company must also be declared on Form D-6 filed with the Spanish Registro de Inversiones within one month from the acquisition or sale.

Failure to comply with the above obligations may lead to penalties being assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult with your legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock (or receiving any other funds in connection with the Plan) to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is your responsibility to comply with exchange control laws in Thailand and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Financial Intermediary Information. In certain circumstances, residents of Türkiye are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock traded on a non-Türkiye stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Türkiye. Therefore, residents of Türkiye may be required to appoint a Türkiye broker to assist with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. Residents of Türkiye should consult their personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.

This statement contains only the information required to be mentioned under the Stock Option Act while the other terms and conditions of your restricted stock unit grant (“RSUs”) are described in detail in the Motorola Solutions Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2015 (the “Plan”) and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement including any country-specific appendix (collectively, the “Agreement”), which have been given to you. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or Agreement.
1. Date of grant of unfunded right to receive shares of common stock upon satisfying certain conditions
The grant date of your RSUs is the date that the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof (the “Committee”) approved a grant for you and determined it would be effective.
2. Terms or conditions for grant of a right to future award of common stock
The grant of RSUs will be at the sole discretion of the Board or the appropriate Committee. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Company may decide, in its sole discretion, not to make any grants of RSUs to you in the future. Under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, you have no entitlement or claim to receive future RSUs or other equity awards.
3. Vesting Date or Period
Generally, your RSUs will vest over the course of a period of time, as provided in the Agreement. Your RSUs shall be converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company upon vesting.
4. Exercise Price
No exercise price is payable upon the vesting of your RSUs and the issuance of the Company’s common stock to you in accordance with the vesting schedule described above.
5. Your rights upon termination of employment
The treatment of your RSUs upon termination of your continuous service will be determined in accordance with the termination provisions in the Agreement. Unless otherwise described in this Section 5 or the Agreement, upon termination of your service, all of your unvested RSUs will be cancelled and forfeited to the Company. However, in the event your termination of employment due to death or Total and Permanent Disability, your RSUs will fully vest. Sections 3(b) and 3(e) of the Agreement discuss the treatment of the RSUs in the event of a Change in Control or termination due to Divestiture.
6. Financial aspects of participating in the Plan
The grant of RSUs has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the RSUs is not taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary.
Shares of common stock are financial instruments and investing in common stock will always have financial risk. The value of the common stock will not only be dependent on the Company’s financial development, but also on the general development of the stock market. The future value of the Company’s common stock is unknown, indeterminate and cannot be predicted with certainty.

ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING
I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret mv. i ansættelsesforhold som ændret med virkning fra 1. januar 2019 ("Aktieoptionsloven") er du berettiget til i en særskilt skriftlig erklæring at modtage følgende oplysninger om den for Motorola Solutions Inc. ("Selskabet") gældende RSU-ordning.
Denne erklæring indeholder kun de oplysninger, der kræves i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven, hvorimod de øvrige vilkår og betingelser for din tildeling af Restricted Stock Units ("RSU'er") er nærmere beskrevet i Motorola Solutions Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2015 ("Ordningen") og i Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, inklusive eventuelle landetillæg (samlet "Aftalen"), som du har fået udleveret. Begreber, der står med stort begyndelsesbogstav i denne arbejdsgivererklæring, men som ikke er defineret heri, har den betydning, der er defineret i Ordningen eller Aftalen.
1. Tidspunkt for tildeling af den vederlagsfri ret til at modtage ordinære aktier mod opfyldelse af visse betingelser
Tidspunktet for tildelingen af dine RSU'er er den dato, hvor Selskabets Bestyrelse eller et bestyrelsesudvalg ("Udvalget") har godkendt tildelingen til dig og fastslået, at den er gyldig.
2. Vilkår og betingelser for tildeling af en ret til fremover at modtage ordinære aktier
Tildelingen af RSU'er sker efter Bestyrelsens eller det relevante Udvalgs eget skøn. Medarbejdere i Selskabet og i dets datterselskaber kan deltage i Ordningen. Selskabet kan efter eget skøn vælge ikke at tildele dig nogen RSU'er i fremtiden. I henhold til Ordningens og Aftalens bestemmelser har du ikke hverken ret til eller krav på fremover at modtage RSU'er eller andre aktiebaserede tildelinger.
3. Modningstidspunkt eller -periode
Dine RSU'er modnes som udgangspunkt over en bestemt periode som anført i Aftalen. På modningstidspunktet konverteres RSU'erne til et tilsvarende antal ordinære aktier i Selskabet.
4. Udnyttelseskurs
Der skal ikke betales nogen udnyttelseskurs i forbindelse med modningen af dine RSU'er og Selskabets udstedelse af ordinære aktier til dig i overensstemmelse med den ovenfor beskrevne modningstidsplan.
5. Din retsstilling ved fratræden
I tilfælde af ophør af din fortsatte ansættelse vil dine RSU'er blive behandlet i overensstemmelse med ophørsbestemmelserne i Aftalen. Medmindre andet følger af dette pkt. 5 eller af Aftalen, vil alle ikke-modnede RSU'er ved din fratræden bortfalde og blive tilbageført til Selskabet. Hvis ansættelsesforholdet ophører som følge af død eller Fuldstændig og Permanent Uarbejdsdygtighed, vil dine RSU'er dog modne fuldt ud. Behandlingen af RSU'er i tilfælde af Kontrolskifte eller opsigelse som følge af Frasalg er beskrevet i Aftalens pkt. 3(b) og 3(e).
6. Økonomiske aspekter ved deltagelse i Ordningen
Tildelingen af RSU'er har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af RSU'erne indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller andre lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser.
Ordinære aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i ordinære aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Værdien af de ordinære aktier afhænger ikke alene af Selskabets økonomiske udvikling, men også af den generelle udvikling på aktiemarkedet. Den fremtidige værdi af Selskabets ordinære aktier kendes ikke og kan ikke forudsiges med sikkerhed.
