Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 18, 2007, Motorola, Inc. (the Company) and David Devonshire, the
former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, entered into an agreement (referred to herein as the
Agreement) with respect to Mr. Devonshires separation from the Company. The Agreement replaces the Companys previously
disclosed severance arrangement with Mr. Devonshire, which was entered into, along with other
compensation arrangements, as an incentive for him to join the Company in March 2002. Set forth below is a
summary of the key terms of the Agreement.
Mr. Devonshire will separate from the Company on December 31, 2007 (Separation Date). The
Company will continue to pay Mr. Devonshire his regular base pay in regular payroll installments
through the Separation Date. Mr. Devonshire also will remain eligible to receive pro rata payments
under the Companys annual and long-term incentive plans for performance periods ending in 2007.
In addition, after Mr. Devonshire has signed, returned, and not revoked the Agreement, which includes a general release of all legal claims, the
Company will pay Mr. Devonshire $225,000 (less applicable state and federal payroll tax deductions)
in a lump sum. Following his Separation Date, Mr. Devonshire is required to sign a supplemental
release (the Supplemental Release) of all legal claims, other than those claims that cannot be
waived by law, arising out of his employment with, or his separation from, the Company. After Mr.
Devonshire has signed, returned, and not revoked the Supplemental Release, the Company will pay Mr.
Devonshire $1,008,133.56 (less applicable state and federal payroll tax deductions) in a lump sum.
The Agreement also requires Mr. Devonshire to cooperate in all investigations, litigation or other
actions regarding matters of which he has knowledge, and to continue to comply with the
non-disclosure, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions contained in his prior equity award
agreements with the Company.
The preceding summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Agreement, filed with this report as Exhibit 10.41 and incorporated herein.
