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. Devonshire’s separation from the Company. The Agreement replaces the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
