(d) To use reasonable best efforts to furnish the Underwriters, prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second New York Business Day succeeding the date of this Agreement and from time to time, to furnish the Underwriters with written and electronic copies of the Prospectus in New York City in such quantities as you may reasonably request, and, if the delivery of a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is required at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Prospectus in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, to notify you and upon your request to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to the Underwriters and to any dealer in securities as many written and electronic copies as you may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and in case the Underwriters are required to deliver a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) in connection with sales of any of the Securities at any time nine months or more after the time of issue of the Prospectus, upon your request but at the expense of the Underwriters, to prepare and deliver to the Underwriters as many written and electronic copies as you may request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act;

If at the Renewal Deadline the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Securities, in a form satisfactory to you and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Securities. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
6. (a) The Company represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act; the Underwriters represent and agree that, without the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a free writing prospectus; any such free writing prospectus the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Underwriters is listed on Schedule II hereto;
(b) The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending; and
(c) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Underwriters an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document that will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use therein.
7. The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers; (ii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(c) hereof, if applicable, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification; (iii) all fees and expenses in connection with listing the Securities, if applicable; (iv) the filing fees incident to, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with, any review required by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Securities; (v) the costs and expenses relating to any electronic road show presentations undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities; (vi) the cost and charges of any trustee; and (vii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 7. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, and Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own respective costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by it, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it may make.
8. The obligations of each Underwriter hereunder, as to the Securities to be delivered on the Closing Date, shall be subject, in its discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of the Closing Date, true and correct, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its and their respective obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(g) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package there shall not have been any change in the capital stock (other than upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, the purchase of shares of stock by the Company pursuant to its share repurchase program disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package, or upon the conversion of convertible securities outstanding on the date of the most recent balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or pursuant to the Company’s employee stock ownership plan or pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans or the Company’s employee savings and profit sharing plan, in each case, disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package), or any change in the principal amount outstanding of long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than
10
as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Securities being delivered at the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(h) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 3(a)(62) under the Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities;

(j) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section 5(d) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the second New York Business Day succeeding the date of this Agreement;

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Underwriters may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Underwriters for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein.
(b) The Underwriters will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
11
information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total gross proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection with the Underwriter’s resale of the Securities pursuant to the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriters has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
12
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of the Underwriters; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
10. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any controlling person of the Underwriters, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
11. If the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse each of the Underwriters through you for all expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by each of the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to the Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
12. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made on or about August 14, 2020 which will be on or about the fourth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+4”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, or “T+2”, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the second business day before the delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in “T+4”, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors. | |

Each such May 15 or November 15 shall be an “Interest Payment Date” for the Notes.

9. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Notes.
10.

MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.
2.300 % Senior Note due November 15, 2030
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a Senior Indenture dated as of August 19, 2014 (herein called the “Senior Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Senior Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated as the 2.300% Senior Notes due November 15, 2030 (the “Notes”) of the Issuer. The Notes are initially limited in aggregate principal amount of $900,000,000; provided, however, that the Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise similar in all respects so that such further notes would be consolidated and form a single series of the Notes.
Except as otherwise provided in the Senior Indenture, this Note will be issued in global form only registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. This Note will not be issued in definitive form, except as otherwise provided in the Senior Indenture, and ownership of this Note shall be maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations of the Depositary.
Optional Redemption
The Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 15, 2030 (three months prior to the stated maturity of the Notes)(the “Par Call Date”), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date: (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, or (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate plus 0.300% (30 basis points). The Redemption Price shall be calculated assuming a 360- day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. On or after August 15, 2030 (three months prior to the stated maturity of the Notes), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100%, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of the Senior Indenture.
Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction (including any equity offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or a transaction involving a change of control of the Issuer) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, or (2) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is obtained, such Quotation.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, or their respective successors, as may be appointed from time to time by the Issuer; provided, however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and each of their respective successors (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”). If any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption (assuming the Note matures on the Par Call Date); provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon shall be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.
2
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Issuer shall assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
A partial redemption of the Notes will be effected in accordance with applicable DTC procedures.
3
Notice of any redemption will be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is delivered, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes, or portions thereof, called for redemption. Prior to 11:00 a.m. on to the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on that date.
Change of Control
If a change of control repurchase event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any change of control repurchase event or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to any change of control, but after the public announcement of the change of control, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the change of control repurchase event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “change of control payment date”). The notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the change of control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a change of control repurchase event occurring on or prior to the change of control payment date. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a change of control repurchase event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the change of control repurchase event provisions of the Notes, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the change of control repurchase event provisions of the Notes by virtue of compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
On the repurchase date following a change of control repurchase event, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:
| (1) | accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered pursuant to its offer; |
| (2) | deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and |
4
| (3) | deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. |
The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered.
The Issuer shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control repurchase event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following definitions are applicable:
“change of control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) or group of related “persons” other than the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) or group of related “persons” becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s stock or other voting stock into which the Issuer’s voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer are not continuing directors.
“change of control repurchase event” means the occurrence of both a change of control and a ratings event.
“continuing directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors of the Issuer who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election.
“investment grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Issuer.
5
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc. and its successors.
“rating agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Issuer, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within rating categories (+ and - for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).
“rating date” means the date which is 90 days prior to the earlier of (i) a change of control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a change of control or of the intention by the Issuer to effect a change of control.
“ratings event” means the occurrence of the events described in (a) or (b) below on, or within 60 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a change of control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a change of control or the intention by the Issuer to effect a change of control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the rating agencies): (a) in the event the Notes are rated by both rating agencies on the rating date as investment grade, the rating of the Notes shall be reduced so that the Notes are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies, or (b) in the event the Notes (1) are rated investment grade by one rating agency and below investment grade by the other rating agency, the rating of the Notes by either rating agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within rating categories, as well as between rating categories) so that the Notes are then rated below investment grade by both rating agencies or (2) are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies on the rating date, the rating of the Notes by either rating agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within rating categories, as well as between rating categories) or is withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a ratings event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular change of control (and thus shall not be deemed a ratings event for purposes of the definition of change of control repurchase event hereunder) if the rating agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable change of control (whether or not the applicable change of control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings event).
6
“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.
“voting stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
Events of Default
In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Senior Indenture.
Amendments
The Senior Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series issued under such Senior Indenture then Outstanding and affected to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, such Senior Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby, (i) extend the stated maturity of the principal of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any Security when due or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of Securities of any series issued under such Senior Indenture, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Senior Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, or to the default under any covenant or provision of the Senior Indenture which under the terms of the Senior Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Senior Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof or on registration of transfer hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

Re: Motorola Solutions, Inc. — Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Motorola Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of (i) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-223828) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the offering from time to time, together or separately and in one or more series (if applicable), of an indeterminate amount of various securities of the Company, including senior notes, (ii) the prospectus dated March 21, 2018 forming a part thereof, together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, (iii) the preliminary prospectus supplement in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on August 10, 2020, and (iv) the final prospectus supplement dated August 10, 2020 in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on August 11, 2020 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), in connection with the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.300% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate records, documents, instruments, certificates of public officials and of the Company and such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Notes constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors now or hereafter in effect, and equitable principles that may limit the right to specific enforcement of remedies.
We express no opinion as to matters governed by laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America, as in effect on the date hereof.
We hereby consent to your filing a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 14, 2020, and we further consent to the use of our name under the heading of “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement filed by the Company with the Commission. In giving such permission, we do not admit hereby that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. We disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes of the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law.
| Very truly yours, |
