The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of Motorola and its stockholdersby providing employees (the "Employees") of Motorola and its Subsidiaries (asdefined under the Plan) with the opportunity, through stock ownership, to increasetheir proprietary interest in Motorola and their personal interest in its continuedsuccess and progress.

5. Under the Plan, eligible Employees are granted options ("Options") to acquireShares, which Options, except in limited circumstances, are non-transferable, otherthan by will (or other death beneficiary designation) or the law of descent anddistribution.

The Plan Broker will administer the operation of the Plan, including the exercise ofOptions by Employees, former Employees or the legal representatives ofEmployees or former Employees, as the case may be (collectively, the"Participants"), and the sale by Participants of any Shares acquired under the Plan,including Shares acquired upon the Dividend Reinvestments.
