  (i) Death or Disability. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated due to the Participant’s death or Disability, any unvested portion of the SAR as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable and, along with any unexercised vested portion of the SAR, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of:

In the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate may exercise the vested SAR.

For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Cause” has the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Company and/or any Subsidiary and the Participant or, if the Participant is not a party to such an agreement, “Cause” has the meaning, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, set forth in the Plan.

  (iv) Other Termination of Employment. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason other than as provided in Section 2(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) or Section 5 hereof, the unexercised vested portion of the SAR as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall remain exercisable until the earliest of:

 

  (A) the Expiration Date; or

 

  (B) ninety (90) days after the date of the Participant’s involuntary (as to the Participant) termination of employment for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement, or Cause; or

3. Exercise of SAR.

(a) Notice of Exercise. Prior to the Expiration Date, the vested portion of the SAR may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 7(j) hereof and in such form as the Company may require from time to time. Such notice of exercise shall specify the number of SAR Shares to be exercised.

(b) Payment. As of the date of exercise of the SAR, the Company shall settle the exercised portion of the SAR as provided in Section 6.6 of the Plan. The amount of the payment for each SAR Share exercised shall equal (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise, less (ii) the SAR Price for each such exercised SAR Share. The exercised SAR shall be settled in whole shares of Stock, and cash for the value of a fractional share of Stock.

(c) Payment of Taxes. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the exercise of the SAR, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided in Section 9,10 of the Plan. Alternatively, subject to Company approval, the Participant may elect to withhold a portion of the SAR exercise payment equal to the minimum statutory tax that would be imposed on the exercise, as provided under Section 9.10 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the SAR and its exercise.

(d) Death Prior to Exercise. In the event of the Participant’s death prior to the exercise of any vested portion of the SAR, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate may exercise the vested SAR.

 

4. Compliance with Federal and State Law. The Company reserves the right to delay the Participant’s exercise of any portion of the SAR if (a) the Company’s issuance of Stock upon such exercise would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws or any other applicable laws or regulations, or (b) the Company reasonably determines that payment of such SAR portion would not be deductible under Code Section 162(m). The Participant may not sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the SAR in violation of any applicable law. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Stock in payment for the exercise of such portion of the SAR for so long as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy the following:

 

  (i) its completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the Stock or it or the Participant satisfying any exemption from registration under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation;

 

3


  (ii) its receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to exercise the SAR after the Participant’s death is entitled to do so; and

 

  (iii) the Participant complying with any federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations.

 

5. Change in Control. Subject to Section 9.8 of the Plan:

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan in connection with which (i) holders of Shares receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and disregarding the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and (ii) this SAR Agreement is assumed or provision is made for the continuation of this SAR Agreement, then subject to Section 4.3 of the Plan, this SAR Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms, and there shall be substituted for each SAR Share then subject to this SAR Agreement, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any such substitution, the SAR Price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board or Committee (whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made without an increase in the aggregate SAR Price. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason or by Zebra or any Subsidiary without Cause on or after the date of such Change in Control and on or prior to the one-year anniversary date of such Change in Control, then any unvested portion of the SAR as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable and, along with any unexercised vested portion of the SAR, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (1) the Expiration Date or (2) one (1) year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Good Reason” has the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Company and/or any Subsidiary and the Participant or, if the Participant is not a party to such an agreement, “Good Reason” has the meaning set forth in the Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or (b) of the Plan, or in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan as to which Section 5(a) above does not apply, this grant shall be surrendered to the Company by the Participant, and this grant shall immediately be canceled by the Company, and the Participant shall receive, within 10 days following the effective date of the Change in Control, a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number of SAR Shares then subject to this SAR, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (i) the highest per Share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of the Change in Control, over the SAR Price.

 

6. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. The Participant agrees to, understands, and acknowledges the following:

 

  (a) Confidential Information. The Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company and/or a Subsidiary. For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and/or a Subsidiary that is confidential and proprietary to the Company and/or a Subsidiary, including without limitation:

 

  (i) information relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists and other similar information;

 

4


  (ii) inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company and/or a Subsidiary;

 

  (iii) the Company’s or Subsidiary’s proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of, but not limited, to computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development;

 

  (iv) the subject matter of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and

 

  (v) other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents that the Company and/or a Subsidiary reasonably regards as being confidential.

The Company and its Subsidiaries devote significant financial, human and other resources to the development of their products, customer base and the general goodwill associated with their business, and the Company and its Subsidiaries diligently maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of their Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and/or Subsidiary and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or its Subsidiaries or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Participant’s employment.

All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company and/or Subsidiary. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company and/or Subsidiary, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or a Subsidiary or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. The Participant further agrees that, immediately

 

5


upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during the Participant’s employment if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant or by others.

 

  (b) Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this SAR Agreement, if at any time prior to the date that is one year after the date of exercise of all or any portion of the SAR, the Participant directly or indirectly:

 

  (i) breaches or violates Section 6(a) of this SAR Agreement; or

 

  (ii) employs, recruits or solicits for employment any person who is (or was within the six (6) months prior to the Participant’s employment termination date) an employee of the Company and/or any Subsidiary; or

 

  (iii) accepts employment or engages in a competing business that may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; or

 

  (iv) solicits or encourages any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company or any Subsidiary with whom the Participant had contact while employed by the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Participant understands that any person or entity that the Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” of the Company to whom the Company or a Subsidiary has a protectable proprietary interest;

the SAR shall terminate automatically on the date the Participant engages in such activity and the Participant shall pay the Company, within five business days of receipt by the Participant of a written demand therefor, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the number of Shares as to which the SAR was exercised within the one-year period described above by the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such exercise and (ii) the SAR Price per SAR (without reduction for any Shares withheld by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)).

  (c) Remedies for Violation.

 

  (i) Injunctive Action. The Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6, the injury that would be suffered by the Company and/or a Subsidiary as a result of a breach of the provisions of this SAR Agreement (including any provision of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company and/or a Subsidiary for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company and/or a Subsidiary will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this SAR Agreement, and the Company and/or Subsidiary will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s or Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6 or any other remedies of the Company or a Subsidiary, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cancel this SAR Agreement.

 

  (ii) Attorneys’ Fees; Set-off Right. In addition to the rights available to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if the Participant violates the terms of this Section 6 at any time, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in enforcing the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6. By accepting this SAR grant, the Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any Subsidiary owes to the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary), unless such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent of any amounts that the Participant owes the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Subsidiary does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company or any Subsidiary, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

  (d) Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this SAR Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectable interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

  (e) Written Acknowledgement by the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to the exercise of this SAR, to acknowledge in writing that he or she has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

  (a) No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this SAR Agreement or of the SAR granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

  (b) Stockholder Rights. Until the SAR shall have been duly exercised into Stock and such Stock has been officially recorded as issued on the Company’s official stockholder records, no person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of such Stock, and adjustments for dividends or otherwise shall be made only if the record date thereof is subsequent to the date such shares are recorded and after the date of exercise and without duplication of any adjustment.

Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or exercised by the Participant’s estate.

The Participant is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but a refusal to provide such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. The Company or its Subsidiaries may transfer Data among themselves or to third parties as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

  (i) Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time.
