This will enable Motorola Mobility to continue to compete, recruit and relocate the best talent worldwide and to mobilize that talent to best suit business needs.

The GAC Domestic Relocation Program has been designed to assist you in making this transition with a minimum amount of difficulty. To further your understanding of this program, we recommend you read this policy and use it as a reference guide during your relocation.

C. SELLING YOUR HOME

Motorola Mobility realizes the sale of your home is one of the most important events of your relocation. The relocation policy provides a two-step program to assist in the sale of your home: 1) Home Marketing Assistance to help sell your home, and 2) A Guaranteed Buy-Out in the event your home does not sell. Motorola Mobility has contracted with a Relocation Management Company to assist you in the home sale process. To ensure their objectivity this company is paid a fee by Motorola Mobility and does not earn a commission on the sale of your home.

To ensure compliance of IRS requirements, there are two important points to follow while selling your home: The inclusion of the listing clause (page 8) and adherence to the Eleven Steps for an amended sale (page 10). Please take the time to read these paragraphs carefully, as both must be followed to ensure your eligibility for relocation benefits. If they are not followed, you will forfeit any relocation benefits pertaining to the sale of your home, including payment of commission and closing costs.

Eligible Homes

You are eligible for assistance in selling your principal residence, including a guaranteed buyout, if you own a completed single-family or two-family residence, including a condominium. This includes land customarily considered part of a residential lot and property normally sold with a residence according to local custom.

Your home is defined as your main home (residence). It can be a house, townhouse, or condominium. It does not include other homes owned or kept up by you or members of your family. It also does not include a seasonal home, such as a summer beach cottage. Your former home means your home before you left for your new job location. Your new home means your home within the area of your new job location.

Non-Eligible Homes

Mobile homes, cooperative apartments and houseboats are not eligible for assistance.

In addition, to be eligible, a residence cannot:

•

Be under construction or under remodeling.

•

Be ineligible for financing.

•

Contain or have contained any hazardous or toxic substance.

•

Be situated on or near any hazardous or toxic substance.

•

Be partly used for non-residential purposes.

•

Include land in excess of a normal lot for the neighborhood in which it is located.

•

Be a non-principal residence.

•

Be a farm, ranch, etc.

•

Have a code violation (building codes, safety codes, etc.).

•

Be on rented property.

Stucco Homes

If your home contains stucco, a certified inspector will be hired at Motorola Mobility's expense to conduct an inspection to determine if it is natural or synthetic stucco.

Homes containing natural stucco will be eligible for the marketing assistance, guaranteed buyout, and the amended sale program.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

Homes containing synthetic stucco will be eligible for marketing assistance and closing services. Closing services includes payment for eligible closing costs associated with the sale of your home. These homes will not be eligible for the guaranteed buyout and amended sale program, and will fall under the category of non-eligible homes.

Every effort will be made to assist you in securing a buyer for your home. Your participation is required in the marketing assistance program including following the recommended guidelines. This may allow eligibility for additional duplicate mortgage payments and an 80% equity advance.

For further information regarding the eligibility of your home, please contact your GAC Consultant.

Home Marketing Assistance

Motorola Mobility has partnered with a Relocation Management Company to assist with the sale of your home. This company administers a Home Marketing Assistance Program that has been designed to provide expert assistance in the sale of your home. A counselor from the Relocation Management Company will assist you with broker selection, suggested listing price, marketing plans, listing agreements, and sale negotiations. This counselor will work as your advocate throughout the sale of your home.

Getting Started

Your GAC Consultant will initiate you into the Home Marketing Assistance Program. To ensure you receive full relocation benefits, you must not:

1.	List your home with a family member, even if the family member is a licensed real estate broker.

2.	Discuss or list your former home with any realtor prior to discussing the procedures and timing with the GAC Domestic Relocation department.

3.	Discuss or purchase property in the new location prior to discussing the procedures and timing with the GAC Domestic Relocation department.

4.	Discuss or purchase property in the new location until you have received an estimate of value for your property in the old location.

After discussing the program with you, the Relocation Management Company will refer you to at least two (2) trained relocation real estate agents. All realtors in our program are prequalified according to measurement standards developed by the GAC Domestic Relocation department and the Relocation Management Company. Since these agents are trained and experienced in the area of relocation, it is in your best interest to work with them. In utilizing a preferred realtor, you are assured of a top agent dedicated to assisting relocating employees.

Agent Selection

The two recommended real estate agents will each prepare a Market Analysis and a Marketing Strategy for your home. The Relocation Management Company will review these reports for thoroughness and clarity and discuss them with you to devise a marketing plan for your home.

The Market Analysis will contain information on how your home compares with other properties currently listed, as well as those recently sold. A very thorough analysis will also include information on other factors, such as new businesses moving into the area, changing market

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

conditions, or a new subdivision that directly competes with your home. Each analysis will also contain the agent's opinion of the most probable list & sale's price for your home. If the two agents' sales price opinions vary by more than five (5) percent, a third opinion will be ordered. The two closest opinions will be used for the marketing and listing strategies.

The Marketing Strategy describes the agent's recommendations for notifying prospective buyers that your house is for sale. The strategy should include exactly how the home will be advertised, whether or not there will be open houses, how other brokers in the area will be contacted, etc. It is to your advantage to take an active part in developing the Marketing Strategy for your home. Your own knowledge of the area will be helpful in this regard. The Marketing Strategy will be updated and discussed with you on a regular basis throughout the marketing period.

After you and the Relocation Management Company have thoroughly reviewed both agents' Marketing Analyses and Marketing Strategies, you may select one of these agents to list your home.

Listing Your Home

Utilizing the information obtained in the two market analyses, you can now establish your list price. Your list price must be within the range of the recommended list prices of the two agents. This will allow eligibility for the required 90 day listing period, guaranteed buyout, duplicate mortgage payments and equity advance program.

While your home is on the market, the Relocation Management Company will review the list price and marketing strategy with you and your agent. This review will occur at least every ten days to determine if a change in strategy or list price is necessary.

Listing Agreement Clause

It is essential to this program that specific language is inserted into your listing agreement in order to comply with IRS guidelines and accounting procedures. While the Relocation Management Company will work with the listing agent to make sure this language is present in the listing agreement (and not just attached), you should be familiar with this clause:

It is understood and agreed, regardless of whether or not an offer is presented by a ready, willing, and able buyer that:

1)	No commission or compensation shall be earned by or be due and payable to broker until the sale of the property has been consummated between seller and buyer, the deed delivered to the buyer, and the purchase price delivered to the seller; and

The sellers reserve the right to sell the property to (Relocation Management Company), or to its designated nominee (individually and collectively a "Named Prospective Purchaser") at any time. Upon the execution by a Named Prospective Purchaser and me (us) of an Agreement of Sale with respect to the property, this Listing Agreement shall immediately terminate without obligation on my (our) part or on the part of any Named Prospective Purchaser to either pay a commission or to continue this listing.

3)	It is agreed that this listing may be terminated by the seller at any time without cost or obligation to the seller if the seller is dissatisfied with the performance of the broker or agent.

The above Exclusion Clause should be included in your listing agreement with your Realtor. This clause preserves your right to accept the Guaranteed Offer without obligation to pay a broker's commission. This does not, however, prevent your broker from receiving a commission for bringing about a sale to a bona fide buyer which subsequently closes.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

If you have questions concerning this clause or the listing/sale process in general, please be sure to discuss these with your GAC Consultant and/or the Relocation Management Company.

Receiving Offers and Negotiating a Sale

Your listing agent will present each offer as it is received, so that you and the Relocation Management Company can review it. If an offer is tendered directly to you, you should immediately refer them to your agent. Please do not accept a deposit; sign the contract of sale; or accept an offer, either orally or in writing; since this may invalidate your home sale benefits.

The Relocation Management Company will evaluate the buyer's offer and the buyer's qualifications. In addition, they, along with your listing agent, will assist you in the negotiating process. This professional negotiating assistance can help maximize the sales price and reduce your concerns during the sale process. The Relocation Management Company will also ensure the purchase agreement does not contain any unusual terms, conditions, or contingencies such as the buyer selling his or her current home. They will also guide you on any inspections required to sell your home.

Amended Sale Process

When you have successfully negotiated the sale of your home, the Relocation Management Company will utilize what is known as an Amended Sale to complete the sale. This Amended Sale process will allow you to sell your home to the Relocation Management Company, who will in turn sell it to your buyer. Managing the closing of your home will become the responsibility of the Relocation Management Company.

The Internal Revenue Service has outlined eleven steps that you and your agent must follow during the Amended Sale process. These steps are described below. If, after reviewing this information, you have questions about this process, please contact your GAC Consultant or the Relocation Management Company.

Revised 02-16-11

Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer

The best opportunity to sell your home at the highest possible price is through the Marketing Assistance Program. The Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer should be used as a final option in selling your home.

In the event your home remains unsold after a 90-day marketing period at the recommended list price, and provided you have followed the home marketing program guidelines, Motorola Mobility, through the Relocation Management Company, will offer to purchase your home, according to the guidelines described in the following paragraphs.

Establishing the Value

The Relocation Management Company will provide you with a list of qualified relocation appraisers. You will be asked to choose two appraisers from this list to appraise your home. If the appraisals are within five (5) percent of each other, the average of these two figures will determine the amount of your Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer. If the appraisals differ by more than five (5) percent, a third appraisal will be ordered, and the two closest appraisals will be averaged to determine the amount of your Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer. If three (3) appraisals are equi-distance the average of all three (3) appraisals will be used. These appraisals are based on current market conditions in effect approximately one month after the listing date, and may reflect a lower value than the brokers' sales opinions. Please keep this in mind if purchasing a home in the new location prior to selling your former residence.

When the Relocation Management Company has received the written appraisals and inspection reports, they will be reviewed for accuracy and thoroughness. You may request a copy of the appraisals and all reports from the Relocation Management Company.

Only appraisals ordered and reviewed by the Relocation Management Company will be used to determine the guaranteed buyout value. Motorola Mobility will not pay for or consider any other appraisals. It is recommended that you provide information to the appraisers on any items you believe may assist the appraisal process. For instance, recent comparable sales, improvements to your home, etc. Each appraiser will establish their independent value of your home.

Inspections

Any inspections, which are necessary to sell your home to the Relocation Management Company, will be ordered at the same time as the appraisals. If the inspections reveal needed repairs, the cost of these repairs will be your responsibility. The Relocation Management Company can assist you in arranging and re-inspecting any necessary repair work.

Accepting the Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer

Once the Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer has been presented to you, you will not be eligible to accept it until the 90^th day of marketing. When deciding to accept the offer, notify the Relocation Management Company of your decision. They will guide you through the contract signing process. Your signed and notarized contract should be returned to the Relocation Management Company on or before the end of the 90^th day. Upon acceptance of the offer, you will have 30 days to vacate your home.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

Rejecting the Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer

In the event you elect not to accept the Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer, you will forfeit all relocation benefits/reimbursements pertaining to the sale of your former home, (e.g., real estate commission, closing costs, legal fees, duplicate house payments, etc.) If you received an equity advance it must be repaid immediately.

Your personal situation should be discussed with the GAC Domestic Relocation department prior to selecting this option.

D. HOME PURCHASE ASSISTANCE

Purchasing a new home is an important decision. Motorola Mobility's relocation program provides assistance to all transferring homeowners who wish to purchase a home in the new location. After the marketing of your former home is under way, the GAC Domestic Relocation department and the Relocation Management Company will assist you in managing the process of finding a new home.

Home Finding Program

The Relocation Management Company will work with you and your family to establish your criteria for finding a home in the new location. The type of community you are interested in, school choices, and commuting time are some of the things discussed prior to beginning your search for a new home. This should help you and your family focus on appropriate areas in your new location and reduce the amount of time you must spend on finding a new home that meets your needs.

Home Finding Agent

The Relocation Management Company with input from Motorola Mobility has pre-screened and identified the top agents in your new location. After reviewing your individual needs, the Relocation Management Company will select a real estate agent(s) who will suggest several possible community choices and help select an area which best suits you and your family's needs. You may then work with the Relocation Management Company and your agent to develop a custom home finding itinerary to maximize the time spent on your home finding trip. It is strongly recommended you work with the assigned agents to ensure full home purchase benefits.

Motorola Mobility recognizes working with an agent to purchase a new home is a very important and personal choice. If, for any reason, you are not comfortable with the agent to whom you have been referred, please contact the Relocation Management Company immediately and a new agent will be selected.

Home Finding Trip

To assist you in planning your home finding trip, the recommended Motorola Mobility Travel Partner will contact you to coordinate travel and hotel arrangements. Please remember to plan your trip carefully as there is a charge for changed travel plans by our travel department. If traveling by air, we recommend you plan your trip dates as far in advance as possible and include a Saturday night stay to help control costs.

Prior to making this trip, you should:

•

Have the Relocation Management Company determine the market value of your former home.

•

Be pre-qualified for a mortgage.

•

Be referred to one of our preferred realtors.

Your home purchase assistance benefits include a home-finding trip of up to five (5) days / four (4) nights for you and your relocating family. The following documented reasonable expenses are reimbursable: round-trip transportation via the most direct route, lodging, meals, childcare, pet care, and car rental. Please be sure to keep all receipts, including those for meals, to ensure reimbursement.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

Mortgage Program

In order to assist you in obtaining a new mortgage, Motorola Mobility has contracted with a number of lenders who specialize in relocation. You may also use the Motorola Mobility Employees Credit Union to secure a mortgage.

The mortgage lenders will contact you directly and provide information about the types of mortgages available, interest rates, qualifying requirements, and other essential mortgage program elements. They will assist you in determining which mortgage product best suits your individual needs. You may select whichever of these lenders you prefer.

Following are some advantages of using one of the designated mortgage lenders:

•

Quick Approval Process - You can be qualified for a mortgage prior to your home finding trip. This will strengthen your purchase offer in the new location.

•

Direct Billing of Closing Costs to Motorola Mobility - Covered closing costs will be billed directly to Motorola Mobility, reducing your out of pocket expenses.

•

Maximum Coverage of Closing Costs – Closing costs of our preferred lenders are covered. Should you choose to utilize a lender outside of the preferred provider list, please note that some charges may not be covered. Lenders outside of the designated list may charge unnecessary fees. These costs will not be covered by Motorola Mobility and would become your personal responsibility. Only the items that are covered by our preferred partners will be reimbursed. Please ask your GAC Consultant for this list if needed. Motorola Mobility does not allow direct billing for non-preferred lenders.

•

Preferred Rates - Lenders categorize relocating employees as a lower mortgage risk. This may enable you to receive a more competitive interest rate.

•

Minimum Documentation - Your mortgage will be processed with a minimum amount of paperwork. This should make the mortgage process quicker, more convenient, and improve overall cycle time.

Please remember that we have made arrangements with these lenders to assist you in the mortgage process. We encourage you to talk to the designated lenders before making any arrangements on your own.

You are free to choose a lender other than one of the designated lenders. However, if you elect to use a lender other than those designated by Motorola Mobility, you will need to pay your home purchase costs first and submit documentation to your designated expense tracking company for reimbursement. Only reasonable and customary home purchase expenses as outlined below will be reimbursed. You may wish to discuss this option with the GAC Domestic Relocation department prior to choosing an outside lender.

Covered Expenses

You are eligible for home purchase benefits for up to one (1) year after the start date of your new position and/or assignment. Reimbursable expenses include:

•

Legal fees for a real estate attorney to review your contract and represent you at closing, property survey costs, appraisal and lender required inspection fees, credit report costs, lender's portion of title insurance*, and similar closing costs required by a lending agency and representing payments for services rendered

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

•

Charges by the lending agency, variously called "loan origination fees" or "points," but not including pre-paid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), up to one (1) percent of the new mortgage amount

•

Costs of recording the deed or mortgage

•

Any charges or stamps levied by a government authority in connection with obtaining the loan or transferring title

In the event that you are building new construction, the policy benefits will only apply to one closing.

*The homeowner portion of title insurance is not reimbursable. The miscellaneous allowance can be used for this expense.

Non-Covered Expenses

Certain costs incurred as a normal part of home ownership are not eligible for reimbursement. These include prepayment of taxes, insurance, PMI and additional points you choose to incur as a result of lowering the interest rate below that quoted by the lender. Inspections not required by the lender (home inspection, etc.) will not be covered through the home purchase program. If you are unsure which mortgage costs are covered, please contact your GAC Consultant.

Equity Advance

If it is necessary for you to close on a new home prior to selling your former home, up to 90 percent of the equity in your former home may be available for an advance. A copy of your new home purchase contract is required for this advance. The calculation of the amount of your equity will be based upon the appraised value of your home less all outstanding mortgages and liens against your home. If you require an equity advance prior to the calculation of the appraised value, up to 80 percent of the available equity may be provided. The calculation used to determine this equity will be based on the lower of the two broker opinions less all outstanding mortgages and liens against your home. The Relocation Management Company administers the equity advance program and can assist you in applying for an advance if one is needed. Motorola Mobility covers all interest charges on this equity advance.

Duplicate Mortgage Payments

If you are authorized to purchase and close on a new home prior to selling your former home, Motorola Mobility will reimburse for duplicate mortgage payments. Expenses for your former home, including mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, utilities, and reasonable routine maintenance are covered. Principal is excluded since it is recovered as equity when you close on your home.

The Relocation Expense Company will administer duplicate mortgage payments. Payments will begin when you incur a mortgage expense in the new location. The duplicate mortgage payments will terminate with the sale of your home or at the end of your 90-day marketing period, whichever comes first. The maximum payment period allowed is 90 days, which coincides with the maximum time your home may be in the Home Marketing Assistance Program.

Note: If you decide not to accept the Guaranteed Buy-Out Offer, no further duplicate mortgage payments will be made.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

Second Mortgages/Home Equity Loans

If you have a second mortgage or home equity loan on your former residence, Motorola Mobility will cover the payment under the Duplicate House Payments Program if the funds were used for capital improvements to your principal residence. Examples of capital improvements include a room addition, swimming pool, new roof, remodeling of a kitchen or bathroom, etc. Appropriate documentation of the capital improvements must be submitted to your GAC Consultant in order for the payment to be made. If you are unsure of the eligibility of your second mortgage, please contact your GAC Consultant.

E. SHIPMENT OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS

To help you in moving your household goods to the new location, Motorola Mobility has arranged for professional assistance through national van lines specializing in employee relocations. Your GAC Consultant will work with you to manage the process of arranging and paying for the shipment of your household goods.

The following items are covered:

•

The cost of packing, shipping, unpacking, and placement of furniture

•

The cost of disconnecting and reconnecting major appliances, e.g., washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.

•

Storage of household goods for up to 30 days, should you be unable to occupy your new home due to circumstances beyond your control

Luxury items, such as boats or recreation vehicles, will not be covered under this policy. If you are not certain whether an item fits into the category of "luxury item," please contact your GAC Consultant.

Car Shipment

If necessary, Motorola Mobility will arrange for the shipment of up to two (2) cars, provided the cars are operable (running), and the distance to your new location is at least 400 miles. Usually shipment of your cars should coincide with the shipment of your household goods. If you chose to ship two cars to the new location, only one rental car will be provided until your car arrives at the new location. Once your car is available in the new location no further car rental assistance will be provided. Other cars should be driven to the new location by you or a family member and will be reimbursed according to the guidelines in Section F: Final Move to New Location (page 19).

Shipment of Pets

Expenses for moving your household pets, up to $200.00 per pet, $400.00 maximum, are covered. Exotic animals, farm animals, and horses are not covered. Please contact your GAC Consultant should you need clarification or assistance regarding pet shipment. Additional pet expenses should be covered through your Miscellaneous Relocation Allowance, see Section I: Miscellaneous Relocation Allowance (page 22).

Insuring Your Shipment

Motorola Mobility insures the shipment of your household goods except as noted on the following page. It is unnecessary to purchase transit insurance from the mover or outside insurance companies, although the mover should be made aware of high-value items such as antiques and artwork. Please keep sales receipts or certified appraisals to assist in the claims process should art objects, antiques, or collections be damaged during transit. If, during the move, damage occurs to an item that is part of a matched set, you will be reimbursed for the cost to repair or replace only the damaged item, not the entire set, (e.g., dinnerware, vases, chairs, etc.). Articles affected by atmospheric conditions are not covered under this insurance.

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

Please carry all confidential, irreplaceable personal papers, photographs and Motorola Mobility documents with you.

Non-Eligible

There are certain articles that cannot be shipped and insured by Motorola Mobility. These articles include hazardous items, boats, recreational vehicles, jewelry, firearms, alcoholic beverages, money (including coin collections), deeds or other valuable papers, stamp collections, precious stones, etc. We suggest you move these items personally. If you are unable to do so, they can be insured and sent via registered mail at your expense. Motorola Mobility and the van line will not assume liability if these items are sent with the moving company.

En Route Expenses

You will be reimbursed for meals, mileage, tolls, etc., while traveling by the most direct route to your new home. If traveling by automobile and your new destination is more than 350 miles away, one (1) night's lodging will also be reimbursed. If the new location is over 700 miles away, one (1) night's lodging will be reimbursed for every 350 miles driven.

Expenses incurred in traveling to the new location via an indirect route in order to visit friends or family or to vacation, are not reimbursable.

Lodging expenses in the new location are reimbursed for 30 days if you and your family are unable to immediately move into your residence due to circumstances beyond your control. Expenses for meals are not reimbursable while in corporate housing.

If you must report to your new assignment while your relocating partner remains behind, you are eligible for 30 days temporary living benefits as follows: lodging and reasonable meal expenses will be reimbursed at the new location for the relocating employee. Meals at the old location will not be covered, even if family members remain behind. This assistance is intended to eliminate the need to set up and maintain two households, including lodging, meals, etc. and will be provided only if the family is separated between the old and new locations.

Temporary living expenses will not be covered if you choose to delay occupancy of your home for remodeling, painting, etc.

Due to IRS regulations governing deductibility of expenses, payments to individuals such as friends or relatives are not permitted in lieu of hotel or meal expenses.

It should be signed by you, accompanied by all receipts, and sent to the Relocation Expense Management Company at the address included with your initiation letter.

K. TAX INFORMATION

The federal tax laws are the guidelines that govern the treatment of relocation expenses. Current regulations require that relocation expenses reimbursed to you or paid on your behalf be included in your gross income and be subject to income taxes. There is currently an exception for the shipment of household goods and travel to the new location for your final move. These expenses are excluded from gross income and are not subject to income taxes.

Tax Gross-Up

As described above, relocation reimbursements or payments increase your taxable income and increase your taxes. The increase in taxes can be alleviated to some extent by paying an additional amount to help with the tax liability. This is referred to as gross-up. A larger gross amount will be paid on your behalf so the net benefit after taxes will approximate your expenses. Motorola Mobility policy includes a gross-up to cover Federal, State and the Medicare portion of FICA taxes. The Social Security portion of the FICA tax is not grossed-up.

The gross-up payment itself is also considered income so it is subject to income tax and is also grossed up.

FICA Tax Impact

Since Motorola Mobility policy does not cover the Social Security portion of the FICA tax, this may affect your reimbursement. Unless your year-to-date payroll has already met the salary level at which Social Security is no longer deducted, Social Security taxes will be withheld from the reimbursement of your taxable relocation expenses. When relocation expenses are paid directly to a service supplier on your behalf or are reimbursed (e.g., temporary living and closing costs) you are responsible for Social Security taxes on these expenses. Payroll updates your earnings to reflect the relocation income for these expenses, and deducts the associated Social Security taxes from the next paycheck. These updates are done on a monthly basis by Motorola Mobility's Payroll department.

Tax Policy

Reimbursements and payments made on your behalf for relocation expenses are generally considered taxable income. Current tax law excludes the following expenses from your income:

1.	Moving household goods and personal effects from your former residence to your new residence

2.	Travel and lodging during the final move from your former to your new residence

3.	Storage of household goods for up to thirty (30) days following your final move

4.	Selling costs on the sale of your former residence when the Eleven-step Amended Sale Program is followed or when a Guaranteed Buy-Out offer is accepted

Gross-up Policy

Motorola Mobility policy provides a tax gross-up to cover the additional tax liability on relocation expenses that are considered taxable income. The following items are exceptions:

1.	Miscellaneous relocation allowance

Revised 02-16-11


Motorola Mobility Domestic Relocation		GAC Domestic Relocation Policy: Homeowners

2.	Home purchase points - may be taken as an itemized deduction on your tax return

3.	Duplicate house payment interest and taxes - may be taken as itemized deductions on your tax return

Tax Forms

Motorola Mobility's Payroll department will provide you with the following tax form:

W-2 Wage and Tax Statement - The W-2 includes all taxable reimbursements and payments made on your behalf.

The expense tracking company will provide:

A Relocation Tax Report – This includes a list of itemized relocation expenses, gross-up and appropriate tax forms.

Tax Assistance

The GAC Domestic Relocation department will provide general guidelines on tax and gross-up policies related to relocation. However, it is your responsibility to seek independent tax advice and/or counsel as deemed necessary.
