VOTING SECURITIES; PROXIES; REQUIRED VOTE

Voting Securities — The Board of Directors fixed the close of business on March 26, 2009, as the Record Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. As of the March 26, 2009 Record Date, the Company had outstanding 59,348,525 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”). Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.

Proxies — The Board of Directors of the Company selected Anders Gustafsson and Noel Elfant to serve as proxies for the Annual Meeting. Mr. Gustafsson is a director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Elfant is Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Most stockholders have a choice of voting over the Internet, by using a toll-free telephone number or by completing a proxy card and mailing it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please check your proxy card or the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to see which options are available to you. Please be aware that if you vote over the Internet, you may incur costs such as telecommunication and Internet access charges for which you will be responsible. The Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 20, 2009. The Internet and telephone voting procedures have been designed to authenticate stockholders by use of a control number and to allow you to vote your shares and to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. Each executed and returned proxy card will be voted in accordance with the directions indicated thereon, or if no direction is indicated, such proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors contained in this Proxy Statement. Each stockholder giving a proxy (by executing the proxy card, over the Internet or by telephone) has the power to revoke it at any time before the shares it represents are voted. Revocation of a proxy is effective upon receipt by the Secretary of the Company of either (1) an instrument revoking the proxy or (2) a proxy bearing a later date or time (which can be done by mail, over the Internet or by telephone until those facilities have closed). Additionally, a stockholder may change or revoke a previous proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

-1-

Required Vote — At the Annual Meeting, (1) a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy is required to elect directors; and (2) the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively, in person or by proxy, is required to approve Proposal 2, ratification of the appointment of independent auditors. Stockholders are not allowed to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting will be a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum. In counting votes on the election of directors for which a plurality of votes cast is required, only votes “for” or “withheld” will be considered. Broker non-votes and other shares not voted will be treated as not voted in the election of directors. In counting votes on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP and on any other matter voted upon, a majority of votes is required, and broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as voted.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors presently consists of seven directors, five of whom are independent under The NASDAQ Stock Market listing requirements, and two of whom are currently executive officers of the Company. Each of the nominees for election as director currently serves as a director of the Company.

If at the time of the Annual Meeting any of the nominees is unable or declines to serve, the persons named in the proxy will, at the direction of the Board of Directors, either vote for the substitute nominee or nominees that the Board of Directors recommends or vote to allow the vacancy created thereby to remain open until filled by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or will decline to serve as a director if elected.

Nominees for Election as Directors — The Company has a Board of Directors that is divided into three separate classes, with one class being elected each year to serve a staggered three-year term. The terms of the Class I Directors expire at this Annual Meeting, and three directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve as Class I Directors for a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting in 2012 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. For the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors has proposed the following nominees for election based on a recommendation by the Nominating Committee: Richard L. Keyser, Ross W.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board and Committee Meetings in 2008 — The Board of Directors (the “Board”) met six times during 2008. Each director attended at least 96% of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings of the Board committees on which he served during 2008. As a general matter, Board members are expected to attend the Company’s annual meetings. Three directors attended last year’s annual meeting.

Board of Directors Committees — The Board of Directors has three standing committees composed entirely of independent directors, namely, the Nominating, Compensation and Audit Committees, as described below. Charters for these Committees and the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the investor page of Zebra’s website at www.zebra.com. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address the Board’s composition, qualifications and functions, director education, minimum required stock ownership by directors, and management succession. Please note that the information on the Zebra website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Keyser, Ludwick, Manire, Potter and Smith is a non-employee director who meets the applicable independence requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (“NASDAQ independence requirements”). The table below shows the current membership of each of the Board’s standing committees:

Independent Director	Nominating	Compensation	Audit
Keyser		Member
Ludwick			Member
Manire	Member		Member
Potter		Chair
Smith	Chair	Member	Chair

After each Board meeting, the Company’s independent directors have a regularly scheduled meeting at which only independent directors are present. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Smith, serves as the lead director in these executive sessions.

Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is comprised of Messrs. Smith, Chair, and Manire. In accordance with the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, the Nominating Committee determines nominees for election to the Board of Directors. This Committee met seven times in 2008.

The Nominating Committee believes that candidates for Board membership must exhibit certain minimum characteristics: good business judgment and an even temperament, high ethical standards, and a healthy view of the relative responsibilities of a board member and management. Board members shall be independent thinkers, articulate and intelligent. The Nominating Committee’s Charter sets forth additional criteria that the Committee considers important, including experience as a board member of another publicly traded company, experience in industries or with technologies relevant to the Company, accounting or financial reporting experience, or such other professional experience as the Committee shall determine shall qualify an individual for Board service.

In selecting candidates and approving nominees for open Board positions, the Nominating Committee will make every effort to ensure that the Board and its committees include at least the minimum number of independent directors, as that term is defined and as may be required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and applicable standards promulgated by The NASDAQ Stock Market or the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and any other applicable requirements.

In addition, the Nominating Committee shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that at least one director is a financial expert, as that term is defined by Sarbanes-Oxley and applicable standards promulgated by The NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC.

The Company’s policy is not to discriminate on the basis of race, gender or ethnicity. The Nominating Committee is supportive of any qualified candidate who would also provide the Board with more diversity.

-5-

The Nominating Committee will consider candidates for the Board from any reasonable source, including stockholder recommendations. The Nominating Committee does not evaluate proposed candidates differently based on the source of the proposal. Stockholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates should provide notice of such recommended candidate to the Secretary of Zebra, at Zebra’s headquarters address. These recommendations should include detailed biographical information concerning the nominee, the nominee’s qualifications to become a member of the Board, and a description of any relationship the nominee has to the stockholder making the recommendation or to other stockholders of the Company. A written statement from the candidate consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director, subject to the candidate’s due diligence of Zebra, should accompany any such recommendation. In addition, the notice of recommendation should disclose specific information about the stockholder making the recommendation, including Company securities owned by the stockholder (including options, warrants and other derivative securities) and the stockholder’s voting rights with respect to Company securities, short positions with respect to Company securities, rights to dividends on Company shares that are separated or separable from the underlying shares and other interests in or based on Company securities. Stockholders who wish to nominate a director for election at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company must comply with the Company’s By-Laws regarding stockholder proposals and nominations.

The Nominating Committee has the authority under its charter to hire and pay a fee to consultants or search firms to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates. The Board appointed Mr. Keyser as a director in June 2008. In connection with its appointment of Mr. Keyser to the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee followed the above-described process and engaged a recognized third-party search firm to identify for consideration potential candidates based on the minimum characteristics and criteria set forth above. Mr. Keyser was first identified to the Nominating Committee by this search firm.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Dr. Potter, Chair, and Messrs. Keyser and Smith. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee also administers the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan and its predecessor, the 1997 Stock Option Plan, and determines the timing, terms and number of awards granted pursuant to the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan and its predecessor. The Committee may retain independent consultants or other third parties and may seek the input of members of the Company’s management. This Committee met twelve times in 2008. Although it may delegate its authority to any subcommittee and management to the extent permitted under applicable laws and rules, when the Committee deems appropriate, it has not done so except to grant to the CEO the right to award stock options to Company non-executive officer employees in limited circumstances.

In 2008, the Compensation Committee retained The Delves Group as its independent executive compensation consultant to provide competitive compensation data, analysis and guidance throughout the process of determining compensation for the Company’s Named Officers (as defined below). The role of The Delves Group in determining executive compensation is further described below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is comprised of Messrs. Smith, Chair, Ludwick and Manire. These three directors are independent in accordance with NASDAQ independence requirements, including the additional independence requirements applicable to Audit Committee members. This Committee met five times during 2008. The Board determined that Mr. Manire is an audit committee financial expert.

Contacting the Board of Directors — Any stockholder who would like to contact members of the Board of Directors may do so by writing to the Office of the Secretary, Zebra Technologies Corporation, 475 Half Day Road, Suite 500, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069. Communications received in writing will be distributed to the Chairman or the other members of the Board, as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Cash Fees. For 2008, the Company paid each of its independent directors an annual retainer, which was paid on a quarterly basis. Other than for the independent director that served as Chairman of the Board, the retainer for each independent director was $6,250 per quarter. The Company also pays its non-Chairman independent directors the following fees: $1,500 for each Board meeting; $1,000 for each Committee meeting that occurred on the day of a Board meeting; and $1,500 for each Committee meeting that did not occur on the day of a Board meeting. The Chair of the Compensation Committee received an additional $500 per Committee meeting. Mr. Smith, Chairman of the Board, is paid $30,000 per quarter and he receives $1,500 for attending, and $500 for chairing, each Audit Committee meeting. The meeting fees described above were paid for meetings attended in person or by telephone.

Equity Awards. On May 22, 2008, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a non-qualified stock option to each of the Company’s non-employee directors that were directors of the Company prior to the 2008 Annual Meeting and continued to serve as directors after the Annual Meeting (i.e., Messrs. Manire, Potter and Smith). Each such stock option has a ten-year term, has an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant, May 22, 2008, is exercisable for 2,000 shares of Common Stock and vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service as a director on such vesting date.

Mr. Ludwick was elected as a new director by the Company’s stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting. In connection with his election, the Compensation Committee approved grants of two non-qualified stock options (the “Ludwick Options”) to Mr. Ludwick. Each of the Ludwick Options has a ten-year term and has an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant, May 22, 2008. The first Ludwick Option is exercisable for 18,000 shares of Common Stock and vests in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Ludwick’s continued service as a director on each such vesting date. The second Ludwick Option is exercisable for 6,000 shares of Common Stock and vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Ludwick’s continued service as a director on such vesting date.

Effective June 16, 2008, the Board appointed Mr. Keyser as a new director of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board approved the grant of a non-qualified stock option (the “Keyser Option”) to Mr. Keyser in connection with his appointment. The Keyser Option has a ten-year term and has an exercise price equal to the closing price of Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, June 16, 2008. The Keyser Option is exercisable for 18,000 shares of the Common Stock and vests in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Keyser’s continued service as a director on each such vesting date.

Retiring Directors. Messrs. Kaplan and Knowles retired as directors effective at the 2008 Annual Meeting.

In recognition of Mr. Knowles’ many years of service as a director of the Company, on May 22, 2008, the Compensation Committee amended the terms of Mr. Knowles’ outstanding unexercised stock options. As of that date, Mr. Knowles held an unexercised stock option granted to him on February 8, 2002 (the “2002 Option”) to purchase 27,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and another unexercised stock option granted to him on February 8, 2006 (the “2006 Option”) to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock (the 2002 Option and the 2006 Option are collectively referred to herein as the “Knowles Options”). The amendment accelerated the vesting of the unvested portion of the 2006 Option, so that the 2006 Option became fully exercisable as of May 22, 2008. Prior to the amendment, the 2002 Option was already fully exercisable and the 2006 Option was exercisable with respect to 8,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2006 Option would have become exercisable with respect to an additional 4,000 shares of Common Stock on each of February 8, 2009, February 8, 2010 and February 8, 2011. In addition, the amendment extended the exercise period of the 2002 Option until February 8, 2012, and the exercise period of the 2006 Option until February 8, 2016, the latest respective dates on which the Knowles Options would have expired under their respective original terms if Mr. Knowles had continued as a director of the Company until such dates. Prior to the amendment, the Knowles Options’ exercise periods would have been shortened if Mr. Knowles did not continue as a director of the Company.

Mr. Kaplan, the Company’s co-founder, served the Company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until his retirement from those positions on September 4, 2007. Mr. Kaplan and the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Kaplan Consulting Agreement”) regarding his engagement as a consultant effective upon his retirement. Under the Kaplan Consulting Agreement, Mr. Kaplan provides consulting services to the Company until the earliest of (i) May 31, 2009, (ii) a “change in control,” or (iii) the hiring of a chief executive officer subsequent to Mr. Gustafsson. The Board believes it is important to retain Mr. Kaplan as a consultant to assist the Company in providing an effective transition of the CEO responsibilities and to serve as a resource to the Company’s management. As the co-founder of the Company and an active member of management for more than 38 years, the Board considers his continued involvement and availability to be valuable to the Company.

-7-

Under the Kaplan Consulting Agreement, Mr. Kaplan did not receive any fees for his continued service as a director, but the Company agreed to pay Mr. Kaplan for his consulting services as follows: $150,000 on each of September 4, 2007, December 1, 2007 and March 1, 2008; $112,500 on each of June 1, 2008, September 1, 2008, December 1, 2008 and March 1, 2009; $87,500 on each of June 1, 2009, September 1, 2009, December 1, 2009 and March 1, 2010; and $62,500 on each of June 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, December 1, 2010 and March 1, 2011. Any such payments that have not yet been paid upon the occurrence of a “change in control” will be accelerated and paid at that time. In addition, the Kaplan Consulting Agreement provided that while Mr. Kaplan was a director, he and his spouse would continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s group health insurance plan and the Company will pay the premium costs of such participation. The Company will also provide Mr. Kaplan with office space and administrative support while he performs services for the Company at the Company’s location, as well as limited computer support.

The Kaplan Consulting Agreement amended the terms of the outstanding option granted to Mr. Kaplan on March 23, 2005, to purchase 219,203 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “2005 Option”). The amendment accelerated, as of September 4, 2007, the vesting of the unvested portion of the 2005 Option, so that the 2005 Option became fully exercisable on that date and extended the exercise period of the 2005 Option until March 22, 2015, which is the latest date on which the 2005 Option would have expired under its original terms if Mr. Kaplan continued as an employee, director or consultant of the Company until that date. Prior to the amendment, the 2005 Option’s exercise period would have been shortened relative to any time Mr. Kaplan did not continue as an employee, director or consultant of the Company. The Kaplan Consulting Agreement also provides that Mr. Kaplan will continue to be restricted by the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions in the award agreement with respect to the 2005 Option.

The term “change in control” with respect to the vesting of the Kaplan Consulting Agreement is defined in the Glossary.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee is comprised of three directors: Dr. Potter, Chair, and Messrs. Keyser and Smith, each of whom is independent under current listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Compensation Committee establishes compensation policies and programs for the Company’s executive officers. It operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” (“CD&A”) set forth below and based on its review and discussion with management has recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Compensation Committee

Michael A. Smith

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company's compensation program for all employees is designed to attract the best people, keep them engaged and motivated, and provide incentives to encourage them to achieve results that create stockholder value. In light of the current uncertain economic conditions, the Company’s management has taken a number of cost-savings actions to reduce payroll expenses in 2009. It has implemented a salary freeze for all salaried employees, including the Company’s executive officers, and reduced certain employee benefits, including reducing Company matching of 401(k) contributions and eliminating 2009 profit-sharing contributions.

-14-

Committee Role

The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation of the Named Officers.

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) described above in the “Compensation Committee Report” establishes the Company’s compensation philosophy for all compensation (including equity compensation), the Company’s compensation programs and the compensation for each executive officer, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the other “Named Officers.” The Named Officers for this Proxy Statement are the Company’s:

	(1)		Principal executive officer during 2008: Anders Gustafsson;

	(2)		Principal financial officers during 2008: Michael C. Smiley, who serves as the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and has done so since May 1, 2008, and Charles R. Whitchurch, who served as CFO until May 1, 2008;

	(3)		Three other most highly compensated executive officers (calculated in accordance with applicable SEC rules) serving at the end of 2008: Philip Gerskovich, Hugh K. Gagnier and Michael H. Terzich; and

	(4)		One other most highly compensated former executive officer who would have been a Named Officer if he was serving as an executive officer at the end of 2008: John M. Dillon.

Compensation Philosophy

The Company’s compensation programs are designed to reward executive officers for achieving individual, business unit and/or corporate performance goals. In February 2008, the Committee formalized its compensation philosophy by adopting a Compensation, Benefits and Performance Management Philosophy (the “Compensation Philosophy”). The Committee annually reviews and, if it determines appropriate, modifies the Compensation Philosophy.

The Compensation Philosophy, which applies to all employees of the Company, including the Named Officers, is summarized as follows:

Importance of Compensation. The Company’s compensation of its employees supports the alignment of the Company’s business strategy with enhanced stockholder value. The objectives of the Company’s compensation, benefits, and performance management programs are to:

Increase stockholder value through stock price growth and other financial measures,
Encourage employee actions that balance short-term achievements with long-term success,
Motivate behavior to attain the Company’s objectives, and
Attract, retain, and reward high performing employees who contribute to the Company’s success.

Competitive Compensation and Benefits. The Company aligns its compensation and benefits programs with those of publicly-traded companies of similar size in the technology industry. Competitive information may be supplemented by data from surveys of general industry practices for similar size firms.

Compensation Mix. Certain compensation objectives are achieved through a pay-for-performance approach, including base salary, annual incentives, and long-term equity-based compensation targeted at the median of the market when target performance objectives are achieved, and targeted at superior pay when superior performance objectives are achieved. Actual pay will vary based upon the attainment of financial and individual performance objectives and experience levels.

-15-

Compensation Components

Consistent with prior years and the Compensation Philosophy, the three principal components of the Company’s compensation program for executive officers for 2008 consisted of base salaries, annual cash incentive awards based on the achievement of financial performance measures, and long-term equity-based incentive awards.

Each component of compensation serves a particular purpose, as described in the Compensation Philosophy:

Compensation Component	Purpose of Component
Base salary	To compensate an individual’s performance of basic functions and responsibilities of the position and to recognize key skills and competencies of the individual.
Annual cash incentive awards	To motivate and reward employees for achieving or surpassing targeted results in key performance measures at the Company, business unit and individual level. In general, the Company establishes such performance targets at levels it considers challenging but achievable.
Long-term equity awards	To reward successful creation of stockholder value and to motivate and retain top executive talent. The Company’s equity compensation plan allows flexibility in balancing time vested and performance vested grants. Equity awards are approved by the Committee based upon pre-approved equity grant guidelines, with grant levels balancing market median award amounts with actual individual performance.

The Committee considered the historical aggregate compensation of each Named Officer and reviewed his compensation for 2008 on an aggregate basis. It determined that each compensation component serves particular objectives and, therefore, is considered independent of the other components. For 2008, the Committee determined each Named Officer’s compensation component levels, but it did not allocate total compensation among such components or among any other forms of compensation based on a larger compensation policy.

The Committee believes it is customary and appropriate that the CEO’s base salary, cash incentive award and equity compensation are greater than that of the other Named Officers. The CEO is the only executive with broad authority over the Company’s full range of operations and with duties and responsibilities encompassing all aspects of the Company’s management and operations. These duties and responsibilities are greater in scope and collectively more significant in nature than those of any other Named Officer. The Committee believes that it is appropriate that the CEO’s compensation level reflects this.

Mr. Smiley’s compensation for 2008 was not determined using the same processes that were used for the other non-CEO Named Officers. His compensation component levels were negotiated and agreed to by Mr. Smiley and the Committee as part of Mr. Smiley’s employment agreement (the “Smiley Employment Agreement”) executed in connection with his being hired as the CFO of the Company effective May 1, 2008. In connection with the approval of the Smiley Employment Agreement, the Committee considered market data that had been provided by The Delves Group (an independent executive compensation consulting firm) and the historical compensation package of the Company’s former CFO.

In addition to the three principal compensation components referenced above, all Named Officers are eligible to participate in various employee benefit plans generally available to the Company’s U.S. salaried employees. See “Participation in Employee Benefits” below.

Performance Evaluations

The Company’s annual performance evaluations are an important part of the Committee’s determination of compensation component levels for each Named Officer.

In determining the Named Officers’ compensation with respect to their base salaries and equity awards, one factor considered by the Committee is the Named Officers’ respective individual performance evaluations. Individual performance criteria consist of a combination of objective and subjective criteria.

Individual performance evaluations for Named Officers, other than the CEO, were conducted in 2008 in accordance with the Company’s annual performance review process applicable to all salaried employees.

At the beginning of 2008 (and with Mr. Smiley when he joined the Company), Mr. Gustafsson, as the CEO and the supervisor of the other Named Officers, consulted with each Named Officer and established the Named Officer’s individual performance goals for the year. Shortly after the year end, Mr. Gustafsson evaluated each Named Officer’s actual performance as measured against individual performance goals. He also considered various other factors such as:

the Named Officer’s performance of daily responsibilities;
advancement and support of strategic initiatives for the Company or a business unit; and
particular or general contributions to the overall management of the Company.

-16-

These evaluations were conducted on a subjective basis without weighting of any particular factors. The evaluations of such Named Officers’ actual individual performances relative to their pre-established performance goals were considered in conjunction with the many other factors discussed below, particularly under “2008 Base Salaries” and “Equity Awards.”

The CEO’s performance is evaluated by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”). At the time Mr. Gustafsson became CEO in September 2007, the Board informed him that his first performance evaluation would be in early 2009.

Establishing Compensation Component Levels

In determining Named Officers’ compensation, the Committee considers numerous factors, including market compensation benchmarking.

The Committee engaged The Delves Group as its independent executive compensation consultant to provide competitive compensation data, analysis and guidance throughout the process of determining 2008 compensation component levels for the Named Officers. The Delves Group also provides executive compensation consulting services to the Company for specific projects, as approved by the Committee Chairman.

The Committee reviews Company executive officer compensation and performance data to determine whether the Company’s executive compensation program is competitive and reasonable. The Committee directed The Delves Group to collect and analyze compensation data for the Company’s executive officers and assess their compensation relative to individuals holding similar positions in technology and other industries. In 2008, The Delves Group provided market-based compensation data for base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and long-term equity awards for the executive officers. The Delves Group also provided comparative performance data for the companies comprising the Peer Group (as defined below), including revenue, net income, market capitalization, net margin, 1-year total shareholder return and 3-year total shareholder return and price-earnings ratio.

The Delves Group presented compensation data and analysis to the Committee from several compensation data sources for comparison with the Company’s executive pay practices. The compensation data sources consist of third-party proprietary market databases (collectively, the “Study”). Another key data source was a peer group developed by the Committee and The Delves Group in 2007 which consisted of U.S.-based technology companies with net revenue, total assets, total equity and market capitalization generally comparable to the Company’s (the “Peer Group”). The Peer Group consisted of Lexmark International Inc.; Symbol Technologies, Inc.; Scansource, Inc.; Waters Corp.; Brady Corp.; Paxar Corp.; Intermec Inc.; Checkpoint Systems Inc.; Polycom Inc.; Itron Inc.; Flir Systems Inc.; Electronics for Imaging, Inc.; Avocent Corp; Coherent Inc.; Emulex Corp.; RadiSys Corp.; Printronix Inc.; and Astro-Med Inc. The Study and the Peer Group data were based on compensation paid predominantly in 2006 and adjusted to reflect annual market increases of 4% in each of 2007 and 2008.

In 2008, the Committee reviewed base salary, annual cash incentive award and equity award data from the Study and the Peer Group. The data was presented at the median and 75th percentile levels, for executives in positions comparable to those of the Company’s executive officers. The Committee used the Study and Peer Group information as a reference in making its compensation determinations, as further described below.

2008 Base Salaries.

Non-CEO Named Officers. The Committee typically reviews and establishes the base salaries of the Named Officers (other than the CEO) annually. The Committee may adjust the base salaries based on objective and subjective criteria including individual performance, the position of the base salary within the established salary range, executive experience levels, competitive compensation levels, general labor market conditions, and the Company’s overall salary budget. In addition, the Committee may adjust a Named Officer’s base salary prospectively, or in some cases retrospectively, during the year if he or she changes position within the Company or assumes new responsibilities.

-17-

In connection with establishing the Named Officers’ (other than the CEO) base salary adjustments, the Company’s human resources department provides merit increase percentage guidelines based on market-based compensation data, its knowledge of competitive market practices and the Company’s salary budget. The merit increase percentage guidelines for the 2008 base salary increases for all Named Officers serving at the time (other than Mr. Gustafsson) were from 0% to 9%.

The human resources department also determines a suggested salary range (the “HR Salary Range”) for each Named Officer (other than the CEO) based on the Named Officer’s position within the Company’s internal salary grade system. Each officer’s position within the internal salary grade system is assigned by the human resources department based on generally available salary data obtained by the Company’s human resources department from several third-party proprietary executive compensation databases. The data consists of salary information for executives of U.S.-based general industry and technology companies with employee counts and/or revenue similar to the Company’s. In general, the midpoint of a Named Officer’s HR Salary Range approximates the median of base salaries provided to other executives in similar positions within the Company and in comparable positions at other companies as reflected in such compensation databases. In addition, the relative importance of each position to the Company was also considered in determining the HR Salary Range for each position. For 2008, the HR Salary Ranges for all Named Officers (other than Messrs. Gustafsson and Smiley) measured from 77% to 123% of their respective midpoints for 2008.

In addition, the Committee received salary range information from the Study and the Peer Group data (the “Study and Peer Group Salary Range”). The Study and Peer Group Salary Range for each Named Officer reflects high and low parameters for each Named Officer without identifying a median.

Typically, the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources and the CEO review and discuss the Named Officers’ (other than the CEO) base salaries. The Company did not have a Vice President, Human Resources during most of the 2008 salary review period, so the Company’s Vice President and General Counsel managed this responsibility until a Vice President, Human Resources was hired in March 2008. After considering the merit increase percentage guidelines and evaluating a Named Officer’s performance and the position of his or her current base salary within his or her HR Salary Range, the CEO, as direct supervisor, makes a specific base salary adjustment recommendation to the Committee. Each Named Officer’s (other than the CEO) actual base salary adjustment, if any, is determined by the Committee. In determining each such Named Officer’s base salary adjustment, the Committee reviews each Named Officer’s individual performance evaluation, base salary recommended by the CEO, merit increase percentage guidelines recommended by the human resources department, HR Salary Range, Study and Peer Group Salary Range, current base salary’s position within the HR Salary Range and Study and Peer Group Salary Range, and the Study and Peer Group data.

Based on individual considerations with respect to each Named Officer (other than the CEO) such as his or her experience and contributions to the Company, and recognizing that the Company must also react to a competitive marketplace on a case-by-case basis when seeking to recruit and retain executives, the Committee strives to set each Named Officer’s base salary within the HR Salary Range and the Study and Peer Group Salary Range.

For the one-year period beginning March 31, 2008, the Committee set the base salaries for the Named Officers (other than Messrs. Gustafsson and Smiley) between 90% and 114% of the midpoints within their respective HR Salary Range and within their respective Study and Peer Group Salary Range. Such Named Officers’ base salaries increased between 3.34% and 7.23% over their respective base salaries for the prior one-year period. The base salaries of Messrs. Gustafsson and Smiley are discussed below.

Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Gustafsson’s base salary for 2007 and 2008 was determined by negotiation between Mr. Gustafsson and the Board in connection with his hiring in September 2007. Accordingly, the Committee did not conduct a review of Mr. Gustafsson’s salary in 2008. Mr. Gustafsson’s employment agreement (the “Gustafsson Employment Agreement”) provides that the Board retains discretion to increase Mr. Gustafsson’s salary.

New Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Smiley’s base salary was determined by negotiation between Mr. Smiley and the Committee in connection with his hiring as the CFO of the Company effective May 1, 2008.

2008 Annual Cash Incentive Awards.

Each of the Company’s Named Officers participated in the Company’s 2008 Management Bonus Plan (the “2008 Incentive Plan”). Annual cash incentive awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan were based on the achievement of financial performance goals established for each Named Officer. Also, the Committee has authority to award discretionary bonuses based on subjective criteria, although it did not do so for Named Officers’ performance in 2008.

-18-

The target annual cash incentive awards that would be payable to each Named Officer under the Company’s annual cash incentive award plans are calculated as a percentage (the “Target Percentage”) of the Named Officer’s base salary. Except with respect to Mr. Dillon, each Named Officer’s Target Percentage is set forth in the Named Officer’s employment agreement. The Committee set Mr. Dillon’s Target Percentage for 2008 at the time he became an employee of the Company in December 2007 to be consistent with other similarly-situated executive officers of the Company. Generally, the Target Percentage is higher for executive officers in more senior positions and who have more responsibility. The Committee has discretion to increase the Target Percentages from the percentages set forth in the Named Officers’ employment agreements (for example, based on competitive market practices), although it did not do so for 2008.

The CEO recommends the cash incentive award ranges for the annual cash incentive award for each Named Officer (other than for himself) to the Committee. The Committee then reviews and approves cash incentive award ranges. In 2008, the cash incentive award range under the 2008 Incentive Plan for each Named Officer was consistent with the Compensation Philosophy and ranged between 0% and 200% of his target cash incentive award level. The Gustafsson Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Gustafsson’s maximum cash incentive award will be 200% of his base salary.

The Named Officers’ minimum, target and maximum cash incentive awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan, and their actual cash incentive awards received under the 2008 Incentive Plan, each as percentages of their respective base salaries, were as follows:

Cash Incentive Award as a Percentage
of Base Salary Earned in 2008

Named Officer	Minimum	Target	Maximum	Actual
Anders Gustafsson	0%	100%	200%	21.71%
Michael C. Smiley	0%	50%	100%	20.00%
Charles R. Whitchurch	0%	50%	100%	10.86%
Philip Gerskovich	0%	50%	100%	10.86%
Hugh K. Gagnier	0%	45%	90%	10.51%
Michael H. Terzich	0%	45%	90%	10.51%
John M. Dillon	0%	45%	90%	0%

The amount of each Named Officer’s cash incentive award under the 2008 Incentive Plan depended upon the level of attainment of his financial performance goals for the year.

Messrs. Gustafsson, Smiley, Whitchurch and Gerskovich were eligible for annual cash incentive awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan based on the Company’s achievement of specific Company Consolidated Income from Operations levels for 2008.
Pursuant to the Smiley Employment Agreement, Mr. Smiley’s annual cash incentive award was guaranteed to be no less than 20% of his base salary actually earned for 2008. His cash incentive award would have equaled 10.86% of his base salary actually earned without the 20% guarantee.
Pursuant to his employment agreement, as a result of his employment termination, Mr. Whitchurch was entitled to a pro rata portion of the annual cash incentive award for 2008 (10.86% of his base salary actually earned for 2008), and an additional annual cash incentive award equal to his target annual cash incentive award for 2008 (50% of his annual base salary rate). Only the former is included in the table above.
Messrs. Gagnier and Terzich were eligible for annual cash incentive awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan with 25% of their award based on the achievement by the Specialty Printer Group (“SPG”) of specific SPG Consolidated Direct Operating Profit levels for 2008 and 75% of their awards based on Company Consolidated Income from Operations levels for 2008.

-19-

Mr. Dillon was eligible for an annual cash incentive award under the 2008 Incentive Plan with 25% of his award based on Company Consolidated Income from Operations and 75% of his award based on the achievement of certain financial performance measures by the Zebra Enterprise Solutions (“ZES”). The ZES financial performance measures were weighted 25% on ZES Revenue, 50% on ZES EBITDA, and 25% on ZES Total Bookings. As a result of his employment termination, Mr. Dillon did not receive an annual cash incentive award under the 2008 Incentive Plan.

Company Consolidated Income from Operations, SPG Consolidated Direct Operating Profit, ZES Revenue, ZES EBITDA and ZES Total Bookings are defined in the Glossary of Terms attached to this Proxy Statement.

The Named Officers’ financial performance targets at which they receive 100% of their target cash incentive awards under the annual incentive award plans, which correspond to internal financial goals, have historically (including in 2008) been set at aggressive levels. For 2008, the financial performance targets at which cash incentive awards (or portions of such awards) would be calculated at the 100% level were: Company Consolidated Income from Operations target, $213,119,000; SPG Consolidated Direct Operating Profit, $283,432,000; ZES Revenue, $115,359,000; ZES EBITDA, $3,402,000; and ZES Total Bookings, the budgeted amount for 2008. The Committee has the discretion to exclude the effect of unusual events from the calculation of the achievement of financial performance measures under the 2008 Incentive Plan.

For the financial performance measures under the 2008 Incentive Plan, (i) the minimum performance level required to receive a cash incentive award, and (ii) the performance level required to receive the maximum cash incentive award payment (i.e., 200% of target cash incentive award), reflected as a percentage of achievement of the applicable target, were as follows:

Performance Levels Required To Receive a Cash Incentive Award,
as a Percentage of Target Performance Level

Financial Performance Measure	Minimum Performance Level	Maximum Performance Level
Company Consolidated Income from Operations	> 85.0%	107.5%
SPG Consolidated Direct Operating Profit	> 85.0%	107.5%
ZES Revenue	> 80.0%	120%
ZES EBITDA	> 80.0%	170%
ZES Total Bookings	> 80.0%	120%

As the former president of Navis Holdings, LLC (“Navis”), which was acquired by the Company in December 2007, Mr. Dillon also participated in the Navis Holdings, LLC Transition Bonus Plan (the “Navis Plan”). The Navis Plan was funded by the sellers of Navis as an incentive for senior Navis executives to continue their employment after a change of control of Navis. As a result of his employment termination with the Company, Mr. Dillon received a $300,000 payment from the Company pursuant to the Navis Plan.

2009 Annual Cash Incentive Awards

In February 2009, the Committee adopted an annual incentive award program for 2009, the 2009 Zebra Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”), in which the Named Officers are eligible to participate. Due to the challenging economic environment of 2009 and the potential difficulty forecasting the appropriate financial targets for the balance of 2009, the Committee modified the 2009 Incentive Plan from the 2008 Incentive Plan in certain notable ways. These changes include providing flexibility to establish financial performance goals for the second half of 2009 as late as August 14, 2009.

-20-

Cash incentive awards for participants under the 2009 Incentive Plan are based on two incentive performance components. One is a financial performance component (the “Financial Component”), which is given an 80% weighting and consists of the achievement of one or more financial performance goals of the Company and/or, if applicable, of the participant’s assigned business unit. Achievement of the Financial Component is measured both for the whole 2009 fiscal year (the “Annual Performance Period”) and for each of two separate two-quarter performance periods (each, a “Semi-Annual Performance Period”). The first Semi-Annual Performance Period consists of the Company’s first two fiscal quarters of 2009, and the second Semi-Annual Performance Period consists of the last two fiscal quarters of 2009.

The second component (the “Personal Component”), which is given a 20% weighting, consists of the achievement of one or more other performance goals (the “Personal Performance Goals”). Performance achievement with respect to the Personal Component is measured for the Annual Performance Period.

Financial Component. The Financial Component’s performance goals, which the Committee establishes for the Named Officers, are expressed in terms of financial performance measures which are described in the 2009 Incentive Plan (the “Financial Performance Goals”). The Financial Performance Goal measures are similar to the measures applicable under the 2008 Incentive Plan. Messrs. Gustafsson’s, Smiley’s and Gerskovich’s Financial Performance Goals for both Semi-Annual Performance Periods (“Semi-Annual Performance Goals”) are based on Consolidated Income from Operations of the Company, and Messrs. Gagnier’s and Terzich’s Financial Performance Goals for both Semi-Annual Performance Periods are based 75% on Consolidated Income from Operations of the Company and 25% on 2009 Income from Operations of their assigned business unit, the Specialty Printer Group (“SPG”). The Named Officers’ Semi-Annual Performance Goals for the first Semi-Annual Performance Period were established at budgeted levels of Income from Operations (for both the Company and SPG). Their Semi-Annual Performance Goals for the second Semi-Annual Performance Period will be established by the Committee within 45 days after the beginning of the second Semi-Annual Performance Period.

Under the 2009 Incentive Plan, the Financial Performance Goals for each participant for the Annual Performance Period (“Annual Performance Goals”) will be the sum of the participant’s Semi-Annual Performance Goals for the two Semi-Annual Performance Periods.

Personal Component. The Committee determined that the Personal Performance Goals for the Company’s Named Officers will consist of specific levels of “Return on Invested Capital” for the 2009 fiscal year. Return on Invested Capital and Income from Operations under the 2009 Incentive Plan are defined in the Glossary of Terms attached to this Proxy Statement.

Cash Incentive Award Levels. The cash incentive award of each participant under the 2009 Incentive Plan will be calculated separately with respect to its Financial Component and Personal Component.

Under the 2009 Incentive Plan, the level of achievement of each Financial Performance Goal corresponds to a “Performance Payout Percentage” for the Annual Performance Period and each Semi-Annual Performance Period. Similarly, under the 2009 Incentive Plan, the level of achievement of each Personal Performance Goal corresponds to a “Personal Payout Percentage.” The minimum performance level required to receive a cash incentive award under the 2009 Incentive Plan for a performance period is achievement greater than 75.0% of the applicable Financial Performance Goal or Personal Performance Goal. The maximum cash incentive award payment (200% of target cash incentive award) under the 2009 Incentive Plan requires the achievement of 120% of the applicable Financial Performance Goal or Personal Performance Goal, except that the maximum Performance Payout Percentages for achievement of a Semi-Annual Performance Goal for either Semi-Annual Performance Period is 100%.

Each participant is assigned a Target Percentage (as defined above under “2008 Annual Incentive Awards”) for 2009 and is eligible to earn a cash incentive award based on achievement of the participant’s Semi-Annual Performance Goals, Annual Performance Goals and Personal Performance Goals. The calculation of a participant’s total cash incentive award under the 2009 Incentive Plan is as follows:

Incentive Award = Combined Semi-Annual Award + Annual Award + Personal Award

Financial Performance Component:

	1.		Combined Semi-Annual Award, which shall equal H times the sum of (A x B x E) plus (A x C x F)

	2.		Annual Award, which shall equal the amount by which (H x A x D x G) exceeds the Combined Semi-Annual Award

-21-

Individual Performance Component:

	3.	Personal Award, which shall equal (A x D x I x J)

Where:

A = Target Percentage

B = Base Earnings during the first Semi-Annual Performance Period

C = Base Earnings during the second Semi-Annual Performance Period

D = Base Earnings during 2009

E = Performance Payout Percentage for the first Semi-Annual Performance Period

F = Performance Payout Percentage for the second Semi-Annual Performance Period

G = Performance Payout Percentage for Annual Financial Performance Goal

H = Financial Component weighting percentage (i.e., 80% for Named Officers)

I = Personal Payout Percentage for Personal Performance Goal

J = Personal Component weighting percentage (i.e., 20% for Named Officers)

Equity Awards

The Committee believes it is important that all of its Named Officers have a direct incentive to create stockholder value over a long-term investment horizon. The Company makes equity awards to its executive officers to provide long-term incentives related to stock appreciation and competitive compensation packages.

Historically, the Company’s general practice was to make annual equity awards to its Named Officers in the form of stock options. In 2008, The Delves Group provided market compensation data from the Peer Group and the Study regarding the level and mix of equity awards awarded to executives at other companies comparable to the Company. Based on this data, The Delves Group and Mr. Gustafsson recommended to the Committee that the Company’s annual equity awards consist of both stock options and performance-based restricted stock. The Committee considered the recommendation and the equity mix data and decided to grant annual awards in 2008 of both performance-based restricted stock and time-vesting non-qualified stock options to its executive officers under its stockholder-approved 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan.

2008 Awards. For 2008, the Committee decided a total equity award dollar value for each Named Officer (other than Mr. Smiley) based on a number of factors. The Delves Group determined the median equity grant dollar value provided to other executives in positions at other companies comparable to the Named Officers’ positions, as reflected in the Study and Peer Group data, and presented that information to Mr. Gustafsson. Mr. Gustafsson then recommended to the Committee a total equity award dollar value range for each Named Officer based on factors including the Named Officer’s performance evaluation, his overall compensation package and his perceived potential and contributions to the Company. After reviewing the Study and Peer Group data provided by The Delves Group and considering Mr. Gustafsson’s recommendations, the Committee, with Mr. Gustafsson’s participation, determined the total equity award dollar value for each Named Officer other than Mr. Gustafsson. The Committee considered several factors in making its determinations, including the competitive marketplace data provided by The Delves Group, Mr. Gustafsson’s recommendations, the Company’s performance, a Named Officer’s position within the Company, his individual performance evaluation, his perceived potential and contributions to the Company, and the Committee’s subjective understanding of competitive practices in the marketplace with respect to equity awards. The factors used by Mr. Gustafsson to determine recommendations regarding total equity award dollar value ranges for each Named Officer and by the Committee to establish each Named Officer’s total equity award dollar value were assessed by Mr. Gustafsson and the Committee, respectively, on a subjective basis.

With respect to Mr. Gustafsson’s total equity award dollar value, the Committee consulted directly with The Delves Group and considered the same factors it considered in determining the total equity award dollar values for the other Named Officers. Mr. Gustafsson did not participate in, or consult with the Committee regarding, the determination of his total equity award dollar value.

-22-

The Committee determined to provide half of the dollar value of each Named Officer’s (other than Messrs. Gustafsson and Smiley) equity award in the form of time-vesting stock options and half in the form of performance-based restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. It determined this mix of stock options and performance-based restricted stock based on the equity grant practices of other comparable companies as reported in the Study and the Peer Group data and on its general understanding of competitive market practices.

In calculating the number of time-vesting stock options, the Company used the following formula:

	targeted dollar value of the stock option award
(a specific binomial value) x (the estimated per share price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date)

The binomial value for each stock option grant was calculated based upon a variety of assumptions as of the grant date including the exercise price, expected life of the grant, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The exercise price of the stock options was set at the closing stock price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the equity grant.

In calculating the number of performance-based restricted shares, the Company used the following formula:

	targeted dollar value of the performance-based restricted stock award
(a specific discount value) x (the estimated per share price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date)

The discount value for each performance-based restricted stock award was calculated based upon a variety of assumptions as of the grant date including the per-share stock price on the grant date, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield.

In 2008, the total equity award dollar value of Mr. Gustafsson’s annual equity award was determined in the same manner as the other Named Officers. When Mr. Gustafsson was hired in September 2007, he received grants of time-vesting stock options, performance-based stock options and performance-based restricted stock. Since, unlike the other Named Officers, Mr. Gustafsson had recently received a grant of performance-based restricted stock, the Committee determined that it was appropriate that his annual equity award consist entirely of time-vesting stock options rather than a combination of performance-based restricted stock and time-vesting stock options.

Pursuant to the Smiley Employment Agreement, Mr. Smiley was granted a stock option to purchase 11,700 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that vests in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date, as well as 7,500 shares of performance-based restricted stock. These stock options and shares of performance-based restricted stock awarded to Mr. Smiley were negotiated in connection with his hiring and reflected in the Smiley Employment Agreement.

Stock Option Terms. The annual stock option awards made to the Named Officers in 2008 are non-qualified stock options. Consistent with the 2007 annual stock option award terms, the Committee determined that the annual stock option awards in 2008 would vest over a four-year period, with equal portions vesting on the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The stock options expire no later than ten years after the grant date.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Terms. To align the goals of the Company’s management team, the Committee decided to tie the other Named Officers’ 2008 performance-based restricted stock awards to the same vesting conditions as those applicable to Mr. Gustafsson’s performance-based restricted stock grant awarded to him in September 2007. Accordingly, the 2008 annual performance-based restricted stock awards to the Named Officers will vest incrementally based on the Company achieving the same levels of “Total Shareholder Return” prior to the fifth anniversary of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement as apply to Mr. Gustafsson’s performance-based restricted stock award. Similarly, upon his hiring, Mr. Smiley was granted a performance-based restricted stock award pursuant to the Smiley Employment Agreement and his performance-based restricted stock will vest according to the same terms.

“Total Shareholder Return” is calculated as:

	Relevant Share Price – Share Price on September 4, 2007 + Dividends
Share Price on September 4, 2007

where (i) Relevant Share Price = the closing per-share price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market on any particular date, (ii) Share Price on September 4, 2007 = the closing per-share price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market on September 4, 2007, the date of grant of Mr. Gustafsson’s performance-based restricted stock upon his hiring, and (iii) Dividends = the aggregate dividends paid on a share of the Company’s Common Stock since the date of grant.

Participation in Employee Benefits

Named Officers are also eligible to participate in various benefit programs offered generally to the Company’s U.S. salaried employees.

Named Officers may participate in the Company’s health plans and group disability and life insurance plans. The Company also provides a 401(k) plan to eligible employees, including its Named Officers. It also provides a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which the Named Officers may participate. In accordance with applicable tax laws, eligible participants have an opportunity to defer, on a pre-tax basis, all or a portion of the participant’s base salary, commissions and cash incentive awards earned each year. Deferred amounts are credited to the participant’s account, which is also credited with earnings on those amounts based on hypothetical investments selected by the participant. In addition to such earnings, the Company may, but is not required to, specify additional discretionary amounts which the Company may credit to a participant’s account (to date, no such discretionary amounts have been credited to any account). Until the deferred amounts are actually paid, the participant pays no taxes on them other than FICA and Medicare taxes. The Company receives no tax deduction for payment of the deferred amounts until they are actually paid, although it does pay and deduct the employer’s portion of FICA and Medicare taxes.

The Company generally does not provide perquisites. Additionally, except for the Company’s 401(k) plan, the deferred compensation plan and the Company’s equity-based incentive compensation plans described above, the Company does not provide other long-term compensation plans such as supplemental executive retirement plans or defined benefit pension plans.

Tax Effects

Compliance with Section 162(m). The Committee generally intends for all compensation paid to the Named Officers to be tax deductible to the Company pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”). Section 162(m) provides that compensation paid to the Named Officers in excess of $1,000,000 cannot be deducted by the Company for federal income tax purposes unless, in general, such compensation is performance-based, is established by an independent committee of directors, is objective and the plan or agreement providing for such performance-based compensation has been approved in advance by the Company’s stockholders. However, if in the judgment of the Committee, the benefits to the Company of a compensation program that does not satisfy the arbitrary and inflexible conditions of Section 162(m) outweigh the costs to the Company of the failure to satisfy these conditions, the Committee may adopt such a program.

Stock Options. There generally are no federal income tax consequences to a participant or the Company upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option (an “NSO”). Upon the exercise of an NSO, the executive officer generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to: (i) the fair market value, on the date of exercise, of the acquired shares, less (ii) the exercise price of the NSO. Subject to Section 162(m), in most cases the Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.

Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise provided above (see “Compliance With Section 162(m)” above) and subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, there are generally no federal income tax consequences to either the executive officer or the Company upon the grant of restricted stock (including performance-based restricted stock), provided that the stock is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the restricted period or the lapsing of the substantial risk of forfeiture, the executive officer will recognize taxable income equal to the then fair market value of the restricted stock. Subject to Section 162(m), in most cases the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. However, the participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, within thirty days after the date of the grant, to recognize ordinary income on the value of the restricted stock as of the date of grant, in which case the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction at that time. If such an election is made, then there is no federal income tax to either the executive officer or the Company upon the expiration of the restricted period or the lapsing of the substantial risk of forfeiture.

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with each of its Named Officers. The form of employment agreements of Messrs. Gerskovich, Gagnier and Terzich are the same (the “Form Employment Agreement”), as was Mr. Whitchurch’s employment agreement while he was an employee of the Company. Mr. Gustafsson’s employment agreement (as amended, the “Gustafsson Employment Agreement”) is substantially the same as the Form Employment Agreement other than as described below under “Mr. Gustafsson” and Mr. Smiley’s employment agreement (the “Smiley Employment Agreement”) is substantially the same as the Form Employment Agreement other than as described below under “Mr. Smiley.” Mr. Dillon’s employment agreement is described below under “Mr. Dillon.”

Messrs. Gerskovich, Gagnier, Terzich and Whitchurch. The Form Employment Agreements for Messrs. Gerskovich, Gagnier, Terzich and Whitchurch (the “Other Named Officers”) superseded all previous employment agreements, severance agreements, separation agreements and other arrangements between the Company and them with respect to the subject matter of the Form Employment Agreement. Under the Form Employment Agreements, the Other Named Officers are entitled to annual base salaries and are eligible to earn targeted annual cash incentive awards as further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The Other Named Officers’ annual base salaries will be reviewed at least annually, and may be increased or decreased from time to time by the Company. However, if an Other Named Officer’s annual base salary in effect on the date of his Form Employment Agreement is decreased in an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) (unless such decrease is applied on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers of the Company), then the Other Named Officer will have fifteen days to terminate his employment, in which case such termination will be for “good reason” under his Employment Agreement. Each Other Named Officer’s target annual cash incentive award is payable upon the attainment of certain performance measures and in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive award plan for the relevant fiscal year. The Form Employment Agreements also provide that the Other Named Officers will be eligible to receive equity compensation, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

-26-

The employment of each Other Named Officer under his Form Employment Agreement is terminable at any time, subject to certain severance obligations as described below. Each Form Employment Agreement provides that if the Other Named Officer terminates his employment with “good reason” or the Company terminates his employment without “cause” and under circumstances other than death or “disability” as provided in his Employment Agreement, he will be entitled to (i) the continuation of his base salary at the rate then in effect for a period of one year; (ii) a pro rata portion of his annual cash incentive award (the “Annual Award”) for the year in which his employment terminates, if it otherwise would have been earned if he was employed as of the date the annual cash incentive awards for such year are paid to senior level executives of the Company, and any such pro rata portion will be payable at the time annual cash incentive awards for such year are paid to senior level executives of the Company; (iii) if not yet paid, any Annual Award attributable to the year immediately preceding the year of the employment termination, if it otherwise would have been earned if he was employed as of the date the annual cash incentive awards for such year are paid to senior level executives of the Company, and any such Annual Award will be payable at the time annual cash incentive awards for such year are paid to senior level executives of the Company; (iv) a payment equal to 100% of his targeted annual cash incentive award based upon his base salary for the year in which his employment terminates and payable at the time annual cash incentive awards for such year are paid to senior level executives of the Company for such year; (v) outplacement services not to exceed $32,000, and (vi) the continuation of coverage under the Company’s medical and dental insurance plans, as mandated by COBRA, with the Company paying for such coverage at the same rate the Company pays for health insurance coverage for its active employees under its group health plan and the Other Named Officer paying for any employee-paid portion of such coverage, until the earlier of (a) one year after the date of termination, or (b) the Other Named Officer becoming eligible for coverage under another group health plan that does not impose preexisting condition limitations on the Other Named Officer’s coverage.

The Form Employment Agreements provide that if the Other Named Officer terminates his employment with good reason or the Company terminates his employment without cause, and such termination of employment occurs within 120 days immediately preceding or one year immediately following a “change in control,” then the Other Named Officer will be entitled to all compensation and benefits set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, except that instead of receiving salary continuation as set forth in subpart (i) and the payment equal to 100% of his targeted annual cash incentive award as set forth in subpart (iv), he will receive a payment equal to two times his base salary at the rate then in effect plus two times his targeted annual cash incentive award based upon his base salary, which payment shall be payable within sixty days following the later of the change in control or the termination.

Under the Form Employment Agreements, if payments or benefits from the Company to the Other Named Officer exceed the applicable threshold under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and an excise tax becomes due thereunder, the Other Named Officer would be entitled to receive an additional payment so that, after payment by him of all applicable taxes and excise taxes, he retains an amount equal to the amount he would have retained had no excise tax been imposed; provided, however, that if the applicable threshold under Section 4999 of the Code is exceeded by ten percent (10%) or less, the total payments he would be entitled to receive will be reduced so that they are $1.00 less than such applicable threshold.

Each Form Employment Agreement, other than Mr. Gagnier’s, further provides that the Other Named Officer is bound by non-competition and non-solicitation provisions until two years following his termination. Mr. Gagnier’s Form Employment Agreement instead binds him by non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for one year following his termination. Each Form Employment Agreement also subjects the Other Named Officer to confidentiality covenants at all times during and after the term of the Form Employment Agreement. It also obligates the Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Other Named Officer and to indemnify him to the extent permitted under the Company’s By-Laws and/or Certificate of Incorporation.

The terms “cause,” “change in control,” “disability” and “good reason” as used in the Form Employment Agreements are defined in the Glossary of Terms attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A (the “Glossary”).

Mr. Gustafsson. Mr. Gustafsson and the Company entered into the Gustafsson Employment Agreement effective September 4, 2007, in connection with his hiring as the Company’s CEO. The Gustafsson Employment Agreement provided for an initial annual base salary of $700,000, a targeted annual cash incentive award equal to 100% of Mr. Gustafsson’s annual base salary and a maximum annual cash incentive award equal to 200% of Mr. Gustafsson’s annual base salary.

-27-

The Gustafsson Employment Agreement also provided for the specific award to Mr. Gustafsson of stock options and restricted stock. Pursuant to the Gustafsson Employment Agreement, Mr. Gustafsson was granted a stock option to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that vests in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date as long as he remains employed by the Company (the “Initial Option”). He was also granted an additional stock option to purchase 168,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “TSR Option”) and 56,250 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “TSR Stock”). The TSR Option and TSR Stock will each vest incrementally as long as Mr. Gustafsson is employed by the Company and is contingent upon the Company achieving various levels of “Total Shareholder Return” (as defined above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement. The vesting terms of the TSR Stock and TSR Options are the same as those of the “Restricted Stock” described below under “Award Agreements.” Under the Gustafsson Employment Agreement, the Compensation Committee may adjust the formula for calculating Total Shareholder Return to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Total Shareholder Return as a result of certain corporate transactions.

The Gustafsson Employment Agreement is substantially similar to the Form Employment Agreement in most other respects, with the following exceptions: (i) the Gustafsson Employment Agreement provided for payment of relocation costs; (ii) any decrease in Mr. Gustafsson’s base salary, rather than a decrease of at least 10%, permits Mr. Gustafsson to terminate his employment for “good reason”; (iii) if Mr. Gustafsson terminates his employment with good reason or the Company terminates his employment without “cause” and under circumstances other than death or “disability,” he will not receive outplacement services, the unvested portion of the Initial Option and any annual equity awards will vest immediately, the continuation of his base salary will be for a period of two years rather than one year, and, unless it is otherwise terminated, the continuation of healthcare coverage will be for a period of two years rather than one year; and (iv) the Company paid up to $15,000 of Mr. Gustafsson’s legal fees related to the negotiation and drafting of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement.

The terms “cause,” “change in control,” “disability” and “good reason” as used in the Gustafsson Employment Agreements are defined in the Glossary.

Mr. Smiley. Mr. Smiley and the Company entered into the Smiley Employment Agreement effective May 1, 2008 in connection with his hiring as the Company’s CFO. The Smiley Employment Agreement provided for an initial annual base salary of $282,000 and a targeted annual cash incentive award equal to 50% of Mr. Smiley’s annual base salary. The Smiley Employment Agreement also provided that Mr. Smiley’s annual cash incentive award for 2008 would not be less than 20% of his base salary actually earned in 2008.

The Smiley Employment Agreement also provided for the specific award to Mr. Smiley of stock options and restricted stock. Pursuant to the Smiley Employment Agreement, Mr. Smiley was granted a stock option to purchase 11,700 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that vests in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date as long as he remains employed by the Company (the “Smiley Option”). He was also granted restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Smiley Stock”). The Smiley Stock will vest incrementally as long as Mr. Smiley is employed by the Company and is contingent upon the Company achieving various levels of Total Shareholder Return prior to the fifth anniversary of the Smiley Employment Agreement. The Smiley Stock’s vesting terms are described below under “Award Agreements.” Under the Smiley Employment Agreement, the Compensation Committee may adjust the formula for calculating Total Shareholder Return to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Total Shareholder Return as a result of certain corporate transactions. The Smiley Employment Agreement is otherwise substantially similar to the Form Employment Agreement.

-28-

Mr. Dillon. Mr. Dillon and Navis LLC, a subsidiary of Navis Holdings, LLC, had entered into an employment agreement in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Navis Holdings, LLC in December 2007. Mr. Dillon’s employment agreement provided for an annual base salary, annual cash incentive awards and equity grants and contains non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions similar to those in the Form Employment Agreements. In connection with the acquisition, Mr. Dillon was granted (i) a stock option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock that vests in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date as long as he remained employed by the Company (the “Dillon Option”); (ii) an additional stock option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to replace his existing stock option to purchase securities of Navis Holdings, LLC, that vested, as long as he was employed by the Company, in 17 equal monthly installments beginning January 2008 through and including May 2009 (the “Replacement Option”); and (iii) restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock that vest in equal installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date as long as he remained employed by the Company (the “Dillon Restricted Stock”). As further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Mr. Dillon also participated in the Navis Holdings, LLC Transition Bonus Plan (the “Navis Plan”).

In connection with the termination of his employment, Mr. Dillon and the Company entered into a Confidential Waiver Agreement and General Release (the “Dillon Release Agreement”). The Dillon Release Agreement provides that, in consideration of certain waivers and releases by Mr. Dillon and in lieu of any other severance payments or other benefits, Mr. Dillon will receive: (i) continuation of his base salary at the rate then in effect for a period of one year; (ii) a lump-sum payment of $300,000 pursuant to the Navis Plan; and (iii) the continuation of coverage under the Company’s medical, dental and vision plans, in accordance with COBRA, until the earlier of (a) one year after Mr. Dillon’s termination, or (b) Mr. Dillon becoming eligible for coverage under another group health plan that does not impose preexisting condition limitations on Mr. Dillon’s coverage. Upon Mr. Dillon’s employment termination, pursuant to their respective award agreements, the Dillon Option was terminated, one-half of the previously unvested portion of the Replacement Option vested, and the Dillon Restricted Stock vested in full.

____________________

⁽¹⁾		Represents target and maximum award amounts that could have been paid out as cash annual incentive awards for 2008 under the Company’s 2008 Management Bonus Plan if various financial performance goals were achieved. The target and maximum award amounts are based on percentages of each Named Officer’s actual base salary earnings for 2008. The actual award amounts for the 2008 performance period were paid to the Named Officers in March 2009, and are reported in the “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2008 Summary Compensation Table above. The 2008 Management Bonus Plan and the determination of award amounts under it are further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The Company has omitted a “threshold” column because there is no minimum award amount.

⁽²⁾		Shares of restricted stock granted under the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan that will vest incrementally contingent upon the Company achieving various levels of “Total Shareholder Return” prior to September 4, 2012, as further described below under “Award Agreements.” The amounts represent the number of shares that will vest upon achievement of the minimum total shareholder return level for which such shares will vest and upon achievement of the targeted total shareholder return level. The Company has omitted a “maximum” column because the target award amount is the maximum award amount.

⁽³⁾		Non-qualified stock options for shares of the Company’s Common Stock granted under the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan at an exercise price equal to the closing market price on the date of grant. Such options become exercisable with respect to 25% of the underlying shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, and vesting accelerates upon a change in control in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan.

-30-

Award Agreements

Each award of stock options and restricted stock awarded to the Named Officers during 2008 was granted pursuant to an award agreement. In general, the Named Officer must remain employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date in order for the award to vest. Additional information regarding the vesting schedules, and with respect to the Restricted Stock (as defined below) the performance targets and calculations, is described below in the footnotes to the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2008 Fiscal Year-End table and above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Stock Option Awards. The 2008 stock option award agreements provide for a term of ten years to exercise the stock options. The stock option award agreements for the stock options granted to Named Officers provide that: (i) upon the termination of the Named Officer by reason of death or “disability,” the unvested portion of the stock option will immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and along with the unexercised vested portion of the stock option, will remain exercisable for one year; (ii) if the Named Officer “retires,” the unexercised vested portion of the stock option will remain exercisable for one year; (iii) if the Named Officer is terminated for “cause,” the unexercised vested portion of the stock option and the unvested portion of the stock options immediately will be forfeited; (iv) if the Named Officer is terminated for any other reason, then the unexercised vested portion of the stock option will remain exercisable for ninety days in the event of a termination by the Company and thirty days in the event of termination by the Named Officer; (v) in the event of a “change in control,” the unvested portion of the stock option will immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and along with the unexercised vested portion of the stock option, will remain exercisable for the entire term of the stock option; and (vi) the Named Officer is bound by a non-competition and non-solicitation provision until twelve months following termination of his employment and by confidentiality provisions at all times during and after his employment.

The terms “cause,” “change in control,” “disability” and “retire” as used in such 2008 stock option award agreements are defined in the Glossary.

Restricted Stock Agreements. Under the award agreements for the Smiley Stock and the restricted stock awarded to Messrs. Gerskovich, Gagnier, and Terzich in 2008 (collectively, the “Restricted Stock”), if the Named Officer is terminated for any reason, any unvested portion of the stock will be forfeited immediately, except that some or all of the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock will vest if the Named Officer terminates his employment with “good reason” or the Company terminates his employment without “cause,” and such termination of employment occurs within 120 days immediately preceding or one year immediately following a “change in control,” as described above under “Employment Agreements.” Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier and Terzich have the right to receive dividends paid on the Restricted Stock and the full right to vote the Restricted Stock. Pursuant to the restricted stock award agreements for the Restricted Stock, Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier and Terzich are each bound by a non-competition and non-solicitation provision for twenty-four months following termination of his employment and by confidentiality provisions at all times during and after his employment.

The Restricted Stock of each of Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier and Terzich will vest incrementally as long as he is employed by the Company and is contingent upon the Company achieving various levels of Total Shareholder Return prior to September 4, 2012. The Restricted Stock will vest as follows:

	(i)		25% of the award will vest if, at any time during the period from September 4, 2007 until September 4, 2012 (the “Vesting Period”), the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any 45 consecutive trading days is at least 60%.

	(ii)		The final 75% of the award will vest if, at any time during the Vesting Period, the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any 45 consecutive trading days is at least 100%.

-31-

(iii)

If the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any 45 consecutive trading day period is between 60% and 100%, then the award will vest in the aggregate (which Vested Percentage shall include the 25% reflected in subparagraph (i), above) as follows:

Total Shareholder Return		Vested Percentage
65% but less than 70%		28.8%
70% but less than 75%		33.4%
75% but less than 80%		39.3%
80% but less than 85%		46.8%
85% but less than 90%		56.2%
90% but less than 95%		68.4%
95% but less than 100%		83.8%

(iv)

Any portion of the award which is unvested at the expiration of the Vesting Period will be forfeited.

In addition, if Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier or Terzich terminates his employment with “good reason” or the Company terminates his employment without cause, and such termination of employment occurs within 120 days immediately preceding or one year immediately following a “change in control,” then pursuant to the Restricted Stock award agreement, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock will immediately vest as follows:

		Percentage of Unvested Restricted
Date of Change in Control		Stock That Will Vest
Prior to September 4, 2008		100%

On or after September 4, 2008, but prior to September 4, 2009		80%

On or after September 4, 2009, but prior to September 4, 2010		60%

On or after September 4, 2010, but prior to September 4, 2011		40%

On or after September 4, 2011, but prior to September 4, 2012		20%

The terms “cause,” “change in control” and “good reason” as used in the Restricted Stock award agreements are defined in the Glossary.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Pursuant to the Company’s Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective January 1, 2002, (the “2002 Deferral Plan”) and its 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan effective January 1, 2005, (the “2005 Deferral Plan”) (the 2002 Deferral Plan and the 2005 Deferral Plan are collectively referred to herein as the “Deferral Plans”), a Named Officer could defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 80% of each of his base salary, commissions and cash incentive award earned for 2008. Deferred compensation balances are credited with gains or losses which mirror the performance of benchmark investment funds selected by the participant from among the Deferral Plans’ available funds offerings. All credited amounts under the Deferral Plans are unfunded general obligations of the Company, and the participants have no greater rights to their respective payments than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

The values of each participant’s account under the Deferral Plans change based upon the performance of the funds designated by the participant from various money market and investment funds offerings. Amounts deferred under the Deferral Plans are paid either in a lump sum or in annual installments pursuant to the terms of the Deferral Plans. The Deferral Plans permit payment of the deferred amount upon, among other things, a termination of employment and a change of control of the Company. To date, the Company has not made contributions to the Deferral Plans, but pays all of the Deferral Plans’ administrative costs and expenses.

The table below reflects the funds available under the Deferral Plans in which the Named Officers’ accounts had investment balances as of December 31, 2008, and the funds’ annual rates of return for 2008, as reported by the administrator of the Deferral Plans. The Deferral Plans are further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS
AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Only independent directors served on the Compensation Committee during 2008. Dr. Potter is the Chair of the Compensation Committee, and Messrs. Keyser and Smith are members. Mr. Knowles was a member of the Compensation Committee until his retirement at the 2008 Annual Meeting. None of them has ever been an officer or other employee of the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company had historically invested in partnerships managed by Mesirow Advanced Strategies, Inc. (“MAS”), the hedge fund of funds division of Mesirow Financial Holdings, Inc. Martin B. Kaplan, the chief executive officer of MAS, is the son of Edward L. Kaplan, the Company’s co-founder and retired director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Martin B. Kaplan receives no direct compensation based on the Company’s investment through MAS. The investment arrangement was ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2007 pursuant to the Company’s policies and procedures regarding Related Party Transactions described below under “Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures.”

As of January 1, 2008, the balance of the MAS-managed investments was approximately $10.9 million. The Company divested all MAS-managed investments by May 2008.

Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures

The Company has adopted written policies and procedures to identify, review and approve (or deny approval of) “Related Party Transactions.” A “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) (i) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant, (ii) in which any “Related Person” had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest, and (iii) that meets applicable de minimis thresholds. Related Party Transactions do not include the following:

	1.		most transactions involving approved compensation of executive officers of the Company;

	2.		transactions involving compensation of directors for service on the Board of Directors or committees thereof;

	3.		transactions available to all employees of the Company generally or to all salaried employees of the Company generally; or

	4.		transactions in which the interest of the Related Person arises solely from the ownership of a class of the Company’s equity securities and all holders of that class receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.

For purposes of Related Party Transactions, a “Related Person” includes:

	1.		any director or executive officer of the Company or nominee to become a director of the Company;

	2.		any person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities;

	3.		any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of the director, executive officer, nominee or more than 5% beneficial owner, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such foregoing person; and

	4.		any firm, corporation or entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a general partner or principal or in a similar position, or in which such person, together with all other Related Persons, have in the aggregate a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

-45-

Related Party Transactions in the following categories are treated as pre-approved:

	1.		any transaction with another company in which a Related Person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than as an executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 5% of that company’s shares (i) if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000, or 2 percent of that company’s total annual revenues; (ii) the Related Person has no direct or indirect involvement in the Related Party Transaction; and (iii) the Related Person is not compensated for the transaction with the Company or its subsidiary; and

	2.		Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by the Company to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a Related Person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than as an executive officer) or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $100,000, or 2 percent of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.

The Company’s General Counsel and the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) administer the Company’s policies and procedures regarding Related Party Transactions. The Company’s General Counsel assesses whether proposed transactions are Related Party Transactions. If the General Counsel determines that a proposed transaction is a Related Party Transaction, then the appropriate party or parties further described below review the proposed transaction and either approve it or deny approval of it. In reviewing the proposed Related Party Transaction and making such determination, all of the relevant facts and circumstances available shall be considered, including (if applicable) but not limited to: the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director’s independence (if the Related Person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer); the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the Related Person’s interest in the transaction; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally.

Depending on the dollar amount involved in a proposed Related Party Transaction, the review and determination of whether to approve or deny approval of the proposed Related Party Transaction is made by different parties.

If a proposed Related Party Transaction involves less than $100,000, the General Counsel and the Chairman of the Committee (the “Chair”) and such other executive officers that either of them may deem appropriate, or the full Committee at the option of the Chair, shall determine whether to approve or deny approval of the proposed Related Party Transaction.

If a proposed Related Party Transaction involves $100,000 or more, the proposed Related Party Transaction is submitted to the Committee for consideration at the next Committee meeting or, to the Chair in those instances in which the General Counsel, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, determines that it is not practicable or desirable for the Company to wait until the next Committee meeting.

If the General Counsel becomes aware of a Related Party Transaction that was not previously approved or previously ratified under the Company’s policies and procedures, the Related Party Transaction shall be submitted to the Committee or the Chair. If the Related Party Transaction is still ongoing, the Committee or Chair must evaluate all options, including ratification, amendment or termination of the Related Party Transaction. If the Related Party transaction is completed, the Committee or Chair shall evaluate the Related Party Transaction to determine if rescission of the Related Party Transaction and/or any disciplinary action is appropriate, and shall request the Chief Compliance Officer to evaluate the Company’s controls and procedures to ascertain the reason that the Related Party Transaction was not submitted for prior approval.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Committee also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and letter from the independent accountants required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent accountants the independent accountants’ independence.

The Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited financial statements of the Company in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the SEC. This recommendation was based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management, internal auditors and Zebra’s independent accountants, as well as the Committee’s reliance on management’s representation described above.

Under the Form Employment Agreement.

As determined by the Board in its sole discretion, the Named Officer shall be deemed terminated for “Cause” if the Board terminates the Named Officer after the Named Officer:

	(1)		shall have committed, been indicted of, or been convicted of, or admitted, plea bargained, entered a plea of no contest or nolo contendere to, any felony of any kind or a misdemeanor, or violated any laws, involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude;

	(2)		shall have materially breached the Form Employment Agreement or any other agreement to which the Named Officer and the Company are parties;

	(3)		shall have materially violated any written Company policy, regardless of whether within or outside the scope of his authority;

	(4)		shall have committed willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or dishonest, fraudulent or unethical behavior, or other conduct involving serious moral turpitude in the performance of his duties hereunder;

	(5)		shall have failed or refused to materially comply (to the best of his ability) with a specific direction of the Company, unless the Named Officer reasonably and in good faith believes such specific direction to be unlawful (in which case the Company’s termination of the Named Officer’s employment shall not be for Cause under this provision); or

	(6)		engages in any conduct which breaches his fiduciary duty to the Company, which materially injures the integrity, character or reputation of the Company or which impugns Named Officer's own integrity, character or reputation so as to cause Named Officer to be unfit to act in the capacity of an executive officer of the Company.

	A termination of employment by the Company for Cause under subparagraphs (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) shall be effectuated by the Board giving the Named Officer written notice of the termination within 30 days of the event constituting Cause, or such longer period as the parties may agree, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Named Officer that constitutes Cause, the specific provisions of the Form Employment Agreement on which the Company relies and, to the extent such Cause is susceptible to cure, providing the Named Officer with a 30 day cure period. If such Cause is susceptible to cure and the Named Officer fails to remedy the condition within such 30 day cure period, the Company may terminate the Named Officer’s employment within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Company fails to so terminate the Named Officer’s employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Cause.

“Change in Control” has the meaning given to it under the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan; provided, however, a “Change in Control” under the Form Employment Agreement is not intended to be broader than the definition of a “Change in Control event” as defined by reference to the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the severance payments payable under the Form Employment Agreement in the event of a Change in Control shall not be payable unless the applicable Change in Control constitutes a Change in Control event in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

“Disability” means the Named Officer, as a result of illness or incapacity, shall be unable to perform substantially his required duties for a period of 180 consecutive days; provided, however, that if the Named Officer, after being unable to perform substantially his required duties for a period of less than 180 consecutive days as a result of illness or incapacity returns to active duty for less than 30 days, the period of such active duty will be disregarded in determining whether the 180 consecutive day threshold has been accumulated (although it will not be accumulated as part of the 180 day period).

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

	(1)		demotion of the Named Officer by the Company to a non-executive officer position (including a material diminution in the status of the Named Officer’s responsibilities, authorities, powers or duties taken as a whole) or assignment to the Named Officer of any duties materially inconsistent with his position, status or responsibilities under this Agreement;

	(2)		material breach of any provision of the Form Employment Agreement by the Company; or

	(3)		decrease in the Named Officer’s base salary as in effect on the date of the Named Officer’s Form Employment Agreement in an amount equal to or greater than 10% (unless such decrease is applied on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers of the Company) (an “Applicable Decrease”), but only if the Named Officer terminates his employment with the Company as a result of an Applicable Decrease within 15 business days of the later of (i) the effective date of the Applicable Decrease, or (ii) the Named Officer’s actual knowledge of Applicable Decrease (“Applicable Decrease Date”). For clarification purposes, should the Named Officer fail to terminate his employment with the Company within 15 business days of the Applicable Decrease Date, such termination shall not constitute termination of employment by the Named Officer for Good Reason under this provision.

A-2

A termination of employment by the Named Officer for Good Reason under subparagraph (1) or (2) shall be effectuated by giving the Company written notice of the termination within 30 days of the event constituting Good Reason, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Company that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provisions of the Form Employment Agreement on which Named Officer relies and providing the Company with a 30 day period during which it may remedy the condition constituting Good Reason. If the Company fails to remedy the condition within such 30 day period, the Named Officer must terminate his employment within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Named Officer fails to so terminate his employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Good Reason.

Under the Gustafsson Employment Agreement.

As determined by the Board in its sole discretion, Mr. Gustafsson shall be deemed terminated for “Cause” if the Board terminates him after he:

	(1)		shall have committed, been indicted of, or been convicted of, or admitted, plea bargained, entered a plea of no contest or nolo contendere to, any felony of any kind or a misdemeanor, or violated any laws, involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude;

	(2)		shall have materially breached the Gustafsson Employment Agreement or certain other agreements between Mr. Gustafsson and the Company;

	(3)		shall have materially violated any written Company policy, regardless of whether within or outside the scope of his authority;

	(4)		shall have committed willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or dishonest, fraudulent or unethical behavior, or other conduct involving serious moral turpitude in the performance of his duties hereunder;

	(5)		shall have failed or refused to materially comply (to the best of his ability) with a specific direction of the Board, unless Mr. Gustafsson reasonably and in good faith believes such specific direction to be unlawful (in which case the Company’s termination of Mr. Gustafsson’s employment shall not be for Cause under this provision); or

	(6)		engages in any conduct which breaches his fiduciary duty to the Company, which materially injures the integrity, character or reputation of the Company or which impugns Mr. Gustafsson's own integrity, character or reputation so as to cause Mr. Gustafsson to be unfit to act in the capacity of CEO of the Company.

	A termination of employment by the Company for Cause under subparagraphs (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) shall be effectuated by the Board giving Mr. Gustafsson written notice of the termination within 30 days of the event constituting Cause, or such longer period as the parties may agree, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of Mr. Gustafsson that constitutes Cause, the specific provisions of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement on which the Company relies and, to the extent such Cause is susceptible to cure, providing Mr. Gustafsson with a 30 day cure period. If such Cause is susceptible to cure and Mr. Gustafsson fails to remedy the condition within such 30 day cure period, the Company may terminate Mr. Gustafsson’s employment within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Company fails to so terminate Mr. Gustafsson’s employment, any subsequent termination based upon the identical underlying facts and circumstances shall not constitute a termination for Cause.

A-3

“Disability” means Mr. Gustafsson, as a result of illness or incapacity, shall be unable to perform substantially his required duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days; provided, however, that if Mr. Gustafsson, after being unable to perform substantially his required duties for a period of less than 180 consecutive days as a result of illness or incapacity returns to active duty for less than 30 days, the period of such active duty will be disregarded in determining whether the 180 consecutive day threshold has been accumulated (although it will not be accumulated as part of the 180 day period).

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

	(1)		demotion of Mr. Gustafsson by the Company to a lesser position (including a material diminution in the status of Mr. Gustafsson’s responsibilities, authorities, powers or duties taken as a whole) or assignment to Mr. Gustafsson of any duties materially inconsistent with his position, status or responsibilities under the Gustafsson Employment Agreement;

	(2)		material breach of any provision of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement by the Company; or

	(3)		decrease in Mr. Gustafsson’s base salary as in effect on the date of Mr. Gustafsson’s Employment Agreement (unless such decrease is applied on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers of the Company) (an “Applicable Decrease”), but only if Mr. Gustafsson terminates his employment with the Company as a result of an Applicable Decrease within fifteen (15) business days of the later of (i) the effective date of the Applicable Decrease, or (ii) Mr. Gustafsson’s actual knowledge of Applicable Decrease (“Applicable Decrease Date”). For clarification purposes, should Mr. Gustafsson fail to terminate his employment with the Company within fifteen (15) business days of the Applicable Decrease Date, such termination shall not constitute termination of employment by Mr. Gustafsson for Good Reason under this provision.

	A termination of employment by Mr. Gustafsson for Good Reason under subparagraph (1) or (2) shall be effectuated by giving the Company written notice of the termination within 30 days of the event constituting Good Reason, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Company that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provisions of the Gustafsson Employment Agreement on which Mr. Gustafsson relies and providing the Company with a 30 day period during which it may remedy the condition constituting Good Reason. If the Company fails to remedy the condition within such 30 day period, Mr. Gustafsson must terminate his employment within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period, and if Mr. Gustafsson fails to so terminate his employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Good Reason.

Under the Kaplan Consulting Agreement.

“Change in Control” means:

	(1)		A Change in the Ownership of the Company. A change in ownership of the Company shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a Group (as defined below), acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that, if any one person, or more than one person acting as a Group, is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company;

		(b)		an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;
