be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

which indicates that all the shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all the shares of the Company's Common Stock then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; (such documents and the documents enumerated above being hereinafter
referred to as "Incorporated Documents"); provided however, that the documents enumerated above or subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act in each year during which the offering made by this Registration Statement is in effect prior to the filing with the Commission of the Company's Annual Report on

modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of the Registration Statement.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law contains detailed provisions for indemnification of directors and officers of Delaware corporations
against expenses, judgments, fines and settlements in connection with litigation.
The
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and its Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance Policy provide for indemnification of the directors and officers of
the Company against certain liabilities.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Reference is made to the Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)    The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)    To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)    To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)    To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)    To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)    That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3
(3)    To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)    The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)    Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The
Israeli Securities Authority on August 5, 1999, pursuant to the power given it according to Section 41 of the Israeli Securities Law-1968 decided to exempt
Motorola, Inc. from filing a prospectus regarding Motorola's offer of its shares of common stock under the Motorola Employee Stock Purchase Plan of 1999 to eligible Israeli employees of
Motorola's qualified subsidiaries in Israel.
