Item 1.
Business
The Company
We are a global leader in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (“AIDC”) market. The AIDC market consists of mobile computing, data capture, radio frequency identification devices ( “RFID” ), barcode printing, and other automation products and services. The Company’s solutions are proven to help our customers and end-users achieve their mission critical strategic business objectives, including improved operational efficiency, optimized workflows, increased asset utilization, and better customer experiences.

We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of AIDC products, including: mobile computers, barcode scanners, RFID readers, specialty printers for barcode labeling and personal identification, real-time location systems (“RTLS”), related accessories and supplies, such as self-adhesive labels and other consumables, and software utilities and applications. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, managed and professional services, including cloud-based subscriptions. End-users of our products and services include retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, health care, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, government, and education enterprises around the world. We provide our products and services globally through a direct sales force and extensive network of channel

Table of Contents

partners. We provide products and services in over 180 countries, with 114 facilities and approximately 7,000 employees worldwide.

Through innovative application of our technologies, we are leading an evolution of the AIDC market into Enterprise Asset Intelligence (“EAI”). Specifically, EAI encompasses solutions which “sense” information from enterprise assets, including packages moving through a supply chain, equipment in a factory, workers in a warehouse, and shoppers in a store. Operational data from enterprise assets, including status, location, utilization, and preferences, is then analyzed to provide actionable insights. Finally, with the benefits of mobility, these insights can be delivered to the right user at the right time to drive more effective actions. As a result, our solutions and technologies enable enterprises to “sense, analyze, and act” more effectively to improve operational effectiveness and achieve critical business objectives.

The evolution of the AIDC market toward a more strategically oriented EAI focus is being driven by strong underlying secular trends in technology. These trends include internet of things ( “IoT” ), cloud-based data analytics, and mobility. The IoT is enabling a proliferation of smart, connected devices. EAI solutions, which include these smart, connected devices, capture a much broader range of information than is possible with traditional AIDC solutions and communicate this information in real-time. Cloud computing and expanded data analytics are allowing enterprises to make better business decisions through improved timeliness and visibility to information and workflows. While traditional AIDC solutions sporadically capture limited amounts of data and populate static enterprise systems, EAI solutions continuously analyze real-time data from many sources to generate actionable insights. Finally, the continued rapid growth of mobile devices and applications are significantly expanding mobile computing use cases to levels of near ubiquity in the enterprise. With this expanded mobility, end-users are able to consume or act upon dynamic enterprise data and information anytime and anywhere. The broad availability of wireless and internet connectivity also supports the adoption and deployment of the Company’s solutions to enable organizations to collect more data in real-time on the location, movement, and condition of their assets.

Integration of Enterprise Business
In October 2014, the Company acquired the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”), excluding its iDEN or Integrated Digital Enhanced Network Business, from Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“MSI”) for $3.45 billion in cash (the “Acquisition”).

The Company funded the Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand of $250 million, the sale of 7.25% senior notes due 2022 in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion (the “Senior Notes”), and a credit agreement with various lenders that provided a term loan of $2.2 billion (the “Term Loan”) due 2021. During 2017, the Company executed a debt restructuring program, which included entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“A&R Credit Agreement”) facility and a receivables financing facility which resulted in the redemption of the Senior Notes and a lower cost of debt.

Since closing the Acquisition in October 2014, integration activities by the Company have focused on creating “One Zebra” by integrating the operations of Enterprise to create a single business with common sales, service, supply chain, marketing, finance, information technology (“IT”), and other functions. Our integration priorities centered on maintaining business continuity while identifying and implementing cost synergies, operating efficiencies, and integration of functional organizations and processes. Another key focus of the integration was to conclude MSI-provided transition service agreements (“TSAs”) related primarily to IT support services. These TSAs were an interim measure to continue the operations of the Enterprise business without disruption while integration activities were completed.

During 2017, the Company substantially completed its integration activities, including the implementation of a common enterprise resource planning system, associated with the Acquisition. The Company also exited the TSAs with MSI.

Dispositions
On October 28, 2016, the Company concluded its Asset Purchase Agreement with Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) whereby the Company sold its wireless LAN (“WLAN”) business (“Divestiture Group”) for a gross purchase price of $55 million. See Note 3, Business Combinations and Divestitures .

Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patents, trademarks, copyrights, and contractual rights to establish and protect our innovations, and hold a large portfolio of intellectual property rights in the United States and other countries. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company owned approximately 1,600 trademark registrations and trademark applications, and approximately 4,300 patents and patent applications, worldwide. We continue to actively seek to obtain patents and trademarks, whenever possible and practical, to secure intellectual property rights in our innovations.

We believe that our intellectual property will continue to provide us with a competitive advantage in our core product areas as well as provide leverage for future technologies. We also believe that we are not dependent upon any single patent or select group of patents. Our success depends more upon our extensive know-how, deep understanding of end-user processes and workflows, innovative culture, technical leadership and marketing and sales abilities. Although we do not rely only on patents or other intellectual property rights to protect or establish our market position, we will enforce our intellectual property rights when and where appropriate.

Employees
As of December 31, 2017 , the Company employed approximately 7,000 persons. Some portions of our business, primarily in Europe and China, are subject to labor laws that differ significantly from those in the United States. In Europe, for example, it is common for a works council to represent employees when discussing matters such as compensation, benefits, restructurings and layoffs. We consider our relations with our employees to be very good.
Regulatory Matters

Table of Contents

Wireless Regulatory Matters
Our business is subject to certain wireless regulatory matters.
The use of wireless voice, data, and video communications systems requires radio spectrum, which is regulated by government agencies throughout the world. In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (“NTIA”) regulate spectrum use by non-federal entities and federal entities, respectively. Similarly, countries around the world have one or more regulatory bodies that define and implement the rules for use of the radio spectrum, pursuant to their respective national laws and international coordination under the International Telecommunications Union. We manufacture and market products in spectrum bands already made available by regulatory bodies- these include voice and data infrastructure, mobile radios, and portable or hand-held devices. Consequently, our results of operations could be positively or negatively affected by the rules and regulations adopted from time-to-time by the FCC, NTIA, or regulatory agencies in other countries. Our products operate both on licensed and unlicensed spectrum. The availability of additional radio spectrum may provide new business opportunities, and consequently, the loss of available radio spectrum may result in the loss of business opportunities. Regulatory changes in current spectrum bands may also provide opportunities or may require modifications to some products so they can continue to be manufactured and marketed.
Other Regulatory Matters
Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state, local, and international laws governing the environment and worker health and safety, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the ground, air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. Certain products are subject to various federal, state, local, and international laws governing chemical substances in electronic products. During 2017 , compliance with U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment did not have a material effect on our business or results of operations.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other factors described below, as well as other disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, because they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, and growth prospects. These risks are not the only risks we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial.
We have organized the risk factors into two sections: (1) Risks related to our business; and (2) Risks related to our Indebtedness.
Risks related to our business

The Company has substantial operations and sells a significant portion of our products outside of the U.S. and purchases important components, including final products, from suppliers located outside the U.S. Shipments to non-U.S. customers are expected to continue to account for a material portion of net sales. We also expect to continue the use of third-party contract manufacturing services with non-U.S. production and assembly operations for our products.

Risks associated with operations, sales, and purchases outside the United States include:

Fluctuating foreign currency rates could restrict sales, increase costs of purchasing, and impact collection of receivables outside of the U.S.;
Volatility in foreign credit markets may affect the financial well-being of our customers and suppliers;
Violations of anti-corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act could result in large fines and penalties;
Adverse changes in, or uncertainty of, local business laws or practices, including the following:
Foreign governments may impose burdensome tariffs, quotas, taxes, trade barriers, or capital flow restrictions;
Restrictions on the export or import of technology may reduce or eliminate the ability to sell in or purchase from certain markets;
Political and economic instability may reduce demand for our products or put our non-U.S. assets at risk;
Potentially limited intellectual property protection in certain countries may limit recourse against infringing on our products or cause us to refrain from selling in certain geographic territories;
Staffing may be difficult along with higher turnover at international operations;
A government controlled exchange rate and limitations on the convertibility of currencies, including the Chinese yuan;
Transportation delays and customs related delays that may affect production and distribution of our products;

Effectively managing and overseeing operations that are distant and remote from corporate headquarters may be difficult; and
Integration and enforcement of laws varies significantly among jurisdictions and may change significantly over time.
The Company may not be able to continue to develop products or solutions to address user needs effectively in an industry characterized by ongoing change. To be successful, we must adapt to rapidly changing technological and application needs by continually improving our products, as well as introducing new products and services, to address user demands.
The Company’s industry is characterized by:
 
Evolving industry standards;
Frequent new product and service introductions;
Evolving distribution channels;
Increasing demand for customized product and software solutions;
Changing customer demands; and
Changing security protocols.
Future success will depend on our ability to effectively and economically adapt in this evolving environment. We could incur substantial costs if we must modify our business to adapt to these changes, and may even be unable to adapt to these changes.
The Company participates in a competitive industry, which may become more competitive. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technology and changes in customer requirements. We face significant competition in developing and selling our products and solutions. To remain competitive, we believe we must continue to effectively and economically provide:
 
Technologically advanced systems that satisfy user demands;
Superior customer service;
High levels of quality and reliability; and
Dependable and efficient distribution networks.
We cannot assure we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. Increased competition in mobile computing products, data capture products, printers, or supplies may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins, and loss of market share, and could require increased spending on research and development, sales and marketing, and customer support. Some competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships with suppliers or companies that produce complementary products, which may create additional pressures on our competitive position in the marketplace.
The Company is vulnerable to the potential difficulties associated with the increase in the complexity of our business . We have grown rapidly over the last several years through the Acquisition and worldwide growth. This growth has caused increased complexities in the business. We believe our future success depends in part on our ability to manage our growth and increased complexities of our business. The following factors could present difficulties to us:
 
Managing our distribution channel partners;
Managing our contract manufacturing and supply chain;
Manufacturing an increased number of products;
Increased administrative and operational burden;
Maintaining and improving information technology infrastructure to support growth;
Increased logistical problems common to complex, expansive operations;
Increasing international operations; and
Attract, develop and retain individuals with the requisite technical expertise to develop new technologies and introduce new products and solutions.
Inability to consummate future acquisitions at appropriate prices could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price. Our ability to expand revenues, earnings, and cash flow depends in part upon our ability to identify and successfully acquire and integrate businesses at appropriate prices and to realize anticipated synergies. Acquisitions can be difficult to identify and consummate due to competition among prospective buyers and the need to satisfy applicable closing conditions and obtain antitrust and other regulatory approval on acceptable terms.

The Company could encounter difficulties in any acquisition it undertakes, including unanticipated integration problems and business disruption. Acquisitions could also dilute stockholder value and adversely affect operating results. We may acquire or make investments in other businesses, technologies, services, or products. An acquisition may present business issues which are new to us. The process of integrating any acquired business, technology, service, or product into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Integration of an acquired company also may consume considerable management time and attention, which could otherwise be available for ongoing operations and the further development of our existing business. These and other factors may result in benefits of an acquisition not being fully realized.
Acquisitions also may involve a number of risks, including:
 
Difficulties and uncertainties in retaining the customers or other business relationships from the acquired entities;
The loss of key employees of acquired entities;
The ability of acquired entities to fulfill their customers’ obligations;
The discovery of unanticipated issues or liabilities;
Pre-closing and post-closing acquisition-related earnings charges could adversely impact operating results and cash flows in any given period, and the impact may be substantially different from period to period;
The failure of acquired entities to meet or exceed expected returns could result in impairment of goodwill or intangible assets acquired;
The acquired entities’ ability to implement internal controls and accounting systems necessary to be compliant with requirements applicable to public companies subject to SEC reporting, which could result in misstated financial reports; and
Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities.
Infringement by the Company or our suppliers on the proprietary rights of others could put us at a competitive disadvantage, and any related litigation could be time consuming and costly. Third parties may claim that we or our suppliers violated their intellectual property rights. To the extent of a violation of a third-party’s patent or other intellectual property right, we may be prevented from operating our business as planned, and may be required to pay damages, to obtain a license, if available, or to use a non-infringing method, if possible, to accomplish our objectives. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and divert the attention of key personnel. If such claims are successful, they could result in costly judgments or settlements. Also, as new technologies emerge the intellectual property rights of parties in such technologies can be uncertain. As a result, our products involving such technologies may have higher risk of claims of infringement of the intellectual proprietary rights of third parties.
The inability to protect intellectual property could harm our reputation, and our competitive position may be materially damaged. Our intellectual property is valuable and provides us with certain competitive advantages. We use copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and contracts to protect these proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, third parties may be able to copy or reproduce aspects of our intellectual property and our products or, without authorization, to misappropriate and use information, which we regard as trade secrets. Additionally, the intellectual property rights we obtain may not be sufficient to provide us with a competitive advantage and may be successfully challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or infringed. In any infringement litigation that the Company may undertake to protect our intellectual property, any award of monetary damages may be unlikely or very difficult to obtain, and any such award we may receive may not be commercially valuable. Furthermore, efforts to enforce or protect our proprietary rights may be ineffective and could result in the invalidation or narrowing of the scope of our intellectual property and incurring substantial litigation costs. Because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of the Company’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. Some aspects of our business and services also rely on technologies, software, and content developed by or licensed from third parties, and we may not be able to maintain our relationships with such third parties or enter into similar relationships in the future on reasonable terms or at all.
We currently use third party and/or open source operating systems and associated application ecosystems in certain of our products. Such parties ceasing continued development of the operating system or restricting our access to such operating system could adversely impact our business and financial results. We are dependent on third-parties’ continued development of operating systems, software application ecosystem infrastructures, and such third-parties’ approval of our implementations of their operating system and associated applications. If such parties cease to continue development or support of such operating systems or restrict our access to such operating systems, we would be required to change our strategy for such devices. As a result, our financial results could be negatively impacted because a resulting shift away from the operating systems we currently use and the associated applications ecosystem could be costly and difficult. A strategy shift could increase the burden of development on the Company and potentially create a gap in our portfolio for a period of time, which could competitively disadvantage us.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations. Like many companies, we continually strive to meet industry information security standards relevant to our business. We periodically perform vulnerability assessments, remediate vulnerabilities, review log/access, perform system maintenance, manage network perimeter protection, implement and manage disaster recovery testing, and provide periodic educational sessions to our employees to foster awareness of schemes to access sensitive information. A cybersecurity incident could include an attempt to gain unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. “Phishing” and other types of attempts to obtain unauthorized information or access are often sophisticated and difficult to detect or defeat.
A cybersecurity incident, including deliberate attacks and unintentional events, may lead to a material disruption of our core business systems, the loss or corruption of confidential business information and/or the disclosure of personal data that in each case could result in an adverse business impact, as well as, possible damage to our brand. This could also lead to a public disclosure or theft of private intellectual property and a possible loss of customer confidence.
While we have experienced and expect to continue to experience these types of threats and incidents, there have been no material incidents incurred to-date at the Company. If our core business operations, or that of one of our third-party service providers, were to be breached, this could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and data. While we continue to perform security due diligence, there is always the possibility of a significant breach affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and/or data.

Our products that are deployed in customer environments also have the possibility of being breached, which could result in damage to a customer’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the customer’s data and systems. It is possible that such a breach could result in delays in, or loss of market acceptance of, our products and services; diversion of our resources; injury to our reputation; increased service and warranty expenses; and payment of damages. To date, we have had no material incidents related to the security on our products.

Laws and regulations relating to the handling of personal data may result in increased costs, legal claims, or fines against the Company. As part of our operations, the Company collects, uses, stores, and transfers personal data of third parties and employees in and across jurisdictions. The governing bodies in such jurisdictions have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, transfer, storage and disclosure of personal data obtained from third parties and employees; for example, General Data Protection Regulation effective May 2018. These laws may result in burdensome or inconsistent requirements affecting the collection, use, storage, transfer and disclosure of our third party and employee personal data. Compliance may require changes in services, business practices, or internal systems that result in increased costs, lower revenue, reduced efficiency, or greater difficulty in competing with foreign-based firms. Failure to comply with existing or new rules may result in claims against the Company or significant penalties or orders to stop the alleged noncompliant activity.

We may incur liabilities as a result of product failures due to actual or apparent design or manufacturing defects . We may be subject to product liability claims, which could include claims for property or economic damage or personal injury, in the event our products present actual or apparent design or manufacturing defects. Such design or manufacturing defects may occur not only in our own designed products but also in components provided by third party suppliers. We generally have insurance protection against property damage and personal injury liabilities and also seek to limit such risk through product design, manufacturing quality control processes, product testing and contractual indemnification from suppliers. However, due to the large and growing size of the Company’s installed product base, a design or manufacturing defect involving this large installed product base could result in product recalls or customer service costs that could have material adverse effects on our financial results.
Defects or errors in the Company’s software products could harm our reputation, result in significant cost to us, and impair our ability to market such products. Our software may contain undetected errors, defects, or bugs. Although we have not suffered significant harm from any errors, defects, or bugs to date, we may discover significant errors, defects, or bugs in the future that we may not be able to correct or correct in a timely manner. It is possible that errors, defects, or bugs will be found in our existing or future software products and related services with the possible results of delays in, or loss of market acceptance of, our products and services, diversion of our resources, injury to our reputation, increased service and warranty expenses, and payment of damages.
We depend on the ongoing services of our senior management and the ability to attract and retain key personnel. The future success of the Company is substantially dependent on the continued services and continuing contributions of senior management and other key personnel. The ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled employees is important to our long-term success. Competition for skill sets in certain functions within our industry is intense, and we may be unable to retain key employees or attract, assimilate, or retain other highly qualified employees in the future. Any disruption in the services of senior management or our ability to attract and retain key personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Terrorist attacks or war could lead to further economic instability and adversely affect the Company’s stock price, operations, and profitability. The terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001 caused major instability in the U.S. and other financial markets. Since then, a number of significant acts of terrorism have occurred, and war continues in the Middle East, all of which may contribute to instability in financial markets. Additional acts of terrorism and current and future war risks could have a similar impact. Any such attacks could, among other things, cause further instability in financial markets and could directly, or indirectly through reduced demand, negatively affect our facilities and operations or those of our customers or suppliers.

The impact of potential changes in customs and trade policies in the United States and the potential corresponding actions by other countries in which the Company does business could adversely affect our financial performance. The U.S. government has made proposals that are intended to address trade imbalances, which include encouraging increased production in the United States. These proposals could result in increased customs duties and the renegotiation of some U.S. trade agreements. The Company imports a significant percentage of our products into the United States, and an increase in customs duties with respect to these imports could negatively impact the Company’s financial performance. If such customs duties are implemented, it also may cause the U.S.’ trading partners to take actions with respect to U.S. imports or U.S. investment activities in their respective countries. Any potential changes in trade policies in the United States and the potential corresponding actions by other countries in which the Company does business could adversely affect the Company’s financial performance. Given the level of uncertainty over which provisions will be enacted, the Company cannot predict with certainty the impact of the proposals.

The effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our business have not yet been fully analyzed and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations . On December 22, 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The TCJA, among other things, includes changes to U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest, allows for the accelerated expensing of capital expenditures, and puts into effect the migration from a “worldwide” system of taxation to a territorial system. We continue to analyze the impact the TCJA may have on the Company’s business. Notwithstanding the reduction in the U.S federal corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the TCJA is uncertain, and the Company’s business and financial condition could be adversely affected. We describe the estimated impact of the TCJA on our business where appropriate throughout this Form 10-K, and specifically in Note 12, Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.
Taxing authority challenges may lead to tax payments exceeding current reserves. We are subject to, and may become subject to, ongoing tax examinations in various jurisdictions. As a result, we may record incremental tax expense based on expected outcomes of such matters. In addition, we may adjust previously reported tax reserves based on expected results of these examinations. Such adjustments could result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s effective tax rate and cash flows. Future changes in tax law in various jurisdictions around the world and income tax holidays could have a material impact on our effective tax rate, foreign rate differential, future income tax expense, and cash flows.

Forecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there may be material differences between our forecasted and actual tax rates. Forecasts of our income tax position and effective tax rate are complex, subject to uncertainty and periodic updates because our income tax position for each year combines the effects of a mix of profits earned and losses incurred by us in various tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income tax rates, as well as changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the impact of various accounting rules and changes to these rules and tax laws, the results of examinations by various tax authorities, and the impact of any acquisition, business combination, disposition or other reorganization, or financing transaction.

As a multinational corporation, we conduct our business in many countries and are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. The taxation of our business is subject to the application of multiple and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations, as well as multinational tax conventions. Many countries are adopting revisions to their respective tax laws based on the on-going reports issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”)/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Project, which, if enacted, could materially impact our tax liability due to our organizational structure and significant operations outside of the U.S. Our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings or losses resulting from our structure and operating model, the tax regulations and tax holidays in each geographic region, and the availability of tax credits and carry-forwards. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment, and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against us that could materially impact our tax liability and/or our effective income tax rate.

Economic conditions and financial market disruptions may adversely affect our business and results of operations . Adverse economic conditions or reduced information technology spending may adversely impact our business.  General disruption of financial markets and a related general economic downturn could adversely affect our business and financial condition through a reduction in demand for our products by our customers. If a slowdown were severe enough, it could require further impairment testing and write-downs of goodwill and other intangible assets. Cost reduction actions may be necessary and might lead to restructuring charges. A tightening of financial credit could adversely affect our customers, suppliers, outsourced manufacturers, and channel partners (e.g., distributors and resellers) from obtaining adequate credit for the financing of significant purchases. An economic downturn could also result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services; negatively impacting the ability to collect accounts receivable on a timely basis; result in additional reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable; and require additional reserves for inventory obsolescence. Higher volatility and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for the U.S. dollar against currencies such as the euro, the British pound, the Chinese yuan , and the Brazilian real could negatively impact product sales, margins, and cash flows.

A natural disaster may cause supply disruptions that could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Natural disasters may occur in the future, and the Company is not able to predict to what extent or duration any such disruptions will have on our ability to maintain ordinary business operations. The consequences of an unfortunate natural disaster may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Zebra could be adversely impacted by the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.  Zebra maintains its European regional headquarters and a label converting facility in the U.K. and has significant operations and sales throughout Europe. Although the U.K. has formally notified the E.U. of its intention to withdraw, such notice only triggered a two-year period ending in March 2019 to negotiate the terms of the withdrawal, which period could be followed by a transition period. Because the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal are uncertain, we are unable at this time to determine the impact on Zebra’s operations and business in the U.K. and Europe. Since the U.K.’s referendum in June 2016 to withdraw from the E.U., markets have been more volatile, including fluctuations in the British pound, that could adversely impact Zebra’s operating costs in the U.K. Such market volatility could also cause customers to alter or delay buying decisions that would adversely impact Zebra’s sales in the U.K. and throughout Europe. A significant portion of our business involves cross border transactions throughout the region. The future trade relationship between the U.K. and the E.U. could adversely impact Zebra’s operations in the region by increasing costs on or importation requirements on shipments between our distribution center in the Netherlands and customers in the U.K. or between our facility in the U.K. and customers in the E.U.

We are exposed to risks under large, multi-year system and solutions and services contracts that may negatively impact our business. We enter into large, multi-year system and solutions and services contracts with our customers. This exposes us to risks, including among others: (i) technological risks, especially when the contracts involve new technology; (ii) financial risks, including the estimates inherent in projecting costs associated with large, long-term contracts and the related impact on operating results; and (iii) cyber security risk, especially in managed services contracts with customers that process personal data. Recovery of front loaded capital expenditures in long-term managed services contracts with customers is dependent on the continued viability of such customers. The insolvency of customers could result in a loss of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program or product, which could have an adverse impact on our profitability.
We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event we fail to properly estimate our costs. If our initial cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. Because many of these contracts involve new technologies and applications and require the Company to engage subcontractors and can last multiple years, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, problems with our subcontractors or suppliers and other cost overruns, can result in the contract pricing becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to us and have an adverse impact on our financial results. In addition, a significant increase in inflation rates could have an adverse impact on the profitability of longer-term contracts.
We utilize the services of subcontractors to perform under many of our contracts and the inability of our subcontractors to perform in a timely and compliant manner could negatively impact our performance obligations as the prime contractor. We engage subcontractors on many of our contracts and as we expand our global solutions and services business, our use of subcontractors has and will continue to increase. Our subcontractors may further subcontract performance and may supply third-party products and software. We may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor or our subcontractors and the functionality, warranty and indemnities of products, software, and services supplied by our subcontractor. We are not always successful in passing along customer requirements to our subcontractors, and thus in some cases may be required to absorb contractual risks from our customers without corresponding back-to-back coverage from our subcontractor. Our subcontractors may not be able to acquire or maintain the quality of the materials, components, subsystems and services they supply, or secure preferred warranty and indemnity coverage from their suppliers which might result in greater product returns, service problems, warranty claims and costs and regulatory compliance issues and could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Over the last several years we have outsourced portions of certain business operations such as repair, distribution, engineering services and information technology services and may outsource additional business operations, which limits our control over these business operations and exposes us to additional risk as a result of the actions of our outsource partners. When we outsource certain business operations, we are not able to directly control these activities. Our outsource partners may not prioritize our business over that of their other customers and they may not meet our desired level of service, cost reductions, or other metrics. In some cases, their actions may result in our being found to be in violation of laws or regulations like import or export regulations. As many of our outsource partners operate outside of the U.S., our outsourcing activity exposes us to information security vulnerabilities and increases our global risks. In addition, we are exposed to the financial viability of our outsource partners. Once a business activity is outsourced, we may be contractually prohibited from, or may not practically be able to, bring such activity back within the Company or move it to another outsource partner. The actions of our outsource partners could result in reputational damage to us and could negatively impact our financial results.
Failure of our suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers, and representatives to use acceptable legal or ethical business practices could negatively impact our business. It is our policy to require suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers, and third-party sales representatives (“TPSRs”) to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices, environmental compliance, anti-corruption, and trademark and copyright licensing. However, we do not control their labor and other business practices. If one of our suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers, or TPSRs violates labor or other laws or implements labor or other business practices that are regarded as unethical, the shipment of finished products to us could be interrupted, orders could be canceled, relationships could be terminated, and our reputation could be damaged. If one of our suppliers or subcontractors fails to procure necessary license rights to trademarks, copyrights, or patents, legal action could be taken against us that could impact the saleability of the Company’s products and expose us to financial obligations to a third-party. Any of these events could have a negative impact on our sales and results of operations.
We rely on third-party dealers, distributors, and resellers to sell many of our products. In addition to our own sales force, we offer our products through a variety of third-party dealers, distributors, and resellers. These third-parties may also market other products that compete with our products. Failure of one or more of our dealers, distributors, or resellers to effectively promote our products could affect our ability to bring products to market and have a negative impact on our results of operations. As the Company refines our channel program, some of our third-party dealers, distributors or resellers may exit the program due to modifications to the program structure, thereby reducing our ability to bring products to market and have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Some of these third-parties are smaller and more likely to be impacted by a significant decrease in available credit that could result from a weakness in the financial markets. If credit pressures or other financial difficulties result in insolvency for third-party dealers, distributors, or retailers and we are unable to successfully transition end-customers to purchase our products from other third-parties or from us directly, it may cause, and in some cases, has caused, a negative impact on our financial results.
Final assembly of certain of our products is performed by third-party electronics manufacturers. We may be dependent on these third-party electronics manufacturers as a sole-source of supply for the manufacture of such products. A failure by such manufacturers to provide manufacturing services to us as we require, or any disruption in such manufacturing services up to and including a catastrophic shut-down, may adversely affect our business results. Because we rely on these third-party electronics manufacturers to manufacture our products, we may incur increased business continuity risks. We are not able to exercise direct control over the assembly or related operations of certain of our products. If these third-party manufacturers experience business difficulties or fail to meet our manufacturing needs, then we may be unable to satisfy customer product demands, lose sales, and be unable to maintain customer relationships. Longer production lead times may result in shortages of certain products and inadequate inventories during periods of unanticipated higher demand. Without such third parties continuing to manufacture our products, we may have no other means of final assembly of certain of our products until we are able to secure the manufacturing capability at another facility or develop an alternative manufacturing facility. This transition could be costly and time consuming.
Although we carry business interruption insurance to cover lost sales and profits in an amount it considers adequate, in the event of supply disruption, this insurance does not cover all possible situations. In addition, the business interruption insurance would not compensate us for the loss of opportunity and potential adverse impact, both short-term and long-term, on relations with our existing customers going forward.
Our future operating results depend on our ability to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components, as well as services and software to meet the demands of customers. We source some of our components from sole source suppliers. Any disruption to our suppliers or significant increase in the price of supplies could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Our ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on our ability to obtain in a timely manner an adequate

16

Table of Contents

delivery of quality materials, parts, and components, as well as services and software from our suppliers. In addition, certain supplies are available only from a single source or limited sources and we may not be able to diversify sources in a timely manner. If demand for our products or services increases from our current expectations or if suppliers are unable to meet our demand for other reasons, including as a result of natural disasters or financial issues, we could experience an interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies that could have a negative impact on our business. We have experienced shortages in the past that have negatively impacted our results of operations and may experience such shortages in the future. Credit constraints at our suppliers could cause us to accelerate payment of accounts payable by us, impacting our cash flow.
In addition, our current contracts with certain suppliers may be canceled or not extended by such suppliers and, therefore, not afford us with sufficient protection against a reduction or interruption in supplies. Moreover, in the event any of these suppliers breach their contracts with us, our legal remedies associated with such a breach may be insufficient to compensate us for any damages it may suffer.
The unfavorable outcome of any pending or future litigation, arbitration, or administrative action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. From time to time we are a party to litigation, arbitration, or administrative actions. Our financial results and reputation could be negatively impacted by unfavorable outcomes to any pending or future litigation or administrative actions, including those related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, or other anti-corruption laws. There can be no assurances as to the favorable outcome of any litigation or administrative proceedings. In addition, it can be very costly to defend litigation or administrative proceedings and these costs could negatively impact our financial results.
It is important that we are able to obtain many different types of insurance, and if we are not able to obtain insurance or exhaust our coverage we may be forced to retain the risk. We have many types of insurance coverage and are also self-insured for some risks and obligations. While the cost and availability of most insurance is stable, there are still certain types and levels of insurance that remain difficult to obtain, such as professional liability insurance, which is expensive to obtain for the amount of coverage often requested by certain customers. As we grow our global solutions and services business, we are being asked to obtain higher amounts of professional liability insurance, which could result in higher costs to do business. Natural disasters and certain risks arising from securities claims, professional liability, and public liability are potential self-insured events that could negatively impact our financial results. In addition, while we maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs from an accident, incident, or claim.
We are subject to a wide range of product regulatory and safety, consumer, worker safety, and environmental laws. Our operations and the products we manufacture and/or sell are subject to a wide range of product regulatory and safety, consumer, worker safety, and environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with such existing or future laws and regulations could subject us to future costs or liabilities, impact our production capabilities, constrict our ability to sell, expand or acquire facilities, restrict what products and services we can offer, and generally impact our financial performance. Some of these laws are environmental and relate to the use, disposal, remediation, emission and discharge of, and exposure to hazardous substances. These laws often impose liability and can require parties to fund remedial studies or actions regardless of fault. We continue to incur disposal costs and have ongoing remediation obligations. Environmental laws have tended to become more stringent over time and any new obligations under these laws could have a negative impact on our operations or financial performance.
Laws focused on the energy efficiency of electronic products and accessories; recycling of both electronic products and packaging; reducing or eliminating certain hazardous substances in electronic products; and the transportation of batteries continue to expand significantly. Laws pertaining to accessibility features of electronic products, standardization of connectors and power supplies, the transportation of lithium-ion batteries, and other aspects are also proliferating. There are also demanding and rapidly changing laws around the globe related to issues such as product safety, radio interference, radio frequency radiation exposure, medical related functionality, and consumer and social mandates pertaining to use of wireless or electronic equipment. These laws, and changes to these laws, could have a substantial impact on whether we can offer certain products, solutions, and services, and on what capabilities and characteristics our products or services can or must include.
These laws impact our products and negatively affect our ability to manufacture and sell products competitively. We expect these trends to continue. In addition, we anticipate that it will see increased demand to meet voluntary criteria related to reduction or elimination of certain constituents from products, increasing energy efficiency, and providing additional accessibility.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting and to report on our assessment as to the effectiveness of these controls. Any negative reports concerning our internal controls

17

Table of Contents

could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition. We may discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that any remedial measures we take will ensure appropriate implementation and maintenance of adequate internal controls over the financial reporting processes and reporting in the future. We may incur significant additional costs in order to ensure we adequately remediate any weaknesses identified in our internal control environment, which, in turn, would reduce our earnings. Implementing any remedial measures may be complicated by the limited timeframe in which to implement such measures, and the possibility that implementation of such measures may require a substantial amount of work and time by our personnel.
Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. Failure to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. In addition, failure to comply with our reporting obligations with the SEC may cause an event of default to occur under the Debt Agreements, or similar instruments governing any debt we or our subsidiaries incur in the future.
We could be adversely impacted by changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters. Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our businesses, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, asset impairment, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, inventories, customer rebates and other customer consideration, tax matters, and litigation and other contingent liabilities are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition. New accounting guidance may also require systems and other changes that could increase our operating costs and/or change our financial statements. For example, implementing future accounting guidance related to revenue, accounting for leases and other areas could require us to make significant changes to our accounting systems, impact to existing Credit Agreements and could result in adverse changes to our financial statements.
Risks Related to our Indebtedness
In connection with the Acquisition, we incurred substantial debt obligations . Our total outstanding debt for borrowed money was approximately $3.25 billion on October 27, 2014. At December 31, 2017 , the remaining principal amount of indebtedness was $2.2 billion , gross of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs. In addition, subject to restrictions in agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness, we may incur additional indebtedness. Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:
 
We may experience difficulty in satisfying our obligations with respect to our existing indebtedness or future indebtedness;
Our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired;
We plan to use a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, which may reduce the funds available to ourselves for other purposes, such as acquisitions and capital expenditures;
We may be at a competitive disadvantage with reduced flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in the industry, including increased competition; and
We may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in the business.
We expect to fund our expenses and to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness from cash flow from operations. Our ability to meet our expenses and to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness when due depends on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, and other factors. We will not be able to control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate and pressure from competitors.
Despite our indebtedness, we may need to incur substantially more indebtedness and take other actions that could further exacerbate the risk associated with our existing indebtedness . At December 31, 2017 , the remaining principal amount of indebtedness was $2.2 billion , gross of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs. In addition to our current financing activities, we may need to incur substantially more indebtedness in the future, resulting in higher leverage. Subject to the limits contained in our Debt Agreements, we may incur additional indebtedness from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. To the extent we incur additional indebtedness, the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness will be exacerbated.

Our use of derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk may result in added volatility in our quarterly operating results . We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, we do utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk associated with our indebtedness. To manage variable interest rate risk, we entered into forward interest rate swap agreements, which will effectively convert a portion of our indebtedness into a fixed rate loan. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair values of the swap contracts, which will either be amounts receivable from or payable to counterparties, are reflected as either assets or liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record our fair value change in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as a component of “Other, net” if not hedged. The associated impact on our quarterly operating results is directly related to changes in prevailing interest rates. If interest rates increase, we would have a non-cash gain on the swaps, and vice versa in the event of a decrease in interest rates. Consequently, these swap contracts introduce complexity to our operating results.
Restrictive covenants in the Debt Agreements may limit our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to pursue our business strategies. The Debt Agreements contain, and instruments governing any future indebtedness may contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to take actions that we believe may be in our interest. We expect these covenants will limit our ability to:
incur additional indebtedness or guarantees;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock or prepay or redeem certain indebtedness;
sell or dispose of assets and issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;
incur liens or enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
engage in new lines of business;
consolidate, merge or enter into other fundamental changes;
make loans, investments and/or acquisitions; and
enter into amendments or modifications of certain material subordinated debt agreements or organizational documents.
Additionally, the debt instruments entered into to fund a portion of the Acquisition requires us to maintain in certain circumstances compliance with a consolidated total secured net leverage ratio. Our ability to comply with this ratio may be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet this ratio. The restrictions could adversely affect our ability to:
 
finance operations;
make needed capital expenditures;
make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter into alliances;
withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general;
engage in business activities, including future opportunities, that may be in our interest; and
plan for or react to market conditions or otherwise execute our business strategies.
A breach of any of the covenants contained in the Debt Agreements (including an inability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants) that is not remedied within the applicable cure period, if any, would result in an event of default under the Debt Agreements. If, when required, we are unable to repay or refinance our indebtedness or amend the covenants contained in the Debt Agreements, or if a default otherwise occurs that is not cured or waived, the lenders or holders of our debt could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable or institute foreclosure proceedings against those assets that secure the borrowings. Should the outstanding obligations be accelerated and become due and payable because of any failure to comply with the applicable covenants in the future, we would be required to search for alternative measures to finance current and ongoing obligations of our business. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of these scenarios could adversely impact our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant amount of cash will be required to service our indebtedness . Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund working capital needs, general corporate expenditures and planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate a significant amount of cash. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, business, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control.
If our business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations or if future borrowings are not available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we may not be able to affect

19

Table of Contents

any of these actions, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to restructure or refinance our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital and debt markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict business operations. The terms of anticipated or future debt instruments may limit or prevent us from taking any of these actions. In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and/or principal on outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to access additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy the obligations in respect of our indebtedness.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
The Company is a global leader respected for innovative EAI solutions in the automatic information and data capture solutions industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of products that capture and move data, including: mobile computers; barcode scanners and imagers; RFID readers; specialty printers for barcode labeling and personal identification; RTLS; related accessories and supplies, such as self-adhesive labels and other consumables; and software utilities and applications. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, and repair, managed and professional services, including cloud-based subscriptions. End-users of our products and services include those in the retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, government and education enterprises around the world. Benefits of our solutions include improved efficiency and workflow management, increased productivity and asset utilization, real-time, actionable enterprise information, and better customer experiences. We provide our products and services globally through a direct sales force and an extensive network of partners. We provide products and services in over 180 countries, with 114 facilities and approximately 7,000 employees worldwide.

Segments
The Company’s operations consist of two reportable segments: Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”).  In January 2018, the Company changed the names of the reportable segments to better reflect business operations: (1) Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”), formerly Legacy Zebra, comprised of barcode and card printing, location solutions, supplies, and services; and (2) Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”), formerly Enterprise, comprised of mobile computing, data capture, RFID, and services.

Asset Intelligence & Tracking
The AIT segment is an industry leader in barcode printing and asset tracking technologies. Its major product lines include barcode and card printers, supplies, services and location solutions. Industries served include retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and other end markets within the following regions: North America; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Asia-Pacific; and Latin America.

Enterprise Visibility & Mobility
The EVM segment is an industry leader in automatic information and data capture solutions. Its major product lines include mobile computing, data capture, RFID, and services. Industries served include retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and other end markets within the following regions: North America; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Asia-Pacific; and Latin America.

Geographic Information
For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company recorded $ 3.7 billion of net sales in its consolidated statements of operations, of which approximately 48.3% were attributable to North America; approximately 32.8% were attributable to Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”); and other foreign locations accounted for the remaining 18.9% . Net sales attributable from each region are relatively consistent with the prior year period.

Acquisition and Integration
In October 2014, the Company acquired the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”), from Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“MSI”) (the “Acquisition”) and began integration activities focused on creating “One Zebra”. Our integration priorities centered on maintaining business continuity while identifying and implementing cost synergies, operating efficiencies, and integration of functional organizations and processes. Another key focus of the integration was to exit MSI-provided transition service agreements (“TSAs”) related primarily to IT systems and support services. These TSAs were an interim measure to continue the operations of the Enterprise business without disruption while integration activities were completed. The Company substantially completed its integration activities, including the implementation of a common enterprise resource planning system and has exited the last TSAs with MSI.

Restructuring Programs
In the first quarter 2017, the Company’s executive leadership approved an initiative to continue the Company’s efforts to increase operational efficiency (the “Productivity Plan”). The Company expects the Productivity Plan to build upon the exit and restructuring initiatives specific to the acquisition of the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”) from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in October 2014, (the “Acquisition Plan”). Actions under the Productivity Plan include organizational design changes, process improvements and automation. Implementation of actions identified through the Productivity Plan is expected to be substantially complete by December 2018. Exit and restructuring costs are not included in the operating results of our segments as they are not deemed to impact the specific segment measures as reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker and

24

Table of Contents

therefore are reported as a component of Corporate, eliminations. See Note 15, Segment Information and Geographic Data in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further information.

Total exit and restructuring charges of $12 million life-to-date and year-to-date specific to the Productivity Plan have been recorded through December 31, 2017 and relate to severance and related benefits, lease exit costs and other expenses. Total remaining charges associated with this plan are expected to be in the range of  $8 million  to  $12 million with activities expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2018.

Total exit and restructuring charges of  $69 million  life-to-date specific to the Acquisition Plan have been recorded through December 31, 2017 and include severance and related benefits, lease exit costs and other expenses. Charges related to the Acquisition Plan for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were  $4 million and $19 million , respectively. The Company has substantially completed the activities associated with the Acquisition Plan.

See Note 5, Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further information.

Impact of U.S. Tax Reform
The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“TCJA” or “the Act”) signed into law on December 22, 2017 and has provisionally provided income tax expense of $72 million , including remeasurement of its net deferred tax assets at 21% of $35 million and the one-time transition tax of $37 million . The one-time transition tax impact has been reduced by approximately $10 million of income tax credit carryfowards, resulting in an estimated cash tax liability of $26 million , of which $2 million has been classified as a short term liability and $24 million as a long term liability, both to be remitted over the next eight years as follows (in millions):

The Company expects that the greatest factor impacting its future effective tax rate is the federal reduction in the tax rate from 35% to 21% . Primarily due to uncertainties in the interpretation of the one-time transition tax rules and the determination of cash or other specified assets, the December 31, 2017 effective tax rate could differ materially from the amount disclosed in the financial statements. As permitted, the Company will update the estimates disclosed herein on a quarterly basis throughout 2018. See Note 12, Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further information.

The Company has reviewed the impact of other provisions of the Act which took effect on January 1, 2018 and after. Based on current operations, we estimate that the Company will be subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and the Deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions of the Act. We estimate that the new limitations which defer U.S. interest deductions in excess of 30% of Adjusted Taxable Income will not be applicable. Additionally, the Company will no longer be able to deduct compensation for its covered employees which exceeds the limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

(1) The Company sold the wireless LAN business in October 2016. The Company excludes the impact of the net sales of this business in the prior year period when computing organic net sales growth.
(2) Operating results reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency translation impact represents the difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This impact is calculated by translating, for certain currencies, the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period, rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period. In addition, we exclude the impact of the company’s foreign currency hedging program in both the current and prior year periods.
(3) Amounts included in Corporate, eliminations consist of purchase accounting adjustments not reported in segments related to the Acquisition.

2017 compared to 2016
Net sales increased by $148 million or 4.1% compared with the prior year period. The increase in net sales was due to higher hardware sales in North America, EMEA, and Latin America, offset by lower hardware sales in Asia-Pacific. The increase in hardware sales was largely attributable to increased sales of mobile computing, data capture, and barcode printing products, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the wireless LAN business in October 2016. Services sales were lower primarily due to the impact of the wireless LAN divestiture. Consolidated Organic Net sales growth was 6.5% , reflecting growth in all four geographic regions, most notably in EMEA and North America, and Latin America.

Gross margin as a percent of sales was 45.9% , or flat compared to the prior year. This reflects an increase in gross margin in the EVM segment primarily due to changes in business mix and improved product costs, offset by lower AIT segment gross margin driven primarily by higher overhead and services costs, and increased customer sales incentives.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were $1.4 billion , or 37.3% of net sales and $1.6 billion or 43.7% of net sales, respectively. The reduction in operating expenses was primarily due to impairment charges related to the disposal of the Company’s wireless LAN business in the prior year period, lower acquisition and integration costs, and lower amortization of intangible assets. During 2017, the Company substantially completed its integration activities, including the implementation of a common enterprise resource planning system, associated with the Acquisition. The Company also exited the transition services agreements with Motorola Solutions. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was due to certain assets reaching full amortization in 2017. Exit and restructuring costs were also lower than the year-ago period due to the prior year charges that included costs associated with the divestiture of the wireless LAN business. Research and development costs were higher primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense associated with improved financial performance partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the wireless LAN business. General and administrative expenses were lower compared to the prior year period due primarily to reduced facility and IT expenses, professional fees, and employee benefits costs, as well as the impact of the divestiture of the wireless LAN business being offset partially by increased incentive compensation expense associated with improved financial performance.
Operating income increased $ 242 million compared to the prior year. The increase was due to the decline in operating expenses as well as the increase in sales and gross profit.

Interest expense was $227 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $193 million in the prior year. The increase over the prior year was driven by the payments for early debt extinguishment of $65 million and accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs related to the redemption of Senior Notes of $16 million offset, in part, by the impact of early repayments of debt and lower interest rates.

Other non-operating expenses decreased $5 million to $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease is driven by long-term investment impairments of $1 million in the current year compared to $7 million in the prior year.

The Company recognized tax expense of $71 million and $8 million for the period ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 80.7% and (6.2)% as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to deferred income taxed on the outbound transfer of U.S. assets, an increase in uncertain tax benefits, increased valuation allowance for its foreign deferred tax assets, foreign non-deductible expenses, the one-time transition tax and remeasurement of its net U.S. deferred tax assets under U.S. tax reform. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, recognition of deferred tax assets on intercompany asset transfers, the generation of tax credits in the current year, and deductions from vesting of equity compensation.

2016 compared to 2015

Table of Contents

Net sales decreased by $76 million or 2.1% compared with the prior year period. The decline in net sales is due to lower hardware sales in North America, EMEA, and Latin America, including the unfavorable impact of foreign currency changes, partially offset by higher hardware sales in Asia-Pacific. The decline in hardware sales is largely attributable to lower sales of barcode printer, data capture, wireless LAN products, and location solutions. Organic net sales increased 0.4% compared to the prior year period, reflecting growth in Asia-Pacific and North America, offset by declines in EMEA, and Latin America.

Gross margin as a percent of sales was 45.9% compared to the prior year period of 45.0% . This improvement in gross margin reflects an increase in the EVM segment gross margin primarily due to lower services and hardware product costs. AIT segment gross margin decreased primarily due to lower sales demand and the impact of incentive programs, including the concessions to distributors of printer products imported into China, partially offset by product cost improvements.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, were $1.6 billion , or 43.7% and 44.0% of net sales, respectively. The reduction in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the Company’s continued focus on improving operating efficiency and controlling expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were lower compared to the prior year due to the full-year impact of staff reductions implemented in 2015 and lower discretionary expenses and promotional spending. The decrease in research and development costs was primarily due to a reduction in headcount and other third-party resources, the impact from the divestiture of the wireless LAN business, and shifting of headcount to lower cost engineering locations. The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily due to higher IT related expenses, including increased support and maintenance costs for IT infrastructure and business systems as we exit transition services agreements with Motorola Solutions, and increased legal fees and litigation related expenses. The decrease in amortization of intangibles was due to impairment charges taken in the current year along with other intangible assets becoming fully amortized. Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles of $62 million was recorded during the third quarter related to the wireless LAN business divestiture. The Company has made significant progress on its integration activities associated with the Acquisition, including exiting many transition services agreements with Motorola Solutions. This has resulted in a decline in acquisition and integration costs compared to the prior year period. Exit and restructuring costs were lower due to a reduced level of restructuring activity as the Company progresses with its restructuring plan related to the Acquisition, partially offset by expenses associated with the Company’s divestiture of its wireless LAN business.
Operating income increased $43 million or 116.2% compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the decline in operating expenses.

The Company conducts business in multiple currencies throughout the world, thus has exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates with regard to non-functional denominated revenue, cash assets, and cash liabilities.  As a result of these exposures, the Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $5 million for 2016.

Interest expense was $ 193 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, flat compared to the prior year. Early repayments of debt resulted in accelerated amortization costs while debt refinancing savings were offset by closing costs of the refinancing.

Other non-operating expenses increased $10 million to $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase is driven by long-term investment impairments of $7 million and an increase in accelerated loan discount amortization of $3 million due to the debt refinancing. See Note 8, Long-Term Debt for further information on the debt refinancing amendments.

In the period ending December 31, 2016, the Company recognized tax expense of $8 million compared to a tax benefit of $ 22 million for 2015. The Company’s effective tax rates were (6.2)% and 12.2% as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to deferred income taxed on the outbound transfer of U.S. assets, pre-tax losses in the United States, and the rate differential between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

(1) Operating results reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency translation impact represents the difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This impact is calculated by translating, for certain currencies, the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period, rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period. In addition, we exclude the impact of the company’s foreign currency hedging program in both the current and prior year periods.

2017 compared to 2016
AIT net sales for the period ending December 31, 2017 increased $ 64 million or 5.1% compared to prior year period. The increase in net sales was largely driven by higher sales of barcode and card printers, primarily in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. Sales of supplies and services were also higher than the prior year. The year-on-year growth also reflects a price concession to distributors of barcode printer products imported into China in the third quarter of 2016. During 2017, no additional price concession provisions were required and a reduction of the 2016 provision was recorded due to a change in import classification for barcode printers. AIT organic Net sales growth for the year-ended December 31, 2017 was 4.6% .
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 48.8% compared to 49.7% for comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross margin reflects higher overhead costs, including freight and costs associated with our regional distribution center transitions, higher services costs and increased customer sales incentives offset partially by lower provisions for price concessions to distributors of barcode printer products imported into China.

Operating income increased 8.3% as a result of increased net sales and gross profit. Operating expenses were comparable to the prior year period.

2016 compared to 2015
AIT net sales for the period ending December 31, 2016 decreased $39 million or 3.0% compared to prior year period. The decline in net sales was primarily due to lower net sales of barcode printers and location solutions, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency changes, most notably in EMEA which was partially offset by an increase in sales of supplies. The barcode printer sales decline was primarily due to lower sales in North America and EMEA. AIT organic net sales declined compared to the prior year period by 1.2% .
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 49.7% compared to 50.9% for comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross margin included impacts from lower sales of barcode printers, the impact of incentive programs, including the concession to distributors of printer products imported into China, costs associated with the relocation of North American distribution operations, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency changes. These factors were partially offset by manufacturing cost improvements in supplies and lower hardware product costs.

Operating income declined 7.0% as a result of lower net sales and gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

2017 compared to 2016
EVM net sales for the period ending December 31, 2017 increased $ 77 million or 3.3% compared to prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by higher sales of mobile computing and data capture products, primarily in the North America and EMEA regions, partially offset by impact of the divestiture of the wireless LAN business in October 2016. EVM organic net sales growth for the year-ended December 31, 2017 was 7.5%.
Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 44.4% compared to 44.2% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin primarily reflects changes in business mix and improvements in hardware product costs.

Operating income increased 10.1% primarily as a result of higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

2016 compared to 2015
EVM net sales for the period ending December 31, 2016 decreased $43 million or 1.8% compared to prior year period. The decline in net sales was primarily driven by lower sales of wireless LAN and data capture products and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency changes in EMEA, partially offset by higher sales of mobile computing products. EVM organic net sales increased compared to the prior year period by 1.3% .
Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 44.2% compared to 42.4% in the prior year period. The improvement in gross margin was due primarily to lower service and hardware product costs, including lower excess and obsolescence expense. The prior year costs also included higher product rebranding expenses. This improvement was partially offset by product mix and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency changes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions we used are reasonable based upon the information available at that time.
Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary factors that influence our liquidity include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of our revenues, cash collections from our customers, capital expenditures, repatriation of foreign cash and investments, and acquisitions of third-parties. Management believes that our existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements and service our indebtedness. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the years indicated (in millions):

The change in our cash and cash equivalents balance is reflective of the following:
2017 vs. 2016
Cash flows from operations increased $98 million during 2017 to $478 million . This improvement was driven by an increase in net earnings of $154 million , partially offset by a decline in working capital primarily related to higher inventory levels and lower accounts payable. Net inventory increased primarily as a result of growth in the business and changes in product mix, an increased backlog level compared to the prior year, and our recent transition to a new distribution model for our European operations. In addition, the prior year working capital benefited from the successful renegotiation of longer payment terms with vendors.

Net cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment declined $27 million as compared to the prior year, as capital expenditures related to the Acquisition integration were substantially completed in 2016. The prior year investing activities also included net cash proceeds of $39 million related to the sale of the wireless LAN business.

Net cash used in financing activities during 2017 consisted of proceeds related to the A&R Credit agreement for Term Loan A of $688 million , a draw on the Revolving Credit Facility of $275 million , and proceeds related to the receivables financing facility of $145 million . These proceeds were primarily used to redeem $1.1 billion in principal of the 7.25% Senior Notes, maturing October 2022. The Company also had debt principal prepayments on Term Loan A and Term Loan B of $502 million and on the receivables financing facility of $10 million . As part of the repricing of Term Loan B, a portion of the debt was deemed to be modified and therefore, the Company included $263 million in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, offset by $263 million in payments of long-term debt within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
2016 vs. 2015
Cash flows from operations increased $258 million during 2016 to $380 million. This improvement was driven by lower net losses of $21 million, which included significant non-cash drivers of a lower deferred income tax benefit of $98 million and asset impairment for goodwill, intangibles and other assets of $69 million, primarily related to the wireless LAN business divestiture. Additionally, the Company had improved working capital related items of $90 million during 2016. Working capital

31

Table of Contents

related improvements consisted primarily of accounts payable increases due to the Company successfully renegotiating longer payment terms with vendors being partially offset by an increase in income tax cash outflows.

Net cash used in investing activities during 2016 included capital expenditures of $77 million compared to $122 million in 2015. The decrease consisted primarily of a reduction in integration and real estate related capital expenditures. This was offset somewhat by the sale of the wireless LAN business resulting in net cash received of $39 million.

Net cash used in financing activities during 2016 consisted primarily of early debt principal repayments of $382 million under the Term Loan compared to early debt principal repayments of $165 million in the comparable prior year period. Resulting from the debt refinancing amendments entered into during fiscal 2016, the Company recognized $102 million of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, offset by $102 million in payments of long-term debt within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan purchases (“ESPP”) were $11 million in 2016 compared to $17 million in 2015 reflecting decreased option exercises and stock purchase plan purchases. The taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards were $8 million in 2016 compared to $13 million in 2015 reflecting decreased stock exercises.

Credit Facilities
On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement, which amended, modified and added provisions to the Company’s previous credit agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan A of $688 million and increased the existing Revolving Credit Facility from $250 million to $500 million . The Company incurred and capitalized debt issuance costs of $5 million related to Term Loan A and the increased Revolving Credit Facility under the A&R Credit Agreement.

In addition, as part of the A&R Credit Agreement, the Company partially paid down and repriced its Term Loan B. The A&R Credit Agreement also lowered the index rate spread for LIBOR loan from LIBOR + 250 bp to LIBOR + 200 bp for its Term Loan B.

In accounting for the early termination and repricing of Term Loan B, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 470-50,  Modifications and Extinguishments  (“ASC 470-50”). The evaluation of the accounting under ASC 470-50 was done on a creditor by creditor basis in order to determine if the terms of the debt were substantially different and, as a result, whether to apply modification or extinguishment accounting. The Company determined that the terms of the debt were not substantially different for approximately 80.4% of the lenders, and applied modification accounting. For the remaining 19.6% of the lenders, extinguishment accounting was applied. Certain lenders elected not to participate in the debt repricing, which resulted in a debt principal prepayment of $75 million of the Company’s outstanding debt balance. The debt repricing transaction also resulted in one-time pre-tax charges including third-party fees for arranger, legal and other services and accelerated discount and amortization of debt issuance costs on the debt principal prepayment of approximately $6 million . These costs are reflected as non-operating expenses in Other, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of  December 31, 2017 , the Term Loan A interest rate was  3.35% , and the Term Loan B interest rate was  3.37% . Borrowings under the Term Loan B, as amended, bear interest at a variable rate subject to a floor of 2.75% . The facility allows for interest payments payable monthly or quarterly on Term Loan A and quarterly on Term Loan B. The Company has entered into interest

rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt on Term Loan B. See Note 7,  Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

The A&R Credit Agreement also requires the Company to prepay certain amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions, as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company may make prepayments against the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Under Term Loan A, the Company made debt principal prepayments of  $9 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 . Under Term Loan B, the Company made debt principal prepayments of  $493 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Term Loan A, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on July 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan A Maturity Date”). The Term Loan B, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on October 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan B Maturity Date”).  To the extent not previously paid, the Term Loans are due and payable on, respectively, the Term Loan A Maturity Date and Term Loan B Maturity Date.  At such time, the Company will be required to repay all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other charges in accordance with the A&R Credit Agreement. Assuming the Company makes no further optional debt principal prepayments on Term Loan A, the outstanding principal as of the Term Loan A Maturity Date will be approximately  $498 million . Assuming the Company makes no further optional debt principal prepayments on the Term Loan B, the outstanding principal as of the Term Loan B Maturity Date will be approximately  $1.2 billion .

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including letters of credit. The amount (including letters of credit) cannot exceed  $500 million . As of  December 31, 2017 , the Company had letters of credit totaling  $5 million , which reduced funds available for other borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to  $495 million . The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and the related commitments will terminate on July 27, 2021.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of  December 31, 2017 , the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of  3.39% . The facility allows for interest payments payable monthly or quarterly. As of  December 31, 2017 , the Company had borrowings of $275 million against the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings against the Revolving Credit Facility in the prior year comparable period.

Senior Notes
During fiscal 2017, the Company used proceeds from Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit Facility and the receivables financing facility to redeem $1.1 billion in outstanding principal of the 7.25% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”), maturing October 2022. In accounting for the early termination of Senior Notes, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 470-50,  Modifications and Extinguishments  (“ASC 470-50”). Based on the terms of the debt, the Company concluded extinguishment accounting was appropriate to apply. The Company recognized a $65 million make whole premium, which was recorded as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recognized accelerated debt issuance costs of $16 million which were recorded as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Receivables Financing Facility
On December 1, 2017, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity (“SPE”) of the Company entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which provides for a receivables financing facility of up to $180 million . The SPE utilizes the receivables financing facility in the normal course of business as part of its management of cash flows. Under its committed receivables financing facility, a subsidiary of the Company sells its domestically originated accounts receivables at fair value, on a revolving basis, to the SPE which was formed for the sole purpose of buying the receivables. The SPE, in turn, pledges a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the pool of purchased receivables to a financial institution for borrowing purposes. The subsidiary retains an ownership interest in the pool of receivables that are sold to the SPE and services those receivables. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these transactions do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets , and has, therefore, accounted for the transactions as secured borrowings.

At December 31, 2017 , the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $421 million of receivables that were pledged and $135 million of associated liabilities. The SPE borrowed $145 million on the receivables financing facility and repaid $10 million in 2017. In 2017, the Company recorded expenses related to its receivables financing facility of $1 million as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The receivables financing facility will mature on November 29, 2019.

Borrowings under the receivables financing facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of  December 31, 2017 , the receivables financing facility had an average interest rate of  2.35% and requires monthly interest payments.

Both the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels.

From January 1, 2018 through February 22, 2018, the Company made principal debt repayments of  $63 million

The company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2017 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

Summary of fiscal 2017 actions
The actions taken during fiscal 2017 resulted in net repayments of $454 million and included the following:

Term Loan A borrowings of $688 million ,
Term Loan A debt principal payments of $9 million ,
Revolving Credit Facility borrowings of $275 million ,
Senior Note debt principal prepayments of $1.05 billion ,
Term Loan B debt principal prepayments of $493 million ,
Receivables financing facility borrowings of $145 million , and
Receivables financing facility payments of $10 million .

Historically, significant portions of our cash inflows were generated by our operations. We currently expect this trend to continue throughout 2018 . We believe that our existing cash and investments, borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility, together with cash flows expected from operations will be sufficient to meet expected operating, capital expenditure and debt obligation requirements for the next 12 months.

Certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility on a senior basis: For the period ended December 31, 2017 , the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries would have (a) accounted for 57.3% of our total revenue and (b) held 86.9% or $4.3 billion of our total assets and approximately 87.6% or $3.0 billion of our total liabilities including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.
As of December 31, 2017 , the Company’s cash position of $62 million included foreign cash and investments of $54 million .
Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements.

Purchase obligations are for purchases made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements, primarily raw materials and finished goods.

Uncertain tax benefits of $51 million have been excluded from the above table. $20 million is a current liability as of December 31, 2017. The remainder is classified as long-term in nature as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority.

Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency changes. Zebra is exposed to the following types of market risk: interest rates and foreign currency.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to existing debt issuances. Primary exposures include LIBOR rates. From time to time, we use interest rate derivative contracts including interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on existing debt and future debt issuances to reduce the volatility of our financing costs and, based on current and projected market conditions, achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt. Generally, under these swaps, we agree with a counterparty to exchange floating-rate for fixed-rate interest amounts with an agreed upon notional principal amount.

As of December 31, 2017 , we had $2.2 billion of debt outstanding under our debt facilities, which bears interest determined by reference to a variable rate index. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates on the various debt instruments we hold would increase or decrease the annual interest expense we recognize and the cash we pay for interest expense by approximately $22 million . This amount excludes the impact of any associated derivative contracts. To mitigate this risk, we entered into forward interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest payments on our debt facilities. Refer to Note 7, Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further discussion of hedging activities.

Foreign Exchange Risk
We provide products and services in over 180 countries throughout the world and, therefore, at times are exposed to risk based on movements in foreign exchange rates. On occasion, we invoice customers in their local currency and have a resulting foreign currency denominated revenue transaction and accounts receivable. We also purchase certain raw materials and other items in foreign currencies. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further discussions of hedging activities.

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Czech koruna, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Singapore dollar, Japanese yen, and Swedish krona. In general, we are a net receiver of foreign currencies and therefore benefit from a weakening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. A 1% increase or decrease in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease our pre-tax income by approximately $2 million . This amount excludes the impact of any associated derivative contracts, which would largely offset this foreign exchange exposure. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of certain entities with exposures denominated in foreign currencies. These transactions are typically three months in maturity and are not designated as hedges.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision of our Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as released in 2013. Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. 

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on Zebra’s internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP’s report is included on page 37 of this report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2017, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Zebra have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Zebra Technologies Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Zebra Technologies Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Zebra Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Zebra Technologies Corporation as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in Index Item 15 and our report dated February 22, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Zebra Technologies Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zebra Technologies Corporation (the “Company“) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in Index Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements“). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 22, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company‘s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company‘s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


/s/ Ernst & Young LLP        


We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2005.

ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONAND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Description of Business
Zebra Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Zebra” or the “Company”) is a global leader providing innovative Enterprise Asset Intelligence (“EAI”) solutions in the automatic identification and data capture solutions industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of products that capture and move data. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, and managed services, including cloud-based subscriptions. End-users of our products and services include those in retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, and education industries around the world. We provide our products and services globally through a direct sales force and an extensive network of channel partners.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. These accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of Zebra and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Calendar. Zebra operates on a 4 week/4 week/5 week fiscal quarter, and each fiscal quarter ends on a Saturday. The fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. This fiscal calendar results in some fiscal quarters being either greater than or less than 13 weeks, depending on the days of the week on which those dates fall. During the 2017 fiscal year, our quarter end dates were April 1, July 1, September 30, and December 31.
 
Use of Estimates. These consolidated financial statements were prepared using estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples of estimates include: cash flow projections and other assumptions included in our annual goodwill impairment test; loss contingencies; product warranties; useful lives of our tangible and intangible assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities; and share-based compensation forfeiture rates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash consists primarily of deposits with banks. In addition, the Company considers highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. These highly liquid short-term investments are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of a change in value because of changes in interest rates.
Included in the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company had $54 million and $98 million of foreign cash and cash equivalents included in the Company’s total cash positions of $62 million and $156 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to us from our customers in the course of normal business activities. Collateral on trade accounts receivable is generally not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on our assessment of known delinquent accounts. Accounts are written off against the allowance account when they are determined to be no longer collectible. During 2017, the Company initiated a receivables financing facility of up to $180 million . See Note 8, Long-Term Debt for further information.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of a moving-average cost (which approximates cost on a first-in, first-out basis) and net realizable value. Manufactured inventory cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Purchased inventory cost also includes internal purchasing overhead costs.

Provisions are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Inventory provisions are based on forecasted demand, experience with specific customers, the age and nature of the inventory, and the ability to redistribute inventory to other programs or to rework into other consumable inventory.

The components of Inventories, net are as follows (in millions):

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of property, plant and equipment, which are 30 years for buildings and range from 3 to 10 years for all other asset categories. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

Depreciation expense was $79 million , $75 million and $69 million for the periods ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes . Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions when it is more likely than not to be sustained on its technical merits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. The Company has elected consolidated tax filings in certain of its jurisdictions which may allow the group to offset one member’s income with losses of other members in the current period and on a carryover basis. The Company classifies its balance sheet tax accounts adopting a jurisdictional netting principle for those countries where a consolidated tax return election is in place.

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“TCJA” or “the Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017 contains provisions related to the taxation of certain foreign earnings under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) regime which is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.  Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on January 10, 2018, companies must account for the impact of the GILTI tax as either a temporary difference in the book and tax basis of assets giving rise to the GILTI income, net of a foreign tax credit, or as a charge to tax expense in the year GILTI income is included in the U.S. tax return.  The Company has elected to treat its GILTI inclusions as a charge to tax expense in the year included in its U.S. tax return.

The effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances are recorded as a component of tax expense related to continuing operations for the period in which the law was enacted, even if the assets and liabilities related to items of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). In other words, backward tracing of the income tax effects of items originally recognized through AOCI is prohibited. On February 7, 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance requiring the reclassification to retained earnings of tax effects stranded in accumulated AOCI due to tax reform. The guidance requires that these changes be effective with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018 but allows

F- 9

Table of Contents

companies to early adopt the provision. The Company plans to adopt this provision with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. If a quantitative assessment is completed as part of our impairment analysis for a reporting unit, we may engage a third-party appraisal firm to assist in the determination of estimated fair value for each reporting unit. This determination includes estimating the fair value using both the income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping. The fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If a reporting unit is considered impaired, the impairment is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.
The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities within those reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; the discount rates; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures. The allocation requires several analyses to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities including, among other things, customer relationships and trade names. Although we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates.
Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both.
We also compare the sum of the estimated fair values of the reporting units to the Company’s total value as implied by the market value of the Company’s securities. This comparison indicated that, in total, our assumptions and estimates were reasonable. However, future declines in the overall market value of the Company’s securities may indicate that the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below its carrying value.
One measure of the sensitivity of the amount of goodwill impairment charges to key assumptions is the amount by which each reporting unit “passed” (fair value exceeds the carrying amount) or “failed” (the carrying amount exceeds fair value) the first step of the goodwill impairment test. See Note 4, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, net , for additional information.
Other Intangibles. Other intangible assets capitalized consist primarily of current technology, customer relationships, trade names, unpatented technology, and patents and patent rights. These assets are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life which range from 3 years to 15 years .
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposition of the asset. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Cost Method Investments. The Company’s long-term investments are accounted for using the cost method. These investments are primarily in venture capital backed technology companies, where the Company's ownership interest is less than 20% of each investee. Under the cost method of accounting, investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, certain distributions and additional investments. The Company held cost method investments in the amount of $25 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . These investments are included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized impairments of $1 million during fiscal 2017 which were recorded within Other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were $7 million of impairments to cost method investments in fiscal 2016 and no impairments in fiscal 2015 .

Revenue Recognition. Revenue includes sales of hardware, supplies and services (including repair services and product maintenance service contracts, which typically occur over time, and professional services, which typically occur in the early stages of a project). We enter into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of our hardware products and services due to the needs of our customers. For these type of revenue arrangements, we apply the guidance in ASC 605,

F- 10

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition to identify the separate units of accounting by determining whether the delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis. Generally, there is no right of return for the hardware we sell. Allocation of arrangement consideration to repair services, product maintenance services, and extended warranty is equal to the stated contractual rate for such services, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 605-20. We also follow the accounting principles that establish a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”). Generally, our agreements contain termination provisions whereby we are entitled to payment for delivered equipment and services rendered through the date of the termination. Some of our agreements may also contain cancellation provisions that in certain cases result in customer penalties. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which typically happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. For hardware sales, in addition to the criteria discussed above, revenue recognition incorporates allowances for discounts, price protection, returns and customer incentives that can be reasonably estimated. In addition to cooperative marketing and other incentive programs, the Company has arrangements with some distributors, which allow for price protection and limited rights of return, generally through stock rotation programs. Under the price protection programs, the Company gives distributors credits for the difference between the original price paid and the Company’s then current price. Under the stock rotation programs, distributors are able to exchange certain products based on the number of qualified purchases made during the period. We monitor and track these programs and record a provision for future payments or credits granted as reductions of revenue based on historical experience. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company enters into product maintenance and support agreements; revenues are deferred and then recognized ratably over the service period and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. The Company includes shipping and handling charges billed to customers as revenue when the product ships; any costs incurred related to these services are included in cost of sales. Taxing authorities may assess tax on the Company based on the gross receipts from customers, referred to as indirect taxes. The Company’s policy is to record indirect taxes as a short-term liability and not as a component of gross revenue.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs (“R&D”) are expensed as incurred. These costs include:
Salaries, benefits, and other R&D personnel related costs,
Consulting and other outside services used in the R&D process,
Engineering supplies,
Engineering related information systems costs, and
Allocation of building and related costs.
Advertising. Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $18 million , $18 million and $22 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
Warranty. The Company generally provides warranty coverage of 1 year on mobile computers, printers and batteries. Advanced data capture products are warrantied from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product. Thermal printheads are warrantied for 6 months and battery-based products, such as location tags, are covered by a 90 -day warranty. A provision for warranty expense is adjusted quarterly based on historical warranty experience.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Our financial assets and liabilities that require recognition under the accounting guidance generally include our available-for-sale investments, employee deferred compensation plan investments, foreign currency derivatives, and interest rate swaps. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we recognize derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for additional information on our derivatives and hedging activities.
The Company has foreign currency forwards to hedge certain foreign currency exposures and interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the variability in future cash flows on debt. We use broker quotations or market transactions, in either the listed or

F- 11

Table of Contents

over-the-counter markets to value our foreign currency exchange contracts and relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves and the Company’s own credit risk to value our interest rate swaps.
The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale except for securities held in the Company’s deferred compensation plans, which are considered to be trading securities. In general, we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine fair value. If active markets for identical assets are not available to determine fair value, then we use quoted prices for similar assets or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

Share-Based Compensation. At December 31, 2017 , the Company had a share-based compensation plan and an employee stock purchase plan under which shares of our common stock were available for future grants and sales, and which are described more fully in Note 11, Share-Based Compensation . We account for these plans in accordance with ASC 505, Equity and ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . The Company recognizes compensation costs using the straight-line method over the vesting period upon grant of up to 4 years, net of estimated forfeitures.

The compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for share-based compensation were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (in millions):

Foreign Currency Translation. The balance sheet accounts of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, those not designated as U.S. dollar functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the year-end exchange rate, and statement of earnings items are translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation gains or losses are recorded in Stockholders’ equity as a cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income loss within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Acquisitions. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that the purchase price be allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The estimates used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, can be complex and require significant judgments. We use information available to us to make fair value determinations and engage independent valuation specialists, when necessary, to assist in the fair value determination of significant acquired long-lived assets. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, customer attrition rates, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but due to the inherent uncertainty during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) .” The amendments of this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the Step 2 procedure to determine the implied fair value of goodwill of a reporting unit which fails the Step 1 procedure. The implication of this update results in the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value to be recognized as an impairment charge in the interim or annual period identified. The standard is effective for public companies in the first calendar quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. The Company has adopted

F- 12

Table of Contents

this ASU on a prospective basis effective as of January 1, 2017 and has concluded that this pronouncement has no impact on its consolidated financial statements or existing accounting policies.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “ Business Combinations (Topic 805)- Clarifying the Definition of a Business ,” which clarifies the definition of a business when considering whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The clarified definition requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This definition reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as to be considered a business, an asset must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The effective date of this ASU is for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis, and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or existing accounting policies.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory .” This ASU allows for an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this ASU eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The standard will be effective for public companies in the first calendar quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted and on a modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017. The Company recorded a reduction to retained earnings for the prior period catch-up of approximately $9 million for the unamortized prepaid tax on an intra-entity transfer of workforce in place. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company also recorded a $12 million benefit related to an intercompany transfer of intellectual property as a result of newly adopted accounting standards. The Company recognized no additional tax benefit in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 .

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments .” This ASU provides clarification guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues that have developed due to diversity in practice. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and cash receipts from payments on beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The amendments in this ASU where practicable will be applied retrospectively. The Company has retrospectively adopted this ASU during the third quarter 2017. The Company has recognized $4 million in the current year as financing activities and reclassified $5 million in the prior year of cash paid for debt issuance costs and discounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from operating activities to financing activities. There was no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow in 2015.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU requires that entities recognize excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to employee share-based payment transactions as income tax expense and benefit versus additional paid in capital. This ASU also eliminates the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits and deficiencies from operating activities to financing activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has adopted recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies within income tax expense effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The Company has adopted presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows effective January 1, 2017 on a retrospective basis. The Company recognized $7 million as operating activities in the current year and reclassified excess tax benefits of $3 million , and $12 million on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from financing activities to operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has reflected a tax benefit of $7 million for the year ending December 31, 2017 , as a discrete item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the new ASU.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,  “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ,” which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost or net realizable value for entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company has adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. There are no material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures resulting from the adoption of this ASU.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) .” Several ASUs have been issued since the issuance of ASU 2014-09 which modify certain sections of ASU 2014-09, and are intended to promote a more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the new standard. The core principle of the new standard is

F- 13

Table of Contents

that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires that certain costs to obtain a contract, which have generally been expensed as incurred under the current guidance, will now be capitalized and amortized in a pattern consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.

We completed the assessment and implementation phases of the process to adopt ASU 2014-09. We also completed updating our accounting policy around revenue recognition and evaluating new disclosure requirements. We will continue to implement and enhance appropriate changes to our business processes, systems, and controls, as necessary, to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The new disclosure requirements will change the content and presentation of the financial statement footnotes.

As a result of applying the provisions of the new standard, certain of our agreements will have different timing of revenue recognition as compared to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. We will adopt this new ASU on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company expects to record an increase to retained earnings on its Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $17 million to $20 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2014-09. The increase to retained earnings will result from the initial capitalization of previously expensed services sales commissions, the impact of revenue recognized for open service contracts sold with other products, and the impact of different revenue recognition timing patterns for open customer contract arrangements initiated before January 1, 2018. Additionally, new disclosures of disaggregated revenue information by reportable segment, as well as new disclosures of remaining performance obligations will be included in the Company’s filings beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments .” The new standard requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. There are two transition methods available under the new standard dependent upon the type of financial instrument, either cumulative effect or prospective. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted only for annual periods after December 15, 2018. Management is currently assessing the impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Subtopic 842) .” This ASU increases the transparency and comparability of organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases were not previously recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recognition, measurement, presentation, and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. This standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements. The impact of this ASU is non-cash in nature and will not affect the Company’s cash position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “ Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities .” ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. This ASU requires updates to the presentation of other comprehensive income resulting from a change in instrument-specific credit risk. This standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is prohibited for those provisions that apply to the Company. Amendments should be applied by means of cumulative effect adjustment to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values including disclosure requirements should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the ASU. The impacts of adoption primarily relate to presentation, and there are no material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures resulting from the adoption of this ASU.
 
Note 3 Business Combinations and Divestitures
Acquisitions
On October 27, 2014, the Company completed the Acquisition from Motorola Solutions Inc. (“MSI”) for a purchase price of $3.45 billion . During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid additional consideration of $52 million to MSI, which included a $2 million opening cash adjustment and settlement of working capital adjustments.

Divestitures
On September 13, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Extreme Networks, Inc. to dispose of the Company’s wireless LAN (“WLAN”) business (“Divestiture Group”) for a gross purchase price of $55 million . On October 29, 2016, the Company completed the disposition of the Divestiture Group and recorded net proceeds of $39 million . In 2017, the Company and Extreme Networks, Inc. finalized the net working capital amounts for the Divestiture Group. The finalized amount did not differ materially from the original estimate.

The Company incurred a non-cash pre-tax charge related to the disposal group during the third quarter of 2016. This charge, which totaled  $62 million , consisted of impairments of goodwill for  $32 million  and other intangibles for  $30 million  and is shown separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

WLAN operating results are reported in the EVM segment through the closing date of the WLAN divestiture of October 28, 2016. Within the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 Consolidated Statement of Operations, the Company generated revenue and gross profit from these assets of $106 million and $47 million , respectively.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter 2017. For all of the Company’s reporting units, the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values ranging from approximately  20% to  90% .

Note 5 Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring
In the first quarter 2017, the Company’s executive leadership approved an initiative to continue the Company’s efforts to increase operational efficiency (the “Productivity Plan”). The Company expects the Productivity Plan to build upon the exit and restructuring initiatives specific to the acquisition of the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”) from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in October 2014, (the “Acquisition Plan”). Actions under the Productivity Plan include organizational design changes, process improvements and automation. Implementation of actions identified through the Productivity Plan is expected to be substantially complete by December 2018. Exit and restructuring costs are not included in the operating results of our segments as they are not deemed to impact the specific segment measures as reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker and therefore are reported as a component of Corporate, eliminations. See Note 15, Segment Information and Geographic Data .

Total exit and restructuring charges of $12 million life-to-date and year-to-date specific to the Productivity Plan have been recorded through December 31, 2017 and relate to severance and related benefits, lease exit costs and other expenses. Total remaining charges associated with this plan are expected to be in the range of  $8 million  to  $12 million with activities expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2018.

Total exit and restructuring charges of  $69 million  life-to-date specific to the Acquisition Plan have been recorded through December 31, 2017 and include severance and related benefits, lease exit costs and other expenses. Charges related to the Acquisition Plan for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were  $4 million and $19 million , respectively. The Company has substantially completed the activities associated with the Acquisition Plan.

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels:
Level 1:
 
Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. (e.g. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).
Level 2:
 
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3:
 
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.

(1)
The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is calculated as follows:
a.
Fair value of a collar or put option contract associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using bid and ask rates for similar contracts.
b.
Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.
c.
Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at period end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1). As a result, transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy totaled $2 million and $11 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
(2)
The fair value of forward interest rate swap contracts is based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at the quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and may be adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk and the interest rate swap terms. See gross balance reporting in Note 7, Derivative Instruments .

Note 7 Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to such risks and may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
In accordance with ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging , the Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The following table presents the fair value of its

Credit and Market Risk Management
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk of nonperformance and to market risk related to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk by establishing minimum credit standards, diversifying its counterparties, and monitoring its concentrations of credit. The Company’s credit risk counterparties are commercial banks with expertise in derivative financial instruments. The Company evaluates the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other financial instruments by considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from euro denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities

F- 19

Table of Contents

between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company realizes its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts.

The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro denominated sales by using put options, forward contracts, and participating forwards, all of which typically mature within twelve months of execution. The Company designates these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the contract is settled and the hedged sale is realized. The realized gain or loss is then recorded as an adjustment to Net sales on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized (losses) or gains were $(8) million , $(7) million , and $14 million for the periods ending December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were €389 million and €341 million , respectively. The Company has reviewed its cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined they are highly effective.

The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to its Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, euro, Australian dollar, Swedish krona, Japanese yen and Singapore dollars denominated net assets. These forward contracts typically mature within three months after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income each quarter and are generally offset by the foreign exchange gains and losses related to their net asset positions. The notional values of these outstanding contracts are as follows:

Interest Rate Risk Management

On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which amended, modified and added provisions to the Company’s previous credit agreement, provided for an additional term loan of $687.5 million (“Term Loan A”) and increased the existing revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) from $250 million to $500 million . See Note 8, Long-Term Debt . Borrowings under the existing term loan (“Term Loan B”), the new Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit Facility and the receivables financing facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on both term loans.

The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In December 2017, the Company entered into an $800 million forward long-term interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base for debt facilities subject to monthly interest payments, including Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility. Under the terms of the agreement, $800 million in variable-rate debt will be swapped for a fixed interest rate with net settlement terms due effective in December 2018. The changes in fair value of these

F- 20

Table of Contents

swaps are not designated as hedges and are recognized immediately as Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company has a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap was terminated and the hedge accounting treatment was discontinued in 2014. This swap has $4 million to be amortized through Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and into Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations through June 2021, of which $2 million will be amortized during 2018.

The Company has three interest rate swaps previously entered into with the purpose of converting floating-to-fixed rate debt. The first swap was entered into with a syndicated group of commercial banks for the purpose of moving from floating-to-fixed rate debt. The second swap largely offsets the first swap, moving from fixed-to-floating rate debt. Both of these instruments are not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value are recognized in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The third swap entered into was an interest rate swap converting floating-to-fixed rate debt which was designated as a cash flow hedge and receives hedge accounting treatment. All three swaps have a termination date in June 2021.

The changes in fair value of the active swap designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with any ineffectiveness immediately recognized in earnings. At December 31, 2017 , the Company estimated that approximately $4 million in losses on the forward interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets into earnings during the next four quarters.

The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with the respective counterparties allow for net settlement under certain conditions, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement with the same counterparty. The following table presents the gross fair values and related offsetting counterparty fair values as well as the net fair value amounts for interest rates swaps at December 31, 2017 (in millions):

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt approximated $1.8 billion at December 31, 2017 and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2016 . These fair value amounts exclude the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility as these facilities are stated at fair value. These fair value amounts represent the estimated value at which the Company’s lenders could trade its debt within the financial markets and does not represent the settlement value of these long-term debt liabilities to the Company. The fair value of the long-term debt will continue to vary each period based on fluctuations in market interest rates, as well as changes to the Company’s credit ratings. This methodology resulted in a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facilities
On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement, which amended, modified and added provisions to the Company’s previous credit agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan A of $688 million and increased the existing Revolving Credit Facility from $250 million to $500 million . The Company incurred and capitalized debt issuance costs of $5 million related to Term Loan A and the increased Revolving Credit Facility under the A&R Credit Agreement.

In addition, as part of the A&R Credit Agreement, the Company partially paid down and repriced its Term Loan B. The A&R Credit Agreement also lowered the index rate spread for LIBOR loan from LIBOR + 250 bp to LIBOR + 200 bp for its Term Loan B.

In accounting for the early termination and repricing of Term Loan B, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 470-50,  Modifications and Extinguishments  (“ASC 470-50”). The evaluation of the accounting under ASC 470-50 was done on a creditor by creditor basis in order to determine if the terms of the debt were substantially different and, as a result, whether to apply modification or extinguishment accounting. The Company determined that the terms of the debt were not substantially different for approximately 80.4% of the lenders, and applied modification accounting. For the remaining 19.6% of the lenders, extinguishment accounting was applied. Certain lenders elected not to participate in the debt repricing, which resulted in a debt principal prepayment of $75 million of the Company’s outstanding debt balance. The debt repricing transaction also resulted in one-time pre-tax charges including third-party fees for arranger, legal and other services and accelerated discount and amortization of debt issuance costs on the debt principal prepayment of approximately $6 million . These costs are reflected as non-operating expenses in Other, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of  December 31, 2017 , the Term Loan A interest rate was  3.35% , and the Term Loan B interest rate was  3.37% . Borrowings under the Term Loan B, as amended, bear interest at a variable rate subject to a floor of 2.75% . The facility allows for interest

F- 22

Table of Contents

payments payable monthly or quarterly on Term Loan A and quarterly on Term Loan B. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt on Term Loan B. See Note 7,  Derivative Instruments .

The A&R Credit Agreement also requires the Company to prepay certain amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions, as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company may make prepayments against the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Under Term Loan A, the Company made debt principal prepayments of  $9 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 . Under Term Loan B, the Company made debt principal prepayments of  $493 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Term Loan A, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on July 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan A Maturity Date”). The Term Loan B, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on October 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan B Maturity Date”).  To the extent not previously paid, the Term Loans are due and payable on, respectively, the Term Loan A Maturity Date and Term Loan B Maturity Date.  At such time, the Company will be required to repay all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other charges in accordance with the A&R Credit Agreement. Assuming the Company makes no further optional debt principal prepayments on Term Loan A, the outstanding principal as of the Term Loan A Maturity Date will be approximately  $498 million . Assuming the Company makes no further optional debt principal prepayments on the Term Loan B, the outstanding principal as of the Term Loan B Maturity Date will be approximately  $1.2 billion .

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including letters of credit. The amount (including letters of credit) cannot exceed  $500 million . As of  December 31, 2017 , the Company had letters of credit totaling  $5 million , which reduced funds available for other borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to  $495 million . The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and the related commitments will terminate on July 27, 2021.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of  December 31, 2017 , the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of  3.39% . The facility allows for interest payments payable monthly or quarterly. As of  December 31, 2017 , the Company had borrowings of $275 million against the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings against the Revolving Credit Facility in the prior year comparable period.

Senior Notes
During fiscal 2017, the Company used proceeds from Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit Facility and the receivables financing facility to redeem $1.1 billion in outstanding principal of the 7.25% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”), maturing October 2022. In accounting for the early termination of Senior Notes, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 470-50,  Modifications and Extinguishments  (“ASC 470-50”). Based on the terms of the debt, the Company concluded extinguishment accounting was appropriate to apply. The Company recognized a $65 million make whole premium, which was recorded as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recognized accelerated debt issuance costs of $16 million which were recorded as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Receivables Financing Facility
On December 1, 2017, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity (“SPE”) of the Company entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which provides for a receivables financing facility of up to $180 million . The SPE utilizes the receivables financing facility in the normal course of business as part of its management of cash flows. Under its committed receivables financing facility, a subsidiary of the Company sells its domestically originated accounts receivables at fair value, on a revolving basis, to the SPE which was formed for the sole purpose of buying the receivables. The SPE, in turn, pledges a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the pool of purchased receivables to a financial institution for borrowing purposes. The subsidiary retains an ownership interest in the pool of receivables that are sold to the SPE and services those receivables. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these transactions do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets , and has, therefore, accounted for the transactions as secured borrowings.

At December 31, 2017 , the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $421 million of receivables that were pledged and $135 million of associated liabilities. The SPE borrowed $145 million on the receivables financing facility and repaid $10 million in 2017. In 2017, the Company recorded expenses related to its receivables financing facility of $1 million as Interest expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The receivables financing facility will mature on November 29, 2019.

Borrowings under the receivables financing facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of  December 31, 2017 , the receivables financing facility had an average interest rate of  2.35% and requires monthly interest payments.

Both the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels.

Note 10 Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort, and breach of contract matters. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and its potential effects may change in the future.

In connection with the acquisition of the Enterprise business from Motorola Solutions, Inc., the Company acquired Symbol Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions (“Symbol”). A putative federal class action lawsuit, Waring v. Symbol Technologies, Inc., et al., was filed on August 16, 2005 against Symbol Technologies, Inc. and  two  of its former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Robert Waring. After the filing of the Waring action, several additional purported class actions were filed against Symbol and the same former officers making substantially similar allegations (collectively, the New Class Actions”). The Waring action and the New Class Actions were consolidated for all purposes and on April 26, 2006, the Court appointed the Iron Workers Local # 580 Pension Fund as lead plaintiff and approved its retention of lead counsel on behalf of the putative class. On August 30, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”), and named additional former officers and directors of Symbol as defendants. The lead plaintiff alleges that the defendants misrepresented the effectiveness of Symbol’s internal controls and forecasting processes, and that, as a result, all of the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The lead plaintiff alleges that it

was damaged by the decline in the price of Symbol’s stock following certain purported corrective disclosures and seeks unspecified damages. The court has certified a class of investors that includes those that purchased Symbol common stock between March 12, 2004 and August 1, 2005. The parties have completed fact and expert discovery and they have agreed to a schedule for the filing of dispositive motions, which is subject to the Court’s approval. Although the Court has entered a scheduling order that currently requires the filing of a proposed joint pre-trial order by February 28, 2018, the parties are in the process of negotiating a proposed amendment to that order. The parties have scheduled a mediation for March 15, 2018. The current lead Directors and Officers (“D&O”) insurer previously maintained a position of not agreeing to reimburse defense costs incurred by the Company in connection with this matter. The current D&O insurer is now required to advance defense costs incurred by the Company in connection with this matter.

The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when the loss is both probable and estimable. In addition, for some matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, an estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss is not possible, and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of non-monetary remedies. Currently, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of reasonably possible losses for the above-mentioned matter.

Unclaimed Property Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (“VDA”) and Audits: The Company is currently under audit by several states related to its reporting of unclaimed property liabilities. Additionally, in December 2017, the Company entered into a VDA with the State of Delaware. The Company has engaged an outside consultant to facilitate the assessment of the estimated liability that may result from these activities, but has not progressed sufficiently in its assessment to quantify and record a contingency reserve for any unreported unclaimed property liabilities.

Note 11 Share-Based Compensation
The Zebra Technologies Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), provides for incentive compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors, officers and employees.

The intrinsic value for SARs exercised in fiscal 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was $14 million , $6 million and $11 million , respectively. The total fair value of SARs vested in fiscal 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was $8 million , $3 million and $8 million , respectively.

Cash received from the exercise of SARs in fiscal 2017 was $12 million compared to $6 million in the prior year. The related tax benefit realized was $3 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $1 million in the prior year.

The Company’s SARs are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically 4 years.

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”)
The Company’s restricted stock grants consist of time-vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance vested restricted stock awards (“PSAs”). The RSAs and PSAs hold voting rights and therefore are considered participating securities. The outstanding RSAs and PSAs are included as part of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding. The RSAs and PSAs vest at each vesting date subject to restrictions such as continuous employment except in certain cases as set forth in each stock agreement. The Company’s restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically 3 years . Some awards, including those granted annually to non-employee directors as an equity retainer fee, were vested upon grant. PSAs targets are set based on certain Company-wide financial metrics. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted.

The Company also issues stock awards to nonemployee directors. Each director receives an equity grant of shares every year during the month of May. The number of shares granted to each director is determined by dividing the value of the annual grant by the price of a share of common stock. In fiscal 2017 , there were 12,488 shares granted to nonemployee directors compared to 25,088 shares and 9,194 shares in fiscal 2016 and 2015 , respectively. New directors in any fiscal year earned a prorated amount. The shares vest immediately upon the grant date.

Other Award Types
The Company also has cash-settled compensation awards including cash-settled Stock Appreciation Rights (“CSRs”), Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) (the “Awards”) that are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is not more than 4 years. Compensation cost is calculated at the market date fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of share-equivalents granted and the fair value is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. Share-based liabilities paid for these awards was $1.5 million in 2017 compared to $0.8 million in 2016 . Share-equivalents issued under these programs totaled 45,781 , 95,210 and 11,618 in fiscal 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

The Company recognized tax expense of $71 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 80.7% and (6.2)% as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to deferred income taxed on the outbound transfer of U.S. assets, an increase in uncertain tax benefits, increased valuation allowance for its foreign deferred tax assets, foreign non-deductible expenses, the one-time transition tax and remeasurement of its net U.S. deferred tax assets under U.S. tax reform. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, recognition of deferred tax assets on intercompany asset transfers, the generation of tax credits in the current year, and deductions from vesting of equity compensation.

A reconciliation between the Provision computed at the statutory rate and the Provision for income taxes is provided below:

The Company earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., primarily in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Luxembourg, with statutory rates of 19% , 17% , and 27% , respectively. During 2017, the Company affirmed an incentivized tax rate of 10% with the Singapore Economic Development Board with the Company’s commitment to make increased investments in Singapore; this tax rate will expire on December 31, 2018, unless the Company applies for and is granted an extension.

The Company has recognized $12 million of deferred tax benefit related to the impact of a sale of intangible assets within the consolidated group where the tax basis of assets was stepped up to fair market value. With the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-16, the tax impact of non-inventory intra-entity transfers of assets are recognized in the period in which the transfer occurs. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further explanation.

At December 31, 2017 , the Company has approximately $338 million (tax effected) of net operating losses (“NOLs”) and approximately $30 million of credit carryforwards. Approximately $45 million of NOLs will expire beginning in 2033 thru 2037, and $24 million of credits will expire beginning in 2023 thru 2032. $293 million of NOLs and $6 million of credits have no expiration date. The Company elected a fiscal unity regime for its Luxembourg group which allows the Company to offset losses against other group member income. As a result of this election, the Company has remeasured the value of its deferred tax assets and liabilities in Luxembourg at the statutory rate of 27% , giving rise to an increase of $290 million in its net operating loss carryforwards, an increase of $66 million in valuation allowances, and an increase of $224 million in its depreciation and amortization deferred tax liability.

Impact of U.S. Tax Reform
TCJA was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. At December 31, 2017, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. In other cases, we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate and continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized a provisional amount of $ 72 million , which is included as a component of income tax expense.
 
Provisional amounts
Deferred tax assets and liabilities: We remeasured U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21% . However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount recorded related to the remeasurement of our deferred tax balance was $35 million .

Foreign Tax Effects
The one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) that we previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. We recorded a provisional amount for our one-time transition tax liability, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of $37 million . We have not yet completed our calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for these foreign subsidiaries.

F- 30

Table of Contents

Further, the transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets. This amount may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. We have reduced our deferred tax asset for income tax credits by $10 million which is available to offset the one-time transition tax, resulting in an estimated cash tax liability of $26 million which is to be remitted over the next eight years as follows:

The Company earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S. As of year-ended December 31, 2017, the Company is indefinitely reinvested with respect to its U.S. directly-owned subsidiary earnings and therefore has not accrued any withholding taxes on those earnings. However, certain foreign affiliate parent companies are not indefinitely reinvested and the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability of $2 million for foreign withholding taxes on those earnings. The Company’s policy considers its U.S. investment in directly-owned foreign affiliates to be indefinitely reinvested. Under the Act, future unremitted foreign earnings will no longer be subject to tax when repatriated to its U.S. parent, but may be subject to withholding taxes of the payor affiliate country. Additionally, gains and losses on taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. tax. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in the U.S. with respect to foreign withholding taxes or its outside basis differences in its directly-owned foreign affiliates and quantification of the unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practical.

Performance-Based Executive Compensation
The Act amends the rules related to the exclusion of performance-based compensation under Internal Revenue Code 162(m). The Company will no longer be able to claim a deduction for compensation accrued after January 1, 2018 for a covered employee which exceeds $1 million , unless the compensation is earned in respect of a binding contract in existence on November 2, 2017 (“Grandfathered Contracts”). The Company has estimated the remeasurement of the Section 162(m) grandfathered deferred tax assets at 21% for its covered employees for equity award agreements issued and executed prior to November 2, 2017, assuming that its benefit plan documents will fall within the grandfathered contract rules; should guidance to the contrary be issued by U.S. Treasury, the Company would have to remeasure its grandfathered deferred tax assets at $0 . Additionally, the Company has determined that its short-term bonus plan will not qualify for the grandfathered contract provisions, thus any deferred short-term bonus to be paid to covered employees in 2018 has been remeasured at a 0% rate.
 
The Company has not recorded an adjustment to its state and local current or deferred income tax provision as a result of the Act. Guidance from state tax authorities which do not fully conform with the U.S. Internal Revenue Code is not available to allow the Company to estimate the financial statement impact at this time.

At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , there are $47 million and $40 million of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company continues to believe its positions are supportable, however, the Company anticipates that $20 million of uncertain tax benefits may be paid within the next twelve months and, as such, is reflected as a current liability within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently undergoing audits of the 2013 through 2015 U.S. federal income tax returns. The Company is engaged in an inquiry from the UK Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) for the years 2012 and 2014. The tax years 2004 through 2016 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlement of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from the estimates.

The Company recognized $2 million of interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Company accrued $6 million and $4 million of interest and penalties accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 .

Note 13 Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock method and in periods of income, reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised for common shares during the period.

Earnings (loss) per share were computed as follows (dollars in millions, except share data):

(1) In periods of net loss, restricted stock awards that are classified as participating securities are excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding computation.
(2) In periods of net loss, options are anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the earnings (loss) per share calculation.

There were  259,142  outstanding options to purchase common shares that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the earnings per share calculation as of  December 31, 2017  compared to  1,391,567 and 1,421,506  excluded for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Anti-dilutive securities consist primarily of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) with an exercise price greater than the average market closing price of the Class A common stock.

Note 14 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as other comprehensive income (loss), including:
Unrealized (loss) gain on anticipated sales hedging transactions relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details .
Unrealized (loss) gain on forward interest rate swaps hedging transactions refer to the hedging of the interest rate risk exposure associated with the variable rate commitment entered into for the Acquisition. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details.
Foreign currency translation adjustment relates to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have been designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, period-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Note 15 Segment Information & Geographic Data
The segment information reflects the operating results of the Company’s business segments. In January 2018, The Company changed the names of the reportable segments to better reflect business operations. The Company has two reportable segments; Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”), formerly Legacy Zebra and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”), formerly Enterprise.

The AIT segment consists of barcode and card printing, location solutions, supplies, and services
The EVM segment consists of mobile computing, data capture, and RFID

The operating segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker) to assess segment performance and allocate resources between the Company’s segments. The chief operating decision maker uses adjusted operating income to evaluate segment profitability.

The accounting policies of the segments are in accordance with Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . The chief operating decision maker does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding resources, therefore the total asset disclosure by segment has not been included.

Section 4
Shares Subject to the Plan and Maximum Awards

4.1.     Shares Available for Awards .

(a)  The Shares available for Awards may be either authorized and unissued Shares or Shares issued and re-acquired by Zebra.  The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the Plan or with respect to which Awards may be granted shall not exceed 4,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3. 

(b) In the case of any Award granted in substitution for an award of a company or business acquired by Zebra or a Subsidiary, Shares issued or issuable in connection with such substitute Award shall not be counted against the number of Shares reserved under the Plan, but shall be available under

Exhibit 10.11

the Plan by virtue of Zebra’s assumption of the plan or arrangement of the acquired company or business.

4.2.     Individual Participant Limitations .   Unless and until the Committee determines that an Award to an executive officer is not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the following rules shall apply to grants of such Awards under the Plan:

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of Shares (including Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, RSUs, Performance Units and Performance Shares to be paid out in Shares) that may be granted in any one fiscal year to a Participant shall be 500,000.

The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, conclusive and binding. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (a) available under the Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded, or (b) subject to an award under the Plan, Zebra shall pay the holder of such Award, in connection with the first vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award in whole or in part occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or settlement date over (B) the exercise or base price, if any, of such Award.

6.1.     Grants of Options and SARs . Options and SARs may be granted to one or more Participants in such number, upon such terms and conditions, and at any time and from time to time, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  Each Option, or portion thereof, that is not an ISO shall be an NQSO. An ISO may not be granted to any person who is not an employee of Zebra or any parent or subsidiary (as defined in Section 424 of the Code). Each ISO shall be granted within ten years of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which Options designated as ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or any other plan of Zebra, or any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) exceeds the amount established by the Code, such Options shall constitute NQSOs. Non-Tandem SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SARs may be granted.    

6.2.     Option Price and Base Price .   The Award Agreement shall set forth the Option Price or base price for each Option or SAR; provided, that the Option Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date, and which Option Price may not be subsequently changed by the Committee except pursuant to Section 4.3.  With respect to a Participant who owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of Zebra or any Subsidiary, the Option Price of Shares subject to an ISO shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the ISO’s grant date. 

6.3.     Term .   Each Option or SAR granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as set forth in the Award Agreement, but in no event shall be exercisable later than the 10th anniversary of the grant date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to ISOs, in the case of a Participant who owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of Zebra or any Subsidiary, no such ISO shall be exercisable later than the fifth anniversary of the grant date. 

6.4.     Exercise of Options and SARs .   Options and SARs shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement, which need not be the same for each Award or for each Participant.  Options and SARs shall be exercised by the delivery of a written, electronic or other notice of exercise to Zebra, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option or SAR is to be exercised, accompanied in the case of Options by full payment for the Shares as set forth in Section 6.7.  The payment by Zebra to the Participant upon an SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof, as set forth in the Award Agreement. If an Award Agreement does not specify the time or times at which the Option or SAR shall become exercisable, the Option or SAR shall become exercisable by the Participant (i) to a maximum cumulative extent of one-third of the Shares or SARs (rounded down to the nearest whole) covered by the Option or SAR on the first anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) to a maximum cumulative extent of two-thirds of the Shares or SARs (rounded down to the nearest whole) covered by the Option or SAR on the second anniversary of the grant date, and (iii) to a maximum

B-9


Exhibit 10.11

cumulative extent of 100% of the Shares or SARs covered by the Option or SAR on the third anniversary of the grant date.

6.5.     Exercise of Tandem SARs .   Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option.  A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then exercisable.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Option Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercise; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

6.6.     Exercise of Non-Tandem SARs .   SARs may be exercised upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. Upon exercise, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from Zebra in an amount determined by multiplying (a) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the base price by (b) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

6.7.     Option Price Payment .   The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to Zebra in full either: (a) in cash, (b) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, (c) a combination (i) and (ii), or (d) in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to Zebra to whom the holder of the Option has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise.
Any fraction of a Share which would be required to pay the Option Price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash. No book-entry record or certificate representing Shares shall be made or delivered until the full Option Price and any withholding taxes have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to Zebra’s satisfaction).

6.8.     Termination of Employment, Service as a Director, or Consulting Arrangement .   The Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which a Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option or SAR following termination of employment, service as a Director, or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions need not be uniform among Options or SARs, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for such termination, including, but not limited to, termination for Cause or Good Reason, or reasons relating to the breach or threatened breach of restrictive covenants.  Subject to Section 9.8, in the event that an Award Agreement does not set forth such provisions, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)  Retirement, Death or Disability .  In the event that a Participant’s employment, service as a Director or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Retirement, death or Disability, to the extent that the Option or SAR is not exercisable, all Shares covered by the Option or SAR shall immediately become fully exercisable and shall remain exercisable

B-10


Exhibit 10.11

until the earlier of (i) the remainder of the term of the Option or SAR, or (ii) 12 months after the date of termination.  

(b)   Termination for Cause.  In the event that a Participant’s employment, service as a Director or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or any Subsidiary terminates for Cause, all Options or SARs shall expire immediately and all rights thereunder shall cease upon termination.

(c)  Other Termination . In the event that a Participant’s employment, service as a Director or consulting arrangement with Zebra terminates for any reason other than Retirement, death, Disability, or for Cause, all then exercisable Options or SARs shall remain exercisable from the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the remainder of the term of the Option or SAR, or (ii) 90 days after the date of termination.  Such Options or SARs shall only be exercisable to the extent that they were exercisable as of such termination date and all unexercisable Options or SARs shall be forfeited.               

Section 7
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

7.1.     Grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units . Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards may be granted to one or more Participants in such number, upon such terms and conditions, and at any time and from time to time, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  If no Period of Restriction is set forth in the Award Agreement, the transfer and any other restrictions shall lapse (i) to a maximum cumulative extent of one-third of the Shares or RSUs (rounded to the nearest whole) covered by the Award on the first anniversary of the grant date, (ii) to a maximum cumulative extent of two-thirds of the Shares or RSUs (rounded to the nearest whole) covered by the Award on the second anniversary of the grant date, and (iii) to a maximum cumulative extent of 100% of the Shares or RSUs covered by the Award on the third anniversary of the grant date.

7.2.     Restrictions .   Subject to Section 9.1, such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs may be imposed as set forth in the Award Agreement, including without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock or RSU, restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Targets with respect to one or more Performance Goals (company-wide, subsidiary-wide, divisional, and/or individual), time-based restrictions on vesting, which may or may not be following the attainment of the Performance Targets, sales restrictions under applicable stockholder agreements or similar agreements, and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.

B-11


Exhibit 10.11

unvested Shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs following termination of employment, service as a Director, or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions need not be uniform among Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment including, but not limited to, termination of employment for Cause or Good Reason, or reasons relating to the breach or threatened breach of restrictive covenants. Subject to Section 9.8, in the event that an Award Agreement does not set forth such provisions, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)  Retirement, Death or Disability .  In the event that a Participant’s employment, service as a Director, or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated due to Retirement, death or Disability, all Shares of Restricted Stock and RSUs shall immediately become fully vested on the date of termination and any restrictions shall lapse.

Section 8
Performance Awards, Performance Units and Performance Shares

8.1.     Grant of Performance Awards, Performance Units and Performance Shares . Performance Awards, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to one or more Participants in such number, upon such terms and conditions, and at any time and from time to time, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  
           
8.2.     Termination of Employment, Service as a Director or Consulting Arrangement .   The Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive payment for Performance Awards, Performance Units and/or Performance Shares following termination of the Participant’s employment, service as a Director, or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions need not be uniform among Performance Awards, Performance Unit Awards and Performance Share Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for such termination, including, but not limited to, termination for Cause or Good Reason, or reasons relating to the breach or threatened breach of restrictive covenants.  Subject to Section 9.8, in the event that an Award Agreement does not set forth such provisions, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)   Retirement, Death or Disability .  In the event that a Participant’s employment, service as a Director, or consulting arrangement with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated during a Performance Period, or prior to the date of the payment of the Performance Award, Performance Unit and/or Performance Share Award, due to Retirement (except with respect to Awards to executive officers that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception), death or Disability, the Participant shall receive a prorated payout of the Performance Awards, Performance Units and/or Performance Shares.

Section 9
General

9.1     Performance Goals . Unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and stockholders approve a change in the general Performance Goals set forth in this Section 9.1, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Awards to executive officers that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Performance Goals and Performance Targets to be used for purposes of such grants shall be established by the Committee in writing, shall be objectively measurable and shall be stated in terms of the attainment of specified levels of or percentage changes in any one or more of the following measurements: revenue; primary or fully-diluted earnings per Share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization; pretax income; adjusted pretax income; cash flows from operations; total cash flows; bookings; return on equity; return on invested capital; return on assets; net operating profits after taxes; economic value added; total stockholder return or return on sales; or any individual Performance Goal which is measured solely in terms of quantitative targets related to Zebra or Zebra’s business, or any combination thereof.  In addition, Performance Goals and Performance Targets may be based on one or more business criteria, one or more business units or divisions of Zebra or the applicable sector, or Zebra as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies.  A Performance Target need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria).  The Performance Targets for any Performance Period may be measured on an absolute basis or in relation to a peer group or an index.

For each Award intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee shall establish the applicable Performance Goal(s) and Performance Target(s) for that Award no later than the latest date that the Committee may establish such goals and targets without jeopardizing the ability of the Award to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.

The degree of payout and/or vesting of such Awards intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be determined based upon the written certification of the Committee as to the extent to which the Performance Targets and any other material terms and conditions precedent to such payment and/or vesting have been satisfied.  The Committee shall have the sole discretion to adjust the determinations of the degree of attainment of the Performance Targets; provided , however , that the Performance Targets applicable to Awards which are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and which are held by executive officers, may not be adjusted so as to increase the payment under the Award (the Committee shall retain the sole discretion to adjust such Performance Targets upward, or to otherwise reduce the amount of the payment and/or vesting of the Award relative to the Performance Targets).

B-13


Exhibit 10.11


In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee sole discretion to alter the governing Performance Goals and Performance Targets without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Committee from granting awards to executive officers that are not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.

9.2.     Non-Transferability of Awards . All ISOs granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by the Participant. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement relating to an Award, no Award shall be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by Zebra. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or the Agreement relating to an Award, each Award may be exercised or settled during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or similar person. Except to the extent permitted by the second preceding sentence or the Agreement relating to an Award, no Award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any such Award, such Award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become null and void.

9.3     Beneficiary Designation . If permitted by Zebra, each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.  Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by Zebra, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with Zebra’s Human Resources Department during the Participant’s lifetime.  The spouse of a married Participant domiciled in a community property jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a beneficiary other than such spouse. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries of a Participant predecease the Participant, then each outstanding Option and SAR hereunder held by such Participant, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised by such Participant’s executor, administrator, legal representative or similar person. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
9.4     Deferrals; Compliance with Section 409A . The Committee, in its sole discretion, may include in an Award Agreement provisions that permit a Participant to defer receipt of payment of cash or delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant upon the exercise, lapse or waiver of restrictions, or satisfaction of any requirements, goal or target with respect to such Award. Such deferral provisions shall be consistent with Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations and shall be made in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish from time to time or as may be provided in any employment agreement between Zebra and the Participant or in any deferred compensation plan maintained by Zebra.


B-14


Exhibit 10.11

9.5.     No Guarantee of Employment or Service or Right to Participate .   Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of Zebra to terminate any Participant’s employment or consulting arrangement at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of or consulting arrangement with Zebra or any Subsidiary. Temporary absence from employment because of illness, vacation, approved leaves of absence, and transfers of employment among Zebra and its Subsidiaries, shall not be considered to terminate employment or to interrupt continuous employment.  Temporary cessation of the provision of consulting services because of illness, vacation or any other reason approved in advance by Zebra shall not be considered a termination of the consulting arrangement or an interruption of the continuity thereof. 

Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, conversion of a Participant’s employment relationship to a consulting arrangement, or vice versa, shall not result in termination of previously granted Awards. No Employee, Director or consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

9.6.     Right of Setoff; Recoupment .   Zebra or any Subsidiary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and which would not trigger tax under Section 409A of the Code, deduct from and set off against any amounts Zebra or Subsidiary may owe to the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection with any Award, owed as wages, fringe benefits, or other compensation owed to the Participant, such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to Zebra, although the Participant shall remain liable for any part of the Participant’s payment obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff.  By accepting any Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff under this Section. Any Awards granted under the Plan (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Awards) shall be subject to any applicable “clawback” or other recoupment policies that Zebra has in place from time to time.

9.7     Section 83(b) Election .   No election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code or under a similar provision of the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States may be made, unless expressly permitted by the terms of the Award Agreement or by action of the Committee in writing before the making of such election.  In any case in which a Participant is permitted to make such an election in connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify Zebra of such election within ten days after filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code or other applicable provision.
           
9.8.     Change in Control .

(a)   Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) in connection with which (i) holders of Shares receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (disregarding the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and (ii) outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards are assumed or provision is made for the continuation of outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards after the Change

B-15


Exhibit 10.11

in Control, then, subject to Section 4.3, all outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards shall continue in accordance with their terms and there shall be substituted for each Share available under the Plan, whether or not then subject to an outstanding Award, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control; provided , however , in the event of any such substitution, the purchase price per share in the case of an Option and the base price in the case of an SAR shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee (whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding Options and SARs without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price; provided , further , that in the event a Participant’s employment with Zebra and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason or by Zebra or any Subsidiary without Cause on or after the date of such Change in Control and on or prior to the one-year anniversary date of such Change in Control, then all outstanding Options and SARs held by the Participant under the Plan shall become exercisable in full as of the effective date of the termination of employment and, along with any then unexercised portions of such Options and SARs, shall remain exercisable through the remaining term of such Options and SARs, as applicable, and all outstanding Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards held by the Participant under the Plan shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the termination of employment and the remainder of any Period of Restriction relating to such Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards shall lapse; provided , further , that upon the occurrence of such Change in Control the Performance Periods applicable to all outstanding Awards shall lapse and the Performance Goals applicable to such Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at the higher of (A) the amount of such Award that is payable or earned upon satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals at the target level and (B) the amount that would be accrued under generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and, along with any then unexercised portion(s) of any such Options and SARs as to which a Performance Period lapses, shall remain exercisable through the remaining terms of such Options and SARs, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement and unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s employment or other agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or (b), or in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) in connection with which (i) holders of Shares do not receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or (ii) outstanding Options and SARs are not assumed or provision is not made for the continuation of outstanding Options and SARs after the Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be surrendered to Zebra by the holder thereof, and each such Award shall immediately be canceled by Zebra, and the holder shall receive, within ten days of the occurrence of such Change in Control, a cash payment from Zebra (or any successor) in an amount equal to (i) in the case of an Option, the number of Shares then subject to such Option, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby such Change in Control takes place or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of occurrence of such Change in Control, over the Option Price per Share

B-16


Exhibit 10.11

subject to the Option, (ii) in the case of a Non-Tandem SAR, the number of Shares then subject to such SAR, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (A) the highest price per Share offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby such Change in Control takes place or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of occurrence of such Change in Control, over the base price of the SAR, (iii) in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, RSU Award, Performance Unit Award or Performance Share Award, the number of Shares, number of units or number of Performance Shares, as the case may be, then subject to such Award, multiplied by the greater of (A) the highest per Share price offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby such Change in Control takes place or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of occurrence of such Change in Control, and (iv) in the case of a Performance Award, the higher of (A) the target amount of such Award that is payable upon satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals at the target level and (B) the amount that would be accrued under generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control. In the event of such Change in Control, each Tandem SAR shall be surrendered by the holder thereof and shall be canceled simultaneously with the cancellation of the related Option. Zebra may, but is not required to, cooperate with any person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to assure that any cash payment in accordance with the foregoing to such person is made in compliance with Section 16 and the rules and regulations thereunder.

9.9.     Amendment, Modification, and Termination .   The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards without the consent of stockholders or Participants; provided , however , that any amendment to the Plan shall be submitted to Zebra’s stockholders for approval not later than the earliest annual meeting for which the record date is after the date of such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Shares may then be listed or quoted and the Board may otherwise, in its sole discretion, determine to submit other amendments to the Plan to stockholders for approval; and provided , further , that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no Board or Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award, unless such action is determined by the Board or Committee in good faith to be necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule (including Section 409A of the Code).  Subject to the preceding sentence, the Committee may waive or modify any term of an Award to the extent that the terms of the Award Agreement, taking the waiver or modification into account, would have been permissible if included in the original Award Agreement, but shall have no authority to waive or modify any other Award term after the Award has been granted to the extent that the waived or modified term was mandatory under the Plan.

9.10.      Tax Withholding .   Zebra shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to Zebra, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or RSUs, upon the satisfaction of Performance Targets, or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of Zebra, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having Zebra withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined in

B-17


Exhibit 10.11

an amount that does not exceed the minimum statutory total tax which would be imposed on the transaction.  All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that Zebra deems appropriate.

9.11.     Unfunded Plan .   The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant or obligation to deliver Shares pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of Zebra; provided, however , that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash, Shares, other Awards or other property, or make other arrangements to meet Zebra’s obligations under the Plan.  Such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant.

9.12     Forfeitures; Fractional Shares .   Unless otherwise determined by Zebra, in the event of a forfeiture of an Award with respect to which a Participant paid cash consideration, the Participant shall be repaid the amount of such cash consideration.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.  Zebra shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

9.13.     No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary and subject to Section 4.3, the terms of outstanding Options or SARs may not be amended to reduce the exercise price or base price, as the case may be, and no Option or SAR shall be canceled in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR without the approval of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively by the holders of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting in which the reduction of such exercise price or base price, or the cancellation and regranting of an Award, as the case may be, is considered for approval.


9.14.     Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code .   Zebra intends that Options, SARs and other Awards granted to executive officers who constitute covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code shall satisfy the requirements of the Performance-Based Exception, unless otherwise determined by the Committee when the Award is granted.  Accordingly, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement designated as intended to satisfy the Performance-Based Exception does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall be deemed to confer upon the Committee or any other person sole discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in connection with any such Award upon attainment of the applicable Performance Goals. With respect to any Option, SAR, or other Award designed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, Zebra reserves the right to delay a Participant’s exercise or the lapse or satisfaction of restrictions of such Award if Zebra reasonably determines that issuance or payment under the Award would not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code. With respect to any other Award,

B-18


Exhibit 10.11

payment of any amount that Zebra reasonably determines would not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be deferred until the earlier of the earliest date on which Zebra reasonably determines that the deductibility of the payment will not be so limited, or the year following the termination of employment.

9.15.     Awards to Participants Outside the United States .  The Committee may modify the terms of any Award made to or held by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions, applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States.  An Award may be modified under this Section in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified.

9.16.     Successors .   All obligations of Zebra under the Plan with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor to Zebra, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Zebra or otherwise.

9.17.     Governing Law; Venue .   To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or any award under the Plan shall be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and no other court, agency or tribunal shall have jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute, controversy or claim.

9.18.     Incapacity of Recipient .   If the Committee is served with a court order holding that a person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such distribution, the Committee shall postpone payment until such time as a claim therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person. The Committee is under no obligation to inquire or investigate as to the competency of any person entitled to a distribution. Any payment to an appointed guardian or other legal representative under this Section shall be a payment for the account of the incapacitated person and a complete discharge of any liability of Zebra and the Plan therefor.

9.19.     Other Plans .   Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Committee or Zebra from adopting other non-stockholder approved plans, policies and arrangements for granting incentives and other compensation to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries or adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applic7able or applicable only in specific cases.

6.2.      Performance Measures and Performance Targets . The Committee shall establish the Performance Goals and Performance Targets for the Company and the Participants, as applicable, under each Incentive Award. The Committee may also determine the extent to which each applicable Performance Goal shall be weighted with respect a Participant and/or an Incentive Award.
6.3.      Award Levels; Eligibility for Payment . The Committee shall establish for each Participant the amount payable with respect to each Incentive Award at specified levels of performance, based on the Performance Targets for each Performance Period and the weighting established for such criterion, if applicable. All such determinations regarding the achievement of any Performance Targets shall be made by the Committee. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, in order to be eligible for payment in respect of an Incentive Award, a Participant must be an Employee on the last day of the Performance Period or such other date as determined by the Committee for which such Incentive Award is earned.
6.4.      Form of Payment . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Incentive Award, all Incentive Awards shall be payable in cash in a lump sum payment.
6.5.      Timing of Payment . Incentive Awards shall be paid promptly following the Committee’s determination of whether and the extent to which Performance Targets have been achieved with respect to the Performance Period, but in no event will such Incentive Awards be paid later than December 31 of the year following the Performance Period in which such Incentive Awards are earned; provided , however , that in the case of a Participant whose employment terminates on or before December 31 of a calendar year that falls within a Performance Period, if the Committee determines that such Participant shall be entitled to payment in respect of all or a portion of the Participant’s Incentive Award with respect to such Performance Period, then such payment shall be made to such Participant not later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5, the Committee shall have the right to allow Participants to elect to defer the payment of Incentive Awards subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided , however, that each Participant’s election to defer the payment of an Incentive Award complies with the terms of the applicable plan or program of Zebra or its Subsidiaries.
6.6.      Termination of Employment .   The Incentive Award shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive payment for Incentive Awards following termination of the Participant’s employment; provided, however , that with respect to Incentive Awards to executive officers that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, such exceptions shall be limited to death, Disability or a Change in Control.  Such provisions need not be uniform and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for such termination, including, but not limited to, termination for Cause or Good Reason, or

6



reasons relating to the breach or threatened breach of restrictive covenants.  Subject to Section 8.5, in the event that an Incentive Award or an employment agreement between Zebra or a Subsidiary and the Participant does not set forth such provisions, the following provisions shall apply:
(a)      Retirement, Death or Disability .  In the event that a Participant’s employment with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated during a Performance Period, or prior to the date of the payment of the Incentive Award if so provided in the Incentive Award, due to Retirement (except with respect to Incentive Awards to executive officers that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception), death or Disability, the Participant shall receive a prorated payout of the Incentive Award. 
(b)      Other Termination.  In the event that a Participant’s employment with Zebra and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated during a Performance Period for any reason other than the reasons set forth in 6.6(a), or prior to the date of the payment of the Incentive Award if so provided in the Incentive Award, the Incentive Award shall be forfeited. 
6.7.      Tax Withholding .   Zebra shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to Zebra, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan.
Section 7     
Performance Goals
7.1.      Performance Goals . Unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and stockholders approve a change in the general Performance Goals set forth in this Section 7.1, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Incentive Awards to executive officers that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Performance Goals and Performance Targets to be used for purposes of such grants shall be established by the Committee in writing, shall be objectively measurable and shall be stated in terms of the attainment of specified levels of or percentage changes in any one or more of the following measurements: revenue; primary or fully-diluted earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization; pretax income; adjusted pretax income; cash flows from operations; total cash flows; bookings; return on equity; return on invested capital; return on assets; net operating profits after taxes; economic value added; total stockholder return or return on sales; or any individual Performance Goal which is measured solely in terms of quantitative targets related to Zebra or Zebra’s business; or any combination thereof.  In addition, Performance Goals and Performance Targets may be based on one or more business criteria, one or more business units or divisions of Zebra or the applicable sector, or Zebra as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies.  A Performance Target need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to

7



specific business criteria).  The Performance Targets for any Performance Period may be measured on an absolute basis or in relation to a peer group or an index.
In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee sole discretion to alter the governing Performance Goals and Performance Targets without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Committee from granting Incentive Awards to executive officers that are not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.
7.2.      Timing of Establishment . For each Incentive Award intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee shall establish the applicable Performance Goal(s) and Performance Target(s) for that Incentive Award no later than the latest date that the Committee may establish such goals and targets without jeopardizing the ability of the Incentive Award to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.
7.3.      Determination of Payout . The degree of payout and/or vesting of such Incentive Awards intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be determined based upon the written certification of the Committee as to the extent to which the Performance Targets and any other material terms and conditions precedent to such payment and/or vesting have been satisfied.  The Committee shall have the sole discretion to adjust the determinations of the degree of attainment of the Performance Targets; provided, however , that the Performance Targets applicable to Incentive Awards which are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and which are held by executive officers, may not be adjusted so as to increase the payment under the Incentive Award (the Committee shall retain the sole discretion to adjust such Performance Targets upward, or to otherwise reduce the amount of the payment and/or vesting of the Incentive Award relative to the Performance Targets).
Section 8     
General
8.1.      Beneficiary Designation . If permitted by Zebra, each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.  Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by Zebra, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with Zebra’s Human Resources Department during the Participant’s lifetime.  The spouse of a married Participant domiciled in a community property jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a beneficiary other than such spouse. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries of a Participant predecease the Participant, then the Incentive Award, if any, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
8.2.      Deferrals; Compliance with Section 409A . A Participant may elect by written notice delivered to the Zebra at the time and in the form required by the Zebra or the Committee to defer payment of all or any

8



portion of an Incentive Award the Participant might earn with respect to a year, all in accordance with the Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish from time to time or as may be provided in any employment agreement between Zebra and the Participant or in any deferred compensation plan maintained by Zebra.
8.3.      No Guarantee of Employment or Right to Participate .   Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of Zebra to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of Zebra or any Subsidiary. Temporary absence from employment because of illness, vacation, approved leaves of absence, and transfers of employment among Zebra and its Subsidiaries, shall not be considered to terminate employment or to interrupt continuous employment.  No Employee shall have the right to be selected to receive an Incentive Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Incentive Award.
8.4.      Right of Setoff; Recoupment .   Zebra or any Subsidiary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and which would not trigger tax under Section 409A of the Code, deduct from and set off against any amounts Zebra or Subsidiary may owe to the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection with any Incentive Award, owed as wages, fringe benefits, or other compensation owed to the Participant, such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to Zebra, although the Participant shall remain liable for any part of the Participant’s payment obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff.  By accepting any Incentive Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff under this Section. Any Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Incentive Awards) shall be subject to any applicable “clawback” or other recoupment policies that Zebra has in place from time to time.
8.5.      Change in Control. Except as provided in an Incentive Award and absent any action taken by the Board or the Committee to continue the Plan for the remainder of an outstanding Performance Period in which a Change in Control occurs, in the event of a Change in Control, each Participant subject to an outstanding Incentive Award shall receive a prorated payment of the target payout under the Incentive Award.
8.6.      Amendment, Modification, and Termination .   The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Incentive Awards without the consent of stockholders or Participants; provided, however , that any amendment to the Plan shall be submitted to Zebra’s stockholders for approval not later than the earliest annual meeting for which the record date is after the date of such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares of Class A Common Stock of Zebra may then be listed or quoted and the Board may otherwise, in its sole discretion, determine to submit other amendments to the Plan to stockholders for approval; and provided further , that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no Board or Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Incentive Award, unless such action is determined by the Board or Committee in good faith to be necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule (including Section 409A of the Code).  Subject to the preceding sentence, the

9



Committee may waive or modify any term of an Award to the extent that the terms of the Award Agreement, taking the waiver or modification into account, would have been permissible if included in the original Award Agreement, but shall have no authority to waive or modify any other Incentive Award term after the Incentive Award has been granted to the extent that the waived or modified term was mandatory under the Plan.
8.7.      Unfunded Plan .   The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Incentive Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Incentive Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of Zebra; provided, however , that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash or other property, or make other arrangements to meet Zebra’s obligations under the Plan.  Such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant.
8.8.      Compliance with Code Section 162(m) .   Zebra intends that Incentive Awards granted to executive officers who constitute covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code shall satisfy the requirements of the Performance-Based Exception, unless otherwise determined by the Committee when the Incentive Award is granted.  Accordingly, the Plan and such Incentive Awards shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder with respect to an executive officer.  If any provision of the Plan or any Incentive Award designated as intended to satisfy the Performance-Based Exception does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall be deemed to confer upon the Committee or any other person sole discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in connection with any such Incentive Award upon attainment of the applicable Performance Targets. Payment of any amount that Zebra reasonably determines would not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be deferred until the earlier of the earliest date on which Zebra reasonably determines that the deductibility of the payment will not be so limited, or the year following the termination of employment.
8.9.      Awards to Participants Outside the United States .  The Committee may modify the terms of any Incentive Award made to or held by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Incentive Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Incentive Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions, applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad shall be comparable to the value of such an Incentive Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States.  An Incentive Award may be modified under this Section in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Incentive Award is modified.

10



8.10.      Successors .   All obligations of Zebra under the Plan with respect to Incentive Awards shall be binding on any successor to Zebra, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Zebra or otherwise.
8.11.      Governing Law; Venue .   To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or any award under the Plan shall be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and no other court, agency or tribunal shall have jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute, controversy or claim.
8.12.      Incapacity of Recipient . If the Committee is served with a court order holding that a person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such distribution, the Committee shall postpone payment until such time as a claim therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person. The Committee is under no obligation to inquire or investigate as to the competency of any person entitled to a distribution. Any payment to an appointed guardian or other legal representative under this Section shall be a payment for the account of the incapacitated person and a complete discharge of any liability of Zebra and the Plan therefor.
8.13.      Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Committee or Zebra from adopting other non-stockholder approved plans, policies and arrangements for granting incentives and other compensation to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries or adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

R E C I T A L S:
A.    Landlord's predecessor in title (LaSalle Bank National Association as successor trustee to American National Bank And Trust Company of Chicago u/t/a dated 11-6-1989 a/k/a/ Trust No. 109810-09) and HEWITT ASSOCIATES LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“ Hewitt ”) entered into a certain Amended and Restated Lease, dated December 1, 1989 (the “ Original Hewitt Lease ”), as amended and supplemented by the following: First Amendment to Lease, dated as of September 28, 2001, and commencement date letter, dated May 14, 1991; and contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Hewitt are entering into a certain Second Amendment to Lease (the “ Hewitt Second Amendment ”) (the Original Hewitt Lease, as so modified and supplemented, is referred to herein as the " Hewitt Lease "). Under the terms of the Hewitt Lease, Landlord leases to Hewitt all rentable space in the Building.

B.    Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant is entering into a sublease with Hewitt whereby Tenant will sublease from Hewitt (the “ Zebra Sublease ”) a portion of the Building, which Zebra Sublease is subject to Landlord’s approval pursuant to the Hewitt Lease. The Zebra Sublease shall grant to Tenant possession of the Premises leased to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, with the intention that the Premises will be occupied by Tenant pursuant to the Zebra Sublease until the expiration of the term thereof and thereafter the Premises will be occupied by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, all without the need to surrender the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Zebra Sublease. The space subleased to Tenant under the Zebra Sublease is referred to herein as the “ Zebra Sublease Premises ”.

C.    The Hewitt Lease is scheduled to expire February 28, 2017, and it is anticipated that the Zebra Sublease will expire on that date as well.

D.    The Zebra Sublease gives Tenant certain rights to expand the Zebra Sublease Premises to include all or a portion of the remaining premises under the Hewitt Lease (the “ Zebra Sublease Expansion Option ”). The Hewitt Second Amendment gives Landlord certain rights to recapture all or a portion of the portion of the premises under the Hewitt Lease that is not a part of the Zebra Sublease Premises (the “ Hewitt Lease Landlord Recapture Right ”).

E.    Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Lease, for a term commencing March 1, 2017.

WITNESSETH:
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby accepts the Premises, for a term (" Term ") commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, paying as rent therefor the sums hereinafter provided, without any setoff, abatement, counterclaim, or deduction whatsoever, except as herein expressly provided.
IN CONSIDERATION THEREOF, THE PARTIES HERETO COVENANT AND AGREE:
1. Base Rent; Rent Abatement Period.
(a)     Base Rent . Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date (as defined in the Schedule of Significant Terms, but subject to the provisions of Section 5), and subject to periodic adjustment as hereinafter provided, Tenant shall pay an annual base rent (herein called " Base Rent ") to Landlord for the Premises in the amount stipulated in the Schedule of Significant Terms, payable in monthly installments (herein called " Monthly Base Rent ") in the amount stipulated in the Schedule of Significant Terms, in advance on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first day of the first full calendar month and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter of the Term, and at the same rate prorated for fractions of a month if the Rent Commencement Date shall be on any date except the first day, or the Term shall end on any day except the last day of a calendar month. Base Rent, Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined), monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses (as hereinafter defined) and all other amounts becoming due from Tenant to Landlord herein (herein collectively called the " Rent ") shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at the address designated in Section 26 hereof, or as otherwise designated from time to time by written notice from Landlord to Tenant. The obligation to pay Rent hereunder is independent of each and every other covenant and agreement contained in this Lease.
(b)     Rent Abatement . Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Sections 1(a) above or 2 below to the contrary, Tenant will have the right to occupy the Premises during the Abatement Period (defined below) without the payment or accrual of liability for the installments of Monthly Base Rent, and without the payment or accrual of liability for Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expenses, but with the accrual of and full liability for all other rent accruing during the Abatement Period, if any. Tenant's obligation to make payments of Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expense after the end of the Abatement Period will commence immediately after the expiration of the Abatement Period, and such appropriate amounts will be due and payable on the first day after the end of the Abatement Period. If at any time prior to or during the Abatement Period, an Event of Default occurs under this Lease, any rights granted to Tenant under this Section 1(b) will terminate, and Tenant will be obligated to pay and will be liable for any and all portions of Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expenses falling due or accruing from and after such Event of Default. Any cessation of rights pursuant to this Section 1(b) will not in any way extend the length of the Abatement Period. For purposes hereof, the “ Abatement Period ” means the period beginning on March 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall have the option at any time, in connection with any sale, recapitalization, or finance of the Building, to make a cash payment to Tenant in the amount of the remaining rent to be abated during the Abatement Period(s) under this Section 1(b). Upon Landlord’s tender of such payment, Tenant shall no longer be entitled to abate any rent pursuant to this Section 1(b). Landlord may exercise its option to buy out Tenant’s rent abatement by notice given to Tenant at least ten (10) days before the closing of the sale, recapitalization, or finance of the Building, and shall make the payment to Tenant on or immediately following the date of such closing.

2.      Additional Rent.

With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of 100% of the rentable area thereof, or Landlord is not supplying services to 100% of the rentable area thereof, the Expenses for such period which vary with the occupancy of the Building shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of 100% of the rentable area thereof and Landlord had been supplying services to 100% of the rentable area thereof. Accordingly, if Landlord is supplying any service to one or more tenants but not to all tenants of the Building, Landlord may allocate 100% of the Expenses to those tenants receiving such service. Landlord shall not (i) make a profit by charging items to Expenses that are otherwise also charged separately to others and (ii) subject to Landlord’s right to adjust the components of Expenses described above in this Section, collect Expenses from Tenant and all other tenants in the Building in an amount in excess of what Landlord incurs for the items included in the Expenses.

(iv)      " Taxes " shall mean all real estate taxes, assessments (whether they be general or special), sewer rents, rates and charges, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of rent, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary (but not including income or franchise taxes (other than personal property replacement income taxes) or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord's income or profits, unless the same shall be imposed in lieu of the real estate taxes or other ad valorem taxes), which may now or hereafter be levied, imposed or assessed against the Building or the land on which the Building is located (the " Land "), or both during an Adjustment Year, all or a portion of which is within the Term (prorated for partial years pursuant to clause (f) below). Tenant shall be only obligated to pay Taxes which are assessed during the term of this Lease, irrespective of when such Taxes are due and payable, except as otherwise set forth below. The Building and the Land are herein collectively called the " Real Property ."
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a)(iv):
(A)      If at any time during the Term of this Lease the method of taxation then prevailing shall be altered so that any new tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge or any part thereof shall be imposed upon Landlord in addition to, or in place or partly in place of any such Taxes, or contemplated increase therein, and shall be measured by or be based in whole or in part upon the Real Property or the rents or other income therefrom, then all such new taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges or part thereof, to the extent that they are so measured or based, shall be included in Taxes levied, imposed, or assessed against real property to the extent that such items would be payable if the Real Property were the only property of Landlord subject thereto and the income received by Landlord from the Real Property were the only income of Landlord.
(B)      Notwithstanding the year for which any such taxes or assessments are levied, (i) in the case of special taxes or special assessments which may be payable in installments, the amount of each installment, plus any interest payable thereon (but not including penalty interest), paid during a calendar year shall be included in Taxes for that year and (ii) if any taxes or assessments payable during any calendar year shall be computed with respect to a period in excess of twelve (12) calendar months, but not to exceed thirteen (13) calendar months, then taxes or assessments applicable to the excess period shall be included in Taxes for that year. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2, all references to Taxes "for" a particular year shall be deemed to refer to taxes levied, assessed or otherwise imposed for such year without regard to when such taxes are payable.
(C)      Taxes shall also include any personal property taxes (attributable to the calendar year in which paid) imposed upon the furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and appurtenances used in connection with the Real Property or the operation thereof and located at the Building.
(v)      Permitted Capital Items ” means:
(a) capital improvements completed after the Commencement Date which, at the time Landlord performs the same, Landlord reasonably estimates will cause a reduction (or a reduction in increases) in Expenses over the useful life of such improvements in an amount exceeding the cost of such improvements;
(b) capital improvements required by governmental laws, codes, ordinances, rules or regulations, or insurance regulations, enacted or promulgated after the Commencement Date;
(c) the cost of resurfacing and replacing the parking area,
provided that, in each case such cost is amortized by Landlord over the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably estimated by Landlord, with interest on the unamortized amount at 8% per annum, and such amortized costs (including interest as aforesaid) are only included in Expenses under this Lease for that portion of the useful life of the capital improvement which falls within the Term;
(d) the cost of repairs and restoration for any casualty damage covered by Landlord’s property insurance, up to the amount of Landlord’s reasonable deductibles (subject to the limitations thereon set forth in Section 2(a)A above; Landlord represents that its fire damage deductible as of the date hereof is $25,000, which is subject to change without notice but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)A above); and
(e) items which are generally considered maintenance and repair items, such as, but not limited to, landscaping, painting of common areas, replacement of carpet and wallpaper in elevator lobbies and common corridors, replacing broken windows, and the like.
(vi)      " Tenant's Proportionate Share " shall mean the percentage stipulated in the Schedule of Significant Terms which is the percentage obtained by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the Rentable Area of the Building.
(vii)      " Additional Rent " shall mean all amounts determined pursuant to this Section 2 including any amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord on account thereof.
(b)      Computation of Additional Rent . Tenant shall pay Additional Rent for each Adjustment Year determined as hereinafter set forth. Additional Rent payable by Tenant with respect to each Adjustment Year during which an Adjustment Date falls shall include the following amounts:
(i)      Tenant's Proportionate Share multiplied by the Expenses for such Adjustment Year (the " Expense Adjustment "); plus
(ii)      Tenant's Proportionate Share multiplied by the Taxes for such Adjustment Year (the " Tax Adjustment ").
(c)      Payments of Additional Rent; Estimates . Tenant shall make payments on account of the Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment on an estimated basis effective as of the Adjustment Date for each Adjustment Year as follows:
(i)      During each December during the Term, or as soon after each December as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than March 1 st of each succeeding year, Landlord will give Tenant written notice or notices (each, a " Notice of Estimate ") of Landlord's reasonable estimates, forecasts or projections of Taxes (“ Estimated Taxes ”) and Expenses (“ Estimated Expenses ”) for the ensuing Adjustment Year. Landlord’s Notice of Estimate may also set forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses for such Adjustment Year. Landlord's budgets of Expenses and the Estimated Expenses based thereon shall assume full occupancy and use of the Building and may be revised by Landlord from time to time based on changes in rates, actual experience, and other criteria which are components of budget items.
(ii)      Until such time as Landlord furnishes a Notice of Estimate for an Adjustment Year, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses equal to the latest required monthly installment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses based upon the latest Notice of Estimate issued by Landlord. Upon receipt of the Notice of Estimate, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimate Expenses, set forth therein will in each case be divided into 12 equal monthly installments, and Tenant will pay Landlord, at the same time that the next regular monthly rental payment is due, the number of installments necessary to bring the Tenant current for the calendar year. Credit will be given for any payment of monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses, respectively, already made for those months. Subsequent installments will be payable together with the regular rent payments for the balance of the calendar year and will continue until payments begin under the following calendar year's Notice of Estimate.
(d)      Readjustments . The following readjustments with regard to the Tax Adjustment and Expense Adjustment shall be made by Landlord and Tenant:
(i)      Following the end of each Adjustment Year and after Landlord shall have determined the amounts of Expenses to be used in calculating the Expense Adjustment for such Adjustment Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (" Landlord's Expense Statement ") of such Expenses for such Adjustment Year. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to deliver Landlord’s Expense Statement by April 30 of the year following such Adjustment Year. Delays by Landlord in submitting such Landlord’s Expense Statements or mistakes by Landlord in such statements will not prejudice Landlord's right to collect any rent due under this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord’s right to make any such corrections in respect of an Adjustment Year will not extend beyond December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Adjustment Year to which such Landlord’s Expense Statement appertains; provided, further, that Landlord will have the benefit of any correction of Expenses in Landlord’s favor in connection with Tenant’s audit pursuant to Section 2(e) notwithstanding that such correction may occur after the deadline for corrections as set forth above. If the Expense Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year exceeds Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Expenses for such Adjustment Year, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of Landlord's Expense Statement, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess of the Expense Adjustment over Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Expenses for such Adjustment Year. If Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Expenses for such Adjustment Year exceeds the Expense Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Rent payable after the date of Landlord's Expense Statement, or may, at its option, credit such excess to any Rent then due and owing, until such excess has been exhausted. If the Expiration Date shall occur prior to full application of such excess, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the balance thereof not theretofore applied against Rent and not reasonably required for payment of Additional Rent for the Adjustment Year in which the Expiration Date occurs.
(ii)      Following the end of each Adjustment Year and after Landlord shall have determined the actual amounts of Taxes to be used in calculating the Tax Adjustment for such Adjustment Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (" Landlord's Tax Statement ") of such Taxes for such Adjustment Year. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to deliver Landlord’s Tax Statement within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the final bill for Taxes from the applicable taxing authority for such Adjustment Year. Delays by Landlord in submitting such Landlord’s Tax Statements or mistakes by Landlord in such statements will not prejudice Landlord's right to collect any rent due under this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord’s right to make any such corrections in respect of any Adjustment Year will not extend beyond the later of (a) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which occurs the final deadline for Landlord’s payment of Taxes for such Adjustment Year to the applicable taxing authority; and (b) the 180 th day after Landlord’s receipt of such final bill from the applicable taxing authority; provided, further, that Landlord will have the benefit of any correction of Taxes in Landlord’s favor in connection with Tenant’s audit pursuant to Section 2(e) notwithstanding that such correction may occur after the deadline for corrections as set forth above. If the Tax Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year exceeds Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes for such Adjustment Year, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord's Tax Statement, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess of the Tax Adjustment over Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes for such Adjustment Year. If Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes for such Adjustment Year exceeds the Tax Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Rent payable after the date of Landlord's Tax Statement, or may, at its election, credit such excess to any Rent then due and owing, until such excess has been exhausted. If the Expiration Date shall occur prior to full application of such excess, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the balance thereof not theretofore applied against Rent and not reasonably required for payment of Additional Rent for the Adjustment Year in which the Expiration Date occurs.
(iii)      No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts which Landlord is obligated to credit or pay to Tenant by reason of this Section 2(d).
(iv)      The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 2(d) will survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
(e)      Books and Records . Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Expenses and Taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (except as otherwise set forth in this Lease). Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, to examine Landlord's books and records showing Expenses and Taxes (as applicable) upon five (5) business days’ prior written notice and during normal business hours provided that such notice of Tenant’s election to perform such examination is given to Landlord within 150 days following the furnishing by the Landlord to the Tenant of Landlord's Expense Statement or Landlord’s Tax Statement, as the case may be, provided for in Section 2(d). Tenant's examination may be conducted by any party designated by Tenant that is reasonably acceptable to Landlord. It is hereby understood and agreed that the following parties are not reasonably acceptable: (i) any competitor of Landlord engaged in the development and ownership of real estate, (ii) real estate brokers, (iii) parties engaged in the business of auditing building owners' books or records on a contingent fee basis, and (iv) any party that is not an independent, licensed CPA or does not have an independent CPA on staff and involved in such audit. Unless the Tenant shall take written exception to any item within 180 days after the furnishing of the Landlord's Expense Statement or Landlord’s Tax Statement, as the case may be, containing said item, such Landlord's Expense Statement or Landlord’s Tax Statement, as applicable, shall be considered as final and accepted by the Tenant. If Tenant takes exception to any item in Landlord’s Expense Statement or Landlord's Tax Statement, as applicable, within the applicable time period, and if agreement cannot be reached within two (2) weeks thereafter, then Tenant’s auditor and Landlord or Landlord’s accountant shall together select a third auditor or accountant (who shall meet the qualifications set forth above and must not be affiliated with and must not perform services for either party or their affiliates) to which they shall each promptly submit their findings in a final report, with copies submitted simultaneously to Tenant’s auditor and Landlord’s auditor or accountant, and to Tenant and Landlord. Within two (2) weeks after receipt of such findings, the third auditor or accountant shall determine which of the two reports best meets the terms of this Lease, which report shall become binding on the parties. The third auditor shall not have the option of selecting a compromise between the first two auditors’ (or Tenant’s auditor’s and Landlord’s accountant’s) findings, nor to make any other finding. The party required to make payment under such adjustment shall pay all fees and expenses of such third auditor or accountant unless the payment represents five percent (5%) or less of the annual Expense Adjustment shown on Landlord's Expense Statement or Landlord’s Tax Statement, as applicable, in which case Tenant shall bear all such fees and expenses.
(f)      Proration and Survival . With respect to any Adjustment Year which does not fall entirely within the term, Tenant shall be obligated to pay as Additional Rent for such adjustment year only a pro rata share of Additional Rent as hereinabove determined, based upon the number of days of the Term falling within the Adjustment Year. Following expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay any Additional Rent due to the Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord's Expense Statement or Landlord’s Tax Statement, as applicable, sent to Tenant. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay Additional Rent provided for in this Section 2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Additional Rent for any partial calendar month will be prorated per diem.
(g)      No Decrease in Base Rent. In no event shall any Additional Rent result in a decrease of the Base Rent payable hereunder as set forth in Section 1 hereof.
(h)      Additional Rent. All amounts payable by Tenant as or on account of Additional Rent shall be deemed to be additional rent becoming due under this Lease.
(i)      Adjustment of Tenant's Proportionate Share. If at any time in the future the number of rentable square feet of office space in the Building is reduced, by reason of change in the Building structure (such as conversion of rentable space to common area or tenant amenity) or by reason of the separation of ownership of a portion of the Building by a device such as vertical subdivision or submission of the Building to a condominium form of ownership, with the result that Tenant's Proportionate Share no longer reflects the percentage of office space in the Building for which Landlord is responsible for Taxes and Expenses, then Landlord shall be entitled to make an equitable adjustment in Tenant's Proportionate Share to reflect the change in such circumstances.
3.      Use of Premises.
(a)      Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises (i) for Tenant's executive and general offices and for such related purposes as are described in subsection (b) of this Section 3; and (ii) as to the portion of the Premises on the ground floor designated in Exhibit A as the location of the cafeteria, a kitchen and cafeteria (together, the “ Cafeteria ”) for Tenant’s exclusive use, except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, and for no other purpose (the “ Permitted Use ”). For the purposes of this Section 3, Tenant shall be deemed to include Tenant's permitted subtenants, assigns, and occupants. The Cafeteria will be for Tenant’s exclusive use, except that Tenant may, with Landlord’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and subject to Landlord’s reasonable requirements, also elect to serve other tenants and occupants of the Building from such Cafeteria.
(b)      Landlord agrees that, in connection with and incidental to Tenant's use of the Premises for the office purposes set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 3, provided the same complies with zoning and all other applicable laws, and with the certificate of occupancy for the Premises, Tenant may use portions of the Premises for (i) the preparation and service of food and beverages from a pantry kitchen or lounge all for the exclusive use by officers, employees and business guests of Tenant (but not for use as a public restaurant or by other tenants of the Building), (ii) the operation of vending machines for the exclusive use of officers, employees and business guests of Tenant, provided that each vending machine, where necessary, shall have a waterproof pan thereunder and be connected to a drain, (iii) the installation, maintenance and operation of electronic data processing equipment, computer processing facilities and business machines, provided that such equipment is contained within the Premises and does not cause vibrations, noise, or electrical interference to other tenants of the Building or the elevators or other equipment in the Building; and (iv) engineering labs provided that such engineering labs comply with all applicable laws and ordinances and rules and regulations of governmental departments or agencies and do not exceed 30,000 rentable square feet of space in the aggregate (“ Lab Space ”); provided, however, that if Tenant leases all of the rentable space on the 5 th floor of the Building (pursuant to Section 43 or otherwise by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant) then such maximum Lab Space area will be increased by 6,500 rentable square feet to a total maximum of 36,500 rentable square feet. With respect to any use permitted under this Section 3, any such use shall not violate any laws or requirements of public authorities, constitute a public or private nuisance, interfere with or cause physical discomfort to any of the other tenants or occupants of the Building, interfere with the operation of the Building or the maintenance of same as a first‑class office building, or violate any of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease.
(c)      Tenant hereby represents, warrants, and agrees that Tenant's business is not and shall not be photographic, multilith, or multigraph reproductions or offset printing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used, (i) for the business of photographic, multilith, or multigraph reproductions or offset printing, (ii) for a retail banking, trust company, depository, guarantee, or safe deposit business open to the general public, (iii) as a savings bank, a savings and loan association, or as a loan company open to the general public, (iv) for the sale to the general public of travelers checks, money orders, drafts, foreign exchange or letters of credit or for the receipt of money for transmission, (v) as a stock broker's or dealer's office or for the underwriting or sale of securities open to the general public, (vi) except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3, as a restaurant or bar or for the sale of confectionery, soda, beverages, sandwiches, ice cream, or baked goods or for the preparation, dispensing, or consumption of food or beverages in any manner whatsoever, (vii) as a news or cigar stand, (viii) as an employment agency, labor union office, physician's or dentist's office, dance, or music studio, school (except for the training of employees of Tenant), (ix) as a travel agency, or (x) as a barber shop or beauty salon. Nothing in this subsection (c) shall preclude Tenant from using any part of the Premises for photographic, multilith, or multigraph reproductions in connection with, either directly or indirectly, its own business or activities.
(d)      Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord and other tenants of the Building to enable Landlord and other tenants of the Building to have reasonable access to the NetPop, telephone closets, Building risers, and such other portions of the Building (including those which may be wholly or partially located in the Premises) as reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable other tenants to have voice/data connectivity to their premises in the Building. Tenant will have no right or authority to grant any provider the exclusive right to provide any particular service within the Building.
(e)      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant will have access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, excluding emergencies.
4.      Prior Occupancy.
The parties acknowledge that Tenant will occupy the Premises or portions thereof prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, pursuant to the Zebra Sublease.
5.      Termination of Hewitt Lease.
In the event that the Hewitt Lease is terminated for any reason other than (i) a “Default” (as defined in the Hewitt Lease) that is caused by Tenant (as defined in this Lease) or a Tenant Party (as defined in Section 7(c)), or by a breach by Tenant (as the subtenant under the Zebra Sublease) under the Zebra Sublease; or (ii) as a result of casualty or condemnation in accordance with the terms of the Hewitt Lease (the “ Excluded Termination Events ”), then provided that the Zebra Sublease is, immediately before such termination of the Hewitt Lease, in full force and effect and Tenant (as subtenant) is not then in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period of its obligations as the sublessee under the Zebra Sublease, then the Lease Term of this Lease will be deemed to commence automatically (the “ Early Lease Term Commencement Date ”) upon the termination of the Zebra Sublease (simultaneously with the termination of the Hewitt Lease), as set forth in this Section. During the period beginning upon such Early Lease Term Commencement Date and until the Commencement Date set forth in the Schedule of Significant Terms (the “ Early Lease Term ”), (a) Tenant will pay Monthly Base Rent at the rate of $0 per rentable square foot per annum for the lower level portion of the Premises, and $0 per rentable square foot per annum for the ground floor and above-ground floor portions of the Premises; (b) Tenant will pay Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment as set forth in this Lease, notwithstanding that the Early Lease Term begins and expires before the Rent Commencement Date; and (c) except as otherwise set forth in this Section, all provisions of this Lease will apply during Early Lease Term. The rent abatement during the Abatement Period, as set forth in Section 1(b), will not apply to the Early Lease Term. Any space into which Tenant expands pursuant to the Zebra Sublease will be included in the Premises during the Early Lease Term beginning on the Early Lease Term Commencement Date. The Early Lease Term Commencement Date will be confirmed by the parties in a commencement date agreement to be prepared by Landlord. The Expiration Date of the Lease Term will not be affected by the Early Lease Term.

6.      Alterations.
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, make any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises (including the installation of systems furniture or other equipment or personal property that affects or otherwise connects to the Building’s systems), and any such alterations, improvement, or additions desired by Tenant shall be installed at Tenant’s expense only in accordance with plans and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section 6. Landlord’s consent thereto shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold its consent to any alterations, additions, or improvements, that (i)  are not consistent with the first-class nature or the architectural character of the Building; (ii) could adversely affect the structure of the Building, the Building systems or the Building circuitry; (iii) could increase Landlord's costs of operating and maintaining the Building; (iv) would violate the terms of any applicable zoning or building laws or ordinances; or (v) would disturb other tenants of the Building, for example, by requiring entry into the premises of other tenants; the foregoing being merely examples of reasons for which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent and will not be deemed exclusive of any permitted reasons for reasonably withholding consent, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing examples. If Landlord consents to said alterations, improvements, or additions, it may impose such conditions with respect thereto as Landlord deems appropriate, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with insurance against liabilities which may arise out of such work, plans and specifications and permits necessary for such work. The work necessary to make any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises shall be done at Tenant's expense by employees of, or contractors hired by, Landlord, except to the extent Landlord gives its prior written consent to Tenant's hiring contractors, in which event Landlord will have the right to approve Tenant's contractor and all subcontractors to be used by Tenant's contractor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord may require the employment of union contractors and subcontractors who shall not cause labor disharmony. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord or to Tenant's contractors, as the case may be, when due, the cost of all such work and of all decorating required by reason thereof. Tenant will also pay to Landlord an amount equal to three percent (3%) of all of the costs of such work to reimburse Landlord for its overhead and construction management services allocable to such work; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence will not apply to the Tenant Work performed pursuant to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D . Upon completion, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to contractors, evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials. Tenant shall defend and hold Landlord and the holder of any legal or beneficial interest in the land or Building harmless from all costs, damages, liens, and expenses related to such work. All work done by Tenant or its contractors pursuant to Sections 6 or 8 hereof shall be done in a professional and workmanlike manner using only good grades of materials and shall comply with all insurance requirements and all applicable laws and ordinances and rules and regulations of governmental departments or agencies and the rules and regulations adopted by the Landlord for the Building. Within thirty (30) days after substantial completion of any such work by Tenant or its contractors and upon written request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord "as built" drawings of such work. Tenant shall not paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering, or advertising media of any type visible from the exterior of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any alterations, additions or improvements (or the plans therefor) shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord, nor Landlord’s acceptance, that the same comply with sound architectural and/or engineering practices or with all applicable laws, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring all such compliance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section 6, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent, to make any alteration to the interior of the Premises (but not outside of the Premises) and which either:

(1) is comprised solely of painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic decorations or alterations, or

(2) is cosmetic in nature and costs $100,000 or less in the cumulative aggregate in any calendar year,

and meets all of the following criteria: (a) the alterations does not fall within any of the foregoing factors (i) through (v); (b)  the alteration does not require a building permit; (c) Tenant provides Landlord with three (3) days' advance written notice of the commencement of such alteration; and (d) such alterations are not visible from outside of the Premises (each, a " Cosmetic Alteration "). For avoidance of doubt, a “Cosmetic Alteration” will not include any alterations or improvement to any common corridor, the ground floor lobby, ground floor elevator lobby, exterior signage, restrooms on the ground floor or lower level, elevator cabs, or any alterations or improvements to the exterior of the Building or outside of the Building. At the time Tenant notifies Landlord of any Cosmetic Alteration, Tenant shall give Landlord a copy of Tenant's plans for the work. If the Cosmetic Alteration is of such a nature that formal plans will not be prepared for the work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably specific description of the work.

Upon Tenant’s acceptance of possession of the Premises pursuant to the Zebra Sublease, Tenant may make alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease so long as Tenant complies with the terms and provisions of this Lease and the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D , and complies with the terms and provisions of the Zebra Sublease.

7.      Services.
(a)      The Landlord shall furnish:
(i)      Except as otherwise set forth in this Section, air-conditioning, ventilation, and heat (“ HVAC ”) in accordance with the following specifications daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Saturdays 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), Sundays and holidays (as hereinafter defined) excepted (“ HVAC Hours ”):
The air cooling system will be capable of maintaining, during the cooling season, inside space conditions of 74 degrees F. (±2 degrees) dry bulb and 50% (±10%, i.e., between 40% and 60%) relative humidity when outside conditions are 95 degrees F. dry bulb and 74 degrees F. (mean coincident wet bulb), and during the heating season, the heating system will be capable of maintaining not less than 70 degrees F. (±2 degrees) with outdoor temperatures ranging down to -10 degrees F. with a wind velocity up to 15 m.p.h. The foregoing is based upon an occupancy density of not more than one person per 286 square feet of floor area and a maximum electrical load not exceeding Building standard.
However, at such time as, and so long as, Tenant leases 100% of the rentable space in the Building, Tenant may, by giving 30 days prior written notice to Landlord, elect to cause Landlord to expand the HVAC Hours on Monday through Friday to 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing HVAC specifications are for typical office space only. Such HVAC specifications will not apply, for example, to the Cafeteria, Lab Space, or computer/data/server rooms. The term "holidays" as used herein shall mean New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Landlord's agreements hereunder are subject to presidential and governmental restrictions on energy use.
(ii)      Water will be distributed to the Premises either by the Village of Lincolnshire or, at Landlord's option, by Landlord; and Landlord will permit Landlord's water pipes and mains, to the extent available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for such distribution. If and so long as Landlord is distributing water to the Premises, Tenant will pay for such usage (including related sewer charges and all fees, taxes, surcharges and other amounts in connection therewith) based on readings of the water submeter installed by Tenant pursuant to the Work Letter. If such water service is to be supplied to the Premises directly by the Village of Lincolnshire, then Tenant shall make all necessary arrangements with the Village of Lincolnshire for metering (including installation of such meter pursuant to the Work Letter) and paying for water furnished by it to Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all charges for water and sewer service to the Premises during the Term. The water used during the performance of janitor service shall be paid for by Tenant.
(iii)      Nightly janitorial service, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays in accordance with the janitorial specifications set forth in Exhibit E , which specifications will be subject to reasonable modification by Landlord from time to time so long as the level of janitorial service is not materially reduced; provided, however, if Tenant's floor covering or other improvements require special treatment, Tenant will pay the additional cleaning cost attributable thereto as additional rent upon presentation of a statement therefor by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord will have no obligation to provide any janitorial service to the Cafeteria; Tenant will be solely responsible for providing its own janitorial service to the Cafeteria, at Tenant’s sole cost. In addition, If the nature or configuration of the Lab Space imposes impediments on providing janitorial service thereto (as compared with typical office space) or is such that providing janitorial service thereto is impractical or relatively more expensive, then Landlord may elect to limit or eliminate the janitorial service to the Lab Space, in which event Tenant would provide such janitorial service to the Lab Space at Tenant’ sole cost. For such purpose, Tenant will engage a janitorial contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, using janitorial specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Tenant shall not provide any janitor services or cleaning to portions of the Premises other than Cafeteria portions, without the Landlord's written consent, and then only subject to supervision of Landlord and at Tenant's sole responsibility and cost (and without compensation to Tenant or reduction in Rent) and by a janitor or cleaning contractor or employees at all times satisfactory to Landlord. When engaging a janitorial contractor for the Building, Landlord will determine, in its reasonable judgment, the most suitable janitorial contractor for the Building, after reasonably considering Tenant’s input or recommendations (if any are given) for such janitorial contractor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a)(iii), so long as Tenant is the only tenant occupying space in the Building, Tenant may, by written request delivered to Landlord on or after the Commencement Date, notify Landlord of the name and contact information for a janitorial provider preferred by Tenant and requesting that Landlord engage such janitorial provider. In such event, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to engage such janitorial service provider on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord on the condition that such provider is reputable and reliable in Landlord’s reasonable judgment; in such event Tenant will pay 100% of the costs and charges of such janitorial service provider (at Landlord’s option, either as a direct charge to Tenant payable by Tenant within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time, or as an inclusion in Expenses (subject to the gross-up for vacancy set forth in Section 2(a)(iii)). Nevertheless, Landlord reserves the right to terminate such janitorial contractor if Landlord reasonably determines that such service contractor is not in the best interest of Landlord or the Building, in which event Tenant will have the right to resubmit its request for Landlord to engage (a different) janitorial service provider. The term of such service contractor requested by Tenant would commence upon the expiration of the then-existing janitorial service contract for the Building. Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this grammatical paragraph will terminate automatically at such time as Tenant is no longer the sole tenant in the Building.
(iv)      Passenger elevator service in common with Landlord and other tenants, daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Sundays and holidays excepted, and freight elevator service in common with Landlord and other tenants, daily from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excepted. Such normal elevator service, passenger or freight, if furnished at other times shall be optional with Landlord and shall never be deemed a continuing obligation. The Landlord, however, shall provide limited passenger elevator service daily at all times such normal passenger service is not furnished, subject to emergencies. Tenant shall also have the use of the freight elevator to complete any and all alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises permitted pursuant to this Lease, subject to prior scheduling with Landlord, and subject to scheduling conflicts. Tenant will have the use of the freight elevator servicing the Cafeteria from the lower level to the first floor, and Landlord will not authorize any other tenant to use such freight elevator.
(v)      Electricity shall not be furnished by Landlord, but shall be furnished by an approved electric utility company serving the Building. Landlord shall permit the Tenant to receive such service direct from such utility company at Tenant's cost, and shall permit Landlord's wire and conduits, to the extent available, suitable, and safely capable, to be used for such purposes. Tenant shall make all necessary arrangements with the utility company for metering and paying for electric current furnished by it to Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all charges for electric current consumed on the Premises during Tenant's occupancy thereof. The electricity used during the performance of janitor service, the making of alterations or repairs in the Premises, or the operation of any special air conditioning systems which may be required for data processing equipment or for other special equipment or machinery installed by Tenant, shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment or appliances installed by Tenant without the prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant also agrees to purchase from the Landlord or its agent at competitive prices all lamps, bulbs, ballasts, and starters used in the Premises during the Term hereof. The electrical feeder or riser capacity serving the Premises on the Commencement Date shall be adequate to provide Building Standard electrical loads. Any additional feeders or risers to supply Tenant's additional electrical requirements, and all other equipment proper and necessary in connection with such feeders or risers, shall be installed by Landlord upon Tenant's request, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, provided that, in Landlord's judgment, such additional feeders or risers are necessary and are permissible under applicable laws and insurance regulations and the installation of such feeders or risers will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or the Premises or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants or the Building and Tenant deposits with Landlord funds or other security acceptable to Landlord in the estimated amount of the cost of such installation, as determined by Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installed thereon.
(vi)      Natural gas shall not be furnished by Landlord, but shall be furnished by the gas utility company serving the Building. Landlord shall permit the Tenant to receive such service directly from such utility company at Tenant's cost, and shall permit Landlord's gas pipes, to the extent available, suitable, and safely capable, to be used for such purposes. Tenant shall make all necessary arrangements with the utility company for metering and paying for natural gas furnished by it to Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all charges for natural gas consumed on the Premises. Tenant will cause the natural gas serving the Premises to be separately metered pursuant to the Work Letter. In the alternative, if Tenant does not cause the natural gas serving the Premises to be separately metered, then Tenant will pay to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time 100% of the costs and other charges by the gas utility company (without markup by Landlord) and all taxes thereon and other third-party charges in connection therewith for all natural gas service to the Building.
(vii)      Landlord shall cause the Building and adjacent walkways and parking areas to be maintained in operating condition and reasonably free from debris, snow, and ice consistent with the operation of a first-class office building in the North Suburban Chicago area.
(viii)      If Tenant desires HVAC service at any time other than HVAC Hours, then such services shall be supplied to Tenant upon the written or emailed request by Tenant delivered to Landlord’s designated property manager (a) in the case of HVAC Service requested on for a (non-holiday) business day, for a time which is after HVAC Hours for such day: before noon on such business day; or (b) in the case of HVAC Service requested for a non-business day (including holidays): by noon of the business day preceding such extra usage, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable standard charges by Landlord for such services within 30 days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.
(b)      During the existence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any additional services (i.e., excluding those services which Landlord is required to provide without additional charge pursuant to this Lease), and no such suspension or discontinuance shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises or render Landlord liable for damages or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(c)      Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore any service required of it under Section 7(a) that becomes unavailable; however, such unavailability shall not render Landlord liable for any damages caused thereby, be a constructive eviction of Tenant, constitute a breach of any implied warranty, or, except as provided in the next sentence, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If, however, Tenant is prevented from using the Premises because of the unavailability of any such service for a period of 5 consecutive business days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written notice regarding such unavailability, the restoration of which is within Landlord’s reasonable control, and such unavailability was not caused by a Tenant Party or a governmental directive, then Tenant shall, as its exclusive remedy be entitled to a reasonable abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent for each consecutive day (after such 5 business day period) that Tenant is so prevented from using the Premises. Alternatively, if Tenant is prevented from using the Premises because of the unavailability of any such service for a period of 5 consecutive business days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written notice regarding such unavailability, the restoration of which is not within Landlord’s reasonable control, and such unavailability was not caused by a Tenant Party, then Tenant shall, as its exclusive remedy be entitled to a reasonable abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent for each consecutive day (after such 5 business day period) that Tenant is so prevented from using the Premises, if and to the extent that rent loss insurance then maintained by Landlord will cover such nonpayment of rent during such abatement period. For purposes hereof, “Tenant” means Tenant; any assignees claiming by, through, or under Tenant; any subtenants claiming by, through, or under Tenant; and any of their respective agents, officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, contractors, employees, licensees, guests and invitees (individually, a “ Tenant Party ,” and collectively, “ Tenant Parties ”). Tenant shall notify Landlord if any service shall be stopped, whereupon Landlord will proceed diligently to restore such service as soon as reasonably possible.
(d)      Tenant agrees to cooperate fully, at all times, with Landlord in abiding by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of all utilities and services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Premises and the Building.
(e)      Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord efforts to obtain LEED, Energy Star or other sustainability program certification or qualification.
(f)      Landlord, throughout the Term of this Lease, shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations, and Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which might interfere with the moving of the servicing equipment of Landlord to or from the enclosures containing said installations. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant, nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees, or contractors shall at any time tamper with, adjust, or otherwise in any manner affect Landlord's mechanical installations.
(g)      Tenant shall make arrangements directly with the telephone company servicing the Building for such telephone service in the Premises as may be desired by Tenant. If Tenant desires telephonic, burglar alarm, or computer installations (which services shall be installed and maintained at Tenant's sole expense), Landlord shall, upon request, direct where and how all connections and wiring for such service shall be introduced and run. Landlord additionally shall have the right to approve or disapprove all plans and specifications for such service prior to any installation and to refuse permission for such installation if Landlord determines same could adversely affect an existing system. In the absence of such directions, Tenant shall make no borings or cutting or install any wires or cables in or about the Premises and/or the Building.
8.      Condition and Care of Premises; Compliance with Laws; Hazardous Materials.
(a)      Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant, and upon said taking of possession Tenant shall execute an agreement with Landlord stating that the Premises were then in good order and satisfactory condition, excluding latent defects (other than latent (or other) defects in the Tenant Work); the parties acknowledge that such taking of possession will occur before the Commencement Date of the Term of this Lease. No promises of the Landlord to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or clean the Premises or any part thereof have been made, and no representation respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building, or the Land, has been made to Tenant by or on behalf of Landlord except to the extent expressly set forth herein, or in the Work Letter. Except as expressly set forth in the Work Letter (if any), Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant "as is," without any representations or warranties of any kind (including, without limitation, any express or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness or habitability). This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the property of Landlord.
(b)      Except for any damage resulting from casualty or from any wanton or negligent act of Landlord or its employees and agents, and subject to the provisions of Section 15 hereof, Tenant shall, at its own expense, keep the Premises in good repair and condition and shall promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises caused by Tenant or any of its employees, agents, or invitees, including replacing or repairing all damaged or broken glass, fixtures, and appurtenances resulting from any such damage, under the supervision and with the approval of Landlord and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord. Tenant's obligation to maintain and repair the Premises, shall include but is not limited to, all electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems serving the Premises from the point said systems connect to the base building systems on each floor. In the event of any damage to the Premises which Landlord believes is not being remedied promptly by Tenant, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant notifying Tenant of the damage, and Tenant shall have five (5) business days from the date of receipt of such notice to make or commence making such repairs. If Tenant does not make such repairs within such five (5) day period, or (if the repairs cannot reasonably be completed in such period) if Tenant does not commence such repairs within such five (5) business day period and thereafter diligently continue to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof on demand; provided that nothing set forth to the contrary in this Lease shall prevent Tenant from disputing its responsibility to make or liability to pay for such repairs. Tenant shall take special care to keep all areas of the Premises which are visible by or accessible to the public, such as elevator lobbies and corridors, in good order and appearance consistent with the high standards and quality of a first‑class office building.
(c)      Whenever, in Landlord's commercially reasonable opinion, Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, including lighting, personnel, heat generating machines, or equipment, individually or cumulatively, causes the design loads for the system providing heat and air‑cooling to be exceeded, to affect the temperature or humidity otherwise maintained by the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system in the Premises or Building, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, temper such excess loads by installing supplementary heating or air‑conditioning units in the Premises or elsewhere where necessary. In such event, Landlord shall provide written notice of its decision to Tenant to install such supplementary heating or air-conditioning, and Tenant may elect to undertake to install such supplementary heating or air-conditioning at its expense. In the event that Tenant does not elect to undertake the installation of the supplementary heating or air-conditioning, the cost of such units and the expense of installation, including the reasonable cost of preparing working drawings and specifications, shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent within ten (10) days after Landlord's demand therefor. Alternatively, Landlord may require Tenant to install such supplementary heating or air‑conditioning unit at Tenant's sole expense. Landlord may operate and maintain any such supplementary units, but shall have no continuing obligation to do so or liability in connection therewith. The expense resulting from the operation and maintenance of any such supplementary heating or air conditioning units, including rent for space occupied by any supplementary heating or air conditioning units installed outside the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent at rates fixed by Landlord. Alternatively, Landlord may require Tenant to operate and maintain any such supplementary units, under a maintenance contract (reasonably approved by Landlord), also at Tenant's sole expense.
(d)      Subject to the provisions of Section 8(e), Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all existing or future applicable municipal, state and federal and other governmental statutes, rules, requirements, regulations, laws and ordinances, including zoning ordinances and regulations, and covenants, easements and restrictions of record (collectively, " Laws "); which relate to (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) Tenant alterations, improvements, and additions constructed or installed by, or at the direction of, Tenant, or (iii) the Building structure, the Building systems, and the common areas of the Real Property (but, as to such Building structure, Building Systems, and common areas, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by (a) Tenant alterations, additions, or improvements made by Tenant in or to the Premises which would not constitute normal, typical and customary business office improvements, or (b) Tenant’s use of the Premises for non-general office use or (c) Tenant’s (or any Tenant Party's) acts in the common areas) or (iv) the Handling of any Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain any and all licenses or permits necessary for Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant will indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage, attorneys' fees or liability arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply with any Laws. Tenant's obligation pursuant to such indemnity will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(e)      Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C §12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the " ADA "), and those provisions of Illinois law and Lincolnshire laws and ordinances, and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “ Regional Accessibility Laws ”), establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that certain requirements under ADA Title III and Regional Accessibility Laws may or may not apply to the Premises and the Building depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant's business is deemed a "public accommodation" or "commercial facility", (2) whether such requirements are "readily achievable", and (3) whether a given alteration affects a primary function area or triggers "path of travel" requirements. The parties hereby agree that: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III and Regional Accessibility Laws compliance in the common areas of the Building, except as provided below, (b) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III and Regional Accessibility Laws compliance in the Premises, including any leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease, it being understood that a ny pre-existing leasehold improvements in the Premises are delivered as-is, and the responsibility for their compliance with ADA, Regional Accessibility Laws , and other Laws will be borne by Tenant; (c) notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant will be responsible, at its cost, for compliance with t he ADA and Regional Accessibility Laws requirements if and to the extent that such ADA or Regional Accessibility Laws requirements would otherwise make Tenant rather than Landlord primarily responsible for making such alteration or addition; (d) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III and Regional Accessibility Laws "path of travel" requirements triggered by alterations in the Premises, (e) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III and Regional Accessibility Laws compliance in the common areas of the Building necessitated by the Building or Premises being deemed to be a "public accommodation" instead of a "commercial facility" as a result of Tenant's (or its subtenant’s or assignee’s) use of the Premises, or necessitated to accommodate the special needs of the employee(s) of Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant; and (f) Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant's employees. In the event of a conflict between this Section 8(e) and any other provision of this Lease, the provisions of this Section 8(e) will control.
9.      Return of Premises.
(a)      At the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon termination of Tenant's right of possession without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and deliver all keys and access cards to the Building, the premises and the Building garage (if any) to Landlord and make known to the Landlord the combination of all locks of vaults then remaining in the Premises, and shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 9(b) and 9(c) below) return the Premises and all equipment and fixtures of the Landlord therein to Landlord in as good condition as when Tenant completed the Tenant Work, whether performed during the term of the Zebra Sublease or during the term of this Lease (or other initial improvements, as to expansion space), ordinary wear, loss or damage by fire or other insured casualty, and damage resulting from the wanton or negligent act of Landlord or its employees and agents excepted, failing which Landlord may restore the Premises and such equipment and fixtures to such condition and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to Landlord on demand along with a three percent (3%) administrative fee.
(b)      All installations, additions, partitions, hardware, wiring, light fixtures, supplementary heat or air‑conditioning units, non‑trade fixtures and improvements, temporary or permanent, except movable furniture, movable partitions and equipment belonging to Tenant, in or upon the Premises, whether placed there by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord directs that Tenant remove any of said items at the end of the Term, then Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall promptly remove such of the installations, additions, partitions, hardware, wiring, light fixtures, non‑trade fixtures, and improvements placed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant as are so designated by Landlord and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal, failing which Landlord may remove the same and repair the Premises and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to Landlord on demand. However, Landlord will not require Tenant to remove standard and customary office improvements that might reasonably be used by a subsequent tenant, but in any event, (i) each of the following, installed by or at the direction of Tenant or any Tenant Party, must be removed by Tenant at Tenant’s cost: safes, vaults, showers and washrooms (excluding washrooms in the core of the Building), internal stairways, high density shelving, raised computer floors and fire suppression systems; and (ii) Landlord may require removal of any other leasehold improvements that are unusual, extraordinary or relatively expensive to remove, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. However, so that Tenant may learn in advance whether Landlord construes any specific alterations or improvements as falling within clause (ii) above, at the time that Tenant requests Landlord's consent to specific alterations, Tenant may also request that Landlord notify Tenant whether Landlord will, upon expiration or termination of the Lease Term, require Tenant to remove any of the subject improvements. If Tenant so requests and if Landlord consents to the alterations, then Landlord will also notify Tenant (contemporaneously with Landlord’s notice of consent) whether Landlord will require removal of any such alterations or improvements at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. At the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Tenant will not be required to remove any such alterations or improvements if and to the extent that Landlord previously notified Tenant that removal of such alterations or improvements would not be required. For purposes of this subsection, if Tenant is required to remove any improvements or alterations, Tenant is also required to restore the affected areas to an architectural, structural, and aesthetic whole.
(c)      Tenant shall remove Tenant's furniture, machinery, safes, trade fixtures, and other items of movable personal property of every kind and description from the Premises prior to the expiration of the Term or ten (10) days following earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, whichever might be earlier, failing which Landlord may do so and thereupon the provisions of Section 17(f) shall apply.
(d)      All obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
10.      Holding Over.
The Tenant shall pay Landlord for each month (or fraction thereof) Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession hereunder, by lapse of time or otherwise, then Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, (a) Tenant shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, Base Rent equal to the greater of (1) 200% of the Rent payable during the last month of the Term, or (2) 125% of the prevailing rental rate in the Building for similar space, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and (b) Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits or other consequential damages to Landlord resulting therefrom .
Nothing in this Section contained, however, shall be construed or operate as a waiver of Landlord's right of re‑entry or any other right of Landlord.
11.      Rules and Regulations.
Tenant agrees to observe the rights reserved to Landlord contained in Section 12 hereof and agrees, for itself, its employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests, to comply with the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit B attached to this Lease and made a part hereof and such other reasonable rules and regulations as shall be adopted and uniformly enforced by Landlord pursuant to Section 12(k) of this Lease; provided, however, that of those rules and regulations listed on Exhibit B, only the following will apply to Tenant until the earlier of substantial completion of the Tenant Work and the date Tenant begins occupying the Premises or any material portion thereof (pursuant to the Zebra Sublease or otherwise) for the conduct of Tenant’s business: #1, 2 (last sentence), 3 (last sentence), 4-7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, and 21. Any violation by Tenant of any of the rules and regulations contained in Exhibit B attached to this Lease or other Section of this Lease, or as may hereafter be adopted by Landlord pursuant to Section 12(k) of this Lease, may be restrained; but whether or not so restrained, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be and remain liable for all damages, loss, costs and expense resulting from any violation by the Tenant of any of said rules and regulations. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which need not include eviction or commencement of legal proceedings) to uniformly apply said rules and regulations, or the terms, covenants and conditions of any other lease against all tenants of the Building, including Tenant, or any other occupants of the Building, provided, however, Landlord and its beneficiary shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, or by any other person.
12.      Rights Reserved to Landlord.
Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without notice and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business and without effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent or affecting any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease:
(a)      To change the name or street address of the Building.
(b)      To install and maintain signs on the exterior and interior of the Building.
(c)      To prescribe the location and style of the suite number and identification sign or lettering for the Premises occupied by the Tenant.
(d)      To retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, pass keys to the Premises.
(e)      To grant to anyone the right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building, whether or not it is the same as or similar to the use expressly permitted to Tenant by Section 3.
(f)      To exhibit the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the Term at reasonable hours, and to decorate, remodel, repair, alter, or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy at any time after Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises.
(g)      To enter the Premises at reasonable hours for reasonable purposes, including inspection and supplying janitor service or other service to be provided to Tenant hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon reasonable prior notice (which notice may be oral) to Tenant, Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable hours to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders, and, at any time during the last 12 months of the Term (or earlier if Tenant has notified Landlord in writing that it does not desire to renew the Term), upon reasonable prior notice (which notice may be oral) to Tenant, or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours to show the Premises to prospective tenants.
(h)      To require all persons entering or leaving the Building during such hours as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine to identify themselves to watchmen by registration or otherwise, and to establish their right to enter or leave in accordance with the provisions of applicable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable in damages for any error with respect to admission to or eviction or exclusion from the Building of any person. In case of fire, invasion, insurrection, mob, riot, civil disorder, public excitement or other commotion, or threat thereof, Landlord reserves the right to limit or prevent access to the Building during the continuance of the same, shut down elevator service, activate elevator emergency controls, or otherwise take such action or preventive measures deemed necessary by Landlord for the safety of the tenants or other occupants of the Building or the protection of the Building and the property in the Building. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety program developed by Landlord.
(i)      To control and prevent access to common areas and other non-general public areas pursuant to the provisions of applicable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord.
(j)      Provided that reasonable access to the Premises shall be maintained and the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with or disrupted unreasonably, Landlord reserves the right to relocate, enlarge, reduce or change exits or entrances (other than relocating the main entrance) in or to the Building and to decorate and to make, at its own expense, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Building or any part thereof, and any adjacent building, land, street or alley, including for the purpose of connection with or entrance into or use of the Building in conjunction with any adjoining or adjacent building or buildings, now existing or hereafter constructed, and may for such purposes erect scaffolding and other structures reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, and during such operations may enter upon the Premises and take into and upon or through any part of the Building, including the Premises, all materials that may be required to make such repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions, and in that connection Landlord may temporarily close public entry ways, other public spaces, stairways or corridors and interrupt or temporarily suspend any services or facilities agreed to be furnished by Landlord, all without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and without abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Tenant or otherwise and without in any manner rendering Landlord liable for damages or relieving Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord may at its option make any repairs, alterations, improvements and additions in and about the Building and the Premises during ordinary business hours and, if Tenant desires to have such work done during other than business hours, Tenant shall pay all overtime and additional expenses resulting therefrom. Any Landlord activities undertaken in accordance with this section shall be consistent with other Class A office buildings generally and with the existing character of the Premises specifically.
(k)      From time to time to make and adopt such reasonable rules and regulations, in addition to or other than or by way of amendment or modification of the rules and regulations contained in Exhibit B attached to this Lease or other Sections of this Lease, for the protection and welfare of the Building and its tenants and occupants, as the Landlord may determine.
13.      Assignment and Subletting.
(a)      Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, (i) convey, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or encumber, or subject to or permit to exist upon or be subjected to any lien or charge, this Lease or any interest under it, (ii) allow to exist or occur any transfer of or lien upon this Lease or the Tenant's interest herein by operation of law, (iii) assign this Lease or any of Tenant's rights hereunder, (iv) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, (v) permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof for any purpose not provided for under Section 3 of this Lease or by anyone other than the Tenant and Tenant's employees, or (vi) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a change in the current direct or indirect control of Tenant. Landlord has the absolute right to withhold its consent, without giving any reason whatsoever, except as herein expressly provided to the contrary. The foregoing prohibitions shall also apply to any assignee or subtenant of Tenant.
(b)      If, after the Commencement Date, Tenant has procured an assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall, by written notice to Landlord, advise Landlord of its intention from, on and after a stated date (which shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant's notice) to assign this Lease to such proposed assignee or sublet any part or all of the Premises to such proposed subtenant for the balance or any part of the Term. Upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice, to cancel the lease in the case of a proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed subleasing of all the Premises, or to cancel the lease with respect to the portion to be so subleased by notice to Tenant in which latter event the Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share as defined herein shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. If Landlord exercises such option to cancel, then Landlord’s notice exercising such right shall specify the date as of which such cancellation is effective, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days after the date on which Landlord sends such notice, unless such space requires demising, in which case such cancellation will become effective when such space is separately demised. Tenant's notice given pursuant to this Section 13(b) shall state the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, and a true and complete copy of the proposed sublease or assignment and sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed subtenant or assignee shall be delivered to Landlord with said notice. If Landlord exercises its recapture right as set forth above and if the subject space requires demising, Landlord will perform the same at Landlord’s cost, and in such event Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any inconvenience to Tenant relative to the remaining Premises arising from such demising work, but Landlord will use reasonable efforts to minimize such inconvenience. Landlord’s cancellation option pursuant to this Section 13(b) will not apply to Permitted Transfers (defined below).
(c)      If Landlord, upon receiving Tenant's notice given pursuant to Section 13(b), shall not exercise its right to cancel, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant's assignment of this Lease or subletting the space covered by its notice, provided, however, in each case, such subletting or assignment also satisfies the following conditions:
(i)      No Event of Default then exists;
(ii)      Tenant has fully complied with the provisions of this Section 13;
(iii)      The assignee or subtenant is not a tenant of the Building or of the buildings commonly known as One Overlook Point or Two Overlook Point, and is not a governmental entity (or subdivision or agency thereof), or the then or prospective holder of a political office;
(iv)      Tenant has furnished Landlord with copies of all documents relating to the sublease or assignment arrangement between Tenant and the proposed subtenant or assignee, including financial statements, if requested by Landlord;
(v)      The proposed sublease or proposed assignment does not extend for a term beyond the initial Term of this Lease, nor does the sublease or assignment contain any options to extend or renew the term thereof beyond the initial Term of this Lease;
(vi)      The subtenant or assignee is of a character or engaged in a business which is, and the subtenant's or assignee's proposed use of the Premises, or portions thereof, is consistent with the standards of Landlord for the Building and the use permitted hereunder;
(vii)      A subletting will not result in more than four (4) occupants of the Premises, including Tenant and all subtenants;
(viii)      The space to be subleased and the remaining portion of the Premises are both legally leasable units and suitable for normal renting;
(ix)      The assignee or subtenant is sufficiently financially responsible to perform its obligations under the sublease or assignment, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable background information, including, without limitation, financial statements, on the prospective assignee or sublessee, all as Landlord may reasonably require; and
(x)      The intended use by or business of the proposed assignee or sublessee will not conflict with any commitment by Landlord to any other tenant in the Lincolnshire Corporate Center.
Landlord agrees to respond to Tenant's request for approval within thirty (30) days after submission of all documents.
(d)      Consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, use, or occupancy or transfer shall not operate to relieve the Tenant from any covenant or obligation hereunder, and shall not be deemed to be a consent to or relieve Tenant, or any subtenant or assignee, from obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, lien, charge, subletting, use, or occupancy.
(e)      In connection with each request by Tenant for Landlord's consent to a sublease or assignment, Tenant will pay to Landlord an amount equal to the sum of the following, regardless of whether such consent is granted or denied: (a) Landlord’s processing fee of $1,500 and (b) an amount equal to Landlord's out-of-pocket administrative, legal and other costs and expenses incurred in processing such request or otherwise incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment.
(f)      If all or any part of the Premises are then subleased, any termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession in connection with an Event of Default will, at Landlord's option, either, (a) terminate the sublease or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of the sublease. Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents nor any security deposits paid by the subtenant. Landlord will not be liable for any other defaults of the Tenant under the sublease agreement.
(g)      If Tenant, having first obtained Landlord's consent to any sublease or assignment, or if Tenant or a trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, then in addition to the Rent then payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as further additional rent on the first day of each month during the term of any such assignment or sublease, fifty percent (50%) of the amount, if any, by which (x) the Assigned Area Rent, less the actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Tenant with unaffiliated third parties (including, without limitation, marketing costs, brokerage commissions, tenant finish work, and attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such transaction, exceeds (y) the product of the Current Monthly Rent multiplied by the Assigned Area. As used herein:
(i)      "Assigned Area" shall mean the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises (in the case of an assignment or sublet of the entire Premises) or of the Rentable Area of any space sublet by Tenant (in the case of a sublet of less than the entire Premises).
(ii)      "Current Monthly Rent" shall mean the aggregate of all Monthly Base Rent and monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Estimated Taxes and of Estimated Expenses being paid by Tenant as of the effective date of an assignment or sublet, divided by the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises.
(iii)      "Assigned Area Rent" shall mean the current monthly base rent and other amounts payable by the subtenant or assignee for the Assigned Area.
(h)      Notwithstanding Section 13(a), Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a “ Permitted Transfer ”) to the following types of entities (a “ Permitted Transferee ”) without the written consent of Landlord:
(i)    an Affiliate of Tenant;
(ii)    any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as:
(1) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed, by operation of law (reasonably documented by Tenant to Landlord) or by written assumption, by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and
(2) either:
(i) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant immediately preceding such transaction; or

(iii)    any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant’s equity or assets, so long as:
(1) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed (which assumption shall be reasonably documented by Tenant to Landlord) by the entity acquiring such equity or assets; and

The waiver in this grammatical paragraph will also apply as to the amount of any deductible, self-insured retention or self-insurance under Tenant's insurance. Particularly, but not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, all property belonging to Tenant or any occupant of the Premises that is in the Real Property or the Premises will be there at the risk of Tenant or other person only, and Landlord or its agents or employees will not be liable for loss or damage to or theft of or misappropriation of such property, nor for any loss or damage to property or business resulting from fire, explosion, flooding of basements or other subsurface areas, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, snow, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Real Property or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, nor for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Real Property, except that in respect of property loss or damage such waiver will be limited to the extent that such claim is or would be covered by any insurance that Tenant is required under Section 21(b)(i) to carry.

To the extent permitted by law, Landlord waives all claims it may have against Tenant, its agents or employees for damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission of Tenant, to the extent that such claim is covered by any property insurance which Landlord is required under Section 21(e) to carry on the Building. Landlord will include in any property insurance policy which Landlord may carry on the Building, to the extent permitted by law, a waiver of subrogation against Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for damage to, or loss or theft of, any property of any Tenant Party located in or about the Real Property.
(b)      Subject to the waivers set forth in this Section 14, and to the extent not expressly prohibited by law, Tenant agrees to hold the Landlord Parties harmless and to indemnify each of them against claims and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for injuries to all persons and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Premises arising from Tenant's negligence or wrongful acts or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease or due to any other act or omission of the Tenant, its agents, or employees.
(c)      Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall either party hereto be liable to the other under this Lease for lost profits, lost savings, punitive, exemplary or any other consequential, special or indirect damages; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver by either party of any right such party may have pursuant to the terms of this Lease to be indemnified or held harmless by the other party from and against any of the foregoing losses or damages to the extent that such losses or damages are part of a claim of a third party from or against which such party is so entitled hereunder to be indemnified or held harmless, and (ii) the foregoing will not limit the consequential damages recoverable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10 (Holding Over) or Section 17(e).

15.      Damage or Destruction by Casualty.
(a)      Repair Estimate . If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a “ Casualty ”), Landlord shall, within 90 days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the “ Damage Notice ”) of the time needed for Landlord to substantially complete its repairs of the damage caused by such Casualty.
(b)      Tenant’s Rights . If the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that Landlord’s repairs cannot be substantially completed within 365 days after the commencement of repairs (the “ Repair Period ”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within 30 days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
(c)      Landlord’s Rights . If a Casualty occurs and (1) Landlord estimates that Landlord’s repairs cannot be substantially completed within the Repair Period, (2) the damage exceeds 50% of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last two years of the Term, (3) regardless of the extent of damage, the repairs for which Landlord is responsible are not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies or Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring such damage would be uneconomical, or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within 30 days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
(d)      Repair Obligation . If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any improvements, alterations or betterments within the Premises (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Building, and Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore the Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this Section 15, Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the insurance policies providing coverage for all alterations, improvements and betterments in the Premises (and, if Tenant has failed to maintain insurance on such items as required by this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the proceeds Landlord would have received had Tenant maintained insurance on such items as required by this Lease).
(e)      Abatement of Rent . If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Base Rent and Additional Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord’s repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be). In the event of any such Casualty, and if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, Tenant shall repair and restore any portion of alterations, additions or improvements in the Premises, and in such event Base Rent and Additional Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be further abated until the earliest to occur of (i) the 10 th day after Tenant’s substantial completion of Tenant's repair and restoration following substantial completion of Landlord's repair and restoration work; (ii) the date on which Tenant begins occupying such portion of the Premises for the conduct of business; and (iii) the 220 th day after substantial completion of Landlord’s repairs.
16.      Eminent Domain.
If all or a substantial part of the Building, or any part thereof which includes all or a substantial part of the Premises, shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi‑public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease shall end upon and not before the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose, and without apportionment of the award to or for the benefit of Tenant. If any condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or damage any part of the Real Property, the taking of which would, in Landlord's opinion, prevent the economical operation of the Building, or if the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is changed by any competent authority, and such taking or damage or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to remodel the Building to conform to the taking or damage, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon not less than ninety (90) days' notice prior to the date of termination designated in the notice. In either of the events above referred to, Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the termination. No money or other consideration shall be payable by the Landlord to the Tenant for the right of termination, and the Tenant shall have no right to share in the condemnation award or in any judgment for damages caused by such taking or the change of grade; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to pursue separately against the condemning authority, so long as Landlord's award is not reduced thereby, any award available separately to Tenant for Tenant's moving and relocation expenses.

(b)      If an Event of Default occurs which has not been cured or remedied during the applicable grace period, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not operate to exclude or deprive Landlord of any other right or remedy allowed it by law:
(i)      Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant written notice of the Landlord's election to do so, in which event the Term of this Lease shall end, and all right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder shall expire, on the date stated in such notice;
(ii)      Landlord may terminate the right of the Tenant to possession of the Premises' without terminating this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant that Tenant's right of possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of the Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice; and
(iii)      Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of the Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from the Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.
Any notice required to be given by Landlord pursuant to this Section 17(b) may be given concurrently with a notice of default pursuant to Section 17(a).
(c)      If Landlord exercises either of the remedies provided for in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) of the foregoing Section 17(b), Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to the Landlord, and Landlord may then or at any time thereafter re‑enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises, with or without process of law, full and complete license to do so being hereby granted to the Landlord, and Landlord may remove all occupants and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without relinquishing Landlord's right to rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.

(d)      If Landlord, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17(b)(ii) hereof, terminates the right of the Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent hereunder for the full Term, and Landlord shall have the right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder. In addition, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from the Tenant, and the Tenant shall remain liable for, all Rent and any other sums thereafter accruing as they become due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term.

Landlord may collect the rents from any such reletting and apply the same first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair and alterations and the expenses of reletting and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by the Tenant, and any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, but the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Landlord, if any, shall not be deemed to give Tenant any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue and any such excess or residue shall belong to Landlord solely; provided that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit on its indebtedness to Landlord in excess of the aggregate sum (including Base Rent and Additional Rent) which would have been paid by Tenant for the period for which the credit to Tenant is being determined, had no Event of Default occurred. No such re‑entry or repossession, repairs, alterations and additions, or reletting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of the Tenant or as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or shall operate to release the Tenant in whole or in part from any of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, and the Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, sue and recover judgment for any deficiencies from time to time remaining after the application from time to time of the proceeds of any such reletting.
(e)      In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord as provided for by subparagraph (i) of Section 17(b), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all the fixed dollar amounts of Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by the Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease which may be then owing and unpaid, and all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and in addition Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty (x) the unamortized cost to the Landlord, computed and determined in accordance with GAAP, of the tenant improvements and alterations, if any, paid for and installed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or for which Landlord disbursed an allowance, and (y) the aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate rents at the same annual rate for the remainder of the Term as then in effect pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of this Lease, over the then present value of the then aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of a per annum discount at one‑half (1/2) of the corporate base rate of interest then in effect at the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., from the respective dates upon which such rentals would have been payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated, and (z) any damages in addition thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, which Landlord shall have sustained by reason of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of rent.
(f)      All property removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease or of law may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the cost and expense of the Tenant, and the Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in such removal and storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's control. All property not removed from the Premises or not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term (or termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises), however terminated, shall be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as by bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.
(g)      If any action for breach of or to enforce any provision of this Lease is commenced, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor judgment is entered, a reasonable sum as attorneys' fees, which attorneys' fees shall be paid by the losing party in such action. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's costs, charges, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in any litigation in which Tenant causes the Landlord, without Landlord's fault, to become involved or concerned.

Landlord hereby represents that Landlord’s interest in the Real Property is not encumbered by a Mortgage or Primary Lease (other than the Hewitt Lease) as of the date of this Lease. Any Landlord’s Mortgagee may elect, at any time, unilaterally, to make this Lease superior to its Mortgage, Primary Lease, or other interest in the Premises by so notifying Tenant in writing. The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord (or such other party designated by Landlord) within ten days after written request therefor such documentation, in recordable form if required, as a Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence the subordination of this Lease to such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage or Primary Lease (provided that in the case of a Mortgage first placed upon or recorded against the Premises or the Building after the date of this Lease, such confirmation will be substantially in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit G , with such modifications thereto as approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed)) or, if the Landlord’s Mortgagee so elects, the subordination of such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage or Primary Lease to this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver such documentation to Landlord within such time, then Landlord may elect to send a second notice, advising Tenant that Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such documentation within 5 business days after delivery of such second notice will constitute an Event of Default, and if Landlord sends such second notice and if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such documentation within such 5 business days, such failure will constitute an Event of Default.
(b)      Attornment . Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such party’s request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request.

Landlord’s Mortgagee shall have no liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own fee simple title to the Real Property. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Landlord’s Mortgagee to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant’s agreements set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modification of the documents evidencing and securing any loan. It is further agreed that (x) if any Mortgage shall be foreclosed, or if Primary Lease be terminated, (i) the liability of the mortgagee or trustee hereunder or purchaser at such foreclosure sale or the liability of a subsequent owner designated as Landlord under this Lease shall exist only so long as such trustee, mortgagee, purchaser, or owner is the owner of an interest in the Building or Land and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
20.      Default Under Other Leases.

Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery contained in any other section of this Lease but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, each of the parties hereto waives all claims and rights of subrogation by their respective insurers for recovery from the other party for any loss or damage to any of its property or damages as a result of business interruption.

Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (including Owner's and Contractors' Protective Liability) in an amount not less than $2 million per occurrence, whether involving bodily injury liability (or death resulting therefrom) or property damage liability or a combination thereof with a minimum aggregate limit of $2 million, and with umbrella coverage with limits not less than $10,000,000.00; provided, however, that if the cost of the work will not exceed $500,000, then such umbrella coverage may be omitted. Such insurance shall provide for explosion and collapse, completed operations coverage with a two-year extension after completion of the work, and broad form blanket contractual liability coverage and shall insure Tenant's Contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death resulting therefrom and damage to the property of others and arising from its operations under the contracts whether such operations are performed by Tenant's contractors, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them.
iii. Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance, including the ownership, maintenance, and operation of any automotive equipment, owned, hired, or non-owned in an amount not less than $1 million for each person in one accident, and $1 million for injuries sustained by two or more persons in any one accident and property damage liability in an amount not less than $1 million for each accident. Such insurance shall insure Tenant's Contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to the property of others arising from its operations under the contracts, whether such operations are performed by Tenant's Contractors, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them.
iv. "All-risk" builder's risk insurance upon the entire alterations, improvements and additions to the full insurable value thereof. This insurance shall include the interest of Landlord, Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors of any tier to the extent of any insurable interest therein) in the alterations, improvements, and additions and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended coverage and shall include "all-risk" builder's risk insurance for physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, and malicious mischief. If portions of the alterations, improvements and additions are stored off the site of the Real Property or in transit to said site are not covered under said "all-risk" builder's risk insurance, then Tenant shall effect and maintain similar property insurance on such portions of the alterations, improvements, and additions. Any loss insured under said "all-risk" builder's risk insurance is to be adjusted with Landlord and Tenant and made payable to Landlord as trustee for the insureds, as their interest may appear, subject to the agreement reached by said parties in interest, or in the absence of any such agreement, then in accordance with a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. If after such loss no other special agreement is made, the decision to replace or not replace any such damaged alterations, improvements, and additions shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease including, without limitation, the Work Letter. The waiver of subrogation provisions contained in this Lease shall apply to the "all-risk" builder's risk insurance policy to be obtained by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph.
All insurance coverage to be provided by Tenant's contractors, subcontractors or movers must be required in a written contract between Tenant and its contractor and sub-contractors. Such contract must include a requirement to comply with the general insurance requirements set forth in this Section 21(b)(vii) as well as those in Section 21(c), and must contain an indemnity, including defense, of Landlord and Landlord’s Required Additional Insureds. A signed copy of the contract must be provided to Landlord. All such liability insurance (except employers liability) must (1) include the Required Additional Insureds as additional insureds; (2) be considered primary insurance and (3) require commercial general liability insurance to include coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal and advertising injury, contractual liability and products and completed operations coverage. The products and completed operations coverage must be maintained for a minimum of 2 years following completion of work. Tenant, its contractor and subcontractors will include Required Additional Insureds on the policy for full term of the work and the extended products and completed operations required time frame.
(c)      All policies required to be carried by Tenant and Tenant's contractors, subcontractors and movers hereunder must be issued by and binding upon an insurance company licensed or authorized to do business in the state in which the property is located with an A.M. Best’s Rating of at least "A-" "VIII" or better, unless otherwise acceptable to Landlord. Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done that would invalidate the insurance policies required. Liability insurance maintained by Tenant and Tenant's contractors, subcontractors and movers will be primary coverage without right of contribution by any similar insurance that may be maintained by Landlord. Certificates of insurance, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the existence and amount of each liability insurance policy required hereunder and Evidence of Property Insurance Form, Acord 28, evidencing property insurance as required, will be delivered to Landlord prior to delivery or possession of the Premises and fifteen (15) days prior to each renewal date. Liability policies (except employers liability) will each include an endorsement naming the Required Additional Insureds such additional insured status. The Evidence of Property Insurance Form will name Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee as loss payee for property insurance as respects Landlord's interest in improvements, alterations, and betterments. Further, the certificates must indicate that insurers will endeavor to provide at least 30 days' prior notice to Landlord and Landlord's managing agent prior to any cancellation of coverage.
If Tenant fails to provide evidence of insurance required to be provided by Tenant hereunder, prior to commencement of the term and thereafter during the term, within 10 days following Landlord's request thereof, and 10 days prior to the expiration date of any such coverage, Landlord will be authorized (but not required) to procure such coverage in the amount stated with all costs thereof, plus an administrative fee of 15% of such costs, to be chargeable to Tenant and payable upon written invoice thereof.

The limits of insurance required by this lease, or as carried by Tenant, will not limit the liability of Tenant or relieve Tenant of any obligation thereunder. Any deductibles selected by Tenant will be the sole responsibility of Tenant, and all such deductibles will be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

Landlord may, at its reasonable discretion, change the insurance policy limits and forms which are required to be provided by Tenant; such changes will be made to conform with common insurance requirements for similar properties in similar geographic locations. Landlord will not change required insurance limits or forms more often than once per calendar year.
(d)      Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and ordinances, all orders and decrees of court and all requirements of other governmental authority and all requirements of Landlord's insurance companies, and shall not directly or indirectly make any use of the Premises which may thereby be prohibited or be dangerous to person or property or which may jeopardize any insurance coverage, or may increase the cost of insurance or require additional insurance coverage. In the event of such increase in the cost of insurance or such requirement for additional insurance coverage, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof.
(e)      Throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall maintain, as a minimum, the following insurance policies: (1) property insurance for the Building’s replacement value (excluding property required to be insured by Tenant or by other tenants), less a commercially reasonable deductible if Landlord so chooses, and (2) commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than $3,000,000. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary. The cost of all insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Real Property shall be included in Expenses. The foregoing insurance policies and any other insurance carried by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord’s sole control, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder. Any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord may be taken out under a blanket insurance policy or policies covering other buildings, property or insureds in addition to the Building and Landlord. In such event, the costs of any such blanket insurance policy or policies shall be reasonably allocated to the Real Property and the other properties covered by such policy or policies as reasonably determined by Landlord and included as part of Expenses.
22.      Nonwaiver.
No waiver of any condition expressed in this Lease shall be implied by any neglect of either party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such condition whether or not such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver shall affect any condition other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. Without limiting the provisions of Section 10, it is agreed that no receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination in any way of the Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such moneys. It is also agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any moneys due, and the payment of said moneys shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
23.      Estoppel Certificate.
From time to time, Tenant shall furnish to any party designated by Landlord, within ten days after Landlord has made a request therefor (provided that such request is made in connection with an actual or proposed sale, refinancing, or other bona fide transaction related to the Real Estate), a certificate signed by Tenant stating the following, as requested: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the date the Lease commenced and the rent commencement date (if different); (c) whether Tenant has any options to renew or extend the Lease Term or any options, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer to expand the Premises or to purchase the Real Property and whether Tenant has exercised any of those options; (d) whether Tenant has accepted and is now in full possession of the Premises, and whether Tenant has assigned the Lease, sublet all or any portion of the Premises, or otherwise transferred any interest in the Lease or the Premises; Tenant agrees to provide a copy of such assignment, sublease or transfer upon request; (e) the current monthly installments of Base Rent and Additional Rent, the dates to which such rental and other charges have been paid, and that no such rent has been paid for more than 30 days in advance of its due date; (f) the base year(s) or base amount(s), if any, for Tenant's Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes; (g) whether Tenant is currently receiving any rental concessions, rebates or abatements and, if so, the terms of such concession, rebate or abatement, including, without limitation, the date when such concession, rebate or abatement will expire; (h) whether Tenant is entitled to any future rent concessions, rebates or abatements under the Lease and, if so, the terms of the future concessions, rebates or abatements; (i) the amount of the Security Deposit or letter of credit paid to or delivered to Landlord; (j) whether Tenant has received any notice of prior sale, transfer assignment, hypothecation or pledge of the Lease or of the rents payable thereunder; (k) that all alterations, improvements, additions, build-outs or construction required to be performed under the Lease have been completed and any required allowances have been paid (or if not completed or paid, stating the nature of the deficiencies); (l) that Tenant is paying rent on a current basis with no offsets or claims, and there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or of Tenant as is pertinent to the request (or specifying such offsets, claims or defaults, if any are claimed); and (m) such other matters as may be reasonably requested. If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord the certificate signed by Tenant within such required time period, then Landlord may elect to send a second notice, advising Tenant that Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such documentation within 5 business days after delivery of such second notice will constitute an Event of Default, and if Landlord sends such second notice and if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such documentation within such 5 business days, such failure will constitute an Event of Default.
24.      Tenant Authority to Execute Lease.
In case Tenant is a corporation, Tenant (a) represents and warrants that this Lease has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by and on behalf of the Tenant and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its agent, concurrently with the delivery of this Lease, executed by Tenant, certified resolutions of the board of directors (and shareholders, if required) authorizing Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease and the performance of Tenant obligations hereunder; and (c) until Landlord is notified in writing of a substitute therefor, Tenant's Authorized Representative set forth in the Schedule of Significant Terms shall have full power and authority to take action on behalf of and to bind Tenant with respect to all matters relating to this Lease and the Premises.
25.      Real Estate Brokers.
Neither Landlord nor Tenant has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease, other than the real estate broker or brokers disclosed in the Schedule of Significant Terms, whose commissions shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate written agreements. Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liens and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party.
26.      Notices.
Landlord’s address for delivery of Rent payments will be as follows or at such other place as Landlord may hereafter designate in writing:

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company
c/o Van Vlissingen and Co.
One Overlook Point , Suite 100
Lincolnshire, IL 60069

Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval, or other communication required or permitted under this Lease must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when (a) hand-delivered, effective upon receipt, (b) sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, effective upon on the business day immediately following acceptance by such carrier for next business day delivery, or (c) sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the party for whom it is intended at its address set forth in the Schedule of Significant Terms, deposited in the United States Mail, with postage thereon fully prepaid, effective on the day of actual delivery as shown by the addressee's return receipt or the expiration of three (3) business days after the date of mailing, whichever is earlier, or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, effective upon receipt provided that a hard copy is delivered by one of the methods outlined in clauses (a) through (c) above within three (3) days thereafter. Either Landlord or Tenant may add additional addresses or change its address for purposes of receipt of any such communication by giving ten (10) days' prior written notice of such change to the other party in the manner prescribed in this Section 26, but all such addresses must be physical addresses in the continental United State. Tenant is advised and acknowledges that until further notice to Tenant, Van Vlissingen and Co., the present property manager for the Building and agent of Landlord, has authority to execute and deliver notices hereunder to Tenant on behalf of Landlord.
27.      Financial Statements.
During the Term upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant's audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year of Tenant, or if Tenant does not normally prepare audited financial statements, unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and certified as true, correct and complete by the chief financial officer of Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to ensure that all financial statements furnished by Tenant are kept confidential by Landlord and any Landlord’s Mortgagee or prospective purchaser that may receive the same, and that such statements are used only for the purpose of assessing the credit-worthiness of Tenant as a tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 27 to the contrary, so long as (i) Tenant is a publicly traded corporation listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ZBRA”; and (ii) Tenant’s annual report and audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year of Tenant are available on Tenant’s website, at http://investors.zebra.com/, or are publicly and readily available from other sources such as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, then Tenant will not be required to deliver such financial statements to Landlord.
28.      Miscellaneous.
(a)      Each provision of this Lease shall extend to and shall bind and inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and Tenant, but also their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, but this provision shall not operate to permit any transfer, assignment, mortgage, encumbrance, lien, charge, or subletting contrary to the provisions of Section 13.
(b)      No modification, waiver, or amendment of this Lease or of any of its conditions or provisions shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.
(c)      Submission of this instrument for examination shall not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises or in any manner bind Landlord and no lease or obligation on Landlord shall arise until this instrument is signed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, the execution and delivery by Tenant of this Lease to Landlord or the agent of Landlord's beneficiary shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions herein contained, which offer may not be revoked for thirty (30) days after such delivery.
(d)      The word "Tenant" whenever used herein shall be construed to mean Tenants or any one or more of them in all cases where there is more than one Tenant; and the necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations or other organizations, partnerships, or other entities, or individuals, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. In all cases where there is more than one Tenant, the liability of each shall be joint and several.
(e)      Clauses, plats, and riders, if any, signed by Landlord and Tenant and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are part hereof and in the event of variation or discrepancy the duplicate original hereof, including such clauses, plats, and riders, if any, held by Landlord shall control.
(f)      The headings of Sections are for convenience only and do not limit, expand, or construe the contents of the Sections.
(g)      Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer, or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
(h)      Time is of the essence of this Lease and of each and all provisions thereof.
(i)      All past due payments required of Tenant hereunder shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate. The term " Default Rate " means a rate of interest equal to 10% per annum (the " Fixed Rate "); provided, however, that as to any calendar month for which such interest is being calculated, if the Fixed Rate is less than 400 basis points over the Prime Rate (defined below) in effect on the first day of such calendar month, then the Default Rate for such calendar month will be the Prime Rate in effect on the first day of such calendar month plus 400 basis points; provided, further, that if the Default Rate as calculated above results in an interest rate that is higher than the maximum lawful rate, then the Default Rate will be the maximum lawful rate. For purposes hereof, the " Prime Rate " means the rate of interest announced from time to time by J.P. Morgan Chase, Chicago, Illinois (or any successor), as its "prime rate" or "corporate base rate," changing as and when such rate changes, or if such rate is no longer in existence, then such other "prime rate" as may be designated by Landlord. Additionally, Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, may charge Tenant a late fee equal to the greater of (a) five percent of the delinquent payment, or (b) $250, to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the late fee referenced above shall not be charged with respect to the first occurrence (but not any subsequent occurrence) during any 12-calendar month period that Tenant fails to make payment when due, until five (5) business days after Landlord delivers written notice of such delinquency to Tenant.
(j)      The legal invalidity of any provision of this Lease shall not impair or affect in any manner the validity, enforceability, or effect of the rest of this Lease.
(k)      All understandings and agreements, oral or written, heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between Landlord (and its beneficiary and their agents) and Tenant.
(l)      This Lease (and amendments to this Lease) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one document. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Lease to physically form one document.
(m)      This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings relating thereto. Except for those set forth in this Lease, no representations, warranties, or agreements have been made by Landlord or Tenant to the other with respect to this Lease or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant in connection therewith. Except as otherwise provided herein, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant. The normal rule of construction that any ambiguities be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
(n)      TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND SUBTENANTS) AND LANDLORD EACH, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO. Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any kind in any action or proceeding by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises based on nonpayment of rent except for 'compulsory' counterclaims, if any, which would be lost if not raised at such action or proceeding and could not be brought in a separate action or proceeding.
(o)      This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located.
(p)      Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord, and any recordation by Tenant shall be a material breach of this Lease. Tenant grants to Landlord a power of attorney to execute and record a release releasing any such recorded instrument of record that was recorded without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(q)      To the extent Tenant or its agents or employees discover any water leakage, water damage or mold in or about the Premises or Building, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord thereof in writing or via email.
(r)      Landlord may from time to time elect to designate a lock box collection agent (independent agent, bank or other financial institution) to act as Landlord's agent for the collection of amounts due Landlord. In such event the date of payment of rent or other sums paid Landlord through such agent will be the date of agent's receipt of such payment (or the date of collection of any such sum if payment is made in the form of a negotiable instrument thereafter dishonored upon presentment); however, for purposes of this Lease, no such payment or collection will be deemed "accepted" by Landlord if Landlord issues a check payable to the order of the Tenant in the amount sent to the lock box and if Landlord mails the check to the Tenant addressed to the place designated in this lease for notice to Tenant within 21 days after the amount sent by the Tenant is received by the lock box collection agent or if the Landlord returns a dishonored instrument within 21 days of its dishonor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, Landlord will not invoke its rights under this subsection unless an Event of Default then exists under this Lease. Return of any such sum to Tenant by so sending such a check of the Landlord or by so sending a dishonored instrument to the Tenant within the appropriate 21-day period will be deemed to be rejection of Tenant's tender of such payment for all purposes as of the date of Landlord's lock box collection agent's receipt of such payment (or collection). The return of Tenant's payment in the manner described in this paragraph will be deemed not to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease nor a waiver of any of Landlord's rights or remedies granted in this Lease. The possession of Tenant's funds or negotiation of Tenant's negotiable instrument by Landlord's agent or Landlord during the applicable 21-day period will be deemed not to be a waiver of any defaults of Tenant or any rights of Landlord theretofore accrued nor shall any such possession or negotiation be considered an acceptance of Tenant's tender.
(s)      Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the taking of any action by Landlord, Landlord will not be liable or responsible for, and there will be excluded from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipated, shortages of labor or materials, war, acts of terrorism or bioterrorism, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, inability to obtain necessary governmental permits and approvals (including building permits or certificates of occupancy), inability to obtain necessary approvals by any applicable property association or its board of directors, financing, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
(t)      Nothing contained in this Lease will be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties herein, will be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant. This Lease is made for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, in the case of Sections 18 and 19, Landlord's Mortgagee, and their respective successors and assigns (subject to the limitations on assignment set forth above), and no other person or persons shall have any right or remedy or other legal interest of any kind under or by reason of this Lease. Whether or not either party hereto elects to employ any or all the rights, powers or remedies available to it hereunder, such party shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of this Agreement or by reason of any of such party's actions or omissions pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this Lease or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(u)      This Lease does not create, nor will Tenant have, any express or implied easement for or other rights to air, light or view over or about the Real Property or any part thereof.
(v)      The section or subsection headings are used for convenience of reference only and do not define, limit or extend the scope or intent of the sections.
(w)      Tenant acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease are to remain confidential for Landlord’s benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Landlord’s prior written consent; however, Tenant may disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners, or if required by Law or court order , provided, except to the extent that such disclosure is required by Law or court order, all parties to whom Tenant is permitted hereunder to disclose such terms and conditions are advised by Tenant of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure). Tenant shall be liable for any disclosures made in violation of this Section by Tenant or by any entity or individual to whom the terms of and conditions of this Lease were disclosed or made available by Tenant. The consent by Landlord to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Landlord of any prohibition against any future disclosure.
29.      Landlord's Authority and Quiet Enjoyment.
Landlord covenants and represents that it has full and complete authority to enter into this Lease under all of the terms, conditions, and provisions set forth herein. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and all matters of record as of the date of this Lease which are applicable to the Premises.
30.      Landlord.
The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease means only the owner or owners at the time being of the Building so that in the event of any assignment, conveyance, or sale, once or successively, of the Building, or any assignment of this Lease by Landlord, said Landlord making such sale, conveyance, or assignment shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing after such sale, conveyance, or assignment, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such purchaser, grantee, or assignee with respect thereto. This Lease shall not be affected by any such assignment, conveyance, or sale, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser, grantee, or assignee.
31.      Title and Covenant Against Liens.
The Landlord's title is and always shall be paramount to the title of the Tenant and nothing in this Lease contained shall empower the Tenant to do any act which can, shall, or may encumber the title of the Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen to be placed upon or against the Real Property, the Land, the Building, or the Premises or against the Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises and, in case of any such lien attaching, to immediately pay and remove same. Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law, or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Land, Building, or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach only to Tenant's interest in the Premises. If any such liens so attach and Tenant fails to pay and remove same within ten (10) days, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of payment at the rate set forth in Section 28(i) hereof for amounts owed Landlord by Tenant. Such sums shall be deemed to be additional rent due and payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord Parties from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in any way arising from or relating to the failure by any Tenant Party to pay for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
32.      Intentionally Omitted.
33.      Parking.
During the Term, Tenant will have the non-exclusive use in common with Landlord, other tenants of the Building, their guests and invitees, of the non-reserved common automobile parking areas, driveways, and footways, subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as prescribed from time to time by Landlord.

Tenant's use (including such use by Tenant’s servants, employees, customers, invitees and guests) of the Building's parking areas (including, without limitation, unassigned parking and any assigned parking now or hereafter granted to Tenant from time to time) may not exceed 3.5 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet in the Premises. No specific designated parking spaces will be assigned to Tenant unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing. Landlord will have the right to reserve parking spaces as it elects and condition use thereof on such terms as it elects. Based on the rentable area of the initial Premises (230,870 rsf), Tenant’s initial maximum parking allocation will be 808 parking spaces. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is exceeding its parking ratio, and such situation occurs or continues after Landlord so notifies Tenant, then Landlord may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to implement one or more parking controls, such as, without limitation, cordoning off a section of the parking area and reserving it for one or more tenants being negatively affected by Tenant’s excessive parking use, and in such event Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith.

Irrespective of whether Landlord initiates parking management controls as discussed below, Tenant shall not use, or permit or suffer Tenant Parties to use in the aggregate, more than the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant as set forth above. Tenant shall not use, or permit or suffer Tenant Party to use, any parking spaces associated with Two Overlook Point. In addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies (all of which will be cumulative), Landlord may elect at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, with 30 days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to institute parking controls such as, without limitation (and without obligation), parking stickers or permits, parking cards with gated access, or assigned parking spaces or assigned parking sections. If Landlord initiates parking controls, then Landlord will issue to Tenant such parking stickers, permits, cards, or other evidence of parking rights or means of parking access corresponding to the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant pursuant to this Section 33. In addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies (all of which will be cumulative), Landlord may enforce such parking restrictions and limitations through such means as Landlord may elect, such as, without limitation, the following, as to any vehicle of a Tenant Party exceeding Tenant’s allocated parking, or as to any vehicle not displaying the required parking permit evidence: placing a warning sticker on the window of the vehicle; a charge of $100 per space per day or partial day (which amount is to be paid by Tenant as additional rent within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time); booting offending vehicles; and towing offending vehicles.

All such parking shall be subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Tenant, its servants, employees, customers, invitees, and guests shall, when using the parking facilities in and around the Building, observe and obey all signs regarding fire lanes, no parking zones, driving speed zones and designated reserved, visitor and handicapped spaces, and when parking, always park between the designated lines. If required by Landlord, Tenant shall cause its servants, employees, customers, invitees and guests who utilize the Tenant's allotted parking spaces, to display stickers or decals provided by Landlord in their vehicles.

Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines that are installed in violation of these provisions. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void.
(b)      Definition of Electronic Services. As used herein “ Electronic Services Provider ” means a business which provides telephone, telegraph, telex, video, other telecommunications or other services which permit Tenant to receive or transmit information by the use of electronics and which require the use of wires, cables, antennas or similar devices in or on the Building. The services of Electronic Services Providers are sometimes referred to herein as “ Electronic Services .”
(c)      No Right to Specific Services . Landlord shall have no obligation (i) to install any Electronic Services equipment or facilities, (ii) to make available to Tenant the services of any particular Electronic Services Provider, (iii) to allow any particular Electronic Services Provider access to the Building, (iv) to continue to grant access to an Electronic Services Provider once such provider has been given access to the Building. Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (x) install new Lines at the property, (y) create additional space for Lines at the property, and (z) adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations with respect to Lines.
(d)      Limitation of Landlord’s Responsibility. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all Electronic Services desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant. Unless Landlord otherwise requests or consents in writing, all of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment shall be and remain solely in the Tenant’s premises and the telephone closet(s) on the floor(s) on which the Tenant’s premises is located, in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment, including Lines; nor for any Lines or other infrastructure to which Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment may be connected. Tenant agrees that, to the extent any Electronic Services are interrupted, curtailed or discontinued, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto and it shall be the sole obligation of Tenant at its own expense to obtain substitute service. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”): (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (z) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the property. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.
(e)      Necessary Service Interruptions. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to interrupt or turn off Electronic Services facilities in the event of emergency or as necessary in connection with maintenance, repairs or construction at the Building or installation of Electronic Services equipment for other tenants of the Building or on account of violation by the Electronic Services Provider or owner of the Electronic Services equipment of any obligation to Landlord or in the event that Tenant’s use of the Electronic Services infrastructure of the Building materially interferes with the Electronic Services of other tenants of the Building. The costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such interruption or turning off of Electronic Services will be borne by Landlord (unless and except to the extent that the same may be included in Expenses) unless such interruption or turning off of Electronic Services is necessary or appropriate due to any breach or default by Tenant or its Electronic Services provider.
(f)      Removal of Equipment and Other Facilities. Any and all Electronic Services equipment installed in the Tenant’s Premises or elsewhere in the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, shall be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term, by Tenant at its sole cost; if Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s election but without obligation, remove the same at Tenant’s sole cost, with the cost thereof to be paid as additional rent. However, Tenant will not be required to remove its Lines from the Premises so long as each end of each such Line is terminated with a connector (and not just snipped off) and labeled.
(g)      New Provider Installations. In the event that Tenant wishes at any time to utilize the services of an Electronic Services Provider whose equipment is not then servicing the Building, no such Electronic Services Provider shall be permitted to install its Lines or other equipment within the Building without first securing the prior written approval of the Landlord. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the Electronic Services Provider. Without limitation of the foregoing standard, unless all of the following conditions are satisfied to Landlord’s satisfaction, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to give its approval: (i) Landlord shall incur no current expense or risk or future expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the Electronic Services Provider’s provision of its Electronic Services, including without limitation, the costs of installation, materials and services; (ii) prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the Electronic Services Provider, the Electronic Services Provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the Electronic Services Provider; (iii) the Electronic Services Provider agrees to abide by such rules and regulations, Building and other codes, job site rules and such other requirements as are reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interests of the Building, the tenants in the Building and Landlord, in the same or similar manner as Landlord has the right to protect itself and the Building with respect to proposed alterations as described in Section 6 of this Lease; (iv) Landlord reasonably determines that, considering other potential uses for space in the Building, there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the provider’s equipment, conduit, Lines and other materials; (v) the Electronic Services Provider agrees to abide by Landlord’s requirements, if any, that provider use existing Building conduits and pipes or use Building contractors (or other contractors approved by Landlord); (vi) Landlord receives from the Electronic Services Provider such compensation as is reasonably determined by Landlord to compensate it for space used in the Building for the storage and maintenance of the Electronic Services Provider’s equipment, for the fair market value of an Electronic Services Provider’s access to the Building, for the use of common or core space within the Building and the costs which may reasonably be expected to be incurred by Landlord; (vii) the provider agrees to deliver to Landlord detailed “as built” plans immediately after the installation of the provider’s equipment is complete; and (viii) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written license agreement between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may at any time and without notice require that any wires or cables that Tenant desires to have installed in the Building risers be installed at Tenant’s cost by the riser management company (if any) then engaged by Landlord for such purpose.
(h)      Limit of Default or Breach . Notwithstanding any provision of the preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the refusal of Landlord to grant its approval to any prospective Electronic Services Provider shall not be deemed a default or breach by Landlord of its obligation under this Lease unless and until Landlord is adjudicated to have acted recklessly or maliciously with respect to Tenant’s request for approval, and in that event, Tenant shall still have no right to terminate the Lease or claim an entitlement to rent abatement, but may as Tenant’s sole and exclusive recourse seek a judicial order of specific performance compelling Landlord to grant its approval as to the prospective provider in question. The provisions of this paragraph may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord, are not for the benefit of any other party, and specifically but without limitation, no telephone or other Electronic Services Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Lease.
(i)      Installation and Use of Wireless Technologies. Tenant shall not utilize any wireless Electronic Services equipment (other than usual and customary cellular telephones), including antennae and satellite receiver dishes, within the Tenant’s premises, within the Building or attached to the outside walls or roof of the Building, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Such consent may be conditioned in such a manner so as to protect Landlord’s financial interests and the interests of the Building, and the other tenants therein, in a manner similar to the arrangements described in the immediately preceding paragraphs.
(j)      Limitation of Liability For Equipment Interference. In the event that Electronic Services equipment, Lines and facilities or satellite and antennae equipment of any type installed by or at the request of Tenant within the Tenant’s premises, on the roof, or elsewhere within or on the Building causes interference to equipment used by another party outside of the Premises, and if such other party’s equipment (with which Tenant’s equipment interferes) was installed before the installation of Tenant’s interfering equipment, Tenant shall cease using such equipment, Lines and facilities or satellite and antennae equipment (as the case may be) until the source of the interference is identified and eliminated and Tenant shall assume all liability related to such interference. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and other parties, to eliminate such interference promptly. In the event that Tenant is unable to do so, Tenant will substitute alternative equipment which remedies the situation. If such interference persists, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole discretion, remove such equipment. Landlord will include in all other leases of space in the Building entered into after the date of this Lease, a provision obligating such tenants to prevent their Electronic Services equipment from interfering with pre-existing Electronic Services equipment of other tenants.
38.      Hazardous Materials.
(a)    For purposes of this Lease, "hazardous materials" means any explosives, radioactive materials, petroleum products, hazardous wastes, or hazardous substances, including without limitation substances defined as "hazardous substances" in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.

Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used or operated in a manner that may cause the Premises or the Project to be contaminated by any hazardous materials in violation of any hazardous materials laws or result in the diminution of the value of the Building or Project or degradation of structural materials of the Premises. Tenant shall immediately advise Landlord in writing of (1) any and all enforcement, cleanup, remedial, removal, or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed, or threatened pursuant to any hazardous materials laws relating to any hazardous materials affecting the Premises; and (2) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Tenant, Landlord, or the Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss, or injury resulting from any hazardous materials on or about the Premises. Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not take any remedial action or enter into any agreements or settlements in response to the presence of any hazardous materials in, on, or about the Premises.

(c)    Tenant shall be solely responsible for and will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, and employees harmless from and against all claims, costs, and liabilities, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant's breach of its obligations in this Section 38.

Tenant's obligations under this Section 38 will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

39.      Intentionally Omitted.
40.      Allowance Offset.
Landlord Allowance Default ” under this Lease means failure by Landlord to pay or disburse the Allowances or any portion thereof to Tenant or to the escrowee described in the Work Letter within 30 days after written notice from Tenant of failure to pay or disburse the same on the due date. Without limiting other remedies provided for or granted elsewhere in this Lease, if a Landlord Allowance Default occurs, Tenant shall have any rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and in addition Tenant will have the right to set off against amounts due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder the amount owed by Landlord (a) with respect to which Landlord has not, by the end of such 30-day period, sent a notice of dispute as set forth below in this Section 40, or (b) the amount of any final, non-appealable judgment entered against Landlord in favor of Tenant in connection with Landlord’s failure to pay or disburse such Allowances, if Landlord fails to satisfy the same when due. If Landlord, in good faith, believes that the Allowances are not due or that the conditions to disbursement have not been fulfilled, Landlord will so notify Tenant and will nevertheless pay the amount not in dispute prior to expiration of the 30-day period set forth above in this Section 40. Any such amount which Tenant may elect to set off hereunder shall be applied to the next payments due Landlord hereunder so as to apply such amount as soon as possible. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 40, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant will have no right to set off any amounts against rent due under this Lease.
41.      Building Monument Sign.
Landlord agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 41, Tenant will have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install a multi-tenant monument sign in a location on the Land reasonably designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant (the “ Building Monument Sign ”), and in such event, Tenant will be permitted to attach a sign (“ Tenant’s Sign Panel ”) consisting of Tenant’s name and corporate logo on the top slot allocated to tenants, in each case subject to all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that this right is nonexclusive, and that Landlord may grant the right to other tenants to install signage on other slots of such Building Monument Sign. Tenant will be responsible for all costs in connection with Tenant’s Sign Panel, including, without limitation, the cost of design, construction, maintenance, operation and removal at the end of the Term. Tenant’s Sign Panel and the design and appearance thereof will and subject to the prior written approval by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed However, Tenant may apply a portion of the Allowance toward Tenant’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to the initial construction and installation of the Building Monument Sign and the initial design, purchase, and installation of Tenant’s Sign Panel. The following terms and conditions will apply to the Building Monument Sign:

(a)    Within a reasonable time after mutual execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord will, with consideration of Tenant’s input, prepare, at Landlord’s cost, prepare preliminary renderings of the Building Monument Sign consistent with the Sign Criteria set forth in Exhibit F for Tenant’s approval, which approval by Tenant will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord will reasonably consider Tenant’s input on such design, but Landlord will have the right to approve or disapprove any changes to such design. Once the parties have agreed upon such preliminary design, Landlord will, at Landlord’s cost, have final plans and specifications prepared, conforming to the agreed upon renderings (the “ Approved Monument Sign Plans ”).

(b)    Landlord provide Tenant with a sufficient number of copies of the Approved Monument Sign Plans, and Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, will seek approval of all federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Building. Tenant’s inability or failure to obtain any such permits, approvals or licenses, or the expiration or cancellation of the same, and the resulting inability of Tenant to install or maintain the Building Monument Sign, will not invalidate this Lease or reduce Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(c)    Upon Tenant’s receipt of all applicable permits and approvals as described above for the installation of the Building Monument Sign, Tenant will cause the Building Monument Sign to be installed in accordance with the Approved Monument Sign Plans, and such permits and approvals,. Such installation will be performed pursuant to the Work Letter as part of the Tenant Work, and subject to the provisions set forth in this Section and in Exhibit F for the preparation of the plans and specifications for the Building Monument Sign, such installation will be performed pursuant to the Work Letter.

(d)    After Tenant’s final completion of the installation of such Building Monument Sign, and Landlord’s acceptance of such installation, this Lease will constitute a bill of sale whereby Tenant conveys to Landlord title to the Building Monument Sign (which conveyance will be with warranty of title but otherwise without representation or warranty), whereupon Landlord will undertake to repair and maintain the Building Monument Sign (but not Tenant’s Sign Panel) for the remainder of the Term, which costs will be included in Expenses.

(e)    Tenant may not make any alterations or modifications to the Building Monument Sign after installation thereof, without Landlord’s prior written approval.

(f)    The Building Monument Sign must comply with the Sign Criteria set forth in Exhibit F .

(g)    The name to be displayed on Tenant’s Sign Panel will be either of the following, as Tenant may elect: “Zebra Technologies Corporation” or “Zebra Technologies”. If Tenant changes its name, Landlord will not unreasonably refuse to permit Tenant to replace the name on Tenant’s Sign Panel with Tenant’s new name so long as such name is befitting of a Class A office building.

(h)    During the Term, Tenant’s Sign Panel will be in the top position of those slots on the Building Monument Sign provided for tenants.

42.      Hewitt Second Amendment.
Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Landlord and Hewitt, in their respective sole and absolute discretion, of the Hewitt Second Amendment (as defined in the Recitals), mutually acceptable to such parties in their sole and absolute discretion, pursuant to which, among other things, Landlord would have the right to terminate the Hewitt Lease solely as to all or portions of the space leased thereunder but which is not included in the Premises under this Lease. If, for any reason or no reason, Landlord or Hewitt (or both) fails to execute and deliver to the other the Hewitt Second Amendment on or before November 15, 2013 (the " Execution Deadline "), Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given at any time after the Execution Deadline but prior to execution and delivery by Landlord and Hewitt of the Hewitt Second Amendment.

43.      Right of First Offer.
(a)    For purposes of this Section, " Potential Offer Space " means all rentable space on the 5 th floor of the Building, as depicted on Exhibit I . The Potential Offer Space is mutually stipulated to contain 52,388 rentable square feet.

(b)    Subject to the provisions set forth hereinafter, Tenant will have a right of first offer (the “ Right of First Offer ”) to lease from Landlord the Potential Offer Space. The provisions of this Section will apply to all or any of the Potential Offer Space as all or any of the Potential Offer Space may become available for lease on or after the date hereof, subject and subordinate to any extensions or renewals of existing leases of Potential Offer Space; provided, however, that Landlord hereby represents that no tenant of the Building has any expansion or renewal rights or options on the Potential Offer Space other than any such rights as may exist under the Hewitt Lease (including the Hewitt Second Amendment). In each instance, in this Section, in which Tenant’s Right of First Offer is stated to be subordinate to a renewal option or extension option, such Right of First Offer will be deemed subordinate to any renewal or extension (of the lease to the tenant holding such renewal or extension option) having a term reasonably comparable to the term allowed by such renewal or extension option regardless of whether such renewal or extension is strictly in accordance with such option, regardless of whether any or all of the conditions to the exercise of such option are met, and regardless of whether such option is actually or formally exercised. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Section 43 as to less than all of the Potential Offer Space offered by Landlord.

(c)    If any portion of the Potential Offer Space becomes available (as described above and subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth above), then before leasing such space to third parties, Landlord will offer to Tenant the right to lease such available Potential Offer Space pursuant to this Right of First Offer. Landlord will make such offer to Tenant in a written notice (the " Offer Notice "). The Potential Offer Space offered in an Offer Notice is referred to herein as “ Offer Space ”. However, Landlord will not deliver an Offer Notice on any particular Potential Offer Space unless and until Landlord has received a written counter offer for such space from a bona fide prospective tenant, provided in response to a lease proposal from Landlord issued as a result of a written request for proposal from such bona fide prospective tenant. Any such offer by Landlord to any such prospective tenant (and the resulting offer of such space to Tenant under an Offer Notice, should Landlord receive a written counter offer as described above), may include all or such portions of the Potential Offer Space as Landlord may elect. Landlord may deliver an Offer Notice at any time after the date hereof. The fact that the Offer Space may then be leased to Hewitt pursuant to the Hewitt Lease will not be a factor in determining whether such Offer Space is, or will become, available for lease; it being understood that Landlord’s ability to exercise the Hewitt Lease Landlord Recapture Right will suffice to make such space available or potentially available in the event that an offer from a bona fide prospective tenant has been received as set forth above.

(d)    The provisions of this Section 43(d) will apply only to Landlord’s offer of Potential Offer Space under a Landlord’s Offer Notice delivered before February 16, 2017:

If Landlord gives such Offer Notice to Tenant, then the Offer Notice will specify that Landlord is offering such space to Tenant on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as applicable to the initial Premises (excluding lower level) except as otherwise set forth in this Section. The expiration date of the Term in respect of such Offer Space will be coterminous with the Expiration Date for the initial Premises. If Tenant exercises the Right of First Offer with respect to Offer Space, (i) the Base Rent for such Offer Space initially will be at the same rate per rentable square foot as then applies to the initial Premises (excluding lower level), and thereafter will be at the same rate per rentable square foot as the rate per rentable square foot for the initial Premises (excluding lower level), increasing from time to time as the rate per rentable square foot for the initial Premises increases; (ii) the rent abatement set forth in Section 1(b) will apply to the Offer Space; (iii) the Allowance will not apply to the Offer Space, but Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance calculated as follows: $45 multiplied by the number of rentable square feet in such Offer Space, which allowance would be applied toward Tenant’s initial leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Offer Space; (iv) the Additional Allowance will not apply to Offer Space; and (v) the Term of Tenant’s lease of such Offer Space will commence (subject to the provisions of Section 43(j)) upon the earliest to occur of the following but not before March 1, 2017: (A) the 10 th day after Tenant’s substantial completion of Tenant's initial leasehold improvements to such Offer Space; (B) the date on which Tenant begins occupying such Offer Space for the conduct of business; and (C) the 120 th day after Landlord's delivery to Tenant of possession of such Offer Space, and will expire on the Expiration Date of the initial Term for the initial Premises (subject to renewal as set forth in Sections 44 and 45). The allowance described in this subparagraph will be governed by and disbursed in accordance with a work letter prepared by Landlord that will be in the form of Landlord's then standard work letter for performance of work by the tenant with an allowance, which work letter will be comparable to the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit D (excluding the Additional Allowance, and except that Tenant’s work will not include common area improvements); provided, however, that the disbursement provisions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D will apply thereto, and in no event will Landlord be obligated to disburse any portion of such allowance before March 1, 2017. Landlord’s lease of the Offer Space to Tenant will be as-is. All costs of leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 43(e) will apply only to Landlord’s offer of Potential Offer Space under a Landlord’s Offer Notice delivered before on or after February 16, 2017:

If Landlord gives such Offer Notice to Tenant, then the Offer Notice will specify that Landlord is offering such space to Tenant on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as applicable to the initial Premises except as otherwise set forth in this Section. The expiration date of the Lease Term in respect of such Offer Space will be coterminous with the Expiration Date for the initial Premises. If Tenant exercises the Right of First Offer with respect to Offer Space, (i) the Base Rent for such Offer Space will be at the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit H ), as determined by Landlord; (ii) the rent abatement set forth in Section 1(b) will not apply to the Offer Space; (iii) Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance per rentable square foot of space in the applicable portion of the Offer Space equal to the Fair Market Allowance (as defined in Exhibit H ), which Fair Market Allowance would be applied toward Tenant’s initial leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Offer Space; and (iv) the Term in respect of such Offer Space will commence upon Landlord's delivery to Tenant of such Offer Space, and will expire on the Expiration Date on the Expiration Date of the initial Term for the initial Premises (subject to renewal as set forth in Sections 44 and 45). The allowance described in this subparagraph will be governed by and disbursed in accordance with a work letter prepared by Landlord that will be in the form of Landlord's then standard work letter for performance of work by the tenant with an allowance, which work letter will be comparable to the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit D (excluding the Additional Allowance, and except that Tenant’s work will not include common area improvements). Landlord may take into account Tenant’s creditworthiness in determining the disbursement terms and scheduling for the Fair Market Allowance. Landlord’s lease of the Offer Space to Tenant will be as-is. All costs of leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant.

The following provisions will apply to all Offer Space except as otherwise noted.

(f)    Within 10 business days after the effective date of Landlord’s Offer Notice, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a binding notice (" Tenant’s ROFO Response Notice ") in which Tenant elects (i) to lease the Offer Space and to accept the terms set forth in Landlord’s Offer Notice; (ii) to lease the Offer Space but to dispute Landlord’s terms as set forth in the Offer Notice, in which event the dispute will be resolved pursuant to Exhibit J ; or (iii) not to lease such Offer Space If Tenant fails to give such notice within such time, Tenant will irrevocably be deemed to have elected not to lease such Offer Space. After Tenant delivers its binding notice exercising the Right of First Offer (and, if applicable, after completion of the dispute resolution process), Landlord will prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease reflecting the terms of such exercise and such expansion, but Landlord's failure to deliver the same, or Landlord's or Tenant's failure or refusal to execute and deliver such amendment, will not affect the validity or enforceability of Tenant's exercise of the Right of First Offer. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s exercise notices. If Tenant accepts Landlord's offer, Tenant must accept all of the Offer Space then being offered by Landlord, and may not exercise its right with respect to only part of such space.

(g)    If Tenant at any time declines (or fails to timely accept) any Offer Space offered by Landlord, Tenant's Right of First Offer on such Offer Space will be null and void, and Landlord will be free to lease such Offer Space described in the Offer Notice to any prospective tenant on any terms and conditions, regardless of whether the same as or different from that set forth in the Offer Notice; provided, however, that if Landlord leases such Offer Space and such lease expires or terminates and the tenant vacates the Offer Space, then Tenant’s Right of First Offer on such Offer Space will be reinstated.

(h)    The foregoing Right of First Offer may not be severed from this Lease or separately sold, assigned or transferred and is subject to the following additional conditions, namely: (i) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its Renewal Option, and at the commencement of the Renewal Term, no Event of Default exists; (ii) that Tenant has not assigned the Lease (other than to Permitted Transferees); and (iii) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its Right of First Offer, Tenant and its Permitted Transferees occupy at least 75% of the Premises. Each of the foregoing conditions is waivable by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

(i)    Landlord will not exercise the Hewitt Lease Landlord Recapture Right (as defined in the Recitals) as to any rentable space in the Building not included in the Zebra Sublease Premises (as defined in the Recitals) unless and until Landlord has first delivered to Tenant an Offer Notice for such space, and Tenant has declined to exercise (or failed to exercise timely) the Right of First Offer for such space. If Landlord delivers an Offer Notice pursuant to Section 43(d) on Offer Space and Tenant does not exercise timely its Right of First Offer for such Offer Space, Tenant agrees that Tenant will not and may not exercise the Zebra Sublease Expansion Right as to such Offer Space (or any portion thereof), and may not otherwise sublease such Offer Space (or any portion thereof) from Hewitt, for a period of 270 days from the deadline (as set forth above) for delivering Tenant’s ROFO Response Notice as to such Offer Notice; in such event if Landlord exercises the Hewitt Lease Landlord Recapture Right as to such Offer Space before the expiration of such 270-day period, Tenant’s Right of First Offer on such Offer Space will be null and void (subject to the provisions of Section 43(g) above), but if Landlord does not exercise the Hewitt Lease Landlord Recapture Right as to such Offer Space before the expiration of such 270-day period, then nothing in this Section 43(i) will prohibit Tenant from thereafter exercising the Zebra Sublease Expansion Right as to such Offer Space (and if Tenant exercises such Zebra Sublease Expansion Right, then the provisions of Section 43(j) below will apply). If, however, Tenant does exercise its Right of First Offer as to Offer Space in response to Landlord’s Offer Notice delivered pursuant to Section 43(d), then Tenant’s lease of such Offer Space under this Lease will be in accordance with Section 43(d), and if Tenant desires to have the use of such Offer Space before the Commencement Date of this Lease, Tenant will sublease the same from Hewitt by exercising the Zebra Sublease Expansion Option pursuant to the Zebra Sublease.

(j)    If (subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 43(i) above) the Zebra Sublease Premises under the Zebra Sublease are expanded pursuant to the Zebra Sublease Expansion Option (or otherwise pursuant to agreement between Tenant and Hewitt) (“ Sublease Expansion Space ”), then automatically Landlord will be deemed to have delivered an Offer Notice for such space, and Tenant will be deemed to have delivered Tenant’s ROFO Response Notice exercising Tenant’s Right of First Offer as to such space, on the terms set forth in Section 43(d), such that such Sublease Expansion Space will be included automatically in the Premises during the Lease Term on the terms set forth in Section 43 (i.e., Section 43(d)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 43(j) will apply even if Landlord previously delivered to Tenant, prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, an Offer Notice for such Sublease Expansion Space but Tenant declined to exercise or failed to exercise timely the Right of First Offer therefor, except to the extent that Tenant was prevented from exercising the Zebra Sublease Expansion Option pursuant to Section 43(i) above.

44.      Options to Renew.
Subject to the provisions set forth below, the Lease Term may be renewed, at the option of Tenant (each, a " Renewal Option "), for two (2) additional period of 60 months each (each, a “ Renewal Term ” and together the “ Renewal Terms ”). Each Renewal Term will be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except (i) the rent abatement rights and leasehold improvement allowances granted under this Lease will not apply to the Renewal Term; (ii) Section 42 (Hewitt Second Amendment) will not apply during the Renewal Term; (iii) the Work Letter attached hereto will not apply to the Renewal Term; and (iv) the Base Rent due for such Renewal Term will be as set forth in this Section. Any reference in the Lease to the “Term” will be deemed to include the Renewal Terms (to the extent that Tenant exercises the corresponding Renewal Option) and apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. Tenant will have no renewal option beyond the aforesaid two 60-month periods.

(a)    The Base Rent during each Renewal Term for the Premises will be at a rate equal to the then Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit H ), as determined by Landlord, and for a term equal or comparable to such Renewal Term. Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expenses will continue during the Renewal Terms. Tenant’s obligation to pay any Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization pursuant to Section 46 will continue during the Renewal Terms.

(b)    If Tenant exercises a Renewal Option, Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance equal to the Fair Market Allowance (as defined in Exhibit H ), as determined by Landlord, which Tenant may apply toward Tenant’s leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Premises. All costs of such leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant. Such leasehold improvements will be performed by Tenant, and such allowance will be disbursed by Landlord, subject and pursuant to Landlord’s then standard form of work letter under which Tenant performs the work using an allowance, which work letter will be prepared by Landlord and substantially comparable to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D (excluding the Additional Allowance, and except that Tenant’s work will not include common area improvements). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 44, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the renewed Premises in “as-is” condition as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 44, Landlord will have no additional obligation to improve, renovate or remodel the Premises or any portion of the Building or provide any allowance therefor as a result of Tenant’s exercise of its Renewal Option.

(c)    In order to exercise its first Renewal Option, Tenant must first deliver an initial nonbinding notice to Landlord no later than 45 days before, and no earlier than 120 days before, the applicable Renewal Exercise Deadline (defined below), in which Tenant expresses its intention to exercise or interest in exercising such Renewal Option and requesting Landlord's determination of Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance. Within 30 days thereafter, Landlord will notify Tenant (“ Landlord’s Renewal Notice ”) of Landlord’s calculation of the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance for the Premises, which calculation will reflect the market rate that would be payable per annum for a term commencing on the first day of the first Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to give its initial nonbinding notice when due as provided in this Section 44(c), then both Renewal Options will be null and void. For purposes hereof, the “ Renewal Exercise Deadline ” for the first Renewal Option means the date that is 12 months before the Expiration Date of the initial Term; and for the second Renewal Option means the date that is 12 months before the Expiration Date of the first Renewal Term.

(d)    If Tenant exercises its first Renewal Option, then Tenant will have the second Renewal Option as described above. In order to exercise its second Renewal Option, Tenant must first deliver an initial nonbinding notice to Landlord no later than 45 days before, and no earlier than 120 days before, the applicable Renewal Exercise Deadline (defined above), in which Tenant expresses its intention to exercise or interest in exercising such Renewal Option and requesting Landlord's determination of Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance. Within 30 days thereafter, Landlord will deliver Landlord’s Renewal Notice setting forth Landlord’s calculation of the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance for the Premises, which calculation will reflect the market rate that would be payable per annum for a term commencing on the first day of second Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to give its initial nonbinding notice when due as provided in this Section 44(d), then Tenant’s second Renewal Option will be null and void.

(e)    On or before the Renewal Exercise Deadline, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a final binding notice in which Tenant (i) elects to renew the Lease and accepts the terms stated in Landlord’s Renewal Notice, or (ii) declines to renew the Term, in which case Tenant’s rights under this Section 44 will be null and void. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord by the Renewal Exercise Deadline (after having given its initial nonbinding notice within the required time), time being of the essence, then Tenant will conclusively be deemed to have elected not to renew the Lease, in which event Tenant’s rights under this Section 44 will be null and void.

(f)    After Tenant delivers Tenant’s binding notice exercising a Renewal Option, Landlord will deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease reflecting the terms of the renewal, and Tenant will execute such amendment and deliver it to Landlord within 30 days after receipt. However, Landlord's failure to prepare and deliver such amendment, or Landlord's or Tenant's failure or refusal to execute and deliver such amendment, will not affect the validity or enforceability of Tenant's exercise of a Renewal Option. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s exercise notices.

(g)    Tenant’s right to exercise its Renewal Option this Lease pursuant to this Section is subject to the following conditions: (i) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its Renewal Option, and at the commencement of the Renewal Term, no Event of Default exists; (ii) that Tenant has not assigned the Lease (other than to Permitted Transferees); and (iii) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its Renewal Option, Tenant and its Permitted Transferees occupy at least 50% of the Premises. Each of the foregoing conditions is waivable by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

45.      Short-Term Renewal Option.
Subject to the provisions set forth below, the Term may be renewed, at the option of Tenant (the “ Short-Term Renewal Option ”), for one (1) additional period of one, two, or three calendar months, as selected by Tenant (the " Short Renewal Term ") beyond the expiration of the initial Lease Term or any Renewal Term (as defined in Section 44 ). The Short Renewal Term will be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease, excluding the provisions of Sections 40 (Allowance Offset), 42 (Hewitt Second Amendment), 43 (Right of First Offer), and 44 (Option to Renew), of the Lease and excluding the Work Letter, and except for the amount of Base Rent payable during the Short Renewal Term. Any reference in the Lease to the "Term" will be deemed to include the Short Renewal Term and apply thereto (if and to the extent that Tenant has exercised such short-term renewal option), unless it is expressly provided otherwise. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises in "as-is" condition as of the commencement of the Short Renewal Term, it being understood that Landlord will have no obligation to renovate or remodel the Premises or any portion of the Building as a result of Tenant's renewal of the Lease. Tenant will have no renewal option beyond the aforesaid 1, 2, or 3 calendar month period, except as otherwise provided in Section 44.

(a)    The Base Rent during the Short Renewal Term for the Premises will be at a rate equal to 102.75% of the Base Rent rate per rentable square foot in effect immediately before the first day of the Short Renewal Term. Tenant's obligation to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expenses pursuant to this Lease will continue during the Short Renewal Term. Tenant’s obligation to pay any Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization pursuant to Section 46 will continue during the Short Renewal Term.

(b)    Such option to renew will be exercised by Tenant by delivering a written notice to Landlord no later than 12 months before the last day of the initial Term or the applicable Renewal Term (as defined in Section 44), in which Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects to exercise the option set forth in this Section 45, and the duration of the Short Renewal Term (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 calendar months). If Tenant fails to give its notice of exercise of the renewal option set forth in this Section 45, when due as provided in this Section 45, time being of the essence, Tenant will irrevocably be deemed to have waived such option to renew.

(c)    Tenant’s right to exercise its short-term renewal option pursuant to this Section is subject to the following conditions: (i) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its short-term renewal option, no Event of Default exists; (ii) that Tenant has not assigned the Lease (other than to Permitted Transferees); and (iii) Tenant may not exercise this option in connection with the initial Term if Tenant has exercised the first Renewal Option pursuant to Section 44, Tenant may not exercise this option in connection with an extension of the First Renewal Term if Tenant has exercised the second Renewal Option pursuant to Section 44, and Tenant may not exercise any Renewal Option set forth in Section 44 if Tenant has exercised the short term renewal option set forth in this Section 45. Each of the foregoing conditions is waivable by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

46.      Existing Generator.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord owns an existing generator located in the east wing of the lower level of the Building adjacent to the switchgear room (the “ Existing Generator ”). During the Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use, solely for emergency back-up power, a portion of the Existing Generator’s capacity. The load or potential load to be placed on the Existing Generator by Tenant will be subject to Landlord’s approval in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. The parties acknowledge that the primary use of the Existing Generator during the Term will be to continue to provide backup power to the Building’s life safety systems, including any multi-tenant floors. Tenant’s load on such Existing Generator must not interfere with such primary purpose. All costs associated with Tenant’s use of the Existing Generator, including additional equipment, installation of Tenant equipment, electricity and maintenance and repairs necessitated by Tenant’s use, shall be paid by Tenant within 30 days after Landlord delivers to Tenant an invoice therefor from time to time. In addition, notwithstanding such shared use of the Existing Generator, Tenant shall pay 100% of all costs, excluding Existing Generator Replacement Costs (defined below), incurred by Landlord for the operation, maintenance, repair, testing, replacement of filters and components, fueling, labor and equipment therefor, including all applicable utility charges (collectively, “ Existing Generator Costs ”), with respect to the Existing Generator within 30 days after Landlord delivers to Tenant an invoice therefor from time to time. If Landlord reasonably determines that the Existing Generator has reached the end of its useful life and repair of the Existing Generator is not economically feasible, and Landlord elects to replace the Existing Generator, then the total costs of such replacement (including, without limitation, purchase, installation of the replacement generator, and removal of Existing Generator) (“ Existing Generator Replacement Costs ”) will be amortized, with interest at 8% per annum, over the number of months in the useful life of the replacement generator, as reasonably estimated by Landlord in accordance with GAAP (the “ Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization ”), from the installation date. In such event, Tenant will pay to Landlord, beginning upon such installation, the Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization on the first day of each month as additional rent, without demand or notice, and Tenant will continue to pay such Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization monthly until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Existing Generator Replacement Costs are fully amortized (i.e., through the expiration date of the originally estimated useful life of the replacement generator) and (ii) the date on which this Lease expires without being renewed or extended. Accordingly, if such Existing Generator Replacement Costs are incurred during the initial Term but such costs have not been fully amortized by the expiration of the initial Term, and if the Term is renewed (whether by exercise of a Renewal Option, Short-Term Renewal Option, or otherwise), Tenant will continue to pay such Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization through such renewal or extension term or terms until such Existing Generator Replacement Costs are fully amortized or until this Lease expires without being renewed or extended. However, if this Lease expires (without being renewed or extended) before such Existing Generator Replacement Costs are fully amortized, Tenant will not be responsible or liable for the Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization accruing after such final expiration of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Existing Generator Costs or Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization will not be terminated, diminished, or affected in the event that Tenant elects to diminish or discontinue its use of the Existing Generator or its replacement.

Tenant accepts the Existing Generator in its current condition on an “ AS-IS ” basis with all faults, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF WHATSOEVER NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IT BEING THE INTENTION OF LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY TO NEGATE AND EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WARRANTIES CREATED BY ANY AFFIRMATION OF FACT OR PROMISE OR BY ANY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY CONVEYED HEREUNDER, OR BY ANY SAMPLE OR MODEL THEREOF, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER CONTAINED IN OR CREATED BY THE UNIFORM COMMERCE CODE, AS ADOPTED IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED . Landlord shall maintain the Existing Generator but will not be liable for service interruptions or failures. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove all equipment attached or connected by Tenant to the Existing Generator and shall restore any damage caused by the removal of Tenant’s equipment from the Existing Generator. In addition, Tenant shall repair all damage caused by the abuse of the Existing Generator or the willful misconduct with respect thereto by any Tenant Party. If Tenant fails to do so within 30 days after Landlord’s written request, Landlord may perform such work and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith within 30 days after Landlord’s written request therefor.

47.      New Emergency Power System.
Landlord agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 47, Tenant will have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install a diesel or natural gas backup generator, and an enclosure around such equipment (the “ Emergency Power System ”) on the exterior of the Premises, in a location designated by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Landlord may permit other tenants to install separate generators on the Land but will not authorize any other tenant to tap into the Emergency Power System installed by Tenant. The following terms and conditions will apply to the Emergency Power System:

(a)    The Emergency Power System must comply, and Tenant will at Tenant’s cost cause the same to be and to remain in compliance, with all Laws.

(b)    The Emergency Power System must comply, and Tenant will at Tenant’s cost cause the same to be and to remain in compliance, with all applicable insurance requirements of both Landlord’s insurer and Tenant’s insurer. The insurance provisions of Sections 21(b) and 21(c) will apply to the Emergency Power System.

(c)    Tenant will, at its sole expense, repair and maintain, and replace as necessary, the Emergency Power System in good condition at all times during the Term.

(d)    If Landlord becomes aware that the Emergency Power System is in violation of this Article, Landlord will so notify Tenant. If Tenant becomes aware, whether by notice from Landlord or otherwise, that the Emergency Power System is in violation of this Section 48, Tenant will promptly correct such violation.

(e)    Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon expiration or termination of Tenant’s right to the Emergency Power System, Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Emergency Power System, and repair and restore any damage caused by its installation or removal, including, without limitation, restoration of the Building and surrounding area to an architectural and aesthetic whole. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(f)    Tenant will pay all costs and expenses of operation and maintenance of the Emergency Power System. If any such costs are invoiced to Landlord, such costs will become additional rent and will be due promptly upon invoice therefor from Landlord. Tenant will pay Landlord, as additional rent, all additional expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of the Tenant’s operation of the Emergency Power System.

(g)    Landlord may impose such other reasonable requirements and restrictions with respect to the Emergency Power System at such time as Tenant submits its plans for the Emergency Power System, and Landlord may impose such additional reasonable requirements and restrictions with respect to the Emergency Power System at any time thereafter so long as such additional requirements and restrictions imposed thereafter do not unreasonably impede the operation and utility of the Emergency Power System and do not unreasonably cause Tenant to incur any additional material cost or expense.

(h)    The Emergency Power System must not clash with and must be harmonious with the Building color scheme, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(i)    The design of the Emergency Power System must be consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(j)    The Emergency Power System must be screened or fenced off in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, using materials consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(k)    The size of the Emergency Power System may not unreasonably and adversely impact the Building’s parking amenities and access, in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment.

(l)    All aspects of the installation of the Emergency Power System will be subject to Landlord’s review and reasonable approval. Without limiting the foregoing, any fuel tanks for the Emergency Power System must be above-ground, not underground.
 
(m)    Before installing the Emergency Power System, Tenant must prepare and deliver to Landlord the following, which will be subject to Landlord’s approval:

Preliminary drawings of the Emergency Power System in the location designated by Landlord;

A list of all colors, materials, and finishes that will be used; and

Samples of any material to be used in screening or fencing off the Emergency Power System, if Landlord so requests.

Incomplete drawings will be returned to Tenant without approval.

(n)     Tenant will be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining and maintaining during the Lease Term all applications, permits, consents, approvals and licenses required by federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and by The Lincolnshire Corporate Center Association, and any other applicable property association to which the Building may be subject, in connection with the Emergency Power System. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in obtaining such approvals, but Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith. Copies of all permits and licenses must be delivered to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s inability or failure to obtain any such permits, approvals or licenses, or the expiration or cancellation of the same, and the resulting inability of Tenant to install or maintain the Emergency Power System, will not invalidate this Lease or reduce Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(o)    Landlord is not and will not be obligated to provide a security guard or any other security services for the Emergency Power System. Under no circumstances will Landlord or its managing agent or their respective agents or employees be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims with respect to, (a) any damages, injuries or losses sustained by Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors , resulting from Landlord's failure to provide security or adequate security for the Emergency Power System, or (b) losses or damages due to failure of the Emergency Power System or inadequacy of the location or facilities therefor, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk, or (c) the damages done to the Emergency Power System by any person, and neither will Landlord be required to insure against any such losses. Tenant will follow all rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord with respect thereto. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(p)    Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, demand, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from claims by third parties arising in connection with the Emergency Power System, or any person’s use thereof, or any robbery, theft or burglary relating thereto. Tenant will have the right and obligation to assume the defense of any claim covered by this indemnity on behalf of both itself and the Landlord Parties, and the Landlord Parties may not settle such claim without the consent of Tenant, provided (i) Tenant acknowledges to the Landlord Parties in writing that it is responsible for such claim under the terms of this paragraph and (ii) the lawyers selected by Tenant to handle such defense are reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Parties and such representation does not result in a conflict of interest for such lawyers. The Landlord Parties may participate in the defense of such claim at their own expense unless Tenant is not representing the Landlord Parties in which case the reasonable expense of the Landlord Parties in defending against such claim will be paid by Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(q)    The waivers set forth in Section 14 will apply to the Emergency Power System.

48.      Communication Antennae.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 48 and the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and operate, at Tenant’s sole cost, risk and expense, up to three (3) satellite dishes (or other antennae devices) and related equipment (individually or collectively, as applicable, the “ Communication Antenna ” and collectively the “ Communication Antennae ”) to be used in connection with Tenant’s business in the Premises, provided that Tenant shall have given Landlord at least 30 days' prior written notice of Tenant’s exercise of this right. Tenant agrees that (i) the Communication Antennae shall be designed, installed and operated solely for the purpose of sending and receiving transmissions in connection with the business of Tenant in the Premises, at a location upon the Building (the “ Antenna Premises ”) designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, (ii) the Communication Antennae shall include no more than 3 satellite dishes (or other antennae), (iii) the installation and operation of the Communications Antennae must conform to the Installation Standards attached as Exhibit K , and (iv) Tenant’s installation of the Communication Antennae must conform to and comply with all requirements of any warranty in effect on the roof of the Building. Any such satellite dish included in the Communication Antennae shall have a reflector surface no larger than 30 inches in diameter, and any other type of Communication Antenna must be of comparable size; provided, however, that Landlord will not unreasonably refuse to permit minor modifications to such size limitations in the event that changing technology makes it necessary or appropriate for Tenant to use a different type of receiver or transmitter. Tenant shall be responsible for expenses in connection with the Antenna Premises and the Communication Antennae as provided herein. Tenant agrees that, upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Tenant from Landlord (which notice may be given at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term), Tenant shall relocate the Communication Antennae from the then existing location of the Antenna Premises to any substitute location for the Antenna Premises designated by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, located anywhere on the Building. Tenant shall complete such relocation prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period and upon the expiration of such sixty (60) day period Tenant shall have no further right to use or occupy the prior location for the Antenna Premises and such substitute location designated by Landlord shall be deemed the “Antenna Premises” for all purposes thereafter under this Section 48. Such relocation will be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, if Landlord requires such relocation due to roof repairs or other Building operational reason, but if Landlord requires such relocation to accommodate another tenant’s, licensee’s or other user’s rooftop equipment, then Landlord will reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs in connection with such relocation. If such relocation is at Tenant’s expense as set forth above, then Tenant shall also, at Tenant’s expense, repair all damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance or removal of the Communication Antennae from such prior location for the Antenna Premises. Landlord will not exercise its right to relocate Tenant’s Communication Antennae pursuant to this Section 48 more than once every sixty (60) months, except for roof repairs or other Building operational reason.

(b)    Tenant shall have the reasonable right to access the Antenna Premises and the Communication Antennae for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, testing, improving and removing the Communication Antennae. Prior to any installation, supplementation, improvement, removal, maintenance or other work upon the Communication Antennae, in or about the Antenna Premises or on any other portion of the Building with respect to the Communication Antennae, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof and shall submit to Landlord its plans and specifications for such work. Without limiting any of Landlord’s rights hereunder, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to control access to the Antenna Premises as necessary to prevent access thereto by unauthorized persons or for purposes other than those expressly permitted in this Section 48. Such plans and specifications shall contain such detail and description as Landlord may require. All such work and such plans and specifications shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord. Such approval right of Landlord shall include, without limitation, the right to approve the dimensions, design, placement, installation, technical operating characteristics (including, without limitation, operating frequency, power consumption and mechanical stability) and location of the Communication Antennae. In any event the Communication Antennae shall be concealed from view in such manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and at the sole expense of Tenant, such that the Communication Antennae are not visible from the street level and is not visible from either of the buildings commonly known as One Overlook Point and Two Overlook Point. The designation of the Antenna Premises shall be made in such a way so as to not diminish the rights of the Landlord to provide telecommunication and other services to other tenants of the Building or other users of the Building designated for electromagnetic radiation transmission and reception facilities and related equipment. The Communication Antennae shall be installed, at Tenant’s expense, by a contractor reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(c)    Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for the installation, maintenance, operation, repair, replacement, and removal of the Communication Antennae in accordance herewith, including, without limitation, the cost of all utilities and supplies. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for maintaining in good repair and condition the Antenna Premises. Tenant and its contractor shall have access to the roof, elevators and stairways (upon prior notice to Landlord) to maintain, repair and remove the Communication Antennae as necessary. Tenant shall also be responsible for the costs of design and construction of any modification to the Building required from time to time to accommodate the Communication Antennae. Tenant shall acquire in a timely manner and in any event prior to any installation or modification to the Communication Antennae, all required licenses, permits and approvals of any applicable governmental authority, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If at any time any Communication Antenna is no longer being used or held for future use by Tenant, or upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, or following the date Tenant vacates the Premises, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Communication Antenna and repair all damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance or removal of any such Communication Antenna. The Communication Antennae shall remain the property of Tenant during the entire Lease Term and any renewals thereof.

(d)    Tenant shall install, operate and maintain the Communication Antennae in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations; with the Declaration of Protective Covenants for Lincolnshire Corporate Center (Unit III) applicable to the Building; and with the requirements of Landlord’s communication and other engineering consultants and operators. The reasonable cost to Landlord of such consultants and operators utilized in reviewing any plans or work proposed by Tenant for the Communication Antennae shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon written demand therefor. Tenant understands and agrees that in addition to the Antenna Premises, certain other areas in, on or around the Building or the real property adjacent thereto may also contain, at Landlord’s discretion, other communications equipment and facilities operated and/or maintained by Landlord, Landlord’s Tenants or operators, or other users of such areas permitted by Landlord. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Tenant will not permit the Communication Antennae, or Tenant’s use thereof, to become a nuisance or to interfere with such operations of Landlord, such other users of such areas, or the operations of the Building or the other tenants therein.

(e)    Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord, its mortgagee, property manager, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents (all such persons and entities hereafter collectively called the “ Listed Persons ”), from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of Tenant’s use or access to the Antenna Premises or the installation, maintenance, operation, modification or removal of the Communication Antennae. Tenant shall procure and maintain in full force and effect from the commencement of installation of the Communication Antennae on the Antenna Premises until the expiration of the Lease Term a policy of commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, personal injury, death, or property damage arising from Tenant’s use of or access to the Antenna Premises and the Communication Antennae; such insurance must otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 21.

49.      Cafeteria.
A.     Equipment . The parties acknowledge that the Building has a black iron duct (the “ Existing Black Iron Duct ”). As part of the Tenant Work performed by Tenant pursuant to the Work Letter, Tenant may install and connect its hoods and other appropriate ventilation equipment in the Premises to the Existing Black Iron Duct. Tenant may use any existing kitchen and ventilation equipment in the cafeteria portion of the ground floor Premises on an as-is and with-all-faults basis (the “ Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment ”). However, that Landlord makes no representation or warranty (and hereby disclaims any such representations or warranties, express or implied) with respect to the Existing Black Iron Duct or any such Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment, or that the Existing Black Iron Duct or such Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment is adequate for Tenant’s use. Tenant’s use of the Existing Black Iron Duct and any such Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment will be at Tenant’s sole risk. Landlord will maintain the Existing Black Iron Duct. Tenant will pay Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs in connection with the repair and maintenance of the Existing Black Iron Duct within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time. Tenant will be solely responsible for repairing, maintaining, and replacing as necessary all equipment installed by Tenant, as well as any Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment which Tenant elects to use or retain.

Tenant agrees to permit no odors to be dispelled from the Premises. If Landlord reasonably determines that odors are being dispelled or emitted from the Premises, Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord in Landlord’s efforts to identify the reason or reasons such odors are escaping and, if Landlord so elects, Landlord’s repairs, modifications, or upgrades to the ventilation system serving the ground floor Premises. Tenant will pay Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs in connection with the repair, modifications, or upgrades to such ventilation system within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time. Tenant will at all times keep Tenant’s equipment in the Premises, and any Existing Kitchen and Ventilation Equipment which Tenant elects to use or retain, in good condition and repair, and Tenant will at all times run its business in a reasonable manner including, without limitation, using, operating, maintaining, and repairing its equipment in accordance with design specifications. Tenant will, at Tenant’s cost and subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), install such screens, hoods, filters, and other equipment (but excluding pollution control systems, so-called “scrubbers,” or HVAC upgrades) as are reasonably necessary so as to prevent the discharge of smoke, odors, vapors and steam into the Building and to avoid the likelihood that such smoke, odors, vapors and steam will be directed to or carry to the Building or any part of the Building leased by others, as well as to minimize grease buildup in the Existing Black Iron Duct. Landlord shall not by its approval of the location, construction or appearance of any of such Tenant’s systems or equipment in the Premises be deemed to have represented that such systems are adequate or that the same comply with any applicable law, ordinance or regulation, nor shall such approval be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the right to require that Tenant modify such systems or facilities or add other or additional such systems or facilities in order to prevent the discharge of smoke, odors, vapors and steam into the Building or any part of the Building leased to others or to avoid such smoke, odors, vapors and steam being directed to or carried to the Building or any part of the Building leased to others.

Tenant will be responsible, at its cost, for purchasing, installing and maintaining such fire prevention and/or extinguishment facilities or systems as may be reasonably required from time to time in view of Tenant’s methods and volume of cooking and other food and beverage preparation.

The Building currently has a grease collection system (the “ Existing Grease Collection System ”). However, that Landlord makes no representation or warranty (and hereby disclaims any such representations or warranties, express or implied) with respect to the Existing Grease Collection System, or that the Existing Grease Collection System is adequate for Tenant’s use. Tenant’s use of the Existing Grease Collection System will be at Tenant’s sole risk. Landlord will maintain the Existing Grease Collection System. Tenant will pay Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs in connection with the repair and maintenance of the Existing Grease Collection System within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to opening the Premises for business, and at all times thereafter during the Term, provide the necessary piping and connections to connect to such Existing Grease Collection System. Tenant shall not dispose of waste grease, oil or other materials which tend to cause clogging or blockage of pipes and drains (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ grease ”) by pouring or permitting the same to flow into any drains or pipes. In the event that Tenant shall do so, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of cleaning of all drains, pipes, sewers or other waste liquid disposal facilities damaged thereby plus an administrative charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost thereof. For this purpose, the term “cleaning” shall be deemed to include the replacement of all or any portion of the waste liquid disposal facilities necessitated by Tenant’s improper disposal of grease.

Tenant shall regularly and adequately clean or provide for the cleaning of all exhaust and venting systems serving the Premises (including, without limitation, those installed by Tenant, and any which may exist in the Premises as of the date of this Lease), excluding the Existing Black Iron Duct to be maintained by Landlord. This cleaning shall include degreasing of all hoods, fans, vents, pipes, flues, and other areas of such systems subject to grease buildup. Tenant shall not use any chemicals or other cleaning methods which could damage the drain pipes or other portions of the drainage and/or sewer systems in the Premises or the Building or serving the Building.

B. Extermination. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage professional exterminators to service the Premises, including but not limited to all food preparation and food storage areas, at such frequency and to the extent necessary to keep the Premises free of insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and to prevent insects, rodents, vermin and other pests from the Premises infesting spaces in the Building or any part of the Building leased to others. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, upon demand, reasonable proof that Tenant is causing such exterminating to be regularly performed. In the event that Tenant shall refuse or fail to have such exterminating regularly performed, then Landlord may arrange for such work to be done, and Tenant shall pay the entire cost thereof plus an administrative charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s stock in trade or business by reason thereof, including but not limited to any loss of revenues resulting from any required limitation or cessation of Tenant’s operation of the Cafeteria while such extermination is performed or as a result thereof. Landlord’s arranging for such extermination shall not release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations hereunder nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default for the failure to have such extermination performed.

C. Equipment. All equipment installed or used by Tenant in the Premises shall be properly installed and, where necessary, with adequate electrical wiring conformity with the recommendations of the manufacturers thereof and with all applicable codes and ordinances. No equipment shall be used by Tenant in the Premises unless and until such equipment and the installation thereof has been inspected and approved by the departments or bureaus of the Village of Lincolnshire and other governmental authorities having jurisdiction and unless, until and only for so long as all necessary permits and authorizations for the use and/or operation thereof have been obtained by Tenant from such authorities at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

D. Deliveries. Because of the unique nature of Tenant’s business, Tenant agrees that

i. it will require that all purveyors with whom Tenant does business adequately and securely package all goods and merchandise so as to prevent any leaking, spilling, spoilage, odors or infestation;

ii. if any leaking or spilling shall occur or if any of goods and merchandise shall fall out of any containers or packages, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall immediately cause the same to be cleaned and removed and restore any damage to the Building that may result therefrom; and

iii. it will immediately transfer all goods and merchandise received to the Premises and properly store the same in the Premises so as to retard any spoilage thereof, to prevent any odors emanating therefrom and to prevent the infestation thereof; and

E. Trash Removal. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall store all food trash and other waste from the Cafeteria in the Premises in odor and vermin proof containers, such containers to be kept in areas not visible to members of the public. Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, attend to the frequent disposal of such materials to Landlord’s trash compactor at the loading dock; provided, however, that Tenant must first double-bag all such food trash and other waste from the Cafeteria. So long as Tenant operates the Cafeteria, Landlord’s costs of emptying such compactor, plus any costs incurred by Landlord for washing or deodorizing such compactor and the area in which the compactor is located, will be charged to Tenant (rather than included in Expenses), and Tenant will pay such expenses within 30 days after receipt of invoice from time to time. If Landlord reasonably determines that such food trash and other waste from the Cafeteria in the Building’s trash compactor is causing odor or sanitation problems, Landlord may impose such additional or alternative measures as Landlord reasonably deems necessary, such as, without limitation, emptying the Building’s trash compactor more frequently than otherwise would be necessary due to such food trash and other waste from the Cafeteria, with the costs of such additional waste management service being charged to Tenant; or requiring Tenant to arrange for a separate dumpster or trash compactor for Tenant’s food trash and other waste from the Cafeteria at Tenant’s cost; or the installation or performance of additional ventilation or deodorizing equipment or measures, at Tenant’s cost. In addition, Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord’s reasonable requirements concerning Tenant’s disposal of grease and oil generated or used in connection with the Cafeteria.

The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder in accordance with Section 2.2 . In connection with each acquisition of Receivables hereunder, the Buyer may request that the Originator deliver, and the Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as the Buyer may reasonably request.
All additional Sold Assets with respect to each Purchased Receivable conveyed hereunder shall be transferred at the same time as such Purchased Receivable, whether such Sold Assets exist at such time or arise or are acquired or otherwise arise thereafter.
Section 2.2.    Payment for the Purchases     . (a) The Receivables of the Originator in existence on the Initial Conveyance Date are hereby sold (or contributed, as applicable) and assigned to the Buyer by the Originator on the date hereof. Each Receivable of the Originator coming into existence after the Initial Conveyance Date, shall be sold or contributed to the Buyer on the Business Day occurring immediately after the day such Receivable is originated and the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the Originator on such Business Day (except that the Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to the Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b) and (c).
(b)    With respect to any Receivables sold by the Originator hereunder after the date hereof, on the first Business Day after such Receivable is originated, such Receivable shall be sold to Buyer and on such date of Purchase, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to the Originator in accordance with Section 2.2(c) and by delivery of immediately available funds to the extent of funds available to Buyer (i) from monies then held by or on behalf of the Buyer, (ii) by an increase in the capital of the Originator in the Buyer, or (iii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii).

Section 2.3.    No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations     .

The Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or other absolute conveyances of the Purchased Receivables and other Sold Assets by the Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets (such that the Sold Assets would not be property of the Originator’s estate in the event of the Originator’s bankruptcy). If, however, despite the intention of the parties, the conveyances provided for in this Agreement are determined not to be “true sales” or other absolute conveyances of Receivables and the other Sold Assets from the Originator to the Buyer, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and the Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such Purchased Receivables and the other Sold Assets, now existing and hereafter created, to secure a loan in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase prices therefor and each of the Originator’s other payment obligations under this Agreement.
The Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable other than payment of the Purchase Price therefor, nor shall the Buyer have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of the Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Originator or the Servicer under any Receivable).
In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each sale of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a true sale of such Receivables rather than a loan secured thereby, the Originator agrees that it has marked, or will mark prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement , in accordance with Section 5.1(l), its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that the Buyer has acquired such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and that it will note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer. Upon the request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee), the Originator will execute (if required) and file or authorize the filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security, Collections and other Sold Assets with respect thereto, or as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

(iii)    the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of the Originator to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(iv)    the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is less than the amount specified in any report delivered by the Originator to the Buyer (for any reason other than receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

If such credit to the Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by the Originator on such date or if the Buyer is required to make any payment pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement and does not have sufficient funds to do so, then the Originator shall pay the full or remaining amount of such credit, as applicable, by making a deposit in the Lockbox Account specified by the Buyer, in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days after the Originator has received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Originator has knowledge of such event. Any payment of the Outstanding Balance as contemplated by clause (B) above shall be considered a repurchase of such Receivable by the Originator and the Buyer shall transfer any interest it has in such Receivable to the Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claims arising by, through or under the Buyer and the transfer shall be noted on the books and records of the Originator as of the date thereof.
Section 3.3.    Application of Collections     . Any payment made by an Obligor that is not specified by such Obligor to relate to a particular invoice or other obligation of such Obligor shall, unless otherwise required by the related contracts or law, be applied, first, as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Receivables, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor to the Originator.
Section 3.4.    Responsibilities of the Originator     . Subject to the Servicer’s rights and responsibilities under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables to the same extent as if interests in the Receivables had not been transferred hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s, Buyer’s or any Secured Party’s exercise of any rights hereunder or under the Receivables Financing Agreement shall not relieve the Originator from such obligations. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Buyer, nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to perform any obligation of the Originator in connection with the Receivables.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (I) any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03 ) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and (II) the excess, if any of the amount of (A) any U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise Taxes payable by such Affected Person with respect to payments received by such Affected Person under this Agreement as a result of a Governmental Authority successfully challenging the Intended Tax Treatment of a Loan over (B) U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise Taxes that would have been payable by such Affected Person with respect to such payments described in clause (A) if such Loan were treated in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment, provided that the amount described in this clause (II), if applicable, shall be increased to take into account the taxability of receipt of payments under this clause (II) ). A certificate that states the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) together with all backup information and documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Borrower and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Credit Party that is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Credit Party becomes a party hereto (and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑9 certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)    any Credit Party that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “ Foreign Credit Party ”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or about the date on which such Foreign Credit Party becomes a Credit Party with respect to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(C)    any Foreign Credit Party, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or about the date on which such Foreign Credit Party becomes a party hereto (and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(g)     Documentation Required by FATCA.

Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)     Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Credit Party or any other Affected person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Borrower Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
(i)     Updates. Each Credit Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(j)     Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Loan under this Agreement as debt (and all Interest as interest) for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.
(k)     Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03 ), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (k) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (k) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (k) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
Section 5.04.    Inability to Determine Euro-Rate; Change in Legality . (a) If any Group Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto absent manifest error) before the first day of any Interest Period (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to Adjusted LIBOR) or on any day (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to LMIR), by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, either that: (i) dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant Interest Period or day, as applicable, are not available, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Interest Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the Euro-Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Group Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Interest Period or day, as applicable, such Group Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower before the first day of any Interest Period (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to Adjusted LIBOR) or on such day (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to LMIR). Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the Euro-Rate unless and until such Group Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the Euro-Rate, the Interest Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Period (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to Adjusted LIBOR) or immediately (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to LMIR).
(b)    If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to Adjusted LIBOR) or on any day (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to LMIR), any Group Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that any Change in Law, or compliance by such Affected Person with any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at or by reference to the Euro-Rate, such Group Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Group Agent notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the Euro-Rate unless and until such Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the Euro-Rate, the Interest Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Period (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to Adjusted LIBOR) or immediately (with respect to the Euro-Rate determined by reference to LMIR).

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If (i) any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01 , (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Group Agent and the Administrative Agent, require such Group Agent to cause the related Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.03 ), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03 ) and obligations under the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which, in the case of a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Affected Person, if a Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or an Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 5.06.    Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts      . (a)      If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01 , or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03 , then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the related Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate (or cause to be assigned and delegated) such Affected Person's rights and obligations hereunder to another office, branch or Affiliate of such Affected Person if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03 , as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person.

An Affected Person shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

(f)     Litigation and Other Proceedings. (i) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, against the Borrower before any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Borrower is not subject to any order, judgment, decree, injunction, stipulation or consent order of or with any Governmental Authority that, in the case of either of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), (A) asserts the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) seeks to prevent the grant of a security interest in any Collateral by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the ownership or acquisition by the Borrower of any Pool Receivables or other Collateral or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (C) seeks any determination or ruling that could materially and adversely affect the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (D) individually or in the aggregate for all such actions, suits, proceedings and investigations could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES    
Section 9.01.    Appointment of the Servicer . (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.01 . Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to Zebra (in accordance with this Section 9.01 ) of the designation of a new Servicer, Zebra is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Zebra or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to payment of all Servicing Fees and reimbursable expenses accrued prior to the date of such termination.
(b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, Zebra agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Zebra shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software reasonably necessary to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c)    Zebra acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Group have relied on Zebra’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Zebra agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, unless Zebra determines based on an opinion of counsel that it is prohibited by Applicable Law from performing its duties as Servicer hereunder.
(d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “ Sub‑Servicer ”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub‑Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub‑Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub‑Servicer) and (v) if such Sub‑Servicer is not an Affiliate of Zebra, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
Section 9.02.    Duties of the Servicer . (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.
(b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the appropriate Person entitled thereto the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Zebra or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Zebra or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon written demand, deliver to the appropriate Person entitled thereto all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 9.03.    Collection Account Arrangements . Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Collection Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.04.    Enforcement Rights . (a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney‑in‑fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney‑in‑fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney‑in‑fact in any manner whatsoever.

THE GROUP AGENTS    
Section 12.01.    Authorization and Action . Each Credit Party that belongs to a Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Group Agent for such Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Group Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Group Agent shall have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against any Group Agent. No Group Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any Lender except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Group Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes such Group Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.
Section 12.02.    Group Agent’s Reliance, Etc . No Group Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Credit Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Section 12.03.    Group Agent and Affiliates . With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by any Credit Party that is also a Group Agent, such Credit Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
Section 12.04.    Indemnification of Group Agents . Each Committed Lender in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Pro Rata Percentage of such Committed Lender to the aggregate Pro Rata Percentages of all Committed Lenders in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 12.05.    Delegation of Duties . Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys‑in‑fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 12.06.    Notice of Events of Default . No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Credit Party, the Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Committed Lenders in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII ), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Lenders and Committed Lenders in its Group.
Section 12.07.    Non‑Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties ‑. Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Credit Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party in its Group with any information concerning the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates.
Section 12.08.    Successor Group Agent . Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Credit Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Lender(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.
Section 12.09.    Reliance on Group Agent . Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Credit Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Credit Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Credit Parties in its Group.

(c)     Register . The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Committed Lenders and the Conduit Lenders, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Conduit Lender and Committed Lender from time to time (the “ Register ”).

Section 14.17.    Severability . Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 14.18.    Mutual Negotiations .
