Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

On Oct 10, 2012, Zebra Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement for a 5-year $250 million revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks led by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as Administrative Agent, with RBS Citizens, N.A as Syndication Agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Documentation Agent. The other banks in the syndicate are Bank of America, N.A., The Northern Trust Company, PNC Bank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. This revolving credit facility has a $150 million expansion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility up to a total of $400 million, subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental increased capacity from existing or new lenders. The loans under the New Credit Agreement will be available for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and for other purposes permitted by the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the New Credit Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the spread over a base rate, which base rate is the greater of (i) the prime rate; (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%); or (iii) an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus one percent (1%). The spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA and ranges from 0.25% to 1.75%. The Company did not make any draw or loan request under the New Credit Agreement at the time of closing.

The New Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including, among others, restrictions on the payment of cash dividends) and events of default (and related remedies, including acceleration and increased interest rates following an event of default). It also contains financial covenants tied to the Company’s leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio.

A copy of the Company’s press release dated October 10, 2012, regarding the New Credit Agreement is attached to this current report as Exhibit 99.1.
