Dear Stockholder:

Please join us for the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We will hold the meeting at 10:30 a.m., Central Time, on Thursday, May 20, 2010, at the Hilton Northbrook, 2855 North Milwaukee Avenue, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.

At this year’s meeting we will elect two directors, consider ratifying the selection of our independent auditors, and report on our business. Our Annual Report to Stockholders for 2009 accompanies these proxy materials.

By all accounts, 2009 was filled with challenges, as the global economic crisis extended into much of the year. By recognizing the downturn early, we were able to position Zebra for improving performance as business conditions improved. Our financial strength enabled us to maintain investments in those activities that have positioned Zebra for greater stockholder value creation. We completed important strategic initiatives, such as outsourcing printer manufacturing to a third party. Early this year, we also began extending Zebra’s geographic reach by placing more Zebra sales associates in emerging high-growth regions, as well as developing distinctly superior products and solutions to serve more of our customers’ asset tracking and supply chain management needs. These actions, which set Zebra further apart from the competition, were recognized by investors, as our stock price increased 40% in 2009, well above most broad stock market measures.

Your vote on the matters to be considered at the annual meeting is important, regardless of the size of your holdings. You may vote by marking, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided. Also, most registered and most beneficial stockholders may vote by toll-free telephone in the U.S. or Canada, or over the Internet by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. We urge you to vote your shares as soon as possible. In this way, you can ensure your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, and you will spare Zebra the expense of a follow-up mailing. Even if you vote before the meeting you may still attend the meeting and vote in person.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Smith	Anders Gustafsson

General Information

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Zebra’s Board of Directors for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We will hold the annual meeting at 10:30 a.m., Central Time, on Thursday, May 20, 2010, at the Hilton Northbrook, 2855 North Milwaukee Avenue, Northbrook, Illinois 60062. For directions to attend the meeting in person, please call the Hilton Northbrook (847-480-7500) or go to http://www1.hilton.com/enUS/hi/hotel/CHINBHF-Hilton-Northbrook-Illinois/index.do.

We mailed this proxy statement and proxy card to stockholders on or about April 15, 2010.

Voting Information

Record Date
You may vote all shares that you owned as of the close of business on March 30, 2010, which is the record date for the annual meeting. On March 30, 2010, we had 57,693,459 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the meeting.

Ownership of Shares
You may own shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, which includes shares for which you have certificates. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of those shares, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the meeting.

You may also own shares indirectly through a broker, bank or other holder of record, which includes shares in the Zebra Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). If you hold your shares indirectly, you hold the shares in “street name” and are a beneficial holder, and your broker, bank or other holder of record sent these proxy materials to you. As a beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by completing a voting instruction form.

Electronic Access to Proxy Materials and Annual Report
For holders of record, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to receive stockholder communications electronically. By signing up for electronic delivery of documents such as our annual report and the proxy statement, you can access stockholder communications as soon as they are available without waiting for them to arrive in the mail, and submit your stockholder votes online. Holders of record can also reduce the number of documents in their personal files, eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and help reduce our printing and mailing costs. If you are a holder of record and would like to receive stockholder communications electronically in the future, please contact BNY Mellon Shareowner Services at 877-870-2368 or 201-680-6578. Enrollment will be effective until canceled.

Beneficial holders should refer to the information provided by the broker, bank or other institution that is the holder of record for instructions on how to elect to receive proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet. Most stockholders who hold their stock through a broker, bank or other holder of record and who have electronic access will receive an e-mail message containing the Internet address to use to access our proxy statement and annual report.

How to Vote
Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote promptly, which may save us the expense of a second mailing.

If you are a holder of record, you may vote your shares in any of the following ways:

by telephone – If you are located in the U.S. or Canada, you may vote your shares by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. You may vote by telephone 24 hours a day through 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 19 2010. The telephone voting system has easy-to-follow instructions and allows you to confirm that the system has properly recorded your vote. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card.
over the Internet – You may vote your shares via the website http://www.proxyvote.com. You may vote over the Internet 24 hours a day through 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, May 19, 2010. As with telephone voting, you may confirm that the system has properly recorded your vote. If you vote over the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. You may incur costs such as telephone and Internet access charges if you vote over the Internet.

by mail – You may vote your shares by marking, dating and signing your proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
in person at the annual meeting – If you choose not to vote by telephone, over the Internet or by mail, you may still attend the meeting and vote in person. If you vote prior to the meeting, you may still attend the meeting and vote in person.

If you are a beneficial holder, the instructions that accompany your proxy materials will indicate whether you may vote by telephone, over the Internet or by mail. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your broker or other nominee.

Our Board has appointed Anders Gustafsson and Jim Kaput to serve as the proxy committee for the meeting. Mr. Gustafsson is a director and the Chief Executive Officer of Zebra. Mr. Kaput is Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Zebra. By giving us your proxy, you are authorizing the proxy committee to vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may (1) vote “FOR” the election of all of our director nominees, (2) “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” to vote for all of our director nominees, or (3) vote for the election of less than all of our director nominees and withhold authority to vote for our other nominees. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2010.

All shares that have been properly voted by proxy and not revoked will be voted at the meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card without any voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR”:

the election of each of our nominees for director; and
ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2010.

Broker voting rules prohibit brokers from voting on the proposal to elect directors without receiving instructions from holders in street name. In the absence of instructions, shares subject to such “broker non-votes” will not be counted as voted or as present or represented on the proposal.

Revocation of Proxies
If you are the holder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted if you (1) submit a written revocation to our Secretary, (2) submit a later-dated proxy to our Secretary, (3) provide subsequent telephone or Internet voting instructions, or (4) vote in person at the meeting.

Shares held under Zebra’s 401(k) Plan
If you participate in Zebra’s 401(k) Plan, you will receive a proxy card that covers the number of shares that the plan has credited to your account under the 401(k) Plan. To allow sufficient time for the 401(k) Plan trustee to vote, the trustee must receive your voting instructions by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, May 17, 2010. If the 401(k) Plan trustee does not receive your instructions by that date, your shares will be voted consistent with the majority of votes received.

Quorum
A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. If stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Shares owned by Zebra are not voted and do not count for quorum purposes. To assure the presence of a quorum at the meeting, please vote your shares by toll-free telephone or over the Internet or complete, sign and date our proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, even if you plan to attend the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted toward the establishment of a quorum.

Vote Required for Proposals
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the two nominees for Class II Directors with the most votes will be elected. As a result, withholding authority to vote for a nominee and non-votes, including broker non-votes, in the election of directors will not affect the outcome of the election of directors. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for 2010 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on that proposal. Under Zebra’s by-laws, abstentions with respect to this proposal will not affect the outcome. Non-votes as to a proposal will not be considered as votes cast on the proposal.

Cost of Proxy Solicitation
We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers or employees may solicit proxies for us in person, or by telephone, facsimile or electronic transmission.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Guidelines
Zebra’s primary objective is to maximize stockholder value over the long term. Our Board of Directors believes that sound governance practices and policies provide an important framework to assist the Board in fulfilling its duty to stockholders. The Board reviews Zebra’s Corporate Governance Guidelines from time to time and modifies the Guidelines to reflect sound corporate governance policies and practices. A copy of our Guidelines is available on Zebra’s website at http://www.zebra.com under “About Zebra-Corporate Governance.”

Director Candidates
The Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to serve as directors, recommending candidates, and assisting the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to the governance of Zebra.

Consideration of Board candidates typically involves a series of internal discussions, review of the qualifications of candidates, and interviews with selected candidates. In general, candidates for nomination to the Board are suggested by Board members or by management. The Committee has also utilized the services of a search firm to identify director candidates. The Committee will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. The Committee does not evaluate proposed candidates differently based on the source of the proposal. A stockholder seeking to recommend a prospective nominee for the Committee’s consideration should submit the candidate’s name and qualifications to Zebra’s Corporate Secretary at the following address: 475 Half Day Road, Suite 500, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069. The Committee did not receive any stockholder suggestions for director candidates to be considered for election to the Board at the 2010 annual meeting. Stockholders who wish to nominate a director for election at an annual meeting of stockholders of Zebra must comply with our By-Laws regarding stockholder proposals and nominations.

The Committee considers a diverse set of criteria when evaluating Board candidates. The Committee believes that Board candidates must exhibit certain minimum characteristics: good business judgment and an even temperament, high ethical standards, and a healthy view of the relative responsibilities of a board member and management. Board members should be independent thinkers, articulate and intelligent. The Committee’s Charter also sets forth other criteria that the Committee considers important, including experience as a board member of another publicly traded company, experience in industries or with technologies relevant to Zebra, accounting and financial reporting experience, meeting the independence standards for directors established by NASDAQ and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and race, gender, and ethnicity of a candidate to support diversity. Finally, with respect to directors who may be nominated for re-election, the Committee may consider criteria such as whether the director represents stockholder interests in deliberations before the Board, regular attendance at meetings, effective preparation for meetings, and communication skills. Each year the Committee reviews the performance of current directors whose terms will expire at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, as well as the qualifications of any candidates for election to the Board.

Independence
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and NASDAQ listing standards, a majority of our directors must be independent. Under NASDAQ listing standards, a director does not qualify as independent unless the board affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. NASDAQ listing standards also provide that a director is not independent if (1) the director has been employed by Zebra in the last three years; (2) the director or an immediate family member has received, during any 12-month period in the last three years, more than $120,000 in compensation from Zebra (other than director and committee fees and pensions or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service); (3) an immediate family member has been employed as an executive officer of Zebra in the last three years; (4) the director or an immediate family member is a partner, controlling stockholder, or an executive officer of an organization to which Zebra made, or from which Zebra received, payments for property or services in any of the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 that exceed the greater of 5% of the recipient's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000; (5) the director or an immediate family member is employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any Zebra executive officer served (or serves) on the compensation committee of the other entity; or (6) the director or an immediate family member is a partner of a Zebra’s independent auditor or the director or an immediate family member was a partner or employee of Zebra’s independent auditor who worked on Zebra’s audit in 2007, 2008 or 2009.

In February 2010, the Nominating Committee reviewed the independence of all directors and reported to the Board. The Board determined that each of Richard Keyser, Andrew Ludwick, Ross Manire, Robert Potter, and Michael Smith has no relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each director, except Anders Gustafsson, our Chief Executive Officer, and Gerhard Cless, our Executive Vice President, is independent under NASDAQ listing standards. The Board also determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements under NASDAQ and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; each member of the Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements under NASDAQ, the non-employee director requirements of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the outside director requirements under the Internal Revenue Code; and each member of the Nominating Committee meets the independence requirements under NASDAQ.

Communications with the Board
A stockholder who would like to contact our Board may do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 475 Half Day Road, Suite 500, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069. Communications received in writing will be distributed to the appropriate members of the Board, depending on the content of the communication received.

Board Structure, Governance and Compliance
Board Leadership Structure. One of the primary functions of a board of directors is to oversee senior management and the conduct of the business of the corporation, including holding the chief executive officer and senior management accountable for performance. Consequently, Zebra’s Board of Directors believes that at least a majority of the Board should be independent from management to provide an objective view and evaluation of management and business performance. The independent members of a board may be led by an independent chairman of the board or, when the roles of the chairman and chief executive officer are combined, by an independent presiding or lead director.

Zebra’s independent directors are led by Michael Smith, who serves as Chairman. Mr. Smith has served as a director since 1991 and as our Chairman since 2007 when our CEO, Anders Gustafsson, joined Zebra as successor to Edward Kaplan, Zebra’s co-founder and former Chairman and CEO. This structure allows Mr. Gustafsson to focus on strategic, operational, and financial matters necessary to operate Zebra’s business while Mr. Smith’s knowledge of, and experience with, Zebra and the operation and history of the Board allow Mr. Smith to provide an independent leadership that reflects his knowledge and experience.

Chairman/Executive Sessions without Management. The Board and its Committees regularly meet in executive session without CEO Anders Gustafsson, Executive Vice President Gerhard Cless or other members of management in attendance. Chairman Michael Smith chairs executive sessions of the Board. Mr. Smith is a non-executive independent director whose duties include advising the CEO of matters discussed in executive sessions, where appropriate, as well as on Board agenda items and information to be provided to the Board.

Committee Charters. Each of the three standing Committees of the Board periodically reviews the adequacy of its Charter, which sets forth the authority of the Committee and its duties and responsibilities. A copy of each Committee Charter is available on Zebra’s website at http://www.zebra.com under “About Zebra-Corporate Governance.”

Limitation of Service on other Boards, Change in Responsibility, and Director Education. Zebra’s policy limits to three the number of other for-profit boards on which a director may serve. In addition, a director who retires from his major non-Zebra employment position, or whose employment materially changes, must volunteer to resign from our Board. The Board then reviews the appropriateness of continuing that director’s service on our Board. Zebra assists the Board by providing orientation for new directors and reimbursing the costs of continuing education programs.

Director Compensation and Stock Ownership. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation of our directors. In November 2009, the Committee conducted a peer group comparison of director compensation. For more information on director compensation, see “Director Compensation.” All directors are expected to hold shares of our common stock having a market value of at least $200,000 within two years of first becoming a director.

Oversight of Risk Management. Primarily through the Audit Committee, our Board is responsible for the oversight of risk management. In that capacity, the Audit Committee receives regular reports from the risk committee comprised of management employees regarding the identification and management of risk in our businesses. In addition, the Compensation Committee is responsible for the oversight of risk related to our compensation policies and practices. Both the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee give regular reports to the Board regarding their oversight roles and the directors regularly discuss significant risks facing Zebra. Management categorizes identified risks as strategic (such as outsourcing of manufacturing, product research and development, brand positioning, marketing and pricing), operational (such as distribution and logistics, and sales), financial (such as tax, accounting, information technology, and liquidity) or legal and compliance (such as governance, international laws and regulations, and litigation) risk. Risks arising out of Zebra’s compensation policies and practices may, depending on the actions or behavior encouraged by a performance or similar goal, be categorized as a strategic, operational, financial or legal and compliance risk. Identified risks that may be controlled are then assessed by management in terms of impact on Zebra and likelihood of occurrence. Some risks, such as general economic conditions, are not controllable by management. Based on its assessment of the risks arising out of Zebra’s compensation policies and practices, management has determined that our policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Zebra. Our risk management approach is intended to be an ongoing process. The goal of risk management is to provide reasonable assurance to our senior management and Board that a controllable risk will not have a material or significant adverse effect on Zebra.

Code of Business Conduct; Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. Zebra has a Code of Business Conduct that applies to directors, officers and employees. We also have a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers that applies to our CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers each address matters such as conflicts of interest, confidentiality, fair dealing and compliance with laws and regulations. Copies of the Code of Business Conduct Code and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available on Zebra’s website at http:/ /www.zebra.com under “About Zebra-Corporate Governance.”

Related-Party Transactions. Zebra has a written related-party transaction policy that may apply to any transaction in which Zebra and any related person are parties. A related person includes our directors and executive officers, their immediate family members, entities in which a director, executive officer or immediate family member is a partner or has a 10% beneficial interest, and a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock. Our General Counsel and Audit Committee administer Zebra’s policy, with General Counsel first assessing whether a proposed transaction is subject to the policy. If the General Counsel determines that a proposed transaction is a related-party transaction, then the Chairman of the Audit Committee or the full Audit Committee will review the proposed transaction to determine if it should be approved.

Compliance Reporting. Zebra maintains a compliance hotline and website for compliance reporting. The compliance hotline and website establish a confidential means for employees or other persons to communicate to management or the Board any concerns that they have regarding accounting, internal controls or audit matters or compliance with laws, regulations, policies or the Code of Business Conduct.

Proposal 1
Election of Directors

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

Our Board of Directors is divided into three separate classes, with one class being elected each year to serve a staggered three-year term. The terms of the Class II Directors expire at the annual meeting, and two directors will be elected to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2013 meeting or until their successors are elected and qualified. Our Nominating Committee has recommended, and our Board has approved, the nomination for election of Gerhard Cless and Michael A. Smith.

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

The Board of Directors recommends a Vote “FOR” the election of Gerhard Cless and Michael Smith to serve as Class II Directors of Zebra.

The following table sets forth information regarding the nominees for Class II Director and remaining directors. Included in this biographical information is information regarding certain of the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are relevant to their service as a director:

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are: Mr. Smith, Chair, and Messrs. Ludwick and Manire.

The Audit Committee received reports from and met and held discussions with management, the internal auditors and the independent accountants.

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

The Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited financial statements of Zebra in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC. This recommendation was based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management, internal auditors and Zebra’s independent accountants, as well as the Committee’s reliance on management’s representation described above.

Proposal 2
Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee appointed Ernst & Young LLP, independent certified public accountants, as auditors of Zebra’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The Board wants to give stockholders the opportunity to express their opinions on the matter of auditors for Zebra, and, accordingly, is submitting a proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young. If this proposal does not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, the Audit Committee may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm or may decide to maintain the appointment of Ernst & Young.

Zebra expects that representatives of Ernst & Young will be present at the meeting and available to respond to questions. These representatives will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they would like to do so.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee recommend a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our Total Compensation Philosophy
Zebra’s total compensation program is designed to facilitate the alignment of our business strategy with enhanced stockholder value. Created with all employees in mind, our total compensation program contains features to attract the best employees, keep them engaged and motivated, and reward them for achieving or exceeding desired results. In summary, the objectives of our total compensation program are to:

Increase stockholder value through stock price growth and other financial measures;
Facilitate the delivery of the highest quality of goods and services to our customers;
Encourage our employees to take actions that balance short-term achievements with long-term success; and
Attract, retain, motivate and reward the highest performing employees who contribute to our success.

Role of Our Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee (“the Committee”) assists the Board with its responsibilities regarding the total compensation of our executive officers and directors by overseeing our compensation and benefit programs. The Committee fulfills its responsibility by:

Reviewing our compensation philosophy annually to ensure the compensation components align with the objectives of our total compensation philosophy;
Seeking the counsel of advisors, such as that of a compensation consultant and our management team, for input and guidance;
Reviewing its charter annually to ensure its actions align with its responsibility delegated by the Board; and
Fulfilling its responsibilities identified in its charter.

Our Total Compensation Approach
In designing and implementing our total compensation program, we are guided by market data of publicly-traded companies which our Committee views are comparable to Zebra, being of a similar size in the technology industry. This total compensation competitive information is supplemented by data from surveys of general industry practices for similar size firms. These surveys include a proprietary survey from The Delves Group, the Radford 2009 Executive Survey and the Watson Wyatt 2009/2010 CompQuest Database, as well as peer company compensation data as described below. Specific to the compensation of our executive officers, the Committee engaged The Delves Group as its independent executive compensation consultant to provide competitive compensation data, analysis and guidance throughout the process of determining 2009 compensation component levels for our executive officers and in developing our executive officer compensation program designs.

Our Total Compensation Components
Our total compensation program includes four components: base salary, annual incentive, long-term equity and employee benefits. Each component serves a particular purpose and, therefore, each is considered independent of the other components, though all four components combined provide a holistic total compensation approach in order to attract, retain, motivate and reward our employees. For 2009, the Committee determined each executive officer’s compensation component levels, but did not utilize a targeted pay mix to allocate total compensation among these components.

The base salary, annual incentive and long-term equity components are determined through a pay-for-performance approach, targeted at market median when target performance objectives are achieved, and can result in superior pay when superior performance objectives are achieved. Actual compensation varies based upon the attainment of financial and individual performance objectives, as well as each executive officer’s position, responsibilities and overall experience. Employee benefits are designed with features that align with market median program offerings. The following table describes the purpose of each component and how that component is related to our pay-for-performance approach and budget:

		Component in Relation to Performance
Component	Purpose of Component	and Budget
Base salary	To attract and retain employees by compensating them for the primary functions and responsibilities of the position.	The base salary increase an employee receives depends upon the employee’s individual performance, and the employee’s displayed skills and competencies, all established within the overall salary budget.
Annual cash incentive awards	To attract, retain, motivate and reward employees for achieving or surpassing key target performance objectives at the Zebra, business unit and individual level.	Financial and individual performance determines the actual amount of the employee’s target annual cash incentive award. Award amounts are “self-funded” because they are included in the financial performance results when determining actual financial performance.
Long-term equity awards	To attract, retain, motivate and reward top talent for the successful creation of stockholder value.	The employees’ past performance and future potential determines the amount of equity granted to them, established within the equity grant budget. Additionally, the collective performance of our employees to attain our financial objectives is one of many factors influencing stock price growth resulting in wealth creation.
Employee benefits	To attract and retain employees by providing them a competitive health, welfare and retirement benefits package in order to maintain their overall health and well-being.	Established within the overall employee benefit budget.

Role of Performance Management Process and Talent Management Review on Total Compensation
Our annual performance management process and the results of our annual talent management review are important aspects of the Committee’s determination of compensation component levels for our executive officers. Individual performance criteria and an executive officer’s talent assessment consist of a combination of objective and subjective criteria. Individual performance objectives were established for the executive officers in 2009 and final evaluations were conducted in early 2010 under our annual performance review process.

Performance Management Process: At the beginning of the calendar year, Mr. Gustafsson meets with each executive officer and establishes the executive officer’s individual performance objectives for the year. The Board of Directors and Mr. Smith, its Chairman, work with Mr. Gustafsson to establish Mr. Gustafsson’s individual performance objectives for the year. After the year ends, Mr. Gustafsson evaluates each executive officer’s performance, including determining the extent to which the executive officer’s individual performance objectives are met. The Board has an annual formal evaluation process through which it assesses the performance of Mr. Gustafsson, including determining the extent to which Mr. Gustafsson’s individual performance objectives are met. Mr. Smith communicates the results of the Board’s evaluation to Mr. Gustafsson. The performance evaluations are conducted on a subjective basis without weighting on any particular factor, taking into account other factors such as:

Performance of daily responsibilities;
Advancement and support of strategic business initiatives;
Particular or general contributions to the overall management of Zebra; and
Display of behaviors against our company’s values.

Mr. Gustafsson discusses the overall performance assessment of each executive officer with the Committee following the end of the calendar year.

Talent Management Review: After completing the annual performance evaluations, Mr. Gustafsson presents an overall talent management review to the Board, discussing the past performance and future potential of each executive officer and each of their direct reports, including a discussion of key skills, competencies and developmental opportunities.

For the 2009 total compensation planning process, the results of the talent management review and the performance evaluation of each officer were considered in conjunction with other factors discussed below in determining 2009 total compensation.

Establishing Our Total Compensation Component Levels
In determining the target compensation of our executive officers, the Committee considers several factors, including market compensation benchmarking. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Committee engaged The Delves Group to collect and analyze compensation data for our executive officers and assess their compensation relative to individuals holding similar positions in technology and other industries in preparation for 2009 total compensation planning. The compensation data sources used by The Delves Group consisted of third-party proprietary market databases, as well as compensation data from our peer group, and represented market-based compensation data for base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and long-term equity awards for executive officers.

The Delves Group was also engaged to provide comparative performance data for companies comprising a proposed new peer group, including revenue, net income, market value, 1 and 3-year total shareholder return and price earnings ratio. The Delves Group presented and the Committee discussed and approved the proposed new peer group. Seven companies were removed from our peer group (it was determined that either their revenue was too small, they were acquired or went private, or they were no longer a viable industry comparison to that of Zebra) and twelve companies were added to our peer group (it was determined they either served similar markets and customers, were of similar size and complexity, were a manufacturer of technical equipment, or had similar products and services and supply chain solutions to that of Zebra). The new peer group was determined based on one or more of the following overall criteria, as reflected in the table below:

Revenue range of half to two-times that of Zebra;
Similar market capitalization to Zebra;
Similar business model to Zebra;
Global reach;
Industry match to Zebra; and/or
Products of a similar technical nature.

Base Salary Component: Typically, Joanne Townsend, our Vice President, Human Resources, and Mr. Gustafsson review and discuss each executive officer’s base salary (other than that of the CEO), taking into consideration objective and subjective criteria, including individual performance, the relative position of the base salary in relation to the median-market data, executive experience levels, general labor market conditions, and our overall salary budget. After receiving the recommendations of Ms. Townsend and Mr. Gustafsson, the Committee reviews and establishes the base salaries of the non-CEO officers annually, relying upon the same objective and subjective information assessed by Ms. Townsend and Mr. Gustafsson.

The Committee also reviews similar objective and subjective criteria annually to recommend to the Board the base salary for Mr. Gustafsson. The Committee believes it is customary and appropriate that our CEO’s base salary, cash incentive award and equity compensation are greater than that of the other Zebra executive officers. Our CEO is the only executive with broad authority over Zebra’s full range of operations and with responsibilities encompassing all aspects of Zebra’s management and operations. These responsibilities are greater in scope and collectively more significant in nature than those of any other Zebra executive officer.

For 2009, market compensation data was presented by The Delves Group at the median and 75th percentile levels. This market compensation data was presented as a market consensus (weighted average of all sourced market data) for each executive officer, including Mr. Gustafsson. The market compensation data indicated our executive officers’ base salary compensation, inclusive of Mr. Gustafsson, ranged from 21% below to 31% above market median, and as a collective group averaged 3.8% above market median. The market data indicated that Mr. Gustafsson’s base salary compensation was 3% above market median.

Although the market compensation data was presented and discussed by the Committee, in light of the then uncertain economic conditions, we took a number of cost-savings actions to reduce total compensation expenses in 2009. We implemented a salary freeze for employees, including our executive officers, and adjusted certain employee benefits, as described in the Employee Benefits Component section below. As a result of the action to freeze base salaries at 2008 levels, the salaries of Mr. Gustafsson and the named officers identified in the summary compensation table following this compensation discussion and analysis (the “NEOs”) remained at 2008 levels, except for Mr. Walsh, who commenced employment on January 5, 2009. The annual base salaries of the NEOs were as follows: Mr. Gustafsson - $700,000; Mr. Smiley - $282,000; Mr. Gerskovich - $378,000; Mr. Gagnier - $338,000; and Mr. Walsh - $340,000.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards Component: Each executive officer has a target annual cash incentive award, which is established by the Committee and set as a percentage of base salary. For 2009, market compensation data was presented by The Delves Group at the median and 75th percentile levels. This market compensation data was presented as a market consensus (weighted average of all sourced market data) for each executive officer, including Mr. Gustafsson. The market data indicated our executive officers’ incentive target compensation ranged from 33% below to 19% above market median, and as a collective group averaged 7.7% below market median. The market data indicated that Mr. Gustafsson’s annual target incentive was 13% above market median.

2009 Annual Cash Incentive Plan: Each of our executive officers participated in the 2009 Zebra Incentive Plan (“ZIP”), which provided for an annual cash incentive award based on the achievement of financial and individual performance objectives. In light of the worldwide unstable economic conditions and the greatly reduced ability to accurately forecast sales to our distributors, resellers, integrated software vendors and other customers, for 2009 the Committee established two semi-annual performance periods within our annual performance period.

Financial Performance Components: The financial component consisted of one or more financial performance objectives of Zebra and, if applicable, the executive officer’s assigned business unit. Achievement of the financial performance objectives was measured both for the fiscal year and for each semi-annual performance period. If the sum of the semi-annual performance results exceed 100% for either of our business units or corporate, the officers in that affected business unit or corporate are eligible for an award payout on the financial component in excess of 100%, not to exceed 200%. This financial component represented 80% of each executive officer’s 2009 target cash incentive award as reflected in the table below.

Each executive officer’s 2009 cash incentive award also included the achievement of a performance objective, relating to return on invested capital. The performance period was the fiscal year and this performance objective represented 20% of each executive officer’s 2009 target cash incentive award as reflected in the table below.

How the Plan Works: With respect to the NEOs, the weights and measures, as well as actual payout rates for the financial component portion of the 2009 ZIP, are summarized in the following table with the first and second halves of 2009 labeled 1H09 and 2H09 respectively; SPG = Specialty Printer Group; ZES = Zebra Enterprise Solutions:

____________________

The annual financial performance period, which could have resulted in an award payout of greater than 100%, is not portrayed since Zebra did not achieve its targeted level of performance for this measure in 2009; Zebra’s income from operations measure for the first semi-annual performance period represented company consolidated income from operations and for the second semi-annual performance period consisted of SPG plus ZES income from operations results weighted at 85%, and Zebra’s corporate income from operations (corporate expense) weighed at 15%, as defined in the table below.

The target annual cash incentive awards that would be payable to each executive officer under the 2009 ZIP is calculated as a percentage of the officer’s base salary earned during the calendar year. Each officer’s target incentive percent is set forth in his respective employment agreement, with Mr. Gustafsson’s target incentive percent equal to 100% of his base salary. Generally, the target percent is higher for officers in more senior positions and who have more responsibility. The Committee has discretion to increase each officer’s target percent, although it did not do so for 2009. The financial component definitions and target objectives, as well as the minimum, target, maximum and actual results are reflected in the following three tables:

1		Zebra’s income from operations measure for the first semi-annual performance period represented company consolidated income from operations and for the second semi-annual performance period consisted of SPG plus ZES income from operations results weighted at 85%, and Zebra’s corporate income from operations (corporate expense) weighed at 15%; annual income from operations target was $116,900M.

2		Non-recurring charges specifically include such expense items as (i) One-time charges, non-operating charges or expenses incurred that are not under the control of operations management, as ratified by the Committee; (ii) restructuring expenses; (iii) exit expenses; (iv) integration expenses; (v) Board of Directors project activities (e.g.: director searches); or (vi) gains or losses on the sale of assets; (vii) acquired in-process technology or; (viii) impairment charges. The above list is not exhaustive and is meant to represent examples of the kind of expenses typically excluded from the calculations of Income from Operations. The Committee shall make all determinations regarding the exclusion of specific items from the performance measure for a semi-annual financial performance period. Acquisitions: generally, for the first quarter beginning at least six months after an acquisition closes, the financial targets will be adjusted to incorporate the acquired company’s budget or financial plan. The reported financial performance will also be adjusted to include the acquired company’s actual performance the first quarter beginning at least six months after an acquisition closes.

Cash Incentive Award as a Percentage
of Base Salary Earned in 2009

NEO	Minimum	Target	Maximum	Actual %	Actual $
Anders Gustafsson	0%	100%	200%	20.92%	$146,468
Michael Smiley	0%	50%	100%	10.46%	$29,503
Philip Gerskovich	0%	50%	100%	10.46%	$39,546
Hugh Gagnier	0%	45%	90%	10.11%	$34,828
William Walsh	0%	50%	100%	39.65%	$129,634

The amount of each NEO’s actual incentive award under the 2009 ZIP depended upon the level of attainment of his financial and individual performance objectives for the year. Pursuant to the employment agreement for Mr. Walsh, his annual cash incentive award was guaranteed to be no less than 50% of his base salary earnings ($163,461) for the first semi-annual performance period. We believe the 2009 incentive award amounts are fair in light of the 2009 economy. The incentive award amounts are significantly below target, but are appropriately aligned with our financial results which also performed below the targeted objective.

Long-Term Equity Awards Component: The Committee believes it is important that all of our executive officers are incented to create stockholder value over a long-term investment horizon. With the assistance of The Delves Group providing market compensation data from our peer group and the general industry regarding the level and mix of equity awards, we shifted our focus in recent years from providing only stock options to using a variety of equity vehicles. This shift in practice allowed us to develop compensation packages based upon changing business conditions and accounting practices in order to attract, retain, motivate and reward our employees.

2009 Equity Grant: Compensation market data was presented by The Delves Group at the median and 75th percentile levels, and included equity pay mix data. This market compensation data was presented as a market consensus (weighted average of all sourced market data) for each executive officer, including Mr. Gustafsson. The market data reflected that our executive officers’ equity compensation ranged from 47% below to 23% above market median, and as a collective group averaged 14.8% below market median. The market data indicated that Mr. Gustafsson’s equity grant was 42% below market median. Utilizing The Delves Group information for the executive officers, Mr. Gustafsson then recommended to the Committee a total equity award dollar value for each executive officer, except for himself, based upon the market compensation data and factors similar to those described under the Base Salary Component. The Committee considered the same factors, including Mr. Gustafsson’s recommendations, before making its final equity grant determination on a subjective basis. With respect to Mr. Gustafsson’s total equity award dollar value, the Committee consulted directly with The Delves Group and considered the same factors it considered in determining the total equity award dollar values for the other executive officers.

For 2009, the Committee determined an equity grant dollar value for each executive officer and converted that value to a number of shares as reflected below. This value was granted in the form of time-vesting stock appreciation rights and time-vesting restricted shares of common stock, allocated at approximately 50% to each of these equity grant vehicles. The Committee believes these two equity vehicles will most appropriately motivate Mr. Gustafsson and our executive officers for attaining company growth while reducing the risk of a company value decline because of the economic interest of each executive officer in restricted stock. Equity awards are also intended to provide a significant retention incentive for Mr. Gustafsson and our executive officers. In determining this mix of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, the Committee based its decision on the equity grant practices of other comparable companies as presented by The Delves Group. The 2009 grant date fair value for each NEO is summarized in the table below. In addition, Mr. Walsh commenced employment on January 5, 2009. In connection with his commencement of employment, Mr. Walsh was granted 21,945 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price of $20.74 and 8,197 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $353,905.

Stock Appreciation Rights Share (SARs) Calculation and Terms: In calculating the number of time-vesting stock appreciation rights shares, we divided the grant dollar value of the equity award by a fair value determined by using the binomial method multiplied by an estimated per share price of our common stock on the grant date. The actual base price was set using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Consistent with the 2008 annual equity grant award terms for stock options, the Committee determined that the stock appreciation rights awards would vest 25% on the anniversary of the grant date, or each May 7 beginning 2010, and would expire on May 7, 2019.

The number of SARs granted to each NEO on May 7, 2009 is summarized in the table below and is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Share Calculation and Terms: In calculating the number of time-vesting restricted shares, we divided the grant dollar value of the equity award by an estimated per share price of our common stock on the grant date. The actual value was set using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. In order to provide a significant long-term perspective and retention incentive, the Committee determined that the restricted stock awards would vest 100% on May 7, 2012, the third anniversary date of the grant.

2009 Annual Equity Grant

			Number of Restricted
NEO	Grant Date Fair Value	Number of SARs	Shares
Mr. Gustafsson	$1,788,700	115,000	45,000
Mr. Smiley	$442,838	29,122	10,878
Mr. Gagnier	$442,838	29,122	10,878
Mr. Gerskovich	$332,122	21,842	8,158
Mr. Walsh	$221,419	14,561	5,439

Employee Benefits Component: Our executive officers are also eligible to participate in various benefit programs offered generally to Zebra’s U.S. salaried employees, such as our health plans and group disability and life insurance plans. We also provide a 401(k) plan to eligible employees, and also provide a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees. We generally do not provide perquisites, nor do we provide other long-term compensation plans, supplemental executive retirement plans or a defined benefit pension plan. For 2009, in light of the then uncertain economic conditions, we took a number of cost-savings actions to reduce total compensation expenses. In addition to freezing base salaries as described above, we also reduced our Company matching 401(k) contributions, eliminated our 2009 profit-sharing contribution, and reduced the discount percentage on our employee stock purchase plan for all employees, including the executive officers.

Our Executive Officer Employment Agreements
Each executive officer has an employment agreement addressing matters such as compensation (including base salary, annual cash incentive awards, long-term equity awards and employee benefit), termination of employment, non-competition and/or non-solicitation provisions. We believe that providing an employment agreement facilitates the attraction of high performing and high potential executive officers by providing them a minimum level of total compensation. We also believe the employment agreements provide a minimum level of assurance in the event of a termination of employment in connection with a change in control, for good reason by the executive officer, or by Zebra without cause, as defined in each executive officer’s employment agreement and summarized under Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements.

The various components of total compensation as reflected within the employment agreements are reviewed on an annual basis by the Committee as described within this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. All other provisions of the employment agreements are established at the onset of the employee being named an executive officer and are reviewed and updated on an as needed basis.

Specific to the non-compete and/or non-solicitation provisions, we believe these provisions align with our desire to protect the company and the stockholders from negative actions that could be caused by an executive officer after termination who joins a competitor and engages in activities that could result in competitive harm to Zebra or our customers.

We believe that the severance amounts as reflected under Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment are fair and reasonable in order to allow the executive officer to transition from Zebra with minimal disruption to our overall business and, in the event of a termination of employment in connection with a change in control, in order to ensure that the executive officer performs his or her duties and responsibilities to facilitate a transition of the business to any acquirer.

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

Executive Compensation

The following table summarizes the compensation earned during 2009, 2008 and 2007 by our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most highly compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2009. We refer to these five executive officers as the named officers.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested

None of the named officers exercised any options or stock appreciation rights in 2009 and no awards of restricted stock vested in 2009.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Pursuant to Zebra’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, a named officer may defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 80% of his base salary and annual incentive award. Deferred compensation balances are credited with gains or losses which mirror the performance of benchmark investment funds available under the plans and selected by the participant. All credited amounts are unfunded general obligations of Zebra, and participants have no greater rights to payment than any unsecured general creditor of Zebra.

The value of a participant’s account changes based upon the performance of the selected benchmark. Account balances are paid either in a lump sum or in annual installments. The plans permit payment upon, among other things, a termination of employment and a change of control of Zebra. Zebra does not make contributions to the plans, but pays the costs of administration.

The table below reflects the funds available under the plan in which the named officers’ accounts had investment balances as of December 31, 2009, as well as the funds’ 2009 rates of return.

Fund Name		2009 Rate of Return
T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve		0.19%
T. Rowe Price Retirement 2020		34.19%
T. Rowe Price Growth Stock		43.25%

The table below sets forth information regarding the named officers’ participation in the plan in 2009. The participants’ earnings on their deferred amounts were not reported in the summary compensation table.

Employment Agreements

Zebra has employment agreements with each of the named officers. Mr. Gustafsson’s employment agreement is substantially the same as the agreements of Messrs. Gerskovich, Gagnier, Walsh and Smiley, except as described below.

Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier, and Walsh. Messrs. Smiley, Gerskovich, Gagnier, and Walsh are entitled to annual base salaries and are eligible to earn targeted annual incentive awards under Zebra’s annual incentive plan. Eligibility to receive equity compensation is determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

If the officer terminates his employment for good reason or Zebra terminates his employment without cause and under circumstances other than death or disability, he will be entitled to (i) one-year continuation of base salary; (ii) a pro rata portion of his annual incentive for the year in which his employment terminates, if the incentive otherwise would have been earned; (iii) any unpaid previously earned annual incentive; (iv) a payment equal to 100% of his target annual incentive for the year in which his employment terminates; (v) outplacement services not to exceed $32,000; and (vi) the continuation of coverage under Zebra’s medical and dental insurance plans, with Zebra contributing to the cost of such coverage at the same rate Zebra pays for health insurance coverage for its active employees under its group health plan, until the earlier of (a) one year after the date of termination, or (b) the officer becoming eligible for coverage under another group health plan that does not impose preexisting condition limitations. “Cause” includes the commission, indictment or conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving fraud or dishonesty; a material breach of the employment agreement; willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or dishonest, fraudulent or unethical behavior; failure to materially comply with a direction of the Board; or breach of fiduciary duty to Zebra.

If the officer terminates his employment for good reason or Zebra terminates his employment without cause, and the termination occurs within 120 days immediately preceding or one year following a “change in control,” then the officer will be entitled to all compensation and benefits set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, except that the officer will receive a payment equal to two times his base salary in lieu of one-year salary continuation, plus two times his target annual incentive in lieu of one times, which payment would be payable within 60 days following the later of the change in control or termination. A “change in control” includes (1) an acquisition by a person or group of 35% or more of Zebra’s common stock; (2) a change in a majority of the Board within a 24-month period; (3) the approval by our stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of Zebra; or (4) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of Zebra or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Zebra. “Good Reason” includes a demotion to a lesser position or assignment of duties materially inconsistent with the officer’s position, status or responsibilities; a material breach by Zebra of the employment agreement; or a decrease in base salary (unless applied proportionally).

If payments or benefits exceed the threshold under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and an excise tax becomes due, the officer would be entitled to a gross-up payment such that, after payment by him of all applicable taxes and excise taxes, he retains an amount equal to the amount he would have retained had no excise tax been imposed; provided, that if the threshold under Section 4999 is exceeded by 10% or less, the total payments he would be entitled to would be reduced so that no excise tax would be due.

Each officer is bound by non-competition and non-solicitation provisions until two years following his termination, except Messrs. Gagnier and Walsh are bound for one year following termination. Each officer has agreed to confidentiality covenants during and after employment.

Mr. Gustafsson. Mr. Gustafsson entered into his employment agreement when he was hired as Zebra’s CEO in 2007. The agreement provides for an initial base salary of $700,000, a target annual incentive equal to 100% of his salary and a maximum annual incentive equal to 200% of his salary.

Mr. Gustafsson’s agreement also provides (i) for payment of relocation costs; (ii) any decrease in Mr. Gustafsson’s salary permits him to terminate his employment for good reason; and (iii) if Mr. Gustafsson terminates his employment for good reason or Zebra terminates his employment without cause and under circumstances other than death or disability, he will not receive outplacement services, the unvested portion of non-performance-based equity awards will vest immediately, the continuation of his salary will be for a period of two years, and, unless it is otherwise terminated, the continuation of healthcare coverage will be for a period of two years.

Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

Described below are the potential payments and benefits to which the named officers would be entitled from Zebra under their employment agreements, their equity award agreements, and Zebra’s compensation and benefit plans upon termination of employment, if such termination had occurred as of December 31, 2009. Amounts actually received would vary based on factors such as the date on which a named officer’s employment terminates and the price of our common stock. The tables exclude payments and benefits that are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to full-time salaried employees, such as accrued salary and vacation pay.
