AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

FOR

 

(“EXECUTIVE”)

HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC., a Wisconsin corporation, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively referred to herein as the “Employer”), hereby amends and restates the previously established Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for the Executive, effective as of the      day of                  ,              , as follows:

1. Purpose . The purpose of the SERP is to provide the Executive with retirement income benefits which are supplemental to entitlements under the Funded Plan, the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan, the Harley-Davidson Pension Benefit Restoration Plan, and the Employer’s post-retirement medical benefits plan.

2. Definitions . The following terms have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(a) “Affiliate” means each corporation, trade or business that, with the Company, constitutes a controlled group of corporations, or group of trades or businesses under common control, within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) or (c); provided that for purposes of determining when the Executive has incurred a Separation from Service, the phrase “at least 50 percent” shall be used in place of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Code Section 414(b) and (c) and the regulations thereunder.

(b) “Applicable Interest Rate” means the product of (i) one (1.0) minus the applicable maximum tax rate at the Executive’s Determination Date, with such rate expressed as a decimal, and (ii) the discount rate used by the Company to value the obligations of the Funded Plan, as set forth in the Company’s disclosure for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87 (or any successor) for the fiscal year of the Company that includes the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death, with such rate also expressed as a decimal. The product shall then be rounded up to the nearest hundredth. The “applicable maximum tax rate” means the total of the maximum federal individual income tax, the maximum State of Wisconsin individual income tax, and the Hospital Insurance (Medicare) payroll tax, taking into account the deductibility of state income taxes for federal income tax purposes, to the extent permitted by law and tax rates as they are legally in effect at the Executive’s Determination Date. Any subsequent adjustments which may be made to tax rates or to the Funded Plan’s expected rate of return on plan assets, even if having retroactive effect to such date, shall be disregarded.

(c) “Applicable Percentage” means thirty-five percent (35%) plus, for each full calendar month of employment completed by the Executive after age fifty-five (55), one thousand seven hundred eighty-six ten-thousandths percent (0.1786%), not to exceed a maximum of fifty percent (50%) at age sixty-two (62).

(d) “Board” means the Board of Directors of Harley-Davidson, Inc.


(e) “Change of Control Event” means a “change in control event” (as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A) with respect to the Company.

(f) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time.

(g) “Committee” means the Retirement Plans Committee appointed by the Board, or, if such Committee is unable to fulfill its duties under the SERP, the Board.

(h) “Company” means Harley-Davidson, Inc., or any successor thereto.

(i) “Determination Date” has the meaning assigned in the Harley-Davidson Pension Benefit Restoration Plan.

(j) “Earnings” and “Final Average Earnings” have the meanings assigned to such terms by the Funded Plan except that each shall be determined for purposes of this SERP without regard to the limitations on pensionable earnings imposed by Code Section 401(a)(17) and increased by any amount which would be taxable compensation if such amount were not contributed as a pretax contribution to a nonqualified plan of deferred compensation maintained by an Employer.

(k) “Effective Date” means the date first above written.

(l) “Funded Plan” means the Retirement Annuity Plan for Salaried Employees of Harley-Davidson, as from time to time amended and in effect.

(m) “Payment Date” shall have the meaning assigned in the Harley-Davidson Pension Benefit Restoration Plan.

(n) “SERP Benefit” means the monthly benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Executive equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Executive’s Final Average Earnings as specially defined for purposes of this SERP, offset and reduced by the Executive’s monthly benefit entitlement payable in the normal single life annuity form under (i) the Funded Plan and (ii) the Harley-Davidson Pension Benefit Restoration Plan. A SERP Benefit hereunder is payable only to an Executive who is living on the date payments are to commence to be paid to the Executive, which is deemed to be the Executive’s Determination Date. “Annuity,” for all purposes hereunder, means periodic payments of income and does not, under any circumstance, suggest or require that a contract from an insurance company will be obtained to provide such periodic payments.

(o) “Spouse” means the surviving spouse of the Executive, as such term is defined in the Funded Plan.

3. Vesting . The Executive’s entitlement to the SERP Benefit hereunder vests and becomes nonforfeitable, to the extent accrued, upon completion of fifteen (15) Years of Vesting Service and attainment of age fifty-five (55) before termination of employment for any reason, including death. For purposes of this SERP the term “Years of Vesting Service” has the meaning assigned to it by the Funded Plan.

4. Coordination of SERP Benefits with Pension Benefit Restoration Plan . The SERP Benefit hereunder and any benefit entitlements of the Executive under the Harley-Davidson Pension Benefit Restoration Plan shall be coordinated by the Employer so as to have the effect of being benefits provided by a single plan or program. As a result, the same form and time of benefit payment is required for benefits under each program and the benefits payable under each program may be combined into one paymen
