PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN

Adopted: 07/21/2008

Effective: 07/21/2008

Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation, (the “Company”), established this Savings Restoration Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective October 1, 1994, for the purpose of attracting high quality executives and promoting in its executives increased efficiency and an interest in the successful operation of the Company by restoring some of the deferral opportunities and employer-provided benefits that are lost under The Parker Retirement Savings Plan due to legislative limits. The Plan was amended during December 2005 to provide for certain transitional rules and is hereby amended and restated as of July 21, 2008 and such other dates as specified herein to reflect the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) with respect to the terms and conditions applicable to amounts that are deferred under the Savings Restoration Plan after December 31, 2004 and subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.1(i), 6.2(iii) and 8.4 of this Plan, all benefits deferred and vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 and any additional amounts that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, including the portion of a Participant’s Excess RIA Account that was vested under the terms of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2004 and earnings thereon, (the “Grandfathered Amounts”) shall continue to be subject solely to the terms of the separate Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004. The Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall be read to preclude the Plan from using any transition rules permitted under the Act, provided that no action will be permitted with respect to the Grandfathered Amounts that will subject such amounts to Section 409A of the Code.

Adjusted Matching Percentage shall mean the sum of 100% of the first 3% of a Participant’s Total Deferral Percentage, plus 50% of the next 2% of the Participant’s Total Deferral Percentage. The maximum Adjusted Matching Percentage for any Plan Year shall be 4%.

Administrator shall mean the Company or, if applicable, the committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to administer the Plan pursuant to Article 13 .

 

1.4.

Affiliated Group shall mean the Company and all entities with which the Company would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code, provided that in applying Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code for purposes of


 

determining a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code, and in applying Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in that regulation. Such term shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of “service recipient” contained in Section 409A of the Code.

 

1.5.

Annual Deferral shall mean the amount of Compensation which the Participant elects to defer for a Plan Year pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 .

1.9.

Change in Control means the occurrence of one of the following events:

A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.9(b) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.9(a) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

 

 

(ii)

The date that a majority of the Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election was not endorsed by a majority of the members of the board prior to the date of such appointment or election.

The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall not result in a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets if such transfer is to: (i) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) a person or group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company, or (iv) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in Section 1.9(c)(iii) of this Plan.

Notwithstanding Sections 1.9(a), 1.9(b)(i) and 1.9(c) above, the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a “Business Combination”), shall not be deemed a Change in Control if, immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by securities of the Company eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”) that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Company’s Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in Section 1.9(a) or 1.9(b)(i) above shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (a) an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (c) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (d) the acquisition of stock of the Company from the Company.
