PARKER-HANNIFIN
CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
PENSION RESTORATION PLAN
Adopted: 07/21/2008
Effective: 07/21/2008
Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio
corporation (the “Company”), established this Pension
Restoration Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective
January 1, 1995, 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
benefits that are lost due to legislative limits on the
Company’s qualified retirement plan(s). The Plan 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”). 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.
ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS
|
1.1.
|
Actuarial
Value shall mean the
actuarial present value of the benefits calculated by an actuary
selected by the Administrator and using the actuarial assumptions
employed under the Qualified Plan.
|
|
1.2.
|
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 6 of the
Plan.
|
|
1.3.
|
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 Sections 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 Sections
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.
|
|
1.4.
|
Beneficiary shall mean the person or persons or entity
designated as such in accordance with Article 10 of the
Plan.
|
|
1.5.
|
Change in
Control shall mean the
occurrence of one of the following events:
|
|
|
(a)
|
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 1.5(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.
|
|
|
(i)
|
A change in
effective control of the Company, which occurs on either of the
following dates:
|
|
|
(A)
|
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 (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the
date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group)
ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the
total voting power of the Company. 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 1.5(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.
|

|
|
(B)
|
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.

|
|
(ii)
|
A change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets,
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 (or has acquired
during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or group) assets that have a total gross
fair market value equal to or more than 65% of the total gross fair
market value of all the assets of the Company immediately before
such acquisition or acquisitions. 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
(A) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset
transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (B) an
entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) 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 (D) 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 1.5(c)(iii) of this
Plan.

1.5(b)(i) and 1.5(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
3
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 1.5(a) or 1.5(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;
