(f)            “ Company ” shall mean Trimble Navigation Limited.

 

(g)           “ Compensation ” shall mean all regular straight time gross earnings,  commissions, overtime, shift premium, lead pay and other similar compensation, but excluding bonuses resulting from any profit sharing plans, automobile allowances, relocation and other non-cash compensation.  Unless determined otherwise by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board), “Compensation” shall not include incentive bonuses.

 

(h)           “ Continuous Status as an Employee ” shall mean the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an Employee.  Continuous Status as an Employee shall not be considered interrupted in the case of a leave of absence agreed to in writing by the Company, or one of its Subsidiaries, provided that such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

(b)           Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwith­standing, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) which permits his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time (or other such limit, as imposed under Section 423 of the Code or final regulations issued thereunder).

5.              Participation .

 

(a)           An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form required by the Company and filing it with the Company (or third party designated by the Company) by the time specified by the Company, as set forth in the subscription agreement, unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period.

 

(b)           A participant’s authorized payroll deductions shall be deducted from each paycheck paid during an Offering Period and shall continue until changed by the participant, as provided in paragraph 10 or by amendment or termination of this Plan.
