(ff)           “Performance Goals” means, for a Performance Period, the goals established in writing by the Administrator for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria.  Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance, the performance of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, the performance of a division or a business unit of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or the performance of an individual.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may, to the extent consistent with, and within the time prescribed by, Section 162(m) of the Code, appropriately adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for such Performance Period in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of Awardees (a) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event, or development, or (b) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions.

If an Award or Option expires, is cancelled, forfeited or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full or otherwise settled in full, or is settled in cash, the undelivered Shares which were subject thereto shall, unless the Plan has terminated, become available for future Awards or Options under the Plan.  To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary shall not be counted against Shares available for grant pursuant to this Plan.  The payment of Dividend Equivalent rights in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

4.             Administration of the Plan.

(a)           Procedure.

(i)            Multiple Administrative Bodies.  Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

(ii)           Section 162(m).  To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards or Options granted hereunder as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(iii)           Rule 16b-3.  To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

(iv)          Other Administration.  Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

(b)           Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i)            to select the Service Providers to whom Awards or Options may be granted hereunder;

(ii)           to determine the number of shares of Common Stock or other amounts to be covered by each Award or Option granted hereunder and to determine the amount, if any, of cash payment to be made to an Awardee;

(iii)           to approve forms of agreements for use under the Plan;

(iv)           to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award or Option granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), the time or times when Awards vest (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or Option or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(v)           to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(vi)           to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;

(vii)          to modify or amend each Award or Option (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; provided, however, that except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to  reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an  exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders; provided further, however, that the Administrator shall not have the discretionary authority to accelerate or delay issuance of Shares under an Option or Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, except to the extent that such acceleration or delay may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be effected in a manner that will not cause any person to incur taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code;

(viii)        to allow Awardees or Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or vesting of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by an Awardee or Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

(ix)          to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award or Option previously granted by the Administrator; and

(x)           to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c)           Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Awardees and Optionees and any other holders of Awards or Options.

5.             Eligibility.  Nonstatutory Stock Options and Awards may be granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

 
-7-

 

6.             Limitations.

(a)           Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b)           Neither the Plan nor any Award or Option shall confer upon an Awardee or Optionee any right with respect to continuing that individual’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Awardee’s or Optionee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

(c)           The following limitations shall apply to grants of Awards and Options:

(i)            No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options and Awards covering more than 600,000 Shares.

(ii)           In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options and Awards covering an additional 900,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

(iii)           The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14.

(iv)           If an Award or Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 14), the cancelled Option or Award will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above.

7.           Stock Options.  The Administrator is authorized to make grants of Options to any Service Provider on the terms stated below.

(a)           Term.  The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

(b)           Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(i)             In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A)           granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 
-8-

 

(B)           granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii)           In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or consolidation of or by the Company with or into another corporation, the purchase or acquisition of property or stock by the Company of another corporation, any spin-off or other distribution of stock or property by the Company or another corporation, any reorganization of the Company, or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, if such action by the Company or other corporation results in a significant number of Employees being transferred to a new employer or discharged, or in the creation or severance of the Parent-Subsidiary relationship.

(c)           Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.  At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any con­ditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(d)           Form of Consideration.  The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.  Such consideration may consist entirely of:

(i)            cash;

(ii)           check;

(iii)           promissory note;

(v)           consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program approved by the Company;

(vi)           a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee’s participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;

(e)           Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards and Options granted hereunder shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 
-9-

 

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company (or its designated agent) receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option or such person’s authorized agent, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for delivery under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(f)           Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, for any reason, all unvested Shares covered by his or her Option shall be forfeited.  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(g)           Disability of Optionee.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(h)           Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider or within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the Administrator), the Option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s death.  If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(b)           Issuance and Restrictions.  Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock).  These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.

-11-

(b)           Grant Price.  The grant price per Share subject to a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, the per Share grant price for any Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

(c)           Payment and Limitations on Exercise.

(i)           Payment of the amounts determined under Section 10(c) hereof shall be in cash, in Shares (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.

(ii)           To the extent any payment under Section 10(a) is effected in Shares, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all applicable provisions of Section 7 pertaining to Options.

(d)           Term.  The term of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be no longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

11.           Performance-Based Awards for Covered Employees.

(a)           Purpose.  The purpose of this Section 11 is to provide the Administrator the ability to qualify Awards other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation as determined under Code Section 162(m).  If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Section 11 shall control over any contrary provision contained in this Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may in its discretion grant Awards to Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.

(b)           Applicability.  This Section 11 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Administrator to receive Performance-Based Awards that are intended to qualify as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.  The designation of a Covered Employee as an Awardee for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Awardee to receive an Award for the period.  Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as an for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as an Awardee in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as an Awardee shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as an Awardee in such period or in any other period.

(c)           Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards.  To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under this Plan which may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Administrator shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period.  Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.  In determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of

 
-12-

 

(d)           Payment of Performance-Based Awards.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, an Awardee must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate on the day a Performance-Based Award for the appropriate Performance Period is paid to the Awardee.  Furthermore, an Awardee shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.

(e)           Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

12.           Other Awards.  The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to make any other Award to a Service Provider that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) a right with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or (iii) any other right with the value derived from the value of the Shares.  The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Awardees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.

13.           General Provisions Applicable to All Awards.

(a)           Transferability of Awards and Options.  Incentive Stock Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and, may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award or Nonstatutory Stock Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised (if applicable), during the lifetime of the Optionee or Awardee, only by the Optionee or Awardee.  If the Administrator makes an Award or Nonstatutory Stock Option transferable, such Award or Nonstatutory Stock Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

(b)           Term.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of any Award or Option (to the extent applicable) shall be no longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

(c)           Exercise and Vesting upon Termination of Employment or Service.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, all unvested Awards will terminate effective upon termination of employment or service for any reason.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, in the case of Awards that have an exercise period (e.g., Stock Appreciation Rights), if the Awardee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her death or Disability, he or she (or his or her heirs or personal representative of his or her estate in the case of death) will have twelve (12) months after the date of termination to exercise outstanding vested Awards or shorter period if the expiration date for the Award is earlier.  All Shares subject to unvested Awards that terminate upon termination of service and all unexercised Awards after expiration of the post termination will revert to the Plan.

 
-13-

 

(d)           Form of Payment.  Payments with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made in cash, in Shares, or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.

(e)           Award Agreement.  All Awards under this Plan shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

(f)           Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award or Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award or Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator in accordance with Applicable Laws.  Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Awardee and Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

(g)           Timing of Settlement.  At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the settlement date applicable to an Award, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date(s) applicable to the relevant Award and may be later than the vesting date(s) to the extent and under the terms determined by the Administrator.

(h)           Exercise or Purchase Price.  The Administrator may establish the exercise or purchase price (if any) of any Award provided however that such price shall not be less than required by Applicable Law.

(i)             Vesting Conditions.  The Administrator has the discretion to provide for vesting conditions for Awards tied to performance conditions which do not satisfy the requirements for Qualified Performance-Based Compensation as determined under Code Section 162(m).

(j)             Dividend Equivalents.  The Administrator may determine at the time of grant whether Awards (other than those Awards pursuant to which Shares are issued at grant) will provide for Dividend Equivalent rights.

14.           Adjustments; Dissolution; Merger or Change in Control.

(a)           Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award and Option and the numerical limits of Section 6.  The adjustments provided under this Section 14(a) shall be final and binding on the affected Optionee or Awardee and the Company.

 
-14-

 

(b)           Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Awardee and Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee or Awardee to have the right to exercise his or her Option or Award (if exercisable) until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option or Award would not otherwise be exercisable.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide that the vesting of an Award or Option accelerate at any time prior to such transaction.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or Award (if exercisable) will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, and unvested Awards will be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)           Merger or Change in Control.  In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award and Option shall be assumed or an equivalent award, option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Award or Option, or substitute an equivalent option or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Awardee or Optionee to have the right to vest in and exercise the Option or Award (if exercisable) as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which the Option or Award) would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and in the case of an unvested Award, to vest in the entire Award.  If the Administrator makes an Option or Award (if exercisable) fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee or Awardee that the Option or Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Award (if exercisable) will terminate upon the expiration of such period.  If, in such a merger or Change in Control, the Award or Option is assumed or an equivalent award or option or right is substituted by such successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation, and if during a one-year period after the effective date of such merger or Change in Control, the Awardee’s or Optionee’s status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason other than the Awardee’s or Optionee’s voluntary termination of such relationship, then (i) in the case of an Option or an Award (if exercisable), the Optionee or Awardee shall have the right within three (3) months thereafter to exercise the Option or Award (if exercisable) as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which the Option or Award (if exercisable) would not be otherwise exercisable, effective as of the date of such termination and (ii) in the case of an unvested Award, the Award shall be fully vested on the date of such termination.

For the purposes of this subsection (c), the Award or Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Award or each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, in each case, immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or an Award (if exercisable), for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option and each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Award, and upon the vesting of an Award, for each Share of Awarded Stock to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

15.           Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)           Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.  The Board may not materially alter the Plan without shareholder approval, including by increasing the benefits accrued to Awardees or Optionees under the Plan; increasing the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan; modifying the requirements for participation in the Plan; or including a provision allowing the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.

(b)           Shareholder Approval.  The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of this Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws and paragraph (c) below.

(c)           Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Award or Option shall (i) impair the rights of any Awardee or Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Awardee or Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Awardee or Optionee and the Company or (ii) permit the reduction of the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right after it has been granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan), unless approved by the Company’s shareholders.  Neither may the Administrator, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price, where the economic effect would be the same as reducing the exercise price of the cancelled Option or Stock Appreciation Right.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards and Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. Any increase in the number of Shares subject to the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 14 hereof, shall be approved by the Company’s shareholders.

16.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)           Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Award (if exercisable) or the vesting of an Award unless the exercise of such Option or Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b)           Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Award (if exercisable), the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

17.           Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

18.           Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 
-16-

 

19.           Shareholder Approval; Effective Date; Plan Term for ISO Grants.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.  The Plan shall be effective as of the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”).  No Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan after the earlier or the tenth (10th) anniversary of (a) the date the Plan is approved by the Board or (b) the Effective Date.

20.           Governing Law.  The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California.

21.           Section 409A.  To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award or Option granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement or Option Agreement evidencing such Award or Option shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements and Option Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award or Option may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may, without consent of the Awardee or Optionee, adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or Option Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award or Option from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award or Option, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.

22.           Tax Withholding.  The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require an to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States (including income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account and any other taxes that may be due) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning an Optionee or Awardee arising as a result of this Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of taxes.  The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Option or Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.  No Shares shall be delivered hereunder to any Optionee or Awardee or other person until the Optionee or Awardee, or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Optionee or Awardee, or such other person arising as a result of the Options or Awards made under this Plan.

23.           No Right to Employment or Services.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement or Option Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Awardee’s or Optionee’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Awardee or Optionee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 
-17-

 

24.           Unfunded Status of Awards.  The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to an Awardee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Awardee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

25.           No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification.  Although the Company may endeavor to (1) qualify an Award for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States (e.g., incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code or French-qualified stock options) or (2) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Sections 280G, 409A or 457A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment and any liability to any Optionee or Awardee for failure to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax result.  The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Awardees or Optionees under the Plan.

AGREEMENT

A.           Grant of Option.

The Administrator hereby grants to the person named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) attached as Part I of this Option Agreement (the “Optionee”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.  However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).

B.            Exercise of Option.

1.           Right to Exercise.  This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

2.           Method of Exercise.  This Option is exercisable by (i) electronic exercise in accordance with an approved automated exercise program or (ii) delivery of an exercise notice, in the form designated by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company.  The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Price.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

C.            Method of Payment.

Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

1.             cash; or

2.             check; or

3.             consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

4.             surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

 
-23-

 

D.             Non-Transferability of Option.

This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee.  The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

E.            Term of Option.

This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

F.            Tax Obligations.

1.             Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Optionee’s actual employer, if the Company is not the Optionee’s employer (collectively, the “Company”), takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Furthermore, if the Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company, or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)  withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company; or

(b)  withholding from proceeds of the sale of Exercised Shares acquired upon exercise, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c)  withholding in the Exercised Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Optionee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Exercised Shares, notwithstanding that some Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Optionee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, which amount cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 
-24-

 

2.             Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares.  If the Option granted to the Optionee herein is an ISO, and if the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

G.            NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.

THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER, IF THE COMPANY IS NOT THE OPTIONEE’S EMPLOYER (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER).  THE OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE EMPLOYER’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW.

H.           Nature of Option Grant.

In accepting this Option, the Optionee acknowledges the following:

1.           the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

2.           the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

3.           all decisions with respect to future stock option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

4.           the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or any Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate the Optionee’s Service Provider relationship at any time;

5.           the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

6.           this Option and the Optioned Stock are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, and which is outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any;

7.           this Option and the Optioned Stock are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 
-25-

 

8.             this Option and the Optioned Stock are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Affiliate;

9.             this Option and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate;

10.           the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with any certainty;

11.           if the Optioned Stock does not increase in value, this Option will have no value;

12.           if the Optionee exercises this Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

13.           in consideration of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Option if the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and any Affiliate from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

14.           in the event that the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Optionee’s right, if any, to vest in this Option will terminate effective as of the date on which the Optionee is no longer an active Service Provider and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Applicable Laws; the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer an active Service Provider for purposes of this Option; and

15.           this Option and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, takeover or transfer of liability.

I.             No Advice Regarding Grant.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

2.             Method of Exercise.  This Option is exercisable by (i) electronic exercise in accordance with an approved automated exercise program or (ii) delivery of an exercise notice, designated by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company.  The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Price.

F.             Tax Obligations.

Regardless of any action the Company or the Optionee’s actual employer, if the Company is not the actual employer (the “Employer”), takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Furthermore, if the Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

3.           withholding in the Exercised Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Optionee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Exercised Shares, notwithstanding that some Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Optionee shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, which amount cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

APPENDIX TO
TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(NON-U.S. OPTIONEES)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix, which is part of the Option Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern this Option and that will apply to the Optionee if he or she is in one of the countries listed below.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Option Agreement.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2009.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when he or she exercise this Option and/or sells any Shares acquired at exercise.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result.  The Optionee therefore is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her particular situation.

Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which the Optionee currently is working, the information contained herein may not apply to him or her.

AUSTRALIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Australian Addendum.  The Optionee understands and agrees that his or her right to participate in the Plan and any Option granted under the Plan are subject to an Australian Addendum to the Plan.  This Option is subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Australian Addendum, the Offer Document, the Plan and the Option Agreement.

Right to Exercise. Notwithstanding Paragraph B.1 of the Option Agreement and consistent with Section 7(e) of the Plan, the Optionee may not exercise any portion of this Option unless and until the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 2(u) of the Plan) per Share underlying this Option on the date of exercise equals or exceeds the Exercise Price per Share pursuant to the procedures established by the Company to determine the length of time that the Fair Market Value must trade at or above the Exercise Price per Share to meet this requirement.

BELGIUM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Considerations.  This Option must be accepted in writing either (a) within 60 days of the offer (for tax at offer), or (b) more than 60 days after the offer (for tax at exercise).  The Optionee will receive a separate offer letter, acceptance form and undertaking form in addition to the Option Agreement.  The Optionee should refer to the offer letter for a more detailed description of the tax consequences of choosing to accept this Option.  The Optionee should consult his or her personal tax advisor with respect to completion of the additional forms.

The Optionee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved in the administration of the Plan.  The Optionee further authorizes the Company, the Employer and/or any Affiliate to disclose and discuss such information with their advisors.  The Optionee also authorizes the Company, the Employer and/or any Affiliate to record such information and to keep such information in the Optionee’s employment file.

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Method of Payment.  Notwithstanding Paragraph C of the Option Agreement, due to exchange control and securities restrictions in China, when the Optionee exercises the Option, the Optionee must use a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan whereby the Optionee makes an irrevocable election to exercise this Option as to all the Optioned Stock by instructing the Company’s broker to sell all the Exercised Shares and to remit the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and brokerage fees to the Optionee in cash (a “Cashless Sell-All Exercise”).  The Company reserves the right to permit the Optionee to exercise by means other than the Cashless Sell-All Exercise depending on developments in local laws.

Repatriation Requirement for PRC Nationals.  The Optionee understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, the Optionee may be required to repatriate immediately to China the proceeds from the Cashless Sell-All Exercise of this Option.  The Optionee further understands that such repatriation of the proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special foreign exchange account established by the Employer, the Company or an Affiliate in China, and the Optionee hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds from the Cashless Sell-All Exercise may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Optionee’s personal account.  In addition, the Optionee understands that, if proceeds from the Cashless Sell-All Exercise are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to the Optionee, and the Company does not guarantee any particular exchange rate and/or date on which funds will be converted.

CZECH REPUBLIC

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  Proceeds from the sale of Shares may be held in a cash account outside of the Czech Republic, and the Optionee no longer needs to report the opening and maintenance of a foreign account to the Czech National Bank (the “CNB”), unless the CNB specifically notifies the Optionee that such reporting will be required.  Upon request of the CNB, the Optionee may need to file a notification within 15 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which he or she purchases Shares.

NOTIFICATIONS

INDIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  Please note that proceeds from the sale of Shares must be repatriated to India within a reasonable period of time (i.e., two weeks).  Optionee should obtain a foreign inward remittance certificate (“FIRC”) from the bank for his or her records to document compliance with this requirement, in case evidence of such repatriation is requested by the Reserve Bank of India or the Employer.

ITALY

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Method of Payment.  Notwithstanding Paragraph C of the Option Agreement, due to financial regulations in Italy, when the Optionee exercises the Option, the Optionee must use a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan whereby the Optionee makes an irrevocable election to exercise this Option as to all the Optioned Stock by instructing the Company’s broker to sell all the Exercised Shares and to remit the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and brokerage fees to the Optionee in cash (a “Cashless Sell-All Exercise”).  The Company reserves the right to permit the Optionee to exercise by means other than the Cashless Sell-All Exercise depending on developments in local laws.

Data Privacy Notice and Consent.  The following provision replaces Paragraph J of the Option Agreement:

The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this section of this Appendix by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate for the exclusive purposes of implementing, administering, and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate hold certain personal information about him or her, including, without limitation, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company or any Affiliate, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).

The Optionee also understands that providing the Company with Data is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that his or her refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  The Controller of personal data processing is Trimble Navigation Limited, with registered offices at 935 Stewart Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085, United States of America, and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its representative in Italy is Trimble Italia SrL, Centro Torri Bianche, Palazzo Larice, 3, 20059 Vimercate (MI), Italy.

The Optionee understands that Data will not be publicized, but it may be transferred to banks, other financial institutions, or brokers involved in the management and administration of the Plan.  The Optionee understands that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP, or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company in the future.  The Optionee further understands that the Company, the Employer and/or any Affiliate will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company, the Employer and/or Affiliate may each further transfer Data to third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer of Data to a broker or other third party with whom the Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan.  Such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering, and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The Optionee understands that these recipients may be located in or outside of the European Economic Area, such as in the United States or elsewhere.  Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending all necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan, it will delete Data as soon as it has completed all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan.

The Optionee understands that Data-processing related to the purposes specified above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.

 
-40-

 

The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable local laws and regulations, does not require the Optionee’s consent thereto, as the processing is necessary to the performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  The Optionee understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, he or she has the right, without limitation, to access, delete, update, correct, or terminate, for legitimate reason, the Data-processing.  Furthermore, the Optionee is aware that Data will not be used for direct-marketing purposes.  In addition, Data provided can be reviewed and questions or complaints can be addressed by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative.

Plan Document Acknowledgment.  In accepting this Option, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan and the Option Agreement and has reviewed the Plan and the Option Agreement, including this Appendix, in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement, including this Appendix.

The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically approves the following provisions of the Option Agreement: the “Termination Period” provision in Part I; Paragraph F, “Tax Obligations”; Paragraph G, “No Guarantee of Continued Service”: Paragraph H, “Nature of Option Grant”; Paragraph I, “No Advice Regarding Grant”; Paragraph K, “Language”; Paragraph P, “Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Venue”; and the “Data Privacy Notice and Consent” in this Appendix.

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  The Optionee is required to report in his or her annual tax return: (a) any transfers of cash or Shares to or from Italy exceeding €10,000 or the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars; and (b) any foreign investments or investments (including proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) held outside of Italy exceeding €10,000 or the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars, if the investment may give rise to income in Italy.  The Optionee is exempt from the formalities in (a) if the investments are made through an authorized broker resident in Italy, as the broker will comply with the reporting obligation on the Optionee’s behalf.

JAPAN

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  If the Optionee acquires Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, the Optionee must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the purchase of the Shares.

In addition, if the Optionee pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the purchase of Shares when the Optionee exercises the Option, the Optionee must file a Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made.  The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.

A Payment Report is required independently from a Securities Acquisition Report.  Therefore, if the total amount that the Optionee pays upon a one-time transaction for exercising the Option and purchasing Shares exceeds ¥100,000,000, the Optionee must file both a Payment Report and a Securities Acquisition Report.

 
-41-

 

KOREA

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  To remit funds out of Korea to exercise the Option by paying the Exercise Price with cash, the Optionee must obtain a confirmation of the remittance by a foreign exchange bank in Korea.  This is an automatic procedure (i.e., the bank does not need to approve the remittance and the process should not take more than a day).  The Optionee likely will need to present to the bank processing the transaction supporting documentation evidencing the nature of the remittance.  If the Optionee receives US$500,000 or more from the sale of Shares, Korean exchange control laws require the Optionee to repatriate the proceeds to Korea within 18 months of the sale.

NETHERLANDS

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  The Optionee should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan.  In particular, the Optionee may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if he or she has inside information regarding the Company.

By accepting the grant of this Option and participating in the Plan, the Optionee acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information and further acknowledges that it is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules.

Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands.  “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of details concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate, which is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price.  The insider could be a Service Provider in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Service Providers working in the Netherlands (possibly including the Optionee) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Optionee had such inside information.

NEW ZEALAND

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Securities Law Acknowledgment.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she will receive the following documents in connection with the offer to purchase shares at exercise of this Option:

 
(i)
the Option Agreement, including this Appendix, which sets forth the terms and conditions of this Option;

 
(ii)
a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report and most recent financial reports have been made available to the Optionee to enable the Optionee to make informed decisions concerning participation in the Plan; and

a copy of the description of the Plan (the “Description”) (i.e., the Company’s Form S-8 Plan Prospectus under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended), and the Company will provide any attachments or documents incorporated by reference into the Description upon written request.  The documents incorporated by reference into the Description are updated periodically.  Should the Optionee request copies of the documents incorporated by reference into the Description, the Company will provide the Optionee with the most recent documents incorporated by reference.

RUSSIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

U.S. Transaction.  The Optionee understands that this Option shall be valid and this Option Agreement shall be concluded and become effective only when the executed Option Agreement is received by the Company in the United States.  Upon exercise of the Option, any Shares to be issued to the Optionee shall be delivered to Optionee through a bank or brokerage account in the United States.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  This Appendix, the Option Agreement, the Plan and any other materials that the Optionee may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia.  The issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia; hence, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering the securities or public circulation in Russia.

Exchange Control Information.  To remit funds out of Russia to exercise the Option by paying the Exercise Price with cash, the Optionee must remit the funds from a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia.  This requirement does not apply if the Optionee pays the Exercise Price by means of a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, such that there is no remittance of funds out of Russia.

Under current exchange control regulations, within a reasonably short time after sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan, the Optionee must repatriate the sale proceeds to Russia.  Such sale proceeds must be initially credited to the Optionee through a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia.  After the sale proceeds are initially received in Russia, they may be remitted further to foreign banks in accordance with Russian exchange control laws, subject to the following limitations: (i) the foreign account may be opened only for individuals; (ii) the foreign account may not be used for business activities; (iii) the Optionee must give notice to the Russian tax authorities about the opening/closing of each foreign account within one month of the account opening/closing; and (iv) the Optionee must notify the Russian tax authorities of the account balances on his or her foreign accounts as of the beginning of each calendar year.

SINGAPORE

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  This Option is being granted on a private basis and is, therefore, exempt from registration in Singapore.

Director Notification Requirement.  If the Optionee is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singaporean Affiliate, he or she must notify the Singaporean Affiliate in writing within two days of receiving or disposing of an interest (e.g., this Option) in the Company or an Affiliate, or within two days of becoming a director if such an interest exists at the time.

SPAIN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Nature of Option Grant.  This provision supplements Paragraph H of the Option Agreement:

In accepting this Option, the Optionee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its own discretion decided to grant stock options under the Plan to certain Service Providers throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or an Affiliate, other than as set forth in the Option Agreement.  Consequently, the Optionee understands that this Option is granted on the assumption and condition that this Option and any Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or an Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever.  Furthermore, the Optionee understands that he or she will not be entitled to continue vesting in this Option once his or her relationship with the Company or an Affiliate as a Service Provider ceases.  In addition, the Optionee understands that this Option would not be granted but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken, or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, any grant of or right to this Option shall be null and void.

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  The Optionee must declare the acquisition of Shares to the Direccion General de Política Comercial y de Inversiones Extranjeras (the “DGPCIE”) of the Ministerio de Economia for statistical purposes.  The Optionee must also declare ownership of any Shares with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the Shares are owned.  In addition, if the Optionee wishes to import the ownership title of the Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE.

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), the Optionee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made.  The Optionee will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) the Optionee’s name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) any further information that may be required.

SWEDEN

THAILAND

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  Under current exchange control regulations, the Optionee may remit funds up to US$1,000,000 per year to invest in securities abroad by submitting an application to an authorized agent (i.e., a commercial bank authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency).  Thus, if the Optionee exercises this Option by paying the Exercise Price in cash, he or she will be required to execute certain documents and submit them, together with certain documents relating to the Plan, to an authorized commercial bank.

If the Optionee exercises this Option by means of a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, no submission to a commercial bank must be made since no funds will be remitted out of Thailand.

The Optionee must repatriate all cash proceeds received from participation in the Plan to Thailand and convert such proceeds to Thai Baht within 360 days of repatriation or deposit the funds in a foreign exchange account with a Thai bank.  If the amount of the proceeds is equal to or greater than US$20,000, the Optionee must specifically report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Joint Election.  As a condition of participation in the Plan and the exercise of this Option, the Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with this Option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”).  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Optionee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election having been approved formally by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or election.  The Optionee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Optionee and any successor to the Company or the Employer.  The Optionee further agrees that the Company or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from the Optionee by any of the means set forth in Paragraph F of the Option Agreement.

If the Optionee does not enter into a Joint Election prior to the exercise of this Option, he or she will not be entitled to exercise this Option unless and until he or she enters into a Joint Election, and no Shares will be issued to the Optionee under the Plan, without any liability to the Company or the Employer.

Tax Obligations.  The following provision supplements Paragraph F of the Option Agreement:

The Optionee agrees that, if he or she does not pay or the Company or the Employer does not withhold from the Optionee, the full amount of Tax-Related Items that the Optionee owes upon exercise of this Option, or the release or assignment of this Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with this Option (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Optionee to the Company and/or the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event.  The Optionee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the official HMRC rate and immediately will be due and repayable by Optionee, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding such amount from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Optionee by the Company or the Employer, by withholding in Shares issued upon exercise of this Option or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from the Optionee.  The Optionee also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to the Optionee unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

 
-45-

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or an executive officer within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply.  In the event that the Optionee is a director or an executive officer and Tax-Related Items are not collected within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she will be responsible for reporting any income tax and National Insurance contributions (including Employer NICs) due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
 (U.S. AWARDEES)

Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as set forth in the Trimble Navigation Limited Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

Name:

Address:

You have been awarded the right to receive Common Stock of the Company or a cash equivalent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, as follows:

Award Number
 
   
Award Date
 
   
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded
 

Vesting Schedule

One hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest thirty-six (36) months after the Award Date.  Vesting of Restricted Stock Units shall at all times be subject to your continuing to be a Service Provider on the applicable date(s) of vesting.

Settlement

For each vested Restricted Stock Unit, you shall be entitled to receive (a) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting on such vesting date, or (b) a cash payment equal to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting on such vesting date and the Fair Market Value of one Share on such vesting date or (c) a combination of the foregoing.  Such payment shall be made in the form of whole Shares, cash or a combination of the foregoing at the Company’s discretion under the terms of the Plan, on or as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days, following the date of vesting.

Forfeiture

Upon the date that you cease to be a Service Provider, for any reason, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.  The date of ceasing to be a Service Provider will not be extended to include any notice of termination or similar period and shall be considered ceased on the last active day of service for the purposes of the Plan.

 
-47-

 

Tax Obligations

Regardless of any action the Company and/or your actual employer, if the Company is not your employer (collectively, the “Company”), takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  You further acknowledge that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Award Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company, or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

 
(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company; or

 
(b)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

 
(c)
withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement or from the cash payment received at settlement (if any) of the Restricted Stock Units.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.

Finally, you shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares, any cash payments receivable at settlement or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF YOUR EMPLOYER (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING AWARDED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS, OR RECEIVING CASH OR SHARES HEREUNDER).  YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR RIGHT OR YOUR EMPLOYER’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW.

 
Nature of Grant

In accepting the grant, you acknowledge that:

(1)            the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(2)            the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(3)            all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(4)            your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or any Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate your Service Provider relationship at any time;

(5)            you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(6)            the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Affiliate, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;

(7)            the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(8)            the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Affiliate;

(9)            the Restricted Stock Units grant and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or an Affiliate;

(11)          in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of your employment with the Company or any Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and you irrevocably release the Company and your actual employer, if the Company is not your employer, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

(12)          in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right, if any, to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of your Restricted Stock Units grant; and
 
(13)          the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits, if any, under the Plan will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.

Code Section 409A

The vesting and settlement of Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement are intended to qualify for the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code.  The Administrator reserves the right, to the extent the Administrator deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to ensure that the Restricted Stock Units qualify for exemption from or comply with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to these Restricted Stock Units.

APPENDIX TO

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(NON-U.S. AWARDEES)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix, which is part of the Award Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units and that will apply to you if you are in one of the countries listed below.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Award Agreement.

You agree that, if you do not pay or the Company or the Employer does not withhold from you, the full amount of Tax-Related Items that you owe upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or the release or assignment of the Restricted Stock Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Restricted Stock Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Company and/or the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official HMRC rate and immediately will be due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding such amount from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by the Company or the Employer, by withholding in Shares issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from you.  You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or a director within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply.  In the event that you are an executive officer or a director and Tax-Related Items are not collected within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable.  You acknowledge that you will be responsible for reporting any income tax and National Insurance contributions (including Employer NICs) due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.
