Patents, Trademarks, Licenses

The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks and licenses related to its products and has exclusive and non-exclusive rights to use a number of patents owned by others. In addition, patent applications on certain products are now pending, although there can be no assurance that patents will be issued. The Company is not dependent to any material extent on any single patent or group of patents.

Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business

The Company’s backlog by business segment for the past two fiscal years, as set forth on pages 13-4 to 13-6 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is incorporated into this section by reference. The Company’s backlog at June 30, 2009 was $2,885,284,015 and at June 30, 2008 was $3,651,285,185. Approximately 80% of the Company’s backlog at June 30, 2009 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s business generally is not seasonal in nature.

Environmental Regulation

The Company is subject to United States federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the United States federal “Superfund” law, under which the Company has been designated as a “potentially responsible party” and may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company is involved in environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites.

The Company believes that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management of efforts and expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have in the future, a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.

 

- 8 -


As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a reserve of $13,891,137 for environmental matters which are probable and reasonably estimable. This reserve is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties.

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $13,891,137 to a maximum of $74,197,967. The largest range for any one site is approximately $8,621,973. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of contamination, final determination of remedial action required, negotiations with federal and state agencies with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technologies, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of the other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or third-party recoveries.

Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

The Company’s primary energy source for each of its business segments is electric power. While the Company cannot predict future costs of such electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric power will be coal from substantial, proven coal reserves available to electric utilities. The Company is subject to governmental regulations in regard to energy supplies in the United States and elsewhere. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions of its operations due to energy curtailments.

Steel, brass, aluminum, elastomeric and thermoplastic materials and chemicals are the principal raw materials used by the Company. These materials are available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.

Employees

The Company employed 51,639 persons as of June 30, 2009, of whom approximately 27,917 were employed by foreign subsidiaries.

Business Segment Information

The Company’s net sales, segment operating income and assets by business segment and net sales and long-lived assets by geographic area for the past three fiscal years, as set forth on pages 13-14 to 13-15 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, are incorporated into this section by reference.

Acquisitions

During fiscal year 2009, the Company completed a number of acquisitions. The description of these transactions, as set forth on page 13-21 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risk factors, including, but not limited to those set forth below, any one of which could cause actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results. These risk factors should be considered together with information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors described below are those that the Company believes are currently the most significant. Additional risk factors not currently known to the Company or that the Company believes are immaterial also may impair the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to adverse changes in worldwide economic conditions and volatility in and tightening of the capital and credit markets.

The extended deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and the resulting volatility in and tightening of the capital and credit markets has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its distributors, customers and suppliers, and on the general economic activity in many of the industries and markets in which the Company and its distributors, customers and suppliers operate. These effects have, among other things, negatively impacted the level of capital expenditures and creditworthiness of the Company’s distributors, customers and suppliers, and, therefore, the Company’s revenues, operating profits and margins and order rates.

The Company remains focused on maintaining its financial strength by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash through various initiatives, including workforce reductions, salary freezes and short work weeks. There can be no assurance, however, that that these or any other initiatives or contingency plans implemented by the Company to further control costs will be successful.

The Company cannot predict the duration or severity of the deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and the resulting volatility in and tightening of the capital and credit markets or if or when conditions will improve. These conditions are highly unpredictable and beyond the Company’s control. If these conditions continue for a significant period of time or further deteriorate, however, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The Company is subject to risks relating to its foreign operations.

In fiscal 2009, approximately 44% of the Company’s net sales were derived from customers outside the United States. In addition, many of the Company’s manufacturing operations and suppliers are located outside the United States. The Company expects net sales from foreign markets to continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales. The Company’s foreign operations are subject to risk in addition to those risks of its domestic operations, including:

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

   

limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings;

 

   

transportation delays and interruptions;

 

- 10 -


   

political, social and economic instability and disruptions;

 

   

government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions;

 

   

the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

   

import and export controls;

 

   

labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;

 

   

the potential for nationalization of enterprises;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;

 

   

limitations on its ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; and

 

   

potentially adverse tax consequences.

If the Company is unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding its global business or adequately manage operational fluctuations internationally, the risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Demand for and supply of the Company’s products may be adversely affected by numerous factors, some of which the Company cannot predict or control, which would adversely affects its results of operations.

Numerous factors may affect the demand for and supply of the Company’s products, including:

 

   

changes in the market acceptance of its products;

 

   

increased competition in the markets it serves;

 

   

declines in the general level of industrial production; or

 

   

declines in the availability or increases in the prices of raw materials.

If any of these factors occur, the demand for and supply of the Company’s products could suffer, which would adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment.

The Company’s domestic and foreign operations are subject to significant competitive pressures. To compete successfully, the Company’s Industrial Segment and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment must excel in terms of product quality and innovation, customer service, manufacturing and distribution capability and price competitiveness and its Aerospace Segment must excel on the basis of technological and engineering capability, quality, delivery and service, and price competitiveness. The financial resources of certain of the Company’s competitors may put the Company at a competitive disadvantage.

The raw materials used in the Company’s production processes and by its suppliers of component parts are subject to price and supply fluctuations that could increase its costs of products and adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company’s supply of raw materials for its businesses could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing. Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated significantly in the past and significant increases could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and profit margins. Although the Company generally attempts to pass along increased raw

 

- 11 -


material prices to its customers in the form of price increases, there may be a time delay between the increased raw material prices and the Company’s ability to increase the price of its products, or the Company may be unable to increase the prices of its products due to pricing pressure or other factors.

The Company’s suppliers of component parts may significantly and quickly increase their prices in response to increases in costs of raw materials that they use to manufacture the component parts. As a result, the Company may not be able to increase its prices commensurately with its increased costs. Consequently, the Company’s results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company may face limitations on its ability to complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses.

The Company expects to continue its strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses with complementary products and services that it believes will enhance its operations and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to find suitable businesses to purchase or that it will be able to acquire such businesses on acceptable terms.

In addition, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate successfully any business that it purchases into its existing business or that any acquired businesses will be profitable. The successful integration of new businesses depends on the Company’s ability to manage these new businesses and cut excess costs. If the Company is unable to complete the integration of new businesses in a timely and effective manner, its results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Potential product liability risks exist from the products that the Company sells.

The Company’s businesses expose it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of its products and the products of third-party vendors that it uses or resells. Although the Company currently maintains what it believes to be suitable and adequate product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its insurance on acceptable terms or that its insurance will provide adequate protection against all potential liabilities. In the event of a claim against it, a lack of sufficient insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Moreover, even if the Company maintains adequate insurance, a successful claim could still have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

The Company’s future growth is partly dependent on the development of new products and technologies.

The markets the Company operates in are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and frequent introductions of new products and services. The Company’s ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect its competitive position and often requires the investment of significant resources. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may significantly reduce future revenues and adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

 

- 12 -


The Company’s future growth is partly dependent on the preservation of its intellectual property.

Protecting the Company’s intellectual property is critical to its innovation efforts. The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks and licenses related to its products and has exclusive and non-exclusive rights under patents owned by others. The Company’s intellectual property may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties or the Company may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms. In addition, the global nature of the Company’s business could present increased risks that the Company’s intellectual property will be subject to infringement or other unauthorized use outside of the United States. In such case, the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights by legal recourse or otherwise may be limited, particularly in countries where laws or enforcement practices are undeveloped or do not recognize or protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States. Unauthorized use of the Company’s intellectual property rights or inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights could adversely impact the Company’s competitive position and results of operations.

The Company may be adversely affected by the impact of environmental and safety regulations to which it is subject.

The Company’s operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, it is subject to various United States federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as foreign laws, designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for non-compliance and liability for response costs, property damages and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or the exposure to, hazardous materials. Among other laws, the Company is subject to the United States federal “Superfund” law, under which it has been designated as a “potentially responsible party” and may be liable for clean-up costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list. The Company could incur substantial costs as a result of non-compliance with or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under environmental laws, including the Superfund law.

The Company may be subject to more stringent environmental laws in the future. If more stringent environmental laws are enacted in the future, these laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company may be adversely affected by litigation or other regulatory proceedings.

The Company is a defendant from time to time in lawsuits and regulatory proceedings relating to its business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such litigation or proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

- 13 -


The Company does business with the United States government and as such is subject to government regulations.

In addition to normal business risks, doing business with the United States government subjects the Company to unusual risks, including dependence on the level of government spending and compliance with and changes in governmental procurement regulations. Agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification, either at the convenience of the government or for the Company’s failure to perform under the applicable contract. The Company is subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement regulations. If the Company were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any such investigation, it could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Changes in the Company’s tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect profitability.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix among earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets or tax laws. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to ongoing audits by United States federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-United States authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts reserved, future financial results may include unfavorable adjustments to the Company’s tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The amount of expenses recorded for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans is dependent on changes in market interest rates and the value of plan assets, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns. Significant changes in market interest rates and decreases in the fair value of plan assets and investment losses on plan assets may adversely impact the Company’s future results of operations.

ITEM 2. Properties. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Cleveland, Ohio and, at June 30, 2009, the Company had 316 manufacturing plants and 307 distribution centers and sales and administrative offices throughout the world, none of which were individually material to its operations. The facilities are situated in 40 states within the United States and in 47 other countries. The Company owns the majority of its manufacturing plants and distribution centers, and its leased properties primarily consist of sales and administrative offices. The number of facilities used by each of the Company’s operating segments is summarized by type and geographic location in the tables below:

 

     Type of Facility

The Company believes that its properties have been adequately maintained, are in good condition generally and are suitable and adequate for its business as presently conducted. The extent to which the Company uses its properties varies by property and from time to time. The Company believes that its restructuring efforts have brought capacity levels closer to present and anticipated needs. Most of the Company’s manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling additional volume increases.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings. Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations since April 27, 2007, when a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida issued a subpoena to Parker ITR and the Company requiring the production of documents, in particular documents related to communications with competitors and customers related to Parker ITR’s business unit that manufactures marine hose, typically used in oil transfer. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions.

On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On August 2, 2007, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) requested that Parker ITR submit a report to the JFTC on specific topics related to its investigation of marine hose suppliers. Brazilian competition authorities and Korean competition authorities commenced their investigations on November 14, 2007 and January 17, 2008, respectively. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Australia on May 29, 2009 and named Parker ITR as a respondent. Parker ITR and the Company have cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose and continue to cooperate with the investigations that remain ongoing.

In addition, during this time period, four class action lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Florida: Shipyard Supply LLC v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed May 17, 2007; Expro Gulf Limited v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed June 6, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Trelleborg Industrie S.A., et al., filed June 25, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Caleca, et al., filed July 12, 2007; and one in the Southern District of New York: Weeks Marine, Inc. v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed July 27, 2007. On September 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint. Plaintiffs have since filed another amended consolidated complaint naming prior owners of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose. Plaintiffs generally seek treble damages, a permanent injunction, attorneys’ fees, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

The time period for the alleged illegal activities by Parker ITR’s marine hose business unit varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, the Department of Justice, which initiated the April 2007 grand jury subpoenas, alleges that the challenged activities commenced in the United States in 1999 and ended May 2, 2007. The Department of Justice’s investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate.

In Brazil, Parker ITR filed a procedural defense in January 2008. The Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s filing. The Brazilian competition authorities’ investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate. The Brazilian authorities appear to be investigating the period from 1999 through May 2007. Because the Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s initial filing, the potential outcome of this investigation is uncertain and will depend on the resolution of numerous issues not yet addressed at the current preliminary stage of the investigation.

In Korea, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) submitted several questionnaires to Parker ITR in connection with their investigation of Parker ITR’s marine hose bidding activities in Korea from 1999 to May 2, 2007. Parker ITR responded to each questionnaire and continues to cooperate with the KFTC. The KFTC issued its final report on July 2, 2009, which imposed a fine of KRW 42 million (which, as of July 31, 2009, was approximately $34 thousand) on Parker ITR. Parker ITR must pay the fine on or before September 8, 2009.

The JFTC completed its investigation and issued an administrative order requiring Parker ITR to take certain actions, including passing a board resolution that prohibited the challenged conduct in the future and to send letters to Parker ITR’s customers and competitors in Japan stating that Parker ITR would not engage in the challenged conduct in Japan in the future. Parker ITR has complied with the JFTC administrative order.

On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Commission treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on April 10, 2009.

Counsel for Parker ITR accepted service related to the ACCC’s statement of claim. A hearing was held in the matter on July 7, 2009. The matter was continued until certain other respondents are served. The ACCC appears to be investigating conduct for the period beginning as early as 1994 through 2007.

The Company and Parker ITR have reached a settlement of the class action litigation in the United States, which is subject to court approval. On February 17, 2009, Parker ITR entered into a separate agreement to settle possible private causes of action outside the United States.

(1) On August 16, 1990, the Company publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to 3.0 million shares of its common stock. From time to time, the Board of Directors has adjusted the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program. On January 28, 2009, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was equal to 10 million. Subject to this overall limitation, each fiscal year the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The information set forth on pages 13-2 to 13-12 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts, comprised of puts and calls, to reduce its exposure in both freely convertible and non-freely convertible foreign currencies. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s foreign locations enter into various financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of non-performance by the Company. The total carrying amount and fair value amount of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt, thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $8,033,803.

For further discussion, see the discussion of Significant Accounting Policies Footnote on page 13-20 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The information set forth on pages 13-13 to 13-40 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of fiscal year 2009.

Exhibit 4(a)

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO

SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of July 6, 2009 by and among Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America (“Wells Fargo”).

WHEREAS, the Company and National City Bank, as Rights Agent (“National City”) are parties to a certain Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement dated as of February 8, 2007 (the “Rights Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company has (a) provided National City with written notice of the Company’s election to remove National City as Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement effective as of the date hereof, and (b) appointed Wells Fargo as successor Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement effective as of the date hereof pursuant to a certain Transfer Agent Services Agreement of even date herewith by and between the Company and Wells Fargo; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Wells Fargo desire to further document such removal and appointment by amending the Rights Agreement as and to the extent set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and Wells Fargo agree as follows:

1. Effect of Appointment. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Rights Agreement, Wells Fargo is, by virtue of its appointment by the Company as successor Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement, vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if Wells Fargo had been originally named as Rights Agent pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

2. Amendments to the Rights Agreement and Related Documents.

(a) From and after the date hereof, and so long as Wells Fargo shall continue to serve as the Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement, all references to the Rights Agent or National City contained in the Rights Agreement, any of the Rights Certificates issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, any legend referring to the Rights Agreement contained on any outstanding stock certificates, or any other certificate, instrument or other document referring to, relating to or issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, shall be deemed automatically to refer to Wells Fargo without the necessity of any further restatement, amendment or other modification of such references.

(b) The third paragraph of Section 2.6(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Promptly after the Separation Time, the Company will notify the Rights Agent of such Separation Time and will deliver Rights Certificates


executed by the Company to the Rights Agent for countersignature, and, subject to Section 3.1(b), the Rights Agent shall countersign (either manually or by facsimile) and deliver such Rights Certificates to the holders of the Rights pursuant to Section 2.3(c). No Rights Certificate shall be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned by the Rights Agent.

(c) Section 2.10 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

2.10 Delivery and Cancellation of Certificates.

  (a) All Rights Certificates surrendered upon exercise or for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Rights Agent, be delivered to the Rights Agent and, in any case, shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. The Company may at any time deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation any Rights Certificates previously countersigned and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Rights Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. No Rights Certificates shall be countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Rights Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

  (b) The Rights Agent shall (i) destroy all cancelled Rights Certificates and (ii) subject to applicable law, maintain records (in hard copy or electronically in a retrievable database) of all cancelled Rights Certificates and all Rights Certificates which have been destroyed by the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall maintain such records for the time period required by applicable law. Upon written request of the Company, the Rights Agent shall provide copies of such records to the Company or its designee.

3. Other References. From and after the date hereof, each reference in the Rights Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar import referring to the Rights Agreement shall mean and refer to the Rights Agreement as amended and supplemented hereby. The Rights Agreement, as amended and supplemented hereby, is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

  (g) Change in Control: The occurrence of one of the following events:

 

  (1)

A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1(g)(2) of this Program). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the

percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

 

  (2) A change in effective control of the Company, which occurs on either of the following dates:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1(g)(1) of this Program). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

 

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

The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities

 

3


 

associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall not result in a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets if such transfer is to:

 

  (i) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

 

  (ii) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;

 

  (iii) a person or group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company; or

 

  (iv) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in Section 1(g)(3)(iii) of this Program.

Notwithstanding Sections 1(g)(1), 1(g)(2)(i) and 1(g)(3) above, the consummation of a Business Combination shall not be deemed a Change in Control if, immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 50% of the total voting power of the Surviving Corporation or, if applicable, the Parent Corporation of such Surviving Corporation, is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination); and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination; (b) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation; and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Company’s Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in Section 1(g)(1) or 1(g)(2)(i) above shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (a) an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (c) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (d) the acquisition of stock of the Company from the Company.

  (i) an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

  (ii) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

5


  (iii) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities;

 

  (iv) a Non-Control transaction (as defined in paragraph (3));

 

  (v) as pertains to a Participant, any acquisition by the Participant or any group of persons (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) including the Participant (or any entity in which the Participant or a group of persons including the Participant, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such entity’s outstanding voting interests); or

 

  (vi) the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, if a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (vi) does not constitute a Corporate Change Vesting Event under this paragraph (1);

 

  (2) individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (2), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;

6


 

Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination;

  (ii) the Business Combination is effected by means of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Corporate Change Vesting Event under this paragraph (3); or

 

  (4) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Change Vesting Event shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Corporate Change Vesting Event would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Corporate Change Vesting Event shall then occur.

7


reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Corporate Change Vesting Event, then for all purposes of this Program, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Corporate Change Vesting Event for such Participant.

  (b) the Actuarial Value of the monthly benefit described in Section 3.03(d), discounted (using the Specified Rate in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment) from the scheduled date of commencement of payment of the PRP benefit to the scheduled date of commencement of the monthly supplemental retirement benefit.

3.04 Amount of Early Retirement Supplemental Benefit. The monthly supplemental retirement benefit payable to a Participant who retires prior to Normal Retirement Date shall be an amount equal to  1/12th of 55 percent of the Highest Average Three-Year Compensation, reduced by all of the following that are applicable:

 

  (a) in the case of a Participant who does not have at least 15 years of Service at the time of his or her retirement, .3055 percent for each month that his or her Service is less than 15 years;

 

  (b) after applying Section 3.04(a) if applicable, .1515 percent for each of the first 60 months by which commencement of the benefit precedes Normal Retirement Date, and by ..3030 percent for each additional month by which commencement of the benefit precedes Normal Retirement Date; provided, however, that if the Participant has at least 30 years of Service, and entitlement to payment is a result of a Change in Control, the .1515 shall be reduced to .07575, and the .3030 shall be reduced to .1515;

 

  (c) any amounts described in Sections 3.03(b)-(h); and

 

  (d) the excess, if any, of:

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, if the Participant’s PRP monthly benefit will commence to be paid 5 years later than the Participant’s monthly supplemental retirement benefit under this Program in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(iii) of the PRP, then the amount of the Participant’s monthly supplemental retirement benefit shall be the monthly single life actuarial equivalent (determined using the assumptions specified in this Program) of the excess of:

 

16


  (a) the present value (using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment) of the amount of the monthly benefit determined under the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, disregarding Section 3.03(d), over

Anything in this Program notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, distribution or acceleration of vesting of any benefit hereunder would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with respect to such excise tax, then the Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional payment calculated as set forth in the Change in Control Severance Agreement with respect to such benefit hereunder; provided, however, that there shall be no duplication of such additional payment under this Program and the Change in Control Severance Agreement, and provided further that any such payment shall be made by the end of the calendar year after the Participant pays the excise tax (and interest or penalties incurred), or as otherwise required by Section 409A of the Code.

 

4. Payment of Benefits

4.01 Commencement of Benefits. Subject to Sections 4.02 (a) through (f), supplemental retirement benefits shall be paid or commence to be paid to an eligible Participant as of the first day of the month following Termination of Employment and if applicable terminating with the month in which the death of such Participant occurs; provided, however, that supplemental retirement benefits shall be paid or commence to be paid to a Specified Employee on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment with the present value of a Lump Sum Payment referred to in Section 4.02(a) determined based on the Participant’s age on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment and the actuarial assumptions in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment and in the case of payments made in the form of an annuity shall include any payments that would have been made between the Participant’s Termination of Employment and the actual commencement of payment if the Participant had not been a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by Section 4.02(b), payment of a Participant’s supplemental retirement benefit shall commence or be made on the date that is five years from the date payment would otherwise commence or be made under this Section 4.01.

4.02 Payments Under Certain Situations.

 

  (a)

Initial Election of Payment Form. To the extent permitted by Section 1.409A-2(a)(5) of the Regulations, within 30 days of the time an individual is designated as a Participant under this Program, he may elect, on his or her initial

 

17


 

Participation Agreement, to receive payment of his or her supplemental retirement benefit under this Program in the form of a single Lump Sum Payment, or in the form of a single life annuity. In the event that a Participant fails to make a valid election, the Participant’s supplemental retirement benefit under this Program shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity.

 

  (b) One-Time Change by Participant. In addition to any election pursuant to Section 4.02(c) or 4.02(d), a Participant shall be allowed a one-time election to change the form of payment of his or her supplemental retirement benefit; provided, however, that:

 

  (1) any such election shall not be effective for at least 12 months following the date made; and

 

  (2) as a result of any such election, payment shall be delayed for 5 years from the date the payment was scheduled to commence or to be made (taking into account any delay in payment or commencement of payment under Section 4.01 on account of a Participant’s status as a Specified Employee).

 

  (c) Changes Between Actuarially Equivalent Forms of Annuity. A Participant may elect at any time prior to Termination of Employment to convert his or her supplemental retirement benefit payable as an annuity to any of the Actuarially Equivalent forms of annuity offered under the Consolidated Plan.

  (f) Special Rule Applicable to Specified Employees. If a Specified Employee dies after Termination of Employment but prior to commencement of benefits, the Specified Employee’s Beneficiary shall receive a payment as of the first of the month following the Specified Employee’s date of death equal to the aggregate of the monthly payments that would have been made to the Specified Employee in accordance with Section 4.01 but substituting the Specified Employee’s date of death for the actual commencement of payment; provided however that if the Specified Employee’s supplemental retirement benefit is payable in the form of a lump sum, such amount shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4.03 but substituting the Specified Employee’s date of death for the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. Any additional amounts payable to the Specified Employee’s Beneficiary shall be determined as of the Specified Employee’s date of death in accordance with the form of payment applicable to the Specified Employee as of the Specified Employee’s Termination of Employment.

4.03 Determination of the Lump Sum Payment.

 

  (a) If the Participant is a Specified Employee immediately prior to Termination of Employment, the Lump Sum Payment referred to in Section 4.02(a) shall be equal to the sum of:

 

  (1) the aggregate monthly benefits the Participant would have received under the Single Life Annuity form of payment prior to the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment if the Participant were not a Specified Employee; plus

 

  (2) the excess of:

 

  (i) the present value (using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment), determined as of the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment, of the monthly benefit determined under Section 3.03 or 3.04, as applicable, disregarding Section 3.03(d) and the monthly “add-on” benefit as set forth on Addendum XV of the Consolidated Plan (if applicable) included in Section 3.03(b), over

 

  (ii) the sum of:

 

19


  (A) the present value (as defined in the Consolidated Plan) of the “add-on” benefit set forth on Addendum XV of the Consolidated Plan if applicable) included in Section 3.03(b), plus

 

  (B) the Actuarial Value of the monthly benefit described in Section 3.03(d), provided that if the Participant’s PRP benefit will be paid 5 years later than the Participant’s SERP benefit in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(iii) of the PRP, the amount referred to in (B) above shall equal the lump sum Actuarial Value of the monthly benefit described in Section 3.03(d), discounted (using the Specified Rate in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment) from the scheduled date of payment of such benefit to the scheduled date of payment of the SERP Lump Sum Payment.

If the Participant is not a Specified Employee immediately prior to Termination of Employment, the Lump Sum Payment referred to in Section 4.02(a) shall be equal to the excess of: (1) the present value (using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment) of the monthly benefit determined under Section 3.03 or 3.04, as applicable, disregarding Section 3.03(d) and the monthly “add-on” benefit as set forth on Addendum XV of the Consolidated Plan (if applicable) included in Section 3.03(b), over (2) the sum of (i) the present value (as defined in the Consolidated Plan) of the “add-on” benefit as set forth in Addendum XV of the Consolidated Plan (if applicable) included in Section 3.03(b) plus (ii) the Actuarial Value of the monthly benefit described in Section 3.03(d), provided that if the Participant’s PRP benefit will be paid 5 years later than the Participant’s SERP benefit in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(iii) of the PRP, the amount referred to in (ii) above shall equal the lump sum Actuarial Value of the monthly benefit described in Section 3.03(d), discounted (using the Specified Rate in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment) from the scheduled date of payment of such benefit to the scheduled date of payment of the SERP Lump Sum Payment.

For purposes of this Section 4.03(a), present value for a Participant who entered the Program before July 1, 2006 shall be determined assuming that the Participant lives the number of years equal to his or her Life Expectancy on the date of his or her Termination of Employment (or, in the case of a Specified Employee, on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment). For purposes of this Section 4.03(a), Actuarial Value shall be determined as provided under the PRP.

 

20


  (b) The Change in Control Lump Sum Payment referred to in Section 4.02(e) shall be equal to the amount determined under Section 4.03(a) using the following assumptions:

 

  (1) present value is determined using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table;

 

  (2) for purposes of determining present value for a Participant who entered the Program before July 1, 2006, the Participant (or, if applicable, Recipient) lives the number of years equal to his or her Life Expectancy (calculated as of the date which includes any additional Service credited hereunder);

 

  (3) Actuarial Value shall be determined as provided under the PRP; and

 

  (4) with respect to any benefit to be deducted as an offset as described in Section 3.03(b) through (i), the Participant terminated employment with the Company on the date of the Change in Control and began to receive such benefits at the earliest date thereafter permitted under the applicable plan, agreement or statute.

4.04 Certain Matters Following a Lump Sum Payment.

 

  (a) A Participant who has received a Change in Control Lump Sum Payment pursuant to Section 4.02(e) shall thereafter:

 

  (1) while in the employ of the Company, continue to accrue benefits under the Program; and

 

  (2) be eligible for further benefits under Section 4.01 or 4.02. The amount of such benefit shall be determined by:

 

  (i) calculating the benefit that would be payable to the Participant if there had been no previous Change in Control Lump Sum Payment;

 

  (ii) determining the present lump sum value of such benefit, using the Specified Rate and the Mortality Table and, for a Participant who entered the Program before July 1, 2006, assuming the Participant lives the number of years equal to his or her Life Expectancy on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment;

 

  (iii) determining the present lump sum value of the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment, assuming the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment had earned interest at the average Specified Rate in effect from the time of payment of the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment until the date of Termination of Employment;

 

21


  (iv) reducing the amount determined in (ii) by the amount determined in (iii); and

 

  (v) if applicable, converting the amount determined in (iv) to an Actuarially Equivalent single life only form of payment.

 

5. Disability Benefits

5.01 Amount. If a Participant suffers a Disability, the Company shall pay the supplemental retirement benefit described in Section 3.02 to the Participant; provided, however, that the provisions of Article 4 regarding payment to a Specified Employee and the 5-year delay of payments following certain elections shall be disregarded for purposes of the payment of benefits pursuant to this Article 5.

5.02 Form of Disability Benefits. A Participant’s disability benefit pursuant to this Article 5 shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity; provided, however, that if the Participant is married to a person who has been the Participant’s spouse for at least one year immediately prior to the date of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant’s disability benefit shall be paid in the form of a joint and 100% survivor annuity.

5.03 Time of Payment of Disability Benefits. Payment of a Participant’s disability benefit shall commence as of the first of the month following the Participant’s Disability.

 

6. Death Benefits

6.01 Eligibility. If a Participant dies after completing 120 [60 as of 04/22/09] calendar months of Service (without regard to the requirements of Section 2.04) but prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, his or her Beneficiary shall be eligible for a benefit under this Article 6.

6.02 Benefit Amount.

 

  (a) The amount of the benefit payable under this Article 6 to a deceased Participant’s Beneficiary shall be equal to the present value (using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death) of the total monthly payments the Beneficiary would have received had the Participant retired on the day before his or her death after having effectively elected to receive payment in the form of a Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity under the Program, with his or her Beneficiary as Contingent Annuitant under such option; provided, that:

 

  (1)

in lieu of the offset for the Participant’s primary Social Security benefit under Section 3.03(g), the benefit to the Beneficiary shall be offset by 50% of the primary or survivor Social Security benefit to which the

 

22


 

Beneficiary is entitled at the earliest date as of which such payments become payable; and

 

  (2) in lieu of the offset for the Consolidated Plan benefit set forth in Section 3.03(b) (and/or any other retirement benefit under any defined benefit arrangement described in Sections 3.03(c), (d), or (h)), the benefit to the Beneficiary shall be offset by the Qualified Plan Death Benefit. For purposes of this Section 6.02(a), present value for the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant who entered the Program before July 1, 2006 shall be determined assuming that the Beneficiary lives the number of years equal to his or her Life Expectancy on the date of death of the Participant.

 

  (b) If the estate is the death beneficiary as a result of the Participant not having a Beneficiary, the Participant’s estate shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value (using the Specified Rate and Mortality Table in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death) of the total monthly payments that would have been paid to the Participant assuming the Participant had not died but rather:

 

  (1) retired on the day before the date of his or her death (or the first day of the month following the time he would have reached age 55, if later);

 

  (2) elected a 10-Year Certain Annuity; and

 

  (3) received 120 monthly payments. For purposes of this Section 6.02(b), present value for the estate of a deceased Participant who entered the Program before July 1, 2006 shall be determined assuming that the Participant had lived the number of years equal to his or her Life Expectancy on the date of his or her death.

 

  (c) If the Participant dies before reaching the age that is ten years prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, then the monthly payments used to determine the death benefit under Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b), as applicable, shall be further reduced by .3030 for each month that the Participant’s death preceded his or her Normal Retirement Date.

6.03 Benefit Payments. The benefit under this Article 6 shall be paid to the deceased Participant’s Beneficiary, or, if no such Beneficiary, to the Participant’s estate, in a single lump sum payment as of the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death, and the provisions of Article 4 regarding payment to a Specified Employee and the 5-year delay of payments following certain elections shall be disregarded for purposes of the payment of benefits pursuant to this Article 6.

 

23


7. Non-Competition

7.01 Condition of Payment. Payment of supplemental retirement benefits under the Program shall be subject to the condition that the Participant or retiree-Recipient shall not have engaged in competition (as defined in Section 7.02) with the Company at any time prior to the date of such payment; provided, however, that this Section 7.01 shall not apply to a Participant following his or her Termination of Employment if such Termination of Employment occurs after the date of a Corporate Change Vesting Event that occurs at the time the Participant is actively employed by the Affiliated Group.

7.02 Competition. Competition for purposes of the Program shall mean assuming an ownership position or a consulting, management, employee or director position with a business engaged in the manufacture, processing, purchase or distribution of products of the type manufactured, processed or distributed by the Affiliated Group; provided, however, that in no event shall ownership of less than two percent of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors of a corporation with a class of equity securities held of record by more than 500 persons in itself be deemed Competition; and provided further, that all of the following shall have taken place:

 

  (a) the Secretary of the Company shall have given written notice to the Participant or retiree-Recipient that, in the opinion of the Committee, the Participant or retiree-Recipient is engaged in Competition within the meaning of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02, specifying the details;

 

  (b) the Participant or retiree-Recipient shall have been given a reasonable opportunity, upon receipt of such notice, to appear before and to be heard by the Committee with respect to his or her views regarding the Committee’s opinion that the Participant or retiree-Recipient engaged in Competition;

 

  (c) following any hearing pursuant to Section 7.02(b), the Secretary of the Company shall have given written notice to the Participant or retiree-Recipient that the Committee determined that the Participant or retiree-Recipient is engaged in Competition; and

 

  (d) the Participant or retiree-Recipient shall neither have ceased to engage in such Competition within thirty days from his or her receipt of notice of such determination nor diligently taken all reasonable steps to that end during such thirty-day period and thereafter.

 

8. Beneficiary Designation

The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is submitted in writing to the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Committee.

 

24


The submission of a new Beneficiary designation shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of a Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation shall revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary and unless in the case of marriage the Participant’s new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Participant shall consent to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse, and the spouse’s consent shall be witnessed by a notary public.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Committee shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the estate of the last to die of the Participant and the Beneficiaries.

 

9. General Provisions

9.01 Claims Procedure. The Company shall notify a Participant in writing, within ninety (90) days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Program. If the Company determines that a Participant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth:

 

  (a) the specific reasons for such denial;

 

  (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Program on which the denial is based;

 

  (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed; and

 

  (d) an explanation of the Program’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Company determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Company shall notify the Participant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

9.02 Review Procedure. If a Participant is determined by the Company not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Participant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Participant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Company. The petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition, the Company shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Company in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Company shall notify the Participant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the

 

25


Participant and the specific provisions of the Program on which the decision is based. If the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Participant’s Beneficiary.

9.03 ERISA Plan. The Program is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for “a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

9.04 Trust. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Program. At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Program. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Benefits paid to a Participant from any such trust shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company under the Program.

9.05 Rights of Participants. Except as expressly provided in any grantor trust agreement established by the Company:

 

  (a) no Participant or Recipient shall have any right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Program;

 

  (b) nothing contained in the Program shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Recipient or any other person;

 

  (c) to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company; and

 

  (d) all payments to be made under the Program shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of amounts payable under the Program.

9.06 Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration of the Program and for carrying out the provisions thereof. Any act authorized, permitted or required to be taken by the Company under the Program may be taken by action of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 relating to denial of claims and claims review procedure, any action taken by the Committee which is authorized, permitted or required under the Program shall be final and binding upon the Company, all persons who have or who claim an interest under the Program, and all third parties dealing with the Company.

 

26


9.07 Program Non-Contractual. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of any person to continue his or her employment with the Company, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment on the part of the Company to continue the employment or the rate of compensation of any such person for any period, and all employees of the Company shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Program had never been put into effect.

9.08 Non-Alienation of Retirement Rights or Benefits. No right or benefit under the Program shall at any time be subject in any manner to alienation or encumbrances. If any person shall attempt to, or shall, alienate or in any way encumber his or her rights or benefits under the Program, or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her bankruptcy or other event happening at any time any such benefits would otherwise be received by anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him or her, his or her interest in all such benefits shall automatically terminate and the same, at the discretion of the Company, shall be held or applied to or for the benefit of such person, his or her spouse, children, or other dependents as the Company may select.

9.09 Payment of Benefits to Others. If any person to whom a retirement benefit is payable is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, parent, brother, or sister, or any other individual deemed by the Company to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such person. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Program with respect to the retirement benefit so paid.

9.10 Notices. All notices provided for by the Program shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if and when mailed in the continental United States by registered or certified mail or personally delivered to the party entitled thereto at the address stated below or to such changed address as the addressee may have given by a similar notice:

Any such notice delivered in person shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery.

9.11 Amendment, Modification, Termination. The Program may at any time be terminated, or at any time or from time to time be amended or otherwise modified, prospectively, by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment or modification of the Program shall operate to:

 

  (a) reduce or terminate the benefit of a Participant participating in the Program at the time of any such termination, amendment, or modification;

 

27


  (b) terminate the participation of a Participant participating in the Program at the time of any such termination, amendment, or modification;

  (e) permit an acceleration of time of payment of a Participant’s benefit under the Program, other than:

 

  (1) as necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture, as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code;

 

  (2) as necessary to pay Federal Insurance Contribution (“FICA”) taxes and any resulting federal, state, local or foreign income taxes attributable to amounts deferred under the Program, subject to the limitations of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) of the Regulations;

 

  (3) in the event the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to one or more Participants, and then only in such amount as is included in income of such Participant(s) as a result of such failure;

 

  (4) due to a termination of the Program that meets the requirements of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations; or

 

  (5) as otherwise may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

9.12 Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by ERISA or the Code, the laws of the State of Ohio shall govern the Program and any disputes arising thereunder.

9.13 Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

9.14 Headings. All headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting any text to which they relate.

 

28

To the extent that a Participant’s supplemental retirement benefit under this Program is subject to reduction or off-set under the provisions of Section 3.03(a) through (i) or Section 3.04(a) through (d) for amounts that are to be paid over the Participant’s life expectancy and which are denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then for purposes of determining the supplemental retirement benefit payable under this Program, such reduction or off-set amounts shall be converted to the U.S. Dollar equivalent based on the Foreign Exchange Rate.

  (iv) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Corporation Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number of Corporation Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Corporation (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Corporation’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Corporation Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Corporation Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, if a Grantee’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control, and the Grantee reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, (a “Third Party”), then for all purposes of this Program, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control for such Grantee.

  (h) This Program and all action taken under it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

5. Term

This Program will continue in effect until terminated by the Board.

 

6. Awards That May Be Granted

The aggregate number of shares that may be subject to awards granted under this Program in any fiscal year, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below, will be equal to the sum of (a) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the number of shares outstanding on the last day of the previous fiscal year; plus (b) the number of shares that were available for the grant of awards in previous fiscal years; provided, that, in no event will the number of shares available for the grant of awards in any fiscal year exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the shares outstanding on the last day of the previous fiscal year. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of ISOs is 1,000,000. When an unexercised award lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited, the related shares may be available for distribution in connection with future awards but will continue to be subject to the 2.5% maximum described above. The assumption of awards granted by an organization acquired by the Corporation, or the grant of awards under this Program in substitution for any such awards, will not reduce the number of shares available in any fiscal year for the grant of awards under this Program.

 

7. Adjustments

In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase common stock of the Corporation at a price substantially below fair market value, or other similar corporate event affects the common stock of the Corporation such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Program, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (a) the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be the subject of Awards under this Program, (b) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (c) the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

8. Stock Options

One or more stock options can be granted to any eligible employee. No employee may be granted stock options for more than 500,000 (increased to 750,000 as of 10/1/07 stock split pursuant to adjustment provided in Section 7) shares of common stock in any three-year period. Each stock option so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose. The exercise price per share shall be specified by the grant, but shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of grant. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash, shares, or other consideration, or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Program and any applicable regulations of the Committee in effect at the time and valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the stock option. Fair Market Value on the exercise date shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the

 

- 7 -


Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Stock options granted hereunder may be designated as ISOs (except to the extent otherwise specified in this Section 8) or nonqualified stock options. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which stock options designated as ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any grantee during any year (under all plans of the Corporation and any Subsidiary thereof) exceeds $100,000, such stock options shall be treated as not being ISOs. ISOs must comply with requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

 

9. Stock Appreciation Rights

 

  (a) An SAR may be granted to an eligible employee as a separate award under this Plan. Any SAR granted under this Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, which shall include provisions that (i) such SAR shall entitle the holder upon exercise in accordance with such SAR and the regulations of the Committee, to receive from the Corporation that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the exercise date, of one share over the exercise price per share specified by the grant of such SAR (which shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of fair market value at the time of grant) times the number of shares specified in such SAR, or portion thereof, which is so exercised. Fair Market Value on the exercise date shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

 

  (b) Any stock option granted under this Program may include an SAR, either at the time of grant or by amendment. An SAR included in a stock option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that:

 

  (i) such SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, the stock option is exercisable; and

 

  (ii) such SAR shall entitle the optionee to surrender to the Corporation unexercised the stock option in which the SAR is included, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefor that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the fair market value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one share over the exercise price specified in such stock option times the number of shares specified in such stock option, or portion thereof, which is so surrendered.

 

  (c) In lieu of the right to receive all or any specified portion of such shares, an SAR may entitle the holder thereof to receive the cash equivalent thereof as specified by the grant.

 

  (d) An SAR may provide that such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on the business day preceding the expiration of such SAR or the related stock option, if any, if at such time such SAR has positive value and would have expired.

 

- 8 -


10. Restricted Stock

 

  (a) An award of restricted stock may be granted hereunder to an eligible employee, for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant. The terms and conditions of restricted stock, including the vesting period, shall be specified by the Committee, at its sole discretion, in the grant.

 

  (b) Any restricted stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of restricted stock awarded hereunder, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such award.

 

11. Incentive Shares

 

  (a) An incentive award may be granted hereunder in the form of shares. Incentive shares may be granted to an eligible employee for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant. The terms and conditions of incentive shares shall be specified by the grant.

 

  (b) Incentive shares may be paid to the grantee in a single installment or in installments and may be paid at the time of grant or deferred to a later date or dates. Each grant shall specify the time and method of payment as determined by the Committee.

 

12. Dividend Equivalent Rights; Interest Equivalents

 

  (a) A DER may be granted hereunder to an eligible employee, as a component of another award or as a separate award. The terms and conditions of DERs shall be specified by the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares (which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalents). Any such reinvestment shall be at fair market value at the time thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A DER granted as a component of another award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such DER shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award. A DER granted as a component of another award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other award.

 

  (b) Any award under this Program that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide by the grant for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the grant.

 

- 9 -


13. Deferral of Payment

With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of shares, cash or any combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a single future delivery. The Committee may also permit selected grantees to defer payment of some or all of their awards, as well as other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.

 

14. Termination of Employment

If the employment of a grantee terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid awards may be exercisable and paid only in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may provide, as the Committee deems appropriate, for the expiration, continuation, or acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the awards.

 

15. Detrimental Activity

The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred awards at any time if the grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Program or with the terms of any notice of award or if the grantee engages in detrimental activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an award, require a grantee to acknowledge that he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Program and of any notice of award and has not engaged in any detrimental activity.

 

16. Change in Control

The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, accelerate the date on which any outstanding option or SAR becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on the vesting of any restricted or incentive shares in the event of a proposed change in control of the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase stock options previously granted to any person who is at the time of any such transaction an employee of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the consideration per share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction and the option price.

 

17. Substitute Awards

The Committee may grant awards in substitution for, or upon the assumption of, awards granted by another corporation that is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of which is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The terms and provisions of any awards granted under this Section 16 may vary from the terms and provisions otherwise specified in this Program and may, instead, correspond to the terms and provisions of the awards granted by the other corporation.

 

- 10 -


18. Amendments to This Program; Amendments of Outstanding Awards

 

  (a) The Board can from time to time amend or terminate this Program, or any provision hereof. Approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be required only to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, regulation, or listing requirement, or to qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.

 

  (b) The Committee may, in its discretion, amend the terms of any award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of any grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in part, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any award.

 

19. Withholding Taxes

The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Program any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver shares or securities of the Corporation upon exercise of a stock option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, upon delivery of restricted stock or incentive shares, or upon exercise, settlement, or payment of any other award under this Program, that the grantee of such award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes. Any award under this Program may provide by the grant that the grantee of such award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the granting authority, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in shares. The grantee shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is determinable, shares previously owned by such grantee or a portion of the shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such grantee pursuant to such award having a fair market value equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes to be paid in shares.

 

20. Grants of Awards to Employees Who are Foreign Nationals

Without amending this Program, but subject to the limitations specified in Section 18 above, the Committee can grant, amend, administer, annul, or terminate awards to eligible employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Program as may in the judgment of the granting authority be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Program.

 

21. Rights of Employees

Nothing in this Program will confer upon any grantee the right to continued employment by the Corporation or limit in any way the Corporation’s right to terminate any grantee’s employment at will.

This Program was amended and restated on August 15, 1996, October 22, 1997 and January 28, 2009.

- 6 -


  (d) To the extent that Shares subject to an outstanding Award are not delivered to a Grantee by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such Award or by reason of the tendering or withholding of Shares to satisfy all or a portion the tax withholding obligations relating to an Award, then such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. If the exercise price of any Stock Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares (by actual delivery or attestation), only the number of shares issued to the participant net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed to be delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. When an unexercised Award lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited, the related Shares may be available for distribution in connection with future Awards.

  (e) The assumption of Awards granted by an organization acquired by the Corporation, or the grant of Awards under this Plan in substitution for any such Awards, will not reduce the number of Shares available for the grant of Awards under this Plan.

 

6. Adjustments

In the event that the Committee shall determine that any (a) stock dividend, stock split, combination of Shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, or (b) merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing affects the Shares of the Corporation such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of Shares which thereafter may be the subject of Awards under this Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced.

 

7. Stock Options

 

  (a)

One or more Stock Options may be granted to any eligible Employee. No Employee may be granted Stock Options for more than 1,000,000 (increased to 1,500,000 as of 10/1/07 stock split pursuant to adjustments provided in Section 6) Shares in any three-year period. Each Stock Option so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose. The exercise price per Share shall be specified by the Award, but shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of the Award. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash, Shares, or other consideration, or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Plan and any applicable regulations of the Committee in effect at the time and valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date. The Fair Market Value on the exercise date shall be

 

- 7 -


 

determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law. All Stock Options granted hereunder shall have a maximum life of no more than ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the Award. In no event shall any Stock Option vest sooner than one (1) year from date of issuance of the Award except in the event of a Change in Control.

 

  (b) Stock Options granted hereunder may be designated as ISOs (except to the extent otherwise specified in this Section7) or nonqualified Stock Options. ISOs may be granted only to Eligible Employees which meet the definition of “employees” under Section 3401(c) of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Stock Options designated as ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Grantee during any year (under all plans of the Corporation and any Subsidiary thereof) exceeds $100,000, such stock options shall be treated as not being ISOs. ISOs and Awards thereof must comply with all of the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

 

  (c) The Committee shall not adjust or amend the exercise price of Stock Options previously awarded to any Grantee, whether through amendment, cancellation and replacement grant, or any other means.

 

  (d) The Committee may grant reload Stock Options, separately or together with another Stock Option, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, the Grantee would be granted a new Stock Option when the payment of the exercise price of a previously granted Stock Option is made by the delivery of Shares owned by the Grantee, which new Stock Option would be an option to purchase the number of Shares not exceeding the number of Shares so provided as consideration upon the exercise of the previously granted Stock Option to which such reload Stock Option relates. Reload Stock Options may be granted with respect to Stock Options previously granted under the Plan or any other Stock Option plan of the Corporation. Reload Stock Options shall have a per Share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant of the reload Stock Option. Any Reload Option shall be subject to availability of sufficient Shares for grant under the Plan.

 

8. Stock Appreciation Rights

 

  (a) An SAR may be granted to an eligible Employee as a separate Award hereunder. No Employee may be granted SARs for more than 1,000,000 (increased to 1,500,000 as of 10/1/07 stock split pursuant to adjustments provided in Section 6) Shares in any three-year period. Any SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that (i) such SAR shall entitle the Grantee, upon exercise thereof in accordance with such SAR and the regulations of the Committee, to receive from the Corporation that number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one Share over the exercise price per Share specified by the Award of such SAR (which shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of the Award) (the “Appreciation”) times the number of Shares specified in such SAR, or portion thereof, which is so exercised. The Fair Market Value at exercise shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance applicable law.

 

- 8 -


  (b) Any Stock Option granted under this Plan may include an SAR, either at the time of the Award or by amendment. An SAR included in a Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that

 

  (i) such SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, the Stock Option is exercisable; and

 

  (ii) such SAR shall entitle the Grantee to surrender to the Corporation unexercised the Stock Option in which the SAR is included, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefor that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one Share over the exercise price specified in the Award of such Stock Option times the number of Shares specified in the Award of such Stock Option, or portion thereof, which is so surrendered.

 

  (c) All SARs granted hereunder shall have a maximum life of ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the Award. In no event shall any SAR vest sooner than one (1) year from the date of issuance of the Award except in the event of a Change in Control.

 

  (d) In lieu of the right to receive all or any specified portion of such Shares, an SAR may entitle the holder thereof to receive the cash equivalent thereof as specified by the Award.

 

  (e) An SAR may provide that such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on the business day preceding the expiration of such SAR or the related Stock Option, if any, if at such time such SAR has positive value and would have expired.

 

  (f) The Committee may grant reload SARs, separately or together with another Stock Option, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, the Grantee would be granted a new SAR when the payment of the exercise price of a previously granted Stock Option is made by the delivery of Shares owned by the Grantee, which new SAR would entitle the Grantee to receive from the Corporation the Appreciation on the number of Shares not exceeding the number of Shares so provided as consideration upon the exercise of the previously granted Stock Option to which such reload SAR relates. Reload SARs may be granted with respect to Stock Options previously granted under the Plan or any other Stock Option plan of the Corporation and may be included with a grant of reload Stock Options. Reload SARs shall have a per Share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant of the reload SAR. Any Reload SAR shall be subject to availability of sufficient Shares for grant under the Plan.

 

9. Restricted Stock

 

  (a)

An Award of Restricted Stock may be granted hereunder to an eligible Employee for such consideration, if any, as may be required by applicable law. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock, including the vesting period, shall be specified by the Committee, at its sole discretion, in the Award. In no event shall any Restricted Stock vest sooner than three (3) years from the date of the issuance of the Restricted Stock

 

- 9 -


 

except, to the extent specified in the Award, (i) in the event of a Change in Control; (ii) upon the death of the Grantee; or (iii) if the Grantee Terminates Normally.

 

  (b) Any Shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such award.

 

  (c) The grant of any Award of Restricted Stock may be conditioned upon the achievement of performance-based criteria. Further, any Award of Restricted Stock may specify performance-based criteria which, if achieved by the Corporation, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Shares.

 

10. Dividend Equivalent Rights; Interest Equivalents

 

  (a) A DER may be granted hereunder to an eligible Employee, as a component of another Award or as a separate Award. The terms and conditions of DERs shall be specified by the Award. Dividend Equivalents Rights credited to the Grantee of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares (which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend Equivalents Rights). Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value at the time thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A DER granted as a component of another Award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such DER shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. A DER granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award.

 

  (b) Any Award under this Plan that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide by the Award for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Award.

 

11. Deferral of Payment

With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of Shares, cash or any combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a single future delivery. The Committee may also permit or require selected Grantees to defer payment of some or all of their Awards, as well as other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.

 

12. Termination of Employment

If the employment of a Grantee terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Awards may be exercisable and paid only as specified in the Award and in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may provide, as the Committee deems

 

- 10 -


appropriate, subject to the terms of the Plan, for the expiration, continuation, or acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the Awards.

 

13. Detrimental Activity

The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Awards at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Plan or with the terms of any notice of Award or if the Grantee engages in Detrimental Activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an Award, require a Grantee to acknowledge that he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan and of any notice of Award and has not engaged in any Detrimental Activity. Any Award may provide that if a Grantee, either during employment by the Corporation or within a specified period after termination of such employment, shall engage in any Detrimental Activity, and the Committee shall so find, forthwith upon notice of such finding, the Grantee shall:

 

  (a) return to the Corporation, in exchange for payment by the Corporation of any amount actually paid therefor by the Grantee, all Shares that the Grantee has not disposed of that were issued pursuant to this Plan within a specified period prior to the date of the commencement of such Detrimental Activity; and

 

  (b) with respect to any Shares so acquired that the Grantee has disposed of, pay to the Corporation in cash the difference between:

 

  (i) any amount actually paid therefore by the Grantee pursuant to this Plan; and

 

  (ii) the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of such acquisition.

To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Corporation, the Corporation may set off the amounts so payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the Corporation to the Grantee, whether as wages, deferred compensation or vacation pay or in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason.

 

14. Change in Control

The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, either in the Award or subsequent thereto, accelerate the date on which any outstanding Stock Option or SAR becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on the vesting of any Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control or proposed Change in Control of the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase Stock Options previously granted to any Grantee who is at the time of any such transaction an Employee of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the consideration per Share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control and the exercise price specified in the Award.

 

15. Substitute Awards

The Committee may grant Awards in substitution for, or upon the assumption of, Awards granted by another corporation that is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of which is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The terms and

 

- 11 -


provisions of any Awards granted under this Section 15 may vary from the terms and provisions otherwise specified in this Plan and may, instead, correspond to the terms and provisions of the awards granted by the other corporation.

 

16. Amendments to This Plan; Amendments of Outstanding Awards

 

  (a) The Board may from time to time amend or terminate this Plan, or any provision hereof, provided, however, approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be required to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement, or to qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.

 

  (b) The Committee may, in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, amend the terms of any Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of any Grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in part, subject to the terms of the Plan, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any Award.

 

17. Withholding Taxes

The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Plan any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, upon delivery of Restricted Stock, or upon exercise, settlement, or payment of any other Award under this Plan, that the Grantee of such Award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes. Any Award under this Plan may provide by the Award that the Grantee of such Award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the Committee, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in shares. The Grantee shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is determinable, shares previously owned by such Grantee or a portion of the shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such Grantee pursuant to such Award having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date such payment is made equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes to be paid in Shares. Any Award under this Plan may provide by the Award that the Grantee shall pay a portion or all of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in Shares that otherwise would be distributed to such Grantee having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date such payment is made equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes.

 

18. Grants of Awards to Employees Who are Foreign Nationals

Without amending this Plan, but subject to the limitations specified in Section 16 above, the Committee may grant, amend, administer, annul, or terminate Awards to eligible Employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan.

- 1 -

  (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Corporation or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a “Business Combination”), unless (A) immediately following such Business Combination: (1) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Corporation Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Corporation Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Corporation Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (2) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (a “Non-Control Transaction”) or (B) the Business Combination is effected by means of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities from the Corporation, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (iii); or

 

- 2 -


  (iv) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Corporation Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number of Corporation Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Corporation (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Corporation’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Corporation Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Corporation Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

4. Administration

 

  (a) The Committee shall administer this Plan. The Committee will, subject to the terms of the Plan, have the authority to (i) select the Eligible Directors who will receive Awards; (ii) grant Awards; (iii) determine the number and types of Awards to be granted to Directors; (iv) subject to the terms of the Plan, determine the terms, conditions, vesting periods and restrictions applicable to Awards; (v) adopt, alter and repeal administrative rules and practices governing this Plan; (vi) interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan and any Awards granted under this Plan; (vii) prescribe the forms of any notices of Awards or other instruments relating to Awards; and (viii) otherwise supervise the administration of this Plan. All decisions by the Committee will be made with the approval of not less than a majority of its members.

 

  (b) All determinations and interpretations pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall be binding and conclusive upon the individual Director involved and all persons claiming under them.

 

  (c) Transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of this Plan or any action by the Committee under this Plan fails to so comply, such provision or action shall, without further action by any person, be deemed to be automatically amended to the extent necessary to effect compliance with Rule 16b-3, provided that if such provision or action cannot be amended to effect such compliance, such provision or action shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the appropriate authority. Each Award to a Director under this Plan shall be deemed issued subject to the foregoing qualification.

 

  (d) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award under this Plan is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and is not subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind.

 

  (e) Any rights with respect to an Award granted under this Plan existing after the Grantee dies are exercisable by the Grantee’s Designated Beneficiary or, if there is no such Designated Beneficiary who may, and does, lawfully do so, by the Grantee’s personal representative.

 

  (f) Except as otherwise provided herein, a particular form of Award may be granted to an Eligible Director either alone or in addition to other Awards hereunder. The provisions of particular forms of Award need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

 

  (g)

To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate any of its authority to any other person or persons that it deems appropriate, provided the delegation does not cause the Plan or any Awards granted under this Plan to fail to qualify for the exemption

 

- 5 -


 

provided by Rule 16b-3 or violate any independence standard contained in the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.

 

  (h) This Plan and all action taken under it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

 

  (i) The Committee may permit or require any Grantee to exercise any Stock Options or SARs by means of electronic signature.

 

  (j) Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Committee shall determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

 

5. Awards That May Be Granted

 

  (a) The aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered (i) upon the exercise of a Stock Option or SAR; (ii) as Restricted Stock and released from a substantial risk of forfeiture thereof; or (iii) in payment of DERs, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, is 250,000 (increased to 375,000 as of 10/1/07 stock split pursuant to adjustments provided in Section 6).

 

  (b) To the extent that Shares subject to an outstanding Award are not delivered to a Grantee by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such Award or by reason of the tendering or withholding of Shares to satisfy all or a portion the tax withholding obligations relating to an Award, then such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. If the exercise price of any Stock Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares (by actual delivery or attestation), only the number of shares issued to the participant net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed to be delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. When an unexercised Award lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited, the related Shares may be available for distribution in connection with future Awards. If the benefit provided by any Award is paid in cash, any Shares covered by the Award will be available for distribution in connection with future Awards.

 

  (c) The assumption of Awards granted by an organization acquired by the Corporation, or the grant of Awards under this Plan in substitution for any such Awards, will not reduce the number of Shares available for the grant of Awards under this Plan.

 

6. Adjustments

In the event that the Committee shall determine that any (a) stock dividend, stock split, combination of Shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, or (b) merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of

 

- 6 -


the foregoing affects the Shares of the Corporation such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of Shares which thereafter may be the subject of Awards under this Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced.

 

7. Stock Options

 

  (a) One or more Stock Options may be granted to any Eligible Director. Each Stock Option so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose. The exercise price per Share shall be specified by the Award, but shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of the Award. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash, Shares, or other consideration, or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Plan and any applicable regulations of the Committee in effect at the time and valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Option. Fair Market Value on exercise shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law. All Stock Options granted hereunder shall have a maximum life of no more than ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the Award. In no event shall any Stock Option vest sooner than one (1) year from date of issuance of the Award except in the event of a Change in Control.

 

  (b) The Committee shall not adjust or amend the exercise price of Stock Options previously awarded to any Grantee, whether through amendment, cancellation and replacement grant, or any other means.

 

  (c) The Committee may grant reload Stock Options, separately or together with another Stock Option, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, the Grantee would be granted a new Stock Option when the payment of the exercise price of a previously granted Stock Option is made by the delivery of Shares owned by the Grantee, which new Stock Option would be an option to purchase the number of Shares not exceeding the number of Shares so provided as consideration upon the exercise of the previously granted Stock Option to which such reload Stock Option relates. Reload Stock Options may be granted with respect to Stock Options previously granted under the Plan or any other Stock Option plan of the Corporation. Reload Stock Options shall have a per Share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant of the reload Stock Option. Any Reload Option shall be subject to availability of sufficient Shares for grant under the Plan.

 

8. Stock Appreciation Rights

 

- 7 -


  (a) An SAR may be granted to an Eligible Director as a separate Award hereunder. Any SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that (i) such SAR shall entitle the Grantee, upon exercise thereof in accordance with such SAR and the regulations of the Committee, to receive from the Corporation that number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one Share over the exercise price per Share specified by the Award of such SAR (which shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of the Award) times the number of Shares specified in such SAR, or portion thereof, which is so exercised. The Fair Market Value at exercise shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

 

  (b) Any Stock Option granted under this Plan may include an SAR, either at the time of the Award or by amendment. An SAR included in a Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that

 

  (i) such SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, the Stock Option is exercisable; and

 

  (ii) such SAR shall entitle the Grantee to surrender to the Corporation unexercised the Stock Option in which the SAR is included, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefor that number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one Share over the exercise price specified in the Award of such Stock Option times the number of Shares specified in the Award of such Stock Option, or portion thereof, which is so surrendered.

 

  (c) All SARs granted hereunder shall have a maximum life of ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the Award. In no event shall any SAR vest sooner than one (1) year from the date of issuance of the Award except in the event of a Change in Control.

 

  (d) In lieu of the right to receive all or any specified portion of such Shares, a SAR may entitle the holder thereof to receive the cash equivalent thereof as specified by the Award.

 

  (e) An SAR may provide that such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on the business day preceding the expiration of such SAR or the related Stock Option, if any, if at such time such SAR has positive value and would have expired.

 

9. Restricted Stock

 

  (a) An Award of Restricted Stock may be granted hereunder to an Eligible Director for such consideration, if any, as may be required by applicable law. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock, including the vesting period, shall be specified by the Committee, at its sole discretion, in the Award.

 

- 8 -


  (b) Any Shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such award.

 

  (c) The grant of any Award of Restricted Stock may be conditioned upon the achievement of performance-based criteria. Further, any Award of Restricted Stock may specify performance-based criteria which, if achieved by the Corporation, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Shares.

 

10. Dividend Equivalent Rights; Interest Equivalents

 

  (a) A DER may be granted hereunder to an Eligible Director, as a component of another Award or as a separate Award. The terms and conditions of DERs shall be specified by the Award. Dividend Equivalents Rights credited to the Grantee of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares (which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend Equivalents Rights). Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value at the time thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A DER granted as a component of another Award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such DER shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. A DER granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award.

 

  (b) Any Award under this Plan that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide by the Award for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Award.

 

11. Deferral of Payment

With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of Shares, cash or any combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a single future delivery. The Committee may also permit or require selected Grantees to defer payment of some or all of their Awards, as well as other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.

 

12. Termination of Service

If the service of a Grantee as a Director terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Awards may be exercisable and paid only as specified in the Award and in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may provide, as the Committee

 

- 9 -


deems appropriate, subject to the terms of the Plan, for the expiration, continuation, or acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the Awards.

 

13. Detrimental Activity

The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Awards at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Plan or with the terms of any notice of Award or if the Grantee engages in Detrimental Activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an Award, require a Grantee to acknowledge that he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan and of any notice of Award and has not engaged in any Detrimental Activity. Any Award may provide that if a Grantee, either during service as a Director or within a specified period after termination of such service, shall engage in any Detrimental Activity, and the Committee shall so find, forthwith upon notice of such finding, the Grantee shall:

 

  (a) return to the Corporation, in exchange for payment by the Corporation of any amount actually paid therefor by the Grantee, all Shares that the Grantee has not disposed of that were issued pursuant to this Plan within a specified period prior to the date of the commencement of such Detrimental Activity; and

 

  (b) with respect to any Shares so acquired that the Grantee has disposed of, pay to the Corporation in cash the difference between:

 

  (i) any amount actually paid therefor by the Grantee pursuant to this Plan; and

 

  (ii) the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such acquisition.

To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Corporation, the Corporation may set off the amounts so payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the Corporation to the Grantee, whether as director fees, deferred compensation or in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason.

 

14. Change in Control

The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, either in the Award or subsequent thereto, accelerate the date on which any outstanding Stock Option or SAR becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on the vesting of any Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control or proposed Change in Control of the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase Stock Options previously granted to any Grantee who is at the time of any such transaction an Eligible Director of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the consideration per Share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control and the exercise price specified in the Award.

 

- 10 -


15. Amendments to This Plan; Amendments of Outstanding Awards

 

  (a) The Board may from time to time amend or terminate this Plan, or any provision hereof, provided, however, approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be required to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement, or to qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.

 

  (b) The Committee may, in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, amend the terms of any Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of any Grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in part, subject to the terms of the Plan, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any Award.

 

16. Withholding Taxes

The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Plan any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, upon delivery of Restricted Stock, or upon exercise, settlement, or payment of any other Award under this Plan, that the Grantee of such Award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes. Any Award under this Plan may provide by the Award that the Grantee of such Award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the Committee, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in Shares. The Grantee shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is determinable, Shares previously owned by such Grantee or a portion of the shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such Grantee pursuant to such Award having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date such payment is made equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes to be paid in Shares.

 

17. Grants of Awards to Eligible Directors Who are Foreign Nationals

Without amending this Plan, but subject to the limitations specified in Section 15 above, the Committee may grant, amend, administer, annul, or terminate Awards to Eligible Directors who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan.

 

18. Termination

No Awards will be made under this Plan more than ten (10) years after the date on which this Plan is first approved by the shareholders of the Corporation, but all Awards made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and this Plan.

 

- 11 -


19. Effective Date

This Plan was approved by the Board on August 12, 2004 and became effective on October 27, 2004 upon approval by the shareholders of the Corporation. Upon approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Corporation, no further Awards may be made by the Corporation under the 1996 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:

 

   

Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;

 

   

Aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and

 

   

Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market.

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region around the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 would indicate the opposite effect. The PMI for the United States at the end of fiscal 2009 was 44.8 and the PMI for the Eurozone countries was 42.6 at the end of fiscal 2009. The PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both decreased significantly during fiscal 2009 and the Company’s order rates during fiscal 2009 have reflected this decline. However, the PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both sequentially increased during the latter part of fiscal 2009 and the Company expects the sequential increases to continue in the short term, though beyond that period the PMI levels are uncertain.

With respect to the aerospace market, aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles during fiscal 2009 have declined moderately from comparable fiscal 2008 levels, with the most of the decline occurring in the latter part of fiscal 2009. The Company anticipates that both aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles in fiscal 2010 will be lower than their fiscal 2009 levels. The Company anticipates that Department of Defense spending in fiscal 2010 will be about four percent higher than the fiscal 2009 level.

With respect to the North American residential air conditioning market, housing starts in June 2009 were approximately 46 percent lower than housing starts in June 2008. The Company anticipates the level of housing starts in fiscal 2010 will continue to be well below historical normal levels.

The Company also believes that there is a high negative correlation between interest rates and industrial manufacturing activity. Increases in interest rates typically have a negative impact on industrial production thereby lowering future order rates while decreases in interest rates typically have the opposite effect.

The Company remains focused on maintaining its financial strength through the current worldwide economic downturn by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company’s Win Strategy initiatives relating to growth and margin improvement are designed to assist in meeting this challenge. The Company has implemented several additional initiatives, including workforce reductions, salary freezes, and short work weeks, to reduce costs in response to the continued deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and the corresponding decline in the Company’s order rates. The Company has also developed contingency plans to further control costs if economic conditions continue to deteriorate.

Despite the current economic conditions, the financial condition of the Company remains strong. The Company continues to generate substantial cash flows from operations, has controlled capital spending and has proactively managed working capital, with particular attention to collecting receivables from customers in financial difficulty. The Company has been able to borrow needed funds at affordable interest rates and currently has a debt to debt-equity ratio of 35.2 percent.

 

13 - 2


While current worldwide economic conditions necessitate that the Company concentrate its efforts on maintaining financial strength, the Company believes many opportunities for growth remain available. The Company will evaluate these opportunities as appropriate in the current environment in order to strongly position itself for when the economic recovery ultimately occurs. Major opportunities for growth are as follows:

 

   

Leveraging the Company’s broad product line with customers desiring to consolidate their vendor base and outsource system engineering;

 

   

Marketing systems solutions for customer applications;

 

   

Expanding the Company’s business presence outside of North America;

 

   

Introducing new products, including those resulting from the Company’s innovation initiatives;

 

   

Completing strategic acquisitions in a consolidating motion and control industry; and

 

   

Expanding the Company’s vast distribution network.

During the first half of fiscal 2009, the Company completed nine acquisitions whose aggregate annual revenues were approximately $532 million. Acquisitions will continue to be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. The Company will also continue to assess the strategic fit of its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss each of the financial statements presented on pages 13-13 to 13-17. All year references are to fiscal years.

Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Income

The Consolidated Statement of Income summarizes the Company’s operating performance over the last three fiscal years.

 

(millions)

   2009     2008     2007  

Net sales

   $ 10,309      $ 12,146      $ 10,718   

Gross profit margin

Selling, general and administrative expenses

   $ 1,290      $ 1,364      $ 1,227   

Interest expense

     112        99        83   

Other expense (income), net

     44        20        (7

Effective tax rate

     25.4     28.4     28.4

Net income

   $ 509      $ 949      $ 830   

Net income, as percent of sales

     4.9     7.8     7.7

Net sales in 2009 were 15.1 percent lower than 2008. The decline in sales in 2009 primarily reflects lower volume in all segments except for the Aerospace Segment. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $539 million in sales. The effect of currency rate changes reduced net sales by approximately $490 million.

Net sales in 2008 were 13.3 percent higher than 2007. The increase in sales in 2008 primarily reflects higher volume experienced in the Industrial International and Aerospace Segments. Acquisitions made in fiscal 2008 contributed approximately $373 million in sales. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $544 million.

 

13 - 3


During 2009, the worldwide economic downturn resulted in the Company experiencing an unprecedented drop in the demand for its products in virtually all markets of the Industrial and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments. Business conditions in the Aerospace Segment were strong in the earlier part of 2009 but began to soften in the latter part of 2009. For 2010, the Company expects the recessionary-like business conditions experienced in 2009 in the Industrial and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments to continue but the rate of decline is expected to lessen. The Company anticipates business conditions in the commercial aftermarket business of the Aerospace Segment will weaken as passenger air miles continue to decline and airlines reduce flight schedules and capacity.

Gross profit margin was lower in 2009 primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Gross margin was higher in 2008 primarily due to a combination of the increase in sales and the effects of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, especially in the Industrial International businesses. Current-year acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively affected the current-year gross margin. Included in gross profit in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were business realignment charges of $40.9 million, $5.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.4 percent in 2009 and increased 11.2 percent in 2008. The decrease in 2009 was primarily due to the lower sales volume as well as lower expenses related to incentive compensation plans. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to the higher sales volume, current-year acquisitions as well as higher expenses related to professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, were 12.5 percent in 2009, 11.2 percent in 2008 and 11.4 percent in 2007.

Interest expense in 2009 and 2008 increased primarily due to higher average debt outstanding. The increase in borrowings primarily related to the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of the Company’s common shares.

Other expense (income), net in 2009 included $37.4 million of expense related to litigation settlements, $13.8 million of expense related to investment writedowns and $11.6 million of income related to insurance recoveries. Other expense (income), net in 2008 included $20.0 million of expense related to litigation settlements.

Effective tax rate in 2009 was lower primarily due to a tax benefit associated with a worthless stock deduction for tax reporting purposes related to a foreign subsidiary, higher research and development tax credits and lower taxable income, partially offset by the effect of litigation settlements. The effective tax rate in 2008 remained at the 2007 level primarily due to the increase in foreign tax rate differences being offset by lower research and development tax credits.

Other comprehensive income (loss) included gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded directly into Shareholders’ equity. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Discussion of Business Segment Information

The Business Segment information presents sales, operating income and assets on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s various businesses are managed for internal review and decision-making. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s reportable business segments.

13 - 4


Sales in 2009 for the Industrial North American operations decreased 12.1 percent compared to an increase of 4.6 percent from 2007 to 2008. The decrease in sales in 2009 was primarily due to lower demand experienced from distributors and lower end-user demand experienced in virtually all of the markets of the Industrial North American businesses as customer order levels have declined in response to current economic conditions. Acquisitions completed within the past 12 months contributed approximately $271 million in sales. The increase in sales in 2008 was primarily due to acquisitions as well as higher demand experienced from distributors and higher end-customer demand experienced in the construction equipment, farm and agriculture, oil and gas and general industrial machinery markets, partially offset by lower end-customer demand in the heavy-duty truck, automotive, semiconductor and residential construction markets.

Sales in the Industrial International operations decreased 22.2 percent in 2009 following an increase of 28.3 percent from 2007 to 2008. The sales decline in 2009 was primarily due to lower sales volume across most markets in all regions with the largest decline in volume experienced in Europe. Acquisitions completed within the past 12 months contributed approximately $250 million in sales. The sales increase in 2008 was primarily due to higher volume across most markets, particularly Europe and the Asia Pacific region as well as acquisitions, which accounted for about 20 percent of the increase. Foreign currency rate changes, primarily the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British Pound, decreased net sales in 2009 by $386 million.

The lower Industrial North American operating margins in 2009 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher expenses associated with business realignment activities. The lower Industrial North American operating margins in 2008 were primarily due to higher expenses associated with new product development and higher material costs more than offsetting the higher sales volume. Acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively impacted margins in both 2009 and 2008. Included in Industrial North American operating income in 2009, 2008 and 2007 are business realignment charges of $10.4 million, $4.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The business realignment charges resulted from actions the Company took to structure the Industrial North American operations to operate in the current economic environment and primarily consisted of severance costs and costs relating to the consolidation of manufacturing operations.

The lower Industrial International operating margins in 2009 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher expenses associated with business realignment activities. The Industrial International operating margin improvement in 2008 was primarily due to a combination of the higher sales volume and benefits realized from the Company’s financial performance initiatives. Acquisitions, not fully integrated, negatively impacted margins in 2009 and 2008. Operating income in 2009, 2008 and 2007 included $23.3 million, $0.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of business realignment charges that were taken to appropriately structure operations primarily in Europe.

The Company anticipates Industrial North American sales for 2010 will decrease between 6.7 percent and 11.5 percent from the fiscal 2009 level and Industrial International sales for fiscal 2010 will decrease between 11.7 percent and 16.2 percent from the fiscal 2009 level. The lower sales levels in 2010 are primarily due to continued lower end-user demand expected in most markets. Industrial North American operating margins in 2010 are expected to range from 9.0 percent to 9.4 percent and Industrial International margins are expected to range from 4.0 percent to 4.6 percent. The lower Industrial International operating margin in 2010 primarily results from manufacturing inefficiencies. The Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Industrial Segment. Such actions may include the necessity to record business realignment charges in 2010.

The decrease in total Industrial Segment backlog in 2009 was primarily due to lower order rates in both the North American and International businesses, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. The increase in backlog in 2008 was primarily due to higher order rates in the Industrial International businesses.

The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to the effect of currency fluctuations as well as decreases in accounts receivable and inventory partially offset by increases in assets from current-year acquisitions. The increase in assets in 2008 was primarily due to current-year acquisitions and the effect of currency fluctuations. The increase in assets in 2008 was also due to increases in cash, accounts receivable and inventory.

Sales in 2009 increased 2.5 percent compared to an increase of 9.0 percent from 2007 to 2008. The increase in sales in 2009 was primarily due to an increase in both commercial and military aftermarket volume as well as an increase in military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) volume. The increase in sales in 2008 was primarily due to an increase in both commercial OEM and aftermarket volume. The sales increase in 2008 was partially offset by lower military aftermarket volume.

The increase in margins in 2009 were primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the higher margin aftermarket businesses partially offset by higher engineering development costs. The lower margins in 2008 were primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the lower margin OEM businesses as well as higher engineering development costs and an increase in contract reserves related to certain programs.

The decrease in backlog in 2009 was primarily due to lower order rates in the commercial and military OEM businesses. The increase in backlog in 2008 was primarily due to higher order rates, especially in the commercial OEM businesses. For 2010, sales are expected to decrease between 5.7 percent and 6.6 percent from the fiscal 2009 level primarily due to anticipated lower commercial OEM and aftermarket volume. Operating margins are expected to range from 11.5 percent to 11.7 percent. Further reductions in commercial aftermarket volume in future product mix and higher than expected engineering development costs could result in lower margins.

The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in inventory. The increase in assets in 2008 was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory as well as acquisitions.

Sales in 2009 decreased 24.4 percent compared to a 1.6 percent decrease in sales from 2007 to 2008. The decrease in sales in 2009 and 2008 was primarily due to lower end-user demand in the residential air conditioning, commercial refrigeration, heavy-duty truck and automotive markets. The magnitude of the decline in sales in 2009 reflects the effect of the worldwide economic downturn especially with respect to housing starts and automotive production. The lower margins in 2009 and 2008 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Margins in 2009 were also adversely affected by business realignment charges of $10.9 million.

The Company anticipates sales in 2010 will decrease between 10.1 percent and 13.1 percent from the fiscal 2009 level primarily due to continued lower end-user demand expected in most markets. Operating margins are expected to range from 2.1 percent to 2.9 percent, reflecting the benefit of past business realignment activities. The Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment operations. Such actions may include the necessity to record business realignment charges in 2010.

 

13 - 6


The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to declines in accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment as well as the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in assets in 2008 was primarily due to declines in accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets partially offset by the effect of currency fluctuations.

Corporate assets increased 31.8 percent in 2009 compared to an increase of 15.2 percent from 2007 to 2008. The increase in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the LIFO reserve and increases in prepaid expenses and deferred taxes. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to an increase in deferred taxes, cash and property, plant and equipment partially offset by an increase in the LIFO reserve.

Discussion of Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Consolidated Balance Sheet shows the Company’s financial position at year-end, compared with the previous year-end. This statement provides information to assist in assessing factors such as the Company’s liquidity and financial resources.

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,280 million at June 30, 2009 and $1,821 million at June 30, 2008). Accounts receivable decreased primarily due to the reduced sales volume, especially in the European businesses within the Industrial Segment. Days sales outstanding relating to trade receivables for the Company was 53 days in 2009 compared to 50 days in 2008.

Inventories decreased primarily in the Industrial Segment due to decreased customer demand across almost all markets. In response to declining order rates, especially in the Industrial Segment, the Company is continuing its efforts to adjust inventory levels to a level commensurate with current customer demand. Days supply of inventory on hand was 77 days in 2009 compared to 61 days in 2008.

Goodwill increased primarily as a result of current-year acquisitions. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangible assets, net consist primarily of patents, trademarks and customer lists. Intangible assets, net increased primarily due to current-year acquisitions. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes payable increased primarily due to additional commercial paper borrowings to finance current-year acquisition activity and share repurchases. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounts payable, trade decreased primarily due to reduced purchasing and production levels.

Shareholders’ equity included a decrease of $494.5 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during 2009. The translation adjustments primarily affected Accounts receivable, Inventories, Plant and equipment, Investments and other assets, Goodwill, Intangible assets, Accounts payable, trade and Long-term debt. The change in Shareholders’ equity is explained further in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reflects cash inflows and outflows from the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities.

A summary of cash flows follows:

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents

   $ (138   $ 153      $ 1   
                        

Cash Flows From Operating Activities decreased from 2008 primarily due to lower Net Income partially offset by an increase in cash provided from working capital. Cash flows provided from working capital increased due to lower inventory and accounts receivable levels offset by a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, the Company settled payments from a current-year acquisition after the acquisition closing date resulting in an increase in cash used by Other accrued liabilities.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities decreased primarily due to a lower level of acquisition activity as compared with 2008. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of net assets of acquired companies. Also, cash used for capital expenditures decreased slightly from 2008 as near-term economic uncertainties resulted in the Company reducing the level of capital expenditures in the latter part of fiscal 2009.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities primarily consists of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, dividend payments and share repurchases. In 2009, additional commercial paper borrowings were used primarily to finance acquisition activity and share repurchases. Although the Company repurchased a comparable number of its common shares as in 2008, the average price per share was lower in 2009 resulting in less cash required to complete the repurchases.

Dividends have been paid for 236 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 53 fiscal years. The current annual dividend rate is $1.00 per share.

The Company’s goal is to maintain no less than an “A” rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As one means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-equity of no more than 37 percent.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. The credit agreement expires September 2012; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis. A portion of the credit agreement supports the Company’s commercial paper note program, which is rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch Ratings. These ratings are considered investment grade. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of 4.5/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level and contains provisions that increase the facility fee of the credit agreement in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. A lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

 

13 - 8


The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. At the Company’s present rating level, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of June 30, 2009, the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets was less than two percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided from operating activities and borrowings either from or directly supported by its line of credit. Current events in the credit markets have adversely impacted the lending ability of many financial institutions thereby restricting the availability of credit to many companies; however, the Company’s ability to borrow has not been affected by the lack of credit availability and the Company does not foresee any impediments to borrow funds at affordable interest rates in the near future. While the economic outlook for the near future remains uncertain, the Company’s ability to generate cash from its operations and ability to borrow directly from its line of credit or sources directly supported by its line of credit should be sufficient to support working capital needs, planned growth, benefit plan funding, dividend payments and share repurchases.

Contractual Obligations –The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $142.1 million at June 30, 2009. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, FIN 48 obligations are not included in the following summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts, comprised of puts and calls, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in both freely convertible and non-freely convertible foreign currencies. These contracts are with major financial institutions and the risk of loss is considered remote. None of these contracts were designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The contracts are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The gain or loss on the adjustment to fair value is reported in Net income. The total fair value and carrying amount and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $8.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be more critical than other policies because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment.

Revenue Recognition – Substantially all of the Industrial Segment and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment revenues are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the customer. This generally takes place at the time the product is shipped. The Aerospace Segment uses the percentage of completion, units of delivery method to recognize a portion of its revenue. The percentage of completion method requires the use of estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts and for some contracts includes estimating costs related to aftermarket orders. The estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contracts as well as the technical nature of the products involved. Adjustments to estimated costs are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the costs to complete a contract exceed the contract revenues.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks and has consistently used a terminal growth factor of 2.5 percent. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analyses to the Company’s overall market capitalization. The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of its cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test.

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out basis for a majority of U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out basis for the balance of the Company’s inventories. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for obsolete inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. Changes in the allowance have not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

13 - 10


Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions – The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels, amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses and health care cost trends. Assumptions are determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plan’s measurement date. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience as well as the amortization of actuarial gains and losses could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial statements. For the Company’s domestic defined benefit plans, a one-half percentage point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have an $8 million effect on pension expense and a one-half percentage point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase pension expense by $13 million. As of June 30, 2009, $527 million of past years’ net actuarial losses related to the Company’s domestic qualified defined benefit plans are subject to amortization in the future. These losses will generally be amortized over approximately 10 years and will negatively affect earnings in the future. Actuarial gains experienced in future years will help reduce the effect of the actuarial loss amortization.

Further information on pensions and postretirement benefits other than pensions is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation – The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. The Company currently uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of its stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Black-Scholes model requires assumptions regarding the volatility of the Company’s stock, the expected life of the stock award and the Company’s dividend ratio. The Company primarily uses historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and has no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility, future dividend payments and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards. Further information on stock-based compensation is provided in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes – Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s income tax expense and in evaluating tax positions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Factors considered by the Company in the determination of the probability of realization of deferred income tax assets include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse. The Company reviews its tax positions on a regular basis and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available. Further information on income taxes is provided in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Loss Reserves – The Company has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, product liability, litigation and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (Statement No. 141R). Statement No. 141R changes the accounting for business combinations both during the period of acquisition and in subsequent periods. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Statement No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Generally, the effect of Statement No. 141R on the Company’s financial position and results of operations will depend on future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51.” Statement No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FASB Statement No. 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that FSP 132(R)-1 will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reports as well as annual reports. The Company will comply with the required disclosures beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 and does not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial instrument disclosures.

(b) Includes the value of net plant and equipment at the date of acquisition of acquired companies (2009 - $107,278; 2008 - $90,615; 2007 - $31,458).

 

(c) Net sales are attributed to countries based on the location of the selling unit. North America includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. No country other than the United States represents greater than 10 percent of consolidated sales. Long-lived assets are comprised of plant and equipment based on physical location, goodwill and intangible assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Nature of Operations - The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before Corporate general and administrative expenses, Interest expense and Income taxes.

The Company operates in three business segments: Industrial, Aerospace and Climate & Industrial Controls. The Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment. Industrial Segment products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors. The Industrial North American operations have manufacturing plants and distribution networks throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico and primarily services North America. The Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 45 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

The Aerospace Segment produces hydraulic, fuel and pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and also performs a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapons systems. This Segment serves original equipment and maintenance, repair and overhaul customers worldwide. Aerospace Segment products are marketed by field sales employees and are sold directly to manufacturers and end users.

The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment manufactures motion-control systems and components for use primarily in the refrigeration and air conditioning and transportation industries. The products in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors.

See the table of Business Segment Information “By Industry” and “By Geographic Area” on pages 13-14 and 13-15 for further disclosure of business segment information.

There are no individual customers to whom sales are three percent or more of the Company’s consolidated sales. Due to the diverse group of customers throughout the world the Company does not consider itself exposed to any concentration of credit risks.

The Company manufactures and markets its products throughout the world. Although certain risks and uncertainties exist, the diversity and breadth of the Company’s products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes with respect to any particular product and geographic operation would materially affect the Company’s operating results.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements. Within the Business Segment Information, intersegment and interarea sales have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the customer. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in Net sales and the related costs in Cost of sales.

Long-term Contracts - The Company enters into long-term contracts primarily for the production of aerospace products. For financial statement purposes, revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. The extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. Unbilled costs on these contracts are included in inventory. Progress payments are netted against the inventory balances. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

13 - 18


Cash - Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with a three-month or less maturity, carried at cost plus accrued interest, which are readily convertible into cash.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out method and the balance of the Company’s inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out method.

Plant, Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated principally using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and building equipment, seven to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and three to eight years for vehicles and office equipment. Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company reviews plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. When plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in current income.

Investments and Other Assets - Investments in joint-venture companies in which ownership is 50% or less and in which the Company does not have operating control are stated at cost plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings. These investments and the related earnings are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill - The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks and customer lists and are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method. Patents are amortized over the shorter of their remaining useful or legal life. Trademarks are amortized over the estimated time period over which an economic benefit is expected to be received. Customer lists are amortized over a period based on historical customer attrition rates.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon income for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax purposes. Tax credits and similar tax incentives are applied to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which the credits arise. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized in income tax expense. Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $29,904 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for by a decrease of $23,801 to the July 1, 2007 balance of Retained earnings and an increase of $6,103 to deferred tax assets, which is included in the Other assets caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Product Warranty - In the ordinary course of business the Company warrants its products against defect in design, materials and workmanship over various time periods. The warranty accrual at June 30, 2009 and 2008 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of most foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, and income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments, as well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income component of Shareholders’ equity. Such adjustments will affect Net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, which is not contemplated at this time. Exchange gains and losses from transactions in a currency other than the local currency of the entity involved, and translation adjustments in countries with highly inflationary economies, are included in Net income.

 

13 - 19


Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments as well as obligations under notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for Cash and cash equivalents, Investments and other assets and Notes payable approximate fair value. See Note 9 for fair value of long-term debt.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts (forward contracts) and costless collar contracts, comprised of puts and calls, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in both freely convertible and non-freely convertible foreign currencies. These contracts are with major financial institutions and the risk of loss is considered remote. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through Net income. Gains or losses on derivatives that hedge specific transactions are recognized in Net income or recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. See Note 15 for disclosure of fair value of derivative financial instruments.

In addition, the Company’s foreign locations in the ordinary course of business enter into financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.

The total carrying and fair value of open forward exchange and costless collar contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of the arrangements described above is not material.

Subsequent Events - The Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 165 as of June 30, 2009, and has evaluated for disclosure subsequent events that have occurred up to August 27, 2009, the date of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (Statement No. 141R). Statement No. 141R changes the accounting for business combinations both during the period of acquisition and in subsequent periods. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Statement No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Generally, the effect of Statement No. 141R on the Company’s financial position or results of operations will depend on future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51.” Statement No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of Statement No. 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that FSP 132(R)-1 will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reports as well as annual reports. The Company will comply with the required disclosures beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 and does not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial instrument disclosures.

Reclassifications and Revisions - Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets of $135,901 resulting from $545,950 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of realizing certain loss carryforwards, a foreign capital loss carryforward, and certain deferred tax assets associated with other liabilities and reserves. The foreign capital loss carryforward and some of the loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely; others can be carried forward from one to 19 years. The increase in loss carryforwards and the valuation allowance in 2009 were primarily due to an increase in losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. No material valuation allowance was recorded during the year attributable to various acquisitions. Upon the adoption of Statement No. 141R, changes in the valuation allowance attributable to acquisitions will affect income tax expense including those associated with acquisitions that closed prior to July 1, 2009.

Provision has not been made for additional U.S. or foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of certain international operations as those earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes, that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.

Accumulated undistributed earnings of foreign operations reinvested in their operations amounted to $1,298,102, $1,435,394 and $948,867, at June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate was $114,210 and $76,868 as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $9,179 and $9,748 as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal years through 2001 as well as 2004 and 2005. All significant state and local and foreign tax returns have been examined for fiscal years through 2001. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the IRS examination for fiscal years 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 will be settled. The Company anticipates that within the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to income inclusion items, loss deductions and loss carryforwards may be reduced by an amount up to $55 million due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

 

5. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed according to FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards.

 

13 - 24


The computation of net income per share was as follows:

 

     2009    2008    2007

Numerator:

        

Net income applicable to common shares

   $ 508,515    $ 949,466    $ 830,046

Denominator:

     1,155,037      3,358,348      2,851,563
                    

Diluted – weighted-average common shares, assuming exercise of stock-based awards

     162,719,148      171,643,835      177,494,890
                    

Basic earnings per share

   $ 3.15    $ 5.64    $ 4.75

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 3.13    $ 5.53    $ 4.68

For 2009, 2008 and 2007, 6.4 million, 1.1 million, and 2.5 million common shares, respectively, subject to stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

 

6. Inventories

Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method were approximately 28 percent and 29 percent, respectively, of total inventories in 2009 and 2008. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $204,294 in 2009 and $216,794 in 2008. During 2009, inventory reductions resulted in a pre-tax LIFO liquidation gain of $12,500. Progress payments of $57,704 in 2009 and $34,809 in 2008 are netted against inventories.

 

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment test as required by FASB Statement No. 142. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which for the Company, is one level below the operating segment level. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each of the Company’s reporting units prepare discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses. The annual impairment tests performed in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized.

“Goodwill adjustments” primarily represent adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date and primarily involves the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Some of the 2009 purchase price allocations are preliminary and may require subsequent adjustment.

8. Financing Arrangements

The Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500,000 through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,071,566 was available at June 30, 2009. The credit agreement expires in September 2012, however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. A portion of the credit agreement supports the Company’s commercial paper note program. The interest on borrowings is based upon the terms of each specific borrowing and is subject to market conditions. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of up to 4.5/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level. The revolving credit agreement contains provisions that increase the facility fee of the credit agreement in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. A lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,370,000 of short-term commercial paper notes, rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch Ratings. These ratings are considered investment grade. Commercial paper notes outstanding were $354,500 at June 30, 2009. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding at June 30, 2008.

The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the agreement for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. At the Company’s present rating level, the most restrictive covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of June 30, 2009, the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets was less than two percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.

Notes payable is comprised of short-term lines of credit and borrowings from foreign banks. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $172,752 in lines of credit from various foreign banks, of which $169,686 was available. Most of these agreements are renewed annually. The balance and weighted-average interest rate of the Notes payable at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $431,044 and 1.5 percent and $95,112 and 4.7 percent, respectively.

Principal amounts of Long-term debt payable in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $50,423, $381,537, $62,755, $232,157 and $214, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s Long-term debt (excluding leases) was $1,889,844 and $1,975,590 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was estimated to have a fair value of $1,899,246 and $1,937,995, at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value of the Long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At the Company’s present rating level, some of the debt agreements include a limitation on the Company’s ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets.

ESOP Loan Guarantee - In 1999, the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was leveraged when the ESOP Trust borrowed $112,000 and used the proceeds to purchase 4,583,120 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s treasury. The loan was unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and therefore the unpaid balance of the borrowing was reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Long-term debt. A corresponding amount representing Unearned compensation was recorded as a deduction from Shareholders’ equity. The ESOP Trust repaid the loan in 2009 so the borrowing was removed from Long-term debt.

Lease Commitments - Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2009, under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates, are as follows: 2010-$82,164; 2011-$60,394; 2012-$40,378; 2013-$26,733; 2014-$19,984 and after 2014-$86,087.

Rental expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $125,516, $106,135 and $86,999, respectively.

 

10. Retirement Benefits

Pensions - The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Plans for most salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service. Plans for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat-dollar amounts and years of service. The Company also has arrangements for certain key employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund these plans based on legal requirements, tax considerations, local practices and investment opportunities. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign countries.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” Statement No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Statement No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The funded status recognition provision was adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2007 resulting in a decrease to Shareholders’ equity of $259,166 in 2007. Prior to the adoption of Statement No. 158, accounting rules required that the Company recognize a liability if the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets. The net of tax effect of recording the minimum liability on Shareholders’ equity was an increase of $221,546 in 2007. The measurement date provision of Statement No. 158 was adopted by the Company as of July 1, 2008 resulting in a decrease to Shareholders’ equity of $2,106 in 2009.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income is on a debit (credit) basis and excludes the effect of income taxes.

The estimated amount of net actuarial loss, prior service cost and transition asset that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into net periodic benefit pension cost in 2010 is $71,789, $12,639 and $51, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $2,699,942 and $2,471,932 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $2,911,759, $2,666,229 and $1,767,765, respectively, at June 30, 2009, and $498,209, $433,578 and $273,849, respectively, at June 30, 2008.

 

13 - 29


The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $63 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2010, the majority of which relate to non-U.S. defined benefit plans. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $131,556, $152,252, $152,481, $192,023 and $162,045, respectively and $1,000,686 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

The assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

U.S. defined benefit plans

      

Discount rate

   6.8   6.3   6.0

Average increase in compensation

   4.7   4.7   4.7

Expected return on plan assets

   8.5   8.5   8.75

Non-U.S. defined benefit plans

      

Discount rate

   2.25 to 6.9   2.25 to 6.3   2.25 to 6.0

Average increase in compensation

   1.0 to 4.5   1.0 to 4.25   1.0 to 4.25

Expected return on plan assets

   1.0 to 8.0   1.0 to 7.75   1.0 to 7.75

The assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

 

     2009     2008  

U.S. defined benefit plans

    

Discount rate

   6.25   6.8

Average increase in compensation

   0 to 3.5   4.7

Non-U.S. defined benefit plans

    

Discount rate

   2.0 to 6.78   2.25 to 6.9

Average increase in compensation

   2.0 to 4.7   1.0 to 4.5

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same estimated time period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return of the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

The weighted-average allocation of the majority of the assets related to defined benefit plans is as follows:

 

     2009     2008  

Equity securities

   60   62

Debt securities

   32   32

Other

   8   6
            
   100   100
            

The investment strategy for the defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk. This strategy requires an investment portfolio that is broadly diversified across various asset classes and investment managers. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is 62 percent equity securities, 33 percent debt securities and 5 percent other. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the plans’ assets included Company stock with market values of $53,717 and $89,307, respectively.

Employee Savings Plan - The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of its existing savings and investment 401(k) plan. The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees. Parker Hannifin common stock is used to match contributions made by employees to the ESOP up to a maximum of 4.0 percent of an employee’s annual compensation. A breakdown of shares held by the ESOP is as follows:

 

     2009    2008    2007

Allocated shares

   11,189,598      11,123,057      11,618,229

Suspense shares

        202,587      621,648
                  

Total shares held by the ESOP

   11,189,598      11,325,644      12,239,877
                  

Fair value of suspense shares

      $ 14,449    $ 40,577
                

In 1999, the ESOP was leveraged and the loan was unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Company’s matching contribution and dividends on the shares held by the ESOP were used to repay the loan, and shares were released from the suspense account as the principal and interest are paid. The unreleased portion of the shares in the ESOP suspense account were not considered outstanding for purposes of earnings per share computations. The ESOP Trust repaid the loan in 2009 so there are no suspense shares remaining at June 30, 2009. Company contributions to the ESOP, recorded as compensation and interest expense, were $51,593 in 2009, $53,019 in 2008 and $51,647 in 2007. Dividends earned by the suspense shares and interest income within the ESOP totaled $162 in 2009, $796 in 2008 and $1,031 in 2007. In 2009, in lieu of cash, the Company issued 49,422 of its common shares out of treasury for the matching contribution.

The Company has a retirement income account (RIA) within the employee savings plan. The Company makes a contribution to the participant’s RIA account each year, the amount of which is based on the participant’s age and years of service. Participants do not contribute to the RIA. The Company recognized $14,489, $10,826 and $9,145 in expense related to the RIA in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2009, employees have elected to invest in 4,080,864 shares of common stock within the Company Stock Fund of the Parker Retirement Savings Plan.

Other Postretirement Benefits - The Company provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and eligible dependents. Most plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plans are unfunded and pay stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses incurred by retirees, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met. For most plans, the Company has established cost maximums to more effectively control future medical costs. The Company has reserved the right to change or eliminate these benefit plans.

Certain employees are covered under benefit provisions that include prescription drug coverage for Medicare eligible retirees. The impact of the subsidy received under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 on the Company’s other postretirement benefits was immaterial.

A summary of the Company’s other postretirement benefit plans follows:

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income is on a debit (credit) basis and is before the effect of income taxes. The amount of prior service (credit) and net actuarial (gain) loss that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into net periodic postretirement cost in 2010 is $450 and $245, respectively.

Historically, the Company has provided self-insured retiree medical plan benefits for non-union employees upon their retirement. The retiree was responsible for paying the premiums for the medical coverage but the Company paid the costs of administering the plans (i.e., claims processing costs). Absorbing the administration costs was considered a benefit under FASB Statement No. 106 as the employees who elected to enroll in the retiree medical plans paid a lower premium since the Company was paying the costs to administer the plan. In 2009, the Company discontinued its self-insured retiree medical plans for non-union employees and has therefore eliminated the cost associated with administering the plans. The Company recognized $22.4 million in income in 2009 as a result of eliminating the liability related to this benefit.

The assumptions used to measure the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefit obligations are:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

Discount rate

   6.71   6.23   6.0

Current medical cost trend rate

   9.25   9.7   10.2

Ultimate medical cost trend rate

   5.0   5.0   5.0

Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year

   2014      2014      2014   

The discount rate assumption used to measure the benefit obligation was 6.1 percent in 2009 and 6.71 percent in 2008.

 

13 - 32


Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $5,336, $5,252, $5,276, $5,200 and $5,161, respectively, and $27,368 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

 

     1% Increase    1% Decrease  

Effect on total of service and interest cost components

   $ 174    $ (149

Effect on postretirement benefit obligation

   $ 2,699    $ (2,333

Other - The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs, which permit officers, directors and certain management employees annually to elect to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement. The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred, Company match, and earnings on the deferrals. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to deferred compensation of $(27,167), $8,785 and $35,308, respectively.

The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs. The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

Share Repurchases - The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares each fiscal year equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. Repurchases are funded primarily from operating cash flows, and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. During 2009, the Company repurchased 7,557,284 shares of its common stock at an average price of $59.25 per share.

In August 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the accelerated purchase of $500 million of the Company’s common shares. This authorization is in addition to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. Under the accelerated repurchase program, the Company repurchased a total of 6,629,981 shares at an average purchase price of $75.48 per share.

 

12. Stock Incentive Plans

Stock-Based Awards - The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the granting of nonqualified options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) to officers and key employees of the Company. The nonqualified options allow the recipient to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock-based awards are granted. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock equal to the increase in value of the award between the grant date and the exercise date. Outstanding options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than 10 years after grant. The Company satisfies stock option and SAR exercises by issuing common shares out of treasury, which have been repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program described in Note 11, or through the issuance of previously unissued common shares.

During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $41,488, $44,947 and $33,203, respectively. The Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the grant price at the date stock-based awards are exercised. The related tax benefit is credited to Additional capital as the Company is currently in a windfall tax benefit position.

The fair value of each stock-based award granted in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

Risk-free interest rate

     3.2     4.4     4.7

Expected life of award

     4.9 yrs        5.2 yrs        5.1 yrs   

Expected dividend yield of stock

     1.3     1.4     1.5

Expected volatility of stock

     26.6     25.6     30.2

Weighted-average fair value

   $ 16.56      $ 16.61      $ 15.50   

The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term similar to the expected life of the award. The expected life of the award was derived by referring to actual exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s historical dividend rate and stock price over a period similar to the expected life of the award. The expected volatility of stock was derived by referring to changes in the Company’s historical common stock prices over a timeframe similar to the expected life of the award.

Shares surrendered upon exercise of stock options: 2009 – 90,129; 2008 – 732,920; 2007 – 1,192,791.

Restricted Stock - Restricted stock was issued under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program to certain key employees under the Company’s 2006-07-08, 2005-06-07 and 2004-05-06 Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP). Value of the payments was set at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. Shares were earned and awarded, and an estimated value was accrued, based upon attainment of criteria specified in the LTIP over the cumulative years of each three-year Plan. Plan participants are entitled to cash dividends and to vote their respective shares, but the shares are restricted as to transferability for three years following issuance.

Under the Company’s 2007-08-09 LTIP a payout of shares of restricted stock from the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program will be issued to certain key employees in August 2009. The balance of the 2007-08-09 LTIP payout will be made as deferred cash compensation (if elected by the participant) or in cash. The total payout, valued at $3,287, has been accrued over the three years of the plan. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to the LTIP of $(5,562), $25,681 and $37,205, respectively. The decrease in expense is primarily attributable to the impact the economic downturn has had on the Company’s financial performance and stock price during 2009.

Shares surrendered in connection with the LTIP: 2009 – 60,247; 2008 – 109,642; 2007 – 23,427.

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, 12,150, 14,850 and 13,500 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were issued to certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Transferability of these shares is restricted for one to three years following issuance. In addition, non-employee members of the Board of Directors have been given the opportunity to receive all or a portion of their fees in the form of restricted stock. These shares vest ratably, on an annual basis, over the term of office of the director. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, 3,868, 2,526 and 14,495 shares, respectively, were issued in lieu of directors’ fees.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 20 million common shares reserved for issuance in connection with its stock incentive plans.

13. Shareholders’ Protection Rights Agreement

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Shareholders’ Right for each common share outstanding on February 17, 2007 in relation to the Company’s Shareholders Protection Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2009, 160,488,591 common shares were reserved for issuance under this Agreement. Under certain conditions involving acquisition of, or an offer for, 15 percent or more of the Company’s common shares, all holders of Shareholders’ Rights would be entitled to purchase one common share at an exercise price currently set at $160. In addition, in certain circumstances, all holders of Shareholders’ Rights (other than the acquiring entity) would be entitled to purchase a number of common shares equal to twice the exercise price, or at the option of the Board, to exchange each Shareholders’ Right for one common share. The Shareholders’ Rights remain in existence until February 17, 2017, unless extended by the Board of Directors or earlier redeemed (at one cent per Shareholders’ Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the agreement. In the event of an unfriendly business combination attempt, the Shareholders’ Rights will cause substantial dilution to the person attempting the business combination. The Shareholders’ Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination that is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders since the Shareholders’ Rights may be redeemed.

 

14. Research and Development

Research and development costs amounted to $338,908 in 2009, $303,098 in 2008 and $253,091 in 2007. These amounts include both costs incurred by the Company related to independent research and development initiatives as well as costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts. Costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts amounted to $50,739 in 2009, $47,757 in 2008 and $40,894 in 2007. These costs are included in the total research and development cost for each of the respective years.

 

15. Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 indicates that, among other things, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. FASB Staff Position 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of Statement No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of Statement No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 follows:

Available for sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The fair value of derivatives is calculated through a model that utilizes market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies.

The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs which permit officers, directors and certain management employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their termination of employment. Changes in the value of the compensation deferred under these programs are recognized based on the fair value of the participants accounts based on their investment elections.

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Statement No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect to measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value that were otherwise not required to be measured at fair value under other accounting standards.

 

16. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on product liability claims, workers’ compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. The Company is self-insured in the United States for health care, workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and the established accruals for liabilities. While the outcome of pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations. Each of these lawsuits is described below. The Company has made all required payments and as of June 30, 2009 has a reserve of $2.8 million for future losses relating to these matters. Legal expenses related to these matters are being expensed as incurred.

On April 27, 2007, a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida issued a subpoena to Parker ITR and the Company requiring the production of documents, in particular documents related to communications with competitors and customers related to Parker ITR’s business unit that manufactures marine hose, typically used in oil transfer. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions.

On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On August 2, 2007, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) requested that Parker ITR submit a report to the JFTC on specific topics related to its investigation of marine hose suppliers. Brazilian competition authorities and Korean competition authorities commenced their investigations on November 14, 2007 and January 17, 2008, respectively. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Australia on May 29, 2009 and named Parker ITR as a respondent. Parker ITR and the Company have cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose and continue to cooperate with the investigations that remain ongoing.

In addition, during this time period, four class action lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Florida: Shipyard Supply LLC v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed May 17, 2007; Expro Gulf Limited v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed June 6, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Trelleborg Industrie S.A., et al., filed June 25, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Caleca, et al., filed July 12, 2007; and one in the Southern District of New York: Weeks Marine, Inc. v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed July 27, 2007. On September 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint. Plaintiffs have since filed another amended consolidated complaint naming prior owners of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose. Plaintiffs generally seek treble damages, a permanent injunction, attorneys’ fees, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

The time period for the alleged illegal activities by Parker ITR’s marine hose business unit varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, the Department of Justice, which initiated the April 2007 grand jury subpoenas, alleges that the challenged activities commenced in the United States in 1999 and ended May 2, 2007. The Department of Justice’s investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate.

 

13 - 38


In Brazil, Parker ITR filed a procedural defense in January 2008. The Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s filing. The Brazilian competition authorities’ investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate. The Brazilian authorities appear to be investigating the period from 1999 through May 2007. Because the Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s initial filing, the potential outcome of this investigation is uncertain and will depend on the resolution of numerous issues not yet addressed at the current preliminary stage of the investigation.

In Korea, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) submitted several questionnaires to Parker ITR in connection with their investigation of Parker ITR’s marine hose bidding activities in Korea from 1999 to May 2, 2007. Parker ITR responded to each questionnaire and continues to cooperate with the KFTC. The KFTC issued its final report on July 2, 2009, which imposed a fine of KRW 42 million (approximately USD 34 thousand) on Parker ITR. Parker ITR must pay the fine on or before September 8, 2009.

The JTFC completed its investigation and issued an administrative order requiring Parker ITR to take certain actions, including passing a board resolution that prohibited the challenged conduct in the future and to send letters to Parker ITR’s customers and competitors in Japan stating that Parker ITR would not engage in the challenged conduct in Japan in the future. Parker ITR has complied with the JFTC administrative order.

On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Commission treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on April 10, 2009.

Counsel for Parker ITR accepted service related to the ACCC’s statement of claim. A hearing was held on the matter on July 7, 2009. The matter was continued until certain other respondents are served. The ACCC appears to be investigating conduct for the period beginning as early as 1994 through 2007.

The Company and Parker ITR have reached a settlement of the class action litigation in the United States, which is subject to court approval. On February 17, 2009, Parker ITR entered into a separate agreement to settle possible private causes of action outside the United States.

Environmental - The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a reserve of $13,891 for environmental matters, which are probable and reasonably estimable. This reserve is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties. This reserve is net of $2,341 for discounting, primarily at a 4.5 percent discount rate, a portion of the costs to operate and maintain remediation treatment systems as well as gauge treatment system effectiveness through monitoring and sampling over periods up to 15 years.

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $13.9 million to a maximum of $74.2 million. The largest range for any one site is approximately $8.6 million. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of remedial action required, negotiations with federal and state agencies, changes in regulatory requirements and technology innovation, the effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or third party recoveries.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. We have excluded six entities from our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 because the entities were acquired in purchase business combinations during the year ended June 30, 2009. On a combined basis, the entities represent approximately 9.7 percent of total assets and 2.2 percent of total revenues as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” We concluded that based on our assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2009.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Parker Hannifin Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parker Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(1). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded six entities from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, because they were acquired in purchase business combinations during the year ended June 30, 2009. On a combined basis, the entities represent approximately 9.7 percent of total assets and 2.2 percent of revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009. Accordingly, our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, did not include the internal control over financial reporting of these six entities.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such fiscal 2009 and 2008 financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic fiscal 2009 and 2008 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, as of July 1, 2007.
