PART I

Item 1.      Business

Trimble Navigation Limited, a California corporation (“Trimble” or “the Company” or “we” or “our” or “us”), provides advanced positioning product solutions, typically to commercial and government users.  The principal application areas include surveying, agriculture, construction, asset management, mapping and mobile resource management. Our products provide benefits that can include lower operational costs, higher productivity, improved quality, and compliance. Product examples include agricultural and construction equipment, guidance systems, surveying instruments, systems that track fleets of vehicles, and data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information. In addition, we also manufacture components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems, and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

Our products often combine knowledge of location or position with a wireless link to provide a solution for a specific application.  Position is provided through a number of technologies including the Global Positioning System, or GPS, other Global Navigation Satellite Systems, or GNSS and their augmentation systems, and systems that use laser or optical technologies to establish position.  Wireless communication techniques include both public networks, such as cellular, and private networks, such as business band radio. Some of our products are augmented by our software; this includes embedded firmware that enables the positioning solution and application software that allows the customer to make use of the positioning information.

We design and market our own products. Our manufacturing strategy includes a combination of in-house assembly and third party subcontractors. Our global operations include major development, manufacturing, or logistics operations in the United States, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, China, and India. Products are sold through dealers, representatives, joint ventures, and other channels throughout the world. These channels are supported by our sales offices located in 19 countries.

We began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. Our common stock has been publicly traded on NASDAQ since 1990 under the symbol TRMB.

On January 17, 2007, our board of directors approved a 2-for-1 split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, payable February 22, 2007 to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007. All shares and per share information presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.

Technology Overview

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from applying Global Navigation Satellite System, or GNSS, technology to terrestrial applications.  The GNSS includes the network of 24 orbiting U.S. Global Positioning System, or GPS, radio navigation satellites and associated ground control that is funded and maintained by the U.S. Government and is available worldwide free of direct user fees, and the Russian GLONASS radio navigation satellite system. Both the European Community and China have announced plans to establish future operational radio navigation satellite systems. GNSS positioning is based on a technique that precisely measures distances from four or more satellites.  The satellites continuously transmit precisely timed radio signals using extremely accurate atomic clocks.  A GNSS receiver measures distances from the satellites in view by determining the travel time of a signal from the satellite to the receiver, and then uses those distances to compute its position. Under normal circumstances, a stand-alone GNSS receiver is able to calculate its position at any point on earth, in the earth's atmosphere, or in lower earth orbit, to approximately 10 meters, 24 hours a day. Much better accuracies are possible through a technique called “differential GNSS.” In addition to providing position, GNSS provides extremely accurate time measurement.

GNSS accuracy is dependent upon the locations of the receiver and the number of GNSS satellites that are above the horizon at any given time. Reception of GNSS signals requires line-of-sight visibility between the satellites and the receiver, which can be blocked by buildings, hills, and dense foliage. The receiver must have a line of sight to at least four satellites to determine its latitude, longitude, and time. The accuracy of GNSS may also be limited by distortion of GNSS signals from ionospheric and other atmospheric conditions.

Our GNSS products are based on proprietary receiver technology. Over time, the advances in positioning, wireless communications, and information technologies have enabled us to add more capability to our products and thereby deliver more value to our users. GPS is being modernized and GLONASS modernization is planned.  For example, the developments in wireless technology and deployments of next generation wireless    networks have enabled less expensive wireless communications.  These developments provide the efficient transfer of position data to locations away from the positioning field device, allowing the data to be accessed by more users, thereby increasing productivity.  This allows us to integrate visualization and design software into some of our systems, as well as offer positioning services, all of which make our customers more efficient at what they do.


Our laser and optical products either measure distances and angles to provide a position in three dimensional space or are used as highly accurate laser references from which a position can be established.  The key elements of these products are typically a laser, which is generally a commercially available laser diode, and a complex mechanical assembly.  These elements are augmented by software algorithms to provide measurements and application-specific solutions.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is developed around an analysis of several key elements:

 
·
Attractive markets – We focus on underserved markets that offer potential for revenue growth, profitability, and market leadership.

 
·
Innovative solutions that provide significant benefits to our customers – We seek to apply our technology to applications in which position data is important and where we can create unique value by enabling enhanced productivity in the field or field to back office.  We look for opportunities in which the rate of technological change is high and which have a requirement for the integration of multiple technologies into a solution.

 
·
Distribution channels to best access our markets – We select distribution channels that best serve the needs of individual markets. These channels can include independent dealers, direct sales, joint ventures, OEM sales, and distribution alliances with key partners. We view international expansion as an important element of our strategy and continue to develop international channels.

Business Segments and Markets

We are organized into four reporting segments encompassing our various applications and product lines: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices. Our segments are distinguished by the markets they serve. Each segment consists of businesses which are responsible for product development, marketing, sales, strategy, and financial performance.

Engineering and Construction

Products in the Engineering and Construction segment improve productivity and accuracy throughout the entire construction process including the initial survey, planning, design, site preparation, and building phases.  Our products are intended to both improve the productivity of each phase, as well as facilitate the entire process by improving information flow from one phase to the next.

Our Engineering and Construction product solutions typically integrate a wide range of positioning technologies including GPS/GNSS, laser, optical, 3D scanning, and inertial technologies with application software, wireless communications and services to provide complete solutions.  Our integrated solutions allow customers to collect, manage, and analyze complex information.  An example is the Connected Site solutions for development projects.  The approach consists of mapping and understanding the workflow of a specific industry segment and then ensuring there is software and hardware integration between each segment of the workflow, such as the building of a water supply and treatment plant for a village.  The work requires mapping and evaluation of water resources, engineering and design, construction and life cycle management.  The Connected Site plays an important role at each and every stage.  It ensures fast, accurate exchange of data and information among field and office teams, contractors, and management.  Because of its inherent flexibility and ability to evolve with a project, the Connected Site can deliver significant contributions to the sustainable infrastructure development.

This software enables consumers to research specific trips on-line as part of trip pre-planning. In addition, users are able to share outdoor and off-road experiences on-line with their friends and family.

Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

Our growth strategy is centered on developing and marketing innovative and complete value-added solutions to our existing customers, while also marketing them to new customers and geographic regions. In some cases, this has led to partnering with or acquiring companies that bring technologies, products or distribution capabilities that will allow us to establish a market beachhead, penetrate a market more effectively, or develop solutions more quickly than if we had done so solely through internal development. Since 1999, this has led us to form five joint ventures and acquire forty three companies through the end of fiscal 2009.  Most of these acquisitions have been small, both in dollar terms and in number of people added to the Trimble employee base.  The following companies and joint ventures were acquired or formed during fiscal 2009 and are combined in the results of operations since the date of acquisition or formation:

Beijing Kegong Trimble Navigation Technology

On October 15, 2009, Beijing Kegong Trimble Navigation Technology, a joint venture formed by the China Aerospace Science & Industry Academy of Information Technology (CASIC-IT) and us, began operations. We and CASIC-IT both maintain a 50% ownership. Beijing Kegong Trimble Navigation Technology combines the commercial expertise, knowledge and technologies of both CASIC-IT and Trimble. The joint venture will develop, manufacture, and distribute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and systems based on the Chinese Compass satellite system.

Farm Works

On July 16, 2009, we acquired the assets of privately-held CTN Data Service, LLC, creator of Farm Works software, located in Hamilton, Indiana. Farm Works provides integrated office and mobile software solutions for both the farmer and agriculture service professional. Farm Works’ performance is reported under our Field Solutions business segment.

Accutest

On June 5, 2009, we acquired Accutest Engineering Solutions Ltd, based in Derbyshire, UK. Accutest is a leading provider of vehicle diagnostics and telematics technologies for the automotive industry. Accutest’s performance is reported under our Mobile Solutions business segment.

NTech

On June 4, 2009, we acquired privately-held NTech Industries, based in Ukiah, Calif. NTech is a leading provider of crop-sensing technology that allows farmers to reduce costs and environmental impact by controlling the application of nitrogen, herbicide, and other crop inputs.  NTech’s performance is reported under our Field Solutions business segment.

QuickPen

On March 12, 2009, we acquired privately-held QuickPen International based in Englewood, Colorado. QuickPen is a leading provider of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical construction, and plumbing industries. QuickPen’s performance is reported under our Engineering and Construction business segment.

Patents, Licenses and Intellectual Property

We hold approximately 750 U.S. issued and enforceable patents and approximately 140 non-U.S. patents, the majority of which cover GPS technology and other applications such as optical and laser technology.


We prefer to own the intellectual property used in our products, either directly or through subsidiaries. From time to time we license technology from third parties.

There are approximately 379 trademarks registered to Trimble and its subsidiaries including "Trimble," the globe triangle design, SITECH, and Spectra Precision, among others that are registered in the United States and other countries. Additional trademarks are pending registration.

Sales and Marketing

We tailor the distribution channel to the needs of our products and regional markets through a number of sales channel solutions around the world. We sell our products worldwide primarily through dealers, distributors, and authorized representatives, occasionally granting exclusive rights to market certain products within specific countries. This channel is supported and supplemented (where third party distribution is not available) by our regional sales offices throughout the world. We also utilize distribution alliances, OEM relationships, and joint ventures with other companies as a means to serve selected markets.

During fiscal 2009, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 23%, Asia Pacific represented 17%, and other regions represented 10% of our total revenue. During fiscal 2008, sales to customers in the United States represented 49%, Europe represented 25%, Asia Pacific represented 14%, and other regions represented 12% of our total revenue. During fiscal 2007, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 27%, Asia Pacific represented 12%, and other regions represented 11% of our total revenue.

Warranty

The warranty periods for our products are generally between 90 days and three years. Selected military programs may require extended warranty periods up to 5.5 years and certain Nikon products have a five-year warranty period. We support our GPS products through a circuit board replacement program from locations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and the United States. The repair and calibration of our non-GPS products are available from company-owned or authorized facilities. We reimburse dealers and distributors for all authorized warranty repairs they perform.

While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Seasonality of Business

* Our individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns. Typically, the second fiscal quarter has been the strongest quarter for the Company driven by the construction buying season. However during the recent past, this pattern has been disrupted by the global economic crisis.

Backlog

In most of our markets, the time between order placement and shipment is short.  Orders are generally placed by customers on an as-needed basis.  In general, customers may cancel or reschedule orders without penalty.  For these reasons, we do not believe that orders are an accurate measure of backlog and, therefore, we believe that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future revenue or material to understanding our business.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing of many of our GNSS products is subcontracted to Flextronics International Limited in Mexico. We utilize Flextronics for most of Survey, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions products. We also utilize Benchmark Electronics Inc. in China and Mexico for our Component Technologies products and many of our Construction products. Flextronics is responsible for substantially all material procurement, assembly, and testing. We continue to manage product design through pilot production for the subcontracted products, and we are directly involved in qualifying suppliers and key components used in all our products. Our current contract with Flextronics continues in effect until either party gives the other ninety days written notice.


We manufacture GPS, laser, and optics-based products at our plants in Dayton, Ohio; Danderyd, Sweden; and Shanghai, China. Some of these products or portions of these products are also subcontracted to third parties for assembly.

Our design and manufacturing sites in Dayton, Ohio; Sunnyvale, California; Danderyd, Sweden; and Kaiserslautern, Germany are registered to ISO9001:2000, covering the design, production, distribution, and servicing of all our products.

Research and Development

We believe that our competitive position is maintained through the development and introduction of new products that incorporate improved features, better performance, smaller size and weight, lower cost, or some combination of these factors. We invest substantially in the development of new products. We also make significant investment in the positioning, communication, and information technologies that underlie our products and will likely provide competitive advantages.

Our research and development expenditures, net of reimbursed amounts were $136.6 million for fiscal 2009, $148.3 million for fiscal 2008, and 131.5 million for fiscal 2007.

* We expect to continue investing in research and development with the goal of maintaining or improving our competitive position, as well as the goal of entering new markets.

Employees

As of January 1, 2010, we employed 3,794 employees, including 20% in manufacturing, 28% in engineering, 39% in sales and marketing, and 13% in general and administrative positions. Approximately 44% of employees are in locations outside the United States.

Our employees are not represented by unions except for those in Sweden.  Some employees in Germany are represented by works councils. We also employ temporary and contract personnel that are not included in the above headcount numbers. We have not experienced work stoppages or similar labor actions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K and in any other documents to which we refer you in this Form 10-K, before purchasing our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.

Current Economic Conditions May Have an Impact on Our Business and Financial Condition in Ways that We Currently Cannot Predict.

The Company’s operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of business spending, which have deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Uncertainties in the financial and credit markets have caused our customers to postpone purchases, and continued uncertainties may reduce future sales of our products and services.  Continued adverse economic conditions are likely to depress tax revenue of federal, state and local government entities, which are significant purchasers of the Company’s products. Protectionist trade measures that may be adopted in response to the economic downturn could reduce demand for our products and services overseas. With the exception primarily of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and our dealers depend on the availability of credit to finance purchases of our products for their inventory.

Customer collections are our primary source of cash.  While we believe we have a strong customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, if the current market conditions deteriorate, we may experience increased collection times or greater write-offs, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.  In addition, the Company's results may be adversely affected if the Company is unable to market, manufacture, and ship new products. Any write-off of goodwill could also negatively impact our financial results.  Finally, our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an impact on our flexibility to pursue additional expansion opportunities and maintain our desired level of revenue growth in the future. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products and services and on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Our Inability to Accurately Predict Orders and Shipments May Subject Our Results of Operations to Significant Fluctuations From Quarter to Quarter


We have not been able in the past to consistently predict when our customers will place orders and request shipments so that we cannot always accurately plan our manufacturing requirements. As a result, if orders and shipments differ from what we predict, we may incur additional expense and build excess inventory, which may require additional reserves and allowances. Accordingly, we have limited visibility into future changes in demand and our results of operations may be subject to significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter.

Our Operating Results in Each Quarter May Be Affected by Special Conditions, such as Seasonality, Late Quarter Purchases, Weather, and Other Potential Issues

Due in part to the buying patterns of our customers, a significant portion of our quarterly revenue occurs from orders received and immediately shipped to customers in the last few weeks and days of each quarter, although our operating expense tends to remain fairly predictable. Engineering and Construction purchases tend to occur in early spring, and governmental agencies tend to utilize funds available at the end of the government’s fiscal year for additional purchases at the end of our third fiscal quarter in September of each year. Concentrations of orders sometimes also occur at the end of our other two fiscal quarters. Additionally, a majority of our sales force earns commissions on a quarterly basis which may cause concentrations of orders at the end of any fiscal quarter. It could harm our operating results if for any reason expected sales are deferred, orders are not received, or shipments are delayed a few days at the end of a quarter.

We Are Dependent on a Specific Manufacturer and Assembler for Many of Our Products and on Specific Suppliers of Critical Parts for Our Products

We are substantially dependent upon Flextronics International Limited as our preferred manufacturing partner for many of our GPS products. Under the agreement, we provide to Flextronics a twelve-month product forecast and place purchase orders with Flextronics at least thirty calendar days in advance of the scheduled delivery of products to our customers, depending on production lead time. Although purchase orders placed with Flextronics are cancelable, the terms of the agreement would require us to purchase from Flextronics all inventory not returnable or usable by other Flextronics customers. Accordingly, if we inaccurately forecast demand for our products, we may be unable to obtain adequate manufacturing capacity from Flextronics to meet customers’ delivery requirements or we may accumulate excess inventories, if such inventories are not usable by other Flextronics customers. Our current contract with Flextronics continues in effect until either party gives the other ninety days written notice.

In addition, we rely on specific suppliers for a number of our critical components. We have experienced shortages of components in the past. Our current reliance on specific or a limited group of suppliers involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components, reduced control over pricing, and economic conditions which may adversely impact the viability of our suppliers. This situation may be exacerbated during any period of economic recovery. Any inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us to seek alternative sources of supply or to manufacture such components internally could significantly delay our ability to ship our products, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could harm our reputation and brand as well as our operating results.

Our Annual and Quarterly Performance May Fluctuate Which Could Negatively Impact Our Operations and Our Stock Price

Our operating results have fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future on a quarterly and annual basis as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Results in any period could be affected by:


·
changes in market demand,
·
competitive market conditions,
·
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
·
the cost and availability of components,
·
the mix of our customer base and sales channels,
·
the mix of products sold,
·
pricing of products,
·
our ability to expand our sales and marketing organization effectively,
·
our ability to attract and retain key technical and managerial employees, and
·
general global economic conditions.

In addition, demand for our products in any quarter or year may vary due to the seasonal buying patterns of our customers in the agricultural and engineering and construction industries. The price of our common stock could decline substantially in the event such fluctuations result in our financial performance being below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which are based primarily on historical models that are not necessarily accurate representations of the future.


We Are Dependent on New Products and if We are Unable to Successfully Introduce Them Into The Market, Our Customer Base May Decline or Fail to Grow as Anticipated

Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to bring new products to market on a timely basis. We must continue to make significant investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new products, enhance existing products, and achieve market acceptance of such products. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new products. Our development stage products may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we were unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new products, and enhance existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Development and manufacturing schedules for technology products are difficult to predict, and we might not achieve timely initial customer shipments of new products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. If we are unable to introduce new products, if other companies develop similar technology products, or if we do not develop compelling new products, our number of customers may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, which could harm our operating results.

The Actions that We Have Taken in Response to The Global Economic Slowdown and Our Related Business Slowdown May Not Be as Effective as Anticipated.

We have taken actions to reduce our cost structure to more closely align our costs with our revenue levels.  In taking these actions, we are attempting to balance the cost reductions from such initiatives against the risk of impairing our ability to operate our business and capitalize on any recovery.  If we do not achieve the proper balance of these costs reduction initiatives, we may impair critical elements our operations, the loss of which could negatively impact our ability to remain competitive in the market place or to benefit from an economic recovery.  We cannot assure our cost cutting efforts will achieve appropriate levels of expenses and we may take additional actions in the future.

We Are Dependent on Proprietary Technology, which Could Result in Litigation that Could Divert Significant Valuable Resources

Our future success and competitive position is dependent upon our proprietary technology, and we rely on patent, trade secret, trademark, and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. The patents owned or licensed by us may be invalidated, circumvented, and challenged. The rights granted under these patents may not provide competitive advantages to us. Any of our pending or future patent applications may not be issued within the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all.

Others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around the patents owned by us. In addition, effective copyright, patent, and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain countries. The steps taken by us to protect our technology might not prevent the misappropriation of such technology.

The value of our products relies substantially on our technical innovation in fields in which there are many current patent filings. We recognize that as new patents are issued or are brought to our attention by the holders of such patents, it may be necessary for us to withdraw products from the market, take a license from such patent holders, or redesign our products. We do not believe any of our products currently infringe patents or other proprietary rights of third parties, but we cannot be certain they do not do so. In addition, the legal costs and engineering time required to safeguard intellectual property or to defend against litigation could become a significant expense of operations. Any such litigation could require us to incur substantial costs and divert significant valuable resources, including the efforts of our technical and management personnel, which harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Investing in and Integrating New Acquisitions Could be Costly and May Place a Significant Strain on Our Management Systems and Resources Which Could Negatively Impact Our Operating Results

We have recently acquired a number of companies, and intend to continue to acquire other companies. Acquisitions of companies entail numerous risks, including:


·
potential inability to successfully integrate acquired operations and products or to realize cost savings or other anticipated benefits from integration,
·
loss of key employees of acquired operations,


·
the difficulty of assimilating geographically dispersed operations and personnel of the acquired companies,
·
the potential disruption of our ongoing business,
·
unanticipated expense related to acquisitions; including significant transactions costs which under the new accounting rules, are required to be expensed rather than capitalized,
·
the correct assessment of the relative percentages of in-process research and development expense that can be immediately written off as compared to the amount which must be amortized over the appropriate life of the asset,
·
the impairment of relationships with employees and customers of either an acquired company or our own business, and
·
the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired business.

As a result of such acquisitions, we have significant assets that include goodwill and other purchased intangibles. The testing of this goodwill and intangibles for impairment under established accounting guidelines requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in business conditions could require adjustments to the valuation of these assets. In addition, losses incurred by a company in which we have an investment may have a direct impact on our financial statements or could result in our having to write-down the value of such investment. Any such problems in integration or adjustments to the value of the assets acquired could harm our growth strategy, and could be costly and place a significant strain on our management systems and resources.

Our Products May Contain Errors or Defects, which Could Result in Damage to Our Reputation, Lost Revenue, Diverted Development Resources and Increased Service Costs, Warranty Claims, and Litigation

We warrant that our products will be free of defect for various periods of time, depending on the product. In addition, certain of our contracts include epidemic failure clauses. If invoked, these clauses may entitle the customer to return or obtain credits for products and inventory, or to cancel outstanding purchase orders even if the products themselves are not defective.

We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing market, and we have a history of frequently introducing new products. Products and services as sophisticated as ours could contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. In general, our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenue, diverted development resources, increased customer service and support costs, warranty claims, and litigation.

We Are Dependent on the Availability of Allocated Bands within the Radio Frequency Spectrum

Our GNSS technology is dependent on the use of satellite signals from space and on terrestrial communication bands.  International allocations of radio frequency are made by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a specialized technical agency of the United Nations. These allocations are further governed by radio regulations that have treaty status and which may be subject to modification every two to three years by the World Radio Communication Conference.  Each country also has regulatory authority on how each band is used.

Any ITU or local reallocation of radio frequency bands, including frequency band segmentation or sharing of spectrum, may materially and adversely affect the utility and reliability of our products. Many of our products use other radio frequency bands, together with the GNSS signal, to provide enhanced GNSS capabilities, such as real-time kinematics precision. The continuing availability of these non-GNSS radio frequencies is essential to provide enhanced GNSS products to our precision survey, agriculture, and construction machine controls markets. In addition, emissions from other services and equipment operating in adjacent frequency bands or in-band may impair the utility and reliability of our products.  Any regulatory changes in spectrum allocation or in allowable operating conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have certain products, such as GPS RTK systems, and surveying and mapping systems that use integrated radio communication technology requiring access to available radio frequencies allocated to local government.  Some bands are experiencing congestion. In the U.S., the FCC announced that it will require migration of radio technology from wideband to narrowband operations in these bands. The rules require migration of users to narrowband channels by 2011. In the meantime, congestion could cause FCC coordinators to restrict or refuse licenses. An inability to obtain access to these radio frequencies by end users could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Many of Our Products Rely on GNSS technology, the GPS, and other Satellite Systems, Which May Become Inoperable and Result in Lost Revenue


GNSS technology, GPS satellites and their ground support systems are complex electronic systems subject to electronic and mechanical failures and possible sabotage.  Many of the GPS satellites currently in orbit were originally designed to have lives of 7.5 years and are subject to damage by the hostile space environment in which they operate. However, of the current deployment of 30 satellites in place, some have already been in operation for more than 12 years. To repair damaged or malfunctioning satellites is currently not economically feasible. If a significant number of satellites were to become inoperable, there could be a substantial delay before they are replaced with new satellites. A reduction in the number of operating satellites may impair the current utility of the GPS system and the growth of current and additional market opportunities.  GPS satellites and ground control segments are being modernized.   GPS modernization software updates can cause problems.  We depend on public access to open technical specifications in advance of GPS updates.

As the only complete GNSS currently in operation, we are dependent on continued operation of GPS.  GPS is operated by the U. S. Government, which is committed to maintenance and improvement of GPS; however if the policy were to change, and GPS were no longer supported by the U. S. Government, or if user fees were imposed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Many of our products also use signals from systems that augment GPS, such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and National Differential GPS System (NDGPS). Many of these augmentation systems are operated by the federal government and rely on continued funding and maintenance of these systems. In addition, some of our products also use satellite signals from the Russian GLONASS System. Any curtailment of the operating capability of these systems could result in decreased user capability thereby impacting our markets.

The European community has begun development of an independent radio navigation satellite system, known as Galileo. We have access to the preliminary signal design, which is subject to change and which requires a commercial license from Galileo authorities. Although an operational Galileo system is several years away, if we are unable to develop a timely commercial product, or obtain a timely commercial license, it could result in lost revenue which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Our Business is Subject to Disruptions and Uncertainties Caused by War or Terrorism

Acts of war or acts of terrorism, especially any directed at the GPS signals, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. The threat of terrorism and war and heightened security and military response to this threat, or any future acts of terrorism, may invoke a redeployment of the satellites used in GPS or interruptions of the system. To the extent that such interruptions result in delays or cancellations of orders, or the manufacture or shipment of our products, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We Are Exposed to Fluctuations in Currency Exchange Rates and Although We Hedge Against These Risks, Our Attempts to Hedge Could be Unsuccessful and Expose Us to Losses

A significant portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S., and as such, we face exposure to movements in non-U.S. currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows. Fluctuation in currency impacts our operating results.

Currently, we hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The hedging activities undertaken by us are intended to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain non-functional currency assets and liabilities. Our attempts to hedge against these risks could be unsuccessful and expose us to losses.

Our Debt Could Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and Prevent Us from Fulfilling Our Financial Obligations

We have an existing unsecured revolving credit agreement, under which we have an ability to borrow an aggregate amount of up to $300 million.  As of January 1, 2010, $151.0 million was outstanding under this line of credit. Debt incurred under this agreement could have important consequences, such as:

·
requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations and other capital resources to debt service, thereby reducing our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other cash requirements,
·
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions,
·
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in, our industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage, and


·
limiting our ability to incur additional debt on acceptable terms, if at all.

Additionally, if we were to default under our amended credit agreement and were unable to obtain a waiver for such a default, interest on the obligations would accrue at an increased rate and the lenders could accelerate our obligations under the amended credit agreement, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.  Additionally, our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the amended credit agreement could be required to pay the full amount of our obligations under the amended credit agreement.  Any such action on the part of the lenders against us could harm our financial condition.

We May Not Be Able to Enter Into or Maintain Important Alliances

We believe that in certain business opportunities our success will depend on our ability to form and maintain alliances with industry participants, such as Caterpillar, Nikon, and CNH Global. Our failure to form and maintain such alliances, or the pre-emption of such alliances by actions of competitors or us, will adversely affect our ability to penetrate emerging markets. If we experience problems from current or future alliances it could harm our operating results and we may not be able to realize value from any such strategic alliances.

We Face Competition in Our Markets Which Could Decrease Our Revenue and Growth Rates or Impair Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

Our markets are highly competitive and we expect that both direct and indirect competition will increase in the future. Our overall competitive position depends on a number of factors including the price, quality and performance of our products, the level of customer service, the development of new technology and our ability to participate in emerging markets. Within each of our markets, we encounter direct competition from other GPS, optical and laser suppliers and competition may intensify from various larger U.S. and non-U.S. competitors and new market entrants, particularly from emerging markets such as China and India. The competition in the future may, in some cases, result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could decrease our revenue and growth rates or impair our operating results and financial condition. We believe that our ability to compete successfully in the future against existing and additional competitors will depend largely on our ability to execute our strategy to provide systems and products with significantly differentiated features compared to currently available products. We may not be able to implement this strategy successfully, and our products may not be competitive with other technologies or products that may be developed by our competitors, many of whom have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and other resources than we do.

We Are Subject to the Impact of Governmental and Other Similar Certifications and Failure to Obtain the Requisite Certifications Could Harm Our Operating Results

We market certain products that are subject to governmental and similar certifications before they can be sold. For example, CE certification for radiated emissions is required for most GPS receiver and data communications products sold in the European community. An inability to obtain such certifications in a timely manner could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Also, some of our products that use integrated radio communication technology require product type certification and some products require an end user to obtain licensing from the FCC for frequency-band usage. These are secondary licenses that are subject to certain restrictions. An inability or delay in obtaining such certifications or changes to the rules by the FCC could adversely affect our ability to bring our products to market which could harm our customer relationships and therefore, our operating results. Any failure to obtain the requisite certifications could also harm our operating results.

The Volatility of Our Stock Price Could Adversely Affect An Investment in Our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. During fiscal 2009, our stock price ranged from $12.09 to $25.85.  We believe that a variety of factors could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including:

·
announcements and rumors of developments related to our business or the industry in which we compete,
·
quarterly fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results and order levels,
·
general conditions in the worldwide economy,
·
acquisition announcements,
·
new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors,
·
developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation,
·
developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers, and
·
any significant acts of terrorism.


In addition, in recent years the stock market in general and the markets for shares of "high-tech" companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Any such fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may decline.

Changes in Our Effective Tax Rate May Reduce Our Net Income in Future Periods

A number of factors may increase our future effective tax rates, including:

·
the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed,
·
the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities,
·
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities,
·
increases in expense not deductible for tax purposes, including transaction costs and impairments of goodwill in connection with acquisitions,
·
changes in available tax credits,
·
changes in share-based compensation,
·
changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws, and changes in generally accepted accounting principles,
·
the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes, and
·
challenges to the transfer pricing policies related to our global supply chain management structure.

We are currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state, and foreign taxing authorities, including an audit of our 2005 through 2008 tax years by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Among other things, the IRS is examining our intercompany transfer pricing.  Our effective tax rate is based on the  geographic mix of earnings, statutory rates, intercompany transfer pricing, and enacted tax rules.  If the IRS or the taxing authorities of any other jurisdiction were to successfully challenge a material tax position, we could become subject to higher taxes and our earnings would be adversely affected.  In addition, proposals for changes in U.S. tax laws that may be considered or adopted in the future could subject the Company to higher taxes or result in changes to tax law provisions that currently provide favorable tax treatment.

Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program (“2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing us to repurchase up to $250 million of Trimble’s common stock under this program. We repurchased approximately 4,243,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $29.67 per share, for a total of $125.9 million in 2008.  No shares of common stock were repurchased in 2009.  The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings.  Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.  All common shares repurchased under this program have been retired. As of January 1, 2010, the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $124.1 million.  The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions.  The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.

As of February 24, 2010, there were approximately 944 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock during any period for which financial information is provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. At this time, we intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Under the existing terms of our credit facility, we are allowed to pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, the leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00 and after giving pro forma effect to such dividend or share repurchase, the leverage ratio will be less than 2.00:1.00. Should the leverage ratio be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00 without exceeding a leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00, we can pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock in any twelve (12) month period, in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of net income (plus, to the extent deducted in determining net income for such period, non-cash expenses in respect of stock options) for the previous twelve-month period, plus an additional $50 million over the term of the credit facility subject to pro forma compliance with our fixed charge coverage ratio covenant. Otherwise, dividends and share repurchases are restricted by our Credit Agreement.

Item 7.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those listed under "Risks Factors." We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements in this report by placing an asterisk (*) before paragraphs containing such material.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

Trimble’s focus is on combining positioning technology with wireless communication and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that enhance productivity and accuracy for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, governmental organizations, public safety workers, farmers, and companies who must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. In our Advanced Devices segment, we also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their products.  In the end user markets, we provide a system that includes a hardware platform that may contain software and customer support. Some examples of our solutions include products that automate and simplify the process of surveying land, products that automate the utilization of equipment such as tractors and bulldozers, products that enable a company to manage its mobile workforce and assets, and products that allow municipalities to manage their fixed assets. In addition, we also provide software applications on a stand-alone basis. For example, we provide software for project management on construction sites.

Solutions targeted at the end-user make up a significant majority of our revenue. To create compelling products, we must attain an understanding of the end users’ needs and work flow, and how location-based technology can enable that end user to work faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. We use this knowledge to create highly innovative products that change the way work is done by the end-user. With the exception of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and it is crucial that we maintain a proficient, global, third-party distribution channel.

We continued to execute our strategy with a series of actions that can be summarized in three categories.

Reinforcing our position in existing markets

We believe these markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. We are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market.  In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduced a new portfolio of Robotic Total Stations (RTS555, RTS655, and RTS633) for construction layout applications, the AllTrak™ Asset Management system which is designed to help contractors manage their construction equipment and tools, as well as the new Nomad 800X series of rugged handheld computers that offer cellular data transmission, digital photography, and bar-code scanning.

In our Field Solutions segment, we introduced a Variable Rate Application Option for our EZ Guidance 500 Systems, new AgGPS Autopilot platform kits for tractors, combines, and sprayers, as well as the new Ag 162/262 Receivers that feature the Trimble proprietary Transcend Positioning Technology.  We also introduced the Field-IQ crop input control system that combines input control capabilities into one comprehensive modular system, reducing the need for complex calibrations.

In our Mobile Solutions segment, we introduced Trimble® Performance Manager, a unique alerting and business intelligence application that allows cost reductions through fewer miles driven and better utilization of fleet vehicles, and decreases an organization's carbon footprint. We also announced that Windstream Corporation, DirectSat USA, Linfox Logistics and British Gas have selected Trimble’s GeoManager for their MRM requirements.

In our Advanced Devices segment, we introduced the new solutions that enable continuous mobile positioning and high-accuracy orientation in poor signal environments.  We also released new versions of our AllSport GPS and Trimble Outdoors applications for the Android phone.  All of these products strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

Extending our position in new and existing markets through new product categories

* We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenue by bringing new products to new and existing users.  In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduced the PCS900 Paving Control system, an automatic 3D screed control system which improves paving productivity and rideability by directly referencing the road design and minimizing asphalt usage.  In our Field Solutions segment, the acquisition of NTech Industries extends our Precision Agriculture Solutions business with the addition of the GreenSeeker nitrogen application and WeedSeeker controlled herbicide application systems, while the acquisition of CTN Data provided the FarmWorks software solutions for information and farm operations management.  During the year, we also released the Ag GPS EZ Office 2010 software suite designed to help farmers easily map and manage field data. In our Mobile Solutions segment, we announced the acquisition of Accutest Engineering Solutions Ltd that expanded our vehicle diagnostic capabilities.


Bringing existing technology to new markets

* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets and position ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. Our efforts are focused in Africa, China, India, the Middle-East and Russia.  During the year, we conducted a highly successful User Conference in China that had more than 1,600 registered attendees.  We formed a 50/50 joint venture, Beijing Kegong Trible Navigation Technology, with China Aerospace Science & Industry Academy of Information Technology (CASIC-IT) to develop, manufacture, and distribute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and systems based on the Chinese Compass satellite system. We also signed a definitive agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture with China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co. Ltd. (CREEC) to develop and provide digital railway solutions that address the design, construction, and maintenance for the China railway industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider the accounting polices described below to be our critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Contracts and/or customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Revenue for orders is not recognized until the product is shipped and title has transferred to the buyer. We bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point. Our shipment terms for U.S. orders and international orders fulfilled from our European distribution center typically provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. If no precise point is indicated by the buyer, we may choose within the place or range stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier’s charge. Other shipment terms may provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the buyer.  Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon shipment, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not typically have a right of return.

Revenue from purchased extended warranty and support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the warranty/support period.

We present revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.

In instances where the embedded software in our products is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware, we generally recognize revenue once the product has shipped and title has transferred to the buyer, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The determination as to whether the embedded software is more than incidental to our products requires significant judgment including a consideration of factors such as marketing, research and development efforts, and any post-customer contract support (PCS) relating to the embedded software.


Our software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and PCS. We have established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for our PCS contracts based on renewal rates. The remaining value of the software arrangement is allocated to the license fee using the residual method.  License revenue is primarily recognized when the software has been delivered, and fair value has been established for all remaining undelivered elements. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.

Subscription revenue related to our hosted arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Under our hosted arrangements, the customer typically does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty and it is not feasible for the customer to run the software either on its own hardware or on a third-party’s hardware. Upfront fees related to our hosted solution primarily consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals, if any. For upfront fees relating to this proprietary hardware where the firmware is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware, we defer the upfront fees at installation and recognize them ratably over the minimum service contract period, generally one to five years. Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns

Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns reserve, was $202.3 million as of January 1, 2010, as compared with $204.3 million as of January 2, 2009. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3.9 million and $6.0 million as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively.  We evaluate ongoing collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates experienced in the ordinary course of business. The reserve for sales returns as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 was $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for estimated future returns that were recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected.

Inventory Valuation

Our inventories, net balance was $144.0 million as of January 1, 2010 as compared with $160.9 million as of January 2, 2009. Our inventory allowances as of January 1, 2010 were $28.1 million, as compared with $29.8 million as of January 2, 2009. Our inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.  Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances.  Factors influencing these adjustments include decline in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration, and quality issues. If actual factors are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized.

Relative to uncertain tax positions, we only recognize the tax benefit if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Our valuation allowance is primarily attributable to net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards.  Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not realize these deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for such amounts.  Beginning in 2009, we adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations, under which such valuation allowance adjustments associated with an acquisition closing after January 3, 2009 (and after the measurement period) are recorded through income tax expense. Prior to January 3, 2009, these adjustments were required to be recognized by adjusting the purchase price related to the acquisition.


Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Beginning in fiscal 2009, our identifiable intangible assets now include in-process research and development based on the revised accounting guidance for business combinations. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination, are recorded at fair value. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of distribution channels and distribution rights, patents, licenses, technology, acquired backlog, trademarks, and in-process research and development.  Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets, and have estimated useful lives ranging from one to fifteen years with a weighted average useful life of 6.4 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The annual goodwill impairment testing is performed in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.  Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process.  First, impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit.   The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.

Depreciation and amortization of the intangible assets and other long-lived assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to our business model, or changes in the capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives of intangible assets or other long-lived assets differing from initial estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of an asset should be revised, the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value will be expensed and the residual value is depreciated over its revised remaining useful life. These assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable based on their future cash flows. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. The assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value.

Warranty Costs

The liability for product warranties was $14.7 million as of January 1, 2010, as compared with $13.3 million as of January 2, 2009. We accrue for warranty costs as part of cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing work on our behalf. Our expected future cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost to repair or replace the equipment.  The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to three years, and in some instances, up to 5.5 years.

While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Stock-Based Compensation


We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 includes compensation expense for stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005.  The grant date fair value of these options was estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The grant date fair value for options granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 is estimated using a binomial valuation model. The fair value of rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables.  These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends.  In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term.

Beginning in fiscal 2006, our expected stock price volatility for stock purchase rights has been based on implied volatilities of traded options on our stock and our expected stock price volatility for stock options is based on a combination of our historical stock price volatility for the period commensurate with the expected life of the stock option and the implied volatility of traded options.  The use of implied volatilities was based upon the availability of actively traded options on our stock with terms similar to our awards and also upon our assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility.  However, because the expected life of our stock options is greater than the terms of our traded options, we used a combination of our historical stock price volatility commensurate with the expected life of our stock options and implied volatility of traded options.

We estimated the expected life of the awards based on an analysis of our historical experience of employee exercise and post-vesting termination behavior considered in relation to the contractual life of the options and purchase rights.  The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards.

We do not currently pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.  Accordingly, our expected dividend yield is zero.

Because stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.  The stock-based compensation guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions to determine the fair value of our share-based payment awards granted in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under it may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.  In addition, valuation models, including the Black-Scholes and binomial models, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our stock-based compensation.  Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination, or forfeiture of those stock-based payments in the future.  Certain stock-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.  Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.

See Note 2 and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

We have a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2009 was January 1, 2010.  Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2007 were both 52-week years. Fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year ..

Revenue

In fiscal 2009, total revenue decreased by $203.0 million, or 15%, to $1.13 billion from $1.33 billion in fiscal 2008. The decrease in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to slower sales in the Engineering and Construction segment. Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $163.1 million, or 22.0%, Field Solutions decreased $9.0 million, or 3%, Mobile Solutions decreased $12.2 million, or 7.3%, and Advanced Devices decreased $18.7 million, or 15.6%, as compared to fiscal 2008.  In fiscal 2009, the revenue decline was primarily due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets.

Although revenue decreased by 15% in fiscal 2009, our revenue in the fourth quarter increased by $9.4 million or 3.5% over the corresponding quarter in the prior year.

In fiscal 2008, total revenue increased by $107.0 million, or 9%, to $1.33 billion from $1.22 billion in fiscal 2007. The increase in fiscal 2008 was due to stronger performances in the Field Solutions and Mobile Solutions segments. Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 0.2%; Field Solutions increased $100.1 million, or 50%; Mobile Solutions increased $9.4 million, or 6%; and Advanced Devices decreased $0.9 million, or 1%, as compared to fiscal 2007.  In fiscal 2008, revenue growth was primarily driven by new products, a strong agricultural environment, as well as the impact of acquisitions partially offset by softness in European and U.S. markets in Engineering and Construction.

* During fiscal 2009, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 23%, Asia Pacific represented 17%, and other regions represented 10% of our total revenue. During fiscal 2008, sales to customers in the United States represented 49%, Europe represented 25%, Asia Pacific represented 14%, and other regions represented 12% of our total revenue.  During the 2007 fiscal year, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 27%, Asia Pacific represented 12%, and other regions represented 11% of our total revenue. We anticipate that sales to international customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenue.

* No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007. It is possible, however, that in future periods the failure of one or more large customers to purchase products in quantities anticipated by us may adversely affect the results of operations.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin varies due to a number of factors including product mix, pricing, distribution channel used, effects of production volumes, new product start-up costs, and foreign currency translations.

In fiscal 2009, our gross margin decreased by $99.3 million as compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to lower revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 48.8% both in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. The consistency in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to manufacturing cost reductions in Engineering and Construction and improved product mix in Field Solutions, offset by lower revenue as a percentage of fixed costs.

In fiscal 2008, our gross margin increased by $36.2 million as compared to fiscal 2007 primarily due to higher revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 48.8% in fiscal 2008 and 50.1% in fiscal 2007. The decrease in the gross margin percentage was driven primarily by increased amortization of purchased intangibles, and product mix.


* Because of potential product mix changes within and among the industry markets, market pressures on unit selling prices, fluctuations in unit manufacturing costs, including increases in component prices and other factors, current level gross margin cannot be assured.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased by $99.6 million for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008.  Operating income as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 2009 was 7.6% as compared to 14.0% for fiscal 2008. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by lower revenue and associated gross margin. The decrease in operating income percentage was primarily due by decreased operating expense leverage, primarily in Engineering and Construction, due to lower revenue.

Although our operating income decreased in fiscal 2009, our operating income in the fourth quarter increased by $2.2 million as compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year, due to strong expense control.

Operating income increased by $7.2 million for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.  Operating income as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 2008 was 14.0% as compared to 14.6% for fiscal 2007. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated gross margin. The decrease in operating income percentage was primarily due by increased amortization of purchased intangibles, product mix and foreign exchange.

Results by Segment

To achieve distribution, marketing, production, and technology advantages in our targeted markets, we manage our operations in the following four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions, and Advanced Devices. Operating income equals net revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, in-process research and development expense for acquisitions completed prior to fiscal 2009, restructuring charges, non-operating income, net, and income tax provision.

Engineering and Construction

Engineering and Construction revenue decreased by $163.1 million, or 22.0%, while segment operating income decreased by $67.7 million, or 53.7%, for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The revenue decrease was primarily due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets. Operating income decreased as a result of lower revenue, partially offset by a reduction in operating expense resulting from our restructuring activities and overall expense control.

Engineering and Construction revenue decreased by $1.6 million, or 0.2%, while segment operating income decreased by $48.0 million, or 28%, for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The revenue decrease was primarily due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets partially offset by strength in the rest of world markets. Operating income decreased as a result of the slight decline in revenue, product mix and operating expense associated with acquisitions in the last twelve months.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue decreased by approximately $9.0 million, or 3%, while segment operating income decreased by $5.0 million, or 4.6%, for fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by slower sales of agriculture products, both in the U.S. and internationally.  Operating income decreased primarily due to lower revenue.

Field Solutions revenue increased by approximately $100.1 million, or 50%, while segment operating income increased by $48.6 million, or 80%, for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by strong sales of agriculture products, both in the U.S. and internationally.  Operating income increased primarily due to increased revenue, as well as improvement in product costs.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue decreased by $12.2 million, or 7.3%, while segment operating income increased by $3.0 million, or 26.6%, for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008.  Revenue was down primarily due to decrease in ready mix hardware and subscription revenue as well as the impact in the prior year of the recognition of large non-recurring items.  Operating income increased primarily due to gross margin improvement and a reduction in operating expenses.

Mobile Solutions revenue increased by $9.4 million, or 6%, while segment operating income decreased by $1.2 million, or 9%, for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. Revenue grew due to increased subscription revenue and a full first quarter of @Road revenue as compared to a partial first quarter of @Road revenue in fiscal 2007.  Operating income decreased primarily due to increased research and development and sales expense for the Field Service software, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $18.7 million, or 15.6%, and segment operating income decreased by $7.2 million, or 29.5%, for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by slower sales of Component Technologies products.  Operating income decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by lower spending due to operating expense control.


Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 1%, and segment operating income increased by $7.2 million, or 42%, for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by slower sales of Component Technologies products.  Operating income increased due to product mix, royalty and licensing revenue.

Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expenses

The following table shows research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing, and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the narrative descriptions of those operating expenses below.

Overall, R&D, sales and marketing, and G&A expenses decreased by approximately $11.3 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

Research and development expense decreased by $11.6 million in fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008, primarily due to the impact of a decrease in compensation related expense, a decrease in R&D materials and a decrease due to foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by new R&D expense as a result of acquisitions not applicable in the prior year. All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Overall research and development spending was approximately 12% of revenue in fiscal 2009 and 11% in fiscal 2008.

Research and development expense increased by $16.8 million in fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, primarily due to the impact of new R&D expense as a result of acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, an increase in compensation related expense, an increase in R&D materials and an increase due to foreign currency exchange rates. All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Overall research and development spending remained relatively constant at approximately 11% of revenue.

* We believe that the development and introduction of new products are critical to our future success and we expect to continue active development of new products.

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $6.4 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in travel and trade show expense, and a decrease due to foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by new sales and marketing expenses as a result of acquisitions not applicable in the prior year. Spending overall was approximately 17% of revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to 15% in fiscal 2008.

Sales and marketing expense increased by $9.8 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to new sales and marketing expenses as a result of acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, an increase in compensation related expense and an increase in trade shows and marketing literature expense. Spending overall remained relatively constant at approximately 15% of revenue.

* Our future growth will depend in part on the timely development and continued viability of the markets in which we currently compete as well as our ability to continue to identify and develop new markets for our products.

General and administrative expense increased by $6.8 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to additional G&A expenses as a result of acquisitions, increased deferred compensation plan liabilities, and stock compensation expense, partially offset by foreign exchange rates. Spending overall was at approximately 9% of revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to 7% in fiscal 2008.


General and administrative expense increased by $1.5 million in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 primarily due to new G&A expenses as a result of acquisitions, partially offset by decreased compensation related expense and reduced deferred compensation liabilities. Spending overall was at approximately 7% of revenue in fiscal 2008 compared to 8% in fiscal 2007.

Other Operating Expenses

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expense for the three years ended January 1, 2010 was as follows:

Severance and benefits
  $ 10,754     $ 4,641     $ 3,025  

During fiscal 2009, restructuring expense of $10.8 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 340 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $6.4 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $4.4 million is included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Expense related to the decisions made through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 is all accrued as of January 1, 2010.

During fiscal 2008, restructuring expense of $4.6 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 100 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $2.7 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and $1.9 million is included within Cost of sales.

During fiscal, 2007, restructuring expense of $3.0 million was for charges associated with the Company’s acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expense was related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cash and $1.6 million was recorded in Shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with business combinations

In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2008, costs associated with exiting activities of companies the Company acquired in fiscal 2008 were $0.4 million, consisting of severance and benefits costs. These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combinations and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquisitions and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2008.

There were $1.1 million of adjustments that decreased the restructuring liability during fiscal 2008 and $0.2 million of adjustments that increased the restructuring liability during fiscal 2009. The 2008 adjustments related to differences between original estimates and actual payouts for severance and benefits, $0.9 million of which related to the @Road acquisition.

As of January 1, 2010, the $2.6 million restructuring accrual consists of severance and benefits. Of the $2.6 million restructuring accrual, $2.1 million is included in Other current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  The remaining balance of $0.5 million is included in Other non-current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

In-Process Research and Development


During fiscal 2009, the Company adopted the FASB’s revised accounting guidance on business combinations, which requires the estimated fair value of in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired to be capitalized as an intangible asset until the project is complete, at which point the asset is amortized over its estimated useful life, or written-off, if abandoned.  There was no IPR&D capitalized in 2009.  Prior to 2009, IPR&D was expensed.  In fiscal 2008, there was no IPR&D expense and in fiscal 2007, Company recorded IPR&D expense of $2.1 million related to the @Road acquisition.

Total amortization expense of purchased and other intangible assets was $52.7 million in fiscal 2009, of which $22.3 million was recorded in Cost of sales and $30.3 million was recorded in Operating expense. Total amortization expense of purchased and other intangibles represented 4.7% of revenue in fiscal 2009, an increase of $7.6 million from fiscal 2008 when it represented 3.4% of revenue. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of certain technology and patent intangibles as a result of acquisitions made in fiscal 2009, as well as fiscal 2008 acquisition intangibles that included a full year impact of amortization expense in fiscal 2009.

Total amortization expense of purchased and other intangible assets was $45.1 million in fiscal 2008, of which $22.7 million was recorded in Cost of sales and $22.4 million was recorded in Operating expense. Total amortization expense of purchased and other intangibles represented 3.4% of revenue in fiscal 2008, an increase of $6.3 million from fiscal 2007 when it represented 3.2% of revenue. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of certain technology and patent intangibles as a result of acquisitions made in fiscal 2008, as well as fiscal 2007 acquisition intangibles that included a full year impact of amortization expense in fiscal 2008.

Total non-operating income, net
  $ 1,801     $ 5,983     $ 5,489  

Total non-operating income, net decreased by $4.2 million during fiscal 2009 compared with fiscal 2008.  The decrease was due to lower income from joint ventures and lower foreign exchange gains, partially offset by gains on assets in our deferred compensation plan.

Total non-operating income, net increased by $0.5 million during fiscal 2008 compared with fiscal 2007.  The increase was due to lower interest expense due to lower average outstanding debt balances and interest rates, fluctuations in foreign currencies, largely offset by a decrease in interest income and losses on assets in our deferred compensation plan.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was 27%, 26% and 36% respectively.  The 2009 rate was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the implementation of a global supply chain management structure. Since 2007, we have licensed our US intellectual property to a foreign affiliated legal entity and implemented a global supply chain management structure which streamlined our worldwide operations.  We believe that the licensing of intellectual property was effected for consideration that was equivalent to arms-length negotiated pricing.  This resulted, beginning in 2008, in a tax benefit due to a lower foreign tax rate.  The Company’s policy is to indefinitely reinvest a portion of its undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided for these earnings.  The 2007 rate was different from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of stock-based compensation and state tax expense, reduced by the impact of federal and California research credit.


Litigation Matters

* From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no known claims or pending litigation that are expected to have a material effect on our overall financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business (see Contractual Obligations table below), we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we do not have any interest in, or relationship with, any special purpose entities.

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, we indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. We have agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and our bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of January 1, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $273.8 million compared to $142.5 million at January 2, 2009.  We had debt of $151.5 million at January 1, 2010 compared to $151.6 million at January 2, 2009.

* Our ability to continue to generate cash from operations will depend in large part on profitability, the rate of collections of accounts receivable, our inventory turns, and our ability to manage other areas of working capital.

* We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.

* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment, software, manufacturing tools and test equipment, and leasehold improvements associated with business expansion, will constitute a partial use of our cash resources.  Decisions related to how much cash is used for investing are influenced by the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations.


Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $194.6 million for fiscal 2009, as compared to $176.1 million for fiscal 2008. The increase of $18.6 million was due to a decrease in inventories and an increase in accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts receivable.

Cash provided by operating activities was $176.1 million for fiscal 2008, as compared to $187.0 million for fiscal 2007. This decrease of $10.9 million was due to a decrease in accounts payable, deferred revenue, income taxes payable, and accrued compensation and benefits, partially offset by an increase in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $83.9 million for fiscal 2009, as compared to $126.7 million for fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to less cash used for acquisitions in fiscal 2009.

Cash used in investing activities was $126.7 million for fiscal 2008, as compared to $311.4 million for fiscal 2007. The decrease was due to cash used for acquisitions, attributable primarily to @Road which was acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $16.1 million for fiscal 2009, as compared to cash used of $6.4 million during fiscal 2008. The increase of $22.6 million was primarily due to prior year stock repurchase activities, partially offset by prior year increase in debt.

Cash used in financing activities was $6.4 million for fiscal 2008, as compared to cash provided of $103.8 million during fiscal 2007, primarily due to stock repurchase activities, partially offset by net cash borrowed from our credit facilities.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were down slightly at 66 days as of January 1, 2010, as compared to 69 days as of January 2, 2009. Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding are calculated based on ending accounts receivable, net, divided by revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter, times a quarterly average of 91 days.  Our inventory turns were at 3.4 for fiscal 2009 as compared to 4.2 for fiscal 2008. Our inventory turnover is based on the total cost of sales for the fiscal period over the average inventory for the corresponding fiscal period.

Debt

At the end of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, our total debt was comprised primarily of our revolving credit line in the amount of $151.0 million.  As of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, there were also notes payable totaling approximately $483,000 and $588,000, respectively, consisting primarily of government loans to foreign subsidiaries.

On July 28, 2005, we entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent.   On February 16, 2007, we amended our existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, we exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012.   Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used for paying off other debts or loans.  The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00.  The funds available under the new 2007 Credit Facility may be used by us for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes. As of August 20, 2008, we amended the 2007 Credit Facility to allow us to redeem, retire or purchase Trimble common stock without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, and leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00. In addition, the definition of the fixed charge was amended to exclude the impact of redemptions, retirements, or purchases of Trimble common stock from the fixed charges coverage ratio. For additional discussion of our debt, see Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was repaid in full during fiscal 2008.

We may borrow funds under the 2007 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at our option, at either: (i) a base rate, based on the administrative agent's prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on our leverage ratio as of our most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (STIBOR), or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.625% and 1.125%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict our ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.  As of January 1, 2010 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

(1) We may borrow funds under the 2007 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies, and will bear interest as described under Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We estimate the interest to be 0.9 % per annum, based upon a historical average.

Total debt consists of a revolving credit line of $151.0 million under our credit facilities and $0.5 million primarily of government loans to foreign subsidiaries. (See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further financial information regarding long-term debt)

Other purchase obligations and commitments represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with our vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Our pension obligation, which is not included in the table above, is included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, as of January 1, 2010, we had acquisition earn-outs of $2.2 million and holdbacks of $19.7 million recorded in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities.”  The maximum remaining payments, which are not included in the table above, including the $2.2 million and $19.7 million recorded, will not exceed $46.6 million.  The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2012.


As of January 1, 2010 we had unrecognized tax benefits (included in Other non-current liabilities) of $37.0 million, including interest and penalties.  At this time, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement with tax authorities regarding this liability, and, therefore, such amounts are not included in the contractual obligations table above.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The impact of recent accounting pronouncements is disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors.

Market Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market funds, treasury bills, commercial paper (FDIC insured), interest and non-interest bearing bank deposits as well as bank time deposits for fiscal 2008. The main objective of these instruments was safety of principal and liquidity while maximizing return, without significantly increasing risk.

* Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, we do not anticipate any material effect on our portfolio due to fluctuations in interest rates.

We are exposed to market risk due to the possibility of changing interest rates under our senior secured credit facilities. Our credit facility is comprised of an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a maturity date of February 2012. We may borrow funds under the revolving credit agreement in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies and borrowings will bear interest as described under Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of January 1, 2010, we had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit line of $151.0 million and during fiscal 2009, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on our term loan. A hypothetical 10% increase in the three-month LIBOR rates could result in approximately $38,000 annual increase in interest expense on the existing principal balances.

* The hypothetical changes and assumptions made above will be different from what actually occurs in the future.  Furthermore, the computations do not anticipate actions that may be taken by our management should the hypothetical market changes actually occur over time. As a result, actual earnings effects in the future will differ from those quantified above.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Euro, and British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.

Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble or the Company) began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. The Company provides positioning product solutions, most typically to commercial and government users. The principal applications served include surveying, construction, agriculture, urban and resource management, military, transportation and telecommunications. The Company’s products typically provide its customers benefits that can include lower operational costs, higher productivity, and improved quality. Examples of products include systems that guide agricultural and construction equipment, surveying instruments, systems that track fleets of vehicles, and data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information. In addition, the Company also manufactures components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems, and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns reserve, allowances for inventory valuation, warranty costs, investments, goodwill impairments, stock-based compensation, and income taxes among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31.  Fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2007 were both 52-week years, and ended on January 1, 2010 and December 28, 2007, respectively.  Fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year and ended on January 2, 2009. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to the Company’s fiscal year.

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date that these financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  No material subsequent events have occurred since January 1, 2010 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

On January 17, 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved a 2-for-1 split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, payable February 22, 2007 to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007. All shares and per share information presented has been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in local currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income within the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Concentration of Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk in the Company’s trade receivables, which are derived from sales to end user customers in diversified industries as well as various resellers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally does not require collateral.

With the selection of Flextronics Corporation (formerly Solectron) in August 1999 as an exclusive manufacturing partner for many of its GPS products, the Company became dependent upon a sole supplier for the manufacture of many of its products.  In addition, the Company relies on sole suppliers for a number of its critical components.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.

The Company evaluates the ongoing collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount that the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include declines in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues. If actual factors are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. For acquisitions completed, beginning in fiscal 2009, identifiable intangible assets now include in-process research and development based on the revised accounting guidance on business combinations. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination are recorded at fair value. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of distribution channels and distribution rights, patents, licenses, technology, acquired backlog, trademarks and in-process research and development.  Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets, and have estimated useful lives ranging from one to fifteen years with a weighted average useful life of 6.4 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.  Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process.  First, impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit.   The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.


Depreciation and amortization of the Company’s intangible assets and other long-lived assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in the capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of an asset should be revised, the Company will depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life. These assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. The assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Contracts and/or customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analyses, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Revenue for orders is not recognized until the product is shipped and title has transferred to the buyer. The Company bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point. The Company’s shipment terms for U.S. orders and international orders fulfilled from the Company’s European distribution center typically provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. If no precise point is indicated by the buyer, the Company may choose within the place or range stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier’s charge. Other shipment terms may provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the buyer.  Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon shipment, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not typically have a right of return.

Revenue from purchased extended warranty and support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the warranty/support period.

The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.

In instances where the embedded software in the Company’s products is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware, the Company generally recognizes revenue once the product has shipped and title has transferred to the buyer, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The determination as to whether the embedded software is more than incidental to the Company’s products requires significant judgment including a consideration of factors such as marketing, research and development efforts and any post contract support (PCS) relating to the embedded software.

The Company’s software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and PCS. The Company has established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for the Company’s PCS contracts based on the renewal rate. The remaining value of the software arrangement is allocated to the license fee using the residual method.  License revenue is primarily recognized when the software has been delivered and fair value has been established for all remaining undelivered elements. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.


Subscription revenue related to our hosted arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Under our hosted arrangements, the customer typically does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty and it is not feasible for the customer to run the software either on its own hardware or on a third-party’s hardware. Subscription revenue related to the Company’s hosted arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Upfront fees related to the Company’s hosted solution primarily consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals, if any. For upfront fees relating to this proprietary hardware where the firmware is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware in accordance with the guidance on software revenue recognition, the Company defers the upfront fees at installation and recognizes them ratably over the minimum service contract period, generally one to five years. Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.

Warranty

The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing work on the Company’s behalf. The Company’s expected future cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost to repair or replace the equipment.  The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to three years, and in some instances up to 5.5 years.

While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the fiscal years ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, are as follows:

Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s agents.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009.

Advertising Costs


The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $20.4 million, $22.6 million, and $21.2 million, in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not significant and were expensed as incurred. The Company received third party funding of approximately $12.5 million, $9.2 million, and $8.5 million in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The Company offsets research and development expense with any third party funding received. The Company retains the rights to any technology developed under such arrangements.

Options

Stock option expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income is based on the fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. For fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 stock option expense includes expense for stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005, as well as for stock options granted beginning in fiscal 2006.  In fiscal 2006, in conjunction with the adoption of the FASB’s revised accounting guidance on stock compensation, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock options to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all stock options granted on or prior to December 30, 2005 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all stock options granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 is recognized using the straight-line single-option method.

For options granted prior to October 1, 2005, the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options granted on or after October 1, 2005, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term.

Under the binomial model, the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $7.92, $8.80 and $12.37, respectively. For options granted for the three years ending January 1, 2010, the following weighted-average assumptions were used:

Expected Dividend Yield – The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock and historical volatility. The Company used implied and historical volatility as the combination was more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility alone.

Expected Risk Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

Expected Life Of Option – The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar stock options with consideration to the contractual terms of the stock options, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are converted into shares of Trimble common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis.  Vesting of restricted stock units is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company.  The compensation expense related to these awards was determined using the fair value of Trimble’s common stock on the date of grant, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase shares are generally granted during the second and fourth quarter of each year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated weighted average value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $5.28, $8.30 and $7.54, respectively. The fair value of rights granted during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected Dividend Yield – The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock. The Company used implied volatility because it is representative of future stock price trends during the purchase period.

Expected Risk Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the purchase period.

Expected Life Of Purchase – The Company’s expected life of the purchase is based on the term of the offering period of the purchase plan.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment owned is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease terms. Useful lives include a range from two to six years for machinery and equipment, five years for furniture and fixtures, two to five years for computer equipment and software, and the life of the lease for leasehold improvements. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage. Capitalized costs related to internal-use software are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred, while expenditures for refurbishments and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation expense was $ 18.8 million in fiscal 2009, $19.0 million in fiscal 2008 and $17.2 million in fiscal 2007.


Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Euro, and British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized.

Relative to uncertain tax positions, the Company only recognizes the tax benefit if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 
Our valuation allowance is primarily attributable to net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards.  Management believes that is more likely than not that we will not realize these deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for such amounts.  Beginning in 2009, we adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations, under which such valuation allowance adjustments associated with an acquisition closing after January 3, 2009 (and after the measurement period) are recorded through income tax expense.  Prior to January 3, 2009, these adjustments were required to be recognized by adjusting the purchase price related to the acquisition.
 
Computation of Earnings Per Share

The number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share represents the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of options, non-vested restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, warrants, and convertible securities. The dilutive effects of options, non-vested restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, warrants, and convertible securities are included in diluted earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance on fair value measurements. This standard, which is now codified under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP, and expands the disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The Company adopted the fair value measurement guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2008, except for those items specifically deferred by the FASB, which were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance on business combinations. This revised standard, now codified under the Business Combination Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase.  The guidance also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted this guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2009.  In April 2009, the FASB amended this new accounting standard to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if the fair value can be determined during the measurement period. The Company expects the implementation of the new guidance to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend largely upon the nature and size of the Company’s business combinations. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact during 2009.


In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which were re-characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changed the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders.  The guidance required retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for previously existing minority interests. All other requirements of the guidance are applied prospectively.   The Company adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting guidance, now codified under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  The Company adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.   The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on subsequent events and then updated this guidance in February 2010. The standard, now codified under the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, became effective for and was adopted by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  The guidance establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  Specifically, it sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than the disclosures required by the guidance.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This guidance also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, GAAP required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred.   The Company is required to adopt this guidance beginning in fiscal 2010.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification supersedes all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC.  The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements which requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement, using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy, and eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation.  It also requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method.  The FASB also issued accounting guidance on the applicability of software revenue accounting for certain arrangements that include software elements, which remove tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance.  The guidance on both of these topics, which are now codified under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of the new revenue guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and when it will adopt the revised guidance.

For fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007 the Company excluded 5.0 million shares, 2.2 million shares and 0.5 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than or equal to the average market value of the common shares during the  respective periods.  Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive.  These options could be included in the calculation in the future if the average market value of the common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options.

NOTE 4: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

@Road, Inc.

On December 10, 2006, the Company and @Road, Inc. (@Road) entered into a definitive merger agreement.  The acquisition became effective on February 16, 2007.  @Road is a global provider of solutions designed to automate the management of mobile resources and to optimize the service delivery process for customers across a variety of industries. The acquisition of @Road has expanded the Company’s investment and reinforces the existing growth strategy for its Mobile Solutions segment.  @Road’s results of operations since February 17, 2007 have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income within the Mobile Solutions business segment.

Purchase Price

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of @Road common stock for $7.50 per share.  The Company elected to issue $2.50 per share of the consideration in the form of the Company’s common stock (Common Stock) to be based upon the five-day average closing price of the Company’s shares six trading days prior to the closing of the transaction and the remaining $5.00 per share consideration was paid in cash. Further, each share of Series A-1 and Series A-2 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of @Road was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $100.00 plus all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and each share of Series B-1 and B-2 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of @Road was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $831.39 plus all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. In addition, all @Road vested stock options were terminated and the holders of each such options were entitled to receive the excess, if any, of the aggregate consideration over the exercise price. At the effective time of the merger, all unvested @Road stock options with an exercise price in excess of $7.50 were terminated and all unvested stock options that had exercise prices of $7.50 or less were assumed by the Company.


Concurrent with the merger, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility) and incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility.  See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Company paid approximately $327.4 million in cash from debt and existing cash, and issued approximately 5.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.0893 shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding share of @Road common stock as of February 16, 2007. The common stock issued had a fair value of $161.9 million and was valued using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock of $27.69 over a range of two trading days (February 14, 2007 through February 15, 2007) prior to, and including, the close date (February 16, 2007) of the transaction, which is also the date that the amount of the Company’s shares to be issued in accordance with the merger agreement was settled. The total purchase price was estimated as follows (in thousands):

Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations, the total purchase price was allocated to @Road net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development based upon their estimated fair values as of February 16, 2007. The excess purchase price over the net tangible, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development was recorded as goodwill.

The Company reviewed and adjusted @Road's net tangible assets and liabilities to fair value, as necessary, as of February 16, 2007, including the following adjustments:

Fixed assets – the Company decreased @Road's historical value of fixed assets by $2.1 million to adjust fixed assets to an amount equivalent to fair value.

Deferred revenue and cost of sales – the Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred revenue by $39.6 million to adjust deferred revenue to the fair value of the direct cost associated with servicing the underlying obligation plus a reasonable margin. @Road’s deferred revenue balance consists of upfront payments of its hosted product, licensed product, extended warranty and maintenance. The Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred product cost by $47.1 million to adjust deferred product cost to the asset's underlying fair value. The deferred product costs adjustment to fair value related to deferral of cost of sales of hardware that have shipped, resulting in no fair value relating to the associated deferred product costs.

Other receivables and non-current assets – Other receivables and non-current assets were increased by $15.4 million to adjust for the fair value of future cash collections from customer contracts assumed for products delivered prior to the acquisition date.   As the products were delivered prior to the acquisition date, revenue is not recognizable in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Intangible Assets

Developed product technology, which is comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility, includes products in @Road's current product offerings. @Road's technology includes hardware, software and services that serve the mobile resource management market internationally. The Company expects to amortize the developed and core technology over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.

Customer relationships represent the value placed on @Road’s distribution channels and end users. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.

Trademarks and trade names represent the value placed on the @Road brand and recognition in the mobile resource management market. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of eight years.

In-process Research and Development

The Company recorded an expense of $2.1 million relating to in-process research and development projects in @Road’s license business.  In-process research and development represents incomplete @Road research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use as of the consummation of the merger.


Goodwill

The excess purchase price over the net tangible, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill was attributed to the premium paid for the opportunity to expand and better serve the global mobile resource management market and achieve greater long-term growth opportunities than either company had operating alone. The Company believes these opportunities could include accelerating the rate at which products are brought to market and increasing the diversity and global reach of those products. In addition, the Company expects that the combined companies may be able to obtain greater operating leverage by reducing costs in areas of redundancy.   Of the total $265.2 million assigned to goodwill, approximately $6.7 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Restructuring

Liabilities related to restructuring @Road's operations that meet the requirements of recognition of liabilities in connection with a purchase business combination were recorded as adjustments to the purchase price and an increase in goodwill. Liabilities related to restructuring the Company's operations were recorded as expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that the costs were incurred.

Deferred Income Tax Assets/Liabilities

The Company recognized $56.9 million in net deferred tax liabilities for the tax effects of differences between assigned values in the purchase price and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

@Road Stock Options Assumed

In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company assumed all @Road unvested stock options that had exercise prices of $7.50 or less.  The Company issued approximately 795,000 stock options based on an exchange ratio of 0.268 shares of the Company’s common stock for each unvested stock option with exercise prices of $7.50 or less as of February 16, 2007.  The fair value of these assumed options was determined to be $10.1 million which will be expensed over the remaining vesting terms of the assumed options which is approximately three to four years.  The assumed options were valued using the binomial model similar to previously granted Trimble stock options.

Pro-Forma Results

The following table presents pro-forma results of operations of the Company and @Road, as if the companies had been combined as of December 30, 2006.  The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on December 30, 2006 or of future results.  Included in the pro-forma results are fair value adjustments based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of February 16, 2007 and adjustments for interest expense related to debt and stock options assumed as part of the merger consideration.

The Company excluded the effect of non-recurring items for both periods presented as the impact is short-term in nature. The pro-forma information is as follows:

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of each of these businesses from the date of acquisition. Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of each of these acquisitions were not material to the Company’s results.

The total purchase consideration for each of the above acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions were capitalized during fiscal 2007 and 2008.  In fiscal 2009 these costs were expensed as incurred in accordance with the revised accounting guidance on business combinations.


During fiscal 2009 the Company adopted the revised accounting guidance on business combinations, which requires in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired to be capitalized as an intangible asset until the project is complete, at which point the asset is amortized over its estimated useful life.  There was no IPR&D capitalized in 2009.  Prior to 2009, IPR&D was expensed.  In fiscal 2008, there was no IPR&D expense and in fiscal 2007, Company recorded IPR&D expense of $2.1 million related to the @Road acquisition.

The following table summarizes the Company’s business combinations completed during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 other than @Road (in thousands):

* Acquisition costs consist of legal, advisory, and accounting fees as well as $0.4 million of restructuring related liabilities in fiscal 2008. Such costs were expensed during fiscal 2009 in accordance with the revised accounting guidance on business combinations.

All of the above business combinations were acquired with cash consideration. None of the amounts assigned to goodwill above are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Certain acquisitions include additional earn-out cash payments based on future revenue derived from existing products and other product milestones. In accordance with the revised accounting guidance on business combinations, any earn-outs associated with business combinations completed during fiscal 2009 are included in the initial purchase price at fair value and must be remeasured  to fair value at each balance sheet date with subsequent changes recorded to earnings. Prior to 2009, these earn-out payments were considered additional purchase price consideration when, and if, any contingencies, such as the achievement of certain earnings targets, were resolved. Earn-outs paid for pre-2009 acquisitions and changes in purchase price allocation estimates were recorded as purchase price adjustments and goodwill adjustments. Earn-out cash payments made for these pre-2009 acquisitions were $8.5 million, $7.2 million and $11.8 million in fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. Pre-2009 acquisitions made by the Company have additional potential earn-out cash payments in excess of that recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet not to exceed approximately $24.7 million.

NOTE 5: JOINT VENTURES

Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies Joint Venture

On April 1, 2002, Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies LLC (CTCT), a joint venture formed by the Company and Caterpillar, began operations. CTCT develops advanced electronic guidance and control products for earth moving machines in the construction and mining industries. The joint venture is 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by Caterpillar, with equal voting rights. The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of profits and losses are included in Income from joint ventures in the Non-operating income, net section of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recorded income of $3.0 million, $8.0 million, and $7.8 million as its proportionate share of CTCT net income in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  During fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, dividends received from CTCT amounted to $2.9 million, $10.5 million, and $2.3 million, and were recorded against Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The carrying amount of the investment in CTCT was $7.1 million at January 1, 2010 and $7.0 million at January 2, 2009, and is included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company acts as a contract manufacturer for CTCT. Products are manufactured based on orders received from CTCT and are sold at direct cost plus a mark-up for the Company’s overhead costs to CTCT. CTCT then resells products at cost plus a mark-up in consideration for CTCT’s research and development efforts to both Caterpillar and to the Company for sales through their respective distribution channels. Generally, the Company sells products through its after-market dealer channel, and Caterpillar sells products for factory and dealer installation. CTCT does not have inventory on its balance sheet in that the resale of products to Caterpillar and the Company occur simultaneously when the products are purchased from the Company. In fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company recorded $2.2 million, $11.7 million, and $11.5 million of revenue, respectively, and $2.1 million, $10.5 million, and $10.3 million of cost of sales, respectively, for the manufacturing of products sold by the Company to CTCT and then sold through the Caterpillar distribution channel.  In addition, in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company recorded $19.1 million, $21.4 million, and $25.1 million in net cost of sales for the manufacturing of products sold by the Company to CTCT and then repurchased by the Company upon sale through the Company’s distribution channel.

In addition, the Company received reimbursement of employee-related costs from CTCT for company employees dedicated to CTCT or performance of work for CTCT totaling $10.4 million, $13.6 million and $13.7 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The reimbursements were offset against operating expense.

At January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, the Company had amounts due to and from CTCT.  Receivables and payables to CTCT are settled individually with terms comparable to other non-related parties.  The amounts due to and from CTCT are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, the receivables from CTCT were $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and are included within Accounts receivable, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of the same dates, the payables due to CTCT were $4.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and are included within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 7: REPORTING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Trimble is a designer and distributor of positioning products and applications enabled by GPS, optical, laser, and wireless communications technology. The Company provides products for diverse applications in its targeted markets.

To achieve distribution, marketing, production, and technology advantages, the Company manages its operations in the following four segments:


 
·
Engineering and Construction — Consists of products currently used by survey and construction professionals in the field for positioning, data collection, field computing, data management, and machine guidance and control. The applications served include surveying, road, runway, construction, site preparation, and building construction.

 
·
Field Solutions — Consists of products that provide solutions in a variety of agriculture and geographic information systems (GIS) applications. In agriculture, these include precise land leveling and machine guidance systems. In GIS, they include handheld devices and software that enable the collection of data on assets for a variety of governmental and private entities.

 
·
Mobile Solutions — Consists of products that enable end users to monitor and manage their mobile assets by communicating location and activity-relevant information from the field to the office. Trimble offers a range of products that address a number of sectors of this market including truck fleets, security, and public safety vehicles.

 
·
Advanced Devices — The various operations that comprise this segment were aggregated on the basis that no single operation accounted for more than 10% of Trimble’s total revenue, operating income and assets. This segment is comprised of the Component Technologies, Military and Advanced Systems, Applanix, and Trimble Outdoors businesses.


Trimble evaluates each of its segment's performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income from operations before income taxes, and some corporate allocations. Trimble and each of its segments employ consistent accounting policies.

The following table presents revenue, operating income, and identifiable assets for the four segments. Operating income is net revenue less operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of intangibles, amortization of inventory step-up charges, in-process research and development expense, restructuring charges, non-operating income (expense), and income taxes. The identifiable assets that Trimble's Chief Operating Decision Maker, its Chief Executive Officer, views by segment are accounts receivable, inventories, and goodwill.

NOTE 8: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expense for the three years ended January 1, 2010 was as follows:

   
January 1,
   
January 2,
   
December 28,
 
   
2010

(in thousands)
                 
                   
Severance and benefits
  $ 10,754     $ 4,641     $ 3,025  

During fiscal 2009, restructuring expense of $10.8 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 340 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $6.4 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $4.4 million is included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Expense related to the decisions made through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 is all accrued as of January 1, 2010.

During fiscal 2008, restructuring expense of $4.6 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 100 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $2.7 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and $1.9 million is included within Cost of sales.

During fiscal, 2007, restructuring expense of $3.0 million was for charges associated with the Company’s acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expense was related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cash and $1.6 million was recorded in Shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with business combinations

In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2008, costs associated with exiting activities of companies the Company acquired in fiscal 2008 were $0.4 million, consisting of severance and benefits costs. These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combinations and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquisitions and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2008.


There were $1.1 million of adjustments that decreased the restructuring liability during fiscal 2008 and $0.2 million of adjustments that increased the restructuring liability during fiscal 2009. The 2008 adjustments related to differences between original estimates and actual payouts for severance and benefits, $0.9 million of which related to the @Road acquisition.

  $ 151,038     $ 151,464  

On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent.  On February 16, 2007, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012.    Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used for paying to pay off other debts or loans.  The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00.  The funds available under the new 2007 Credit Facility may be used by the Company for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes. As of August 20, 2008, the Company amended its 2007 Credit Facility to allow it to redeem, retire or purchase common stock of the Company without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, and leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00. In addition, the definition of the fixed charge was amended to exclude the impact of redemptions, retirements, or purchases common stock of the Company from the fixed charges coverage ratio.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was repaid in full during fiscal 2008.  As of January 2, 2009, the Company had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit line of $151.0 million which was drawn down in fiscal 2008.

The Company may borrow funds under the 2007 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either: (i) a base rate, based on the administrative agent's prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of its most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (STIBOR), or  other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.625% and 1.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.


The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations, and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default. As of January 1, 2010 the Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Notes Payable

As of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, the Company had notes payable totaling approximately $483,000 and $588,000, respectively, consisting primarily of government loans to foreign subsidiaries.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company's principal facilities in the United States are leased under various cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2015. For tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays, Trimble records a deferred rent liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortizes the deferred rent over the terms of the leases as reductions to rent expense on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has options to renew certain of these leases for an additional five years.

Future minimum payments required under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

       
2010
  $ 19,063  
2011
    11,952  
2012
    8,827  
2013
    3,621  
2014
    2,239  
Thereafter
    1,248  
Total
  $ 46,950  

Net rent expense under operating leases was $18.0 million in fiscal 2009, $16.2 million in fiscal 2008, and $14.2 million in fiscal 2007. Sublease income was $38,000, $49,000 and $39,000 for fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Additionally, as of January 1, 2010, the Company had acquisition earn-outs of $2.2 million and holdbacks of $19.7 million recorded in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities.” The maximum remaining payments, including the $2.2 million and $19.7 million recorded, will not exceed $46.6 million. The remaining payments are based upon targets achieved or events occurring over time that would result in amounts paid that may be lower than the maximum remaining payments.  The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2012.

At January 1, 2010, the company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $61.1 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with our vendors.  Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.


NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by the guidance on fair value measurements are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:

Level I – Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level III – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

(1)
The Company may invest in highly liquid investments such as money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. The fair values are determined using observable quoted prices in active markets. Money market funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)
The Company maintains a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees. The investment assets and liabilities included in Level II are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3)
Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level II primarily represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. The fair values are determined using inputs based on observable quoted prices. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


(4)
A contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay the former owner of one of the companies it acquired during fiscal 2009 up to an undiscounted maximum amount of $4.5 million, based on future revenues over a 3 year period.  The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $4.5 million.  The Company estimated the fair value of this liability using probability-weighted revenue projections and discount rates ranging from 0.47% to 1.70%. Of the total contingent consideration liability, $0.3 million and $1.9 million were included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level III contingent consideration liability for the twelve months ended January 1, 2010.

The fair value of the bank borrowings and promissory notes has been calculated using an estimate of the interest rate the Company would have had to pay on the issuance of notes with a similar maturity and discounting the cash flows at that rate. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount that Trimble would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.

Utilization of the Company’s federal and state NOLs are subject to annual limitation in accordance with section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Company has federal research and development credit carryforwards of $2.0 million (expiring in years 2011 through 2024) and California research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $11.7 million that can be carried over indefinitely.

The Company’s valuation allowance is primarily attributable to foreign net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards.  The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these deferred tax assets and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for such amounts.

The Company’s policy with respect to its undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings is to consider some of those earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided.  Upon distribution of permanently reinvested earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes (adjusted for foreign tax credits).  As of January 1, 2010, the Company’s foreign subsidiary accumulated undistributed earnings that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. is approximately $85.4 million.  The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on this amount is approximately $27.5 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes.  The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for years through 1992.  Non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state, and foreign (including France and Germany) taxing authorities.  Although the timing of resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
 
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company’s liability includes interest and penalties at January 1, 2010, January 2, 2009, and December 28, 2007 of $5.0 million, $4.4 million, and $3.1million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 14: EMPLOYEE STOCK BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”) under which an aggregate of 15,550,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for sale to eligible employees as approved by the shareholders to date. The plan permits full-time employees to purchase Common Stock through payroll deductions at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning or at the end of each offering period, which is generally six months. The amended Purchase Plan terminates on September 30, 2018. In fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, the shares issued under the Purchase Plan were 763,597, 437,833, and 430,068 shares, respectively. Compensation expense recognized during fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007 related to shares granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was $3.4 million, $3.4 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. At January 1, 2010, the number of shares reserved for future purchases by eligible employees was 3,808,620.

Restricted Stock Award

Trimble did not grant any restricted stock awards in fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008, or fiscal 2007.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company granted 40,000 shares of restricted common stock. The award vests 20% on June 30, 2005 and an additional 20% each June 30 thereafter. The Company recorded compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $92,000, $155,000, and $191,000 for fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

2002 Stock Plan

In 2002, Trimble’s board of directors adopted the 2002 Stock Plan (“2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan approved by the shareholders provides for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options and stock awards for up to 20,000,000 shares plus any shares currently reserved but unissued to employees, consultants, and directors of Trimble. Incentive stock options may be granted at exercise prices that are not less than 100% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options granted under the 2002 Plan generally have 84-120 month terms, and vest at a rate of 20% at the first anniversary of grant and monthly thereafter at an annual rate of 20%, with full vesting occurring at the fifth anniversary of the grant. In certain instances, grants vest at a rate of 40% at the second anniversary of grant and monthly thereafter at an annual rate of 20% with full vesting occurring at the fifth anniversary of the grant. The Company issues new shares for option exercises. The majority of the restricted share units granted under this plan vest 100% after three years.  As of January 1, 2010, options to purchase 10,786,746 shares were outstanding, 890,414 restricted stock units were unvested, and 7,683,688 were available for future grant under the 2002 Plan.

@Road Plan

In connection with the acquisition of @Road in February 2007, the Company assumed all of the outstanding stock options of @Road’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (“@Road Plan”) as well as the plan itself.  The @Road Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options.  Incentive stock options may be granted at exercise prices that are not less than 100% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant.  Employee stock options granted under the @Road Plan generally have 120-month terms, and vest at a rate of 20% at the first anniversary of grant and monthly thereafter at an annual rate of 20%, with full vesting occurring at the fifth anniversary of the grant.  The Company issues new shares for option exercises.  As of January 1, 2010, options to purchase 501,864 shares were outstanding under the @Road Plan.  Shares under this plan are no longer available for grant due to the merger of @Road into Trimble.

1993 Stock Option Plan

In 1992, Trimble's board of directors adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (“1993 Plan”). The 1993 Plan, as amended to date and approved by shareholders, provided for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options for up to 19,125,000 shares of Common Stock to employees, consultants, and directors of Trimble. Incentive stock options may be granted at exercise prices that are not less than 100% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options granted under the 1993 Plan have 120-month terms, and vest at a rate of 20% at the first anniversary of grant, and monthly thereafter at an annual rate of 20%, with full vesting occurring at the fifth anniversary of grant. The Company issues new shares for option exercises. As of January 1, 2010, options to purchase 835,161 shares were outstanding and no shares were available for future grant.


1992 Employee Stock Bonus Plan

In 1992, Trimble's board of directors approved the 1992 Employee Stock Bonus Plan ("Bonus Plan"). As of January 1, 2010, there were no options outstanding to purchase shares and 4,598 were available for future grant under the 1992 Employee Stock Bonus Plan.

1990 Director Stock Option Plan

In December 1990, Trimble adopted a Director Stock Option Plan under which an aggregate of 1,140,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance to non-employee directors as approved by the shareholders to date. At January 1, 2010, options to purchase 60,000 shares were outstanding, and no shares were available for future grants under the Director Stock Option Plan.

Options Outstanding and Exercisable

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of January 1, 2010, ranged from $3.35 to $40.59. In view of the wide range of exercise prices, Trimble considers it appropriate to provide the following additional information with respect to options outstanding at January 1, 2010:

NOTE 15: BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan

Under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, U.S. employee participants (including employees of certain subsidiaries) may direct the investment of contributions to their accounts among certain mutual funds and the Trimble Navigation Limited Common Stock Fund. The Trimble Fund sold 85,452 net shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of $1.9 million in fiscal 2009. The Company, at its discretion, matches individual employee 401(k) Plan contributions at a rate of fifty cents of every dollar that the employee contributes to the 401(k) Plan up to 5% of the employee’s annual salary to an annual maximum of $2,500. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $3.2 million in fiscal 2009, $3.3 million in fiscal 2008 and $3.1 million in fiscal 2007.

Defined Contribution Pension Plans

Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries participate in state sponsored pension plans.  Contributions are based on specified percentages of employee salaries.  For these plans, the Company contributed and charged to expense approximately $0.9 million for fiscal 2009, $0.9 million for fiscal 2008, and $0.8 million for fiscal 2007.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in Sweden and Germany. The largest of these plans is provided by the Swedish subsidiary which has an unfunded defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all of its full-time employees through 1993. Benefits are based on a percentage of eligible earnings. The employee must have had a projected period of pensionable service of at least 30 years as of 1993. If the period was shorter, the pension benefits were reduced accordingly. Active employees do not accrue any future benefits; therefore, there is no service cost and the liability will only increase for interest cost.


The Company recognizes the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension plan in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and that the changes in the funded status in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

The pension related balances on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 are presented in the following table.

* The Company changed its defined benefit pension plan in the Netherlands to a defined contribution plan in fiscal 2008.

The under-funded status of the plan of $6.3 million at January 1, 2010 is recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a short-term and a long-term accrued pension liability.  No plan assets are expected to be returned to Trimble during fiscal 2010.

Net periodic benefit cost in fiscal 2009 was not material.

Actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension costs for fiscal 2009 were as follows:

 
Swedish Subsidiary
German Subsidiaries
Discount rate
3.5%
5.8%
Rate of compensation increase
1.5%
2.0%
Measurement date

The Company’s accumulated benefits obligation was approximately $7.7 million and $6.9 million for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

The Company’s plan assets are primarily located in the Company's German subsidiaries. For German subsidiaries, for fiscal 2009, the asset allocation of the total plan assets was approximately as follows:  93% local government bonds, 3% real estate and 4% equity securities. Long-term asset allocation and expected return on assets assumptions are derived from detailed annual studies conducted by the Company's asset management group and actuaries. The Company’s asset management group limits allocation to equity securities and real estate to a maximum of 10% and 25%, respectively, with the remaining assets to be allocated to local government bonds. While the asset allocation give appropriate consideration to recent performance and historical returns, the strategy is focused primarily on conservative and sustainable long-term returns. Based on historical returns, the Company expects future return on assets to be approximately 4%.

Trimble has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. Fiscal 2009 was a 52-week year and fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year. As a result of the extra week, year-over-year results may not be comparable. Thus, due to the inherent nature of adopting a 52-53 week fiscal year, the Company, analysts, shareholders, investors, and others will have to make appropriate adjustments to any analysis performed when comparing our activities and results.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trimble Navigation Limited as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15 (a) Schedule II. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,   evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trimble Navigation Limited at January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2010, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for noncontrolling interests and accounting for business combinations during 2009, and its method of accounting for uncertain tax positions as of December 30, 2006.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Trimble Navigation Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited

We have audited Trimble Navigation Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Trimble Navigation Limited’s management is responsible 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that 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, Trimble Navigation Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Trimble Navigation Limited as of January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2010 and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 9.      Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None

Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 1, 2010.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2010 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included elsewhere herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended January 1, 2010, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as amended March 6, 2009)

The following constitute the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of Trimble Navigation Limited.

1.             Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions.  It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, although the Company makes no undertaking nor representation to maintain such qualification.  In addition, this Plan document authorizes the grant of options under a non-423(b) component to the Plan which do not qualify under Section 423(b) of the Code pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) designed to achieve tax, securities law compliance or other Company objectives.

2.             Definitions.

(a)         “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b)         “Brokerage Account” means the general securities brokerage account, or such other account or record determined appropriate by the Company, established and maintained for the Plan with any entity selected by the Company, in its discretion, to assist in the administration of, and purchase of shares under the Plan.

(c)         “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(d)         “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company.

(e)         “Code Section 423(b) Plan Component” means the component of this Plan which is designed to meet the requirements set forth in Section 423(b) of the Code.  The provisions of the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with Section 423(b) of the Code.

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

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

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

 
-1-

 

(i)          “Designated Subsidiaries” shall mean the Subsidi­aries which have been designated by the Board from time to time in its sole discretion as eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) will determine whether employees of any Designated Subsidiary shall participate in the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component or the Non-423(b) Plan Component.

(j)           “Employee” shall mean any person, including an officer, who is an employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary.  The Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) shall have the discretion to limit offerings under the Plan to employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary whose customary employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary is at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year, provided that these eligibility requirements are applied uniformly to employees offered participation in the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component of the Plan.

(k)          “Enrollment Date” shall mean the first day of each Offering Period.

(l)           “Exercise Date” shall mean the last day of each Offering Period.

(m)         “Maximum Offering” shall mean, with respect to some or all participants in the Non-423(b) Plan Component, a maximum number or value of shares of the Common Stock made available for purchase in a specified period (e.g., a 12-month period) in specified countries, locations or to Employees of specified Designated Subsidiaries. Such maximum shall be determined by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) in such a manner as to avoid securities filings, to achieve certain tax results or to meet other Company objectives.

(n)         “Non-423(b) Plan Component” means a component of this Plan which does not meet the requirements set forth in Section 423(b) of the Code, as amended.

(o)         “Offering Period” shall mean a period of six (6) months during which an option granted pursuant to the Plan may be exercised, or different period as determined by the Board, provided no Offering Period exceeds twenty-seven (27) months.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Offering Period shall commence August 15, 1988 and end December 31, 1988 and the Offering Period commencing July 1, 2006 shall end February 28, 2007.

(p)         “Option Price” shall mean the lower of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Enrollment Date or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date unless the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) sets an option price higher than this amount.

(q)         “Plan” shall mean this Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as set forth in this document and as hereafter amended from time to time, which includes a Code Section 423(b) Plan Component and a Non-423(b) Plan Component.

(r)          “Subsidiary” shall mean a corporation, domestic or foreign, of which not less than 50% of the voting shares are held by the Company or a Subsidiary, whether or not such corporation now exists or is hereafter organized or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary.

3.             Eligibility.

(a)        Any Employee as defined in paragraph 2 who is employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary at the time that the subscription agreement is required to be submitted for a given Offering Period is eligible to participate in the Plan for that Offering Period (subject to paragraph 10 below).  However, the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) shall have the discretion to set a minimum waiting period for Employees to become eligible to participate in an Offering Period provided that period is not more than two (2) years after employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary begins.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the first Offering Period only, any Employee defined in paragraph 2 who was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries as of August 9, 1988 shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

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

4.             Offering Periods.  The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on or about January 1 and July 1 of each year; provided, however, that the first Offering Period shall commence on or about August 15, 1988.  Effective in 2007 and thereafter new Offering Periods shall commence on or about March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Plan shall continue thereafter until termi­nated in accordance with paragraph 19 hereof.  Subject to the shareholder approval requirements of paragraph 19, the Board shall have the power to change the commencement or dura­tion of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings without shareholder approval if such change is announced at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected.  The Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) may decide that for administrative reasons, the payroll deductions related to the last pay date during the Offering Period will not be applied to the purchase of shares for that particular Offering Period, but instead will be rolled over to the following Offering Period (provided that the participant is participating in the following Offering Period).

5.             Participation.

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

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

6.             Payroll Deductions.

(a)        At the time a participant files his or her subscrip­tion agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation which he receives on each payday during the Offering Period, and the aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the participant's aggregate Compensation during said Offering Period.

 
-3-

 

(b)         All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan.  A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

(c)         A participant may discontinue his or her participa­tion in the Plan as provided in paragraph 10, or may decrease, but not increase, the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period (within the limitations of paragraph 6(a)) by com­pleting or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate.  The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement.  A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless revised as provided herein or terminated as provided in paragraph 10.

(d)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent neces­sary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and para­graph 3(b) herein, a participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year (the “Current Offering Period”) that the aggregate of all payroll deductions which were previously used to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Offering Period which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to the Current Offering Period equal $21,250.  Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in paragraph 10.

(e)         Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Plan, the Board may allow Employees to participate in the Plan via cash contributions instead of payroll deductions if payroll deductions are not permitted under applicable local law (and if the Employee is participating in the Non-423(b) Plan Component if not permitted under Section 423 of the Code).

7.             Grant of Option.

(a)         On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date of  such Offering Period up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the partic­ipant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the Option Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase more than 12,500 shares of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 18, if applicable), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in paragraphs 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in paragraph 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to paragraph 10, and shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.  Fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined as provided in paragraph 7(b) herein.

(b)      The fair market value of Common Stock on a given date shall be determined by the Board in its discretion; provided, however, that where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the closing price of the Common Stock for such date, as reported by the NASDAQ National Market System, or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a different stock exchange, the fair market value per share shall be the closing price on such exchange on such date, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or if no sales occurred on such date, then on the date immediately prior to such date on which sales prices are reported.

 
-4-

 

8.             Exercise of Option.  Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in paragraph 10 below, his or her option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of whole shares subject to the option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable option price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account.  The shares purchased hereunder will be credited to the Brokerage Account.  No fractional shares will be purchased and any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not used to purchase shares shall remain in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to an earlier with­drawal as provided in paragraph 10.  During a participant’s life­time, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

9.             Delivery.  A participant hereunder may elect at any time on a form acceptable to the Company to have all or part of the shares credited to the Brokerage Account on his or her behalf sold at participant’s expense and cash paid to participant.  A participant under the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component hereunder may elect, at any time after two (2) years following the Exercise Date of any Offering Period and on a form acceptable to the Company, to have all or part of the shares purchased with respect to such Offering Period and credited to the Brokerage Account on his or her behalf: (i) transferred to the participant’s individual brokerage account established at the participant’s expense; (ii) issued to the participant or his or her designee in the form of a stock certificate.

10.           Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

(a)        A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company (or third party designated by the Company) in the form required by the Company.  All of the participant's payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant's option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made during the Offering Period.  If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the begin­ning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

(b)        Upon termination of the participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee prior to the Exercise Date for any reason, including retirement or death, (i) the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under paragraph 14, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated, and (ii) the participant’s interest in the Brokerage Account shall be liquidated in the following manner.  As part of the procedure to liquidate the participant’s interest in the Brokerage Account, the participant may elect in writing, on a form acceptable to the Company and received by the designated person at the Company within thirty (30) days of the termination, to have the number of shares credited to the Brokerage Account on behalf of the participant sold at the participant’s expense and cash paid to the participant, or to have such shares transferred to the participant’s individual brokerage account established at the participant’s expense.  If the participant does not request a sale or transfer by the deadline set forth above or requests to receive a stock certificate, a certificate for the shares credited to the Brokerage Account on his or her behalf will be issued to the participant.

(c)        A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.

 
-5-

 

11.           Interest.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan, except as may be required by applicable law, as determined by the Company, for participants in the Non-423(b) Plan Component (or the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component if permitted under Code Section 423).

12.           Stock.

(a)        The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 15,550,000 million shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitali­zation of the Company as provided in paragraph 18.  If on a given Exercise Date the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan or the Maximum Offering, if any, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.  The pro rata allocation shall be limited, in the case of exceeding the Maximum Offering, to those participants in the countries, locations or Designated Subsidiaries in the specified Maximum Offering.

(b)        The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.

(c)         Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.

13.           Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board.  The administration, interpretation or application of the Plan by the Board or its committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all participants.  Members of the Board who are eligible Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan.

14.           Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)         If permitted by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board), a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such partici­pant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash.  In addition, a participant may file a written designa­tion of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death prior to exercise of the option, if permitted by the Board (or a committee authorized by the Board).

(b)         Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice.  In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such partic­ipant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor, administrator or personal representative of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

15.           Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in paragraph 14 hereof) by the participant.  Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with paragraph 10.

 
-6-

 

16.           Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

17.           Reports.  Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan.  Statements of account will be given to participating Employees semi-annually promptly following the Exercise Date, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the per share purchase price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

18.           Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the “Reserves”), as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclas­sification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.   In the event of a proposed sale of all or substan­tially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Com­pany with or into another corporation, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date.  The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger.  The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has with­drawn from the Offering Period as provided in paragraph 10 hereof.

19.           Amendment or Termination.  The Board may, at any time and for any reason, terminate or amend the Plan.  Except as provided in paragraph 18, no such termination can adversely affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law or regula­tion), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as so required.

20.           Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

21.           Shareholder Approval.  Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months before or after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and degree required under the applicable state and federal tax and securities laws.

22.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

23.           Tax Withholding.  The Company or any Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require an Employee to remit to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States (including income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account and any other taxes that may be due) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning an Employee arising as a result of his or her participation in the Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of taxes.  The Board (or a committee authorized by the Board) may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, allow a participant to elect to have the Company withhold shares otherwise issuable at exercise (or allow the return of shares) having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld.  No shares shall be delivered hereunder to any Employee until the Employee or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Company for the satisfaction of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Employee’s participation in the Plan.

24.           No Right to Employment or Services.  Nothing in the Plan or any subscription agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Employee’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.

25.           Code Section 409A.  The Code Section 423(b) Plan Component is exempt from the application of section 409A of the Code.  The Non-423(b) Plan Component is intended to be exempt from section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities in the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  In furtherance of this interest, any provision in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Board determines that an option to purchase Common Stock granted under the Plan may be subject to section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to  section 409A of the Code, the Board may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Board determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the participant's consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with section 409A of the Code, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Board would not violate section 409A of the Code.  Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have no liability to a participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board with respect thereto.  The Company makes no representation that the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with section 409A of the Code.

26.           Term of Plan.  The Plan shall continue in effect until September 30, 2018 unless sooner terminated under paragraph 19.

27.           Governing Law; Severability.  The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of California and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law.  If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

9.             Regardless of any action the Company and/or my actual employer if the Company is not my employer (collectively, the “Company”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items relating to my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  I further acknowledge that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the stock purchase right grant, including the grant, purchase of shares, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such purchase and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the stock purchase rights to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction during the Offering Period, I acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the purchase of shares, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, I authorize the Company, or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from Compensation paid in cash to me by the Company; or (b) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock that I acquire, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (c) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued to me.

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

Finally, I shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan or my purchase of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to honor the purchase and refuse to issue and/or deliver the shares of Common Stock if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

10.           The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock; and I am advised to consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan before taking any action related to the Stock Purchase Plan.

11.           In accepting the grant, I acknowledge that: (a) the Stock Purchase Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of stock purchase rights is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants, or benefits in lieu of grants, even if stock purchase rights have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of stock purchase rights, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or my actual employer if the Company is not my employer to terminate my employment relationship at any time with or without cause; (e) I am voluntarily participating in the Stock Purchase Plan; (f) the stock purchase rights and the underlying shares of Common Stock are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, and which is outside the scope of my employment contract, if any; (g) the stock purchase rights and the underlying shares of Common Stock are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (h) the stock purchase rights are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, unfair dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary; (i) the grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary; (j) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (k) the value of shares purchased may increase or decrease in value, even below the purchase price; (l) in consideration of the grant, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the stock purchase rights or diminution in value of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan resulting from termination of my employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and I irrevocably release the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived my entitlement to pursue such claim; (m) in the event of termination of my employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), my right to receive the stock purchase rights and purchase shares under the Stock Purchase Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Board shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of my grant; and (n) the purchase rights and benefits under the Stock Purchase Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, takeover or transfer of liability.

12.           The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock.  I am hereby advised to consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan before taking any action related to the Stock Purchase Plan.

17.           The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, on the grant of purchase rights and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or facilitate administration of the Stock Purchase Plan, and to require me to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

PAYROLL WITHHOLDING AUTHORIZATION FORM
FOR EMPLOYEES IN MEXICO

1.             The undersigned hereby elects to participate in the Trimble Navigation Limited Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) in order to purchase shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan and the Subscription Agreement, including the Appendix.  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Plan or the Subscription Agreement, including the Appendix.

2.             I hereby acknowledge that I have received a full copy of the Stock Purchase Plan and that I understand the terms, methods and consequences of participating in the Stock Purchase Plan.

3.             In order to make the purchases of shares of Common Stock more efficient, I hereby request and authorize my employer, Geo de SECO S. de R.L. de C.V. (the “Employer”), to withhold from my paycheck each pay period the amount specified in the Subscription Agreement.  This withholding will continue until I inform the Employer in writing to stop such payroll withholding.

4.             I hereby further request that the withholding to which the preceding paragraph refers shall be delivered by the Employer to the Company or the administrator of the Stock Purchase Plan (the “Administrator”).  These amounts shall be used by the Company or the Administrator to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan and the Subscription Agreement, including the Appendix.

5.             I acknowledge and agree that the participation of the Employer in the Stock Purchase Plan is limited to acting as an intermediary in delivering to the Company the amounts withheld from my paycheck each pay period.  The Employer will make no additional salary payment or pay other compensation to me as a result of the Stock Purchase Plan.

6.             I hereby acknowledge that the withholding I have requested is not a loss of salary and that I have received in full for each pay period my entire salary during my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan.

7.             I acknowledge that my work relationship is exclusively with the Employer and that there is no work relationship between the Company and me.

Therefore, the Stock Purchase Plan shall not be considered a labor benefit in my favor, and my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan creates no labor obligations or rights between the Company and me.

The purchase rights are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments under my employment relationship with the Employer.  The value of the purchase rights and any shares purchased or to be purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan, if any, are extraordinary items, which are outside the scope of the employment contract with the Employer, if any.

8.             By participating in the Stock Purchase Plan, I accept all of its terms and conditions and, in particular, I acknowledge that:

(a)           the Stock Purchase Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(b)           the grant of purchase rights under the Stock Purchase Plan does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of purchase rights, or benefits in lieu of purchase rights;

(c)           all decisions with respect to future grants of stock purchase rights, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)           my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary;

(e)           the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, if any, ceases upon termination of employment with the Employer for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Stock Purchase Plan or the Subscription Agreement;

Nature of Grant.  The following provision supplements Paragraph 10 of the Subscription Agreement:

In accepting the grant of purchase rights, I acknowledge that the purchase rights granted under the Stock Purchase Plan are intended as an incentive for me to remain employed with the Employer and are not intended as remuneration for labor performed.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  I am advised of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.  In particular, I may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if I have inside information regarding the Company.

By accepting the purchase rights and participating in the Stock Purchase Plan, I acknowledge having read and understood this Securities Law Information and further acknowledge that it is my responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules.

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

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company, the Employer or a Subsidiary working in the Netherlands (possibly including me) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

If I do not enter into a Joint Election prior to the Exercise Date, I will not be entitled to purchase the shares unless and until I enter into a Joint Election, and no shares will be issued to me under the Stock Purchase Plan, without any liability to the Company or the Employer.

Tax Obligations.  The following provision supplements Paragraph 8 of the Subscription Agreement:

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if I am an executive officer or director within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply.  In the event that I am an executive officer or director and Tax-Related Items are not collected within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to me on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable.  I acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and National Insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 8 of the Subscription Agreement.

4.             Administration of the Plan.

(a)           Procedure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6.             Limitations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(i)             In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

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

 
-8-

 

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

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

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

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

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

(i)            cash;

(ii)           check;

(iii)           promissory note;

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

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

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

 
-9-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

(c)           Certificates for Restricted Stock.  Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine.  If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Awardee, certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

9.             Restricted Stock Units.  The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Service Provider selected by the Committee in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.  At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate.  On the vesting date, the Company shall transfer to the Awardee one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited.  Alternatively, settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit may be made in cash (in an amount reflecting the Fair Market Value of Shares that would have been issued) or any combination of cash and Shares, as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator may authorize Dividend Equivalents to be paid on outstanding Restricted Stock Units.  If Dividend Equivalents are authorized to be paid, they may be paid at the time dividends are declared on the Shares or at the time the awards vest and they may be paid in either cash or Shares, in the discretion of the Administrator.

10.           Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.

 
-11-

 

(a)           Description.  A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Awardee (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over (B) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right and (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.

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

(c)           Payment and Limitations on Exercise.

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

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

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

11.           Performance-Based Awards for Covered Employees.

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

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

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

 
-12-

 

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

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

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

13.           General Provisions Applicable to All Awards.

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

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

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

 
-13-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 
-14-

 

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

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

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

15.           Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

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

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

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

16.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

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

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

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

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

 
-16-

 

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

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

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

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

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

 
-17-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

G.            NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.

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

H.           Nature of Option Grant.

In accepting this Option, the Optionee acknowledges the following:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 
-25-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I.             No Advice Regarding Grant.

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

J.             Data Privacy.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

M.           Imposition of Other Requirements.

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

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

F.             Tax Obligations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country.  The Optionee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  The Optionee authorizes the Company, the Company’s broker and any other third parties which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The Optionee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.  The Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

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

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

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

AUSTRALIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Notification.  If the Optionee acquires Shares under the Plan and offers the Shares for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law, and the Optionee should obtain legal advice regarding any applicable disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.

Exchange Control Notification.  Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and international fund transfers.  The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report for the Optionee.  If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, the Optionee will be required to file the report him/herself.

BELGIUM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

NOTIFICATIONS

-37-

 

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

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

CZECH REPUBLIC

NOTIFICATIONS

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

FRANCE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Option Not Tax-Qualified.  The Optionee understands that this Option is not intended to be French tax-qualified.

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  If the Optionee imports or exports cash (e.g., sales proceeds received under the Plan) with a value equal to or exceeding €7,600 and does not use a financial institution to do so, he or she must submit a report to the customs and excise authorities.  If the Optionee maintains a foreign bank account, he or she is required to report the maintenance of such to the French tax authorities when filing his or her annual tax return.

GERMANY

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information.  Cross-border payments in excess of €12,500 must be reported monthly to the German Federal Bank.  If the Optionee uses a German bank to transfer a cross-border payment in excess of €12,500 in connection with the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan, the bank will make the report for the Optionee.  In addition, the Optionee must report any receivables or payables or debts in foreign currency exceeding an amount of €5,000,000 on a monthly basis.

INDIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Payment Method.  The Optionee understands and agrees that, if he or she elects to pay the Exercise Price by means of a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, he or she will not be permitted to engage in a “cashless sell-to-cover” exercise whereby a portion of Exercised Shares are sold at exercise to cover the Exercise Price, Tax-Related Items, including FBT, and brokerage fees.

NOTIFICATIONS

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

ITALY

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 
-40-

 

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

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

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

NOTIFICATIONS

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

JAPAN

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

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

KOREA

NOTIFICATIONS

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

NETHERLANDS

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

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

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

NEW ZEALAND

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

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

 
-42-

 

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

RUSSIA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

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

SINGAPORE

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

 
-43-

 

SPAIN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

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

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

SWEDEN

There are no country-specific terms and conditions.

THAILAND

NOTIFICATIONS

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

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

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

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

There are no country-specific provisions.

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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

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

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

 
-45-

 

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

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN

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

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

Settlement

Tax Obligations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN

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

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

Name:

Address:

You have been awarded the right to receive Common Stock of the Company or a cash equivalent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country in any appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”), as follows:

Award Number
 
   
Award Date
 
   
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded
 

Vesting Schedule

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

Settlement

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

Forfeiture

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

Tax Obligations

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

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

 
(d)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or

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

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

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

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

NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF YOUR EMPLOYER (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING AWARDED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS, OR RECEIVING CASH OR SHARES HEREUNDER).  YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR RIGHT OR YOUR EMPLOYER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW.

NETHERLANDS

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  You should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan.  In particular, you may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if you have inside information regarding the Company.

By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and participating in the Plan, you acknowledge having read and understood this Securities Law Information and further acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules.

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

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

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Nature of Grant.  This provision supplements the “Nature of Grant” section of the Award Agreement:

In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.

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

NOTIFICATIONS

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

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Restricted Stock Units Payable in Shares Only.  Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units do not provide any right for you to receive a cash payment and shall be paid in Shares only.

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

If you do not enter into a Joint Election prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, you will not be entitled to vest in the Restricted Stock Units unless and until you enter into a Joint Election, and no Shares will be issued to you under the Plan, without any liability to the Company or the Employer.

 
-67-

 

Tax Obligations.  The following provision supplements the “Tax Obligations” section of the Award Agreement:

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

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