Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

          Amendment to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

          On May 19, 2005, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).  The amendment adds the members of the Board of Directors as eligible participants under the Plan.

          Amendment to the 2002 Stock Plan and Grant of Award

          On May 19, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan (“2002 Plan”) to allow the granting of stock awards under the 2002 Plan.  The 2002 Plan, as amended, provides that no more than 10% of the shares available under the 2002 Plan may be granted in the form of stock awards.  Each option or award under the 2002 Plan is evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the optionee or awardee.

          The 2002 Plan administrator determines the time or times at which a stock award vests.  Grantees of stock awards are entitled to receive stock awards without payment of any consideration to the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable law.  Unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, awardees will have full voting rights and be entitled to regular cash dividends with respect to the shares subject to an award.  

          In January 2005 the Board of Directors granted a stock award of 20,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Steven W. Berglund, President and Chief Executive Officer, effective upon approval of the 2002 Plan amendment by the Company’s shareholders.  The award vests 20% on June 30, 2005 and an additional 20% each June 30 thereafter, so long as Mr. Berglund remains employed with the Company through each such vesting date.

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Effective December 30, 2004

Purpose

          The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to Directors and a select group of management or highly compensated Employees who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of Trimble Navigation Limited, a California corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any, that sponsor this Plan.  This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. 

          Except as otherwise provided below, effective December 30, 2004 (the “Restatement Date”) the provisions of this Plan shall amend and restate the plan provisions of the Trimble Navigation Limited Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective February 10, 1994 (“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan”) with respect to all account balances credited to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, the provisions of this Plan are not intended to modify or affect the trust provisions that relate to such account balances.

          The Plan is intended to comply with all applicable law, including Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance and Regulations, and shall be operated and interpreted in accordance with this intention. Consistent with the foregoing, and in order to transition this nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement to the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance and Regulations, the Committee has made available to Participants certain limited transition relief described more fully in Appendix A of this Plan, in accordance with Notice 2005-1 promulgated pursuant to Code Section 409A. 

ARTICLE 1

Definitions

          For the purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:

1.1

“Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, an entry on the records of the Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account balance and (ii) the Company Contribution Account balance. The Account Balance shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

 

 

1.2

“Annual Account” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, an entry on the records of the Employer equal to the following amount: (i) the sum of the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount and Company Contribution Amount for any one Plan Year, plus (ii) amounts credited or debited to such amounts pursuant to this Plan, less (iii) all distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the Annual Account for such Plan Year.  The Annual Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

-1-



1.3

“Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Base Salary, Bonus, Director Fees and LTIP Amounts that a Participant defers in accordance with Article 3 for any one Plan Year, without regard to whether such amounts are withheld and credited during such Plan Year.  In the event of a Participant’s Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment, such year’s Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount withheld prior to the complete distribution of the Participant’s Account Balance following such event (as described more fully in Section 3.6).

 

 

1.4

“Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as follows: (i) for the first annual installment, the vested portion of each Annual Account (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion)shall be calculated as of the close of business on or around the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date, and (ii) for remaining annual installments, the vested portion of each Annual Account shall be calculated on every anniversary of such calculation date, as applicable.  Each annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant.  By way of example, if the Participant elects a ten (10) year Annual Installment Method for the Retirement Benefit, the first payment shall be 1/10 of such vested Annual Account, calculated as described in this definition.  The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the vested Annual Account, calculated as described in this definition.

 

 

1.5

“Base Salary” shall mean the cash compensation relating to services performed during any calendar year, excluding distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans, bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, director fees and other fees, and automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income).  Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or nonqualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent that had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee.

Each Director or selected Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan shall commence participation in the Plan on the date that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Director or Employee has met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan and required by the Committee, including returning all required documents to the Committee within the specified time period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall process such Participant’s deferral election as soon as administratively practicable after such deferral election is submitted to and accepted by the Committee.

If a Director or an Employee fails to meet all requirements contained in this Section 2.2 within the period required, that Director or Employee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Plan Year.


2.3

Termination of a Participant’s Eligibility.  If the Committee determines that a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, or that the inclusion of Directors in this Plan could jeopardize the status of this Plan as a plan intended to be “unfunded” and “maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1), the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Committee makes such determination, (ii) prevent the Participant from making future deferral elections, and/or (iii) take further action that the Committee deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Termination of the Plan in accordance with Section 1.37, the termination of the affected Participants’ eligibility for participation in the Plan shall not be governed by this Section 2.3, but rather shall be governed by Section 1.37 and Section 12.1.  In the event that a Participant is no longer eligible to defer compensation under this Plan, the Participant’s Account Balance shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Plan until such time as the Participant’s Account Balance is paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

(e)

No Actual Investment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation of his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund.  In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investments on which the Measurement Funds are based, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves.  Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

If suspension of deferrals is not sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, or if suspension of deferrals is not required under Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, the Participant may further petition the Committee to receive a partial or full payout from the Plan.  The Participant shall only receive a payout from the Plan to the extent such payout is deemed necessary by the Committee to satisfy the Participant’s Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, plus amounts reasonably necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution.

The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than sixty (60) days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date.  Remaining installments, if any, shall be paid no later than sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date.

17.5

Not a Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant.  Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement.  Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer, either as an Employee or a Director, or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

 

 

17.6

Furnishing Information.  A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administra-tion of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary to determine Disability.

 

 

17.7

Terms.  Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

                         (a)     Procedure.

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

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

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

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

-4-



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

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

                                        (ii)         to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award or Option granted hereunder;

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

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

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

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

                                        (vii)       to modify or amend each Award or Option (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not reduce the exercise price of Options or cancel any outstanding Option and replace it with a new Option with a lower exercise price, where the economic effect would be the same as reducing the exercise price of the cancelled Option, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders;

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

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

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

-5-



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

          5.     Eligibility.  Nonstatutory Stock Options and Awards may be granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

          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 300,000 Shares.

                                        (ii)         In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options and Awards covering an additional 450,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

                                        (iii)        The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 13.

                                        (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 Section13), the cancelled Option or Award will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above.

          7.     Stock Awards.  Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to Options granted under the Plan.  Upon each vesting date, provided that the Awardee is then a Service Provider, the Awardee shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares vested without payment of any consideration to the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable law.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Awardees will have full voting rights and be entitled to regular cash dividends with respect to the Shares subject to their Awards.  An Award Agreement may provide that certain restrictions will apply to any such dividends.

-6-



          8.     Term of Plan.  Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.

          9.     Term of Award or Option.  The term of each Award or Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement or 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.

          10.     Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

                              (a)     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.

                                                       (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.

                                        (iii)        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 or employees being transferred to a new employer or discharged, or in the creation or severance of the Parent-Subsidiary relationship.

                         (b)     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.

                         (c)     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:

-7-



                                        (i)          cash;

                                        (ii)         check;

                                        (iii)        promissory note;

                                        (iv)        other Shares which, in the case of Shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, (A) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

                                        (v)         consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

                                        (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;

                                        (vii)       any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

                                        (viii)      such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

          11.     Exercise of Option; Vesting of Awards.

                         (a)     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.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

                                        An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company 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 or the vesting date of an Award.  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 Sections 7 and 13 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 Award or Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

-8-



                         (b)     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 Awardee ceases to be a Service Provider, for any reason, all unvested Shares covered by his or her Award shall be forfeited.  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee or Awardee is not vested as to his or her entire Option or Award, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option or Award 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. 

                         (c)     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.

                         (d)     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 Optionee’s death.  If, at the time of death, 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.

          12.     Transferability of Awards and Options.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award or 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.  If the Administrator makes an Award or Option transferable, suchAward or Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.          

-9-



13.     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.

                         (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 to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide that the vesting of an Award accelerate at any time prior to such transaction.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, and unvested Shares subject to an Award 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 as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and in the case of an Award, to accelerate the vesting of the Award.  If the Administrator makes an Option 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 that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option 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, the Optionee shall have the right within three (3) months thereafter to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not be otherwise exercisable, effective as of the date of such termination and (ii) in the case of an Award, the Award shall be fully vested on the date of such termination.

-10-



                                        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 Optioned Stock subject to the Option 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, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, 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.

          14.     Date of Grant.  Except for Optionsgranted to Outside Directors under Section 15 hereof, 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.  Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Awardee and Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

          15.     Option Grants to Outside Directors.  All grants of Options to Outside Directors shall be automatic and non-discretionary and shall be made strictly in accordance with the following provisions:

                                        (i)          No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by Options granted to Outside Directors.

                                        (ii)         Each Outside Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 15,000 Shares (the “First Option”) upon the date on which such person first becomes a Director, whether through election by the shareholders of the Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy.

                                        (iii)        After a First Option has been granted to any Outside Director, each Outside Director shall thereafter be automatically granted an Option to purchase 7,500 Shares (a “Subsequent Option”) on the day of each subsequent annual shareholders meeting at which such Outside Director is reelected to an additional term; provided, however, that no Subsequent Option shall be granted for the first annual shareholders meeting following the grant of a First Option to any director.

                                        (iv)        In the event that the number of Shares remaining available for grant under the Plan is less than the number of Shares required for an automatic grant pursuant to either subsection (ii) or (iii) hereof, then each such automatic grant shall be for that number of Shares determined by dividing the total number of Shares remaining available for grant by the number of Outside Directors on the automatic grant date.  Any further automatic grants shall then be deferred until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan through action to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options previously granted under the Plan.

-11-



                                        (v)         The terms of an Option granted hereunder shall be consistent with the requirements set forth elsewhere in this plan, except that the Option shall become exercisable in installments cumulatively with respect to 1/36 of the Shares for each complete calendar month after the date of grant of such Option.

                                        (vi)        The number of Shares granted pursuant to subsections (ii) and (iii) hereof shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 13.

          16.     Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

                         (a)     Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 

                         (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 after it has been granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 13), unless approved by the Company’s shareholders.  Neither may the Administrator, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, cancel any outstanding Option and replace it with a new Option with a lower exercise price, where the economic effect would be the same as reducing the exercise price of the cancelled Option.  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 13 hereof, shall be approved by the Company’s shareholders.

          17.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Deferred Compensation Legislation.

                         (a)     Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the vesting of an Award unless the exercise of such Option 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.  The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Awards and Options granted under the Plan may be amended for puposes of such compliance.

                         (b)     Investment Representations.  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.

-12-



          18.     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.

          19.     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.

          20.     Shareholder Approval.  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.

               A.          Grant of Option.

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

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

               B.          Exercise of Option.

                              (a)          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.

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

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

-15-



               C.          Method of Payment.

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

          B.          Purchase Price. There is no purchase price for the Awarded Stock.  The Awardee’s performance of services for the Company shall be the consideration rendered for the Awarded Stock.

          C.          Restrictions with Respect to Awarded Stock.

                        (i)  Restrictions.  The Awarded Stock granted hereunder and any interest therein, may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, prior to the lapsing of restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement.  Any attempt to dispose of any Awarded Stock in contravention of any such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect.

                        (ii)  Restricted Period; Lapse of Restrictions.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the restrictions set forth in Paragraph C(i) shall lapse with respect to the number of Awarded Shares vesting in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant, so long as the Grantee continues to be a Service Provider to the Company or any Subsidiary as of each such vesting date.

          D.          Form of Restricted Stock.  The Company may, in its discretion, reflect ownership of Awarded Stock through the issuance of stock certificates, in book-entry form or any combination thereof.

          E.          Vesting; Unrestricted Shares.  Promptly after each vesting date relating to the Awarded Stock without forfeiture, and provided that the Awardee shall have complied with his or her obligations under Paragraph I hereof, the Company shall, with respect to such vested shares:

                        If such vested shares were initially issued in certificated form, issue to the Awardee or the Awardee’s personal representative a stock certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, free of the restrictive legend described in Paragraph G, equal to the number of shares of Awarded Stock with respect to which such restrictions have lapsed.  If certificates representing such Awarded Stock shall have theretofore been delivered to the Awardee, such certificates shall be returned to the Company, complete with any necessary signatures or instruments of transfer prior to the issuance by the Company of such unlegended shares of Common Stock; or

                        If such Awarded Stock was initially issued in book-entry form, transfer such unlegended shares to the Awardee in the form and registration as requested by the Awardee.

          F.          Rights as a Shareholder.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Awardee shall possess all incidents of ownership with respect to the Awarded Stock granted hereunder, including the right to vote such Awarded Stock and the right to receive dividends with respect to such Awarded Stock; provided however, that extraordinary or non-cash dividends shall be subject to the same restrictions that apply to the underlying Awarded Stock.

-25-



          G.          Certificate; Restrictive Legend.  Any certificate issued for Awarded Stock prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions relating thereto shall be inscribed with the following legend, or such other legend as determined by the Administrator:

 

             THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING FORFEITURE PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST TRANSFER (THE “RESTRICTIONS”), CONTAINED IN THE TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED  2002 STOCK PLAN AND THE STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND THE COMPANY.  ANY ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THESE SHARES IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING BY WAY OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT.

          H.          Termination as a Service Provider.   Upon the Awardee’s termination as a Service Provider, for any reason, including death or termination due to Disability, prior to the vesting date with respect to any portion of the Awarded Stock granted hereunder, the Awardee shall forfeit any rights to the shares of Awarded Stock that have not vested and shall have no further rights thereto.

          I.           Taxes.    The Company (or Subsidiary, as the case may be) may require the Awardee to remit to the Company (or Subsidiary, as the case may be) in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding requirements related to the Award.  The Awardee may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company reduce the number of shares of unrestricted Common Stock or by delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock already owned by the Awardee for at least 6 months, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld.  Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined, and fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash.  Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to the Award.  Awardee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to remove the restrictions with respect to such Shares if such withholding amounts are not satisfied at the time of vesting.

                        The Awardee shall promptly notify the Company of any election made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

          J.          Adjustments.  The Award and all rights and obligations under this Award Agreement are subject to Section 13 of the Plan.

          K.          Tax Representations.  The Grantee has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement.  The Awardee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statement or representations of the Company or any of its agents.  The Awardee understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Award Agreement.

-26-



          L.          Entire Agreement; Governing Law.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Awardee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Awardee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Awardee.  This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the state of California.

          M.         NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.

                        AWARDEE 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 (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN AWARD OR RECEIVING SHARES HEREUNDER).  AWARDEE 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 AWARDEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE AWARDEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
