INTRODUCTION

          This Polaris Industries Inc. Supplemental Retirement/Savings Plan originally became effective July 1, 1995. On December 31, 1996, Polaris Industries Inc., a Delaware limited partnership, and the original sponsor of the Plan, was merged with and into Polaris Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation, which then became the new sponsor of the Plan. The Plan was amended effective December 31, 1996 to reflect that merger.

          The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety effective as of January 1, 2008 to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety effective as of December 31, 2008.

          This Plan is generally intended to provide certain executives who participate in the Polaris Industries Inc. 401(k) Retirement/Savings Plan, the Polaris Industries Inc. Senior Executive Annual Compensation Plan, the Polaris Industries Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan, and/or the Polaris Industries Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan with an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation until their retirement or other termination of employment and to have contributions credited as if such contributions had been made under the Savings Plan in order to restore contributions lost because of the application of Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the Savings Plan. The Plan is unfunded and is maintained by Polaris Industries Inc. and Affiliated Companies and their respective successors primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a), in the event a Member receives a withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.3 due to an unforeseeable emergency or a financial hardship withdrawal from the Savings Plan, the Member’s Deferrals under this Plan shall be suspended for the remainder of the calendar year in which such withdrawal or distribution occurs. The Administrator shall resume his Deferrals with respect to payroll periods beginning on or after the January 1 following the date of suspension, in a time and manner determined by the Administrator; provided, that the Administrator shall approve such resumption only if the Administrator determines that the Eligible Executive is no longer subject to the unforeseeable emergency or incurring the financial hardship.

     3.5 Certain Additional Credits: On each Valuation Date, there shall be credited to the Account of an Eligible Executive Additional Credits an amount equal to the Deferrals credited to such Eligible Executive’s Account since the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

     3.6 Timing of Deferral Elections: All elections with respect to Deferral of Compensation awarded under the Bonus Plan, the LTIP or the Omnibus Plan must be filed no later than:

(a) If such Compensation meets the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), six months prior to the end of the Incentive Compensation Award Period (as defined in the LTIP and Bonus Plan) or the Performance Period (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) with respect to which such Compensation is paid; or

(b) If such Compensation does not meet the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), the last day of the year prior to the first year of the Incentive Compensation Award Period (as defined in the LTIP and Bonus Plan) or the Performance Period (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) with respect to which such Compensation is paid.

          In either case (a) or (b) above, such election shall become irrevocable as of the date which is twelve months prior to the end of the Incentive Compensation Award Period (as defined in the LTIP and Bonus Plan) or the Performance Period (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) or the last day of the year prior to the first year of such period, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an election with respect to the payment of Compensation that meets the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury

6

Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), no election to defer payment of an such Compensation may be made after the amount of such Compensation becomes readily ascertainable, and the Member must be continuously employed from the later of the beginning of the Incentive Compensation Award Period (as defined in the LTIP and Bonus Plan) or the Performance Period (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) or the date the Business Criteria (as defined in the LTIP and Bonus Plan) or Performance Measures (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) applicable to such Compensation are established, to the date of the election under this Section 3.6.

ARTICLE 4. MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS

     4.1 Accounts: An Account shall be established for each Member. As of each Valuation Date, each Member’s Account shall be credited with deemed investment earnings and losses pursuant to Section 4.2.

     4.2 Deemed Investments: Each Member’s shall have the same rights with respect to the deemed investment of his or her Account under this Plan as such Member has with respect to the investment of his or her Account under the Savings Plan, including available funds, the frequency with which the Member may change deemed investments and default deemed investments. As of each Valuation Date, deemed investment earnings and losses shall be applied to each Member’s Account based upon the performance of the applicable investment funds.

     4.3 Statement of Accounts: A statement will be sent to each Member as to the balance of his Account at least once each calendar year.

     4.4 Vesting of Account: Each Member shall at all times be fully vested in his Account.

ARTICLE 5. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     5.1 Commencement of Payment:

(a) The distribution of the Member’s or former Member’s Account shall commence, pursuant to Section 5.2, on or after the occurrence of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) below, as designated by the Member as part of his Distribution Option election:

(i)	either the date of the Member’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder) with the Affiliated Companies for any reason, whether with or without cause, or the first anniversary of such date,
(ii)	attainment of a designated age not earlier than age 59 1/2 nor later than age 70 1/2,
(iii)	the earlier of (i) or (ii) above, or
(iv)	the later of (i) or (ii) above.

7

In the event a Member elects either (ii) or (iii) above, he may not elect an age less than three (3) years subsequent to his current age. A Member or former Member shall not change his Distribution Option election of the designation of the event which entitles him to distribution of his Account, except as provided in Section 5.1(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment of a Member’s Account is to be made or is to commence upon separation from service and if, at the time of such separation from service, such Member is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A(1)(B) of the Code), such payment shall be made or shall commence on the date that six (6) months and one day following such Member’s separation from service.

(b) A Member or former Member may make a request to the Administrator to defer the Member’s designated distribution event under Section 5.1(a), as modified by an prior change pursuant to this Section 5.1(b). The request must be filed in writing with the Administrator at least one year prior to when distribution would commence based on the current designation and must defer distribution for at least five years following the date on which distribution would otherwise have been made. The deferral request must specify a distribution event described in Section 5.1(a), shall be subject to approval of the Administrator and, if approved, shall be effective as of the date that is one year after the request is filed with the Administrator. If the Member’s current distribution event will occur upon his termination of employment and the Member’s employment terminates within one year after the deferral request is made, the deferral request shall not be effective.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, a Member’s Account shall be distributed upon his death.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in their sole and absolute discretion, the Participating Companies may delay payment of a benefit under this Plan to any Member to the extent required to avoid the nondeductibility of such benefit under Section 162(m) of the Code or to avoid a violation of federal securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, if a Member’s payment is delayed, the benefit to which he is entitled will not decrease after the date it would otherwise be distributed. Payment shall be made during the first taxable year in which the Participating Companies reasonably anticipate that Section 162(m) of the Code will not cause the payment to be nondeductible or that the payment will not violate federal securities laws or other applicable law.

     5.2 Method of Payment: A Member’s or former Member’s Account shall be distributed or commence to be distributed to him, or in the event of his death to his Beneficiary, as soon as administratively practicable following the date provided in the Member’s Distribution Option elected under Section 5.1 or his date of death, as the case may be, based upon the Member’s Account as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date of distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment must be made no later than the later of (i) the last day of the plan year in which the distribution event occurs or (ii) 2-1/2 months

8

following the date of such distribution event. Such distribution shall be made either (i) in a single lump sum payment or (ii) in substantially equal monthly, quarterly or annual payments over a period not in excess of ten (10) years. If the installment method is elected, the Member’s Account, until fully distributed, shall continue to be credited with deemed investment earnings and losses in accordance with Section 4.2, and each installment payment shall equal a fraction of the Account balance, as of the most recent Valuation Date, equal to one over the number of installment payments left. A Member shall be entitled to elect the form of distribution to him or his Beneficiary at the time of commencement of his participation under this Plan and any such election shall be irrevocable and never subject to change except prospectively. If a Member shall fail to make a proper election as to the form of distribution of his Account, the Committee shall determine the method by which such Member’s Account shall be distributed to him or his Beneficiary.

     5.3 Unforeseeable Emergency:

(a) While employed by the Participating Companies, a Member or former Member may, in the event of an unforeseeable emergency, request a withdrawal from his Account. The request shall be made in a time and manner determined by the Administrator, shall not be for a greater amount than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (including any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal), and shall be subject to approval by the Administrator.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.3 an unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Member resulting from (i) an illness or accident of the Member, the Member’s spouse, the Member’s beneficiary, or the Member’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) of the Code), (ii) loss of the Member’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster), or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a withdrawal on the basis of unforeseeable emergency is not permitted to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Member’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan.

     5.4 Designation of Beneficiary: A Member or former Member may, in a time and manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary and one or more contingent beneficiaries (which may include the Member’s or former Member’s estate) to receive any benefits which may be payable under this Plan upon his death. If the Member or former Member fails to designate a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary, or if the beneficiary and the contingent beneficiaries fail to survive the Member or former Member, such benefits shall be paid to the Member’s or former Member’s estate. A Member or former Member may revoke or change any designation made under this Section 5.4 in a time and manner determined by the Administrator.

     5.5 Status of Account Pending Distribution: Pending distribution, a former Member’s Account shall continue to be credited with earnings and losses as provided in Section 4.2. The former Member shall be entitled to apply for hardship withdrawals under Section 5.3 to the same extent as if he were a Member of the Plan.

     5.6 Change of Control: In the event a Change of Control has occurred, each Member or former Member shall receive, and the Plan Sponsor shall pay within 7 days of such Change of Control, a lump sum payment equal to the value of the Member’s or former Member’s Accounts (determined under Article 4) as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date of such Change of Control. The amount of each Member’s or former Member’s lump sum payment shall be determined by the Plan Sponsor’s accountants after consultation with the entity then maintaining the Plan’s records, and shall be projected, if necessary, to such Valuation Date from the last valuation of Member’s or former Member’s Accounts for which information is readily available.

ARTICLE 6. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

     6.1 Right to Terminate: The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Plan and the related Deferral Agreements at any time (other than at a time proximate to a downturn in the financial health of any Affiliated Company) provided that all deferred compensation plans that must be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, if any, are also terminated. In the event the Plan and related Deferral Agreements are terminated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, each Member, former Member or beneficiary shall receive a single sum payment equal to the balance in his Account no earlier than 12 months nor later than 24 months following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Plan at any time within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A). In the event the Plan and related Deferral Agreements are terminated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, each Member, former Member and beneficiary shall receive a single sum payment equal to the balance in his Account as soon as practicable thereafter.

     6.2 Right to Amend: Each Participating Company, by proper action of its governing body, may, in its sole discretion, amend this Plan and the related Deferral Agreements with respect to the Members employed by such Participating Company on 30 days’ prior notice to the Members and, where applicable, former Members. If any amendment to this Plan or to the Deferral Agreements shall adversely affect the rights of a Member or former Member, such individual must consent in writing to such amendment prior to its effective date. If such individual does not consent to the amendment, the Plan and related Deferral Agreements shall be deemed to be terminated with respect to such individual and he shall receive a single sum payment of his Account as soon thereafter as is practicable.

     6.3 Uniform Action: Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any action to amend or terminate the Plan or the Deferral Agreements must be taken in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.
