PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
EXECUTIVE DEFERRAL PLAN

Adopted: December 16, 2015
Effective: January 22, 2015

Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation, (the “Company”), established this Executive Deferral Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective October 1, 1994, for the purpose of attracting high quality executives and promoting in its executives increased efficiency and an interest in the successful operation of the Company by offering a deferral opportunity to accumulate capital on favorable economic terms.

The Plan has been amended and restated from time to time. The Plan underwent significant and comprehensive changes when it was amended during December 2005 to provide for certain transitional rules and was amended and restated as of July 21, 2008 and such other dates as specified herein to reflect the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) with respect to the terms and conditions applicable to amounts that are deferred and vested under the Plan after December 31, 2004 and subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 6.2(c) and 8.4, all benefits deferred under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 and any additional amounts that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, (the “Grandfathered Amounts”) shall continue to be subject solely to the terms of the separate Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004. The Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall be read to preclude the Plan from using any transition rules permitted under the Act, provided that no action will be permitted with respect to the Grandfathered Amounts that will subject such amounts to Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of January 22, 2015.

(a) A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more

2

than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.10(b) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.10(a) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

(ii) The date that a majority of the Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election

The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall not result in a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets if such transfer is to (A) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (B) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) a person or group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company, or (D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in Section 1.10(c)(iii) of this Plan.

Notwithstanding Sections 1.10(a), 1.10(b)(i) and 1.10(c) above, the consummation of a Business Combination shall not be deemed a Change in Control if, immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 50% of the total voting power of the Surviving Corporation resulting from such Business Combination or, if applicable, the Parent Corporation of such Surviving Corporation, is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Company’s Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination.

5

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

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to a Corporate Change Vesting Event, and the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Corporate Change Vesting Event, then for all purposes of this Plan, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Corporate Change Vesting Event for such Participant.

10.1 Distribution. If a Change in Control occurs, the Participant (or after the Participant’s death the Participant’s Beneficiary) shall receive a lump sum payment of the balance of the Participant’s Account within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control. In the event either: (a) such a distribution is made on a Change in Control; or (b) the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control and the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control (such a termination of employment an “Anticipatory Termination”) and the Participant receives a lump sum payment of the Participant’s Account in connection with such Anticipatory Termination, the Participant shall receive an additional adjustment payment within thirty (30) days after the Change in Control calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

10.2 Gross-Up Payment. In addition to any other amounts payable under this Plan, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, distribution or acceleration of vesting of any benefit under this Plan would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with respect to such excise tax, then the Participant shall be entitled to receive

17

an additional “gross-up payment” calculated as set forth in the change in control severance agreement in effect between the Company and the Participant as of the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if the Participant does not have a change in control severance agreement, the payment under this Section shall be determined in accordance with the calculation set forth in the most recent change in control severance agreement entered into by the Company and any executive of the Company; provided, further, that there shall be no duplication of such additional payment under this Plan and any change in control severance agreement. Any “gross-up payment” pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be made no later than December 31 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Section 4999 excise tax is remitted.

ARTICLE 11
WITHDRAWALS UPON AN UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY

Upon a finding by the Administrator that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrator may permit the Participant to cease any on-going deferrals for the Plan Year. Furthermore, the Participant may elect to receive a distribution from the vested balance of his or her Account equal to the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such Unforeseeable Emergency, including the amount reasonably determined to be sufficient to satisfy any applicable income taxes and penalties anticipated to result from the distribution. In any case, no distribution may be made to a Participant pursuant to this Article 11 to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan, the Savings Restoration Plan and any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that is aggregated with any portion of the Plan or the Savings Restoration Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Regulations. If a distribution is made to a Participant on account of Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may not make further Annual Deferrals or LT1 Deferrals (to the extent LTI Deferrals would otherwise be allowed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Plan) under the Plan until one entire Plan Year following the Plan Year in which a distribution based on Unforeseeable Emergency was made has elapsed, or such longer period as may be required by the Code. If, after December 31, 2007, a distribution is made from Grandfathered Amounts due to a “Financial Hardship” (as defined in the separate Plan applicable to Grandfathered Amounts), no cessation of deferrals shall be required with respect to Non-Grandfathered Amounts pursuant to this Article 11. Distributions to a Participant in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency pursuant to this Article 11 shall be made as follows: (a) first, from Grandfathered Amounts under the Savings Restoration Plan, to the extent thereof; (b) second, from other amounts under the Savings Restoration Plan, to the extent thereof; (c) third, from Grandfathered Amounts under the Plan, to the extent thereof; and (d) fourth, from other amounts under the Plan, to the extent thereof.

ARTICLE 12
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS

12.1 Non-assignability. The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or in any manner whatsoever. These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law.

12.2 No Right to Company Assets. The benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and the Participants and any Beneficiaries shall be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations under this Plan.

12.3 Protective Provisions. The Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits under this Plan, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan. If the Participant makes any material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then no benefits shall be payable to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary or estate under the Plan beyond the sum of the Participant’s Annual Deferrals, LTI Deferrals, and Discretionary Company Credits, if any.

12.4 Withholding. The Participant or the Beneficiary shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under the Plan.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the

event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is submitted in writing to the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Administrator.

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

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

Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator shall notify the Participant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Participant’s beneficiaries.

EXHIBIT A

The purpose of the adjustment payment to be added to the distribution made pursuant to Section 10.1 (the “Make Whole Amount”) is to offset the Participant’s inability to defer until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or later the payment of taxes on the amounts deferred and the earnings and interest that would have otherwise accrued between the date of the Change in Control and Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or such later date on which the Participant elected to commence receipt of his or her Account (the “Commencement Date”, provided that with regard to any Participant whose Termination of Employment occurs prior to the date of the Change in Control, the “Commencement Date” shall mean the date of the next scheduled payment, if any, of the Participant’s Account balance following the date of the Change in Control) under the Plan.

The Make Whole Amount shall be calculated as follows:

1. The Participant’s Account balance under the Plan as of the date of the Change in Control (or as of the Anticipatory Termination date, if larger) (the “EDP Amount”) will be projected forward to the Commencement Date at an assumed tax-deferred annual earnings rate equal to the Moody’s Seasoned Baa Corporate Bond Yield Average for the last twelve full calendar months prior to the Change in Control (the “Moody’s Rate”) (such projected amount shall be known as the “Projected Balance”). The Projected Balance will then be converted into annual installment benefit payments based upon the Participant’s elected form of retirement payments under the Plan, assuming continued tax-deferred earnings on the undistributed balance at the Moody’s Rate (the “Projected Annual Payouts”). The Projected Annual Payouts will then be reduced for assumed income taxes at the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal rates of taxation in effect in the Participant’s taxing jurisdiction(s) for the calendar year in which the Make Whole Amount is paid (the “Tax Rate”). The after-tax Projected Annual Payouts will be known as the “After-Tax Projected Benefits”.

2. The term “Made Whole Amount”, as used herein, shall mean the EDP Amount plus the Make Whole Amount. The Make Whole Amount is the amount which, when added to the EDP Amount, will yield After-Tax Annuity Benefits (as hereinafter defined) equal to the After-Tax Projected Benefits, based on the following assumptions:

(a) The Made Whole Amount will be taxed at the Tax Rate upon receipt by the Participant.

(b) The after-tax Made Whole Amount will be deemed to be invested, by the Participant in a tax-deferred annuity that is structured to make payments beginning on the Commencement Date in the same form as elected by the Participant under the Plan (the “Annuity”).

(c) The Annuity will accrue interest at the Moody’s Rate, less 80 basis points (i.e., 0.80%).

25

(d) Annual Annuity payments will be taxed at the Tax Rate (after taking into account the annuity exclusion ratio), yielding “After-Tax Annuity Benefits”.

26
