Exhibit 10.15
 
December 31, 2008

Subject: Internal Revenue Code Section 409A--Amendments to Offer Letter

Dear Raj,

This letter serves to amend you offer letter dated December 6, 2004 (the “Offer
Letter”), in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to avoid the adverse tax
consequences to which you may be subject for non-compliance with this law.

The fourth paragraph in the Offer Letter shall be superseded and replaced in its
entirety with the following paragraph:

You will be awarded a special annual bonus during each of the first five years
of your employment with Trimble Navigation Limited to defray some of the costs
related to northern California housing.  The amount of the annual bonuses during
the first three years shall be $55,000, while the amount of the annual bonuses
for the remaining two years shall be $40,000.  These annual bonuses shall be
paid to you on the last day of each calendar year beginning in December 2005,
provided you remain continuously employed through the applicable payment
date.  Anything to the contrary in the foregoing notwithstanding, no special
bonus that is contemplated in this paragraph shall be paid following March 15th
of the year following the year in which the payment of the special bonus was
due.

All other provisions in the Offer Letter remain in effect.

Kindly sign below if you agree with this amendment.

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
