 PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN 
 Adopted: 07/21/2008 
 Effective: 07/21/2008 
 Parker-Hannifin
Corporation, an Ohio corporation, (the “Company”), established this Savings Restoration 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 restoring some of the deferral opportunities and employer-provided benefits that are lost under The Parker Retirement Savings Plan due to legislative
limits. The Plan was amended during December 2005 to provide for certain transitional rules and is hereby 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 under the Savings Restoration Plan after December 31, 2004 and subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in Sections 4.1(i), 6.2(iii) and 8.4 of this Plan, all benefits deferred and vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 and any additional amounts that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, including
the portion of a Participant’s Excess RIA Account that was vested under the terms of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2004 and earnings thereon, (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. 
 ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS 
  

	1.1.	Account shall mean the notional account established for record-keeping purposes for a Participant pursuant to Article 5. The term Account shall include the Restoration
Account and/or the Excess RIA Account, as applicable. 

  

	1.2.	Adjusted Matching Percentage shall mean the sum of 100% of the first 3% of a Participant’s Total Deferral Percentage, plus 50% of the next 2% of the Participant’s
Total Deferral Percentage. The maximum Adjusted Matching Percentage for any Plan Year shall be 4%. 

  

	1.3.	Administrator shall mean the Company or, if applicable, the committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to administer the Plan pursuant to Article 13.


  

	1.4.	 Affiliated Group shall mean the Company and all entities with which the Company would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the
Code, provided that in applying Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code for purposes of 











	 	 
determining a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead of
“at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code, and in applying Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not
incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in that regulation. Such term shall be interpreted
in a manner consistent with the definition of “service recipient” contained in Section 409A of the Code. 


  

	1.5.	Annual Deferral shall mean the amount of Compensation which the Participant elects to defer for a Plan Year pursuant to Articles 2 and 3. 

  

	1.6.	Annualized Base Salary shall mean a Participant’s annualized base salary, determined by the Administrator as of November 1 of the calendar year immediately
preceding the Plan Year for which the Matching Limit is being determined. 

  

	1.7.	Applicable Dollar Amount shall mean the “applicable dollar amount” determined under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code for the Plan Year for which the Matching

	1.9.	Change in Control means the occurrence of one of the following events: 

  

	 	(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 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 1.9(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. 

  


 2 









	 	(b)	A change in effective control of the Company, which occurs on either of the following dates: 

  

	 	(i)	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 (or has acquired during
the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or
group is considered to own 30% or more 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 effective control of the Company or a change in
ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.9(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 was not endorsed by a majority of
the members of the board prior to the date of such appointment or election.

meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to
or more than 65% of the total gross fair market value of all the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. 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: (i) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset
transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) 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 (iv) 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 1.9(c)(iii) of this Plan.

 Notwithstanding Sections 1.9(a), 1.9(b)(i) and 1.9(c) above, the consummation of a merger,
consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with
the transaction or otherwise (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 corporation resulting from such
Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving
Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by securities of the Company eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “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. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in Section 1.9(a) or 1.9(b)(i) above shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (a) an
acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (c) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities; or (d) the acquisition of stock of the Company from the Company.

 ARTICLE 10 CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 If a Change in
Control occurs, the Participant shall receive a lump sum payment of the balance of the vested Account thirty (30) days after the Change in Control. Such balance shall be determined as of the date of the Change in Control, without regard to
gains or losses attributable to the Account thereafter. 
 ARTICLE 11 WITHDRAWALS 
 Upon a finding 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 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 Executive Deferral Plan and any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that is aggregated with any portion of the Plan or the Executive Deferral 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 under the Plan until one entire Plan Year following the 

  

 16 








 
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
Plan, to the extent thereof; (b) second, from other amounts under the Plan, to the extent thereof; (c) third, from Grandfathered Amounts under the Executive Deferral Plan, to the extent thereof; and (d) fourth, from other amounts
under the Executive Deferral 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. Each 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 a Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no
further obligation to the Participant under the Plan. If a 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. 

  

	12.4.	Withholding. Each Participant and 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. If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be
required. 

 ARTICLE 13 ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN 
 The Company shall administer the Plan, provided, however, that the Company may elect to appoint a committee of three (3) or more individuals to administer the Plan. All references to the Administrator herein
shall refer to the Company or, if such committee has been appointed, the committee. 
  

 17 








 The Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall have discretionary authority to interpret, construe
and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms, provided that such authority shall be exercised consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator shall further establish, adopt or revise such rules and
regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Administrator shall be final and binding. The individuals serving on the committee shall, except as prohibited by law, be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company from any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees), to the extent not covered by liability insurance arising out of any action taken by any member of the committee with respect to the Plan, unless such
liability arises from the individual’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 ARTICLE 14 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. 
 ARTICLE 15 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF
PLAN 
  

	15.1.	Amendment of Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that such amendment: (i) shall not decrease the balance of the Participant’s Account at
the time of such amendment; and (ii) shall not retroactively decrease the applicable Crediting Rate of the Plan prior to the time of such amendment. 

  

	 	(b)	 In addition, no amendment shall permit an acceleration of time of payment of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan, other than: (i) as necessary to
comply with a certificate of divestiture, as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code; (ii) in accordance with Sections 6.5 and 8.5 with respect to small cashouts; (iii) as necessary to pay Federal Insurance Contribution
(“FICA”) taxes and any resulting federal, state, local or foreign income taxes attributable to amounts deferred under the Plan, subject 



  

 18 









	 	 
to the limitations of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) of the Regulations; (iv) in the event the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code with respect to one or more Participants, and then only in such amount as is included in income of such Participant(s) as a result of such failure; (v) due to a termination of the Plan pursuant to
Section 15.2 that meets the requirements of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations; or (vi) as otherwise may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code. 


  

	 	(c)	The Company may amend the Crediting Rate of the Plan prospectively, in which case the Company shall notify the Participants of such amendment in writing within thirty (30) days
after such amendment. 

  

	15.2.	Termination of Plan. The Company may terminate the Plan only as permitted by Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations (Plan Terminations and Liquidations), or as
otherwise may be permitted by future Regulations or other guidance under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time determine to cease all future deferrals and contributions to the Plan. In such event,
Participants’ Accounts shall continue to be held and administered in accordance with the terms of this Plan; provided, however that the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to continue to credit Participants’ Accounts
with earnings at the otherwise applicable Crediting Rates or instead to credit Participants’ Accounts, as of January 1 of the year that all future deferrals and contributions to the Plan are ceased, with a reasonable rate of interest, not
less than the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, in either case continuing until distribution of Participants’ Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

  

	15.3.	Company Action. Except as provided in Section 15.4, the Company’s power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be exercisable by the Company’s Board of
Directors or by the committee or individual authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to exercise such powers. 

  

	15.4.	Distribution on Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. In the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred under the Plan fail to meet the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and must be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distribution of the amount required to be included in income shall be made to affected Participants to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the
Code. 

 ARTICLE 16 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	16.1.	Successors of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of
the Company.

 19 









	16.3.	Trust. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the
purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Benefits paid to the Participant from any such trust shall
be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company under the Plan.

right to continued employment with the Company. 

  

	16.5.	Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may
require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular. 

  

	16.6.	Captions. The captions of the articles and sections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.


  

	16.7.	Validity. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of
the Plan. 

  

	16.8.	Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision of the Plan by a Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach
by such Participant. 

  

	16.9.	Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio except where the laws of the State of Ohio are preempted by ERISA or
the Code. 

  

	16.10.	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by first class
mail, facsimile, or electronic mail to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the Administrator. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the
postmark. 

 ARTICLE 17 CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES 
  

	17.1.	 Claims Procedure. The Company shall notify a Participant in writing, within ninety (90) days after his or her written application for benefits, of his
or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Company determines that a Participant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth: (a) the specific reasons for such denial; (b) a
specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed; and
(d) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the 



  

 20 









	 	 
Company determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Company shall notify the Participant of the special
circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period. 


  

	17.2.	Review Procedure. If a Participant is determined by the Company not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Participant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or
different benefits, the Participant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Company. 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 Company of the petition, the Company shall afford the Participant
(and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Company in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Company 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 Company, 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. 

  

	17.3.	Payment. Any benefits paid in accordance with the procedures provided in this Article 17 shall be made consistent with the rules of Section 409A of the Code.
