TRIMBLE INC. 
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN
GLOBAL PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT  
AWARD AGREEMENT 
(Operating Income / Revenue) 
Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as set forth in the Trimble Inc. Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). 
Name:
Address:
You have been awarded the right to receive Common Stock of the Company or a cash equivalent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Global Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”, together with this Global Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement, the “Award Agreement”), as follows:
Target Number of Performance Stock Units     
The Performance Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement to Covered Employees are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.
Vesting Schedule
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Performance Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement vest (i) to the extent the Performance Goals (as set forth in Schedule A) applicable to the applicable Performance Period (as specified in Schedule A) are attained, as determined in accordance with the paragraph below and (ii) as long as you continue to be a Service Provider, as further described in paragraph 11 of the “Nature of Award” section below, from the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units through the last date of the Performance Period.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goals; provided, however, that in the case of Performance Stock Units intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the determination of the level of attainment of the Performance Goals shall be certified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) by the Administrator, which shall be comprised of “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m).  On the basis of the determination or certified level of attainment of the Performance Goals, the number of Performance Stock Units that are eligible to vest shall be calculated.  In the case of Performance Stock Units that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Administrator may not increase the number of Performance Stock Units that may be eligible to vest to a number that is greater than the number of Performance Stock Units 


1









determined in accordance with the foregoing sentence.  For Performance Stock Units that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Performance Goal may not be adjusted except as specified in the attached Schedule A in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m).  For Performance Stock Units that are not intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Administrator may make such adjustment to the Performance Goal as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate.
Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding:
(1)    In the event that you cease to be a Service Provider as a result of your death prior to the last day of the Performance Period, you shall vest in a number of Performance Stock Units equal to the product of the number of Performance Stock Units that become eligible to vest based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals calculated as of the end of the Performance Period, multiplied by the Pro Rata Factor, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Stock Units.  “Pro Rata Factor” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that you have completed as a Service Provider during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units and ending on the date that is the earlier of your death or the Shortened Performance Attainment Date, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the number of total days contained in the period commencing on the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units and ending on the last day of the Performance Period.
(2)    In the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, (A) the Performance Period shall be shortened to end on a date preceding the consummation of the Change in Control selected by the Company (the “Shortened Performance Attainment Date”), (B) a number of Performance Stock Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control equal to the product of (1) the number of Performance Stock Units that become eligible to vest based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals (or if the attainment level cannot then be measured, the Target Number of Performance Stock Units), multiplied by the (2) the Pro Rata Factor (the “Pro Rata Portion”), and (C) the number of Performance Stock Units equal to the difference between (1) the number of Performance Stock Units that became eligible to vest based on attainment of the Performance Goals as determined in subsection (2)(B)(1) of this paragraph, and (2) the Pro Rata Portion (the difference between these two amounts, the “Converted RSUs”), shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, provided you continue to be a Service Provider through such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you cease to be a Service Provider as a result of your involuntary termination by the Company (or an Affiliate) for reasons other than Cause within one year following the Change in Control and prior to the last day of the Performance Period, the Converted RSUs shall vest automatically as of the date you cease to be a Service Provider.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, as determined by the Company: (AA) your performance of any act or omission which, if you were prosecuted, would constitute a felony or misdemeanor; (BB) your failure to carry out your material duties; (CC) your dishonesty towards or fraud upon the Company or any Affiliate which is injurious to the Company or any Affiliate; (DD) your violation of any Company or Affiliate practice or agreement or confidentiality obligations to the Company, any Affiliate, or any customers of the Company or any Affiliate, or misappropriation of assets of the Company or any Affiliate; (EE) your death or inability to carry out your essential duties with reasonable accommodation, if any, unless prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the 


2









foregoing, if you are a party to a Change in Control Severance Agreement, the provisions of this paragraph (2) shall not apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Converted RSUs shall be subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan.
(3)    In the event that you have been selected to participate in the Company Age and Service Equity Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) on or before the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units, this Award Agreement shall also be subject to the terms of the Vesting Program. 
(4)    If you are a party to an Executive Severance Agreement with the Company, this Award Agreement shall also be subject to the terms of such Executive Severance Agreement.
Settlement
For each vested Performance Stock Unit, you shall be entitled to receive (1) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of Performance Stock Units vesting on such vesting date, or (2) a cash payment equal to the product of the number of Performance Stock Units vesting on such vesting date and the Fair Market Value of one Share on such vesting date or (3) a combination of the foregoing at the Company’s discretion under the terms of the Plan.  Such payment shall be made on or as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, but no later than the earlier of (i) 74 days following the end of the Performance Period, (ii) 30 days following a Change in Control (in the event of a vesting event pursuant to paragraph (2) under the “Vesting Schedule” section above), or (iii) 30 days following the date you cease to be a Service Provider (in the event of a vesting event pursuant to paragraph (2) under the “Vesting Schedule” section above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent this Award Agreement is subject to a Change in Control Severance Agreement, an Executive Severance Agreement or the Vesting Program, the settlement terms of such agreement or program shall control with respect to the Performance Stock Units to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
Forfeiture
Except as provided above under the heading “Vesting Schedule,” upon the date that you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason, all unvested Performance Stock Units shall be forfeited.  The date you cease to be a Service Provider for purposes of the Award will be the date described in paragraph (11) of the “Nature of Award” section below.
Tax Obligations
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock 


3









Units, the issuance of Shares (or the cash equivalent) upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Award or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to fulfill all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  
(1)    withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or
(2)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Performance Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization and without further consent); or 
(3)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement or from the cash payment received at settlement (if any) of the Performance Stock Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable permissible statutory rate for your tax jurisdiction(s), in which case you have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in shares and will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash in accordance with applicable law.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation for the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares (or the cash equivalent) or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Code Section 409A
The vesting and settlement of Performance Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement are intended to qualify for the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code.  In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.  The Administrator reserves the right, 


4









to the extent the Administrator deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to ensure that the Performance Stock Units qualify for exemption from or comply with Section 409A of the Code or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance is not practical; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Performance Stock Units will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to these Performance Stock Units.  Nothing in this Award Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of this Award Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will have any liability under any circumstances to you or any other party if the Performance Stock Units that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.  You

Securities Law Information.  You are permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.  The Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  You are required to report any foreign specified property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Performance Stock Units), annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds CAD100,000 at any time during the year.  Thus, Performance Stock Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the CAD100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property you hold.  When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares.  The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares.  The Form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year.  You understand and agree you should consult your personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

NEW ZEALAND
NOTIFICATIONS


Securities Law Information.  You are being offered Performance Stock Units which, if vested, will entitle you to acquire Shares in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan.  The Shares, if issued, will give you a stake in the ownership of the Company.  You may receive a return if dividends are paid.  


If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment, if any.


New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.  Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.


The Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”).  This means that if you acquire Shares under the Plan, you may be able to sell the Shares on the Nasdaq if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.
