Dear Francois:

I am pleased to extend to you this offer of employment to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Trimble Navigation Limited.  This offer is contingent upon Trimble Board of Director approval and the successful completion of a background check.  We believe you are well suited to be a primary factor in taking Trimble to the next level of performance.  We anticipate your start date to be January 6, 2014.

Your base salary will be paid on a bi-weekly basis aggregating to the equivalent of four hundred twenty five thousand dollars ($425,000.00), annualized. You will be eligible to participate in Trimble’s Management Incentive Plan with an annual target bonus at 80% of base salary, payout depending on company performance as outlined in the Management Incentive Plan adopted Board of Directors. Since you will be a key member of the Trimble executive team, it will be recommended to the Board of Directors that you be granted Restricted Stock Units (“Initial RSUs”) with an aggregate dollar value of $3,000,000 as of commencement of employment on January 6, 2014, granted as of that date, calculated as follows:  the number of RSUs awarded will be determined by dividing 3,000,000 by the unweighted average of closing Trimble share prices for the preceding thirty day period.  In addition you will be granted an additional 50,000 RSUs (“Additional RSUs”) on June 2, 2014, subject to your continued employment on such date.  In both cases the RSUs will vest over a three-year period with 33% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date, 33% of the RSUs vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 34% of the RSUs vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date .    

You will be eligible for the Trimble Executive Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.  Under this plan, you may defer up to 100% of future salary and up to 100% of any future bonus.  Details will be provided under separate cover.

In the event of a change of control of the company, you will be provided the coverage as specified in the change in control agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “CIC Agreement”).  The agreement, under defined circumstances, will allow for the payment of one year’s base salary and target bonus upon constructive termination of employment in connection with a change in control.  The agreement also accelerates the vesting of all stock option awards and RSUs upon a change in control.  .  

Trimble is an “at will” employer, meaning that the employer or employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.  If during your first three years of employment you are terminated by Trimble for any reason other than cause, Trimble will provide one year’s base salary and target bonus upon termination of employment, as well as acceleration of your unvested Initial RSUs and Additional RSUs awards referenced above that 

would have otherwise vested within one year of your termination date.  These severance benefits will be memorialized in a separate written agreement attached hereto as ExhibitB.

While other terms of your employment may change from time to time, the “at will” term and nature of your employment will not change.

Trimble has an attractive benefits package for employees including medical, dental, life, short and long term disability insurance, a Savings and Retirement Plan (401k) with a company match, and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    You will be entitled initially to 18 days of paid time off each year in addition to the 10 standard U.S. holidays.

Francois, Trimble’s success is derived from the people who work here.  Your acceptance of this offer will be enthusiastically received and we feel confident that you will make a significant contribution to our continued success.

Please call me if you have any questions or if I can be of additional assistance.  I can be reached at (408) 481-7200.

Best regards,

/s/ Steven W. Berglund

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT, effective on the date of last signature (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Trimble Navigation Limited (the “Company”) and Francois Delepine (the “Executive”).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders; and
WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control may arise and that such possibility may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to secure the Executive’s continued services and to ensure the Executive’s continued and undivided dedication to his duties in the event of any threat or occurrence of a change in control of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
		
	1.
	Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

(a)    “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b)    “Bonus” means the annual or quarterly bonuses payable pursuant to the Company’s Management Incentive Plan or such other plan that provides for the payment of incentive bonuses as may be, from time to time, authorized by the Board.
(c)    “Cause” means (i) the Executive’s engagement in acts of embezzlement, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) the conviction of the Executive for having committed a felony; (iii) a breach by the Executive of the Executive’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities to the Company having the potential to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, prospects or reputation; or (iv) the repeated failure of the Executive to perform duties and responsibilities as an 

employee of the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board (except in the case of death or disability) that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after a written demand for substantial performance has been delivered to the Executive by the Board.  The determination of Cause shall be made by the Board.
(d)    “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)    any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or
(ii)    the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or
(iii)    the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least sixty percent (60%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation.
(iv)    a change in the composition of the Board, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of those directors whose election or nomination was not in connection with any transaction described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) or in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated within the nine months prior to a Change in Control, and the Executive 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”), then for all purposes of this Agreement, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control.
(e)    “Company” means Trimble Navigation Limited, a California corporation.
(f)    “Date of Termination” means the date on which the Executive’s employment by the Company terminates.
(g)    “Good Reason” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events after a Change in Control:
(i)    the assignment to the Executive of any duties (including a diminution of duties) inconsistent in any adverse respect with the Executive’s position(s), duties, responsibilities or status with the Company immediately prior to such Change in Control;

2

(ii)    an adverse change in the Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices with the Company as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control;
(iii)    any removal or involuntary termination of the Executive from the Company otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or any failure to re-elect the Executive to any position with the Company held by the Executive immediately prior to such Change in Control;
(iv)    a reduction by the Company in the Executive’s rate of annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter;
(v)    any requirement of the Company that the Executive (A) be based anywhere more than twenty-five (25) miles from the facility where the Executive is located at the time of the Change in Control or (B) travel on Company business to an extent substantially more burdensome than the travel obligations of the Executive immediately prior to such Change in Control;
(vi)    the failure of the Company to (A) continue in effect any compensation plan in which the Executive is participating immediately prior to such Change in Control, or the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or reduce the Executive’s benefits under any such plan (including the failure to provide the Executive with a level of discretionary incentive award grants consistent with the past practice of the Company in granting such awards to the Executive during the three-Year period immediately preceding the Change in Control), (B) provide the Executive and the Executive’s dependents with welfare benefits (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive immediately prior to such Change in Control, (C) provide fringe benefits in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive immediately prior to such Change in Control, or (D) provide the Executive with paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect for the Executive immediately prior to such Change in Control, unless in the case of any violation of (A), (B) or (C) above, the Executive is permitted to participate in other plans, programs or arrangements which provide the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s dependents) with no less favorable benefits at no greater cost to the Executive;
(vii)     the Executive no longer being the CFO of the Company or its successor; or
(viii)    the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption agreement from any successor as contemplated in Section 10(b) hereof.
Any event or condition described in Sections 1(g)(i) through (vi) which occurs prior to a Change in Control, but was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, shall constitute Good Reason following a Change in Control for 

    

purposes of this Agreement (as if a Change in Control had occurred immediately prior to the occurrence of such event or condition) notwithstanding that it occurred prior to the Change in Control.
For purposes of this Agreement, any good faith determination of Good Reason made by the Executive shall be conclusive; provided, however, that an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action taken in good faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by an Executive shall not constitute Good Reason.  The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to or a waiver of rights with respect to any event or condition constituting Good Reason. The Executive must provide notice of termination within ninety (90) days of his knowledge of an event or condition constituting Good Reason hereunder or such event shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder. A transaction which results in the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity shall not in and of itself be treated as Good Reason unless and until one of the events or conditions set forth in Sections 1(g)(i) through (vii) occurs.
(h)    “Nonqualifying Termination” means a termination of the Executive’s employment (i) by the Company for Cause, (ii) by the Executive for any reason other than Good Reason, (iii) as a result of the Executive’s death, or (iv) by the Company due to the Executive’s absence from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis for at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
(i)    “Projected Bonus Amount” means, with respect to any Year, the greater of (i) the Executive’s Target Bonus Amount for such Year; or (ii) to the extent calculable after at least one calendar quarter of the Year, the Bonus the Executive would have earned in the Year in which the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs had the Company’s financial performance through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the Date of Termination continued throughout said Year (the “Earned Bonus Amount”).
(j)    “Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of such corporation or other entity.
(k)    “Target Bonus Amount” means, with respect to any Year, the Participant’s target Bonus for such Year based upon the Company’s forecasted operational plan.
(l)    “Termination Period” means the period of time beginning with a Change in Control and ending one (1) year following such Change in Control.
(m)    “Year” means the fiscal year of the Company.
2.    Acceleration of Options Upon Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control each of the Executive’s outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock units granted under any of the Company’s stock option or incentive plans shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable with respect to the total number of shares covered by all such outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock units.
3.    Termination of Employment.  
(a)    If during the Termination Period the employment of the Executive shall terminate, other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then the Company shall pay to the Executive, within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, as compensation for services rendered to the Company:

    

(i)    a lump-sum cash amount equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s base salary from the Company and its Subsidiaries through the Date of Termination and any outstanding Bonus for which payment is due and owing at such time, (B) any accrued vacation pay, and (C) to the extent not provided under the Company’s Bonus plans, a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s Projected Bonus Amount for the Year in which the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid; plus
(ii)    a lump-sum cash amount equal to the sum of (A) twelve (12) months of base salary calculated using the Executive’s highest monthly rate of base salary during the 12-month period immediately preceding the Date of Termination, or if greater, immediately preceding the Change in Control and (B) the highest of (x) the Executive’s average Bonus (annualized for any partial Years of employment) earned during the 3-Year period immediately preceding the Year in which the Date of Termination occurs (or shorter annualized period if the Executive had not been employed for the full three-Year period), (y) the Executive’s Target Bonus Amount for the Year in which the Change in Control occurs and (z) the Executive’s Target Bonus Amount for the Year in which the Date of Termination occurs; provided, that any amount paid pursuant to this Section 3(a)(ii) shall offset an equal amount of any severance relating to salary or bonus continuation to be received by the Executive upon termination of employment of the Executive under any severance plan, policy, or arrangement of the Company.
(b)    If during the Termination Period, the employment of the Executive shall terminate, other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, for a period of one (1) year commencing on the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to keep in full force and effect (or otherwise provide) all policies of medical, dental, accident, disability and life insurance with respect to the Executive and his dependents with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and otherwise to the same extent (and on the same after-tax basis), as such policies shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, immediately prior to the Change in Control), and the Company and the Executive shall share the costs of the continuation of such insurance coverage in the same proportion as such costs were shared immediately prior to the Date of Termination.
(c)    If during the Termination Period, the employment of the Executive shall terminate, other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, each of the Executive’s outstanding stock options granted under any of the Company’s stock option or incentive plans shall be exercisable by the Executive until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the term of the option or (B) one (1) year following the Date of Termination.
(d)    If during the Termination Period the employment of the Executive shall terminate by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiary or estate) such payments and provide to the Executive such benefits, if any, as the Company customarily pays or provides to executives of the Company upon termination of employment and in any event in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.
(e)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no amount payable under Section 3(a)(ii) hereof that is non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company, shall be paid unless the Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “Separation from Service”), and except as otherwise provided below with respect to an Anticipatory Termination, shall 

    

instead be paid, with interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code (“Interest”),] to the Executive on the first business day that is after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service,” or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delayed Payment Date”), if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination (a “Specified Employee”)), and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto).
(f)    Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, any amount payable under Section 3(a)(ii) hereof in connection with an Anticipatory Termination that is non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid as follows: (A) if the Change in Control is a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (1) except as provided in clause (A)(2), on the date of such Change in Control, or (2) if the Executive is a Specified Employee and the Delayed Payment Date is later than the date of the Change in Control, on the Delayed Payment Date, and (B) if such Change in Control is not a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, on the first business day following the date that is nine months following the date of the Anticipatory Termination to the extent payment at such time is not a violation of Section 409A of the Code.  In the event of an Anticipatory Termination, any payment or benefit that is not non-qualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that is payable under this Agreement shall be paid or shall commence being provided on the date of the Change in Control.  Interest with respect to the period, if any, from the date of the Change in Control through the actual date of payment shall be paid on any delayed cash amounts.
4.    Golden Parachute.  In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement (together with any other benefits or amounts) otherwise constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 4 be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either: (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, all determinations required to be made under this Section 4, including the manner and amount of any reduction in the Executive’s benefits under this Agreement, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by Ernst & Young LLP (the “Consulting Firm”). In the event that the Consulting Firm (or any affiliate thereof) is unable or unwilling to act, the Executive may appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Consulting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Consulting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement requested by the Consulting Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4, the Consulting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Consulting Firm such information and documents as the Consulting Firm may reasonably request to make a determination under this Section 4.

    

5.    Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from all payments due to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) hereunder all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, the Company is required to withhold therefrom.
6.    Reimbursement of Expenses.  If any contest or dispute shall arise under this Agreement involving termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or involving the failure or refusal of the Company to perform fully in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Executive, on a current basis, for all legal fees and expenses, if any, incurred by the Executive in connection with such contest or dispute (regardless of the result thereof), together with interest in an amount equal to the prime rate of Bank of America from time to time in effect, but in no event higher than the maximum legal rate permissible under applicable law, such interest to accrue from the date the Company receives the Executive’s statement for such fees and expenses through the date of payment thereof; provided, however, that all such reimbursements must be made no later than the last day of the third calendar year that begins after the Date of Termination.
7.    Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be effective on the date hereof and shall continue until the first to occur of (i) the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company prior to a Change in Control (except as otherwise provided hereunder), (ii) a Nonqualifying Termination, or (iii) the termination of the Executive’s employment following the Termination Period.
8.    Scope of Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to entitle the Executive to continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and if the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate prior to a Change in Control, the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided hereunder); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any termination of the Executive’s employment following a Change in Control shall be subject to all of the benefit and payment provisions of this Agreement.
9.    Compensation Recoupment.  Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), the benefits provided for in this Agreement shall not be deemed fully earned or vested, even if paid or distributed to Executive, if the amount payable under Section 3(a)(ii) or any portion thereof is deemed incentive compensation and subject to recovery, or “clawback” by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or by any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are listed (the “Rules”).  In addition, Executive hereby acknowledges that this Agreement may be amended as necessary and/or shall be subject to any recoupment policies adopted by the Company to comply with the requirements and/or limitations under the Act and the Rules, or any other federal or stock exchange requirements,   including by expressly permitting (or, if applicable, requiring) the Company to revoke, recover and/or clawback the benefits provided herein.

10.    Obligations of the Executive.  The Executive agrees that if a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive shall not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company without Good Reason during the 90-day period immediately following a Change in Control.
11.    Successors’ Binding Obligation.  
This Agreement shall not be terminated by any merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization of the Company (a “Company Change”) or transfer of assets. In the event of any Company Change or transfer of assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the surviving or resulting corporation or any person or entity to which the assets of the Company are transferred.

    

The Company agrees that concurrently with any Company Change or transfer of assets, it will cause any successor or transferee unconditionally to assume by written instrument delivered to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such Company Change or transfer of assets that results in a Change in Control shall constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall entitle the Executive to compensation and other benefits from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled hereunder if the Executive’s employment were terminated following a Change in Control other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such Company Change or transfer of assets becomes effective shall be deemed the date Good Reason occurs, and the Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason on or following such date.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amounts would be payable to the Executive hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons appointed in writing by the Executive to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Executive’s estate.
12.    Notice.  
(a)    For purposes of this Agreement, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to the Executive:
Francois Delepine
22229 Hammond Way
Cupertino, California 95104

If to the Company:

Trimble Navigation Limited
935 Stewart Drive
Sunnyvale, California 94085
Attention: General Counsel
or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. Alternatively, notice may be deemed to have been delivered when sent by facsimile to a location provided by the other party hereto.
(b)    A written notice of the Executive’s Date of Termination by the Company or the Executive, as the case may be, to the other, shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the Date of Termination date (which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the 

    

Executive or the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
13.    Full Settlement; No Mitigation.  The Company’s obligation to make any payments provided for by this Agreement to the Executive and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
14.    Employment with Subsidiaries.  Employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement shall include employment with any Subsidiary.
15.    Governing Law; Validity.  The interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
16.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
17.    Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified or waived unless such modification or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Failure by the Executive or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the rights of, and benefits payable to, the Executive, his estate or his beneficiaries pursuant to this Agreement are in addition to any rights of, or benefits payable to, the Executive, his estate or his beneficiaries under any other employee benefit plan or compensation program of the Company.

    

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and the Executive has executed this Agreement as of the day and year set forth below.

3.    Rights of Executive upon Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.

(a)    Provided the Executive has executed and delivered the release described in Section 5 below and such release has become effective and irrevocable, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment during the Term other than for Cause or the Executive terminates his employment during the term for Good Reason then (i) the Company shall, no later than 65 days following the Date of Termination, 

pay the Executive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Severance Compensation and (ii) the Company shall provide accelerated vesting for a fraction of the total shares subject to Executive’s Initial Equity Award with the denominator of such fraction being thirty-six (36) and the numerator of such fraction being equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of (i) the number of months (including partial months) since the last vesting cliff occurred with respect to an applicable Initial Equity Award plus (ii) twelve (12) and (b) the number of months (including partial months) between the last vesting cliff and the third vesting cliff date of such applicable Initial Equity Award, with such accelerated vesting to occur as of the Executive’s Date of Termination (provided, that all other outstanding equity or equity-based awards held by the Executive shall continue to be governed by their terms).  

(b)    In the event the Executive’s termination of employment gives rise to payments and benefits under that certain Change in Control Severance Agreement, by and between the Company and the Executive dated as of the date hereof as amended from time to time, Executive shall not be eligible to receive any payments or benefits under this Agreement.

(c)    In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement (together with any other benefits or amounts) otherwise constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 3(c) be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such  benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, result in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 499 of the Code.  Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, all determinations required to be made under this Section 3(c), including the manner and amount of any reduction in the Executive’s benefits under this Agreement, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by Ernst & Young LLP (the “Consulting Firm”).  In the event that the Consulting Firm (or any affiliate thereof) is unable or unwilling to act, the Executive may appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which account firm shall then be referred to as the Consulting Firm hereunder).  All fees and expenses of the Consulting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement requested by the Consulting Firm in connection with the performance of services hereunder.  For the purposes of making the calculations required under this Section 3(c), the Consulting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Consulting Firm such information and documents as the Consulting Firm may reasonably request to make a determination under this Section 3(c).

4.    Notice. 

(a)     For purposes of this Agreement, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five (5) days after deposit in the United States Mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

If to the Executive:

Francois Delepine        
22229 Hammond Way        
Cupertino, California  95014    

If to the Company: 
Trimble Navigation Limited 
935 Stewart Drive
Sunnyvale, California 94085
Attention: General Counsel

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.  Alternatively, notice may be deemed to have been delivered when sent by facsimile to a location provided by the other party hereto.

(b)    A written notice of the Executive’s Date of Termination by the Company to the Executive shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the Date of Termination (which, except in the case of termination for Cause, shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.  

5.    Release.  In consideration for the benefits and payments provided for under Section 3(a) of this Agreement, unless such requirement is waived by the Board in its sole discretion, the Executive agrees to execute and not revoke within the time provided for by the Company a release acceptable to the Company (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) releasing the Company, its Subsidiaries, stockholders, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims and from any and all causes of action of any kind, including but not limited to all claims or causes of action arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of such employment (the “Release”).  The Executive shall execute such Release within the time period provided for by the Company.  If the Release has not become effective and irrevocable prior to the 65th day following the Date of Termination (or such earlier date specified in the Release), Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits and payments pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Agreement.  

6.    Withholding Taxes.    The Company may withhold from all payments due to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) hereunder all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, the Company is required to withhold therefrom. 

7.    Scope of Agreement.    Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall create any right or duty on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the employment of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Executive may, at any time during his employment with the Company upon the giving of 30 days prior written notice, terminate his employment.  If this Agreement or the employment of the Executive is terminated under circumstances in which the Executive is not entitled to any Severance Compensation, neither the Executive nor the Company shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.

8.    Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined and applied in Section 409A of the Code) as of the Date of Termination, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions under Section 409A of the Code) and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments under this Agreement until the earlier of (a) the first day following the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination, or (b) the Executive’s date of death.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A of the Code) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment.”  In addition, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, payments shall be deemed exempt from Section 409A of the Code to the full extent possible under the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and (with respect to amounts paid no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Date of Termination) the “two-years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which are hereby incorporated by reference.

9.    Compensation Recoupment.  Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), the Severance Compensation shall not be deemed fully earned or vested, even if paid or distributed to Executive, if the Severance Compensation or any portion thereof is deemed incentive compensation and subject to recovery, or “clawback” by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or by any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are listed (the “Rules”).  In addition, Executive hereby acknowledges that this Agreement may be amended as necessary and/or shall be subject to any recoupment policies adopted by the Company to comply with the requirements and/or limitations under the Act and the Rules, or any other federal or stock exchange requirements,   including by expressly permitting (or, if applicable, requiring) the Company to revoke, recover and/or clawback the Severance Compensation.

10.    Successors’ Binding Obligation. 
 
(a) This Agreement shall not be terminated by any merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization of the Company (a “Company Change”) or transfer of assets. In the event of any Company change or transfer of assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the surviving or resulting corporation or any person or entity to which the assets of the Company are transferred. 
 
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amounts would be payable to the Executive hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons appointed in writing by the Executive to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Executive’s estate. 

11.    Employment with Subsidiaries. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement shall include employment with any Subsidiary. 
 
12.    Governing Law; Validity. The interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.    Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or waived unless such modification or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Failure by the Executive or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the rights of, and benefits payable to, the Executive, his estate or his beneficiaries pursuant to this Agreement are in addition to any rights of, or benefits payable to, the Executive, his estate or his beneficiaries under any other employee benefit plan or compensation program of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and the Executive has executed this Agreement as of the day and year set forth below.

EXHIBIT A

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

This Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims (hereinafter “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Francois Delepine (hereinafter “Employee”) and Trimble Navigation Limited (hereinafter the “Company”).  In consideration of the covenants set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and to avoid unnecessary litigation, the parties agree to settle the disputes between them as follows:
1.    The parties stipulate that:
		
	a.
	Employee was employed by the Company through [Date].

		
	b.
	Employee’s employment with the Company is being terminated [by the Company without Cause] [by the Employee with Good Reason] (as defined in that certain Executive Severance Agreement (the “Severance Agreement”) by and between Employee and the Company).

		
	c.
	Employee has not filed, and has not assisted any third party in filing, any action (including but not limited to civil and administrative claims and actions) against the Company, or any of its past or present officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, predecessors, successors, representatives, suppliers, or affiliated companies (hereinafter referred to collectively as “the Releasees”).

		
	d.
	Employee represents and agrees that Employee has been paid all compensation earned and due to Employee as of Employee’s last day of work including, but not limited to, all accrued but unused vacation/PTO.

		
	e.
	Employee and the Company each desire to compromise, settle, discharge and release in full any and all rights, claims and actions whatsoever that Employee has or may have against the Releasees arising out of Employee’s employment by the Company and/or the termination of Employee’s employment, through action of law, statute, or contract, up to and including the date of this Agreement.

		
	2.
	Upon Employee’s execution of this Agreement, Employee shall deliver an original signed copy of the Agreement to the Company, along with any and all property owned by the Company that is within Employee’s possession, including, but not limited to, computers, technical resources, programs, computer files and paperwork.  Employee also agrees that Employee will provide any and all lists of passwords and access information to the Company, including copies, and that he or she will retain none of the same.

		
	3.
	a.    No later than 65 days following the Date of Termination (as defined in the Severance Agreement), provided that Employee has completed the actions required in Paragraph 2, but not before the expiration of Employee’s seven-day revocation period, the Company promises to pay the consideration, less deductions required by law, and cause the accelerated vesting contemplated under Section 3 of the Severance Agreement.

		
	b.
	The consideration provided in this Paragraph 3 to Employee is given in accordance with the following understanding and agreement of the parties:

		
	(i)
	The parties agree that the consideration paid to Employee and accelerated vesting of Executive’s Initial Equity Award (as defined in the Severance Agreement) under this Paragraph 3 shall constitute full and complete settlement of all claims of whatever kind that have been or could be made by Employee against any of the Releasees, without regard to whether such claims are based on an alleged breach of an obligation or duty arising from contract, tort, or statute.

		
	(ii)
	Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Releasees have made no representations to Employee regarding the tax consequences of any consideration received by Employee pursuant to this Agreement.  Employee agrees to pay federal and state taxes, if any, that are required by law to be paid by Employee with respect to this settlement.  Employee further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Releasees harmless from any claims, demands, judgments or recoveries by any governmental entity against the Releasees for any amounts claimed due on account of this Agreement based on or because of actions or omissions by Employee or pursuant to claims made under any federal or state tax laws based on or because of actions or omissions by Employee, and any costs, expenses or damages sustained by the Releasees by reason of any such claims, including any amounts paid by the Releasees as taxes, attorneys’ fees, deficiencies, levies, assessments, fines, penalties, interest or otherwise.

		
	(iii)
	Employee agrees that the consideration delivered under this Paragraph 3 shall constitute the entire amount of consideration provided to Employee under this Agreement and that Employee will not seek any further compensation for any other claimed damage, cost or attorneys’ fees in connection with the matters encompassed by this Agreement.  This consideration paid by the Company is solely consideration for this Agreement to which Employee is not otherwise entitled.

		
	4. 
	In consideration for the Company’s promise to deliver the consideration described above, Employee agrees to and hereby does irrevocably waive and release the Releasees from any and all claims, charges, demands, obligations, damages, liabilities or causes of action of any kind whatsoever (hereinafter “claims”), whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee has or may have against them by reason of any act, omission, transaction or event occurring up to and including the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any act, omission, transaction or event related to or arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company or termination of that employment, without regard to whether such claims are based on alleged breach of an obligation or duty arising in contract or tort, any alleged unlawful act (under the California Labor Code, the California Business & Professions Code, the California Constitution, local ordinances, or other state or federal statutes), or any other claim regardless of the forum in which it might be brought.  It is expressly understood and agreed by Employee that this waiver and release includes, but is not limited to, any and all rights or claims that arise under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, or any state or local laws including but not limited to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act 

and the California Family Rights Act; as well as any and all claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, up to the effective date of this Agreement but not thereafter.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from filing a charge or complaint, including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or participating in any investigation or proceeding by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
		
	5.
	Employee understands and agrees that Employee’s release of claims described in this Agreement includes (but is not limited to) a waiver of Employee’s rights and claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA).  Employee understands and agrees that Employee has the right not to execute this Agreement without first having considered it for a full twenty-one (21) days from receipt of the Agreement.  Employee agrees that Employee may sign this Agreement without waiting the full twenty-one (21) days and that, if Employee has done so, Employee’s decision to do so has been knowing and voluntary, and not induced through fraud, misrepresentation, a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day period, or the provision of different terms to employees who sign any release prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day period.  Employee did not execute this Agreement without first being advised in writing to consult an attorney of Employee’s choice.  Employee further understands and agrees that Employee:

		
	a.
	Has had the full aforementioned twenty-one (21) day period within which to consider this Agreement before executing it and, if Employee has waived the full period, the waiver has been knowing and voluntary as described above; 

		
	b.
	Has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement;

		
	c.
	Has at all times during the course of negotiation and execution of this Agreement been advised by an attorney or has had adequate opportunity to consult counsel of Employee’s choice concerning the terms of this Agreement.  Employee was advised and is hereby advised in writing to consult with counsel of Employee’s choice prior to entering into this Agreement;

		
	d.
	Is, through this Agreement, releasing the Releasees from any and all claims that Employee has or may have against them;

		
	e.
	Knowingly and voluntarily agrees to all of the terms set forth in this Agreement;

		
	f.
	Knowingly and voluntarily intends to be legally bound by the same;

		
	g.
	Has a full seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement and has been and is hereby advised in writing that this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired; and

		
	h.
	Understands that rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed are not waived.

		
	6.
	This Agreement is a full and final compromise and settlement and a general release by Employee that includes all unknown and unanticipated damages or injuries, to property or person, by reason of any act, omission, transaction or event occurring up to and including 

the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any act, omission, transaction or event related to or arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company or termination of that employment.  Employee waives all rights or benefits that Employee may now or in the future have under the terms of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which Employee has had an opportunity to review with counsel of Employee’s choice and which reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

This waiver is not a mere recital, but is a known waiver of rights and benefits.  This is a bargained-for provision of this Agreement and is further consideration for the covenants and conditions contained herein.
		
	7.
	Employee agrees to keep the terms and the amount of this Agreement completely confidential and agrees that Employee will not hereafter disclose any information concerning this Agreement to anyone, including, but not limited to, any past, present or prospective clients, employees, shareholders, agents, suppliers or competitors of the Company.  The only exceptions to the foregoing sentence shall be disclosure to Employee’s legal and tax advisers as is necessary or disclosure as may be specifically required by federal, state or local administrative or judicial proceedings or to implement this Agreement.  Under no circumstances, except as permitted herein, is Employee to mention the amount of any consideration provided pursuant to this Agreement.  Employee further agrees to condition any disclosure concerning the terms or amount of this Agreement that is permitted hereunder upon an agreement by the recipient not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone and to respond to inquiries the parties’ dispute in the same way that Employee and the Company must respond hereunder, except for disclosures required by federal, state or local law or regulation.  If Employee or the Company receives any inquiry about the controversy between them, each agrees to state only that (1) Employee is no longer employed with the Company, and (2) the matter is confidential and cannot be discussed, or words to virtually the identical effect.

		
	8.
	Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee has had access to and/or made use of certain confidential information relating to the business activities of the Company.  Such confidential information includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s practices and processes in managing its human resources such as recruiting, retention, compensation and training; the Company’s business strategies including marketing and distribution; financial results; pricing data; key persons to contact with regard to customer accounts and customer needs; market surveys and research data; and contractual agreements between the Company and customers, distributors and other persons or entities, compilations of information and records that are owned by the Company and are regularly used in the operation of the Company’s business and other information that is kept confidential by the Company.  

		
	a.
	Employee agrees that Employee will continue to abide by any written agreements concerning the use and protection of confidential and proprietary information, which 

are incorporated herein by reference, and that this Agreement does not extinguish any such written agreements. Employee agrees that Employee will not disclose any such confidential information, directly or indirectly, or use any of it in any way whatsoever.  
		
	b.
	Employee further represents and agrees that all files, computer programs, records, documents, lists, specifications, and similar items relating to the business activities of the Company, including any and all copies, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession, custody or control, are property of the Company and have been or will be returned immediately by Employee to the Company and that Employee will not remove from the premises of the Company any such property or information.

		
	9.
	Employee expressly agrees that Employee will bring no new or further proceedings against the Company before any court or administrative tribunal or any other forum whatsoever by reason of any claim, liability or cause of action, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of Employee’s employment or termination of that employment, or any other act, omission or transaction by the Company, occurring up to and including the effective date of this Agreement.

		
	10.
	This Agreement and compliance with this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as an admission by the Company or the Releasees of any wrongdoing or liability of any kind, or an admission of any violation of the rights of Employee, or any person, or violation of any order, law, statute, duty or contract whatsoever, or that Employee was or is entitled to any amounts or relief demanded by him.

		
	11.
	Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney’s fees associated with the process leading to this Agreement.

		
	12.
	Should any part of this Agreement be declared or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining parts shall not be affected thereby, and said illegal, invalid or unenforceable part shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.

		
	13.
	Each party acknowledges that it has had an adequate opportunity to review the terms of this Agreement with counsel.  The parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of California, excluding its choice of law rules.  The parties further agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or against either party.

		
	14.
	Employee agrees that in executing this Agreement Employee does not rely and has not relied on any representation or statement made other than those specifically set forth in this written Agreement.  The parties agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and the Company and (except as provided in Paragraph 8.a) supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, between them and that any other agreement between the parties shall be, and hereby is, deemed terminated.

		
	15.
	This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and, as applicable, upon their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors, and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of said parties and each of them and to their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors, and assigns.  Employee expressly warrants that Employee has not 

transferred to any person or entity any rights, causes of action, or claims released by this Agreement.
		
	16.
	This Agreement is offered by the Company on [Date] and shall remain available, unless otherwise rejected by the Employee or revoked by the Company, until no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time (2:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on [Date], which is not less than twenty-one (21) days following the date this Agreement is offered.  Employee may accept the offer only by returning an executed copy of this Agreement to the Company and by completing the other conditions specified in Paragraph 2 above.  If the Agreement is not accepted by Employee before the date and time specified, the offer shall be deemed rejected and shall be revoked by the Company.

		
	17.
	The parties, having read all of the foregoing, having been advised by or having had adequate opportunity to consult with counsel, and having understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims, do hereby voluntarily execute said Agreement by affixing their signatures hereto.

EZCORP, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
Standard Term and Conditions
The Award described below is made under the EZCORP, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and is governed by the terms of the Plan in addition to the terms and conditions stated in the Award Agreement referred to below.  A copy of the Plan is available from the Company’s Stock Plan Administration Department.  Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings described in the Plan.
The following terms and conditions apply to the award of Restricted Stock Units made on or about February 15, 2014 by EZCORP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.  The recipient of an Award, the date of the Award and the number of Units awarded are set forth in an Award Summary that has been duly executed and issued by the Company and appropriately acknowledged and accepted by the recipient (the “Award Summary”).  That Award Summary, together with these term and conditions, shall constitute the Award Agreement with regard to the Award.  As used herein, the term “you” (and derivatives thereof) refers to the recipient of the Award, and the term “Units” refers to the Restricted Stock Units that are subject to the Award.
		
	1.
	General - As a material inducement to the Company to make this Award, you agree that the following terms and conditions shall apply to this Award, that you are not otherwise entitled to this Award, that the Company is providing this Award in consideration for your promises and agreements below and that the Company would not grant this Award absent those promises and agreements.

Each Unit awarded to you represents your right to receive one share of Stock on the applicable vesting date, subject to the terms and conditions described herein.
		
	2.
	Vesting - Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Units will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the applicable Award Summary.  Notwithstanding that Vesting Schedule, if your Employment is terminated by reason of your death or Permanent Disability, all Units will vest immediately and automatically upon such termination of Employment.

		
	3.
	Transfer Restrictions and Expiration - You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Unit.  You may sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the underlying share of Stock only after you have received that share upon vesting of related Unit (if the Unit is settled in Stock).

If your Employment (as defined below) terminates for any reason other than your death or Permanent Disability, any Unit that has not vested will expire at that time, and your right to receive any consideration for such Unit (whether Stock or cash) will terminate, without any payment of consideration by the Company.
As used herein, the term “Employment” means your regular full-time or part-time employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the term “Employer” means the Company (if you are employed by the Company) or the Subsidiary of the Company that employs you.
		
	4.
	Rights as a Stockholder - You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Units awarded pursuant to this Award (including rights to dividends or dividend equivalent payments and rights to vote) until the Units have vested and the Stock underlying those Units has been actually been issued and registered in your name on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.

		
	5.
	Settlement - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to Paragraph 6 below, as soon as practicable after the date on which the Units have vested, the Company, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, shall, for each vested Unit, either (a) issue to you a share of Stock or (b) deliver to you an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the vesting date.    

To the extent that the Company chooses to settle the Units in Stock, the Company will issue the underlying Stock in your name in the form of an entry into a share memo account with the Company’s stock transfer agent. At any time thereafter, you (or, in the case of your death or Permanent Disability, your legal representatives) shall have the right to have such Stock certificated and transferred in accordance with the transfer agent’s procedures generally applicable to all stockholders.

	6.
	Agreement With Respect to Taxes - You must pay any taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company or your Employer as a result of the granting or settlement of this Award.  You may pay such amounts in cash or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company or your Employer for the payment of such amounts.  You agree that the Company and your Employer, at their sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall have the right to (a) demand that you pay such amounts in cash, (b) deduct such amounts from any payments of any kind otherwise due to you or (c) withhold or deduct from Stock or cash to which you would otherwise be entitled the number of shares of Stock, or amount of cash, having an aggregate Fair Market Value at that time equal to the amount you owe.  If the Units are settled in Stock and the Company and your Employer, in their sole discretion, determine that your obligations will not be satisfied under the methods described in this Paragraph, you hereby authorize the Company (or its agent) to sell a portion of the Stock that is issued in satisfaction of the Units, which the Company determines as having at least the market value sufficient to meet your obligations (plus additional shares to account for rounding and market fluctuations), and use the net proceeds of such sale to satisfy your obligations.  Any such shares may be sold as part of a block trade for the collective benefit of you and other participants, with all such participants receiving an average price.

		
	7.
	Leaves of Absence - If you take a leave of absence from active Employment that has been approved by your Employer or is one to which you are legally entitled regardless of such approval, the following provisions will apply:

		
	(a)
	Vesting During Leave - Notwithstanding the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Summary, no Units will vest during a leave of absence lasting more than 30 days, unless such leave of absence is an approved medical, FMLA or military leave.  The vesting that would have otherwise occurred during a leave of absence lasting more than 30 days (other than an approved medical, FMLA or military leave) will be deferred by the number of days you are on leave of absence.  For example, if Units are scheduled to vest on October 1, 2014 and you take a 60-day leave of absence, the vesting will be deferred to November 30, 2014.

		
	(b)
	Effect of Termination During Leave - If your Employment is terminated while you are on a leave of absence, the Units will vest or expire in accordance with the terms stated in Paragraphs 2 and 3.

		
	8.
	Return of Share or Cash Value - By accepting this Award, you agree that if the Company determines that you engaged in “Conduct Detrimental to the Company” (as defined below) during your Employment or during the one-year period following the termination of your Employment, you shall be required, upon demand, to return to the Company, in the form of a cash payment, the “Returnable Value.”  For this purpose, “Returnable Value” means the total Fair Market Value of all Stock that was issued to you, or the total amount of cash that was delivered to you, pursuant to this Award (including any Stock that was withheld or sold, or any cash that was withheld, to satisfy your obligations under Paragraph 6), determined as of the date such Stock was issued, or such cash was delivered, to you.  The payment of the Returnable Value shall be in addition to and separate from any other relief or remedies available to the Company due to your Conduct Detrimental to the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, you will be considered to have engaged in “Conduct Detrimental to the Company” if (a) you engage in serious misconduct (whether or not such serious misconduct is discovered by the Company prior to the termination of your Employment) or (b) you violate the terms of the Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement between you and the Company, the terms and provisions of which you hereby acknowledge and reaffirm.
		
	9.
	Trading Restrictions - The Company may establish periods from time to time during which your ability to engage in transactions involving the Stock is subject to specified restrictions (“Restricted Periods”).  If the Units vest during a Restricted Period and are settled in Stock, then you may not be able to sell such Stock (either to satisfy tax withholding obligations or otherwise) unless you have made irrevocable arrangements to do so outside of any Restricted Period.  You may be subject to a Restricted Period for any reason that the Company determines appropriate, including Restricted Periods generally applicable to employees or groups of employees or Restricted Periods applicable to you during an investigation of allegations of misconduct or Conduct Detrimental to the Company by you.

	12.
	Special Acknowledgments - By accepting this Award, you expressly acknowledge the following:

		
	•
	Unless you have a written employment agreement, your Employment is “at will,” and this Award does not alter that relationship in any way and does not confer upon you any right to expectation of employment by, or to continue in the employment of, your Employer.  If you have a written employment agreement, this Award shall not be deemed to in any manner enlarge your rights, or diminish your Employer’s rights, under such employment agreement.

		
	•
	The Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

		
	•
	This Award is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards.

		
	•
	All determinations with respect to future Awards, if any, including the award date, the nature and size of the Award and the vesting dates, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

		
	•
	Your participation in the Plan, and your acceptance of this Award, is entirely voluntary.

		
	•
	The value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation, is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and is not to be used for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and you waive any claim on such basis.

		
	•
	The grant of an equity-based interest in the Company (represented by this Award) gives rise to the Company’s need (on behalf of itself and its stockholders) to protect itself from Conduct Detrimental to the Company, and your promises and agreements described in Paragraph 8 are designed to protect the Company and its stockholders from Conduct Detrimental to the Company.

		
	•
	Vesting of Units ceases upon termination of Employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Award Agreement or the Plan.

		
	•
	The future value of the Units (and the Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Award) is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

		
	•
	You understand, acknowledge and agree that you will have no rights to compensation or damages related to this Award (or any Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Award) as a consequence of the termination of your Employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract.

		
	13.
	Data Privacy Consent - As a condition to Company’s making this Award, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this Paragraph.  You understand that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about you, including your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title, any ownership interests or directorships held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and details of all Awards made or canceled (collectively, “Data”).  You further understand that the Company and its Subsidiaries will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan, and that the Company and any of its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that these recipients may be located in the United States of America, the European Economic Area or elsewhere.  You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan or the subsequent holding of Stock on your behalf, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.  You understand that you may, at any time, view such Data or require any necessary amendments to it.

		
	14.
	Governing Law and Venue - This Award Agreement and the Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America.  The venue for any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be Travis County, Texas, United States of America, and the courts sitting exclusively in Travis County, Texas, United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate such disputes.  Each party hereby expressly consents to the exercise of jurisdiction by such courts and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to such laying of venue (including the defense of inconvenient forum).

		
	15.
	Effect of Invalid Provisions - If any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Award Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any Units that have not vested as described above will expire at that time and you agree to return to the Company the Returnable Value (as defined in Paragraph 8) with respect to this Award.
