    POLARIS
    INDUSTRIES INC.

    

 

    2003
    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

    

    As
    Amended and Restated on January 20, 2010

 

    1. Purpose.  The Polaris Industries
    Inc. 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the
    “Plan”) is hereby established to grant to non-employee
    directors of Polaris Industries Inc. (the “Company”)
    an opportunity to acquire Common Stock, par value $.01 per
    share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and to create
    an incentive for such persons to serve on the Board of Directors
    of the Company and to contribute to its long-term growth and
    profitability. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors
    of the Company on January 23, 2003 and shall become
    effective on the date it is approved by the Company’s
    shareholders (the “Effective Date”).

 

    Masculine terms used herein may be read as feminine, singular
    terms as plural and plural terms as singular, as necessary to
    give effect to the Plan.

 

    2. Eligibility.  Each member of the
    Board of Directors of the Company who is not an officer or
    full-time salaried employee of the Company or one of its
    subsidiaries shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Each
    such person is referred to in this Plan as a
    “Participant.”

 

    3. Administration.  The Plan shall
    be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
    “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company.
    The Committee shall have the sole and absolute power, authority
    and discretion to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and
    rescind rules and regulations to further the purposes of the
    Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary for the
    administration of the Plan. All such actions by the Committee
    shall be final and binding. To the extent permitted by law,
    members of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless
    by the Company with respect to any loss, cost, liability or
    expense that may be reasonably incurred in connection with any
    claim, action, suit or proceeding which arises by reason of any
    act or omission under the Plan so long as such act or omission
    is taken in good faith and within the scope of the authority
    delegated herein.

 

    4. Common Stock Subject to
    Plan.  There shall be reserved for issue upon
    the exercise of options granted under the Plan
    100,000 shares of Common Stock. The number and kind of
    shares available for issuance under the Plan are subject to
    adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 8
    hereof. If any stock option shall cease to be exercisable in
    whole or in part for any reason, the shares of Common Stock
    which were covered by such stock option but as to which the
    stock option had not been exercised shall again be available
    under the Plan. Shares issuable under the Plan shall be made
    available from authorized and unissued or previously issued and
    outstanding shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company.

 

    5. Grants and Terms of
    Options.  Options granted under this Plan
    shall be non-qualified stock options, i.e. they shall not be
    intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the
    meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986, as amended. Each option granted under the Plan shall be
    evidenced by a stock option agreement between the person to whom
    such option is granted and the Company or such other
    documentation as the Committee shall deem appropriate. Such
    stock option agreement shall provide that the option is subject
    to the following terms and conditions and to such other terms
    and conditions not inconsistent therewith as the Committee may
    deem appropriate in each case:

 

    (a) Option Exercise Price.  The
    exercise price to be paid for each share of Common Stock upon
    the exercise of an option shall be 100% of the fair market value
    of the shares on the date the option is granted. As used in this
    Plan, the term “date the option is granted” means the
    date as of which the option is granted in accordance with
    Section 5(b). Fair market value of the shares shall mean,
    as of any applicable date, the closing price, regular way, of
    the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or if no such
    reported sale of the Common Stock shall have occurred on such
    date, on the next preceding date on which there was such a
    reported sale.

 

    (b) Annual Option Grants.  On the
    date of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company
    (“Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective
    Date, each Participant who is first elected at such meeting or
    who is continuing as a director after such meeting shall receive
    an option grant for 2,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

    (c) Discretionary Grants.  In
    addition to the automatic annual grants of options provided for
    in subsection (b) above, the Committee shall have the
    discretion, in special circumstances as determined by the
    Committee, to grant

 

    options to Participants upon the terms and conditions of this
    Plan. The maximum number of options that can be granted to any
    Participant in any single discretionary grant shall not exceed
    20,000 shares.

 

    (d) Period of Option.  Options
    granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from
    the date of grant; provided, however, that, in the event of the
    termination of the Participant’s service on the Board of
    Directors (“Termination of Service”), such term shall
    be determined in accordance with Section 7.

 

    (e) Vesting and Exercisability of
    Options.  Each option granted under this Plan
    shall become vested and exercisable as of the earliest to occur
    of (i) the Annual Meeting next following the Annual Meeting
    as of which such option was granted, (ii) a Change in
    Control (as defined below) or (iii) the termination of the
    Participant’s service on the Board of Directors at or after
    age sixty-five (65) or as a result of the term limits
    applicable to members of the Board of Directors of the Company
    (“Retirement”) or (iv) the termination of the
    Participant’s service on the Board of Directors prior to
    age sixty-five (65) if the Participant has served on the Board
    of Directors for a period of ten (10) years or more
    (“Early Retirement”). Options shall be exercisable
    following cessation of a Participant’s service on the Board
    of Directors only to the extent provided in Section 7. The
    term “Change in Control” means any of the events set
    forth below:

 

    (A) Any election has occurred of persons to the Board of
    Directors that causes at least one-half of the Board of
    Directors to consist of persons other than (x) persons who
    were members of the Board of Directors on January 23, 2003
    and (y) persons who were nominated for election by the
    Board of Directors as members of the Board of Directors at a
    time when more than one-half of the members of the Board
    consisted of persons who were members of the Board of Directors
    on January 23, 2003; provided, however, that any person
    nominated for election by the Board of Directors at a time when
    at least one-half of the members of the Board of Directors were
    persons described in clauses (x) and/or (y) or by
    persons who were themselves nominated by such Board of Directors
    shall, for this purpose, be deemed to have been nominated by a
    Board of Directors composed of persons described in clause (x)
    (persons described or deemed described in clauses (x)
    and/or (y) are referred to herein as “Incumbent
    Directors”); or

 

    (B) The acquisition in one or more transactions, other than
    from the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the
    meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of beneficial ownership
    (within the meaning of
    Rule 13d-3
    promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as
    amended) of a number of voting securities of the Company equal
    to or greater than 35% of the voting securities of the Company
    unless such acquisition has been approved by the Incumbent
    Directors as an acquisition not constituting a Change in Control
    for purposes hereof; or

 

    (C) Any of the following: (x) a liquidation or
    dissolution of the Company; (y) a reorganization, merger or
    consolidation of the Company unless, following such
    reorganization, merger or consolidation, (1) the Company is
    the surviving entity resulting from such reorganization, merger
    or consolidation or (2) at least one-half of the Board of
    Directors of the entity resulting from such reorganization,
    merger or consolidation consists of Incumbent Directors; or
    (z) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
    of the assets of the Company unless, following such sale or
    disposition, at least one-half of the Board of Directors of the
    transferee consists of Incumbent Directors.

 

    (f) Method of Exercise of
    Options.  Full payment for shares of Common
    Stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option shall be
    made at the time the option is exercised in whole or in part.
    Payment of the purchase price shall be made in cash or in such
    other form as the Committee may approve in the applicable award
    agreement, including, without limitation, payment in accordance
    with a cashless exercise program under which, if so instructed
    by the Participant, shares may be issued directed to the
    participant’s broker or dealer upon receipt of the purchase
    price in cash from the broker or dealer, or by the delivery to
    the Company by the Participant of shares of Common Stock that
    have been held by the participant for at least six months prior
    to exercise of the option, valued at the fair market value of
    such shares on the date of exercise. No shares of Common Stock
    shall be issued to the Participant until such payment has been
    made, and a Participant shall have none of the rights of a
    stockholder with respect to options held except to the extent
    such options have been exercised. The tax liability associated
    with the exercise of a stock option under this Plan shall,
    unless the Committee determines otherwise, be the sole
    responsibility of the Participant.

 

    6. Nontransferability.  Options
    granted pursuant to the Plan shall be nontransferable except by
    will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be
    exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him,
    and after his death, by his personal representative or by the
    person entitled thereto under his will or the laws of intestate
    succession.

 

    7. Termination of Service.  Upon
    termination of the Participant’s service on the Board of
    Directors for any reason, his rights to exercise options then
    held by him shall be only as follows:

 

    (a) If a Participant shall die (i) while a
    non-employee director of the Company or (ii) within the
    five (5) year period specified in Section 7(b) below
    or within the three (3) year period specified in
    Section 7(c) below or within the ninety (90) day
    period specified in Section 7(d) below, his or her
    non-vested options, if any, shall be forfeited, and his or her
    vested options may be exercised by the person or persons to whom
    the Participant’s rights under the option pass by will or
    applicable law or if no person has that right, by his executors
    or administrators, at any time, or from time to time, within one
    (1) year of the date of his death, but in no event later
    than the expiration date specified in Section 5(d).

 

    (b) If a Participant ceases to be a non-employee director
    of the Company by reason of Retirement, his or her options shall
    be deemed vested in full as of the Retirement date, and such
    vested options may be exercised at any time, or from time to
    time, within five (5) years of the date of such Retirement,
    but in no event later than the expiration date specified in
    Section 5(d).

 

    (c) If a Participant ceases to be a non-employee director
    of the Company by reason of Early Retirement, his or her options
    shall be deemed vested in full as of the Early Retirement date,
    and such vested options may be exercised at any time, or from
    time to time, within three (3) years of the date of such
    Early Retirement, but in no event later than the expiration date
    specified in Section 5(d).

 

    (d) If a Participant ceases to be a non-employee director
    of the Company for any reason other than those set forth in
    Sections 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) above, his or her non-vested
    options shall be forfeited, and his or her vested options may be
    exercised by the person or persons to whom the
    Participant’s rights under the option pass by will or
    applicable law or if no person has that right, by his executors
    or administrators, at any time, or from time to time, within
    ninety (90) days the date of such cessation of service, but
    in no event later than the expiration date specified in
    Section 5(d).

 

    8. Adjustment of Shares.  In the
    event of any subdivision or combination of the outstanding
    shares of Common Stock, stock dividend, recapitalization,
    reclassification of shares, sale, lease or transfer of
    substantially all of the assets of the Company, substantial
    distributions to stockholders, merger, consolidation or other
    corporate transactions which would result in a substantial
    dilution or enlargement of the rights or economic benefits
    inuring to Participants hereunder, the Committee shall make such
    equitable adjustments as it may deem appropriate in the Plan and
    the outstanding stock options, including, without limitation,
    any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock
    which may thereafter be available under the Plan
    and/or in
    the number of shares annually granted to Participants pursuant
    to Section 5(b) hereof.

 

    9. Securities Law
    Requirements.  The Company may require option
    holders, as a condition of either the grant or the exercise of
    an option, to represent and establish to the satisfaction of the
    General Counsel of the Company that all shares of Common Stock
    acquired upon the exercise of such option will be acquired for
    investment and not for resale. The Company may refuse to permit
    the sale or other disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to
    any such representation until it is satisfied that such sale or
    other disposition would not be in contravention of applicable
    state or federal securities law.

 

    10. Governing Law.  The validity,
    construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the
    Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to
    the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws
    of the State of Minnesota, other than the conflict of law
    provisions of such laws.

 

    11. Amendment.  The Board of
    Directors may, by resolution, amend or revise the Plan, except
    that such action shall not be effective without stockholder
    approval if such stockholder approval is required by law or
    under the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other
    securities market on which the Common Stock is listed or
    authorized for quotation. The Board of Directors may not alter
    or impair any options previously granted under the Plan without
    the consent of the holders thereof, except in accordance with
    the provisions of Section 8.

 

    12. Termination.  The Plan shall
    terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date,
    unless it is sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. The
    Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time, in whole
    or in part, in its sole discretion. Termination of the Plan
    shall not affect options previously granted under the Plan.

 

    13. Effective Date. The Plan shall be
    effective on the date it is approved by the Company’s
    shareholders.exv10wrr

    NON-QUALIFIED
    STOCK OPTIONS

 

    You are the recipient of a stock option award under the Polaris
    Industries Inc. 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (as
    it may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”). The
    Board of Directors and the shareholders of Polaris Industries
    Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved the Plan for
    the purposes of providing non-employee directors of the Company
    an opportunity to acquire Common Stock, par value $.01 per
    share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and to create
    an incentive for such persons to serve on the Board of Directors
    of the Company and to contribute to its long-term growth and
    profitability. A copy of the Plan is enclosed herewith for your
    reference.

 

    This stock option award was approved by the Compensation
    Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
    “Committee”). Section 5 of the Plan provides that
    all awards under the Plan be made pursuant to an award agreement
    between the recipient and the Company. This Annex A,
    together with the cover sheet hereto, sets forth an Amended and
    Restated Stock Option Agreement (“Agreement”) to
    confirm and formalize your agreement with the Company with
    respect to your stock option award and is entered into under and
    pursuant to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan. In
    conformity with the Plan, you and the Company agree as follows:

 

    1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
    and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to you the right and
    option to purchase from the Company up to, but not exceeding in
    the aggregate, the number of shares of the Common Stock of the
    Company set forth on the cover sheet to this Agreement (the
    “Options”), at an exercise price of
    $      per share (the “Exercise
    Price”) and for the period (the “Option Term”)
    beginning
    on          ,
    20   (the “Date of Grant”) and ending
    on          ,
    20   (the “Expiration Date”), subject to
    earlier termination as set forth in Section 5. The Exercise
    Price set forth herein equals the fair market value, as defined
    in the Plan, on the Date of Grant, of the shares of Common Stock
    subject to the Options.

 

    2. All of the Options granted to you under this Agreement
    are not intended to be incentive stock options within the
    meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986, as amended (the “Code”), i.e. such
    Options are non-qualified stock options.

 

    3. The Options granted to you hereunder shall become
    exercisable (“vest”) as set forth below. Once Options
    have vested, they may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any
    time and from time to time during the Option Term. The Options
    will vest in full and become exercisable on the earliest to
    occur of (a) the date of the Company’s
    20  Annual Meeting of Shareholders, (b) the
    termination of your service on the Board of Directors of the
    Company at or after age sixty-five (65) or as a result of
    the term limits applicable to members of the Board of Directors
    of the Company (“Retirement”), (c) the
    termination of your service on the Board of Directors of the
    Company prior to age sixty-five (65) if you have served on
    the Board of Directors of the Company for a period of ten
    (10) years or more (“Early Retirement”) or
    (d) the occurrence of a “Change in Control” of
    the Company. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to
    have occurred if:

 

    (a) Any election has occurred of persons to the Board of
    Directors of the Company that causes at least one-half of the
    Board of Directors to consist of persons other than
    (x) persons who were members of the Board of Directors
    on          ,
    20   and (y) persons who were nominated for
    election by the Board of Directors as members of the Board of
    Directors at a time when more than one-half of the members of
    the Board of Directors consisted of persons who were members of
    the Board of Directors
    on          ,
    20  ; provided, however, that any person nominated for
    election by the Board of Directors at a time when at least
    one-half of the members of the Board of Directors were persons
    described in clauses (x) and/or (y) or by persons who
    were themselves nominated by such Board of Directors shall, for
    this purpose, be deemed to have been nominated by a Board of
    Directors composed of persons described in clause (x) (persons
    described or deemed described in clauses (x) and/or
    (y) are referred to herein as (“Incumbent
    Directors”)); or

 

    (b) The acquisition in one or more transactions, other than
    from the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the
    meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))
    of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
    Rule 13d-3
    promulgated under the Exchange Act) of a number of Company
    Voting Securities equal to or greater than 35% of the Company
    Voting Securities unless such acquisition has been designated by
    the Incumbent Directors as an acquisition not constituting a
    Change of Control for purposes hereof; or

 

    (c) Any of the following: (x) a liquidation or
    dissolution of the Company; (y) a reorganization, merger or
    consolidation of the Company unless, following such
    reorganization, merger or consolidation, (A) the Company is
    the surviving entity resulting from such reorganization, merger
    or consolidation or (B) at least one-half of the Board of
    Directors of the entity resulting from such reorganization,
    merger or consolidation consists of Incumbent Directors; or
    (z) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
    of the assets of the Company unless, following such sale or
    disposition, at least one-half of the Board of Directors of the
    transferee consists of Incumbent Directors.

 

    As used herein, “Company Voting Securities” means the
    combined voting power of all outstanding voting securities of
    the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of the
    Board of Directors.

 

    4. You may exercise the Options by delivering to the
    Company a Notice of Exercise of Stock Options, in the form set
    forth as Exhibit A hereto, together with (i) a check
    payable to the order of the Company
    and/or
    (ii) shares of Common Stock that you have held for at least
    six months prior to the date of exercise, with a stock power
    executed in blank, equal in value to the Exercise Price of the
    shares of Common Stock being purchased. Shares of Common Stock
    surrendered in exercise of an Option shall be valued at their
    fair market value, as such term is defined in the Plan, on the
    date of exercise. With the approval of, and under the terms and
    conditions specified by, the Committee, you also may exercise
    the Options in accordance with a cashless exercise program
    through an approved broker or dealer.

 

    5. Upon your termination of service on the Board of
    Directors for any reason, your rights to exercise your Options
    shall be only as follows:

 

    (a) If you die (i) while a non-employee director of
    the Company or (ii) within the five (5) year period
    specified in Section 5(b) below or the three (3) year
    period specified in Section 5(c) below or the ninety
    (90) day period specified in Section 5(d) below, your
    non-vested Options, if any, shall be forfeited, and your vested
    Options may be exercised by the person or persons to whom your
    rights under the Options pass by will or applicable law or if no
    person has that right, by your executors or administrators, at
    any time, or from time to time, within one (1) year of the
    date of your death, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

    (b) If you cease to be a non-employee director of the
    Company by reason of Retirement, your Options shall be deemed
    vested in full as of the Retirement date, and such vested
    Options may be exercised at any time, or from time to time,
    within five (5) years of the date of such Retirement, but
    in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

    (c) If you cease to be a non-employee director of the
    Company by reason of Early Retirement, your Options shall be
    deemed vested in full as of the Early Retirement date, and such
    vested Options may be exercised at any time, or from time to
    time, within three (3) years of the date of such Early
    Retirement, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

    (d) If you cease to be a non-employee director of the
    Company for any reason other than those set forth in
    Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above, your non-vested Options
    shall be forfeited, and your vested Options may be exercised at
    any time, or from time to time, within ninety (90) days of
    the date of such cessation of service, but in no event after the
    Expiration Date.

 

    6. In the event of any subdivision or combination of the
    outstanding shares of Common Stock, stock dividend,
    recapitalization, reclassification of shares, sale, lease or
    transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company,
    substantial distributions to shareholders, merger, consolidation
    or other corporate transactions that would result in a
    substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights or economic
    benefits inuring to you under the Plan, the Committee shall make
    such equitable adjustments as it may deem appropriate in the
    Options granted in this Agreement. Any such determination by the
    Committee shall be final and binding on you.

 

    7. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Plan shall
    be deemed to confer upon you any right to prevent or to approve
    or vote upon any of the corporate actions described in
    Section 6. The existence of the Options granted in this
    Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or the power of
    the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all
    adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes
    in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any
    merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds,
    debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or
    affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the
    dissolution

 

    or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or
    any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act
    or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

    8. Whenever you are referred to in any provision of this
    Agreement under circumstances where the provision should
    logically be construed to apply to the executors, the
    administrators, or the person or persons to whom Options may be
    transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
    such references will be deemed to include such person or persons.

 

    9. You may not transfer the Options granted under this
    Agreement otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
    distribution and only you may exercise the Options during your
    lifetime. No assignment or transfer of the Options granted under
    this Agreement, or of the rights represented thereby, whether
    voluntary or involuntary, by the operation of law or otherwise
    (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), shall
    vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein
    whatsoever, but immediately upon any such assignment or transfer
    the Options shall terminate and become of no further effect.

 

    10. You shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a
    shareholder of the Company in respect of shares as to which the
    Options have not been exercised as provided in this Agreement.

 

    11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
    to the contrary, you hereby agree that you will not exercise the
    Options granted under this Agreement, and that the Company will
    not be obligated to issue any shares to you under this
    Agreement, if the exercise of such Options or the issuance of
    such shares shall constitute a violation by you or the Company
    of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
    authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company
    shall be final and binding. The Company shall in no event be
    obligated to register any securities pursuant to the Securities
    Act of 1933 (as the same shall be in effect from time to time)
    or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the
    exercise of the Options or the issuance of the shares pursuant
    thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental
    authority.

 

    12. No amounts of income received by you pursuant to this
    Agreement shall be considered compensation for purposes of any
    compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Company for
    non-employee directors unless otherwise provided in such plan or
    arrangement.

 

    13. Every notice or other communication relating to this
    Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed to or
    delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address
    as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed
    or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided,
    however, that unless and until some other address be so
    designated, all notices or communications by you to the Company
    shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its office at
    2100 Highway 55, Medina, Minnesota 55340, and all notices or
    communications by the Company to you may be given to you
    personally or may be mailed to you at the address indicated in
    the Company’s records as your most recent mailing address.

 

    14. This Agreement shall be construed, governed, and
    interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota, except the
    conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

 

    15. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding of the
    parties hereof, and supersedes all other oral or written
    agreements or understandings between you and the Company
    regarding the subject matter hereof. No change, alteration or
    modification hereof may be made except in a writing, signed by
    each of the parties hereto.

 

    16. If any provision of this Agreement or the application
    of any provision hereof is declared to be illegal, invalid, or
    otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
    the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

 

    17. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
    benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and your
    heirs and personal representatives.
