Competition
The Company’s business operates in highly competitive markets and industries. The Company offers its products over numerous, varied markets through its divisions operating in 49 countries and consequently has hundreds of competitors when viewed across its various markets and product offerings. The Company’s competitors include U.S. and non-U.S. companies. These competitors and the degree of competition vary widely by product lines, end markets, geographic scope and/or geographic locations. Although each of the Company’s segments has numerous competitors, given the Company’s market and product breadth, no single competitor competes with the Company with respect to all products manufactured and sold by the Company.
In the Diversified Industrial Segment, the Company competes on the basis of product quality and innovation, customer service, manufacturing and distribution capability, and price competitiveness. The Company believes that it is one of the market leaders in most of the major markets for its most significant Diversified Industrial Segment products. The Company has comprehensive motion and control packages for the broadest systems capabilities. While the Company’s primary global competitors include Bosch Rexroth AG, Danaher Corporation, Danfoss A/S, Donaldson Company, Inc., Eaton Corporation plc, Emerson Climate Technologies, Emerson/ASCO, Festo AG, Freudenberg-NOK, Gates Corporation, IMI/Norgren, SMC Corporation, Swagelok Company, and Trelleborg AB, none of these businesses compete with every group in the Company's Diversified Industrial Segment and every product line offered by this segment.
In the Aerospace Systems Segment, the Company has developed alliances with key customers based on the Company’s advanced technological and engineering capabilities, superior performance in quality, delivery, and service, and price competitiveness, which has enabled the Company to obtain significant original equipment business on new aircraft programs for its systems and components and to thereby obtain the follow-on repair and replacement business for these programs. Further, the Aerospace Systems Segment is able to utilize low-cost manufacturing techniques for similar products in the Diversified Industrial Segment to achieve a lower cost producer status. Although the Company believes that it is one of the market leaders in most of the major markets for its most significant Aerospace Systems Segment products, the Company’s primary global competitors for the most significant Aerospace Systems Segment products include Eaton Corporation plc, Honeywell International, Inc., Moog Inc., Triumph Group, Inc., UTC Aerospace Systems, Woodward, Inc. and Zodiac Aerospace SA.

The Company believes that its platform utilizing nine core technologies, which consist of aerospace, electromechanical, filtration, fluid handling, hydraulics, pneumatics, process control, refrigeration, and sealing and shielding, is a positive factor in its ability to compete effectively with both large and small competitors. For both of its segments, the Company believes that the following factors also contribute to its ability to compete effectively:
decentralized operating structure that allows each division to focus on its customers and respond quickly at the local level;
systems solution capabilities that use the Company’s core technologies from both of its segments;
global presence; and
a strong global distribution network.
Research and Product Development
The Company continually researches the feasibility of new products and services through its development laboratories and testing facilities in many of its worldwide manufacturing locations. Its research and product development staff includes chemists, physicists, and mechanical, chemical and electrical engineers.
Total research and development costs relating to the development of new products and services and the improvement of existing products and services amounted to $359.8 million in 2016, $403.1 million in 2015 and $410.1 million in 2014. These amounts include costs incurred by the Company related to independent research and development initiatives as well as costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts. Costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts and included in the total research and development costs reported above for 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $58.0 million, $57.8 million and $55.9 million, respectively.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses
The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks and licenses related to its products and has exclusive and non-exclusive rights to use a number of patents owned by others. In addition, patent applications on certain products are now pending, although there can be no assurance that patents will be issued. The Company is not dependent to any material extent on any single patent, trademark or license or group of patents, trademarks or licenses.
Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business
Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. The Company's backlog by business segment for the past two years is included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company’s backlog was $3.2 billion at June 30, 2016 and $3.3 billion at June 30, 2015. Approximately 86% of the Company’s backlog at June 30, 2016 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s business is generally not seasonal in nature.
Environmental Regulation
Certain of the Company’s operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, the Company is subject to United States federal, state, and local laws and regulations as well as non-U.S. laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for non-compliance and liability for response costs, property damage and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or exposures to, hazardous materials. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the United States federal "Superfund" law, under which the Company has been designated as a "potentially responsible party" and may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company was involved in environmental remediation at various United States and non-U.S. manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and as a "potentially responsible party," along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites.


7


The Company believes that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management efforts and expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have in the future, a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a reserve of $15.2 million for environmental matters that were probable and reasonably estimable. This reserve was recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties.
The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $15.2 million to a maximum of $80.6 million. The largest range of the estimated total liability for any one site is approximately $7.6 million. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of contamination and required remedial action, negotiations with governmental authorities with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technologies, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of the other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or other third-party recoveries.
Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The Company’s primary energy source for both of its business segments is electric power. While the Company cannot predict future costs of electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric power will be coal from substantial, proven coal reserves available to electric utilities. The Company is subject to governmental regulations in regard to energy supplies in the United States and elsewhere. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions of its operations due to energy curtailments.
Steel, brass, copper, aluminum, nickel, rubber and thermoplastic materials and chemicals are the principal raw materials used by the Company. These materials are available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.
Employees
The Company employed approximately 48,950 persons as of June 30, 2016, of whom approximately 26,280 were employed by foreign subsidiaries.
Business Segment Information
The Company’s net sales, segment operating income and assets by business segment and net sales and long-lived assets by geographic area for the past three years are included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
The following "risk factors" identify what the Company believes to be the risks that could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial and/or operational performance. These risk factors should be considered and evaluated together with information incorporated by reference or otherwise included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial also may impair the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from uncertainty in worldwide and regional economic conditions.
The Company's business is sensitive to global macro-economic conditions. Slow economic growth persists in the economic regions in which the Company conducts substantial operations. The continued effects of the global economic downturn and the rate of recovery may have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its distributors, customers and suppliers, and on the general economic activity in many of the industries and markets in which the Company and its distributors, customers and suppliers operate. Among the economic factors which may have such an effect are manufacturing and other end-market activity, currency exchange rates, air travel trends, difficulties entering new markets, and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. These factors may, among other things, negatively impact the level of purchases, capital expenditures, and creditworthiness of the Company and its distributors, customers and suppliers, and, therefore, the Company’s revenues, operating profits, margins, and order rates.

8


The Company has remained focused on maintaining its financial strength by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company cannot predict changes in worldwide or regional economic conditions, as such conditions are highly volatile and beyond the Company’s control. If these conditions deteriorate or do not return to previous levels, however, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to its non-U.S. operations.
The Company’s net sales derived from customers outside the United States were approximately 41% in 2016, 42% in 2015 and 44% in 2014. In addition, many of the Company’s manufacturing operations and suppliers are located outside the United States. The Company expects net sales from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales. The Company’s non-U.S. operations are subject to risks in addition to those facing its domestic operations, including:
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings;
transportation delays and interruptions;
political, social and economic instability and disruptions;
government embargoes or trade restrictions;
the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;
import and export controls;
labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;
the potential for nationalization of enterprises;
difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;
limitations on the Company’s ability to enforce legal rights and remedies;
potentially adverse tax consequences; and
difficulties in implementing restructuring actions on a timely basis.
If the Company is unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding its global business or adequately manage operational fluctuations internationally, the risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to organizational changes.
The Company regularly executes organizational changes such as acquisitions, divestitures and realignments to support its growth and cost management strategies. The Company also engages in initiatives aimed to increase productivity, efficiencies and cash flow and to reduce costs. The Company further commits significant resources to identify, develop and retain key employees to ensure uninterrupted leadership and direction. If the Company is unable to successfully manage these and other organizational changes, the ability to complete such activities and realize anticipated synergies or cost savings as well as the Company's results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. The Company also cannot offer assurances that any of these initiatives will continue to be beneficial to the extent anticipated, or that the estimated efficiency improvements, incremental cost savings or cash flow improvements will be realized as anticipated or at all.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to acquisitions and joint ventures.
The Company expects to continue its strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses with complementary products and services, and entering into joint ventures, which it believes will enhance its operations and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to find suitable businesses to purchase or joint venture opportunities or that it will be able to acquire such businesses or enter into such joint ventures on acceptable terms. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to avoid acquiring or assuming unexpected liabilities, that the Company will be able to integrate successfully any businesses that it purchases into its existing business or that any acquired businesses or joint ventures will be profitable. The successful integration of new businesses and the success of joint ventures depend on the Company’s

9


ability to manage these new businesses and cut excess costs. If the Company is unable to avoid these risks, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to its information technology systems.
The Company relies extensively on information technology systems to manage and operate its business, some of which are managed by third parties. The security and functionality of these information technology systems, and the processing of data by these systems, are critical to our business operations. If these systems, or any part of the systems, are damaged, intruded upon, attacked, shutdown or cease to function properly (whether by planned upgrades, force majeure, telecommunications failures, hardware or software break-ins or viruses, or other cybersecurity incidents) and the Company suffers any resulting interruption in its ability to manage and operate its business or if its products are effected, the Company's results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to changes in the demand for and supply of its products.
Demand for and supply of the Company’s products may be adversely affected by numerous factors, some of which the Company cannot predict or control. Such factors include:
changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments, disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in financial condition, and changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs;
changes in product mix;
changes in the market acceptance of the Company’s products;
increased competition in the markets the Company serves;
declines in the general level of industrial production;
weakness in the end-markets the Company serves;
fluctuations in the availability or the prices of raw materials; and
fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
If any of these factors occur, the demand for and supply of the Company’s products could suffer, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to the development of new products and technologies.
The markets in which the Company operates are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and frequent introductions of new products and services. The Company’s ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect its competitive position and often requires the investment of significant resources. If the Company does not develop, or has difficulties or delays in the development of, innovative new and enhanced products and services, or fails to gain market or regulatory acceptance of new products and technologies, the Company's revenues may be materially reduced and the Company's competitive position could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the Company may invest in research and development of products and services, or in acquisitions or other investments, that do not lead to significant revenue, which could adversely affect our profitability.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from price and supply fluctuations in raw materials used in the Company’s production processes and by its suppliers of component parts.
The Company’s supply of raw materials for its businesses could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing. Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated significantly in the past and significant increases could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and profit margins. Although the Company generally attempts to manage these fluctuations by, among other things, passing along increased raw material prices to its customers in the form of price increases, there may be a time delay between the increased raw material prices and the Company’s ability to increase the price of its products, or the Company may be unable to increase the prices of its products due to pricing pressure, contract terms or other factors which could adversely impact results of operations and cash flows.
The Company’s suppliers of component parts may significantly and quickly increase their prices in response to increases in costs of raw materials that they use to manufacture the component parts. As a result, the Company may not be able to

10


increase its prices commensurately with its increased costs. Consequently, the Company’s results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from changes in the competitive environment in which it operates.
The Company’s operations are subject to competition from a wide variety of global, regional and local competitors, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations by creating downward pricing pressure and/or a decline in the Company’s margins or market shares. To compete successfully, the Company must excel in terms of product quality and innovation, technological and engineering capability, manufacturing and distribution capability, delivery, price competitiveness, and customer service.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to changes in its tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company's domestic and international tax liabilities are dependent upon the location of earnings among these different jurisdictions. The Company’s future results of operation could be adversely affected by changes in the Company's effective tax rate as a result of changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in overall profitability, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or changes in tax laws or regulations. In addition, the amount of income taxes paid by the Company is subject to ongoing audits by United States federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. tax authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts reserved, future financial results may include unfavorable adjustments to the Company’s tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company may be subject to product liability risks.
The Company’s businesses expose it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of its products and the products of third-party vendors that the Company uses or resells. Significant product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Although the Company currently maintains what it believes to be suitable and adequate product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its insurance on acceptable terms or that its insurance will provide adequate protection against all potential liabilities.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from litigation, legal and regulatory proceedings and obligations.
From time to time, the Company is subject to litigation or other commercial disputes and other legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of any litigation, commercial disputes or other legal or regulatory proceedings, the Company cannot accurately predict their ultimate outcome, including the outcome of any related appeals. An unfavorable outcome could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company establishes reserves based on its assessment of contingencies, including contingencies related to legal claims asserted against it. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect the Company's assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve and require the Company to make payments in excess of our reserves, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company is subject to national and international laws and regulations, such as the anti-corruption laws of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, relating to its business and its employees. Despite the Company's policies, procedures and compliance programs, its internal controls and compliance systems may not be able to protect the Company from prohibited acts willfully committed by its employees, agents or business partners that would violate such applicable laws and regulations. Any such improper acts could damage the Company's reputation, subject it to civil or criminal judgments, fines or penalties, and could otherwise disrupt the Company's business, and as a result, could materially adversely impact the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to the preservation of its intellectual property.
Protecting the Company’s intellectual property is critical to its innovation efforts. The Company owns a number of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, trade names and other forms of intellectual property in its products and services throughout the world. The Company also has exclusive and non-exclusive rights to intellectual property owned by others. The Company’s intellectual property may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties or the Company may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms. In addition, the global nature of the Company’s business increases the risk that the Company’s intellectual property may be subject to infringement or other unauthorized use by others. In some cases, the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property

11


rights by legal recourse or otherwise may be limited, particularly in countries where laws or enforcement practices are inadequate or undeveloped. Unauthorized use of the Company’s intellectual property rights or the Company's inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights could adversely impact the Company’s competitive position and results of operations.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from the impact of environmental regulations.
The Company’s operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, it is subject to various United States federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as non-U.S. laws, designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for non-compliance and liability for response costs, property damages and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or the exposure to, hazardous materials. Among other laws, the Company is subject to the United States federal "Superfund" law, under which it has been designated as a "potentially responsible party" and may be liable for clean-up costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list. The Company could incur substantial costs as a result of non-compliance with or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under environmental laws, including the Superfund law.
In addition, increased worldwide focus on climate change issues has led to recent legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, including regulation of such emissions through a "cap-and-trade" system globally. Increased regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and other climate changes concerns could subject the Company to additional costs and restrictions, including increased energy and raw material costs. Until definitive regulations are adopted, the Company is not able to predict how such regulations would affect the Company’s business, operations or financial results.
The Company may be subject to more stringent environmental laws in the future. If more stringent environmental laws are enacted in the future, these laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company may be subject to risks relating to increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits.
The funding requirements and the amount of expenses recorded for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are dependent on changes in market interest rates and the value of plan assets, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns. Significant changes in market interest rates and decreases in the fair value of plan assets and investment losses on plan assets would increase funding requirements and expenses and may adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.
The Company absorbs a portion of healthcare costs for its employees. If healthcare costs rise significantly and the Company continues to absorb the majority of these costs, these increasing costs may adversely impact the Company's future results of operations.
The Company may be subject to risks arising from regulations applicable to companies doing business with the United States government.
In addition to the risks identified herein, doing business with the United States government subjects the Company to unusual risks, including dependence on the level of government spending and compliance with and changes in governmental procurement regulations. Agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification, either at the convenience of the government or for the Company’s failure to perform under the applicable contract. The Company is subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement regulations. If the Company were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any such investigation, it could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The extent to which the Company uses its properties varies by property and from time to time. The Company believes that its restructuring efforts have brought capacity levels closer to present and anticipated needs. Most of the Company’s manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling volume increases.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings. Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose, typically used in oil transfer, conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions. Parker ITR and the Company have cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose and continue to cooperate with the investigations that remain ongoing. Several of the investigations and all of the lawsuits have concluded. The following investigation remains pending.
On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Community Treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the General Court of the European Union on April 10, 2009. On May 12, 2013, the court reversed in part the decision of the European Commission, reducing the original fine of 25.61 million euros to 6.40 million euros and holding that the Company and Parker ITR are jointly and severally liable for payment of the fine up to 6.30 million euros. The European Commission appealed the ruling to the European Court of Justice. On December 18, 2014, the European Court of Justice reversed the ruling of the General Court and referred the case back to the General Court. On July 14, 2016, the General Court rendered its judgment and reduced Parker ITR's fine from the initial 25.61 million euros to 19.95 million euros, of which it determined the Company is jointly and severally liable for 6.40 million euros.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements contained in this and other written and oral reports are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of release, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties and risks. All statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments are forward-looking statements. It is possible that the future performance and earnings projections of the Company, including its individual segments, may differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within its mobile, industrial and aerospace markets, and the Company's ability to maintain and achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities, strategic initiatives to improve operating margins, actions taken to combat the effects of the current economic environment, and growth, innovation and global diversification initiatives. A change in the economic conditions in individual markets may have a particularly volatile effect on segment performance.
Among other factors which may affect future performance are:
changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments, disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in financial condition, changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs, and changes in product mix;
ability to identify acceptable strategic acquisition targets;
uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions and similar transactions;
the ability to successfully divest businesses planned for divestiture and realize the anticipated benefits of such divestitures;
the determination to undertake business realignment activities and the expected costs thereof and, if undertaken, the ability to complete such activities and realize the anticipated cost savings from such activities;
ability to implement successfully the Company's capital allocation initiatives, including timing, price and execution of share repurchases;
increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing;
the Company's ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and health care benefits;
threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism and cyber-security risks;
uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals;
competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing; and
global economic factors, including manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability.
The Company makes these statements as of the date of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, and undertakes no obligation to update them unless otherwise required by law.

Overview

The Company's order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company's outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a correlation to the Company's future order rates are as follows:

Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;
Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and
Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets.
A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:
 
June 30, 2016

 
March 31, 2016

 
June 30, 2015

United States
53.2

 
51.8

 
53.5

Eurozone countries
52.8

 
51.6

 
52.5

China
48.6

 
49.7

 
49.4

Brazil
43.2

 
46.0

 
46.5

 
Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles have both increased approximately six percent from their comparable 2015 level. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regards to appropriations, and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government's fiscal year 2016 will increase by approximately one percent from the comparable fiscal 2015 level.
 
Housing starts in June 2016 were approximately nine percent higher than housing starts in March 2016 but were two percent lower than housing starts in June 2015.

Net sales in 2016 were 10.6 percent lower than 2015. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $42 million in sales in 2016 and the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales in 2016 by approximately $403 million. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and currency rate changes, net sales in 2016 were 7.8 percent lower than 2015 primarily due to a decrease in volume in the both the Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operations.

Net sales in 2015 were 3.8 percent lower than 2014. Acquisitions made in 2015 contributed approximately $14 million in sales in 2015 and the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales in 2015 by approximately $547 million. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and currency rate changes, net sales in 2015 were essentially unchanged from 2014 as an increase in volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial North American operations and the Aerospace Systems Segment was offset by lower volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial International operations.

Gross profit margin decreased in 2016 primarily due to both lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies, and higher business realignment charges in the Diversified Industrial Segment, partially offset by favorable product mix and lower engineering costs in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Gross profit margin increased in 2015 primarily due to lower business realignment charges in the Diversified Industrial International operations and lower product support costs in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss (relating to cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions) included in cost of sales for 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $22.7 million, $(77.8) million and $5.4 million, respectively. Pension cost included in cost of sales in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $172.4 million, $169.8 million and $174.8 million, respectively. Included in cost of sales in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were business realignment charges of $76.2 million, $19.4 million and $63.6 million, respectively.

19



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 12.0 percent in 2016 and decreased 5.5 percent in 2015. The decrease in 2016 was primarily due to lower research and development expenses, lower incentive compensation expense and lower stock compensation expense, partially offset by higher business realignment charges. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2015 was primarily due to lower business realignment charges and stock compensation expense, partially offset by higher net expenses associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2016 is primarily due to fewer stock awards granted. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2015 is primarily due to a lower fair value calculated for 2015 stock awards as well as fewer stock awards granted. Pension cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $74.4 million, $69.6 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were business realignment charges of $21.1 million, $12.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible asset impairment related to the Worldwide Energy Products Division. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Interest expense in 2016 increased primarily due to higher weighted-average borrowings and higher weighted-average interest rates. Interest expense in 2015 increased primarily due to higher weighted-average interest rates.

Other (income), net in 2016, 2015 and 2014 includes $25.6 million, $23.2 million and $11.1 million of income, respectively, related to the Company's equity interests in joint ventures.

(Gain) loss on disposal of assets includes a gain of $11.5 million related to the sale of businesses in 2016 and a gain of $412.6 million related to the deconsolidation of a subsidiary in 2014.

Effective tax rate in 2016 was favorably impacted by an increase of discrete tax benefits, an increase in the U.S. Research and Development credit, and an increase in the U.S. Foreign Tax Credit. These benefits were partially offset by an unfavorable geographic mix of earnings. The effective tax rate in 2015 was favorably impacted by the re-enactment of the U.S. Research and Development credit, an increase in the federal manufacturing deduction and the absence of discrete tax costs incurred in the prior year. These benefits were partially offset by an unfavorable geographic mix of earnings.

Sales in 2016 for the Diversified Industrial North American operations decreased 13.3 percent from 2015 compared to remaining relatively flat between 2014 and 2015. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months contributed approximately $8 million in sales in 2016 and the effect of currency exchange rates decreased sales in 2016 by $60 million. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2016 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations decreased 12.4 percent from 2015 reflecting lower demand from distributors and end-users in most markets. The markets that

20


experienced the largest decline in end-user demand were the oil and gas, construction equipment and farm and agriculture equipment markets. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations increased 1.2 percent from 2014 reflecting higher demand from distributors as well as from end-users in the car and light truck, heavy-duty truck, refrigeration and air conditioning and construction equipment markets, partially offset by lower demand in the farm and agriculture equipment market.

Sales in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 12.6 percent in 2016 after a decrease of 10.3 percent from 2014 to 2015. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months contributed approximately $34 million in sales in 2016. The effect of currency rate changes decreased sales by $338 million, reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2016 in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 6.1 percent from 2015, primarily due to lower volume in all regions, with approximately 55 percent of the decrease occurring in Europe and approximately 35 percent of the decrease occurring in the Asia Pacific region. Within these regions, the largest decrease in sales was experienced from distributors and end-users in the oil and gas, marine, engine and construction equipment markets. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 1.3 percent from 2014 primarily due to higher volume in the Asia Pacific region being more than offset by lower volume in Europe, approximately two-thirds of which was due to the absence of sales from divested businesses, and in Latin America.

The decrease in operating margins in 2016 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations was primarily due to the lower sales volume and higher business realignment charges, partially offset by lower operating expenses primarily resulting from the Company's Simplification initiative. The decrease in operating margins in 2016 in the Diversified Industrial International operations was primarily due to the lower sales volume, an unfavorable product mix and higher business realignment charges, partially offset by lower operating expenses primarily resulting from the Company's Simplification initiative and prior-year restructuring activities. The increase in operating margins in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations was primarily due to the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by higher warehouse, shipping, and manufacturing support costs, research and development expenses and raw material costs. Diversified Industrial North American margins in 2015 were also adversely affected by a voluntary retirement expense of $12.7 million. The increase in operating margins in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial International operations was primarily due to lower fixed overhead costs and lower business realignment charges in the current-year, partially offset by higher raw material costs due to changes in currency exchange rates.

The following business realignment charges are included in Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International operating income:

The business realignment charges consist primarily of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's Simplification initiative implemented by operating units throughout the world as well as plant closures. The majority of the Diversified Industrial International business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. In addition to the business realignment charges presented in the table above, the Company recognized $12 million of expense associated with enhanced retirement benefits in connection with a plant closure during 2016. The Company anticipates that cost savings realized from the work force reduction measures taken during 2016 will increase 2017 operating income by approximately 11 percent in the Diversified Industrial North American business and by approximately 13 percent in the Diversified Industrial International business. In 2017, the Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. Such actions are expected to result in approximately $48 million in business realignment charges in 2017.

The Company anticipates Diversified Industrial North American sales for 2017 will range from a decrease of five percent to a decrease of one percent from the 2016 level and Diversified Industrial International sales for 2017 will increase between one percent and five percent from the 2016 level. Diversified Industrial North American operating margins in 2017 are expected to range from 16.7 percent to 17.1 percent and Diversified Industrial International margins are expected to range from 12.5 percent to 12.9 percent.

The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment backlog in 2016 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders primarily in North America and Europe, with North America accounting for approximately 70 percent of the decrease and

21


Europe accounting for approximately 30 percent of the decrease. The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment backlog in 2015 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in all regions. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment assets in 2016 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and a decrease in prepaid expenses, inventory, intangible assets, trade accounts receivable, net and plant and equipment, net, partially offset by an increase in marketable securities and other investments, cash and cash equivalents, deferred income taxes and goodwill. The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment assets in 2015 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and a decrease in trade accounts receivable, net, non-trade and notes receivable and intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and other assets.

Sales in 2016 were higher than the 2015 level as higher volume in the military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and commercial and military aftermarket businesses was partially offset by lower volume in the commercial OEM business. Sales in 2015 were higher than the 2014 level as higher volume in the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses was partially offset by lower volume in the military OEM business.

The higher margin in 2016 was primarily due to a favorable product mix, favorable contract settlements, lower engineering development expenses and lower operating costs. The higher margin in 2015 was primarily due to the higher sales volume and lower engineering and development costs partially offset by a voluntary retirement expense of $5.4 million. Margins in 2015 and 2014 were favorably impacted by the finalization of contract negotiations related to certain programs.

The increase in backlog in 2016 was primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the military OEM and commercial and military aftermarket businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the commercial OEM business. The decrease in backlog in 2015 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in all businesses of the Aerospace Systems Segment. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

For 2017, sales are expected to increase between one percent and three percent from the 2016 level and operating margins are expected to range from 15.1 percent to 15.5 percent. A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.

The increase in assets in 2016 was primarily due to an increase in trade accounts receivable, net and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in inventory. The increase in assets in 2015 was primarily due to an increase in inventory and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in trade accounts receivable, net.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $173.2 million in 2016 compared to $215.4 million in 2015 and $181.9 million in 2014. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses were 1.5 percent of sales compared to 1.7 percent in 2015 and 1.4 percent in 2014. The lower expense in 2016 was primarily due to a decrease in research and development expense and lower incentive compensation expense. The higher expense in 2015 was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense and higher net expenses associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs. Corporate general and administrative expenses in 2015 included $3.1 million in voluntary retirement expense.


22


Corporate assets decreased 12.5 percent in 2016 compared to a decrease of 10.8 percent from 2014 to 2015. The decrease in Corporate assets in 2016 was primarily due to decreases in marketable securities and other investments, non-trade and notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents and the effect of currency rate fluctuations, partially offset by an increase in deferred income taxes. The decrease in Corporate assets in 2015 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and changes in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, non-trade and notes receivable, deferred income taxes and other assets.

Foreign currency transaction primarily relates to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions. A significant portion of the foreign currency transaction gain in 2015 related to intercompany loans and was attributable to the Swiss National Bank lifting the cap on the fluctuation of the exchange rate used to measure the Swiss Franc against the Euro. The Company has since settled these particular intercompany loans. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2016 is primarily due to fewer stock awards granted. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2015 is primarily due to a lower fair value calculated for 2015 stock awards as well as fewer stock awards granted. Included in divestitures and asset sales and writedowns for 2014 is a gain of approximately $413 million resulting from the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

Cash (comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments) includes $2,065 million and $1,777 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Generally, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments held by foreign subsidiaries are not readily available for use in the United States without adverse tax consequences. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided by operating activities, commercial paper borrowings or borrowings directly from its line of credit. The Company does not believe the level of its non-U.S. cash position will have an adverse effect on working capital needs, planned growth, repayment of maturing debt, benefit plan funding, dividend payments or share repurchases.

Trade accounts receivable, net are receivables due from customers for sales of product. Days sales outstanding relating to trade receivables for the Company was 49 days in 2016 and 48 days in 2015. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.

Inventories decreased $127 million from 2015 (which includes a decrease of $17 million from the effect of foreign currency translation and an increase of $7 million from current-year acquisitions). The decrease in inventories was primarily in the

23


Diversified Industrial Segment, with the decrease occurring evenly between the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and the Diversified Industrial International businesses. Days supply of inventory on hand was 62 days in 2016 and 65 days in 2015.

Shareholders' equity activity during 2016 included a decrease of $558 million related to share repurchases, a decrease of $205 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments and a decrease of $286 million related to pensions and postretirement benefits.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities in 2016 reflects a decrease in net income from 2015 of $205 million and an increase of $120 million for cash provided by working capital items. Cash flows from operating activities in 2015 reflects a reduction of $257 million for cash used by working capital items. Cash flow from operating activities in 2014 benefited from a $294 million increase in cash provided by working capital items, partially offset by a $184 million decrease in net income after consideration of non-cash items, including a $413 million gain on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and a $189 million impairment charge. The Company also made voluntary cash contributions to the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan of $200 million in 2016 and $75 million in 2014.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities in 2016 and 2015 includes $51 million and $356 million, respectively, in net purchases of marketable securities and other investments. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2014 includes $625 million in purchases of marketable securities and other investments and $202 million in proceeds from the sale of a 50 percent equity interest in a subsidiary related to the joint venture with GE Aviation.

Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities during 2015 includes the issuance of $1,500 million of medium-term notes and the repayment of commercial paper notes outstanding at the time of the debt issuance. The Company repurchased 5.1 million common shares for $558 million during 2016 as compared to the repurchase of 11.1 million common shares for $1,394 million in 2015 and 1.7 million common shares for $200 million in 2014.

Dividends have been paid for 264 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 60 years. The current annual dividend rate is $2.52 per common share.

The Company's goal is to maintain no less than an "A" rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As a means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity of no more than 37 percent. From time to time, such as at June 30, 2016, fluctuations in cash flows from operations or capital deployment actions may cause the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity to exceed the 37 percent goal. The Company does not believe that its ability to borrow funds at affordable interest rates has been or will be impacted when the debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio temporarily exceeds 37 percent.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,000 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, $1,696 million of which was available at June 30, 2016. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,850 million of short-term commercial paper notes. There were $304 million outstanding commercial paper notes as of June 30, 2016, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the last quarter of 2016 was $541 million.

The Company's credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.

Contractual Obligations - The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for uncertain tax positions was $152 million at June 30, 2016. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, these obligations are not included in the following summary of the Company's fixed contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be more critical than other policies because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment.

Revenue Recognition - Substantially all of the Diversified Industrial Segment revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time the product is shipped. The Aerospace Systems Segment recognizes revenues primarily using the percentage-of-completion method and the extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. The Company estimates costs to complete long-term contracts for purposes of evaluating and establishing contract reserves. The estimation of these costs requires judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contractual agreements as well as the technical nature of the products involved. Adjustments to cost estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets - Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using primarily a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model

25


results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit's fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks, and an appropriate terminal growth factor. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analysis to the Company's overall market capitalization.
The results of the Company's 2016 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2015 indicated that no goodwill impairment existed. During 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company's current strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD's goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140 million. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses.

The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. The Company is unaware of any current market trends that are contrary to the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of any of its reporting units. If actual experience is not consistent with the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of the reporting units, especially assumptions regarding penetration into new markets and the recovery of the current economic environment, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests.

Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite-lived intangible assets and plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test. During 2016, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets held for use were not recoverable. During 2014, in connection with the goodwill impairment review discussed above, the Company determined certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, and plant and equipment were impaired resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $49 million. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets and plant and equipment were determined using the income approach for each asset.

Pensions - The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company's defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term rate of return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels and amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses. Assumptions are determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plans' measurement date. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience as well as the amortization of actuarial gains and losses could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial statements. Beginning in 2017, the Company will change the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant cash outflows. Previously, these costs were determined using a single-weighted average discount rate. The change does not affect the measurement of the Company's benefit obligations. The new method provides a more precise measure of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the discrete spot yield curve rates and will be accounted for as a change in estimate prospectively beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Annual net periodic pension expense in 2017 is expected to be lower by approximately $33 million compared to the previous method. Annual net periodic postretirement cost is not expected to be materially different.

For the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan, a 50 basis point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have a $12 million effect on annual pension expense and a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase annual pension expense by $31 million. As of June 30, 2016, $1,535 million of past years' net actuarial losses related to the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan are subject to amortization in the future. These losses will generally be amortized over approximately eight years and will negatively affect earnings in the future. Actuarial gains experienced in future years will help reduce the effect of the actuarial loss amortization. Further information on pensions is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes - Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's income tax expense and in evaluating tax positions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Factors considered by the Company in determining the probability of realizing deferred income tax assets include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse. The Company reviews its tax positions on a regular basis and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon examination by a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information will be recorded. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Further information on income taxes is provided in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loss Contingencies - The Company has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, product liability and litigation reserves. Establishing loss accruals for these matters requires management's estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss accruals are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
The Company's debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company's objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt existing at June 30, 2016 by approximately $6 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Cleveland, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote except that the business segment results are prepared on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s management disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision-making.

(a)
Amounts in 2015 and 2014 have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17 in the fourth quarter of 2016.

(b)
Includes an investment in a joint venture in which ownership is 50 percent or less and in which the Company does not have operating control (2016 - $241,728; 2015 - $251,365; 2014 - $263,246).
(c)
Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, domestic deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan assets, headquarters facilities and the major portion of the Company’s domestic data processing equipment.
(d)
Net sales are attributed to countries based on the location of the selling unit. North America includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. No country other than the United States represents greater than 10 percent of consolidated sales. Long-lived assets are comprised of plant and equipment based on physical location.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


The term "year" and references to specific years refer to the applicable fiscal years.

1.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Nature of Operations - The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before corporate and administrative expenses, interest expense and income taxes.
The Diversified Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment. Diversified Industrial Segment products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors. The Diversified Industrial North American operations have manufacturing plants and distribution networks throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico and primarily service North America. The Diversified Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 46 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
The Aerospace Systems Segment produces hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and also performs a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapons systems. This Segment serves original equipment and maintenance, repair and overhaul customers worldwide. Aerospace Systems Segment products are marketed by field sales employees and are sold directly to manufacturers and end-users.
There are no individual customers to whom sales are more than four percent of the Company's consolidated sales. Due to the diverse group of customers throughout the world, the Company does not consider itself exposed to any concentration of credit risks.
The Company manufactures and markets its products throughout the world. Although certain risks and uncertainties exist, the diversity and breadth of the Company's products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes with respect to any particular product and geographic operation would materially affect the Company's operating results.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements. Within the Business Segment Information, intersegment and interarea sales have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time the product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales and the related costs in cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.
Long-term Contracts - The Company enters into long-term contracts primarily for the production of aerospace products. For financial statement purposes, revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. The extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. Unbilled costs on these contracts are included in inventory. Progress payments are netted against the inventory balances. The Company estimates costs to complete long-term contracts for purposes of evaluating and establishing contract reserves. Adjustments to cost estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.
Cash - Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with a three-month or less maturity, carried at cost plus accrued interest, which are readily convertible into cash.

36



Marketable Securities and Other Investments - Consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with stated maturities of greater than three months from the date of purchase, carried at cost plus accrued interest, and investments classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are calculated based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.
Trade Accounts Receivable, Net - Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. Receivables are written off to bad debt primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the debtor. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,010 and $9,284 at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
Non-Trade and Notes Receivable - The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:

$
364,534

Reverse repurchase agreements are collateralized lending arrangements and have a maturity longer than three months from the date of purchase. The Company does not record an asset or liability for the collateral associated with the reverse repurchase agreements.    
         
Plant, Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated principally using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and building equipment, seven to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and three to eight years for vehicles and office equipment. Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company reviews plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. When plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in current income.

Investments and Other Assets - Investments in joint-venture companies in which ownership is 50 percent or less and in which the Company does not have operating control are stated at cost plus the Company's equity in undistributed earnings and amounted to $355,876 and $315,989 at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. A significant portion of the underlying net assets of the joint ventures are related to goodwill. The Company's share of earnings from these investments were immaterial to the Company's results of operations.
Intangible Assets - Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks and customer lists and are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method. Patents are amortized over the shorter of their remaining useful or legal life. Trademarks are amortized over the estimated time period over which an economic benefit is expected to be received. Customer lists are amortized over a period based on anticipated customer attrition rates. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

37


Goodwill - The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon income for financial reporting purposes. Tax credits and similar tax incentives are applied to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which the credits arise. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recognized in income tax expense. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax purposes.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." ASU 2015-17 requires companies to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. The following captions within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2015 have been revised:

Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, and income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments, as well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in the accumulated other comprehensive (loss) component of shareholders' equity. Such adjustments will affect net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, which is not contemplated at this time. Exchange (gains) losses from transactions in a currency other than the local currency of the entity involved are included within cost of goods sold caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and were $22,750, $(77,784) and $5,398, in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. No subsequent events occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Under ASU 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies arising from employee share-based payment awards, and dividends on those awards, will be recognized in the income statement during the period in which they occur. ASU 2016-09 allows companies to make an accounting policy election to estimate forfeitures, as required today, or record them when they occur and allows companies to withhold an amount up to the maximum statutory tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. Within the statement of cash flows, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity and cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld to be classified as a financing activity. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within the annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company intends to adopt ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017. The impact of ASU 2016-09 will generally be dependent on the amount of employee exercises of share-based awards.

38


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting, upon obtaining significant influence, as if it was applied to the investment from inception. Instead, at the date significant influence is obtained, companies should add the cost of the additional interest acquired to the current basis of the investment and apply the equity method prospectively. If an available-for-sale security becomes eligible for the equity method of accounting, any unrealized gains or losses within accumulated other comprehensive income should be recognized within earnings on the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. During fourth quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2016-07. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not affect the Company's financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet by recognizing a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing their right to use the asset during the lease term. Lessee recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows will not change significantly from existing guidance. Lessor accounting is also largely unchanged from existing guidance. ASU 2016-02 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (excluding equity method investments and investments that are consolidated) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value may be measured at cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes. The ASU also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments, eliminates the disclosure of the assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at cost on the balance sheet and requires the exit price to be used when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Under ASU 2016-01, changes in fair value (resulting from instrument-specific credit risk) will be presented separately in other comprehensive income for liabilities measured using the fair value option and financial assets and liabilities will be presented separately by measurement category and type either on the balance sheet or in the financial statement disclosures. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-01 will have on its financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 requires the recognition of adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The effects of the adjustments to provisional amounts on depreciation, amortization or other income effects should be recognized in current-period earnings as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Disclosure of the portion of the adjustment recorded in current-period earnings that would have been reported in prior reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized at the acquisition date is also required. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-16. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not materially affect the Company's financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 requires companies to measure inventory (valued using first-in, first-out or average cost methods) at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The measurement of inventory valued using the last-in, first-out method is unchanged. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not materially affect the Company's financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest." ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in the ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU 2015-03 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligations. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosure to enhance the understanding about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is also required. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing." ASU 2016-10 clarifies the following two aspects of ASU

39


2014-09: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. The effective date of ASU 2016-10 is the same as the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 will have on its financial statements.

Acquisitions and Deconsolidation of Subsidiary
Acquisitions - During 2016, the Company completed two acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $48 million. Total purchase price for the two acquisitions was approximately $71 million in cash and $2 million in assumed debt.
During 2015, the Company completed four acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $27 million. Total purchase price for the four acquisitions was approximately $27 million in cash.
During 2014, the Company completed three acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $14 million. Total purchase price for the three acquisitions was approximately $19 million in cash.
The results of operations for all acquisitions are included as of the respective dates of acquisition. The initial purchase price allocation and subsequent purchase price adjustments for acquisitions in 2016, 2015 and 2014 are presented below. Some of the 2016 acquisitions are still subject to purchase price adjustments.

Deconsolidation of Subsidiary - During 2014, the Company and GE Aviation, a non-related party, finalized a joint venture in which the Company sold a 50 percent equity interest in one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The sale of the 50 percent equity interest in the wholly-owned subsidiary resulted in a loss of control of the subsidiary, and therefore it was deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements during 2014.

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $413 million on the deconsolidation, measured as the fair value of the consideration received for the 50 percent equity interest in the former subsidiary and the fair value of the retained investment less the carrying amount of the former subsidiary's net assets. Approximately $186 million of the pre-tax gain is attributable to the remeasurement of the retained investment in the former subsidiary to its current fair value. The gain is reflected in the (gain)loss on disposal of assets caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information.

The charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's Simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures, with the majority of charges incurred in Europe and North America. In connection with a plant closure during 2016, the Company recognized an expense associated with enhanced retirement benefits (refer to Note 10 for further discussion). The Company believes the realignment actions taken will positively impact future results of operations, but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

As of June 30, 2016, approximately $55 million in severance payments have been made relating to charges incurred during 2016, the remainder of which are expected to be paid by March 31, 2017. Severance payments relating to prior-year actions are being made as required. Remaining severance payments related to current-year and prior-year actions of approximately $40 million are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the realignment actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets of $326,707 resulting from $1,145,475 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $313,554 related to the loss carryforwards has been established due to the uncertainty of their realization. Of this valuation allowance, $288,515 relates to non-operating entities whose loss carryforward utilization is considered to be remote. Some of the loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely; others can be carried forward from three to 20 years. In addition, a valuation allowance of $19,154 related to future deductible items has been established due to the uncertainty of their realization. These future deductible items are recorded in the other liabilities and reserves line in the table above.
Provision has not been made for additional U.S. or foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of certain international operations as those earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes, that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings. Accumulated undistributed earnings reinvested in international operations amounted to approximately $3,200,000 at June 30, 2016.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $80,722, $83,471 and $71,898 as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. If recognized, a significant portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2016 would be offset against an asset currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $12,357, $9,514 and $8,198 as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $100,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is open to assessment of its federal income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for years after 2011, and its state and local tax returns for years after 2006. The Company is open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for years after 2007.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards. The computation of net income per share was as follows:

For 2016, 2015 and 2014, 3.1 million, 1.1 million and 1.2 million common shares, respectively, subject to stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

Inventories
The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method and the balance of the Company's inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. Inventories valued by the FIFO cost method are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories valued by the LIFO cost method are stated at lower of cost or market.
Inventories valued on the LIFO cost method were approximately 30 percent of total inventories in 2016 and 32 percent of total inventories in 2015. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $200,247 in 2016 and $206,233 in 2015. Progress payments of $51,104 in 2016 and $34,820 in 2015 are netted against inventories.

Acquisitions represent the original goodwill allocation, purchase price adjustments and final adjustments to the purchase price allocation for the acquisitions during the measurement period subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates. The impact of the purchase price adjustments and final adjustments to the purchase price allocation on the Company's results of operations and financial position were immaterial.

In 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company's updated strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD's goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140,334. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses with each valuation method having equal weight. Fair value calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including a risk-adjusted interest rate and future sales and operating margin levels.

The Company's annual impairment tests performed in 2016, 2015 and 2014 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful life. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible asset at June 30 are as follows:

Total intangible amortization expense in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $108,019, $109,887 and $118,782, respectively. Estimated intangible amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2017 through 2021 is $95,873, $91,902, $85,091, $78,297 and $70,252, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. In 2014, in connection with the goodwill impairment review of EPD, the Company determined that certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, were impaired resulting in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $43,664. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets were determined using an income approach for the individual intangible assets. Fair value calculated using an income approach is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including future sales and operating margins expected to be generated from the use of the individual intangible asset.

Financing Arrangements
The Company has a line of credit totaling $2,000,000 through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, $1,696,300 of which was available at June 30, 2016. The credit agreement expires in October 2017; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which may increase in the event the Company's credit ratings are lowered. Although a lowering of the Company's credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company's ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.
The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,850,000 of short-term commercial paper notes. At June 30, 2016, $303,700 of commercial paper notes were outstanding and no commercial paper notes were outstanding at June 30, 2015.
In addition to commercial paper notes, notes payable includes short-term lines of credit and borrowings from foreign banks. At June 30, 2016, the Company had $64,310 in lines of credit from various foreign banks, none of which was outstanding at June 30, 2016. Most of these agreements are renewed annually. The weighted-average interest rate on notes payable during 2016 was 0.3 percent and was 0.2 percent during 2015.
The Company's foreign locations in the ordinary course of business may enter into financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.
The Company's credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements. At the Company's present rating level, the most restrictive covenant contained in the credit agreements and the indentures provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of June 30, 2016, the Company does not have any secured debt outstanding. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) is on a debit (credit) basis and excludes the effect of income taxes.
During 2016, the Company provided enhanced retirement benefits in connection with a plant closure, which resulted in an increase in net pension benefit cost of $7,088. During 2015, the Company initiated a voluntary retirement program under which certain participants in its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan were offered enhanced retirement benefits, which resulted in an increase in net pension benefit cost of $21,174.

During 2015, the Company offered lump-sum distributions to certain participants in its U.S. qualified defined benefit plan. Included in benefits paid in 2015 is $81,496, related to participants who elected to receive lump-sum distributions.
The estimated amount of net actuarial loss, prior service cost and transition obligation that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) into net periodic benefit pension cost in 2017 is $200,725, $6,579 and $19, respectively.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $4,884,985 and $4,451,047 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $5,211,768, $4,796,860 and $3,206,287, respectively, at June 30, 2016, and $4,761,438, $4,352,369 and $3,129,803, respectively, at June 30, 2015. The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $5,310,979 and $3,302,370, respectively, at June 30, 2016, and $4,821,675 and $3,188,293, respectively, at June 30, 2015.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $306 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2017, the majority of which relate to its U.S. qualified defined benefit plan. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2017 through 2021 are $239,898, $220,006, $224,569, $248,085 and $272,250, respectively and $1,381,405 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2025.

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same estimated time period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return of the various asset classes in the plans' portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

Beginning in 2017, the Company will change the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash outflows. Previously, these cost components were determined using a single-weighted average discount rate. This change does not affect the measurement of the Company benefit obligation.
The weighted-average allocation of the majority of the assets related to defined benefit plans is as follows:

The weighted-average target asset allocation as of June 30, 2016 is 41 percent equity securities, 47 percent debt securities and 12 percent other investments. The investment strategy for the Company's worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk in order to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit requirements. This strategy requires investment portfolios that are broadly diversified across various asset classes and external investment managers. Assets held in the U.S. defined benefit plans account for approximately 73 percent of the Company's total defined benefit plan assets. The Company's overall investment strategy with respect to the Company's U.S. defined benefit plans is to opportunistically migrate from its traditional mix between

growth seeking assets (primarily consisting of global public equities in developed and emerging countries and hedge fund of fund strategies) and income generating assets (primarily consisting of high quality bonds, both domestic and global, emerging market bonds, high yield bonds and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) to an allocation more heavily weighted toward income generating assets. Over time, long duration fixed income assets are being added to the portfolio. These securities are highly correlated with the Company's pension liabilities and will serve to hedge a portion of the Company's interest rate risk.
The fair values of pension plan assets at June 30, 2016 and at June 30, 2015, by asset class, are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, which include repurchase agreements and other short-term investments, are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. U.S. based companies include Company stock with a fair value of $143,652 as of June 30, 2016 and $154,660 as of June 30, 2015.
Fixed income securities are valued using both market observable inputs for similar assets that are traded on an active market and the closing price on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
Mutual funds are valued using the closing market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset value per share and primarily consist of equity and fixed income funds. The equity funds primarily provide exposure to U.S. and international equities, real estate and commodities. The fixed income funds primarily provide exposure to high-yield securities and emerging market fixed income instruments. Mutual funds measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Common/Collective trusts primarily consist of equity and fixed income funds and are valued using the closing market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset value per share. Common/Collective trust investments can be redeemed daily and without restriction. Redemption of the entire investment balance generally requires a 30-day notice period. The equity funds provide exposure to large, mid and small cap U.S. equities, international large and small cap equities and emerging market equities. The fixed income funds provide exposure to U.S., international and emerging market debt securities. Common/Collective trusts measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Limited Partnerships primarily consist of hedge funds valued using a net asset value per share and provide exposure to a variety of hedging strategies including long/short equity, relative value, event driven and global macro.

51


Miscellaneous primarily includes real estate funds, insurance contracts held in the asset portfolio of the Company's non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, and net payables for securities purchased but not settled in the asset portfolio of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Insurance contracts are valued at the present value of future cash flows promised under the terms of the insurance contracts.
The primary investment objective of equity securities and equity funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to obtain capital appreciation in an amount that at least equals various market-based benchmarks. The primary investment objective of fixed income securities and fixed income funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to provide for a constant stream of income while preserving capital. The primary investment objective of limited partnerships is to achieve capital appreciation through an investment program focused on specialized investment strategies. The primary investment objective of insurance contracts, included in the miscellaneous asset class, is to provide a stable rate of return over a specified period of time.
Employee Savings Plan - The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of its existing savings and investment 401(k) plan. The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees. Company matching contributions, up to a maximum of four percent of an employee's annual compensation, are recorded as compensation expense. Prior to August 1, 2014, Company stock was used to match employee contributions. Effective August 1, 2014, participants may direct company matching contributions to any investment option within the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2016, employees have elected to invest in 2,317,924 shares of common stock within a company stock fund of the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

The Company has a retirement income account (RIA) within the employee savings plan. The Company makes a cash contribution to the participant's RIA each year, the amount of which is based on the participant's age and years of service. Participants do not contribute to the RIA. The Company recognized $25,780, $29,570 and $25,247 in expense related to the RIA in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other Postretirement Benefits - The Company provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and eligible dependents. Most plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plans are unfunded and pay stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses incurred by retirees, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met. For most plans, the Company has established cost maximums to more effectively control future medical costs. The Company has reserved the right to change these benefit plans.
The Company recognized $8,754, $4,340 and $4,478 in expense related to other postretirement benefits in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2016, the Company provided enhanced retirement benefits in connection with a plant closure, which resulted in an increase in expense related to other postretirement benefits of $4,521.

The discount rate assumption used to measure the benefit obligation was 3.15 percent in 2016 and 3.96 percent in 2015.
Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2017 through 2021 are $6,216, $6,796, $6,717, $6,349 and $6,287, respectively, and $27,882 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2025.
A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material effect on the benefit cost or benefit obligation.

Other - The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs, which permit officers, directors and certain management employees annually to elect to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement. The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred, Company matching contributions and earnings on the deferrals. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to deferred compensation of $(2,917), $5,676 and $24,549, respectively.
The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs. The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

Stock Incentive Plans
The Company's 2009 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of share-based incentive awards in the form of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted and unrestricted stock to officers and key employees of the Company. The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan is 14.7 million. At June 30, 2016, 3.4 million common shares were reserved for issuance in connection with stock incentive plans.
The Company satisfies share-based incentive award obligations by issuing shares of common stock out of treasury, which have been repurchased pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program described in Note 11, or through the issuance of previously unissued common stock.
Stock Options/SARs - Stock options allow the participant to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the participant to receive shares of common stock equal to the increase in value of the award between the grant date and the exercise date. Stock options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than 10 years after grant.
The fair value of each stock option and SAR award granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term similar to the expected life of the award. The expected life of the award was derived by referring to actual exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company's historical dividend rate and stock price over a period similar to the expected life of the award. The expected volatility of stock was derived by referring to changes in the Company's historical common stock prices over a time-frame similar to the expected life of the award.

The related tax benefit is credited to additional capital as the Company is currently in a windfall tax benefit position.
Shares surrendered upon exercise of stock options and SARs: 2016 - 158,808; 2015 - 243,799; 2014 - 775,163.

RSUs - RSUs constitute an agreement to deliver shares of common stock to the participant at the end of a vesting period. Generally, the RSUs vest and the underlying stock is issued ratably over a three-year graded vesting period. Unvested RSUs may not be transferred and do not have dividend or voting rights. For each unvested RSU, recipients are entitled to receive a dividend equivalent, payable in cash or common shares, equal to the cash dividend per share paid to common shareholders.
The fair value of each RSU award granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. A summary of the status and changes of shares subject to RSU awards and the related average price per share follows:

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Shareholders' Right for each common share outstanding on February 17, 2007 in relation to the Company's Shareholders Protection Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, 134,012,232 common shares were reserved for issuance under this Agreement. Under certain conditions involving acquisition of, or an offer for, 15 percent or more of the Company's common shares, all holders of Shareholders' Rights would be entitled to purchase one common share at an exercise price currently set at $160. In addition, in certain circumstances, all holders of Shareholders' Rights (other than the acquiring entity) would be entitled to purchase a number of common shares equal to twice the exercise price, or at the option of the Board of Directors, to exchange each Shareholders' Right for one common share. The Shareholders' Rights remain in existence until February 17, 2017, unless extended by the Board of Directors or earlier redeemed (at one cent per Shareholders' Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the agreement. In the event of an unfriendly business combination attempt, the Shareholders' Rights will cause substantial dilution to the person attempting the business combination. The Shareholders' Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination that is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders since the Shareholders' Rights may be redeemed.

Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.
Marketable securities and other investments include deposits, which are recorded at cost, and investments classified as available-for-sale, which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Gross unrealized gains and losses were not material as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. Substantially all of the available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position have been in that position for less than 12 months. There were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than temporary.
The contractual maturities of available-for-sale investments at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

The fair value of long-term debt was determined based on observable market prices in the active market in which the security is traded and is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company’s Euro bonds, which matured in November 2015, and Japanese Yen credit facility have each been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.

The cross-currency swap and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.
Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The costless collar contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.
Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income during 2016, 2015 and 2014 were not material.

The fair values of the equity securities, government bonds, corporate bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded or the market price for similar assets that are traded in an active market.
Derivatives consist of forward exchange, costless collar and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The calculation of fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model that has been adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.
Investments measured at net asset value primarily consist of investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. These investments have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are presented in the table above is to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has the ability to liquidate these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.
The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis. Fair values are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy when facts and circumstances indicate that a change in the method of estimating the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability is warranted.


16.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on product liability claims, workers' compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. The Company is self-insured in the United States for health care, workers' compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and the established accruals for liabilities. While the outcome of pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Environmental - The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites.








60


As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an accrual of $15,152 for environmental matters, which are probable and reasonably estimable. The accrual is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties.
The Company's estimated total liability for environmental matters ranges from a minimum of $15.2 million to a maximum of $80.6 million. The largest range for any one site is approximately $7.6 million. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of contamination and required remedial action, negotiations with governmental authorities with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technologies, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or other third-party recoveries.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, we used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” We concluded that based on our assessment, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, which is included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Such dividends shall be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series.

3.    So long as any Serial Preferred Stock is outstanding, no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made except as aforesaid on the Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation (except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock received by the Corporation subsequent to June 30, 1967):

In case less than all of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by its Board of Directors.

If the holders of shares of Serial Preferred Stock which shall have been called for redemption shall not, within six years after such deposit, claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

(c)    Any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which are redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this section 4 of this Division A and any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which are purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series and any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which are converted in accordance with their express terms shall be cancelled and not reissued.

In case the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

__________________________________________________________________



After payment to holders of Serial Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, holders of Serial Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

(b)    The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into it, or the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation for the purposes of this Section 5 of this Division A.

6.    (a)    The holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock upon all matters presented to shareholders; and, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of Serial Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters.

If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) on any series of Serial Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, the holders of Serial Preferred Stock of all series voting separately as a class and in addition to all other rights to vote for Directors shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of shares of Serial Preferred Stock shall not have or exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of the shareholders for the election of Directors at which the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock of all series are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for herein when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Serial Preferred Stock of all series then outstanding shall have been paid, whereupon the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of Directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event hereinabove specified in this section 6(a).

In the event of default entitling the holders of Serial Preferred Stock to elect two Directors as above specified, a special meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of electing such Directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the shares of Serial Preferred Stock of all series at the time outstanding, and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Serial Preferred Stock. At any meeting at which the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect Directors, the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock of all series, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which the holders of Serial Preferred Stock are entitled to elect as hereinbefore provided.

(b)    The vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote separately as a class, shall be necessary to effect any one or more of the following (but so far as the holders of Serial Preferred Stock are concerned, such action may be effected with such vote or consent):

(i)    Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Serial Preferred Stock; provided, however, that for the purpose of this clause (i) only, neither the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation to authorize, or to increase the authorized or outstanding number of shares of, Serial Preferred Stock or of any shares of any class ranking on a parity with or junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, nor the increase by the shareholders pursuant to the Code of Regulations of the number of Directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Serial Preferred Stock; and provided further, that if such amendment, alteration or repeal affects adversely the rights or preferences of one or more but not all then outstanding series of Serial Preferred Stock, only the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the number of the then outstanding shares of the series so affected shall be required;

(ii)    The authorization of, or the increase in the authorized number of, any shares of any class ranking prior to the Serial Preferred Stock; or

(iii)    The purchase or redemption (whether for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) of less than all the then outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock except in accordance with a purchase offer made to all holders of record of Serial Preferred Stock, unless all dividends on all Serial Preferred Stock then outstanding for all previous quarterly dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable to all Serial Preferred Stock shall have been complied with.

(c)    The vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote separately as a class, shall be necessary (but so far as the holders of Serial Preferred Stock are concerned such action may be effected with such vote or consent) to authorize any shares ranking on a parity with the Serial Preferred Stock or an increase in the authorized number of shares of Serial Preferred Stock.

Subject to potential reduction as set forth in Section 4.B and further subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan, the full number of Maximum Shares granted to a Participant with respect to a Performance Period shall be earned as of the last day of such Performance Period, provided that (i) following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee has certified that the Company has achieved either (a) average Return on Average Equity of 4% during the Performance Period, or (b) average Free Cash Flow Margin of 4% during the Performance Period; and (ii) the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company and its Affiliates through the last day of the Performance Period.

B.    Committee Discretion to Reduce Long-Term Incentive Awards. Notwithstanding Section 4.A, the actual number of shares of Common Stock payable to a Participant with respect to a Performance Period may be reduced (including a reduction to zero) by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion based on such factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate, including, without limitation, the Company's performance with respect to the performance measures (the "Peer Performance Measures") set out below, with the number of a Participant's Target Shares under an Award Opportunity allocated to each of the Peer Performance Measures in proportion to the percentages set out below. The Peer Performance Measures shall be determined for the Company at the conclusion of the Performance Period, in comparison to the performance of the members of the Company's Peer Group, determined for each member of the Peer Group based on its performance at the conclusion of the three fiscal year period of such company ending with or immediately prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period:

Peer Performance Measure:
Weight:
Revenue Growth
20%
Earnings Per Share Growth
40%
Average Return on Invested Capital
40%
  
It is the intention of the Committee that the Committee will exercise its discretion as it deems appropriate to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to a Participant with respect to each Performance Period based upon the Company's percentile ranking among the members of the Peer Group with respect to each Peer Performance Measure in accordance with the following table; provided, however, that the Committee reserves the right to deviate from such approach and may exercise its discretion to reduce the number shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to a Participant with respect to each Performance Period, if any, based on such other factors as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be appropriate:

Company Percentile Ranking Among Peer Group:
% of Allocable Target Shares Earned:
75th percentile or higher
200%
50th percentile
100% (Target Shares)
35th percentile
50%
lower than 35th percentile
0%

To the extent that the Company's percentile ranking among the members of the Peer Group with respect to a Peer Performance Measure is between the 35th and the 50th percentile, or between the 50th and the 75th percentile, it is currently intended that the Committee will exercise its discretion to determine the appropriate percentage of the allocable Target Shares that are earned by straight-line interpolation between the percentages set out in the table above.

5.    Payment of Long-Term Incentive Bonuses. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, during the fourth month following the end of the applicable Performance Period and following the certification of the achievement of the management objectives in accordance with Section 4.A., the Company shall deliver to each Participant the shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Committee has determined (in accordance with Section 4) to be payable with respect to any Award Opportunity.

6.    Terminations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 or Section 7, a Participant must remain continuously employed by the Company and its Affiliates through the last day of a Performance Period in order to be entitled to receive payment of any Long-Term Incentive Bonus pursuant to this Plan for such Performance Period.
A.    Qualifying Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment during a Performance Period due to a Qualifying Retirement with respect to such Performance Period, the Participant will be entitled to receive the Award Opportunity, if any, that the Committee determines (in accordance with Section 4) to be payable for such Performance Period, as if the Participant had remained continuously employed through the end of the Performance Period. Any such Award Opportunity will be payable at the time provided in Section 5, following the certification of the achievement of the management objectives by the Committee in accordance with Section 4.A.
B.    Death, Disability, Termination Without Cause, Other Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment during a Performance Period due to death, Disability, termination of employment by the Company without Cause, or Other Retirement, the Participant will be entitled to receive a prorated Long-Term Incentive Bonus for that Performance Period equal to the product of the amount of the Award Opportunity, if any, determined to be payable by the Committee pursuant to Section 4 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full quarters of continuous employment during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is 12. Any such prorated bonus will be payable at the time provided in Section 5, following the certification of the achievement of the management objectives by the Committee in accordance with Section 4.A.

C.    Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment during a Performance Period for any reason other than Qualifying Retirement, Other Retirement, death, Disability, or termination of employment by the Company without Cause, the Participant will forfeit his or her Award Opportunity for such Performance Period, without any further action or notice.

7.    Change in Control.

A.    In General. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) of the Company during a Performance Period, each Participant then holding an outstanding Award Opportunity granted under this Plan for such Performance Period shall receive payment of his or her Award Opportunity as follows: (a) within fifteen (15) days following the date of the Change in Control, each such Participant shall receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Target Shares subject to such Award Opportunity; and (b) within forty-five (45) days after the date of such Change in Control, each such Participant shall receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be payable in accordance with Section 4 if the Company had achieved the management objectives described in Section 4.A for the Performance Period, the Committee had exercised its discretion to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock payable in accordance with Section 4.B based upon the Company's percentile ranking among the Peer Group with respect to the Peer Performance Measures as described therein, and the Company’s percentile ranking among the Peer Group for each of those Peer Performance Measures during the Performance Period through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control continued throughout the Performance Period at the same level; over (ii) the number of Target Shares subject to such Award Opportunity.

B.    Anticipatory Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Change in Control is deemed to occur during the Performance Period under the Stock Incentive Plan as a result of a Participant's termination of employment prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control ("Anticipatory Termination"), such Participant shall receive payment of his or her Award Opportunity with respect to such Performance Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.A, applied as if such Participant had terminated employment due to a Qualifying Retirement on the date of such Anticipatory Termination; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs after such Anticipatory Termination and prior to payment of such Award Opportunity, such Participant shall receive payment of his or her Award Opportunity as follows: (a) within fifteen (15) days following such Change in Control, such Participant shall receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Target Shares subject to such Award Opportunity; and (b) within forty-five (45) days after the date of such Change in Control, such Participant shall receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the greater of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be payable in accordance with Section 4 if the Company had achieved the management objectives described in Section 4.A for the Performance Period, the Committee had exercised its discretion to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock payable in accordance with Section 4.B based upon the Company's percentile ranking among the Peer Group with respect to the Peer Performance Measures as described therein, and the Company’s percentile ranking among the Peer Group for each of those Peer Performance Measures during the Performance Period through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the Anticipatory Termination had continued throughout the Performance Period at the same level, or (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been payable in accordance with Section 4 if the Company had achieved the management objectives described in Section 4.A for the Performance Period, the Committee had exercised its discretion to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.B based upon the Company's percentile ranking among the Peer Group with respect to the Peer Performance Measures as described therein, and the Company’s percentile ranking among the Peer Group for each of those Peer Performance Measures during the Performance Period through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the subsequent Change in Control had continued throughout the Performance Period at the same level; over (ii) the number of Target Shares subject to such Award Opportunity.

8.    Promotions and New Hires. With respect to a Participant who is newly hired or is promoted by the Company during a Performance Period, the Committee shall grant an Award Opportunity, or adjust an Award Opportunity previously granted, to such Participant for such Performance Period pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8; provided, however, that no Award Opportunity shall be granted or adjusted in such a manner as to cause any Long-Term Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan to fail to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

A.    Pro-Rated Award Opportunities for Newly-Eligible Executives. A Participant who is granted an Award Opportunity more than 90 days after the beginning of the Performance Period, either because the Participant is a newly hired Eligible Officer or is promoted into an Eligible Officer position, will be granted an Award Opportunity under the Plan for such Performance Period based on the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares established by the Committee during the first 90 days of the Performance Period for the Participant's grade level, with the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares pro-rated based on the ratio of the number of full quarters remaining in the Performance Period on and after the date of hire or promotion (as applicable) to the total number of quarters in the Performance Period. For any salary grade created between the salary grades for which the Committee has established the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares as described above, straight-line interpolation shall be used to determine the pro-rated number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares in accordance with this Section 8.A.

B.    Adjustments to Outstanding Award Opportunities. If a Participant is promoted after the beginning of a Performance Period, the Participant's outstanding Award Opportunity granted for such Performance Period will be adjusted, effective as of the date of such promotion, based on the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares established by the Committee during the first 90 days of the Performance Period for the Participant's grade level. The adjustments to each such Participant's Award Opportunity shall be pro-rated on a quarterly basis, with the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares for the Participant's original position applicable for the number of full quarters preceding the effective date of the promotion and the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares for the Participant's new position applicable for the remaining number of quarters in the Performance Period. For any salary grade created between the salary grades for which the Committee has established the number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares as described above, straight-line interpolation shall be used to determine the pro-rated number of Maximum Shares and Target Shares in accordance with this Section 8.B.

C.    Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, the Committee retains the discretion to reduce the amount of any Long-Term Incentive Bonus, including a reduction of such amount to zero. By way of illustration, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine (i) not to grant a pro-rated Award Opportunity pursuant to Section 8.A above, (ii) not to adjust an outstanding Award Opportunity pursuant to Section 8.B above, (iii) to grant a pro-rated Award Opportunity in a smaller amount than would otherwise be provided by Section 8.A above, or (iv) to adjust an outstanding Award Opportunity to produce a smaller Long-Term Incentive Award than would otherwise be provided by Section 8.B above.

9.    Plan Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for administration of the Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions of the Plan, the Performance Bonus Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan. Determinations, interpretations or other actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all Participants, Eligible Officers, Beneficiaries and all other persons who have or claim an interest herein. The Committee may, in its discretion, but only to the extent permitted by 162(m) of the Code and applicable law, delegate to one or more directors or employees of the Company any of the Committee’s authority under the Plan. The acts of any such delegates shall be treated under this Plan as acts of the Committee with respect to any matters so delegated, and any reference to the Committee in the Plan shall be deemed a reference to any such delegates with respect to any matters so delegated.

10.     Tax Withholding. Each Participant is responsible for any federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes with respect to any Long-Term Incentive Bonus payable under the Plan. To the extent the Company is required to withhold any federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes in connection with the delivery of Common Stock under this Plan, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, (a) retain a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable hereunder with a value equal to the required withholding (based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) of the Common Stock on the applicable date), (b) facilitate a sale of shares of Common Stock payable pursuant to the Award Opportunity to cover such tax withholding obligation, or (c) apply any other withholding method determined by the Company; provided that in no event shall the value of the shares of Common Stock retained exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld or such other amount that will not result in a negative accounting impact.

11.     Unfunded Plan. Each Award Opportunity granted under this Plan represents only a contingent right to receive all or a portion of the number of Maximum Shares granted subject to the terms and conditions of the Notice of Award, the Plan, the Performance Bonus Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant's claim of any right to payment of a Long-Term Incentive Bonus other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled under this Plan.

12.     Rights of Employer. Neither anything contained in this Plan nor any action taken under this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant or Eligible Officer any right to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate.

13.    Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, and these benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Company, a Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (both primary and contingent) to receive, in the event of the Participant's death, any shares of Common Stock remaining to be delivered with respect to the Participant under the Plan. The Participant shall have the right to revoke any such designation and to re-designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in such manner as may be prescribed by the Company.

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

15.     Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Opportunities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

16.     Amendment or Termination. The Committee reserves the right, at any time, without either the consent of, or any prior notification to, any Participant, Eligible Officer or other person, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Award Opportunity granted thereunder, in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any reason; provided that any such amendment shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and provided further that any such amendment shall not, after the end of the 90-day period described in Section 3 of the Plan, cause the amount payable under an Award Opportunity to be increased as compared to the amount that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established as of the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan following a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) may adversely affect in a material way any Award Opportunity that was outstanding on the date of the Change in Control, without the consent of the affected Participant.

17.    Claw-back Policy. Each Award Opportunity granted, and each Long-Term Incentive Bonus paid, pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Claw-back Policy.

18.     Section 409A of the Code. It is the Company's intent that each Long-Term Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code under the "short-term deferral" exception set out in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. The Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.
19.    Plan and Performance Bonus Plan Terms Control. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any Notice of Award and the terms and conditions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any Notice of Award or of this Plan and the terms and conditions of the Performance Bonus Plan, the terms and conditions of the Performance Bonus Plan shall prevail to the extent necessary for Long-Term Incentive Bonuses paid under this Plan to qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any Notice of Award and the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Plan, the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Plan shall prevail.

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

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

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

23.    Consent to Transfer Personal Data. By acknowledging an Award Opportunity, each Participant will voluntarily acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this Section 23. Participants are not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data.

A Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing such consent may affect the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Corporate Change 409A Event would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall then occur.

(g)
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, (i) the amounts described in Section 2(a)(i)(B) and Section 2(d)(ii) of this Agreement shall be paid as a lump sum only if (A) the Date of Termination occurs within two years following a Corporate Change 409A Event, or (B) to the extent that payment in a lump sum is otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
(h)
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, in the event that the Executive is a Specified Employee upon the Date of Termination, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under this Agreement following the Date of Termination and not on account of the Executive’s Disability shall be paid or provided to the Executive on the first day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination.
3.    Section 280G.

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Grade 29 & Above)    12
608514240.5


(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 3, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the “Net Benefit” (as defined below) to the Executive of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes.
(b)
Any such reduction of Covered Payments under Section 3(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
(iii)
the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first; and
(iv)
all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments, (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (based on the reverse order of the date of grant) before reduction of welfare benefits, and (C) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date.
(c)
All determinations required to be made under this Section 3 shall be made by such professional consulting firm engaged by the Company from time to time as its independent consultant (the “Consulting Firm”). The Consulting Firm shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, both to the Company and the Executive (collectively, the “Determination”). In the event that the Consulting Firm is serving as a consultant for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall prior to the Change in Control appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determination required under this Agreement (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Consulting Firm under this Agreement). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Consulting Firm shall be borne by the Company. The Determination by the Consulting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive (except as provided in Subsection (d) below).
(d)
If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that payments have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Executive by the Company that are in the aggregate more than the amount provided under this Section 3 (hereinafter referred

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Grade 29 & Above)    13
608514240.5


to as an “Overpayment”), then the Executive shall pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7372(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the date of the Executive’s receipt of the Overpayment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the determination, it is possible that payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Section 3. In the event that it is determined: (i) by the Consulting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS; or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall promptly pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Executive, and in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive until the date of payment.
4.    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.
5.    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 within 10 years after the Date of Termination in connection with such contest or dispute (regardless of the result thereof), together with interest in an amount equal to the prime rate of Key Bank 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. The Company’s reimbursement of the Executive’s legal fees and expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such legal fees and expenses are incurred. The amount of legal fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the amount of legal fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement during any other calendar year, and the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
6.    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, (iii) the Executive’s Disability, or (iv) the Executive’s termination of employment following the Termination Period.
7.    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

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Grade 29 & Above)    14
608514240.5


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.
8.    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.
9.    Successors’ Binding Obligation.
(a)
This Agreement shall not be terminated by any Business Combination or transfer of assets. In the event of any Business Combination 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)
The Company agrees that concurrently with any Business Combination 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 Business Combination 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 Business Combination 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.
(c)
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 (the “Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries”) or, if no person is so appointed, to the Executive’s estate.
10.    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:

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.
11.    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.

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.
14.    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.

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.

This Agreement will be administered in a manner consistent with all applicable requirements of the Act, Section 409A of the Code and the Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect.

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 stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Board (as defined in Section 1) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders 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 (as defined in Section 1); and
WHEREAS, the Board 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:

608678459.1


including the Executive, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such entity’s outstanding voting interests); or (F) the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, if a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (F) does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (i);
(ii)
individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;
(iii)
the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a “Business Combination”), unless (A) immediately following such Business Combination: (1) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (2) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Incumbent Board at

608678459.1


the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (a “Non-Control Transaction”) or (B) the Business Combination is effected by means of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (iii); or
(iv)
the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated 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 (a “Third Party”) (such a termination of employment an “Anticipatory Termination”), then for all purposes of this Agreement except with respect to benefits under Sections 2(a)(i)(B) and 2(d)(ii) that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the date immediately prior to the date of such Anticipatory Termination shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control.
(f)
“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute, and regulations or other guidance issued thereunder. 
(g)
“Company” means Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation.

(i)
A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Below Grade 29)    4
608678459.1


(within the meaning of Section 1(h)(ii) of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Corporate Change 409A Event would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall then occur.
(ii)
A change in effective control of the Company, which occurs on either of the following dates:
(A)
The date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1(h)(i) of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Corporate Change 409A Event would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Corporate Change 409A Event shall then occur.
(B)
The date that a majority of the Company’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election was not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of such appointment or election.
(iii)

The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities associated with such assets.

deemed to occur if the Company and the Executive reasonably anticipate that the level of bona fide services the Executive will perform for the Affiliated Group after a certain date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Executive for the Affiliated Group (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services performed for the Affiliated Group if the Executive has been providing services to the Affiliated Group for less than 36 months). In the event of a disposition of assets by the Company to an unrelated person, the Company reserves the discretion to specify (in accordance with Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) of the Regulations) whether the Executive, if the Executive would otherwise experience a separation from service with the Company as part of the disposition of assets, will be considered to experience a separation of service for purposes of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Regulations.
(j)

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 right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacitation due to mental or physical illness and 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.

(g)
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, (i) the amounts described in Section 2(a)(i)(B) and Section 2(d)(ii) of this Agreement shall be paid as a lump sum only if (A) the Date of Termination occurs within two years following a Corporate Change 409A Event, or (B) to the extent that payment in a lump sum is otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
(h)

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Below Grade 29)    12
608678459.1


(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 3, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the “Net Benefit” (as defined below) to the Executive of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes.
(b)
Any such reduction of Covered Payments under Section 3(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
(iii)
the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first; and
(iv)
all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments, (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (based on the reverse order of the date of grant) before reduction of welfare benefits, and (C) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date.
(c)
All determinations required to be made under this Section 3 shall be made by such professional consulting firm engaged by the Company from time to time as its independent consultant (the “Consulting Firm”). The Consulting Firm shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, both to the Company and the Executive (collectively, the “Determination”). In the event that the Consulting Firm is serving as a consultant for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall prior to the Change in Control appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determination required under this Agreement (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Consulting Firm under this Agreement). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Consulting Firm shall be borne by the Company. The Determination by the Consulting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive (except as provided in Subsection (d) below).
(d)
If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that payments have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Executive by the Company that are in the aggregate more than the amount provided under this Section 3 (hereinafter referred

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Below Grade 29)    13
608678459.1


to as an “Overpayment”), then the Executive shall pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7372(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the date of the Executive’s receipt of the Overpayment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the determination, it is possible that payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Section 3. In the event that it is determined: (i) by the Consulting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS; or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall promptly pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Executive, and in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive until the date of payment.
4.    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.
5.    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 within 10 years after the Date of Termination in connection with such contest or dispute (regardless of the result thereof), together with interest in an amount equal to the prime rate of Key Bank 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. The Company’s reimbursement of the Executive’s legal fees and expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such legal fees and expenses are incurred. The amount of legal fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the amount of legal fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement during any other calendar year, and the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
6.    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, (iii) the Executive’s Disability, or (iv) the Executive’s termination of employment following the Termination Period.
7.    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

(CIC) Change in Control Severance Agreement (Post 09.01.15 - Below Grade 29)    14

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.

In the event of any Business Combination 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)
The Company agrees that concurrently with any Business Combination 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 Business Combination 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 Business Combination 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.
(c)
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.

10.    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.
11.    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.
12.    Employment with Members of Affiliated Group. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement shall include employment with any member of the Affiliated Group.
13.    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 Ohio without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws.

14.    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.
15.    Miscellaneous.

Exhibit (10)(j)
EXECUTIVE DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN
PARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION
EFFECTIVE April 15, 2007
Revised May 1, 2013



Parker Hannifin Corporation Executive Disability Insurance Plan provides an enhanced disability benefits for key executives in the form of two (2) coverages based on total year-end compensation. For those Executives promoted or hired on or after May 1, 2013 that do not have prior year-end total compensation with Parker, the benefit will be based on annualized salary for the first year.


1. What is the effective date of the plan?

The effective date of the disability package is April 15, 2007.

2. What is the disability benefit provided under the plan?

The Executive Disability program provides a maximum benefit of two-thirds (2/3) of annual compensation up to $595,000. This is a significant increase in your potential benefit, from the prior cap of $8,888 per month to $33,000 per month.
  
The maximum total monthly disability benefit is achieved through the issuance of two (2) separate insurance policies. If your annual compensation is greater than $269,987, you are eligible for both portions of this benefit:
$15,000 Group Long Term Disability (LTD)
$20,000 Individual Disability (IDI) policy - $10,000 of basic monthly benefits and an additional $10,000 monthly catastrophic benefit if you should be disabled from two (2) or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), have a cognitive impairment, or a total permanent disability based on your state of residence when the policy was issued.

3. How long is the coverage effective?

Coverage continues to the last day worked (termination or retirement). For example, if an employee works beyond age 65, coverage would continue through last day worked. Should you become disabled, benefits will continue to age 65 or longer based on the schedule in each contract. Executives who qualified for the individual policy coverage prior to May 1, 2013 have the option to convert the disability plan to a Long Term Care plan between the ages of 60 and 70. Effective May 1, 2013 this provision is no longer available.

4. How often is the benefit updated?

Coverage is reviewed and updated every January. New annual compensation is defined as your base salary plus RONA bonuses paid during the calendar year ending 12/31 of the year prior to your disability. Coverage will be increased based on the 12/31 total compensation provided by Parker Hannifin each January.

5. What are the eligibility requirements?

Eligible participants are those in full time employment in the position of General Manager, Vice President, or a position that is Grade 57 or higher.


6. When does an eligible employee enter the plan?

Effective May 1, 2013, new participants are added to the plan on the first of the month following their hire or promotion date.

7. Who is the insurance carrier for the plan?

Unum Life Insurance Company is the disability carrier for both portions of the benefit.

8. Is a medical questionnaire or examination necessary to participate in the plan?

The insurance coverage is guaranteed issue and not subject to medical exams or questionnaires.

9. How are premiums paid for the coverage?

Parker Hannifin pays all premiums for coverage to retirement or termination. Because the cost of your disability benefit is paid by Parker, it is considered additional compensation, and is taxable to you. You may elect to have this benefit taxed either at the time the premiums are paid on your behalf, or upon your receipt of disability benefits should that occur. When you are enrolled in the plan you will be given the choice to have premiums included in your W-2 earnings for a tax-free benefit, or to have Parker pay your premium and receive a taxable benefit at time of disability. There is a 2-3 year look-back period with IRS so we suggest you discuss your options with your tax advisor.

10. What is the cost of the coverage?

The group LTD coverage is calculated on covered payroll and each Executive receives an annual letter outlining the total benefit and cost. Group LTD is subject to claims experience and may change over time. The individual polices (IDI) are priced according to issue age, smoker status and state of residence.

11. Is the plan portable following termination or retirement?

The group Long Term Disability coverage of 66 2/3% to $15,000 monthly benefit is not portable. Coverage ends at retirement or termination. The individual policies are portable at current premiums as long as you continue to work at least 30 hours per week.

12. Who owns the insurance policy?

The group LTD is a Parker provided benefit. The individual policy is owned by each executive who qualifies.

13. Will annual statements be provided to participants?

Each January after Parker has provided updated total compensation, Oswald Companies, our broker, prepares and e-mails individual letters to each executive. The statement outlines each executive’s specific coverage and quarterly premiums, and their taxation election.

14. Who to contact with questions?

For administration and coverage issues, contact Oswald Companies - Maryann Hudec at 216-367-8830 or [email protected]

The Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall be read to preclude the Plan from using any transition rules permitted under the Act, provided that no action will be permitted with respect to the Grandfathered Amounts that will subject such amounts to Section 409A of the Code.

Exhibit (10)(mm)
PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
PENSION RESTORATION PLAN

Adopted: June 23, 2016
Effective: July 1, 2016

Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), established this Pension Restoration Plan (the "Plan"), originally effective January 1, 1995, for the purpose of attracting high quality executives and promoting in its executives increased efficiency and an interest in the successful operation of the Company by restoring benefits that are lost due to legislative limits on the Company's qualified retirement plan(s). The Plan has been amended and restated from time to time, and underwent significant and comprehensive changes when it was amended and restated as of July 21, 2008 and such other dates as specified herein to reflect the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”). The Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall be read to preclude the Plan from using any transition rules permitted under the Act.

The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of July 1, 2016 to expand the available forms of payment a Participant may initially elect, in the case of retirement benefits payable upon a Termination of Employment occurring on or after the Participant’s Early Retirement Date, to include actuarially equivalent forms of annuity offered under the Qualified Plan.
    
ARTICLE 1DEFINITIONS

1.1.
Actuarial Value shall mean the actuarial present value of the benefits calculated by an actuary selected by the Administrator and using the actuarial assumptions employed under the Qualified Plan.

1.2.
Administrator shall mean the Parker Total Rewards Administration Committee of the Company or, if applicable, the administration subcommittee appointed by the Parker Total Rewards Administration Committee with respect to the Plan.

1.3.
Affiliated Group shall mean the Company and all entities with which the Company would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code, provided that in applying Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, the language "at least 50 percent" is used instead of "at least 80 percent" each place it appears in Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code, and in applying Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, "at least 50 percent" is used instead of "at least 80 percent" each place it appears in that regulation. Such

1

608518762.3


term shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of "service recipient" contained in Section 409A of the Code.

1.4.
Beneficiary shall mean the person or persons or entity designated as such in accordance with Article 10 of the Plan.

1.5.
Change in Control shall mean the occurrence of one of the following events:
(a)
A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.5(b) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company's acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.
(b)
A change in effective control of the Company, which occurs on either of the following dates:
(i)
The date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1.5(a) of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by

2

608518762.3


reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company's acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.
(ii)
The date that a majority of the Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election was not endorsed by a majority of the members of the board prior to the date of such appointment or election.
(c)
A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 65% of the total gross fair market value of all the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall not result in a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets if such transfer is to (i) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) a person or group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company; or (iv) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in Section 1.5(c)(iii) of this Plan.
Notwithstanding Sections 1.5(a), 1.5(b)(i) and 1.5(c) above, the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company's stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a "Business Combination"), shall not be deemed a Change in Control if, immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation") or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by securities of the Company eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities") that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same

3

608518762.3


proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Company's Board at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in Section 1.5(a) or 1.5(b)(i) above shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (a) an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (c) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (d) the acquisition of stock of the Company from the Company.

by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under any accident and health plan covering employees of the Company. The Administrator, in its complete and sole discretion, shall determine a Participant's Disability.

(iii)
Changes by SERP Participants. To the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, if any SERP Participant elects under the SERP to receive payment of his SERP benefit in a form different from that previously in effect for such Participant's retirement benefit under this Plan, the Company shall change the form of payment of such SERP Participant's retirement benefit under this Plan to the form of payment elected by such SERP Participant under the SERP. Any change in the form of payment of a Participant's retirement benefit pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(iii) shall cause the payment of such Participant's retirement benefit under this Plan to be delayed for five years from the date payment would otherwise commence or be made (taking into account any delay in payment or commencement of payment under Section 3.4 on account of a Participant's status as a Specified Employee).
(iv)

9

payment under Section 3.4 of the Plan on account of a Participant's status as a Specified Employee).
(vi)

Benefits Payable Prior to January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3(b), with respect to a Participant's retirement benefit under the Plan that would otherwise be paid as an annuity prior to January 1, 2008, if the Actuarial Value of the benefit payable to the Participant under the Plan as of the date payment is scheduled to commence is less than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), the Company shall pay such benefit in a single lump sum; provided, however, that payment of a retirement benefit to any Specified Employee pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(vi)(A) will be made on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Termination of Employment.
(ii)
Benefits Payable After December 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3(b), effective December 31, 2007 with respect to a Participant's benefit under the Plan that would otherwise be paid as an annuity after December 31, 2007, if the aggregate of the Actuarial Value of all remaining benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan and the present value of all other remaining benefits under the SERP and any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that is aggregated with the Plan and the SERP under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Regulations as of the date payment is scheduled to commence is not greater than the applicable dollar amount in effect on such date under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, the Company shall pay the retirement benefit under the Plan in a single lump sum; provided, however, that payment of a retirement benefit to any Specified Employee pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(vi)(B) will be made on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Termination of Employment.
3.4.
Time of Payment of Retirement Benefits. Payment of a Participant's retirement benefit shall commence or shall be made as of the first of the month following the Participant's Termination of Employment; provided, however, that payment of retirement benefits to any Specified Employee will commence or be made on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Termination of Employment based on the Participant’s age and actuarial assumptions in effect on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment and in the case of payments paid in any form of annuity shall include any payments that would have been made between the Participant's Termination of Employment and the actual date of commencement of payment if the Participant had not been a Specified Employee.

If a Specified Employee dies after Termination of Employment but prior to commencement of benefits, the Specified Employee’s Beneficiary shall receive a payment as of the first of the month following the Specified Employee’s date of death equal to the aggregate of the monthly payments that would have been made to the Specified Employee in accordance with Section 3.4 but substituting the Specified Employee’s date of death for the actual date of commencement of payment; provided however that if the Specified Employee’s retirement benefit is payable in the form of a lump sum, such amount shall be calculated as of the Specified Employee’s Termination of Employment and paid on the first of the month following the Specified Employee’s date of death. Any additional amounts payable to the Specified Employee’s Beneficiary shall be determined in accordance with the form of payment applicable to the Specified Employee as of the Specified Employee’s Termination of Employment.

Benefits in Foreign Currency. To the extent that a Participant’s retirement benefit under this Plan is calculated with reference to a benefit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars and payable over the Participant’s life expectancy, then for purposes of determining the retirement benefit payable under this Plan, such benefit shall be converted to the U.S. Dollar equivalent based on the Foreign Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Plan, the Foreign Exchange Rate means the fixed exchange rate derived from the two-point average of the Bid/Asked spread of the market implied forward exchange rates as calculated by Bloomberg's FRD function, or its successor function on the same or comparable financial information system, determined on a weighted average basis for the period beginning at the date of Separation from Service of the Participant and ending on a date estimated to be the Participant 's date of death based upon the applicable mortality table prescribed under Section 417(e) of the Code for qualified plans.

Disability on or After January 27, 2012. If a Participant suffers a Disability on or after January 27, 2012, the Participant's disability benefit pursuant to this Article 4 shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum payment.

Exhibit (10)(pp)
PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
EXECUTIVE DEFERRAL PLAN
Adopted: June 23, 2016
Effective: September 2, 2015
Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation, (the “Company”), established this Executive Deferral Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective October 1, 1994, for the purpose of attracting high quality executives and promoting in its executives increased efficiency and an interest in the successful operation of the Company by offering a deferral opportunity to accumulate capital on favorable economic terms.
The Plan has been amended and restated from time to time. The Plan underwent significant and comprehensive changes when it was amended during December 2005 to provide for certain transitional rules and was amended and restated as of July 21, 2008 and such other dates as specified herein to reflect the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) with respect to the terms and conditions applicable to amounts that are deferred and vested under the Plan after December 31, 2004 and subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 6.2(c) and 8.4, all benefits deferred under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 and any additional amounts that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, (the “Grandfathered Amounts”) shall continue to be subject solely to the terms of the separate Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004. The Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall be read to preclude the Plan from using any transition rules permitted under the Act, provided that no action will be permitted with respect to the Grandfathered Amounts that will subject such amounts to Section 409A of the Code.
The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of September 2, 2015, to make the following changes to the Plan with respect to Eligible Employees who become Participants in the Plan on or after September 2, 2015: (i) replace the tax gross-up payment related to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code with a “best-net” provision providing for the Participant’s payments and benefits in connection with a Change in Control to be reduced to the maximum amount that does not trigger the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code if the net after-tax benefit of such reduction exceeds the net after-tax benefit if such reduction is not made, and (ii) eliminate the adjustment payment that would have been added to a Participant’s distribution under Section 10.1 of the Plan to offset the Participant’s inability to defer until the Participant’s “Normal Retirement Date” (as defined in Section 1) or later the payment of taxes on the amounts deferred hereunder and the earnings and interest that would have otherwise accrued between the date of the “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 1) and the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or such later date on which the Participant elected to commence receipt of his or her “Account” (as herein defined).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall not result in a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets if such transfer is to (A) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (B) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) a person or group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company, or (D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in Section 1.10(c)(iii) of this Plan.
Notwithstanding Sections 1.10(a), 1.10(b)(i) and 1.10(c) above, the consummation of a Business Combination shall not be deemed a Change in Control if, immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 50% of the total voting power of the Surviving Corporation resulting from such Business Combination or, if applicable, the Parent Corporation of such Surviving Corporation, is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such

the event described in this paragraph shall not be deemed to be a Corporate Change Vesting Event by virtue of any of the following situations: (i) an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (iii) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; (iv) a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph (c)); (v) as pertains to a Participant, any acquisition by the Participant or any group of persons (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) including the Participant (or any entity in which the Participant or a group of persons including the Participant, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such entity’s outstanding voting interests); or (vi) the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, if a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (vi) does not constitute a Corporate Change Vesting Event under this paragraph (a);
(b)
individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (b), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;

(d)
the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Change Vesting Event shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Corporate Change Vesting Event would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Corporate Change Vesting Event shall then occur.

Any “gross-up payment” pursuant to this Section 10.2(a) shall be made no later than December 31 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Section 4999 excise tax is remitted. No “gross-up payment” shall be made pursuant to this Section 10.2(a) to any individual who becomes a Participant in the Plan on or after September 2, 2015.

18


(b)
(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to an individual who becomes a Participant in the Plan on or after September 2, 2015, or for such Participant’s benefit pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 10.2(b), be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (A) the “Net Benefit” (as defined below) to the Participant of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (B) the Net Benefit to the Participant if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (A) above is less than the amount under (B) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes.
(ii)
Any such reduction of Covered Payments under Section 10.2(b)(i) shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
(A)
the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first; and
(B)
all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (1) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments, (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (based on the reverse order of the date of grant) before reduction of welfare benefits, and (3) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date.
(iii)
All determinations required to be made under this Section 10.2(b) shall be made by such professional consulting firm engaged by the Company from time to time as its independent consultant (the “Consulting Firm”). The Consulting Firm shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, both to the Company and the Participant (collectively, the “Determination”). In the event that the Consulting Firm is serving as a consultant for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall prior to the Change in Control appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determination required under this Agreement (which accounting firm shall

19


then be referred to as the Consulting Firm under this Agreement). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Consulting Firm shall be borne by the Company. The Determination by the Consulting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant (except as provided in paragraph (iv) below).
(iv)
If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that payments have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Participant by the Company that are in the aggregate more than the amount provided under this Section 10.2(b) (hereinafter referred to as an “Overpayment”), then the Participant shall pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7372(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the date of the Participant’s receipt of the Overpayment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the determination, it is possible that payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Section 10.2(b). In the event that it is determined: (i) by the Consulting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS; or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall promptly pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Participant, and in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Participant until the date of payment.
(v)
The provisions of this Section 10.2(b) shall not apply to any individual who is a Participant in the Plan on September 1, 2015.
ARTICLE 11
    
WITHDRAWALS UPON AN UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY
Upon a finding by the Administrator that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrator may permit the Participant to cease any on-going deferrals for the Plan Year. Furthermore, the Participant may elect to receive a distribution from the vested balance of his or her Account equal to the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such Unforeseeable Emergency, including the amount reasonably determined to be sufficient to satisfy any applicable income taxes and penalties anticipated to result from the distribution. In any case, no distribution may be made to a Participant pursuant to this Article 11 to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from

20


insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan, the Savings Restoration Plan and any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that is aggregated with any portion of the Plan or the Savings Restoration Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Regulations. If a distribution is made to a Participant on account of Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may not make further Annual Deferrals or LTI Deferrals (to the extent LTI Deferrals would otherwise be allowed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Plan) under the Plan until one entire Plan Year following the Plan Year in which a distribution based on Unforeseeable Emergency was made has elapsed, or such longer period as may be required by the Code. If, after December 31, 2007, a distribution is made from Grandfathered Amounts due to a “Financial Hardship” (as defined in the separate Plan applicable to Grandfathered Amounts), no cessation of deferrals shall be required with respect to Non-Grandfathered Amounts pursuant to this Article 11. Distributions to a Participant in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency pursuant to this Article 11 shall be made as follows: (a) first, from Grandfathered Amounts under the Savings Restoration Plan, to the extent thereof; (b) second, from other amounts under the Savings Restoration Plan, to the extent thereof; (c) third, from Grandfathered Amounts under the Plan, to the extent thereof; and (d) fourth, from other amounts under the Plan, to the extent thereof.
ARTICLE 12
    
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS
12.1
Non-assignability. The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or in any manner whatsoever. These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law.
12.2
No Right to Company Assets. The benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and the Participants and any Beneficiaries shall be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations under this Plan.
12.3
Protective Provisions. The Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits under this Plan, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan. If the Participant makes any material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then no benefits shall be payable to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary or estate under the Plan beyond the sum of the Participant’s Annual Deferrals, LTI Deferrals, and Discretionary Company Credits, if any.
12.4
Withholding. The Participant or the Beneficiary shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding

21


requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under the Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.
ARTICLE 13
    
ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
The Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall have discretionary authority to interpret, construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms, provided that such authority shall be exercised consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator shall further establish, adopt or revise such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Administrator shall be final and binding. The individuals serving on a Committee shall, except as prohibited by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees), to the extent not covered by liability insurance arising out of any action taken by any member of the Committee with respect to the Plan, unless such liability arises from the individual’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 14
    
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is submitted in writing to the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Administrator.
The submission of a new Beneficiary designation shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of a Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation shall revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary and unless in the case of marriage the Participant’s new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Participant shall consent to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse, and the spouse’s consent shall be witnessed by a notary public.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Administrator shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the estate of the last to die of the Participant and the Beneficiaries.
ARTICLE 15
    
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

22


15.1
Amendment of Plan.
(a)
The Company may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that such amendment: (i) shall not decrease the balance of the Participant’s Account at the time of such amendment; and (ii) shall not retroactively decrease the applicable Crediting Rate of the Plan prior to the time of such amendment. The Company may amend the Crediting Rate or Fixed Crediting Rate of the Plan prospectively, in which case, the Company shall notify the Participants of such amendment in writing within thirty (30) days after such amendment.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall permit an acceleration of time of payment of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan, other than: (i) as necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture, as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code; (ii) in accordance with Sections 6.5 and 8.5 of the Plan with respect to small cashouts; (iii) as necessary to pay Federal Insurance Contribution (“FICA”) taxes and any resulting federal, state, local or foreign income taxes attributable to amounts deferred under the Plan, subject to the limitations of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) of the Regulations; (iv) in the event the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to one or more Participants, and then only in such amount as is included in income of such Participant(s) as a result of such failure; (v) due to a termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 15.2 of the Plan that meets the requirements of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations; or (f) as otherwise may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
15.2
Termination of Plan. The Company may terminate the Plan only as permitted by Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations (Plan Terminations and Liquidations), or as otherwise may be permitted by future Regulations or other guidance under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time determine to cease all future deferrals and contributions to the Plan. In such event, Participants’ Accounts shall continue to be held and administered in accordance with the terms of this Plan; provided, however that the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to continue to credit Participants’ Accounts with earnings at the otherwise applicable Crediting Rates or instead to credit Participants’ Accounts, as of January 1 of the year that all future deferrals and contributions to the Plan are ceased, with a reasonable rate of interest, not less than the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, in either case continuing until distribution of Participants’ Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
15.3
Company Action. Except as provided in Section 15.4, the Company’s power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be exercisable by the Company’s Board of Directors or by the committee or individual authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to exercise such powers.

23


15.4
Distribution on Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. In the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred under the Plan fail to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and must be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distribution of the amount required to be included in income shall be made to affected Participants to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
ARTICLE 16
    
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1
Successors of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company.

ERISA Plan.

16.3
Trust. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan. The Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Benefits paid to the Participant from any such trust shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company under the Plan.
16.4
Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken under this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to continued employment with the Company.
16.5
Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
16.6
Captions. The captions of the articles and sections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
16.7
Validity. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan.
16.8
Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision of the Plan by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant.

24


16.9
Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio except where the laws of the State of Ohio are preempted by ERISA.
16.10
Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company or the Administrator under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by first class mail, facsimile or electronic mail to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the Administrator. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark.
ARTICLE 17
    
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
17.1
Claims Procedure. The Administrator shall notify a Participant in writing, within ninety (90) days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that a Participant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth: (a) the specific reasons for such denial; (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed; and (d) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator shall notify the Participant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.
17.2
Review Procedure. If a Participant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Participant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Participant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator shall notify the Participant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Participant’s beneficiaries.

EXHIBIT A
The purpose of the adjustment payment to be added to the distribution made pursuant to Section 10.1 (the “Make Whole Amount”) is to offset the Participant’s inability to defer until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or later the payment of taxes on the amounts deferred and the earnings and interest that would have otherwise accrued between the date of the Change in Control and Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or such later date on which the Participant elected to commence receipt of his or her Account (the “Commencement Date”, provided that with regard to any Participant whose Termination of Employment occurs prior to the date of the Change in Control, the “Commencement Date” shall mean the date of the next scheduled payment, if any, of the Participant’s Account balance following the date of the Change in Control) under the Plan.
The Make Whole Amount shall be calculated as follows:
1.
The Participant’s Account balance under the Plan as of the date of the Change in Control (or as of the Anticipatory Termination date, if larger) (the “EDP Amount”) will be projected forward to the Commencement Date at an assumed tax-deferred annual earnings rate equal to the Moody’s Seasoned Baa Corporate Bond Yield Average for the last twelve full calendar months prior to the Change in Control (the “Moody’s Rate”) (such projected amount shall be known as the “Projected Balance”). The Projected Balance will then be converted into annual installment benefit payments based upon the Participant’s elected form of retirement payments under the Plan, assuming continued tax-deferred earnings on the undistributed balance at the Moody’s Rate (the “Projected Annual Payouts”). The Projected Annual Payouts will then be reduced for assumed income taxes at the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal rates of taxation in effect in the Participant’s taxing jurisdiction(s) for the calendar year in which the Make Whole Amount is paid (the “Tax Rate”). The after-tax Projected Annual Payouts will be known as the “After-Tax Projected Benefits”.
2.
The term “Made Whole Amount”, as used herein, shall mean the EDP Amount plus the Make Whole Amount. The Make Whole Amount is the amount which, when added to the EDP Amount, will yield After-Tax Annuity Benefits (as hereinafter defined) equal to the After-Tax Projected Benefits, based on the following assumptions:
(a)
The Made Whole Amount will be taxed at the Tax Rate upon receipt by the Participant.
(b)
The after-tax Made Whole Amount will be deemed to be invested, by the Participant in a tax-deferred annuity that is structured to make payments beginning on the Commencement Date in the same form as elected by the Participant under the Plan (the “Annuity”).

27


(c)
The Annuity will accrue interest at the Moody’s Rate, less 80 basis points (i.e., 0.80%).
(d)
Annual Annuity payments will be taxed at the Tax Rate (after taking into account the annuity exclusion ratio), yielding “After-Tax Annuity Benefits”.
