CERTIFICATE OF OFFICERS OF PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

ESTABLISHING TERMS OF NOTES UNDER AN OPEN-ENDED INDENTURE

Each of the undersigned officers of Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), does hereby certify as follows (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used with the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture (as defined below)):

Special Mandatory Redemption

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Notes to finance a portion of the merger consideration in the Company’s proposed acquisition of LORD Corporation (“LORD”) and to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing.

If the Company does not consummate the proposed acquisition of LORD on or prior to April 27, 2020 or, if prior to such date, the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 26, 2019, by and among the Company, Erie Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, LORD and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as shareholders’ representative (the “Merger Agreement”) is terminated, the Notes will be redeemed in the manner set forth below in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below).

If (i) the Company has not consummated the proposed acquisition of LORD on or prior to April 27, 2020, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days following April 27, 2020) notify the Trustee in writing of such event, or (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Trustee shall, no later than five Business Days following receipt of such notice from the Company, deliver to the holders of the Notes the notice of special mandatory redemption delivered to the Trustee with such notice (such date of notification to the holders, the “Redemption Notice Date”), that the Notes will be redeemed on or about the fifth Business Day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. The Trustee, upon receipt of the notice and notice of special mandatory redemption specified above, on the Redemption Notice Date shall deliver notice of special mandatory redemption to each holder in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture that all of the outstanding Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the holders of the Notes. At or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, for the Notes being redeemed. If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

Optional Redemption

Prior to December 14, 2048, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part (any date on which all or any part of the Notes are to be redeemed, a “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or

(b)    as calculated by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments for principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on December 14, 2048 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the sum of the Reference Dealer Rate (as defined below), plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

On or after December 14, 2048, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

If the Company has given notice as provided in the Indenture and made funds available for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, those Notes will cease to bear interest on that Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice. The Company will give written notice of any redemption of any Notes to holders of the Notes to be redeemed at their addresses, as shown in the security register for the Notes, at least 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company chooses to redeem less than all of the Notes, and if the Notes are held by the Depository Trust Company, its nominees and their respective successors (the “Depositary”), the applicable operational procedures of the Depositary for the selection of Notes for redemption will apply. If the Notes are not held by the Depositary, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Trustee will, in its sole discretion, then select the method and the manner, as it shall deem appropriate and fair to be used for purposes of redeeming the Notes in part.

“Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in New York City.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Dealer (as defined below) selected by the Company.

“Reference Dealer” means (a) each of Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (b) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

“Reference Dealer Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, the arithmetic average of the quotations quoted in writing to the Company by each

Reference Dealer of the average midmarket annual yield to maturity of the 3.375% Treasury Notes due November 15, 2048, or, if such security is no longer outstanding, a similar security in the reasonable judgment of each Reference Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Repurchase Upon a Change of Control

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in such Notes. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any such Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed, or with respect to Notes held in global form, to the extent permitted or required by applicable procedures or regulations of the Depositary, sent electronically to holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee under the Indenture that such Notes are being issued under, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and (unless delivered in advance of the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event) no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring.

On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third-party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company, and the third-party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third-party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company, as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment.

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below), measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date the Notes were issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc., and its successors.

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be, with respect to the Notes.

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by at least two of the three Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period (which 60-day period will be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

“Funded Debt” means (i) all indebtedness for money borrowed having a maturity of more than 12 months from the date as of which the determination is made or having a maturity of 12 months or less but by its terms being renewable or extendible beyond 12 months from such date at the option of the borrower and (ii) rental obligations payable more than 12 months from such date under leases which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (such rental obligations to be included as Funded Debt at the amount so capitalized at the date of such computation and to be included for the purposes of the definition of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets both as an asset and as Funded Debt at the respective amounts so capitalized). Notwithstanding any changes in generally accepted accounting principles that became effective after December 31, 2018, any particular lease that would have been characterized as an operating lease under generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on December 31, 2018, whether such lease was entered into before or after December 31, 2018, shall not constitute a lease which is capitalized under the Indenture as a result of such change.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have placed their hands this 14^th day of June 2019.

4.000% Senior Notes due 2049

Parker-Hannifin Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 31 or November 30 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of interest or principal, as applicable, will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose at the paying agent office of the Trustee, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

If the Notes are not held by the Depositary, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

Repurchase Upon a Change of Control

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in such Notes. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any such Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed, or with respect to Notes held in global form, to the extent permitted or required by applicable procedures or regulations of the Depositary, sent electronically to holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee under the Indenture that such Notes are being issued under, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and (unless delivered in advance of the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event) no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”).

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below), measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding
