NOTICE OF FY09

TARGET INCENTIVE BONUS AWARD

UNDER PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

On August 13, 2008, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Company”) granted you a Target Incentive Bonus award (“Award”) under the Company’s Performance Bonus Plan (“Bonus Plan”). Payments made under the Plan will be qualified as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Your Award is in the target amount of $             (“Target Amount”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Your payout under this Award (“Payout”) will be based upon the Company’s actual operating cash flow less capital expenditures (free cash flow) expressed as a percent of the Company’s sales (“FCF Margin”) for fiscal year 2009 (“Performance Period”). Discretionary pension contributions by the Company are not included in the calculation of the FCF Margin. You will receive a Payout of 100% of your Target Amount if the Company achieves an FCF Margin of 6.5% for the Performance Period. If the Company’s FCF Margin is above or below 6.5% for the Performance Period, your Payout will be a proportion of the Target Amount as set forth in the table below. The minimum threshold for any Payout under the Award is 4% FCF Margin during the Performance Period and the maximum is 9% FCF Margin.
