EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

PREAMBLE

The principal objective of the Oshkosh Corporation Executive Retirement Plan is to ensure the payment of a competitive level of retirement income in order to attract, retain and motivate selected executives.

This Plan is designed to provide a benefit which, when added to other retirement income of the executive, will meet the objective described above. Eligibility for participation in this Plan shall be limited to executives selected by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Human Resources Committee or its successor in function of the Board of Directors.

The Company adopted this Plan with an initial effective date of January 31, 2000. The Plan was subsequently amended on July 16, 2004, effective October 1, 2004; however, the changes reflected in that amendment and restatement were effective only with respect to those Active Participants who, as of October 1, 2004, were actively performing services for the Company on a substantially full-time basis.

The Plan is further amended and restated effective December 31, 2008, primarily to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A. This amendment and restatement is effective for all Participants in the Plan on December 31, 2008. It does not materially modify the terms of the Plan as in effect on October 1, 2004, except with respect to changes to the Plan which establish separate rules regarding the form and timing of Retirement Benefit payments accrued and vested on or after January 1, 2005.

ARTICLE III
FORM AND AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Section 3.1. Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit. The Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit payable to a Participant who retires on or after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date shall be a monthly Retirement Benefit commencing on the Participant’s Retirement Date and payable during the Participant’s lifetime and ceasing with the last payment due on the first day of the month in which the Participant dies. The monthly Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit shall be equal to one-twelfth of the excess, if any, of (a) less the sum of (b), (c), and (d) where:

(a) equals two (2) percent of the Participant’s Final Average Compensation multiplied by the Participant’s Years of Credited Service,

(b) equals one-half of the Participant’s annual Social Security Benefit,

(d) equals Participant’s annual Funded Plan Benefit.

Section 3.2. Early Retirement Benefit. Each Participant who retires prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date shall receive a monthly Early Retirement Benefit commencing on the Participant’s Early Retirement Date and payable under the normal form in accordance with section 3.1. The monthly Early Retirement Benefit shall be equal to one-twelfth of the excess, if any, of (a) less the sum of (b), (c), and (d) where:

(a) equals two (2) percent of the Participant’s Final Average Compensation multiplied by the Participant’s Years of Credited Service and reduced by a factor based on the number of years by which the Retirement Date precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, as shown in the following schedule:

Number of years* by which the Retirement Date precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date	Portion of Retirement Benefit Payable
7	60.00%
6	63.33%
5	66.67%
4	73.33%
3	80.00%
2	86.67%
1	93.33%
0	100.00%

For a period that is not an integral number of years, the portion to be applied will be obtained by arithmetic interpolation between the appropriate percentages set out above.

(b) equals one-half of the Participant’s annual Social Security Benefit, reduced by .4167 percent for each month by which Participant’s Early Retirement Date precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date,

(d) equals the annual Funded Plan Benefit payable at the Early Retirement Date.

Section 3.3. Deferred Vested Retirement Benefits. An Inactive Participant shall be paid his deferred vested Retirement Benefit at his Retirement Date under the terms of Section 3.1 of the Plan, unless such Participant qualifies for an Early Retirement Benefit under Section 3.2 in which case payments may begin at such Early Retirement Date.

Section 3.4. Form and Timing of Benefit. The benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant under this Plan shall be paid in the normal form as provided by the Funded Plan or, as elected by the Participant (or his Spouse, in the event of the Participant’s death while employed), on a basis consistent with all elections made by the Participant and/or Spouse under the Funded Plan. Any conversions to an optional method of payment permitted under the Funded Plan shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of such normal form of payment. Benefits due under this Article III shall be paid coincident with the payment date of benefits under the Funded Plan.

Section 3.5. Treatment of Plan Payments Under Other Plans. Benefits earned by a Participant under this Plan shall not be considered “Compensation” as that term is defined in other plans sponsored by the Employer.

ARTICLE IV
DEATH BENEFITS BEFORE RETIREMENT

Section 4.1. Death of a Participant Before Commencement of Retirement Benefit. If a Participant dies before the date Retirement Benefits commence hereunder, no benefits shall be payable under this Plan, except as to otherwise provided in section 4.2.

Section 4.2. Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit.

(a) In the case of a Participant who has a nonforfeitable right to his Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit, who has a surviving Spouse and who dies prior to his Retirement Date (whether or not such Participant is employed by the Employer or an Affiliate) there shall be payable to his surviving Spouse a Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit.

(b) The monthly payments to a surviving Spouse under the Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit shall equal the amounts which would have been payable as a survivor annuity under the Joint and 50 Percent Spouse’s Annuity if—

(i)

in the case of a Participant who dies after attaining his Early Retirement Date, such Participant had retired with an immediate Joint and 50 Percent Spouse’s Annuity on the day before the Participant’s death, or

(ii)

in the case of a Participant who dies on or before attaining his Early Retirement Date, such Participant had terminated employment on the date of death (if his employment had not terminated), survived to his Early Retirement Date, retired with an immediate Joint and 50 Percent Spouse’s Annuity on his Early Retirement Date, and died on the day after the date on which such Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date. If, pursuant to subsection (c) below, a Spouse elects to defer the commencement of the Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit, the amount of the benefit payable thereunder shall be increased to reflect such deferral.

(c) Payment of the Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit to a Participant’s Spouse shall commence on the date selected by the surviving Spouse. Such date shall occur no earlier than the date on which a deceased Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date (in the case of a Participant who dies prior to attaining his Early Retirement Date), or the date of the Participant’s death (in the case of a Participant who dies on or after attaining his Early Retirement Date), and no later than the first day of the month next following the date the Participant would have attained age 62.

ARTICLE V.

Moreover, in the event of a Change in Control, each Participant shall be entitled to receive an immediate single sum distribution of the entire present value of the Participant’s Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit vested in accordance with this Article V within 60 days after the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason. (Any Participant who terminated employment before such Change in Control shall receive the present value of the Participant’s then remaining vested Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit within 60 days after the Change in Control.) For purposes of this provision, the present value of a Participant’s Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit shall be determined using the Actuarial Assumption in section 6.4.

ARTICLE VI.
PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT

Section 6.1. Survival. Payment of any Retirement Benefit hereunder which is contingent upon the survival of the payee shall cease with the last payment due the payee before the payee’s death.

Section 6.2. Administrative Powers Relating to Payments. If a Participant or Spouse is under a legal disability or, by reason of illness or mental or physical disability, is unable, in the opinion of the Committee, to attend properly to such Participant’s personal financial matters, the Committee may make such payments in such of the following ways as the Committee shall direct:

(a) Directly to such Participant or Spouse;

(b) To the legal representative of such Participant or Spouse; or

Any payment made pursuant to this section 6.2 shall be in complete discharge of the obligation for such payment under the Plan.

Section 6.3. Missing Persons.

(a) The Company shall be deemed to have made adequate tender of payment of any benefit payable hereunder to a person if payment is made by check or by money order, and mailed to the last address of such person furnished to the Company.

(b) If a person shall fail to claim or collect any such tender for a period of three months from the date thereof, the Company may stop payment on such tender and on any other tenders subsequent to the tender not claimed or collected and may suspend any further benefit payments hereunder until the Company can ascertain whether such person was living at the time any such tender was made and whether any benefit payments are due hereunder to a person. Upon such suspension of payments, a written notice thereof and of the provisions of this section 6.3 shall be mailed by the Company to the last address known to it of the person entitled to such payment or payments.

(c) If such person shall fail to claim any such payment for a period of three years after such written notice is mailed, such person for all purposes of the Plan be deemed to have died on the day immediately preceding the date of the first such tender which has not been claimed or collected.

Section 6.4. Lump Sum Cash-Out. If the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value of: (1) a Participant’s 409A grandfathered vested Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit upon termination of employment, determined in accordance with Article VIII, or (2) the Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit upon the Participant’s death that is based on such 409A grandfathered

benefit amount is equal to or less than $50,000, the Company shall make a lump sum payment of: (1) the 409A grandfathered vested Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit to the Participant or (2) the Preretirement Spouse’s Death Benefit based on such 409A grandfathered amount to the Participant’s surviving Spouse. The interest rates and mortality table used in the Funded Plan to determine lump sums, as in effect at the time this determination is made, shall be used to determine the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent under this section.

ARTICLE VII.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.1. Funding. The Plan is intended as an unfunded plan of deferred compensation. The Company intends to establish appropriate reserves for the Plan on its books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such reserves shall be, for all purposes, part of the beneficial funds of the Company and no Participant, Spouse or other person claiming a right under the Plan shall have any interest, right or title to such reserves.

Section 7.2. Continuation of the Plan. The Plan shall be binding upon the Company and any successors or assigns of the Company including any corporation with or into which the Company or its successors or assigns shall consolidate or merge and any transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company or its successors or assigns.

Section 7.3. Right to Amend, Suspend or Terminate. The Company reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan by action of its Board of Directors or Human Resources Committee without the consent of any Participant, Spouse, or other persons claiming a right under the Plan. No amendment of the Plan shall reduce the benefits of any Participant below the amount to which such Participant has become vested pursuant to section 5.1 prior to the date of amendment.

Section 7.4. Rights to Benefits. No person shall have any right to a benefit under the Plan except as such benefit has accrued to such person in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and that such right shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, if a Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all of such Participant’s rights to benefits under this Plan shall be forfeited. For purposes of this Plan, the Company may terminate the Participant’s employment after the Plan Effective Date for “Cause” only if the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) have been met:

(i)

(A) the Participant has committed any act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with the Participant’s duties as an Officer or in the course of employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries; or

(B) the Participant has willfully and continually failed to perform substantially the Participant’s duties with the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, regardless of whether such illness or injury is job-related) for an appropriate period, which shall not be less than 30 days, after the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or, if the Participant is then Chief Executive Officer, the Board) has delivered a written demand for performance to the Participant that specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer (or the Board, as the case may be) believes the Participant has not substantially performed the Participant’s duties; or

(C) the Participant has willfully engaged in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; or

(D) the Participant has willfully and wrongfully disclosed any trade secret or other confidential information of the Company or any of its Affiliates; or

(E) the Participant has engaged in any competitive activity; and in any such case the act or omission shall have been determined by the Board to have been materially harmful to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

For purposes of the provision, (1) no act or failure to act on the part of the Participant shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company and (2) any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

(ii)

(A) The Company terminates the Participant’s employment by delivering a Notice of Termination to the Participant, and

(B) prior to the time the Company has terminated the Participant’s employment pursuant to a Notice of Termination, the Board, by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board, has adopted a resolution finding that the Participant was guilty of conduct set forth in this definition of Cause, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail, at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant, together with the Participant’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), and

In the event of a dispute regarding whether the Participant’s employment has been terminated for Cause, no claim by the Company that the Company has terminated the Participant’s employment for Cause in accordance with this Agreement shall be given effect unless the Company establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the Company has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.4 to terminate the Participant’s employment for Cause.

ARTICLE VIII.
CODE SECTION 409A GRANDFATHERING PROVISIONS

Section 8.1. General Grandfathering Rule. Retirement Benefits shall be grandfathered to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to Code Section 409A, subject to this Article VIII.

Section 8.2. 409A Grandfathered Benefit Amount. A Participant’s 409A grandfathered benefit amount is the present value of the Participant’s vested Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit as of December 31, 2004, which amount shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-6(a)(3) as of each date such benefit is valued for purposes of determining the Executive’s 409A grandfathered benefit amount. The value of the Participant’s annual Social Security Benefit, Company Matching Contribution Benefit, and Funded Plan Benefit shall also be determined as of December 31, 2004, for purposes of this determination. For purposes of calculating the present value of the Participant’s 409A grandfathered benefit amount, actuarial assumptions used shall be the same as those used to determine the present value of lump sum benefits under the Funded Plan as of each date such benefit is valued for purposes of determining the Participant’s 409A grandfathered amount.

Section 8.3. Payment of Grandfathered Benefit Amount. The Retirement Benefits attributable to a Participant’s 409A grandfathered benefit amount shall be paid at such times and in such form as permitted by the terms of the Plan as in effect on October 1, 2004, which terms and conditions shall not be materially amended after that date.

Section 8.4. 409A Non-Grandfathered Benefit Amount. A Participant’s 409A non-grandfathered benefit Amount is the present value of the Participant’s Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit hereunder less the Participant’s 409A grandfathered benefit amount, as of each date such benefit is valued for purposes of determining the non-grandfathered amount, determined in the same manner and with the same actuarial assumptions that are used in the calculation of the 409A grandfathered benefit amount.

Section 8.5. Payment of 409A Non-Grandfathered Benefit Amount. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the Retirement Benefits attributable to a Participant’s 409A non-grandfathered benefit amount (“Non-Grandfathered Retirement Benefits”) shall be paid in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a) Non-Grandfathered Retirement Benefits shall be deemed to be part of a nonaccount balance plan of deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A requirements.

(b) If any amount of a Participant’s 409A non-grandfathered benefit amount may be includible in income under Code Section 409A, the Committee shall, in consultation with the Participant, modify the terms of the Plan applicable to such affected Participant’s benefits in the least restrictive manner reasonably available to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, taking into account any other applicable Code provisions and without diminution in the value of the payments to the Participant, the Participant’s Spouse, or Beneficiary.

(c) Subject to Section 7.4 of the Plan, Non-Grandfathered Retirement Benefits shall be payable commencing at the following times and in the indicated form of payment:

		55 is the date on which the deceased
		would have attained age 55.

(d) In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in Section 1.7, which also satisfies the requirements of a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(C) of the Code (a “Qualifying Change in Control”), the Company shall make an immediate single sum distribution of the entire present value of the Participant’s accrued vested and unpaid 409A non-grandfathered benefit amount within sixty (60) days after such Qualifying Change in Control. If the Participant terminated employment prior to such Qualifying Change in Control, then such amount shall be paid in an immediate single sum distribution within sixty (60) days after the Qualifying Change in Control. Under all other circumstances, payment shall be pursuant to the table set forth in (c), above.

(e) To the extent provisions of the Plan are consistent with the requirements of this Section 8.5, they shall provide guidance for the administration of the Plan with respect to Non-Grandfathered Retirement Benefits.

(f) The term “Separation from Service” means, as to each Participant, the termination of employment of such Participant with the Company and all of its 409A affiliates or, if the Participant continues to provide services following his or her termination of employment, such later date as is considered a separation from service from the Company and its 409A affiliates within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Specifically, if the Participant continues to provide services to the Company or a 409A affiliate in a capacity other than as an employee, such shift in status is not automatically a Separation from Service. Termination of employment, for this purpose, means a termination of employment of the Participant when the Company and the Participant reasonably anticipate that no further services will be performed by the Participant for the Company and its 409A affiliates or that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform as an employee of the Company and its 409A affiliates will permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or independent contractor) for the Company and its 409A affiliates over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or such lesser period of services). The Participant’s termination of employment shall be presumed not to occur where the level of bona fide services performed by the Participant for the Company and its 409A affiliates continues at a level that is 50 percent or more of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or independent contractor) for the Company and its 409A affiliates over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or such lesser period of service). No presumption applies to a decrease in services that is more than 20 percent but less than 50 percent, and in such event, whether the Participant has had a termination of employment will be determined in good faith by the Company based on the facts and circumstances in accordance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant takes a leave of absence for purposes of military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, then the Participant will not be deemed to have incurred a Separation from Service for the first six months of the leave of absence or, if longer, for so long as the Participant’s right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract; provided that if the leave of absence is due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, the leave may be extended for up to 29 months without causing a termination of employment. The term “409A affiliate” means each entity that is required to be included in the Company’s controlled group of corporations within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Code, or that is under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Code; provided, however, that the phrase “at least 50 percent” shall be used in place of the phrase “at least 80 percent” each place it appears therein or in the regulations thereunder.

(g) The term “Life Annuity” means a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually, for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, followed upon the death or end of the life expectancy of the Participant by a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually, for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant’s Spouse or designated Beneficiary (if any). Any use of the Life Annuity form of payment shall conform to the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A, including Treasury Regulation 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii). Within thirty (30) days after the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service with entitlement to a Non-Grandfathered Retirement Benefit and attained at least age fifty-five (55), the Committee shall provide to the Participant a Life Annuity Election Form that includes periodic payment values for such benefit to be paid over the following periods, to the extent applicable: the life of the Participant; the life of the Participant with a joint and 100 percent survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s surviving spouse; the life expectancy of the Participant; the life expectancy of the Participant with a joint and 100 percent survivor annuity for the life expectancy of the Participant’s surviving spouse. The Participant may request alternative Life Annuity calculations based on other appropriate assumptions or joint annuitants at any time after receiving the Life Annuity Election Form and before payments of the Life Annuity commence. The completed Life Annuity Election Form, together with any required proof of birth dates requested by the Committee, must be filed with the Committee not later than two (2) weeks prior to the Life Annuity payment commencement date in order to be effective. If a complete and timely Life Annuity Election Form is not filed with the Committee, then periodic Life Annuity payments shall be made for the life expectancy of the Participant. The form of Life Annuity payment may not be changed after Life Annuity payments have commenced.

(h) The term “Joint and 50 Percent Spouse’s Annuity” for a Participant who is at least age 55 at date of death means the survivor annuity which would have been payable if the Participant had retired with an immediate joint and 50 percent survivor annuity on the date before death, with the Participant’s Spouse as the joint annuitant. In the case of a Participant who dies on or before attaining age 55, the Joint and 50 Percent Spouse’s Annuity is measured as of the date of the Participant’s 55^th birthday on the assumption that the Participant’s employment terminated on the date of death and the Participant survived to attain age 55, and then retired.

Section 8.6. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Company intends the terms of the Plan to be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit, including but not limited to consequences related to Section 409A of the Code. To the maximum extent permissible, any ambiguous terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner which avoids a violation of Section 409A of the Code. In order to avoid an additional tax on payments that may be payable or benefits that may be provided under the Plan and that constitute deferred compensation that is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code, each Participant shall make a reasonable, good faith effort to collect any payment or benefit to which the Participant believes the Participant is entitled hereunder no later than 90 days after the latest date upon which the payment could have been made or benefit provided under the Plan, and if the payment or benefit is not paid or provided, then the Participant shall take further enforcement measures within 180 days after such latest date.
