ARTICLE II

CERTAIN TERMS OF RESTRICTED SHARES

1. Issuance of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares covered by this
Agreement shall be issued to the Grantee on the Date of Grant. The Common Shares
subject to this grant of Restricted Shares shall be fully paid and
nonassessable.

2. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Common Shares subject to this grant
of Restricted Shares may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged,
encumbered or otherwise disposed of by the Grantee, except to the Corporation,
until the Restricted Shares have become nonforfeitable as provided in Section 3
of this Article II; provided, however, that the Grantee’s rights with respect to
such Common Shares may be transferred by will or pursuant to the laws of descent
and distribution. Any purported transfer or encumbrance in violation of the

as permitted by the Plan, may waive the restrictions on transferability with
respect to all or a portion of the Common Shares subject to this grant of

3. Vesting of Restricted Shares.

(a) All of the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall become
nonforfeitable if the Grantee shall have remained in the continuous employ of
the Corporation or a Subsidiary for three years from the Date of Grant.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) of this Article II, all of
the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall immediately become
nonforfeitable (i) if the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in
the employ of the Corporation or a Subsidiary during the three-year period from
the Date of Grant, or (ii) if a Change in Control (as defined below in Section
3(d) of this Article II) occurs during the three-year period from the Date of

Grantee retires under a retirement plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary at or
after normal retirement age provided for in such retirement plan or retires at
an earlier age with the consent of the Committee, a portion of the Restricted
Shares covered by this Agreement shall become nonforfeitable. The number of
Restricted Shares that shall become nonforfeitable shall be determined by
multiplying the total number of Restricted Shares granted hereunder by the
number of months the Grantee remained in the continuous employ of the
Corporation or a Subsidiary between the Date of Grant and the effective date of
such retirement divided by 36. The Committee may, however, provide that more
than such fraction shall become nonforfeitable in its discretion pursuant to
Section 19(c) of the Plan.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means:

(i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of voting securities of the
Corporation where such acquisition causes such Person to own (A) 20% or more of
the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
“Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities”) without the approval of the
Incumbent Board as defined in (ii) below or (B) 35% or more of the Outstanding
Voting Securities of the Corporation with the approval of the Incumbent Board;
provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following
acquisitions shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control: (I) any
acquisition directly from the Corporation that is approved by the Incumbent
Board (as defined in subsection (ii), below), (II) any acquisition by the
Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, (III) any acquisition by any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Corporation or any corporation controlled by the Corporation, (IV) any
acquisition by any Person pursuant to a transaction described in clauses (A),
(B) and (C) of subsection (iii) below, or (V) any acquisition by, or other
Business Combination (as defined in (iii) below) with, a person or group of
which employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation control
a greater than 25% interest (a “MBO”) but only if the Grantee is one of those
employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation that are
participating in the MBO; provided, further, that if any Person’s beneficial
ownership of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities reaches or exceeds
20% or 35%, as the case may be, as a result of a transaction described in clause
(I) or (II) above, and such Person subsequently acquires beneficial ownership of
additional voting securities of the Corporation, such subsequent acquisition
shall be treated as an acquisition that causes such Person to own 20% or 35% or
more, as the case may be, of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities; and
provided, further, that if at least a majority of the members of the Incumbent
Board determines in good faith that a Person has acquired beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or
more of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities inadvertently, and such
Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares so that
such Person beneficially owns (within the meanings of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) less than 20% of the Outstanding Corporation Voting
Securities, then no Change of Control shall have occurred as a result of such
Person’s acquisition; or

(ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board” (as modified by this clause (ii)) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any
individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
nomination for election by the Corporation’s shareholders, was approved by a
vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board
(either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the
Corporation in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without
objection to such nomination) shall be considered as though such individual were
a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or
threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors
or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on
behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

(iii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
or the acquisition of assets of another corporation, or other transaction
(“Business Combination”) excluding, however, such a Business Combination
pursuant to which (A) the individuals and entities who were the ultimate
beneficial owners of voting securities of the Corporation immediately prior to
such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
65% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity
resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an
entity that as a result of such transaction owns the Corporation or all or
substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or
more subsidiaries), (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) of the Corporation, the Corporation or such entity resulting from
such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly (I) 20% or
more, if such Business Combination is approved by the Incumbent Board or
(II) 35% or more, if such Business Combination is not approved by the Incumbent
Board, of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors of the entity resulting from such
Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of
directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business
Combination; or

or dissolution of the Corporation except pursuant to a Business Combination
described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii), above.

Restricted Shares shall be uncertificated and evidenced by book entry only until
the Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable pursuant to Section 3(a) of this
Article II. At such time, a Certificate or Certificates representing such shares
(less any shares withheld for taxes pursuant to Section 2 of Article III hereof)
shall be delivered to the Grantee.

5. Forfeiture of Shares. The Restricted Shares shall be forfeited, except as
otherwise provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c) above, if the Grantee ceases to be
employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary prior to three years from the Date
of Grant.

6. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Date of Grant, the
Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement, including the right to vote such
Restricted Shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided,
however, that any additional Common Shares or other securities that the Grantee
may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or
reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Corporation
shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares covered by
this Agreement.
(b) Cash dividends on the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall be
sequestered by the Corporation from and after the Date of Grant until such time
as any of such Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable in accordance with
Section 3 of this Article II, whereupon such dividends shall be paid to the
Grantee in cash to the extent such dividends are attributable to Restricted
Shares that have become nonforfeitable. To the extent that Restricted Shares
covered by this Agreement are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 of this
Article II, all the dividends sequestered with respect to such Restricted Shares
shall also be forfeited. No interest shall be payable with respect to any such
dividends.

7. Effect of Detrimental Activity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Grantee, either during employment by the Corporation or a
subsidiary or within one year after termination of such employment, shall engage
in any Detrimental Activity, (as hereinafter defined) and the Board shall so
find, the Grantee shall:

disposed of that became nonforfeitable pursuant to this Agreement, and
(b) With respect to any Restricted Shares that the Grantee has disposed of that
became nonforfeitable pursuant to this Agreement, pay to the Corporation in cash
the value of such Restricted Shares on the date such Restricted Shares became
nonforfeitable. To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Corporation,
the Corporation may, to the extent permitted by law, set off the amounts so
payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the
Corporation or a subsidiary to the Grantee, whether as wages, deferred
compensation or vacation pay or in the form of any other benefit or for any
other reason.

be considered a “work made for hire” and that ownership of any and all
copyrights in any and all such items shall belong to the Corporation. The item
will recognize the Corporation as the copyright owner, will contain all proper

Reserved,” and will be in condition to be registered or otherwise placed in
compliance with registration or other statutory requirements throughout the
world.
(f) Termination for Cause. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(a)(i) of
Article II, Detrimental Activity shall also include activity that results in

conduct or act determined to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any
significant interest of the Corporation or any subsidiary unless the Grantee
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

of, and is adequately supported by the agreement of the Corporation to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and by other consideration, which the
Grantee acknowledges constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration.

ARTICLE III

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Compliance with Law. The Corporation shall make reasonable efforts to comply
with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation shall not
be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement if the
issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.

2. Withholding Taxes. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be required to
withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with any
issuance or vesting of Common Shares or other securities pursuant to this
Agreement, the Grantee shall pay the tax or make provisions that are
satisfactory to the Corporation or such Subsidiary for the payment thereof. The
Grantee may elect to satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation
by surrendering to the Corporation or such Subsidiary a portion of the Common
Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee or that become
nontransferable by the Grantee hereunder, and the Common Shares so surrendered
by the Grantee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
Market Value per Share of such Common Shares on the date of such surrender.

3. Continuous Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the continuous
employment of the Grantee with the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall not be
deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have
ceased to be an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, by reason of the
transfer of his employment among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries or a leave
of absence approved by the Board.

4. No Employment Contract; Right to Terminate Employment. The grant of the
Restricted Shares to the Grantee is a voluntary, discretionary award being made
on a one-time basis and it does not constitute a commitment to make any future
awards. The grant of the Restricted Shares and any payments made hereunder will
not be considered salary or other compensation for purposes of any severance pay
or similar allowance, except as otherwise required by law. Nothing in this
Agreement will give the Grantee any right to continue employment with the
Corporation or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, or interfere in any way with
the right of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the
Grantee at any time.

5. Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee
under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining
any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing,
retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Corporation
or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage
available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of
the Corporation or a Subsidiary.

6. Information. Information about the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in
the Plan may be collected, recorded and held, used and disclosed for any purpose
related to the administration of the Plan. The Grantee understands that such
processing of this information may need to be carried out by the Corporation and
its Subsidiaries and by third party administrators whether such persons are
located within the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, including the United States
of America. The Grantee consents to the processing of information relating to
the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan in any one or more of
the ways referred to above.

7. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to
this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided,
however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with
under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent.

8. Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from
the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue
to be valid and fully enforceable.

9. Governing Law. This agreement is made under, and shall be construed in
accordance with, the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio.

The undersigned Grantee hereby accepts the award granted pursuant to this
Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Dated:

Grantee
