ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

4.01
Approval. Each key employee of the Company or an Affiliate who is approved for
participation in the Plan by the Committee (or under the authority conveyed by
the Committee) shall be a Participant as of the date designated. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any key employee of the Company or an Affiliate who was
participating in the Plan as of the Restatement Effective Date shall remain a
Participant as long as the key employee is in an Eligible Position.

4.02
Termination of Approval. The Committee may withdraw its approval for
participation for a Participant at any time. In the event of such withdrawal,
the key employee concerned shall cease to be an active Participant as of the
date selected by the Committee. Nothing in this Section 4.02 shall permit
distribution of amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account
before the time specified in Section 6.04.

4.03
Transfers In, Out of and Between Eligible Positions.

(a)
A key employee may be approved for participation during a portion of a Fiscal
Year.

(i)
With respect to employees who are not Covered Associates, an employee newly
hired or transferred into an Eligible Position shall have his/her participation
prorated during the first Fiscal Year provided employment or transfer occurs at
least two months prior to the end of the Fiscal Year.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)
An employee (other than a Covered Associate) transferred out of an Eligible
Position may receive a prorated Bonus at the discretion of the Committee
provided he/she served in the Eligible Position for at least two full months
during the Fiscal Year.

(iii)
With respect to Covered Associates approved for participation during a portion
of a Fiscal Year, see Section 5.03 as it would relate to Performance Periods
that are not equivalent to a Fiscal Year.

(b)
Participants (who are not Covered Associates) transferring between Eligible
Positions having different Bonus formulas will receive Bonuses prorated to
months served in each Eligible Position. Generally, for Covered Associates
transferring between Eligible Positions, Section 5.03 shall apply to each
respective Performance Period applicable to the particular position unless an
employment agreement provides otherwise.

4.04.
Termination of Employment.

(a)
Except to the extent that the Committee determines otherwise, and notifies the
Participant in writing of this determination, prior to the end of the
Performance Period, the Participant shall forfeit all rights to a Bonus unless
the Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the day on which
payments determined under Section 6.02 are in fact made (or would have been made
if a deferred payment election under Section 6.04 had not been executed).
However, a Participant shall not forfeit a Bonus for a Performance Period if the
Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate at the end of the
Performance Period and is involuntarily Terminated by the Company or an
Affiliate without cause or Terminates by reason of retirement, disability, or
death, after the end of the Performance Period, but before the Bonus payment
date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Covered Associate who Terminates by
reason of retirement during a Performance Period shall be entitled to a pro rata
portion (based on the number of days worked during the Performance Period) of
any Bonus that the Covered Associate would have been eligible to receive for the
Performance Period in which his or her retirement occurs had his or her
retirement not occurred at all.

(b)
The Company shall have discretion to provide a pro-rated Bonus (subject to
meeting the performance condition, if any) to a Participant whose employment
with the Company or an Affiliate Terminated by reason of retirement, disability,
or death during a Requisite Service Period.

5.
DETERMINATION OF BONUSES

5.01.
In addition to the vesting requirements of Section 4.04, Bonuses will vest
solely on account of: (1) the attainment of one or more pre-established
performance objectives and (2) in the case of Covered Associates, the
certification described in Section 5.06.

5.02.
With respect to Bonuses for Covered Associates, the material terms of the
performance measure(s) must be disclosed to, and subsequently approved by, the
shareholders before the Bonus payout is executed, unless the performance
measures conform individually, alternatively or in any combination of the
performance criteria and the application thereof in Appendix A.

5.03.
On or before the Final Pre-Establishment Date:

(a)
For Covered Associates with respect to Bonus opportunities expressed as a
percentage of Base Salary, the Committee shall initially fix the Base Salary
component of the Bonus formula prior to the establishment of the performance
objectives.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)
The Committee shall in its sole discretion, establish in writing a performance
measure or performance measures (in accordance with Section 5.02) applicable to
the Performance Period to any Covered Associate. Within the same period of time,
the Committee (or its designee) for each such period shall determine and
establish in writing the performance measures applicable to the Performance
Period for Participants who are not Covered Associates. Such pre-established
performance measures must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard,
the method for computing the amount of the Bonus payable to the Participant if
the objective(s) is (are) obtained. A formula or standard is objective if a
third party having knowledge of the relevant performance results could calculate
the amount to be paid to the Participant. The Committee may establish any number
of Performance Periods, objectives and Bonuses for any associate running
concurrently, in whole or in part, provided, that in so doing the Committee does
not jeopardize the Company’s deduction for such Bonuses under IRC section
162(m).

(c)
The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall either: (a) assign each Participant
a target Bonus opportunity level expressed as a percentage of Base Salary or a
whole dollar amount; or (b) establish a payout table or formula for purposes of
determining the Bonus (if any) payable to each Participant. The Committee may
authorize a designee to establish a payout table or formula for those
Participants who are not Covered Associates.

(d)
The Committee may establish performance measures for Participants who are not
Covered Associates after the Final Pre-Establishment Date based on Base Salary
as of any Determination Date determined by the Committee or its designee.

5.04.
Each payout table or formula:

(a)
shall be in writing;

(b)
shall be based on a comparison of actual performance to the performance
objectives;

(c)
may include a “floor” which is the level of achievement of the performance
objective in which payout begins;

(d)
shall include a ceiling (a/k/a “stretch”) which is the level of achievement for
the maximum Bonus payout percentage (subject to Section 5.08); and

(e)
shall provide for a formula for the actual Bonus attainment in relation to the
Participant’s target Bonus, depending on the extent to which actual performance
approached, reached or exceeded the performance criteria goal subject to Section
5.08.

5.05.
In lieu of Bonuses based on a percentage of Base Salary (Section 5.03), Bonuses
may be based on a percentage or share of a Bonus pool. The Committee (or its
designee) shall determine (by the date specified in Section 5.03) the total
dollar amount available for Bonuses (or a formula to calculate the total dollar
amount available) known as a Bonus pool. The Committee, in its sole discretion,
may establish two or more separate Bonus pools and assign the Participants to a
particular Bonus pool. The Committee (or its designee in the case of
Participants who are not Covered Associates) shall establish in writing a
performance payout table or formula detailing the Bonus pool and the payout (or
payout formula) based upon the relative level of attainment of performance
goals. Each payout table or formula shall (a) be based on a comparison of actual
performance to the performance goals, (b) provide the amount of a Participant’s
Bonus or total pool dollars available (or a formula to calculate pool dollars
available), if the performance goals for the Performance Period are achieved,
and (c) provide for an actual Bonus (which may be based on a formula to
calculate the percentage of the pool to be distributed to a particular
Participant) based on the extent to which the performance goals were achieved.
The payout table or formula may include a “floor” which is the level of
achievement of the performance goals in

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which payout begins. In the case of Bonuses which are stated in terms of a
percentage of a Bonus pool, the sum of the individual percentages for all
Participants in the pool cannot exceed 100 percent. In no case shall a reduction
in a Bonus of one Participant result in an increase in another Participant’s
Bonus.
5.06.
After the end of each Performance Period or such earlier date if the performance
objective(s) are achieved, the Committee shall certify in writing, prior to the
unconditional payment of any Bonus, which performance objective(s) for the
Performance Period were satisfied and to what extent they were satisfied. The
Committee (or its designee) shall determine the actual Bonus for each
Participant based on the payout table/formula established in Section 5.04 or
5.05, as the case may be.

5.07.
The Committee, in its discretion, may cancel or decrease a Bonus calculated
under this Plan, but with respect to Covered Associates, may not under any
circumstances increase such Bonus calculated under this Plan.

5.08.
Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate Bonus
payable to a Participant for a particular Fiscal Year may not exceed $4,000,000.

6.
PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE BONUSES

6.01.
In General. Once a Bonus has vested and the amount thereof is determined,
payment of the Bonus (or the portion thereof not deferred under Section 6.04)
shall be made pursuant to Section 6.02 or, if properly and timely elected,
pursuant to Section 6.04, shall be deferred in accordance with Section 6.04.

6.02.
Current Payment. A Participant’s Bonus for a Performance Period, which is not
deferred in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof, and a
Participant’s Bonus, whether or not he/she elected deferred-payment thereof, for
the Fiscal Year in which his/her employment Terminates, if any, as determined in
accordance with Section 4.04, shall be paid in immediately available funds to
the Participant, or his/her Beneficiary in the event of his/her death, no later
than the later of (a) the 15th day of the third month following the
Participant’s first taxable year in which such Bonus is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of IRC section 409A) or (b)
the 15th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year of
the service recipient (within the meaning of IRC section 409A) in which such
Bonus is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.03.
Conditional Payment. The Committee may authorize a Payment of a Bonus to a
Participant, other than a Covered Employee, based upon the Committee’s good
faith determination that the relevant performance objectives have been
satisfied. The Conditional Payment, at the discretion of the Committee may be
discounted to reasonably reflect the time value of money for the prepayment. The
amount of the Conditional Payment that will be returned to the Company is equal
to the Conditional Payment less the Bonus payment that has vested, if any. For
example, if the floor (see Section 5.05) was not attained for the performance
goal or target for the Performance Period, all of the Conditional Payment made
for that Performance Period to the Participant must be returned to the Company.
Return of all or a portion of the Conditional Payment shall be made reasonably
soon after it is determined the extent to which the performance goal or target
was not achieved. Conditional payments shall not be made in connection with
bonuses that otherwise would be subject to IRC section 409A if paid in the
ordinary course.

6.04
Deferred Payment.

(a)
Highly Compensated Employees. If a Participant in this Plan is a highly
compensated employee who participates in the Big Lots, Inc. Amended and Restated

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

elections to defer Bonus, elections as to the form of distribution of the
deferred amount, establishment of a deferred account, distributions from the
deferred accounts, and all other terms governing the deferred payment of a Bonus
shall be governed by the terms of the Top Hat Plan. Any election to defer the
Bonus of a Participant who participates in the Top Hat Plan will result in an
account administered under the Top Hat Plan.
(b)
Other Employees. The terms governing the deferral of a Bonus for Participants
who do not participate in the Top Hat Plan are set forth below.

(i)
Elections.

(1)
Performance Periods. Except as provided in Section 6.04(b)(i)(2), a Participant
may irrevocably elect in writing to have all or a part of a Bonus (but not less
than $5,000) deferred on or before December 31 of the calendar year preceding
the calendar year in which the Performance Period begins. At the same time, the
Participant also shall elect the form of distribution from the Deferred Bonus
Account from among the choices set forth in Section 6.04(b)(v) of the Plan.

(2)
Fiscal Year Bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may irrevocably
elect in writing to have all or a part of a Fiscal Year Bonus (but not less than
$5,000) deferred before the first day of the applicable Fiscal Year. At the same
time, the Participant shall also elect the form of distribution from the
Deferred Bonus Account from among the choices set forth in Section 6.04(b)(v) of
the Plan.

Such deferred payment shall be credited to a bookkeeping reserve account which
shall be established for the Participant and set up on the books of the Company
or an Affiliate and known as his/her “Deferred Bonus Account”.
(ii)
Credits to Deferred Bonus Account. When a Participant has elected to have a part
or all of his/her Bonus credited to a Deferred Bonus Account, the unpaid balance
in such account shall be credited with a simple annual interest equivalent, as
follows: As of the May 1 next following the Fiscal Year for which the deferred
Bonus was paid, such Bonus shall become part of the unpaid balance of such
Deferred Bonus Account. Such Deferred Bonus Account shall be credited on April
30 of each year with an amount equal to interest on the unpaid balance of such
account from time to time outstanding during the year ending on such April 30 at
the rate determined by adding together the Three--month Treasury Bill rate on
the last banking day prior to the beginning of such year and the Three--month
Treasury Bill rate in effect on the last banking days of each of the calendar
months of April through March of such year and dividing such total by 12. In the
event that the Deferred Bonus Account shall be terminated for any reason prior
to April 30 of any year, such account shall upon such termination date be
credited with an amount equal to interest at the average Three-month Treasury
Bill rate determined as aforesaid on the unpaid balance from time to time
outstanding during that portion of such year prior to the date of termination.

(iii)
Alternate Deferral Plans. The Committee, at its discretion, may provide
alternate deferral arrangements of which Bonuses under this Plan may be
included; provided that such deferral arrangements conform with the requirements
imposed by IRC section 409A.

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv)
Trust Deposits. The Committee, at its discretion, may establish an irrevocable
trust in which the assets of the trust are subject to the general creditors of
the Company and/or the Affiliate as the case may be. Such trust may upon the
occurrence of certain events, as determined by the Committee, receive assets
equal to the value of all Participants’ Deferred Bonus Accounts on the date of
the event.

(v)
Distribution upon Termination of Employment. Except as provided in clause (vi)
below, upon Termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason, the
Participant, or his/her Beneficiary in the event of his/her death, shall be
entitled to payment of the entire Deferred Bonus Account in one lump-sum payment
payable on the date of the first regular payroll after the thirtieth day
following the date of Termination of employment, or in ten (10) substantially
equal annual installment payments payable as set forth below, as elected by the
Participant at the time the Participant elects to defer all or part of his or
her Bonus pursuant to Section 6.04(b). Except as provided in clause (vi) below,
installment payments shall be payable beginning on the thirtieth day following
the date of Termination and, thereafter, on the first regular payroll date of
each succeeding Fiscal Year following the year during which the first
anniversary of the date of Termination of employment occurs.

(vi)
Six-Month Distribution Delay. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
if the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of IRC section
409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and as determined under
the Company’s policy for determining specified employees) on the date of the
Participant’s Termination, and the Participant is entitled to a distribution
under the Plan that is required to be delayed pursuant to IRC section
409A(a)(2), then such distribution shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be
paid or provided) until the first business day of the seventh month following
the Participant’s date of Termination (or, if earlier, the Participant’s death).

(vii)
Distribution in Event of Financial Emergency. If requested by a Participant
while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate and if the Committee (or in
the case of Participants who are not Covered Associates, its designee)
determines that an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency has occurred with respect
to a Participant, all or a portion of the Deferred Bonus Account of the
Participant may be distributed at the sole discretion of the Committee (or its
designee, as applicable) in an amount no greater than the amount reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency need (including amounts necessary to pay any
Federal, state or local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from such
distribution). The Participant must supply written evidence of the Unforeseeable
Financial Emergency and must declare, under penalty of perjury, that the
Participant has no other resources available to meet the emergency, including
the resources of the Participant’s spouse and minor children that are reasonably
available to the Participant. The Participant must also declare that the need
cannot be met by reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by
reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets (or the assets of the spouse
or minor children of the Participant) to the extent such liquidation will not
itself cause severe financial hardship. Any such distribution shall be paid
within 7 days of the determination by the Committee that an Unforeseeable
Financial Emergency exists.

(viii)
Cash Outs. Notwithstanding the provisions in Sections 6.04(b)(v) and (vii), but
subject to clause (vi) above, once distributions of the Deferred Bonus Account
begin, if the amount remaining in a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account at

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any time is less than $5,000, the Committee shall pay the balance in the
Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account in a lump sum. within thirty (30) days;
provided, however, that the payment results in the termination and liquidation
of the Participant’s interest under the Plan and all other plans or arrangements
that, along with the Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred
compensation plan under IRC section 409A.
(ix)
Beneficiary Designation.

(1)
A Participant may designate a Beneficiary who is to receive, upon his/her death,
the distributions that otherwise would have been paid to him/her. All
designations shall be in writing and shall be effective only if and when
delivered to the Secretary of the Company during the lifetime of the
Participant. If a Participant designates a Beneficiary without providing in the
designation that the Beneficiary must be living at the time of each
distribution, the designation shall vest in the Beneficiary all of the
distribution whether payable before or after the Beneficiary’s death, and any
distributions remaining upon the Beneficiary’s death shall be made to the
Beneficiary’s estate.

(2)
A Participant may from time to time during his lifetime change his Beneficiary
by a written instrument delivered to the Secretary of the Company. In the event
a Participant shall not designate a Beneficiary as aforesaid, or if for any
reasons such designation shall be ineffective, in whole or in part, the
distribution that otherwise would have been paid to such Participant shall be
paid to his estate and in such event the term “Beneficiary” shall include his
estate.

(x)
Corporate Changes.

Dissolution or Liquidation of Company. The Company shall cause the dollar
balance of a Deferred Bonus Account (adjusted to the end of the month

be, 60 days following the date of a corporate dissolution of the Company taxed
under IRC section 331 in accordance with Treasury Regulation

Change of Control of Company. In the event of a Change of Control of the
Company, the Company may, within thirty days preceding or twelve months
following the Change of Control event, irrevocably elect to terminate the Plan
and to distribute all Deferred Bonus Accounts under the Plan in accordance with
Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B); provided that all agreements,
methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored by the Company and all

single plan under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated and
distributed with respect to each Participant that experienced the Change of
Control, so that under the terms of the termination and distribution, all such
Participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under

the services are performed or the year in which the rights to the amounts are no
longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as required by IRC sections

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

12.01.
Any Participant (the “claimant”) who believes that he or she is entitled to a
benefit under the Plan or that wishes to resolve a dispute or disagreement which
arises under, or in any way relates to, the interpretation or construction of
the Plan may file a claim with the Committee.

12.02.
If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Committee will within ninety
(90) days of the receipt of such claim provide the claimant with written notice
of the denial setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant:

(a)
The specific reason or reasons for which the claim was denied;

(b)
Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, rules, procedures or protocols
upon which the Committee relied to deny the claim;

(c)
A description of any additional material or information that the claimant may
file to perfect the claim and an explanation of why this material or information
is necessary; and

(d)
An explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and the time limits
applicable to such procedure and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a
civil action under §502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (“ERISA”), following an adverse determination upon review.

If special circumstances require the extension of the ninety (90) day period
described above, the claimant will be notified before the end of the initial
period of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the
Committee expects to reach a decision. Any extension for deciding a claim will
not be for more than an additional ninety (90) day period.
12.03.
Review Procedure. If a claim has been wholly or partially denied, the affected
claimant, or such claimant’s authorized representative, may:

(a)
Request that the Committee reconsider its initial denial by filing a written
appeal within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice that all or part of
the initial claim was denied;

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)
Review pertinent documents and other material upon which the Committee relied
when denying the initial claim; and

(c)
Submit a written description of the reasons for which the claimant disagrees
with the Committee’s initial adverse decision.

An appeal of an initial denial of benefits and all supporting material must be
made in writing within the time periods described above and directed to the
Committee. The Committee is solely responsible for reviewing all benefit claims
and appeals and taking all appropriate steps to implement its decision.
The Committee’s decision on review will be sent to the claimant in writing and
will include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant, as well as specific references to the
pertinent Plan provisions, rules, procedures or protocols upon which the
Committee relied to deny the appeal. The Committee will consider all information
submitted by the claimant, regardless of whether the information was part of the
original claim. The decision will also include a statement of the claimant’s
right to bring an action under ERISA §502(a).
The Committee’s decision on review will be made not later than sixty (60) days
after his or her receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be
rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one-hundred-twenty (120) days
after receipt of the request for review. This notice to the claimant will
indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which
the Committee expects to render a decision and will be provided to the claimant
prior to the expiration of the initial period.
To the extent permitted by law, the decision of the Committee will be final and
binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan will be
brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted such claimant’s remedies
under this Section 12.01.
13.
SECTION 409A

13.01.
It is intended that the Plan comply with IRC section 409A and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Plan will be interpreted,
administered and operated accordingly. Nothing herein shall be construed as an
entitlement to or guarantee of any particular tax treatment to a Participant,
and none of the Company, its Affiliates, the Board or the Committee shall have
any liability with respect to any failure to comply with the requirements of IRC
section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

13.02.
The Company may accelerate the time or schedule of a distribution to a
Participant at any time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of IRC section
409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such distribution may
not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the
failure to comply with IRC section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder.
