ELIGIBILITY; ACCOUNTS

2.1. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan is limited to those employees of the
Affiliated Group who (a) are eligible to receive Nonelective Contributions under
the Savings Plan pursuant to and in accordance with the eligibility criteria
applicable under the Savings Plan and (b) whose Nonelective Contributions under
the Savings Plan are limited by reason of (i) Section 401(a)(17) of the Code or
Section 415 of the Code, (ii) the deferral of certain income which, but for the
deferral, would be included in the definition of “compensation” under the
Savings Plan, or (iii) a combination of the foregoing (“Eligible Employees”).
The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, change the eligibility
criteria for Eligible Employees, or determine that one or more Participants will
cease to be an Eligible Employee.

2.2. Enrollment Requirements. Each Participant shall file a Beneficiary
Designation Form with the Committee no later than the date or dates specified by
the Committee. A Participant’s Beneficiary Designation Form may be changed at
any time prior to his death by the execution and delivery of a new Beneficiary
Designation Form. The Beneficiary Designation Form on file with the Committee
that bears the latest date at the time of the Participant’s death shall govern.
If a Participant fails to properly designate a Beneficiary in accordance with
this Section 2.2, then his Beneficiary shall be his estate. In addition, the
Committee may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as
it determines in its sole discretion are necessary.

2.3. Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain an Account for each
Participant. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with Supplemental
Contributions in accordance with Article III hereof. A Participant’s Account
thereafter shall be credited with gains, losses and earnings as provided in
Article IV hereof and shall be debited for any payments made to the Participant
as provided in Article V hereof.

ARTICLE III

SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS

3.1. Amount of Credit. There shall be credited to each Eligible Employee’s
Account for each Contribution Period an amount (a “Supplemental Contribution”)
equal to the excess, if any, of:

 

3

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

(a) the Nonelective Contribution that would have been made under the Savings
Plan on behalf of the Eligible Employee for such period if (i) the limitations
imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) of the Code and Section 415 of the Code did not
apply, (ii) the definition of “compensation” used in the Savings Plan included
the Eligible Employee’s voluntary deferrals of compensation under the Scripps
Networks Interactive, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (or its
successor), and (iii) with respect to each Designated Employee, the “allocation
rate” under the Savings Plan were increased by the multiple set forth on Exhibit
A, but only for periods ending on or before December 31, 2019, over

(b) the Nonelective Contribution actually made under the Savings Plan on behalf
of the Eligible Employee for such period.

3.2. Date of Credit. Supplemental Contributions for a Contribution Period shall
be treated as if they were set aside in an Eligible Employee’s Account as soon
as administratively practicable following the end of the Contribution Period and
on the date specified by the Committee in its sole discretion.

3.3. Vesting. Each Participant’s Account shall become vested and non-forfeitable
at the same time that the Participant’s Nonelective Contributions become vested
and non-forfeitable under the Savings Plan.

ARTICLE IV

CREDITING OF GAINS, LOSSES AND EARNINGS TO ACCOUNTS

To the extent provided by the Committee in its sole discretion, each
Participant’s Account will be credited with gains, losses and earnings based on
investment directions made by the Participant in accordance with investment
crediting options and procedures established from time to time by the Committee.
The Committee specifically retains the right in its sole discretion to change
the investment crediting options and procedures from time to time. Each
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Affiliated Group is not and shall
not be required to make any investment in connection with the Plan, nor is it
required to follow the Participant’s investment directions in any actual
investment it may make or acquire in connection with the Plan or in determining
the amount of any actual or contingent liability or obligation of the Company or
any other member of the Affiliated Group thereunder or relating thereto. Any
amounts credited to a Participant’s Account with respect to which a Participant
does not provide investment direction shall be credited with gains, losses and
earnings as if such amounts were invested in an investment option to be selected
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS

5.1. Date of Payment of Account. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V,
the vested amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be paid to the
Participant (or his Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death), in a
single lump sum, within 30 days after the first business day of the seventh
month following the Participant’s Separation from Service (or if earlier, the
Participant’s death).

 

4

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

5.2. Discretionary Acceleration of Payments. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, accelerate the time of a payment under the Plan to a time otherwise
permitted under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with the requirements,
restrictions and limitations of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j);
provided that in no event may a payment be accelerated following a Participant’s
Separation from Service to a date that is prior to the first business day of the
seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service (or if
earlier, upon the Participant’s death) unless otherwise provided in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j).

5.3. Delay of Payments. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, delay the
time or form of payment under the Plan to a time or form otherwise permitted
under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with the requirements, restrictions
and limitations of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

5.4. Actual Date of Payment. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the
Code, the Committee may delay payment in the event that it is not
administratively possible to make payment on the date (or within the periods)
specified in this Article V, or the making of the payment would jeopardize the
ability of the Company (or any entity which would be considered to be a single
employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) to
continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment must be made
no later than the latest possible date permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

5.5. Discharge of Obligations. The payment to a Participant or his Beneficiary
of the vested amounts credited to his Account in a single lump sum pursuant to
this Article V shall discharge all obligations of the Affiliated Group to such
Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan with respect to that Account.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION

6.1. General. The Company, through the Committee, shall be responsible for the
general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions hereof.
In general, the Committee shall have the full power, discretion and authority to
carry out the provisions of the Plan; in particular, the Committee shall have
full discretion to (a) interpret all provisions of the Plan, (b) resolve all
questions relating to eligibility for participation in the Plan and the amount
in the Account of any Participant and all questions pertaining to claims for
benefits and procedures for claim review, (c) resolve all other questions
arising under the Plan, including any factual questions and questions of
construction, (d) determine all claims for benefits, and (e) take such further
action as the Company shall deem advisable in the administration of the Plan.
The actions taken and the decisions made by the Committee hereunder shall be
final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including the Company, its
shareholders, the other members of the Affiliated Group, employees,
Participants, and their estates and Beneficiaries.

6.2. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the Plan
comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent the
inclusion in gross income of any Supplemental Contributions in a taxable year
that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts would otherwise
actually be paid or made available to Participants or

 

5

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

Beneficiaries. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in a
manner that effects such intent, and the Committee shall not take any action
that would be inconsistent with such intent. Although the Committee shall use
its best efforts to avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties
under Section 409A of the Code, the tax treatment of amounts credited to a
Participant’s Account under this Plan is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither
the Company, the other members of the Affiliated Group, their directors,
officers, employees, advisors, nor the Committee (nor its designee) shall be
held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by
any Participant, Beneficiary or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan. Any
reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any
proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated
with respect to such Section 409A by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the
Internal Revenue Service. For purposes of the Plan, the phrase “permitted by
Section 409A of the Code,” or words or phrases of similar import, shall mean
that the event or circumstance shall only be permitted to the extent it would
not cause an amount credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan to be
includible in the gross income of a Participant or Beneficiary under
Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.

6.3. Claims Procedure. Any person who believes he is entitled to receive a
benefit under the Plan shall make application in writing on the form and in the
manner prescribed by the Committee. If any claim for benefits filed by any
person under the Plan (the “claimant”) is denied in whole or in part, the
Committee shall issue a written notice of such adverse benefit determination to
the claimant. The notice shall be issued to the claimant within a reasonable
period of time but in no event later than 90 days from the date the claim for
benefits was filed or, if special circumstances require an extension, within 180
days of such date. The notice issued by the Committee shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include the
following: (a) the specific reason or reasons for any adverse benefit
determination, (b) the specific Plan provisions on which any adverse benefit
determination is based, (c) a description of any further material or information
which is necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation of
why the material or information is needed and (d) an explanation of the Plan’s
claim review procedure and time limits applicable to the Plan’s claim review
procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination
on review.

ARTICLE VII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1. Amendment. The Company reserves the right to amend, terminate or freeze the
Plan, in whole or in part, at any time by action of the Board. Moreover, the
Committee may amend the Plan at any time in its sole discretion to ensure that
the Plan complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or other
applicable law; provided, however, that such amendments, in the aggregate, may
not materially increase the benefit costs of the Plan to the Company. In no
event shall any such action by the Board or Committee adversely affect any
Participant or Beneficiary who has an Account, or result in any change in the
timing or manner of payment of the amount of any Account (except as otherwise
permitted under the Plan), without the consent of the Participant or
Beneficiary, unless the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, determines
in good faith that such action is necessary to ensure compliance with
Section 409A of the Code.

 

6

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

7.2. Payments Upon Termination of Plan. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.2, in the event that the Plan is terminated, the vested amounts
allocated to a Participant’s Sub-Accounts shall be paid to the Participant or
his Beneficiary on the dates on which the Participant or his Beneficiary would
otherwise receive payments hereunder without regard to the termination of the
Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Non-alienation of Deferred Compensation. Except as permitted by the Plan,
no right or interest under the Plan of any Participant or Beneficiary shall,
without the written consent of the Company, be (i) assignable or transferable in
any manner, (ii) subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, garnishment or other legal process or (iii) in any manner liable for
or subject to the debts or liabilities of the Participant or Beneficiary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the
Code and subject to Section 5.2 hereof, the Committee shall honor a judgment,
order or decree from a state domestic relations court which requires the payment
of part or all of a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s interest under this Plan to
an “alternate payee” as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

8.2. Participation by Employees of Affiliated Group Members. Any member of the
Affiliated Group may, by action of its board of directors or equivalent
governing body and with the consent of the Board, adopt the Plan; provided that
the Board may waive the requirement that such board of directors or equivalent
governing body effect such adoption. By its adoption of or participation in the
Plan, the adopting member of the Affiliated Group shall be deemed to appoint the
Company its exclusive agent to exercise on its behalf all of the power and
authority conferred by the Plan upon the Company and accept the delegation to
the Committee of all the power and authority conferred upon it by the Plan. The
authority of the Company to act as such agent shall continue until the Plan is
terminated as to the participating affiliate. The Account of a Participant
employed by a participating member of the Affiliated Group shall be paid in
accordance with the Plan solely by such member, unless the Board otherwise
determines that the Company shall be the obligor.

8.3. Interest of Participant.

(a) The obligation of the Company and any other participating member of the
Affiliated Group under the Plan to make payment of amounts reflected in an
Account merely constitutes the unsecured promise of the Company (or, if
applicable, the participating members of the Affiliated Group) to make payments
from their general assets and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Affiliated
Group. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as guaranteeing future employment
to Eligible Employees. It is the intention of the Affiliated Group that the Plan
be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. The Company
may create a trust to hold funds to be used in payment of its and the Affiliated
Group’s obligations under the Plan, and may fund such trust; provided, however,
that any funds contained therein shall remain liable for the claims of the
general creditors of the Company, and if applicable, the other participating
members of the Affiliated Group.

 

7

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

(b) In the event that, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the Company
and/or the other members of the Affiliated Group purchases an insurance policy
or policies insuring the life of any Participant (or any other property) to
allow the Company and/or the other members of the Affiliated Group to recover
the cost of providing the benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, neither the
Participants nor their Beneficiaries or other distributees shall have nor
acquire any rights whatsoever therein or in the proceeds therefrom. The Company
and/or the other members of the Affiliated Group shall be the sole owner and
beneficiary of any such policy or policies and, as such, shall possess and may
exercise all incidents of ownership therein. A Participant’s participation in
the underwriting or other steps necessary to acquire such policy or policies may
be required by the Company and, if required, shall not be a suggestion of any
beneficial interest in such policy or policies to such Participant or any other
person.

8.4. Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be
construed as giving any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable
right as against the Affiliated Group or the officers, employees or directors of
the Affiliated Group, except any such rights as are specifically provided for in
the Plan or are hereafter created in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Plan.

8.5. Severability. The invalidity and unenforceability of any particular
provision of the Plan shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan
shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision
were omitted.

8.6. Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the
provisions of the Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Ohio.

8.7. Successors. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company expressly
to assume this Plan. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company and any successor of or to the Company, including without limitation
any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company whether by sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the
“Company” for the purposes of this Plan), and the heirs, beneficiaries,
executors and administrators of each Participant.

8.8. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) The Affiliated Group may withhold or cause to be withheld from any payments
under this Plan all federal, state, local and other taxes as shall be legally
required.

(b) The Affiliated Group may, in its sole discretion, deduct from any amount of
salary, bonus, incentive compensation or other payment otherwise payable in cash
to the Participant (other than deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code) any taxes required to be withheld with respect to the
crediting or vesting of the Supplemental Contributions, including social
security and Medicare (FICA) taxes. In lieu of such deductions from other
compensation, the Affiliated Group may, in its sole discretion, require a
Participant to promptly pay to the Affiliated Group any such taxes that must be
withheld upon the crediting or vesting of any Supplemental Contributions.

 

8

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

8.9. Electronic or Other Media. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, including any provision that requires the use of a written
instrument, the Committee may establish procedures for the use of electronic or
other media in communications and transactions between the Plan or the Committee
and Participants and Beneficiaries. Electronic or other media may include, but
are not limited to, e-mail, the Internet, intranet systems and automated
telephonic response systems.

8.10. Headings; Interpretation. Headings in this Plan are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction
of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the
masculine pronoun wherever used herein shall be construed to include the
feminine pronoun.

8.11. Participants Deemed to Accept Plan. By accepting any benefit under the
Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through any such
Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and
any action taken under the Plan by the Board, the Committee or the Company or
the other members of the Affiliated Group, in any case in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Plan.
