Performance Criteria during a performance period established by the Committee. 
10.2     Performance Criteria.
(a) The Performance Criteria for Performance-Based Awards shall be established
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

Company, one (1) or more of its Affiliates or one (1) or more of their
respective divisions or business units, or any combination of the foregoing, and
may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one (1) or more peer
group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, in each case, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that amounts relating to
or arising from extraordinary items, unusual or non-recurring events and/or
changes in applicable tax laws or accounting principles be included or excluded
from the Performance Criteria.
10.3     Establishment of Performance Goals. With respect to Performance-Based
Awards, the Committee shall establish (a) the applicable performance goals and

10.5     Increases Prohibited. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an
Award Agreement to the contrary, none of the Committee, the Board, the Company
or any Affiliate may increase the amount of compensation payable under a
Performance-Based Award. The Committee may adjust downward, but not upward, the

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE
With respect to each Award granted under the Plan, the Committee shall, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan, determine the extent to which the Award
shall vest and the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to
exercise and/or receive settlement of the Award on or following the
Participant’s termination of employment or services with the Company and/or any
of its Affiliates. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of
the Committee, shall be included in the related Award Agreement, need not be
uniform among all Participants or Awards granted under the Plan and may reflect
distinctions based on the reasons for termination. Except as otherwise provided
in the Plan, the vesting

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

conditions of an Award may only be accelerated upon the death, termination due
to Disability, or Retirement of the Participant.
 
ARTICLE XII
CHANGE IN CONTROL
Except as otherwise provided in the related Award Agreement, in the event of a
Change in Control, the Committee, in its sole discretion and without liability
to any person, may take such actions, if any, as it deems necessary or desirable
with respect to any Award that is outstanding as of the date of the consummation
of the Change in Control. Such actions may include: (a) the acceleration of the
vesting, settlement and/or exercisability of an Award; (b) the payment of a cash
amount in exchange for the cancellation of an Award; and/or (c) the issuance of
substitute awards that substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of
any affected Awards. Any action relating to an Award that is subject to
Section 409A of the Code shall be consistent with the requirements thereof.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
13.1     In General. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Board or the
Committee may amend or terminate the Plan or any Award Agreement at any time;
provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall be made without the
approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent that (a) the amendment
materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan,
(b) the amendment increases the aggregate number of Shares authorized for grant
under the Plan (excluding an increase in the number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan as a result of Section 2.6 of the Plan), (c) the amendment
materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the
Plan, or (d) such approval is required by any law, regulation or stock exchange
rule.
13.2    Awards Previously Granted. Subject to Article XII of the Plan, no
amendment or termination of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely
affect in any material way any outstanding Award previously granted under the
Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award,
provided that no such consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or
termination that the Board or the Committee determines, in its sole discretion,
is necessary or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or an Award to
satisfy or conform to any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of any
accounting standard.
13.3     Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.6 of the
Plan, in no event may the Board or the Committee, without shareholder approval,
(a) amend the terms of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to
reduce the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (b) cancel
an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for a new Option
or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price that is less than the
exercise price of the original Option or Stock Appreciation Right or (c) at any
time when the exercise price of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right is greater than the Fair Market Value of a Share, cancel such Option or

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

ARTICLE XIV
TRANSFERABILITY
14.1     Except as described in Section 14.2 or as provided in a related Award
Agreement, an Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and, during a Participant’s lifetime, may be exercised only by the
Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
14.2     A Participant’s beneficiary under the Plan shall be the Participant’s
spouse or, if no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate.

 
ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS
15.1     No Right to Continue Services or to Awards. Neither the Plan nor the
granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose any obligation on the Company
or any Affiliate to continue the employment or services of a Participant or
interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate
the services of any Employee, Director or Consultant at any time. In addition,
no Employee, Director or Consultant shall have any right to be granted any
Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s
interpretations and determinations with respect thereto need not be the same
with respect to each Participant.
     15.2     Tax Withholding.
(a) The Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the power and the
right to deduct, withhold or collect any amount required by law or regulation to
be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising with respect to an Award
granted under the Plan. This amount may, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion, be (i) withheld from other amounts due to the Participant,
(ii) withheld from the value of any Award being settled or any Shares being
transferred in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or
(iii) collected directly from the Participant.
(b) Subject to the approval of the Committee, a Participant may elect to satisfy
the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company or an
Affiliate, as applicable, withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date
the tax is to be determined equal to the statutory total tax that could be
imposed on the transaction; provided that such Shares would otherwise be
distributable to the Participant at the time of the withholding. All such
elections shall be irrevocable and made in writing and shall be subject to any
terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate.
15.3    Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. In any case in which a
Participant is permitted to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in
connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify the Company of such
election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal
Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and
notification required pursuant to Treasury Regulations issued under Section
83(b) of the Code or other applicable provision.
15.4     Requirements of Law. The Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards
thereunder and the issuance of Shares under such Awards shall be subject to all
applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (including all
applicable federal and state securities laws) and to all required approvals of
any governmental agencies or stock exchange, market or quotation system on which
the Shares are then listed or traded. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares under the Plan prior to
(a) receipt

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

of any approvals from any governmental agencies or stock exchange, market or
quotation system on which the Shares are then listed or traded that the
Committee deems necessary and (b) completion of registration or other
qualification of the Shares under any applicable federal, state or local law or
ruling of any governmental agency that the Committee deems necessary.
15.5     Legends. Certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan may be
subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions that the Committee
deems advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange, market or quotation
system upon which the Shares are then listed or traded or any other applicable
federal, state or local law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be
placed on any certificates issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference
to restrictions within the scope of this Section 15.5.
15.6     Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that the Plan provides for the
issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of
Shares may be effected on a uncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited
by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, market or
quotation system on which the Shares are then listed or traded.
15.7    Compensation Recovery. This provision applies to any policy adopted by
any exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed pursuant to
Section 10D of the Act. To the extent any such policy requires the repayment of
incentive-based compensation received by a Participant, whether paid pursuant to
an Award under the Plan or any other plan of incentive-based compensation
maintained in the past or adopted in the future by the Company, by accepting an
Award under this Plan, the Participant agrees to the repayment of such amounts
to the extent required by such policy or applicable law.
15.8     Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard
to its conflicts of law provisions.
15.9     No Impact on Benefits. Awards are not compensation for purposes of
calculating a Participant’s rights under any employee benefit plan that does not
specifically require the inclusion of Awards in calculating benefits.
15.10     Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or
in a related Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award unless and until the
Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares.
15.11    Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan,
and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be
given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be
eliminated by rounding up or down.
15.12     Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors
and assigns of the Company and each Participant, including the estate of such
Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s
creditors.
15.13     Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. Awards shall be designed,
granted and administered in such a manner that they are either exempt from the
application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan that is intended to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall be construed and interpreted
in accordance with such intent. If the Committee determines that an Award, Award
Agreement, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or any other
action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of the Plan would, if
undertaken, cause a Participant to become subject to additional taxes under
Section 409A of the Code, then unless the Committee specifically provides
otherwise, such Award, Award Agreement,

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

payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or other action or
arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and
the related provisions of the Plan and Award Agreement shall be deemed modified,
or, if necessary, suspended in order to comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code to the extent determined appropriate by the Committee, in each
case without the consent of or notice to the Participant. The exercisability of
an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be extended to the extent that
such extension would subject the Participant to additional taxes under Section
409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or an Award
Agreement to the contrary, if an Award is not exempt from the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, the Participant (or, if the Participant is not the
original grantee of the applicable Award, the original grantee of the applicable
Award) is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code) and a payment under the Award is due as a result of such individual’s
“separation from service” (as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code using the default rules), then no payment shall be made under the
Award due to such separation from service before the date that is six (6) months
after the date on which the Participant incurs such separation from service,
except as otherwise allowed by Section 409A of the Code.
15.14     Savings Clause. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

ARTICLE XVI
EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN
The Effective Date of the Plan is May 8, 2018. No Incentive Stock Options shall

granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date
or, if earlier, the date the Plan is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the termination of the Plan shall not preclude the Company from complying with
the terms of Awards outstanding on the date the Plan terminates. After the
Effective Date, no grants of awards shall be made under the Preexisting Plan.
