ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION

The Plan is a plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.
Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed and administered in the manner
appropriate to maintain the Plan’s status as such under the Act. To the extent
that the Act applies to the Plan, the Company shall be the “named fiduciary” of
and the “plan administrator” of the Plan. The Company shall be responsible for
the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions
hereof. The Employers shall be responsible for making any required benefit
payments under the Plan. The Company shall have the sole and absolute authority
and power to administer and carry out the provisions of the Plan, except that
the Employers shall make any required benefit payments hereunder; to determine
all questions relating to eligibility for and the amount of any benefit
hereunder and all questions pertaining to claims for benefits and procedures for
claim review; to resolve all other questions arising

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

6

under the Plan, including any questions of construction; and to take such
further action as the Company shall deem advisable in the administration of the
Plan. All actions taken and decisions made by the Company hereunder be final and
binding upon all interested parties.

ARTICLE V
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

1.Right to Amend or Terminate. The Company reserves the right in its sole and
absolute discretion to amend or terminate the Plan at any time by action of its
Board of Directors subject to the requirements of this Article; provided,
however, that no such action shall adversely affect the right of any Employee or
beneficiary to any Excess Benefit determined under the provisions of the Plan
previously in effect for any period of time that the Employee was a Participant.
2.Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination or amendment of this Plan may
accelerate payment of Excess Benefits to any Participant except under the
following conditions subject to the mandatory six-month delay for Specified
Employees:
(1) The Company may terminate and liquidate the Plan within 12 months of a
corporate dissolution taxed under section 331, or with the approval of a
bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts
deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the
latest of the following years (or, if earlier the taxable year in which the
amount is actually or constructively received): (a) the calendar year in which
the Plan termination and liquidation occurs; (b) the first calendar year in
which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or
(c) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively
practicable.

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

7

(2) The Company may terminate and liquidate the Plan pursuant to irrevocable
action taken by the Board of Directors within the 30 days preceding or the 12
months following a change in control event (as defined in Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-3(i)(5)), provided that this paragraph will only apply to a payment
under the plan if all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements
sponsored by the Company immediately after the time of the change in control
event with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been
deferred under a single plan under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) are
terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant that experienced the
change in control event, so that under the terms of the termination and
liquidation all such participants are required to receive all amounts of
compensation deferred under the terminated agreements, methods, programs and
other arrangements within 12 months of the date the Company irrevocably takes
all necessary action to terminate and liquidate the agreements, methods,
programs, and other arrangements.
(3) The Company may terminate and liquidate the Plan, provided that (a) the
termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the
financial health of the Company; (b) the Company terminates and liquidates all
agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Company
that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated agreements, methods,
programs, and other arrangements under Treasury Regulation §1.409-1(c) if any
Participant had deferrals of compensation under all of the agreements, methods,
programs, and other arrangements that are terminated and liquidated; (c) no
payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12 months of the date the
Company takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the
Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if
the action to

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

8

terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred; (d) all payments are made
within 24 months of the date the Company takes all necessary action to
irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan; and (e) the Company does not adopt
a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan
under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c) if the same service provider participated
in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the service
recipient takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the
Plan.

ARTICLE VI
ADOPTION BY AFFILIATED EMPLOYERS

Any Affiliated Employer that at the time is not an Employer hereunder may adopt
the Plan and become an Employer hereunder by action of its Board of Directors
and by filing written notice thereof with the Company. Each Employer other than
the Company shall have the right to withdraw from the Plan by action of its
Board of Directors and by filing written notice thereof with the Company, in
which event the Employer shall cease to be an Employer for purposes of the Plan;
provided, however, that no withdrawal shall affect the right of any Employee or
beneficiary to any Excess Benefits for any period of time that the Employee was
an Excess Benefit Employee.

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS

1.    Non-Alienation of Retirement Rights or Benefits. No Employee and no
beneficiary of an Employee shall encumber or dispose of such person’s right to
receive any

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

9

payments hereunder. Payments hereunder, or the right thereto, are expressly
declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable. If an Employee or
beneficiary attempts to assign, transfer, alienate, or encumber the right to
receive any payment hereunder or permits the same to be subject to alienation,
garnishment, attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, then thereafter during
the life of such Employee or beneficiary, and also during any period in which
any Employee or beneficiary is incapable in the judgment of an Employer of
attending to personal financial affairs, any payments which an Employer is
required to make hereunder may be made, in the sole and absolute discretion of
the Employer, either directly to such Employee or beneficiary or to any other
person for the future care, use or benefit of such Employee or beneficiary or
that of such person’s dependents, if any. Each such payment may be made without
the intervention of a guardian, the receipt of the payee shall constitute
complete satisfaction for the Employer with respect thereto, and the Employer
shall have no responsibility for the proper application thereof.
2. Plan Non-Contractual. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a
commitment or agreement on the part of any person employed by an Employer to
continue employment with the Employer, and nothing herein contained shall be
construed as a commitment on the part of an Employer to continue the employment,
the annual rate of compensation, or any term or condition of employment of such
person for any period, and all Employees shall remain subject to discharge to
the same extent as if the Plan had never been put into effect.
3.    Interest of Employee an Unfunded, Unsecured Promise. The provision of this
paragraph 3 shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary. All benefits payable under the Plan are payable solely from an
Employer’s general assets.

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

10

The obligation of an Employer under the Plan to provide an Employee or
beneficiary a benefit is solely the unfunded, unsecured promise of the Employer
to make payments as provided herein. No person shall have any interest in, or a
lien or prior claim upon, any property of an Employer with respect to such
benefits greater than that of a general creditor of the Employer.
4.    Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be
construed as giving any person, firm, or corporation any legal or equitable
right as against any Employer, its officers, employees, or directors, 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.
5.    Absence of Liability. No member of the Board of Directors of any Employer
nor any officer of any Employer shall be liable for any act or action hereunder,
whether of commission or omission, taken by any other member, or by an officer,
agent, or employee, or, except in circumstances involving his bad faith, for
anything done or omitted to be done by himself.
6.    No Competition. The right of any Employee or beneficiary to an Excess
Benefit will be terminated, or, if payment thereof has begun, all further
payments will be discontinued and forfeited in the event such Employee (i) at
any time subsequent to the effective date wrongfully discloses any secret
process or trade secrets of the Company or any Affiliated Employer, or any of
the Company’s subsidiaries, or (ii) engages, either directly or indirectly, as
an officer, trustee, employee, consultant, partner, or substantial shareholder,
on his own account or in any other capacity, in a business venture that

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

11

within the ten-year period following his retirement the Company’s Board of
Directors reasonably determines to be competitive with the Company’s or any of
its Affiliated Employers, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, to a degree
materially contrary to the best interests of the Company or any of its
Affiliated Employers, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries.
7.    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular
provision of the Plan shall not effect any other provision hereof, and the Plan
shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision
were omitted herefrom.
8.    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
9.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. (a) 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 amounts deferred hereunder 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 Beneficiaries. This Plan
shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that affects such
intent, and the Committee shall not take any action that would be inconsistent
with such intent.
(b) 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 deferrals under this Plan is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither
the Company, the other members of the Affiliated Group, the Board, 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.

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

12

(c) 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 deferred or payable under the Plan to be includible in the gross income
of a Participant or Beneficiary under Section 409(A)(a)(1) of the Code.
