Beneficiaries and all other persons who have or claim an interest herein. 
 4. Eligibility. The Committee

Performance Period. 
 5. Establishment of Award Opportunities. Not later than the 90th day of each Performance Period
and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 of the Performance Bonus Plan (including the limits on an Eligible Executive’s maximum Short-Term Incentive Bonuses), the Committee shall establish the Target Award and Payout Formula
for each Eligible Executive’s Award Opportunity for the Performance Period. The Committee shall provide a Notice of Award to each Eligible Executive as soon as practical following the establishment of the Eligible Executive’s Target Award

 6. Determination of Short-Term Bonus Amount Payable Under Award Opportunities. Following the end
of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing (i) the level of achievement of FCF Margin for the Performance Period, (ii) the amount of the Award Opportunity, if any, earned by each Eligible Executive for the

cash payment to each Eligible Executive equal to the amount of the Short-Term Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan, if any, as certified by the Committee pursuant to Section 6. The cash payment shall be made following the end of the
Performance Period and the certifications by the Committee pursuant to Section 6, but not later than two and one-half months following the end of the applicable Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of an Eligible

A. Terminations. Except as otherwise provided herein, an Eligible Executive must remain continuously employed by
the Company through the last day of a Performance Period in order to be entitled to receive payment of any Short-Term Incentive Bonus pursuant to this Plan for such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the


  
 4 








 
event of an Eligible Executive’s termination of employment during a Performance Period due to death, Disability, Retirement, or termination of employment by the Company without Cause, the
Eligible Executive will be entitled to receive a prorated Short-Term Incentive Bonus for that Performance Period equal to the product of the amount of the Award Opportunity earned by the Eligible Executive as certified by the Committee pursuant to
Section 6 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of continuous employment during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is twelve; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, reduce the amount of the Short-Term Incentive Bonus payable to any Eligible Executive under this Section 8.A (including a reduction in such amount to zero). Any such prorated bonus will be payable at the time provided in
Section 7. 
 B. Promotions and New Hires. With respect to an Eligible Executive who is newly hired
or is promoted by the Company during a Performance Period, the Committee may grant an Award Opportunity, or adjust an Award Opportunity previously granted, to such Eligible Executive for such Performance Period pursuant to regulations adopted by the
Committee under the Performance Bonus Plan; provided, however, that no Award Opportunity shall be granted or adjusted in such a manner as to cause any Short-Term Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan to fail to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 9. Tax Withholding. The Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to deduct from all payments made to or for the benefit of an Eligible Executive any federal, state, local, foreign or
other taxes which, in the opinion of the Company, are required to be withheld with respect to any Short-Term Incentive Bonus payable under the Plan. 
 10. Source of Payment. Each Short-Term Incentive Bonus that may become payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to
create a trust or to establish or evidence any Eligible Executive’s claim of any right to payment of a Short-Term Incentive Bonus other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled.

 11. Rights of Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan nor any action taken under this Plan shall be construed as a
contract of employment or as giving any Eligible Executive any right to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate. 

12. Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated,
assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, and these benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Eligible Executive or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or
executions against any Eligible Executive to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Executive may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (both primary and contingent) to receive, in the event of the Eligible
Executive’s death, any amounts remaining to be paid with respect to the Eligible Executive under the Plan. The Eligible Executive shall have the right to revoke any such designation and to re-designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. To be
effective, any such designation, revocation, or re-designation must be in such written form 

  
 5 








 
as the Company may prescribe and must be received and accepted by the Company prior to the Eligible Executive’s death. Any finalized divorce or marriage of an Eligible Executive subsequent
to the date of a Beneficiary designation shall revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as a Beneficiary and unless in the case of marriage the Eligible Executive’s new spouse has previously
been designated as a Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Eligible Executive shall consent to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse, and the spouse’s consent shall be witnessed by a notary public. If an Eligible Executive dies
without effectively designating a Beneficiary, or if either all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Eligible Executive or the Eligible Executive and all designated Beneficiaries die prior to any payment yet to be made under the Plan , any
amounts remaining to be paid with respect to the Eligible Executive under the Plan shall be paid to the estate of the Eligible Executive. 
 13. Successors. The rights and obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company. 

14. Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Opportunities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 
 15. Amendment or Termination. The Committee
reserves the right, at any time, without either the consent of, or any prior notification to, any Eligible Executive or other person, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Award Opportunity granted thereunder, in whole or in part, in any
manner, and for any reason; provided that any such amendment shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and provided further that any such amendment shall not, after the end of the 90-day period described in Section 5 of the Plan, cause the amount payable under an Award Opportunity to be increased as compared to the amount
that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established as of the end of such period. 
 16. Claw-back Policy.
Each Award Opportunity granted, and each Short-Term Incentive Bonus paid, pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Claw-back Policy. 
 17. Section 409A of the Code. It is the Company’s intent that each Short-Term Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code under the “short-term deferral” exception set out in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. The Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. 

18. Plan and Performance Bonus Plan Terms Control. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any Notice of
Award and the terms and conditions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any Notice of Award or of this Plan and the terms and conditions of the Performance
Bonus Plan, the terms and conditions of the Performance Bonus Plan shall prevail to the extent necessary for Short-Term Incentive Bonuses paid under this Plan to qualify as 

  
 6 








 
“performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 

19. Severability. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan. 
 20. Waiver. The waiver by the Company of any breach of
any provision of the Plan by an Eligible Executive shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 

21. Captions. The captions of the sections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any of its provisions.
