Award) and the related Shares, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine; and 
 (vi) to modify or waive any
restrictions, contingencies or limitations contained in, and grant extensions to the terms or exercise periods of, or accelerate the vesting of, any outstanding Awards, as long as such modifications, waivers, extensions or accelerations would not
either cause the Award to be treated as the granting of a new Award or an extension of the Award under Code Section 409A that is not exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of Section 409A or be inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, but no such changes 

  

 7 








 
shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent unless required by law or integrally related to a requirement of law. 
 3.3 Guidelines. The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the Plan and any Awards granted under the Plan, to

Committee’s authority, powers, responsibilities and administrative duties under the Plan, with such conditions and limitations as the Committee shall prescribe in writing; provided, however, that only the Committee is authorized to grant Awards
to, or make any decisions with respect to Awards granted to, Officers. A record of all actions taken by any Officer to whom the Committee has delegated a portion of its powers or responsibilities shall be filed with the minutes of the meetings of
the Committee and shall be made available for review by the Committee upon request. 
 3.5 Decisions Final. Any action,
decision, interpretation or determination by or at the direction of the Committee (or of any person acting under a delegation pursuant to Section 3.4) concerning the application or administration of the Plan or any Award(s) shall be final and

Awards denominated in dollars, granted in each case to any one individual during any one calendar-year period that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation. If delivery of Shares earned under a Performance Award is delayed, any additional
Shares attributable to dividends paid during such period of delayed delivery shall be disregarded for purposes of this paragraph. 
 4.3
Re-Use of Shares. If any Award granted under this Plan shall expire, terminate or be forfeited or canceled for any reason before it has vested or been exercised in full, the number of unissued or undelivered Shares subject to such Award
shall again be available for future grants. The Committee may make such other determinations regarding the counting of Shares issued pursuant to this Plan as it deems necessary or advisable, provided that such determinations shall be permitted by
law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares that are tendered to or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with any Award under the Plan, as well as any Shares tendered to or withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax
withholding obligations related to any Award, shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. In addition, a SAR settled in Shares of Common Stock shall be considered settled in full against the number of Shares available for award.

recapitalization, reorganization, exchange of shares, liquidation, combination or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares) or make a distribution to shareholders of cash or property which, has an impact on the value of outstanding
Shares, then the numbers of Shares and SAR units specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the specified or fixed numbers of Shares or SAR units covered by each outstanding Award, and, if applicable, the Option Price, Reference Price, or performance goals

 9 








 (b) Other Equitable Adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and
without affecting the number of Shares or SAR units reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance, continuation or assumption of Awards or provide for equitable adjustments or changes in the terms of Awards, in connection
with any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, acquisition of property or stock, recapitalization, reorganization or similar occurrence in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem
equitable and appropriate; provided, that the numbers and types of Shares or SAR units covered by each outstanding Award shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

or a Subsidiary terminating such Employee’s service for any reason other than for Cause within one (1) year after a Change in Control, (A) all Awards held by such Participant shall fully Vest immediately prior to such Separation from

liquidate, then (A) the Committee shall cause written notice of such proposed transaction to be given to each Participant not less than 30 days prior to the anticipated date on which such proposed transaction is to be consummated, and

Stock Options and SARs in accordance with this Section 5.3 shall be deemed annulled and of no force or effect and (b) to the extent that any Award shall have Vested solely by operation of this Section 5.3, such Vesting shall be deemed

Replacement Option Grant Date will be the date of the exercise of the original Option. 
 (c) Option Price. The Option Price
per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Replacement Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, except that in no event shall the Option Price be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the Replacement Option Grant Date.

 (d) Vesting. The Replacement Option shall be exercisable no earlier than one (1) year after the Replacement Option
Grant Date. 
 (e) Term. The Term of the Replacement Option will not extend beyond the Term of the original Option to which the

 SECTION VIII. 
 RESTRICTED AND
UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 
 8.1 Grants of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant one or more
Restricted Stock Awards to any Eligible Person. Each Restricted Stock Award shall specify the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant, the date of such issuance, the price, if any, to be paid for such Shares by the Participant and the
restrictions imposed on such Shares. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock subject to the attainment of specified performance goals, continued employment or such other limitations or restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such
conditions may, but need not, be conditions that cause the Award to be treated as subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Sections 83 or 409A of the Code). 
  

 14 








 8.2 Terms and Conditions of Restricted Awards. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to
the following provisions: 
 (a) Issuance of Shares. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued immediately upon grant or
upon vesting, as determined by the Committee. If Shares are to be issued upon vesting, such Shares shall be delivered on or before the Short-term Deferral Deadline, except that Shares that vest on account of the Participant’s Separation from
Service by reason of Retirement in accordance with Section 11.1(a) shall be delivered on the first payroll date following the date of Separation from Service (the “Designated Payment Date”). If the Shares cannot be
delivered on the Designated Payment Date because it is administratively impracticable, the Shares will be delivered as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than a date within the same taxable year of the Participant as the
Designated Payment Date or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the Designated Payment Date; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of
delivery of the Shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) if it is reasonably determined that Section 409A of the Code will result in the imposition of additional tax on account of the delivery of the Shares before the expiration of the
6-month period described in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (relating to the required delay in payment to a specified employee pursuant to a Separation from Service), such delivery will in lieu thereof be made on the date that is six (6) months
and one (1) day following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant) (the “Specified Employee Delayed Payment Date”), and (ii) a Participant may
defer delivery of the Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award to a date or dates after the Restricted Stock Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) if the terms of the
Restricted Stock Award and any deferral election comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. A Participant shall be a “specified employee” for purposes of this Plan if he or she is a specified employee as such term is
defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) and in accordance with such rules as may be established by the Committee (including its delegate) from time to time. 
 (b) Stock Powers and Custody. If shares of Restricted Stock are issued immediately upon grant, the Committee may require the Participant to deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, relating
to the Restricted Stock covered by such an Award. The Committee may also require that the stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions on them shall have lapsed. 
 (c) Shareholder Rights. Participants receiving Restricted Stock Awards that provide for issuance of the Shares upon vesting (including
Shares that vest on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service by reason of Retirement in accordance with Section 11.1(a)) shall not be entitled to dividend or voting rights in respect of any such Shares until they are fully
vested and issued. 
  

 15 








 8.3 Unrestricted Stock Awards. The Committee may make Awards of unrestricted Common Stock
to (i) Eligible Persons in recognition of outstanding achievements or contributions by such persons or (ii) Directors for service on the Board. Unrestricted Shares issued under this Section 8.3 may be issued for no cash consideration.
In the event an Unrestricted Stock Award is granted, the Shares subject to such Award shall be issued immediately upon (or as promptly as is administratively practicable after) grant; provided that a Participant may defer delivery of the Shares
subject to an Unrestricted Stock Award to a later date or dates if the terms of the Unrestricted Stock Award and any deferral election comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 SECTION IX. 
 PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 9.1 Performance Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Awards to Eligible Persons in accordance
with the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Grant. A Performance Award shall consist of the right to receive either
(i) Common Stock or cash of an equivalent value, or a combination of both, at the end of a specified Performance Period (defined below) or (ii) a fixed-dollar amount payable in cash or Shares, or a combination of both, at the end of a
specified Performance Period. The Committee shall determine the Eligible Persons to whom and the time or times at which Performance Awards shall be granted, the number of Shares or the amount of cash to be awarded to any person, the duration of the
period (the “Performance Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, a Participant’s Performance Award will vest, and the other terms and conditions of the Performance Award in addition to those set forth in
Section 9.2. 
 (b) Performance Criteria and Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee shall designate any Performance
Award granted to a Participant that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation. Any Performance Award designated as intended to be Performance-Based Compensation shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more objective performance
goals, based on one or more Performance Measures, to the extent required by Code Section 162(m). Any Performance Award under this Section 9.1 not designated as intended to be Performance-Based Compensation may be conditioned on such
performance goals, factors, or criteria as the Committee shall determine. Such conditions may, but need not, be conditions that cause the Performance Award to be treated as subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code). 
 9.2 Terms and Conditions of Performance Awards. Performance Awards granted pursuant to this
Section IX shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  

 16 








 (a) Shareholder Rights. A Participant receiving a Performance Award shall not be entitled
to dividend or voting rights in respect of the Shares covered by the Performance Award until the Award has vested in whole or part and any Shares earned have been issued. 
 (b) Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Award Agreement and this Plan, at the expiration of the Performance Period, share certificates, cash or both (as the Committee may determine) shall be
delivered to the Participant, or his or her legal representative or guardian, in a number or an amount equal to the vested portion of the Performance Award. In no event shall the shares certificates, cash or both be delivered later than the
Short-term Deferral Deadline, except that shares certificates, cash or both that are payable on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service by reason of Retirement in accordance with Section 11.1(a) shall be delivered on the
Designated Payment Date unless it is reasonably determined that Code Section 409A will result in the imposition of additional tax on account of such payment before the expiration of the 6-month period described in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i),
in which case such payment will be made on the Specified Employee Delayed Payment Date; provided that a Participant may defer payment under a Performance Award to a date or dates after the Performance Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk
of forfeiture if the terms of the Performance Award and any deferral election comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) Non-Transferability. Performance Awards shall not be Transferable except in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3 of this Plan. 
 (d) Termination of Employment. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and this Plan, upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason during the Performance Period
for a given Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee. 
 SECTION X. 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 10.1 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted
shall be for a specified number of units and have such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with this Plan, as are established by the Committee in connection with the Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock Appreciation Rights
may be granted only to Eligible Persons residing in jurisdictions outside the United States to whom, in the Committee’s judgment, it is not practicable to grant Stock Options due to the tax and other laws and regulations of such jurisdictions.

  

 17 








 10.2 Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights granted
pursuant to this Section X shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Reference
Price. The Reference Price per Share unit subject to a SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, except that in no event shall the Reference Price be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the
Award Date. 
 (b) Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Appreciation
Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after its Award Date. 
 (c) Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right
shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (d) Distribution. The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion, at or after the Award Date, whether Shares, cash or a combination thereof shall be delivered to the holder upon exercise of a SAR. Shares so delivered
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of the SAR’s exercise. 
 (e) Non-Transferability and Termination.
SARs shall be Transferable only to the extent provided in Section 13.3 of this Plan and shall terminate in accordance with Section XI of this Plan. 
 (f) No Right to Defer. In no event shall a SAR awarded under this Plan include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the
exercise of the SAR. 
 (g) Fixed Number of Shares. The number of Shares subject to a SAR shall be fixed on the Award Date.

 SECTION XI. 
 TERMINATION OF AWARDS 
 11.1 Termination of Awards to Employees and Directors. Subject to the provisions of
Section 11.3, all Awards issued to Employees and Directors under this Plan shall terminate as follows: 
 (a) Termination by
Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, if such a Participant Separates from Service by reason of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, any Awards held by the Participant
shall become fully Vested and, in the case of Stock Options and SARs, may thereafter be exercised by the Participant or by the Participant’s beneficiary or legal 

  

 18 








 
representative for a period of three (3) years (or such longer period as the Committee may specify at or after grant, which period may not exceed the
10th anniversary of the original date of grant of the Stock Option or SAR) after the date of such Separation from Service or until the expiration of the stated term of such Award, whichever period is shorter. 
 (b) Termination For Cause. If such a Participant Separates from Service for Cause, or if after such separation the Participant engages in
any act which would have warranted a Separation from Service for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit all of his or her rights to any outstanding Awards which have not been exercised and all of such unexercised Awards shall terminate upon the
earlier to occur of the date of Separation from Service or the date upon which the Participant has engaged in any of the conduct described as justifying such a separation for Cause. 
 (c) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, if such a Participant Separates from Service for
any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, all of the Participant’s Vested or otherwise exercisable Stock Options and SARs will terminate on the earlier to occur of the stated expiration date of the Awards or ninety
(90) calendar days after such Separation from Service. If a Participant dies during the ninety (90) day period following the Separation from Service, any unexercised Award held by the Participant shall be exercisable, to the full extent
that such Award was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one (1) year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of the Award, whichever occurs first. 
 11.2 Awards to Advisors. An Award granted to an Advisor shall terminate as provided in the Award Agreement. 
 11.3 Acceleration of Vesting Upon Termination. Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service, excluding, however, any Participant who
has been terminated for Cause, either the Committee or, unless the Committee determines otherwise, the Chief Executive Officer may, in its or his sole discretion: 
 (a) Accelerate the Vesting of, or otherwise cause to be exercisable or free of restrictions, all or part of any Awards held by the
Participant so that such Awards will be fully or partially exercisable as of the date of Separation from Service or such other date as the Committee or Chief Executive Officer may choose; and 
 (b) Extend the exercise period of all or part of any Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant for up to five years from the date of
termination (whether such termination was because of death, Disability, Retirement or otherwise), but in no event longer than the earlier of the original expiration date of such Award or the 10th anniversary of the original date of grant of the
Stock Option or SAR; 
 provided, however, that (i) no person or entity other than the Committee shall have the authority or discretion
to accelerate the Vesting of, otherwise cause to be 

  

 19 








 
exercisable or free of restrictions or conditions, or extend the exercise period of, any Award granted to an Officer or Director of the Company, and
(ii) such acceleration, waiver, or extension shall not cause the Award to be treated as the granting of a new Award or an extension of the Award under Section 409A of the Code that is not exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of
Section 409A. 
 11.4 Repricing, Exchange and Repurchase of Awards. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan,
without shareholder approval and the consent of each affected Participant, this Plan does not permit (i) any decrease in the Exercise Price, Reference Price or other purchase price of an Award or any other decrease in the pricing of an
outstanding Award, (ii) the issuance of any substitute Option or SAR with a lower Exercise Price or Reference Price than an existing Option or SAR which is forfeited or cancelled in exchange for the substitute Option or SAR, or (iii) the
repurchase by the Company of any Option or SAR with an Exercise Price or Reference Price above Fair Market Value at the time of such repurchase. Additionally, in no event shall any offer to reprice, exchange or repurchase an Award cause the original
Award, the newly granted Award or the consideration to be paid upon repurchase to be treated as the granting of a new award under Section 409A of the Code that is not exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of Section 409A.

 SECTION XII. 
 TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THIS PLAN 
 12.1 Termination or Amendment. The Board may at any time, amend, in
whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of this Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or integrally related to a requirement of law, the rights of a Participant with respect to
any Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant. In addition, no amendment may be made without first obtaining shareholder approval if such amendment would increase
the maximum number of Shares or amount of cash which may be granted to any individual Participant, or increase the total number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan, or if such approval is required pursuant to applicable requirements of
the Code, the Exchange Act or the listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Board, in its discretion, may amend the Plan or any Award, to take effect
retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or Award to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code and
all applicable guidance promulgated thereunder. The Board may delegate its authority to 
  

 20 








 
amend the Plan to the Committee in respect of any matter not requiring shareholder approval. 
 SECTION XIII. 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 13.1 No Right to Continued Employment. The adoption of this Plan and the granting of Awards hereunder shall not confer upon any Employee
the right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time. 
 13.2 Awards to Persons Outside the United States. To the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with foreign law or practice, the
Committee may, without amending this Plan: (i) establish special rules applicable to Awards granted to Eligible Persons who are either or both foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, including rules that differ from those set
forth in this Plan, and (ii) grant Awards to such Eligible Persons in accordance with those rules; provided that such special rules and provisions of the Award Agreements evidencing such Awards do not cause the Plan or such Awards to be
considered to be compensatory arrangements subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in violation of the exemption for foreign arrangements contained in any guidance issued thereunder. 
 13.3 Non-Transferability of Awards. Except as provided in the following sentence, no Award or benefit payable under this Plan shall be
Transferable by the Participant during his or her lifetime, nor may it be assigned, exchanged, pledged, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and no Award shall be exercisable by
anyone other than the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative during such Participant’s lifetime. The Committee may in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, permit a Participant to transfer a Non-Qualified
Stock Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Award or Performance Award for no consideration to a member of, or for the benefit of, the Participant’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust in which members of the Immediate Family
have more than a 50% beneficial interest, to a partnership or limited liability company for one or more members of the Immediate Family, or to a foundation in which members of the Immediate Family hold more than 50% of the voting interests), subject
to such limits as the Committee may establish and so long as the transferee remains subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to such Award. The following shall be considered transfers for no consideration: (i) a transfer under a
domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; and (ii) a transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by the Participant or members of the Immediate Family, in exchange for an interest in
that entity. 
 13.4 Other Plans. In no event shall the value of, or income arising from, any Awards issued under this
Plan be treated as compensation for purposes of any pension, profit sharing, life insurance, disability or other retirement or welfare benefit plan now 

  

 21 








 
maintained or hereafter adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless such plan specifically provides to the contrary. 
 13.5 Unfunded Plan. For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, this Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded
plan of incentive compensation, and it is not intended to provide retirement income, to result in a deferral of income for periods extending to the termination of employment or beyond, or to provide welfare benefits. This Plan shall be unfunded and
shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. This Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Participant or any other person. To the extent any
person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 13.6 Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to this Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares or the
payment of any cash to a Participant, payment by the Participant of any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes which the Company reasonably believes are required by law to be withheld. The Committee may permit all or a portion of any such
withholding obligation (not exceeding the minimum amount required to be so withheld) to be satisfied by reducing the number of shares otherwise deliverable or by accepting the delivery of Shares previously owned by the Participant, which Shares
shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the exercise date in the case of a Stock Option and on the vesting date in the case of a Restricted Stock Award. Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy such tax obligations shall
be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant. The Company or a Subsidiary may also withhold from any future earnings of salary, bonus or any other payment due to the Participant the amount necessary to satisfy
any outstanding tax obligations related to the grant or exercise of any Award granted pursuant to this Plan. 
 13.7 Reimbursement of
Taxes. The Committee may provide in its discretion that the Company or a Subsidiary may reimburse a Participant for Federal, state, local and foreign tax obligations incurred as a result of the grant or exercise of an Award issued under this
Plan. In no event shall such reimbursement occur later than the Short-term Deferral Deadline. 
 13.8 Governing Law. This Plan
and all actions taken in connection with it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 
 13.9 Liability. No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary nor member of the Committee or the Board shall be liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
any Award granted hereunder and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all employees and members of the Committee and the Board shall be indemnified by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any liability and expenses 

  

 22 








 
which they may incur through any claim or cause of action arising under or in connection with this Plan or any Awards granted under this Plan. 
 13.10 Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the
Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, stock, and/or assets of the Company. 
 13.11 Transactions Involving Common Stock. Under no circumstances shall the Shares issued under this Plan include or be subject to a
permanent mandatory repurchase obligation (other than a right of first refusal) or put or call right if the Share price under such right or obligation is based on a purchase price other than a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of such
Shares. 
 13.12 Exemption from, or Compliance with, Section 409A. For federal income tax purposes, the Plan and
the Awards granted hereunder are intended to be either exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and all Awards granted hereunder shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these
intentions.

 B-2.4. Attainment of Performance Goals. Subject to Section B-2.5, a Participant otherwise entitled to receive a Long-Term Incentive Award, or portion thereof, that is designated as intended to be Performance-Based Compensation
shall not receive a settlement of the award or portion until the Committee has determined that the applicable performance goal(s) have been attained. To the extent that the Committee exercises discretion in making the determination required by this
Section B-2.4, such exercise of discretion may not result in an increase in the amount of the Award. 
 B-2.5. Exceptions to
Performance Goal Requirement. If a Participant is not employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the last day of the Performance Period, the Participant shall not be entitled to any Long-Term Incentive Award for that period; provided,
however, that if a Participant’s Separation from Service is for any reason other than Cause and as of such date of separation the performance goals, factors or criteria on which payment of the Award are conditioned (other than any Passage of
Time Criteria) cause the Award to be continue to be treated as subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the Participant’s Long-Term Incentive Award shall be determined in accordance with
the terms of the Program as though the Participant had been employed on the last day of the Performance Period, with such amount distributable at the time distributable to other Participants who are actively employed, and subject to such reduction
as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, determines to be appropriate. 
 SECTION B-3 DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Subject to Section B-2.4, a Participant’s Long-Term Incentive Award shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or in Shares at such time and in
such form as is determined by the Committee, but in no event later than the Short-term Deferral Deadline; provided that a Participant may defer payment of the Long-Term Incentive Award to a date or dates after such time if the terms of the Long-Term
Incentive Award and any deferral election comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and further provided that, to the extent that distribution is made in Shares of Common Stock, the Shares shall be subject to such vesting or
other restrictions as the Committee may establish.
