discretion, develop, and extend to some or all Members, procedures through which Members may pay an Option’s Exercise Price, including allowing a Member to tender Stock he or she already has owned for at least six months before the exercise
date, either by actual delivery of the previously owned Stock or by attestation, valued at its Fair Market Value on the exercise date, as partial or full payment of the Exercise Price.

dividends held in this escrow account. If any dividends or other distributions are paid in shares of Stock, those shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to
which they were issued. 
 7.05 Whole Share Grants. 
 [1] Subject to the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the Committee may elect to grant Whole Shares to Eligible Directors. If, from time to time, the Committee elects to grant Whole Shares, it may issue
a number of Whole Shares equal to [a] all, or any portion, as determined by the Committee, of the Fees payable to an Eligible Director for any fiscal quarter, divided by [b] the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the first
day of such fiscal quarter.

 [2] Subject to the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement, an Eligible Director may elect to
receive Whole Shares in lieu of the payment of up to 100 percent of any Fees to which such Eligible Director is otherwise entitled to receive; provided that such election is communicated to the Committee prior to the first day of the fiscal quarter
for which such Fees are otherwise payable. If an Eligible Director makes such an election, the Committee shall issue a number of Whole Shares equal to [a] the portion of the Fees elected by the Eligible Director to be paid in Whole Shares for
any fiscal quarter, divided by [b] the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the first day of such fiscal quarter. 
 [3] Any
Whole Shares issued under this Section 7.05 will be in lieu of any cash payment for such Fees to which the Eligible Director would otherwise be entitled. Share certificates for any Whole Shares issued under this Section 7.05 will be
distributed as soon as administratively practicable following the last day of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of this Section 7.05, ‘Fees’ means the fees otherwise payable in cash to the Eligible Director by the Company as
compensation for the Eligible Director’s service on the Board or any committee thereof for the applicable fiscal quarter of a Plan Year.

subject to Code §162(m) [“Code §162(m) Participants”] solely under the terms of Section 8.02, while Performance Shares and Performance Units will be granted to Participants who are not Code §162(m) Participants
solely under the terms of Section 8.03 
 8.02 Code §162(m) Participants. 
 [1] For each Performance Period, the Committee will establish the Performance Goal that will be applied to determine the Performance Shares or
Performance Units that may be distributed at the end of the Performance Period to any Code §162(m) Participant.

 [a] The effect on any Performance Goal of any Stock dividend or Stock split, recapitalization (including, without limitation, the payment of an
extraordinary dividend), merger, consolidation, combination, spin-off, distribution of assets to shareholders, exchange of shares or similar corporate change. This adjustment to the Performance Goal will be made [i] to the extent the
Performance Goal is based on Stock, [ii] as of the effective date of the event and [iii] for the Performance Period in which the event occurs. Also, the Committee will make a similar adjustment to any portion of a Performance
Goal that is not based on Stock but which is affected by an event having an effect similar to those just described. 
 [b] A
substantive change in a Code §162(m) Participant’s job description or assigned duties and responsibilities. 
 [4]
Performance Goals will be established and communicated to each affected Code §162(m) Participant in an Award Agreement no later than the earlier of:

practicable after the last day of the Performance Period, to the extent that related Performance Goals have been met.

Participants. At its discretion, the Committee may issue Performance Shares and Performance Units to Participants who are not Code §162(m) Participants (“Non-Code §162(m) Participants”) by applying the procedures described in
Section 8.02 or on any other basis it deems appropriate. These Performance Shares or Performance Units will be: 
 [1] Forfeited,
to the extent that any Performance Goals or other standards (if any) have not been met, and again become available to be granted under the Plan; or 
 [2] Valued and distributed, in a single lump sum in the form of cash, Stock or a combination of both (as determined by the Committee) at a time determined by the Committee, to the extent that related Performance Goals (if any) have
been met.

provides otherwise: 
 [1] Employees may not exercise voting rights associated with their Performance Shares or Performance Units; and

 [2] No dividends or other distributions made or declared during the Performance Period will be paid with respect to any Performance
Shares or Performance Units. 
 9.00 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 9.01 SAR Grants, Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, the Committee may grant Affiliated SARs, Freestanding SARs and Tandem SARs (or a combination of each) to Employees at any time during
the term of this Plan. 
 9.02 Exercise Price. Unless the Committee specifies otherwise in the Award Agreement, the Exercise Price specified in the
Award Agreement will: 
 [1] In the case of an Affiliated SAR, not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the Grant Date; 
  

 -14- 







 [2] In the case of a Freestanding SAR, not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on the Grant Date; and 
 [3] In the case of a Tandem SAR, not be less than the Exercise Price of the related Option.

 9.03 Exercise of Affiliated SARs. Affiliated SARs will be deemed to be exercised on the date the related Option is exercised. However: 

[1] An Affiliated SAR will expire no later than the date the related Option expires; 
 [2] The value of the payout with respect to the Affiliated SAR will not be more than the Exercise Price of the related Option; and 
 [3] An Affiliated SAR may be exercised only if the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the related Option is larger than the
Exercise Price of the related Option. 
 9.04 Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Freestanding SARs will be exercisable subject to the terms specified in
the Award Agreement. 
 9.05 Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised with respect to all or part of the shares of Stock subject to the
related Option by surrendering the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares of Stock for which its related Option is then exercisable. However: 
 [1] A Tandem SAR will expire no later than the date the related Option expires; 
 [2] The value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR will not be more than 100 percent of the difference between the Exercise Price of the
related Option and the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock subject to the related Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and 
 [3] A Tandem SAR may be exercised only if the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock subject to the Option is larger than the Exercise Price of the related Option. 
 9.06 Settling SARs. 
 [1] A Member exercising a Tandem SAR or a Freestanding SAR will receive
an amount equal to: 
 [a] The difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date and the Exercise

 -15- 







 [b] The number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Tandem SAR or Freestanding SAR is
exercised. 
 [2] A Member will not receive any cash or other amount when exercising an Affiliated SAR. Instead, the value of the
Affiliated SAR being exercised will be applied to reduce (but not below zero) the Exercise Price of the related Option. 
 At the discretion of the
Committee, the value of any Tandem SAR or Freestanding SAR being exercised will be settled in cash, shares of Stock or any combination of both. 
 10.00 TERMINATION 
 10.01 Retirement. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, all Awards that are outstanding (whether or
not then exercisable) when a Participant Retires may be exercised at any time before the earlier of [1] the expiration date specified in the Award Agreement or [2] 12 months (three months in the case of Incentive Stock
Options) beginning on the Retirement date (or any shorter period specified in the Award Agreement). 
 10.02 Death or Disability. Unless otherwise
specified in the Award Agreement, all Awards that are outstanding (whether or not then exercisable) when a Participant Terminates because of death or Disability may be exercised by the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary at any time

 10.04 Termination for any Other Reason. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement
or subsequently, any Awards that are outstanding when a Participant Terminates for any reason not described in Sections 10.01 through 10.03 and which are then exercisable, or which the Committee has, in its sole discretion, decided to make
exercisable, may be exercised at any time before the earlier of [1] the expiration date specified in the Award Agreement or [2] 90 days beginning on the date the Participant Terminates. 
 10.05 Limits on Exercisability/Forfeiture of Exercised Awards. Regardless of any other provision of this section or the Plan and unless the Committee specifies
otherwise in the Award Agreement or the Company subsequently consents in writing, a Member who fails to comply with Section 10.05[3] will: 
 [1] Forfeit all outstanding Awards; and 
 [2] Forfeit all shares of Stock or cash (including dividends held in escrow
under 
  

 -16- 







 Section 7.04[2]) acquired or received by the exercise of any Award, lapse of any restrictions or

consequence of a Change in Control as described in Section 11.00.

will apply if, within the time period described in Section 10.05[2] the Member “competes” with the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this section, “compete” means: 
 [a] Anywhere in the State of Ohio or in any other state in which the Company or any Subsidiary is conducting business when benefits are paid, the
Member, without the written consent of the Company, provides advice with respect to, engages in or directly or indirectly supervises or assists the provision of any service or sale of any product that competes with any service or product of the

engages in or directly or indirectly supervises or assists the provision of any service or sale of any product by any person, company, partnership, corporation or other entity that builds homes, develops land or otherwise competes with the Company
or any Subsidiary in any market, city or area in which the Company or any Subsidiary conducts business when benefits are paid. 
 11.00
CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 11.01 Accelerated Vesting and Settlement. Subject to Section 11.02, on the date of any Change in Control: 
 [1] [a] Each Option (other than Director Options) outstanding on the date of a Change in Control (whether or not exercisable) will be
cancelled in exchange [i] for cash equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price associated with the cancelled Option or, [ii] at the Committee’s discretion, for whole shares of Stock with a
Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price associated with the cancelled Option and the Fair Market Value of any fractional share of Stock will be distributed in cash, and [b] all related
Affiliated and Tandem SARs will be cancelled. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may offer the holders of the Options to be cancelled a reasonable opportunity (not longer than 15 days beginning on the date of the Change in Control) to
exercise all their outstanding Options (whether or not otherwise then exercisable) by following the exercise procedures described in Section 6.00; 
 [2] All Performance Goals associated with Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been met on the date of the Change in Control, all Performance 
  

 -17- 







 Periods accelerated to the date of the Change in Control and all outstanding Performance Shares and
Performance Units (including those subject to the acceleration described in this subsection) will be distributed in a single lump sum cash payment; 
 [3] All Freestanding SARs will be deemed to be exercisable and will be liquidated in a single lump sum cash payment; and 
 [4] All Restricted Stock will be released from escrow and distributed to the affected Employee (or any restrictions imposed on the distributed certificate removed). 
 11.02 Alternative Awards. Section 11.01 will not apply to the extent that the Committee reasonably concludes in good faith before the Change in Control occurs that Awards will be honored or assumed or new
rights substituted for the Award (collectively “Alternative Awards”) by the Employee’s employer (or the parent or a subsidiary of that employer) immediately after the Change in Control, provided that any Alternative Award must:

 [1] Be based on stock that is (or, within 60 days of the Change in Control, will be) traded on the Nasdaq National Market or a
national securities exchange or system; 
 [2] Provide the Employee (or each Employee in a class of Employees) rights and entitlements
substantially equivalent to the rights, terms and conditions of each Award for which it is substituted, including an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment, provided that such
substitution of an Award will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of any Award; 
 [3] Have substantially equivalent
economic value to the Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control) for which it is substituted; and 
 [4] Provide that, if the
Employee’s employment is involuntarily Terminated without Cause or constructively Terminated by the Employee, any conditions on the Employee’s rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, each Alternative
Award will be waived or lapse. 
 For purposes of this section, a constructive Termination means a Termination by an Employee following a material reduction
in the Employee’s compensation or job responsibilities (when compared to the Employee’s compensation and job responsibilities on the date of the Change in Control) or the relocation of the Employee’s principal place of employment to a
location at least 50 miles from his or her principal place of employment on the date of the Change in Control (or other location to which the Employee has been reassigned with his or her written consent), in each case without the Employee’s
written consent but only if the material reduction or relocation occurs within 24 months after the Change in Control. 
 11.03 Director Options. Upon
a Change in Control, each outstanding Director Option will be cancelled unless [1] the Stock continues to be traded on an established securities market after the Change in Control or [2] the Eligible Director continues to be
a Board member after the Change in Control. In the situations just described, the Director Option will be unaffected by a Change in 
  

 -18- 







 Control. Any Director Option to be cancelled under the next preceding sentence will be exchanged [3] for cash
equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price associated with the cancelled Director Option or [4] at the Committee’s discretion, for whole shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the excess of
the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price associated with the cancelled Director Option and the Fair Market Value of any fractional share of Stock will be distributed in cash. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may offer the
holders of the Director Options to be cancelled a reasonable opportunity (not longer than 15 days beginning on the date of the Change in Control) to exercise all their outstanding Director Options (whether or not otherwise then exercisable) by
following the exercise procedures described in Section 6.00. 
 11.04 Coordination of Change In Control Benefits. Unless otherwise specified in a
separate agreement between the Company and the Participant (including an Award Agreement), if the sum of the benefits received due to a Change in Control and those provided under all other plans, programs or agreements between the Participant and
the Company or any Subsidiary constitute “excess parachute payments” as defined in Code §280G(b)(1), the Company and or Subsidiary will reduce the amounts paid to the Participant under this Plan so that his or her total
“parachute payment” as defined in Code §280G(b)(2)(A) under this and all other plans, programs or agreements between the Participant and the Company or Subsidiary will be $1.00 less than the amount that would be an “excess
parachute payment.” 
 12.00 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 The Board or the Committee may terminate, suspend or amend the Plan at any time without shareholder approval except to the extent that shareholder approval is required
to satisfy applicable requirements imposed by [1] Rule 16b-3 under the Act, or any successor rule or regulation, [2] applicable requirements of the Code or [3] the Nasdaq National Market or any securities
exchange, market or other quotation system on or through which the Company’s securities are listed or traded. Also, no Plan amendment may [4] result in the loss of a Committee member’s status as a “non-employee
director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Act, or any successor rule or regulation, with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, [5] cause the Plan to fail to meet requirements imposed by Rule 16b-3 or
[6] without the consent of the affected Member, adversely affect any Award issued before the amendment, modification or termination. 
 13.00 MISCELLANEOUS 
 13.01 Assignability. Except as described in this section, an Award may not be transferred except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and, during the Member’s lifetime, may be exercised only by the Member, the Member’s guardian or legal representative. However, with the permission of the Committee, a Member or a specified group of Members
may transfer Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to a revocable inter vivos trust, of which the Member is the settlor, or may transfer Awards (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to any member of the 
  

 -19- 







 Member’s immediate family, any trust, whether revocable or irrevocable, established solely for the benefit of the
Member’s immediate family, any partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or members are members of the Member’s immediate family or an organization described in Code §501(c)(3) (“Permissible Transferees”).
Any Award transferred to a Permissible Transferee will continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions that applied to the Award before the transfer and to any other rules prescribed by the Committee. A Permissible Transferee [other than
an organization described in Code §501(c)(3)] may not retransfer an Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and then only to another Permissible Transferee. 
 13.02 Beneficiary Designation. Each Member may name a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive or to exercise any
vested Award that is unpaid or unexercised at the Member’s death. Each designation made will revoke all prior designations made by the same Member, must be made on a form prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when filed in
writing with the Committee. If a Member has not made an effective Beneficiary designation, the deceased Member’s Beneficiary will be his or her surviving spouse or, if none, the deceased Member’s estate. The identity of a Member’s
designated Beneficiary will be based only on the information included in the latest beneficiary designation form completed by the Member and will not be inferred from any other evidence. 
 13.03 No Guarantee of Employment or Participation. Nothing in the Plan may be construed as: 
 [1]
Interfering with or limiting the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to Terminate any Employee’s employment at any time; 
 [2]
Conferring on any Participant any right to continue as an employee or director of the Company or any Subsidiary; 
 [3]
Guaranteeing that any common-law employee will be selected to be a Participant; or 
 [4] Guaranteeing that any Member will receive
any future Awards. 
 13.04 Tax Withholding. 
 [1] The Company will withhold from other amounts owed to the Member, or require a Member to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements on any Award, exercise or
cancellation of an Award or purchase of Stock. If these amounts are not to be withheld from other payments due to the Member (or if there are no other payments due to the Member), the Company will defer payment of cash or issuance of shares of Stock
until the earlier of: 
 [a] Thirty days after the settlement date; or 
 [b] The date the Member remits the required amount. 
  

 -20- 







 If the Member has not remitted the required amount within 30 days after the settlement date, the Company
will permanently withhold from the value of the Awards to be distributed the minimum amount required to be withheld to comply with applicable federal, state and local income, wage and employment taxes and distribute the balance to the Member.

 [2] In its sole discretion, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason, the Committee may permit a Member to elect,
subject to conditions the Committee establishes, to reimburse the Company for this tax withholding obligation through one or more of the following methods: 
 [a] By having shares of Stock otherwise issuable under the Award withheld by the Company (but only to the extent of the minimum amount that must be withheld to comply with applicable state, federal and local
income, employment and wage tax laws); 
 [b] By delivering to the Company previously acquired shares of Stock that the Member has
owned for at least six months; 
 [c] By remitting cash to the Company; or 
 [d] By remitting a personal check immediately payable to the Company. 
 13.05 Indemnification. Each individual who is or was a member of the Committee or of the Board will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may
be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be made a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to
take action under the Plan as a Committee member and against and from any and all amounts paid, with the Company’s approval, by him or her in settlement of any matter related to or arising from the Plan as a Committee member or paid by him or
her in satisfaction of any judgment in any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising from the Plan against him or her as a Committee member, but only if he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the
matter before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it in his or her own behalf. The right of indemnification described in this section is not exclusive and is independent of any other rights of indemnification to which the individual may be
entitled under the Company’s organizational documents, by contract, as a matter of law or otherwise. 
 13.06 No Limitation on Compensation.
Nothing in the Plan is to be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its employees or directors, in cash or property, in a manner not expressly authorized under the Plan. 
 13.07 Requirements of Law. The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to all
required approvals of any 
  

 -21- 







 governmental agencies or national securities exchange, market or other quotation system. Also, no shares of Stock will be
issued under the Plan unless the Company is satisfied that the issuance of those shares of Stock will comply with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan may be subject to any stock
transfer orders and other restrictions that the Committee believes to be advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nasdaq National Market or any stock exchange or other recognized
market or quotation system upon which the Stock is then listed or traded, or any other applicable federal or state securities 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. 
 13.08 Term of Plan. The Plan will be effective upon its adoption by the Board and
approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the common shares issued and outstanding as of the record date for the first Annual Meeting occurring after the Board approves the Plan. Subject to Section 12.00, the
Plan will continue until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. 
 13.09 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, will be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio. 
 13.10 No Impact on Other
Benefits. Plan Awards are incentives designed to promote the objectives described in Section 1.00. Also, Awards are not compensation for purposes of calculating a Member’s rights under any other employee benefit plan. 
 13.11 Effect on Prior Plan. Upon shareholder approval of the Plan, the Prior Plan will terminate; however, all outstanding Awards at the time of termination will
continue to be governed by the rights and terms of the Prior Plan until exercised or forfeited.
