Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”), subject to the forfeiture provisions and other terms of this Agreement. The Shares will be issued at no cost to you on the date[s] set forth below, provided that you have a vested right to such

VESTING AND DELIVERY OF SHARES: [All of the Shares will vest on [date]] or [The Shares will vest between the Grant Date and [last vesting date] with [%
or number of shares] vesting on [dates]] or, if earlier, upon a Separation of Service as described in Section 5.2 of the Plan within one year after a Change in Control of the Company (the “Vesting Date”); subject, however, to the
forfeiture and recoupment provisions set forth below. If you Separate from Service because of your death, Disability or Retirement, all the Shares subject to this award will vest on the date of your Separation from Service. On [the][each] Designated
Payment Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Company will deliver to you a certificate representing the Shares which vested on such date, unless you are a key employee and the Plan requires that issuance of the Shares be
postponed until the Specified Employee Delayed Payment Date, in which case Shares will be delivered on that date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. A “Separation from Service” generally means your termination of
employment with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries. [The] [A] “Designated Payment Date” is generally defined in the Plan as [the][each] Vesting Date or, if earlier, (a) the date you Separate from Service because of your death or
Disability or (b) the first payroll date following your Separation from Service because of your Retirement (or promptly thereafter). The “Specified Employee Delayed Payment Date” is generally defined in the Plan as the date that is
six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of your Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of your death). 
 NO
RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER PRIOR TO VESTING: Prior to the date Shares are issued to you, you will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares subject to this award. 
 FORFEITURE OF SHARES; RECOUPMENT: In the event you Separate from Service for any reason (other than as a result of your death, Disability, Retirement or a Separation of Service as described in
Section 5.2 of the Plan within one year after a Change in Control of the Company) prior to [the] [any] Vesting Date, then all unvested Shares subject to this award will be forfeited as of the date of your Separation from Service and any rights
with respect to such forfeited Shares will immediately cease. 
 The Company also has the right, under certain circumstances, as described in
Section 13.4 of the Plan, to cancel all or part of this award and/or to require you to return to the Company all or part of the Shares issued to you and/or the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any such Shares. 

CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION: In consideration of your receipt of this award, you agree as follows:

joint ventures, which information, knowledge or data the Company or any of its Subsidiaries considers to be proprietary, 







 
confidential, or not public knowledge (including but not limited to trade secrets) and that you obtain or have previously obtained during your employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(“Proprietary, Confidential or Non-Public Information”). During your employment with the Company or by any of its Subsidiaries, and after the termination of your employment for any reason, voluntary or involuntary, you will not directly or
indirectly use, communicate, divulge or disseminate any Proprietary, Confidential or Non-Public Information for any purpose not authorized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or for any purpose not related to the performance of your work for
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. At any time requested by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and in any event immediately upon the termination of your employment for any reason, voluntary or involuntary, you shall return all copies of
all documents, materials or information in any form, written or electronic or otherwise, that constitute, contain, refer or relate to any Proprietary, Confidential or Non-Public Information. 
 (b) During your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and for a period of two years after the termination of your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason,
voluntary or involuntary, you will not, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, engage in, invest in or participate in any business or activity conducted by any company listed or described in Exhibit A, attached hereto
(the “Competing Business”), whether as an employee, officer, director, partner, joint venturer, consultant, independent contractor, agent, representative, shareholder (other than as a holder of less than five percent (5%) of any class
of publicly traded securities of any such Competing Business) or in any other capacity. 
 (c) During your employment with the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries and for a period of one year after the termination of your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason, voluntary or involuntary, you will not, without the written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, solicit, entice, persuade or induce, or attempt to solicit, entice, persuade or induce (i) any customer, supplier, distributor or other person or entity that has a business relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective joint ventures) to direct or transfer away from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or such joint ventures) or eliminate, interfere with, disrupt, reduce or modify to the detriment of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or such joint ventures) any business, patronage or source of supply, or (ii) any person to leave the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any such joint ventures) (other than persons
employed in a clerical, non-professional or non-managerial position). 
 (d) You understand and agree that the restrictions set forth above,
including, without limitation, the duration and scope of such restrictions, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries. You further agree that the Company will be entitled to seek
and obtain injunctive relief against you in the event of any actual or threatened breach of such restrictions, and you hereby consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction and venue in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in
Hamilton County, Ohio, and you agree not to initiate any legal action relating to the subject matter hereof in any other forum. You understand and agree that this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or unreasonable by any Court, then such provision will be modified or omitted only to the extent
necessary to make such provision and the remaining provisions of this Agreement enforceable. 
 TAXES: You must pay all applicable U.S. federal,
state, local and foreign taxes resulting from the grant of this award and the issuance of the Shares. The Company has the right to withhold all applicable taxes due from future earnings (including salary, bonus or any other payments) or, at your
request, will withhold those taxes by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable under this award. In advance of [the][each] date on which the Shares become issuable, you may elect to pay the withholding amounts due by delivering to the
Company a number of the Shares that you own that have a fair market value on that date equal to the amount of the payroll withholding taxes due.

which contains important provisions of this award and forms a part of this Agreement. A copy of the Plan is being provided to you, along with a summary of the Plan. If there is any conflict between any provision of this








 
Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement will control, unless the provision is not permitted by the Plan, in which case the provision of the Plan will apply. Your rights and obligations under this
Agreement are also governed by and are subject to applicable U.S. laws and foreign laws.
