Amendment to Management Pension Plan effective January 1, 2005

 Exhibit(10)(iii)(A)(17.13) 
 AMENDMENT TO 
 CINCINNATI BELL MANAGEMENT PENSION PLAN 
 The Cincinnati Bell Management Pension Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of January 1, 2005 and in order to conform the
provisions of the Plan that provide certain excess benefits (that are not included in the portion of the Plan that is intended to qualify as a plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) to the requirements of section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code, by deleting current Section 18.15 of the Plan in its entirety and adding a new Article 21 reading as follows immediately after current Article 20 of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 21 
 NON-QUALIFIED EXCESS PLAN 
 This Article 21 shall provide benefits separate from the benefits provided by the Tax-Qualified Plan and is being set forth in this document only for the
convenience of using the Tax-Qualified Plan’s provisions in determining the terms and benefits of this Article 21. In fact, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Tax-Qualified Plan, this Article 21 shall be deemed to be separate from the
Tax-Qualified Plan (as set forth in the other Articles of this document) and shall be named the Cincinnati Bell Management Excess Plan (for purposes of this Article 21, the “Excess Plan”). All benefits provided under this Article 21 shall
be deemed to be provided not by the Tax-Qualified Plan but instead by the Excess Plan. 
 21.1 Purpose of Excess Plan. The Excess Plan
is intended to provide certain management and highly compensated Participants with supplemental retirement benefits to replace certain benefits not provided to them under the Tax-Qualified Plan due to certain legal and other limits that apply under
the Tax-Qualified Plan. The Excess Plan is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management and highly compensated employees (within the meaning of title I of ERISA) of the Participating Companies and is not
intended to be a plan subject to section 401(a) of the Code. 
 21.2 Definitions. For purposes of the Excess Plan, the
“Tax-Qualified Plan” means the plan as set forth in the remainder of this document (other than this Article 21), which plan is intended to be a plan that qualifies as a plan under section 401(a) of the Code. Except where the context
otherwise requires, any reference in the Tax-Qualified Plan to a benefit or a payment shall not be deemed to be referring to a benefit or payment made under the Excess Plan. Further, all capitalized terms that are used in this Article 21 and that
are defined in Article 2 of the Tax-Qualified Plan shall have the same meanings as they do in such Article 2. 
 21.3 Benefits.

 21.3.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 21.2 below, to the extent that the benefit that would otherwise be payable
to a Participant under the Tax-Qualified Plan (if it were payable in the form of a single sum payment made as of the date next following the date on which the Participant separates from 

  

 1 

 
service with the Participating Companies) is reduced from what it would be because of a limitation contained in Subsection 5.7.5, Section 10.1,
Section 10.2, Section 10.3, or Subsection 10.4.4 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (or any other provision of the Tax-Qualified Plan that carries into effect the requirements of Code section 401(a)(17) or Code section 415), then the single sum
amount by which such benefit is so limited (for purposes of this Article 21, the “Excess Plan Benefit”) shall be payable in fifteen annual installments (or, if less, a number of installments equal to the result, rounded up to the nearest
whole number, obtained by dividing the Excess Plan Benefit by $25,000) that commence as of the date determined in accordance with the provisions of Subsections 21.3.3 and 21.3.4 below (and under which each installment other than the first
installment shall be paid as of an annual anniversary of the benefit’s initial commencement date and shall be credited with assumed interest, at the rate called for under Subsection 5.5.2 or 5.5.3 of the Tax-Qualified Plan, as the case may be,
for the period from the initial commencement date of the Excess Plan Benefit to the applicable installment’s payment date). 
 21.3.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21.3.1 above, if a Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit is in excess of $25,000, the amount of the first installment of such benefit shall be increased, and the amount of the last
installment of such benefit shall be decreased, by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax imposed under Code sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) with respect to the Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit (or, if less, by the amount by which
the Excess Plan Benefit exceeds $25,000). 
 21.3.3 Prior to January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit
shall commence to be paid as of the earlier of (a) the date as of which his retirement benefit under the Tax-Qualified Plan begins to be paid (or, if later, the date next following the date on which the Participant separates from service with
the Participating Companies) or (b) the date next following the date of the Participant’s death. Effective January 1, 2009, in the event that a Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit has not commenced to be paid as of any date prior
to January 1, 2009, the Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit shall commence to be paid as of the first day of the first month that begins after the date on which the Participant separates from service with the Participating Companies (or, if
later, as of January 1, 2009). 
 21.3.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21.3.3 above, if a Participant is a
specified employee on the date he is deemed to have separated from service from the Participating Companies, then the date as of which the initial installment payment of the Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit shall be paid shall be deferred
until, and shall be paid as of, the date immediately following the date which is six months after the date he so separates from service. 
 (a) For purposes of the provisions of this Subsection 21.3.4, a Participant shall be deemed to be a “specified employee” on each and any day that occurs during any twelve month period that begins on an
April 1 and ends on the next following March 31 (for purposes of this paragraph (a), the “subject period”) if, and only if, (i) on any day that occurs in the twelve month 

  

 2 

 
period (for purposes of this paragraph (a), the “identification period”) that ends on the latest identification date that precedes the start of the
subject period any corporation or organization that is then an Affiliated Employer has stock which is publicly traded on an established securities market (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.897-1(m)) or otherwise and (ii) the
Participant is a key employee for the identification period (as determined under the provisions of Subsection 17.1.3 of the Tax-Qualified Plan and as if the identification period were a plan year of the Tax-Qualified Plan). 
 (b) Also for purposes of the provisions of this Subsection 21.3.4, the “identification date” means December 31. In this
regard, the Company has elected that December 31 serve as the identification date for purposes of determining specified employees in accordance with the provisions of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-1(i). 
 21.3.5 All installment payments of a Participant’s Excess Plan Benefit shall be paid to the Participant if he is still living at the
time of the payment. If the Participant is not living at the time of any installment payment of his Excess Plan Benefit, it shall be paid to any beneficiary whom he designates in a writing to the Committee prior to his death (or, if none, to his
estate). 
 21.3.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Excess Plan, a Participating Company shall have the right
(without notice to or approval by a Participant, his beneficiary, or any other person) to withhold from any amounts otherwise payable by the Participating Company to or on account of the Participant, or from any payment otherwise then being made by
the Participating Company to the Participant, his beneficiary, or any other person by reason of the Excess Plan, an amount which the Participating Company determines is sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, local, and foreign tax withholding
requirements that may apply with respect to such benefit payment made under the Excess Plan. To the extent such tax withholding requirements are satisfied from any payment otherwise then being made by the Participating Company to the Participant,
his beneficiary, or any other person by reason of the Excess Plan, the amount so withheld shall be deemed a distribution to the Participant, his beneficiary, or such other person, as the case may be. 
 21.3.7 The other provisions of this Section 21.3 indicate that any payment
that is made under the Excess Plan shall occur “as of” a specific date. However, in accordance with the provisions of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(d) and in order to permit a reasonable administrative period for the Participating Companies
to make payments required under the Excess Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 21.3 or any other provision of the Excess Plan, any payment that is made under the Excess Plan to or with respect to a Participant shall be
deemed to have been made as of the specific date as of which it is to be paid under the other provisions of the Excess Plan as long as it is made on such date or a later date within the same tax year of the Participant (or, if later, by the
15th day of the third calendar month following such specified date). 
  

 3 

 21.4 Funding Method. 
 21.4.1 Except as is otherwise provided in the Excess Plan, all payments of any benefit provided under the Excess Plan to or on account of
a Participant shall be made from the general assets of the Participating Company which last employed the Participant as an Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Excess Plan, neither the Participant, his beneficiary, nor any other
person claiming through the Participant shall have any right or claim to any payment of the benefit to be provided pursuant to the Excess Plan which in any manner whatsoever is superior to or different from the right or claim of a general and
unsecured creditor of such Participating Company. 
 21.4.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21.4.1 above, the
Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a trust (for purposes of this Subsection 21.4.2, the “Excess Plan Trust”) to which contributions may be made by a Participating Company in order to fund the Participating
Company’s obligations under the Excess Plan. If, and only if, the Company exercises its discretion to establish an Excess Plan Trust, the following paragraphs of this Subsection 21.4.2 shall apply (notwithstanding any other provision of the
Excess Plan). 
 (a) The part of the Excess Plan Trust attributable to any Participating Company’s contributions to such
trust (for purposes of this Subsection 21.4.2, such Participating Company’s “Excess Plan Trust account”) shall be a “grantor” trust under the Code, in that such Participating Company shall be treated as the grantor of such
Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code. 
 (b) Any Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account shall be subject to the claims of such Participating Company’s creditors in the event of such Participating Company’s insolvency. For purposes
hereof, a Participating Company shall be considered “insolvent” if either (i) such Participating Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due or (ii) such Participating Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a
debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. 
 (c) Except as may otherwise be required by the terms of the Excess Plan
Trust itself, a Participating Company may make contributions to its Excess Plan Trust account for the purposes of meeting its obligations under the Excess Plan at any time, and in such amounts, as such Participating Company determines in its
discretion. 
 (d) Any payment otherwise required to be made by a Participating Company under the Excess Plan shall be made by
such Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account instead of such Participating Company in the event that such Participating Company fails to make such payment directly and such Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account then
has sufficient assets to make such payment, provided that such Participating Company is not 

  

 4 

 
then insolvent. If such Participating Company becomes insolvent, however, then all assets of such Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account
shall be held for the benefit of such Participating Company’s creditors and payments from such Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account shall cease or not begin, as the case may be. 
 (e) Unless and except to the extent any payment required to be made pursuant to the Excess Plan by a Participating Company is made by such
Participating Company’s Excess Plan Trust account, the obligation to make such payment remains exclusively that of such Participating Company. 
 (f) The terms of the Excess Plan Trust are hereby incorporated by reference into the Excess Plan. To the extent the terms of the Excess Plan conflict with the terms of the Excess Plan Trust, the terms of the Excess
Plan Trust shall control. 
 21.5 Administration of and Claims Procedures under Excess Plan. The provisions of Article 13 of the
Tax-Qualified Plan, which Article concerns plan administrative matters, shall apply to the Excess Plan (as if, for this purpose, the Excess Plan were the Tax-Qualified Plan), except that any provisions of such Article 13 that involve the Trust, the
Trust Fund, or funding of the Plan shall not apply in any manner to the Excess Plan. In addition, the provisions of Article 14 of the Tax-Qualified Plan, which Article concerns claims and appeal procedures, shall apply to the Excess Plan (as if, for
this purpose, the Excess Plan were the Tax-Qualified Plan). 
 21.6 Amendment and Termination of Excess Plan. The Company may amend
the Excess Plan at any time and from time to time in any respect or terminate part or all of the Excess Plan at any time; provided that no such amendment or termination shall affect the payment (in accordance with the provisions of the Excess Plan)
of each Participant’s accrued benefit under the Excess Plan as determined as of the later of the effective date of the Excess Plan’s amendment or termination or the date the amendment or termination is adopted. For purposes of this
Section 21.6, a Participant’s “accrued benefit under the Excess Plan” means, as of any date, the Excess Plan Benefit that would have applied under the Excess Plan to the Participant if he had permanently ceased to be an Employee
no later than such date. The procedure for the Company to amend or terminate the Excess Plan shall be the same procedures for amending or terminating the Tax-Qualified Plan that are set forth in Section 15.6 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (as if,
for this purpose, the Excess Plan were the Tax-Qualified Plan). 
 21.7 Miscellaneous. 
 21.7.1 Except to the extent required by applicable law, no Participant (or beneficiary of his) may alienate, commute, anticipate, assign,
pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right to receive the payments required to be made under the Excess Plan, which payments and the right to receive them are expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable. In 

  

 5 

 
the event of any attempt to alienate, commute, anticipate, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right to receive the payments required to be
made under the Excess Plan, no Participating Company shall have any further obligation to make any payments otherwise required of it under the Excess Plan (except to the extent required by applicable law). 
 21.7.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21.7.1 above, any benefit payment otherwise due to a Participant under the Excess Plan
shall be made to a person other than the Participant to the extent necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)(1)(B)). 
 21.7.3 Nothing contained in the Excess Plan shall give any spouse or former spouse of a Participant any right to benefits under the Plan
of the types described in Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 (relating to qualified preretirement survivor annuities and qualified joint and survivor annuities). 
 21.7.4 For all purposes of the Excess Plan, a Participant shall be deemed to have separated from service with the Participating Companies
on the date he dies, retires, or otherwise has a separation from service with the Participating Companies’ controlled group. The following paragraphs of this Subsection 21.7.4 shall apply in determining when a Participant has incurred a
separation from service with the Participating Companies’ controlled group. 
 (a) The Participant’s service with
the Participating Companies’ controlled group shall be treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence where there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will
return to perform services for the Participating Companies’ controlled group (but not beyond the later of the date on which the leave has lasted for six months or the date on which the Participant no longer retains a right of reemployment with
the Participating Companies’ controlled group under an applicable statute or by contract). 
 (b) For purposes of the
Excess Plan, a separation from service of the Participant with the Participating Companies’ controlled group as of any date shall be determined to have occurred when, under all facts and circumstances, the Participating Companies and the
Participant reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed by the Participant for the Participating Companies’ controlled group after such date or (ii) the level of bona fide services the Participant will
perform for the Participating Companies’ controlled group after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an
employee or as an independent contractor) by the Participant for the Participating Companies’ controlled group over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of the Participant’s service for the Participating
Companies’ controlled group if such period has been less than 36 months). 
  

 6 

 (c) For purposes of this Subsection 21.7.4, the “Participating Companies’
controlled group” means, collectively, (i) each Participating Company and (ii) each other corporation or other organization that is deemed to be a single employer with a Participating Company under section 414(b) or (c) of the
Code (i.e., as part of a controlled group of corporations that includes a Participating Company or under common control with a Participating Company), provided that such Code sections will be applied and interpreted by substituting “at
least 50 percent” for each reference to “at least 80 percent” that is contained in Code section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) and in Treas. Reg. section 1.414(c)-2. 
 21.7.5 The provisions of (a) Section 2.2 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section provides that words used in any gender include
all other genders, and that the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, as the context may require), (b) Section 18.5 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the party or parties that have authority to act for the
Company), (c) Section 18.6 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the effect of the Tax-Qualified Plan on employment rights), (d) Section 18.7 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns applicable law),
(e) Section 18.8 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the separability of Tax-Qualified Plan provisions), (f) Section 18.9 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the effect of counterparts of the
Tax-Qualified Plan), (g) Section 18.10 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the effect of Tax-Qualified Plan headings), and (h) Section 18.13 of the Tax-Qualified Plan (which section concerns the administrator and
sponsor of the Tax-Qualified Plan) shall all apply to the Excess Plan (as if, for these purposes, the Excess Plan were the Tax-Qualified Plan). 
 21.7.6 The Excess Plan is intended to satisfy and comply with all of the requirements of section 409A of the Code and any Treasury regulations issued thereunder. The provisions of the Excess Plan shall be interpreted
and administered in accordance with such intent. 
 IN ORDER TO EFFECT THE FOREGOING PLAN CHANGES, the Plan’s sponsor, Cincinnati Bell
Inc., has caused its name to be subscribed to this Plan amendment.

 7Amendment to Management Pension Plan effective January 1, 2008

 Exhibit(10)(iii)(A)(17.14) 
 AMENDMENT TO 
 CINCINNATI BELL MANAGEMENT PENSION PLAN 
 The Cincinnati Bell Management Pension Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of January 1, 2008, by adding a new
Article 20 reading as follows immediately after the current Article 19 of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 20 
 2008 SPECIAL EARLY RETIREMENT BENEFITS 
 20.1 Overview. This Article 20 is effective as of January 1, 2008 and provides for special benefits to be provided certain Participants who accepted an early retirement offer of the Participating Employers, all as is provided
for in the following provisions of this Article 20. 
 20.2 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Article 20 only, the following
terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth. 
 20.2.1 The term “Eligible Participant” means any person who
was eligible under Section 20.3 below to be provided the early retirement offer described in this Article 20. 
 20.2.2
The term “Extra Lump Sum Formula Amount” means, with respect to any Eligible Participant who accepted the early retirement offer provided under this Article 20 and subject to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Subsection 20.2.2, an
amount equal to the sum of: (1) the product obtained by multiplying (A) a dollar amount equal to two weeks value of the Eligible Participant’s base rate of pay as determined on October 1, 2007 by (B) the number of the whole
years included in the Eligible Participant’s Net Credited Service as determined on October 1, 2007, up to but not in excess of 17 such years; and (2) the product obtained by multiplying (A) a dollar amount equal to four weeks
value of the Eligible Participant’s base rate of pay as determined on October 1, 2007 by (B) the number of the whole years included in the Eligible Participant’s Net Credited Service as determined on October 1, 2007 in
excess of 17 such years. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 20.2.2, an Eligible
Participant’s “Extra Lump Sum Formula Amount” shall in no event be deemed to exceed an amount equal to 78 weeks value of the Eligible Participant’s base rate of pay as determined on October 1, 2007. 
 (b) For purposes of this Subsection 20.2.2, if prior to October 1, 2007 an Eligible Participant was assigned to a sales division of a
Participating Employer and received Sales Incentive Compensation Awards, all such awards paid to him for the twelve month period ending on the day immediately preceding October 1, 2007 shall be taken into account in determining his base rate of
pay on October 1, 2007. In addition, for purposes of this Subsection 20.2.2 and except as is provided in the immediately preceding 

  

 1 

 
sentence, night differentials, overtime pay, team incentive and other awards, bonuses, and any other amounts not part of an Eligible Participant’s basic
rate of scheduled pay shall not be included in determining such Eligible Participant’s base rate of pay. 
 20.2.3 The
term “Normal Retirement Extra Single Life Annuity Benefit” means, with respect to any Eligible Participant who accepted the early retirement offer described in this Article 20 and when determined as of any date (for purposes of this
Subsection 20.2.3, the “subject date”), a hypothetical Single Life Annuity payable to the Eligible Participant that both (a) commences to be paid as of the later of the Eligible Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or the
Eligible Participant’s Offer Retirement Date and (b) has a monthly amount that is actuarially equivalent to a hypothetical single sum payment that both is made as of the subject date and is equal to the Eligible Participant’s Extra
Lump Sum Formula Amount. The actuarial assumptions to be used in making such actuarially equivalent calculation shall be solely the applicable interest rate and applicable mortality assumption that are in effect under Section 11.5 above for a
benefit for which the subject date is the benefit’s commencement date. 
 20.2.4 The term “Offer Retirement
Date” means, with respect to any Eligible Participant who accepted the early retirement offer described in this Article 20, the date the Participant ceases to be an Employee pursuant to such offer. 
 20.2.5 The term “Net Credited Service” means, with respect to any Eligible Participant, the Eligible Participant’s Term of
Employment that would be determined under the terms of the Prior Pension Plan if all references to a “Covered Employee” in such Prior Pension Plan were deemed to be references to an “Employee” (and if section 4.1.8 of such Prior
Pension Plan were disregarded). 
 20.3 Eligible Participants. Any person was eligible to be offered the early retirement offer
described in this Article 20 if, and only if, he met the following conditions: 
 20.3.1 He was on October 1, 2007 both a
Covered Employee and a Participant in the Plan; and 
 20.3.2 He would by December 31, 2009, if he remained an Employee
from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009, either (a) have Net Credited Service of 30 or more years, (b) both be age 50 and have Net Credited Service of 25 or more years, (c) both be age 55 and have Net Credited Service of
20 or more years, or (d) both be age 60 and have Net Credited Service of 10 or more years; and 
 20.3.3 He was or is not
prevented by the Participating Employers from accepting the early retirement offer provided under this Article 20 because of business needs of the Participating Employers. In this regard, the Participating Employers may take actions to exclude
employees performing certain jobs from 

  

 2 

 
being eligible for such offer and/or to limit the number of employees in the Participating Employers in the aggregate, or in any department, job, or other
unit, who will be permitted to accept such offer. 
 20.4 Offer. 
 20.4.1 The Participating Employers delivered or mailed written material to each Eligible Participant setting forth the early retirement
offer described in this Article 20 on or about December 7, 2007. 
 20.4.2 Such early retirement offer provided that an
Eligible Participant shall receive the benefits described in Sections 20.5 and 20.6 below if, and only if, the Eligible Participant satisfies all of the conditions set forth in the following paragraphs of this Subsection 20.4.2. 
 (a) He voluntarily terminated or terminates his employment with the Affiliated Employers on such date as was or is requested or agreed to
by the Participating Employers, which date shall, except as is indicated in the immediately following sentence, not be earlier than December 7, 2007 or later than December 31, 2010. However, if the Eligible Participant terminated his
employment with the Affiliated Employers between October 1, 2007 and December 7, 2007, he shall be deemed for all purposes of this Article 20 to have voluntarily terminated his employment with the Affiliated Employers on a date that was
requested or agreed to by the Participating Employers and to have met the condition set forth in this paragraph (a). 
 (b) He
accepted the early retirement offer described in this Article 20 by, and only by, signing a form prepared by the Participating Employers for this purpose (which form set forth the Eligible Participant’s agreement to accept the offer and, if
applicable, to retire in accordance with the rules of the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Subsection 20.4.2) and filing such signed form with the Participating Employers on or prior to December 31, 2007. 
 (c) He releases and waives any claims that he may have against the Affiliated Employers and all of the Affiliated Employers’ related
parties that are requested to be released by the Participating Employers in connection with the early retirement offer described in this Article 20 by, and only by, signing a form prepared by the Participating Employers for this purpose and filing
such signed form with the Participating Employers on his Offer Retirement Date or on any of the three immediately following business days (or, if he terminated his employment with the Affiliated Employers between October 1, 2007 and
December 7, 2007, by, and only by, signing a form prepared by the Participating Employers for this purpose and filing such signed form with the Participating Employers within such time, after he is notified as to the early retirement offer
described in this Article 20, as is provided him by the Participating Employers). 
  

 3 

 (d) He meets all other conditions imposed by the Participating Employers for accepting
such offer. 
 20.4.3 If an Eligible Participant did not accept the early retirement offer described in this Article 20 or
fails to meet all of the conditions set forth in Subsection 20.4.2 above, he shall not at any time be entitled to the benefits described in Sections 20.5 and 20.6 below. 
 20.5 Special Extra Retirement Benefit. If an Eligible Participant accepted the early retirement offer described in this Article 20 and complies with all of the conditions of such offer, he shall be entitled to
a special retirement benefit not otherwise provided under the foregoing Articles of this Plan. Such special retirement benefit is described in the following provisions of this Section 20.5 and is referred to in such provisions and in
Section 20.6 below as the “extra retirement benefit.” The monthly or single sum amount of the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit shall be determined under the provisions of Subsection 20.5.1 below, and all other
details of the extra retirement benefit (including such benefit’s form of payment and commencement date) shall be determined under the provisions of Subsections 20.5.2, 20.5.3, and 20.5.4 below. 
 20.5.1 The monthly or single sum amount of the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit shall be determined in accordance with
the following paragraphs of this Subsection 20.5.1. 
 (a) If the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit is paid
to the Eligible Participant in the form of a Single Life Annuity that commences as of any certain date (for purposes of this paragraph (a), the “subject commencement date”), then the monthly amount of such benefit shall be equal to the
greater of (i) the amount that would make such Single Life Annuity actuarially equivalent to a hypothetical single sum payment that both is made as of the subject commencement date and is equal to the Eligible Participant’s Extra Lump Sum
Formula Amount or (ii) the amount that would make such Single Life Annuity actuarially equivalent to the Eligible Participant’s Normal Retirement Extra Single Life Annuity Benefit determined as of the subject commencement date. The
actuarial assumptions to be used in making any of the actuarially equivalent calculations required under this paragraph (a) shall be solely the applicable interest rate and applicable mortality assumption that apply under Section 11.5
above to a benefit for which the subject commencement date is the benefit’s commencement date. 
 (b) If the Eligible
Participant’s extra retirement benefit is paid to the Eligible Participant in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity that commences as of any certain date, then the monthly amount of such benefit shall be the amount that would be
determined under Subsection 7.2.2 above if the extra retirement benefit were the Eligible Participant’s sole retirement benefit under the Plan. 
  

 4 

 (c) If the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit is paid to the Eligible
Participant in the form of a single sum payment that is made as of any certain date (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “subject payment date”), then the single sum amount of such benefit shall be an amount equal to the greater of
(i) the Eligible Participant’s Extra Lump Sum Formula Amount or (ii) the amount that would make such single sum payment actuarially equivalent to the Eligible Participant’s Normal Retirement Extra Single Life Annuity Benefit
determined as of the subject payment date. The actuarial assumptions to be used in making any of the actuarially equivalent calculations required under this paragraph (c) shall be solely the applicable interest rate and applicable mortality
assumption that apply under Section 11.5 above to a benefit for which the subject payment date is the benefit’s commencement date. 
 20.5.2 Except to the extent otherwise provided or modified in Subsection 20.5.3 below or Subsection 20.5.4 below or to the extent the context of this Article 20 otherwise requires, all of the provisions of this
Plan (other than Articles 3, 4, 5, and 9 above) shall apply as if the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit were added to and were a part of the Eligible Participant’s retirement benefit accrued under the Articles of this Plan
that precede this Article 20 as of his Offer Retirement Date and as such benefit may be modified under the provisions of Section 20.6 below (for purposes of this Section 20.5 and Section 20.6 below, his “regular retirement
benefit”). In particular, except to the extent otherwise provided or modified in Subsection 20.5.3 below or Subsection 20.5.4 below, the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit and regular retirement benefit shall be deemed to be
one retirement benefit for purposes of determining the form of and commencement date of such benefits and applying the provisions of Articles 10 and 17 above (which provide for benefit limits and top heavy plan rules). 
 20.5.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 20.5.2 above but subject to the provisions of Subsection 20.5.4 below, as a special
option and not in any event limiting the forms of benefit in which the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit and regular retirement benefit can be paid, the Eligible Participant may elect to receive his extra retirement benefit and
regular retirement benefit, in lieu of the normal form of benefit otherwise payable under Section 7.2 above or any other optional form of benefit described in Section 7.3 above and provided all of the election provisions of
Section 7.4 above are met, in the following forms: 
 (a) a Single Life Annuity for his regular retirement benefit and a
single sum payment for his extra retirement benefit; or 
 (b) if the Eligible Participant is married as of the commencement
date of his retirement benefits under the Plan, a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for his regular retirement benefit and a single sum payment for his extra retirement benefit. 
 The commencement date of the payment of each of his regular retirement benefit and his extra retirement benefit must in such case still be the same date and determined as if the Eligible Participant’s extra
retirement benefit and regular retirement benefit were one benefit.

 20.5.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 20.5.2 and 20.5.3 above, if the
Eligible Participant voluntarily terminated his employment with the Affiliated Employers and commenced the payment of his regular retirement benefit as of any date before January 1, 2008, then (a) the Eligible Participant’s extra
retirement benefit shall not be added to or treated as a part of the Eligible Participant’s regular retirement benefit, (b) the commencement date of the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit may not occur prior to
January 1, 2008, and (c) the form and commencement date of the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit shall be determined as if such benefit were the sole retirement benefit under the Plan (except that the provisions of
Section 7.5 above, that provide for an automatic cashout of a retirement benefit, shall apply to the Eligible Participant’s extra retirement benefit only if such provisions would have applied to the combination of the Eligible
Participant’s extra retirement benefit and regular retirement benefit had such regular retirement benefit not previously commenced to be paid). 
 20.6 Special Early Retirement Discount Factors for Regular Retirement Benefit. If an Eligible Participant (a) accepted the early retirement offer described in this Article 20, (b) complies with all of
the conditions of such offer, and (c) has an Offer Retirement Date that is prior to December 31, 2009, then, in addition to the extra retirement benefit under Section 20.5 above, he shall have his regular retirement benefit under the
Plan determined in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan but with the following adjustment: his Prior Pension Plan Amount (as is otherwise defined in Subsection 9.2.4(a) above) as of the commencement date of his regular retirement benefit
(which Prior Pension Plan Amount is sometimes used to help determine his regular retirement benefit) shall be determined under the provisions of Subsection 9.2.4(a) above but with any early retirement discount reduction factors set forth in the
provisions of the Prior Pension Plan that are used in such determination (to the extent the provisions of Subsection 9.2.4(a) above would require that such Prior Pension Plan early retirement discount factors are used in determining the Prior
Pension Plan Amount) being applied in such determination of the Prior Pension Plan Amount based on the age and service with the Affiliated Employers that the Eligible Participant would have on December 31, 2009 if he continued in the employment
of the Affiliated Employers from his Offer Retirement Date to December 31, 2009 (except that his age for such purposes will be based on his actual age on the commencement date of the benefit if such commencement date occurs after
December 31, 2009). 
 IN ORDER TO EFFECT THE FOREGOING CHANGES TO THE PLAN, the Plan’s sponsor, Cincinnati Bell Inc., has caused
its name to be subscribed to this Plan amendment.
