Establishment of Plan. The Greif, Inc. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) amends, restates and continues the previously established Greif Bros. Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Prior

 Article 3. Eligibility and Participation 
 3.1.
Eligibility. All Employees who are designated by the Committee to be key Employees shall be eligible to receive an Award Opportunity under the Plan. In general, an Employee may be designated as a key Employee if such Employee is responsible for or
contributes to the management, growth, and/or profitability of the business of the Company in a material way. 
 3.2. Participation.
Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually or for each Performance Period by the Committee based upon the criteria set forth in Section 3.1 herein. Employees who are chosen to participate in the Plan for any given Performance Period
shall be so notified in writing, and shall be apprised of the Performance Criteria and related Award Opportunities determined for them for the relevant Performance Period, as soon as is practicable after such Award Opportunities are established.

 3.3. Partial Performance Period Participation. An Employee who becomes eligible after the beginning of a Performance Period may
participate in the Plan for that Performance Period. Such situations may include, but are not limited to (a) new hires; or (b) when an Employee is promoted from a position which did not previously meet the eligibility criteria. 

The Committee, in its sole discretion, retains the right to prohibit or allow participation in the initial Performance Period of eligibility for any
of the aforementioned Employees. 
 3.4. No Right to Participate. No Participant or other Employee shall at any time have a right to be
selected for participation in the Plan for any Performance Period, whether or not he or she previously participated in the Plan. 
 Article 4. Award
Determination 
 4.1. Performance Criteria. Prior to the beginning of each Performance Period, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but
in no event later than 90 days following the first day of the Performance Period), the Committee shall select and establish performance goals for that Performance Period, which, if met, will entitle Participants to the payment of the Award
Opportunities. Such performance goals shall be established without regard to length of service with the Company, and shall be based on targeted levels of increase in (a) earnings per share, and (b) free cash flow, as hereinafter defined,
or (c) such other measures of performance success as the Committee may determine. For purposes of the Plan, “free cash flow” means the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities for the Performance Period, subject to
such adjustments that the Committee determines are necessary or proper to reflect accurately the free cash flow of the Company. 

 For each Performance Period, the Committee may, in its discretion, establish a range of performance goals
which correspond to, and will entitle Participants to receive, various levels of Award Opportunities based on percentage multiples of the Target Incentive Award. Each performance goal range shall include a level of performance designated as the
“100% Award Level” at which the Target Incentive Award shall be earned. In addition, each range may include levels of performance above and below the one hundred percent (100%) performance level, ranging from a minimum of 0% to a
maximum of 200% of the Target Incentive Award. 
 After the performance goals are established, the Committee will align the achievement of
the performance goals with the Award Opportunities (as described in Section 4.2 herein), such that the level of achievement of the pre-established performance goals at the end of the Performance Period will determine the Final Awards.

 4.2. Award Opportunities. As soon as practicable after establishing Performance Criteria in accordance with Section 4.1 above, but in
no event later than 90 days following the first day of each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish, in writing, Award Opportunities, which correspond to various levels of achievement of the pre-established Performance Criteria. The
established Award Opportunities shall vary in relation to the job classification of each Participant. In the event a Participant changes job levels during a Performance Period, the Participant’s Award Opportunity may, subject to
Section 4.3 below, be adjusted to reflect the amount of time at each job level during the Performance Period. 
 4.3. Adjustment of
Performance Criteria. Once established, the Performance Criteria normally shall not be changed during the Performance Period. However, if the Committee determines that external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially
affected the fairness of the goals, or that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the Performance
Criteria unsuitable, then the Committee may approve appropriate adjustments to the Performance Criteria (either up or down) during the Performance Period as such criteria apply to the Award Opportunities of specified Participants; provided, however,
that no modification shall be made in the case of any award to a Participant who is, or is determined by the Committee to be likely to become, a Covered Employee if the effect would be to cause the award to fail to qualify for the performance-based
exception to Code Section 162(m). In addition, at the time the award subject to Performance Criteria is made and Performance Criteria are established, the Committee is authorized to determine the manner in which the Performance Criteria will be
calculated or measured to take into account certain factors over which Participants have no or limited control, including market related changes in inventory value, changes in industry margins, changes in accounting principles, and extraordinary
charges to income. 
 4.4. Final Award Determinations. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, at the end of each Performance Period,
the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Criteria were met during the Performance Period. Thereafter, the Committee shall determine and compile Final Awards for each Participant. Final Award amounts shall be
described in the Final Award Documents, and may vary above or below the Target Incentive Award based on the level of achievement of the pre-established corporate, divisional, and/or individual performance goals, provided, however, that the range of
such variance shall be between 0% and 200% of the Target Incentive Award in accordance with the pre-established performance goal ranges. 
 The Target Incentive Award for each Participant will be a percentage of that Participant’s average base salary (exclusive of any bonus and other benefits) (the “Base Salary”) during the 

 Performance Period; provided, however, that in the event that a Covered Employee’s average Base Salary during the
Performance Period exceeds by more than 130% the Base Salary of that Covered Employee on the first day of the Performance Period, such Covered Employee’s average Base Salary for purposes of calculating the Final Award shall be capped at 130% of
such Covered Employee’s Base Salary on the first day of the Performance Period. In addition, in no event shall the Final Award paid to any Employee under the Plan for any Performance Period exceed $6,000,000. 
 4.5. Threshold Levels of Performance. The Committee may establish minimum levels of performance goal achievement under the Performance Criteria, below
which no payouts of Final Awards shall be made to any Participant. 
 4.6. Performance Criteria Applicable to Covered Employees.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Performance Criteria applicable to any Participant who is, or who is determined by the Committee to be likely to become, a Covered Employee shall be limited to growth, improvement or
attainment of certain levels of: 
 (a) return on capital, equity, or operating costs; 
 (b) economic value added; 
 (c) margins; 
 (d) total stockholder return on market value; 
 (e) operating profit or net income; 
 (f) cash flow, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; 
 (g) sales, throughput, or product volumes; and/or 
 (h) costs or expenses. 
 Such
Performance Criteria may be expressed either on an absolute basis or relative to other companies selected by the Committee. This Section 4.6 is intended to ensure compliance with the exception from Code Section 162(m) for qualified
performance-based compensation, and shall be construed, applied and administered accordingly. 
 Article 5. Payment of Final Awards 
 5.1. Form and Timing of Payment. 
 (a) Generally. Each Participant’s Final Award shall be paid in a combination of cash, in one lump sum, and Restricted Shares, as determined by the Committee no later than the time the relevant Performance Criteria and Award
Opportunities were established , no sooner than 75 days after the end of each Performance Period and no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the taxable year of the Participant in which the Final Award was earned. The number of Restricted Shares awarded shall be based on the average closing price of such Restricted Shares during
the ninety (90) day period preceding the last trading day that precedes the day that the Performance Criteria for the applicable Performance Period were established, rounded down to the next nearest whole share. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine whether an award of Restricted Shares shall be Class A, Class B, or a combination of Class A and Class B Shares. 

 (b) Transfer of Restricted Shares. A Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, assign,
or otherwise alienate or hypothecate Restricted Shares granted hereunder until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction, as set forth in the Participant’s Final Award Document. All rights with respect to Restricted Shares granted to a
Participant under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant. The Company shall retain the certificates representing Restricted Shares in the Company’s possession until such time as the applicable Periods of
Restriction have expired. Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the applicable Period of Restriction, subject to any applicable securities laws. 
 5.2. Unsecured Interest. No Participant or any other party claiming an interest in amounts earned under the Plan shall have any interest whatsoever in
any specific asset of the Company. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive cash or Restricted Shares under the Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 Article 6. Termination of Employment 
 6.1.
Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability, or “retirement” (as determined by the Committee), the Final Award determined in
accordance with Section 4.4 herein shall be reduced to reflect participation prior to termination only. The reduced award shall be determined by multiplying said Final Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of
employment in the Performance Period through the date of employment termination, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. In the case of a Participant’s Disability, the employment termination shall be deemed
to have occurred on the date that the Committee determines the definition of Disability to have been satisfied. The Final Award thus determined shall be paid as soon as practicable and reasonable following the end of the Performance Period in which
employment termination occurs, but in no event shall such amount be paid sooner than 75 days after the end of such Performance Period nor later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the taxable year of the Participant in which the Final Award was earned. 
 6.2. Beneficiary Designations. 
 (a) General. Each Participant under the Plan may, from time
to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before such Participant receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation
will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during his or her lifetime. 
 (b) Invalidity of Powers of Attorney. The Plan shall not recognize beneficiary designations made on a Participant’s behalf by the
Participant’s attorney in fact, or by any person acting under a power of attorney or any instrument by which the Participant has appointed another person as his or her agent, thereby conferring upon him or her the authority to perform certain
specified acts on the Participant’s behalf. 

 (c) Failure of Beneficiary Designation. In the absence of a beneficiary designation made
by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.2(a), or if the beneficiary named by a Participant predeceases him or her, then the Committee shall pay any benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death to the Participant’s
surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse at his or her date of death, then the Committee shall pay the remaining benefit hereunder to the Participant’s Children per capita and to any deceased Child’s Descendants per
stirpes. If no spouse, Children or Descendants survive the Participant, then the Committee shall pay any remaining benefits hereunder to the Participant’s estate. 
 6.3. Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated before the date payment of the Final Award is made for any reason other than death, Disability, or
“retirement” as described in Section 6.1, all of the Participant’s rights to any unpaid Final Award shall be forfeited. 
 Article 7.
Rights of Participants 
 7.1. Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to
terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company. 
 7.2. Nontransferability. No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien, directly, by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, execution, levy,
garnishment, attachment, pledge, and bankruptcy. 
 7.3. Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed for any purpose to be or to have
the rights and privileges of the owner of any Restricted Shares to be awarded under the Plan until such Participant shall have become the holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Participant who has received a Final Award shall have
the following rights during the Period of Restriction: 
 (a) Voting Rights. Such Participants may exercise full voting rights
with respect to Restricted Shares. 
 (b) Dividends and Other Distributions. Such Participants shall receive regular cash
dividends paid by the Company with respect to the underlying Shares while they are so held. 
 7.4. Foreign Participants. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.3, the Committee may, in order to fulfill the Plan purposes and without amending the Plan, modify Award Opportunities granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States to the extent
necessary to recognize differences in local law, tax policy or custom. 
 Article 8. Administration 
 8.1. The Committee. The Committee, as defined in Section 2.6, shall administer the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and
shall serve at the discretion of, the Board. All Committee members shall be members of the Board, and must be “non-employee directors,” as such term is described in Rule 16b-3, if and as such Rule is in effect, and “outside
directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. The Board shall
fill vacancies in the Committee. 

 8.2. Authority of the Committee. 
 (a) General. Except as limited by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, and subject to the provisions
herein, the Committee shall have full power to select Employees who shall participate in the Plan; determine the size and types of Award Opportunities and Final Awards; determine the terms and conditions of Award Opportunities in a manner consistent
with the Plan; construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; establish, amend, or waive rules and regulations for the Plan’s administration; and (subject to the provisions of Article 4 herein)
amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award Opportunity to the extent such terms and conditions are within the discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. Further, the Committee shall make all other determinations, which may be
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. As permitted by law, the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, and the Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers and other persons, and may delegate as
appropriate its authorities as identified hereunder. The Committee, the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or evaluations of any such persons. 
 (b) Facility of Payment. If the Committee deems any person entitled to receive any amount under the provisions of the Plan to be incapable
of receiving or disbursing the same by reason of minority, illness or infirmity, mental incompetency, or incapacity of any kind, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any one or more of the following actions: 
 (i) apply such amount directly for the comfort, support and maintenance of such person; 
 (ii) reimburse any person for any such support theretofore supplied to the person entitled to receive any such payment; 
 (iii) pay such amount to any person selected by the Committee to disburse it for such comfort, support and maintenance, including without
limitation, any relative who has undertaken, wholly or partially, the expense of such person’s comfort, care and maintenance, or any institution in whose care or custody the person entitled to the amount may be; or 
 (iv) with respect to any amount due to a minor, deposit such amount to his or her credit in any savings or commercial bank of the
Committee’s choice, direct that such distribution be paid to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of such person or a responsible adult with whom the minor maintains his or her residence, or to the custodian for such person under the
Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Gift to Minors Act, if such payment is permitted by the laws of the state in which the minor resides. 
 Payment pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall fully discharge the Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Committee, and the Plan from further liability on account thereof. 
 8.3. Majority Rule. The Committee shall act by a majority of its members. 
 8.4. Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions of the Committee as to any disputed question arising under the Plan, including questions of construction and interpretation, shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon all parties. 

 8.5. Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, the Compensation
Committee of the Board, or the Board shall 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 a party, or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan, and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement
thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and
defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. 
 The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 Article 9. Amendments 
 The Board or the Committee,
without notice, at any time and from time to time, may modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely; provided, however, that: 
 (a) no such modification, amendment, suspension, or termination may, without the consent of a Participant materially reduce the right of a
Participant to a payment or distribution hereunder to which he or she has already become entitled, as determined under Sections 4.4 and 6.3; and 
 (b) no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes eligible to be cast at a meeting of stockholders of the Company held within twelve (12) months of the date of
adoption of such amendment and prior to payment of any compensation pursuant to such amendment, where such amendment will make any change which may require stockholder approval under the rules of any exchange on which Shares are traded, or in order
for awards granted under the Plan to qualify for an exception from Code Section 162(m). 
 No Award Opportunity may be granted during
any period of suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Award Opportunities be granted for any Performance Period ending after October 31, 2015 . 
 Article 10. Miscellaneous 
 10.1. Regulations and
Other Approvals; Governing Law. 
 (a) The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares with respect to any Final Award granted
under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by
the Committee. 
 (b) The portion of each Final Award payable in Restricted Shares is subject to the requirement that, if at
any time the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in 

 connection with the issuance of Restricted Shares, no such Shares will be issued unless such consent or
approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions and as acceptable to the Committee. 
 (c) In the event that the
disposition of Restricted Shares acquired under the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Exchange Act and is not otherwise exempt from registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent
required by the Exchange Act or regulations thereunder, and the Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent to the Company in writing that the Shares
acquired by such individual are acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution. The certificate for any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan shall include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions
on transfer. 
 10.2. Choice of Law. The Plan and all agreements hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Ohio, without reference to principles of conflicts of law. 
 10.3. Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to
deduct from all cash payments under the Plan any federal, state, or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any Final Award. 
 10.4. Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
 10.5. Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 10.6. Costs of the Plan. All costs of implementing and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 
 10.7. Successors.
All obligations of the Company under the 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 and/or assets of the Company. 

 10.8. Titles; Construction. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a
basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan. The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine and neuter and the singular shall include the plural, when the context so indicates. Any reference to a section (other than to a section of the
Plan) shall also include a successor to such section.

	Title:	 	Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerGreif, Inc. Amended and Restated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
 GREIF, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
 (the “Plan”) 

ARTICLE I 
 PURPOSE

 Greif, Inc. (the “Company”) is willing to provide members of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) with
supplemental retirement benefits out of its general assets and the opportunity to defer the payment of their Board fees for retirement savings purposes. The Company’s goal is to retain and reward its Board members by helping them to accumulate
benefits for a comfortable retirement. The Plan was originally effective as of September 5, 1996. This Plan document is the amendment and restatement of the original Plan and is effective as of January 1, 2005. This Plan has been drafted
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) as created by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. 
 ARTICLE II 
 ELIGIBILITY 
 All non-employee members of the Board are eligible to participate in the Plan. If you elect to participate in the Plan with respect to cash compensation
earned in the form of retainer fees, regular fees and meeting fees (including committee fees) (collectively “Board Fees”), you must execute a Cash Compensation Deferral Agreement and Election Form (attached to this Plan as Exhibit
A). If you elect to defer the receipt of a restricted stock award, you must execute a Restricted Stock Deferral Agreement and Election Form (attached to this Plan as Exhibit B). 
 ARTICLE III 
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCUMULATIONS 
 A. Unfunded Nature of Plan 
 The Plan
is considered to be an “unfunded” arrangement as amounts generally will not be set aside or held by the Company in a trust, escrow, or similar account or fiduciary relationship on your behalf. If you elect to defer receipt of a restricted
stock award, the restricted stock initially will be held in a so-called “rabbi” trust established by the Company. Each participant’s rights to benefits under the Plan are equivalent to the rights of any unsecured general creditor of
the Company. If the Company makes any investment of funds in conjunction with this Plan, all such investments shall at all times continue to be part of the Company’s general assets for all purposes, including any amounts held in a rabbi trust.

 B. Accumulations 
 To measure the
amount of the Company’s obligations to a participant in this Plan, the Company will maintain one or more bookkeeping records or accounts of each participant’s deferred amounts (the “Accumulations”). Credits of Cash Compensation
Deferrals, adjusted for changes in capitalization and dividends, as described below, are known as the “Cash Deferral Value.” 

 1. Elections to Participate - Generally. 
 You may elect (within 30 days of when you first become eligible to participate in the Plan for your initial calendar year of participation or, for
subsequent calendar years, not later than the December 31 prior to each such year) to defer payment of a portion or all of your (1) Board Fees earned as a director to be earned during the balance of the current or next calendar year, as
applicable, as a credit to your Accumulations, and (2) restricted stock awarded to you as a director during the balance of the current or next calendar year under the 2005 Outside Director Equity Award Plan, as applicable, as a credit to your
Accumulations. Once made, any such elections (including without limitation the percentage of Board Fees and/or restricted stock to be deferred) shall be irrevocable for all such amounts earned during the calendar year for which the election is made.
Elections to defer restricted stock may first be made for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2006. 
 2. Cash Compensation
Deferrals. 
 Once an election to defer Board Fees (“Cash Compensation Deferrals”) is made, such election will continue
in effect from year to year until you change it, but any change will be effective only as of the January 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you change your election. The minimum amount you may defer is 25% and the
maximum is 100% of all Board Fees expected to be paid to you as cash compensation as a director of the Company. 
 3. Restricted Stock
Deferrals. 
 Effective for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2006, you may elect to defer the receipt of restricted stock
awarded after the effective date of your election (“Restricted Stock Deferrals”). A separate election must be made each year to defer the next year’s award of restricted stock. The minimum amount you may defer is 25% and the
maximum is 100% of all restricted stock (rounded down to the next lowest whole share) expected to be awarded to you as a director of the Company. 
 C.
Value of Accumulations 
 The amount payable to you under the Plan will be based on the value credited to your Accumulations account. For
Cash Compensation Deferrals, your Cash Deferral Value will be credited as “Phantom Shares.” “Phantom Shares” shall have a value equal to the market value from time to time of the Company’s Class A common
stock, without par value. The number of Phantom Shares credited to your account will be based on the dollar amount of the Cash Compensation Deferrals, divided by the then current per share value of the Company’s Class A common stock,
without par value. For example, if you are deferring $1,000 of Cash Compensation Deferrals at a time when the per share value of the Company’s Class A common stock is $60, your account will be credited with 16.66 Phantom Shares ($1,000
divided by $60 per share = 16.66 Phantom Shares). 
 The value of your Accumulations related to Cash Compensation Deferrals will be based on
the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, without par value, as determined from time to time. If there is a change in the capitalization structure of the Company (e.g., due to a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, etc.), then a corresponding equitable adjustment will be made in the number of Phantom Shares credited to your account. If a dividend is declared and credited on Phantom Shares, such dividend shall be credited within 60 days of the
date on which the comparable common stock dividends are declared. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as interfering with that discretion or as creating an obligation on the part of the Company to declare dividends on common stock or Phantom
Shares. 

 The Company also reserves the right to adjust the earnings or other amounts credited to your
Accumulations and to determine the value of your Accumulations as of any date by adjusting such earnings or fair market value for the Company’s tax and other costs of providing this Plan. 
 For Restricted Stock Deferrals, the restricted stock shall be distributed at the selected time of payment (with adjustments as made to other,
unrestricted shares of the Company’s Class A common stock). Restricted Stock Deferrals under this Plan shall be held in a rabbi trust subject to the general creditors of the Company. Dividends paid on shares of restricted stock are
contributed to the rabbi trust and shall be paid from the rabbi trust to you as soon as administratively practicable after the dividend payment date and shall not be retained in the Plan as Accumulations. 
 Under current federal income tax rules, the amounts credited to your Accumulations, including earnings, will not be taxable income to you in the year
they are credited to your account. You, or your beneficiaries in the event of your death, will generally be taxable on these amounts and the credited earnings only if and when benefits are actually paid to you. Thus, this program provides the
opportunity to defer income and the payment of income taxes. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 BENEFITS 
 A. Vesting 
 All contributions to the Plan will always be 100% “vested”. This means you will always be entitled to receive benefits from your Accumulations.

 B. Payment of Benefits 
  

	 	1.	Termination of Board Membership. Unless you elect otherwise, as discussed in paragraph 3(A) below, you will receive your Cash Deferral Value as retirement benefits
under the Plan upon your termination from Board membership (for any reason other than death, as discussed below) as an annual benefit payable in installments over ten (10) years. The amount of your benefit will equal the amount necessary to
amortize your total Cash Deferral Value over the 10-year period. The amount payable each year will either be based on an approximately equal amortization based on either an assumed interest rate declared by the Company from time to time during the
period of distribution. Alternatively, the Company may elect to amortize your Cash Deferral Value based on its actual earnings, gains, or losses on the investment of a like sum, in which event the monthly benefit payable during a calendar year shall
equal the fair market value of the Company’s investments as of the preceding December 31, divided by the number of monthly installments remaining to be paid. If the Company elects to purchase investments from which its obligations
hereunder will be satisfied, such investments shall remain general assets of the Company for all purposes, subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. The Company may also elect, in its discretion, to pay benefits in quarterly or
annual installments, computed under one of the foregoing methods, rather than monthly installments. You must give the Company at least 30 days advance written notice of your intention to terminate membership on the Board and receive retirement
benefits. Actual benefit payments will begin on the first day of the second month following your satisfaction of all requirements for payment. In no event, however, shall distribution be made of amounts credited to the Participant’s
Accumulations before six months have elapsed from the date of crediting as Phantom Shares to the date of conversion to cash for payment. 

	 	2.	Death Benefits. In the event of your death while receiving benefit payments under the Plan, the Company will pay the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by you any
remaining payments due under this Plan, using the same method of distribution in effect at the date of your death. In the event of death prior to beginning to receive benefits under the Plan, the Company will pay benefits to your beneficiary or
beneficiaries, beginning as soon as practicable after your death. Such benefits shall be paid as a single lump sum or as monthly installments of Cash Deferral Value, in accordance with the Participant’s original election. If installments were
elected, the monthly amount payable shall equal the amount necessary to amortize the Participant’s Cash Deferral Value as a monthly benefit computed under one of the methods provided for retirement benefits under paragraph B(1), above. The
Company will provide you with the form for designating your beneficiary or beneficiaries. If you fail to make a beneficiary designation, or if your designated beneficiary predeceases you or cannot be located, any death benefits will be paid to your
estate. 

  

	 	3.	Payment Form and Timing. You may elect, at the time of your execution of a Cash Compensation Deferral Election and Restricted Stock Deferral Election, the time and a
form (for Accumulations related to Cash Compensation Deferrals only) as described herein. The regular form of distribution for your Cash Deferral Value is 10-years of installment payments as described in paragraph 1, above. 

 

	 	A.	Payment Form. 

  

	 	1.	Accumulations Related to Cash Compensation Deferrals. In addition to the ten (10) years of installments designated above, you may elect to receive your Accumulation
related to Cash Compensation Deferrals (credited as Phantom Shares) in a single lump sum payment or annual installments over a period of five (5) years. Such election must be made at the time of your execution of the Compensation Deferral
Agreement and Election Form. 

  

	 	2.	Payment Form for Accumulations Related to Restricted Stock Deferrals. All Restricted Stock Deferrals shall be distributed by one or more stock certificates in a single
distribution. 

  

	 	3.	Payment Form for Dividends Related to Restricted Stock Deferrals. All dividends paid by the Company attributable to restricted stock shall be paid from the rabbi trust as a
single lump sum in cash. 

  

	 	B.	Payment Timing. 

  

	 	1.	Accumulations Related to Cash Compensation Deferrals. In addition to payment upon termination of Board membership or death, you may elect to receive payment of the Cash
Deferral Value (A) upon a fixed date, or (B) the earlier of (1) a fixed date, or (2) termination of Board membership for any reason. Such election must be made at the time of your execution of the Compensation Deferral Agreement
and Election Form. 

	 	2.	Accumulations Related to Restricted Stock Deferrals. In addition to distribution upon termination of Board membership or death, you may elect to receive distribution
(A) upon a fixed date that is at least three (3) years after the date of the restricted stock award, or (B) the earlier of (1) a fixed date that is at least three (3) years after the date of the restricted stock award, or
(2) termination of Board membership for any reason. Such election must be made at the time of your execution of the Compensation Deferral Agreement and Election Form. 

  

	 	3.	Dividends Related to Restricted Stock Deferrals. Dividends attributable to Restricted Stock Deferrals shall be distributed to you as soon as administratively practicable
after the dividend payment date but in no event later than the March 15th of the calendar year following the
calendar year of the dividend payment date. Such dividend amounts shall not be deferred further under this Plan. The payment of dividends attributable to restricted stock is intended to satisfy the short-term deferral exception to Code
Section 409A. 

 ARTICLE V 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 A. No Right to Company Assets 
 As explained previously, this Plan is an unfunded arrangement and does not create a trust of any kind (other than the rabbi trust) or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company and you, your designated beneficiaries or any other person. To the extent you, your designated beneficiaries, or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, that right is
no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 B. Modification or Revocation 
 This Plan will continue in effect until revoked, terminated, or all benefits are paid. However, the Plan may be amended or revoked at any time, in whole
or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion. Unless you agree otherwise, you will still be entitled to the benefit, if any, that you have earned through the date of any amendment or revocation. Such benefits will be payable or distributable at
the times and in the amounts provided for in this Plan. 
 C. Rights Preserved 
 Nothing in this Plan gives any director the right to continue to hold such office. The relationship between you and the Company shall continue to be
determined by the applicable provisions of the governing documents of the Company and by applicable law. 
 D. Interpretation 
 The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or his designee, shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe, and administer this
Plan, and the interpretation and construction thereof and actions thereunder by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or his designee, including any valuation of Accumulations or the amount or recipient of the payments to be 

 made therefrom, shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Neither the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer nor any designee shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any person of liability for any action taken
or omitted in bad faith. Whenever under this Plan monthly benefits may be payable in substantially equal monthly installments computed using an interest rate declared by the Company in its sole discretion from time to time during such period of
distribution, the calculation of such monthly benefit payments shall be made under any method deemed reasonable by the Company, in its sole discretion. 
 E. Delayed Payments 
 In the event of a genuine dispute regarding the amount or timing of payments under the Plan, a delay in
the payment of amounts under this Plan shall not cause a violation of Code Section 409A to the extent that such delay satisfies the conditions set forth in Code Section 409A and applicable regulations thereunder

offices in the State of Ohio. This Plan has been adopted in the State of Ohio and the parties hereby agree that the validity and meaning of this Plan are to be determined, governed, and enforced under the laws of the State of Ohio, except that any
