benefits described below only as set forth herein. 
 (b) Termination without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason or

Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv)) or termination by reason of death or Disability (pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or (ii), respectively), the Company shall pay to the Executive the amounts described in subsection (a). In addition, subject
to Section 6(c) and (d) and the restrictions contained herein, the Company shall do all of the following: 
 (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) an amount equal to the “Severance Amount” described below. For purposes of this Agreement the Severance
Amount is equal to the sum of: 
 (A) 1.0 times his Annual Base Salary, and 

(B) 1.0 times the greater of (I) the total of all bonuses paid (or payable) to executive in respect of the fiscal
year ending immediately prior to the Date of Termination, excluding any bonuses that are extraordinary in nature (e.g., a transaction related bonus) or (II) the target bonuses for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination falls, determined in
accordance with the Company’s bonus program or programs, if any. 
 The Severance Amount as so determined shall be payable
to the Executive (or his beneficiary) in substantially equal installments of the 12 month period following the Date of Termination (the “Payment Period”) in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; 

(ii) The Company shall offer to the Executive continuation of any health plan coverage of the Executive in accordance with
the requirements of applicable law (e.g. COBRA coverage), at a monthly cost to the Executive that is not greater than the monthly cost that the Executive is being charged for such coverage or coverages as of the Date of Termination. The Company may
require the Executive to complete and file any election forms that are generally required of other employees to obtain COBRA coverage; and the Executive’s COBRA coverage may be terminable in accordance with applicable law; 

(iii) During each month in the Payment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal
to one-twelfth ( 1/12) of the annual automobile
allowance that is in effect under Section 4(h) as of the Date of Termination; and 
 (iv) During each month in the Payment Period, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any membership fees in a country club that the Executive is obligated. to pay for such month, in an amount not
to exceed one-twelfth ( 1/12) of the annual
membership fees that the Executive is entitled to have reimbursed under Section 4(i) as of the Date of Termination. The Executive shall apply for reimbursement by not later than the last day of the second calendar year following the date the
expenses were incurred; and any reimbursement that is due hereunder shall be paid to the Executive within 60 days of his application for the reimbursement. 
 (c) Benefits Provided Upon Termination of Employment. If the Executive’s termination or resignation does not constitute a “separation from service,” as such term is defined under
Code Section 409A, the Executive shall nevertheless be entitled to receive all of the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to receive under this 

 
Agreement on account of his termination of employment. However, the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to under this Agreement shall not be provided to the Executive until such
time as the Executive has incurred a “separation from services” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 
 (d)
Payments on Account of Termination to a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 6(a) or 6(b), in the event that the Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee at the time of his termination of
employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his “separation from service” under Code Section 409A), to the extent that a payment, reimbursement or benefit under Section 6(b) is considered to provide for a “deferral of
compensation” (as determined under Code Section 409A), then such payment, reimbursement or benefit shall not be paid or provided until six months after the Executive’s separation from service, or his death, whichever occurs first. Any
payments, reimbursements or benefits that are withheld under this provision for the first six months shall be payable in a lump sum on the 181st day after such termination of employment (or, if later, separation from service). The restrictions in
this Section 6(d) shall be interpreted and applied solely to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). Accordingly, payments, benefits or reimbursements under Section 6(B) or any other
part of this Agreement may nevertheless be provided to Executive with the six-month period following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his “separation from service” under Code
Section 409A), to the extent that it would nevertheless be permissible to do so under Code Section 409A because those payments, reimbursements or benefits are (i) described in Treasury Regulations Section 409A because those
payments, reimbursements or benefits are (i) described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (i.e., payments within the limitations therein that are being made on account of an involuntary termination or termination for good
reason, within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations), or (ii) benefits described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) (e.g. health care benefits). 
 7. Competition; Nonsolicitation. 
 (a) During the Term and, following any
termination of Executive’s employment, for a period equal to (i) the Payment Period, in the case of a termination of employment for which payments are made pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, or (ii) twenty-four (24) months
from the date of such termination in the event of a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive without Good Reason, or a termination by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board,
directly or indirectly engage in, or have any interest in, or manage or operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership or business (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise)
that engages in any business (other than a business that constitutes less than 5% of the relevant entity’s net revenue and a proportionate share of its operating income) which competes with any business of the Company or any entity owned by it
anywhere in the world; provided, however, that the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a stock interest in such a corporation provided such stock is publicly traded and the stock so acquired does not represent more than one percent of the
outstanding shares of such corporation. 
 (b) During the Term and for a period of two years following any termination of the
Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether as an owner, employee, service provider or otherwise, solicit or induce any person who is or was
employed by, or providing consulting services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the twelve-month period prior to the date of such termination, to terminate their employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any such
subsidiary. 
 (c) In the event the agreement in this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time
for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

 8. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. 
 (a) Except as required in the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or pursuant to subsection (c), the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not
directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation 

 
or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s
operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees
or other terms of employment, except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this Section 8, or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document,
record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are important, material
and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets and affect the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company). 
 (b) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes,
notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes and/or which contain proprietary information or trade
secrets. 
 (c) The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the
earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding
to such process. 
 9. Injunctive Relief. It is recognized and acknowledged by the Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in
Sections 7 and 8 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive
agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief.

 10. Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall
have accrued hereunder prior to such expiration. 
 11. Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. 

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of
Ohio. 
 13. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 14. Notices. Any notice,
request, claim, demand, document or other communication hereunder to any party shall be effective upon receipt (or refusal of receipt) and shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by telex, telecopy, or certified or registered mail,

writing to the other party in accordance with this Section 14. 

 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 16. Entire Agreement; Prior Employment
Agreement. The terms of this Agreement, together with the Equity Compensation Agreements are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be
contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. The parties further intend that this Agreement, and the aforementioned contemporaneous documents, shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no
extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement. 

17. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive
and the Chief Executive Officer. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply
with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 
 18. No Inconsistent
Actions. The parties hereto shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in

 19. Arbitration.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in Cleveland, Ohio, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of
competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement and the Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of the
Company’s posting any bond; and provided further, that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or
in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall bear its share of the fees and expenses of any arbitration hereunder. 
 20.
Indemnification and Insurance; Legal Expenses. During the Term and so long as the Executive has not breached any of his obligations set forth in Sections 7 and 8, the Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by
the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, and shall advance to the Executive reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the
Executive to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal that the Executive was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and expenses) and he shall be entitled to the
protection of any insurance policies the Company shall elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers (“Directors and Officers Insurance”) against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by him in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or his serving or having served any other enterprise as a
director, officer or employee at the request of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement). The Company covenants to maintain during the Term for the benefit of the Executive (in his
capacity as an officer and director of the Company) Directors and Officers Insurance providing customary benefits to the Executive.
