benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or

directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement, or of the action of the Board providing for such Business

2. Vesting of Deferred Shares.

	 	(a)	 	General. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(b), (c), (d)
and (e) hereof, the Grantee’s right to receive Deferred Shares under this Agreement
shall become nonforfeitable on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control prior
to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Deferred Shares granted hereby shall
immediately become nonforfeitable.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Effect of Death, Disability. If the Grantee’s service as a
Non-Employee Director should terminate because of death or Disability (as so defined
for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code) prior to the first anniversary
of the Date of Grant, the Deferred Shares granted hereby shall immediately become
nonforfeitable.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Effect of Retirement. If the Grantee’s service as a Non-Employee
Director should terminate prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, but more
than six months after the Date of Grant and when he or she has served as a Director for
ten full years or more or attained age 72, the Deferred Shares granted hereby shall
become immediately nonforfeitable.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Effect of Other Termination of Service. In the event that the
Grantee’s service as a Non-Employee Director shall terminate prior to the first
anniversary of the Date of Grant in a manner other than any specified in Section 2(c)
or (d) hereof, the Grantee shall forfeit any Deferred Shares that have not become
nonforfeitable by such Grantee at the time of such termination; provided,
however, that the Board upon recommendation of the Board Governance Committee
may order that any part or all of such Deferred Shares become nonforfeitable.

3. Issuance of Common Shares.

          Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof, the Deferred Shares granted hereby, to the
extent vested, shall be issued to the Grantee in the form of Common Shares at the end of the
Deferral Period, provided, however, in the event of the death or Disability of the Grantee
or a Change in Control (but only to the extent that such Change in Control constitutes a “change in
ownership or effective control of the Corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the assets of a Corporation” as so defined for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of
the Code), the Common Shares shall be issued at the time of such event.

4. Payment of Dividend Equivalents.

          During the Deferral Period, from and after the [Date of Grant] and until the earlier of (a)
the time when Common Shares are issued in accordance with Section 3 hereof, or (b) the time when
the Deferred Shares are forfeited in accordance with Section 2(e) hereof, the Company shall pay to
the Grantee, whenever a dividend is paid on Common Shares (or at such later time as may be
consistent with the Corporation’s administrative requirements), an amount of cash equal to the
product of the per-share amount of the dividend paid times the number of such Deferred Shares.

3

 

5. Deferred Shares Non-Transferable.

          Neither the Deferred Shares granted hereby nor any interest therein or in the Common Shares
related thereto shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
prior to payment.

6. Dilution and Other Adjustments.

          In the event of any change in the aggregate number of outstanding Common Shares by reason of
(a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the
capital structure of the Corporation, or (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off,
spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of
assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate
transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, then the Board shall adjust
the number of Deferred Shares then held by the Grantee in such manner as to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of the rights of the Grantee that would otherwise result from such event. Furthermore,
in the event that any transaction or event described or referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence shall occur, the Board may provide in substitution of any or all of the Grantee’s rights
under this Agreement such alternative consideration as the Board may determine in good faith to be
equitable under the circumstances. Such adjustments made by the Board shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes of this Agreement.

7. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

          To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of
Section 409A(a)(1) do not apply to Grantee. This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a
manner consistent with this intent.

8. Becoming an Employee.

          If the Grantee becomes an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary after the Date of Grant
while remaining a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, any Deferred Shares held by
the Grantee at the time of commencement of such employment shall not be affected thereby.

9. Plan.

          This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

10. Amendments.

          Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent
that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall
adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to Deferred Shares without the Grantee’s
consent.

11. Validity.

          If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or
circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision in any other person or circumstances shall not be affected,
and the provisions so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to
the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal.

substantive laws of the State of Ohio.

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE; PARTICIPATION

     1.1 Purpose. Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (the “Company”) previously
established effective January 1, 2003, the Developers Diversified Realty Corporation Equity
Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Original Plan”) to provide a select group of key management
employees of the Company, as well as members of the Company’s Board, with an opportunity to defer
the receipt of Common Shares with respect to Eligible Equity Awards. As a result of the new rules
provided under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) and Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company froze deferrals under the Original Plan effective December
31, 2004, and established a new plan to reflect deferrals of equity compensation on or after
January 1, 2005 (the “Plan”). Final Treasury Regulations have been published under Section 409A of
the Code, and the Company desires to set forth the terms of the Plan for the purpose of reflecting
those Treasury Regulations and for other purposes.

     The Plan, which is intended to be a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” that satisfies
the requirements of the Act and Section 409A of the Code, shall be interpreted and administered by
the Committee to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent. The provisions of
the Developers Diversified Realty Corporation 2005 Equity Deferred Compensation Plan (January 1,
2009 Restatement) set forth herein are effective as of January 1, 2009, except as otherwise
provided herein. For the period prior to January 1, 2009, the Plan

 

shall operate based upon IRS Notice 2005-1, additional notices published by the Treasury
Department and the Internal Revenue Service providing transition guidance, and a good faith,
reasonable interpretation of Section 409A of the Code.

     1.2 Participation. Participation in the Plan will be limited to those key management
employees of the Company, as well as members of the Company’s Board, as the Committee in its sole
discretion shall designate from time to time to be eligible to make Deferral Elections hereunder.

may not cause an amount to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.

     (b) In the case of the first year in which an eligible employee or member or the Board becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan, such individual may file any initial Deferred Election with
the Committee in the form prescribed by the Committee within 30 days after the date he becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan, with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed
after the election.

     (c) A Deferral Election shall be deemed to have been made only when the completed and executed
form of Deferral Election is received by the Committee or its designated agent. A separate
Deferral Election shall be made by an eligible Participant with respect to each Eligible Equity
Award to be subject to a Deferral Election during such Plan Year. If an eligible Participant fails
to file a Deferral Election with respect to an Eligible Equity Award by the date specified by the
Committee with respect to any Plan Year (or within the period permitted under Section 4.1(b) with
respect to a newly eligible Participant), he or she shall be deemed to have

10

 

elected not to make a Deferral Election with respect to such Eligible Equity Award for such
Plan Year.

     4.2 Effect of Deferral Election; Subsequent Deferral Elections.

     (a) If a Participant timely files a Deferral Election with the Committee with respect to an
Eligible Equity Award, the following provisions will apply:

     (1) Each share of Restricted Stock subject to a Deferral Election will be automatically
cancelled as of the first day of the Plan Year to which such Deferral Election relates (or
such later date on which it is awarded or as may be specified by the Committee in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code) and will be replaced with a corresponding Stock Unit credited
to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Subaccount in accordance with Section 4.3. Stock
Units credited to a Participant’s Restricted Stock Subaccount shall vest or be forfeited by
the Participant in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as applied
to the shares of Restricted Stock for which the Stock Units were substituted. As a result
of a valid Deferral Election with respect to Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be
entitled to a future distribution of one Share with respect to each vested Stock Unit
credited to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Subaccount relating to such Deferral Election
upon the expiration of the applicable Designated Deferral Period.

     (2) Each Deferred Share subject to a Deferral Election will be automatically cancelled
as of the first day of the Plan Year to which such Deferral Election relates (or by such
later date on which the related award is made or as may be specified by the Committee in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code) and will be replaced with a corresponding Stock
Unit credited to the Participant’s Deferred Share Subaccount in accordance with Section 4.3.
Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Deferred Share Subaccount shall vest or be
forfeited by the Participant in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and
conditions, as applied to the Deferred Shares for which the Stock Units were substituted.
As a result of a valid Deferral Election with respect to Deferred Shares, the Participant
shall be entitled to a future distribution of one Share with respect to each vested Stock
Unit credited to the Participant’s Deferred Share Subaccount relating to such Deferral
Election upon the expiration of the applicable Designated Deferral Period.

     (b) Each Participant who has filed a Deferral Election with respect to an Eligible Equity
Award may file a Subsequent Deferral Election thereby electing to extend the Designated Deferral
Period with respect to the Participant’s Stock Units relating to such Deferral Election. A valid
Subsequent Deferral Election, if made, will extend the delivery date of the Shares represented by
the Stock Units subject thereto until the end of Participant’s Designated Deferral

11

 

Period, as amended by such Subsequent Deferral Election. A Subsequent Deferral Election must
be filed with the Committee at the time and in the form prescribed by the Committee, in accordance
with such additional rules and procedures as may be established by the Committee in its sole
discretion. Once made, a Participant’s Subsequent Deferral Election shall be irrevocable.

     4.3 Stock Accounts.

     (a) The Committee shall establish and maintain a bookkeeping account in the name of each
Participant who makes a Deferral Election during the course of his or her participation in the
Plan. Each Participant’s Stock Account shall consist of the sum of the Stock Units credited to the
Participant’s Deferred Share Subaccount and Restricted Stock Subaccount. Each Participant’s Stock
Account (and the appropriate subaccount) shall be adjusted as follows:

     (1) as of the date specified in Section 4.2(a)(1) or (2) on which the Restricted Stock
or Deferred Shares subject to the Participant’s Deferral Election are cancelled, the
Participant’s Deferred Share Subaccount or Restricted Stock Subaccount, as the case may be,
shall be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the number of Shares to which the
Deferral Election relates;

     (2) as of the date on which Shares are distributed to the Participant in accordance
with Section 4.5, the Participant’s Stock Account (and appropriate subaccount) shall be
reduced by an equal number of Stock Units; and

     (3) as of the date on which any Stock Units are forfeited by the Participant in
connection with a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or membership
on the Board prior to the time at which such Stock Units shall have vested as provided in
Section 4.2(a)(1) or (2), as the case may be, the Participant’s Stock Account (and
appropriate subaccount) shall be reduced by the number of Stock Units that are forfeited by
the Participant.

In the event of changes that impact the Company’s capital structure, or Share status, each
Participant’s Stock Account and the number of Stock Units credited thereto shall be equitably
adjusted by the Committee in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with adjustments made to
outstanding equity awards pursuant to the Company Equity Plans.

12

 

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in any Deferral Election
hereunder, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company all Stock Units previously credited
to a Participant’s Stock Account shall become fully and immediately vested. Moreover, in the event
of a 409A Change in Control, a Participant’s Designated Deferral Period(s) under the Plan shall
automatically end on the effective date of such 409A Change in Control and distribution shall be
made in a single payment on the tenth business day thereafter. However, if the Committee
determines to permit elections relating to distribution in the event of a 409A Change in Control (a
“Change in Control Election”), which elections shall apply only to amounts credited pursuant to
Deferral Elections made at the time of or after the Change in Control Election, a Participant may
elect that his otherwise applicable Designated Deferred Period(s) shall not end on the effective
date of such 409A Change in Control.

     4.4 Distribution of Shares from Stock Accounts; Forfeiture of Stock Units.

     (a) Subject to any limitation set forth in this Plan or any other limitations as may be
established by the Committee in its sole discretion, each Participant shall specify the payment
method with respect to his or her Stock Account at the time he or she makes a Deferral Election or
a Subsequent Deferral Election with respect to all or part of an Eligible Equity Award. A
Participant may elect to have his or her vested Stock Units with respect to any Eligible Equity
Award paid in the following manner following the expiration of the Participant’s Designated
Deferral Period with respect to such Eligible Equity Award:

	 	(1)	 	a single lump sum; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	equal or substantially equal monthly installments over a period
of between 12 and 120 months, as elected by the Participant.

Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, any payments or distributions with respect to
the vested Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Stock Account under this Plan shall in all cases

13

 

be satisfied by the delivery by the Company of a number of Shares equal to the number of Stock
Units with respect to which such distribution is being made. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to
the contrary, in accordance with Sections 4.1(a) and 4.2(b) a Participant may make certain
modifications or further elections.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no distribution shall be made with
respect to any Stock Units that have not vested in accordance with the vesting provisions that
applied to the shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred Shares to which such Stock Units relate,
including the vesting provisions of Section 4.3(b) or any vesting which occurs by reason of the
Committee’s action to vest such Stock Units. In the event of a Participant’s Separation from
Service, any Stock Units that have not vested as of the date of such event in accordance with the
vesting and forfeiture provisions that applied to the related shares of Restricted Stock or Stock
Units shall be forfeited by the Participant for no consideration.

     4.5 Dividend Equivalent Payments.

     (a) Each Participant will be entitled to a cash payment of additional compensation from the
Company in an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent Payments with respect to the Participant’s
Stock Units. Such amount shall, subject to the deferral election described in Section 4.5(b)
below, be paid to the Participant not later than five (5) business days following the date of
distribution of the dividend to which such Dividend Equivalent Payment relates.

     (b) If the Committee determines to permit deferral of Dividend Equivalent Payments relating to
an Eligible Equity Award, each Participant shall have the right to elect to defer the receipt of
all or part of the Dividend Equivalent Payments that would otherwise be paid to the Participant
pursuant to Section 4.5(a) as a result of that Eligible Equity Award. An election to defer the
receipt of all or part of the Dividend Equivalent Payments with respect to that Eligible

14

 

Equity Award shall be made by written notice, in such form and at the time as the Committee
may prescribe; provided however that an election under this Section 4.5(b), to be valid,
must be made prior to January 1st of the calendar year in which such Eligible Equity Award is made
(or in the case of a newly eligible Participant, within the period described in Section 4.1(b)).
Once made, such election shall be effective to defer receipt of the designated portion, as
specified by the Participant, of the Dividend Equivalent Payments that would otherwise be made to
the Participant under Section 4.5(a) relating to that Eligible Equity Award. Any amounts that are
deferred pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) shall be credited to a Dividend Equivalent Account to be
maintained by the Company in the name of the Participant. Amounts that are deferred under this
Section 4.5(b) shall be payable to the Participant at the end of the Participant’s Designated
Deferral Period with respect to such Dividend Equivalent Payments. Once made, an election under
this Section 4.5(b) shall be irrevocable (except as may be permitted by the IRS in connection with
the promulgation of regulations or other guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the
Code, or any successor provision of the Code).

     (c) Amounts paid to a Participant from the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account shall be
credited with earnings based on a reasonable rate of “interest” from the time credited until paid
at a rate to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

     (d) Subject to any limitation set forth in this Plan or any other limitations as may be
established by the Committee in its sole discretion, each Participant shall specify the payment
method with respect to his or her Dividend Equivalent Account relating to any Eligible Equity Award
at the time he or she makes a Deferral Election or a Subsequent Deferral Election with respect to
such Dividend Equivalent Payments. A Participant may elect to have his or her Dividend Equivalent
Account relating to an Eligible Equity Award paid in the following manner

15

 

following the expiration of the Participant’s Designated Deferral Period with respect to such
Dividend Equivalent Payments:

	 	(1)	 	a single lump sum; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	equal or substantially equal monthly installments over a period
of between 12 and 120 months, as elected- by the Participant.

All payments due under this Section 4.5 shall be paid in cash.

     (e) Each Participant who has filed a Deferral Election with respect to the Dividend Equivalent
Payments relating to any Eligible Equity Award may file a Subsequent Deferral Election thereby
electing to extend the Designated Deferral Period with respect to the Participant’s Dividend
Equivalent Account relating to such Eligible Equity Award. A valid Subsequent Deferral Election,
if made, will extend the payment date with respect to such portion of his Dividend Equivalent
Account until the end of Participant’s Designated Deferral Period, as amended by such Subsequent
Deferral Election. A Subsequent Deferral Election must be filed with the Committee at the time and
in the form prescribed by the Committee, in accordance with such additional rules and procedures as
may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. Once made, a Participant’s Subsequent
Deferral Election shall be irrevocable.

     4.6 Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawals. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan to the contrary, payments may be made to a Participant from his or her vested Stock Account
and Dividend Equivalent Account in the event of an “unforeseeable emergency.” For purposes of this
Plan, a “unforeseeable emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant
resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of
the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary
and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the
Participant. The circumstances that will constitute a “unforeseeable emergency” will depend

16

 

upon the facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any event, payment may not be made to
the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved:

	 	(a)	 	through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of
such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.

Examples of what are not considered to be unforeseeable emergencies include the need to send a
Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home.

     4.7 Death or Disability. In the event a Participant’s service is terminated by reason
of death or disability prior to the distribution of any portion of his benefits, any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall, within ninety days of the
date of service termination, commence distribution of benefits to the Participant (or to the
beneficiary or beneficiaries in the event of death). For purposes of the Plan, a Participant will
be considered to have a “disability” if the participant is unable to engage in any substantial
gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
months. Distribution shall be made in accordance with the method of distribution elected by the
Participant pursuant to this Article IV. In the event a Participant’s death or disability occurs
after distribution of benefits hereunder has begun, the Company shall continue to make
distributions to the Participant (or to the beneficiary or beneficiaries in the event of death) in
accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Participant pursuant to this Article IV.

17

 

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

     5.1 Beneficiaries. Each Participant shall have the right to designate one or more
beneficiaries to receive distributions in the event of the Participant’s death by filing with the
Company a beneficiary designation on a form provided by the Committee. The designated beneficiary
or beneficiaries may be changed by a Participant at any time prior to his or her death by the
delivery to the Company of a new beneficiary designation form. If no beneficiary shall have been
designated, or if no designated beneficiary shall survive the Participant, distribution pursuant to
this provision shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

     5.2 Administration. Except for those powers and duties expressly reserved for the
Board hereunder, this Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full
power to interpret and administer the Plan and full authority to select the individuals who will be
allowed to participate in this Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and
repeal such rules, guidelines and practices governing this Plan, including the form and timing of
Deferral Elections and Subsequent Deferral Elections, as it shall, from time to time, deem
advisable. The Committee shall also have the authority to direct designated officers or employees
of the Company or other advisers to prepare such materials or perform such analysis as the
Committee deems necessary or appropriate, or to otherwise supervise the administration of this
Plan. All decisions of the Committee shall be binding upon all Participants and their respective
legal representatives, successors and assigns, and any and all persons claiming under or through
any of them, shall be bound by the determinations of the Committee. No member of the Committee
shall be liable to any Participant or to the Company for any determination made within the scope of
the administrative and interpretive functions granted by the Board. No

18

 

member of the Committee shall participate in any discussion or determination involving his or
her own entitlement to benefits or the form of payment of such benefits.

     5.3 Reports. Until a Participant’s entire Stock Account and/or Dividend Equivalent
Account shall have been paid out in full or forfeited, the Company will furnish to the Participant
a report, at least annually, setting forth any changes in such accounts and the status of each such
account with respect to the vesting of amounts credited to such account and, solely in the case of
a Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account, the amount of “interest” credited thereon under
Section 4.5 hereof.

     5.4 Assignment and Alienation of Benefits. The right of each Participant to payment
of any account hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by law, be subject in any manner to
attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Participant, and no account shall be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, pledge, transfer, assignment or encumbrance.

     5.5 Employee and Shareholder Status. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with nor
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, including but
not limited to a Participant’s membership on the Board. The Plan will not give any person any
right or claim to any benefits under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued
under the terms of the Plan. Participation in the Plan shall not create any rights in a
Participant (or any other person) as a shareholder of the Company until Shares are registered in
the name of the Participant (or such other person).

     5.6 Assets. No Participant or party claiming an interest in amounts deferred by or on
behalf of a Participant shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company.
To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall

19

 

be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. No assets shall be
segregated or earmarked in respect of any Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Payments, Stock
Accounts, or Dividend Equivalent Accounts. The Plan and the crediting of Stock Accounts and/or
Dividend Equivalent Accounts hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be structured solely
for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation. All amounts payable pursuant to
the terms of this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the
above, the Company will establish a “rabbi trust” and will contribute to such trust, not later than
March 31st of each calendar year during which the Plan remains in existence or at such earlier time
or times as may be determined by the Company, that number of Shares equal to the number of Stock
Units credited to Participants’ Stock Accounts under the Plan. Distributions of Shares required to
be made by the Company to any Participant hereunder may be paid from the assets of such trust. In
addition, the Company will establish a separate “rabbi trust” and will contribute to such separate
trust, not later than March 31st of each calendar year during which the Plan remains in existence
or at such earlier time or times as may be determined by the Company, an amount in cash equal to
the amount of Participants’ aggregate Dividend Equivalent Account balances under the Plan.
Payments required to be made by the Company hereunder with respect to a Participant’s Dividend
Equivalent Account may be paid from the assets of such trust. Any “rabbi trust” established under
this Plan will not include provisions of the type described in Code Section 409A(b)(1) (relating to
non-U.S. trusts) or Code Section 409A(b)(2) (relating to a change in the Company’s financial
health). This Plan is intended to be an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan which is
neither an “employee welfare benefit plan” nor an “employee pension benefit plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(1) or (2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
and

20

 

shall be interpreted and administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that
intent.

     5.7 Taxes. The Company shall not be responsible for the tax consequences under
federal, state or local law of any election made by any Participant under the Plan. The Company
shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to this Plan, or to otherwise
require prior to the payment or distribution of any amount hereunder, payment by the Participant of
any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any such payment
or distribution to the Participant. In addition, to the extent the Company shall be required,
prior to the date on which payments or other distributions are to be made to a Participant under
this Plan, to withhold any taxes in connection with any Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Payments
credited to a Participant’s accounts under this Plan, the Participant agrees that the Company shall
have the right to withhold such taxes from compensation or fees otherwise payable to the
Participant or to otherwise require direct payment of such withholding taxes by the Participant to
the Company.

     5.8 Amendment or Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the
provisions of the Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely; provided, however that any such
amendment, suspension or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, adversely affect
the rights including but not limited to forfeiture or accelerated vesting of any Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalent Payments previously credited to the Participants’ Stock Accounts or Dividend
Equivalent Accounts prior to the effective date of such amendment, suspension or termination.

21

 

     5.9 Effective Date. This Plan was adopted by the Board effective as of January 1,
2005 (the “Effective Date”), and is amended and restated as set forth herein effective January 1,
2009 and such other dates as are specified herein and shall remain in effect until terminated
pursuant to Section 5.8.

     5.10 Applicable Law. This Plan shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of
Ohio.

* * *

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed this 22nd day of December,
2008.
