ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN

 

		1.1	Establishment. Cincinnati Financial Corporation originally established the Cincinnati Financial
Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1, 1989 as an unfunded supplemental retirement
plan for eligible executives. The Plan is intended to qualify as a “top-hat plan” for purposes of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Additionally, the Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations issued thereunder, as such authorities are interpreted by
the Committee.

 

		1.2	Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible executives with benefits in addition
to those provided under the Cincinnati Financial Corporation Retirement Plan (the “CFC Retirement Plan”).

December 31, 2005 unless otherwise provided in Sections 3.3 or 3.4. For Supplemental Benefits accrued after December 31, 2005,

obligation for such benefit to the Participant or anyone else.

Plan, if a Participant who is entitled to receive a Supplemental Benefit engages in competition with the Employer or any related

Benefit will, at the discretion of the Employer, be forfeited. If forfeited, the Employer shall have no further obligation for
such benefit to the Participant or anyone else.

		(a)	The greater of (i), (ii) or (iii) below.

 

		(i)	For each Participant specified in Appendix B, 3⁄4% of the Participant’s Average Monthly
Earnings below the Social Security Integration Level plus 1-1⁄4% of the Participant’s Average Monthly Earnings in excess
of the Social Security Integration Level, such sum multiplied by the Participant’s Years of Service.

 

		(ii)	For each Participant specified in Appendix C, the monthly benefit that the Participant would have
been entitled to had he continued to participate under the Inter-Ocean Employees’ Retirement Plan or Inter-Ocean Insurance
Company Retirement Plan for Field Employees, as the case may be, until the termination of his employment with the Employer (or
a related employer under Code §414).

 

		(iii)	Participant’s monthly benefit determined under the CFC Retirement Plan as of the Participant’s
Retirement Date ignoring the limit on earnings under Code §401(a)(17) and ignoring any limit on benefits under Code §415.

Plan as of the Participant’s Retirement Date.

 

    	- 8 -

    	 

    

 

		4.2	Early Retirement Benefit. A Participant whose Retirement Date is before his Normal Retirement
Date shall be entitled to a Supplemental Benefit, payable pursuant to the provisions of Article 5. The Supplemental Benefit shall
be equal to an amount calculated under Section 4.1(a) as of the Participant’s Retirement Date, reduced by 1⁄2% for each
month that the Participant’s Retirement Date precedes his Normal Retirement Date. The resulting amount shall be further reduced
by the monthly benefit that is, or would be, payable to the Participant under the CFC Retirement Plan as of the Participant’s
Retirement Date.

 

		4.3	Deferred Retirement Benefit. A Participant whose Retirement Date is after his Normal Retirement
Date shall be entitled to a Supplemental Benefit, payable pursuant to the provisions of Article 5. The Supplemental Benefit shall
be equal to the excess of (a) over (b) below.

		4.4	Death Benefits. If a Participant who is entitled to a benefit under the CFC Retirement Plan
dies before his Retirement Date, or after his Retirement Date but before his Supplemental Benefit has been paid, the Participant’s
Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit payable in accordance with the provisions
of Article 5. The Supplemental Benefit shall be equal to 100% of the amount of the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit calculated
in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 as if his date of death was his Retirement Date, Actuarially Adjusted and reduced in
the same manner as is applicable under the CFC Retirement Plan. The resulting amount shall be reduced by the monthly benefit that
is, or would be, payable to the Beneficiary under the CFC Retirement Plan as of the date of the Participant’s death. If no
individual is entitled to receive death benefits under the CFC Retirement Plan as of the date of Participant’s death, then
no individual is entitled to Death Benefits under the Plan.

		4.5	Transfer of Frozen Accrued Benefits. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
if a Participant whose benefit accruals under the Plan were frozen in accordance with Section 3.5 does not reach his Retirement
Date on or before December 31, 2008, then his frozen accrued benefit, calculated in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 as
if December 31, 2008 was his Retirement Date, shall be transferred to the CFC Top Hat Savings Plan effective January 1, 2009. The
amount transferred to the CFC Top Hat Savings Plan will be made in a single lump sum that is the actuarial equivalent of a life
annuity payable to the Participant in monthly installments equal to the Participant’s frozen accrued benefit. The determination
of the lump sum payment shall be calculated in the same manner and using the same actuarial assumptions as used in the calculation
of the amount available as a lump sum payment upon the termination of the CFC Spin-Off Retirement Plan. Effective January 1, 2009,
the time and form of payment of such transferred frozen accrued benefit shall be made in accordance with the Participant’s
benefit payment elections, including any default benefit payment elections, under the CFC Top Hat Savings Plan.

Article

PAYMENT OF SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS

 

		5.1	Form of Benefit. The vested Supplemental Benefit payable to a Participant or his Beneficiary
shall only be paid in the form of a single lump sum payment. The lump sum payment shall be the actuarial equivalent of a life annuity
payable to the Participant in monthly installments equal to the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit. The determination of
the lump sum payment shall be calculated in the same manner and using the same actuarial assumptions as used in the calculation
of optional lump sum payments under the CFC Retirement Plan. However, if such calculated lump sum payment under the CFC Retirement
Plan is limited by Code §415, the Participant’s lump sum payment under the Plan shall be increased in an amount equal
to the amount that the calculated lump sum payment under the CFC Retirement Plan is limited by Code §415.

 

		5.2	Date of Payment.

 

		(a)	Retirement Benefits. Subject to Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6, a vested Supplemental Benefit
payable in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3will be paid on a Participant’s Retirement Date, or as provided in (c)
below.

 

		(b)	Death Benefits. Subject to Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6, a vested Supplemental Benefit payable
in accordance with Section 4.4 on account of the Participant’s death will be paid on the Participant’s date of death,
or as otherwise provided in (c) below

 

		(c)	Administration of Benefit Payments. The payment of vested benefits under the Plan shall
be paid on the payment dates specified in (a) and (b) above (as applicable), or, provided the Participant is not permitted, directly
or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but not later
than the later of: (i) December 31st of the calendar year in which the payment dates specified in (a) and (b) above
occur (as applicable); or (ii) the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the payment dates specified
in (a) and (b) above (as applicable).

 

    	- 11 -

    	 

    

 

		5.3	Key Employees. Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), if required by Code §409A and the regulations
thereunder as interpreted by the Committee, any vested benefit payable under the Plan to a Participant who is a Key Employee may
not be paid before the date that is 6 months after the Participant’s Separation from Service, or if earlier, the date of
the Participant’s death. The amount of such benefit (the “Delayed Benefit”) shall be equal to the Participant’s
vested Supplemental Benefit determined as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service increased by interest
credited during the period beginning on the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the date the Delayed Benefit
is paid. The interest rate used to credit interest during the 6-month period shall be the same as the rate used to determine lump
sum payment amounts under Section 5.1. The Delayed Benefit shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date
of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

 

		5.4	Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), the payment of vested
benefits due under the Plan shall be accelerated and paid as is necessary to satisfy a domestic relations order (as defined in
Code §414(p)(1)(B)).

 

		5.5	Code §409A Failures. Notwithstanding Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), the payment of vested
benefits due under the Plan shall be accelerated and paid to a Participant or Beneficiary if the Plan fails to satisfy Code §409A.
Benefit payments made pursuant to this section may not exceed the amount required to be included in the Participant’s or
Beneficiary’s income as a result of the Plan’s failure to comply with Code §409A. The Participant (or Beneficiary)
shall be solely responsible for all taxes, penalties and/or interest with respect to his benefit under the Plan, including the
interest and/or additional taxes provided in Code §409A(a)(1)(B).

 

    	- 12 -

    	 

    

 

		5.6	Discretionary Delay In Benefit Payments. Notwithstanding Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), the
Committee may delay the payment of vested benefits due under the Plan by reason of any events or conditions permitted under Code
§409A and the regulations thereunder as interpreted by the Committee, including but not limited to situations where the Committee
reasonably determines that any of the events described in (a) through (b) below would occur.

 

		(a)	The Employer’s tax deduction attributable to a benefit payment would not be permitted due
to the application of Code §162(m). Such benefit shall be paid no later than: (i) during the Participant’s first taxable
year in which the Committee reasonably believes that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of the payment will
not be barred by application of Code §162(m), or (ii) during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s
Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year of the Participant in which the Participant
has a Separation from Service or the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the Participant’s
Separation from Service. Where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant is delayed in accordance with this provision, the
delay in payment shall be treated as a subsequent deferral election for purposes of Code §409A and the regulations thereunder
unless all scheduled payments to that Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this provision are also delayed.

 

Where
the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a
payment upon a separation from service for purposes of the rules under Code §409A and the regulations thereunder regarding
payments to specified employees upon a separation from service and, in the case of a Key Employee, the date that is 6 months after
the Participant’s Separation from Service is substituted for any reference to a Participant’s Separation from Service
for purposes of this provision.

 

    	- 13 -

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Making a benefit payment would violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws. Such benefit
payment shall be made on the earliest date the Committee reasonably believes that making the payment will not cause a violation
of federal securities laws or other applicable laws.

 

		5.7	Tax Withholding. As a condition to entitlement to benefits under the Plan, the Employer
may deduct (or cause to be deducted) from any amounts payable to an individual (whether from the Plan or otherwise), or, in the
Employer’s discretion, to otherwise to collect from the individual any withholding for federal, state or other taxes with
respect to benefits under the Plan as determined by the Employer.

receipt of such Claim; provided, however, that such period shall in no event exceed 90 days, unless special circumstances require
an extension of time for processing. If such an extension of time for processing is required, then the Claimant shall, prior to
the termination of the initial 90-day period, be furnished a written notice indicating such special circumstances and the date
by which the Committee expects to render a decision. In no event shall an extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of
the initial period.

 

		(ii)	Notice of Denial. If the Claim is wholly or partially denied, then the Committee shall furnish
to the Claimant, within the time limit applicable under (i) above, a written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be

for review pursuant to Section 6.2, including notice of the time limits set forth in Section 6.2(b)(ii).

 

		(iii)	Deemed Denial for Purposes of Review. If a Claim is not granted and if, despite the provisions
of (i) and (ii) above, notice of the denial of a Claim is not furnished within the time limit applicable under (i) above, then
the Claimant may deem such Claim denied and may request a review of such deemed denial pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2.

 

		6.2	Claim Review Procedure.

 

		(a)	Claimant’s Rights. If a Claim is wholly or partially denied under Section 6.1, then

		(c)	Decision on Review.

 

		(i)	Time Limit.

 

		(A)	General. If, pursuant to (b) above, a review is requested, then, except as otherwise provided
in (B) below, the Committee or its delegate (but only if such delegate has been given the authority to make a final decision on
the Claim) shall make a decision promptly and no later than 60 days after receipt of the Request for Review; except that, if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing, then the decision shall be made as soon as possible but not later than
120 days after receipt of the Request for Review. The Committee must furnish the Claimant written notice of any extension prior
to its commencement.

 

    	- 17 -

    	 

    

 

		(B)	Regularly Scheduled Meetings. Anything to the contrary in (A) above notwithstanding, if
the Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly, then its decision on review shall be made no later than the
date of the meeting which immediately follows the receipt of the Request for Review; provided, however, if such Request for Review

Amounts. An Executive may elect to defer whole percentages of his Compensation, Bonus, and/or Deferred Bonus for a Plan Year.

 

2.2           Deferral
Elections.

 

(a)          First
Year of Eligibility. If an Executive first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during the Plan Year, the Executive
may make an election to defer his Compensation, Bonus, and/or Deferred Bonus by filing a properly completed written deferral election
with the Committee using the form required by the Committee. Such deferral election form must be properly filed with the Committee
no later than thirty (30) days after the date the Executive first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, or such earlier
date specified by the Committee. The Executive’s deferral election shall be effective only with respect to Compensation,
a Bonus, and/or a Deferred Bonus paid for services performed during the Plan Year in which the Executive first becomes eligible.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s deferral election shall apply only to Compensation, a Bonus, and/or a Deferred
Bonus paid for services performed after the election in accordance with Code §409A and the regulations thereunder.

 

(b)          Open
Enrollment. An Executive may make an election to defer his Compensation, Bonus, and/or Deferred Bonus that relate to services
performed during a subsequent Plan Year during the applicable Open Enrollment Period by filing a properly completed written deferral
election with the Committee using the form required by the Committee. Such deferral election form must be filed with the Committee
no later than the end of the Open Enrollment Period, or such later date permitted by the Committee, but in no event later than
the last day of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which the deferral election relates. The Executive’s
deferral election shall be effective only with respect to Compensation, a Bonus, and/or a Deferred Bonus paid for services performed
with respect to the applicable Plan Year.

 

(c)          Irrevocability
Of Deferral Elections. An Executive’s deferral election generally will become irrevocable upon the expiration of the
deadlines specified in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b). However, the deferral election may be cancelled: (1) upon the occurrence of
an Unforeseeable Emergency; or (2) if a Participant takes a hardship distribution from the Tax-Qualified Savings Plan.

 

2.3           Reduction
Of Compensation. Compensation, a Bonus, and/or a Deferred Bonus otherwise payable to an Executive during a Plan Year will be
reduced by the amount of his deferral elections under Section 2.1. The deferred amounts will be credited to the Executive’s
Deferred Compensation Account at the time determined by the Committee.

2.4           Matching
Allocations. An Eligible Executive may receive a matching allocation for a Plan Year, equal to 100% of the amounts he elected
to defer under Section 2.1 up to 6% of his Compensation, Bonus and/or Deferred Bonus that exceeds the Code §401(a)(17) compensation
limit, or other such amount determined by the Committee. The formula used to determine matching allocations may vary for each Eligible
Executive and for each Plan Year as determined by the Committee. Matching allocations will be credited to the Eligible Executive’s

Benefit Allocations. An Executive whose benefit accruals under the Supplemental Retirement Plan were frozen as of December
31, 2008 and who did not become entitled to payment of his benefits under the Supplemental Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2008

INVESTMENTS

 

3.1           Initial
Investment Elections. At the time an Executive first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, he may elect how his Account
is invested among hypothetical investment alternatives determined by the Committee. The election must be made in the manner required
by the Committee. If a Participant fails to make an initial investment election, his Account will be invested in the manner determined
by the Committee until the Participant makes a proper investment election.

 

3.2           Changing
Investment Elections. A Participant may elect to change his investment elections with respect to his Account in the manner,
and at the times, determined by the Committee. A Participant’s investment elections will become effective within a reasonable
time pursuant to rules established by the Committee.

 

3.3           Earnings
Index And Account Adjustments. A Participant’s investment elections will only be used as an index to determine earnings
or losses credited or debited to his Account. A Participant’s Account will be increased or decreased as if they had accrued
earnings or losses at the rate corresponding to the Participant’s hypothetical investment elections. The Committee will determine
the time and method of Account adjustments and the recordkeeping methodologies that will be used.

 

3.4           Hypothetical
Investment Alternatives. The Committee may select (or change) the Plan’s hypothetical investment alternatives at any
time. A Participant’s election of a hypothetical investment alternative will not be considered as an investment of assets
on behalf of the Participant. If the Committee decides to invest assets in any of the Plan’s hypothetical investment alternatives,
no Participant or Beneficiary will have rights to those invested amounts.

	3 or more Years of Service	 	 	100	%

 

4.2           Form
Of Benefit Payments. When an Executive makes his first deferral election under Article II, he also will elect how the vested
amounts in his Account will be paid in accordance with (a) through (d) below.

 

(a)          Affirmative
Benefit Payment Elections. A Participant may elect to have the vested amounts in his Account paid, in cash (unless otherwise
provided in (d) below) and in forms described in (1) and (2) below. An election must be in writing and made in the manner required
by the Committee.

 

(1)         A
single lump sum payment.

 

(2)         Equal
monthly installment payments which last no less than 12 months or more than 120 months. A Participant will continue to have the
same investment election rights as Participants who are not receiving installment payments, and his Account will continue to be
adjusted in accordance with Article III until the final installment payment is made. For purposes of Code §409A, installment
payments are treated as a single payment.

 

(b)          Changes
In Benefit Payment Elections. A Participant may change his affirmative payment election described in (a) above at any time
prior to his Separation From Service. The election must be in writing (and made in the manner required by the Committee) and the
Participant must satisfy (1) through (3) below.

 

(1)         The
new payment election must be filed with the Committee at least 12 months prior to the date the Participant’s benefits would
have otherwise been paid (or commenced) under the previous election.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(2)         The
Participant’s new payment election must defer the payment (or commencement) of his benefits at least 5 years from the date
his benefits would have otherwise been paid (or commenced) under the previous election.

 

(3)         The
Participant may not make a new election which accelerates the time his benefits will be paid (or commence) unless permitted by
Code §409A (and the regulations thereunder) and the Plan.

 

(c)          Default
Benefit Payment Elections. If a Participant had not made an affirmative payment election under (a) above at the time of his
Separation From Service, payment of the vested amount in his Account will automatically be made in a single lump sum payment.

 

(d)          Payment
Of Benefits In CFC Stock. If a Participant elected to invest in the Cincinnati Financial Corporation stock fund (if that’s
an available hypothetical investment alternative under the Plan), the Committee may allow him to elect to receive the vested amount
in his Account in the form of whole shares of Cincinnati Financial Corporation stock. Fractional shares will be paid in cash and
expenses attributable to the election may be deducted from the Participant’s Account.

 

4.3           Commencement
Of Benefits.

 

(a)          General.
Subject to (b) through (d) below, the vested amount in a Participant’s Account will commence in the form provided in Section

90 days following that date.

 

(b)          Acceleration
Of Benefit Payments In Certain Situations. Notwithstanding (a) above, the vested amount in a Participant’s Account may
be paid upon the occurrence of any of the events described in (1) through (3) below.

 

(1)         Unforeseeable
Emergencies. A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the vested amounts in his Account upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable
Emergency. A request for a distribution must be made in writing and in the manner required by the Committee. Distributions due
to an Unforeseeable Emergency will be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the need (which includes amounts necessary
to pay federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution), after
taking into account the extent to which the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement, insurance or otherwise, by liquidation
of the Participant’s assets (to the extent liquidation would not cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals
under the Plan.

 

(2)         Plan
Does Not Satisfy Code §409A. Payment of the vested amounts in a Participant’s Account may be made if the Plan fails
to satisfy Code §409A. Payments may not exceed the amount required to be included in a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s
income as a result of the Plan’s failure to comply with Code §409A. A Participant or Beneficiary will be solely responsible
for all taxes, penalties and/or interest with respect to his Plan benefits if the Plan does not satisfy Code §409A.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(3)         Domestic
Relations Orders. Notwithstanding (a) above, payment of the vested amounts in a Participant’s Account may be made to
an individual other than the Participant to the extent necessary to comply with a domestic relations order (as defined in Code

or (2) his death.

 

(2)         Payments
Due During The Delay Period. Payments to which a Participant would otherwise have been entitled during the first 6 months following
his Separation From Service will be paid on the earlier of: (1) the 1st day of the 7th month following his
Separation From Service; or (2) his death.

 

(d)          Discretionary
Delays In Benefit Payments. Notwithstanding (a) above, the Committee may decide to delay paying Plan benefits because of any
events permitted under Code §409A (and the regulations thereunder) as interpreted by the Committee, including but not limited,
to the situations described in (1) and (2)below.

 

(1)         Tax
Deduction Not Permitted Under Code §162(m). If the Employer’s tax deduction for a Plan benefit payment would not
be permitted under Code §162(m), the benefit payment will be at the later of the time described in (A) or (B) below.

 

(A)         During
the 1st taxable year of a Participant for which the Committee reasonably believes the benefit payment would be deductible
under Code §162(m).

 

(B)         During
the period beginning on the date of a Participant’s Separation From Service and ending on the later of: (i) the last day
of the taxable year of the Participant during which his Separation From Service occurs; or (ii) the 15th day of the
3rd calendar month following the Participant’s Separation From Service.

 

(C)         Treated
As Subsequent Deferral Elections. If benefit payments are delayed under this Paragraph, the delay will be treated as a subsequent
deferral election under Code §409A unless all benefit payments to the Participant that could be delayed under this Paragraph
are delayed.

 

(D)         Specified
Employees. If benefit payments are delayed under this Paragraph to a date on or after a Separation From Service for a Participant
who is a Specified Employee, the date that is 6 months after the Participant’s Separation From Service is substituted for
any reference to his Separation From Service.

(2)         Violation
Of Securities Laws. Making a benefit payment would violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws. The benefit payment
will be made on the earliest date the Committee reasonably believes that making the payment will not cause a violation of federal
securities laws or other applicable laws.

 

4.4           Death.

 

(a)          Death
Prior To The Commencement Of Benefits. If a Participant dies prior to the commencement of his Plan benefits, the vested amounts
in his Account will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum. The payment will be made as soon as administratively
practicable following the date of the Participant's death, but not more than 90 days following that date.

 

(b)          Death
After Commencement Of Benefits. If a Participant had already commenced receiving his Plan benefits in installment payments
at the time of his death, the installment payments will continue to be paid to his Beneficiary in the same manner as they were
being paid to the Participant.

 

4.5           Tax
Withholding. As a condition of receiving Plan benefits, the Employer may deduct (or cause to be deducted) from any amounts
payable to an individual (from the Plan or otherwise), or, in the Employer’s discretion, to otherwise to collect from the
individual any withholding for federal, state or other taxes with respect to Plan benefits as determined by the Employer.

 

4.6           Non-Assignability
Of Benefits. Except as required by Section 4.3(b)(3) or law, the right of a Participant or Beneficiary to receive Plan benefits
may not be made subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, hypothecation,
execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment. Any attempt (voluntary or involuntary) to take such action will have
no effect.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS

 

7.1           Consolidation
Or Merger. If the Employer or any other entity (resulting from a merger or consolidation, or which is a purchaser or transferee)
is merged or consolidated with another entity, or if substantially all of the Employer’s (or other entity’s) assets
are sold or transferred to another entity, the Plan’s provisions will be binding on (and inure to the benefit of) the continuing
entity.

 

7.2           Termination
And Amendment.

 

(a)          Amendment.
Cincinnati Financial Corporation may, in its discretion, amend the Plan at any time and in any manner that it deems advisable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may make amendments that are necessary for the Plan to comply with applicable laws
and minor amendments which do not materially affect the rights conferred under the Plan. Any amendment or termination may be given
retroactive effect as determined by Cincinnati Financial Corporation or the Committee. The Plan may not be amended orally or by
any course or purported course of dealing, but only by an instrument identified as an amendment and considered to be an amendment
by Cincinnati Financial Corporation. Written communications and descriptions not specifically identified within their text as amendments,
or not considered to be an amendment by Cincinnati Financial Corporation, will not constitute amendments and will have no interpretive
or controlling effect on the Plan. Oral communications will not constitute amendments and will have no interpretative or controlling
effect on the Plan.

 

(b)          Termination.
Cincinnati Financial Corporation may, in its discretion, terminate the Plan at any time and in any manner that it deems advisable.

 

7.3           Entire

7.4           Paying
For Benefits And Individuals’ Rights. Plan benefits will be paid from the Employer’s general assets and will not
be funded, or segregated in any way (unless the Employer utilizes a rabbi trust to hold assets). Participants’ and Beneficiaries’’
rights are limited to receiving the Plan benefits and are conditioned upon their continued compliance with the terms of the Plan.
To the extent a Participant or Beneficiary acquires a right to receive Plan benefits, that right will be no greater than the rights
of the Employer’s unsecured general creditors.

 

7.5           Severability.
If a Plan provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will not affect other Plan provisions. The Plan will
be construed and enforced as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was not included in the Plan.

or interpretation of the Plan.

 

7.8           No
Employment Rights Conferred. The Plan does not give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer and
it will not interfere with the Employer’s right to discharge a Participant.

 

7.9           No
Guarantee Of Tax Consequences. A Participant (or Beneficiary) will be responsible for all taxes, penalties and/or interest
with respect to his benefits under the Plan. The Employer does not guarantee any particular tax consequences.
