such form or forms and not in any event later than the last day of the immediately preceding Tax Year (or not in any event later than 30 days after the date on which such award is granted if (i) under the terms of such award the award is
subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the award is granted and (ii) the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at
which the forfeiture condition could lapse). 
 (4) If permitted by the Committee and subject to such administrative rules as
the Committee may prescribe, a Key Employee may change, or terminate and thereby void, any deferral election that he or she has made for a Tax Year under the provisions of subparagraph (1), (2), or (3) of this paragraph (a), by completing an
appropriate form and filing such form with the Committee, up to but not after the latest day by which he or she could still make a deferral election for such Tax Year under the provisions of subparagraph (1), (2), or (3) of this paragraph

paragraph (a)).

surrender to Convergys any of the restricted Shares subject to such award (on a deferral form that is filed with the Committee on a timely basis in accordance with the provisions of subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this paragraph(a)) shall be
deemed to be an election to defer the receipt of the part of the award reflected by such surrendered restricted Shares for all purposes of paragraph (a) and the other provisions of the Plan. 
 (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (3) and (5) of this paragraph (a) or any other provision of the Plan, a
Key Employee may not elect to defer the receipt of any part of a Restricted Stock Award (pursuant to the provisions of subparagraphs (3) and (5) of this paragraph (a) or otherwise) when such award is granted to the Key Employee after

paragraph (b). 
 (c) Conditions on Validity of Deferral Election. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, any election that a Key Employee makes under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.1 to defer the receipt of any part of an award (whether such award is Performance-Based Compensation or not) shall be deemed to be void and of no effect
in the event and when the Key Employee forfeits any right to receive such award part (e.g., if and when the Participant fails to satisfy the conditions necessary to ever become entitled to receive such award part or if and when any
performance criteria applicable to such award part are not satisfied) and in such case no amounts attributable to such award part shall be credited to the Account of the Key Employee under the Plan. 
 (d) Special Pre-March 15, 2005 Deferral Election Right. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and pursuant to

election that is made by a Key Employee on or before March 15, 2005 to defer the receipt of any compensation that both is subject to the terms of this Plan under the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection 4.1 and
relates to services performed by the Key Employee on or before December 31, 2005, provided that (i) the compensation to which the deferral election relates has not or had not been paid or become payable by the time of the election and

Employee, there shall also be credited, to such Account under subsection 5.1(d) hereof, an amount computed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b), (c), or (d) of this subsection 4.2 (which amount shall be referred to in the Plan as
a “Company match”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any of the following paragraphs of this subsection 4.2, no Company match shall be made under the provisions of paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection 4.2 for any Key Employee
who was hired by the Company on or after January 1, 2002 with respect to any deferral date that occurs before the Key Employee has completed one year of eligibility service (as such term is defined in the RSP).

date that occurs on or after April 1, 2008 shall be the lesser of: 
 (1) the result obtained (not less than zero) by
subtracting the Key Employee’s Maximum 401(m) Match for such deferral date from 5% of the Key Employee’s Total Compensation for such deferral date; or 
 (2) 100% of the first 5% of the amount of the Basic Salary and Annual Cash Incentive Award deferred by the Key Employee pursuant to the
Plan as of such deferral date.

When Deferral Date Occurs Prior to April 1, 2008. The Company match to be credited to a Key Employee’s Account by reason of any Basic Salary and Annual Cash Incentive Award deferrals made with respect to any deferral date that
occurs prior to April 1, 2008 shall be the lesser of:

deferral date. 
 (e) Special Rules As to Basic Salary and Annual Cash Incentive Awards Used To Determine Company
Match. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, for purposes of determining the Company match for any deferral date under the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection 4.2, a Key Employee’s Basic Salary
and Annual Cash Incentive Award as of such date shall be deemed not to include any award payable under the LTIP or any other long term incentive plan or any type of compensation which is excluded from being treated as “covered
compensation” under the terms of the RSP (other than compensation that is excluded from being treated as “covered compensation” under the RSP merely because it exceeds an applicable dollar limit imposed under the RSP). 
  

	5.	Maintenance and Valuation of Accounts. 

 5.1 Accounts. An Account shall be established for each Participant in accordance with the following paragraphs of this subsection 5.1 to reflect the amounts of (i) his or her Basic Salary, Annual Cash Incentive Awards,
other awards (including any LTIP awards), and Company matches that are to be credited to such Account under the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and/or (d) of this subsection 5.1 and (ii) the assumed investment of such amounts. The
Committee shall create subaccounts under any Participant’s Account to the extent needed 

  

 9 

 
administratively (e.g., to account for different distribution rules that apply to different portions of the Participant’s Account). For purposes
of this Plan, the net investment returns and losses of the assumed investment of any credits made to a Participant’s Account, or any Company match that relates to any deferred Basic Salary or award credits made to the Participant’s
Account, shall be deemed to be “attributable” to the portion of such Account that reflects such credits. 
 (a)
Crediting To Account of Basic Salary or Non-Performance-Based Award. Subject to such administrative rules as the Committee may prescribe, any amount of Basic Salary or any part of an award that is not a Performance-Based Award deferred by
a Participant under the Plan pursuant to the provisions of subsection 4.1(a) hereof shall be credited to the Account of the Participant as of the day on which such deferred amount or part would otherwise have been paid to the Participant; except
that any part of a Restricted Stock Award deferred by a Participant under the Plan pursuant to the provisions of subsection 4.1(a) hereof shall be credited to the Account of the Participant as of the day on which the restricted Shares that are
reflected by such part are surrendered to Convergys. 
 (b) Crediting To Account of Performance-Based Award.
Subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe, any part of a Performance-Based Award deferred by a Participant under the Plan under the provisions of subsection 4.1(b) hereof shall be credited to the Account of the Participant as of the
latest of (i) the day on which the performance period applicable to such award part ends, (ii) the first day on which the Participant has no substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(d) of the Treasury
Regulations) with respect to such Performance-Based Award part and the amount of such part has become readily ascertainable, or (iii) the first day on which any portion of such Performance-Based Award part would otherwise (but for the deferral
election) have been paid to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary. 
 (c) Determination of Share Value or Shares
Credited To Account. When any part of an award that is deferred by a Participant under the Plan and credited to the Account of the Participant is otherwise payable in Shares (but is not a Restricted Stock Award or a Restricted Stock Unit
Award), the amount credited to the Account as of the day determined under the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 5.1 shall equal the fair market value (determined as of such day) of the number of Shares that would
otherwise be paid to the Participant (or that would otherwise have their restrictions lapse under such award part). In contrast, when any part of a Restricted Stock Award or a Restricted Stock Unit Award is deferred by a Participant under the Plan
and credited to the Account of the Participant, the credit to the Account (that is made as of the day determined under the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 5.1) shall be denominated in Shares and equal the number of
Shares that would otherwise be paid to the Participant (or that would otherwise have their restrictions lapse under such award part). 
 (d) Crediting To Account of Company Match. Subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe, any amount of a Company match applicable to a Participant under the provisions of subsection 4.2 hereof
shall be credited to the Account of the Participant as of the date on which the deferred amount or part of the Participant’s Basic Salary or award to which the Company match relates would otherwise have been paid to the Participant (or, to the
extent that the deferred award part to which the Company match relates is part of a Restricted Stock Award, the Company match amount shall be credited to the Account of the Participant as of the date the Shares reflected by such deferred part are
surrendered to Convergys). 
  

 10 

 (e) Assumed Investment of Account. Any amounts credited to the Account of a
Participant under paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and/or (d) of this subsection 5.1 shall be assumed to have been invested in the investments designated or deemed to be designated by the Participant on a form provided by and filed with the Committee,
and adjusted by reason of such assumed investments, in accordance with the provisions of subsection 5.2 hereof. 
 5.2 Assumed
Investments. The Committee shall designate in notices or other documents provided to Participants a limited number of “assumed investments” for purposes of the Plan. Such assumed investments will generally be (but will not be
required to be) limited to mutual funds or similar types of investments but may and generally will include an assumed investment in Shares. Some or all of the assumed investments designated for the Plan may be changed by the Committee to other
assumed investments, effective as of any date, in which case prior written notice of such change shall be provided by the Committee to all Participants. 
 (a) General Rules on Participant Designations of Assumed Investments. The credits to any Participant’s Account made in accordance with subsection 5.1 hereof shall be assumed to have been invested
among such assumed investments, and in such proportions, as is elected in a writing filed by the Participant with the Committee, except that any investment direction of the Participant is subject to such reasonable administrative rules concerning
such assumed investment directions as are adopted or used by the Committee. 
 (b) Initial Assumed Investment
Election. The Participant must elect on or before the first date a credit is made to the Account established for him or her under the provisions of subsection 5.1 hereof the assumed investments in which his or her Account credits are to be
initially assumed to be invested and the proportions of each credit initially assumed to be invested in each designated assumed investment. Otherwise, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected that his or her Account credits will not be
assumed to be invested in any investment until he or she makes an investment election under the provisions of this subsection 5.2 (or, if the Committee in its discretion so decides, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected that his or her
Account credits will be assumed to be initially invested in an investment or investments chosen by the Committee). 
 (c)
Change in Assumed Investment Election. Further, the Participant may request a change in the assumed investments of his or her Account and the proportions of his or her new Account credits assumed to be invested in each designated
investment to other assumed investments and/or proportions effective as of any January 1, or as of any other date as the Committee may provide in its discretion, upon written notice to the Committee prior to such date (or such earlier date as
may be established by the Committee). 
 (d) Adjustment of Account for Assumed Investment Returns and Losses.
The amounts credited to any Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as of each December 31, and as of such other dates as the Committee may provide in its discretion, to reflect the assumed investment returns or losses (since the last
prior adjustment in the Account) that are attributable to the assumed investments in which his or her Account is deemed to be invested. 
 (e) Special Assumed Investment Rule for Deferred Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award Credits. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, when any amounts credited to a
Participant’s Account reflect any deferred part of a 

  

 11 

 
Restricted Stock Award or a Restricted Stock Unit Award, and any Company match attributable to such deferred award parts, the Participant shall be deemed to
have designated such credits to be assumed to be invested solely in Shares from the day such amounts are credited to the Account. 
 5.3
Nonvested Company Match Amounts. 
 (a) Vesting Conditions on Company Match. In its discretion, the
Committee may, by notice to a Participant on or prior to the date on which a Company match is credited to the Account of the Participant, condition the right to receive payments with respect to all or a portion of the part of such Account that
reflects such Company match on the Participant’s completing a minimum period of service with the Company. If the Committee does so, then, until the Participant satisfies such condition, the amounts allocated to the part of such Account that is
subject to such condition shall be considered to be “nonvested.” 
 (b) Effect of Nonvested Status of Company
Match. Any portion of the Account of a Participant that is at any time nonvested under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection 5.3 shall not in any event, even when the provisions of section 6 hereof would otherwise permit a
distribution of such Account portion at such time and notwithstanding any provision of section 6 hereof which may be read to the contrary, be able to be distributed to the Participant or any other party claiming through the Participant until such
Account portion is no longer nonvested (and any distribution of such Account portion otherwise called for under section 6 hereof shall to the extent necessary be deferred until, and shall be made as of, the date such portion is no longer nonvested).

 (1) Consistent with the rule set forth in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b) and notwithstanding any other
provision of section 6 hereof, any reference in any provision of section 6 hereof to the amounts allocated to a portion of the Account of a Participant at any time shall be deemed not to include the amounts allocated to any part of such Account
portion that is then nonvested and such part shall be treated as if it were a separate class of Account until it is no longer nonvested. 
 (2) Further, if a Participant separates from service with the Company (other than by reason of his or her death) when any portion of the Account established for him or her is nonvested, he or she shall never be
entitled to receive the amounts allocated to such Account portion and such amounts shall be forfeited on his or her Date of Separation. 
 5.4 Valuation. 
 (a) Valuation of Account. The balance of the Account of a Participant
shall be determined periodically (under procedures adopted by the Committee) to reflect all amounts credited to the Account under the foregoing provisions of this section 5 since the latest preceding date on which the Account balance was determined,
any gains and losses in the value of the Account’s assumed investments since the latest date on which the Account balance was determined, and any payments or forfeitures since the latest preceding date on which the Account balance was
determined. 
  

 12 

 (b) Account Statements. As soon as practical following the end of each
calendar year, each Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary) shall be furnished a statement as of December 31 of such calendar year showing the balance of the Participant’s Account, the total increases and
reductions made in the balance of such Account during such calendar year, and, if amounts allocated to such Account are assumed to have been invested in securities, a description of such securities including the number of shares assumed to have been
purchased by the amounts allocated to such Account. 
 5.5 Share Adjustment Rules. To the extent a Participant’s Account
is assumed to have been invested in Shares, the following provisions of this subsection 5.5 shall apply. 
 (a) Cash
Dividends. Whenever any cash dividends are paid with respect to Shares, additional amounts shall be allocated to the Participant’s Account as of the dividend payment date. The additional amount to be allocated to the Account shall be
determined by multiplying the per share cash dividend paid with respect to the Shares on the dividend payment date by the number of assumed Shares allocated to the Account on the day preceding the dividend payment date. Subject to such
administrative rules as the Committee may prescribe, such additional amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be assumed to have been invested in additional Shares on the day on which such dividends are paid. 
 (b) Changes in Shares. If there is any change in Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or a stock split,
through a recapitalization resulting in a stock split, or through a combination or a change in shares, the number of shares assumed to have been allocated to each Account shall be appropriately adjusted. 
 5.6 Fair Market Value of Shares. Whenever Shares are to be valued for purposes of the Plan as of any date (such as a date on which
distribution of such Shares is to be made by the Company), the value of each such Share shall be determined by the Committee in good faith pursuant to methods and procedures established by the Committee and in accordance with a method appropriate to
the valuation of the Shares under Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations. In general, when the Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, such value shall be based on the closing price of a Share as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange on the latest date preceding the subject date for which the valuation is being made. 
 5.7 Deduction of Payments
or Forfeitures from Account and Cancellation of Account. 
 (a) Deduction of Payments and Forfeitures From
Account. Any payment, including an annual or monthly installment payment, or forfeiture of any portion of a Participant’s Account under the provisions of the Plan shall be charged, as of the date such payment or forfeiture is deemed to
be made under the other provisions of this Plan, to such Account portion (or, in other words, deducted from the amounts then allocated to such Account portion). Except as is otherwise provided under administrative policies adopted by the Committee,
any such payment or forfeiture shall be charged among all of the types of assumed investments applicable to such Account portion, on a pro rata basis. 
 (b) Cancellation of Account. Further, the Account of a Participant shall be cancelled, and the amount then allocated to such Account shall be reduced to zero, on the date as of which the entire amount
allocated to the Account at such time is deemed to be paid to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary under this Plan) and/or forfeited under the other provisions of the Plan. 
  

 13 

 5.8 Account Balance. For purposes of the Plan, the amounts allocated to the Account of a
Participant (i.e., the balance of such Account) at any specific time shall be deemed to be the net sum of amounts credited, charged, or otherwise allocated to such Account at such time under the other provisions of the Plan. 
  

	6.	Distributions. 

 6.1 General
Distribution Rules. Subject to the following provisions of this section 6 and the other provisions of the Plan, this subsection 6.1 concerns the rules for payment of amounts allocated to the Account of a Participant that normally will apply
(except for the special rules described in the following subsections of this section 6). 
 (a) Initial Distribution
Elections. Subject to the following provisions of this section 6 and to such administrative rules as the Committee may prescribe, the Participant may, in any deferral form filed with the Committee and by which he or she elects to defer the
receipt of any portion of his or her Basic Salary and awards to the extent they may be deferred under subsection 4.1 hereof, make the elections described in subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this paragraph (a) with respect to the payment
of all amounts allocated to the Participant’s Account that are attributable to the credits made to his or her Account by reason of such deferral election (for purposes of this subsection 6.1, the “subject deferred amounts”).

 (1) Subject to such administrative rules as the Committee may prescribe, the Participant may elect that the date as which
the subject deferred amounts shall commence to be paid (for purposes of this subsection 6.1, the subject deferred amounts’ “commencement date”) shall be the first day of any month that begins after the Participant’s Date of
Separation (but not later than the first day of the first month that begins after the tenth annual anniversary of the Participant’s Date of Separation). 
 (A) Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Participant is a Specified Employee on the Participant’s Date of Separation as determined
under the provisions of paragraph (d) of this subsection 6.1, and if he or she elects as the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date any date that is earlier than the date immediately following the date which is six months after his or
her Date of Separation, then such deferred amounts that are scheduled to be paid during the first six months following the Participant’s Date of Separation shall be delayed and paid in one lump sum payment immediately following the six month
anniversary of the Participant’s Date of Separation, and any payments that were not scheduled to be paid in the first six months shall be paid at the originally-scheduled time as if the six month delay had not occurred. 
 (B) In the event the Participant fails in the applicable deferral form to make any such election as to the subject deferred amounts’
commencement date, then he or she shall be deemed to have elected that such commencement date shall be the first March 1 that occurs after the end of the calendar year in which he or she separates from service with the Company (or, if the
Participant is a Specified Employee on the Participant’s Date of Separation as determined under the provisions of paragraph (d) of this subsection 6.1 and if later, the date immediately following the date which is six months after his or
her Date of Separation). 
  

 14 

 (2) Subject to such administrative rules as the Committee may prescribe, the Participant
may also elect to receive the subject deferred amounts (i) in one lump sum payment made as of the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date, (ii) in annual payments over two to ten years, or (iii) in monthly payments over two
to 120 months, provided (I) that the Committee may reject such election if the Committee determines that such election is likely to result in less than $50,000 to be paid from the deferrals for a year that are to be paid in cash pursuant to the
provisions of subsection 6.5 hereof, or in less than 1,000 Shares to be paid from the deferrals for a year that are to be paid in Shares pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.5 hereof, in any twelve month period, but such rejection must occur
by the deadline under Code Section 409A for the Participant’s payment election, and (II) a Participant may not elect monthly payments with respect to deferrals of Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. 
 (A) If the Participant elects to receive the subject deferred amounts in annual installments of two or more payments, then (i) the
date as of which the first annual installment payment is to be made shall be the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date and (ii) the date as of which any annual installment payment other than the first annual installment payment is to
be made shall be an annual anniversary of such commencement date. Similarly, if the Participant elects to receive the subject deferred amounts in monthly installments of two or more payments, then (i) the date as of which the first monthly
installment payment is to be made shall be the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date and (ii) the date as of which any monthly installment payment other than the first monthly installment payment is to be made shall be a monthly
anniversary of such commencement date. 
 (B) In the event the Participant fails in the applicable deferral form to make any
election as to the period over which the subject deferred amounts are to be paid, then he or she shall be deemed to have elected that such amounts shall be paid to the Participant in two annual installments, with the first installment being made as
of the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date. 
 (3) Subject to such administrative rules as the Committee may
prescribe and to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this subsection 6.1, if the Participant elects to receive the subject deferred amounts in annual or monthly installments of two or more payments, then the Participant may also make an election
regarding the calculation of installment payments under (A) or (B) below, provided that effective December 31, 2008, method (A) shall automatically apply and participants will have no election regarding the amount of payment:

 (A) a fraction of the subject deferred amounts determined as of
each March 1st (or, if later, the first installment payment date) based on account values approximately two weeks prior to the determination
date, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of installments remaining to be paid of the subject deferred amounts (including the installment to be paid on the first installment payment date) and the
next annual payment or 12 monthly payments shall be in the amount calculated; or 
 (B) a specific dollar amount specified by
the Participant for the portion of the Participant’s Account that is to be payable in cash pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.5 hereof (but not less than the amount required to ensure that at least $50,000 is paid from the
Participant’s Account in any twelve month period), and a specific number of Shares specified by the Participant for the portion of the Participant’s Account that is to be payable in Shares pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.5
hereof (but not less than the number required to ensure that at least 1,000 Shares is distributed from the Participant’s Account 

  

 15 

 
in any twelve month period), except that such election shall be deemed to be void if the Committee reasonably determines that such election will not
liquidate the subject deferred amounts over the number of annual or monthly installments that have been elected or deemed to be elected by the Participant for distribution of the subject deferred amounts. 
 In the event the Participant fails in the applicable deferral form to make any such election as to the amount of each annual or monthly installment of the subject
deferred amounts, then he or she shall be deemed to have elected that the amount of each annual or monthly installment of such amounts shall be the amount described in clause (A) of this subparagraph (3). Further, if the remaining balance of a
Participant’s deferrals is calculated to be $50,000 or less (or the stock portion is 1,000 shares or less), the remaining balance shall be paid in a lump sum. 
 (b) Subsequent Distribution Elections. The Participant may, by filing an appropriate form with the Committee not less than
twelve months before the subject deferred amounts’ commencement date that has previously been elected or deemed to be elected and that would otherwise apply (for purposes of this paragraph (b), the subject deferred amounts’ “initial
commencement date”), elect to change any or all of the initial elections he or she has made or has been deemed to have made under paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.1 (with respect to the commencement date of the payments, the period over
which payments will be made, and the amount of each installment payment) that apply to the subject deferred amounts, provided that: 
 (1) any such new election shall not become effective until at least 12 months after the filing of such election with the Committee (and thus will be ineffective if the initial commencement date for such amount(s) occurs before the 12 months
end); 
 (2) any such new election would comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.1 other than
for the time as of which such election is made; and 
 (3) any such new election must provide for a new commencement date for
the subject deferred amounts that is at least five years after the subject deferred amounts’ initial commencement date. 
 (c) Special Rules Applicable to Annual or Monthly Installments. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.1, if the Participant elects or is deemed to elect under the provisions of paragraph (a)(3)
of this subsection 6.1 to receive the subject deferred amounts in annual or monthly installments of two or more payments, then the following subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (c) shall apply in determining the number of
annual or monthly installment payments over which the amounts allocated to the subject deferred amounts are to be paid and the amount of each such annual installment payment. 
 (1) If the amount of any annual or monthly installment of the subject deferred amounts is determined not likely to result in annual
distributions of at least $50,000 (or, if less, the remaining balance of the applicable Account portion) from the deferrals to be paid in cash pursuant under subsection 6.5 hereof, and at least 1,000 Shares (or, if less, the remaining balance of the
applicable Account portion) from the deferrals to be paid in Shares under subsection 6.5 hereof, the Administrator may reject such election by notice to the Participant no later than the Code Section 409A deadline for the Participant’s
payment election, which notice may substitute a lower number of installment payments. Any election not rejected by the payment election deadline shall become effective as of such deadline. 
  

 16 

 (2) If the subject deferred amounts are not reduced to zero by the final annual or
monthly installment payment of such amounts that was scheduled to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section 6.1, then such final annual or monthly installment payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to cancel the
subject deferred amounts. 
 (d) Determination of Specified Employees. For purposes of the provisions of this
subsection 6.1, a Participant shall be deemed to be a “Specified Employee” on each and any day that occurs during any twelve month period that begins on an April 1 and ends on the next following March 31 (for purposes of this
paragraph (d), the “subject period”) if, and only if, (i) on any day that occurs in the twelve month period (for purposes of this paragraph (d), the “identification period”) that ends on the latest Identification Date that
precedes the start of the subject period any corporation or organization that is then an Employer or Affiliate has stock which is publicly traded on an established securities market (within the meaning of Section 1.897-1(m) of the Treasury
Regulations) or otherwise and (ii) the Participant meets either the criteria set forth in subparagraph (1) of this paragraph (d) or the criteria set forth in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph (d): 
 (1) He or she both (i) is an officer of any Employer or Affiliate on any day that occurs in the identification period and
(ii) he or she receives during the identification period an aggregate amount of Compensation from the Employers and Affiliates greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i) of the Code). For this purpose and in accordance with
the terms of Code Section 416(i) and the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 416 of the Code, no more than 50 employees (or, if less, the greater of three employees or 10% of the employees) of all of the Employers and Affiliates
shall be treated as officers; or 
 (2) He or she either: (i) is a 5% or more owner of any Employer or Affiliate on any
day that occurs in the identification period; or (ii) both is a 1% or more owner of any Employer or Affiliate on any day that occurs in the identification period and receives during the identification period an aggregate amount of Compensation
from the Employers and Affiliates greater than $150,000. For purposes of this subparagraph (2), a Participant is considered to own 5% or 1%, as the case may be, of any Employer or Affiliate if he or she owns (or is considered as owning within the
meaning of Code Section 318, except that subparagraph (C) of Code Section 318(a)(2) shall be applied by substituting “5%” for “50%”) at least 5% or 1%, as the case may be, of either the outstanding stock or the
voting power of all stock of the Employer or Affiliate (or, if the Employer or Affiliate is not a corporation, at least 5% or 1%, as the case may be, of the capital or profits interest in the Employer or Affiliate). 
 (e) Definitions of Terms Used in Specified Employee Determinations. For purposes of paragraph (d) of this subsection
6.1, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth. 
 (1) “Affiliate” means: (i) any
member of an affiliated service group, within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code, which includes an Employer; and (ii) each other entity required to be aggregated with an Employer under Section 414(o) of the Code. 

(2) “Identification Date” means December 31. In this regard, Convergys has elected that December 31 serve as the
identification date for purposes of determining Specified Employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations. 
  

 17 

 (3) “Compensation” means, with respect to a Participant and for any
identification period, the sum of: 
 (A) the Participant’s wages (within the meaning of Section 3401(a) of the
Code) and all other compensation paid during such period to the person by the Employers and the Affiliates (in the course of their trades or businesses) and for which they are required to furnish the Participant a written statement under
Section 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), or 6052 of the Code (e.g., compensation reported in Box 1 on a Form W-2), determined without regard to any rules under Section 3401(a) of the Code that limit the remuneration included in wages based
on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed; and 
 (B) any amounts which are not treated as the
Participant’s Compensation for such identification period under clause (A) of this subparagraph (3) solely because such amounts are considered contributions that are made by an Employer or Affiliate on behalf of the Participant and
are not includable in the Participant’s income for federal income tax purposes by reason of Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), and/or 132(f)(4) of the Code or any other types of deferred compensation or contributions described in Code
Section 414(s)(2) or Section 1.414(s)-1(c)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 6.2 Special Pre-December 31, 2008
Distribution Election Right. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of subsection 6.1 hereof, Convergys may, in its discretion and pursuant to and in accordance with certain transition relief contained in guidance that is cited in Section
XII.A of the preamble to Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6 of the Treasury Regulations and as such relief was extended in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86, and by adopting and distributing written forms, notices, or other written documents,
permit any Participant to make, at any time prior to December 31, 2008 and by filing with the Committee a writing or form approved or prepared by the Committee, a new election as to the commencement date of the payments, the period over which
payments will be made, and/or the amount of each of such payments that will apply to any portion of the amounts subject to deferral under this Plan prior to the date of such election (for purposes of this subsection 6.2, the Participant’s
“previously deferred amounts”) and have such new election treated for all purposes of this Plan as if such new election had been initially made on a timely basis in accordance with the provisions of subsection 6.1 hereof. 
 (a) Conditions on Pre-December 31, 2008 Distribution Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) in no
event shall any election made under the provisions of this subsection 6.2 be given any effect under the Plan unless the Participant actually makes such new election on or before December 31, 2008; and (ii) any election made under the
provisions of this subsection 6.2 shall not be given any effect under the Plan to the extent that it attempts to apply to any portion of the Participant’s previously deferred amounts that would otherwise be paid during the same calendar year as
the calendar year in which the election is made or attempts to cause any portion of the Participant’s previously deferred amounts to be paid during the same calendar year as the calendar year in which the election is made. 
 (b) Incorporation of Pre-December 31, 2008 Distribution Election Forms. Any written forms, notices, or other written
documents adopted and distributed by Convergys under the terms of this subsection 6.2 shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Plan and an amendment to this Plan. 
  

 18 

 6.3 Special Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan and subject to the provisions of this subsection 6.3 and the administrative policy of Convergys and the Committee, a Participant may, by filing an appropriate form with the Committee, elect to have any portion of the amounts then
allocated to his or her Account under the Plan (other than for the portion of his or her Account that are attributable to the Participant’s deferral of Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards) distributed to him or her as of
any date (for purposes of this subsection 6.3, the “payment date”) that occurs after such election is filed with the Committee because of an unforeseeable emergency, even if the payment date precedes the date as of which such portion of
his or her Account would otherwise be paid under the foregoing provisions of this section 6. 
 (a) Ancillary Election
To Stop Deferral Elections In Event of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may also, by filing an appropriate form with the Committee, elect, because of an unforeseeable emergency, to cancel and void in its entirety any election that he
or she has in effect under the provisions of section 4 hereof to defer the receipt of compensation that has not yet as of the payment date become payable and free of any substantial risk of forfeiture, and any such election shall be considered a
request for a distribution for purposes of this subsection 6.3 that is made on the first date any such compensation has become payable and free of any substantial risk of forfeiture. 
 (b) Conditions For Approval of Hardship Distribution Request. Any distribution requested under this subsection 6.3 because
of an unforeseeable emergency shall be granted by the Committee if, and only if, the Committee determines that the requested hardship distribution meets all of the requirements set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this subsection 6.3.

 (c) Hardship Reason Requirements for Distribution. Any distribution which is requested by a Participant under
this subsection 6.3 because of an unforeseeable emergency must be requested by the Participant and certified by him or her to be on account of the Participant’s severe financial hardship resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant,
the Participant’s spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)) of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Code
Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)) of the Participant may also constitute an unforeseeable emergency for purposes of this subsection 6.3. Written documentation of the reason for requesting the distribution shall be required. Whether a
distribution is requested on account of an unforeseeable emergency shall be determined by the Committee on the basis of all facts and circumstances. In no event shall an unforeseeable emergency for purposes of this subsection 6.3 be deemed to exist
for any reason that would not constitute an unforeseeable emergency under the provisions of Section 1.409A-3(i)(3) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (d) Financial Need Requirements for Distribution. Any distribution which is requested by a Participant under this subsection 6.3 because of an unforeseeable emergency must also be necessary to satisfy
the need for the distribution. A distribution shall be deemed necessary to satisfy such need if, and only if, the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (d), and any other conditions imposed by the Committee in
its discretion, are met. 
  

 19 

 (1) The Participant certifies and provides written evidence that the distribution is not
in excess of the amount of the financial need of the Participant which has caused the Participant to request the distribution (taking into account, if applicable, any additional compensation that will become payable to the Participant by his or her
canceling deferral elections under this Plan in accordance with paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3). The amount of financial need of the Participant may include an amount permitted by the Committee to cover federal, state, local, or foreign
taxes which can reasonably be anticipated to result to the Participant from the distribution. 
 (2) The Participant certifies
and provides written evidence (including, when applicable, a financial statement) that he or she cannot relieve his or her need for the distribution through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the
Participant’s assets, or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan and other deferred compensation plans of the Company. For purposes hereof, the Participant’s assets are deemed to include those assets of the Participant’s spouse and
minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant. 
 (e) Limitation Applicable to Specified
Employees. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.3, if (i) a Participant elects a distribution under this subsection 6.3 by reason of an unforeseeable emergency, (ii) the Participant’s Date of
Separation precedes the date on which he or she makes such unforeseeable emergency distribution election under this subsection 6.3, (iii) the Participant is a Specified Employee on the Participant’s Date of Separation (as determined under
the provisions of subsection 6.1(d) hereof), and (iv) the Participant elects a payment date under this subsection 6.3 that is earlier than the date immediately following the date which is six months after his or her Date of Separation, then the
Participant shall be deemed to have elected that such payment date shall be the date immediately following the date which is six months after the Participant’s Date of Separation. 
 6.4 Death. 
 (a) Death Before Payments Otherwise Begin. If a Participant dies before the date as of which any specific part of his or her Account has begun to be paid under the other provisions of this section 6 (whether such death occurs
before or on or after the Participant’s separation from service with the Company), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall (i) make to the Participant’s Beneficiary any payments of the amounts
allocated to such part of the Participant’s Account that during the period beginning on the date of the Participant’s death and ending on the first business day of the third calendar quarter following the date of the Participant’s
death would have been paid to the Participant under the other provisions of this section 6 had he or she not died (but had he or she still separated from service with the Company on the date of his or her death if he or she had not previously done
so), and at the same times and on the same schedule that would have applied had the Participant not died (but had he or she still separated from service with the Company on the date of his or her death if he or she had not previously done so), and
(ii) shall pay to the Beneficiary any still remaining amounts then allocated to such part of the Participant’s Account in one lump sum as of the first business day of the third calendar quarter following the date of the Participant’s
death. 
 (b) Death After Payments Begin. If a Participant dies on or after the date as of which any part of his
or her Account has begun to be paid under the other provisions of this section 6, then the Company shall make to the Participant’s Beneficiary all payments of the 

  

 20 

 
amounts allocated to such part of the Participant’s Account that would have been paid to the Participant after his or her death under the other
provisions of this section 6 had he or she not died (and at the same times and on the same schedule that would have applied had the Participant not died). 
 6.5 Cash or Share Form of Payment. Any payment made under the Plan to a Participant (or a Participant’s Beneficiary) shall be made (i) in Shares to the extent it is attributable to the
Participant’s deferral of any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award (and assumed to be invested in whole Shares) and (ii) in cash to the extent it is not attributable to the Participant’s deferral of any Restricted
Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards (or, while attributable to the Participant’s deferral of any Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Unit Awards, is assumed to be invested in a fraction, and not a whole, Share). 
 6.6 Distributions for Payment of Taxes. 
 (a) Distribution for FICA and Related Income Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have the right (without notice to or approval by a Participant, his or her
Beneficiary, or any other person) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (for purposes of this paragraph (a), “FICA”) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) on compensation deferred under the Plan with
respect to the Participant (for purposes of this paragraph (a), the “FICA amount”), plus (i) any income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state,
local, or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA amount and (ii) any additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes, from the compensation deferred under the Plan
with respect to the Participant (or from any amounts otherwise payable by the Company to or on account of the Participant). 
 (1) However, the total payment that is taken under the provisions of this paragraph (a) from the compensation deferred under the Plan for the Participant must not exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount and the income tax withholding
related to the FICA amount. 
 (2) To the extent payments made in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph
(a) are satisfied from the compensation deferred under the Plan for the Participant, then the balance in the Participant’s Account shall immediately be reduced by the amount of such payments. 
 (b) Distributions for Benefit Payment Tax Withholding Requirements. Also notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
the Company shall have the right (without notice to or approval by a Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or any other person) to withhold from any amounts otherwise payable by the Company to or on account of the Participant, or from any payment
otherwise then being made by the Company to the Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or any other person by reason of the Plan, an amount which the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, local, and foreign tax withholding
requirements that may apply with respect to such benefit payment made under the Plan. To the extent such tax withholding requirements are satisfied from any payment otherwise then being made by the Company to the Participant, his or her Beneficiary,
or any other person by reason of the Plan, the amount so withheld shall be deemed a distribution to the Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or such other person, as the case may be. 
  

 21 

 6.7 Administrative Period To Make
Payments. The other provisions of this section 6 provide that any payment that is made under the Plan to or with respect to a Participant shall occur “as of” a specific date and sometimes refer to such a date as a
“commencement date” or a “payment date.” However, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.409A-3(d) of the Treasury Regulations and in order to permit a reasonable administrative period for the Company to make
payments required under the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of this section 6 or any other provision of the Plan, any payment that is made under the Plan to or with respect to a Participant shall be deemed to have been made as of the
specific date as of which it is to be paid under the other provisions of the Plan as long as it is made no earlier than 30 days before such date and no later date within the same Tax Year of the Participant (or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following such specified date), provided that the Participant shall not be permitted directly or indirectly to designate the
tax year of payment. 
 6.8 Employer To Make Payment. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, any payment with respect to a
Participant’s Account shall be the liability of and, subject to the provisions of subsection 8.2 hereof, made by the Employer which last employs the Participant as a Key Employee prior to the payment. 
 6.9 Facility of Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any person who is under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the
Committee, is unable to properly manage the person’s financial affairs may be paid to the legal representative of such person or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner which the Committee may select, and any such payment
shall be deemed to be payment for such person’s account and shall be a complete discharge of all liability of the applicable Employer with respect to the amount so paid. 
  

	7.	Administration of Plan. 

 7.1
Administrator of Plan. Convergys shall be the administrator of the Plan. However, the Plan shall be administered on behalf of Convergys by the Committee. 
 7.2 Powers of Committee. The Committee, in connection with administering the Plan, is authorized to make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan and is
given complete discretionary authority to determine any person’s eligibility for benefits under the Plan, to construe the terms of the Plan, and to decide any other matters pertaining to the Plan’s administration. The Committee shall
determine any question arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan, which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons (subject only to the claims procedure provisions of subsection 7.6 below). The
Committee may correct errors, however arising, and, as far as possible, adjust any benefit payments accordingly. 
 7.3 Actions of
Committee. 
 (a) Manner of Acting as Committee. The Committee shall act by a majority of its members at
the time in office, and any such action may be taken either by a vote at a meeting or in writing without a meeting. The Committee may by such majority action appoint subcommittees and may authorize any one or more of its members or any agent of it
to execute any document or documents or to take any other action, including the exercise of discretion, on behalf of the Committee. 
  

 22 

 (b) Appointment of Agents. The Committee may appoint or employ such
counsel, auditors, physicians, clerical help, actuaries, and/or any other agents as in the Committee’s judgment may seem reasonable or necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and any agent it so employs may carry out any of the
responsibilities of the Committee that are delegated to him or her with the same effect as if the Committee had acted directly. The Committee may provide for the allocation of responsibilities for the operation of the Plan. 
 (c) Conflict of Interest of Committee Member. Any member of the Committee who is also a Participant in the Plan shall not
participate in any meeting, discussion, or action of the Committee that specifically concerns his or her own situation. 
 7.4
Compensation of Committee and Payment of Administrative Expenses. The members of the Committee shall not receive any extra or special compensation for serving as the administrative committee with respect to the Plan and, except as
required by law, no bond or other security need be required of them in such capacity in any jurisdiction. All expenses of the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. 
 7.5 Limits on Liability. The Company shall hold each member of the Committee harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses,
and liabilities arising from any act or omission of the member under or relating to the Plan, other than any expenses or liabilities resulting from the member’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall be in addition to any other rights to which the members of the Committee may be entitled as a matter of law. 
 7.6 Claims
Procedures. 
 (a) Initial Claim. If a Participant, a Participant’s Beneficiary, or any other
person claiming through a Participant has a dispute as to the failure of the Plan to pay or provide a benefit, as to the amount of Plan benefit paid, or as to any other matter involving the Plan, the person may file a claim for the benefit or relief
believed by the person to be due. Such claim must be provided by written notice to the Committee. The Committee shall decide any claims made pursuant to this subsection 7.6. 
 (b) Rules If Initial Claim Is Denied. If a claim made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 7.6 is denied, in
whole or in part, the Committee shall generally furnish notice of the denial in writing to the claimant within 90 days (or, if a Participant’s disability is material to the claim, 45 days) after receipt of the claim by the Committee; except
that if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the period in which the Committee is to furnish the claimant written notice of the denial shall be extended for up to an additional 90 days (or, if a
Participant’s disability is material to the claim, an additional 30 days), and the Committee shall provide the claimant within the initial 90-day (or 45-day) period a written notice indicating the reasons for the extension and the date by which
the Committee expects to render the final decision. 
  

 23 

 (c) Final Denial Notice. If a claim made pursuant to paragraph (a) of
this subsection 7.6 is denied, in whole or in part, the final notice of denial shall be written in a manner designed to be understood by the claimant and set forth (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to
pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and
(iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to appeal such denial of his or her claim, including the time limits applicable to making a request for an appeal and, in the event the claim is one for benefits under the
Plan, a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal. 
 (d) Appeal of Denied Claim. Any claimant who has a claim denied under the foregoing paragraphs of this subsection 7.6 may
appeal the denied claim to the Committee. Such an appeal must, in order to be considered, be filed by written notice to the Committee within 60 days (or, if a Participant’s disability is material to the claim, 180 days) of the receipt by the
claimant of a written notice of the denial of his or her initial claim. If any appeal is filed in accordance with such rules, the claimant (i) shall be given, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents,
records, and other information relevant to the claim and (ii) shall be provided the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim. A formal hearing may be allowed in its discretion by
the Committee but is not required. 
 (e) Appeal Process. Upon any appeal of a denied claim, the Committee shall
provide a full and fair review of the subject claim, taking into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant (without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
determination of the claim), and generally decide the appeal within 60 days (or, if a Participant’s disability is material to the claim, 45 days) after the filing of the appeal; except that if special circumstances require an extension of time
for processing the appeal, the period in which the appeal is to be decided may be extended for up to an additional 60 days (or, if a Participant’s disability is material to the claim, an additional 45 days) and the Committee shall provide the
claimant written notice of the extension prior to the end of the initial period. However, if the decision on the appeal is extended due to the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide the appeal, the period for making the
decision on the appeal shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. 
 (f) Appeal Decision Notice If Appeal Is Denied. If an appeal of a denied claim is denied, the decision on appeal shall
(i) be set forth in a writing designed to be understood by the claimant, (ii) specify the reasons for the decision and references to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based, and (iii) contain statements that
the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim and, in the event the appeal involves a claim for benefits under the Plan,
of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. The decision on appeal shall generally be furnished to the claimant by the Committee within the applicable appeal period that is described above. 
 (g) Miscellaneous Claims Procedure Rules. If a Participant’s disability is material to an applicable claim appeal,
then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall appoint other persons who are not either members of the Committee or subordinates of any such members to conduct the appeal (and any reference to the Committee in the foregoing paragraphs

  

 24 

 
of this subsection 7.6 that deal with such appeal shall be read to refer to such other appointed persons). Also, a claimant may appoint a representative to
act on his or her behalf in making or pursuing a claim or an appeal of a claim. In addition, the Committee may prescribe additional rules which are consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 7.6 in order to carry out the claim
procedures of this Plan. 
  

	8.	Funding Obligation. 

 8.1 General Rule
for Source of Benefits. Except as is otherwise provided herein, all payments of any benefit provided under the Plan to or on account of a Participant shall be made from the general assets of the Employer which last employed the Participant
as a Key Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, neither the Participant, his or her Beneficiary, nor any other person claiming through the Participant shall have any right or claim to any payment of the benefit to be provided
pursuant to the Plan which in any manner whatsoever is superior to or different from the right or claim of a general and unsecured creditor of such Employer. 
 8.2 “Rabbi” Trust. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 8.1 hereof, Convergys may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a trust (for purposes of this subsection 8.2, the
“Trust”) to which contributions may be made by an Employer in order to fund the Employer’s obligations under the Plan. If, and only if, Convergys exercises its discretion to establish a Trust, the following paragraphs of this
subsection 8.2 shall apply (notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan). 
 (a) Grantor Trust Requirement.
The part of the Trust attributable to any Employer’s contributions to the Trust (for purposes of this subsection 8.2, such Employer’s “Trust account”) shall be a “grantor” trust under the Code, in that such Employer
shall be treated as the grantor of such Employer’s Trust account within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code. 
 (b) Creditors Rights Under Trust When Employer Insolvent. Any Employer’s Trust account shall be subject to the claims
of such Employer’s creditors in the event of such Employer’s insolvency. For purposes hereof, an Employer shall be considered “insolvent” if either (i) such Employer is unable to pay its debts as they become due or
(ii) such Employer is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. 
 (c)
Contributions To Trust. Except as may otherwise be required by the terms of the Trust itself or by the immediately following sentence, an Employer may make contributions to its Trust account for the purposes of meeting its obligations
under the Plan at any time, and in such amounts, as such Employer determines in its discretion. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of a Change in Control (except when such Change in Control is part of a change in an
Employer’s financial health within the meaning of Section 409A(b)(2) of the Code), the Company shall, within five business days after the Change in Control, contribute such amounts as are necessary to cause the full present value of all
benefits that are accrued under the Plan as of the date of the Change in Control to be fully funded under the Trust. 
  

 25 

 (d) Payments From Trust. Any payment otherwise required to be made by an
Employer under the Plan shall be made by such Employer’s Trust account instead of such Employer in the event that such Employer fails to make such payment directly and such Employer’s Trust account then has sufficient assets to make such
payment, provided that such Employer is not then insolvent. If such Employer becomes insolvent, however, then all assets of such Employer’s Trust account shall be held for the benefit of such Employer’s creditors and payments from such
Employer’s Trust account shall cease or not begin, as the case may be. 
 (e) Remaining Liability of
Employer. Unless and except to the extent any payment required to be made pursuant to the Plan by an Employer is made by such Employer’s Trust account, the obligation to make such payment remains exclusively that of such Employer.

 (f) Terms of Trust Incorporated. The terms of the Trust are hereby incorporated by reference into the Plan.
To the extent the terms of the Plan conflict with the terms of the Trust, the terms of the Trust shall control. 
  

	9.	Amendment and Termination of Plan. 

 9.1
Right and Procedure to Terminate Plan. Convergys reserves the right to terminate the Plan in its entirety. 
 (a) Procedure To Terminate Plan. The procedure for Convergys to terminate the Plan in its entirety is as follows. In order to completely terminate the Plan, the Committee shall adopt resolutions, pursuant and subject to the
regulations or by-laws of Convergys and any applicable law, and either at a duly called meeting of the Committee or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting, to terminate the Plan. Such resolutions shall set forth therein the effective date of the
Plan’s termination. 
 (b) Effect of Termination of Plan. In the event the Committee adopts resolutions
completely terminating the Plan, no further benefits may be paid after the effective date of the Plan’s termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan’s termination shall not affect the payment (in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan) of the Plan’s benefits attributable to compensation the deferral of which (i) has already been elected by a Participant or otherwise required under the terms of this Plan, and (ii) cannot still be voided by the
Participant’s election or otherwise under the terms of Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6 of the Treasury Regulations, by the later of the effective date of the Plan’s termination or the date such resolutions terminating the Plan are
adopted. 
 9.2 Amendment of Plan. Subject to the other provisions of this subsection 9.2, Convergys may amend the Plan at any
time and from time to time in any respect; provided that no such amendment shall decrease the benefits attributable to compensation the deferral of which (i) has already been elected by a Participant or otherwise required under the terms of
this Plan, and (ii) cannot still be voided by the Participant’s election or otherwise under the terms of Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6 of the Treasury Regulations, by the later of the effective date of the amendment or the date the
amendment is adopted. 
 (a) Procedure To Amend Plan. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this
subsection 9.2, in order to amend the Plan, the Committee shall adopt resolutions, pursuant and subject to the regulations or by-laws of Convergys and any applicable law, and either at a 

  

 26 

 
duly called meeting of the Committee or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting, to amend the Plan. Such resolutions shall either (i) set forth the
express terms of the Plan amendment or (ii) simply set forth the nature of the amendment and direct an officer of Convergys to have prepared and to sign on behalf of Convergys the formal amendment to the Plan. In the latter case, such officer
shall have prepared and shall sign on behalf of Convergys an amendment to the Plan which is in accordance with such resolutions. 
 (b) Alternative Procedure To Amend Plan. In addition to the procedure for amending the Plan set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection 9.2, the Committee may also adopt resolutions, pursuant and subject to the
regulations or by-laws of Convergys and any applicable law, and either at a duly called meeting of the Committee or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting, to delegate to any officer of Convergys the authority to amend the Plan. 
 (1) Such resolutions may grant the officer broad authority to amend the Plan in any manner the officer deems necessary or advisable or may
limit the scope of amendments he or she may adopt, such as by limiting such amendments to matters related to the administration of the Plan. In the event of any such delegation to amend the Plan, the officer or to whom or which authority is
delegated shall amend the Plan by having prepared and signed on behalf of Convergys an amendment to the Plan which is within the scope of amendments which he or she has authority to adopt. 
 (2) Also, any such delegation to amend the Plan may be terminated at any time by later resolutions adopted by the Committee. 

(3) Finally, in the event of any such delegation to amend the Plan, and even while such delegation remains in effect, the Committee
shall continue to retain its own right to amend the Plan pursuant to the procedure set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection 9.2. 
  

	10.	Miscellaneous. 

 10.1 Board
Authority. Any matter or thing to be done by Convergys by action of the Committee may also or instead be done by the Board. 
 10.2 Non-Alienation of Benefits. 
 (a) General Non-Alienation Rule. Except to the extent
required by applicable law, no Participant or Beneficiary may alienate, commute, anticipate, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right to receive the payments required to be made by the Company hereunder, which payments and the
right to receive them are expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable. In the event of any attempt to alienate, commute, anticipate, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right to receive the payments required to be
made by the Company hereunder, the Company shall have no further obligation to make any payments otherwise required of it hereunder (except to the extent required by applicable law). 
 (b) Exception for Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection 10.2,
any benefit payment otherwise due to a Participant under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee and if it determines such action is required to satisfy applicable law, be made to a person other than the Participant to the extent necessary
to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B) 

  

 27 

 
and Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA). Any such benefit shall be paid to such other person only at the time the benefit would otherwise be paid to the
participant and there shall not be any early payment hereunder. 
 10.3 No Spousal Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
give any spouse or former spouse of a Participant any right to benefits under the Plan of the types described in Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 (relating to qualified preretirement survivor annuities and qualified joint and survivor annuities).

 10.4 Separation From Service. For all purposes of the Plan, a Participant shall be deemed to have separated from service
with the Company on the date he or she dies, retires, or otherwise has a separation from service with the Company’s controlled group. The following subsections of this subsection 10.4 shall apply in determining when a Participant has incurred a
separation from service with the Company’s controlled group. 
 (a) Effect of Leave of Service. The
Participant’s service with the Company’s controlled group shall be treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence where there is a reasonable expectation that the
Participant will return to perform services for the Company’s controlled group (but not beyond the later of the date on which the leave has lasted for six months or the date on which the Participant no longer retains a right of reemployment
with the Company’s controlled group under an applicable statute or by contract). 
 (b) Determination of Separation
From Service. For purposes of the Plan, a separation from service of the Participant with the Company’s controlled group as of any date shall be determined to have occurred when, under all facts and circumstances, either (i) no
further services will be performed by the Participant for the Company’s controlled group after such date or (ii) the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Company’s controlled group after such date (whether
as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) by the Participant for the Company’s
controlled group over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of the Participant’s service for the Company’s controlled group if such period has been less than 36 months). 
 (c) Controlled Group Definition. For purposes of this subsection 10.4, the “Company’s controlled group”
means, collectively, (i) each Employer and (ii) each other corporation or other organization that is deemed to be a single employer with an Employer under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code (i.e., as part of a controlled
group of corporations that includes an Employer or under common control with an Employer), provided that such Code sections will be applied and interpreted by substituting “at least 50 percent” for each reference to “at least 80
percent” that is contained in Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) and in Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations. 
 10.5 No Effect On Employment. The Plan is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of any Key Employee shall not be affected in any way by the Plan except as specifically provided in the Plan. The
establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any Key Employee for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any Employee and to treat him or her 

  

 28 

 
without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant in the Plan. Each Participant (and any Beneficiary of or other
person claiming through the Participant) who may have or claim any right under the Plan shall be bound by the terms of the Plan. 
 10.6
Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed by applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by applicable federal law, the laws of the State of Ohio. 
 10.7 Separability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be
construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. 
 10.8 Headings. Headings used throughout the Plan are for
convenience only and shall not be given legal significance. 
 10.9 Counterparts. The Plan may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. All counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument, which shall be sufficiently evidenced by any one thereof. 
 10.10 Application of Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to satisfy and comply with all of the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code and any Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent. 
 IN ORDER TO EFFECT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PLAN DOCUMENT, Convergys Corporation, the sponsor of the Plan, has caused its name to be subscribed to this Plan document, to be effective as of January 1, 2005.

 NAME AND
PURPOSE OF PLAN 
 1.1 Name. The plan set forth herein shall be known as the Convergys Corporation Retirement and Savings Plan
(the “Plan”). 
 1.2 Purpose. The Plan is designated as a plan intended to qualify as a profit sharing plan under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

provided herein, the terms of the Plan shall govern the investment, withdrawal and distribution of amounts transferred from merged plans. 
 1.3.1 Effective July 14, 2005, the Encore Receivables Management, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“Encore Plan”) was merged into the Plan. The account balances of participants in the Encore Plan who were employed by
a Participating Company as of the effective date of the merger, shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the merger. The employer/matching contribution account of all other participants in the Encore Plan, shall remain subject to the
vesting schedule provided for under the terms of the Encore Plan immediately prior to the merger date. 
 1.3.2 Reserved.

accordance with Section 5.1 of the Plan on the Entry Date on which he satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 4.1 by following enrollment procedures established by the Committee. Each Employee shall automatically become eligible
to receive Employer Contributions under Section 5.2 as of the Entry Date on which he satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements of Section 4.1. Each Participant shall remain a Participant so long as he remains an Employee and until

 SECTION 5 
 CONTRIBUTIONS 
 5.1 Salary
Deferral Contributions. Each Participant may authorize salary deferral contributions, of up to such percentage of his Covered Compensation as may be fixed by the Committee from time to time, pursuant to rules prescribed by the Committee. The
Committee may prescribe a lower percentage applicable to Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees. A Participant may change his authorization for salary deferral contributions from one permissible percentage to another at such times as the

(a) the amount of 

  

 7 

 
Covered Compensation otherwise payable to each Participant on or after January 1, 2007 shall be reduced by the amount of the salary deferral
contributions authorized by the Participant with respect to such Covered Compensation and (b) the Participating Companies shall contribute to the Plan, for each such Participant, an amount equal to the amount by which his Covered Compensation
has been reduced. Salary deferral contributions under this Section 5.1 shall be made in cash. In no event shall a Participating Company deliver salary deferral contributions to the Trustee on behalf of an eligible Participant prior to the date
the Participant performs the services with respect to which the contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions. 
 5.2 Employer Contributions. The Participating Companies shall contribute to the Plan for each eligible Participant who (a) has satisfied the
eligibility requirements for Employer Contributions under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and (b) who authorized salary deferral contributions under Section 5.1 for a pay period, an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the first three percent of
Covered Compensation with respect to which salary deferral contributions were authorized for the pay period and 50% of the next 2% of Covered Compensation with respect to which salary deferral contributions were authorized for the pay period. The
Participating Companies’ contributions under this Section 5.2 may be made in cash or Convergys Shares. In no event shall a Participating Company deliver Employer Contributions to the Trustee on behalf of an eligible Participant prior to
the date the Participant performs the services with respect to which the contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions.

 5.3 Rollover Contributions. Subject to the approval of the Committee, a Covered Employee may rollover or have directly transferred
to the Trust an eligible rollover distribution from one or more other retirement plans or conduit individual retirement accounts as specified in this Section 5.3. After-tax employee contributions and Roth 401(k) contributions may not be rolled
over to the Plan. Any rollover contribution must be made in cash or Convergys Shares. A Covered Employee who makes a rollover contribution under this Section 5.3 prior to becoming a Participant shall thereupon become a Participant, provided
that such Participant may not authorize contributions under Section 5.1 or share in Employer Contributions under Section 5.2 prior to the date on which his participation otherwise could have commenced respectively for those purposes under
Section 4.1 and 4.2. 
 5.3.1 The Plan will accept, subject to the approval of the Committee, a direct rollover of an
eligible rollover distribution from: 
  

	 	(a)	A qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, excluding after-tax employee contributions and excluding Roth 401(k) contributions.

5.4 Mistake of Fact; Disallowance of Deduction. Any contribution made by a Participating Company by reason of a mistake of fact or conditioned
on its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code, to the extent disallowed, shall be repaid to the Participating Company, at the Participating Company’s election, provided that such repayment is made within one year after the mistaken
payment of the contribution or within one year of the disallowance of the deduction. Earnings attributable to such contributions may not be paid to the Participating Company, but any losses attributable thereto shall reduce the amount which may be
repaid. All Participating Company contributions shall be conditioned on their deductibility under Section 404 of the Code. 
 5.5
Application of Forfeitures. Any forfeitures arising under the Plan in any Plan Year shall be applied first, to make any restorals called for under Section 8.5 and second, to reduce the contributions otherwise required of the

Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of

to Section 5.2.

 SECTION 6 
 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 
 6.1 Section 404 Limitations. In no
event shall the Participating Companies’ contributions to the Plan for any Plan Year under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 exceed the limitation described in Section 404 of the Code. If the Companies’ total contributions for any Plan Year could
exceed the limitation described in the preceding sentence, the following adjustments shall be made in the following order so that such limitations are not exceeded: first, the amounts to be contributed under Section 5.2 shall be reduced
proportionately; and, second, the amounts to be contributed under Section 5.1 shall be reduced proportionately. 
 6.2
Section 401(k) Limitations. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.9, if for any Plan Year the Participating Companies’ contributions under Section 5.1 on behalf of those Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees
exceed both the limitation contained in Section 6.2.1 and the limitation contained in Section 6.2.2, the contributions of such Participants as determined hereunder (together with the earnings thereon, as determined under Treas. Reg.
Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv) for the Plan Year and the “gap period”) shall be distributed to such Participants prior to the end of the following Plan Year, provided, however, the income or loss for the “gap period” may be
determined as of a date that is no more than 7 days before the date of distribution. For purposes of this Section 6.2, “gap period” means the period between the close of the Plan Year in which “Excess Contributions” were
made and the date the contributions are distributed. 
 6.2.1 The Average Deferral Percentage for those Eligible Employees who
are Highly Compensated Employees must not be more than the Average Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25. 
 6.2.2 The excess of the Average Deferral Percentage for those Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees over the Average Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees must not be more than two
percentage points and the Average Deferral Percentage for those Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees must not be more than the Average Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by two. 
 In the event the foregoing limitations are exceeded in any Plan Year, the dollar amount of the excess shall be determined by reducing the dollar amount
of the contributions included in determining the Average Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Individual Deferral Percentages as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The highest Individual Deferral Percentage shall be reduced to the greater of (1) the maximum Individual Deferral Percentage that satisfies the limitation on contributions made
under Section 5.1 described in this Section 6.2 or (2) the next highest Individual Deferral Percentage. 

  

	 	(b)	 If the limitation on contributions made under Section 5.1 described in this Section 6.2 would still be exceeded after application of the provisions of
paragraph (a), 

  

 10 

	 	 
the Individual Deferral Percentages of Highly Compensated Employees shall continue to be reduced, continuing with the next highest Individual Deferral
Percentage in the manner provided in paragraph (a) until the limitation on contributions made under Section 5.1 described in this Section 6.2 is satisfied. 

 After determining the dollar amount of the excess pursuant to the foregoing provisions, such excess shall be allocated among Highly Compensated Employees
in order of the dollar amount of the contributions made under Section 5.1 as follows: 
  

	 	(c)	The salary deferral contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest dollar amount of salary deferral contributions allocated to his Salary
Deferral Account for the Plan Year shall be reduced by the dollar amount of the excess (with such dollar amount being allocated equally among all such Highly Compensated Employee(s)), but not below the dollar amount of such contributions made on
behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions allocated to his Salary Deferral Account for the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(d)	If the excess has not been fully allocated after application of the provisions of paragraph (c), the contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employee(s) shall continue to
be reduced, continuing with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest remaining dollar amount of such contributions allocated to their Salary Deferral Accounts for the Plan Year, in the manner provided in paragraph (c) until the
entire excess determined above has been allocated. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Convergys, in lieu of
making distributions of excess contributions to those Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees, the Participating Companies may make a qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan for the Plan Year in an amount sufficient to satisfy the
limitations of Sections 6.2.1 or 6.2.2. Any discretionary qualified nonelective contribution made by a Participating Company for the Plan Year shall be allocated among its Participants during the contribution period who are not Highly Compensated
Employees. The allocable share of each such Participant in the qualified nonelective contribution shall be in the ratio which his Compensation from the Participating Company for the contribution period bears to the aggregate of such Compensation for
all such Participants. 
 For purposes of the Plan, (a) the “Average Deferral Percentage” for a specified group of Eligible
Employees shall be the average of such Eligible Employees’ Individual Deferral Percentages and (b) “Individual Deferral Percentage” means, with respect to any Eligible Employee for the Plan Year, the ratio of the salary deferral
contributions paid to the Plan for the Eligible Employee under Section 5.1 for the Plan Year to the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year. For purposes of determining the Individual Deferral Percentage of an Eligible Employee
who is a Highly Compensated Employee, salary deferral contributions and qualified nonelective contributions (to the extent after-tax contributions or qualified nonelective contributions are taken into account in determining the Average Deferral
Percentage) made to his accounts under this Plan and all other 401(k) plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer in 

  

 11 

 
which the Eligible Employee is eligible to participate that are not manditorily disaggregated pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.410(b)-7(c), as modified
by Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4) (without regard to the prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(iii)(B) and the prohibition on aggregating plans with
different plan years contained in Treas. Reg. Section 1.410(b)-7(d)(5)), shall be treated as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different from the Plan Year, any such
contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee’s account under the other plan during the Plan Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan. If one or more plans of a Participating Company or Affiliated Employer
are aggregated with the Plan for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code, then the Individual Deferral Percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and such one or more other plans
were a single plan. Pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(v), the Committee may elect to calculate the Individual Deferral Percentages aggregating employee stock ownership plans and other plans. In addition, the Committee may elect
to calculate Individual Deferral Percentages aggregating bargained plans maintained for different bargaining units, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from year to year. Plans may be aggregated
under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and utilize the same testing method to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. 
 If the Plan applies Section 410(b)(4)(B) of the Code in determining whether the cash or deferred arrangement under the Plan meets the requirements of Section 410(b)(1) of the Code, the Committee may apply
the limitations on salary deferral contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in this Article VI either by (i) comparing the Average Deferral Percentage of all Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to
the Average Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year of those Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Section 410(a)(1) of the Code or (ii) separately with
respect to Participants who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Section 410(a)(1) of the Code and Participants who have satisfied such minimum age and service requirements. 
 6.3 Section 401(m) Limitations. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.9, if for any Plan Year the total contributions under
Section 5.2 made on behalf of those Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceed both the limitation contained in Section 6.3.1 and the limitation contained in Section 6.3.2, the excess contributions of such Participants
as determined hereunder (together with the earnings thereon, as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv) for the Plan Year and the “gap period”) shall be distributed to such Participants prior to the end of the
following Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 6.3, “gap period” means the period between the close of the Plan Year in which such contributions were made and the date that is no more than 7 days before the date the contributions
are distributed pursuant to this Section 6.3. 
 6.3.1 The Average Contribution Percentage for those Eligible Employees
who are Highly Compensated Employees must be not more than the Average Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25. 
  

 12 

 6.3.2 The excess of the Average Contribution Percentage for those Eligible Employees who
are Highly Compensated Employees over the Average Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees must not be more than two percentage points and the Average Contribution Percentage for those Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated
Employees must not be more than the Average Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by two. 
 In the event the
foregoing limitations are exceeded in any Plan Year, the dollar amount of the excess shall be determined by reducing the dollar amount of the contributions included in determining the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees
in order of their Individual Contribution Percentages as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The highest Individual Contribution Percentage shall be reduced to the greater of (1) the maximum Individual Contribution Percentage that satisfies the limitation on
contributions made under Section 5.2 described in this Section 6.3 or (2) the next highest Individual Contribution Percentage. 

  

	 	(b)	If the limitation on contributions made under Section 5.2 described in this Section 6.3 would still be exceeded after application of the provisions of paragraph (a), the
Individual Contribution Percentages of Highly Compensated Employees shall continue to be reduced, continuing with the next highest Individual Contribution Percentage in the manner provided in paragraph (a) until the limitation on contributions
made under Section 5.2 described in this Section 6.3 is satisfied. 

 After determining the dollar amount of the
excess pursuant to the foregoing provisions, such excess shall be allocated among Highly Compensated Employees in order of the dollar amount of the contributions made under Section 5.2 as follows: 
  

	 	(c)	The employer contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest dollar amount of employer contributions allocated to his Employer Contribution
Account for the Plan Year shall be reduced by the dollar amount of the excess (with such dollar amount being allocated equally among all such Highly Compensated Employee(s)), but not below the dollar amount of such contributions made on behalf of
the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions allocated to his Employer Contribution Account for the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(d)	If the excess has not been fully allocated after application of the provisions of paragraph (c), the contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employee(s) shall continue to
be reduced, continuing with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest remaining dollar amount of such contributions allocated to their Employer Contribution Accounts for the Plan Year, in the manner provided in paragraph (c) until the
entire excess determined above has been allocated. 

  

 13 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Convergys, in lieu of making distributions to those
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees, the Participating Companies may make a qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan for the Plan Year in an amount sufficient to satisfy the limitations of Sections 6.3.1 or 6.3.2. Any qualified
nonelective contribution made by a Participating Company for the Plan Year shall be allocated among the Employer Contribution Accounts of those Participants who were not Highly Compensated Employees during the contribution period. The allocable
share of each such Participant in the qualified nonelective contribution shall be in the ratio which his Compensation from the Participating Company for the contribution period bears to the aggregate of such Compensation for all such Participants.
That portion of any Employer Contribution Account which is attributable to the qualified nonelective contributions made hereunder shall at all times be fully vested and non-forfeitable. 
 For purposes of the Plan, (a) the “Average Contribution Percentage” for a specified group of Eligible Employees shall be the average of
such Eligible Employees’ Individual Contribution Percentages and (b) “Individual Contribution Percentage” means, with respect to any Eligible Employee for the Plan Year, the ratio of the contributions paid to the Plan for the
Eligible Employee under Section 5.2 for the Plan Year to the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year. For purposes of determining the Average Contribution Percentages of an Eligible Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee
for a Plan Year, employer contributions, after-tax contributions and qualified nonelective contributions (to the extent after-tax contributions or qualified nonelective contributions are taken into account in determining the Average Contribution
Percentage) made to his accounts under this Plan and all other 401(k) plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer in which the Eligible Employee is eligible to participate that are not manditorily disaggregated pursuant to Treas. Reg.
Section 1.410(b)-7(c), as modified by Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4) (without regard to the prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4)(iii)(B) and the
prohibition on aggregating plans with different plan years contained in Treas. Reg. Section 1.410(b)-7(d)(5)), shall be treated as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different
from the Plan Year, any such contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee’s account under the other plan during the Plan Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan. If one or more plans of a Participating
Company or Affiliated Employer are aggregated with the Plan for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code, then the Individual Contribution Percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and
such one or more other plans were a single plan. Pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4)(v), the Committee may elect to calculate the Individual Contribution Percentages aggregating employee stock ownership plans and other plans. In
addition, the Committee may elect to calculate Individual Contribution Percentages aggregating bargained plans maintained for different bargaining units, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from
year to year. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and utilize the same testing method to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code. 
 Employer Contributions made under Section 5.2 in excess of 100% of the salary deferral contributions of an Eligible Employee who is not a Highly
Compensated Employee for a Plan Year shall not be used in computing such Eligible Employee’s Individual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year to the extent that such matching contributions exceed the greater of (i) 5% of the Eligible
Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year or (ii) the product of 2 times 

  

 14 

 
the Plan’s “representative match rate” multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s salary deferral contributions for the Plan Year. For
purposes hereof, the Plan’s “representative match rate” is the lowest “match rate” of any Eligible Employee who is a not a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year in either (i) the group consisting of half of all
Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or (ii) the group of all Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year and who are employed by a Participating Company or an
Affiliated Employer on the last day of the Plan Year and who make salary deferral contributions for the Plan Year, whichever results in the greater amount. An Eligible Employee’s “match rate” means the matching contributions made on
behalf of the Eligible Employee for the Plan Year divided by the Eligible Employee’s salary deferral contributions for the Plan Year. 
 If the Plan applies Section 410(b)(4)(B) of the Code in determining whether the portion of the Plan subject to Section 401(m) of the Code meets the requirements of Section 410(b)(1) of the Code, the Committee may apply the
limitations on matching contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in this Article VI either by (i) comparing the Average Contribution Percentage of all Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to the
Average Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year of those Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Section 410(a)(1) of the Code or (ii) separately with
respect to Participants who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Section 410(a)(1) of the Code and Participants who have satisfied such minimum age and service requirements. 
 6.4 Maximum Annual Additions. The total Annual Additions allocable to a Participant’s Plan Accounts for any Plan Year shall be limited in
accordance with the following provisions: 
 6.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no
event shall a Participant’s Annual Additions for any Plan Year exceed the lesser of (a) $40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Code or (b) 100 percent of the Participant’s
compensation, within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, for the Plan Year. The compensation limit referred to in subclause (b) above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within
the meaning of Section 401(h) of the Code or 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition. 
 6.4.2 If for any Plan Year beginning prior to July 1, 2007, as a result of reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s Compensation or other facts and circumstances approved by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a
Participant’s Annual Additions could exceed the limitations set forth in Section 6.4.1, the following adjustments shall be made in the following order to the extent necessary to insure such limitations will not be exceeded: first, the
Participating Companies’ contributions for the Plan Year on behalf of the Participant under Section 5.2 shall be allocated to a suspense account under Section 6.4.3; and second, the Participating Companies’ contributions for the
Plan Year on behalf of the Participant under Section 5.1 shall be allocated to a suspense account under Section 6.4.3 
  

 15 

 6.4.3 That portion of the Participating Companies’ contributions for a Plan Year
which is allocated to a suspense account under Section 6.4.2 shall be applied to reduce the contributions otherwise required of the Participating Companies in the first Plan Year in which they can be applied without exceeding the limitations of
Section 6.4.1. The suspense account shall not share in the income, expenses, profits or losses of the Trust. The Participating Companies shall not contribute any amount to the Trust which results in additional amounts being credited to the
suspense account. If the Plan is terminated, any amount credited to the suspense account which cannot be allocated to the Participants’ Plan Accounts shall be paid to the Participating Companies. 
 6.4.4 For purposes hereof, “Annual Additions” means, with respect to any Participant, the sum of all Participating Company and
Participant contributions (other than rollover contributions) and forfeitures allocated to his accounts for a Plan Year under this Plan and all other defined contribution plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer. If a Participant in this Plan is
a participant in one or more other defined contribution plans, the limitations contained in this Section 6.4 shall be applied to reduce the annual additions which otherwise would have been credited to his accounts in this Plan and such other
plans, beginning with the most current annual additions. 
 6.5 Highly Compensated Employee. For purposes of the Plan, “Highly
Compensated Employee” means an Employee (a) who, during the Plan Year for which the determination is being made or the preceding Plan Year, was at any time a 5 percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) of any
Affiliated Employer; or (b) who, during the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the determination is being made, received Compensation in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 414(q)(1) of the Code). For purposes of
this Section 6.5, a former Employee shall be deemed to be a Highly Compensated Employee with respect to a Plan Year if such former Employee separated from service (or was deemed to have separated) prior to the Plan Year, performed no services
for an Affiliated Employer during the Plan Year and was a Highly Compensated Employee actively employed by an Affiliated Employer for either the Plan Year in which he separated or any Plan Year ending on or after the Employee’s 55th birthday.

 6.6 Compensation. For purposes of this Section 6 “Compensation” means an Employee’s earned income, wages,
salaries, and fees for professional services and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with an Affiliated Employer (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation for
services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips and bonuses), but excluding the following: (a) contributions by an Affiliated Employer to a plan of deferred compensation which are not includable in the
Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed, or contributions by an Affiliated Employer under a simplified employee pension plan to the extent such contributions are deductible by the Employee, or any distributions from a
plan of deferred compensation; (b) amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk
of forfeiture; (c) amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and (d) other amounts which received special tax benefits. 
  

 16 

 6.6.1 For purposes of Sections 6.1 and 6.4, an Employee’s Compensation for a Plan
Year is the Compensation actually paid or includable in gross income during such Plan Year. 
 6.6.2 For purposes of this
Section 6, an Employee’s Compensation for a Plan Year is the Compensation actually paid or includable in gross income during such Plan Year plus the Compensation which would have been paid or includable in gross income during such Plan
Year but for Sections 125, 132, 402(a)(8) and 402(h)(1)(B) of the Code. 
 6.6.3 For purposes of the Plan, an Employee’s
Compensation (and, for limitation periods beginning after July 1, 2007, “compensation” under Section 6.4.1) that is taken into account for any Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000 as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in
accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to the Employee’s Compensation (and, for limitation periods beginning after July 1, 2007, “compensation”
under Section 6.4.1) for the Plan Year that begins with or within such calendar year. 
 6.6.4 For purposes of applying
the limitations contained in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, an Employee’s Compensation shall not include amounts paid prior to the date on which he first becomes a Participant. 
 6.7 Section 402(g) Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event shall the amount of a Participant’s Elective
Deferrals during any Plan Year under this Plan and all other plans, contracts or arrangements maintained by any Affiliated Employer exceed the amount of the limitation in effect under Section 402(g)(1) of the Code for such Plan Year. If a
Participant has Excess Deferrals for any Plan Year, and if the Participant so elects, the Excess Deferrals (plus any earnings and minus any losses allocable thereto) shall be distributed to the Participant from his Salary Deferral Account no later
than April 15 following the Plan Year for which the Excess Deferrals were made. Any election under this Section 6.7 shall be in writing, shall be filed with the Committee no later than March 1 following the Plan Year for which the
Excess Deferrals were made, shall specify the amount of the Excess Deferrals for the Plan Year and shall include the Participant’s statement that if such Excess Deferrals are not distributed, the sum of the Excess Deferrals plus amounts
deferred by the Participant for the Plan Year under Sections 401(k), 408(k) and 403(b) of the Code will exceed the limits imposed by Section 402(g) of the Code. For purposes of the Plan (a) “Elective Deferrals” means the amounts
deferred by the Participant for the Plan Year under Sections 401(k), 408(k) and 403(b) of the Code, and (b) “Excess Deferrals” means that portion of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a Plan Year in excess of the limits
imposed by Section 402(g) of the Code. 
 If the salary deferral contributions made on behalf of a Participant under Section 5.1
would exceed the Section 402(g) of the Code limit for the calendar year, the salary deferral contributions for such Participant shall be automatically suspended for the remainder, if any, of the calendar year. If the salary deferral
contributions made under Section 5.1 by a Participant nevertheless exceed the Section 402(g) of the Code limit for the calendar year, the salary deferral contributions that exceed the Section 402(g) of the Code limit (plus any income
and minus any losses thereto) shall be distributed to the Participant no later than the April 15th immediately following such calendar year. Any salary deferral contributions that are distributed to a 

  

 17 

 
Participant in accordance with this Section shall not be taken into account in determining the Participant’s Average Deferral Percentage for the Plan
Year in which the salary deferral contributions were made, unless the participant is a Highly Compensated Employee. 
 If an amount of salary
deferral contributions is distributed to a Participant in accordance with this paragraph, contributions made under Section 5.2 that are attributable to the distributed salary deferral contributions (plus any income and minus any losses
allocable thereto) shall be forfeited. 
 6.8 Eligible Employee. For purposes of Sections 6.2 and 6.3, “Eligible Employee”
means, with respect to any Plan Year, a Covered Employee who is eligible to authorize salary deferral contributions under Section 5.1 during the Plan Year. 
 6.9 Safe Harbor. Until amended to provide otherwise, the Employer Contributions required under Section 5.2 and the notice requirement described in this Section 6.9 shall satisfy the “safe
harbor” described in Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and the Plan shall be deemed to have satisfied the limitations on salary deferral contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Section 6.2 and the limitations on
employer contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Section 6.3. 
 The Employer shall provide each eligible employee
with a notice describing (i) the formula used for determining safe harbor matching contributions; (ii) any other employer contributions available under the Plan and the requirements that must be satisfied to receive an allocation of such
employer contributions; (iii) the type and amount of compensation that may be deferred under the Plan as salary deferral contributions; (iv) how to make a cash or deferred election under the Plan and the periods in which such elections may
be made or changed; (v) the withdrawal and vesting provisions applicable to contributions under the Plan; and (vi) information that makes it easy to obtain additional information about the Plan. The descriptions requirement in items
(ii) through (iv) may be provided by cross references to the relevant section(s) of an up to date summary plan description. 
 The
notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average eligible employee. Such notice shall be provided within a reasonable period before the beginning of the Plan Year (or, in the year an eligible employee becomes eligible,
within a reasonable period before the employee becomes eligible) with the following periods whichever is applicable, deemed to be reasonable: 
  

	 	(a)	for an employee who is an eligible employee at least 90 days before the beginning of the Plan Year, within the period beginning 90 days and ending 30 days before the beginning of
the Plan Year, or 

  

	 	(b)	for any employee who becomes an eligible employee after that date, within the period beginning 90 days before the date he becomes an eligible employee and ending on the date such
employee becomes an eligible employee. 

  

 18 

 The Plan shall not fail to satisfy the safe harbor testing rules for a Plan Year if for such Plan Year a
Participating Company or an Affiliated Employer maintains a plan under which matching contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees are made at a rate greater than the rate provided under the Plan. However, the Plan shall not be deemed to
have satisfied the limitations on salary deferral contributions of Highly Compensated Employees under Section 6.2 of the Plan for any Plan Year unless the ratio of matching contributions made with respect to the salary deferral contributions
under the Plan of each Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year to each such Highly Compensated Employee’s salary deferral contributions under the Plan for the Plan Year is not greater than the ratio of matching contributions made with
respect to salary deferral contributions under the Plan of each non-Highly Compensated Employee who has made salary deferral contributions under the Plan for the Plan Year at the same percentage of Compensation for the Plan Year as such Highly
Compensated Employee to each such non-Highly Compensated Employee’s salary deferral contributions under the Plan. 
 The ADP testing
provisions contained in Section 6.2 of the Plan shall be applicable for any Plan Year in which the notice requirements described in Section 401(k)(12)(D) of the Code are not satisfied and the Plan therefore does not satisfy
Section 401(k)(12) of the Code. However, such provisions shall not relieve a Participating Company from its obligation to make the safe harbor matching contributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan (which terms may be amended in
accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-3(g)). 
 6.10 Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code. 
 SECTION 7 
 ACCOUNTS 
 7.1 Salary Deferral Accounts. A separate bookkeeping Salary Deferral Account shall be established and maintained for each Participant which shall
reflect the salary deferral contributions properly allocable to the Participant under the Plan and the investment thereof. The salary deferral contributions paid to the Trustee on behalf of a Participant shall be allocated to the Participant’s
Salary Deferral Account as soon as administratively practicable following the date they are received by the Trustee. Each Participant’s Salary Deferral Account shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. Amounts allocated to a
Participant’s Salary Deferral Account shall be invested among such types of investments as may be permitted by the Committee in accordance with the investment election(s) made by the Participant. 
 7.2 Employer Contribution Accounts. A separate bookkeeping Employer Contribution Account shall be established and maintained for each Participant
which shall reflect the Participating Company contributions properly allocable to the Participant under the Plan and the investment thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Participant’s Employer Contribution Account shall at all
times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Employer Contribution Account shall be invested, prior to February 1, 2007, in Convergys Shares, and, on or after February 1, 2007, among such types of
investments as may be permitted by the Committee in accordance with the investment election(s) made by the Participant. 
  

 19 

 7.3 Rollover Accounts. A separate bookkeeping Rollover Account shall be established and maintained
for each Participant who makes rollover contributions which shall reflect such contributions and the investment thereof. Each Participant’s rollover contributions to the Trust shall be allocated to his Rollover Account as soon as
administratively practicable following the date they are received by the Trustee. Each Participant’s Rollover Account shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Rollover Account shall be
invested in such types of investments as may be permitted by the Committee in accordance with the investment election(s) made by the Participant. 
 7.4 Voluntary Contribution Accounts. A separate bookkeeping Voluntary Contribution Account shall be established and maintained for each Participant which shall reflect the voluntary post-tax contributions made by the Participant
under the Plan prior to January 1, 1999 and the investment thereof. Each Participant’s Voluntary Contribution Account shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Voluntary Contribution
Account shall be invested in such types of investments as may be permitted by the Committee in accordance with the investment election(s) made by the Participant. 
 7.5 Voting Convergys Shares. Before each annual or special meeting of the shareholders of Convergys, the Trustee shall cause to be sent to each Participant a copy of the proxy solicitation material therefore,
together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the number of Convergys Shares credited to the Participant’s Plan Accounts. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall vote the Convergys Shares
as instructed. Instructions received by the Trustee from individual Participants shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall not be divulged or revealed to any person, including officers or employees of any Affiliated Employer. The Trustee
shall vote any Convergys Shares for which voting instructions have not been received in the proportions that it votes the Convergys Shares for which voting instructions have been received. 
 7.6 Valuations and Adjustments. The Trustee shall value the Trust assets at their fair market value as of each Valuation Date. Based upon the
results of such valuation, each outstanding Plan Account shall be adjusted to reflect the increase or decrease thereof, and any applicable contributions, withdrawals, distributions or forfeitures, since the preceding Valuation Date. 
 7.7 Consolidation of Plan Accounts. Except to the extent necessary to accurately reflect the withdrawal, distribution and investment rights and
vested status of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, the Committee may consolidate two or more of a Participant’s Plan Accounts or portions thereof. 
 SECTION 8 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
 8.1 General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8 and Section 9, no amount shall be distributed or withdrawn with respect to a
Participant’s Plan Accounts while he remains an Employee. 
  

 20 

 8.2 Normal Retirement. If a Participant is employed as an Employee on or after his Normal
Retirement Date, his Plan Accounts shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee on or after his Normal Retirement Date for any reason other than his death, the Participant’s Plan Accounts may be
distributed to him as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which he ceases to be an Employee. 
 8.3 Disability
Retirement. A Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable if he ceases to be an Employee prior to his Normal Retirement Date by reason of a Total Disability. Subject to Section 8.7, if a Participant ceases to
be an Employee prior to his Normal Retirement Date by reason of a Total Disability, the Participant’s Plan Accounts may be distributed to him as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Participant ceases to be an
Employee. 
 8.4 Death During Employment. A Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable if he dies while
an Employee. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee by reason of his death, the Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in one lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the
Participant’s death occurs. 
 8.5 Other Terminations. Subject to Section 8.6, if a Participant ceases to be an Employee for
any reason other than his death or Total Disability, the vested portion of his Plan Accounts may be distributed to him, and the forfeitable portions of his Plan Accounts, if any, forfeited as soon as administratively practicable following the date
on which he ceases to be an Employee. 
 8.5.1 If distribution of the vested portion of the Participant’s Plan Accounts
is deferred under Section 8.6, the forfeitable portions of his Plan Accounts shall not be forfeited until the earlier of (1) the date on which the vested portion of his Plan Accounts is distributed and (b) the date on which he incurs
a five year Break in Service (from the date on which he ceased to be an Employee). 
 8.5.2 The amount forfeited with respect
to his Plan Accounts shall be restored if the Participant is reemployed as a Covered Employee prior to incurring a Five Year Break in Service (from the date on which he ceased to be an Employee) and if he repays to the Trust the amounts previously
distributed to him from his Plan Accounts, provided that such repayment must be made before the Participant incurs a Five Year Break in Service (from the date on which such forfeiture occurred). 
 8.5.3 Restorals under this Section 8.5 shall be made first from any forfeitures arising in the Plan Year in which the restoral is
made and second from additional Company contributions. Amounts repaid or restored to the Plan shall be credited to new Plan Accounts, in the name of the Participant, of the same types as the Plan Accounts from which distributions and forfeitures
were made. 
  

 21 

 8.6 Deferred Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if the
value of the vested portion of a Participant’s Plan Accounts is in excess of $5,000, distribution of such vested portion shall not be made before the Participant attains age 70 1/2 without the Participant’s consent. 
 8.6.1 If the Participant dies after ceasing to be an Employee but prior to the date on which the vested portion of his Plan Accounts has
been distributed, the vested portion of his Plan Accounts shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in one lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Participant’s death occurs. 
 8.6.2 If a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30
days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that: (a) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days
after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular option), and (b) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 
 8.6.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan hereof, if the value of the vested portion of a Participant’s Plan Accounts
does not exceed $5,000, distribution of such vested portion shall be made to the Participant, in a single sum payment or through a direct rollover, as described in Section 8.11, as soon as administratively practicable following the date on
which he ceases to be an Employee. A Participant’s Rollover Account shall be excluded in determining whether the vested portion of a Participant’s Plan Accounts exceeds $5,000. In the event of a distribution greater than $1,000 under this
Section 8.6.3, if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan (as defined in Section 8.11) specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly,
as described in this Section 8, then the Committee shall pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee. The Participant’s Rollover Account in any event shall be considered in
determining whether a distribution exceeds $1,000. This paragraph shall not apply to the Participant’s surviving spouse or to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, nor to an eligible rollover distribution in the form of
a plan loan offset amount. 
 8.7 Reemployment. If a Participant who ceased to be an Employee is reemployed as an Employee prior to
the date as of which his Plan Accounts are to be distributed or forfeited, his Plan Accounts shall not be distributed or forfeited by reason of such cessation of employment. 
 8.8 Form of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distribution shall be made in one single sum payment (and may be made through
a direct rollover, as described in Section 8.11). To the extent that a Plan Account is invested in investments other than Convergys Shares or CBI Shares, distributions from that portion of the Plan Account shall be in cash. To the extent that a
Plan Account is invested in Convergys Shares or CBI Shares, distributions with respect to that portion of the Plan Account shall be in Convergys Shares or CBI Shares, as the case may be, or if the recipient so elects, in cash. 
 8.9 Alternate Payees. In the case of a person who is determined by the Committee to be an alternate payee (within the meaning of
Section 414(p)(8) of the Code) with respect to the vested portion of one or more of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, unless the qualified domestic 

  

 22 

 
relations order applicable to the Participant’s Plan Accounts otherwise provides, the alternate payee may elect, with respect to the alternate
payee’s interest in the vested portion of the Participant’s Plan Accounts, to have such interest distributed to the alternate payee in one lump sum as soon as practical after the alternate payee is determined to be an alternate payee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the alternate payee’s interest in the Participant’s Plan Accounts is not in excess of $5,000, the vested portion of such interest shall be distributed to the alternate payee as soon as
practicable after the alternate payee is determined to be an alternate payee. 
 8.10 Distribution Requirements. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, distribution from a Participant’s Plan Account shall commence to the Participant in accordance with Section 17. 
 8.11 Direct Rollovers. Any Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to receive a distribution from the Plan in the form of an eligible rollover distribution may elect to have part or all of such distribution
paid directly to an eligible retirement plan. Any election under this Section 8.11 shall be made on forms furnished and in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount which a Participant or
Beneficiary may elect to have paid to an eligible retirement plan is (a) $200.00, if the entire eligible rollover distribution is being paid to the eligible retirement plan or (b) $500.00, if less than the entire eligible rollover
distribution is being paid to the eligible retirement plan. For purposes of this Section 8.11, “eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that
an eligible rollover distribution does not include: (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (2) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; (3) the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and (4) any
distribution on account of hardship. If the Plan includes assets attributable to after-tax contributions, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an “eligible rollover distribution” merely because the portion consists of after-tax
contributions that are not includable in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan
described in Section 401(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includable in gross income and the portion of such distribution
which is not so includable. For purposes of this Section 8.11, “eligible retirement plan” means an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state or political subdivision of a state, or any agency or
instrumentality of the state or political subdivisions of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code the terms of which permit
the acceptance of the eligible rollover distribution, or an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code. An “eligible retirement plan” as described is also applicable in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to
the surviving spouse.

 8.12 Missing Participants. If a Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to receive a
distribution under the Plan cannot be located within six months, after such investigation as the Committee deems appropriate, the amount otherwise distributable to such Participant or Beneficiary shall thereupon be forfeited; provided that if such
Participant or Beneficiary thereafter makes a claim for the amount forfeited hereunder, the amount so forfeited (unadjusted for any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the date of the forfeiture) shall be restored to the Trust through additional
Participating Company contributions and paid to the Participant or Beneficiary. 
 SECTION 9 
 WITHDRAWALS DURING EMPLOYMENT; LOANS; TRANSFERS 
 9.1 Withdrawals After Normal Retirement Date. Subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe, a Participant who is an Employee may elect to withdraw from his Plan Accounts, on or after his Normal
Retirement Date, any amount he may designate. No Participant may elect to make more than two withdrawals in any Plan Year. All withdrawals shall be in cash. 
 9.2 Withdrawals Prior to Normal Retirement Date. Subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe, a Participant who is an Employee may elect to make withdrawals from his Plan Accounts prior to his Normal
Retirement Date in accordance with this Section 9.2. 
 9.2.1 A Participant whose Plan Accounts include amounts
attributable to rollover contributions or voluntary post-tax contributions may elect to withdraw any portion of such amounts. 
 9.2.2 A Participant whose Plan Accounts include amounts attributable to salary deferral contributions under Section 401(k) of the Code may elect to withdraw any portion of such amounts (other than income earned on such contributions
after December 31, 1988); provided, however, that (a) he may not elect to make a withdrawal from his Salary Deferral Account unless he demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Committee that such withdrawal is necessary to alleviate a
Hardship and (b) he may not elect to withdraw from his Salary Deferral Account more than the amount needed to alleviate the Hardship. For purposes hereof, “Hardship” means an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant or
his dependents because of sickness, disability, or other financial emergency, but only to the extent consistent with Section 401(k) of the Code and any regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury thereunder. The determination of whether
a Participant has incurred a “Hardship” shall be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. A financial need shall not fail to qualify merely because it was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred. A distribution for
any of the following needs shall be deemed to be made on account of Hardship: (a) medical expenses deductible under Section 213(d) of the Code (determined without regard to whether such expenses exceed any applicable income limit) incurred
by the Participant, the Participant’s 

  

 24 

 
spouse or any dependent of the Participant (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof),
(b) purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence of the Participant, (c) payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant,
his or her spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof), (d) the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or
foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence, (e) payment of funeral or burial expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, child, or dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without
regard to subsection (d)(1)(B) thereof), (f) payment of expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without
regard to whether the loss exceeds any applicable income limit) or such other circumstances that, in the judgment of the Committee, constitute financial hardship as defined in the Code or regulations issued thereunder. In the event of a withdrawal
from the Participant’s Plan Accounts under this Section 9.2.2., the Participant’s elective contributions and employee contributions (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iv)) to the Plan and all other plans
maintained by any Affiliated Employer shall be suspended for six months after the withdrawal. 
 9.2.3 A Participant whose
Plan Accounts include employer matching contributions transferred from the Cincinnati Bell Inc. Retirement Savings Plan or the Cincinnati Bell Inc. Savings and Security Plan may withdraw any non-forfeitable portion of such contributions (and the
earnings thereon). 
 9.2.4 No Participant may elect to make more than two withdrawals in any Plan Year. All withdrawals shall
be in cash. 
 9.2.5 Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, amounts attributable to Employer
Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.2 on or after January 1, 2002 may not be withdrawn by a Participant prior to the earlier of (i) his death, (ii) his Normal Retirement Date or (iii) the date he ceases to be an
Employee. 
 9.3 Loans. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 and to such other uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as
may be adopted by the Committee (which rules are incorporated herein by reference), a Participant who is a party in interest (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA) may, with the consent of the Committee, borrow from his Plan Accounts.

 9.3.1 The maximum amount a Participant may borrow is the lesser of: (a) 50% of the value of the vested
(nonforfeitable) portion of the Participant’s Plan Accounts or (b) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Participant’s Plan Accounts (and from any other qualified plan maintained by an Affiliated
Employer) during the one year period ending on the day before the date the loan is made. 
 9.3.2 No Participant may have more
than two loans outstanding at any time. 
 9.3.3 Each loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest (as determined by the
Committee) and shall be secured by the loaned portion of the Participant’s Plan Accounts. The 

  

 25 

 
minimum term of any loan shall be one year and the maximum term of any loan shall be five years (fifteen years in the case of where the loan is used to
acquire the Participant’s principal residence). For the purpose of this Section 9.3.3, the term of the loan will commence with the first day of the month in which the loan proceeds are paid to the Participant. Substantially equal
amortization of the loan (with payments not less frequently than quarterly) shall be required. 
 9.3.4 Any amounts borrowed
from a Plan Account shall be deemed to be made pro rata from the various types of investments (other than loans) of the Plan Account. 
 9.3.5 Loan principal and interest payments must be made through payroll deductions, beginning with the first paycheck of the month following the month in which the loan proceeds are paid to the Participant; provided
that the Participant may prepay the entire outstanding balance on a loan at any time. Loan principal and interest payments shall be credited to the Plan Account from which the loan was made. To the extent that the Participant directs the investment
of the Plan Account from which the loan was made, loan payments to such Plan Account shall be invested according to the Participant’s investment direction in effect at the time of repayment. 
 9.3.6 If the Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason (including death), the remaining balance on each outstanding loan shall
become immediately due and payable and shall be satisfied through a distribution from the Participant’s Plan Accounts under Section 8. If the Participant’s pay is insufficient to cover the loan payments due for a period of 90 days or
if the Participant’s payroll deductions for loan payments are reduced or suspended for any reason, unless arrangements for manual payments (satisfactory to the Committee) are made, the remaining balance on each outstanding loan shall become
immediately due and payable. 
 9.3.7 The Committee, in its discretion, may establish such loan fees and prescribe such
additional terms and conditions for loans as it deems necessary or appropriate. 
 SECTION 10 
 TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS 
 10.1
General. If the Plan is or becomes Top-Heavy in any Plan Year, the provisions of this Section 10 will supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan. 
 10.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 10, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth unless the context otherwise requires: 
 10.2.1 “Key Employee” means any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan
Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of Convergys or an Affiliated Employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code), a 5-percent owner of Convergys or an Affiliated
Employer, or a 1-percent owner of Convergys or an Affiliated Employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The
determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. 
  

 26 

 10.2.2 For any Plan Year, this Plan is “Top-Heavy” if any of the following
conditions exists: 
 (a) If the Top Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60% and this Plan is not part of any Required
Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group of plans, 
 (b) If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of
plans (but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group) and the Top Heavy Ratio for the Required Aggregation Group of plans exceeds 60%, or 
 (c) If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%. 
 10.2.3 If an Affiliated Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and an
Affiliated Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the 5 year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required or Permissive Aggregation
Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any account balances distributed in the one year period ending on the
Determination Date(s)) (5 year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability), and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances
(including any part of any account balance distributed in the one year period ending on the Determination Date(s)) (5 year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment,
death or disability), determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Both the numerator and the denominator of the Top Heavy Ratio are adjusted to reflect any contributions not actually made as of the
Determination Date, but which are required to be taken into account on that date under Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
 10.2.4 If an Affiliated Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and an Affiliated Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit
plans which during the 5 year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top Heavy Ratio for any Required or Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
account balances under the aggregate defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with 10.2.3 above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key
Employees as of the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance with 10.2.3 above, and the present
value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance 

  

 27 

 
with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of
the Top Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the one year period ending on the Determination Date (5 year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than
severance from employment, death or disability). 
 For purposes of Sections 10.2.3 and 10.2.4, the value of account balances and the present
value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12 month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder
for the first and second Plan Years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who is not a Key Employee but was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2) who has not performed any services for
any Affiliated Employer at any time during the one year period ending of the Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account, will
be made in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of account
balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. Distributions made from a terminated plan during the five year period ending on the Determination Date shall be taken
into account for purposes of Sections 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 if the terminated plan would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group if it had not been terminated. The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances
of an employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under such terminated plan during the one year period ending on the Determination Date (5 year period ending on the Determination
date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability). 
 10.2.5
“Permissive Aggregation Group” means the Required Aggregation Group of plans plus any other plan or plans of any Affiliated Employer which, when considered as a group with the Required Aggregation Group, would continue to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. 
 10.2.6 “Required Aggregation Group” means (1) each
qualified plan of any Affiliated Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates or participated at any time during the 5 year period ending on the Determination Date (regardless of whether the plan ahs terminated), and (2) any other
qualified plan of an Affiliated Employer which enables a plan described in (1) to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code. 
 10.2.7 “Determination Date” means (1) for any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year and (2) for the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of that
year. 
 10.2.8 “Valuation Date” means the last business day of each Plan Year. 
  

 28 

 10.2.9 For purposes of establishing “Present Value” to compute the Top Heavy
Ratio, any benefit shall be discounted only for mortality and interest based on the following: (1) Interest Rate, 6%; (2) Mortality table, the Unisex Pension Table for 1984. 
 10.3 Minimum Contributions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan except 10.3.2 below, for any Plan Year in which this Plan is Top
Heavy, the Employer Contributions (other than Salary Deferral Contributions) and forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Participant who is not a Key Employee but who is an Employee on the last day of such Plan Year shall not be less than the lesser
of 3% of such Participant’s compensation as an Employee, or in the case where the Participating Companies have no defined benefit plan which designates this Plan to satisfy Section 401 of the Code, the largest percentage of Participating
Employer contributions (including Salary Deferral Contributions) and forfeitures, as a percentage of the first $200,000 (or such greater amount as may be permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code) of the Key Employee’s compensation,
allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for that Year. Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall
apply with respect to Employer Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum
contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code. The minimum allocation is determined without regard to any Social
Security contribution. This minimum allocation shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the year because of
(i) the Participant’s failure to complete 1,000 hours of service (or any equivalent provided in the Plan), or (ii) the Participant’s failure to make mandatory employee contributions to the Plan, or (iii) compensation less
than a stated amount. 
 10.3.1 For purposes of computing the minimum allocation, “compensation” means compensation
within the meaning of that term as used in Section 6.4. 
 10.3.2 For purposes of computing the minimum allocation,
Affiliated Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated under any other defined contribution plan of an Affiliated Employer, in which any Key Employee participates or which enables another defined contribution plan (in which a Key Employee
participates) to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code, shall be considered contributions and forfeitures allocated under this Plan. In the case of any non Key Employee Participant who is also a participant in any
defined benefit plan of an Affiliated Employer which designates this Plan to satisfy Section 401 of the Code, the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 shall be applied, but with 5% substituted for 3%. 
 10.3.3 The minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Section 416(b)) may not be suspended or
forfeited under Sections 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D) of the Code. 
  

 29 

 10.3.4 For purposes of this Section 10.3, the term “Participant” shall
include, with respect to any Plan Year, any Employee who is an Eligible Employee (within the meaning of Section 6.8) with respect to such Plan Year. 
 10.4 Minimum Vesting. Commencing on the first day of the first Plan Year in which the Plan becomes Top Heavy, with respect to any Participant who performs at least one Hour of Service on or after such date, the
Plan Accounts of each such Participant who has been credited with at least two years of Vesting Service shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. 
 10.5 Safe Harbor Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the top-heavy requirements of Section 416 of the Code and this Section 10 shall not apply in any year in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred
arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions (i.e., Employer Contributions under Section 5.2 of the Plan) with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the
Code are met. 
 SECTION 11 
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 
 11.1 Employee Benefits Committee. The Convergys Employee Benefits Committee shall
be responsible for the administration of the Plan and, in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon it in the Plan, shall have all such powers and authorities as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan,
including the power and authority to interpret and construe each and every provision of the Plan, to make benefit determination, and to resolve any disputes which arise under the Plan. In carrying out its duties under the Plan, including making
benefit determinations, interpreting or construing the provisions of the Plan, and resolving disputes, the Convergys Employee Benefits Committee (or any individual to whom authority has been delegated in accordance with Section 11.8). Without
limiting the foregoing, benefits under the Plan shall be paid only if the Convergys Employee Benefits Committee (or any individual to whom authority has been delegated in accordance with Section 11.8) or the Employee Benefits Review Committee,
as applicable, decides in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to benefits under the Plan. 
 11.2 Service of Process. Unless
another person has been appointed by Convergys to serve as agent for receipt of legal process with respect to the Plan, the Committee shall be the agent for receipt of legal process with respect to the Plan. 
 11.3 Compensation of Committee. The members of the Committee shall not receive compensation for their services as such, and except as required by
law, no bond or other security need be required of them in such capacity in any jurisdiction. 
 11.4 Rules of Plan. Subject to the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, establish rules for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its business. The Committee may correct errors, however arising, and, as far as possible, adjust any benefit
payments accordingly. The determination of the Committee as to the interpretation of the provisions of the Plan or any disputed question shall be conclusive upon all interested parties. 
  

 30 

 11.5 Named Fiduciary. The Committee shall be a named fiduciary of the Plan with respect to all
matters entrusted to it under the terms of the Plan and the Trust. 
 11.6 Agents and Employees. The Committee may authorize one or
more agents to execute or deliver any instrument. The Committee may appoint or employ such agents, counsel (including counsel of any Affiliated Employer or the Trustee), auditors (including auditors of any Affiliated Employer or the Trustee),
physicians, clerical help and actuaries as in its judgment may seem reasonable or necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and the Committee may certify to the Trustee the expenses chargeable to the Trust for such services. 

11.7 Records. The Committee shall maintain accounts showing the fiscal transactions of the Plan and shall keep, in convenient form, such data
as may be necessary for valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Plan. The Committee shall prepare and submit annually to Convergys a report showing in reasonable detail the assets and liabilities of the Plan, and giving a brief account of the
operation of the Plan for each Plan Year. 
 11.8 Delegation of Authority. The Committee and/or the Employee Benefits Review Committee
may, by resolution, delegate to any person or persons any or all of its rights and duties hereunder. Any such delegation shall be valid and binding on all persons, and the person or persons to whom authority has been delegated shall, upon written
acceptance of such authority, have full power to act in all matters so delegated until the authority expires by its terms or is revoked by the Committee and/or the Employee Benefits Review Committee. 
 11.9 Benefit Claims. Except to the extent that the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement provide another method of resolving claims
for benefits under the Plan, the provisions of this Section shall control with respect to the resolution of such claims. Whenever a claim for benefits under the Plan filed by any person (herein referred to as the “Claimant”) is denied,
whether in whole or in part, the Committee shall transmit a written notice of such decision to the Claimant within 90 days of the date the claim was filed or, if special circumstances require an extension, within 180 days of such date, which notice
shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and shall contain a statement of (i) the specific reasons for the denial of the claim, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
based, and (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such information is necessary. The notice shall also include a statement advising the Claimant
that, within 60 days of the date on which he receives such notice, he may obtain review of such decision in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth. Within such 60-day period, the Claimant or his authorized representative may request
that the claim denial be reviewed by filing with the Committee a written request therefor, which request shall contain the following information: 
  

	 	(a)	the date on which the Claimant’s request was filed with the Committee; provided, however, that the date on which the Claimant’s request for review was in fact filed with
the Committee shall control in the event that the date of the actual filing is later than the date stated by the Claimant pursuant to this paragraph; 

  

 31 

	 	(b)	the specific portions of the denial of his claim which the Claimant requests the Committee to review; 

  

	 	(c)	a statement by the Claimant setting forth the basis upon which he believes the Committee should reverse the previous denial of his claim for benefits and accept his claim as made;
and 

  

	 	(d)	any written material (offered as exhibits) which the Claimant desires the Committee to examine in its consideration of his position as stated pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section. 

 Within 60 days of the date determined pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section or, if special circumstances require an
extension, within 120 days of such date, the Employee Benefits Review Committee shall conduct a full and fair review of the decision denying the Claimant’s claim for benefits and shall render its written decision on review to the Claimant. The
Employee Benefits Review Committee’s decision on review shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and shall specify the reasons and Plan provisions upon which the Employee Benefits Review Committee’s decision
was based. 
 The Committee or the Employee Benefits Review Committee may establish such additional rules and procedures as necessary or desirable, including
to comply with any applicable Department of Labor regulations. 
 11.10 Eligibility. The members of the Committee shall not be
precluded from becoming Participants in the Plan if they are otherwise eligible. 
 11.11 Indemnification. Convergys shall indemnify
each member of the Committee for all expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of the administration of the Plan, other than any expenses or liabilities resulting from the member’s own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which the members of the Committee may be entitled as a matter of law. 
 SECTION 12 
 MANAGEMENT OF ASSETS 
 All assets of the Plan shall be held in the Trust for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries. Except as to the costs and
expenses of the Plan and Trust not otherwise provided for and except as otherwise provided herein, in no event shall it be possible for any of the assets of the Plan to be used for, or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the
Participants and their Beneficiaries. No person shall have any interest in or right to any part of the assets of the Plan, except as and to the extent provided in the Plan and the Trust. 
  

 32 

 SECTION 13 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 13.1 Amendment. Convergys reserves the right to amend the
Plan either retroactively or prospectively, conditionally or absolutely; provided that Convergys shall have no right to amend the Plan in such manner as would cause or permit any part of the assets of the Trust to be used for or diverted to purposes
other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries. If an amendment is adopted which changes any vesting schedule under the Plan, each Participant who has been credited with three years of service may elect to have his
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The period during which such election may be made shall begin on the date the amendment is adopted and shall end on the latest of: (a) the 60th day after the
day the amendment is adopted; (b) the 60th day after the day the amendment becomes effective; or (c) the 60th day after the day the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment. Further, in no event shall an Employee’s vested
interest in his benefit accrued as of the later of the effective date of such amendment or the date such amendment is adopted, be determined on and after the effective date of such amendment under a vesting schedule that is more restrictive than the
vesting schedule applicable to such accrued benefit prior to the effective date of such amendment. 
 13.2 Termination. Convergys
reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, either retroactively or prospectively, conditionally or absolutely. In the event of the termination or partial termination of the Plan or the permanent discontinuance of Company
contributions to the Plan, the Plan Accounts of all affected Participants shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. To the extent permitted by law, if the Plan is terminated, each Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be distributed to him or his
Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as practicable thereafter. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.2, no
distribution shall be made to an Eligible Employee of any portion of the balance of his Salary Deferral Account on account of Plan termination (other than a distribution made in accordance with Article IX or required in accordance with
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code) unless (i) neither his Participating Company nor an Affiliated Employer establishes or maintains another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code, a tax credit employee stock ownership plan as defined in Section 409 of the Code, a simplified employee pension as defined in Section 408(k) of the Code, a SIMPLE IRA plan as defined in
Section 408(p) of the Code, a plan or contract that meets the requirements of Section 403(b) of the Code, or a plan that is described in Section 457(b) or (f) of the Code) either at the time the Plan is terminated or at any time
during the period ending 12 months after distribution of all assets from the Plan; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if fewer than 2% of the Covered Employees who have met the eligibility requirements under Section 4.1 of
the Plan were eligible to participate at any time in such other defined contribution plan during the 24 month period beginning 12 months before the Plan termination, and (ii) the distribution the Participant receives is a “lump sum
distribution” as defined in Section 402(e)(4) of the Code, without regard to clauses (I), (II), (III), and (IV) of sub-paragraph (D)(i) thereof. 
  

 33 

 SECTION 14 
 MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS 
 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, in no
event shall the Plan be merged or consolidated with any other plan, nor shall any of the assets or liabilities of the Plan be transferred to any other plan, unless each Participant and Beneficiary would (if the transferee or surviving plan then
terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then
terminated). 
 SECTION 15 
 NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS 
 Except (1) to offset benefits for any overpayments made from the Plan to the
recipient, (2) as provided in Section 401(a)(13) of the Code (relating to qualified domestic relations orders), (3) Section 401(a)(13)(C) and (D) of the Code (relating to offsets ordered or required under a criminal
conviction involving the Plan, (4) a civil judgment in connection with a violation or alleged violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, or a settlement agreement between the Participant and the Department of Labor in connection with

 SECTION 17 
 MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS 
 17.1 General Rules. 
 17.1.1 Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 17 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions
for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year. 
 17.1.2 Precedence. The provisions of this Section 17
will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. 
 17.1.3 Requirements of Treasury Regulations
Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 17 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 17.1.4 TEFRA Section 242(b) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Addendum, distributions may be made under

 35 

 17.2 Time and Manner of Distribution. 
 17.2.1 Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the
Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. 
 17.2.2 Death of Participant Before
Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: 
 (a) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary”, then, except as may be
provided in Section 17.6, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the
Participant would have attained age 70 1/2, if later. 
 (b) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the
Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary”, then, except as may be provided in Section 17.6, distributions to the “designated beneficiary” will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Participant died. 
 (c) If there is no “designated beneficiary” as of September 30
of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 
 (d) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary” and the surviving spouse
dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 17.2.2., other than Section 17.2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. 
 For purposes of this Section 17.2.2 and Section 17.6, unless Section 17.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s
Required Beginning Date. If Section 17.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 17.2.2(a). If distributions under an annuity purchased from
an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s required beginning date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under
Section 17.2.2(a), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence. 
 17.2.3
Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first “distribution
calendar year” distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 17.3 and 17.4. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in
accordance with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations 
  

 36 

 17.3 Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 
 17.3.1 Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the
minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” is the lesser of: 
 (a) The quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant’s “account balance” by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s
birthday in the “distribution calendar year”; or 
 (b) If the Participant’s sole “designated
beneficiary” for the “distribution calendar year” is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s “account balance” by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in
Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the “distribution calendar year”. 
 17.3.2 Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions
will be determined under this Section 17.3 beginning with the first “distribution calendar year” and up to and including the “distribution calendar year” that includes the Participant’s date of death 
 17.4 Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death. 
 17.4.1 Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. 
 (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a
“designated beneficiary”, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s “account
balance” by the longer of the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant or the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant’s “designated beneficiary”, determined as follows: 
  

	 	i.	The Participant’s remaining “life expectancy” is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

  

 37 

	 	ii.	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary”, the remaining “life expectancy” of the surviving spouse is
calculated for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For “distribution calendar years” after the year
of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining “life expectancy” of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by
one for each subsequent calendar year. 

  

	 	iii.	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary”, the “designated beneficiary’s” remaining “life
expectancy” is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

 (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no “designated
beneficiary” as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant’s death is the
quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s “account balance” by the Participant’s remaining “life expectancy” calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent
year. 
 17.4.2 Death Before Date Distributions Begin. 
 (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as may be provided in Section 17.6, if the Participant dies before
the date distributions begin and there is a “designated beneficiary”, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by
dividing the Participant’s “account balance” by the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant’s “designated beneficiary”, determined as provided in Section 17.4.1. 
 (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no “designated
beneficiary” as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Participant’s death. 
 (c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are
Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole “designated beneficiary”, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are
required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 17.2.2(d), this Section 17.4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. 
  

 38 

 17.5 Definitions. 
 17.5.1 Designated Beneficiary. The term “designated beneficiary” means the individual who is designated as the
Participant’s Beneficiary under Section 2.1.3 of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4. 
 17.5.2 Distribution Calendar Year. The term “distribution calendar year” means a calendar year for which a minimum
distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first “distribution calendar year” is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required
beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first “distribution calendar year” is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 17.2.2. The required minimum
distribution for the Participant’s first “distribution calendar year” will be made on or before the Participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other “distribution calendar years”,
including the required minimum distribution for the “distribution calendar year” in which the Participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that “distribution calendar year”.

 17.5.3 Life Expectancy. The term “life expectancy” means the life expectancy as computed by use of the
Single Life Table in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(a)(9)-9. 
 17.5.4 Participant’s Account Balance. The term
Participant’s “account balance” means the Plan Account balance as of the last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the “distribution calendar year” (the “valuation calendar year”) increased by
the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Plan Account balance as of dates in the “valuation calendar year” after the Valuation Date and decreased by distributions made in the “valuation
calendar year” after the Valuation Date. The Plan Account balance for the “valuation calendar year” includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the “valuation calendar year” or in the
“distribution calendar year” if distributed or transferred in the “valuation calendar year”. 
 17.5.5
Required Beginning Date. The Term “required beginning date” means the following: 
 (a) for a Participant who is not a “five percent owner”, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which occurs the later of the Participant’s (i) attainment of age 70 1/2 or (ii) the date he ceases to be an Employee. 
 (b) for a Participant who is a “five percent owner”, April 1 of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2. 
 A Participant is a “five percent owner” if he is a five percent owner, as defined in Section 416(i)
of the Code and determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code, but without regard to whether the Plan is top-heavy, for the Plan Year ending with or within the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2. The required beginning date of a Participant who is a “five percent owner” hereunder shall not be redetermined if the
Participant ceases to be a five percent owner as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code with respect to any subsequent Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Accounts of a Participant who is a 5% owner (as defined 

  

 39 

 
in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) of an Affiliated Employer and who remains in employment shall be distributed as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan
Year in which he attains age 70 1/2 and any assets allocated to the Participant’s Plan Accounts during any subsequent Plan Year shall be distributed as of the last Valuation Date of such subsequent Plan Year. 
 17.6 Elective Provisions. 
 17.6.1 Election to Allow Participants or Beneficiaries to Elect 5-Year Rule. Participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or the “life expectancy” rule in Sections 17.2.2 and 17.4.2
applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a “designated beneficiary”. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin
under Section 17.2.2, or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If neither the Participant nor beneficiary makes an election
under this paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 17.2.2 and 17.4.2. 
 17.6.2 Election to Allow
Designated Beneficiary Receiving Distributions Under 5-Year Rule to Elect Life Expectancy Distributions. A “designated beneficiary” who is receiving payments under the 5-year rule may make a new election to receive payments under the
“life expectancy” rule until December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be distributed under the “life expectancy” rule for all “distribution calendar years” before 2004 are
distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the end of the 5-year period.
