and related Barrett Business Services, Inc., Stock Incentive Plan for California Residents, and the Barrett Business Services,
Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plans"). The adoption of the Plan will neither affect nor be affected by the

DURATION OF THE PLAN AND SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

of the Plan. The Plan is effective May 27, 2015, 2015. Unless terminated by the Board on an earlier date, the Plan will remain
in effect through May 27, 2020. Termination of the Plan will not affect outstanding Awards.

 

4.2          Shares
Subject to the Plan. The shares which may be made subject to Awards under the Plan are Shares of Common Stock, which may be

of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan is 1,000,000, of which the maximum aggregate number of Shares for which

and its Subsidiaries (including employees who may also be directors of Corporation or a Subsidiary), Consultants, Non-Employee
Board Directors, and Non-Employee Subsidiary Directors who, in the Committee's judgment, are or will be contributors to the long-term
success of Corporation, are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

 

Article 6

AWARDS

 

6.1          Types
of Awards. The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan are:

 

(a)          Options
governed by Article 7 of the Plan;

 

(b)          Stock
Appreciation Rights governed by Article 8 of the Plan;

 

(c)          Restricted
Awards governed by Article 9 of the Plan;

 

(d)          Performance
Share Awards governed by Article 10 of the Plan; and

 

(e)          Other
Stock-Based Awards or combination awards governed by Article 11 of the Plan.

 

In the discretion of the Committee, any Award may be granted
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan.

 

6.2          General.
Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may cause Corporation to grant Awards to such Participants, at such times,
of such types, in such amounts, for such periods, with such option prices, purchase prices, or base prices, and subject to such
terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate. Awards may be granted
as additional compensation to a Participant or in lieu of other compensation to such Participant. A Participant may receive more
than one Award and more than one type of Award under the Plan. Performance Share Awards shall be earned solely upon attainment
of Performance Goals, and the Committee shall have no discretion to increase such Awards.

 

6.3          Nonuniform
Determinations. The Committee's determinations under the Plan or under one or more Award Agreements, including, without limitation,
(a) the selection of Participants to receive Awards, (b) the type, form, amount, and timing of Awards, (c) the terms
of specific Award Agreements, and (d) elections and determinations made by the Committee with respect to exercise or payments
of Awards, need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee selectively among Participants and Awards, whether or not Participants
are similarly situated.

 

    	- 7 -

    	 

    

 

6.4          Award
Agreements. Each Award will be evidenced by a written agreement (an "Award Agreement") between Corporation and the
Participant. Award Agreements may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, contain any provision approved by the Committee.

 

6.5          Provisions
Governing All Awards. All Awards are subject to the following provisions:

 

(a)          Alternative
Awards. If any Awards are designated in their Award Agreements as alternative to each other, the exercise of all or part of
one Award will automatically cause an immediate equal (or pro rata) corresponding termination of the other alternative Award or
Awards.

 

(b)          Rights
as Stockholders. No Participant will have any rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Award until such
Shares are issued in the name of the Participant.

 

(c)          Employment
Rights. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any Award confers on any person the right to continued employment
with Corporation or any Subsidiary or the right to remain as a director of or a Consultant to Corporation or any Subsidiary, as
the case may be, nor does it interfere in any way with the right of Corporation or a Subsidiary to terminate such person's employment
or to remove such person as a Consultant or as a director at any time for any reason, or for no reason, with or without cause.

 

(d)          Restriction
on Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly provided in an individual Award Agreement, each Award (other than Restricted Shares
after they Vest) will not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and each Award will be exercisable
(if exercise is required), during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, in the event the Participant becomes
legally incompetent, by the Participant's guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its
discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement that the Award:

 

·          May
be freely transferred;

 

·          May
be freely transferred to a class of transferees specified in the Award Agreement; or

 

·          May
be transferred, but only subject to any terms and conditions specified in the Award Agreement (including, without limitation,
a condition that an Award may only be transferred without payment of consideration).

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award
Agreement may provide that the Award or the Shares subject to the Award may be surrendered to Corporation pursuant to Section 6.5(h)
in connection with the payment of the purchase or option price of another Award or the payment of the Participant's federal, state,
or local tax withholding obligation with respect to the exercise or payment of another Award.

 

    	- 8 -

    	 

    

  

(e)          Termination
of Employment. The terms and conditions under which an Award may be exercised, if at all, after a Participant's termination
of employment or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant will be determined by
the Committee and specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

(f)          Change
in Control. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement that:

 

(i)          In
the event of a change in control of Corporation (as the Committee may define such term in the Award Agreement), all or a specified
portion of the Award (to the extent then outstanding) will become immediately Vested in full to the extent not previously Vested.
Any such acceleration of Award Vesting must comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and any Participant will
be entitled to decline the accelerated Vesting of all or any portion of his or her Award, if he or she determines that such acceleration
may result in adverse tax consequences to him or her; and

 

(ii)         In
the event the Board approves a proposal for: (i) a merger, exchange or consolidation transaction in which Corporation is not
the resulting or surviving corporation (or in which Corporation is the resulting or surviving corporation but becomes a subsidiary
of another corporation); (ii) the transfer of all or substantially all the assets of Corporation; (iii) a sale of 40 percent
or more of the combined voting power of Corporation's voting securities; or (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of Corporation
(each, a "Transaction"), the Committee will notify Participants in writing of the proposed Transaction (the "Proposal
Notice") at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transaction. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
and to the extent possible under the structure of the Transaction, select one of the following alternatives for treating outstanding
Awards under the Plan:

 

(A)         The
Committee may provide that outstanding Awards will be converted into or replaced by Awards of a similar type in the stock of the
surviving or acquiring corporation in the Transaction. The amount and type of securities subject to and the exercise price (if
applicable) of the replacement or converted Awards will be determined by the Committee based on the exchange ratio, if any, used
in determining shares of the surviving corporation to be issued to holders of Shares of Corporation. If there is no exchange ratio
in the Transaction, the Committee will, in making its determination, take into account the relative values of the companies involved
in the Transaction and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant. Such replacement or converted Awards will continue to
Vest over the period (and at the same rate) as the Awards which the replacement or converted Awards replaced, unless determined
otherwise by the Committee;

 

    	- 9 -

    	 

    

  

(B)         The
Committee may provide a 30-day period prior to the consummation of the Transaction during which all outstanding Awards will tentatively
become fully Vested, and upon consummation of such Transaction, all outstanding and unexercised Awards will immediately terminate.
If the Committee elects to provide such 30-day period for the exercise of Awards, the Proposal Notice must so state. Participants,
by written notice to Corporation, may exercise their Awards and, in so exercising the Awards, may condition such exercise upon,
and provide that such exercise will become effective immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction, in which event
Participants need not make payment for any Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of an Award until five days after written
notice by Corporation to the Participants that the Transaction has been consummated (the "Transaction Notice"). If the
Transaction is consummated, each Award, to the extent not previously exercised prior to the consummation of the Transaction, will
terminate and cease being exercisable as of the effective date of such consummation. If the Transaction is abandoned, (1) all
outstanding Awards not exercised will continue to be Vested and exercisable, to the extent such Awards were Vested and exercisable
prior to the date of the Proposal Notice, and (2) to the extent that any Awards not exercised prior to such abandonment have
become Vested and exercisable solely by operation of this Section 6.5(f)(ii), such Vesting and exercisability will be deemed
annulled, and the Vesting and exercisability provisions otherwise in effect will be reinstituted, as of the date of such abandonment;
or

 

(C)         The
Committee may provide that outstanding Awards that are not fully Vested will become fully Vested subject to Corporation's right
to pay each Participant a cash amount (determined by the Committee and based on the amount, if any, being received by Corporation's
stockholders in the Transaction) in exchange for cancellation of the applicable Award.

 

Unless the Committee specifically
provides otherwise in the change in control provision for a specific Award Agreement, Awards will become Vested as of a change
in control date only if, or to the extent, such acceleration in the Vesting of the Awards does not result in an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code. The Committee, in its discretion, may include change in control
provisions in some Award Agreements and not in others, may include different change in control provisions in different Award Agreements,
and may include change in control provisions for some Awards or some Participants and not for others.

 

(g)          Conditioning
or Accelerating Benefits. The Committee, in its discretion, may include in any Award Agreement a provision conditioning or
accelerating the Vesting of an Award or the receipt of benefits pursuant to an Award, either automatically or in the discretion
of the Committee, upon the occurrence of specified events, including without limitation, a change in control of Corporation (subject
to the foregoing paragraph (f)), a sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Corporation, or an event of the
type described in Article 13 of this Plan.

(h)         Payment
of Purchase Price and Withholding. The Committee, in its discretion, may include in any Award Agreement a provision permitting
the Participant to pay the purchase or option price, if any, for the Shares or other property issuable pursuant to the Award, or
the Participant's federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations with respect to such issuance, in whole or in part, by one
or more of the following methods; provided, however, that the availability of any one or more methods of payment may be suspended
from time to time if the Committee determines that the use of such payment method would result in adverse financial accounting
treatment for Corporation or adverse tax treatment for Corporation or Participants:

 

(i)          By
delivering cash or a check;

 

(ii)         By
delivering previously owned Shares (including Restricted Shares, whether or not Vested);

 

(iii)        By
surrendering other outstanding Vested Awards under the Plan denominated in Shares or in Share equivalent units;

 

(iv)         By
reducing the number of Shares or other property otherwise Vested and issuable pursuant to the Award;

 

(v)          Unless
specifically prohibited by any applicable statute or rule, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, by delivering to Corporation a promissory note payable on such terms and over such period as the Committee may determine;

 

(vi)         In
the event Shares are publicly traded, by delivery (in a form approved by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities
broker acceptable to the Committee (subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any other applicable statute
or rule):

 

(A)         To
sell Shares subject to the Award and to deliver all or a part of the sale proceeds to Corporation in payment of all or a part of
the option or purchase price and taxes or withholding taxes attributable to the issuance; or

 

(B)         To
pledge Shares subject to the Award to the broker as security for a loan and to deliver all or a part of the loan proceeds to Corporation
in payment of all or a part of the option or purchase price and taxes or withholding taxes attributable to the issuance; or

 

(vii)        In
any combination of the foregoing or in any other form approved by the Committee.

 

    	- 11 -

    	 

    

 

If Restricted Shares are surrendered
in full or partial payment of the purchase or option price of Shares issuable under an Award, a corresponding number of the Shares
issued upon exercise of the Award will be Restricted Shares subject to the same Restrictions as the surrendered Restricted Shares.
Shares withheld or surrendered as described above will be valued based on their Fair Market Value on the date of the transaction.
Any Shares withheld or surrendered with respect to a Reporting Person will be subject to such additional conditions and limitations
as the Committee may impose to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(i)          Reporting
Persons. With respect to all Awards granted to Reporting Persons, the following limitations will apply only if or to the extent
required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise:

 

(i)          Awards
requiring exercise will not be exercisable until at least six months after the date the Award was granted, except in the case of
the death or Disability of the Participant; and

 

(ii)         Shares
issued pursuant to any other Award may not be sold by the Participant for at least six months after acquisition, except in the
case of the death or Disability of the Participant.

 

Award Agreements for Awards to Reporting Persons must
also comply with any future restrictions imposed by such Rule 16b-3.

 

(j)          Service
Periods. At the time of granting an Award, the Committee may specify, by resolution or in the Award Agreement, the period or
periods of service performed or to be performed by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Award.

 

(k)          Clawback/Recovery.
All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that Corporation is required
to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which Corporation's securities
are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions
in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate, including without limitation in the event the Participant
accepts employment with a competitor of Corporation or otherwise competes with Corporation. No recovery of compensation under such
a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any agreement with Corporation or a Subsidiary.

6.6          Performance
Goals.

 

(a)          In
the event an Award is intended to be performance-based, the Committee will establish Performance Goals for each Performance Period
on the basis of such criteria and to accomplish such objectives as the Committee may from time to time select. Unless otherwise
permitted under Code Section 162(m), the Committee shall establish the Performance Goal(s) applicable to each Award intended
to be performance-based in writing no later than the earlier of (a) the date 90 days after the commencement of the applicable Performance
Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the
Performance Goal(s) remains substantially uncertain. Performance Goals may be based on (i) performance criteria for the Corporation,
a subsidiary, or an operating group, (ii) the performance of a business unit of the Corporation, (iii) a Participant's individual
performance, or (iv) a combination of the three. Performance Goals may include objective and subjective criteria. Except with
respect to goals set pursuant to Section 6.6(b), during any Performance Period, the Committee may adjust the Performance Goals
for such Performance Period as it deems equitable in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Corporation, changes
in applicable tax laws or accounting principles, or such other factors as the Committee may determine.

 

(b)          The
Performance Goals for Performance Shares or Restricted Awards granted to executive officers of Corporation may relate to corporate
performance, business unit performance, individual performance, or a combination of the three.

 

(i)          Corporate
Performance Goals will be based on financial performance goals related to the performance of Corporation as a whole and may include
one or more measures related to gross or net revenues, earnings, profitability, cash flow (including measures such as Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)), efficiency, market share, gross margin, return to stockholders
(such as earnings per share), stock price, revenue growth, return on equity, return on assets or return on invested capital, or
other measures whether expressed as absolute amounts, ratios, or percentages of other amounts.

 

(ii)         Business
unit Performance Goals will be based on a combination of financial goals and strategic goals related to the performance of an identified
business unit for which a Participant has responsibility. Strategic goals for a business unit may include one or a combination
of objective factors relating to success in implementing strategic plans or initiatives, introducing products or services, establishing
new branches, identifying or completing potential acquisitions, limiting losses or containing risks, or other identifiable objectives.
Financial goals for a business unit may include the degree to which the business unit achieves one or more objective measures related
to its gross or net revenues, earnings, profitability, efficiency, gross margin, return on equity, or return on assets.

 

(iii)        Any
corporate or business unit Performance Goals may be expressed as absolute amounts or as ratios or percentages. Success may be measured
against various standards, including budget targets, improvement over prior periods, and performance relative to other companies,
business units, or industry groups.

 

    	- 13 -

    	 

    

 

(iv)         Individual
Performance Goals will measure success in developing and implementing particular tasks assigned to an individual Participant. Individual
Performance Goals will naturally vary depending upon the responsibilities of individual Participants and may include, without limitation,
goals related to success in developing and implementing particular management plans or systems, reorganizing departments, establishing
business relationships, or resolving identified problems.

 

(c)          Prior
to the payment of any Award intended to be performance-based, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance
Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied.

 

Article 7

OPTIONS

 

7.1          Types
of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Options. The grant
of each Option and the Award Agreement governing each Option will identify the Option as an ISO or an NQO. In the event the Code
is amended to provide for tax-favored forms of stock options other than or in addition to Incentive Stock Options, the Committee
may grant Options under the Plan meeting the requirements of such forms of options. ISOs may not be awarded unless the Plan is
approved by stockholders within 12 months of adoption of the Plan.

 

7.2          General.
All Options will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 and this Article 7 and Award Agreements
governing Options may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as
the Committee deems desirable.

 

7.3          Option
Price. Each Award Agreement for Options will state the option exercise price per Share of Common Stock purchasable under the
Option, which may not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant for all Options.

 

7.4          Option
Term. The Award Agreement for each Option will specify the term of each Option, which may be unlimited or may have a specified
period during which the Option may be exercised, as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no ISO may be exercisable
after the expiration of ten years from the date such ISO is granted.

 

7.5          Time
of Exercise. The Award Agreement for each Option will specify, as determined by the Committee:

 

(a)          The
time or times when the Option becomes exercisable and whether the Option becomes exercisable in full or in graduated amounts based
on: (i) continuation of employment over a period specified in the Award Agreement, (ii) satisfaction of Performance Goals
or other criteria specified in the Award Agreement, or (iii) a combination of continuation of employment and satisfaction
of Performance Goals or other criteria;

 

    	- 14 -

    	 

    

 

(b)          Such
other terms, conditions, and restrictions as to when the Option may be exercised as determined by the Committee; and

 

(c)          The
extent, if any, to which the Option will remain exercisable after the Participant ceases to be an employee, Consultant, or director
of Corporation or a Subsidiary.

 

An Award Agreement for an Option may, in the discretion of the
Committee, provide whether, and to what extent, the time when an Option becomes exercisable may be accelerated or otherwise modified
(i) in the event of the death, Disability, or Retirement of the Participant, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a change
in control of Corporation. The Committee may, at any time in its discretion, accelerate the time when all or any portion of an
outstanding Option becomes exercisable.

 

7.6          Special
Rules for Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option, the terms of the Option
and the Award Agreement will conform with the statutory and regulatory requirements specified pursuant to Section 422 of the
Code, as in effect on the date such ISO is granted, including but not limited to the following requirements:

 

(a)          Limited
to Employees. ISOs may be granted only to employees of Corporation or a Subsidiary;

 

(b)          Term
of ISO. ISOs may not remain exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from its grant date;

 

(c)          Ten
Percent Stockholders. In the case of any ISO granted to a Participant who, as of the date of grant, possesses more than 10 percent
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Corporation or any parent or Subsidiary of Corporation, the option
exercise price may not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant and the ISO may not
remain exercisable after the expiration of five years from its grant date; and

 

(d)          $100,000
Annual Limitation. In the event that Options intended to be ISOs are granted to a Participant in excess of the $100,000 annual
limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d)(1), the Options will be bifurcated so that the Options will be ISOs to the maximum
extent allowable under that limitation and will be NQOs as to any excess over that limitation.

 

7.7          Restricted
Shares. In the discretion of the Committee, the Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option may have restrictions similar to
Restricted Awards if so provided in the Award Agreement for the Option.

 

7.8          Limitation
on Number of Shares Subject to Options. In no event may Options for more than 200,000 Shares be granted to any individual under
the Plan during any calendar year. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, if any Option is canceled, the canceled
Option shall continue to be counted against the maximum number of Shares for which Options may be granted to an individual under
the Plan.

Article 8

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

8.1          General.
Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 and this Article 8 and Award
Agreements governing Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express
terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems desirable.

 

8.2          Nature
of Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling a Participant to receive an amount equal to the
excess (or, if the Committee determines at the time of grant, a portion of the excess) of the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common
Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the base price, as described below, on the date of grant of the SAR, multiplied by
the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised. The base price will be designated by the Committee in the
Award Agreement for the SAR and may be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date of the SAR or such other higher price
as the Committee determines. The base price may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date of the SAR.

 

8.3          Exercise.
A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The Committee
may also provide that a SAR will be automatically exercised on one or more specified dates or upon the satisfaction of one or more
specified conditions. In the case of SARs granted to Reporting Persons, exercise of the SARs will be limited by the Committee to
the extent required to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

8.4          Form
of Payment. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, in Shares, in other property, or in any
combination of the foregoing, or any other form as the Committee may determine.

 

8.5          Limitation
on Number of Stock Appreciation Rights. In no event may more than 200,000 Stock Appreciation Rights be granted to any individual
under the Plan during any calendar year. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, if any SAR is canceled, the canceled
SAR shall continue to be counted against the maximum number of Shares for which SARs may be granted to an individual under the
Plan.

 

Article 9

RESTRICTED AWARDS

 

9.1          Types
of Restricted Awards. Restricted Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of either Restricted Shares or Restricted
Units.

 

(a)          Restricted
Shares. A Restricted Share is an Award of Shares to a Participant subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Participant forfeit such Restricted Shares back to the Corporation
upon termination of Participant's employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or
Consultant) for specified reasons within a specified period of time or upon other conditions, including failure to achieve Performance
Goals, as set forth in the Award Agreement for such Restricted Shares. Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares will be issued
a stock certificate in respect of such Shares, registered in the name of such Participant, and will execute a stock power in blank
with respect to the Shares evidenced by such certificate. The certificate evidencing such Restricted Shares and the stock power
will be held in custody by the Corporation until the Restrictions have lapsed.

 

    	- 16 -

    	 

    

  

(b)          Restricted
Units. A Restricted Unit is an Award of units (with each unit having a value equivalent to one Share) granted to a Participant
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, and may include a requirement that the Participant forfeit
such Restricted Units upon termination of Participant's employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary
Director, or Consultant) for specified reasons within a specified period of time or upon other conditions, including failure to
achieve Performance Goals, as set forth in the Award Agreement for such Restricted Units. The Committee will set the terms and
conditions of the Award Agreement so that the Restricted Unit Award will comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A.

 

9.2           General.
Restricted Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of Article 6 and this Article 9 and Award Agreements governing
Restricted Awards may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as
the Committee deems desirable.

 

9.3           Restriction
Period. Award Agreements for Restricted Awards will provide that the Shares subject to Restricted Awards may not be transferred,
and may provide that, in order for a Participant to Vest in such Restricted Awards, the Participant must remain in the employment
(or remain as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) of Corporation or its Subsidiaries,
subject to relief for reasons specified in the Award Agreement, for a period commencing on the grant date of the Award and ending
on such later date or dates as the Committee may designate at the time of the Award (the "Restriction Period"). During
the Restriction Period, a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of Shares received
under a Restricted Award grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments
during the Restriction Period. Upon expiration of the applicable Restriction Period (or lapse of Restrictions during the Restriction
Period where the Restrictions lapse in installments) the Participant will be entitled to settlement of the Restricted Award or
portion thereof, as the case may be. Although Restricted Awards will typically Vest based on continued employment (or service as
a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant), the Committee, in its discretion, may condition
Vesting of Restricted Awards on attainment of designated Performance Goals as well as continued employment (or service as a Non-Employee
Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant). In such case, the Restriction Period for such a Restricted Award
will include the period prior to satisfaction of the Performance Goals.

 

9.4           Forfeiture.
If a Participant ceases to be an employee (or Consultant, Non-Employee Board Director, or Non-Employee Subsidiary Director) of
Corporation or a Subsidiary during the Restriction Period for any reason other than reasons which may be specified in an Award
Agreement (such as death, Disability, or Retirement), the Award Agreement may require that all non-Vested Shares previously granted
to the Participant be forfeited and returned to Corporation.

 

    	- 17 -

    	 

    

 

9.5          Settlement
of Restricted Awards.

 

(a)          Restricted
Shares. Upon Vesting of an Award of Restricted Shares, the restrictive stock legend on certificates for such Shares covering
applicable Restrictions will be removed, the Participant's stock power will be returned, and the Shares will no longer be Restricted
Shares. 

 

(b)          Restricted
Units. Upon Vesting of an Award of Restricted Units, a Participant is entitled to receive payment for Restricted Units in an
amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Restricted Units at the expiration of the applicable
Restriction Period. Payment in settlement of a Restricted Unit will be made as soon as practicable following the conclusion of
the applicable Restriction Period in cash, in installments, in Restricted Shares or in unrestricted Shares equal to the number
of Restricted Units or in any other manner or combination as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines.

 

9.6           Rights
as a Stockholder. A Participant has, with respect to unforfeited Shares received under an Award of Restricted Shares, all the
rights of a stockholder of Corporation, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. Stock
dividends issued with respect to non-Vested Shares granted under a Restricted Award will be treated as additional Shares covered
by the Restricted Award and will be subject to the same Restrictions. A Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to an Award of Restricted Units until Shares are issued to the Participant in settlement of the Award.

 

9.7           Limitation
in Number of Restricted Awards. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Restricted Awards may be granted to any
individual under the Plan during any calendar year is 100,000. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, if any
Restricted Award is canceled, the canceled Restricted Award shall continue to be counted against the maximum number of Shares for
which Restricted Awards may be granted to an individual under the Plan.

 

Article 10

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

 

10.1         General.
Performance Share Awards are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 and this Article 10 and Award Agreements
governing Performance Share Awards may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express terms of
the Plan, as the Committee deems desirable.

 

10.2         Nature
of Performance Shares. Each Performance Share shall represent the right of a Participant to receive an actual Share or Share
unit having a value equal to one Share.

 

10.3         Performance
Period. At the time of each Performance Share Award, the Committee shall establish, with respect to each such Award, a Performance
Period during which performance shall be measured. There may be more than one Performance Share Award in existence at any one time,
and Performance Periods may differ.

 

    	- 18 -

    	 

    

 

10.4        Performance

10.5.1           Following
the end of the Performance Period, a Participant holding a Performance Share Award will be entitled to receive payment of an amount,
not exceeding the maximum value of the Performance Shares, based on the achievement of the Performance Goals for such Performance
Period, as determined by the Committee.

 

10.5.2           Payment
of Performance Shares shall be made in cash or Shares, as designated by the Committee in the Award Agreement. Payment shall be
made in a lump sum or in installments and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.
A Participant shall be paid with respect to the Participant's Performance Shares no later than the last date that causes the payment
to constitute a short-term deferral that is not subject to Section 409A, unless the Award Agreement includes terms that comply
with Section 409A.

 

10.6        Limitation
on Performance Units. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Performance Shares may be granted to any individual
under the Plan during any calendar year is 100,000.

 

Article 11

OTHER STOCK-BASED AND COMBINATION AWARDS

 

11.1        Other
Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant other Awards under the Plan pursuant to which Shares are or may in the future be
acquired, or Awards denominated in or measured by Share equivalent units, including Awards valued using measures other than the
market value of Shares. Other Stock-Based Awards are not restricted to any specific form or structure and may include, without
limitation, grants of unrestricted Shares, Share purchase warrants, other rights to acquire Shares, and securities convertible
into or redeemable for Shares. Such Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any
other type of Award granted under the Plan.

 

11.2        Combination
Awards. The Committee may also grant Awards under the Plan in tandem or combination with other Awards or in exchange of Awards,
or in tandem or combination with, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under any other employee plan of Corporation, including
the plan of any acquired entity. No action authorized by this section will reduce the amount of any existing benefits or change
the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant's consent.

 

    	- 19 -

    	 

    

 

Article 12

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

 

Any Awards may, at the discretion of the
Committee, earn dividend equivalents. In respect of any such Award which is outstanding on a dividend record date for Common Stock,
the Participant may be credited with an amount equal to the amount of cash or stock dividends that would have been paid on the
Shares covered by such Award, had such covered Shares been issued and outstanding on such dividend record date. The Committee will
establish such rules and procedures governing the crediting of dividend equivalents, including the timing, form of payment, and
payment contingencies of such dividend equivalents, as it deems appropriate or necessary.

 

Article 13

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC.

 

13.1         Plan
Does Not Restrict Corporation. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted under the Plan will not affect or restrict
in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of Corporation to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization, or other change in Corporation's capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of Corporation,
any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting Corporation's capital stock or the rights
thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or
any other corporate act or proceeding.

 

13.2         Mandatory
Adjustment. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, or other
distribution of Corporation's securities without the receipt of consideration by Corporation, of or on the Common Stock, the Committee
shall make proportionate adjustments or substitution to the aggregate number and type of Shares for which Awards may be granted
under the Plan, the maximum number and type of Shares which may be sold or awarded to any Participant, the number and type of Shares
covered by each outstanding Award, and the base price or purchase price per Share in respect of outstanding Awards.

 

13.3         Adjustments
by the Committee. In the event of any change in capitalization affecting the Common Stock of Corporation not described in Section
13.2 above, such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to reflect such
change, will be made with respect to the aggregate number of Shares for which Awards in respect thereof may be granted under the
Plan, the maximum number of Shares which may be sold or awarded to any Participant, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding
Award, and the base price or purchase price per Share in respect of outstanding Awards. The Committee may also make such adjustments
in the number of Shares covered by, and price or other value of, any outstanding Awards in the event of a spin-off or other distribution
(other than normal cash dividends), of Corporation assets to stockholders.

Article 14

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

14.1         Amendment
of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan; provided that the Plan will terminate
on May 27, 2020, if not terminated by the Board on an earlier date. Except as provided in Article 13, no amendment shall be effective
unless approved by the stockholders of the Corporation to the extent stockholder approval is required to satisfy any applicable
law or securities exchange listing requirements. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel,
whether such amendment will be contingent on stockholder approval.

 

14.2         Stockholder
Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, including,
but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation
paid to certain executive officers.

 

14.3         Contemplated
Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable
to provide Participants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Code Section 409A
or to bring the Plan or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

 

14.4         No
Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of
the Plan unless (a) the Corporation requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.
However, an amendment of the Plan that results in a cancellation of an Award where the Participant receives a payment equal in
value to the fair market value of the vested Award or, in the case of an Option, the difference between the Fair Market Value and
the exercise price for all Shares subject to the Option, shall not be an impairment of the Participant's rights that requires consent
of the Participant.

 

14.5         Amendment
of Awards. Subject to Section 14.6, the Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more
Awards; provided, however, that if any such amendment impairs a Participant's rights or increases a Participant's obligations under
his or her Award or creates or increases a Participant's federal income tax liability with respect to an Award, such amendment
shall also be subject to the Participant's consent (provided, however, a cancellation of an Award where the Participant receives
a payment equal in value to the fair market value of the vested Award or, in the case of vested Options, the difference between
the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Option and the exercise price, shall not constitute an impairment of the Participant's
rights that requires consent).

 

14.6         No
Repricings or Underwater Buyouts. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Article 13, without the prior approval of the Corporation’s
stockholders, no Option or SAR granted under the Plan may:

 

    	- 21 -

    	 

    

 

14.6.1           be
amended to decrease the exercise price (in the case of an Option) or base price (in the case of a SAR),

 

14.6.2           be
cancelled in exchange for the grant of any new Option or SAR with a lower exercise or base price or any other new Award, or

 

14.6.3           otherwise
be subject to any action that would be treated under accounting rules or otherwise as a "repricing" of such Option or
SAR (including a cash buyout or voluntary surrender/subsequent regrant of an underwater Option or SAR).

 

Article 15

MISCELLANEOUS

 

15.1        Tax
Withholding. Corporation has the right to deduct from any settlement of any Award under the Plan, including the delivery or
Vesting of Shares or Awards, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such
payments or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of Corporation to satisfy all obligations for the payment
of such taxes. The recipient of any payment or distribution under the Plan has the obligation to make arrangements satisfactory
to Corporation for the satisfaction of any such tax withholding obligations. Corporation will not be required to make any such
payment or distribution under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

 

15.2        Unfunded
Plan. The Plan will be unfunded and Corporation will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented
by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of Corporation to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan will be based solely
upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of Corporation will be deemed to
be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of Corporation.

 

15.3        Payments
to Trust. The Committee is authorized to cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements whereunder the
Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan.

 

15.4        Fractional
Shares. No fractional Shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered under the Plan or any Option and Options granted under
the Plan will not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares. In lieu of such fractional Shares, the Corporation will pay
an amount in cash equal to the same fraction using the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock.

 

15.5        Annulment
of Awards. Any Award Agreement may provide that the grant of an Award payable in cash is revocable until cash is paid in settlement
thereof or that grant of an Award payable in Shares is revocable until the Participant becomes entitled to the certificate in settlement
thereof. In the event a Participant's employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director,
or Consultant) terminates for cause (as defined below), any Award which is revocable will be annulled as of the date of such termination
for cause. For the purpose of this Section 15.5, the term "for cause" has the meaning set forth in the Participant's
employment agreement, if any, or otherwise means any discharge (or removal) for material or flagrant violation of the policies
and procedures of Corporation or for other performance or conduct which is materially detrimental to the best interests of Corporation,
as determined by the Committee.

 

    	- 22 -

    	 

    

 

15.6         Engaging
in Competition With Corporation. Any Award Agreement may provide that, if a Participant terminates employment (or service as
a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) with Corporation or a Subsidiary for any reason
whatsoever, and within a period of time (as specified in the Award Agreement) after the date thereof accepts employment with any
competitor of (or otherwise engages in competition with) Corporation, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Participant
to return to Corporation the economic value of any Award that is realized or obtained (measured at the date of exercise, Vesting,
or payment) by such Participant at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date of such
Participant's termination of employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant)
with Corporation.

 

15.7         Other
Corporation Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant
to the Plan are not to be deemed a part of a Participant's regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination indemnity
or severance pay law of any state or country and will not be included in, or have any effect on, the determination of benefits
under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by Corporation or a Subsidiary unless expressly so provided
by such other plan or arrangements, or except where the Committee expressly determines that an Award or portion of an Award should
be included to accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion
of cash compensation. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with or in tandem with, or as alternatives to, grants, awards,
or payments under any other Corporation or Subsidiary plans, arrangements, or programs. The Plan notwithstanding, Corporation or
any Subsidiary may adopt such other compensation programs and additional compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract,
retain, and reward employees and directors for their service with Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

 

15.8         Securities
Law Restrictions. No Shares may be issued under the Plan unless counsel for Corporation is satisfied that such issuance will
be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan may be subject
to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or registered securities association upon which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted, and any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Committee may cause a legend or
legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

15.9         Continuing
Restriction Agreement. Each Participant will, if requested by Corporation and as a condition to issuance of Shares under the
Plan upon an Award or exercise of an Award granted under the Plan that results in the issuance of Shares, become a party to and
be bound by a stock restriction or other agreement with Corporation containing restrictions on transfer of Shares, including a
right of first refusal for the benefit of Corporation, a market stand-off provision, and such other terms as Corporation may reasonably
require.

 

    	- 23 -

    	 

    

  

15.10         Governing
Law. Except with respect to references to the Code or federal securities laws, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder will
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws.

 Exhibit 10.1 

UNITED COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORP. 

2015 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

2015 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS GRANT AGREEMENT 

This Performance Share Unit Grant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
                    , 2015, (the “Grant Date”) by and between United Community Financial Corp., (the “Company”) and
                 (the “Grantee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the United Community Financial Corp. 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
pursuant to which Performance Share Units may be granted; and 
 WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the award of Performance Share Units provided for herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Target Award and Performance Period. The Company hereby grants to the
Grantee                  Performance Share Units (the “Target Award”). Each Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) represents the right to
receive one Common Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The actual number of Common Shares that the Grantee earns for the Performance Period will be determined by the level of achievement of the
Performance Goals in accordance with Section 2, and is referred to in this Agreement as the “Actual Award”. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 

The “Performance Period” shall be the period commencing on January 1, 2015, and ending on December 31, 2017. 

2. Performance Goals. 
 The Actual Award
that shall vest and be payable in Common Shares to the Grantee for the Performance Period will be determined at the end of the Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals listed below and the amount of the
Grantee’s average base salary for the Performance Period. All determinations of whether Performance Goals have been achieved, the adjustments attributed to changes in average base salary, the Actual Award earned by the Grantee, and all other
matters related to this Section 2 shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 Promptly following completion of the
Performance Period and no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the Performance Period), the Committee will review and certify in writing (a) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been
achieved, and (b) the number of Common Shares that the Grantee shall earn, if any, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 3. Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee, and on all other
persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

 Peer Group: 

The “Peer Group” includes the following eighteen (18) organizations: 

 

			
	BankFinancial Corp (BFIN)		Horizon Bancorp. (HBNC)
	Farmers National Banc Corp (FMNB)		Lakeland Financial Corporation (LKFN)
	Farmers & Merchants Bancorp (FMAO)		LCNB Bancorp Inc. (LCNB)
	First Busey (BUSE)		MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (MSFG)
	First Defiance Financial Corp. (FDEF)		Mercantile Bank Corp. (MBWM)
	Civista Bancshares, Inc. (CIVB)		Mutualfirst Financial Inc. (MFSF)
	First Financial Corporation (THFF)		Peoples Bancorp Inc. (PEBO)
	First Mid-Illinois Bancshares (FMBH)		QCR Holdings, Inc. (QCRH)
	German American Bancorp Inc. (GABC)		Star Financial Group, Inc. (SFIGA)

 The Committee maintains discretion to amend, modify and replace one or more members of the Peer Group when
events warrant, such as in the event that a peer group member ceases to be a reporting company or is acquired and in other similar circumstances. 

Performance Measures, Weightings, Goals, and Payout Calibration: 

The performance measures are: 
  

	 	•	 	3-year average ROE will be weighted 33% and be evaluated relative to Peer Group performance; 

  

	 	•	 	3-year cumulative Net Income will be weighted 33% and be evaluated relative to the Company’s annual budgeted net income for each of the three (3) years comprising the Performance Period, using annual budgeted
Net Income for each of the three years as the goal; and 

  

	 	•	 	3-year relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) will be weighted 34% and be evaluated relative to the Peer Group. 

The table below sets forth the three performance measures, their respective weighting, how performance on each measure will be evaluated
(relative to peers or relative to plan) and the goals for threshold performance, target performance and superior performance. Achievement of the target performance goal will result in 100% of target payout for the respective measure, while
achievement of the superior performance goal will result in 150% of the target payout for the measure. Payouts for performance between threshold and target, or between target and superior, will be interpolated.

	1 	Note that payouts will be interpolated for performance between discrete points. For example, performance at the 65th percentile of the Peer Group will result in a
payout of 130% of target for the measure; performance at the 30th percentile of peers will result in a payout of 20% of target. 

Definitions: 
  

	 	•	 	3-year Average ROE: Return on average equity, averaged over 12 quarters from 1Q15 through 4Q17; 

  

	 	•	 	3-year Cumulative Net Income: Cumulative GAAP Net Income excluding extraordinary items for the Performance Period; 

  

	 	•	 	Total Shareholder Return: stock price appreciation, plus reinvested dividends. 

 The Committee
maintains flexibility and discretion to adjust measure definitions, if such adjustments ensure a more accurate comparison relative to the Peer Group and/or more appropriately reflect the goals of the Plan and the Company’s compensation
philosophy. 
 3. Vesting of PSUs. The PSUs are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the PSUs will vest and
become nonforfeitable on the date of performance certification, subject to (a) the achievement of the minimum threshold Performance Goals for payout set forth in Section 2, and (b) the Grantee’s Continuous Service from the Grant
Date through on the date of performance certification. The Actual Award earned upon PSU vesting shall be determined by the Committee based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Section 2 and shall be rounded to the
nearest whole Common Share. “Continuous Service” means that the Grantee’s service with the Company as an Employee is not terminated. 
 4.
Termination of Continuous Service. 
 4.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Grantee’s Continuous
Service terminates for any reason at any time before all of his or her PSUs have vested, the Grantee’s unvested PSUs shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of Continuous Service and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall
have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Agreement. 
 4.2 Notwithstanding Section 4.1: 

(a) If the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates during the Performance Period as a result of the Grantee’s death or Disability,
all of the outstanding PSUs will vest in accordance with Section 3, and further provided that the amount to be paid shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section 2, as if the Grantee’s Continuous Service had not terminated;
and 

  
 3 

 (b) If the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates during the Performance Period as a result
of Retirement, termination by the Company without Cause, or termination by the Grantee for Good Reason, a pro-rata portion of the outstanding PSUs shall vest in proportion to the number of months, including any partial month, elapsed in the
Performance Period divided by 36, and further provided that the amount to be paid shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section 2. 

“Good Reason” means the definition of “Good Reason” set forth in the Grantee’s employment agreement,
or in the absence thereof, “Good Reason” means: 
 (a) a material reduction in the Grantee’s rate of base salary; or 

(b) the Company changes by fifty (50) miles or more the principal location in which the Grantee is required to perform services; or 

(c) the Company terminates, materially amends or materially restricts the Grantee’s participation in, any equity, bonus or equity-based
compensation plans or qualified or supplemental retirement plans so that, when considered in the aggregate with any substitute plan or plans, the plans in which the Grantee is participating materially fail to provide him or her with a level of
benefits provided in the aggregate by such plans prior to such termination or amendment; or 
 (d) the Company materially breaches the
provisions of this Agreement. 
 A termination of the Grantee’s employment shall not be deemed to be for Good Reason unless
(i) the Grantee gives notice to the Company of the existence of the event or condition constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days after such event or condition initially occurs or exists, (ii) the Company fails to cure such
event or condition within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, and (iii) the Grantee’s termination occurs not later than ninety (90) days after such event or condition initially occurs or exists, in each case without the
Grantee’s written consent. 
 5. Effect of a Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control during the Performance Period, all outstanding
PSUs shall be earned and vest at Target Award levels for open years in the Performance period and in the manner set forth in Section 2 for any closed years in the Performance Period, on the effective date of the Change in Control and shall be
paid no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of such Change in Control. 
 6. Payment of PSUs. Payment in respect of the PSUs
earned for the Performance Period shall be made in Common Shares and shall be issued to the Grantee as soon as practicable following the later of the vesting date or the end of the Performance Period and in any event not later than two and one-half
(2-1/2) months following the end of the year in which the vesting date or the end of the Performance Period occurs. The Company shall (a) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of Common Shares equal to the number of vested PSUs, and
(b) enter the Grantee’s name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the Common Shares delivered to the Grantee. 

7. Transferability. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, the PSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned,
alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or 

  
 4 

 
encumbered by the Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and upon any such transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the transferee shall hold such PSUs
subject to all of the terms and conditions that were applicable to the Grantee immediately prior to such transfer. 
 8. Rights as Shareholder; Dividend
Equivalents. 
 8.1 The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Common Shares underlying the PSUs,
including voting rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Common Shares underlying the PSUs, if any, paid prior to the certification date, whether in cash or in the form of additional Company Common Shares, shall accrue and be
deferred and subject to forfeiture if the PSUs granted hereby do not vest with the Grantee on the certification date; then paid in cash or shares as applicable, subject to adjustment based upon the Actual Award paid to the Grantee. 

8.2 Upon and following the vesting of the PSUs and the issuance of Common Shares, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the Common Shares
underlying the PSUs unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting and dividend rights). 

9. No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an
Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause. 

10. Adjustments. On any change in the number or kind of outstanding Common Shares of the Company by reason of recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, separation, liquidation, share split, share dividend, combination of shares or any other change in the corporate structure or Common Shares of the Company, the Company, by action of the Committee, is empowered to make such
adjustment, if any, in the number and kind of PSUs subject to this Agreement as it considers appropriate for the protection of the Company and of the Grantee. 

11. Tax Liability and Withholding. 
 11.1
The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the Common Shares and to
take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Committee may permit the Grantee to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the
following means, or by a combination of such means: 
 (a) tendering a cash payment; 

(b) authorizing the Company to withhold Common Shares from the Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of
the vesting of the Common Shares; provided, however, that no Common Shares shall be withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or 

(c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Common Shares. 

11.2 Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related
withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the Common Shares or the subsequent sale of any shares, and (b) does not commit to structure the Common Shares to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for
Tax-Related Items. 

  
 5 

 12. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of Common Shares in connection with the PSUs shall be
subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Shares may be listed. No Common
Shares shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. 

13. Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Secretary of the Company
at the Company’s principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Grantee under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as shown in the records of the Company. Either
party may designate another address in writing (or by such other method approved by the Company) from time to time. 
 14. Governing Law. This
Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflict of law principles. 
 15.
Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Grantee
and the Company. 
 16. PSUs Subject to Plan. The Performance Share Units are in all respects subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Agreement and the Plan. 
 17. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and
the person(s) to whom the PSUs may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution. 
 18. Severability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and
enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 6 

 19. Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by
the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the PSUs in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any PSUs or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the
Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Company. 

20. Amendment. The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the PSUs, prospectively or retroactively; provided
that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Grantee’s material rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent. 
 21.
Section 162(m). All payments under this Agreement are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. This Award shall be construed and administered in a
manner consistent with such intent. 
 22. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption
thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be
incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 23. No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the
Grantee’s PSUs is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit. 

24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and
pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature. 
 25.
Acceptance. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the PSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan
and this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting or settlement of the PSUs or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Grantee has been advised to consult a tax advisor prior to such
vesting, settlement or disposition. 
 26. Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, all payments made to the
Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to recovery, deduction or clawback (collectively, “Clawback”) under any law, regulation, stock exchange listing requirement requiring Clawback and under the Company’s Compensation
Adjustment and Recoupment Policy (adopted by the Board on March 17, 2015), as may be amended from time to time.
