Plan is to provide management and highly compensated employees of the Employers with the option to defer the receipt of a portion of their regular compensation, bonuses or performance shares payable for services rendered to the Employer. In
addition, the Plan contains as Annex A a Management Share Acquisition Program (the “MSAP”), the purpose of which is to provide designated management employees with the opportunity to make deferred purchases of shares of the Company’s

stock through investment of all or a portion of their Deferral Accounts under the Plan. In order to encourage participation in the OSAP, the Company will provide matching grants for such elections. The OSAP shall be subject to the special terms and
conditions specified in Annex B. It is intended that the Plan will assist in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as officers and key managers of the Employers. The Plan, originally effective as of June 1,1989, as amended, is

BENEFIT ACCOUNTS 
 5.1 Investment of Deferral and Matching Accounts. As soon as practicable after the crediting of any amount to a Participant’s Deferral Account or Matching Account, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, direct that the Company invest the amount credited, in whole or in part, in such property (real, personal, tangible or intangible), other than securities of the Company, (collectively the “Investments”), as the Committee shall

practicable, in the manner provided above. The Company shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of all Investments, and all contracts and other evidences of the Investments shall be registered in the name of the Company. The Company, under the
direction of the Committee, shall have the unrestricted right to sell any of the Investments included in any Participant’s Deferral Account or Matching Account, and the unrestricted right to reinvest the proceeds of the

sale in other Investments or to credit the proceeds of the sale to a Participant’s Deferral Account or Matching Account as cash. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account or
Matching Account that are not invested in Investments shall be credited to a Participant’s Account as cash. 
 5.2
Determination of Account. As of each Determination Date, a Participant’s Account shall consist of the following: (i) the balance of the Participant’s Account as of the immediately preceding Determination Date, plus
(ii) the Participant’s deferred Compensation, Matching Amounts, deferred Cash Awards and Employment Agreement Contribution (if any) credited pursuant to Section 4.4 since the immediately preceding Determination Date and any earnings
and/or income credited to such amounts pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.3 as of such Determination Date, minus (iii) any losses or other diminution in the value of assets in such Account since the immediately preceding Determination Date, minus
(iv) the aggregate amount of distributions, if any, made from such Participant’s Account since the immediately preceding Determination Date. 
 5.3 Crediting of Interest. As of each Determination Date, the amounts credited to a Participant’s Account as cash shall be increased by the amount of interest earned since the immediately
preceding Determination Date. Interest shall be credited at the Declared Rate as of such Determination Date based on the balance of the cash amounts credited to the Account since the immediately preceding Determination Date, but after such Account
has been adjusted for any contributions or distributions to be credited or deducted for such period. Interest for the period prior to the first Determination Date applicable to a Participant’s Account shall be deemed earned ratably over such
period. 
 5.4 Determination of Deferred Share Award Account. On any particular date, a Participant’s Deferred Share
Award Account shall consist of the aggregate number of Units credited thereto pursuant to Section 4.6, plus any dividend equivalents credited pursuant to Section 5.5, minus the aggregate amount of distributions, if any, made from such
Deferred Share Award Account.

credited, as of the payment date of any cash dividend paid on Shares, with additional Units equal in value to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company on that number of Shares equivalent to the Units in such Deferred Share Award Account on
such payment date. Such dividend equivalents shall be valued using Fair Market Value. A Participant may elect to convert the Units representing such dividend equivalents to cash to be credited to his or her Deferral Account by filing a written
notice thereof with the Committee, which shall be effective only with respect to cash dividends paid after the Plan Year in which such notice is filed with the Committee. Until a Participant or his or her Beneficiary receives his or her entire
Deferred Share Award Account, the unpaid balance thereof credited in Units shall earn dividend equivalents as provided in this Section 5.5, except as provided in Section 6.4(c).

Account and Deferred Share Award Account and shall provide to each Participant, within 120 days after the close of each Plan Year, a written statement setting forth a description of the Investments and Units in such Participant’s Account and

  
 9 

 
Deferred Share Award Account and the cash balance, if any, of such Participant’s Account, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year and showing all adjustments made thereto during such

 ARTICLE VI 
 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 

6.1 Payment of Deferral Benefit on Termination of Service or Death. Upon the earlier of (i) termination of service of the
Participant as an employee of the Employer and all Selected Affiliates, for reasons other than death, or (ii) the death of a Participant, the Employer shall, in accordance with this Article VI, pay to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary,
as the case may be, a Deferral Benefit equal to the balance of his or her vested Account determined pursuant to Article V, less any amounts previously distributed; provided, however, that the Participant may by written notice filed with the
Committee at least one (1) year prior to the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment with, or retirement from, the Company and any affiliate of the Company, whether or not such affiliate is a Selected Affiliate, elect to defer
commencement of the payment of his or her Deferral Benefit until a date selected in such election. Any such election may be changed by the Participant at any time and from time to time without the consent of any other person by filing a later signed
written election with the Committee; provided that any election made less than one (1) year prior to the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment or retirement shall not be valid, and in such case payment shall be made in
accordance with the Participant’s prior election, or otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.1. 
 6.2 Payment of Deferred Share Award Benefit on Termination of Service or Death. Upon the earlier of (i) termination of service of the Participant as an employee of the Employer and all
Selected Affiliates, for reasons other than death, or (ii) the death of a Participant, the Employer shall, in accordance with this Article VI, pay to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, a Deferred Share Award Benefit
equal to the balance of the Units in his or her Deferred Share Award Account determined pursuant to Article V, less any amounts previously distributed. 
 6.3 Emergency Benefit. In the event that the Committee, upon written petition of a Participant, determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant has suffered an unforeseeable financial
emergency, the Employer shall pay to the Participant, as soon as practicable following such determination, an amount necessary to meet the emergency (the “Emergency Benefit”), but not exceeding the aggregate balance of such
Participant’s vested Deferral Account, Matching Account and Deferred Share Award Account as of the date of such payment. For purposes of this Section 6.3, an “unforeseeable financial emergency” shall mean an unexpected need for
cash arising from an illness, disability, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal or other such unforeseeable occurrence. Cash needs arising from foreseeable events such as the purchase of a house or education expenses for children shall not be
considered to be 

  
 10 

 
the result of an unforeseeable financial emergency. The amount of the Deferral Benefit and Deferred Share Award Benefit otherwise payable under the Plan to such Participant shall be adjusted to
reflect the early payment of the Emergency Benefit. 
 6.4 In-Service Distribution. 

(a) A Participant may elect to receive an in-service distribution of his or her deferred Compensation, Matching Amount and
earnings thereon with respect to a Plan Year beginning at any time at least four years after the date such Compensation otherwise would have been first payable. A Participant’s election for an in-service distribution from his or her Account
with respect to a Plan Year shall be filed in writing with the Committee before the first day of the Plan Year in which his or her deferred Compensation otherwise would have been first payable. The Participant may elect to receive an in-service
distribution as provided in Section 6.5(a); provided, however, that Section 6.5(c) shall not apply to an in-service distribution. Any Deferral Benefit paid to the Participant as an in-service distribution shall reduce the amount of
Deferral Benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan. 
 (b) A Participant may elect to receive
an in-service distribution of his or her deferred Share Award and earnings with respect to a Plan Year beginning at any time at least four (4) years after the date such deferred Share Award otherwise would have been first payable. A
Participant’s election for an in-service distribution from his or her Deferred Share Award Account with respect to a Plan Year shall be filed in writing with the Committee not later than during the second Plan Year preceding the date the Share
Award otherwise would have been first payable. The Participant may elect to receive such Deferred Share Award Benefit as an in-service distribution as provided in Section 6.5(b); provided, however, that Section 6.5(c) of the Plan shall not
apply to such an in-service distribution. Any Deferred Share Award Benefit paid to the Participant as an in-service distribution shall reduce the amount of Deferred Share Award Benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan. 

(c) A Participant may elect to receive an in-service distribution of his or her deferred Cash Award and earnings with a
respect to a Plan Year beginning at any time at least four (4) years after the date such deferred Cash Award otherwise would have been first payable. A Participant’s election for an in-service distribution from his or her Account with
respect to a Cash Award for a Plan Year shall be filed in writing with the Committee not later during the second Plan Year preceding the date the Cash Award otherwise would have been first payable. The Participant may elect to receive such Deferral
Benefit as an in-service distribution as provided in Section 6.5(a); provided, however, that Section 6.5(c) shall not apply to such an in-service distribution. Any Deferral Benefit paid to the Participant is an in-service distribution
shall reduce the amount of Deferral Benefits otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan. 
 (d) A
Participant may elect to receive an in-service distribution of a Cash Dividend Benefit equal to the amount of the dividend equivalent to be credited to his or her Deferred Share Award Account pursuant to Section 5.5 as of the payment date of a
cash dividend on Shares. A Participant’s election for a Cash Dividend Benefit shall be 

  
 11 

 
filed in writing with the Committee not later than during the second Plan Year preceding the date the dividend equivalent otherwise would be so credited to his or her Deferred Share Award
Account. 
 6.5 Form of Payment. 
 (a) The Deferral Benefit payable pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(c) shall be paid in one of the following forms, as elected by the Participant in his or her Participation
Agreement or by written notice as provided in subsection (c)below: 
 (1) Annual payments of a fixed amount
which shall amortize the vested Account balance, or the in-service distribution portion thereof, as of the payment commencement date elected by the Participant over a period not to exceed fifteen years (together, in the case of each payment, with
earnings thereon credited after the payment commencement date pursuant to Article V). 
 (2) A lump sum.

 (3) A combination of (l) and (2) above. The Participant shall designate the percentage payable under
each option. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, at any time, direct that installment payments under
(1) or (3) above shall be made quarterly. 
 (b) The Deferred Share Award Benefit payable pursuant to
Section 6.2 or Section 6.4(b) shall be paid in whole Shares plus cash equal in value to any fractional Share in one of the forms set forth in Section 6.5(a), without interest, but with dividend equivalents reinvested as provided in
Section 5.5; subject, however, to Section 6.4(d). For the purpose of this Section 6.5(b), each distribution from a Deferred Share Award Account shall be valued on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date prior to
the date payment of such distribution is made. 
 (c) The Participant’s election of the form of payment
shall be made by written notice filed with the Committee at least one (1) year prior to the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment with, or retirement from, the Company and any affiliate of the Company, whether or not such
affiliate is a Selected Affiliate. Any such election may be changed by the Participant at any time and from time to time without the consent of any other person by filing a later signed written election with the Committee; provided that any election
made less than one (1) year prior to the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment or retirement shall not be valid, and in such case payment shall be made in accordance with the Participant’s prior election; and provided,
further, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive such one (1) year period upon a request of the Participant made while an active or inactive employee of the Company. 

(d) The amount of each installment under Section 6.5(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
Participant’s Account balance as of the date of such installment payment by the number of installment payments remaining to be made to or in respect of such Participant at the time of calculation. 

  
 12 

 (e) The Cash Dividend Benefit payable pursuant to Section 6.4(c) shall
be in the form of a lump sum. 
 (f) If a Participant fails to make an election with respect to his or her
Account in a timely manner as provided in this Section 6.4, distribution shall be made in ten (10) annual installments of cash or Shares, as applicable. 

(g) A Participant’s Deferral Benefit and Deferred Share Award Benefit (or the remaining portions thereof if payment
to the Participant had commenced) shall be distributed to his or her Beneficiary in the form of a single lump sum payment following his or her death. 
 6.6 Commencement of Payments. Commencement of payments under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of the Plan shall begin as soon as practicable, and in accordance with the payment commencement
date elected by the Participant, following receipt of notice by the Committee of an event which entitles a Participant (or a Beneficiary) to payments under the Plan. 
 6.7 Special Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI except as provided in Section 6.9, a Participant, whether or not in pay status, may elect to receive a

pursuant to such an election shall be made within 60 days of the date such election is submitted to the Committee. The remaining six percent (6%) of the portion of the electing Participant’s account subject to such distribution shall be
forfeited. 
 6.8 Small Benefit. In the event the Committee determines that the balance of the Participant’s Account
and Deferred Share Award Account is less than $50,000 at the time of commencement of payments, the Employer may pay the benefit in the form of a lump sum payment, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. Such lump sum payment shall
be equal to the balance of the Participant’s Account, or the portion thereof payable to a beneficiary. 
 6.9 Change in
Control Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, including Annex A and Annex B, in the event of a Change in Control the balances in each Participant’s accounts shall become nonforfeitable and shall be distributed in a
single sum in cash and/or Common Shares within three (3) business days after such Change in Control. 
 ARTICLE VII

 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
 7.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as his or her Beneficiary to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the
event of his or her death prior to complete distribution to the 

  
 13 

 
Participant of his or her Deferral Benefit or Deferred Share Award Benefit. Any Beneficiary designation shall be made in a written instrument filed with Committee and shall be effective only when
received in writing by the Committee. 
 7.2 Amendments. Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant by
the filing of a new Beneficiary designation, which will cancel all Beneficiary designations previously filed. 
 7.3 No
Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s
estate. 
 7.4 Effect of Payment. Payment to a Participant’s Beneficiary (or, upon the death of a Beneficiary, to
the Beneficiary’s estate) shall completely discharge the Employer’s obligations under the Plan. 
 ARTICLE VIII

 ADMINISTRATION 
 8.1 Committee. The administrative committee for the Plan (the “Committee”) shall be those members of the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board who are not Participants, as
long as there are at least three such members. If there are not at least three such non-participating persons on the Compensation Committee, the chief executive officer of the Company shall appoint other non-participating Directors or Company
officers to serve on the Committee. The Committee shall supervise the administration and operation of the Plan, may from time to time adopt rules and procedures governing the Plan and shall have authority to construe and interpret the Plan
(including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies and ambiguities in, the language of the Plan). 
 8.2 Agents. The Committee may appoint an individual, who may be an employee of the Company, to be the Committee’s agent with respect to the day-to-day administration of the Plan. In addition,
the Committee may, from time to time, employ other agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company. 

8.3 Binding Effect of Decisions. Any decision or action of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan shall be final and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act with respect to the Plan, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by any such member or agent of the Committee. 

  
 14 

 ARTICLE IX 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 9.1 Amendment. The Company, on
behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate may at any time amend, suspend or reinstate any or all of the provisions of the Plan, except that no such amendment, suspension or reinstatement may adversely affect any Participant’s Account or
Deferred Share Award Account, as it existed as of the effective date of such amendment, suspension or reinstatement, without such Participant’s prior written consent. Written notice of any amendment or other action with respect to the Plan
shall be given to each Participant. 
 9.2 Termination. The Company, on behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate,
in its sole discretion, may terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee shall take those actions necessary to administer any Accounts or Deferred Share Award Accounts existing prior to
the effective date of such termination; provided, however, that a termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect the value of a Participant’s Account or Deferred Share Award Account, the earnings from Investments credited to a
Participant’s Account under Section 5.1, the interest on cash amounts credited to a Participant’s Account under Section 5.3, the crediting of dividend equivalents to a Participant’s Deferred Share Award Account under
Section 5.5, or the timing or method of distribution of a Participant’s Account, or Deferred Share Award Account, without the Participant’s prior written consent. 

ARTICLE X 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Funding. Participants, their Beneficiaries, and their heirs, successors and assigns, shall have no secured interest or claim in any property or assets of the Employer. The Employer’s
obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Employer to pay money in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the Company shall create an irrevocable trust to hold
funds to be used in payment of the obligations of Employers under the Plan, and the Company shall fund such trust in an amount equal to no less than the total value of the Participants’ Accounts or Deferred Share Award Accounts under the Plan
as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the Change in Control, provided that any funds contained therein shall remain liable for the claims of the respective Employer’s general creditors. 

10.2 Nonassignability. No right or interest under the Plan of a Participant or his or her Beneficiary (or any person claiming
through or under any of them), other than the surviving spouse of any deceased Participant, shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any
manner be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of any such Participant or Beneficiary. If any Participant or Beneficiary (other than the surviving spouse of any deceased Participant) shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate,
anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his or her benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her 

  
 15 

 
bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him or her, then the Committee, in its discretion, may terminate his or her
interest in any such benefit to the extent the Committee considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a written “termination declaration” with the Secretary of
the Company and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to the Participant or Beneficiary whose interest is adversely affected (the “Terminated Participant”). 
 As long as the Terminated Participant is alive, any benefits affected by the termination shall be retained by the Employer and, in the Committee’s sole and absolute judgment, may be paid to or
expended for the benefit of the Terminated Participant, his or her spouse, his or her children or any other person or persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner as the Committee shall deem proper. Upon the death of the Terminated
Participant, all benefits withheld from him or her and not paid to others in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be disposed of according to the provisions of the Plan that would apply if he or she died prior to the time that all benefits
to which he or she was entitled were paid to him or her. 
 10.3 Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company
and each Selected Affiliate that following a Change in Control no Eligible Employee or former Eligible Employee be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of his or her rights under this Plan by litigation or other legal
action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to an Eligible Employee hereunder. Accordingly, if it should appear that the Employer has failed to comply with any of its obligations
under this Plan or in the event that the Employer or any other person takes any action to declare this Plan void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation designed to deny, or to recover from, the Eligible Employee the benefits intended to be
provided to such Eligible Employee hereunder, the Employer irrevocably authorizes such Eligible Employee from time to time to retain counsel of his or her choice, at the expense of the Employer as hereafter provided, to represent such Eligible
Employee in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Employer or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Employer in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding
any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Employer and such counsel, the Employer irrevocably consents to such Eligible Employee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the
Employer and such Eligible Employee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between such Eligible Employee and such counsel. The Employer shall pay and be solely responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses
incurred by such Eligible Employee as a result of the Employer’s failure to perform under this Plan or any provision thereof; or as a result of the Employer or any person contesting the validity or enforceability of this Plan or any provision
thereof. 
 10.4 Withholding Taxes. If the Employer is required to withhold any taxes or other amounts from a
Participant’s deferred Compensation, Employment Agreement Contribution, deferred Cash Award or deferred Share Award pursuant to any state, federal or local law, such amounts shall, to the extent possible, be withheld from the Participant’s
Compensation, Cash Award or Share Award before such amounts are credited under the Plan. Any additional withholding amount required shall be paid by the Participant to the Employer as a 

  
 16 

 condition to the crediting of deferred Compensation, deferred Cash Award or deferred Share Award to the
Participant’s Account and Deferred Share Award Account, respectively. The Employer shall may withhold any required state, federal or local taxes or other amounts from any benefits payable in cash or Shares to a Participant or Beneficiary.

 10.5 Captions. The captions contained herein are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction hereof. 
 10.6 Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to
the laws of the State of Ohio. 
 10.7 Successors. The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Company, its selected Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquire all
or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company or a Selected Affiliate and successors of any such corporation or other business entity. 
 10.8 Right to Continued Service. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon any Eligible Employee the right to continue to serve as an Eligible Employee of the Employer or in any
other capacity. 
 10.9 Prior Plan Provisions. The provisions of the Plan in effect prior to January 1,2000 shall
govern periods prior to such date. 
 Executed this 19th day of July, 2000.

ARTICLE VI 

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS 
 A 6.1 Establishment of Accounts. The Company, through its accounting records, shall establish a Deferred Shares Account and a Cash Account, and, as necessary, a Matching Shares Account for each
Participant who elects to defer a Bonus as provided in Section A 4.1. 
 A 6.2 Crediting of Deferral Commitments and Matching
Contributions. The portion of a Participant’s Bonus that is deferred pursuant to a Deferral Commitment and any related matching contribution under Section A 5.1(a) shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferred Shares Account and
Matching Shares Account, respectively, as of the date the corresponding non-deferred portion of the Bonus would have been paid to the Participant; provided, however, that the portion of a Participant’s Bonus that is deferred pursuant to Section
A 4.2 shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date the Bonus would have been paid to the Participant absent the application of Section A 4.2. As of such payment date, (i) the credits to each Participant’s Deferred
Shares Account for each such payment date, shall be deemed invested in a number of whole Deferred Shares determined by dividing such credits by the Fair Market Value for such date, and (ii) the credits for such date to each Participant’s
Matching Shares Account shall be deemed invested in a number of whole Matching Shares determined by dividing such credits by the Fair Market Value for such date. Fractional Shares shall be credited to the Cash Account. 

A 6.3 Determination of Accounts. 
 (a) The balance credited to each Participant’s Account as of a particular date shall equal the amount credited pursuant to Section A 6.2, and shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section A
6.4.

 (b) The Company through its accounting records, shall maintain a separate and distinct
record of the amount in each Account as adjusted to reflect income and distributions. 
 A 6.4 Adjustments to Accounts.

 (a) (i) Each Account shall be credited, as of the payment date of any cash dividend paid on Shares, with additional Deferred
Shares and Matching Shares equal in value to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company on that number of Shares equivalent to the respective number of Deferred Shares and Matching Shares in such Account on such payment date. The dividend
equivalents shall be calculated by dividing the dollar value of such dividend equivalents by the Fair Market Value at the dividend payment date. Fractional Shares shall be credited to the Cash Account. 

(ii) A Participant may elect to convert the Deferred Shares representing a portion of such dividend equivalents to cash
to be credited to his or her Cash Account by filing a written notice thereof with the Committee, which shall be effective only with respect to cash dividends paid after the Plan Year in which such notice is filed with the Committee. As of each
Determination Date, Cash Accounts shall be increased by the amount of interest earned since the immediately preceding Determination Date. Interest shall be credited at the Declared Rate as of such Determination Date based on the balance of the cash
amounts credited to the Cash Account since the immediately preceding Determination Date, but after such Cash Account has been adjusted for any contributions or distributions to be credited or deducted for such period. Interest for the period prior
to the first Determination Date applicable to a Participant’s Cash Account shall be deemed earned ratably over such period. Until a Participant or his or her Beneficiary receives his or her entire Account, the unpaid balance thereof credited in
Deferred Shares and Matching Shares shall be credited with dividend equivalents as provided in this Subsection, except as provided in Section A7.2. 
 (b) Each Participant’s Account shall be immediately debited with the amount of any distributions under Article VIII to or on behalf of the Participant or, in the event of his or her death, his or her
Beneficiary. 
 A 6.5 Statement of Accounts. As soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, a statement
shall be furnished to each Participant or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary showing the status of his or her Account as of the end of the calendar quarter, any changes in his or her Account since the end of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter, and such other information as the Committee shall determine. 
 A 6.6 Vesting of Accounts.

 (a) Except as provided in Section A 6.7, each Participant shall at all times have a nonforfeitable interest in his or her
Deferred Shares Account balance and his or her Cash Account balance. 
 (b) Matching Shares attributable to credits pursuant to
Section A 5.1(a) in a Participant’s Matching Shares Account with respect to a Plan Year, and additional Matching Shares attributable to dividend credits with respect to such Matching Shares pursuant to Section A 6.4(a)(i), Shall become
nonforfeitable as of the fifth anniversary of the crediting of the Matching Shares pursuant to Section A 5.1(a) (the “vesting period”), provided that: 

  
 A-4

 (i) the Participant has remained in the continuous employ of the Company or
a Selected Affiliate during the applicable vesting period; and 
 (ii) the Participant, during the applicable
vesting period, does not receive a distribution of deemed Shares credited to his or her Deferred Shares Account as the result of the deferral by the Participant of the Bonus which relates to the crediting of the Matching Shares pursuant to Section A
5.1(a). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (b) of this Section, the nonvested portion of a
Participant’s Account will become immediately nonforfeitable in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, or upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. 

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (b) of this Section, the nonvested portion of a Participant’s Account will
become nonforfeitable in the event of the Participant’s Retirement, provided that the Participant does not elect a distribution from the MSAP of the Shares attributable to the Deferred Shares relating to the nonvested Matching Shares until the
fifth anniversary of the applicable date of issuance. 
 (e) Any portion of an Account as to which the requirements of
Subsections (b), (c) or (d) of this Section have not been satisfied shall be forfeited, unless the Committee determines otherwise. 
 (f) For purposes of this Section, the continuous employment of a Participant with the Company or a Selected Affiliate shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Participant will not be deemed
to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Selected Affiliate, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its Selected Affiliates or of an approved leave or absence. 

A 6.7 Special Rule for Valuation of Deferred Share Account. Anything in the MSAP or the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event any Matching Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section A 6.6, or any restricted shares are forfeited under the restricted share agreement entered into pursuant to Section A 5.1(b), then the value of the Deferred Shares in the Deferred

the Committee not later than during the second Plan Year preceding the date the dividend equivalent otherwise would be so credited to his or her Account.

Valuation of Deferred Share Account. Anything in the OSAP or the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any Matching Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section B 6.6, or any restricted shares are forfeited under the restricted share
agreement entered into pursuant to Section B 5.1(b), then the value of the Investment Shares in the Investment Shares Account to which such Matching Shares or restricted shares, as the case may be, are attributable shall be deemed to be the lesser
of (a) the then Fair Market Value of such Investment Shares, or (b) the value of the investment used to acquire such Investment Shares plus interest at the Declared Rate as if the cash balance was credited with interest pursuant to
