ceases to be a Director.

 

 

2. Election to Defer. (i) A Director who desires to defer the payment of all or
a portion of his or her Fees for any Year must complete and deliver an Election Agreement to the
Secretary of the Company before the first day of the first Year of service for which such Fees are
payable. A Director who timely delivers an Election Agreement to the Secretary of the Company
shall be a Participant.

           (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of Subsection (i), any Director hereafter
elected to the Board of Directors of the Company who was not a Director on the preceding
December 31 may make an election to defer payment of Fees with respect to services performed
subsequent to the filing of the Election Agreement by delivering the Election Agreement to
the Secretary of the Company within thirty (30) days of such election.

           (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of Subsection (i), with respect to any
“performance-based” compensation (as determined by the Company in accordance with Section
409A of the Code) based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months a
Participant may complete and deliver an Election Agreement to the Secretary of the Company no
later than six months before the end of such period.

           (iv) An Election Agreement, once timely delivered, shall be effective for all Fees for
the succeeding Year and, except as otherwise specified by a Director in his or her Election
Agreement, shall continue to be effective from Year to Year until terminated or modified by
written notice to the Secretary of the Company. Except as provided for in the below
provisions of Subsection (v), in order to be effective to revoke or modify an election to
defer fees otherwise payable in any particular Year, a revocation or modification must be
delivered prior to the date that an initial election would be required to be delivered under
either Subsection (i) or Subsection (iii) above.

           (v) Subject to the approval of the Company, a Participant may make a subsequent
election requesting a change in the period of deferral (subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 3 of this Article) and/or the form of payment (subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 5). Such subsequent election must meet all of the following
requirements and shall be in writing on a form provided by the Company:

     (a) the subsequent election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after
the date on which such amendment is made;

     (b) in the case of a subsequent election related to a payment not made on account
of the Participant’s death or an Unforeseeable Emergency, the first payment with
respect to which the amendment is made shall in all cases be deferred for a period of
not less then 5 years from the date on which such payment otherwise would have been
made;

     (c) in the case of a subsequent election related to a payment that is to be made
at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, such an amendment of the election
must be made at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment.

3. Amount Deferred; Period of Deferral. A Participant shall designate on the
Election Agreement the percentage of his or her Fees that are to be deferred. That percentage of
Fees shall be deferred until the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Participant ceases to be a
Director, whether by death, retirement or otherwise, or (ii) the date specified by the Participant,
at which time payment of the amount deferred shall be made in accordance with Section 5 or 6 of
this Article.

4. Account; Earnings. The percentage of Fees which a Participant elects to defer
shall be treated as if it were set aside in an Account on the date the Fees would otherwise have
been paid to the Participant. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with gains, losses and
earnings based on hypothetical investment directions made by the Participant, in accordance with
investment deferral crediting options and procedures adopted by the Committee from time to time. A
Participant may change such hypothetical investment directions pursuant to such procedures adopted
by the Committee from time to time. The Company specifically retains the right in its sole
discretion to change the investment deferral crediting options and procedures from time to time.
By electing to defer any amount pursuant to the Plan, each Participant shall thereby acknowledge
and agree that the Company is not and shall not be required to make any investment in connection
with the Plan, nor is it required to follow the Participant’s hypothetical investment directions in
any actual investment it may make or acquire in connection with the Plan or in determining the
amount of any actual or contingent liability or obligation of the Company thereunder or relating
thereto. Any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account with respect to which a Participant does
not provide investment direction shall be credited with earnings in an amount determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion or, if an amount is not so determined, such amounts shall bear
interest at Moody’s Seasoned Bond Rate plus 3% until further ordered by the Committee or the Board
of Directors. A Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as of each business day, except that
interest, if any, for a calendar quarter shall be credited on the first day of the following
quarter.

5. Payment of Account. The amount of a Participant’s Account shall be paid to
the Participant in a lump sum or in a number of approximately equal quarterly installments (not to
exceed 40), as designated by the Participant on the Election Agreement. The amount of the Account
remaining unpaid shall continue to be credited with gains, losses and earnings, as provided in
Section 4 of this Article. The lump sum payment or the first quarterly installment, as the case
may be, shall be made on the first day of the calendar quarter following the end of the period of
deferral as specified in Section 3 of this Article.

6. Death of Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant, the amount
of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated in a
writing substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, in accordance with the
Participant’s Election Agreement and Section 5 of this Article. A Participant’s Beneficiary
designation may be changed at any time prior to

 

 

his death by execution and delivery of a new Beneficiary designation form. The form on file with the Corporation at the time of the
Participant’s death which bears the latest date shall govern. In the absence of a Beneficiary
designation or the failure of any Beneficiary to survive the Participant, the amount of the
Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate in a lump sum ninety (90) days
after the appointment of an executor or administrator. In the event of the death of the
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries after the death of a Participant, the remaining amount of the Account
shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the last Beneficiary to receive payments ninety (90)
days after the appointment of an executor or administrator.

7. Small Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the quarterly installment
payments elected by Participant would result in a quarterly payment of less than $500, the entire
amount of the Account shall be paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 5 of this Article.

8. Acceleration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the entire amount of a
Participant’s Account will be paid in a lump sum to the Participant or his Beneficiary in the event
of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Company or more than fifty percent
(50%) of its stock by any person, firm, corporation or group of related corporations, in a
transaction or transactions not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided such
transaction constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in
the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” (for purposes of Section
409A of the Code), or (ii) if a Participant incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency, to the extent
permitted by Section 409A of the Code, an amount from each Participant’s Account or Accounts shall
be immediately paid to the Participant.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION

     The Company, through its Board of Directors, shall be responsible for the general
administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions hereof. The Board of Directors may
delegate any or all of its authority under the Plan to the Committee. The Company shall have all
such powers as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan, including the power to
determine all questions relating to eligibility for and the amount in the Account and all questions
pertaining to claims for benefits and procedures for claim review; to resolve all other questions
arising under the Plan, including any questions of construction; and to take such further action as
the Company shall deem advisable in the administration of the Plan. The actions taken and the
decisions made by the Company hereunder shall be final and binding upon all interested parties. In
accordance with the provisions of Section 503 of the Employee Income Retirement Security Act of
1974, the Company shall provide a procedure for handling claims of Participants or their
Beneficiaries under this Plan. Such procedure shall be in accordance with regulations issued by
the Secretary of Labor and shall provide adequate written notice within a reasonable period of time
with respect to the denial of any such claim as well as a reasonable opportunity for a full and
fair review by the Company of any such denial.

ARTICLE IV

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any future Year
at any time by action of its Board of Directors; provided, however, that no such action shall
adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has a Account or shall result in acceleration
of payment of the amount of an Account, except as otherwise permitted under the Plan.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

1. Nonalienation of Deferred Compensation. No Participant or Beneficiary shall
encumber or dispose of the right to receive any payments hereunder.

2. Interest of Director. The obligation of the Company under the Plan to make
payment of amounts reflected on an Account merely constitutes the unsecured promise of only the
Company to make payments from its general assets as provided herein, and no Participant or
Beneficiary shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Company.
Further, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any claim whatsoever against any Subsidiary for
amounts reflected on an Account. The Company may establish a so-called “rabbi trust” to hold
funds, stock or other securities to be used in payment of its obligations under the Plan, and may
fund such trust; provided, however, that any funds contained therein shall remain subject to the
claims of the Company’s general creditors.

3. Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be
construed as giving any person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right as against the
Company or any subsidiary, or the officers, employees, or directors of the Company or any
subsidiary, except any such rights as are specifically provided for in the Plan or are hereafter
created in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan.

4. Severability. The invalidity and unenforceability of any particular provision
of the Plan shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted herefrom.

5. Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

 

 

6. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is
intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of
the Code. The Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with
this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or any grant made hereunder to fail to
satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section
409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Participants).EX-10.10(II)

4. Accounts. (i) Cash Incentive Compensation that a Participant elects to defer
shall be treated as if it were set aside in an Account on the date the Incentive Compensation would

accordance with investment deferral crediting options and procedures adopted by the Committee from
time to time. A Participant may change such hypothetical investment directions pursuant to such
procedures adopted by the Committee from time to time. The Company specifically retains the right
in its sole discretion to change the investment deferral crediting options and procedures from time
to time. By electing to defer any amount pursuant to the Plan, each Participant shall thereby
acknowledge and agree that the Company is not and shall not be required to make any investment in
connection with the Plan, nor is it required to follow the Participant’s hypothetical investment
directions in any actual investment it may make or acquire in connection with the Plan or in
determining the amount of any actual or contingent liability or obligation of the Company
thereunder or relating thereto. Any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account with respect to
which a Participant does not provide investment direction shall be credited with earnings in an
amount determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or, if an amount is not so determined,
such amounts shall bear interest at Moody’s Seasoned Bond Rate plus 3% until further ordered by the
Committee or the Board of Directors. A Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as of each business
day, except that interest, if any, for a calendar quarter shall be credited on the first day of the
following quarter.

           (ii) Incentive Compensation payable in the form of Common Shares that a Participant
elects to defer shall be reflected in a separate Account, which shall be credited with the
number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been issued or transferred and delivered to
the Participant. Such Account shall be credited from time to time with amounts equal to
dividends or other distributions paid on the number of Common Shares reflected in such
Account, and such Account shall be credited with gains, losses and earnings on cash amounts
credited to such Account from time to time in the manner provided in Subsection (i) above
with respect to Cash Incentive Compensation.

5. Payment of Accounts. The amounts in Participants’ Accounts shall be paid as
provided in this Section 5.

           (i) The amount of a Participant’s Account attributable to deferral of cash Incentive
Compensation shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum or in a number of approximately
equal quarterly installments (not to exceed 40), as designated by

 

 

the Participant in the Election Agreement. The amount of such Account remaining unpaid shall continue to be
credited with gains, losses and earnings as provided in Section 4 of this Article. The lump
sum payment or the first quarterly installment, as the case may be, shall be made as soon as
practicable following the end of the period of deferral as specified in Section 3 of this
Article.

           (ii) The number of Common Shares in a Participant’s Account attributable to deferral of
Incentive Compensation payable in the form of Common Shares shall be issued or transferred to
the Participant as soon as practicable following the end of the period of deferral as
specified in Section 3 of this Article. All amounts credited to such Account in respect of
dividends and distributions, and the gains, losses and earnings thereon as provided in
Subsection (ii) of Section 4 of this Article shall likewise be paid to the Participant at
such time. Upon application of an Eligible Associate prior to his or her election to defer
Incentive Compensation payable in the form of Common Shares, the Committee may authorize
payment in installments of the amounts in his or her Account attributable to such Incentive
Compensation.

6. Death of a Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant, the
amount of the Participant’s Account or Accounts shall be paid to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
designated in a writing substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Beneficiary
Designation”), in accordance with the Participant’s Election Agreement and Section 5 of this
Article. A Participant’s Beneficiary Designation may be changed at any time prior to his or her
death by the execution and delivery of a new Beneficiary Designation. The Beneficiary Designation
on file with the Company that bears the latest date at the time of the Participant’s death shall
govern. In the absence of a Beneficiary Designation or the failure of any Beneficiary to survive
the Participant, the amount of the Participant’s Account or Accounts shall be paid to the
Participant’s estate in a lump sum 90 days after the appointment of an executor or administrator.
In the event of the death of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries after the death of a Participant, the
remaining amount of the Account or Accounts shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the last
Beneficiary to receive payments 90 days after the appointment of an executor or administrator.

7. Small Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if installment payments
elected by a Participant would result in a payment with a value of less than $500, the entire
amount of the Participant’s Account or Accounts may at the discretion of the Board be paid in a
lump sum in accordance with Section 5 of this Article.

8. Acceleration. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing: (i) if a
Change in Control, which constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control of the
corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” (for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code), occurs, the amount of each Participant’s Account or Accounts
shall immediately be paid to the Participant in full or (ii) if a Participant incurs an
Unforeseeable Emergency, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, an amount from each
Participant’s Account or Accounts shall be immediately paid to the Participant.

9. Adjustments. The Board may make or provide for such adjustments in the
numbers of Common Shares credited to Participants’ Accounts, and in the kind of shares so credited,
as the Board in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is equitably required
to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from
(i) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the
capital structure of the Company, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out,
split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance
of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (iii) any other corporate transaction or event
having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction
or event, the Board, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all Common Shares
deliverable under this Plan such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to
be equitable in the circumstances.

10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional
Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Board may provide for the elimination of fractions or for
the settlement of fractions in cash.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION

     The Company, through its Board, shall be responsible for the general administration of the
Plan and for carrying out the provisions hereof. The Board may delegate any or all of its
authority under the Plan to the Committee. The Company shall have all such powers as may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan, including the power to (i) determine all
questions relating to eligibility for participation in the Plan and the amount in the Account or
Accounts of any Participant and all questions pertaining to claims for benefits and procedures for
claim review, (ii) resolve all other questions arising under the Plan, including any questions of
construction, and (iii) take such further action as the Company shall deem advisable in the
administration of the Plan. The actions taken and the decisions made by the Company hereunder
shall be final and binding upon all interested parties. In accordance with the provisions of
Section 503 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Company shall provide a
procedure for handling claims of Participants or their Beneficiaries under this Plan. Such
procedure shall be in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor and shall
provide adequate written notice within a reasonable period of time with respect to the denial of
any such claim as well as a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review by the Company of any
such denial.

 

 

ARTICLE IV

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any future Year
at any time by action of the Board; provided, however, that no such action shall adversely affect
any Participant or Beneficiary who has an Account, or result in the acceleration of payment of the
amount of any Account (except as otherwise permitted under the Plan).

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

1. Non-alienation of Deferred Compensation. Except as permitted by this Plan, no
right or interest under this Plan of any Participant or Beneficiary shall, without the written
consent of the Company, be (i) assignable or transferable in any manner, (ii) subject to
alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or other legal process
or (iii) in any manner liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of the Participant or
Beneficiary.

2. Participation by Associates of Subsidiaries. An Eligible Associate who is
employed by a Subsidiary and elects to participate in the Plan shall participate on the same basis
as an associate of the Company. The Account or Accounts of a Participant employed by a Subsidiary
shall be paid in accordance with the Plan solely by such Subsidiary to the extent attributable to
Incentive Compensation that would have been paid by such Subsidiary in the absence of deferral
pursuant to the Plan.

3. Interest of Associate. The obligation of the Company under the Plan to make
payment of amounts reflected in an Account merely constitutes the unsecured promise of the Company
to make payments from its general assets or in the form of its Common Shares, as the case may be,
as provided herein, and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in, or a lien or
prior claim upon, any property of the Company. Further, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have
any claim whatsoever against any Subsidiary for amounts reflected in an Account. The Company shall
establish a so-called “rabbi trust” to hold funds, Common Shares or other securities to be used in
payment of its obligations under the Plan, and may fund such trust; provided, however, that any
funds contained therein shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company
or the Subsidiary for which the Eligible Associate performs services. Nothing in this Plan shall
be construed as guaranteeing future employment to Eligible Associates. It is the intention of the
Company that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

4. Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be
construed as giving any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right as against
the Company or any Subsidiary or the officers, associates or directors of the Company or any
Subsidiary, except any such rights as are specifically provided for in the Plan or are hereafter
created in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan.

5. Severability. The invalidity and unenforceability of any particular provision
of the Plan shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted herefrom.

6. Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the provisions
of the Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

7. Relationship to Other Plans. This Plan is intended to serve the purposes of
and to be consistent with the 1991 Plan and any similar plan approved by the Board for purposes of
this Plan. The issuance or transfer of Common Shares pursuant to this Plan shall be subject in all
respects to the terms and conditions of the 1991 Plan and any other such plan. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Common Shares credited to the Accounts of Participants pursuant to
this Plan as Incentive Compensation shall be taken into account for purposes of Section 3 of the
1991 Plan (Shares Available Under the Plan) and for purposes of the corresponding provisions of any
other such plan.

8. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is
intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of
the Code. The Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with
this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or any grant made hereunder to fail to
satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section
409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Participants).

9. Special Elections. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, on or
before December 31, 2005, the Committee may select a participant or participants who will be
permitted: (i) to cancel an outstanding deferral election (in whole or in part) in accordance with
Question and Answer 20 of the Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, and/or (ii) to make a new
payment election with respect to designated deferred amounts in accordance with Question and Answer
19(c) of the Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1.
