Dear Omid:

Pursuant to a decision by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, we have agreed to the following modification to your offer letter dated May 30, 2012, as amended on September 5, 2013 (collectively, the “Offer Letter”), as follows:

The definition of “Change of Control” has been amended and replaced in its entirety by the following:

“‘Change of Control’ means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any ‘person’ (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act; other than one or more funds, individually or collectively, associated with Tallwood Venture Capital) becomes the ‘beneficial owner’ (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors (‘Incumbent Directors’ means directors who either (A) are Directors as of the effective date of the Plan, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company)); or (iv) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation.”

No other provision in your Offer Letter, other than as specifically set forth herein, shall be deemed to have been changed.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing modification to your Offer Letter shall apply for purposes of your Stock Option Agreement dated June 11, 2012, which references your Offer Letter for the definition of “Change of Control” as used therein.  If the above modifications to your Offer Letter are acceptable to you, please signed where indicated below.

Very sincerely yours,

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan and shall have the exclusive right to establish Management Objectives for a Performance Period and the amount of Incentive Bonus payable to each Eligible Executive upon the achievement of the specified Management Objectives.

4.Eligibility.  Eligibility under this Plan is limited to Eligible Executives designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.

5.Awards.

(a)Not later than the earlier (i) of the ninetieth (90th) day after the beginning of the applicable Performance Period, or (ii) the expiration of twenty-five percent (25%) of the applicable Performance Period (and upon which date the outcome of the Management Objective(s) applicable to such Incentive Bonus are substantially uncertain), the Committee shall establish the Management Objective(s) for each Eligible Executive and the amount of Incentive Bonus payable (or formula for determining such amount) upon full achievement of the specified Management Objective(s).  The Committee may further specify in respect of the specified Management Objective(s) a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no Incentive Bonus payment will be made and shall set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objective(s).  The Committee may not modify any terms of awards established pursuant to this Section 5, (other than in connection with an Eligible Executive's death or disability, or a change in control), except to the extent that after such modification the Incentive Bonus would continue to constitute Performance-Based Compensation.

(b)The Committee retains the discretion to reduce the amount of any Incentive Bonus that would be otherwise payable to an Eligible Executive (including a reduction in such amount to zero), provided that the Committee’s exercise of such discretion does not cause the Incentive Bonus to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

(c)To comply with Section 162(m), the maximum amount of the Incentive Bonus payable to an Eligible Executive under the Plan for a calendar year is Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

6.Committee Certification.  In compliance with Section 162(m), as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether the applicable Management Objective(s) has/have been achieved and the amount of the Incentive Bonus to be paid to each Eligible Executive for such Performance Period and shall certify such determinations in writing.

7.Payment of Incentive Bonuses.  Incentive Bonuses shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Committee’s written certification pursuant to Section 6, but in no event later than two and a half months from the end of the Performance Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its discretion may permit an Eligible Executive to defer the payment of an Incentive Bonus; provided that an election to defer payment of all or any part of an Incentive Bonus under the Plan shall be made in accordance with such rules as may be established by the Committee in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code and such other requirements as the Committee shall deem applicable to the deferral.

8.Termination of Employment.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(b), if an Eligible Executive’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the last day of a Performance Period, all of the Eligible Executive’s rights to an Incentive Bonus for such Performance Period shall be forfeited.

(b)If an Eligible Executive’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Eligible Employee’s death or disability (or, in the Committee’s discretion any other termination other than a Termination for Cause, to the extent not established by another applicable agreement) during a Performance Period, the Eligible Executive (or the Eligible Executive’s estate) will be paid a Pro-rated Incentive Bonus.  Payment of such Pro-rated Incentive Bonus will be made at the same time and in the manner as Incentive Bonuses are paid to other Eligible Executives pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan.

9.No Right to Bonus or Continued Employment.  Neither the establishment of the Plan, the provision for or payment of any amounts hereunder nor any action of the Corporation, the Board or the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be held or construed to confer upon any person (a) any legal right to receive, or any interest in, an Incentive Bonus or any other benefit under the Plan or (b) any legal right to continue to serve as an officer or employee of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation.

10.Withholding.  The Corporation shall have the right to withhold, or require an Eligible Executive to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements imposed with respect to the payment of any Incentive Bonus.

11.Nontransferability.  Except as expressly provided by the Committee, the rights and benefits under the Plan shall not be transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

12.Amendment and Termination.  The Committee may amend the Plan from time to time, provided that any such amendment is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m), and provided further that any such amendment shall not, after the end of the ninety (90) day/25% period described in Section 5(a) of the Plan, cause the amount payable under an Incentive Bonus to be increased as compared to the amount that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established within such period.  The Committee may also terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Eligible Executive with respect to any Performance Period that commenced prior to such termination.

13.Governing Law.  The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts of law.

14.Code Section 409A.  It is intended that payments of Incentive Bonuses under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  In the event the Committee permits deferrals pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan, it is intended that such deferrals of Incentive Bonuses will be deferred and paid in a manner that complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

15.Clawback.  All Incentive Bonuses paid under the Plan are subject to any clawback policy of the Corporation as in effect from time to time and, in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that such Incentive Bonuses be repaid to the Corporation after they have been paid.

16.Unfunded Plan.  The Plan is an unfunded compensation plan, and all payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Corporation.

17.Effective Date.  Subject to its approval by the shareholders, this Plan shall remain effective until the first annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders held in the Corporation’s 2020 calendar fiscal year, subject to any further stockholder approvals (or re-approvals) mandated for Performance-Based Compensation, and subject to the right of the Board to terminate the Plan, on a prospective basis only, at any time.
