 SECTION 3. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES 
 The Administrator shall determine which management employees and highly compensated employees of the

 SECTION 4. ELECTION TO DEFER COMPENSATION 
 A Participant may elect to defer a specified percentage of his or her
Compensation (from one percent (1%) to one hundred percent (100%) for a Plan Year by filing an election with the Administrator (pursuant to Section 5) on or prior to November 30 (or such other date not later than December 31
that the Administrator may specify) of the preceding Plan Year. Any election so made shall not be binding for any subsequent Plan Year, and thus a new election must be filed for any subsequent Plan Year on or before November 30 (or such other
date not later than December 31 that the Administrator may specify) of the immediately preceding Plan Year. Provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, a Participant who first becomes eligible to
participate in the Plan after the beginning of a Plan Year shall be entitled to make a deferral election (with respect to Compensation to be earned after the date of the election) within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible. 
  

 2 

 Each Participant may elect to establish a separate “in-service withdrawal account”, to which shall be credited
such portion of his deferrals, as the Participant may designate, and subject to the provisions of Section 11, which shall be distributed as of a date selected by the Participant on the election form used to establish such account, which date
may not be less than twenty-four (24) months after the election is made. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant receives a distribution
under the Plan as a result of an unforeseeable emergency pursuant to Section 12, the Participant’s deferral election under the Plan shall be cancelled for the balance of the Plan Year. 
 SECTION 5. MANNER OF ELECTION 
 Any election made by a
Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be made by executing such form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time prescribe. 
 SECTION 6.
ACCOUNTS 
 If a Participant elects to establish an “in-service withdrawal account” under Section 4, such account shall be established and
maintained on the Company’s books and shall record (a) any Compensation deferred by the Participant under the Plan and (b) the allocation of any hypothetical investment experience. There shall also be established for each Participant
a separate “retirement account” which shall record (a) any Company contributions made on his behalf (b) any Compensation deferred by the Participant under the Plan which the Participant has not elected to be credited to the
“in-service withdrawal account” and (c) the allocation of any hypothetical investment experience. 
 SECTION 7. COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

 For any Plan Year, the Company may elect to allocate to the account of each Participant, or any Participant designated by the Board, an amount equal to
a specified percentage of such Participant’s Compensation, a flat dollar amount and/or an amount equal to a specified percentage of any Compensation deferred under Section 4. Any such contribution shall be made entirely at the discretion
of the Board. 
 SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNTS 
 Each Participant’s account(s) shall be reduced by the amount of any distributions to the Participant from the applicable account, and by any federal, state and/or local tax withholding and any social security withholding tax as may be
required by law. Pursuant to procedures established by the Administrator, each Participant’s account(s) shall be adjusted as of each business day the New York Stock Exchange is open to reflect the earnings or losses of any hypothetical
investment media as may be designated by the Administrator. 
  

 3 

 SECTION 9. INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS 
 For purposes of determining the amount of earnings and appreciation and losses and depreciation to be credited to a Participant’s account(s), each Participant’s account(s) shall be deemed invested in the
investment options (designated by the Administrator as available under the Plan) as the Participant may elect, from time to time, in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Administrator may establish. However, no provision of the Plan
shall require the Company to actually invest any amounts in any fund or in any other investment vehicle. 
 SECTION 10. VESTED STATUS 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 20, and except as otherwise provided below, if a Participant “separates from service” with the Company (within the
meaning of Code Section 409A) for any reason on or after his Early or Normal Retirement Age, or prior to that date as a result of the Participant’s Disability or death, such Participant shall have a nonforfeitable (vested) right to the
fair market value of the Participant’s account(s). If a Participant separates from service for any other reason, such Participant shall be entitled to receive the vested value of his or her account(s). For this purpose, each Participant shall
at all times have a nonforfeitable (vested) right to his or her account(s) derived from any Compensation deferred pursuant to Section 4. However, with respect to any Company contributions made on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to
Section 7, the Participant shall have a nonforfeitable (vested) right to a percentage of the fair market value of such portion of his or her applicable account as follows: 
  

				
	 Years of Participation
	  	Vested
Percentage	 
	 Less than 1 year
	  	0	%
	 1 year
	  	33	%
	 2 years
	  	67	%
	 3 years or more
	  	100	%

 For this purpose, a Participant shall be credited with a Year of Participation for each Plan Year during which he
elected to defer Compensation to the Plan. 
 The nonvested portion of a Participant’s account, as determined above, shall be forfeited as of the
Participant’s separation from service, and shall be used to reduce Company contributions under Section 7 and/or used to pay Plan administrative expenses. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s account(s) shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested upon a Change in Control. 
 SECTION 11. TIME AND MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each Participant shall elect, on the election form used to make his or her initial
deferral election, either of the following modes of distribution for his vested retirement account (within the meaning of Section 6): 
  

 4 

	 	(a)	a single lump sum payment; or 

  

	 	(b)	annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years, the amount of each installment to equal the balance of the Participant’s vested retirement account immediately
prior to the installment divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid. Each subsequent installment shall be made on the first day of the calendar month following the one (1) year anniversary of the prior payment.

 If no distribution election is made, the Participant’s vested retirement account shall be distributed in the form of a single lump-sum
payment. 
 Except as otherwise elected by a Participant pursuant to Section 4 and 5, distribution of a Participant’s vested retirement account
shall be made or commence six (6) months following the date on which the Participant “separates from service” with the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). However, a Participant may subsequently elect to
change the mode of distribution of his retirement account, or to delay the date on which distribution of the Participant’s retirement account is to be made or commence, subject to the following conditions: (i) any such election may not
take effect until twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; and (ii) payment with respect to such election must be deferred for a period of at least five (5) years from the date on which payment would otherwise
have been made or commence. For purposes of this rule, each annual installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment. 
 Any “in-service”
withdrawal account(s) established for a Participant under Section 6 shall be distributed in a lump-sum cash payment, as of the date previously designated by the Participant. Provided, however, that a Participant may subsequently elect to delay
the date on which distribution of his vested in-service withdrawal account is to be made, subject to the following conditions: (i) the subsequent election must be made at least twelve (12) months prior to the date the in-service withdrawal
account was scheduled to be paid, and (ii) payment must be deferred for a period of at least five (5) years from the date on which payment was initially to have been made. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s vested account(s) shall be distributed, in the form of a single sum payment, within ninety (90) days following a Change in Control. 
 SECTION 12. DISTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY 
 Except as otherwise elected by a Participant pursuant to Section 4 and 5, in the event of an “unforeseeable emergency” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), a Participant may, by filing an election with the
Administrator (in such form and manner as may be prescribed by the Administrator), elect to receive a distribution from the Plan in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Participant’s vested account(s) or
(ii) the amount necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency. 
 SECTION 13. DEATH AND DISABILITY BENEFITS 
 In the event of the death or Disability of a Participant while in the employ of the Company, vesting in the Participant’s account(s) shall be one hundred percent
(100%), if not otherwise one hundred percent (100%)

  

 5 

 
vested under Section 10, with the fair market value of the Participant’s account(s) being distributed to the Participant or Participant’s
Beneficiary, as may be the case, in a single lump sum payment, within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death or Disability. 
 In the
event a Participant dies after distribution has commenced under the Plan, distribution shall continue to be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the form elected by the Participant. 
 SECTION 14. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
 A Participant may designate
the person or persons to whom the Participant’s account(s) under the Plan shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death, by filing a designation of beneficiary form with the Administrator. If no Beneficiary is designated, or no
Beneficiary survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if none, to the Participant’s surviving children or, if none to the Participant’s estate. 
 SECTION 15. DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS 
 If a domestic relations order
issued by any court of proper authority directs assignment of all or any portion of a Participant’s vested account(s) to the Participant’s spouse or former spouse as part of a divorce settlement, the portion so assigned shall be
distributed, in a lump-sum, to the spouse or former spouse within ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the date on which the order was received by the Administrator or, if later, (ii) the date on which the order clearly
specifies the amount to be assigned and any other terms necessary to comply with such order and with the provisions of Code Section 409A. 
 SECTION
16. PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
  

	16.1	Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Company. The Administrator is authorized to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan, to determine eligibility
and benefits under the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to adopt such forms as it may deem appropriate for the administration of the Plan, to provide for conditions and assurances deemed necessary or
advisable to protect the interests of the Company and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions of the Plan or the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. The Administrator shall be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Plan. Determinations, interpretations or other actions made or taken by the
Administrator under the Plan shall be final and binding for all purposes and upon all persons. 

  

	16.2	Review Procedure. 

  

	 	(a)	Pursuant to procedures established by the Administrator, claims for benefits under the Plan made by a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) must be submitted in
writing to the Administrator. 

  

 6 

 If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator shall notify the claimant within ninety
(90) days (or forty-five (45) days if the claim relates to a determination of Disability) after receipt of the claim (or within one hundred eighty (180) days (or seventy-five (75) days for a Disability claim), if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim (in the case of a Disability determination claim, the review period may be extended twice with each extension not exceeding thirty (30) days), and provided written notice
indicating the special circumstances and the date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered is given to the claimant within the initial ninety (90) day period, or forty-five (45) day period, as the case may be). If notification
is not given in such period, the claim shall be considered denied as of the last day of such period and the claimant may request a review of the claim. 
 The notice of the denial of the claim shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall set forth the following: 
  

	 	(i)	the specific reason or reasons for the denial of the claim; 

  

	 	(ii)	the specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

  

	 	(iv)	a statement that any appeal of the denial must be made by giving to the Administrator, within sixty (60) days (or one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a Disability
claim) after receipt of the denial of the claim, written notice of such appeal, such notice to include a full description of the pertinent issues and basis of the claim. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon denial of a claim in whole or part, the claimant (or his duly authorized representative) shall have the right to submit a written request to the Administrator for a full and
fair review of the denied claim, to be permitted to review documents pertinent to the denial, and to submit issues and comments in writing. Any appeal of the denial must be given to the Administrator within the period of time prescribed under
(a)(iv) above. If the claimant (or his duly authorized representative) fails to appeal the denial to the Administrator within the prescribed time, the Administrator’s adverse determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 The Administrator may hold a hearing or otherwise ascertain such facts as it deems necessary and shall render a decision
which shall be binding upon both parties. The Administrator shall advise the claimant of the results of the review within sixty (60) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case of a Disability claim) after receipt of the written request for
the review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days (or ninety (90) days in the case of a
Disability claim) after receipt of the request for review. If such extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The decision of the review shall be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan 

  

 7 

 
provisions on which the decision is based. The decision of the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  

	 	(c)	Within sixty (60) days (or one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a Disability claim) after receipt by the Claimant of the written opinion described above, the
Claimant may request in writing that the Company review the Administrator’s determination. Such request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its then principal place of business. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized
representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Company. If the Claimant does not request a review of the determination within such sixty (60) day period, he or
she shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination. 

  

	 	(d)	Within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of a request for review, it will review the Administrator’s determination. After considering all materials
presented by the Claimant, the Company shall render a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting for the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the pertinent provisions
of the Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Company will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. 

  

	 	(e)	A final decision by the Company, made following a review conducted in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall be final, conclusive and binding of the
Claimant, such Claimant’s dependents and/or beneficiaries, and such Claimant’s heirs and assigns. 

 SECTION 17. FUNDING 

  

	17.1	Plan Unfunded. The Plan is unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. Accordingly, the obligation of the Company to make payments under the Plan
constitutes solely an unsecured (but legally enforceable) promise of the Company to make such payments, and no person, including any Participant or Beneficiary shall have any lien, prior claim or other security interest in any property of the
Company as a result of this Plan. Any amounts payable under the Plan shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company and each Participant and Beneficiary shall be deemed to be a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

  

	17.2	Rabbi Trust. The Company may create a grantor trust to pay its obligations hereunder (a so-called rabbi trust), the assets of which shall be, for all purposes, the assets of
the Company. In the event the trustee of such trust is unable or unwilling to make payments directly to Participants and Beneficiaries and such trustee remits payments to the Company for delivery to Participants and Beneficiaries, the Company shall
promptly remit such amount, less applicable income and other taxes required to be withheld, to the Participant or Beneficiary. 

 SECTION 18. AMENDMENT 
 The Company, by resolution of the Board, shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that no such action 

  

 8 

 
shall, without the Participant’s consent, impair the Participant’s right with respect to any existing account under the Plan. The termination of
the Plan, with respect to some or all of the Participants, and any resulting distribution of the account balances of such affected Participants, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and shall not
constitute the impairment of such Participant’s rights hereunder. 
 SECTION 19. NO ASSIGNMENT 
 A Participant’s right to the amount credited to his or her account under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary. 
 SECTION 20.
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE 
 Termination “for cause” shall mean (i) conviction of robbery, bribery, extortion, embezzlement, fraud, grand
larceny, burglary, perjury, income tax evasion, misapplication of company funds, false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1001, and any other felony that is punishable by a term of imprisonment of more than one year, or (ii) any breach
of the Participant’s duty of loyalty to the Company, any acts of omission in the performance of his company duties not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in the performance
of his company duties from which the Participant derived an improper personal benefit. In the event the Participant’s relationship with the Company and all affiliates is terminated for cause, no benefits (other than those attributable to the
Participant’s deferrals pursuant to Section 4) shall be due or payable under the terms of the Plan, and such Participant’s account (less such Participant’s interest in the account attributable to such deferrals) shall be
forfeited. 
 SECTION 21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 
 The provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Participant, his or her Beneficiaries, heirs, legal representatives and assigns. 
 SECTION 22. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT 
 Nothing contained herein
shall be construed as a contract of employment between a Participant and the Company, or as a right of the Participant to continue in employment with the Company, or as a limitation of the right of the Company to discharge the Participant at any
time, with or without cause. 
 SECTION 23. INDEMINIFICATION AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS 
 Each Participant, by executing an election form and becoming a Participant hereunder, acknowledges and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any damages, losses and expenses (including,
without limitation, litigation costs incurred by the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan) arising from third-party claims and/or disputes involving such Participant’s Plan 

  

 9 

 
interest (including, without limitation, tax liens and levies, creditors’ claims, garnishment and bankruptcy proceedings, and proceedings in domestic
relations court). 
 SECTION 24. HOLD HARMLESS OF CORPORATE AGENTS 
 The Company, and its directors, officers and employees, shall be free from liability, joint or several, for personal acts, omissions, and conduct, and for the acts, omissions and conduct of duly appointed agents, in
the administration of this Plan so long as taken in good faith. 
 SECTION 25. TAXES; NO GUARANTEE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES 
 The Company shall be entitled to withhold and remit any federal, state and local taxes from any distribution made hereunder which such Company believes are necessary,
appropriate, or required by relevant law, regulation or ruling. The Company makes no representation, warranty or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax consequences of participation in the Plan to any Participant or beneficiary thereof, or any
personal representative or attorney-in-fact of any such Participant or beneficiary. 
 SECTION 26. NOTICE 
 Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of the Plan shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the party giving or making
the same. If such notice, consent or demand is mailed, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee’s last know address as shown on the records of the Company. The date of such mailing shall be
deemed the date of notice, consent or demand. Any person may change the address to which notice is to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid. 
 SECTION 27. FACILITY OF PAYMENT 
 If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise
incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, make such distribution (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains his or her residence, or (ii) to the conservator or
committee or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Administrator, the Company and Plan from further liability on account thereof. 
 SECTION 28. GOVERNING LAW 
 This Plan shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent with Code Section 409A and the guidance issued thereunder by the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service and shall also be subject to and construed in accordance with the provisions of ERISA, where
applicable, and otherwise by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized officer, has caused this Plan to be executed as of the
19th day of December, 2008.

 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Plan to attract, retain, motivate and reward executive officers and key employees by providing them with the

Committee hereby amends the Plan as follows: 
 1. The Plan is hereby amended by the deletion of Section 4(c) and the substitution of
the following in lieu thereof: 
  

	 	“(c)	 Determination of Amounts Payable. As soon as practicable after the Performance Period ends, but in no event later than the March 15 next following the
end of the taxable year for which the applicable bonuses are payable, the Committee shall: (x) determine (i) whether and to what extent any of the performance objectives established for the relevant Performance Period under
Section 4(a) have been satisfied; and (ii) for each Participant who is employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates on the last day of the Performance Period for which the bonus is payable, the actual bonus to which such Participant
shall be entitled, taking into consideration the extent to which the performance objectives have been met and 

	 	 
such other factors as the Committee may deem appropriate; and (y) cause such bonus to be paid to such Participant. Any provision of this Plan
notwithstanding, in no event shall any Participant receive a bonus under this Plan for any fiscal year of the Company in excess of $5 million.”

provided in another agreement to which the Company is bound, the Company and its Affiliates shall have no responsibility for tax or legal consequences to any Participant (or beneficiary) resulting from the terms or operation of this Plan.”
