dividend shall be equal to (a) the number of shares of Stock credited to the
Participant’s account as of the payment date for such dividend in respect of
each share of Stock, multiplied by (b) the number of additional shares of Stock
actually paid as a dividend in respect of each share of Stock. The number of
shares credited to the Participant for a particular cash dividend or other
non-cash dividend shall be equal to (a) the number of shares of Stock credited

Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee (i) to suspend any
deferrals required to be made by such Participant or (ii) to suspend any
deferrals required to be made by such Participant and receive a partial or full
payout from the Plan. The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the
Participant’s vested Account Balance and vested Merger Account balance,
excluding the portion of the Account Balance attributable to the Restricted
Stock Account, Performance Share Account, Option Account, Dividend Equivalent
Account and Stock Appreciation Right Account, calculated as if such Participant
were receiving a Termination Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to
satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. A Participant may not receive a
payout from the Plan to the extent that the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency
is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship or
(iii) by suspension of deferrals under this Plan. If the Committee, in its
sole discretion, approves a Participant’s petition for suspension, the
Participant’s deferrals under this Plan shall be suspended as of the date of
such approval. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a
Participant’s petition for suspension and payout, the Participant’s deferrals
under this Plan shall be suspended as of the date of such approval and the

withdraw all or a portion of his or her vested Account Balance, excluding the
portion of the Account Balance attributable to the Restricted Stock Account,
Performance Share Account, Option Account, Dividend Equivalent Account and
Stock Appreciation Right Account. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the value
of a Participant’s vested Account Balance shall be calculated as of the close
of business on or around the date on which receipt of the Participant’s
election is acknowledged by the Committee, as determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion, less a withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of the amount
withdrawn (the net amount shall be referred to as the “Withdrawal Amount”).
This election can be made at any time, before or after Retirement or
Disability, and whether or not the Participant is in the process of being paid
pursuant to an installment payment schedule. The Participant shall make this
election by giving the Committee advance written notice of the election in a
form determined from time to time by the Committee. The Participant shall be
paid the Withdrawal Amount within sixty (60) days of his or her election. Once
the Withdrawal Amount is paid, the Participant’s participation in the Plan
shall be suspended for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the withdrawal
is elected and for one (1) full Plan Year thereafter.”

entirety and the substitution in lieu thereof the following:

	 	(a)	 	Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined to
be suffering from a Disability shall be (i) excused from fulfilling that
portion of the Annual Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been
withheld from a Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus, Special

Participant first suffers a Disability, (ii) excused from fulfilling any
existing unvested Restricted Stock commitments, and (iii) excused from
fulfilling any existing unvested Performance Share commitments to the extent
provided in the RPM International 2004 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan or
other relevant stock incentive plan sponsored by the Company. During the
period of Disability, the Participant shall not be allowed to make any
additional deferral elections, but will continue to be considered a Participant
for all other purposes of this Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Deferral Following Disability. If a Participant
returns to employment, or service as a Director, with an Employer after a
Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral
Amount, Annual Restricted Stock Amount, Annual Dividend Equivalent Amount,
Annual Option Amount, Annual Performance Share Amount and Annual Stock

11

 

	 	 	 	Appreciation Right Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to
employment or service and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in
the Plan; provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an
Election Form is delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such
election in accordance with Section 3.3 above.”

     25. Article 15 of the Plan is hereby amended by the deletion of said Article 15 in its
entirety and the substitution in lieu thereof of the following new Article 15:

of Stock held in such accounts necessary to generate sufficient proceeds of such sale
to equal (or exceed by not more than the actual sale price of a single share of Stock)
the Participant’s projected tax liability determined by multiplying (A) the aggregate
maximum marginal federal and applicable state and local income tax rates on the date of
the distribution; by (B) the total number of shares of Stock to be distributed. The
Committee shall withhold the proceeds of such sale for purposes of satisfying the
Participant’s federal, state and local income taxes resulting from the payout of Stock.
The Participant shall provide the Committee with such stock powers and additional
information or documents as may be necessary for the Committee to discharge its
obligations under this Section.
	 
	 	15.2	 	Payments to Satisfy Tax Liability. The Committee shall deliver the
proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock pursuant to Section 15.1 to the Internal
Revenue Service and/or other taxing authority in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax
liability arising from the payout of Stock from such Participant’s Restricted Stock
Account, Performance Share Account and Option Account.”

	 	“(d)	 	Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section,
and any other provision of the Plan that may provide, or may be interpreted to
provide, to the contrary, a Participant may make an irrevocable deferral
election as provided in this paragraph (d) with respect to amounts deferred
under this Plan that are subject to Code Section 409A and that relate all or in
part to services performed on or before December 31, 2005. Such irrevocable
deferral election must be made on an Election Form that is completed, signed
and submitted to the Committee by the earlier of (i) the date that such amounts
have been paid or become payable, or (ii) March 15, 2005. The amount deferred

	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b) (c) and (d), and any other
provision of the Plan that may provide, or may be interpreted to provide, to
the contrary, with regard to amounts subject to Code Section 409A, a
Participant may elect to terminate all or a level of his or her participation
in the Plan or elect to cancel all or a portion of his or her deferral election
provided such election is provided to the Committee on or before December 31,
2005. The amounts subject to the termination or cancellation election shall be
paid to the Participant in, and included in the income of the Participant for,
2005 or, if later, on the date the Participant earns and is vested in such
amounts.”

     2. Article 3 of the Plan is hereby amended by the addition of a new Section 3.13 to read as
follows:

	 	“3.13.	 	Change In Distribution Elections Before December 31, 2006 For Code
Section 409A Amounts. A Participant’s vested Account Balance shall be paid
as provided by the Plan and, where permitted under the Plan, as elected by the
Participant. On or before December 31, 2006, a Participant may change his or
her payment elections (including any election regarding the form and timing of
a payment) for vested amounts and benefits of the Plan that are subject to Code
Section 409A and that are deferred prior to the election. A Participant may
not in calendar year 2006, however, change any payment election with respect to
any vested amounts or
benefits subject to Code Section 409A that he or she would otherwise receive
in calendar year 2006, or cause any such amount or benefit to be paid in
calendar year 2006 that would otherwise not be received in calendar year
2006.”
