Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of                                          by
and between DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and                                         
(the “Executive”);

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Executive is a senior executive who has made and is expected to continue to make
major contributions to the profitability, growth and financial strength of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined);

     WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case for most publicly held companies, the
possibility of a Change in Control (as that term is hereafter defined) exists;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure itself and its Subsidiaries of both present and future
continuity of management in the event of a Change in Control and desires to establish certain
minimum compensation rights for key senior executive officers, including the Executive, applicable
in the event of a Change in Control;

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to ensure that senior executives are not practically disabled from
discharging their duties upon a Change in Control;

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is not intended to alter materially the compensation and benefits
which the Executive could reasonably expect to receive absent a Change in Control and, accordingly,
although effective and binding as of the date hereof, this Agreement shall become operative only
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to render services on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Company and the Executive agree as
follows:

     1. Operation of Agreement: (a) This Agreement, which amends and restates the
Employment Agreement which was previously entered into between the Company and the Executive, shall
be effective and binding immediately upon its execution, but, anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not become operative unless and until there shall
have occurred a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall
have occurred if at any time during the Term (as that term is hereafter defined) any of the
following events shall occur:

     (i) The Company is merged or consolidated or reorganized into or with another
corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such merger, consolidation or
reorganization less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities of such corporation or person immediately after such transaction is held in the
aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock (as that term is hereafter defined) of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction;

     (ii) The Company sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to
any other corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such sale or transfer less
than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such
corporation or person immediately after such sale or transfer is held in the aggregate by the
holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale or transfer;

 

 

     (iii) There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor
schedule, form or report), each as promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), disclosing that any person (as the term “person” is
used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has become the beneficial
owner (as the term “beneficial owner” is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or
regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing 20% or more of the
combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors of the Company (“Voting Stock”);

     (iv) The Company files a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or
any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in control of the
Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any
then-existing contract or transaction; or

     (v) If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
any such period constitute the Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders, of each Director of the Company first elected during such period was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors of the Company then still in office who were
Directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 1(a)(iii) or 1(a)(iv) hereof, a “Change in
Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement either (i) solely
because (A) the Company, (B) a Subsidiary of the Company, or (C) any Company-sponsored employee
stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, either files or becomes
obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule
14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) under
the Exchange Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting Stock, whether in
excess of 20% or otherwise, or because the Company reports that a change in control of the Company
has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership
or (ii) solely because of a change in control of any Subsidiary by which the Executive may be
employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 1(a)(i-iv) hereof, if, prior to any
event described in Sections 1(a)(i-iv) hereof instituted by any person not an officer or director
of the Company, or prior to any disclosed proposal instituted by any person not an officer or
director of the Company which could lead to any such event, management proposes any restructuring
of the Company which ultimately leads to an event described in Sections 1(a)(i-iv) hereof pursuant
to such management proposal, then a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Agreement.

          (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time during the Term, this Agreement
shall become immediately operative, except that in the event that any such agreement to merge,
consolidate, reorganize or sell or otherwise transfer assets referred to in Section 1(a)(i) or
1(a)(ii) is terminated without such merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale or transfer
having been consummated, or the person filing such Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 referred to in
Section 1(a)(iii) files an amendment to such Schedules disclosing that it no longer is the
beneficial owner of securities representing 20% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company, or the
Company reports that the change of control which it reported in the filing referred to in Section
1(a)(iv) will not in fact occur, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may by notice
to the Executive nullify the operation of this Agreement by reason of such Change in Control,
without prejudice to any exercise by the Executive of his rights under this Agreement that may have
occurred prior to such nullification.

          (c) The period during which this Agreement shall be in effect (the “Term”) shall commence as
of the date hereof and shall expire as of the later of (i) the close of business on December 31,
2011 and (ii) the expiration of the Period of Employment (as that term is hereafter defined),
provided, however, that (A) commencing on January 1, 2009 and each January 1 thereafter, the term
of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than
September 30 of the immediately preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given
notice that it or he, as the case may be, does not wish to have the Term extended, and (B) subject
to Section 8 hereof, if, at any time prior to a Change in Control, the Executive for any reason is
no longer an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, thereupon the Term shall be deemed to have
expired and this Agreement shall immediately terminate and be of no further effect.

     2. Employment; Period of Employment: (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall continue the Executive in
the employ of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Executive shall remain in such employ for
the period set forth in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Period of Employment”). During the Period of
Employment, the Executive agrees to serve in such office or offices of the Company or any
Subsidiary to which the Board or the managing authority of any Subsidiary may from time to time
elect or appoint him. Throughout the Period of Employment, the Executive shall devote
substantially all of his time during normal business hours (subject to vacations, sick leave and
other absences in accordance with the policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect for
senior executives immediately prior to the Change in Control) to the business and affairs of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, but nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from
devoting reasonable periods of time during normal business hours to (i) serving as a director,
trustee or member of or participant in any organization or business so long as such activity would
not constitute Competitive Activity (as that term is hereafter defined), (ii) engaging in
charitable and community activities, or (iii) managing his personal investments.

          (b) The Period of Employment shall commence on the date of an occurrence of a Change in
Control and, subject only to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, shall continue until the earlier
of (i) the expiration of the third anniversary of the occurrence of the Change in Control, (ii) the
Executive’s death, or (iii) the Executive’s attainment of age 65; provided, however, that
commencing on each anniversary of the Change in Control, the Period of Employment shall
automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than 90 calendar days prior to
such anniversary date, either the Company or the Executive shall have given written notice to the
other that the Period of Employment shall not be so extended.

          (c) As used in this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” means a corporation, company or other
entity (i) more than 50 percent of whose outstanding shares or securities (representing the right
to vote for the election of directors or other managing authority) are, or (ii) which does not have
outstanding shares or securities (as may be the case in a partnership, joint venture or
unincorporated association), but more than 50 percent of whose ownership interest representing the
right generally to make decisions for such other entity is, now or hereafter, owned or controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the Company, but such corporation, company or other entity shall be
deemed to be a Subsidiary only so long as such ownership or control exists.

     3. Compensation During Period of Employment: (a) For his services pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive shall receive during
the Period of Employment (i) annual base salary at a rate not less than the Executive’s annual
fixed or base compensation (payable monthly or otherwise as in effect for senior executives of the
Company immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control) or such higher rate as may be
approved from time to time by the Board or the Compensation Committee thereof (the “Committee”)
(which base salary at such rate is herein referred to as “Base Pay”) and (ii) an annual amount
equal to not less than the highest aggregate annual bonus, incentive or other payments of cash
compensation in addition to the amounts referred to in clause (i) above made or to be made in
regard to services rendered in any calendar year during the three calendar years immediately
preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurred pursuant to any bonus, incentive,
profit-sharing, performance, discretionary pay or similar policy, plan, program or arrangement of
the Company or any Subsidiary or any successor thereto providing benefits at least as great as the
benefits payable thereunder prior to a Change in Control (“Incentive Pay”), provided, however, that
with the prior written consent of the Executive, nothing herein shall preclude a change in the mix
between Base Pay and Incentive Pay so long as the aggregate cash compensation received by the
Executive in any one calendar year is not reduced in connection therewith or as a result thereof,
and provided further, however, that in no event shall any increase in the Executive’s aggregate
cash compensation or any portion thereof in any way diminish any other obligation of the Company
under this Agreement.

          (b) For his services pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, during the Period of Employment the
Executive shall be a full participant in, and shall be entitled to the perquisites, benefits and
service credit for benefits as provided under, any and all employee retirement income and welfare
benefit policies, plans, programs or arrangements in which senior executives of the Company or its
Subsidiaries participate, including without limitation any stock option, stock purchase, stock
appreciation, restricted stock grant, savings, pension, supplemental executive retirement or other
retirement income or welfare benefit, deferred compensation, group and/or executive life, health,
medical/hospital or other insurance (whether funded by actual insurance or self-insured by the
Company or any Subsidiary), disability, salary continuation, expense
reimbursement and

3

 

other employee benefit policies, plans, programs or arrangements that may now exist or any
equivalent successor policies, plans, programs or arrangements that may be adopted hereafter by the
Company or any Subsidiary providing perquisites, benefits and service credit for benefits at least
as great as are payable thereunder prior to a Change in Control (collectively, “Employee
Benefits”), provided, however, that except as expressly provided in, and subject to the terms of,
Section 5(a)(ii) hereof, the Executive’s rights thereunder shall be governed by the terms thereof
and shall not be enlarged hereunder or otherwise affected hereby. Subject to the proviso in the
immediately preceding sentence, if and to the extent such perquisites, benefits or service credit
for benefits are not payable or provided under any such policy, plan, program or arrangement as a
result of the amendment or termination thereof, then the Company shall itself pay or provide
therefor. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude improvement or enhancement of any such Employee
Benefits, provided that no such improvement shall in any way diminish any other obligation of the
Company under this Agreement.

          (c) (i) The Company has determined that the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3
constitute reasonable compensation for services to be rendered during the Period of Employment.
Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, unless such action would be expressly
prohibited by applicable law, if any amount paid or payable pursuant to this Section 3 for
services to be rendered during the Period of Employment, or pursuant to Section 5, or pursuant
to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement (collectively
“Other Agreements”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company will pay to the Executive an additional
amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the aggregate remuneration received by the
Executive under this Section 3 for services to be rendered during the Period of Employment, or
Section 5, or the Other Agreements, including such additional cash payment (net of all federal,
state and local income taxes and all taxes payable as the result of the application of Sections
280G and 4999 of the Code) to be equal to the aggregate remuneration the Executive would have
received under this Section 3 for services to be rendered during the Period of Employment, or
Section 5, or the Other Agreements, excluding such additional payment (net of all federal, state
and local income taxes), as if Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code (and any successor provisions
thereto) had not been enacted into law.

          (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(c) to the contrary and subject
to the first paragraph of Section 5(a), the payments described in Section 3(c)(i) shall be paid
or reimbursed within five business days after the Executive submits evidence of incurrence of
such taxes and/or expenses, provided that in all events such reimbursement will be made no later
than the end of the year following the year in which the applicable taxes are remitted or, in
the case of reimbursement of expenses incurred due to a tax audit or litigation to which there
is no remittance of taxes, no later than the end of the year following the year in which the
audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the
litigation in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v). Each provision of
reimbursements pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be considered a separate payment and not one
of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Any expense reimbursed by the
Company in one taxable year in no event will affect the amount of expenses required to be
reimbursed or in-kind benefits required to be provided by the Company in any other taxable year.

     4. Termination Following a Change in Control: (a) In the event of the occurrence of
a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries may be
terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Period of Employment and the Executive
shall not be entitled to the benefits provided by Section 5 hereof only upon the occurrence of one
or more of the following events:

          (i) The Executive’s death;

          (ii) If the Executive shall become permanently disabled within the meaning of, and
begins actually to receive disability benefits pursuant to, the long-term disability plan in
effect for senior executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the
Change in Control; or

          (iii) For “Cause,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean that, prior to any
termination pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Executive shall have committed:

4

 

          (A) an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties
or in the course of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary;

          (B) intentional wrongful damage to property of the Company or any Subsidiary;

          (C) intentional wrongful disclosure of secret processes or confidential information
of the Company or any Subsidiary; or

          (D) intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive activity which would
constitute a material breach of the duty of loyalty (“Competitive Activity”);

and any such act shall have been materially harmful to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive shall be deemed “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or
negligence, but shall be deemed “intentional” only if done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive
not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in or not opposed
to the best interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for “Cause” hereunder unless and until there
shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative
vote of not less than three-quarters of the Board then in office at a meeting of the Board called
and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the
Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good
faith opinion of the Board, the Executive had committed an act set forth above in this Section
4(a)(iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Nothing herein shall limit the right
of the Executive or his beneficiaries to contest the validity or propriety of any such
determination.

          (b) In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, during the Period of Employment
the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits as provided in Section 5 hereof upon the occurrence
of one or more of the following events:

          (i) Any termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the employment of the
Executive prior to the date upon which the Executive shall have attained age 65, which
termination shall be for any reason other than for Cause or as a result of the death of the
Executive or by reason of the Executive’s disability and the actual receipt of disability
benefits in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii) hereof; or

          (ii) Termination by the Executive of his employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries during the Period of Employment after the Change in Control upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:

          (A) Failure to elect, reelect or otherwise maintain the Executive in the offices or
positions in the Company or any Subsidiary which the Executive held immediately prior to
a Change in Control, or the removal of the Executive as a Director of the Company (or any
successor thereto) if the Executive shall have been a Director of the Company immediately
prior to the Change in Control, or the removal of the Executive as a member of the
managing authority of any Subsidiary if the Executive shall have been a member of such
body immediately prior to the Change in Control;

          (B) A significant adverse change in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers,
functions, responsibilities or duties attached to the position or positions with the
Company and its Subsidiaries which the Executive held immediately prior to the Change in
Control, a reduction in the aggregate of the Executive’s Base Pay and Incentive Pay
received from the Company and its Subsidiaries, or the termination of the Executive’s
rights to any Employee Benefits to which he was entitled immediately prior to the Change
in Control or a reduction in scope or value thereof without the prior written consent of
the Executive, any of which is not remedied within 10 calendar days after receipt by the
Company of written notice from the Executive of such change, reduction or termination, as
the case may be;

          (C) A determination by the Executive made in good faith that as a result of a
Change in Control and a change in circumstances thereafter significantly affecting his
position, including without limitation a change in the scope of the business or other
activities for which he was responsible immediately prior to the

5

 

Change in Control, he has been rendered substantially unable to carry out, has been
substantially hindered in the performance of, or has suffered a substantial reduction in,
any of the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities or duties attached to the
position held by the Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control, which
situation is not remedied within 10 calendar days after written notice to the Company
from the Executive of such determination;

          (D) The liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Company or transfer of all or a significant portion of its business and/or assets, unless
the successor or successors (by liquidation, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
otherwise) to which all or a significant portion of its business and/or assets have been
transferred (directly or by operation of law) shall have assumed all duties and
obligations of the Company under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 hereof;

          (E) The Company shall relocate its principal executive offices, or the Company or
any Subsidiary shall require the Executive to have his principal location of work
changed, to any location which is in excess of 25 miles from the location thereof
immediately prior to the Change in Control or the Company or any Subsidiary shall require
the Executive to travel away from his office in the course of discharging his
responsibilities or duties hereunder significantly more (in terms of either consecutive
days or aggregate days in any calendar year) than was required of him prior to the Change
in Control without, in either case, his prior written consent; or

          (F) Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, any material breach
of this Agreement by the Company or any successor thereto.

          (c) A termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof or by
the Executive pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall not affect any rights which the Executive may
have pursuant to any agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any
Subsidiary providing Employee Benefits, which rights shall be governed by the terms thereof. If
this Agreement or the employment of the Executive is terminated under circumstances in which the
Executive is not entitled to any payments under Section 3 or 5 hereof, the Executive shall have no
further obligation or liability to the Company hereunder with respect to his prior or any future
employment.

     5. Severance Compensation: (a) If, following the occurrence of a Change in Control,
the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate the Executive’s employment during the Period of
Employment other than pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, or if the Executive shall terminate his
employment pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company shall pay to the Executive the amount
specified in Section 5(a)(i) hereof within five business days after the Termination Date (as that
term is defined in Section 5(b)); provided, however, if the Executive is a “specified employee”
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and using the identification
methodology selected by the Company from time to time), then amounts that otherwise would be
payable pursuant to Sections 3(c), 5(a), 5(e) and 7(a) of this Agreement (as well as any other
payment or benefit that the Executive is entitled to receive upon his separation from service and
that would be considered to be deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code) during the
six-month period immediately following the Termination Date will instead be paid or made available
on the earlier of the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s Termination Date and
the Executive’s death:

          (i) In lieu of any further payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the
Termination Date, but without affecting the rights of the Executive referred to in Section
5(b) hereof, a lump sum payment (the “Severance Payment”) in an amount equal to two times the
Base Pay of the Executive.

          (ii) Commencing the Termination Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the first anniversary of the Termination Date, (ii) the Executive’s death, or
(iii) the Executive’s attainment of age 65 (the “Benefits Period”), the Company shall continue
to provide the Executive with medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug benefits
(collectively “health benefits”) and life insurance benefits substantially similar to those
which the Executive was receiving or entitled to receive immediately prior to the Termination
Date (and if and to the extent that such benefits shall not or cannot be paid or provided
under any policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries solely due
to the fact that the Executive is no longer an officer or employee of the Company and its

6

 

Subsidiaries, then the Company shall itself pay or provide for the payment to the Executive,
his dependents and beneficiaries, such health benefits and life insurance benefits). The
Executive shall pay the cost, on an after-tax basis, for the continued health benefit
coverage, on or about January 31 of the year following the year in which the Termination Date
occurs and continuing on or about each January 31 until the year following the last year of
the Benefits Period, and, subject to the first paragraph of this Section 5(a), concurrently
therewith the Company will make a payment to the Executive such that, after payment of all
taxes incurred by the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the continued health
benefit coverage and payment by the Company, the Executive retains an amount equal to the
amount the Executive paid during the immediately preceding calendar year for the health
benefit coverage described in this Section. Without otherwise limiting the purposes or
effect of Section 6 hereof, benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to this Section
5(a)(ii) by reason of any “welfare benefit plan” of the Company (as the term “welfare benefit
plan” is defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended) shall be reduced to the extent comparable welfare benefits are actually received by
the Executive from another employer during the Benefits Period.

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Date” means the date on with the Executive
incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each payment to
be made to the Executive under the provisions of this Agreement will be considered to be a separate
payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

          (c) There shall be no right of set-off or counterclaim in respect of any claim, debt or
obligation against any payment to or benefit for the Executive provided for in this Agreement.

          (d) Without limiting the rights of the Executive at law or in equity, if the Company fails to
make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis, the Company shall pay interest on
the amount thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%).

          (e) Subject to the first paragraph of Section 5(a), the Company will pay the Executive a lump
sum payment in an amount equal to the additional benefits that the Executive would have accrued
under each qualified or nonqualified pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation or supplemental
plan maintained by the Company for the Executive’s benefit had the Executive continued his
employment with the Company for one additional year following his Termination Date assuming the
Executive was fully vested under such plans.

     6. No Mitigation Obligation: The Company hereby acknowledges that it will be
difficult, and may be impossible, for the Executive to find reasonably comparable employment
following the Termination Date. In addition, the Company acknowledges that its severance pay plans
applicable in general to its salaried employees do not provide for mitigation, offset or reduction
of any severance payment received thereunder. Accordingly, the parties hereto expressly agree that
the payment of the severance compensation by the Company to the Executive in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement will be liquidated damages, and that the Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever
create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of the Executive
hereunder or otherwise.

     7. Indemnification of Legal Fees and Expenses; Security for Payment: (a)
Indemnification of Legal Fees. It is the intent of the Company that the Executive not be
required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of his rights under this Agreement
by litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially
detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive hereunder. Accordingly, if it
should appear to the Executive that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations
under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to
declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation designed to deny, or to
recover from, the Executive the benefits intended to be provided to the Executive hereunder, the
Company irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain counsel of his choice, at
the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to represent the Executive in connection with the
initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or
any Subsidiary, Director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the
Company and

7

 

such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to the Executive’s entering into an attorney-client
relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and the Executive agree that a
confidential relationship shall exist between the Executive and such counsel. The Company shall
pay or cause to be paid and shall be solely responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees
and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of the Company’s failure to perform this
Agreement or any provision hereof or as a result of the Company or any person contesting the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof as aforesaid, provided any
such reimbursement of attorneys’ and related fees and expenses shall be made not later than
December 31 of the year following the year in which the Executive incurred the expense. In no
event will the amount of expenses so reimbursed by the Company in one year affect the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

          (b) Trust Agreements. To ensure that the provisions of this Agreement can be
enforced by the Executive, two agreements (“Trust Agreement” and “Trust Agreement No. 2”) dated as
of February 10, 1989, have been established between National City Bank, a national banking
association (“Trustee”) and the Company. The Trust Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
relating to payment from the Trust Agreement of the Severance Payment and other Employee Benefits
pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof owed by the Company, and Trust Agreement No. 2 sets forth the terms
and conditions relating to payment from Trust Agreement No. 2 of attorneys’ and related fees and
expenses pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof owed by the Company. Executive shall make demand on the
Company for any payments due Executive pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof prior to making demand
therefor on the Trustee under Trust Agreement No. 2. Payments by such Trustee shall discharge the
Company’s liability under Section 7(a) hereof only to the extent that trust assets are used to
satisfy such liability.

          (c) Obligation of the Company to Fund Trusts. Upon the earlier to occur of (X) a
Change in Control that involves a transaction that was not approved by the Board, and was not
recommended to the Company’s shareholders by the Board, (Y) a declaration by the Board that the
Trusts should be funded in connection with a Change in Control that involves a transaction that was
approved by the Board, or was recommended to shareholders by the Board, or (Z) a declaration by the
Board that a Change in Control is imminent, the Company shall promptly, to the extent it
has not previously done so and to the extent the amount contributed would not be treated as
property transferred in connection with the performances of services for purposes of Code Section
83, as provided in Section 409A(b)(3) of the Code, and in any event within five (5) business days:

          (i) transfer to the Trustee to be added to the principal of the trust under the Trust
Agreement a sum equal to the aggregate value on the date of the Change in Control of the
Severance Payment and Employee Benefits which could become payable to Executive under the
provisions of Section 5(a)(i) and Section 5(a)(ii) hereof; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to transfer, in the aggregate, to the trust under the Trust Agreement a
sum in excess of the maximum amount authorized by its Board by resolutions on February 10,
1989, which resolutions contemplate the funding of the trust under the Trust Agreement. Any
Severance Payment or other payment of Employee Benefits by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust
Agreement shall, to the extent thereof, discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the
Severance Payment and other Employee Benefits hereunder, it being the intent of the Company
that assets in such Trust be held as security for the Company’s obligation to pay the
Severance Payment and other Employee Benefits under this Agreement; and

          (ii) transfer to the Trustee to be added to the principal of the trust under Trust
Agreement No. 2 the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Any payments of attorneys’ and
related fees and expenses, which are the obligation of the Company under Section 7(a) hereof,
by the Trustee pursuant to Trust Agreement No. 2 shall, to the extent thereof, discharge the
Company’s obligation hereunder, it being the intent of the Company that such assets in such
Trust be held as security for the Company’s obligation under Section 7(a) hereof.

     8. Employment Rights: Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall create any
right or duty on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the
employment of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to any Change in Control, provided, however, that
any termination of employment of the Executive or the removal of the Executive from such
Executive’s office or position following the commencement of any discussion with a third person
that ultimately results in a Change in Control shall be deemed to be a termination or removal of
the Executive after a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

8

 

     9. Withholding of Taxes: The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this
Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or
government regulation or ruling.

     10. Successors and Binding Agreement: (a) The Company shall require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring
directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company
whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall
thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be
assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees
and/or legatees.

          (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the
consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder except as expressly provided in Section 10(a) hereof. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable,
transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other
than by a transfer by his will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any
attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 10(c), the Company shall have no
liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

          (d) The Company and the Executive recognize that each party will have no adequate remedy at
law for breach by the other of any of the agreements contained herein and, in the event of any such
breach, the Company and the Executive hereby agree and consent that the other shall be entitled to
a decree of specific performance, mandamus or other appropriate remedy to enforce performance of
this Agreement.

     11. Notice: For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications including without
limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals, provided for herein shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five business days after having been
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) at its principal
executive office and to the Executive at his principal residence, or to such other address as any
party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of
change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

     12. Governing Law: The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the
principles of conflict of laws of such State.

     13. Validity: If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision
hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the
remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or
circumstances shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or
otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it
enforceable, valid and legal.

     14. Entire Agreement: This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and replaces any and all prior agreements pertaining
thereto. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to
the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this
Agreement.

     15. Amendment: No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged
unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and
the Company. No waiver by either party hereto

9

 

at any time of any breach by the other party hereto
or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time.

     16. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the
same agreement.

     17. Code Section 409A Compliance: To the extent applicable, it is intended that this
Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement will be
administered in a manner consistent with this intent. References to Section 409A of the Code will
include any proposed, temporary or final regulation, or any other formal guidance, promulgated with
respect to such section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered
as of the date first above written.

DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED

SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN I

Amended and Restated January 1, 2008

ARTICLE I

PLAN

The Diebold, Incorporated Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) originally adopted
effective January 1, 1990 is hereby amended and restated, effective as of January 1, 2008. This
Amended and Restated Plan applies to any Participant who retires, is disabled or is deceased on or
after January 1, 2008, except as to such Participant’s Grandfathered Benefits. Any Participant who
reaches any one of these events prior to January 1, 2008 and any Participant’s Grandfathered
Benefits would be governed by the terms of the plan then in effect. The Plan is being amended as
of January 1, 2008 to comply with the final regulations under Code Section 409A, as enacted by the
American Jobs Creation Act.

ARTICLE II

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

This Plan was created for the principal purpose of providing retirement income for a select group
of executive and highly compensated management employees, within the meaning of Section 201(2),
301(a)(3) and 401(a)(i) of ERISA, of Diebold, Incorporated and its subsidiary organizations. It is
intended to supplement benefits payable under the Diebold, Incorporated Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees, as well as benefits payable under the Federal Social Security Act and certain
other deferred compensation arrangements. During the period from January 1, 2005 and until the
effective date of this Restatement, the Plan was operated in good faith compliance with IRS Notice
2005-1 proposed regulations under Code §409A and other applicable guidance.

ARTICLE III

DEFINITIONS

	(a)	 	The following definitions shall apply with respect to this Plan:

	 	(1)	 	“Actuarially Equivalent” shall mean, except where otherwise indicated, a
benefit of equivalent value to the benefit it replaces calculated on the basis of the

§414(o). For all purposes under this Plan, in applying Code §1563(a)(1), (2) and (3)
for purposes of determining the Company’s Affiliates under Code §414(b), the language
“at least 80%” shall be applied as it appears in those sections, and in applying Treas.
Reg. §1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or business (whether or not

	 	(3)	 	“Annual Compensation” shall mean a Participant’s base pay from an Employer for
any Plan Year plus the Participant’s Annual Cash Bonus in the Plan Year in which it is
accrued. Annual Compensation shall also include amounts paid to individuals who are
citizens or residents of the United States and who are employees of, or provide
services to, a foreign Affiliate of the Company to which an agreement entered into by
the Company under Code Section 3121(l) applies.
	 
	 	(4)	 	“Beneficiary” shall mean a person or entity selected by the Participant or an
eligible surviving Spouse that may receive death benefits under this Plan, as are
outlined in Article X.
	 
	 	(5)	 	“Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of Diebold, Incorporated.

	 
	 	(6)	 	“Change in Control” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Article XI.

with Article XI.

	 	(16)	 	“Employer” shall mean (a) the Company or its successors, and (b) any Affiliate

payments of 50% of such reduced amount after his death to his surviving Spouse until
the first day of the month in which occurs the surviving Spouse’s death.
	 
	 	(19)	 	“Final Average Monthly Compensation” shall mean one-twelfth of the average of
the Participant’s Annual Compensation for the five complete consecutive calendar years
during his last 10 calendar years of employment with the Employer during which his
compensation was the highest. In the event a Participant has been employed for a
period of less than five consecutive calendar years, the Participant’s Final Average
Monthly Compensation shall be the average of his monthly compensation amounts in effect
for all of the complete calendar months during which he was employed by the Employer.
	 
	 	(20)	 	“Grandfathered Benefits” shall mean the amount of annuity benefit, if any, of a
Participant under the Plan that was earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 and that
the Committee has determined to grandfather within the meaning of Code §409A. Such
Grandfathered Benefit shall be based on the present value as of December 31, 2004, of
the vested amount to which the Participant would be entitled under the Plan if the
Participant voluntarily terminated services without cause on December 31, 2004, and
received a payment of the benefits with the maximum value available at the earliest
possible date allowed under the Plan following the termination of services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any calendar year after December 31, 2004, such
Grandfathered Benefit may increase (or decrease) to equal the present value of the
benefit the Participant actually becomes entitled to, determined under the terms of the
Plan (including the applicable limits under the Code), as in effect on October 3, 2004,
without regard to any further amounts affecting the amount of or the entitlement to
benefits (other than a Participant election with respect to the time and form of an

Retirement Benefit which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the single life annuity under
the Plan and is payable to the Participant for his life, with continuance of monthly

amended, or its successor.
	 
	 	(30)	 	“Separation from Service” shall mean a Participant dies, retires, or otherwise
has a Termination of Employment from the Employer. A Separation from Service shall not
be considered to have occurred if the Participant’s employment relationship is treated
by the Employer as continuing while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave,
or other bona fide leave of absence if such period of leave does not exceed 6 months
or, if longer, so long as the individual’s right to reemployment is provided by statute
or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds 6 months and such reemployment rights
are not provided, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date
immediately following such 6-month period. Whether a Separation from Service has
occurred will be determined in accordance with the requirements of Code §409A.

4

 

	 	(31)	 	“Service Fraction” shall mean, for any Participant, a fraction, the numerator
of which is the lesser of (A) the Participant’s years of Company Service, or (B) 15,

Federal Social Security Act to which a Participant would be entitled as of the later of
his Normal Retirement Date or the date of his actual retirement, computed on the basis
of the Participant’s average wage history (estimated or actual) for years before the
date of determination and, in the case of a Participant who terminates employment with
the Employer prior to his Normal Retirement Date, by assuming that the Participant will
earn wages after his termination of employment and prior to his Normal Retirement Date
at a rate equal to the Participant’s wage rate at the time of his termination of
employment. If a Participant in this Plan is not eligible for full Social Security
Benefits (for example, an individual who has previously worked in the military), for
purposes of determining benefits under this Plan, such Social Security Benefits would
be imputed as if he had been so eligible and had been covered by Social Security for
his entire working career.
	 
	 	(33)	 	“Specified Employee” shall mean a key employee as defined in Code
Section 416(i) as further interpreted by the Treasury Regulations issued under Code
Section 409A.

with his duties or in the course of his employment with the Employer;

which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the
date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional
information or, if earlier, the expiration of 60 days.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The Committee’s review of a denied claim shall take into
account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the
claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

	 	(v)	 	Notice of Adverse Determination for Claim on Review. A notice of an
adverse determination for a claim on review shall set forth in a manner calculated to
be understood by the claimant:

	 	(A)	 	the specific reasons for the denial;
	 
	 	(B)	 	references to the specific provisions of the Plan document (or
other applicable Plan document) on which the adverse determination is based.
	 
	 	(C)	 	a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,
records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits;
	 
	 	(D)	 	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered
by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain information about such
procedures; and
	 
	 	(E)	 	a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under
ERISA §502(a).

	(e)	 	Deadline to File Claim. To be considered timely under the Plan’s claim and review
procedure, a claim must be filed with the Committee within 1 year after the claimant knew or
reasonably should have known of the principal facts upon which the claim is based.
	 
	(f)	 	Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. The exhaustion of the claim and review
procedure is mandatory for resolving every claim and dispute arising under the Plan as to such
claims and disputes.

	 	(i)	 	No claimant shall be permitted to commence any legal action to recover Plan
benefits or to enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under Section 502 or Section
510 of ERISA or under any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, until the
claim and review procedure set forth herein have been exhausted in their entirety; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	In any such legal action all explicit and all implicit determinations by the
Committee (including, but not limited to, determinations as to whether the claim, or a
request for a review of a denied claim, was timely filed) shall be afforded the maximum
deference permitted by law.

19

 

	(g)	 	Deadline to File Legal Action. No legal action to recover Plan benefits or to
enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under Section 502 of ERISA or under any other
provision of law, whether or not statutory, may be brought by any claimant on any matter
pertaining to the Plan unless the legal action is commenced in the proper forum before the
earlier of:

	 	(i)	 	30 months after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the
principal facts on which the claim is based, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	6 months after the claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedure.

	(h)	 	Knowledge of Fact by Participant Imputed to Beneficiary. Knowledge of all facts that
a Participant knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to every claimant who is
or claims to be a Beneficiary of the Participant or otherwise claims to derive an entitlement
by reference to the Participant.
	 
	(i)	 	Information Furnished by Participants. Neither the Company nor the Committee shall
be liable or responsible for any error in the computation of the accrued benefit of a
Participant resulting from any misstatement of fact made by the Participant, directly or
indirectly, to the Company or the Committee, and used by it in determining the Participant’s
accrued benefit. The Company and the Committee shall not be obligated or required to increase
the accrued benefit of such Participant which, on discovery of the misstatement, is found to
be understated as a result of such misstatement of the Participant. However, the accrued
benefit of any Participant which is overstated by reason of any such misstatement shall be
reduced to the amount appropriate in view of accurate facts.
	 
	(j)	 	Overpayments. If a payment or series of payments made from this Plan is found to be
greater than the accrued benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled due to
factual errors, mathematical errors or otherwise, the Committee may, in its discretion and to
the extent consistent with Code §409A, and in addition to or in lieu of any other legal
remedies it may have, suspend or reduce future benefits to such Participant or Beneficiary as
it deems appropriate to correct the overpayment.

ARTICLE XIV

OPTIONAL FORMS AND TIMING OF BENEFITS

	(a)	 	Automatic Form of Payment. The automatic form of payment for any Supplemental
Retirement Benefit shall be a single life annuity.
	 
	(b)	 	Annuity Options. Any Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 2001 who marries a
Spouse at any time after January 1, 2001 and any future Participants in the Plan after January
1, 2001, may, in

20

 

	 	 	lieu of the automatic single life annuity form of payment, elect to receive his benefit in
any of the following actuarially equivalent optional forms of payment:

OPTION 1: 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity

OPTION 2: 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity
	 
	(c)	 	Timing of Benefit Payments. Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall commence at the
following times for each of the identified Supplemental Retirement Benefits:

	 	(i)	 	Normal Retirement Benefits under Article V shall commence as of the
later of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or the first of the month coincident
with or next following his actual Separation from Service; provided, however, if such
Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall commence on the first day of the
month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the Participant’s
Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period shall be
accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Early Retirement Benefits under Article VI shall commence on the first
day of the month following the later of the Participant’s attaining his Early
Retirement Age or his actual Separation from Service; provided, however, if such
Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall commence on the first day of the
month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the Participant’s
Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period shall be
accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Involuntary Termination Benefits under Article VII shall commence on
the first day of the month following the later of the month in which the Participant
attains Early Retirement Age or Participant’s actual Separation from Service; provided,
however, if such Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall not commence prior
to the first day of the month which follows the expiration of a period of six months
from the date of Participant’s Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such
six-month period shall be accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	10-Year or 15-Year Service Benefits under Articles VIII and IX
respectively shall commence on the first day of the month following the later of the
month in which the Participant attains Early Retirement Age or Participant’s actual
Separation from Service; provided, however, if such Participant is a Specified
Employee, payment shall not commence prior to the first day of the month which follows
the expiration of a period of six months from the date of Participant’s Separation from
Service. Benefits payable

21

 

	 	 	 	during such six-month period shall be accumulated and paid at the time of
commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Disability Benefits under Article X shall commence on an unreduced
actuarial basis, on the first day of the month following the month of Participant’s
Separation from Service by reason of Total Disability. Payments shall continue until
the earlier of the first day of the month for which the Participant is determined to no
longer have a Total Disability or the first day of the month in which the Participant
dies (unless a survivor annuity option has been selected, in which case payments shall
continue to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse). The Committee may, in its discretion,
take such steps as it deems necessary to determine the continued existence of a
Participant’s Total Disability and may cease the Disability Benefit payable hereunder
if it is established to the Committee’s satisfaction (as determined under the same
standards recognized at the time Participant was determined as suffering a Total
Disability) that such Total Disability no longer exists or Social Security Disability
Benefits are no longer being paid. If a Participant’s Disability Benefit ceases
because the Participant has recovered from the Total Disability, the Participant may be
eligible for a benefit under the other provisions of the Plan.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	Change in Control Benefits under Article XI shall commence on the first
day of the month following the later of the month in which the Participant attains
Early Retirement Age or Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, however, if
such Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall not commence prior to the first
day of the month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the
Participant’s Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period
shall be accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	Death Benefits under Article XII shall be paid as follows:

	 	(A)	 	Pre-Retirement Death Benefits shall commence the later
of the date the Participant attains Early Retirement Age or his date of death.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Post-Retirement Death Benefits shall commence as of the
first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant’s
death, and shall continue to be paid as of the first day of each month
thereafter until the first day of the month that includes the date of the death
of the surviving Spouse.

	 	(viii)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Plan Benefit payable hereunder will be treated as
made as stated herein if the payment is made at such time or a later date within the
same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month
following such date.

22

 

	 	(ix)	 	Withholding of Taxes. The benefits payable under the Plan shall be
subject to the deduction of any federal, state or local income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (FICA), FUTA or other taxes that are required to be withheld from
such payments by applicable laws and regulations.
	 
	 	(x)	 	Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding this Article XI, each
Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be paid to him upon termination of
the Plan to the extent provided in Article XIV.
	 
	 	(xi)	 	Delay of Payment. Notwithstanding this Article XIV, the Company may
delay the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement
Benefit as follows:

	 	(A)	 	The Committee reasonably anticipates that if the Supplemental
Retirement Benefits were made as scheduled, the Company’s deduction with
respect to such payments would not be permitted under Section 162(m) of the
Code; provided such payments are then made during the Participant’s first
taxable year in which the Committee reasonably anticipates that the Company’s
deduction would not be barred by application of Section 162(m) of the Code.
	 
	 	(B)	 	The Committee reasonably anticipates that making scheduled
payments would violate Federal Securities laws or other applicable laws
provided such payments are then made at the earliest date at which the
Committee reasonably contemplates that making the scheduled payments will not
cause such a violation.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

	(a)	 	Funding. The obligation of the Employers to pay benefits under the Plan constitutes
the unsecured promise of the Employers to make payments from their general assets, and no
Participant or Spouse shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property
of the Employers. With respect to the benefits under the Plan, each Participant or Spouse
shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Participant’s Employer. The
Company may establish a so-called “rabbi trust” to hold funds, stock or other securities to be
used in payment of the obligations of the Employers 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 any other Employer for which the Participant performs
services. It is the intention of the Employers that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and
for purposes of Title I of ERISA. No liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan
shall be imposed upon any officer,

23

 

	 	 	director, employee or stockholder of the Company or any other Employer, or upon the Board,
the Committee or any member thereof.
	 
	(b)	 	No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute a guaranty
by any Employer, the Committee or the Board that the assets of any Employer will be sufficient
to pay any benefit hereunder.
	 
	(c)	 	Assignments and Restrictions. To the extent permitted by law, and except as
otherwise provided in this Section (c), no right or interest of a Participant or Spouse under
this Plan shall be transferable or assignable (either at law or in equity) nor shall any such
right or interest be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, attachment,
garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process of any kind, voluntary or
involuntary, or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts of any Participant or
Spouse. If a Participant shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate,
sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason
of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone
else or would not be enjoyed by him, then the Company, in its discretion, may terminate his
interest in any such benefit to the extent the Company considers necessary or advisable to
prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a
“termination declaration” with the Committee and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy
to the Participant (the “Terminated Participant”) whose interest is affected thereby. As long
as the Terminated Participant is alive, any benefits affected by the termination shall be
retained by the Company and, in the Company’s sole and absolute judgment, may be paid to or
expended for the benefit of the Terminated Participants, his spouse, his children or any other
person or persons in fact dependent upon him in such a manner as the Company shall deem
proper. Upon the death of the Terminated Participant, all benefits withheld from him and not
paid to others in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Terminated
Participant’s surviving Spouse or, if none, to the Terminated Participant’s then living
descendants, including adopted children, per stripes.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable under this Plan may be withheld by the
Company as they become due to the extent necessary to cover any debts or other obligations
owed to the Company by the Participant, but only if such debts or other obligations are
acknowledged as such in writing by the Participant or are confirmed as such by a final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
	 
	(d)	 	Headings. The various headings used in this Plan are for convenience only and shall
not be used in interpreting the test of the Article, Section, paragraph or subparagraph in
which they appear.

24

 

	(e)	 	Employment. The establishment of this Plan shall not be construed to give any
Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer.
	 
	(f)	 	Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.
	 
	(g)	 	Binding Effect on Employer, Participants, Spouses and Their Successors. This Plan
shall be binding and inure to the benefit of any Employer or its successors and assigns, and
the Participants, Spouses and their heirs, legatees, distributes, executors, administrators or
other legal representatives.
	 
	(h)	 	Participant Information. Each participant shall keep the Committee informed of his
current address and the current address of his Spouse, if applicable. The Participant shall
furnish to the Committee any and all information deemed by the Committee to be necessary or
desirable for the proper administration of the Plan.
	 
	(i)	 	Incapacity. In the event that a Participant or Spouse is declared incompetent and a
guardian, conservator or other person is appointed and legally charged with the care of the
person or the person’s estate, the payments under the Plan to which such Participant or
Spouse is entitled shall be paid to such guardian, conservator or other person legally charged
with the care of the person or the estate. Except as provided hereinabove, when the Company,
in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant or Spouse is unable to manage his or
her financial affairs, the Company may make distribution(s) of the amounts payable to such
Participant or Spouse to any one or more of the spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants or
other closest living relatives of such Participant or Spouse who demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Company the propriety of making such distribution(s). Any payment so made
shall not exceed such amount as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code and shall be in
complete discharge of any liability under this Agreement for such payment. The Company shall
not be required to see to the application of any such distribution made under this Section.
	 
	(j)	 	Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and the
benefits payable hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan
and the benefits payable hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this
intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or benefit payable 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).

25

 

ARTICLE XVI

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	(a)	 	Amendment. The Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect whatsoever by
the Company and by the Committee to the extent consistent with its delegated authority. Any
such amendment may be retroactive, prospective or both. No such amendment of the Plan
document or termination of the Plan, however, shall reduce a Participant’s accrued benefit
earned as of the date of such amendment unless the Participant so affected consents in writing
to the amendment or such amendment is deemed necessary by the Company to affect the intended
purposes of this Plan and/or to comply with applicable law.
	 
	(b)	 	Termination. The Company reserves the right to discontinue benefit accruals at any
time. The Company also reserves the right to cause an acceleration of the time and form of a
Plan payment where the acceleration of such payment is made in accordance with one of the
following provisions:

	 	(i)	 	Dissolution or Bankruptcy. At the discretion of the Company within 12
months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code §331 or with the approval of a
bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that Plan benefits are
included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of:

	 	(A)	 	the calendar year in which the Plan termination and liquidation
occurs;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	the first calendar year in which payment is administratively
feasible.

	 	(ii)	 	Discretionary Termination. At the discretion of the Company, provided
that:

	 	(A)	 	the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Company;
	 
	 	(B)	 	all other arrangements sponsored by the Company that would be
aggregated with this arrangement under Code §409A are also terminated, to the
extent any Participant in this Plan also has a benefit under any such other
arrangement;
	 
	 	(C)	 	no payments in liquidation of the Plan, other than payments
that would have been made under this Plan had the termination not occurred, are
made from the Plan within 12 months of the termination;
	 
	 	(D)	 	all benefits are fully distributed within 24 months of such
termination; and
	 
	 	(E)	 	the Company does not adopt a new arrangement that would be
aggregated under Code §409A with this Plan for 3 years following the date the
Company has taken all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate
this Plan
