Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and shall be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions:

	A.		Each grant shall specify the number of Shares to which it pertains subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5-B of the Plan.

	E.		Successive grants may be made to the same Grantee whether or not any Option Rights previously granted to such Grantee remain unexercised.

	F.		Each grant shall specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Grantee with the Company or any Subsidiary which is necessary before the Option Rights or installments thereof will become exercisable and may provide for the earlier exercise of such Option Rights in the event of Retirement, death or disability, a change in control or other similar transaction or event. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, the Option Rights shall immediately become exercisable upon the Retirement of the Grantee and shall remain exercisable until 10 years from the Date of Grant.

	G.		Any grant of Option Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition to the exercise of such Option Rights.

	C.		Each such grant or sale shall provide that the Restricted Shares covered by such grant or sale shall be subject, except (if the Committee shall so determine) in the event of Retirement, death or disability or a change in control or other similar transaction or event, for a period of not less than 3 years to be determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, the Restricted Shares shall immediately become nonforfeitable upon the Retirement of the Grantee.

	D.		Each such grant or sale shall provide that during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Committee at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Company or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee).

	E.		Any grant of Restricted Shares may specify Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such shares and each such grant shall specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives, a minimum acceptable level of achievement and shall set forth a formula for determining the number of Restricted Shares on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.

	F.		Any such grant or sale of Restricted Shares may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid thereon during the period of such restrictions be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award.

	G.		Each grant or sale of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall contain such terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve.

	C.		Each such grant or sale shall be subject, except (if the Committee shall so determine) in the event of Retirement, death or disability or a change in control or other similar transaction or event, to a Deferral Period of not less than 3 years, as determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, the Deferral Period shall immediately lapse upon the Retirement of the Grantee.

	D.		During the Deferral Period, the Grantee shall have no right to transfer any rights under his or her award and will have no voting rights.

	G.		Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an agreement containing such terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve.

9. APPRECIATION RIGHTS

The Committee may also authorize grants to Grantees of Appreciation Rights.

	A.		Each grant will specify the number of Performance Shares to which it pertains, which number may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors; provided, however, that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code.

	B.		The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share will be such period of time (not less than one year), as will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant which may be subject to earlier lapse or other modification in the event of the Retirement, death or disability of a Grantee, or a change of control of the Company or other similar transaction or event.

	A.		ADJUSTMENTS IN THE EVENT OF CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK

			The Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of Shares covered by outstanding Option Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Appreciation Rights or Performance Shares granted hereunder, in the price per share applicable to such Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and in the kind of shares covered thereby, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantees that otherwise would result from (i) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (iii) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. With respect to each adjustment contemplated by the foregoing sentence, no such adjustment shall be made to the extent that such adjustment would cause an award to violate the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under the Plan such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of Shares specified in Section 5-B of the Plan as the Committee in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is appropriate to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 12-A; provided, however, that any such adjustment to the number specified in Section 5-B(iii)(a) will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any Option Right intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify.

	B.		TRANSFERABILITY

	(i)		Except as provided in Section 12-B(iii) below, no Option Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Stock Unit, Appreciation Right or Performance Share granted under the Plan will be transferable by a Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights will be exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal representative.

	(ii)		The Committee may specify at the Date of Grant that part or all of the Shares that are (a) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights or upon payment under any grant of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares or (b) no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 7 of the Plan, will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

	(iii)		The Committee may determine that Option Rights (other than Incentive Stock Options), Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Appreciation Rights may be transferable by a Grantee, without payment of consideration therefor by the transferee, only to any one or more members of the Grantee’s immediate family; provided, however, that (a) no such transfer shall be effective unless reasonable prior notice thereof is delivered to the Company and such transfer is thereafter effected in accordance with any terms and conditions that shall have been made applicable thereto by the Company or the Board and (b) any such transferee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions hereunder as the Grantee. For the purposes of this Section 12-B, the term “immediate family” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Grantee’s household (other than a tenant or Grantee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Grantee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests.

			The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Grantee to pay such taxes through the withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable to such Grantee or the delivery to the Company of Shares otherwise acquired by the Grantee. In no event, however, shall the Company accept Shares for payment of taxes in excess of required tax withholding rates, except that, in the discretion of the Committee, a Grantee or such other person may surrender Shares owned for more than six months to satisfy any tax obligations resulting from any such transaction.

	E.		RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT

			Nothing in the Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or service as a Nonemployee Director or affect any right which the Company has to terminate any Grantee’s employment or other service at any time.

	F.		GOVERNING LAW

			The Plan and all grants and awards and actions taken thereunder shall be construed and its provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the internal substantive laws of Ohio, except to the extent that such laws may be superseded by any federal laws.

	G.		AWARDS NOT TREATED AS COMPENSATION UNDER BENEFIT PLANS

			No awards under the Plan shall be considered as compensation under any employee benefit plan of the Company, except as specifically provided in any such plan or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

	H.		ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL SHARES

			If, under any provision of the Plan or formula used to calculate award levels of Option Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Appreciation Rights or Performance Shares, the number so computed is not a whole number, such number of shares shall be rounded down to the next whole number.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE

	A.		To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Grantees. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

	B.		Neither a Grantee nor any of a Grantee’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Grantee or for a Grantee’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Grantee to the Company or any of its affiliates.

	C.		If, at the time of a Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Grantee shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh month after such six-month period.

	D.		Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Grantee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Grantee or for a Grantee’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

14. EFFECTIVE DATE/APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS

	A.		Upon approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders, the effective date of the Plan shall be June 16, 2010.

	B.		All Options granted prior to June 16, 2010, including grants of Options to acquire treasury shares to Nonemployee Directors, shall be governed by the terms of the Plan, prior to the June 16, 2010 amendment and restatement, except as otherwise provided herein.

15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan may be amended from time to time or suspended or terminated by the Committee; provided, however, that any amendment that must be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Shares are traded or quoted, shall not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may amend the Plan to eliminate provisions which are no longer necessary as a result of changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof.
