10.04 Exercising and Settling SARs. SARs may be exercised only if all applicable terms and conditions have been met before the Expiration Date and only by sending to the Committee (or its designee) a completed exercise notice (in the form prescribed by the Committee). As soon as administratively feasible after the SARs are exercised, SARs will be settled in [1] full Shares equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the SARs are exercised and the Exercise Price, multiplied by [a] the number of SARs being exercised, and divided by [b] the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the SARs are exercised, [2] cash equal to [a] the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the SARs are exercised and the Exercise Price, multiplied by [b] the whole number of SARs being exercised or [3] a combination of full Shares and cash computed under Sections 10.04[1] and [2]. The method of settling SARs will be specified in the associated Award Agreement. However, in no case may SARs relating to fractional Shares be exercised; any SAR relating to a fractional Share will be automatically cancelled without any consideration to the affected Participant.

10.05 Rights Associated With SARs. Unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement, a Participant will have no voting or dividend rights with respect to the Shares underlying an unexercised SAR.

11.00 PERFORMANCE SHARES

11.01 Nature of Award. Performance Shares give a Participant the right to receive a specified number of Shares if the terms and conditions described in the Plan and the associated Award Agreement (including those based on Performance Criteria) are met at the end of the Performance Period. However, Performance Shares will be forfeited to the extent that applicable terms and conditions have not been met at the end of the Performance Period.

11.02 Granting Performance Shares. The Committee may grant Performance Shares to Employees, Consultants and Directors. The Award Agreement associated with each Performance Share grant will describe the terms and conditions that must be met at the end of the Performance Period if the Award is to be earned and settled (including any performance objectives), the duration of the Performance Period, the number of Performance Shares subject to the Award and any other terms and conditions affecting the Performance Shares and may specify that the Performance Shares are a Performance-Based Award under Section 15.00.

11.03 Earning Performance Shares. After the end of a Performance Period, the Committee will certify the extent to which each Participant has or has not met applicable performance objectives and other terms and conditions specified in the associated Award Agreement. Performance Shares will be settled or forfeited depending on the extent to which the applicable performance objectives have been met at the end of the Performance Period. As soon as administratively feasible after the Committee’s certification, a Participant will receive one Share for each Performance Share earned, and any fractional Share relating to an earned Performance Share will be cancelled without any consideration to the affected Participant.

11.04 Rights Associated With Performance Shares. During the Performance Period and unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement, a Participant will have no voting or dividend rights with respect to Shares underlying the Performance Shares.

12.00 PERFORMANCE UNITS

Performance Units give a Participant the right to receive cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares if the terms and conditions described in the Plan and the associated Award Agreement (including those based on Performance Criteria) are met at the end of the Performance Period. However, Performance Units will be forfeited to the extent that applicable terms and conditions have not been met at the end of the Performance Period.

12.02 Granting Performance Units. The Committee may grant Performance Units to Employees, Consultants and Directors. The Award Agreement associated with each Performance Unit grant will describe the terms and conditions that must be met at the end of the Performance Period if the Award is to be earned and settled (including any performance objectives), the duration of the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units subject to the Award and any other terms and conditions affecting the Performance Units and may specify that the Performance Units are a Performance-Based Award under Section 15.00.

12.03 Earning Performance Units. After the end of a Performance Period, the Committee will certify the extent to which each Participant has or has not met applicable performance

objectives and other terms and conditions specified in the associated Award Agreement. Performance Units will be settled or forfeited depending on the extent to which the applicable performance objectives have been met at the end of the Performance Period. As soon as administratively feasible after the Committee’s certification, each Participant will receive cash equal to the number of Performance Units to be settled, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the settlement date.

12.04 Rights Associated With Performance Units. During the Performance Period and unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement, a Participant will have no voting or dividend rights with respect to the Performance Units or the Shares underlying the Performance Units.

13.00 CASH-BASED AWARDS

The Committee may grant Cash-Based Awards to Employees, Consultants and Directors. The Award Agreement associated with each Cash-Based Award grant will describe the terms and conditions affecting the Cash-Based Award and may specify that the Cash-Based Award is a Performance-Based Award under Section 15.00.

14.00 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

14.01 Nature of Award. Dividend Equivalents give a Participant the right to receive the same dividends the Participant would have received had he or she actually owned the Shares underlying the Dividend Equivalent Award but only if the terms and conditions described in the associated Award Agreement are met. If those conditions are not met, the Dividend Equivalent will be forfeited.

14.02 Granting Dividend Equivalents. At any time during the term of the Plan, the Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents to Employees, Consultants and Directors. The Award Agreement associated with each Dividend Equivalent grant will describe the terms and conditions that must be met if the Award is to be earned and settled, the form in which the Award will be settled if it is earned and any other terms and conditions affecting the Dividend Equivalents and may specify that the Dividend Equivalents are a Performance-Based Award under Section 15.00.

14.03 Earning Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents will be:

[1] Forfeited, if the applicable terms and conditions have not been met; or

[2] Settled in the manner described in Section 14.04, if the applicable terms and conditions have been met.

14.04 Settling Dividend Equivalents. If the terms and conditions specified in the associated Award Agreement are met, Dividend Equivalents will be settled in cash without any adjustment to reflect the time-value of money during the period beginning on the date that the dividend would have been paid had the Participant actually owned the underlying Shares and the date the Dividend Equivalents are settled. The date Dividend Equivalents are settled will be specified in the associated Award Agreement.

15.00 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

15.01 Nature of the Award. A Performance-Based Award may be granted to any Participant in any form of Award, and the associated Award Agreement may specify that the Award is intended to be qualified performance-based compensation under Code §162(m). As determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the grant, vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of any Performance-Based Award will be conditioned on the attainment of performance objectives derived from one or more Performance Criteria over a Performance Period.

15.02 Performance Criteria.

[1] The performance objectives relating to a Performance-Based Award will be derived from one or more of the following Performance Criteria:

			[a] Net earnings;
			[b] Earnings per Share;
			[c] Net sales;
			[d] Net income (before and after taxes);
			[e] Net income;
			[f] Net operating profit;
			[g] Return measures (including return on assets, capital, equity or sales);
			[h] Cash flow (including operating cash flow and free cash flow);
			[i] Cash flow return on capital;
			[j] Earnings before and after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization;
			[k] Gross or operating margins;
			[l] Productivity ratios;
			[m] Share price (including total stockholder return);
			[n] Expense targets; and
			[o] Margins.

[2] Different Performance Criteria may be applied to individual Participants or to groups of Participants and, as specified by the Committee, may be based on the results achieved [a] separately by the Company and/or any Related Entity, [b] by any combination of the Company and its Related Entities or [c] by any combination of segments, products or divisions of the Company and Related Entities. In addition, the

performance objectives may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or measured relative to selected peer companies or a market index.

15.03 Establishing Performance Objectives.

[1] With respect to Participants who are Covered Officers, the Committee will establish in writing [a] the performance objectives to be applied to each Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Officer and the Performance Period over which their attainment will be measured, [b] the method for computing the Performance-Based Award that will be granted, vested, exercisable and/or settled if (and to the extent that) the Covered Officer meets those performance objectives and [c] the Covered Officer or class of Covered Officers meets to which the performance objectives apply.

[2] Performance objectives relating to Covered Officers must be established in writing [a] while the outcome for that Performance Period is substantially uncertain and [b] no later than 90 days after the beginning of the applicable Performance Period or, if earlier, after 25 percent of the applicable Performance Period has elapsed.

[3] The Committee may grant Performance-Based Awards to Participants who are not Covered Officers either by [a] following the procedures described in Sections 15.03[1] and [2] or [b] by following any other procedure the Committee believes is appropriate.

15.04 Certification of Performance. The Committee will certify in writing whether the performance objectives and other terms and conditions imposed on a Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Officer have been met at the end of the related Performance Period and no Performance-Based Award will be granted, vested, exercisable and/or settled to or with respect to a Covered Officer until the Committee makes this certification. The Committee may adopt this same procedure (or apply another procedure it believes to be appropriate) to establish whether the terms and conditions associated with Performance-Based Awards granted to Participants who are not Covered Officers have been met.

15.05 Modifying Performance-Based Awards. Once established, the Committee may not revise any performance objectives associated with a Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Officer or increase the amount of the Performance-Based Award that may be granted, vested, exercisable and/or settled to or with respect to a Covered Officer if those performance objectives are met. However, to the extent consistent with Code §162(m), performance objectives affecting Covered Officers may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items or unforeseen events. In addition, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of any Cash-Based Award that may be granted, vested, exercisable and/or settled if the performance objectives are met.

16.00 TERMINATION/OTHER LIMITS ON EXERCISABILITY

16.01 Effect of Termination on Awards Other Than Performance-Based Awards. Unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement or the Plan, the following treatment will

apply to Awards other than Performance-Based Awards upon a Termination:

[1] Retirement. If a Participant Terminates due to Retirement:

[a] All Options and SARs then held by the Participant (whether or not then exercisable) will be fully exercisable on the Retirement date and may be exercised at any time before the earlier of [i] the Expiration Date specified in the Award Agreement or [ii] 24 months after the Retirement date. However, an Incentive Stock Option that is not exercised within three months after the Retirement date will be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

[b] A prorata portion of all Dividend Equivalents, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant will be vested on the Retirement date. The amount vested will equal the number of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents that are, by their terms, unvested at Retirement multiplied by the number of whole months between the Grant Date and the Retirement date and divided by the number of whole months specified in the Award Agreement over which the Award otherwise would vest.

[c] All Whole Shares will vest or be forfeited as provided in the Award Agreement.

[d] All other Awards granted to the Participant that have not been designated as Performance-Based Awards and which are unvested or have not been earned or settled when the Participant Retires will be forfeited on the Retirement date.

[2] Death or Disability. If a Participant Terminates due to death or Disability:

[a] All Options and SARs then held by the Participant (whether or not then exercisable) will be fully exercisable on the Termination date and may be exercised at any time before the earlier of [i] the Expiration Date specified in the Award Agreement or [ii] 24 months after Termination due to death or Disability. However, an Incentive Stock Option that is not exercised within 12 months after Termination due to death or Disability will be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

[b] All outstanding Dividend Equivalents, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant will be vested on the Termination date.

[c] All Whole Shares will vest or be forfeited as provided in the Award Agreement.

[d] All other Awards granted to the Participant that have not been designated as Performance-Based Awards and which are unvested or have not been earned or settled when the Participant dies or Terminates due to Disability will be forfeited on the Termination date.

[3] Cause. When (and if) a Participant commits an act that constitutes Cause, all Awards that are outstanding (whether or not then exercisable) will be forfeited on the date of that occurrence.

[4] Termination for any Other Reason. If a Participant Terminates for any reason not described in Section 16.01[1], [2] or [3], [a] all outstanding unvested Awards that have not been designated as Performance-Based Awards will be forfeited on the Termination date and [b] all vested Options and SARs then held by a Terminating Participant and that have not been designated as Performance-Based Awards may be exercised before the earlier of [i] 90 days after Termination or [ii] the Expiration Date specified in the associated Award Agreement.

16.02 Effect of Termination on Performance-Based Awards. Unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement:

[1] A Participant who Terminates due to death, Disability or Retirement will receive a prorata portion of all Performance-Based Awards then held by the Participant that are then subject to a pending Performance Period will be settled at the end of that Performance Period but only if at the end of the pending Performance Period, the Committee certifies that the associated performance objectives have been met. The portion of the Award to be settled under this section will be the amount of the Award that would have been due if the Participant had not Terminated due to death, Disability or Retirement multiplied by the number of whole months between the Grant Date and the Termination date and divided by the number of whole months specified in the Award Agreement over which the Award otherwise will be earned.

[2] A Participant who Terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement during a pending Performance Period will forfeit any Award that otherwise might have been earned during that Performance Period, whether or not the performance objectives established for that Performance Period are met at any time during that Performance Period.

16.03 Code §409A. Regardless of any other provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement:

[1] Subject to Section 16.03[2], if a Participant’s Termination is not a Separation from Service, the payment, exercise or settlement of any Award subject to Code §409A will not be made or permitted before the Participant Separates from Service.

[2] If a Participant is a Key Employee, the payment, exercise or settlement of any Award subject to Code §409A will not be made or permitted earlier than the first day that it may be paid, exercised or settled without generating penalties under Code §409A.

16.04 Other Limits on Exercisability. Unless otherwise specified in the associated Award Agreement or other written agreement between an Employee or a Consultant and the Company or any Related Entity and regardless of any other Plan provision, all Awards granted to an Employee or a Consultant that have not been exercised or settled will be forfeited if the Employee or Consultant:

[1] Without the Committee’s written consent, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason, serves (or agrees to serve) as an officer, director, consultant or employee of any proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability company or becomes the owner of a business or a member of a partnership that competes with any portion of the Company’s or a Related Entity’s business or renders any service to entities that compete with any portion of the Company’s or a Related Entity’s business;

[2] Refuses or fails to consult with, supply information to, or otherwise cooperate with, the Company or any Related Entity after having been requested to do so; or

[3] Deliberately engages in any action that the Committee concludes could harm the Company or any Related Entity.

17.00 EFFECT OF BUSINESS COMBINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

17.01 Exercise and Settlement. Upon, as appropriate and depending on whether the Award is or is not subject to Code §409A, a Business Combination or a Change in Control and, unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement or in a separate change in control agreement (or written agreement of similar import), all of a Participant’s Awards will be [1] fully vested and exercisable and [2] all performance objectives will be deemed to have been met as of the date of the Business Combination or Change in Control.

17.02 Effect of Code §280G. Unless specified otherwise in the associated Award Agreement or in another written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Related Entity, if the Company concludes that any payment or benefit due to a Participant under the Plan, when combined with any other payment or benefit due to the Participant from the Company or any other entity (collectively, the “Payor”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999:

[1] The Payor will consider the feasibility of offering substitute awards that would not constitute “parachute payments” under Code §280G and that would not generate penalties under Code §409A; and

[2] To the extent that a substitution is not feasible or that the payments and benefits due to the Participant still would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999, the Payor will reduce the payments and benefits due to the Participant under the Plan to the greater of $0.00 or an amount that is $1.00 less than the amount that otherwise would generate the excise tax under Code §4999.

If the reduction described in Section 17.02[2] applies, within ten business days of the effective date of the event generating the payments and benefits [or, if later, the date of the change in control (as defined in Code §280G)], the Payor will apprise the Participant of the amount of the reduction (“Notice of Reduction”). Within ten business days of receiving the Notice of Reduction, the Participant may specify to the Payor how and against which benefit or payment source the reduction is to be applied (“Notice of Allocation”). The Payor will be required to implement these directions within ten business days of receiving the Notice of Allocation. If the

Payor has not received a Notice of Allocation from the Participant within ten business days of the date of the Notice of Reduction, the Payor will apply the reduction described in this section proportionately based on the amounts otherwise payable under the Plan. If a Notice of Allocation has been returned but is not sufficient to fully implement the reduction described in this section, the Payor will apply the reduction on the basis of the reductions specified in that Notice of Allocation.

18.00 TERMINATION, SUSPENSION AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENTS

18.01 Termination, Suspension or Amendment of the Plan. The Board may terminate, suspend or amend the Plan at any time without stockholder approval except to the extent that stockholder approval is required to satisfy applicable requirements imposed by [1] applicable requirements of the law or [2] any securities exchange, market or other quotation system on or through which the Company’s securities are listed or traded. Also, no Plan amendment may [3] result in the loss of a Committee member’s status as a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Act with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, or [4] without the consent of the affected Participant (and except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement), adversely affect any Award granted before the termination, suspension or amendment. However, nothing in this section will restrict the Board’s right to amend the Plan without any additional consideration to affected Participants to the extent necessary to avoid penalties arising under Code §409A, even if those amendments reduce, restrict or eliminate rights granted under the Plan or any Award Agreement before those amendments are adopted.

18.02 Amendment and Termination of Award Agreements. Without the mutual written consent of both the Company and the affected Participant, once issued, an Award Agreement may not be amended except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement. However, nothing in this section will restrict the Committee’s right to amend an Award Agreement without additional consideration to the affected Participant to the extent necessary to avoid penalties arising under Code §409A, even if those amendments reduce, restrict or eliminate rights granted under the Award Agreement before those amendments are adopted.

19.00 MISCELLANEOUS

19.01 Assignability. Except as described in this section or as provided in Section 19.02, an Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during a Participant’s lifetime, may be exercised only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. However, with the permission of the Committee, a Participant or a specified group of Participants may transfer Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to a revocable inter vivos trust of which the Participant is the settlor, or may transfer Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to any member of the Participant’s immediate family, any trust, whether revocable or irrevocable, established solely for the benefit of the Participant’s immediate family, any partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or members are members of the Participant’s immediate family or an organization described in Code §501(c)(3) (“Permissible Transferees”). Any Award transferred to a Permissible Transferee will continue to be subject to all of the terms

and conditions that applied to the Award before the transfer and to any other rules prescribed by the Committee. A Permissible Transferee may not retransfer an Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and then only to another Permissible Transferee.

19.02 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive or to exercise any vested Award that is unpaid or unexercised at the Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided in the beneficiary designation, each designation made will revoke all prior designations made by the same Participant, must be made on a form prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Committee. If a Participant has not made an effective beneficiary designation, the deceased Participant’s beneficiary will be his or her surviving spouse or, if none, the deceased Participant’s estate. The identity of a Participant’s designated beneficiary will be based only on the information included in the latest beneficiary designation form completed by the Participant and will not be inferred from any other evidence.

19.03 No Guarantee of Continuing Services. Except as otherwise specified in the Plan, nothing in the Plan may be construed as:

[1] Interfering with or limiting the right of the Company or any Service Provider to Terminate any Employee or Consultant at any time;

[2] Conferring on any Participant any right to continue as an Employee, Consultant or Director;

[3] Guaranteeing that any Employee, Consultant or Director will be selected to be a Participant; or

[4] Guaranteeing that any Participant will receive any future Awards.

19.04 Tax Withholding. The Service Recipient or other responsible person will withhold or collect any amount required to be remitted in advance payment of any taxes associated with the exercise or settlement of any Award. Subject to Code §409A, this amount may be [1] withheld from other amounts due to the Participant, [2] withheld from the value of any Award being settled or any Shares being transferred in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to the Participant or [3] collected directly from the Participant.

19.05 Indemnification. Each individual who is or was a member of the Committee (or to whom any duties have been delegated under Section 4.02) is entitled, in good faith, to rely on or to act upon any report or other information furnished by any executive officer, other officer or other employee of the Company or any Related Entity, the Company’s independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Committee members (and any person to whom any duties have been delegated under Section 4.02) and any officer of the Company or any Related Entity acting at the direction or in behalf of the Committee or a delegee will not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan and will, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any act or determination just described.

19.06 No Limitation on Compensation. Nothing in the Plan is to be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Related Entity to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its employees, consultants or directors, in cash or property, in a manner not expressly authorized under the Plan.

19.07 Requirements of Law. The grant of Awards and the issuance of Shares will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including applicable federal and state securities laws) and to all required approvals of any governmental agencies or national securities exchange, market or other quotation system. Certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan may be subject to any stock transfer orders and other restrictions that the Committee believes to be advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or other recognized market or quotation system upon which the Shares are then listed or traded, or any other applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to restrictions within the scope of this section.

19.08 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law is mandatorily applicable.

19.09 No Impact on Benefits. Awards are not compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant’s rights under any employee benefit plan that does not specifically require the inclusion of Awards in calculating benefits.

19.10 Term of the Plan. The Plan will be effective on the Effective Date. Subject to Section 18.00, the Plan will continue until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, the Committee’s authority to issue any Performance-Based Awards to Covered Officers will expire no later than the first Annual Meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan.

19.11 Rights as Stockholders. Unless otherwise specified in the associated Award Agreement or as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, Shares acquired through an Award [1] will bear all dividend and voting rights associated with all Shares and [2] will be transferable, subject to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system on which Shares are then listed or traded or any blue sky or state securities laws.

19.12 Successors. The Plan will be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of the Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of the estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

19.13 International Employees. To provide the same motivation to materially increase stockholder value and to enable the Company to attract and retain the services of outstanding managers at its international locations, the Company will adopt incentives for its foreign locations that provide, as closely as possible, the same motivational effect as Awards provided to domestic Participants. Also, the Committee may grant Awards to Employees who are subject to

the tax laws of nations other than the United States under terms and conditions that differ from other Awards granted under the Plan but which are required to comply with applicable foreign tax laws.
