Election; and if an Eligible Director does so, an amount equal to the reduction in his
or her Compensation shall be credited to an Account maintained for him or her under the
Plan. |
||
(b) | The Deferred Compensation Election of a Participant must be made in writing on
a form specified by the Administrator. A Deferred Compensation Election will be timely
filed with respect to the Compensation only if it is filed with the Administrator by a
date specified by the Administrator that precedes the calendar year in which the
Compensation is earned by the Participant for services rendered as an Eligible
Director. A Deferred Compensation Election that is timely filed with the Administrator
shall be irrevocable as of the first day of the calendar year that follows the date it

Administrator no later than 30 days after the date the Director becomes an Eligible
Director under the Plan. If an Eligible Director does so, the applicable Deferred
Compensation Election shall be effective for such calendar year only with respect to

Deferred Compensation Election shall be irrevocable |

first becoming an Eligible Director if the individual had not been eligible to
participate in the Plan (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the
twenty-four month period ending on the date the individual again becomes an Eligible
Director. |
|||
(d) | The reduction in a Participants Compensation for any calendar year shall be
made by the Company during such calendar year. The Account of each Participant shall
then be credited with Elective Contributions equal to the amount of the Participants
reduction in his or her Compensation, on or shortly after the Compensation would
otherwise be paid to the Directors, in accordance with procedures established by the
Administrator. |
4.2 Vesting. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in the balances credit
to his or her Cash Account. A Participant shall vest in the amounts credited to his or her Equity
Award Account in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the agreement documenting the
grant of the applicable Equity Award credited to his or her Equity Award Account. Any amounts
credited to a Participants Account that are not 100% vested at the Commencement Date applicable
for such amount shall be forfeited, and the Participant shall cease to have any rights to such
forfeited amounts.
ARTICLE V
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND PLAN FUNDING
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND PLAN FUNDING
5.1 Participant Accounts. Each Participant in a Plan shall have established in his or
her name an Account which shall reflect the Contributions credited to him or her pursuant to
Article IV. All Accounts maintained for purposes of the Plan shall merely constitute bookkeeping
records of the Company and shall not constitute any allocation whatsoever of any assets of the
Company or any Affiliate or be deemed to create any trust or special deposit with respect to any of
the assets of the Company or any Affiliate.
5.2 Unfunded Plan.
(a) | The obligation under the Plan to provide a Participant with all or a portion of
the amounts credited to his or her Account constitutes the sole unsecured promise of
the Company. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in or with
respect to any funds or other assets owned or held by the Company (or any Affiliate
thereof), the rights of a Participant or Beneficiary under any Plan being solely those
of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. |
||
(b) | Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Company may establish or
participate in one or more trusts for the purpose of setting aside funds to provide for
the payment of benefits under its Plan. Such trust or trusts may include a master
trust or collective investment trust maintained by the Company in |
- 4 -
conjunction with this Plan Document. However, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section, the assets of such trust or trusts shall at all times
remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company, except to the
extent and at such time as any payment is made therefrom to a Participant or
Beneficiary under the Plan; and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights
whatsoever in or with respect to any such trust or the assets thereof. To the
extent that the Company makes contributions to such a trust or trusts, such
contributions may be invested in one or more investment funds thereunder as shall be
determined by the Company, in its discretion. |
5.3 Investment Elections for Elective Contributions. At the sole discretion of the
Administrator, Participants may be entitled to request that the adjustments to their Accounts be
made in accordance with deemed investment elections of the Participant in one or more investment
funds designated by the Administrator. The investment election of a Participant shall specify a
combination which, in the aggregate, equals 100 percent and conforms with other procedures
prescribed by the Administrator indicating which funds his or her Account Balance shall be deemed
to be invested. An investment option so elected by a Participant shall remain in effect until he
or she changes his or her investment election pursuant to Section 5.4 or receives distribution of
his or her Account.
5.4 Investment Change of Future Contributions. In the sole discretion of the
Administrator, a Participant may elect to change the manner in which Contributions credited to his
or her Account are to be deemed invested. Any such change in the investment election of a
Participant with respect to his or her Contributions shall specify a combination among the funds
which in the aggregate equals 100 percent. Such election shall be made in the manner specified by
the Administrator and in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator. The
investment option so elected by a Participant shall remain in effect until he or she files another
election change with respect to future contributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Administrator. Any such election which directs a change in an investment election heretofore in
effect shall become effective in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator and in
the form, time and manner specified by the Administrator. Amounts credited to the Account of a
Participant as of any date prior to the date on which such change is to become effective shall not
be affected by any such change.
5.5 Election to Transfer Invested Past Contributions. Subject to any procedures
adopted by the Administrator, a Participant may elect to have the balance of his or her Account
transferred from the investment fund or funds in which it is deemed invested to one or more of the
other investment funds. Any such election shall be made in the form, time, and manner specified by
the Administrator and in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator. Upon receipt
of such election, the Administrator shall cause the transfer of such amount as of the effective
date of the election of the Participant from the fund or funds in which it is deemed invested to
the fund or funds so elected and designated by the Participant.

DISTRIBUTION
DISTRIBUTION
6.1 Commencement of Distributions.
(a) | A Participant may elect to commence payment of the amounts credited to his or
her Account (and any deemed earnings thereon) in a calendar year upon either (i) the
date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service for any reason (other than by
reason of death) or (ii) the earlier of (A) the date the Participant incurs a
Separation from Service for any reason (other than by reason of death) or (B) the date
specified by the Participant (the date described in clause (i) or (ii), to be the
Commencement Date). Such election shall be timely made in writing on the Deferred
Compensation Election form filed with the Administrator in accordance with Section 4.1
by the Election Deadline for the Elective Contributions for the applicable calendar
year. If a Participant does not properly elect a Commencement Date for Contributions
made in a calendar year, the Commencement Date for such Contributions shall be the date
described in Section 6.1(a)(i). Except as is provided below in paragraph (c), a
Deferred Compensation Election form that is filed with the Plan Administrator electing
a Commencement Date shall become irrevocable as provided in Section 4.1. |
||
(b) | Subject to Section 6.1(d) payments made in accordance with Section 6.1(a) shall
be paid or commence to be paid within 30 days following the Commencement Date,
provided that, the Participant shall not have the right to designate
the year of payment. Amounts credited to a Participants Cash Account shall be paid in
cash, and Amounts credited to a Participants Equity Award Account shall be paid in
shares of common stock of the Company. |
||
(c) | Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant,
may elect to defer the Commencement Date by filing a written request to do so with the
Plan Administrator provided such request (i) is made not less than 12 months prior to
the Commencement Date (if such Commencement Date is described in Section 6.1(a)(ii)),
(ii) the first payment under such election will be made no less than 5 years from the
last effective Commencement Date, and (iii) such election will not take effect until at
least 12 months after the date on which such election is made. Any election to change
the Commencement Date that does not meet all of the foregoing requirements shall not be
valid and, in such case, payment shall be made in accordance with the Participants
last effective Commencement Date election. Any such election to defer the
Commencement Date shall become irrevocable if it is on file with the Plan Administrator
as of the date that is one year prior to the original Commencement Date. |
||
(d) | Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a
specified employee, determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company in
compliance with Section 409A of the Code, on the date a Participant experiences a
Separation from Service, then to the extent necessary to comply |
- 6 -
with Section 409A of the Code, amounts credited to the Participants Account that
are to be received by the Participant on account of and during the six-month period
immediately following the Participants Separation from Service will instead be paid
on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month after the date of
the Participants Separation from Service, or (ii) the Participants death. Any
payments that are scheduled to be paid more than six months after such Participants
Separation from Service shall not be delayed and shall be paid in accordance with
the other provisions of this Article VI. |
6.2 Method of Payment.
(a) | Except as is provided below, the amount payable under the Plan shall be paid to
the Participant in a single sum payment as of his Commencement Date or, if the first
sentence of Section 6.1(d) applies the date of payment described therein. Lump sum
amounts payable to a Participant shall be determined as of the Valuation Date
coincident with the Commencement Date. Amounts credited to a Participants Cash
Account shall be paid in cash, and Amounts credited to a Participants Equity Award
Account shall be paid in shares of common stock of the Company. |
||
(b) | A Participant may elect to have the Contributions credited to his or her
Account (other than the amount credited to the Equity Award Account) in each calendar
year paid in the form of annual installment payments over a period of years that is
selected by the Participant, but not in excess of ten years. A Participant may elect
to have the Contributions credited to his or her Equity Award Account in each calendar
year paid in two annual installment payments. Each annual installment payment shall be
equal to an amount that is a fraction of the applicable Account balance as of the date
of payment. The numerator of the fraction is one, and the denominator of the fraction
is the number of remaining installments. |
||
(c) | In order for the Participant to elect an installment form of payment for
Contributions made in a calendar year, the Participant shall make a timely, written
election on the Deferred Compensation Election form filed with the Plan Administrator
in accordance with Section 4.1 by the Election Deadline for Elective Contributions for
the applicable calendar year. Such an election shall specify the number of annual
installment payments. |
||
Except as is provided below in paragraph (d), a Deferred Compensation Election form
that is filed with the Plan Administrator electing an installment form of payment
shall become irrevocable as provided in Section 4.1. |
|||
(d) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, if a Participant elects to defer the Commencement Date of a distribution in
accordance with Section 6.1(c) the Participant also may elect a different form of
payment than he or she would previously have been entitled to receive under the
foregoing provisions of this Section as of the last effective Commencement Date,
provided such written request complies with the requirements set forth in 6.1(c) |
- 7 -
and is filed with the request provided for in Section 6.1(c). Any such election to
change the form of payment shall become irrevocable if it is on file with the Plan
Administrator as of the date that is one year prior to the Commencement Date. Any
such election of another form of payment must be made in accordance with the
foregoing provision of this Section. Thus, the Participant must elect to be paid in
either a lump sum, annual installments that are not in excess of two for amounts
credited to the Equity Award Account or annual installments that are not in excess
of ten for amounts that are credited to the Cash Account. |
|||
(e) | For purposes of this Plan, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), a series of installment payments shall be deemed to be a single
payment. |
6.3 Distributions Upon Death. Upon the death of a Participant or former Participant,
any amount remaining in his or her Account shall be distributable to the Beneficiary. Payment to
the Beneficiary shall be made in a single lump sum. The Commencement Date for payment shall be the
last Valuation Date in the month following the month in which the Administrator receives written
notice of the Participants death.
6.4 Taxes. Any applicable taxes shall be withheld from any distribution hereunder to
the extent that the Company believes is required by law. The Director or a Beneficiary who
receives payments hereunder or who otherwise has taxable income as a result of this Plan shall be
issued a Form 1099, or other report as required by law and such report also shall be filed with
taxing authorities as is required by law.
ARTICLE VII
BENEFICIARIES
BENEFICIARIES
In the event a Participant dies before the balance in his or her Account has been distributed
to him or her in full, any remaining balance shall be distributable to his or her Beneficiary in
accordance with Section 6.3.
The following rules shall apply for purposes of designating Beneficiaries under this Plan and
determining the appropriate payees for payments after the death of a Participant:
(a) | Any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, estate or other entity may be
designated as a Beneficiary. If there is no designated Beneficiary who survives the
Participant, then the balance in his Accounts shall be paid to his or her estate. |
||
(b) | All designations of a Beneficiary shall be made by the Participant in writing
on a form which is supplied by the Administrator, signed by the Participant, and filed
with the Administrator. A Participant may change his designation of Beneficiary at any
time. To change his Beneficiary, the Participant must complete a new Beneficiary
designation form and file such form with the Administrator prior to the death of the
Participant. No designation of Beneficiary will be recognized under this Plan unless
it is filed with the Administrator prior to the death of the Participant. |
- 8 -
(c) | If the individual designated by the Participant as his or her Beneficiary is
the spouse of the Participant at the time of such designation or at any time
thereafter, and if the Participant and his or her spouse are legally divorced or their
marriage is legally dissolved or annulled, unless the divorce decree or a similar court
order directs otherwise, the spouse of the Participant shall cease to be the
Beneficiary and the estate of the Participant shall become the Beneficiary unless and
until such time as the Participant designates a new Beneficiary. |
||
(d) | If a Participant is entitled to a payment and dies after the Commencement Date
for the payment but prior to the date of actual payment, the payment shall be paid to
the estate of the Participant. |
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
8.1 Administrator. The Company shall be the Administrator of the Plan. On behalf of
the Company, the Board shall appoint one or more individuals as the members to the Committee, which
shall perform the duties of the Administrator. However, another person, entity or committee may be
appointed by the Board to act on its behalf as Administrator; and if it does so, references in this
Plan to the Committee shall be deemed to be references to such person, entity or committee.
8.2 Powers and Authorities of the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and
authority to interpret, construe and administer the Plan; and its interpretations and construction
of the Plan shall be binding on all persons. The Committee may delegate any of its powers,
authorities, or responsibilities for the administration of the Plan to any person or committee so
designated in writing by it. The Committee may employ such attorneys, agents, and accountants as
it may deem necessary or advisable to assist it in carrying out its duties hereunder. No member of
the Committee shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the
interpretation and administration of the Plan unless attributable to his own willful misconduct or
lack of good faith. Members of the Committee shall not participate in any action or determination
regarding their own benefits, if any, payable under the Plan.
8.3 Indemnification. In addition to whatever rights of indemnification a member of
the Committee, or any other person or persons to whom any power, authority, or responsibility is
delegated pursuant to Section 8.2, may be entitled under the articles of incorporation,
regulations, or by-laws of the Company, under any provision of law, or under any other agreement,
the Company shall satisfy any liability actually and reasonably incurred by any such member or such
other person or persons, including expenses, attorneys fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement, in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding
which is related to the exercise or failure to exercise by such member or such other person or
persons of any of the powers, authority, responsibilities, or discretion provided under the Plan.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
9.1 Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate
this Plan Document at any time by action of the Board.
It is the intention of the Company that, unless otherwise specifically provided for in the
provisions that effect an amendment or termination of this Plan, an amendment or termination of
this Plan shall not cause the terms of this Plan, or its operation, to be in violation of the
provisions of Code Section 409A. Accordingly, upon an amendment or termination of this Plan,
except to the extent that the amendment or termination provisions specifically provide to the
contrary, the Plan provisions that would require that any Elective Contributions be made to
Participants Account for the calendar year that includes the date of the amendment or termination
(or for the subsequent calendar year) shall remain in effect for that calendar year (and any such
subsequent calendar year).
Thus, after an amendment or termination, the Plan Account of the Participant that exists as of
the end of the calendar year that includes the date of the amendment or termination, shall be
payable to the Participant or Beneficiary at a time or times that are different than the time or
times otherwise provided for herein, only if, and only to the extent that, the amendment or
termination provisions adopted by the Board specifically provide for a change in the timing of such
payments.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Non-Alienation of Benefits. No benefit under the Plan shall at any time be
subject in any manner to alienation or encumbrance.
10.2 Payment of Benefits to Others. If any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a
benefit is payable is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any
payment due (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or other
legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, parent, brother, or sister, or any other
individual deemed by the Administrator to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such
person. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be a
complete discharge of any liability of the Plan with respect to the benefit so paid.
10.3 Taxation of Benefits. It is the intention of the Company that amounts payable to
a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall not be included in the gross income of the
Participant or Beneficiary for federal income tax purposes until such time as payments are made
under the provisions of the Plan. If, at any time, it is determined that amounts payable under the
Plan are currently taxable to a Participant or his Beneficiary, the amounts credited to the
Participants Accounts which have become so taxable shall be distributable immediately to such
Participant; provided, however, that in no event shall amounts so payable to a Participant exceed
the value of his Accounts
- 10 -
10.4 Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be
construed as giving any person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right as against the
Company, its officers, employees, or directors, except any such rights as are specifically provided
for in the Plan or are hereafter created in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan.
10.5 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of
the Plan shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted therefrom.
10.6 Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
