ARTICLE III. | ANNUAL EQUITY GRANTS, REQUIRED RETAINER SHARES AND VOLUNTARY SHARES

1.Automatic Annual Equity Grants.
(a)For the year 2008 and subsequent years, unless otherwise determined by the Board, each Director, shall automatically receive each year on the date of the annual meeting, the number of Restricted Shares equal to $75,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the annual meeting. Each Director who joins the Board after an annual meeting, shall receive a pro-rated amount of Restricted Shares from the date such Director joins the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Director who is age 69 years old or older on the date of an annual meeting shall, in lieu of Restricted Shares, receive an equal number of Shares (with no restrictions).
(b)The Restricted Shares may not be assigned, exchanged, pledged, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Director, except to the Company, and shall be subject to forfeiture as herein provided until the earliest to occur of the following ("Vesting Event"): (a) the third anniversary of the date of award; (b) a Change in Control (as defined below); (c) death; or (d) Disability. Any purported transfer in violation of the provisions of this paragraph shall be null and void, and the purported transferee shall obtain no rights with respect to such Restricted Shares. For purposes of this Section 3.1, "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 3.1(b)(i) of Article III, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any issuance of voting stock of the Company directly from the Company that is approved by the Incumbent Board (as defined in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of Article III below), (B) any acquisition by the Company of voting stock of the Company, (C) any acquisition of voting stock of the Company by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary, or (D) any acquisition

of voting stock of the Company by any Person pursuant to a Business Combination that complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 3.1(b)(iii) of Article III, below; or
(ii)individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a Director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be deemed to have been a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11 of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
(iii)consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation involving the Company, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any other transaction involving the Company (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, immediately following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 55% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the voting stock of the Company, (B) no Person (other than the Company, such entity resulting from such Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, any subsidiary or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or
(iv)approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, except pursuant to a Business Combination that complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 3.1(b)(iii) of Article III.
For purposes of this Section 3.1(b) of Article III, voting stock means securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, and subsidiary means an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding capital or profits interests or voting stock.
(c)All of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by a Director who is terminated before a Vesting Event; provided, however, if service as a Director is terminated by the Company owing to removal as a Director without cause before the third anniversary of the date of an award, a portion of the Restricted Shares covered by such award that then remain forfeitable shall become freely transferable and nonforfeitable on a prorated basis (rounded up to the nearest whole Restricted Share) for the number of full months the Director remains on the Board during the three-year period from the date of grant.
(d)Unless otherwise directed by the Administrator, all certificates representing Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by the Company until the occurrence of a Vesting Event. As a condition to each award of Restricted Shares, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Director shall have delivered to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares covered by such award. After the occurrence of a Vesting Event, assuming no event has occurred that would effect a forfeiture of a Director's Restricted Shares, a certificate or certificates evidencing unrestricted ownership of such Shares shall be delivered to the Director.

(e)With respect to dividends on Restricted Shares:
(i)A Director may elect, prior to December 31, 2005 or the applicable Election Filing Date for any Plan Year thereafter, that all cash dividends declared with respect to Restricted Shares awarded during such Plan Year shall be deferred and reinvested in additional Common Shares during the period of restriction of such Restricted Shares and which shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares. Such deferral election shall be effective as of the applicable Election Filing Date and shall apply to dividends declared on Restricted Shares granted in the Plan Year following the applicable Election Filing Date and in each subsequent Plan Year unless terminated for a subsequent Plan Year by filing a termination election by the applicable Election Filing Date for such subsequent Plan Year.
(ii)In addition, any Director who joins the Board on or after January 1 of any Plan Year may make such an election with respect to dividends declared on his or her award of Restricted Shares within 30 days after becoming a Director. Such deferral election shall be effective when filed and shall apply only to dividends declared on Restricted Shares granted during the remainder of such Plan Year and in each subsequent Plan Year unless terminated for a subsequent Plan Year by filing a termination election by the applicable Election Filing Date for such subsequent Plan Year.
(iii)Once such a deferral election has been terminated, another deferral election may not be made.
(iv) All such deferred dividends shall be reinvested and held in the Director's name and shall be delivered as additional unrestricted Common Shares on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to vesting as provided in Section 3.1(b) hereof and proration as provided in Section 3.1(c) hereof.
2.Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares.
(a)Payment of Retainer.
(i)Subject to Section 3.2(a)(ii), Section 3.2(b) and Article IV of this Plan, the Retainer established by the Administrator from time to time shall be payable in part as Required Retainer Shares payable on January 1 of the following year, and the balance of such Retainer and all other Fees shall be payable in cash quarterly in advance of each Accounting Period.
(ii)If a Director meets the Director Share Ownership Guidelines on December 1 of 2004 or any year thereafter, such Director may elect, by the filing of a Participation Agreement or such other form as may be approved by the Administrator by March 29, 2004 or by December 15 of such year, as applicable, to have up to 100% of such Director's Retainer paid by the Company in cash. Such election shall apply to the Director's Retainer for the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2004 or the Plan Year following such election, as applicable.
(b)Voluntary Shares. Prior to the commencement of any calendar quarter, a Director may elect by the filing of a Participation Agreement to have up to 100% of his or her Fees for such quarter paid by the Company in the form of Voluntary Shares and in lieu of the cash payment. Such Participation Agreement must be filed as a one-time election. Such election, unless subsequently terminated, shall apply to a Director's Fees for the remainder of the current Plan Year and each subsequent Plan Year. Once an election has been terminated another election may not be made.
(c)Issuance of Shares. On the first business day of each year the Company shall issue (i) to each Director a number of Shares equal to such Director's Required Retainer Shares for each Accounting Period during the prior Plan Year divided by the Fair Market Value per Share on the first day of such Accounting Period and (ii) to each Director who has made an election under Section 3.2(b), a number of Shares for each such Accounting Period equal to the portion of such Director's Fees for such Accounting Period that such Director has elected to receive as Voluntary Shares for such Accounting Period divided by the Fair Market Value per Share on the first day of such Accounting Period (less, in each case, the portion of the Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares the Director elected to defer under Section 4.3). To the extent that the application of the foregoing formula

would result in the issuance of fractional Shares, no fractional Shares shall be issued, but instead, the Company shall maintain two separate non-interest-bearing accounts for each Director, which accounts shall be credited with the amount of any Required Retainer Shares or Voluntary Shares, as the case may be, not convertible into whole Shares, which amounts shall be combined with Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares, respectively, which are paid for the next following Plan Year. When whole Shares are issued by the Company to the Director on January 1, the amounts in such accounts shall be reduced by that amount which (when added to the Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares for such Director for such quarter) results in the issuance of the maximum number of Shares to such Director. The Company shall pay any and all fees and commissions incurred in connection with the payment of Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares to a Director in Shares.
ARTICLE IV. DEFERRAL OF FEES, annual equity GRANT, REQUIRED RETAINER SHARES AND VOLUNTARY SHARES
1.Deferral of Fees. A Director may elect to defer all or a specified percentage of his or her Fees earned for any Deferral Period by filing a Participation Agreement with the Administrator by the applicable Election Filing Date. Such Deferral Commitment shall be effective as of the applicable Election Filing Date and shall continue to be effective from Deferral Period to Deferral Period until terminated or modified by filing a new Participation Agreement with the Administrator, provided that such new Participation Agreement must be filed by the applicable Election Filing Date for the Deferral Period for which it is to be effective.
2.Crediting of Deferred Fees.

A Director may elect to defer all of his or her Annual Equity Grant (in lieu of receiving Restricted Shares or Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a)) awarded during any Deferral Period by filing a Participation Agreement with the Administrator by the applicable Election Filing Date. Such Deferral Commitment shall be effective as of the applicable Election Filing Date and shall continue to be effective from Deferral Period to Deferral Period until terminated by filing a new Participation Agreement with the Administrator, provided that such new Participation Agreement must be filed by the applicable Election Filing Date for the Plan Year for which it is to be effective. Once such a Deferral Commitment has been terminated, another Deferral Commitment may not be made. Such Deferred Shares are still subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 6.5.
4.Deferral of Required Retainer Shares and Voluntary Shares. A Director may elect to defer and/or all or a specified percentage of his or her Required Retainer Shares and his or her Voluntary Shares earned for any Deferral Period by filing a Participation Agreement with the Administrator by the applicable Election Filing Date. Such Deferral Commitment shall be effective as of the applicable Election Filing Date and shall continue to be effective from Deferral Period to Deferral Period until terminated or modified by filing a new Participation Agreement with the Administrator, provided that such Participation Agreement must be filed by the applicable Election Filing Date for the Deferral Period for which it is to be effective.

ARTICLE V. DEFERRED FEE ACCOUNT
1.Determination of Deferred Fee Account. On any particular date, a Director's Deferred Fee Account shall consist of the aggregate amount credited thereto pursuant to Section 4.2, plus any interest credited pursuant to Section 5.2, minus the aggregate amount of distributions, if any, made from such Deferred Fee Account.

Each Deferred Fee Account to which Fees have been credited in dollar amounts shall be increased by the amount of interest earned since the immediately preceding Accounting Date. Interest shall be credited at the Declared Rate as of each Accounting Date based on the average daily balance of the Director's Deferred Fee Account since the immediately preceding Accounting Date, but after the Deferred Fee Account has been adjusted for any contributions or distributions to be credited or deducted for such period.

As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, a statement shall be furnished to each Director or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary showing the status of his or her Deferred Fee Account as of the end of the Accounting Period, any changes in such Account since the end of the immediately preceding Accounting Period, and such other information as the Administrator shall determine.
5.Vesting of Deferred Fee Account. A Director shall be 100% vested in his or her Deferred Fee Account at all times.
ARTICLE VI. DEFERRED SHARE ACCOUNT

2.Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. Each Deferred Share Annual Equity Subaccount and Deferred Share Other Equity Subaccount shall be credited as of the end of each Accounting Period with additional Deferred Shares equal in value to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company during such Accounting Period on that number of Shares equivalent to the number of Deferred Shares in such Deferred Share Annual Equity Subaccount and Deferred Share Other Equity Subaccount during such Accounting Period. The dividend equivalents shall be valued by dividing the dollar value of such dividend equivalents by the Fair Market Value on the Accounting Date next following the dividend payment date. Until a Director or his or her Beneficiary receives his or her entire Deferred Share Account, the unpaid balance thereof credited in Deferred Shares shall be credited with dividend equivalents as provided in this Section 6.2.

2.Amount to be Distributed. The amount to which a Director, or in the event of such Director's death, his or her Beneficiary is entitled in accordance with the following provisions of this Article VII shall be based on the Director's adjusted balances in his or her Deferred Fee Account and Deferred Share Other Equity Subaccount and Deferred Share Annual Equity Subaccount determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following his or her Settlement Date or Dates.
3.In-Service Distribution. A Director may irrevocably elect to receive a pre-termination distribution of all or any specified percentage of his or her vested Deferred Fees credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account or vested Deferred Shares credited to his or her Deferred Share Other Equity Subaccount or Deferred Share Annual Equity Subaccount commencing on a specified date in a Plan Year that begins at least three Plan Years after the date such Fees and Shares otherwise would have been payable pursuant to a Specified Date Payment Election.

2.Governing Law. The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
3.Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold Federal, state or local taxes in connection with any component of a Director's compensation in cash or Shares, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of any Shares that the

4.Application of Section 409A of the Code.

(c)Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Director or for a Director’s benefit under this Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Director to the Company or any of its affiliates.
