All rights conferred upon you under the provisions of this Grant Agreement are personal to you and no assignee, transferee or other successor in interest shall acquire any rights or interests whatsoever under this Grant Agreement, which is made exclusively for the benefit of you and the Company, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4 or as may be provided pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control, the number of Units earned (the “Performance Award”) will be determined and contingent upon the extent to which Performance Goals are achieved during a Performance Period, as described in Annex A and as determined by the Committee, and will be paid as provided in Section 7 of this Grant Agreement. All Performance Awards will be paid in cash.

4. As further consideration for the Units granted to you hereunder, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, you must remain in the continuous employ of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries until December 31, 20__ (the “Vesting Date”).

c. Notwithstanding Section 14(a)(2) of the Plan, in the event that you incur a Severance before or during a Performance Period, the Units with respect to any such Performance Period shall be deemed to have been fully earned at the target amount of the award opportunity, and in the event that you incur a Severance on or prior to the Vesting Date but after completion of a Performance Period, the Units with respect to any such completed Performance Period shall be deemed to have been fully earned in the amount determined by the Committee following the end of the Performance Period.

Executive Performance Unit Grant Agreement

d. Nothing contained herein shall restrict the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause.

5. In the event your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason whatsoever (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) and within 18 months after such termination date you accept employment with a competitor of, or otherwise engage in competition with, the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require you to return, or (if not received) to forfeit, to the Company the payments made (or to be made) hereunder which you have received (or will receive) at any time on or after the date which is six months prior to the date of termination of your employment with the Company. Additionally, all Units granted to you hereunder which are outstanding shall be automatically cancelled upon commencement of your competitive engagement.

6. You will be required to satisfy all Federal, state and local tax and payroll withholding obligations, and any other withholding obligations, arising in respect of any distribution of, or right to receive any distribution of, cash to you. Such withholding obligations will be deducted from your Units.

7. Except as otherwise provided in accordance with an election permitted under a deferred compensation plan approved by the Committee, any payment of a Performance Award shall be made (i) after the Vesting Date but in no event later than March 15, 20__ (including any payments following your Retirement), (ii) in the event of your death or Disability, within the later of (a) 60 days after your termination of employment or (b) March 15 of the year of your termination of employment, or (iii) in the event of your earlier Severance, within 30 days after your Severance.

8. Any notice to you under this Grant Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if delivered to you or mailed to you at the address on record in the Executive Compensation Department. Any notice to the Company under this Grant Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if delivered to the Executive Compensation Department of the Company in Akron, Ohio, or mailed by registered mail directed to the Company for the attention of the Executive Compensation Department at 200 Innovation Way, Akron, Ohio 44316-0001. Either you or the Company may, by written notice, change the address. This Grant Agreement shall be construed and shall take effect in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

9. The obligations of the Company under this Grant Agreement will be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver cash in the future, and your rights will be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Grant Agreement.

10. It is intended that this Grant Agreement shall either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Grant Agreement shall be construed, administered and governed in a manner that effects such intent, and the Committee shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Units shall not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out, settled, adjusted, substituted, exchanged or modified in a manner that would cause the award to fail to satisfy the conditions of an applicable exception from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise would subject you to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code.
