INCENTIVE EQUITY PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
The Plan and Other Agreements | The text of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. This Agreement (which also includes the cover sheet) and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant of Restricted Stock. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning such grant are superseded. In the event that any provision in this Agreement conflicts with any term in the Plan, the term in the Plan shall be deemed controlling. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement, but not otherwise defined herein, are defined in the Plan. | |
| Vesting | The Shares granted under this Agreement shall initially be unvested, and, unless and until they vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet, they shall be subject to forfeiture. In the event of a “change in control” of the Company, all Shares granted under this Agreement shall fully vest effective as of the date of the change in control. | |
| Termination of Service | Upon your Termination for any reason other than by the Company without Cause (as defined in your Employment Agreement with the Company or, if you do not have an Employment Agreement, as defined in the Plan), including Termination by reason of your death or Disability, any Shares which have not vested on or before your Termination shall be forfeited, and no Shares granted under this Agreement will continue to vest after your Termination. In the event that your employment is Terminated by the Company without Cause, (1) the Shares provided for in (i) at page 1 of this Agreement which have not vested on or before your Termination shall fully and immediately vest, and (2) the Shares provided for in (ii) at page 1 of this Agreement which have not vested on or before your Termination shall be forfeited and will not continue to vest after your Termination. | |

| Tax Deduction Limitations | Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, in this Agreement or in the attached cover sheet, if the vesting of any of the Shares in any taxable year of the Company would prevent the Company from deducting the then fair market value of such Shares for federal income tax purposes in such taxable year under any applicable provision of the Code, then, such Shares shall not become vested in such taxable year of the Company. Instead, any such Shares which would have become vested shall vest as of the first day of each succeeding taxable year of the Company, as to the maximum number permitted in each such year which would allow the Company to deduct the then fair market value of such Shares for federal income tax purposes. | |
| Transfer Restrictions | Until the Shares are vested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the attached cover sheet, they may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. Certificates issued in respect of the Shares which are unvested shall be registered in your name and deposited by you, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company. Upon the vesting of Shares, such restrictions on transfer will terminate with respect to such vested Shares and the Company shall deliver to you the certificates issued in respect of such vested Shares. | |
| Voting and Dividend Rights | Unless and until any unvested Shares are forfeited pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the attached cover sheet, you shall have all voting rights with respect to the Shares. Any dividends associated with unvested Shares will be retained in an escrow account and distributed to you when the Shares vest or forfeited if the Shares are forfeited. | |
| Income Tax Election | If you make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, you shall provide to the Company a copy of such election within thirty (30) days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service. | |
| Withholding Taxes | The Company shall be entitled and is authorized, if the Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or to secure payment from you, in lieu of withholding) for any federal, state or local income taxes payable, as may be permitted under the Plan. | |
| No Employment Rights | This Agreement does not give you the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company and each Subsidiary reserves the right to Terminate you at any time and for any reason, subject to the provisions of your Employment Agreement with the Company, if applicable. | |
| Adjustments | The Committee may adjust the number of Shares covered by this Agreement under certain circumstances as provided in the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Shares granted hereunder (and the vesting thereof) shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company becomes subject to such corporate activity. | |

| Applicable Law | This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Ohio. |
