Section 1.9 of Appendix A is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and by replacing it with the following:

Section 1.9 of Appendix A – Distribution of Dividends

Cash dividends paid on shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. Common Stock attributable to the ESOP Feature may be: (a) paid in cash directly to Participants; (b) paid to the Plan and subsequently distributed to Participants in cash no later than 90 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the dividends are paid to the Plan; (c) paid to the Plan and reinvested in Worthington Industries, Inc. Company Stock; or (d) paid to the Plan and reinvested in accordance with Participant’s investment directions for contributions. Such dividends shall be paid, and held pending distribution or reinvestment, in accordance with nondiscrimination rules and procedures established by the Committee.

A Participant shall have the election to have such dividends either: (i) paid to the Participant as provided in clause (a) or (b) above (as determined by the Committee); or (ii) paid to the Plan and reinvested as provided in clause (c) or (d) above. Any such election shall be made in accordance with nondiscriminatory rules and procedures prescribed by the Committee and shall be irrevocable as of any deadline prescribed by the Committee. If a Participant fails to make a timely, affirmative election to receive a distribution of cash dividends on shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. Company Stock allocated to his ESOP Account, such dividends shall be paid to the Plan and reinvested in Worthington Industries, Inc. Common Stock. A Participant shall be given a reasonable opportunity before a dividend is paid or distributed to him in which to make the election and shall have the right to change his election at least annually in accordance with nondiscriminatory rules and procedures prescribed by the Committee.

A Participant shall be fully vested in any dividend with respect to which the Participant is offered an election under this Section 1.9.

A former Participant and the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant or former Participant shall have the same rights as a Participant under this Section 1.9.

The provisions of this Section 1.9 are intended to comply with Section 404(k) of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.
