Spouse or Beneficiary shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Participant’s Employer. The Company may establish a so-called “rabbi trust” to hold funds, stock or other securities to be used in payment of the obligations of the Employers under the Plan, and may fund such trust; provided, however, that any funds contained therein shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company or any other Employer for which the Participant performs services. It is the intention of the Employers that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. No liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be imposed upon any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company or any other Employer, or upon the Board, the Committee or any member thereof.

(b)

No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute a guaranty by any Employer, the Committee or the Board that the assets of any Employer will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder.

(c)

Assignments and Restrictions. To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise provided in this Section (c), no right or interest of a Participant or Spouse under this Plan shall be transferable or assignable (either at law or in equity) nor shall any such right or interest be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process of any kind, voluntary or involuntary, or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts of any Participant or Spouse. If a Participant shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him, then the Company, in its discretion, may terminate his interest in any such benefit to the extent the Company considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a “termination declaration” with the Committee and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to the Participant (the “Terminated Participant”) whose interest is affected thereby. As long as the Terminated Participant is alive, any benefits affected by the termination shall be retained by the Company and, in the Company’s sole and absolute judgment, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of the Terminated Participants, his spouse, his children or any other person or persons in fact dependent upon him in such a manner as the Company shall deem proper. Upon the death of the Terminated Participant, all benefits withheld from him and not paid to others in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Terminated Participant’s

surviving Spouse or, if none, to the Terminated Participant’s then living descendants, including adopted children, per stripes.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable under this Plan may be withheld by the Company as they become due to the extent necessary to cover any debts or other obligations owed to the Company by the Participant, but only if such debts or other obligations are acknowledged as such in writing by the Participant or are confirmed as such by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)		Headings. The various headings used in this Plan are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting the test of the Article, Section, paragraph or subparagraph in which they appear.

(e)		Employment. The establishment of this Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer.

(f)		Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

(g)		Binding Effect on Employer, Participants, Spouses and Their Successors. This Plan shall be binding and inure to the benefit of any Employer or its successors and assigns, and the Participants, Spouses and their heirs, legatees, distributes, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

(h)		Participant Information. Each participant shall keep the Committee informed of his current address and the current address of his Spouse, if applicable. The Participant shall furnish to the Committee any and all information deemed by the Committee to be necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the Plan.

(i)		Incapacity. In the event that a Participant or Spouse is declared incompetent and a guardian, conservator or other person is appointed and legally charged with the care of the person or the person’s estate, the payments under the Plan to which such Participant or Spouse is entitled shall be paid to such guardian, conservator or other person legally charged with the care of the person or the estate. Except as provided hereinabove, when the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant or Spouse is unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Company may make distribution(s) of the amounts payable to such Participant or Spouse to any one or more of the spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants or other closest living relatives of such Participant or Spouse who demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Company the propriety of making such distribution(s). Any payment so made shall not exceed such amount as is permitted

under Section 409A of the Code and shall be in complete discharge of any liability under this Agreement for such payment. The Company shall not be required to see to the application of any such distribution made under this Section.

(j)

Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and the benefits payable hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and the benefits payable hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or benefit payable hereunder to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Participants).

ARTICLE XIV

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

(a)

Amendment. The Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect whatsoever by the Company and by the Committee to the extent consistent with its delegated authority. Any such amendment may be retroactive, prospective or both. No such amendment of the Plan document or termination of the Plan, however, shall reduce a Participant’s Plan Account as of the date of such amendment unless the Participant so affected consents in writing to the amendment or such amendment is deemed necessary by the Company to affect the intended purposes of this Plan and/or to comply with applicable law.

(b)

Termination. The Company reserves the right to discontinue contributions at any time. The Company also reserves the right to cause an acceleration of the time of a Plan payment where the acceleration of such payment is made in accordance with one of the following provisions:

(i)

Dissolution or Bankruptcy. At the discretion of the Company within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code §331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that Plan benefits are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of:

	(A)		the calendar year in which the Plan termination and liquidation occurs;

	(B)		the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

	(C)		the first calendar year in which payment is administratively feasible.

(ii)

Discretionary Termination. At the discretion of the Company, provided that:

	(A)		the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company;

	(B)		all other arrangements sponsored by the Company that would be aggregated with this arrangement under Code §409A are also terminated, to the extent any Participant in this Plan also has a benefit under any such other arrangement;

	(C)		no payments in liquidation of the Plan, other than payments that would have been made under this Plan had the termination not occurred, are made from the Plan within 12 months of the termination;

	(D)		all benefits are fully distributed within 24 months of such termination; and

	(E)		the Company does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated under Code §409A with this Plan for 3 years following the date the Company has taken all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate this Plan
