resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (F) does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (i); |
(ii) | individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, that (A) any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Corporations shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Corporation as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board; |

- 2 -
(iv) | the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Corporation Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number of Corporation Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Corporation (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Corporations acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Corporation Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Corporation Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur. |
Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, if a Grantees employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control, and the Grantee reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, (a Third Party), then for all purposes of this Program, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control for such Grantee.

Each award to an Insider under this Program shall be deemed issued subject to the foregoing qualification. |

(h) | This Program and all action taken under it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. |
- 6 -
5. | Term |
This Program will continue in effect until terminated by the Board.
6. | Awards That May Be Granted |
The aggregate number of shares that may be subject to awards granted under this Program in any fiscal year, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below, will be equal to the sum of (a) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the number of shares outstanding on the last day of the previous fiscal year; plus (b) the number of shares that were available for the grant of awards in previous fiscal years; provided, that, in no event will the number of shares available for the grant of awards in any fiscal year exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the shares outstanding on the last day of the previous fiscal year. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of ISOs is 1,000,000. When an unexercised award lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited, the related shares may be available for distribution in connection with future awards but will continue to be subject to the 2.5% maximum described above. The assumption of awards granted by an organization acquired by the Corporation, or the grant of awards under this Program in substitution for any such awards, will not reduce the number of shares available in any fiscal year for the grant of awards under this Program.
7. | Adjustments |
In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase common stock of the Corporation at a price substantially below fair market value, or other similar corporate event affects the common stock of the Corporation such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Program, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (a) the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be the subject of Awards under this Program, (b) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (c) the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing.
8. | Stock Options |
One or more stock options can be granted to any eligible employee. No employee may be granted stock options for more than 500,000 (increased to 750,000 as of 10/1/07 stock split pursuant to adjustment provided in Section 7) shares of common stock in any three-year period. Each stock option so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose. The exercise price per share shall be specified by the grant, but shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of Fair Market Value at the time of grant. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash, shares, or other consideration, or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Program and any applicable regulations of the Committee in effect at the time and valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the stock option. Fair Market Value on the exercise date shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the
- 7 -
Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Stock options granted hereunder may be designated as ISOs (except to the extent otherwise specified in this Section 8) or nonqualified stock options. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which stock options designated as ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any grantee during any year (under all plans of the Corporation and any Subsidiary thereof) exceeds $100,000, such stock options shall be treated as not being ISOs. ISOs must comply with requirements of Section 422 of the Code.
9. | Stock Appreciation Rights |
(a) | An SAR may be granted to an eligible employee as a separate award under this Plan. Any SAR granted under this Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, which shall include provisions that (i) such SAR shall entitle the holder upon exercise in accordance with such SAR and the regulations of the Committee, to receive from the Corporation that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the exercise date, of one share over the exercise price per share specified by the grant of such SAR (which shall in no instance be less than 100 percent of fair market value at the time of grant) times the number of shares specified in such SAR, or portion thereof, which is so exercised. Fair Market Value on the exercise date shall be determined pursuant to administrative rules established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with applicable law. |
(b) | Any stock option granted under this Program may include an SAR, either at the time of grant or by amendment. An SAR included in a stock option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that: |
(i) | such SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, the stock option is exercisable; and |
(ii) | such SAR shall entitle the optionee to surrender to the Corporation unexercised the stock option in which the SAR is included, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefor that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the fair market value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one share over the exercise price specified in such stock option times the number of shares specified in such stock option, or portion thereof, which is so surrendered. |
(c) | In lieu of the right to receive all or any specified portion of such shares, an SAR may entitle the holder thereof to receive the cash equivalent thereof as specified by the grant. |
(d) | An SAR may provide that such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on the business day preceding the expiration of such SAR or the related stock option, if any, if at such time such SAR has positive value and would have expired. |
- 8 -
10. | Restricted Stock |
(a) | An award of restricted stock may be granted hereunder to an eligible employee, for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant. The terms and conditions of restricted stock, including the vesting period, shall be specified by the Committee, at its sole discretion, in the grant. |
(b) | Any restricted stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of restricted stock awarded hereunder, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such award. |
11. | Incentive Shares |
(a) | An incentive award may be granted hereunder in the form of shares. Incentive shares may be granted to an eligible employee for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant. The terms and conditions of incentive shares shall be specified by the grant. |
(b) | Incentive shares may be paid to the grantee in a single installment or in installments and may be paid at the time of grant or deferred to a later date or dates. Each grant shall specify the time and method of payment as determined by the Committee. |
12. | Dividend Equivalent Rights; Interest Equivalents |
(a) | A DER may be granted hereunder to an eligible employee, as a component of another award or as a separate award. The terms and conditions of DERs shall be specified by the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares (which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalents). Any such reinvestment shall be at fair market value at the time thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A DER granted as a component of another award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such DER shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award. A DER granted as a component of another award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other award. |
(b) | Any award under this Program that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide by the grant for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the grant. |
- 9 -
13. | Deferral of Payment |
With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of shares, cash or any combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a single future delivery. The Committee may also permit selected grantees to defer payment of some or all of their awards, as well as other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.
14. | Termination of Employment |
If the employment of a grantee terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid awards may be exercisable and paid only in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may provide, as the Committee deems appropriate, for the expiration, continuation, or acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the awards.
15. | Detrimental Activity |
The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred awards at any time if the grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Program or with the terms of any notice of award or if the grantee engages in detrimental activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an award, require a grantee to acknowledge that he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Program and of any notice of award and has not engaged in any detrimental activity.
16. | Change in Control |
The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, accelerate the date on which any outstanding option or SAR becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on the vesting of any restricted or incentive shares in the event of a proposed change in control of the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase stock options previously granted to any person who is at the time of any such transaction an employee of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the consideration per share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction and the option price.
17. | Substitute Awards |
The Committee may grant awards in substitution for, or upon the assumption of, awards granted by another corporation that is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of which is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The terms and provisions of any awards granted under this Section 16 may vary from the terms and provisions otherwise specified in this Program and may, instead, correspond to the terms and provisions of the awards granted by the other corporation.
- 10 -
18. | Amendments to This Program; Amendments of Outstanding Awards |
(a) | The Board can from time to time amend or terminate this Program, or any provision hereof. Approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be required only to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, regulation, or listing requirement, or to qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board. |
(b) | The Committee may, in its discretion, amend the terms of any award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of any grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in part, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any award. |
19. | Withholding Taxes |
The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Program any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver shares or securities of the Corporation upon exercise of a stock option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, upon delivery of restricted stock or incentive shares, or upon exercise, settlement, or payment of any other award under this Program, that the grantee of such award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes. Any award under this Program may provide by the grant that the grantee of such award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the granting authority, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in shares. The grantee shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is determinable, shares previously owned by such grantee or a portion of the shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such grantee pursuant to such award having a fair market value equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes to be paid in shares.
20. | Grants of Awards to Employees Who are Foreign Nationals |
Without amending this Program, but subject to the limitations specified in Section 18 above, the Committee can grant, amend, administer, annul, or terminate awards to eligible employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Program as may in the judgment of the granting authority be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Program.
21. | Rights of Employees |
Nothing in this Program will confer upon any grantee the right to continued employment by the Corporation or limit in any way the Corporations right to terminate any grantees employment at will.
- 11 -
