Beneficiary designation. You may name a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any portion of your Award that is to be settled after you die. This may be done only on the attached Beneficiary Designation Form and by following the rules described in that form. This form need not be completed now and is not required as a condition of receiving your Award. If you die without completing a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you do not complete that form properly, your Beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse, your estate. Tax Withholding: Income taxes must be withheld when your Award is settled (see the Plan's prospectus for a discussion of the tax treatment of your Award). After the end of the Performance Period (and when the Company calculates the amount of your Award that has been earned), you will be contacted about how you want to meet this withholding obligation. You may meet this withholding obligation in one of several ways. They are: - The Company may withhold this amount from other amounts owed to you (e.g., from your salary or from the cash portion of your Award). - You may pay these taxes by giving the Company a check (payable to "The Ohio Casualty Insurance Company") in an amount equal to the taxes that must be withheld and that cannot be met through the cash portion of the Award. - By having the Company withhold a portion of the shares that otherwise would be distributed. The number of shares withheld will have a fair market value equal to the taxes that must be withheld. - You may give the Company other shares of Company stock (that you have owned for at least six months) with a value equal to the taxes that must be withheld. You may choose the approach you prefer. However, the Company may reject your preferred method for any reason (or for no reason). If you do not choose a method of meeting your withholding obligation (or if the Company rejects your preferred method of meeting this obligation), the taxes due will be withheld from cash otherwise due to you, including the cash portion of your Award, or, if sufficient cash is not due when these taxes must be paid, the Company will withhold a number of shares with a fair market value equal to the additional amount that must be withheld.
