PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
 
Item 5.	Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.	
The legality of the Common Shares being offered under this Registration Statement has been passed upon for the Company by Frank A. DiPiero, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. DiPiero is a participant in the Plan and, subject to the terms of the Plan, is eligible to receive awards under the Plan. As of October 28, 2016, Mr. DiPiero beneficially owned 7,738 Common Shares.
 
Item 6.	Indemnification of Directors and Officers.	
Our regulations provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of us, or is or was serving at our request as a director, trustee or officer of another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. We will not be required to indemnify any person with respect to any action, suit or proceeding that was initiated by that person unless the action, suit or proceeding was initiated to enforce any rights to indemnification under our regulations and the person is formally adjudged to be entitled to indemnity. The indemnification obligation provided in our regulations is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, the articles of incorporation or any agreement, vote of shareholders or of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in official capacities and as to action in another capacity while he is our director or officer and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, trustee or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of that person.
Our regulations also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any persons that we are required to indemnify under the regulations against any liability asserted against and incurred by that person, in their status or capacity as a party we must indemnify, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. We may also, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enter into an indemnification agreement with any persons that we are required to indemnify under the regulations.
We have entered into contracts with some of our directors and officers to indemnify them against many of the types of claims that may be made against them. We also maintain insurance coverage for the benefit of directors and officers with respect to many types of claims that may be made against them, some of which may be in addition to those described in the regulations.
Section 1701.13 of the Ohio Revised Code, or Section 1701.13, generally permits indemnification of any director, officer or employee with respect to any proceeding against any such person provided that: (a) such person acted in good faith, (b) such person reasonably believed that the conduct was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (c) in the case of criminal proceedings, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may be made against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding; provided, however, that if the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and may not be made with respect to any proceeding in which the director, officer or employee has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, except to the extent that the court in which the proceeding was brought shall determine, upon application, that such person is, in view of all the circumstances, entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer or employee is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the proceeding, indemnification is required. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that the director, officer or employee did not meet the standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted.
Section 1701.13 further provides that indemnification thereunder may not be made by the corporation unless authorized after a determination has been made that such indemnification is proper, with that determination to be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not parties to the proceedings; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, but a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) by the court in which the proceeding was brought. However, a director (but not an officer, employee or agent) is entitled to mandatory advancement of

expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in defending any action, including derivative actions, brought against the director, provided that the director agrees to cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the amount advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that such director’s act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the corporation’s best interests.
Finally, Section 1701.13 provides that indemnification or advancement of expense provided by that Section is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or regulations or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

“ Market Value per Share ” means as of any particular date the closing sale price of the Common Shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange or, if not listed on such exchange, on any other national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed. If the Common Shares are not traded as of any given date, the Market Value per Share means the closing price for the Common Shares on the principal exchange on which the Common Shares are traded for the immediately preceding date on which the Common Shares were traded. If there is no regular public trading market for the Common Shares, the Market Value per Share of the Common Shares shall be the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined in good faith by the Committee.

 	(b)	Each Common Share issued or transferred (and, in the case of Restricted Shares, released from all substantial risks of forfeiture) pursuant to any award (other than an Option Right or Appreciation Right) granted under this Plan shall, for purposes of Section 3(a) of this Plan, (i) with respect to awards granted prior to the Effective Date, reduce the number of Available Common Shares by two and forty-six one hundredths (2.46) Common Shares for each such issued or transferred Common Share, and (ii) with respect to awards granted on or after the Effective Date, reduce the number of Available Common Shares by two and one-half (2.50) Common Shares for each such issued or transferred Common Share (in each case instead of one Common Share). Each Common Share issued or transferred pursuant to any Option Right or Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall, for purposes of Section 3(a) of this Plan, reduce the number of Available Common Shares by one Common Share.

 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of this Plan:

7

 	(v)	No Nonemployee Director will be granted, in any period of one calendar year, awards under the Plan having an aggregate maximum value in excess of $500,000.	
 
 	(vi)	In no event will any Participant in any calendar year receive a Qualified Performance-Based Award that is a Cash Incentive Award having an aggregate maximum value in excess of $6,000,000.	
 
 	(e)	Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, up to 5% of the Available Common Shares, as may be adjusted under Section 14 of this Plan, may be used for awards granted under Section 4 through Section 11 of this Plan that do not at grant comply with the applicable one-year minimum vesting or performance period requirements set forth in such sections of this Plan.

 	(e)	Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan shall not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon.

6.	Restricted Shares . The Committee may also authorize grants or sales to Participants of Restricted Shares upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions:	
 
 	(a)	Each grant or sale shall constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Common Shares to the Participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Participant to dividend, voting and other ownership rights, subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer hereinafter referred to.	
 
 	(b)	Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.

 	(d)	Each grant or sale shall provide that, during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Such restrictions may include without limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Corporation or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee.	
 
 	(e)	Any grant of Restricted Shares may specify Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares; provided , however , that, for Restricted Shares that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives the performance period must be at least one year. Each such grant may specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of	
 
11

 	achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Restricted Shares on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.	
 
 	(f)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant or sale of Restricted Shares may provide for the earlier termination of restrictions on such Restricted Shares, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in Section   13 ); provided , however , that no award of Restricted Shares intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early termination of restrictions (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award.	
 
 	(g)	Any grant or sale may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the Restricted Shares during the period of such restrictions be automatically sequestered; provided , however , that dividends or other distributions on Restricted Shares with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives. Sequestered dividends or other distributions may be reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional Common Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award or such other restrictions as the Committee may determine.	
 
 	(h)	Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i) all certificates representing Restricted Shares will be held in custody by the Corporation until all restrictions thereon will have lapsed, together with a stock power or powers executed by the Participant in whose name such certificates are registered, endorsed in blank and covering such Restricted Shares, or (ii) all Restricted Shares will be held at the Corporation’s transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such Restricted Shares.	
 
7.	Restricted Stock Units . The Committee may also authorize the granting or sale of Restricted Stock Units to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions:	
 
 	(a)	Each grant or sale will constitute the agreement by the Corporation to deliver Common Shares or cash, or a combination thereof, to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of Management Objectives) during the Restriction Period as the Committee may specify. A grant of Restricted Stock Units may specify that the Restriction Period will terminate only	
 
12

 	upon the achievement of Management Objectives; provided , however , that for Restricted Stock Units that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives, the performance period must be at least one year. Each grant may specify in respect of such Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Restricted Stock Units on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.	
 
 	(b)	Each such grant or sale may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by such Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share at the Date of Grant.	
 
 	(c)	If the Restriction Period lapses only by the passage of time rather than the achievement of Management Objectives as provided in subparagraph (a) above, each such grant or sale will be subject to a Restriction Period of not less than one year.	
 
 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units may provide for the earlier lapse or modification of the Restriction Period, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in Section   13 ); provided , however , that no award of Restricted Stock Units intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early lapse or modification of the Restriction Period (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award.	
 
 	(e)	During the Restriction Period, the Participant will have no rights of ownership in the Common Shares deliverable upon payment of the Restricted Stock Units and shall have no right to vote them, but the Committee may at the Date of Grant, authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such Restricted Stock Units on either a current, deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in additional Common Shares; provided , however , that dividend equivalents or other distributions on Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives.	
 
 	(f)	Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will specify the time and manner of payment of the Restricted Stock Units that have been earned.	
 
 	(g)	Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and will contain such terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve.	
 
13

 	(b)	Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.	
 
 	(c)	Each grant or sale shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period to be determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant or until Management Objectives referred to in subparagraph (e) below are achieved; provided , however , that for Deferred Shares that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives, the performance period must be at least one year; and provided , further , that if the Deferral Period lapses only by the passage of time rather than the achievement of Management Objectives, such Deferral Period will be not less than one year.	
 
 	(d)	During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to vote such Deferred Shares, but the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such shares in cash or additional Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis; provided , however , that dividend equivalents on Deferred Shares with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives.	
 
 	(e)	Any grant of Deferred Shares may specify Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the Deferral Period applicable to such Deferred Shares. Each such grant may specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Deferred Shares for which the Deferral Period will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.	
 
 	(f)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant or sale of Deferred Shares may provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period relating to such Deferred Shares, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further	
 
14

 	described in Section   13 ); provided , however , that no award of Deferred Shares intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early termination of the Deferral Period (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award.	
 
 	(g)	Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan.	
 
9.	Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash Incentive Awards . The Committee may also authorize grants to Participants of Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash Incentive Awards, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Management Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions:	
 
 	(a)	Each grant shall specify the number or amount of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or amount payable with respect to Cash Incentive Awards, to which it pertains, subject to the limitations in Section 3 , which may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors; provided , however , that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code.	
 
 	(b)	The Performance Period with respect to each Cash Incentive Award, Performance Share or Performance Unit will be such period of time (not less than one year) as shall be determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant and may be subject to earlier termination, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in Section   13 ); provided , however , that no such award intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early termination (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code.	
 
 	(c)	Each grant shall specify the Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in payment or early payment of the award, and each grant may specify in respect of the specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. The grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units will specify that, before the Performance Shares or Performance Units will be earned and paid, the Board must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied.	
 
15

 	(d)	Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units that shall have been earned, and any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, Common Shares, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, or in any combination thereof.	
 
 	(e)	Any grant of Performance Shares may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Any grant of Performance Units or Cash Incentive Awards may specify that the amount payable, or the number of Common Shares issued, with respect thereto may not exceed maximums specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant.	
 
 	(f)	Any grant of Performance Shares may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or in additional Common Shares, subject in all cases to deferral and payment on a contingent basis based on the Participant’s earning of the Performance Shares with respect to which such dividend equivalents are paid.	
 
 	(g)	Each grant of Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan.

17

13.	Change in Control .	
 
 	(a)	Each applicable Evidence of Award will provide that, in the event of a Change in Control, for outstanding awards under this Plan that vest, are earned or become exercisable (as applicable) based solely on employment, service or the passage of time (as opposed to the achievement of one or more Management Objectives), such awards will accelerate and vest, be earned or become exercisable, as applicable, where either (i) within a specified period the Participant’s employment or service is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause, the Participant terminates his or her employment or service for good reason or the Participant’s employment or service is terminated due to the Participant’s death or disability, or (ii) such awards are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Evidence of Award.	
 
 	(b)	Each applicable Evidence of Award will provide that, in the event of a Change in Control, for outstanding awards under this Plan that vest, are earned or become exercisable (as applicable) based on the achievement of one or more Management Objectives (as opposed to only employment, service or the passage of time), such awards will accelerate and vest, be earned or become exercisable, as applicable, on a pro-rata basis based on actual performance (or the Common Share price relating to the Change in Control, if applicable) for a fractional performance period deemed to end in connection with the Change in Control, where either (i) within a specified period the Participant’s employment or service is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause, the Participant terminates his or her employment or service for good reason or the Participant’s employment or service is terminated due to the Participant’s death or disability, or (ii) such awards are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Evidence of Award.	
 
14.	Adjustments . The Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in the (a) number of Common Shares or number of Common Shares covered by outstanding Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares and Performance Units granted hereunder, (b) prices per share applicable to such Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, (c) if applicable, number of Common Shares covered by other awards granted pursuant to Section 10 hereof, (d) kind of shares (including shares of another issuer) covered thereby, and (e) Cash Incentive Awards, as the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith determines to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that	
 
18

 	otherwise would result from (x) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, (y) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (z) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. In the event of any such transaction or event, or in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under this Plan such alternative consideration (including cash) as it in good faith determines to be equitable under the circumstances and shall require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant provide in the agreement evidencing any award under this Plan that the holder of the award may elect to receive an equivalent award in respect of securities of the surviving entity of any merger, consolidation or other transaction or event having a similar effect, or the Committee may provide that the holder will automatically be entitled to receive such an equivalent award. In addition, for each Option Right or Appreciation Right with an Option Price or Base Price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event or Change in Control, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to cancel such Option Right or Appreciation Right without any payment to the person holding such Option Right or Appreciation Right. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers and kind of shares specified in Section 3 as the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith determines to be appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 14 ; provided , however , that any such adjustment to the number specified in Section 3(d)(i) will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify.	
 
15.	Fractional Shares . The Corporation shall not be required to issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof in cash.	
 
16.	Withholding Taxes . To the extent that the Corporation is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Corporation for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. At the discretion of the Committee, such arrangements may include the tender by the Participant or such other person or the withholding by the Corporation of Common Shares to provide for such withholding taxes. Any Evidence of Award may provide for such arrangements, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may approve. In no event shall the value of the Common Shares to be tendered or withheld pursuant to this Section to satisfy applicable withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld (unless such higher withholding amounts would not result in adverse accounting implications for the Corporation).	
 
19

17.	Certain Terminations of Employment . If permitted by Section 409A of the Code and Section 162(m), but subject to the paragraph that follows, notwithstanding the Plan’s minimum vesting requirements, and including in the case of termination of employment by reason of death, disability or normal retirement or early retirement, or in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other special circumstances or in the event of a Change in Control, to the extent a Participant holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or any Deferred Shares as to which the Deferral Period is not complete, or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has not been completed, or any Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully earned, or any other awards made pursuant to Section 10 subject to any vesting schedule or transfer restriction, or who holds Common Shares subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant to Section 12(b) of this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any action that it deems to be equitable under the circumstances or in the best interests of the Corporation, including, without limitation, accelerate the time at which such Option Right, Appreciation Right or other award may be exercised or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer will lapse or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code.	
Subject to Section 20(b) hereof, the Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted under this Plan prospectively or retroactively, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the Participant’s death or disability, or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. In such case, the Committee will not make any modification of the Management Objectives or the level or levels of achievement with respect to such Qualified Performance-Based Award. Subject to Section 14 above, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. The Committee may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. Termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors under any awards outstanding hereunder and not exercised in full on the date of termination.

Non-U.S. Participants . In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, who are employed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States of America or who provide services to the Corporation under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan (including, without limitation, sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting	
 
20

 	the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Corporation may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Corporation.	
 
19.	Administration of the Plan .	
 
 	(a)	This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall be composed of not less than three members of the Board, each of whom shall (i) meet all applicable independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded, (ii) be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 and (iii) be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under this Plan to any subcommittee thereof. To the extent of any such delegation, references in this Plan to the Committee will be deemed to be references to such subcommittee.	
 
 	(b)	The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of this Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of awards under this Plan and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision of this Plan or any such agreement, notification or document shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action taken or determination made in good faith. In addition, the Committee is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate subject only to the express limitations contained in this Plan, and no authorization in any Plan Section or other provision of this Plan is intended or may be deemed to constitute a limitation on the authority of the Committee.	
 
 	(c)	The Committee, to the full extent permitted by law, may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more other directors or any officer or officers of the Corporation, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and any person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Corporation to do one or more of the following on the same basis as the Committee: (i) designate employees to be recipients of awards under this Plan; and (ii) determine the size and type of any such awards; provided , however , that (x) the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for awards granted to an employee who is an officer, director or more than 10% beneficial owner of any class of the Corporation’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the	
 
21

 	Exchange Act, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or any person subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, (y) the resolution providing for such authorization sets forth the total number of Common Shares such officer(s) may grant and the terms of any award that such officer(s) may grant, and (z) the officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.	
 
20.	Amendments and Other Matters .	
 
 	(a)	This Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee; provided , however , that if an amendment to the Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (ii) would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan or (iv) must otherwise be approved by the shareholders of the Corporation in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Common Shares are traded or quoted, then such amendment will be subject to shareholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may amend this Plan to eliminate provisions which are no longer necessary as a result of changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof.	
 
 	(b)	Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 14 of this Plan, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Option Rights or the Base Price of outstanding Appreciation Rights, or cancel outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Option Rights or Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price of the original Option Rights or Base Price of the original Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without shareholder approval. This Section 20(b) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 14 of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, this Section 20(b) may not be amended without approval by the Corporation’s shareholders.	
 
 	(c)	Except with respect to Options Rights, Appreciation Rights and Restricted Shares, the Committee also may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of Common Shares or the settlement of awards in cash under the Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan and which are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Committee also may provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferral amounts are denominated in Common Shares.	
 
22

 	(d)	The Committee may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards under the Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to the Participant.	
 
 	(e)	To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code from so qualifying, such provision of this Plan shall be null and void with respect to such Option Right; provided , however , that such provision shall remain in effect with respect to other Option Rights, and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.	
 
21.	Detrimental Activity and Recapture Provisions . Any Evidence of Award may provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Corporation of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee from time to time, if a Participant, either during employment by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or within a specified period after termination of such employment, shall engage in any detrimental activity (as defined in the applicable Evidence of Award). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Evidence of Award may also provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Corporation of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee or under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Common Shares may be traded.	
 
22.	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code .	
 
 	(a)	To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administrated in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Plan or any grant made 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 Corporation without the consent of Participants). Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.	
 
 	(b)	If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) such Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Corporation from time to time) and (ii) the	
 
23

 	Corporation makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Corporation shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh month after the Participant’s separation from service.	
 
 	(c)	Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Corporation or any of its affiliates.	
 
 	(d)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and grants hereunder as the Corporation deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Corporation nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.	
 
23.	Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Option Rights or Awards Granted by Other Company . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary:	
 
 	(a)	Awards may be granted under this Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock or stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. Any conversion, substitution or assumption will be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition, and, to the extent applicable, will be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The awards so granted may reflect the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for and need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, and may account for Common Shares substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of shares subject to the original awards, as well as any exercise or purchase prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction.	
 
24

 	(b)	In the event that a company acquired by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or with which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries merges has shares available under a pre-existing plan previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) may be used for awards made after such acquisition or merger under this Plan; provided, however, that awards using such available shares may not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan absent the acquisition or merger, and may only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition or merger.	
 
 	(c)	Any Common Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation under Sections 23(a) or 23(b) above will not reduce the Common Shares available for issuance or transfer under this Plan or otherwise count against the limits contained in Section 3 of this Plan. In addition, no Common Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation under Sections 23(a) or 23(b) above will be added to the aggregate plan limit contained in Section 3 of this Plan.	
 
24.	Effective Date/Termination . This Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. No grant shall be made under this Plan more than ten years after the Effective Date, but all grants made on or prior to such date shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan.	
 
25.	No Right to Employment . This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, and shall not interfere in any way with any right that the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries would otherwise have to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service at any time.	
 
26.	Governing Law . This Plan and all grants and awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio.

Re:	Registration Statement on Form S-8 Filed by TimkenSteel Corporation	
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of TimkenSteel Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the TimkenSteel Corporation Amended and Restated 2014 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). In my capacity as counsel for the Company, I (or a member of my staff) have examined such documents, records and matters of law as I have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that the 4,300,000 common shares, without par value, of the Company (the “Shares”) that may be issued or delivered and sold pursuant to the Plan and the authorized forms of stock option, restricted stock or other applicable award agreements thereunder (the “Award Agreements”) will be, when issued or delivered and sold in accordance with the Plan and the Award Agreements, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio, as currently in effect, and I express no opinion as to the effects of the laws of any other jurisdiction on the opinion expressed herein. In addition, I have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue or deliver and sell the Shares pursuant to the Plan and the Award Agreements will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Shares are issued or delivered and sold by the Company, and that the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions. In rendering the opinion above, I have assumed that each award under the Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
