CERTAIN WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN MATTERS

Section 6.1 TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel established the TimkenSteel Corporation Welfare Benefit Plan for Retirees and the TimkenSteel Corporation Bargaining Unit Welfare Benefit Plan for Retirees (together, the “TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans”). Each TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plan has terms and features (including benefit coverage options, employer contribution provisions and retiree medical coverage) that are substantially similar to one of the Bearings Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 6.1(a) (such Bearings Benefit Plans, the “Split Retiree Welfare Plans”) such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each Split Retiree Welfare Plan is substantially replicated by a TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plan, except as otherwise provided on Schedule 6.1(a). As of the Plan Split Date, each TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plan covers those TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their Plan Payees who immediately prior to the Plan Split Date were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under, the corresponding Split Retiree Welfare Plan. The TimkenSteel

-16-

Group and the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans are solely responsible for all claims incurred by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their Plan Payees under the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans and Split Retiree Welfare Plans (“TimkenSteel Retiree Welfare Claims”) before, on and after the Plan Split Date, but only to the extent such claims are not payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group. To the extent any TimkenSteel Retiree Welfare Claims are payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group, Timken will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to process such claim and obtain payment under the applicable insurance policy. Effective as of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel Employees and their Plan Payees ceased to be covered by the Split Retiree Welfare Plans. The Bearings Group and the Split Retiree Welfare Plans will remain solely responsible for all claims incurred by Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees and their Plan Payees, whether incurred before, on, or after the Plan Split Date.

(b) Effective not later than the Distribution, TimkenSteel or a member of the TimkenSteel Group will establish certain other welfare benefit plans (such plans, the “TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans”). TimkenSteel will cause each TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plan to have terms and features (including benefit coverage options, employer contribution provisions and retiree medical coverage) that are substantially similar to one of the Bearings Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 6.1(b) (such Bearings Benefit Plans, the “Split Welfare Plans”) such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each Split Welfare Plan is substantially replicated by a TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plan, except as otherwise provided on Schedule 6.1(b). From and after the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel will cause each TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plan to cover those TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their Plan Payees who immediately prior to the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under, the corresponding Split Welfare Plan, except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement. With respect to any severance benefits owed to any Bearings Employee, Former Bearings Business Employee, TimkenSteel Employee, or Former TimkenSteel Business Employee as a result of a termination of employment occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date (the “Retained Severance Benefits”), the Bearings Group and the applicable Bearings Welfare Plans (including the Split Welfare Plans) will be solely responsible for all such Retained Severance Benefits. The TimkenSteel Group and the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans will be solely responsible for all claims incurred by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their Plan Payees under the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans and Split Welfare Plans (except with respect to Retained Severance Benefits or as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement) (“TimkenSteel Welfare Claims”) before, on and after the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, but only to the extent such claims are not otherwise payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group. To the extent any TimkenSteel Welfare Claims are payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group, Timken will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to process such claim and obtain payment under the applicable insurance policy. Effective as of the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, Timken will cause TimkenSteel Employees and their Plan Payees to cease to be

-17-

covered by the Bearings Welfare Plans (including the Split Welfare Plans), except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement. The Bearings Group and the Bearings Welfare Plans will remain solely responsible for all claims incurred by Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees and their Plan Payees, whether incurred before, on, or after the Distribution Date.

(c) For purposes of this Section 6.1, a claim will be deemed “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, severance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that treatment or services are provided (for purposes of health care programs).

Section 6.2 Continuation of Elections.

(a) As of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel has caused the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans to recognize elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations, all continuation coverage and conversion elections, and all qualified medical child support orders and other orders issued by courts of competent jurisdiction) in effect with respect to Former TimkenSteel Business Employees prior to the Plan Split Date under the corresponding Split Retiree Welfare Plan, to the extent such elections and designations and orders are applicable to such Split Retiree Welfare Plan, and will continue to apply and maintain in force comparable elections and designations and orders under the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are by their terms effective.

(b) As of the Distribution Date, or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel will cause the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans to recognize elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations, all continuation coverage and conversion elections, and all qualified medical child support orders and other orders issued by courts of competent jurisdiction) in effect with respect to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees prior to the Distribution Date, or Applicable Transfer Date, under the corresponding Split Welfare Plan, to the extent such elections and designations and orders are applicable to such Split Welfare Plan, and apply and maintain in force comparable elections and designations and orders under the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are by their original terms effective.

Section 6.3 Deductibles and Other Cost-Sharing Provisions.

(a) As of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel has caused the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans to recognize all amounts applied to deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums with respect to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees under the corresponding Split Retiree Welfare Plan during the plan year in which the Plan Split Date occurs, and the TimkenSteel Spinoff Retiree Welfare Plans have not imposed any limitations on coverage for preexisting conditions other than such limitations as were applicable under the corresponding Split Retiree Welfare Plan prior to the Plan Split Date.

-18-

(b) As of the Distribution Date, or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel will cause the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans to recognize all amounts applied to deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums with respect to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees under the corresponding Split Welfare Plan during the plan year in which the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date occurs, and the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans will not impose any limitations on coverage for preexisting conditions other than such limitations as were applicable under the corresponding Split Welfare Plan prior to the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date.

Section 6.4 Flexible Spending Account Treatment. Notwithstanding Sections 6.2 and 6.3 to the contrary, with respect to the portion of a Split Welfare Plan that consists of medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts (the “Bearings Flexible Account Plan”), as of the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel will be solely responsible for all liabilities with respect to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees, and the applicable TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plan (the “TimkenSteel Flexible Account Plan”) will, as required under Section 6.2, give effect to the elections of TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees that were in effect under the corresponding Split Welfare Plan as of the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date. As soon as practicable following the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date, Timken will transfer to TimkenSteel in cash an amount equal to the total amount that TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees have contributed to the Bearings Flexible Account Plan through the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date for the calendar year that includes the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date less all amounts that have been paid from Bearings Flexible Account Plan through the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date for medical and dependent care claims incurred by the TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees in the calendar year that includes the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date (such difference, the “Flex Plan Amount”). If the Flex Plan Amount is less than $0, as soon as practicable after the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel will transfer to Timken in cash an amount equal to all amounts that have been paid from Bearings Flexible Account Plan through the Distribution Date for medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by the TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees in the calendar year that includes the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date less the total amount that TimkenSteel Employees and Former Timken Steel Business Employees have contributed to Bearings Flexible Account Plan through the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date for the calendar year that includes the Distribution or Applicable Transfer Date. After the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, the TimkenSteel Flexible Account Plan will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursable medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees, regardless of when the claims were incurred.

-19-

Section 6.5 Workers’ Compensation. The Bearings Group will be solely responsible for all United States (including its territories) workers’ compensation claims of Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees, regardless of when the Workers’ Compensation Events to which such claims relate occur. The Bearings Group will have sole authority for administering, making decisions with respect to, and paying all United States (including its territories) workers’ compensation claims of TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees with respect to Workers’ Compensation Events occurring before the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date (“TimkenSteel Workers’ Compensation Claims”), subject to the prior consent of TimkenSteel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The consent described in the immediately preceding sentence will be evidenced in writing with respect to any decision relating to (a) the settlement of a TimkenSteel Workers’ Compensation Claim, (b) the designation of an “allowed condition,” or (c) the administration of ongoing litigation. TimkenSteel will, and will cause any other TimkenSteel Entity (and each of their respective successors and assigns) to, jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Timken and each member of the Bearings Group and each of their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all Damages incurred by Timken arising out of or in connection with a TimkenSteel Workers’ Compensation Claim, whether such Damages arise or accrue prior to, on or following the Distribution Date, but only to the extent such Damages are not payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group. To the extent any such Damages are payable under an insurance policy held by the Bearings Group, Timken will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to obtain payment of such Damages under the applicable insurance policy. The TimkenSteel Group will be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of TimkenSteel Employees with respect to Workers’ Compensation Events occurring on or after the Distribution Date.

Section 6.6 COBRA. Effective as of the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, TimkenSteel or a member of the TimkenSteel Group will assume or will cause the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans to assume sole responsibility for compliance with COBRA after the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date for all TimkenSteel Employees, Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their “qualified beneficiaries” for whom a “qualifying event” occurs before, on or after the Distribution Date or the Applicable Transfer Date; provided, however, that Timken or a member of the Bearings Group will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any TimkenSteel Transferee. Timken, the Bearings Group, or a Split Welfare Plan will remain solely responsible for compliance with COBRA before, on and after the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date for Bearings Employees, Former Bearings Business Employees and their “qualified beneficiaries”; provided, however, that TimkenSteel or a member of the TimkenSteel Group will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any Bearings Transferee. The terms “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” will have the meanings given to them under Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601-608. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.1(b) will govern whether the TimkenSteel Spinoff Welfare Plans or Split Welfare Plans are responsible for claims incurred by TimkenSteel Employees, Former TimkenSteel Business Employees, or their qualified beneficiaries, while receiving continuation coverage under COBRA.

-20-

Section 6.7 Timken VEBA. As of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel has established the Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association sponsored by TimkenSteel or its Affiliates as a tax exempt trust under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code (the “TimkenSteel VEBA”). Timken will or will cause the trustee of The Timken Company Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association Trust (the “Timken VEBA”) to segregate, and then transfer to the trustee of the TimkenSteel VEBA, a portion of the assets held by the Timken VEBA equal to: the fair market value, as of the Plan Split Date, of the assets of the Timken VEBA multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the accumulated post-retirement health benefit obligation determined under ASC 715-60 for Represented TimkenSteel Employees and Represented Former TimkenSteel Employees whose right to post-retirement health benefits is subject to or otherwise based in whole or in part on 1 or more Collective Bargaining Agreements, and the denominator of which is the accumulated post-retirement health benefit obligation determined under ASC 715-60 for all participants and dependents whose right to post-retirement health benefits is subject to or otherwise based in whole or in part on 1 or more Collective Bargaining Agreements. For this purpose, the ASC 715-60 accumulated post-retirement health benefit obligation will be measured at the Plan Split Date using the discount rate in effect at the Plan Split Date, and those other actuarial assumptions then being used by Towers Xxxxxx to satisfy Timken’s ASC 715-60 reporting obligation. The segregation described in this Section 6.7 shall occur no later than 30 days after the Plan Split Date. The transfer described in this Section 6.7 shall occur within 180 days after the Distribution Date (unless the parties otherwise agree to postpone such transfer date) and shall be made in cash or, to the extent agreed by the parties, marketable securities.

ARTICLE VII

TAX-QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

Section 7.1 TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel has established and adopted certain defined benefit plans that are intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a), along with a related master trust or trusts that is exempt under Code Section 501(a) (such plans and trusts, the “TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans”). On the Plan Split Date, each TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan has terms and features (including benefit accrual provisions) that are substantially similar to one of the Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 7.1(a) (such Benefit Plans, the “Split DB Plans”), such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each Split DB Plan is substantially replicated by a corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan. Each TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan assumed liability for all benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their respective Plan Payees under the corresponding Split DB Plan as of the Plan Split Date. As of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel or a member of the TimkenSteel Group is solely responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions (including the submission of the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans to the Internal Revenue Service for a determination of tax-qualified status) to establish, maintain and administer the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans so that they are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related

-21-

trusts thereunder are exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. The portion of liabilities relating to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their respective Plan Payees have ceased to be liabilities of the applicable Split DB Plan, and have been assumed by the corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan in accordance with this Section and Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and Section 208 of ERISA.

(b) Timken or a member of the Bearings Group has caused its actuary to determine the estimated value, as of the Plan Split Date, of the assets required to be held on behalf of each TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan in accordance with the assumptions and methodologies set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and ERISA Section 4044 (the “Estimated Retirement Plan Transfer Amount” for each such plan). Within 60 days after the Plan Split Date, Timken or a member of the Bearings Group caused the trust for each Split DB Plan to transfer to the trust of each TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan an amount in cash or in-kind equal to approximately 95% of the Estimated Retirement Plan Transfer Amount for such plan.

(c) Within 3 months after the Plan Split Date, Timken or another member of the Bearings Group will cause its actuary to provide TimkenSteel with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Plan Split Date, of the assets to be transferred to each TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan determined in accordance with the assumptions and methodologies set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and ERISA Section 4044 and reflecting any demographic updates (the “Final Retirement Plan Transfer Amount” for each such TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan). Within 120 days after the Plan Split Date, Timken will cause each Split DB Plan to transfer to the corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan an amount in cash or in kind equal to (i) the Final Retirement Plan Transfer Amount, minus (ii) any amounts previously transferred from such Split DB Plan (A) directly to the corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan or (B) to a Third Party on behalf of the corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan (such amount, the “True-Up Amount”). If the True-Up Amount is a negative number with respect to any TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan, TimkenSteel will cause each such TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan to transfer to the corresponding Split DB Plan an amount, in cash or in kind, by which the amounts described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence exceed the Final Retirement Plan Transfer Amount. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Split DB Plans’ transfer of the True-Up Amount to the corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans will be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Timken and the Split DB Plans to transfer assets to the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans pursuant to this Section. Any amounts transferred between a Split DB Plan and a TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c), or otherwise to effectuate this Article VII, will be adjusted for earnings in a manner to be determined by mutual agreement of Timken and TimkenSteel.

(d) From and after the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel and the members of the TimkenSteel Group are solely and exclusively responsible for all obligations and liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans, whether accrued before, on or after the Plan Split Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans will have the sole and exclusive obligation to the extent

-22-

required by Law and the terms of the applicable TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan to restore the unvested accrued benefits attributable to any Former TimkenSteel Business Employee who becomes employed by a member of the TimkenSteel Group and whose employment with Timken or any of its Affiliates terminated on or before the Plan Split Date at a time when such individual’s benefits under the Split DB Plan were not fully vested. Furthermore, the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans will have the sole obligation to restore accounts attributable to any lost participants who were formerly employed in the Steel Business to the extent required by applicable Law.

Section 7.2 Continuation of Elections. As of the Plan Split Date, TimkenSteel (acting directly or through a member of the TimkenSteel Group) will cause the TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plans to recognize and maintain all existing elections, including beneficiary designations, payment form elections and rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders with respect to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their respective Plan Payees under the corresponding Split DB Plan.

Section 7.3 Delayed Transfer Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Article VII, the term “Bearings Employees” will not include Bearings Transferees, and the term “TimkenSteel Employees” will not include TimkenSteel Transferees. Timken and TimkenSteel will cooperate in good faith to address any loss a Delayed Transfer Employee experiences under a Split DB Plan or TimkenSteel Spinoff DB Plan by reason of such employee’s transfer described in Section 2.4.

ARTICLE VIII

U.S. TAX-QUALIFIED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

Section 8.1 TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Distribution Date, TimkenSteel or another member of the TimkenSteel Group will adopt and establish certain defined contribution plans that are intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a), and a related master trust or trusts exempt under Code Section 501(a) (such plans and trusts, the “TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plans”). Each TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plan will have terms and features (including employer contribution provisions) that are substantially similar to one of the Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 8.1(a) (such Benefit Plans, the “Split DC Plans”) such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each Split DC Plan is substantially replicated by a corresponding TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plan. TimkenSteel or a member of the TimkenSteel Group will be solely responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions (including the submission of the TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plans to the Internal Revenue Service for a determination of tax-qualified status) to establish, maintain and administer the TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plans so that they are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trusts thereunder are exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Each TimkenSteel Spinoff DC Plan will assume liability for all benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees under the corresponding Split DC Plan as of the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date.

-23-

Each TimkenSteel Spinoff Nonqualified Plan will assume liability for all benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees and their respective Plan Payees under the corresponding Split Nonqualified Plan as of the Distribution Date. From and after the Distribution Date, TimkenSteel and the TimkenSteel Group will be solely and exclusively responsible for all obligations and liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the TimkenSteel Spinoff Nonqualified Plans, whether accrued before, on or after the Distribution Date, except that Timken will be responsible for distributing any Timken Common Shares that are to be distributed pursuant to any Spinoff Nonqualified Plan.

Section 9.2 No Distributions on Separation. Timken and TimkenSteel acknowledge that neither the Distribution nor any of the other transactions contemplated by this Employee Matters Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any Benefit Plan that is a nonqualified retirement plan for any Bearings Employee, TimkenSteel Employee, former Bearings Employee or Former TimkenSteel Business Employee and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any Bearings Employee, TimkenSteel Employee, former Bearings Employee or Former TimkenSteel Business Employee is entitled under any such Benefit Plan will occur upon such individual’s separation from service from the Bearings Group or the TimkenSteel Group, as applicable, or at such other time as specified in the applicable Benefit Plan.

Such a TimkenSteel Transferee’s Applicable Transfer Date will be treated as the Distribution Date. In addition, the Bearings Group will assume and be solely responsible, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Split Nonqualified Plan, for any benefits accrued by any Bearings Transferee under any TimkenSteel Spinoff Nonqualified Plan, and the TimkenSteel Group will have no liability with respect thereto.

TIMKEN EQUITY COMPENSATION AWARDS

Section 10.1 Outstanding Timken Equity Compensation Awards.

(a) Each Timken Equity Compensation Award that is outstanding as of the Distribution will be adjusted as described below, so that each holder of a Timken Equity Compensation Award will hold adjusted equity awards comprised of a TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Award and a Bearings Equity Compensation Award unless otherwise provided in this Section 10.1(a); provided, however, that, effective immediately prior to the Distribution, the Timken Compensation Committee may provide for different adjustments with respect to some or all of a holder’s Timken Equity Compensation Awards. For greater certainty, any adjustments made by the Timken Compensation Committee will be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and will be binding on the parties hereto and their respective Subsidiaries.

(i) Each Timken Option generally will be adjusted in the manner described below, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, so that immediately following the Distribution each Timken Option holder will hold Bearings Options and TimkenSteel Options in lieu of the Timken Options previously held. The following procedure will generally be applied to each Timken Option with the same grant date and exercise price held by each Timken Option holder as of the Distribution Date:

(A) The Bearings Option will have an exercise price equal to the applicable Bearings Price. The number of Bearings Options will equal the number of Timken Options to which they relate. Such Bearings Options will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Options to which they relate.

(B) The TimkenSteel Option will have an exercise price equal to the applicable TimkenSteel Price. The number of TimkenSteel Options will equal the number of Timken Options multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole option. Such TimkenSteel Options will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Options to which they relate.

(ii) With respect to Timken Restricted Shares, Timken Deferred Shares, and Timken Performance-Based RSUs and Timken Time-Based RSUs:

(A) Each holder of Timken Restricted Shares will generally receive from TimkenSteel, as of the time of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, TimkenSteel Restricted Shares determined in the same manner as for other shareholders of Timken Common Shares based on the Distribution Ratio, with the value of any fractional share paid to the holder in cash, less any applicable taxes, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (with such cash payment to be made by TimkenSteel to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees on the Distribution Date and by Timken to all other holders), except to the extent that such cash

-28-

payment would result in adverse Tax consequences to the holder under Code Section 409A. Such TimkenSteel Restricted Shares will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Restricted Shares to which they relate (including the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid on TimkenSteel Common Shares). Each Timken Restricted Share will continue to be one Bearings Restricted Share which will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Restricted Shares to which it relates.

(B) Each holder of Timken Deferred Shares will generally receive from TimkenSteel, as of the time of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, an award for TimkenSteel Deferred Shares, determined in the same manner as for shareholders of Timken Common Shares based on the Distribution Ratio, with the value of any fractional share paid to the holder in cash, less any applicable taxes, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (with such cash payment to be made by TimkenSteel to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees on the Distribution Date and by Timken to all other holders), except to the extent that such cash payment would result in adverse Tax consequences to the holder under Code Section 409A. All TimkenSteel Deferred Shares will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Deferred Shares to which they relate (including the right to be credited with dividends or other distributions paid on TimkenSteel Common Shares). Each Timken Deferred Share will continue to be a Bearings Deferred Share which will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Deferred Share to which it relates.

(C) Each holder of Timken Time-Based RSUs will generally receive from TimkenSteel, as of the time of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, TimkenSteel Time-Based RSUs, determined in the same manner as for shareholders of Timken Common Shares based on the Distribution Ratio, with the value of any fractional share paid to the holder in cash, less any applicable taxes, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (with such cash payment to be made by TimkenSteel to TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees on the Distribution Date and by Timken to all other holders), except to the extent that such cash payment will result in adverse Tax consequences to the holder under Code Section 409A. All TimkenSteel Time-Based RSUs will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other

-29-

terms and conditions as the Timken Time-Based RSUs to which they relate. Each Timken Time-Based RSU will continue to be a Bearings Time-Based RSU which will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Time-Based RSU to which it relates.

(D) The determination of whether any portion of a 2012 Performance-Based RSU award has been earned will be made based upon the achievement of the applicable management objectives measured as of the Distribution Date. Such determination will be made by the Timken Compensation Committee in accordance with the applicable Timken LTIP. Notwithstanding any provision of the applicable award agreement, Timken will pay each such award held by a Bearings Employee or a Former Bearings Business Employee, and TimkenSteel will pay each such award held by a TimkenSteel Employee or a Former TimkenSteel Business Employee, in cash between January 1, 2015 and March 15, 2015 based on the Timken PRSU Price for each Timken Common Share earned with respect to such 2012 Performance-Based RSU.

(E) The determination of whether any portion of a 2013 Performance-Based RSU award has been earned will be made based upon the achievement of the applicable management objectives measured as of the Distribution Date, and prorated based on the percentage of the applicable performance period completed as of the Distribution Date. Such determination will be made by the Timken Compensation Committee in accordance with the applicable Timken LTIP. Notwithstanding any provision of the applicable award agreement, Timken will pay each such award held by a Bearings Employee or a Former Bearings Business Employee, and TimkenSteel will pay each such award held by a TimkenSteel Employee or a Former TimkenSteel Business Employee, in cash between January 1, 2016 and March 15, 2016 based on the Timken PRSU Price for each Timken Common Share earned with respect to such 2013 Performance-Based RSU. Timken and TimkenSteel will grant new performance-based restricted stock unit awards to their respective employees for the period from the Distribution Date through December 31, 2015.

(iii) Each holder of Timken Performance Shares will generally receive from TimkenSteel, as of the time of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, TimkenSteel Performance Shares determined in the same manner as for other shareholders of Timken Common Shares based on the Distribution Ratio, with the value of any fractional share paid to the holder in cash, less any applicable taxes, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (with such cash payment to be made by TimkenSteel to TimkenSteel

-30-

Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees on the Distribution Date and by Timken to all other holders, except to the extent such cash payment will result in adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A). Such TimkenSteel Performance Shares will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Performance Shares to which they relate (including the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid on TimkenSteel Common Shares). Each Timken Performance Share will continue to be one Bearings Performance Share which will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Timken Performance Shares to which it relates.

(b) In the event a change in control (as defined in the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement) occurs with respect to Timken, then (i) any accelerated vesting and/or exercisability applicable to Bearings Equity Compensation Awards held by Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees shall apply to the TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards then held by such individuals, and (ii) all Bearings Equity Compensation Awards then held by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees shall fully vest (and, to the extent applicable, become exercisable). In the event a change in control (as defined in the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement) occurs with respect to TimkenSteel, then (i) any accelerated vesting and/or exercisability applicable to TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards held by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees shall apply to the Bearings Equity Compensation Awards then held by such individuals, and (ii) all TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards then held by Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees shall fully vest (and, to the extent applicable, become exercisable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.1(b) will not apply to the extent that it would cause adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A.

(c) Prior to the Distribution Date, TimkenSteel will establish equity compensation plans, so that upon the Distribution, TimkenSteel will have in effect an equity compensation plan that allows grants of equity compensation awards subject to substantially the same terms as those that apply to the corresponding Timken Equity Compensation Awards. From and after the Distribution Date, each TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Award will be subject to the terms of the applicable TimkenSteel equity compensation plan, the award agreement governing such TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Award and any Employment Agreement to which the applicable holder is a party. From and after the Distribution Date, TimkenSteel will retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards. Timken will retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Bearings Equity Compensation Awards.

(d) In all events, the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.1 will be made in a manner that, as determined by Timken, avoids adverse Tax consequences to holders under Code Section 409A.

Section 10.2 Conformity with Non-U.S. Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) to the extent any of the provisions in this Article X (or any equity award described herein) do not conform with applicable non-U.S. laws (including provisions for the collection of withholding taxes), such provisions shall be modified to the extent necessary to conform with such non-U.S. laws in such manner as is equitable and to preserve the intent hereof, as determined by the parties in good faith, and (ii) the provisions of this Article X may be modified to the extent necessary to avoid undue cost or administrative burden arising out of the application of this Article X to awards subject to non-U.S. laws.

Section 10.3 Tax Withholding and Reporting.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable non-U.S. law, the appropriate member of the Bearings Group will be responsible for all payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Bearings Equity Compensation Awards and TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards held by Bearings Employees and Former Bearings Business Employees. Except as otherwise required by applicable non-U.S. law, the appropriate member of the TimkenSteel Group will be responsible for all payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Bearings Equity Compensation Awards and TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards held by TimkenSteel Employees and Former TimkenSteel Business Employees.

(c) Tax deductions with respect to Bearings Equity Compensation Awards and TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards will be allocated in accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement, dated June 30, 2014, by and between The Timken Company and TimkenSteel Corporation.

Section 10.4 Employment Treatment.

(a) Continuous employment with the TimkenSteel Group and the Bearings Group following the Distribution Date will be deemed to be continuing service for purposes of vesting and exercisability for the TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards and the Bearings Equity Compensation Awards. However, in the event that a TimkenSteel Employee terminates employment after the Distribution Date and becomes employed by the Bearings Group, for purposes of Article X, the TimkenSteel Employee will be deemed terminated and the terms and conditions of the applicable performance incentive plan under which grants were made will apply. Similarly, in the event that a Bearings Employee terminates employment after the Distribution Date and becomes employed by the TimkenSteel Group, for purposes of Article X, the Bearings Employee

-32-

will be deemed terminated and the terms and conditions of the performance incentive plan under which grants were made will apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Article X only, if an individual is a Delayed Transfer Employee, such individual will not be considered to have terminated on his or her Applicable Transfer Date. In addition, a non-employee member of the board of directors of Timken or TimkenSteel will be treated in a similar manner to that described in this Section 10.4(a).

(b) If, after the Distribution Date, Timken or TimkenSteel identifies an administrative error in the individuals identified as holding Bearings Equity Compensation Awards and TimkenSteel Equity Compensation Awards, the amount of such awards so held, the vesting level of such awards, or any other similar error, Timken and TimkenSteel will mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to place, as nearly as reasonably practicable, the individual and Timken and TimkenSteel in the position in which they would have been had the error not occurred.

Section 10.5 Payment of Option Exercise Prices. Upon the exercise of a Bearings Option or a TimkenSteel Option, the exercise price of such stock option will be remitted in cash by the option administrator to the issuer of the option (the appropriate member of the Bearings Group or the TimkenSteel Group, as applicable) and the applicable withholding taxes will be remitted in cash by the option administrator to the entity (the appropriate member of the Bearings Group or the TimkenSteel Group, as applicable) responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to the option pursuant to Section 10.3. Upon vesting or payment, as applicable, of restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares or deferred shares, the applicable withholding will be remitted in cash by the administrator to the entity (the appropriate member of the Bearings Group or the TimkenSteel Group, as applicable) responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to such awards pursuant to Section 10.3. To the extent necessary to provide the withholding amount in cash to the entity responsible for payroll taxes, withholding, and reporting, the issuer of the applicable award will provide the withholding amount in cash.
