ELECTION TO DEFER

2.1 A Director may elect, on or before December 31 of any Year, to defer payment of all or a specified part of all Fees earned during the Year following such election. Any person who shall become a Director during any Year, and who was not a Director of the

2.3 The election is irrevocable with respect to the Year to which it relates upon the submission of such election to the Secretary of the Company. The election first submitted by a Director shall remain effective with respect to Fees earned during subsequent Years, unless the Director terminates it by written request delivered to the Secretary of the Company prior to the commencement of the Year for which the termination is first effective.

ARTICLE III
DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS

3.1 The Company shall maintain separate memorandum accounts for the Fees deferred by each Director. Each Director shall be fully vested at all times in any amounts credited to his Cash Account and Stock Account.

3.2 The Company shall credit, on the date Fees become payable, to the Cash Account of each Director the deferred portion of any Fees due the Director as to which an election to receive cash has been made. Fees deferred in the form of cash (and interest thereon) shall be held in the general funds of the Company.

3.3 On the first day of each quarter, the Company shall credit the Cash Account of each Director with interest calculated on the basis of the balance in such account on the first day of each month of the preceding quarter at the prime rate of interest then in effect at First Horizon National Bank, Memphis, Tennessee, or if no such rate shall be available, then such rate of interest as is then published in the Wall Street Journal as the prevailing prime rate of interest.

3.4 The Company shall credit the Stock Account of each Director who has elected to receive deferred compensation in the form of Common Stock with the number of shares of Common Stock equal in value to (i) the deferred portion of any Fees due the Director as to which an election to receive Common Stock has been made, divided by the Stock Value on the date such Fees otherwise would have been paid, (ii) any cash dividends (or the fair market value of dividends paid in property other than dividends payable in Common Stock) payable on the number of shares of Common Stock represented in each Director’s Stock Account, divided by the Stock Value on the date such cash dividends are paid, and (iii) any stock dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock represented in each Director’s Stock Account, equal in value to the Stock Value of such stock dividends on the date such stock dividends are paid. Credits that are made to each Director’s Stock Account pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made, with respect to any Fees, on the date that such Fees become payable and, with respect to any dividends, on the date that such dividends are paid on Common Stock. If adjustments are made to the outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of stock-splits, recapitalizations,

mergers, consolidations and the like, an appropriate adjustment also will be made in the number of shares of Common Stock credited to the Director’s Stock Account.

3.5 Common Stock shall be computed to three decimal places.

3.6 The right to receive Common Stock at a later date shall not entitle any person to rights of a stockholder with respect to such Common Stock unless and until shares of Common Stock have been issued to such person pursuant to Article IV hereof.

3.7 The Company shall not be required to acquire, reserve, segregate, or otherwise set aside shares of Common Stock for the payment of its obligations under the Plan, but shall make available as and when required a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to meet the needs of the Plan, provided that the Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock, and any fractional share amounts shall be paid in cash to the Director, at the time the shares of Common Stock are issued to such Director, based on the Stock Value of such Common Stock on the payment date.

3.8 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any fiduciary relationship. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE IV
PAYMENT OF DEFFERED COMPENSATION

4.1 Amounts credited to a Director’s Cash Account and Stock Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum to the Director on the date, if any, selected by the Director pursuant to the Director’s election (made pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 of Article II) (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter); provided, however, that if the Director has not selected a distribution date or the Director’s selected distribution date is after his retirement or separation from the Board, distribution shall be made in accordance with the following: (i) the amount credited to the Director’s Cash Account shall be distributed in the form of a single lump sum within thirty (30) days after commencement of the Year following the Director’s retirement or separation from the Board, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock credited to the Director’s Stock Account shall be distributed in the form of a single lump sum within the later of (a) thirty (30) days after commencement of the Year following the Director’s retirement or separation from the Board or (b) six (6) months after such event. Amounts credited to a Director’s Cash Account shall be paid in cash. Amounts credited to a Director’s Stock Account shall be paid in shares of Common Stock, subject to Paragraph 3.7 hereof.

Any payments made pursuant to this Paragraph 4.1 shall be subject to the distribution requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, if applicable, including, without limitation, the requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code that payment be delayed until six (6) months after separation from service if the Director is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of such separation from service.

4.2 Each Director shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who is to succeed to his right to receive payments hereunder in the event of death. Any designated beneficiary shall receive payments in the same manner as the Director if he had lived. In case of a failure of designation or the death of a designated beneficiary without a designated successor, the balance of the amounts contained in the Director’s Cash Account and/or Stock Account shall be payable in accordance with Paragraph 4.1 to the Director’s or former Directors’ estate in full within thirty (30) days after commencement of the Year following the Year in which he dies. No designation of beneficiary or change in beneficiary shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Director and filed with the Secretary of the Company.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION

5.1 The Company shall administer the Plan at its expense. The Company has the exclusive discretion and authority to construe and interpret the Plan, and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan and amount of benefits to be paid under the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Company shall be final and binding on all parties.

5.2 Except to the extent required by law, the right of any Director or any beneficiary to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Director or beneficiary; and any such benefit or payment shall not be subject to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance.

ARTICLE VI
AMENDMENT OF PLAN

6.1 The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated in whole or in part from time to time by the Board, except that no amendment, suspension, or termination shall apply to the payment to any Director or beneficiary of a deceased Director of any amounts previously credited to a Director’s Cash Account or Stock Account without such Director’s (or beneficiary’s, if applicable) express written consent.
