SECTION 2. THE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
2.1 Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is intended to (a) provide incentives to certain officers, employees, directors, and other service providers of the Company and its Affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by certain officers, employees, directors, and other service providers by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the

Except as provided in the second paragraph of Section 2.4 below, the shares of Stock attributable to the nonvested, unpaid, unexercised, unconverted or otherwise unsettled portion of any Stock Incentive that is forfeited or cancelled or expires or terminates for any reason without becoming vested, paid, exercised, converted or otherwise settled in full and shares of stock deducted or withheld to satisfy tax withholding (other than shares of Stock that are withheld from a Stock Award upon vesting) will again be available for purposes of the Plan.
2.3 Administration of the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Committee.

(f) After the date of grant of a Stock Incentive, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the terms and conditions of a Stock Incentive, except to the extent that such modification would be inconsistent with other provisions of the Plan or would materially adversely affect the rights of a Participant under the Stock Incentive (except as otherwise permitted under the Plan), or to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant under Code Section 409A.
3.2 Terms and Conditions of Options. Each Option granted under the Plan must be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement. At the time any Option is granted, the Committee will determine whether the Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option described in Code Section 422
6
or a Non-Qualified Stock Option, and the Option must be clearly identified as to its status as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent. At the time any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan is exercised, the Company will be entitled to legend the certificates representing the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the Option to clearly identify them as representing the shares purchased upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option may only be granted within ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted or approved by the Companys stockholders.
(a) Option Price. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.2 and the other provisions of this Section 3.2, the exercise price (the Exercise Price) of the Option shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock on the date the Option is granted. With respect to each grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a Participant who is an Over 10% Owner, the Exercise Price may not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.
(b) Option Term. Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who is not an Over 10% Owner is not exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted. Any Incentive Stock Option granted to an Over 10% Owner is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the date the Option is granted. The term of any Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be as specified in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement.
(c) Payment. Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Incentive Agreement, payment of the Exercise Price will be made in cash or in other consideration acceptable to the Committee. No shares may be issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option and the holder of the Option shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock covered thereby until full payment has been made.
(d) Conditions to the Exercise of an Option. Each Option granted under the Plan is exercisable on the terms specified in the award and set forth in the Stock Incentive Agreement. Subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may modify the terms of an Option to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, accelerating the time or times at which such Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that however, that the Committee may not modify an Option in a manner that would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant under Code Section 409A.
(e) Termination of Stock Options. The termination of the right to exercise an Option shall be specified in the respective Stock Incentive Agreement for a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

For purposes of this Subsection (e), Termination of Employment of the
7
Participant will not be deemed to have occurred if the Participant is employed by another corporation (or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such other corporation) which has assumed the Incentive Stock Option of the Participant in a transaction to which Code Section 424(a) is applicable.
(f) Special Provisions for Certain Substitute Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, any Option issued in substitution for an option previously issued by another entity, which substitution occurs in connection with a transaction to which Code Section 424(a) is applicable, may provide for an exercise price computed in accordance with such Code Section and the regulations thereunder and may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe to cause such substitute Option to contain as nearly as possible the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting and termination provisions) as those contained in the previously issued option being replaced thereby.
3.3 Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan must be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right entitles the Participant to receive the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of a specified or determinable number of shares of the Stock at the time of payment or exercise over (2) a specified or determinable price which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a Stock Incentive may only be exercised to the extent that the related Stock Incentive has not been exercised, paid or otherwise settled.

Upon settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Company must pay to the Participant the appreciation in cash or shares of Stock (valued at the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of payment or exercise) as provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement or, in the absence of such provision, as the Committee may determine.
(b) Conditions to Exercise. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan is exercisable or payable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Committee specifies in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Stock Appreciation Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised or paid in whole or in part.
3.4 Terms and Conditions of Stock Awards. The number of shares of Stock subject to a Stock Award and restrictions or conditions on such shares, if any, will be as the Committee determines, and the certificate for such shares will bear evidence of any restrictions or conditions. Subsequent to the date of the grant of the Stock Award, the Committee has the power to permit, in its discretion, an acceleration of the expiration of an applicable restriction period with respect to any part or all of the shares awarded to a Participant. The Committee may require a cash payment from the Participant in an amount no greater than the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock awarded determined at the date of grant in exchange for the grant of a Stock Award or may grant a Stock Award without the requirement of a cash payment.
8
3.5 Terms and Conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights. A Dividend Equivalent Right entitles the Participant to receive payments from the Company in an amount determined by reference to any cash dividends paid on a specified number of shares of Stock to Company stockholders of record during the period such rights are effective. The Committee may impose such restrictions and conditions on any Dividend Equivalent Right as the Committee in its discretion shall determine, including the date any such right shall terminate and may reserve the right to terminate, amend or suspend any such right at any time.
(a) Payment. Payment in respect of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be made by the Company in cash or shares of Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date payment is owed) as provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Committee may determine.
(b) Conditions to Payment. Each Dividend Equivalent Right granted under the Plan is payable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Committee specifies in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Dividend Equivalent Right, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Dividend Equivalent Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant under Code Section 409A.
3.6 Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Awards. A Performance Unit Award shall entitle the Participant to receive, at a specified future date, payment of an amount equal to all or a portion of the value of a specified or determinable number of units (stated in terms of a designated or determinable dollar amount per unit) granted by the Committee. At the time of the grant, the Committee must determine the base value, of each unit, the number of units subject to a Performance Unit Award, and the performance goals applicable to the determination of the ultimate payment value of the Performance Unit Award. The Committee may provide for an alternate base value for each unit under certain specified conditions.
(a) Payment. Payment in respect of Performance Unit Awards may be made by the Company in cash or shares of Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date payment is owed) as provided in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program or, in the absence of such provision, as the Committee may determine.
(b) Conditions to Payment. Each Performance Unit Award granted under the Plan shall be payable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Committee may specify in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Performance Unit Award, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Performance Unit Award, may accelerate the time or times at which such Performance Unit Award may be paid in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant under Code Section 409A.
9
3.7 Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units shall entitle the Participant to receive, at a specified future date or event, payment of an amount equal to all or a portion of the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Stock at the end of a specified period. At the time of the grant, the Committee will determine the factors which will govern the portion of the Restricted Stock Units so payable, including, at the discretion of the Committee, any performance criteria that must be satisfied as a condition to payment. Restricted Stock Unit awards containing performance criteria may be designated as performance share awards.
(a) Payment. Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units may be made by the Company in cash or shares of Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date payment is owed) as provided in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Committee may determine.
(b) Conditions to Payment. Each Restricted Stock Unit granted under the Plan is payable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Committee may specify in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Restricted Stock Unit, may accelerate the time or times at which such Restricted Stock Unit may be paid in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant under Code Section 409A.
3.8 Treatment of Awards Upon Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided by Plan Section 3.2(e), any award under this Plan to a Participant who has experienced a Termination of Employment or termination of some other service relationship with the Company and its Affiliates may be cancelled, accelerated, paid or continued, as provided in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program, or, as the Committee may otherwise determine to the extent not prohibited by the Plan. The portion of any award exercisable in the event of continuation or the amount of any payment due under a continued award may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect the Participants period of service from the date of grant through the date of the Participants Termination of Employment or other service relationship or such other factors as the Committee determines are relevant to its decision to continue the award.

4.2 Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant does not have the right to make or permit to exist any disposition of the shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Plan except as provided in the Plan or the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement or Stock Incentive Program.

5.2 Changes in Capitalization; Merger; Liquidation.
(a) Adjustments to Shares. The number and kind of shares of Stock with respect to which Stock Incentives hereunder may be granted (both overall and individual limitations) and which are the subject of outstanding Stock Incentives, and the maximum number and exercise thereof, shall be adjusted as the Committee determines (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate, in the event that:

provided, however, that if such an event occurs, the Committee shall make adjustments to the limits on Stock Incentives specified in Section 2.2 that are proportionate to the modifications of the Stock that are on account of such corporate changes. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another person, or the sale of all or substantially all the Companys assets to another person, shall be effected such that holders of Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other property (including, without limitation, cash) with respect to or in exchange for Stock, then each holder of a Stock Incentive shall thereafter have the right to acquire in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein and in the Stock Incentive Agreement such shares of stock,

securities or other property (including, without limitation, cash) as would be issuable or payable in such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale with respect to or in exchange for a number of shares of Stock that could have been acquired immediately theretofore with respect to such Stock Incentive had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, subject to such adjustments as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be appropriate.
(b) Substitution of Stock Incentives on Merger or Acquisition. The Committee may grant Stock Incentives in substitution for stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar awards held by an individual who becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies. The terms of such substituted Stock Incentives shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject only to the limitations of Section 2.2.
(c) Effect of Certain Transactions. Unless expressly provided to the contrary in an applicable Stock Incentive Agreement, if the Company experiences an event which results in a Change in Control (as defined below), the Committee shall in its sole discretion provide for one of the following measures with respect to outstanding Awards:

Executive shall have the right to appear and defend himself at any meeting of the Board at which such a resolution is under consideration.
(d) Change in Control. A Change in Control means a transaction or circumstance in which any of the following have occurred, provided that the Board of Directors shall have determined that any such transaction or circumstance has resulted in a Change in Control, as defined in this paragraph, which determination shall be made in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1. 409A-3(i)(5):
(1) the date that any person, or persons acting as a group, as described in Treas.

(2) the merger, acquisition or consolidation of the Company or the Bank with any corporation pursuant to which the other corporation immediately after such merger, acquisition or consolidation owns more than 50% of the voting securities (defined as any securities which vote generally in the election of its directors) of the Company or the Bank, as applicable, outstanding immediately prior thereto or more than 50% of the Companys or the Banks, as applicable, total fair market value immediately prior thereto; or
13
(3) the date that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company before the date of the appointment or election.
(e) The existence of the Plan and the Stock Incentives granted pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.
5.3 Cash Awards. The Committee may, at any time and in its discretion, grant to any holder of a Stock Incentive the right to receive, at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Committee in its discretion, a cash amount which is intended to reimburse such person for all or a portion of the federal, state and local income taxes imposed upon such person as a consequence of the receipt of the Stock Incentive or the exercise of rights thereunder.
5.4 Compliance with Code. All Incentive Stock Options to be granted hereunder are intended to comply with Code Section 422, and all provisions of the Plan and all Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder must be construed in such manner as to effectuate that intent.
5.5 Right to Terminate Employment or Service; No Shareholder Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Incentive Agreement confers upon any Participant the right to continue as an officer, employee, director, or consultant of the Company or any of its Affiliates or affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Participants employment or services at any time. The holder of a Stock Option or a Stock Incentive Agreement has, as such, none of the rights of a stockholder.
5.6 Non-Alienation of Benefits. Other than as provided herein, no benefit under the Plan may be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit may, prior to receipt by the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant.
5.7 Restrictions on Delivery and Sale of Shares; Legends. Each Stock Incentive is subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered by such Stock Incentive upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the granting of such Stock Incentive or the purchase or delivery of shares thereunder, the delivery of any or all shares pursuant to such Stock Incentive may be withheld unless and until such listing, registration or qualification shall have been effected. If a registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities laws with respect to the shares of Stock purchasable or otherwise deliverable under Stock Incentives then outstanding, the Committee may require, as a condition of exercise of any Option or as a condition to any other delivery of Stock pursuant to a Stock Incentive, that the
14
Participant or other recipient of a Stock Incentive represent, in writing, that the shares received pursuant to the Stock Incentive are being acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution and agree that the shares will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel that such disposition is exempt from such requirement under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws. The Company may include on certificates representing shares delivered pursuant to a Stock Incentive such legends referring to the foregoing representations or restrictions or any other applicable restrictions on resale as the Company, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate.
5.8 Listing and Legal Compliance. The Committee may suspend the exercise or payment of any Stock Incentive so long as it determines that securities exchange listing or registration or qualification under any securities laws is required in connection therewith and has not been completed on terms acceptable to the Committee.
5.9 Termination and Amendment of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, an amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights of a Participant under an outstanding Stock Incentive is not valid with respect to such Stock Incentive without the Participants consent, except as necessary for Stock Incentives to satisfy the conditions imposed under the Code; and provided, further, that the stockholders of the Company must approve, in general meeting:
(a) 12 months before or after the date of adoption, any amendment that increases the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under Incentive Stock Options or changes the employees (or class of employees) eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options;
(b) before the effective date thereof, any amendment that increases the number of shares in the aggregate which may be issued pursuant to Stock Incentives granted under the Plan or the maximum number of shares with respect to which any individual may receive options in any calendar year, or increases the period during which Stock Incentives may be granted or exercised; and
(c) any amendment that is subject to approval of shareholders under the rules of the exchange or trading system on which Stock becomes traded.
5.10 Incentive Stock Option Approval. Incentive Stock Options may be issued under this Plan for a period of ten years after the effective date of the Plan, provided that the stockholders of the Company approve the adoption of the Plan within twelve (12) months prior to or after the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company. If such approval is not obtained, any Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder will be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
5.11 Choice of Law. The laws of the State of Tennessee shall govern the Plan, to the extent not preempted by federal law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
15
