This Second Amendment to the Salary Continuation Agreement (Fourth Amendment) is entered into the 1st day of January, 2018 (Effective Date) by and among U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. and Max L. Fuller (collectively referred to as the Parties).
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2008, U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Max L.

Fullers surviving spouse upon his death (the Agreement); and
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2012, U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. and Max L. Fuller entered into an Amendment to the Salary Continuation Agreement which reduced the salary continuation benefits from ten to four years (the First Amendment); and
WHEREAS the Parties now wish to further amend the Agreement to restore the salary continuation and other benefits upon the death or disability of Max L. Fuller to the same level as existed under the original Agreement prior to any amendments;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree to amend the Salary Continuation Agreement as follows:
1. Salary Continuation.
A. On Death. If the Employee dies, the Company shall pay the Employees surviving spouse One Hundred Percent (100%) of his base salary, as it existed at the time of his death, until the fifth anniversary of his death. From the fifth anniversary of his death through the seventh anniversary of his death, the Company shall pay the Employees surviving spouse Fifty Percent (50%) of his base salary, as it existed at the time of his death. From the seventh anniversary of his death through the tenth anniversary of his death, the Company shall pay the Employees surviving spouse Twenty-five Percent (25%) of his base salary, as it existed at the time of his death. If there is no surviving spouse, the Company has no obligation to pay the Employees estate any salary continuation or other benefits hereunder.
B. On Disability. If the Employee becomes disabled, the Company shall pay the Employee One Hundred Percent (100%) of his base salary, as it existed at the onset of his death, until the fifth anniversary of his disability.
