ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS



11.1 PARTICIPANTS RIGHTS UNSECURED. The Plan at all times shall be entirely unfunded. The right of a Participant or his designated Beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim
against the general assets of the Company, and neither the Participant nor a designated Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company. All amounts credited to the Deferred Compensation Accounts of Participants
shall constitute general assets of the Company and may be disposed of by the Company at such time and for such purposes as it may deem appropriate.



11.2 NO GUARANTEE OF BENEFITS. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Company or any other person or entity that the assets of
the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder.



11.3 NO ENLARGEMENT OF RIGHTS. No Participant shall have any right to receive a distribution of contributions made under the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The establishment of this Plan shall not, and nothing
contained herein shall, be construed in any way to give any Participant the right to continued employment with the Company or the right to be retained as an independent contractor of the Company.



11.4 SPENDTHRIFT PROVISIONS. No interest of any person or entity in, or right
to receive a distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be
taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance, and claim in bankruptcy proceedings.



11.5 APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be construed and
administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.



11.6 INCAPACITY OF RECIPIENT. If any person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is deemed by the Company to be incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such payment, then, unless and until claim therefor shall
have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person, the Company may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any other person or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care
and maintenance of such person. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Company and the Plan therefor.



11.7 CORPORATE SUCCESSORS. The Plan shall not be automatically terminated by a transfer or sale of assets of the Company or
by the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other corporation or any other entity, but the Plan shall be continued after such sale, merger, or consolidation only if and to the extent that the transferee, purchaser, or successor
entity agrees to continue the Plan. In the event that the Plan is not continued by the transferee, purchaser, or successor, entity, then the Plan shall terminate subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

11.8 UNCLAIMED BENEFIT. Each Participant shall keep the Committee informed of his current address and the
current address of his designated Beneficiary. The Committee shall not be obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person. If the location of a Participant is not made known to the Committee within three (3) years after the date on which
payment of the Participants Deferred Compensation Account may first be made, payment may be made as though the Participant had died at the end of the three-year period. If, within one additional year after such three-year period has elapsed,
or, within three years after the actual death of a Participant, the Committee is unable to locate any designated Beneficiary of the Participant, then the Company shall have no further obligation to pay any benefit hereunder to such Participant or
designated Beneficiary and such benefit shall be irrevocably forfeited.



11.9 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, neither the Company nor any shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant,
or other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or the administration thereof.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has formally adopted this Plan as of the date and year first above written.
