LUMINEX CORPORATION

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(2008 LTIP)

     THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
the 4th day of December, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), between Luminex Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, (together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”), and                                                              (the
“Grantee”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms in the Luminex Corporation 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”).

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the LTIP, which provides for the issuance of Performance
Awards under the Plan in the form of Restricted Share Units; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the LTIP, the Committee has granted a Performance Award of Restricted
Share Units to the Grantee as provided herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Restricted Share Units.

          (a) The Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award (the “Award”) of [MAX AMT SPECIFIED IN
PLAN] Restricted Share Units (the “RSUs”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and as otherwise provided in the LTIP.

          (b) The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award shall remain forfeitable at all times prior
to the dates on which the restrictions shall lapse in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

          (c) Upon the completion of the Performance Period set forth in the LTIP and the Committee’s
determination of the achievement of the performance targets set forth on Schedule A of the
LTIP (the “Determination Date”), the number of RSUs granted hereby shall be immediately reduced to
equal the number of Eligible Units determined in accordance with the LTIP and Grantee shall have no
further rights with respect to any RSUs in excess of the Eligible Units.

     2. Terms; Restricted Period.

          (a) Except as provided herein and subject to such other exceptions as may be determined by the
Committee in its discretion, the “Restricted Period” for fifty percent (50%) of the Eligible Units
granted herein shall immediately expire on the Determination Date; the Restricted Period for the
remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Eligible Units granted herein shall expire on the second
anniversary of the completion of the Performance Period.

          (b) No dividend equivalents shall be paid or payable with respect to the RSUs covered by this
Award. The Grantee shall not be entitled to voting rights with respect to the RSUs covered by
this Award.

          (c) None of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period as to such RSUs.

 

 

          (d) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant of the Award
hereunder, any RSUs as to which the applicable “Restricted Period” has not expired shall be
forfeited, and all rights of the Grantee to such Awards shall terminate, without further obligation
on the part of the Company, unless the Grantee remains in the continuous employment of the Company
or its Subsidiaries for the entire Restricted Period.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Period shall automatically terminate as to
all Eligible Units awarded hereunder (as to which such Restricted Period has not previously
terminated), upon the occurrence of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company (or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate) after the end of the Performance Period which results from any of the
following: (i) Grantee’s death or Disability (to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee); (ii) the involuntary termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company without Cause;
or (iii) Grantee ceases employment with the Company for Good Reason or by reason of Retirement.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the
Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Eligible Units by (i) applying the
performance criteria set forth in the LTIP using the effective date of the Change in Control as the
end of the Performance Period, and by appropriately and proportionately adjusting the performance
criteria for such shortened Performance Period, and (ii) multiplying the number of Units so
determined by .3333 if the Change in Control occurs in 2008, .6667 if the Change in Control occurs
in 2009, and 1 if the Change in Control occurs in 2010 (rounding the resulting number of Eligible
Units to the nearest whole number). Upon a Change in Control, the Restricted Period for any
Eligible Units awarded hereunder (as to which such Restricted Period has not previously terminated,
and including Eligible Units as a result of the application of the previous sentence) shall
automatically terminate.

     3. Termination of Restrictions. Settlement of an Eligible Unit shall be made within
30 days (with the date of payment selected by the Company in its sole discretion) of the
termination of the Restricted Period related to such Eligible Unit. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, any settlement of an RSU pursuant to this Award shall be made through the issuance to the
Grantee (or to the executors or administrators of Grantee’s estate, after the Company’s receipt of
notification of Grantee’s death, as the case may be) of a stock certificate for a number of Shares
equal to the number of the RSUs to be settled. Following receipt of such Shares, the Grantee may
receive, hold, sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares free and clear of the restrictions imposed
under the LTIP and this Agreement.

     4. Certain Payments upon a Change in Control. In the event that any settlement of
Eligible Units pursuant to this Agreement causes the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or
afforded to the Grantee under this Agreement, together with any other payments or benefits received
or to be received by the Grantee, in connection with a Change in Control (collectively, “Total
Change in Control Payments”) to exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the maximum amount
permitted under Section 280G of the Code to be received without incurring an excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (the “280G Maximum”), then the Company shall pay to Grantee an additional
amount, in cash, necessary to reimburse the Grantee on an after-tax basis, as described below, for
any excise tax payable by the Grantee under Section 4999 of the Code. If Total Change in Control
Payments, however, do not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the 280G Maximum, then, at the
election of the Grantee, (i) such payments or benefits shall be payable or provided to the Grantee
over the minimum period necessary to reduce the present value of such payments or benefits to an
amount which is one dollar ($1.00) less than the 280G Maximum or (ii) the payments or benefits to
be provided under this Agreement (or any other agreement or arrangement between the Grantee and the
Company) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid incurrence of the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code, with the allocation of the reduction among such payments and benefits to
be determined by the Grantee. For purposes of determining the amount of

2

 

any payment described in this Section 4, the Grantee shall be deemed to have been
reimbursed on an after-tax basis for any excise tax described herein if the Grantee has received
(a) the amount of such excise tax and (b) the amount of any taxes (including federal, state and
local income taxes as well as any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code) payable on account of
the reimbursement for such excise tax and any such income and excise taxes payable on account of
such reimbursement for income and excise taxes. In the event that the Grantee and the Company fail
to agree as to the amount described herein within fifteen (15) days following a Change in Control,
such amount will be determined by a firm of independent accountants (the cost of which shall be
born by the Company or its successor) mutually agreed upon by the Grantee and the Company within
thirty (30) days following the Change in Control. The Company shall reimburse the Grantee for any
additional income and/or excise taxes (and any penalties and interest thereon) as may be determined
to be payable by any taxing authority in respect of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of
the Code and any reimbursement described herein. The payment described in this paragraph shall be
payable on the thirtieth day following the Change in Control, or as soon thereafter as is
practicable if an accounting firm is determining the amount. For the avoidance of doubt, Grantee
shall be entitled to an additional payment as described in this Section 4 if and only if
(i) the Restricted Period of any RSUs terminates pursuant to Section 2(f) or otherwise in
connection with a Change in Control, or (ii) any RSUs become Eligible Units pursuant to Section
2(f).

     5. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving
Grantee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company of its Subsidiaries, and the Company
or its Subsidiaries may at any time dismiss Grantee from employment, free from any liability or any
claim under the LTIP but subject to the terms of the Grantee’s Employment Agreement, if any.

     6. Adjustments. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of,
and the criteria included in, this Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events
(including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan) affecting
the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable laws,
regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the LTIP.

     7. Amendment to Award. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan and the
LTIP, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter,
suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate the Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that
any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination
that would adversely affect the rights of the Grantee or any holder or beneficiary of the Award
shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary
affected.

     8. Withholding of Taxes. Upon the lapse of the Restricted Period and the issuance of
Shares with respect to any portion of this Award, the Company shall satisfy any applicable
withholding obligations or withholding taxes (“Withholding Taxes”) as set forth by Internal Revenue
Service guidelines for the employer’s minimum statutory withholding with respect to Grantee and
issue Shares to the Grantee without restriction. As a condition to receiving settlement of the
RSUs hereunder, the Company may require Grantee to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have
the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any payments hereunder or from any compensation
or other amount owing to Grantee, an amount of cash necessary for the Company to satisfy any
Withholding Taxes in respect of this Award. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may
satisfy the required Withholding Taxes by withholding from the Shares otherwise issuable pursuant
to settlement of the Award that number of whole Shares necessary to satisfy Withholding Taxes with
respect to such Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date the Restricted
Period ends.

3

 

     9. Plan and LTIP Govern. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
LTIP and the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of
this Agreement are governed by the terms of the LTIP and the Plan, and in the case of any
inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the LTIP and the Plan, the terms
of the LTIP and the Plan shall govern.

     10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or
would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot
be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering
the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.

     11. Notices. All notices required to be given under this Grant shall be deemed to be
received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein, to the parties at the following addresses,
or to such other address as either party may provide in writing from time to time.

     12. Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts
of laws principles.

     13. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted
to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors,
administrators and successors.

a result of, or in any way related to, the interpretation, construction or application of this
Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the Grantee and the Company for all purposes.

Exhibit 10.2

AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is made this                      day of                     , 2008, between Genesco Inc., a Tennessee
corporation (the “Company”), and                     , an officer of the Company (the “Officer”).

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Officer are aware of the increased exposure to litigation by
officers of publicly-owned companies in the course of exercising their duties;

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Officer are also aware of conditions in the insurance industry
that have affected the Company’s ability to obtain adequate directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance coverage on an economically acceptable basis;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to benefit from the services of highly-qualified and
experienced persons such as the Officer;

     WHEREAS, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (the “Act”) and the bylaws of the Company
provide for the indemnification of officers under certain circumstances;

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Officer recognize the potential inadequacy of the protection
available to officers under the Act, the Company’s bylaws and directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance; and

     WHEREAS, the Act and bylaws specifically provide that the indemnification provided thereunder
is not exclusive;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Service by Officer. The Officer agrees to continue to serve as an Officer
of the Company, provided that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Officer’s employment
protection agreement, the Officer or the Company may terminate the Officer’s employment at any time
and for any reason.

     Section 2. Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, subject to the
limitations contained in Section 4 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the
Officer against any Liability or Expense incurred in a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part
out of) an Indemnifiable Event, except that the Company shall not be required to indemnify the
Officer for any Liability or Expenses incurred in a Proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the
Officer or to which the Officer voluntarily becomes a party unless (i) the Company has joined in or
the board of directors has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is
one to enforce indemnification rights; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted after a Change in
Control. If the Officer is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by
the Company for some or a portion of any Liability or Expenses, but not, however, for the total
amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Officer for the portion thereof to
which the Officer is entitled.

 

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Officer has been
successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an
Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, the Officer shall be indemnified
against all Liabilities and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officer or on the
Officer’s behalf in connection therewith.

     Section 3. Expense Advances. If so requested by the Officer, the Company shall advance
the reasonable Expenses incurred by the Officer in a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part
out of) an Indemnifiable Event, except that the Company shall not be required to advance Expenses
to the Officer incurred in a Proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the Officer or to which the
Officer voluntarily becomes a party unless (i) the Company has joined in or the board of directors
has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is one to enforce
indemnification rights; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted after a Change in Control. Expense
advancements shall be provided within thirty (30) calendar days of the Officer furnishing the
Company a request of such advance or advances, and: (a) a written affirmation, personally signed
by or on behalf of the Officer, of his good faith belief that he conducted himself in good faith
and in the reasonable belief that his conduct was in the Company’s best interest if he was acting
in his official capacity, or in all other cases not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and in
the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and
(b) a written undertaking (in the form of an unlimited general obligation of the Officer, which
need not be secured), personally signed by or on behalf of the Officer to repay any advances, if a
judgment or final adjudication adverse to the Officer establishes his liability contrary to his
affirmation. Such advances are deemed to be an obligation of the Company to the Officer hereunder
and shall in no event be deemed a personal loan.

     Section 4. Limitations on Indemnification. No indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement may be made (a) in advance of a final disposition of the Proceeding for which
indemnification is sought, (b) for any Liability or Expenses for which the Officer has been
reimbursed by insurance or otherwise or (c) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the Officer establishes that he did not conduct himself in good faith and in the reasonable belief
that his conduct was in the Company’s best interest if he was acting in his official capacity, or
in all other cases not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful or his liability for
profits made from the purchase or sale by the Officer of securities of the Company pursuant to the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar
provisions of any federal or state statutes or regulations. A settlement without the Company’s
prior written consent shall not be deemed a final disposition, and no indemnification for any
amount paid in such a settlement may be made under this Agreement.

     Section 5. Non-Exclusive Rights. The Officer’s rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses under this Agreement are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of
other rights to which the Officer may be entitled under any insurance policy, the Act or bylaws of
the Company or a resolution of shareholders or directors providing for indemnification. The
Officer’s right to indemnification as provided in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement are intended
to be greater than those which are otherwise provided for in the Act and in excess of those
provided in the

 

 

Company’s bylaws, notwithstanding the Officer’s failure to meet the standard of conduct
required for permissive indemnification under the Act.

     Section 6. Liability Insurance. The Company currently has in force policies of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“Liability Insurance”). The Company agrees to
furnish to the Officer copies of such Liability Insurance policies upon his request. The Company
further agrees that, so long as the Officer shall continue to serve as an officer of the Company,
the Company will, subject to the limitations set forth below, endeavor to purchase and maintain in
force for the benefit of the Officer one or more policies of Liability Insurance providing coverage
at least comparable to that provided under the policies currently in force and in no event less
than that provided for the benefit of any other officer. The Company shall not be required to
maintain such Liability Insurance in force if, in the sole judgment of the board of directors of
the Company serving at the time such judgment is made, Liability Insurance is not reasonably
available, the cost of such insurance is disproportionate to the amount of the coverage or such
insurance is so limited that there is an insufficient benefit from such insurance.

     Section 7. Notification and Defense of Claim. If a claim is made against the Company
with respect to any Proceeding under this Agreement, the Officer shall notify the Company of the
commencement of such Proceeding promptly after receipt by the Officer of notice of the commencement
thereof. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which the Officer notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof, (i) the Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense
and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Officer. After notice from the Company to the Officer of
its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Officer under
this Agreement for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Officer in connection with the
defense thereof. The Officer shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption
of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Officer, unless (i) the employment of such
counsel by the Officer has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Officer shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Officer in the
conduct of his defense in such Proceeding or (iii) the Company shall have failed to promptly employ
its counsel to assume the defense in such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses
of the Officer’s counsel shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume
the defense in any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company as to which the Officer shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the
Officer in the conduct of his defense.

     Section 8. Settlement. The Company shall not settle any claim in any manner which
would impose any penalty or any injunctive relief restricting the activities of the Officer without
the Officer’s written consent. The Officer shall not unreasonably withhold his consent to any
proposed settlement which does not impose a fine or injunctive relief, if the Company pays all
amounts due under such settlement immediately upon such settlement becoming effective.

     Section 9. Cooperation of Officer. The Officer shall cooperate with the person or
persons making the determination on behalf of the Company with respect to the Officer’s entitlement

 

 

to indemnification under this Agreement, including providing any documentation or information
which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to
the Officer and relevant to such determination.

     Section 10. Certain Presumptions and Burden of Proof. If the person or persons
making such determination on behalf of the Company with respect to the Officer’s entitlement to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall not have reached a decision within sixty (60) days
after receipt by the Company of the Officer’s request therefor, the Officer shall be deemed to be
entitled thereto; provided, however, such sixty-day period may be extended for a reasonable time,
not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person or persons making the determination
decide in good faith that additional time is required for obtaining or evaluating documentation or
other relevant information. In any suit by the Officer to enforce his rights under this Agreement,
(i) the Officer shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification, subject to the Company’s
ability to rebut such presumption, and (ii) the termination of a proceeding by a judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself,
determinative that the Officer did not act in good faith, did not meet a particular standard of
conduct, did not have any particular belief, or that a court has determined that indemnification is
not permitted by applicable law. For purposes of any determination of good faith, the Officer
shall be presumed to have acted in good faith, if he relied on information, opinions, reports or
statements, including financial statements or other financial data prepared or presented by one or
more officers or employees of the Company whom the Officer reasonably believes to be reliable and
competent in the matters presented or by legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to
matters the Officer reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence;
provided, however, the Officer shall not be presumed to be acting in good faith, if he has actual
knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes such reliance unwarranted. An officer’s
conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believes to be in the
interest of the participants in, and beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct not opposed to the
Company’s best interests.

     Section 11. Letter of Credit. Unless to do so would constitute a breach of any loan
agreement or indenture or any other material agreement binding on the Company, upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control of the Company, the Company, upon written request of an Officer then
involved in a Proceeding, shall obtain an irrevocable standby letter of credit naming the Officer
as the sole beneficiary in an appropriate amount to cover the estimated Expenses of fully
contesting such Proceeding which are to be advanced to the Officer hereunder, but not less than
$500,000, issued by a bank or other financial institution having assets in excess of $100,000,000
and containing terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Officer (the “Letter of
Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall provide that the Officer may from time to time draw amounts
thereunder to pay such Expenses as incurred upon presentation to the issuer thereof of (i) copies
of the Officer’s written affirmations and written undertaking and the written opinion of his
counsel required under Section 3 above and (ii) a written certification personally signed by or on
behalf of the Officer that the Officer has made demand upon the Company for the amount he is
seeking under the Letter of Credit and that the Company has refused to pay such amount to the
Officer and that the Officer believes in good faith that he is entitled to such amount under the
terms of this Agreement. Once the Company has obtained the Letter of Credit required by this
Section 11, the Company shall renew the Letter of Credit or

 

 

obtain a substitute letter of credit meeting the criteria specified above so that the Letter of
Credit shall always have at least one year of its term remaining.

     Section 12. Contribution. If full indemnification as provided in Section 2 hereof
may not be paid to the Officer because such indemnification is prohibited by law, then in any
Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the Officer (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding) the Company shall contribute to the amount of Liability and Expenses incurred by the
Officer for which indemnification is not available in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
(i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Officer on the other hand
from any transaction from which such Proceeding arose and (ii) the relative fault of the Company
and the Officer, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     Section 13. Securities Act Liabilities. The Officer understands and agrees that with
respect to certain liabilities incurred under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company’s obligations
hereunder may be subject to undertakings contained in various registration statements filed by it
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as those undertakings relate to the possible need for court
review of indemnification for such liabilities.

     Section 14. Subrogation. The Company shall be subrogated to the extent of any
payment to the Officer under this Agreement to all of the rights of recovery of the Officer with
respect to such payments against third parties (including, without limitation, the insurer under
any Liability Insurance policy, if applicable). The Officer shall do everything reasonably
necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary or
desirable to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     Section 15. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in effect during
the period Officer is an officer of the Company and shall continue until the final disposition of
all Proceedings for Indemnifiable Events, whether or not such Proceedings are instituted prior to
Officer ceasing to serve as an officer of the Company.

     Section 16. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of
action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the Company against the
Officer, the Officer’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the
expiration of two year from the date of accrual of such cause of action, or such longer period as
may be required by state law under the circumstances. Any claim or cause of action of the Company
or its affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing and
notice of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of
limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, the short period shall govern.

     Section 17. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Officer each irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Tennessee for all purposes in connection
with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any
action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the courts of the State of
Tennessee.

 

 

     Section 18. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the
event any of the provisions hereof are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law and, to the fullest extent possible, shall be construed so as to
give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     Section 19. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand and
receipted for by the party to whom such notice or other communication shall have been directed or
if mailed by certified registered mail with postage prepaid or if delivered by a private express
package or similar service providing receipt against delivery. All such notices and other
communications shall be deemed received on the earlier of actual receipt or the third business day
after the date on which it is so delivered or mailed:

     If to the Officer to:
