To the extent that the terms of the Plan conflict with the terms of this Supplement, the terms of this Supplement shall control.

3.    Distributions From Retirement Accounts A, B and C: 

3.1    General Rules: The following rules shall apply to distributions from Retirement Accounts A, B and C:

		
	a.
	Disability: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service on account of his or her Disability, the balances of Retirement Accounts A, B and C shall be aggregated and distributed in the form of a lump-sum as of the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows the date of such separation (in accordance with provisions of Section 6.6 of the Plan). 

		
	b.

- 2 -

		
	a.
	Such election shall apply, if at all, only in the event a Participant shall Separate From Service before Retirement (other than on account of death or Disability).

	c.
	For avoidance of doubt, a Participant may make a separate Modified Payment Election, or no such election, in respect of each of Retirement Account A, B or C.

	b.
	The amount of any preretirement death benefit payable hereunder shall be the greater of (i) the amount specified on Annex 1 as a preretirement benefit; or (ii) the aggregate amount credited to his or her Retirement Accounts A and B as of the date of his or her death. 

		
	c.
	The preretirement death benefit shall be paid in the form of 180 monthly payments commencing as of the first day of the month following the date of a Participant’s death. 

		
	d.
	If the amount of a Participant’s preretirement death benefit is determined under Annex 1 hereto, such Participant shall forfeit to the Bank the amounts credited to his or her Retirement Accounts A and B.

4.1    General Distribution Rules: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following rules shall apply to the distribution of Retirement Account D:

	b.
	Death Before Retirement: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service on account of his or her death, the provisions of his or her Payment Election - D (as defined in paragraph 4.2 hereof) shall be given effect. If no Payment Election - D is then in effect, such adjusted balance shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in the form of five annual installment payments.  Payment hereunder 

- 3 -

shall be made or commence as of the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows such Participant’s date of death, unless a later commencement date is allowable under paragraph 5 hereof.
 
		
	c.
	Other Separation: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service for any other reason, including his or her Retirement, the balance of Retirement Account D shall be paid in the manner determined in accordance with his or her Payment Election – D; in the event no such election is then in effect, his or her balance shall be paid in the form of a lump-sum.  Payment hereunder shall be made or commence on the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows the first day of the seventh calendar month following the Participant’s Separation From Service.  If such Participant shall thereafter die, his or her remaining installment payments, if any, shall continue to be paid to his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries after the date of his or her death.  

4.2    Payment Elections. Each Participant in the Plan shall, prior to the Effective Date, enter into and deliver to the Administrator an election applicable to Retirement Account D, providing for payment in the form of a lump-sum or substantially equal annual installment payments over a period not in excess of 15 years (‘Payment Election - D’).  Each Participant admitted to the Plan after the Effective Date shall make a Payment Election - D in respect of the distribution of Retirement Account D at the time set forth in the Plan.  If no Payment Election - D is timely made, a Participant’s Retirement Account D shall be distributed as provided in paragraph 4.1 hereof. 

For avoidance of doubt: (a) a newly-eligible Employee shall first be admitted to the Plan and enter into a Payment Election – D as of the first day of the calendar year that coincides with or immediately follows the date on which he or she becomes eligible to participate herein; and (b) a newly-hired Employee shall first be admitted to the Plan and enter into a Payment Election – D no later than 30 days following the date on which he or she is employed and first performs service for the Employer. 

Any election made hereunder (including a deemed election to receive a lump-sum or five annual installments, as the case may be) may be modified, from time to time, in accordance with the rules and procedures applicable to Modified Payment Elections set forth in paragraph 3.2 hereof (but disregarding subsection a thereof). 

4.3    Payment Dates.   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the ‘Payment Date’ applicable to Retirement Account D shall be those dates specified in Section 1.22 of the Plan, subject to the delay for ‘specified employees’ required under Section 10.23 of the Plan; provided that commencing as of the calendar year following the year in which the distribution of a Participant’s Retirement Account D begins and in each succeeding year, such date shall be January 1st. For avoidance of doubt, for years after the year in which the distribution of a Participant’s Retirement Account D begins, nothing contained herein shall require the Administrator to make payment other than on May 15th or November 15th, as the case may be, unless the Administrator shall determine, in its discretion, that is it administratively feasible to do so.  

5.    Payments on Account of the Death of a Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event a Participant shall die, any lump-sum in respect thereof shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant’s date of death shall occur (or at any time prior to such date). In the event payment is to be made in the form of installments, the first and second such installments shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant’s date of death shall occur (or at any time prior to such date), and the remaining installments shall be made in at the time or times otherwise prescribed hereunder.  A Beneficiary or Beneficiaries may, subject to the limitations set 

- 4 -

forth herein, designate the date on which payment is made or payments commence; if no such designation is made, the Administrator may make such designation” 

THIS AMENDMENT, providing for the adoption of this Supplement No. 2, was approved by the Board of Directors of Renasant Bank on December 20, 2016, is dated as of December 22, 2016, and is to be effective as provided herein.

2.    Maintenance of Accounts: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a maximum of four Accounts shall be maintained for each Participant herein:

		
	a.
	An Account credited with Deferrals made on or before December 31, 1988, including earnings on such amounts (‘Retirement Account A’); 

		
	b.
	An Account credited with Deferrals made between January 1, 1989, and December 31, 2004, including earnings on such amounts (‘Retirement Account B’);

3.    Administration of and Distributions From Retirement Accounts A and B:  

3.1    Distributions: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Supplement to the contrary, Retirement Accounts A and B shall be distributed at the time or times and in the manner determined under the terms of that certain Directors’ Deferred Fee Plan – A of The Peoples Bank & Trust Company, dated as of December 31, 1985, and that certain Directors’ Deferred Fee Plan – B of The Peoples Bank & Trust Company, dated as of January 1, 1989 (collectively, the ‘Predecessor Plans’). 

3.2    Preretirement Death Benefit: Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3.1 hereof to the contrary, if a Participant for whom Retirement Account A and/or B is maintained shall die while in service as a member of the Board of Directors, then in accordance with the terms of the Predecessor Plans: 

		
	a.
	Payment of a preretirement benefit shall be made hereunder, provided such Participant has made Deferrals in an amount not less than the ‘Annual Deferral Amount’ specified on Annex 1 hereto during the period commencing as of January 1, 2005, and ending as of the date of his or her death and no such deferrals have been earmarked for in-service payment (for avoidance of doubt, Deferrals made on or after January 1, 2005, shall be credited to Retirement Accounts C or D, as the case may be).

		
	b.
	His or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall receive a preretirement death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) the ‘Preretirement Benefit’ specified on Annex 1 hereto; or (ii) the amount credited to his or her Retirement Accounts A and B and SubAccount C-1 (as defined below) as of the date of his or her death.

	 d.
	Other Separation: Unless a Modified Payment Election (as defined in paragraph 4.2 hereof) is then in effect, if a Participant Separates From Service as a member of the Board of Directors before his or her Retirement (other than on account of death or Disability), the balance of Retirement Account C shall be distributed in the form of a lump-sum on the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows such separation (in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan).

	b.
	With respect to a Modified Payment Election hereunder: (i) each such election shall be made and delivered to the Administrator not less than 12 months prior to such Participant’s Separation From Service; and (ii) payments thereunder shall commence on the Payment Date that is at least five years after such Participant’s Separation From Service. 

- 3 -

		
	c.
	If a Participant dies while receiving installment payments under a Modified Payment Election, the remaining installment payments, if any, shall continue to be paid to his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. 

5.    Distributions From Retirement Account D:  

5.1    General Distribution Rules: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following rules shall apply to the distribution of Retirement Account D: 

		
	a.
	Disability: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service as a member of the Board of Directors on account of his or her Disability, Retirement Account D shall be distributed in the form of a lump-sum as of the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows the date of such Disability. 

		
	b.
	Death Before Separation: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service as a member of the Board of Directors on account of his or her death, the provisions of his or her Payment Election - D (as defined in paragraph 5.2 hereof) shall be given effect. If no Payment Election - D is then in effect, Retirement Account D shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in the form of five annual installment payments.  Payment hereunder shall be made or commence as of the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows such Participant’s date of death, unless a later commencement date is allowable under paragraph 6 hereof.

 
		
	c.
	Other Separation: In the event a Participant shall Separate From Service as a member of the Board of Directors for any other reason, including his or her Retirement, the balance of Retirement Account D shall be paid in the manner determined in accordance with his or her timely made Payment Election – D; if no such timely election is then in effect, his or her balance shall be paid in the form of a lump-sum.  Payment hereunder shall be made or commence on the Payment Date that coincides with or immediately follows such Participant’s Separation From Service.  If such Participant shall thereafter die, his or her remaining installments, if any, shall be paid to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated by such Participant.

5.2    Payment Elections. Each Participant herein shall, prior to the Effective Date, enter into and deliver to the Administrator an election applicable to Retirement Account D, providing for payment in the form of a lump-sum or substantially equal annual installment payments over a period not in excess of 15 years (‘Payment Election - D’).  Each Participant admitted to the Plan after the Effective Date shall make a Payment Election - D in respect of the distribution of Retirement Account D at the time set forth in the Plan (for avoidance of doubt, newly-elected or newly–appointed directors shall be entitled to make such election during the 30-day period following their election or appointment).  If no Payment Election - D is timely made, a Participant’s Retirement Account D shall be distributed as provided in paragraph 5.1 hereof. 

Any election made hereunder (including a deemed election to receive a lump-sum or five annual installments, as the case may be) may be modified, from time to time, in accordance with the rules and procedures applicable to Modified Payment Elections set forth in paragraph 4.2 hereof (without regard to subparagraph a thereof). 

5.3    Payment Date.   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the ‘Payment Date’ applicable to Retirement Account D shall be those dates specified in Section 1.17 of the Plan; provided that commencing as of the calendar year following the year in which the distribution of a Participant’s Retirement Account D begins and in each succeeding year, such date shall be January 1st. For avoidance of doubt, for years after the distribution of a Participant’s 

- 4 -

Retirement Account D begins, nothing contained herein shall require the Administrator to make payment other than on May 15th or November 15th, as the case may be, unless the Administrator shall determine, in its discretion, that is it administratively feasible to do so. 

6.    Payments on Account of the Death of a Participant.
