	6. 
	Stockholder Rights.

7. Changes in Capital Structure.  In accordance with and subject to the applicable terms of the Plan, the Options shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as determined by the Committee, as to the number, price or kind of Stock or other consideration subject to such Options or as otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date hereof or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Grantee.

(b) All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are acquired by another person; or
(c)The Company's reorganization or liquidation;

8. Requirements of Law.  
		
	8.1.
	By accepting the Options, Grantee represents and agrees for Grantee and any transferees (whether by will or the laws of descent and distribution) that, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to the shares purchased upon any exercise of the Options, (i) any and all Shares so purchased shall be acquired for his or her personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and (ii) each notice of the exercise of any portion of this Option shall be accompanied by a representation and warranty in writing, signed by the person entitled to exercise the same, that the shares are being so acquired in good faith for his or her personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution.

		
	8.2.
	No certificate or certificates for Shares may be purchased, issued or transferred if the exercise hereof or the issuance or transfer of such Shares shall constitute a violation by the Company or Grantee of any (i) provision of any Federal, state or other securities law, (ii) requirement of 

Stock Option Grant Agreement
Page 5

any securities exchange listing agreement to which the Company may be a party, or (iii) other requirement of law or of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.  Any reasonable determination in this connection by the Company, upon notice given to Grantee, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
		
	8.3.
	The certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Options shall carry such appropriate legend, and such written instructions shall be given to the Company's transfer agent, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

		
	9.
	Taxes.  Grantee understands that Grantee may recognize income for federal and, if applicable, state income tax purposes upon exercise of Options.  Grantee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of the exercise of this Option.  By accepting the Option, Grantee covenants to report such income in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.  To the extent that the exercise of the Options results in income to Grantee and withholding obligations of the Company, including federal or state withholding obligations, Grantee agrees that the Company shall retain and instruct a registered broker(s) to sell such number of Grantee's Shares necessary to satisfy the Company's withholding obligations, after deduction of the broker's commission, and the broker shall remit to the Company the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations.  Grantee covenants to execute any such documents as are requested by the broker of the Company in order to effectuate the sale of the Shares and payment of the tax obligations to the Company.  Grantee represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, Grantee is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Shares.  Grantee and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a "binding contract" relating to the sale of Shares pursuant to this Section, consistent with the affirmative defense to liability under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act under Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.** Grantee understands that the sale of Shares to satisfy tax or any withholding obligations will be considered a sale for purposes of short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Any profit realized in a purchase of shares of the Company's stock within six months of the sale may be recovered by the Company or by a stockholder of the Company on behalf of the Company.

10. Governing Law.  The grant of Options and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan.  
For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Shelby County, Tennessee, or the federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Tennessee, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
		
	11. 
	Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

		
	12. 
	Miscellaneous.  

		
	12.1.
	The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of the Company which have been sold or transferred in violation of any provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.

In accordance with and subject to the applicable terms of the Plan, the Options shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as determined by the Committee, as to the number, price or kind of Stock or other consideration subject to such Options or as otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date hereof or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Grantee.  No such adjustment shall be made which would result in an increase in the amount of gain or a decrease in the amount of loss inherent in the Options.  The Company shall give Grantee written notice of an adjustment hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any of the following:

(a) The Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or entity and, in connection therewith, consideration is received by stockholders of the Company in a form other than stock or other equity interests of the surviving entity;
(b) All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are acquired by another person; or
(c) The Company's reorganization or liquidation; 
then the Committee may, in its discretion and upon at least ten days advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Options and pay to Grantee, in cash, the value of such Options based upon the price per share of Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event and the per share exercise price of the Options.
8. Requirements of Law.  
		
	8.1. 
	By accepting the Options, Grantee represents and agrees for Grantee and any transferees (whether by will or the laws of descent and distribution) that, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to the shares purchased upon any exercise of the Options, (i) any and all Shares so purchased shall be acquired for his or her personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and (ii) each notice of the exercise of any portion of this Option shall be accompanied by a representation and warranty in writing, signed by the person entitled to exercise the same, that the shares are being so acquired in good faith for his or her personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution.

		
	8.2. 
	No certificate or certificates for Shares may be purchased, issued or transferred if the exercise hereof or the issuance or transfer of such Shares shall constitute a violation by the Company or Grantee of any (i) provision of any Federal, state or other securities law, (ii) requirement of any securities exchange listing agreement to which the Company may be a party, or (iii) other requirement of law or of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.  Any reasonable determination in this connection by the Company, upon notice given to Grantee, shall be final, binding and conclusive.

		
	8.3. 
	The certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Options shall carry such appropriate legend, and such written instructions shall be given to the Company's transfer agent, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

		
	9. 
	Taxes.  Grantee understands that Grantee may recognize income for federal and, if applicable, state income tax purposes upon exercise of Options.  Grantee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of the exercise of this Option.  By accepting the Option, Grantee covenants to report such income in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.  To the extent that the exercise of the Options results in income to Grantee and withholding obligations of the Company, including federal or state withholding obligations, Grantee agrees that the Company shall retain and instruct a registered broker(s) to sell such number of Grantee's Shares necessary to satisfy the Company's withholding obligations, after deduction of the broker's commission, and the broker shall remit to the Company the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations.  Grantee covenants to execute any such documents as are requested by the broker of the Company in order to effectuate the sale of the Shares and payment of the tax obligations to the Company.  Grantee represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, Grantee is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Shares.  Grantee and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a "binding contract" relating to the sale of Shares pursuant to this Section, consistent with the affirmative defense to liability under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act under Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.** Grantee understands that the sale of Shares to satisfy tax or any withholding obligations will be considered a sale for purposes of short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Any profit realized in a purchase of shares of the Company's stock within six months of the sale may be recovered by the Company or by a stockholder of the Company on behalf of the Company.

		
	10. 
	Governing Law.  The grant of Options and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan.  

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Shelby County, Tennessee, or the federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Tennessee, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
		
	11. 
	Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

		
	12. 
	Miscellaneous.  

		
	12.1. 
	The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of the Company which have been sold or transferred in violation of any provisions set forth in this Agreement,
