DEFERRED COMPENSATION RETIREMENT PLAN
Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2016
Whereas, it has been deemed advisable to clarify and make certain other Plan (defined below) changes to carry out the intent and purposes of the prior original Plan; and 
Whereas, the prior original Plan, and subsequently amended and restated Plan, allow for the amendment of the Plan when signed by the Employer (defined below) and consented to by the Board (defined below);

The Plan is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), but it is intended to meet the requirements of section 409A of the Code, and it shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent.

4.Participant Selection of Investment Indices
Each Participant shall specify, in the manner prescribed by the Employer, the allocation of his Account among investment indices available under the Plan.  The Participant's selection of an investment index will have no bearing on the actual investment or segregation of Employer assets, but will be used as the basis for making adjustments to the Participant's Accounts as described in Section 5.3.  A Participant can change his investment index or indices at such time, and in such manner, as determined by the Employer.  The Employer may change the investment indices available to Participants at any time in its absolute discretion.

Upon a finding that a Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, make distributions from the Participant's Account prior to the time specified for payment of benefits under the Plan.  The amount of such distribution shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to meet the Participant's requirements during the Unforeseeable Emergency, which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal or state income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from such distribution.  Such distribution shall be paid in a lump sum within the 90-day period following the date the payment is approved by the Plan Administrator.
4.Form of Benefit Payment
(a)Payment of a Participant's Pre-2016 Account shall commence on the first day following the sixth full month following a triggering event described in Section 6.1.  The Employer will pay one fifth (1/5) of the value of the Participant’s Account balance as of that date.  One year later the Employer will pay one fourth (1/4) of the remaining balance, followed by one third (1/3), etc., until a final payment of the remaining balance is paid in the fifth annual installment. 
(b)Payment of each sub-account in a Participant's Post-2015 Account shall be made in the form selected by the Participant in his Participation Agreement from among the following alternatives:
(i)Lump-sum payment; or

5.Small Account(s)
Notwithstanding Section 6.4, if a Participant's total Account balance upon his Separation from Service is less than the dollar limit imposed on 401(k) contributions under Section 402(g) of the Code, the Employer shall pay the Participant in a lump sum the Participant’s entire remaining Account balance on the 15th day of the seventh month following his Separation from Service. 
6.Withholding; Payroll Taxes
The Employer or the trustee of any trust established pursuant to Section 10.7 shall withhold from payments made hereunder any taxes required to be withheld from such payments under federal or state law.
ARTICLE VII - BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
1.Beneficiary Designation
Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate one or more persons or an entity as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under this Plan shall be paid in the event of Participant's death prior to complete distribution of the Participant's Account.  Each Beneficiary designation shall be in a written form prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall be effective only when filed with the Plan Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.
2.Changing Beneficiary
Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant without the consent of the previously named Beneficiary by the filing of a new designation with the Plan Administrator.  The filing of a new designation shall cancel all designations previously filed.
3.No Beneficiary Designation
In the absence of an effective Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the Participant's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the person in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor:
(a)the surviving spouse;
(b)the Participant's children in equal amounts, except that if any of the children predeceases the Participant but leaves issue surviving, then such issue shall take by right of representation the share the parent would have taken if living;
(c)the Participant's estate.
4.Effect of Payment
The payment to the deemed Beneficiary shall completely discharge the Employer's obligations under this Plan.
ARTICLE VIII - claims procedure

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates to a disability determination, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of the decision within 45 days (which may be extended for an additional 30 days if required by special circumstances).
4.Procedure for Appeal
Within 60 days following receipt by the Claimant of notice denying his claim, in whole or in part, or, if such notice shall not be given, within 60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have been timely given, the Claimant may appeal denial of the claim by filing a written application for review with the Plan Administrator.  Following such request for review, the Plan Administrator shall fully and fairly review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the Plan Administrator, the Claimant shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing.

(a)Within 60 days following receipt by the Plan Administrator of the request for appeal (or within 120 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant in writing of its decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension.

ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
The Plan may be amended or terminated when in the sole discretion of the Employer such amendment or termination is advisable.  The Plan can be amended retroactively at any time, except that it cannot be amended so that it materially adversely affects the rights of a participant as to amounts deferred or 

matched prior to such amendment. Any amendment or termination shall be made by a written instrument signed by the Employer and consented to by the Board.  Any distribution made on account of the termination of the Plan shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  Participants shall become fully vested in their Accounts upon a termination of the Plan.

No Participant or Beneficiary shall have the right to transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, pledge or encumber any part of the benefits provided by this Plan, nor shall such benefits be subject to seizure by legal process by any creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary. Any attempt to effect such a diversion or seizure shall be deemed null and void for all purposes hereunder to the extent permitted by ERISA and the Code.
3.Plan not Employment Contract
The Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract between the Employer and any Participant, or to be consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant. No Participant in the Plan shall acquire any right to be retained in the employment by virtue of the Plan, nor upon his dismissal or upon his voluntary termination of employment shall he have any right or interest in the Plan other than as specifically provided herein.
4.Governing Law
This Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of Tennessee.
5.Construction

6.Construction Consistent with Section 409A of the Code
The provisions of this Plan are intended to be construed and applied in a manner consistent with compliance with section 409A of the Code, where applicable, and shall be construed and applied consistent with such intent. However, the Employer shall bear no responsibility for any determination by any other person or persons that the arrangement or the administration thereof is subject to the tax provisions of section 409A of the Code.
7.Trust Fund
The Employer shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits provided under the Plan.  At its discretion, the Employer may establish one or more trusts, with such trustees as the Employer may approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits.  Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors.  To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Employer shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Employer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused this plan to be executed in its name and behalf on the 15th day of December, 2015, by the person named below, to be effective as of January 1, 2016.
