 5 

 D. Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any
provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, County of Jefferson, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Kentucky, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any
action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. 
 E. No Employment
Agreement. Nothing herein confers on the Optionee any rights with respect to the continuance of employment or other service with the Company, nor will it interfere with any right the Company would otherwise have to terminate or modify
the terms of Optionee’s employment or other service at any time. 
 F. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any relevant jurisdiction, or would disqualify this Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to 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, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

any rights hereunder in any manner whatsoever, such action shall constitute a breach of the covenants hereunder and Company may terminate this Option as to any then unexercised shares. 
 H. Defined Terms. Any term used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. Any conflict between
this Agreement and the Plan will be resolved in favor of the Plan. Any disputes or questions of right or obligation which shall result from or relate to any interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. Any such
determination shall be binding and conclusive upon Optionee and any person or persons claiming through Optionee as to any rights hereunder. 
 I. Execution. If Grantee shall fail to execute this Agreement, either manually with a paper document, or through the on-line grant agreement procedure with the Company’s designated broker–dealer, and, if manually
executed, return the executed original to the Secretary of the Company, the Award shall be null and void. The choice of form will be at the Company’s discretion.
