      5.4.2 Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the benefit to
            the Beneficiary in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following
            receipt by the Bank of the Director's death certificate.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  BENEFICIARIES

6.1   Beneficiary. The Director shall have the right, at any time, to designate
      a Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefits distributable under the
      Agreement to a beneficiary upon the death of the Director. The Beneficiary
      designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the
      Beneficiary designation under any other plan of the Bank in which the
      Director participates.

6.2   Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. The Director shall
      designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary
      Designation Form, and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its
      designated agent. If the Director names someone other than his or her
      spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal consent, in the form designated by the
      Plan Administrator, must be signed by the Director's spouse and returned
      to the Plan Administrator. The Director's beneficiary designation shall be
      deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Director
      or if the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is
      subsequently dissolved. The Director shall have the right to change a
      Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms
      of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator's rules and
      procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the
      Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary
      designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator
      shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed
      by the Director and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to the
      Director's death.

6.3   Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary
      shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by
      the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

6.4   No Beneficiary Designation. If the Director dies without a valid
      beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the
      Director, then the Director's spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary.
      If the Director has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made to the
      personal representative of the Director's estate.

6.5   Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its
      discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared
      incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that
      person's property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such
      benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or
      custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan
      Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship
      as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any
      distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the
      Director and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
      discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution
      amount.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                               GENERAL LIMITATIONS

7.1   No Withdrawal Election. A Director may not elect, at any time, to withdraw
      any portion of the Account Balance prior to the payment date indicated
      under Article 4 or 5, as applicable.

      (c)   Such time as permitted by the Secretary under regulations issued
            pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

10.2  Amendment. The Bank can amend the Agreement at any time by action of its
      Board. However, no such amendment shall change any right or benefit to

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

11.1  Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Director and the Bank and
      their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.

11.2  No Guarantee of Service. This Agreement is not a contract for services. It
      does not give the Director the right to remain a member of the Board, nor
      does it interfere with the Bank's right to terminate the Director's
      service. It also does not require the Director to remain in the service of
      the Bank nor interfere with the Director's right to separate from service
      at any time.

11.3  Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold,
      transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

11.4  Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be
      withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

11.5  Applicable Law. The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed
      by the laws of the State of Tennessee, except to the extent preempted by
      the laws of the United States of America.

11.6  Unfunded Arrangement. Under this Agreement, the Director and the
      Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the
      distribution of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the
      mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits. The rights to
      benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
      transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
      creditors. Any insurance on the Director's life is a general asset of the
      Bank to which the Director and the Beneficiary have no preferred or
      secured claim.

11.7  Reorganization. The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with
      another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to
      another company, firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing
      company, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of
      the Bank under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such event, the term
      "Bank" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor
      or survivor company.

11.8  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
      the Bank and the Director as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are
      granted to the Director by virtue of this Agreement other than those
      specifically set forth herein.

11.9  Interpretation. Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this
      Agreement requires, and the context will permit, the use of the masculine
      gender includes the feminine and use of the singular includes the plural.

11.10 Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for the Bank
      or the Plan Administrator to perform any act required by this Agreement,
      the Bank or Plan Administrator may in its discretion perform such
      alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this
      Agreement and is in the best interests of the Bank.

11.11 Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference only
      and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
      provisions.

11.12 Validity. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or
      invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
      remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced
      as if such illegal and invalid provision has never been inserted herein.
