1. Selected First Quarter Earnings Release Highlights
On April 17, 2008, First Horizon National Corporation (“First Horizon”) announced its financial results for its first fiscal quarter. Net income was $7.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share in first quarter 2008 compared to a net loss of $248.6 million or $1.97 per diluted share in fourth quarter 2007. The pre-tax loss for First Horizon, before discontinued operations, was $1.1 million in first quarter 2008 compared to a $399.1 million pre-tax loss in fourth quarter 2007. Total revenues were $677.2 million in first quarter compared to $319.0 million in fourth quarter 2007. Noninterest expenses were $438.3 million compared to $561.5 million in fourth quarter 2007. Provision for loan losses increased $83.4 million to $240.0 million in first quarter 2008.
In first quarter 2008, average total loans increased 1 percent in comparison to fourth quarter 2007 as an increase in the mortgage warehouse was offset by a reduction in the national construction portfolios. Total average deposits decreased 9 percent for the same time period, which reflects a continuing shift from wholesale certificates of deposit to more stable funding sources and the divestiture of First Horizon Bank branches. Consolidated net interest margin increased to 2.81 percent from 2.77 percent as the reduction of short-term rates lowered wholesale borrowing costs.
A very challenging industry and economic environment and an active process to identify portfolio deterioration led to increased provisioning and reserves. First Horizon continues to consider near-term strategic alternatives to reduce its mortgage business and intends to continue investing in its regional banking and capital markets businesses.
Additional information concerning those alternatives is presented in section 2 of this Item 8.01.
Performance Highlights (First Quarter 2008 vs. Fourth Quarter 2007)
Segment Revisions Highlight Core Businesses, Provide Visibility Into National Businesses
In first quarter 2008, First Horizon revised its business line segments to better align with its strategic direction, representing a focus on its regional banking franchise and capital markets business. To implement this change, the prior Retail/Commercial Banking segment was split into its major components with the national portions of consumer lending and construction lending assigned to a new National Specialty Lending segment that more appropriately reflects the ongoing wind down of these businesses. Additionally, correspondent banking was shifted from Retail/Commercial Banking to the Capital Markets segment to better represent the complementary nature of these businesses. To reflect its geographic focus, the remaining portions of the Retail/Commercial Banking segment now represent the new Regional Banking segment. All prior period information disclosed below has been revised to conform to the current segment structure and the discussions below are based on the new segment presentation.
Increased Provisioning Reflects Portfolio Deterioration; Charge-Offs Increase Sequentially
The net charge-off ratio was 181 basis points in first quarter 2008 compared to 93 basis points in fourth quarter 2007 as net charge-offs increased to $99.1 million from $50.8 million in fourth quarter 2007. The ratio of allowance to total loans increased to 2.20 percent from 1.55 percent in the prior quarter. Provision for loan losses increased to $240.0 million in first quarter 2008 from $156.6 million in fourth quarter 2007. The provision for first quarter 2008 reflects recognition of portfolio deterioration due to declining economic conditions, especially in national construction and home equity loans. First Horizon continues to apply focused portfolio management activities to identify problem assets. Provisioning for fourth quarter 2007 reflected recognition of inherent losses within residential construction portfolios, including One-Time Close and Homebuilder Finance, related to discontinued product structures and higher-risk national markets such as Florida, California, Virginia, Georgia and Nevada. The nonperforming asset ratio increased to 278 basis points in first quarter 2008 from 166 basis points in fourth quarter 2007.

Regional Banking Experiences Increased Provisioning, NIM Compression, Benefits of Efficiency Initiatives
Regional Banking recognized a pre-tax loss of $18.2 million for first quarter 2008, compared to pre-tax income of $53.3 million for fourth quarter 2007. The current quarter’s loss was primarily driven by an increase in provision expense to $75.3 million from $16.0 million in prior quarter due to increased deterioration in commercial loans. Net interest margin declined to 4.39 percent in the current quarter compared to 4.74 percent in fourth quarter as the effects of Federal Reserve rate reductions were not fully passed through to deposit customers. Excluding deposits held for sale, average core deposits increased 2 percent over prior quarter. Noninterest income was affected by a seasonal decline in fees from deposit accounts. Noninterest expense decreased as the effects of efficiency initiatives more than offset seasonal increases in personnel costs. Additionally, fourth quarter 2007 included recognition of losses on owned real estate and reductions in value of low income housing investments.
Capital Markets Sees Record Fixed Income Revenues, Affected by Provisioning and Credit Disruptions
Capital Markets recognized pre-tax income of $22.8 million in first quarter 2008 compared to $30.9 million of pre-tax income in fourth quarter 2007. This primarily reflects an increase in provision for correspondent banking loans to $15.0 million from $1.2 million. Fixed income sales increased significantly as the Federal Reserve significantly reduced rates during the quarter which resulted in a steeper yield curve. This was partially offset by a decline in other product revenues in comparison to the prior quarter primarily resulting from write downs of the warehouse for the pooled trust preferred product. Noninterest expense increased from higher production levels. Additionally, net interest income improved over fourth quarter.
National Specialty Lending Experiences Impact of Credit Losses, Effects of Winding Down Operations
National Specialty Lending had a pre-tax loss of $120.1 million for first quarter 2008 compared to a pre-tax loss of $116.1 million in fourth quarter 2007. Both quarters’ losses primarily resulted from provisioning for loan losses, including the national construction and consumer lending portfolios. Net interest margin declined due to the increase in nonaccrual construction loans. Noninterest income improved sequentially as repurchase reserves decreased in comparison to fourth quarter 2007 which was partially offset by greater declines in servicing asset values for rate decreases in the current quarter. Noninterest expense declined due to the effects of the business wind down initiated during the quarter.
Mortgage Banking Positively Affected by Improved Performance and Accounting Changes
Mortgage Banking pre-tax income was $51.3 million for first quarter 2008 compared to a pre-tax loss of $254.0 million for fourth quarter 2007. Pre-tax earnings for the current quarter were positively affected by approximately $40 million related to the adoption of new accounting standards, including the prospective election of fair value accounting for mortgage warehouse loans. The prior quarter’s pre-tax loss primarily reflected recognition of reductions in values of mortgage servicing rights and other retained interests, impairment of goodwill and the continued deterioration of credit markets during the quarter. Additionally, continuing efforts to reposition Mortgage Banking resulted in the sale of $7.5 billion of servicing during first quarter 2008.
Net interest income increased consistent with the increase in warehouse margin and an increase in average warehouse size. Gain on sale margins declined as effects of credit market pricing stresses continued to result in margins significantly below historical experience. The increase in servicing income compared to prior quarter was primarily due to the reduction in value of servicing assets recognized in the prior quarter to reflect lower values from observable market inputs and third party valuations. In addition, better hedging results also positively impacted current quarter performance due to wider mortgage-swap spreads and decreased options expense. Noninterest expense decreased because the impairment of goodwill and recognition of a legal settlement were recognized in the prior quarter. Noninterest expense was also negatively affected in the current quarter by the recognition of origination costs for loans recognized at elected fair value. Previously these costs had been deferred until delivery of the related loans. This effect was offset by a corresponding increase in gain on sale.
Corporate Segment Reflects Visa IPO and Earnings Enhancement Initiatives
The Corporate segment recognized $65.9 million of securities gains from Visa, Inc.’s initial public offering. Additionally, a reversal of non-interest expense totaling $30.0 million was recognized to reflect a partial reduction in the contingent liability for certain Visa litigation matters. Results for first quarter 2008 also include $21.3 million of net charges associated with implementation of restructuring, repositioning and efficiency initiatives.

2. Possible Sale or Downsizing of Mortgage Business
Mortgage Business
First Horizon continues to review its strategy with respect to its mortgage business activities.  Based on its current strategy, First Horizon could sell or significantly reduce portions of its mortgage business.  Currently, First Horizon is actively engaged in efforts to sell or downsize its national mortgage origination and mortgage servicing business activities.  These efforts are not expected to include First Horizon's mortgage loan origination activities associated with its Tennessee-based banking operations. Currently, First Horizon is actively negotiating for a sale of certain parts of its mortgage business, but there can be no certainty that such a transaction will occur or of the final terms of such sale.
If First Horizon is unable to successfully sell portions of its mortgage business as contemplated above, First Horizon may significantly reduce its national mortgage origination activities.  Any closing of the mortgage business or portions thereof would likely involve significant expenses primarily related to employee severance, lease cancellations, and other associated assets.
Selected Financial Data About the Mortgage Business
First Horizon’s mortgage segment consists of two principal businesses: origination and servicing. The mortgage segment’s contribution to First Horizon’s consolidated pre-tax income is set forth below:

The mortgage origination business consists largely of offices, employees, and customers throughout national real estate markets. Approximately 4% of the origination volume in fiscal 2007 was conducted through First Tennessee Bank branches and related offices and personnel; the remainder was conducted through First Horizon Home Loans offices and personnel.
3. Business Segment Change
Periodically, First Horizon adapts its segments to reflect the manner in which its chief operating decision makers analyze First Horizon’s businesses. Effective January 1, 2008, First Horizon changed its segments to reflect the segregation of its national specialty lending businesses and to provide clarity into its core banking business. As such, the Retail/Commercial Banking segment was divided into separate segments for Regional Banking and National Specialty Lending. Further, correspondent banking activities, which were previously included in the Retail/Commerical Banking segment, were moved to the Capital Markets segment. Accordingly, results for prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the reclassification of such segments.
Financial Information Related to Segment Change
After the segment change, First Horizon has five business segments, Regional Banking, Capital Markets, National Specialty Lending, Mortgage Banking and Corporate. The Regional Banking segment offers financial products and

services, including traditional lending and deposit taking to retail and commercial customers in Tennessee and the surrounding markets. Additionally, Regional Banking provides investments, insurance, financial planning, trust services and asset management, credit card, cash management, and check clearing services. The Capital Markets segment consists of traditional capital markets securities activities, structured finance, equity research, investment banking, loan sales, portfolio advisory, and correspondent banking. The National Specialty Lending segment consists of traditional consumer and construction lending activities in national markets outside of Tennessee. The Mortgage Banking segment consists of core mortgage banking elements including originations and servicing and the associated ancillary revenues related to these businesses. The Corporate segment consists of restructuring, repositioning and efficiency initiatives, unallocated corporate expenses, expense on subordinated debt issuances and preferred stock, bank-owned life insurance, unallocated interest income associated with excess equity, net impact of raising incremental capital, revenue and expense associated with deferred compensation plans, funds management, and venture capital.
Total revenue, expense and asset levels reflect those which are specifically identifiable or which are allocated based on an internal allocation method. Because the allocations are based on internally developed assignments and allocations, they are to an extent subjective. This assignment and allocation has been consistently applied for all periods presented. The following table reflects the amounts of consolidated revenue, expense, tax, and assets for each segment for the three years ended December 31:

6. Amendment of Risk Factor
The third paragraph of the discussion concerning “ Interest Rate and Yield Curve Risks ” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 is amended and restated as follows:
     Our mortgage lending business is affected by changes in interest rates in another manner. During the period of loan origination (when loans are in the “pipeline”) and prior to the loan’s sale in the secondary market (when loans are in the “warehouse”), we are exposed to the risk of interest rate changes for those pipeline loans which we have agreed to lock in the customer’s mortgage rate and for all warehouse loans, whether fixed-rate or adjustable-rate. We manage that rate-change risk through hedging activities and other methods; however, it is not possible to eliminate all such risks, and a rate change is just one of the risks that could impact the demand for, and thus the value of, our pipeline and warehouse loans. Additional information concerning those risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Pipeline and Warehouse” beginning on page 46 of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” section of our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007.
      Weakness in the economy and in the real estate markets in which we operate has adversely affected us and may continue to adversely affect us.
     In recent periods our operating results have been adversely affected by weakness in the economy and in real estate markets. In particular, we have experienced significant deterioration in our portfolios of national construction and home equity loans and regional commercial loans. If the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations continues to decline, this could result in, among other things, a further deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including a resultant adverse effect on our loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. A portion of our residential mortgage and commercial real estate loan portfolios are comprised of loans to borrowers in certain geographic markets that have been more adversely affected by declines in real estate values and home sale volumes, job losses and declines in new home building, such as certain markets in California, Florida, Northern Virginia/D.C. and Nevada. These factors contributed to our increasing provisions for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008 and the potential for future loan losses and loss provisions for the remainder of 2008, which may result in loan loss provisions in excess of charge-offs, higher delinquencies and/or greater charge-offs in future periods, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, further deterioration of the U.S. economy may adversely impact our traditional banking business.
      The allowance for loan losses may prove inadequate or be negatively affected by credit risk exposures.
     Our banking business depends on the creditworthiness of our borrowing customers. We regularly review the allowance for loan losses for adequacy considering economic conditions and trends, collateral values and credit quality indicators, including past charge-off experience and levels of past due loans and nonperforming assets as well as changes in housing price appreciation and depreciation. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If the credit quality of our customer base materially weakens, if the risk profile of a market, industry or group of customers changes materially, or if the allowance for loan losses is not adequate, our financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
      Potential regulatory and legislative actions that may adversely affect our mortgage business.
     Legislative and regulatory initiatives by federal, state or local legislative bodies or administrative agencies, if enacted or adopted, could delay foreclosure, provide new defenses to foreclosure or otherwise impair our ability to foreclose on a defaulted mortgage loan, adversely affect our rights if a borrower declares bankruptcy, or otherwise adversely affect our rights with respect to borrowers who are in default or who qualify for such initiatives. The outcome of these initiatives is uncertain.
7. Dividend Policy Change
In light of the decline in First Horizon’s earnings in recent periods and the difficult market conditions that First Horizon faces, the Board of Directors has determined to cease paying cash dividends commencing with the next quarterly dividend period. Instead, the Board intends to pay a stock dividend with a value equal to the previous $.20 per share cash dividend rate. The Board currently intends to reinstate a cash dividend at an appropriate and prudent level once earnings and other conditions improve sufficiently, consistent with regulatory and other constraints. The Board anticipates that this policy will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.

     This Current Report on Form 8-K (including information incorporated by reference herein) may contain, among other things, certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not a representation of historical information but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “is likely,” “with,” “going forward,” and other expression that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.
     Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond First Horizon’s control, and many of which are subject to change. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors: general and local economic and business conditions; recession and other business downturn; expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements, including the slope of the yield curve, which can have a significant impact on a financial services institution; market and monetary fluctuations including fluctuations in mortgage markets and housing prices; inflation or deflation; customer and investor responses to these conditions; the financial condition of borrowers and other counterparties; market volatility; competition within and outside the financial services industry; geopolitical developments including possible terrorist activity; natural disasters; effectiveness of our hedging practices; technology; demand for our product offerings; new products and services in the industries in which we operate; and critical accounting estimates. Other factors are those inherent in originating, selling, and servicing loans including prepayment risks, pricing concessions, fluctuation in U.S. housing prices, fluctuation of collateral values, and changes in customer profiles. Additionally, the actions of the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and other regulators; regulatory, administrative, and judicial proceedings and changes in laws and regulations applicable to us; and our success in executing our business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, for those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
     We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that are made in this Report. Actual results could differ, possibly materially, because of one or more factors described under “Risk Factors” in this Report and under Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should carefully consider the factors described above and under “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, among others, in evaluating forward-looking statements and assessing First Horizon and its prospects.

SECTION 1 — Purpose
This plan shall be known as the “First Horizon National Corporation 2003 Equity Compensation Plan” (the “Plan”).

The determination as to whether Cause has occurred shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall also have the authority in its sole discretion to

 


 

waive the consequences under the Plan or any Award Agreement of the existence or occurrence of any of the events, acts or omissions constituting Cause.
Change in Control ” shall mean, unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award Agreement, the occurrence of any one of (and shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the earliest to occur of) the following events:
  (i)   individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;
 
  (ii)   any “Person” (for purposes of this definition only, as defined under Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii) hereof);
 
  (iii)   the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no Person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such

Computations required by paragraph (iii) shall be made on and as of the date of shareholder approval and shall be based on reasonable assumptions that will result in the lowest percentage obtainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred solely because any Person acquires beneficial ownership of more than twenty percent (20%) of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such Person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such Person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.
Code ” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

Covered Officer ” shall mean at any date (i) any individual who, with respect to the previous taxable year of the Company, was a “covered employee” of the Company within the meaning of Section 162(m); provided, however, that the term “Covered Officer” shall not include any such individual who is designated by the Committee, in its discretion, at the time of any Award or at any subsequent time, as reasonably expected not to be such a “covered employee” with respect to the current taxable year of the Company, and (ii) any individual who is designated by the Committee, in its discretion, at the time of any Award or at any subsequent time, as reasonably expected to be such a “covered employee” with respect to the current taxable year of the Company or with respect to the taxable year of the Company in which any applicable Award will be paid.

omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. Each Covered Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Covered Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Covered Person, with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Covered Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Covered Person, provided that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and, once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to a Covered Person to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case, not subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Restated Charter or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such persons or hold them harmless.
SECTION 4 — Shares Available for Awards
  (A)   Shares Available . Subject to the provisions of Section 4(B) hereof, the stock to be subject to Awards under the Plan shall be Shares and the maximum number of Shares which may be issued with respect to Awards shall be 8,500,000, of which no more than 4,800,000 shall be issued with respect to Awards other than Options. If, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under this Plan, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award is settled for cash or otherwise terminates, expires unexercised, or is canceled without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued with respect to Awards, to the extent of any such settlement, forfeiture, termination, expiration, or cancellation, shall again become Shares which may be issued with respect to Awards. In the event that any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the delivery of Shares by the Participant or in the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from such Award are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the Company from the total number of Shares that otherwise would have been delivered to the Participant, the number of Shares which may be issued with respect to Awards shall be increased by the number of Shares so surrendered or withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(B) hereof, the number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any one Participant in any one calendar year shall be no more than 500,000 Shares.
  (B)   Adjustments . The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, the number of Shares available for Awards, the number of Shares that may be subject to Awards to any one Participant, and the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Award shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Shares, and may be proportionately adjusted, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, for any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company or to reflect any distributions to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. After any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph, the number of Shares subject to each outstanding Award shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

 


 

  (C)   Substitute Awards . Any Shares issued by the Company as Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares available for Awards under the Plan.
  (D)   Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards . Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company.

SECTION 6 — Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
  (A)   Grant . Except as provided by Sections 3 and 9 hereof, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Participants to whom Options and SARs shall be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Award, the exercise price and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of Options and SARs. A person who has been granted an Option or SAR under this Plan may be granted additional Options or SARs under the Plan if the Committee shall so determine.
  (B)   Option Price . The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish the Option Price at the time each Option is granted. Except in the case of Substitute Awards, the Option Price of an Option may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which the Option is granted on the date of grant of such Option. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Option Price of an Option may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which the Option is granted on the date of grant of such Option if (i) the grantee of the Option has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the grant of the Option is in lieu of the payment of compensation and (ii) the amount of such compensation when added to the Option Price of the Option equals at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which the Option is granted on the date of grant of such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided by Sections 4(B) and 14(C) hereof, the Committee shall not have the power to (i) amend the terms of previously granted Options to reduce the Option Price of such Options, or (ii) cancel such Options and grant substitute Options with a lower Option Price than the cancelled Options, without shareholder approval.
  (C)   Term . Subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3(A) hereof, each Option and SAR and all rights and obligations thereunder shall expire on the date determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement. The Committee shall be under no duty to provide terms of like duration for Options or SARs granted under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option was granted.
  (D)   Transfer Restrictions . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(D), no Option shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, hedged or disposed of, in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including by operation of law (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution). The Committee may in its discretion permit the transfer of an Option by a Participant to or for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited liability company for one or more members of the Participant’s Immediate Family), subject to such limits as the Committee may establish, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Option prior to such transfer. The foregoing right to transfer the Option shall apply to the right to consent to amendments to any Award Agreement evidencing such Option and, in the discretion of the Committee, shall also apply to the right to transfer ancillary rights associated with the Option. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Immediate Family” shall mean the Participant’s spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, adopted relations, sisters, brothers, grandchildren and step-grandchildren.

 


 

  (F)   Exercise .
(i)  Each Option and SAR shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter. The Committee shall have full and complete authority to determine whether an Option or SAR will be exercisable in full at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option or SAR, or to provide for the exercise thereof in such installments, upon the occurrence of such events and at such times during the term of the Option or SAR as the Committee may determine.
(ii) The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Options, including without limitation, any relating to the application of federal, state or foreign securities laws or the Code, as it may deem necessary or advisable. The exercise of any Option granted hereunder shall be effective only at such time as the sale of Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(iii) An Option or SAR may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, with respect to whole Shares only, within the period permitted thereunder for the exercise thereof, and shall be exercised by written notice of intent to exercise the Option or SAR, delivered to the Company at its principal office, and payment in full to the Company at said office of the amount of the Option Price for the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised.
(iv) Payment of the Option Price shall be made in cash or cash equivalents, or, at the discretion of the Committee, (i) by tendering, either by way of actual delivery of Shares or attestation, whole Shares that have been owned by the Option holder for not less than six (6) months, if acquired directly from the Company, or that have been owned for any period of time, if acquired on the open market, prior to the date of exercise, valued at the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of exercise, together with any applicable withholding taxes, (ii) by a combination of such cash (or cash equivalents) and such Shares or (iii) by such other method of exercise as may be permitted from time to time by the Committee; provided, however, that the optionee shall not be entitled to tender Shares pursuant to successive, substantially simultaneous exercises of an Option or any other stock option of the Company. Subject to applicable securities laws and at the discretion of the Committee, an Option may also be exercised by delivering a notice of exercise of the Option and simultaneously selling the Shares thereby acquired, pursuant to a brokerage or similar agreement or program approved in advance by the Committee. Until the optionee has been issued the Shares subject to such exercise, he or she shall possess no rights as a shareholder with respect to such Shares and shall not be entitled to any dividend or distribution the record date of which is prior to the date of issuance of such Shares. At the Committee’s discretion, the amount payable as a result of the exercise of an SAR may be settled in cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares. A fractional Share shall not be deliverable upon the exercise of a SAR but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.
(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant shall be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the spread realized in connection with the Participant’s exercise of an Option within six months prior to such Participant’s termination of employment by resignation in the event that such Participant, within six months following such Participant’s termination of employment by resignation, engages directly or indirectly in any activity determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be competitive with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. This subsection (v) shall be void and of no legal effect upon a Change in Control.

 


 

SECTION 7 — Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
  (A)   Grant .
(i) Except as provided by Sections 3 and 9 hereof, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Participants to whom Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of shares of Restricted Stock and/or the number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each Participant, the duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited to the Company, and the other terms and conditions of such Awards. The Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions provided hereunder and any additional terms and conditions established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms of the Plan.
(ii) Each Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award made under the Plan shall be for such number of Shares as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the agreement containing the terms of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award. Such agreement shall set forth a period of time during which the grantee must remain in the continuous employment of one or more Employers in order for the forfeiture and transfer restrictions to lapse. If the Committee so determines, the restrictions may lapse during such restricted period in installments with respect to specified portions of the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award. The agreement may also, in the discretion of the Committee, set forth performance or other conditions that, if satisfied, will result in the lapsing of any applicable forfeiture and transfer restrictions. The Committee may, at its discretion, waive all or any part of the restrictions applicable to any or all outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
  (B)   Delivery of Shares and Transfer Restrictions . The Company may implement the grant of a Restricted Stock Award by (i) book-entry issuance of Shares to the Participant in an account maintained by the Company at its transfer agent or (ii) delivery of certificates for Shares to the Participant who must execute appropriate stock powers in blank and return the certificates and stock powers to the Company. Such certificates and stock powers shall be held by the Company or any custodian appointed by the Company for the account of the grantee subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the certificate shall bear such a legend setting forth the restrictions imposed thereon as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the grantee shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such Shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i) in the case of certificated Shares, the grantee shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the expiration of the restricted period and the fulfillment of any other restrictive conditions set forth in the Award Agreement with respect to such Shares; (ii) none of the Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, hedged or disposed of, in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including by operation of law (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) until the expiration of the restricted period and the fulfillment of any other restrictive conditions set forth in the Award Agreement with respect to such Shares; and (iii) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, all of the Shares shall be forfeited and all rights of the grantee to such Shares shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the grantee remains in the continuous employment of one or more Employers for the entire restricted period in relation to which such Shares were granted and unless any other restrictive conditions relating to the Restricted Stock Award are met. Any Shares, any other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash dividends) distributed with respect to the Shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as such Restricted Stock.

 


 

  (C)   Termination of Restrictions . At the end of the restricted period and provided that any other restrictive conditions of the Restricted Stock Award are met, or at such earlier time as otherwise determined by the Committee, all restrictions set forth in the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award or in the Plan shall lapse as to the restricted Shares subject thereto, and, if certificated, a stock certificate for the appropriate number of Shares, free of the restrictions and restricted stock legend imposed thereon by the Committee as described in the second sentence of Subsection (B) of this Section 7, shall be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.
  (D)   Payment of Restricted Stock Units . Each Restricted Stock Unit shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities or other property, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, credit Participants with dividend equivalents on any Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant’s account at the time of any payment of dividends to shareholders on Shares. The amount of any such dividend equivalents shall equal the amount that would have been payable to the Participant as a shareholder in respect of a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to him. Any such dividend equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s account as of the date on which such dividend would have been payable and shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units based upon the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such crediting. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, hedged or disposed of, in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including by operation of law (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) until the expiration of the applicable restricted period and the fulfillment of any other restrictive conditions relating to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, all Restricted Stock Units and all rights of the grantee to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the grantee remains in continuous employment of one or more Employers for the entire restricted period in relation to which such Restricted Stock Units were granted and unless any other restrictive conditions relating to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are met.
SECTION 8 — Performance Awards
  (A)   Grant . The Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Participants who shall receive a Performance Award, which shall consist of a right that is (i) denominated in cash and/or Shares, (ii) valued, as determined by the Committee, in accordance with the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish, and (iii) payable at such time and in such form as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate whether any Performance Award being granted to any Participant is intended to be “performance-based compensation” as that term is used in Section 162(m). Any Performance Awards designated by the Committee as “performance-based compensation” shall be subject to the terms and provisions of Section 10 hereof.
  (B)   Terms and Conditions . Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award and the amount and kind of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award, and may change specific provisions of the Performance Award, provided, however, that such change may not adversely affect existing Performance Awards made within a performance period commencing prior to implementation of the change.
  (C)   Payment of Performance Awards . Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the performance period or, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis. If a Participant ceases to be employed by any Employer during a performance period because of death, Disability, Retirement or other circumstance in which the Committee in its discretion finds that a waiver would be appropriate, that Participant, as determined by

 


 

    the Committee, may be entitled to a payment of a Performance Award, or a portion thereof, at the end of the performance period; provided, however, that the Committee may provide for an earlier payment in settlement of such Performance Award in such amount and under such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate or desirable. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Termination of Employment prior to the end of any performance period will result in the forfeiture of the Performance Award, and no payments will be made. A Participant’s rights to any Performance Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, hedged or disposed of in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including by operation of law (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution).

The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Awards, including the terms and conditions which shall apply upon a termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service as a member of the Board, and shall have full power and authority in its discretion to administer such Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law.
SECTION 10 — Provisions Applicable to Covered Officers and Performance-Based Awards
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee determines otherwise, all performance-based Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards or Performance Awards shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10.
  (A)   Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Awards to Covered Officers shall vest or become exercisable upon the attainment of performance targets related to one or more performance goals selected by the Committee from among the goals specified below. For the purposes of this Section 10, performance goals shall be limited to one or a combination of the following Employer, operating unit, division, line of business, department, team or business unit financial performance measures: stock price; dividends; total shareholder return; earnings per share; price/earnings ratio; market capitalization; book value; revenues; expenses; loans; deposits; non-interest income; net interest income; fee income; operating income before or after taxes; net income before or after taxes; net income before securities transactions; net or operating income excluding non-recurring charges; return on assets; return on equity; return on capital; cash flow; credit quality; service quality; market share; customer retention; efficiency ratio; strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures; and, except in the case of a Covered Officer, any other performance criteria established by the Committee. Each goal may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on internal targets, the past performance of the Company (consolidated or unconsolidated) and/or the past or current performance of other companies, the performance of other companies over one or more years or an index of the performance of other companies, markets or economic metrics over one or more years, and in the case of earnings-based measures, may use or employ comparisons relating to capital, shareholders’ equity and/or Shares outstanding, or to assets or net assets.
  (B)   The maximum annual number of Shares in respect of which all performance-based Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Awards may be granted to a Participant under the Plan is 100,000 and the maximum annual amount of any Awards settled in cash to a Participant under the Plan is $4,000,000.
  (C)   To the extent necessary to comply with Section 162(m), with respect to performance-based Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Awards, no later than 90 days following

 


 

      the commencement of each performance period (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m)), the Committee shall, in writing, (1) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the performance period, (2) establish the various targets and bonus amounts which may be earned for such performance period, and (3) specify the relationship between performance goals and targets and the amounts to be earned by each Covered Officer for such performance period. Following the completion of each performance period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved and the amounts, if any, payable to Covered Officers for such performance period. In determining the amount earned by a Covered Officer for a given performance period, subject to any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the performance period.
SECTION 11 — Termination of Employment
The Committee shall have the full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions that shall apply to any Award upon a Termination of Employment and shall provide such terms in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the limitation contained in the last sentence of Section 6(c) hereof, upon the Termination of Employment as a result of a Workforce Reduction of an Employee who has received an Award of Options, such Options shall expire on the date specified by the Committee at the time of the Termination of Employment, not to exceed five (5) years after the date of such Termination of Employment.
SECTION 12 — Change in Control
Upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards granted prior to January 16, 2007 shall vest, become immediately exercisable or payable or have all restrictions lifted, as the case may be. Upon a Qualifying Termination following a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards granted on and following January 16, 2007 shall vest, become immediately exercisable or payable or have all restrictions lifted, as the case may be. In addition, an Award Agreement or an individual agreement between the Participant and the Company may provide for additional benefits to the Participant upon a Change in Control.
SECTION 13 — Compliance with Section 409A of the Code
  (A)   The foregoing definitions of “Change in Control” and “Qualifying Termination” shall not be changed or modified by this Section 13 to the extent that such definitions apply to an Exempt Award, and such definitions shall not be changed or modified by this Section 13 to the extent relevant to vesting of a Deferred Compensation Award, rather than payment of a Deferred Compensation Award, and compliance with Section 409A of such definitions is not otherwise required. In all other cases, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 13(B), and a Qualifying Termination shall not constitute a Qualifying Termination unless such event also constitutes a separation from service as provided in Section 13(C).
  (B)   “Change in Control” means the occurrence with respect to the Company of any of the following events: (i) a change in the ownership of the Company; (ii) a change in the effective control of the Company; (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company.
For purposes of this Section, a change in the ownership of the Company occurs on the date on which any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. A change in the effective control of the Company occurs on the date on which either (i) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, taking into account all such stock acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition, or (ii) a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors is

 


 

replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets occurs on the date on which any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, other than a person or group of persons that is related to the Company, acquires assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions, taking into account all such assets acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition.
An event constitutes a Change in Control with respect to a Participant only if the Participant performs services for the Company, or the Participant’s relationship to the Company otherwise satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(ii).
The determination as to the occurrence of a Change in Control shall be based on objective facts and in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
  (C)   Whether a separation from service has occurred shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and the following rules shall apply:
(i) Except in the case of a Participant on a bona fide leave of absence as provided below, a Participant is deemed to have incurred a separation from service if the Company and the Participant reasonably anticipate that the level of services to be performed by the Participant after a date certain would be reduced to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average services rendered by the Participant during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period disregarding periods during which the Participant was on a bona fide leave of absence.
(ii) A Participant who is absent from work due to military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence shall incur a separation from service on the first day immediately following the later of (a) the six-month anniversary of the commencement of the leave or (b) the expiration of the Participant’s right, if any, to reemployment or to return to work under statute or contract.
(iii) For purposes of determine whether a separation from service has occurred, the Company and its affiliates shall be treated as a single employer. For this purpose, an affiliate means a corporation, trade or business that, together with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code, except that for the foregoing purposes, common ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) shall be determinative.
(iv) The Committee specifically reserves the right to determine whether a sale or other disposition of substantial assets to an unrelated party constitutes a separation from service with respect to a Participant providing services to the seller immediately prior to the transaction and providing services to the buyer after the transaction. Such determination shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
  (D)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Deferred Compensation Award to a Participant who is a Specified Employee as of the date such Participant incurs a separation from service (as provided in Section 13(C)), payment shall be made no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the month in which such separation from service occurs. On such date, the Participant shall receive all payments that would have been made on or before such date but for the provisions of this section, and the terms of this section shall not affect the timing or amount of any payment to be made after such date under other provisions of the Plan, this Amendment or the Award.
  (E)   The provisions of this Section 13 shall apply only to Awards made after October 16, 2007.

 


 

SECTION 14 — Amendment, Suspension and Termination
  (A)   Termination, Suspension or Amendment of the Plan . The Board may amend, alter, modify, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, except that the Board shall not amend the Plan in violation of law. No such amendment, alteration, modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall materially and adversely affect any right acquired by any Participant or beneficiary of a Participant under the terms of an Award granted before the date of such amendment, alteration, modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination, unless such Participant or beneficiary shall consent.
  (B)   Termination, Suspension or Amendment of Awards . Subject to the restrictions of Section 6(B) hereof, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or modify, alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, modification, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder, or beneficiary; provided, however, that it shall be conclusively presumed that any adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 4 hereof does not materially and adversely affect any such rights.
  (C)   Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events . The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(B) hereof) affecting the Company, any Subsidiary, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee is required to make such adjustments pursuant to section 4(B) hereof or whenever the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan; provided that, with respect to Awards intended to comply with Section 162(m), no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would be inconsistent with having either the Plan or any Awards granted hereunder meeting the requirements of Section 162(m).
SECTION 15 — General Provisions
  (A)   Dividend Equivalents . In the sole and complete discretion of the Committee, an Award (other than an Option) may provide the Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, Shares, other securities or other property on a current or deferred basis. All dividend or dividend equivalents which are not paid currently may, at the Committee’s discretion, accrue interest, be reinvested into additional Shares, or in the case of dividends or dividend equivalents credited in connection with Performance Awards, be credited as additional Performance Awards and paid to the Participant if and when, and to the extent that, payment is made pursuant to such Award. The total number of Shares available for Awards under Section 4 hereof shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional Shares or credited as Performance Awards.
  (B)   No Rights to Awards . No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees, Non-Employee Directors, Regional Board Members or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.
  (C)   Share Certificates . All certificates for Shares or other securities of the Company or any Subsidiary delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other

 


 

      securities are then listed, and any applicable federal, state or foreign laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
  (D)   Withholding . A Participant may be required to pay to an Employer, and each Employer shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding or other taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.
  (E)   Award Agreements . Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto. An Award shall be effective only upon delivery to a Participant, either electronically or by paper means, of an Award Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.
  (F)   No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements . Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of Options, Restricted Stock, Shares and other types of Awards provided for hereunder.
  (G)   No Right to Employment . The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer. Further, an Employer may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.
  (H)   No Rights as Shareholder . Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until such Shares are issued to such Participant, holder or beneficiary and shall not be entitled to any dividend or distribution the record date of which is prior to the date of such issuance.
  (I)   Governing Law . The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
  (J)   Severability . If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, or becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the 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 or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
  (K)   Other Laws . The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation (including applicable non-U.S. laws or regulations) or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder, or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with

 


 

      all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal or non-U.S. securities laws and any other laws to which such offer, if made, would be subject.
  (L)   No Trust or Fund Created . Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
  (M)   No Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.
  (N)   Headings . Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
  (O)   Binding Effect . The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participants and their legal representatives, and shall bind any successor of the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations hereunder, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
  (P)   No Third Party Beneficiaries . Except as expressly provided herein or therein, neither the Plan nor any Award Agreement shall confer on any person other than the Company and the grantee of any Award any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder. The exculpation and indemnification provisions of Section 3(E) shall inure to the benefit of a Covered Person’s estate and beneficiaries and legatees.
  (Q)   Additional Transfer Restrictions . No transfer or an Award by a grantee by will or by laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.
  (R)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, specifically including, but not limited to, Section 3(A)(v), (vii), (ix) and (x) and Section 14, with respect to any Deferred Compensation Award:
(i) Neither the Company nor the Committee may accelerate the time or form of payment of any benefit due to the Participant hereunder unless such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4); and
(ii) Neither the Company nor the Committee may delay the time for payment of any benefit due to the Participant hereunder except to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(7).
The provisions of this Subsection (R) shall apply only to Awards made after October 16, 2007.
  (S)   All references herein to Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4) shall be to such regulation as amended from time to time or to any successor provision. The foregoing provisions of this Plan as amended are intended to cause the Plan to conform with the requirements of a plan providing only for short-term deferrals as provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the provisions of this Plan as amended shall be construed in accordance with that intention. If any provision of this Plan shall be inconsistent or in conflict with any applicable requirements for a short-term deferral plan, then such requirement shall be

 


 

      deemed to override and supersede the inconsistent or conflicting provision. Any required provision of a short-term deferral plan that is omitted from this Plan shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall apply retroactively, if necessary, and be deemed to be a part of this Plan to the same extent as though expressly set forth herein. The Company will bear no responsibility for any determination by any other person or persons that the terms, arrangements or administration of the Plan has given rise to any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Subsection (S) shall apply only to Awards made after October 16, 2007.
  (T)   Forfeiture and Reimbursement in the Context of a Restatement .
(i) In the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial statements and to the extent permitted by governing law, the Company reserves the right (and in certain cases may have the legal duty) to cause or seek the forfeiture of all or any portion of any Performance Award held by any Participant, and/or the reimbursement by any Participant to the Company of all or any portion of any Performance Award paid (as defined in paragraph (ii) below) to the Participant, for any Performance Award having any performance period beginning on or after January 1, 2008 where:
  a)   the amount or payment of the Performance Award was predicated upon the achievement of financial results of the Company (including any financial reporting segment or unit) or any Subsidiary that were subsequently the subject of a material restatement; and
 
  b)   the Board or the Committee concludes in good faith that the Participant engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that was a material cause of the need for the restatement; and
 
  c)   a lower payment or no payment would have been made to the Participant based directly or indirectly upon the restated financial results.
(ii) For the purposes of this Section a Performance Award is “paid” when, among other things, any one or more of the following occur: the Award results in a cash payment to or for the benefit of the Participant; the Award results in shares issued or delivered to the Participant; or the Award results in an increase in a deferral account of the Participant or otherwise results in any credit for the account or benefit of the Participant. “Payment” may occur, among other things, in connection with an exercise of the Award, the vesting of the Award, the delivery of share certificates to the Participant, or the crediting of shares to a Participant’s deferral, brokerage, or other account. The amount “paid” is the amount of dollars or shares or both that is so paid, issued, delivered, increased, or credited. Shares and share units “paid” include all proceeds from those shares, including any cash, stock, or stock unit dividends related to those shares or units, as well as shares or share units from stock splits related to those shares or units. Any Performance Award earned and deferred and any Performance Award payments that are earned and deferred for any reason are subject to this Section as having been “paid,” along with all dividends, dividend equivalents, interest, shares, and other amounts earned upon or that are proceeds of the amount or shares deferred. However, if the Participant elects to invest deferred amounts in a manner that results in a loss, the Participant nevertheless may be required to reimburse to the Company the full amount of the Performance Award (measured in dollars or shares, as applicable at the time originally earned) if the conditions of this Section are met.
(iii) For the purposes of this Section, all amounts paid shall be calculated on a gross basis regardless of the net amount remitted to the Participant. For example, if a Participant’s Performance Award pays $1,000 gross and, after withholding for taxes and all other reasons, $750 net is remitted directly to the Participant in cash, then under this Section the Company may seek

 


 

reimbursement of all or any portion of the $1,000 gross amount, provided that the conditions set forth above are met.
(iv) For purposes of this Section, examples of lowering or eliminating a payment based on restated financial results include, among other things: (a) the payment would have been lower or eliminated directly by application of a performance goal based in whole or part on a performance measure that incorporates or is adversely affected by the restated financial results; and (b) the payment would have been lower or eliminated through the exercise of discretion by the Committee if the Committee had known the restated financial results at the time the discretion was exercised.
(v) Any of the Board, the Committee, the Chairman of the Committee, the Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer, acting singly based on any good faith suspicion that the conditions of this Section above might be met, may halt and suspend payment of any Performance Award (including payment of any amount deferred in connection with any Performance Award and any earnings thereon or proceeds thereof) until the Board or Committee has investigated, considered, and acted upon the matter hereunder. Any such suspension shall be without interest owed to the Participant if it is later determined that any payment should be made to the Participant after all.
(vi) All Performance Awards under this Plan having any performance period beginning on or after January 1, 2008 are granted and paid subject to the conditions, and the risk of later reimbursement, imposed by this Section. No payment of any Performance Award, whether or not following a suspension, shall operate to waive or diminish the Company’s right to seek reimbursement under this Section.
(vii) If the Board acts under this Section, any member of the Board that is a Participant shall recuse him- or herself from participating in the matter as a Board member.
SECTION 16 — Term of the Plan
  (A)   Effective Date . The Plan shall be effective as of the date it has been approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”).
  (B)   Expiration Date . No new Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted hereunder may, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, modify, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award shall, continue after the authority for grant of new Awards hereunder has been exhausted.

(Adopted October 20, 1999; Amended and Restated April 14, 2008)
1. Purpose . The 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) of First Horizon National Corporation and any successor thereto (the “Company”), is designed to enable employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to obtain a proprietary interest in the Company, and thus to share in the future success of the Company’s business. Accordingly, the Plan is intended as a further means not only of attracting and retaining outstanding personnel, but also of promoting a closer identity of interest between employees and shareholders.
2. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
(a) “Cause” shall mean (i) a grantee’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere (or similar plea) to, (A) a misdemeanor charge involving fraud, false statements or misleading omissions, wrongful taking, embezzlement, bribery, forgery, counterfeiting or extortion, (B) a felony charge or (C) an equivalent charge to those in clauses (A) and (B) in jurisdictions which do not use those designations; (ii) the engaging by a grantee in any conduct which constitutes an employment disqualification under applicable law (including statutory disqualification as defined under the Exchange Act); (iii) a grantee’s failure to perform his or her duties to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (iv) a grantee’s violation of any securities or commodities laws, any rules or regulations issued pursuant to such laws, or the rules and regulations of any securities or commodities exchange or association of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates is a member; (v) a grantee’s violation of any policy of the Company or its Subsidiaries concerning hedging or confidential or proprietary information, or a Participant’s material violation of any other policy of the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect from time to time; (vi) the engaging by a grantee in any act or making any statement which impairs, impugns, denigrates, disparages or negatively reflects upon the name, reputation or business interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries; or (vii) the engaging by the grantee in any conduct detrimental to the Company or its Subsidiaries. The determination as to whether Cause has occurred shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii));

3. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon approval at a shareholder meeting by the holders of a majority of the shares of Company common stock present, or represented, at such meeting and entitled to vote on the Plan. No options may be granted under the Plan after the month and day in the year 2010 corresponding to the day before the month and day on which the Plan becomes effective. The term of options granted on or before such date may, however, extend beyond that date, but no incentive stock options may be granted which are exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date of the grant.
4. Shares Subject to the Plan.
  (a)   The Company may grant options under the Plan authorizing the issuance of no more than 1,500,000 shares of its $0.625 par value (adjusted for any stock splits) common stock, which will be provided from shares purchased in the open market or privately or by the issuance of previously authorized but unissued shares. For purposes of computing the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, if shares are tendered in payment of all or a portion of the exercise price, then the number of shares issued in connection with such exercise is the number of shares subject to option that was exercised, net of the number tendered in payment.
 
  (b)   Shares as to which options previously granted under this Plan shall for any reason lapse shall be restored to the total number available for grant of options.
5. Plan Administration.
  (a)   The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee (the “Committee”) whose members shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, all members shall be directors and shall meet the definitional requirements for “non-employee director” (with any exceptions therein permitted) contained in the then current SEC Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision.
 
  (b)   The Committee shall adopt such rules of procedure as it may deem proper.
 
  (c)   The powers of the Committee shall include plenary authority to interpret the Plan, and subject to the provisions hereof, to determine the persons to whom options shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the terms and term of the option, and the date on which options shall be granted.

 


 

6. Eligibility.
  (a)   Options may be granted under the Plan to employees of the Company or any subsidiary selected by the Committee. Determination by the Committee of the employees to whom options shall be granted shall be conclusive.
 
  (b)   An individual may receive more than one option, subject, however, to the following limitations: (i) in the case of an incentive stock option (as described in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the options are granted) of the Company = s common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year by any individual employee (under this Plan and all other similar plans of the Company and its subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000, and (ii) the maximum number of shares with respect to which options are granted to an individual during the term of the Plan, as defined in Section 3 hereof, shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares. Incentive stock options granted hereunder shall be clearly identified as such at the time of grant.
7. Option Price. The option price per share to be paid by the grantee to the Company upon exercise of the option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted, nor shall the price per share be less than the par value of the share. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the option price per share may be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted if:
  (a)   The grantee of the option has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the grant of the option (which must be a non-qualified option and not an incentive stock option) is in lieu of the payment of compensation; and
 
  (b)   The amount of such compensation when added to the cash exercise price of the option equals at least 100% of the fair market value (at the time the option is granted) of the shares subject to option.
“Fair market value” for purposes of the Plan shall be the mean between the high and low sales prices at which shares of the Company were sold on the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation day or, if there were no sales on that day, then on the last day prior to the valuation day during which there were sales. In the event that this method of valuation is not practicable, then the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish the method by which fair market value shall be determined.
8. Terms or Quotas of Options:
  (a)   Term. Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable only during a term (the “Term of the Option”) commencing one year, or such other period of time (which may be less than or more than one year) as is determined to be appropriate by the Committee, after the date when the option was granted and ending (unless the option shall have terminated earlier under other provisions of the Plan) on a date to be fixed by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each option granted under the Plan prior to April 14, 2008 shall become exercisable in full immediately upon a Change in Control. Upon a Qualifying Termination following a Change in Control, all outstanding options granted on and following April 14, 2008 shall vest, become immediately exercisable or payable or have all restrictions lifted, as the case may be. In addition, an option agreement or grant notice, or an individual agreement between the Participant and the Company, may provide for additional benefits to the Participant upon a Change in Control.
 
  (b)   Quotas. The Committee shall have authority to grant options exercisable in full at any time during their term, or exercisable in quotas. Quotas or portions thereof not purchased in earlier periods shall be cumulated and be available for purchase in later periods. In exercising an option, the grantee may purchase less than the full quota available to him or her.
 
  (c)   Exercise of Stock Options. Stock options shall be exercised by delivering, mailing, or transmitting to the Committee or its designee (for all purposes under the Plan, in the absence of an express designation by the Committee, the Company = s Executive Vice President-Employee Services is deemed to be the Committee = s designee) the following items:

 


 

     (i) A notice, in the form and by the method (which may include use of a telephone or other means of electronic communication) and at times prescribed by the Committee, specifying the number of shares to be purchased; and
     (ii) A check or money order payable to the Company for the full option price.
In addition, the Committee in its sole discretion may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay, or make partial payment of, the option price with shares of Company common stock in lieu of cash. In addition, in its sole discretion the Committee may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay for any shares subject to an option by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions (which may be by the use of a telephone or other means of electronic communication) to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price (a “cashless exercise”). To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The value of Company common stock surrendered in payment of the exercise price shall be its fair market value, determined pursuant to Section 7, on the date of exercise. Upon receipt of such notice of exercise of a stock option and upon payment of the option price by a method other than a cashless exercise, the Company shall promptly deliver to the grantee (or, in the event the grantee has executed a deferral agreement, the Company shall deliver to the grantee at the time specified in such deferral agreement) a certificate or certificates for the shares purchased, without charge to him or her for issue or transfer tax.
  (d)   Postponements. The Committee may postpone any exercise of an option for such period of time as the Committee in its discretion reasonably believes necessary to prevent any acts or omissions that the Committee reasonably believes will be or will result in the violation of any state or federal law; and the Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan or the terms of any prior grant of an option to recognize the exercise of an option or to sell or issue shares during the period of such postponement.
  (i)   For all options granted under this Plan prior to October 16, 2007, any such postponement shall automatically extend the time within which the option may be exercised, as follows: the exercise period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of days of the postponement, but in no event shall the exercise period be extended beyond the last day of the postponement for more days than there were remaining in the option exercise period on the first day of the postponement.
 
  (ii)   For all options granted under this Plan on or after October 16, 2007, the Committee shall promptly terminate the postponement as soon as, in the reasonable belief of the Committee, the exercise of an option would no longer result in a violation of state or federal law. The exercise period for any option outstanding at the commencement of any postponement shall expire upon the later of (x) thirty (30) days after the Committee terminates the postponement or (y) the date that the option would otherwise expire in accordance with its terms.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, nor any of their respective directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the grantee of an option or to a successor with respect to any shares as to which the option shall lapse because of such postponement.
  (e)   Non-Transferability. All options granted under the Plan shall be non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, subject to Section 10 hereof, and an option may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee only by him or her or by his/her guardian or legal representative.
 
  (f)   Certificates. The stock certificate or certificates to be delivered under this Plan may, at the request of the grantee, be issued in his or her name or, with the consent of the Company, as specified by the grantee.
 
  (g)   Restrictions. This subsection (g) shall be void and of no legal effect in the event of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in any other section or subsection herein to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all options (except options designated by the Committee as FirstShare options), exercises and grantees. An amount equal to the spread realized in connection

 


 

      with the exercise of an option within six months prior to a grantee’s Voluntary Resignation shall be paid to the Company by the grantee in the event that the grantee, within six months following Voluntary Resignation, engages, directly or indirectly, in any activity determined by the Committee to be competitive with any activity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
 
  (h)   Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to amounts payable or shares deliverable under the Plan, and the Company may defer making payment or delivery of any benefits under the Plan if any tax is payable until indemnified to its satisfaction. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules which it may adopt, permit a grantee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any federal, state and local withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of a stock option by electing either:
     (i) to have the Company withhold shares of Company common stock from the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the option;
     (ii) to permit a grantee to tender back shares of Company common stock issued upon the exercise of an option; or
     (iii) to deliver to the Company previously owned shares of Company common stock, having, in the case of (i), (ii), or (iii), a fair market value equal to the amount of the federal, state, and local withholding tax associated with the exercise of the option.
  (i)   Additional Provisions Applicable to Option Agreements in Lieu of Compensation. If the Committee, in its discretion permits participants to enter into agreements as contemplated by Section 7 herein, then such agreements must be irrevocable and cannot be changed by the participant once made, and such agreements must be made at least prior to the performance of any services with respect to which an option may be granted. If any participant who enters into such an agreement terminates employment prior to the grant of the option, then the option will not be granted and all compensation which would have been covered by the option will be paid to the participant in cash.
9. Exercise of Option by Grantee on Cessation of Employment.
  (a)   If a person to whom an option has been granted shall cease, for a reason other than his or her death, Disability, Early Retirement, Retirement, Workforce Reduction, or Voluntary Resignation, to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary, the option shall terminate three months after the cessation of employment, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Until the option terminates, it may be exercised by the grantee for all or a portion of the shares as to which the right to purchase had accrued under the Plan at the time of cessation of employment, subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions provided in Section 8 hereof. If a person to whom an option has been granted shall retire or become disabled, the option shall terminate three years (unless the option was granted in lieu of compensation, in which case it shall be five years) after the date of Early Retirement, Retirement or Disability, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise by a retiree or disabled grantee is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of Early Retirement, Retirement or Disability, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. If a person shall voluntarily resign, his option to the extent not previously exercised shall terminate at once. If the grantee of one or more stock options described in the second sentence of Section 7 of the Plan or as to which the number of shares awarded was based on a formula which included a percentage of the grantee = s annual bonus or target bonus or participation in a bonus plan shall cease to be employed as a result of a Workforce Reduction, then each of such stock options shall terminate on the date specified by the Committee, not to exceed five years after the date of termination, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of termination, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. If the grantee of one or more stock options not described in the prior two sentences of this paragraph shall cease to be employed as a result of a Workforce Reduction, then each of such stock options shall terminate on the date specified by the Committee, not to exceed three years after the date of termination, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan.

 


 

      Although such exercise is not limited to exercise rights which had accrued at the date of termination, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof.
 
  (b)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9(a) and 10, if an option holder’s employment has terminated for any reason or if the option holder has died, the Committee is authorized to extend the exercise period of any such holder’s outstanding options so as to allow the option holder or his or her successor, as applicable, to exercise the affected options at any time during the original full Term of the Option, or at any time during any shorter period selected by the Committee. The discretion afforded the Committee herein may be exercised on a case by case basis, or may be exercised in connection with specific groups of options or option holders in specific situations. No exercise of such discretion in one instance shall give rise to any right or expectation of similar treatment by that option holder, or by any other option holder, in any other similar situation.
10. Exercise of Option After Death of Grantee. If the grantee of an option shall die while in the employ of the Company or within three months after ceasing to be an employee, and if the option was in effect at the time of his or her death (whether or not its term had then commenced), the option may, until the expiration of three years (unless the option was granted in lieu of compensation, in which case it shall be five years) from the date of death of the grantee or until the earlier expiration of the term of the option, be exercised by the successor of the deceased grantee. Although such exercise is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of death of the grantee, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. The provisions of this Section 10 shall be subject to the Committee’s discretion exercised pursuant to Section 9(b) above.
11. Pyramiding of Options. The Committee in its sole discretion may from time to time permit the method of exercising options known as pyramiding (the automatic application of shares received upon the exercise of a portion of a stock option to satisfy the exercise price for additional portions of the option).
12. Shareholder Rights. No person shall have any rights of a shareholder by virtue of a stock option except with respect to shares actually issued to him or her, and issuance of shares shall confer no retroactive right to dividends.
13. Adjustment for Changes in Capitalization. Any increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company occurring through stock splits or stock dividends after the adoption of the Plan shall be reflected proportionately:
  (a)   in an increase in the aggregate number of shares then available for the grant of options under the Plan, or becoming available through the termination or forfeiture of options previously granted but unexercised;
 
  (b)   in the number available to grant to any one person;
 
  (c)   in the number subject to options then outstanding; and
 
  (d)   in the quotas remaining available for exercise under outstanding options,
and a proportionate reduction shall be made in the per-share option price as to any outstanding options or portions thereof not yet exercised. Any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated. If changes in capitalization other than those considered above shall occur, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the number and class of shares for which options may thereafter be granted, and in the number and class of shares remaining subject to options previously granted and in the per-share option price as the Board in its discretion may consider appropriate, and all such adjustments shall be conclusive; provided, however, that the Board shall not make any adjustments with respect to the number of shares subject to previously granted incentive stock options or available for grant as options if such adjustment would constitute the adoption of a new plan requiring shareholder approval before further incentive stock options could be granted.
14. Termination, Suspension, or Modification of Plan. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate, suspend, or modify the Plan, except that the Board of Directors shall not amend the Plan in violation of law. No termination, suspension, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any right acquired by any grantee, or by any successor of a grantee (as provided in Section 10 hereof), under the terms of an option granted before the date of such termination, suspension, or modification, unless such grantee or successor shall consent, but it shall be

 


 

conclusively presumed that any adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 13 does not adversely affect any such right.
15. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its shares under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.
16. No Right to Employment. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any stock option shall confer upon the grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time.
17 Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.
18. Successors . This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The term “Company,” as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan.

 

 

Exhibit 10.3
FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION
2002 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated April 14, 2008)
Article I – Purpose
Section 1.1 The purpose of the Plan is to provide a financial incentive for key executives to encourage and reward desired performance on key financial measures that will further the growth, development and financial success of the Company and to enhance the Company’s ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting and retaining qualified key personnel who contribute, and are expected to contribute, materially to the success of the Company. The Plan is designed to replace the existing First Tennessee National Corporation Management Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, and to ensure that awards paid pursuant to this Plan to eligible employees of the Company are tax deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This Plan shall be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval pursuant to 26 C.F.R. § 1.162.27(e)(4)(vi) at the annual meeting to be held on April 16, 2002, and shall be effective for the 2002 fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2002. If the shareholders do not approve the Plan, the Plan shall not become effective.
Article II – Definitions
Section 2.1 Whenever the following terms are used in this Plan, they shall have the meaning specified below unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine and neuter and the singular shall include the plural, where the context so indicates.

  (ii)   any “Person” (as defined under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a “Subsidiary”), (B) by an employee stock

 


 

      ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii) hereof);
 
  (iii)   the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or

Article III – Plan Administration
Section 3.1 Subject to the authority and powers of the Board in relation to the Plan as hereinafter provided, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee designated by the Board. The Committee shall have full authority to interpret the Plan and from time to time to adopt such rules and regulations not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the Committee may not exercise any authority otherwise granted to it hereunder if such action would have the effect of increasing the amount of any Award payable hereunder to any Covered Officer. All determinations by the Committee shall be made by the affirmative vote of a majority of those members present at a meeting duly called and held at which a quorum exists, but any determination reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully as effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. All designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions of the Committee under or with respect to the provisions of the Plan or any Award and all orders or resolutions of the Board pursuant thereto shall be final,

 


 

conclusive and binding on all persons, including but not limited to the Participants, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective equity holders, heirs, successors and personal representatives.
Section 3.2 The Committee, on behalf of the Participants, shall enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms and shall have all powers necessary for the accomplishment of that purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the following powers:
  (a)   To select the Participants;
 
  (b)   To select the Performance Measures to be used for purposes of setting the Performance Goals for a Performance Period;

  (f)   To prescribe forms to be used and procedures to be followed by Participants for the administration of the Plan; and
 
  (g)   To establish the terms and conditions of any agreement or instrument under which an Award may be earned and paid.
Article IV – Participation
Section 4.1 Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time select any Employee who is a senior officer of the Company or of any Subsidiary to be granted Awards under the Plan. Eligible Employees hired by the Company after the commencement of a Performance Period may receive an Award for the Performance Period which commenced in the fiscal year in which the Employee became employed by the Company, if any is payable under the terms of the Plan, and the Employee is selected by the Committee to participate in the Plan at the time the Employee is employed by the Company. Such Award may be paid in full or may be prorated based on the number of full months in the Performance Period the Participant was employed by the Company, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee. No Employee shall at any time have the right (a) to be selected as a Participant in the Plan for any Performance Period, (b) if selected as a Participant in the Plan, to be entitled to an Award, or (c) if selected as a Participant in one Performance Period, to be selected as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period.
Article V – Awards
Section 5.1 The Committee may make Awards to Participants with respect to each Performance Period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Unless specified otherwise by the Committee, the amount payable pursuant to an Award shall be based on a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation, with the Target Award set for attaining 100% of the Performance Goal for any Performance Period.
Section 5.2 The Committee shall establish in writing the Performance Goals for the selected Performance Measures applicable to a Performance Period, including the Threshold Performance and Superior Performance, within 90 days of the commencement of the Performance Period and an Award for that Performance Period shall be earned, paid, vested or otherwise deliverable upon the completion of the Performance Period only if such Performance Goals are attained and the applicable employment requirement in Section 6.2(c) is satisfied.
Section 5.3 Performance Goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Participant or the Subsidiary, operating unit, division, line of business, department, team, business unit or function within the Company or Subsidiary in which the Participant is employed, and may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on Company internal targets, the past performance of the Company and/or the past or current performance of other

 


 

companies, the performance of other companies over one or more years, or an index of the performance of other companies, markets or economic metrics over one or more years, and in the case of earnings-based measures, may use or employ comparisons relating to capital, shareholders’ equity and/or Common Stock outstanding, or to assets or net assets.
Section 5.4 The degree to which the Company achieves the Performance Goals established by the Committee for a Performance Period shall serve as the basis for the Committee’s determination of the Award payable to a Participant upon the completion of the Performance Period. Awards will be prorated for Company performance results occurring between stated performance levels. Company performance below the Threshold Performance will result in no Award payments for that Performance Period. The Award payable for the attainment of Superior Performance shall not exceed two and one-half times the Target Award for any Performance Period.
Section 5.5 With respect to any Covered Officer during any Performance Period, the maximum amount of any Award is $4,000,000.
Section 5.6 Except in the case of Performance Goals related to an Award intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, if the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the Performance Goals and/or Performance Measures established for any Performance Period unsuitable, the Committee, after the commencement of a Performance Period, may modify such Performance Measures and/or Performance Goals, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable.
Article VI – Payment of Awards
Section 6.1 Upon completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall review Company performance results as compared to the established Performance Goals for that Performance Period, and shall certify (either by written consent or as evidenced by the minutes of a meeting) the specified Performance Goals achieved for the Performance Period (if any) and direct which Award payments, if any, are payable under the Plan. No payment shall be made if the Threshold Performance for the Performance Period is not met. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reduce or eliminate a Participant’s Award that would have been otherwise paid, including without limitation by reference to a Participant’s failure to achieve his or her Personal Plan Goals.
Section 6.2 The Committee shall have the sole and absolute authority and discretion to determine the time and manner in which Awards, if any, shall be paid under this Plan; provided, however, such discretion may not be exercisable in any manner which would cause the payment of an Award not to satisfy the requirements for a short-term deferral under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Generally, however, the following provisions may apply:
     (a) Form of Payment: Payment of Awards may be made in a single-sum in cash.
     (b) Date of Payment: Payment of Awards shall be made as soon as practicable (as determined by the Committee) following the close of the Performance Period (the “Payment Date”), but except as expressly provided herein, payment of Awards shall be made on or before the 15 th day of the 3 rd month following the end of the fiscal year of the Company that coincides with the end of the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
     (i) To the extent permissible under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii), the Payment Date may be delayed within the discretion of the Committee on the following grounds:
  (A)   It is administratively impracticable to make the payment by the regular Payment Date due to unforeseeable reasons;
 
  (B)   The payment would jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

 


 

  (C)   The payment is reasonably anticipated not to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code due to circumstances that a reasonable person would not have anticipated; or
 
  (D)   Such other grounds as may be from time to time permissible under the foregoing regulation;
Provided, however, any delayed payment shall be made within the period required under the foregoing regulation.
     (ii) Section 6.2(c)(iii) shall control the date or dates of the Payment of Awards to the extent applicable.
     (c) Employment Required: Except as provided below, Participants must be Employees on the Payment Date in order to receive payment of an Award.
     (i) Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability during a Performance Period: If, during a Performance Period, a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries is due to the Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability of the Participant, the Participant (or his beneficiary, as the case may be) shall nonetheless receive payment of an Award, if any, after the close of the Performance Period based upon the Performance Goals actually attained by the Company for the Performance Period. The Award, if any, may be paid in full or may be prorated based on the number of full months which have elapsed in the Performance Period as of the date of such Termination of Employment, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee. Payments under this Section 6.2(c)(i) shall be made on the Payment Date.
     (ii) Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability after Last Day of the Performance Period: If a Participant is an Employee on the last day of a Performance Period, but is not an Employee on the Payment Date due to Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability, then the Participant (or his beneficiary, as the case may be) may receive on the Payment Date the full Award earned under the terms of the Plan for the Performance Period, if any. The Award, if any, shall be made on the Payment Date. If a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any other reason other than Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability after the last day of a Performance Period, but before the Payment Date, the Participant (or his beneficiary, as the case may be) will forfeit all rights to any earned but unpaid Awards for that Performance Period under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may, at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion, authorize a full or partial payment of any earned but unpaid Awards under the Plan.
     (iii) Change in Control: In the event the terms of any agreement entered into by and between the Company and a Participant governs the payment of any Award granted hereunder following a Change in Control, then the payment of such Award shall be governed by the terms and conditions of such agreement and not of this Plan. If the payment of any Award granted hereunder following a Change in Control is not otherwise provided for by the terms of an agreement by and between the Company and a Participant, then the payment of such Award following a Change in Control shall be governed by this Section 6.2(c)(iii). Unless otherwise provided under the terms of an agreement between the Participant and the Company, a Participant shall receive an Award equal to the Target Award the Participant would have received for the Performance Period if the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated during a Performance Period in which there has been a Change in Control, and the Target Award in such event shall be prorated based upon the number of full months which have elapsed in the Performance Period as of the date of such Termination of Employment. If a Participant’s employment is terminated following a Performance Period in which there was a Change in Control, but before the Payment Date for that Performance Period, the Participant shall receive the full amount of any Award earned but not yet paid for that Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment of an Award shall be made later than the date required under Section 6.2(b).

 


 

Section 6.3 The Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may decrease the amount payable pursuant to an Award, but in no event shall the Committee have discretion to increase the amount payable to any Covered Officer pursuant to an Award in a manner inconsistent with the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Goals and Awards, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Code Section 162(m) applicable to qualified performance-based compensation, and the Committee in establishing such Performance Goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions.
Article VII – Shares Available for Awards
Section 7.1 Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or paid in respect of any Awards under the Plan.
Article VIII – Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination of the Plan
Section 8.1 The Board may at any time terminate or suspend the Plan, in whole or in part, and from time to time, subject to the shareholder approval requirements of Section 162(m), amend or modify the Plan, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously earned but not yet paid to such Participant without the consent of such Participant. In the event of such termination, in whole or in part, of the Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion direct the payment to Participants of any amount specified in Article VI and theretofore not paid out, prior to the Payment Date, and in a lump sum on installments as the Committee shall prescribe with respect to each such Participant; provided, however, such payments shall in all events be made within the period permissible for short-term deferrals under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment to a Covered Officer must be discounted to reflect the present value of such payment using a rate equal to the discount rate in effect under the First Horizon National Corporation Pension Plan, as amended from time to time, on the date of such payment. The Board may at any time and from time to time delegate to the Committee any or all of its authority under this Article VIII to the extent permitted by law.
Article IX – General Provisions
Section 9.1 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the Agreement, no Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Section 9.1 shall be null and void. A Participant may designate in writing a beneficiary (including the trustee or trustees of a trust) who shall upon the death of such Participant be entitled to receive all amounts payable under the provisions of Section 6.2(c) to such Participant. A Participant may rescind or change any such designation at any time.
Section 9.2 The Company shall have the right to withhold applicable taxes from any Award payment and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes.
Section 9.3 No Employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under this Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving an Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or an Employer and the right of the Company or Employer to dismiss or discharge any such Participant is specifically reserved. The benefits provided for Participants under the Plan shall be in addition to, and shall in no way preclude, other forms of compensation to or in respect of such Participants. No Participant shall have any lien on any assets of the Company or any Employer by reason of any Award made under this Plan.
Section 9.4 The payment of all or any portion of the Awards payable to a Participant under this Plan may be deferred by the Participant, subject to such terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.

 


 

Section 9.5 This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
Section 9.6 The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participants and their legal representatives, and shall bind any successor of the Company, as well as its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations hereunder, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
Section 9.7 This Plan shall expire on December 31, 2012, and no new Awards shall be granted under the Plan after that date.
Section 9.8 (a) In the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial statements and to the extent permitted by governing law, the Company reserves the right (and in certain cases may have the legal duty) to cause or seek the forfeiture of all or any portion of any Award held by any Participant, and/or the reimbursement by any Participant to the Company of all or any portion of any Award paid (including any Award earned and deferred) to the Participant, for any Award having any Performance Period beginning on or after January 1, 2008 where:
     (i) the amount or payment of the Award was predicated upon the achievement of financial results of the Company (including any financial reporting segment or unit) or any Subsidiary that were subsequently the subject of a material restatement; and
     (ii) the Board or the Committee concludes in good faith that the Participant engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that was a material cause of the need for the restatement; and
     (iii) a lower payment or no payment would have been made to the Participant based directly or indirectly upon the restated financial results.
     (b) Award payments that are earned and deferred for any reason are subject to this Section as having been paid, along with all interest and other amounts earned upon the amount deferred. However, if the Participant elects to invest deferred amounts in a manner that results in a loss, the Participant nevertheless may be required to reimburse to the Company the full amount of the Award if the conditions of this Section are met.
     (c) For the purposes of this Section, all amounts paid shall be calculated on a gross basis regardless of the net amount remitted to the Participant. For example, if a Participant’s Award pays $1,000 gross and, after withholding for taxes and all other reasons, $750 net is remitted directly to the Participant in cash, then under this Section the Company may seek reimbursement of all or any portion of the $1,000 gross amount, provided that the conditions set forth above are met.
     (d) For purposes of this Section, examples of lowering or eliminating a payment based on restated financial results include, among other things: (i) the payment would have been lower or eliminated directly by application of a Performance Goal based in whole or part on a Performance Measure that incorporates or is adversely affected by the restated financial results; and (ii) the payment would have been lower or eliminated through the exercise of discretion by the Committee if the Committee had known the restated financial results at the time the discretion was exercised.
     (e) Any of the Board, the Committee, the Chairman of the Committee, the Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer, acting singly based on any good faith suspicion that the conditions of this Section above might be met, may halt and suspend payment of any Award (including payment of any amount deferred in connection with any Award and any earnings thereon) until the Board or Committee has investigated, considered, and acted upon the matter hereunder. Any such suspension shall be without interest owed to the Participant if it is later determined that any payment should be made to the Participant after all.

 


 

     (f) All Awards under this Plan having any Performance Period beginning on or after January 1, 2008 are granted and paid subject to the conditions, and the risk of later reimbursement, imposed by this Section. No payment of any Award, whether or not following a suspension, shall operate to waive or diminish the Company’s right to seek reimbursement under this Section.
     (g) If the Board acts under this Section, any member of the Board that is a Participant shall recuse him- or herself from participating in the matter as a Board member.
Section 9.9 All references herein to Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4) shall be to such regulation as amended from time to time or to any successor provision. The foregoing provisions of this Plan as amended are intended to cause the Plan to conform with the requirements of a plan providing only for short-term deferrals as provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the provisions of this Plan as amended shall be construed in accordance with that intention. If any provision of this Plan shall be inconsistent or in conflict with any applicable requirements for a short-term deferral plan, then such requirement shall be deemed to override and supersede the inconsistent or conflicting provision. Any required provision of a short-term deferral plan that is omitted from this Plan shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall apply retroactively, if necessary, and be deemed to be a part of this Plan to the same extent as though expressly set forth herein. The Company will bear no responsibility for any determination by any other person or persons that the terms, arrangements or administration of the Plan has given rise to any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code.

     (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 60% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least two-thirds ( b ) of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or
     (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

Additionally, as used herein, “Claim” shall include, but is not limited to, any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding arising out of or alleging negligence on the part of the Indemnitee. Moreover, Claim shall include, but is not limited to, any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, in any way arising out of or alleging any act, error or omission by the Indemnitee as a controlling person of, or as part of a controlling group with respect to, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, under any statute, regulation, doctrine, theory, or principle in which liability may be conferred upon a controlling person or group, a person or group exercising control, or any similar status, provided, however, that such control or controlling status derives from or relates to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or is or was serving at the request of Corporation or any of its subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, political action committee, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.

2.  Basic Indemnification .
     Subject to the limitations provided in the following sentence and Section 3 herein, Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee in connection with any Claim against any and all Expenses and Losses to the maximum extent permitted (or not prohibited) by law and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance Expenses as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 30 days after written demand is presented to Corporation. Except as set forth in Section 4 herein, Indemnitee will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any director or officer of it or of any of its subsidiaries except for a Claim in which Corporation has joined or the initiation of which the Corporation has consented to. In connection with any determination by Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under any provision of this Agreement, the burden of proof shall be on Corporation to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.
3.  Limitations on Indemnification .
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (except for any additional rights contemplated by Section l0(b) herein), the obligations of Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee under Section 2 shall be subject to the condition that Reviewing Party shall not have determined that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. Corporation is obligated to advance Expenses within the time period specified in Section 2 herein unless, during such time period and prior to Expense advancement, Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law. If Expenses are advanced and Reviewing Party subsequently determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, Corporation shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse Corporation) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, if Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding, and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse Corporation for any Expenses advanced until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed. If there has been no determination by Reviewing Party or Expenses are not advanced within the time frame provided in Section 2 or if Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the state of Tennessee having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and Corporation hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on Corporation and Indemnitee. Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in any such legal proceeding.
4.  Indemnification for Additional Expenses .

 


 

Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses, and obligations of the same sort as contemplated by Section l(c)) and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance such expenses to Indemnitee within 30 days after written demand is presented to Corporation, which expenses are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted against or claim or action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by Corporation under this Agreement or for recovery under any directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained by Corporation, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, expense advance or insurance recovery. [Note: The expenses provided in Section 4, which are not repayable to Corporation, are different from the Expenses permitted in Section 2, which must be repaid to Corporation in the situation described in Section 3.]
5.  Insurance .
     To the extent Corporation maintains insurance policies providing directors and officers liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies, in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Corporation director or officer.
6.  Change in Control .
     Corporation agrees that if there is a Change in Control, then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Corporation Charter or Bylaw provision now in effect or hereafter adopted relating to Claims, Corporation shall seek legal advice only from special, independent counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by Corporation (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to Corporation and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. Corporation agrees to pay the fees of the special, independent counsel referred to above and fully to indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses and losses of the same sort as contemplated by Sections l(c) and l(d) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
7.  Creation of Trust .
     In the event of a Change in Control or if the Board determines that a Change in Control is imminent, Corporation shall (and the appropriate officers of Corporation are hereby authorized and directed to take all action deemed necessary or desirable in connection herewith) upon the written request of Indemnitee, create a trust or appropriately amend an existing trust for the benefit of Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund such trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request and any and all Losses from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the trust pursuant to the foregoing shall be determined by Reviewing Party. The trustee shall be chosen by Corporation, but the trustee may not be a party to or interested in a Claim nor may the trustee be any person or entity (or an affiliate thereof) whose direct or indirect ownership of Corporation stock has triggered a Change in Control. Any trust established or amended pursuant hereto shall provide, with respect to the rights and obligations created under this Agreement, that upon a Change in Control (i) the trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded without the

 


 

written consent of Indemnitee, (ii) the trustee shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnitee within thirty days after written demand is presented to the trustee (and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the trust under the circumstances under which Indemnitee would be required to do so under Section 3 herein), (iii) the trust shall continue to be funded by Corporation in accordance with the funding obligations set forth above, (iv) the trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee all amounts for which Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such trust attributable to a Claim, Expense or Loss of Indemnitee shall revert to Corporation upon a final determination by Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under this Agreement. If Section 7(v) would otherwise be applicable, then notwithstanding anything in Section 7(v) to the contrary, at any time a Claim is still pending against a director or officer of Corporation or any of its subsidiaries who has entered into an agreement with Corporation substantially similar to this Agreement, any funds held by the trustee under this Section 7 shall be retained by the trustee until a final determination is made with respect to such Claim and such funds may be used to pay such Claim. Nothing in this Section shall relieve Corporation of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
8.  Partial Indemnity .
     If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses or Losses but not for the total amount thereof, Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
9.  Notification .
     Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Claim with respect to which Indemnitee may seek indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee will notify Corporation of the commencement thereof. The failure of Indemnitee promptly to notify Corporation hereunder shall not, however, relieve Corporation of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent that Corporation was materially prejudiced by such failure to notify promptly. Corporation will be entitled to participate in a Claim at its own expense and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee, unless Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action. Even if Indemnitee concludes that no conflict of interest exists, Indemnitee shall retain the right to employ his or her own counsel and participate in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized or the defense of the Claim is not permitted to be undertaken by Corporation, or (ii) Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume such defense. Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent. Corporation shall not settle any Claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither Corporation nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.

 


 

10. Miscellaneous.
     (a)  Presumptions . For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order or settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
     (b)  Nonexclusive Rights . The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under Corporation’s Charter and Bylaws and the Tennessee Business Corporation Act or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under Corporation’s Charter and Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by virtue of this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.
     (c)  Amendment . No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
     (d)  Subrogation . In the event of payment under this Agreement, Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
     (e)  Duplicate Payment . Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Charter provision, Bylaw, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
     (f)  Binding Effect . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or indirect successor or assign by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Corporation), spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer of Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or of any other entity at Corporation’s request.
     (g)  Severability . The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 


 

     (h)  Headings of Sections . Section and subsection headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
     (i)  Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Corporation has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officers and Indemnitee has duly executed this Agreement, each as of the day first above written.
