I.  INTRODUCTION

	A.		Purpose of Plan . The Employer has adopted the Plan set forth herein to provide benefits in excess of those that may be accrued under the Employer’s qualified retirement plans as a result of the limitations of Code section 401(a)(17) and 415 as a means by which certain designated employees may elect to defer designated portions of their Compensation, or in the discretion of the Employer, receive additional amounts of deferred compensation in the form of Discretionary Credits.
	B.		Status of Plan . To the extent the Plan provides benefits in excess of the limitations of Code section 415, the Plan is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of sections 3(36) and 4(6) of ERISA, and to the extent the Plan provides other benefits, the Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1), and 4021(b)(6) of ERISA, and shall be interpreted and administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

IV. DEFERRALS AND CREDITS

A.

Elective Deferrals .

1.

In general. An individual who is an Eligible Employee may elect to defer a designated portion of Compensation to be earned during a Plan Year, by filing a written election with the Plan Administrator prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which such Compensation is to be earned. An

individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee on or after the first day of any Plan Year may elect to defer a portion of Compensation to be earned during the remainder of the Plan Year and after the written election is filed with the Plan Administrator. The deferred amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date such Compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.

2.

Nature of Election. Each election under this Section IV for a Plan Year (or the balance of a Plan Year) shall be made on a form approved or prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall apply only to Compensation earned for the calendar year after the date the election form is completed and filed with the Plan Administrator. The election form shall apply to bonuses and shall specify the whole percentage or flat dollar amount that is to be deferred. A Participant may revoke his or her deferral election as of the first day of any Plan Year which follows such revocation by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator before that day (or any such earlier date as the Plan Administrator may prescribe). Any deferral election made under this Section IV.A shall continue to be effective until revoked or changed pursuant to this paragraph.

B.

Excess Benefit Credits . The Employer shall credit the Account of each Participant with the excess of any amount that would have been allocated to the Participant’s account under the TSYS Money Purchase Pension Plan (the “Money Purchase Plan”), the TSYS Profit Sharing Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) or the TSYS 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) but for the limitation of Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415 over the amount actually credited to such account; such credits to be made as of the date or dates that the amounts would have been allocated to the Participant’s account under the Money Purchase Plan, the Profit Sharing Plan or the 401(k) Plan.

V. ACCOUNTS

	A.		Accounts . The Plan Administrator shall establish an Account for each Participant reflecting Elective Deferrals or Discretionary Credits made for the Participant’s benefit together with any adjustments hereunder. Subject to Sections V.E and IX.A, the Employer shall deposit the amount of deferrals and credits for a period as soon as practicable after the date as of which such amounts are credited to the Accounts. As of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Participant with a statement of his or her Account reflecting the income, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), amounts of deferrals and credits, and distributions of such Account since the prior Valuation Date.
	B.		Investments . Each Participant’s Account shall be invested in shares of any open-end registered investment company for which Fidelity Investments or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “Fidelity”) serves as investment advisor or for which Fidelity is the principal underwriter, or any other investment option

			selected by the Plan Administrator. If any Participant or beneficiary makes an investment selection, the Employer (or in the event of the establishment of a trust hereunder, the trustee of such trust as directed by the Employer) may follow such investment selection but shall not be legally bound to do so.
	C.		Payments . Each Participant’s Account shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made to or on behalf of the Participant under Article VI as of the date such payment is made.
	D.		Vesting . A Participant will at all times be 100% Vested in the portion of his or her Account attributable to Elective Deferrals. A Participant will be vested in the portion of his or her Account attributable to Excess Benefit Credits from the Profit Sharing Plan or the Money Purchase Pension Plan according to the following schedule, based on his or her years of service with the Employer. A Participant’s years of service for this purpose will be determined by the Administrator pursuant to uniform rules based on the time elapsed since the Participant’s commencement of employment with the Employer or its affiliates.

	E.		Forfeiture of non-Vested Amounts . To the extent that any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account are not Vested at the time the Account becomes distributable under the Plan, such non-Vested amounts shall be forfeited and may be used by the Employer as future Discretionary Credits for other Participants.
	F.		Special Elections . From time to time, Employer may offer Participants the opportunity to exchange all or part of their Accounts to other non-qualified benefits. Any such election shall be evidenced by a separate written agreement between Employer and the Participant that sets forth the details of the election. The Account of each Participant who makes such an election will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the separate written agreement.
	G.		Plan Mergers . From time to time, other non-qualified deferred compensation plans may be merged into the Plan. All Accounts resulting from such merged plans will be 100% vested as of the date of merger. A list of merged plans, together with any special terms and conditions adopted in connection with the merger, is attached to the Plan as Exhibit “A.”

VI. PAYMENTS

	A.		Severe Financial Emergency . A Participant who believes he or she is suffering a severe financial emergency may apply to the Plan Administrator for a distribution under the Plan in order to alleviate such emergency. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion (but after taking into account, among other factors, the nature and foreseeability of the alleged emergency, the Participant’s other resources, and the effect of making a distribution on the intended tax status of the deferrals made under the Plan), may direct the Employer to pay to the Participant an amount which it determines is necessary or appropriate, not to exceed the Vested portion of the Participant’s Account balance, and the Employer shall pay such amount to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment.
	B.		Timing of Distribution . If a Participant elects to have Elective Deferrals made on his or her behalf for any Plan Year (or, if Discretionary Credits will be made on his or her behalf for a Plan Year regardless of whether Elective Deferrals are being made for the Plan Year), the Participant may elect the timing of the payment of all vested amounts credited to his or her Account from one of the following two options:

	1.		the January 1 following a specified date, which must be at least two years after the Plan Year for which the Elective Deferrals or Discretionary Credits are made, or
	2.		as soon as reasonably practical following termination of employment for any reason including retirement or death.

			The foregoing election shall be made on a form approved or prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Each such election may be made or changed in the calendar year prior to the time when the corresponding amounts in the Participant’s Account are payable or otherwise made available to the Participant.
			If no new election is made hereunder with respect to any deferrals or credits, the existing election as to time of payment of such amounts shall remain effective for all amounts deferred and credited thereafter until a new election is made hereunder with respect to future deferrals. If no election is in effect with respect to a portion of a Participant’s Account, payment will be made as soon as reasonably practical following termination of employment for any reason including retirement or death.

C.

Beneficiary Designation . A Participant shall designate a beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive any Vested amounts remaining in the Participant’s Account after his or death. Such designation shall be made in writing on a form approved or prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and may be changed by the Participant at any time. If there is no such designation or no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

D. Form of Payment .

1.

If a Participant elects to have Elective Deferrals made on his or her behalf for any Plan Year (or, if Discretionary Credits will be made on his or her behalf for a Plan Year regardless of whether Elective Deferrals are being made for the Plan Year), the Participant may also elect the form of payment of all Vested amounts credited to his or her Account under one of the following options:

a)

a single lump sum payment; or

b)

annual installments over a period elected by the Participant up to 10 years, the amount of each installment to equal the balance of his or her Account immediately prior to the installment divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid.

			The foregoing election shall be made on a form approved or prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Each such election may be made or changed in the calendar year prior to the time when the corresponding amounts in the Participant’s Account are payable or otherwise made available to the Participant.
			If no new election is made hereunder with respect to any deferrals or credits, the existing election as to form of payment of such amounts shall remain effective for all amounts deferred and credited thereafter until a new election is made hereunder with respect to future deferrals. If no election is in effect with respect to a portion of a Participant’s Account, payment will be made in the form of annual installments for a period of 10 years.
			Payments under this Section shall be made in cash. Any such election shall be made in such form and with such prior notice as the Administrator may require. Regardless of the Participant’s election, if the Participant’s vested Account balance is less than or equal to $100,000, the distribution will be made in a single lump sum payment.

VII. ADMINISTRATION

	A.		Plan Administrator; Interpretation. The Plan Administrator shall oversee the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretionary control and authority to administer all aspects of the Plan, including without limitation the power to appoint agents and counsel, and to determine the rights and benefits and all claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any Participant, beneficiary, deceased Participant, or other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan, in a manner consistent with Section VII.B. The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary power to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Any individual serving as Plan Administrator, or on a committee acting as Plan Administrator, who is a Participant will not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant, a beneficiary, or any other person or entity. The Plan Administrator shall be deemed to be the plan administrator with responsibility for complying with any reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA.
	B.		Claims Procedure .

	1.		In General. If any person believes he or she is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Plan Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90 day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his or her claim.
	2.		Appeals. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within 60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred) such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request

with the Plan Administrator for a review of his or her denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Plan Administrator (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Plan Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60 day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

C.

Indemnification of Plan Administrator . The Employer agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any director, officer or employee of the Employer or any affiliated company who serves as the Plan Administrator or as a member of a committee appointed to serve as Plan Administrator, or who assists the Plan Administrator in carrying out its duties as part of his or her employment (including any such individual who formerly served in any such capacity) against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Employer) occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission is in good faith.

VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	A.		Amendments . The Employer shall have the right to amend the Plan from time to time, subject to Section VIII.C, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on the Employer’s behalf by an officer thereof or by vote of its Board of Directors.
	B.		Termination of Plan . This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Employer and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Eligible Employee (or any other employee) or a consideration for, or an inducement or condition of employment for, the performance of the services by any Eligible Employee (or other employee). The Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to Section VIII.C, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on said Employer’s behalf by an officer thereof or by vote of its Board of Directors.
	C.		Existing Rights . No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to amounts credited to his or her Account that are attributable to Elective Deferrals or Discretionary Credits credited prior to the date of such amendment or termination. Any termination of

the Plan will cause each Participant to be 100% Vested in his or her Account, notwithstanding Section V.D.

D.

Assignment . The rights and obligations of the Employer shall enure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon its successors and assigns.

IX. MISCELLANEOUS

	A.		No Funding . The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employer to make benefit payments to such Participants and beneficiaries in the future and Participants and beneficiaries shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employer. Any Accounts established pursuant to the Plan shall remain the property of the Employer until distributed, and nothing in the Plan will otherwise be construed to create a trust or to obligate the Employer or any other person to segregate a fund, purchase an insurance contract, or in any other way currently to fund the future payment of any benefits hereunder, nor will anything herein be construed to give any employee or any other person rights to any specific assets of the Employer or of any other person. The Employer may, in its sole discretion, create a grantor trust to pay its obligations hereunder, but shall have no obligation to do so. In all events, it is the intent of the Employer that the Plan be treated as unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
	B.		Nonassignability . None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or claims of any Participant or beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of any Participant or beneficiary and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any creditor of such Participant or beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, sell, transfer or assign any of the benefits or payments or proceeds which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan.
	C.		Limitation of Participants’ Rights . Participation in the Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or any right or interest in the Plan other than as herein provided. The Employer reserves the right to dismiss any Eligible Employee without any liability for any claim against the Employer, except to the extent provided herein.
	D.		Receipt and Release . Any payment to any Participant or beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Employer and the Plan Administrator under the Plan, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant or beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. If any Participant or beneficiary is determined by the Plan Administrator to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability (including minority) to give a valid receipt and release, the Plan Administrator may cause the payment or payments becoming due to such person to be made to another person for his or

			her benefit without responsibility on the part of the Plan Administrator or the Employer to follow the application of such funds.
	E.		Government Regulations . It is intended that this Plan will comply with all applicable laws and government regulations, and the Employer shall not be obligated to perform an obligation hereunder in any case where, in the opinion of the Employer’s counsel, such performance would result in the violation of any law or regulation.
	F.		Governing Law . The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of Georgia. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.
	G.		Headings and Subheadings . Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused the Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officer this 7th day of January, 2008 .

Exhibit 10.17

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), by and between TOTAL SYSTEM SERVICES, INC. , a Georgia corporation (the “Company”) and                                                                (the “Employee”) is entered into as of the 1 ^st day of January, 2008 (the “Effective Date”);

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company;

     WHEREAS, the Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Employee by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Employee’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Employee with appropriate compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which are competitive with those of other corporations; and

     WHEREAS, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement.

substantially performed the Employee’s duties, after which Employee shall have a reasonable amount of time to remedy such failure to substantially perform his or her duties; or

               (1) a material adverse reduction in the Employee’s position duties or responsibilities excluding for this purpose: (i) a change in the position or level of officer to whom the Employee reports, (ii) a change that is part of a policy, program or arrangement applicable to peer executives (including peer executives of any successor to the Company), or (iii) an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee;

               (2) the Company’s requiring the Employee to be based at any office or location more than 35 miles from the location where Employee was employed on the Change of Control Date or the date which is 120 days prior to the Change of Control Date (if such earlier date is selected by Employee);

               (3) a material reduction in Employee’s annual base salary, target annual bonus opportunity (including, without limitation, the use of bonus goals that are not reasonable and consistent with the bonus goals established for the preceding year), or participation in employee benefit plans, as such salary, bonus and plans were in effect on either the Change of Control Date or the date which is 120 days prior to the Change of Control Date (if such earlier date is selected by Employee) unless such reduction is part of a policy, program or arrangement applicable to peer executives (including peer executives to any successor to Company) ; or

               (4) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 8(c) of this Agreement.

     2.  Change of Control . For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean:

          (b) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

          (c) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the total number of shares of the then outstanding securities of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding securities, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan (including its trustee) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the total number of shares of the then outstanding securities of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of directors of the

For purposes of this Section 2, a “Change of Control” shall not result from any transaction precipitated by the Company’s insolvency, appointment of a conservator, or determination by a regulatory agency that the Company is insolvent, nor from any transaction initiated by the Company in regard to converting from a publicly traded company to a privately held company.

     3.  Obligations of Company Upon Termination . In the event Employee’s employment by Company is terminated before the two-year anniversary date of the Change of Control Date either (i) by the Company for any reason other than Cause or Employee’s death or Disability, or (ii) by Employee for Good Reason, then

          (a) The Company shall pay to Employee in a lump sum in cash on the date which is six months and one day after the date Employee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) the aggregate of the following amounts:

               (1) three times the sum of: (a) Employee’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to Employee’s termination; plus (b) the product of (i) Employee’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to Employee’s termination of employment multiplied by (ii) a percentage equal to the average percentage of Employee’s annual bonus earned with respect to the three calendar years ended prior to Employee’s termination, measured as a percentage of Employee’s annual base salary for the year the bonus was earned; and

               (2) the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the greater of (i) six, or (ii) number of full months Employee worked in the calendar year of Employee’s termination ( e.g. , an October 1 termination date results in a numerator of 9) and the denominator of which is 12; multiplied by (b) the target annual bonus for which Employee was eligible immediately prior to Employee’s termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, “annual base salary” means Employee’s annual rate of pay excluding all other elements of compensation such as, without limitation, bonuses, perquisites, restricted stock awards, stock options, and retirement and welfare benefits.

          (b) For three years after Employee’s termination of employment, Employee shall continue to be eligible to receive medical and welfare benefits (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability (both individual and group arrangements), life (both individual and group arrangements), and accidental death and dismemberment plans and programs) for Employee and Employee’s dependents at the level of coverage elected by Employee during the open enrollment period immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment date under benefit plans that are generally equivalent to those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer employees of the Company and its affiliated companies (excluding individual disability and individual life insurance arrangements, which must continue to be provided regardless of whether provided to peer employees) and the Company shall reimburse Employee for Employee’s costs or expenses for such benefits; provided, however, that if Employee becomes reemployed with

another employer (specifically excluding self-employment) and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, Company shall terminate all medical and other welfare benefits being provided hereunder; and provided further, however, that, if Employee is not eligible to participate under the terms of such medical and welfare benefit plans (including COBRA continuation coverage for which Executive is eligible), Company shall pay Employee in cash on the date which is six months and one day after the date Employee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) a lump sum amount equal to the lesser of: (1) thirty-six (36) times the average monthly cost per employee to the Company to provide the benefits described in this Section 3(b) to its employees, or (2) 25% of the lump sum amount payable to Employee pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

          (c) The Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to provide outplacement assistance or any other benefits and perquisites not covered above, such as a Company-provided automobile, country club and dining club dues, health club dues, retirement benefits, etc.

     4.  Non-exclusivity of Rights . Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Employee’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Employee may qualify, nor, subject to Section 9(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Employee may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the date of termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

     5.  Full Settlement . The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Employee or others. In no event shall the Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Employee obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Employee may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Employee or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Employee about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

     6.  Certain Additional Payments by the Company . (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section (6) (a “Payment”))

would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Employee with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Employee of all taxes on the Gross-Up Payment including, without limitation, any income taxes, employment taxes, excise taxes, and interest and penalties imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, if it shall be determined that the Employee is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payments do not exceed 110% of the greatest amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that could be paid to the Employee such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Employee and the remaining provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by KPMG Peat Marwick or such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Employee that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 6, shall be paid by the Company to the Employee within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 6(c) and the Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee.

          (c) The Employee shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after the Employee is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Employee shall:

               (1) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,

               (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

               (3) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and

               (4) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Employee to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Employee, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Employee with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

          (d) If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c), the Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Employee shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 6(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c), a determination is made that the Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     7.  Confidential Information . The Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Employee during the Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Employee or representatives of the Employee in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.

     8.  Successors . (a) This Agreement is personal to the Employee and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee’s legal representatives.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

          (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

     9.  Miscellaneous . (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

          (b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

          (c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

          (d) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

          (e) The Employee’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Employee or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Employee to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

          (f) The Employee and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Employee and the Company, the employment of the Employee by the Company is “at will” and, subject to Section 1(a) hereof, prior to the Change of Control Date, the Employee’s employment may be terminated by either the Employee or the Company at any time prior to the Change of Control Date, in which case the Employee and Company shall have no further rights under this Agreement. In addition, in the event Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of Employee’s death or Disability, Employee shall have no further rights under this Agreement. From and after the Effective Date this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant’s employment or service on the Board or to the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his employment or service as a Director for any specified period of time.

     Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries and, accordingly, subject to Articles 3 and 17, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries.

      16.2 Participation . No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

      16.3 Rights as a Shareholder . Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares.

Article 17. Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination

      17.1 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination . Subject to Section 17.3, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate this Plan and any Award Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that without the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders and except as provided in Section 4.4, Options or SARs issued under this Plan will not be repriced, replaced, repurchased for cash when the Fair Market Value of a Share is lower than the Option Price of a previously granted Option or the Grant Price of a previously granted SAR, or regranted through cancellation, or by lowering the Option Price of a

previously granted Option or the Grant Price of a previously granted SAR, and no material amendment of this Plan shall be made without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is required by law, regulation, or stock exchange rule.

      17.2 Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events . The Committee shall make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events, other than those described in Section 4.4 hereof, affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan.

      17.3 Awards Previously Granted . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary (other than Section 17.4), no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under this Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award.

      17.4 Amendment to Conform to Law . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or an Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder.

Article 18. Withholding

      18.1 Tax Withholding . The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

      18.2 Share Withholding . With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, or upon the achievement of performance goals related to Performance Shares, or any other taxable event arising as a result of an Award granted hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Article 19. Successors

     All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

Article 20. General Provisions

      20.1 Forfeiture Events .

	(a)		The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment for cause, termination of the Participant’s provision of services to the Company, Affiliate, and/or Subsidiary, violation of material Company, Affiliate, and/or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries.
	(b)		If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who is subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever just occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.
			In addition, in the event of an accounting restatement, the Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion may require that any Participant reimburse the Company all or part of the amount of any payment in settlement of any Award granted hereunder.

      20.2 Legend . The certificates for Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such Shares.

      20.3 Gender and Number . Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

      20.4 Severability . In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

      20.5 Requirements of Law . The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies, the NYSE or other national securities exchanges as may be required.

      20.6 Delivery of Title . The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under this Plan prior to:

	(a)		Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and
	(b)		Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.

      20.7 Inability to Obtain Authority . The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

      20.8 Investment Representations . The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under this Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

      20.9 Employees Based Outside of the United States . Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees or Directors, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:

	(a)		Determine which Affiliates and Subsidiaries shall be covered by this Plan.
	(b)		Determine which Employees or Directors outside the United States are eligible to participate in this Plan.
	(c)		Modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees or Directors outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws.
	(d)		Establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any subplans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 20.9 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices.
	(e)		Take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or approvals.

     Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted that would violate applicable law.

      20.10 Uncertificated Shares . To the extent that this Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

      20.11 Unfunded Plan . Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other individual. To the extent that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company, its Subsidiaries, and/or its Affiliates under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate, as the case may be, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in this Plan.

      20.12 No Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

      20.13 Retirement and Welfare Plans . Neither Awards made under this Plan nor Shares or cash paid pursuant to such Awards, except pursuant to Covered Employee annual incentive awards, may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s retirement plans (both qualified and nonqualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.

      20.14 Deferred Compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may cause any Award to comply with or to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and may interpret this Plan in any manner necessary to ensure that Awards under the Plan comply with or are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. In the event that the Committee determines that an Award should comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and that a Plan provision or Award Agreement provision is necessary to ensure that such Award complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed included in the Plan or such Award Agreement.

      20.15 Nonexclusivity of This Plan . The adoption of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant.

      20.16 No Constraint on Corporate Action . Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or an Affiliate’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or, (b) limit the right or power of the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

      20.17 Governing Law . The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless

otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under this Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Georgia to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Plan or any related Award Agreement.

      20.18 Indemnification . Subject to requirements of Georgia law, each individual who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by the Participant in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which the Participant may be a party or in which the Participant may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by the Participant in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by the Participant in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against the Participant, provided the Participant shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before the Participant undertakes to handle and defend it on the Participant’s own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of the Participant’s own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute.

     The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
