and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to whom Stock Options, Restricted Stock,
Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may from time to time be granted
hereunder;

         (ii)     to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock

Other Stock-Based Awards, or any combination thereof, are to be granted
hereunder to one or more eligible employees;

         (iii)    to determine the number of shares to be covered by each such
award granted hereunder;

         (iv)     to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not
limited to, the share price and any restriction or limitation, or any vesting
acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions regarding any Stock Option or
other award and/or the shares of Stock relating thereto, based in each case on

   4

         (vi)     to determine whether, to what extent and under what
circumstances Option grants and/or other awards under the Plan and/or other cash
awards made by the Company are to be made, and operate, on a tandem basis
vis-a-vis other awards under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the
Plan, or on an additive basis; and

         (vii)    to determine whether, to what extent and under what
circumstances Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an award under
this Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the
participant (including providing for an determining the amount (if any) of any
deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period).

         The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to
time, deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any
award issued under the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

         All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be made in the Committee's sole discretion and shall be final and
binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants.

SECTION 3.        STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

         The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for
distribution under the Plan shall be 36,000 shares, plus ten percent (10%) of
any increase (other than any increase due to stock awards under this Plan any
other similar plan of the Company for the benefit of key employees) in the
number of authorized and issued shares of Stock above 361,956 shares (the number
of shares of Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 1991), up to the
total number of authorized shares of Stock as of December 31, 1991. Shares
subject to the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued
shares.

         Subject to Section 6(b)(vi) below, if any shares of Stock that have
been optioned cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any such shares of
Stock that are subject to any Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock award or Other
Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise
terminates without a payment being made to the participant in the form of Stock,
such shares again be available for distribution in connection with future awards
under the Plan.

         In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, extraordinary cash dividend, stock dividend, stock split or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or
adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance
under the Plan, in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding
Options granted under the Plan in the number of shares (and, to the extent
applicable, purchase price) subject to other outstanding awards granted under
the Plan as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, provided that the number of shares subject to any award shall always
be a whole number.


                                       4

SECTION 4.        ELIGIBILITY.

         Officers and other key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates (but excluding members of the Committee and any person who serves
only as a director) who are responsible for or contribute to the management,
growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates are eligible to be granted awards under the Plan.

SECTION 5.        STOCK OPTIONS.

         Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to or in tandem with
other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.
Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee
may from time to time approve.

         Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive
Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Committee shall have the
authority to grant to any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock
Options, or both types of Stock Options.

         Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

         (a)      Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable
under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant
but in the case of Incentive Stock Options shall be not less than 100% (or, in
the case of an employee owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any of its
subsidiary or parent corporations, not less than 110%) of the Fair Market Value
of the Stock at grant and in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options not less
than 90% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the option price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be less than 90%
of Fair Market Value at the time the option is granted if (i) prior to the date
of grant of an option the grantee of the option has entered into an irrevocable
agreement with the Company pursuant to which the grant of the option is in lieu
of future compensation which would otherwise be earned by the grantee and (ii)
the dollar amount or the value of such future compensation when added to the
exercise price of the option is at least equal to 90% of the Fair Market Value
(or such higher percentage as may be determined by the Committee) at the date of
grant of the number of shares of Stock subject to the option.

         (b)      Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by
the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years (or,
in the case of an employee who owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its
subsidiary or parent corporations, more than five years) after the date the
Option is granted.

         (c)      Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such
time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by
the Committee at or after grant; provided, however, that, except as provided in
Section 5(f) and (g) and Section 9, unless otherwise determined by the Committee
at or after grant, no Stock Option shall be exercisable prior to six months
after the date of the granting of the Option. If the Committee provides, in its
sole discretion, that any Stock



                                       5
   6
Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may waive such
installment exercise provisions at any time at or after grant in whole or in
part, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its sole
discretion.

         (d)      Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise
provision apply under Section 5(c), Stock Options may be exercised in whole or
in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice of
exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased.

                  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
purchase price, either by check, note or such other instrument as the Committee
may accept. As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after
grant, payment in full or in part may also be made in the form of unrestricted
Stock already owned by the optionee or, in the case of the exercise of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock subject to an
award hereunder (based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the date the option is exercised, as determined by the Committee).

                  If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified
Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock of
Deferred Stock, such Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock (and any replacement
shares relating thereto) shall remain (or be) restricted or deferred, as the
case may be, in accordance with the original terms of the Restricted Stock award
or Deferred Stock award in question, and any additional Stock received upon the
exercise shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions or deferral
limitations, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, at or after grant.

                  No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor
has been made. An optionee shall generally have the rights of dividends or other
rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to the Option when the
optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares,
and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 12(a).

         (e)      Non-Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be
transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the
optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee.

         (f)      Termination by Death. Subject to Section 5(j), if an
optionee's employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates
by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be
exercised, to the extent such option was exercisable at the time of death or on
such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as
may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee),
by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee
under the will of the optionee, for a period of one year (or such other period
as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such death or until the
expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
shorter.

         (g)      Termination by Reason of Disability. Subject to Section 5(j),
if an optionee's employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate
terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may
thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was




                                       6
   7
exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the
Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance
with procedures established by the Committee), for a period of one year (or such
other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such
termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if the
optionee dies within such one year period (or such other period as the Committee
shall specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee
shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the
time of death for a period of twelve months from the date of such death or until
the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability, if
an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise
periods that apply for purposes of Section 422A of the Code, such Stock Option
will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

         (h)      Termination by Reason of Retirement. Subject to Section 5(j),
if an optionee's employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate
terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement, any Stock Option held by
such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was
exercisable at the time of such Retirement or on such accelerated basis as the
Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance
with procedures established by the Committee), for a period of one year (or such
longer or shorter period as the Committee in its discretion may specify at
grant) from the date of such termination of employment or the expiration of the
stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided,
however, that, if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such other
period as the Committee in its discretion may specify at grant), any unexercised
stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable, to the
extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of twelve
months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of
such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of termination of
employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised
after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section
422A of the Code, the option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option.

         (i)      Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee (or pursuant to procedures established by the Committee) at or after
grant, if an optionee's employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or
Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or
Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate, except that such
Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise then exercisable, for the
lesser of three months or the balance of such Stock Options's term if the
optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company and any Subsidiary or
Affiliate without Cause. For purposes of this Plan, "Cause" means a felony
conviction of a participant's willful misconduct or dishonesty, any of which is
directly and materially harmful to the business or reputation of the Company or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

         (j)      Incentive Stock Options. Anything in the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall
be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority
granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under
Section 4422A of the Code, or, without the consent of the optionee(s) affected,
to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422A.


                                       7
   8
                  To the extent permitted under Section 422A of the Code or the
applicable regulations thereunder or any applicable Internal Revenue Service
pronouncement:

                  (i)      if (x) a participant's employment is terminated by
reason of death, Disability or Retirement and (y) the portion of any Incentive
Stock Option that is otherwise exercisable during the post-termination period
specified under Section 5(f), (g) or (h), applied without regard to the $100,000
limitation contained in Section 422A(b) (7) of the Code, is greater than the
portion of such option that is immediately exercisable as an "incentive stock
option" during such post-termination period under Section 422A, such excess
shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option; and

                  (ii)     if the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is
accelerated by reason of a Change in Control, any portion of such option that is
not exercisable as an Incentive stock Option by reason of the $100,000
limitation contained in Section 422A(b)(7) of the Code shall be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

         (k)      Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time offer to
buyout for a payment in cash, Stock, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock an
option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall establish and communicate to the optionee at the time that such offer is
made.

         (l)      Settlement Provisions. If the option agreement so provides at
grant or is amended after grant and prior to exercise to so provide (with the
optionee's consent), the Committee may require that all or part of the shares to
be issued with respect to the spread value of an exercised Option take the form
of Deferred or Restricted Stock, which shall be valued on the date of exercise
on the basis of the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Committee) of such
Deferred or Restricted Stock determined without regard to the deferral
limitations and/or forfeiture restrictions involved.

SECTION 6.        RESTRICTED STOCK.

         (a)      Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued
either alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the
Plan and/or cash awards made outside the Plan. The Committee shall determine the
eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted
Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be
paid by the recipient of Restricted Stock (subject to Section 6(b)), the time or
times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture, and all other terms
and conditions of the awards.

                  The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon
the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as the
Committee may determine, in its sole discretion.

                  The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need not be the same
with respect to each recipient.

         (b)      Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of a
Restricted Stock award shall not have any rights with respect to such award,
unless and until such recipient has executed an




                                       8
   9
agreement evidencing the award and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof
to the Company, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and
conditions of such award.

                  (i)      The purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock
shall be established by the Committee and may be zero.

                  (ii)     Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a
period of 60 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant)
after the award date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and paying
whatever price (if any) is required under Section 6(b)(i).

                  (iii)    Each participant receiving a Restricted Stock award
shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted
Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such participant, and
shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and
restrictions applicable to such award.

                  (iv)     The Committee shall require that the stock
certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the
restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any
Restricted Stock award, the participant shall have delivered a stock power,
endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.

         (c)      Restrictions and Condition. The shares of Restricted Stock
awarded pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the following
restrictions and conditions:

                  (i)      Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the award
agreement, during a period set by the Committee commencing with the date of such
award (the "Restriction Period"), the participant shall not be permitted to
sell, transfer, pledge or assign shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the
Plan. Within these limits, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide
for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive
such restrictions in whole or in part, based on service, performance and/or such
other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, in its sole
discretion.

                  (ii)     Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and Section
6(c)(i), the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted
Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to
vote the shares, and the right to receive any cash dividends. The Committee, in
it sole discretion, as determined at the time of award, may permit or require
the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so
determines, reinvested, subject to Section 12(e), in additional Restricted Stock
to the extent shares are available under Section 3, or otherwise reinvested.
Pursuant to Section 3 above, Stock dividends issued with respect to Restricted
Stock shall be treated as additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject
to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares
with respect to which such dividends are issued.

                  (iii)    Subject to the applicable provisions of the award
agreement and this Section 6, upon termination of participant's employment with
the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the
Restriction Period, all shares still subject to restriction will vest, or be
forfeited, in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the
Committee at or after grant.


                                       9
   10

                  (iv)     If and when the Restriction Period expires without a
prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period,
certificates for an appropriate number of unrestricted shares shall be delivered
to the participant promptly.

         (d)      Minimum Value Provisions. In order to better ensure that award

in cash or Stock to the recipient of a restricted stock award, subject to such
performance, future service, deferral and other terms and conditions as may be
specified by the Committee.

Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(v), where applicable), share
certificates shall be delivered to the participant, or his legal representative,
in a number equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock award.

                  (ii)     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at

accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at or
after grant.

                  (iv)     Based on service, performance and/or such other
factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, the Committee may, at or
after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Stock
award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of such award.

                  (v)      A participant may elect to further defer receipt of

Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock award (or such installment).

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) W. B. Greene, Jr. and his
Related Interests, becomes the beneficial owner of the Company's securities

securities of the Company that may be cast for the election of directors of the
Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the
Company in the ordinary course of business); or

                  (ii)     as the result of, or in connection with, any cash
tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets
or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions less
than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities
of the Company or any successor corporation or entity entitled to vote generally
in the election of the directors of the Company or such other corporation or
entity after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of the
Company's securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
the Company immediately prior to such transaction; or

                  (iii)    during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Board cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election,
or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, of each director
of the Company first elected during such period was approved by a vote of at

                  (ii)     The acquisition of beneficial ownership, directly or
indirectly, by any entity, person or group (other than the Company or a

agreement by W. B. Greene, Jr. and his Related Interests providing for the sale

SECTION 10.         AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION.

         The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of an
optionee or participant under a Stock Option, Restricted or Deferred Stock award
of Other Stock-Based Award therefore granted, without the optionee's or
participant's consent or which, without the approval of the Company's
stockholders, would:

         (a)      except as expressly provided in this Plan, increase the total
number of shares reserved for the purpose of the Plan;

         (b)      change the pricing terms of Section 5(a);

         (c)      change the employees or class of employees eligible to
participate in the Plan; or

         (d)      extend the maximum option period under Section 5(b) of the
Plan.

         The Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other award
theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 3
above, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without the
holder's consent. The Committee may also substitute new Stock Options for
previously granted Stock Options (on a one-for-one or other basis), including
previously granted Stock Options having higher option exercise prices.

         Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have broad authority
to amend the Plan to take into account changes in applicable securities and tax
laws and accounting rules, as well as other developments.

SECTION 11.         UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

         The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and
deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a
participant or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any
such participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the
creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under
the Plan to deliver Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to awards
hereunder; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise determines
with the consent of the affected participant, the existence of such trusts or
other arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan.

SECTION 12.         GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         (a)      The Committee may require each person purchasing shares
pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and
agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring
the shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such
shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect
any restrictions on transfer.


                                       15
   16

                  All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities
delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and
other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under applicable rules,
regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable
Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.

         (b)      Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from
adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder
approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

         (c)      The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee of
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any right to continued employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate
to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

         (d)      No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to
the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount. Unless, otherwise determined by the
Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock
that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The
obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment
or arrangements and the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall, to the
extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant.

         (e)      The actual or deemed reinvestment of dividends or dividend
equivalents in additional Restricted Stock (or in Deferred Stock or other types
of Plan awards) at the time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if
sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment
(taking into account then outstanding Stock Options, Stock Purchase Rights and
other Plan awards).

         (f)      The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Tennessee.

         (g)      To the extent Rule 16(b)(3) (or any successor rule or
regulation) of the Securities and Exchange Commission is now or hereafter
applicable to the Plan, it is intended that the Plan shall comply in all
respects with Rule 16b-3 (as amended from time to time and including any
successor rule or regulation). In the event that any provision of the Plan is
determined by the Committee, upon advice of counsel, to not comply with Rule
16b-3, the Committee shall be authorized to nullify and void any such
provisions.

SECTION 13.         EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall be effective as of May 15, 1992, upon the approval of
the Plan by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Company's Common
Stock at the 1992 annual shareholders' meeting.

SECTION 14.         TERM OF PLAN.

         No Stock Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award or Other
Stock-Based Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the date of stockholder approval but awards granted prior to such
tenth anniversary may extend beyond that date in accordance with the terms of
such awards and the Plan.

                  of Directors and, in the exercise of its delegated authority,
                  has determined to award the following qualified incentive
                  stock option to Participant in accordance with the terms and
                  conditions set forth herein and pursuant to the Plan.

may require that this option be amended at a later date to conform with the
terms and conditions of any such laws and regulations as hereafter changed or
adopted.

         3.       Vesting of Grant and Method of Exercise. This option is

option may be exercised may vary from the time limits otherwise specified herein
as follows:

                  (a)      If the termination of employment is due to death,
disability, or retirement, this option is exercisable to the extent then vested,
or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine for a period of one
(1) year from the event or the remainder of the option period, whichever period
is shorter. If the Participant dies within the one year period following
termination of employment due to disability or retirement, any unexercised
option exercisable as of the date of death shall be exercisable for a period of
twelve months from the date of death or the remaining stated term of the grant,
whichever period is shorter.

                  (b)      If Participant's termination of employment is
involuntary for reasons other than for "cause" (as defined in Section 5(i) of
the Plan), this option shall be exercisable to the extent then vested for a
period of three (3) months from the termination of employment or the remainder
of the option period whichever period is shorter.

                  (c)      If Participant's termination of employment is
involuntary and is for "cause" as defined under the Plan, this option shall
terminate immediately and shall be null and void and of no effect. "Cause" is
defined in Section 5(i) of the Plan as a felony conviction or willful misconduct
or dishonesty, any of which is directly and materially harmful to the business
or reputation of the Company.

   22
                  (d)      If Participant voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company, other than by reason of retirement, this option shall
automatically terminate upon such event and shall be null and void and of no
effect.

         9.       Tandem Awards. This option may be made in conjunction with, or
in tandem with, other awards under the Plan and/or cash awards outside the Plan,
including, but not limited to, awards of cash, qualified stock options,
restricted stock, deferred stock, and other stock-based cash awards; provided,
however, no tandem stock options shall be granted which create an arrangement
that provides for alternative options which would disqualify any qualified
incentive stock option portion of any such arrangement.

         10.      Change in Control. If there occurs a Change in Control or a
potential Change in Control as defined in Section 9 of the Plan, any portion of
this option not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable
and vested. The value of such fully-vested option shall then be paid and
redeemed by the Company in cash on the date such Change in Control occurs,
unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. The value of
the Stock shall be as set forth in Section 9(d) of the Plan which provides,
generally, that such value shall be the highest price per share paid or offered
in any bona fide transaction related to the potential or actual Change in
Control in the 60-day period immediately preceding the date of Change of
Control.

         11.      No View Toward Distribution. This option is granted in
recognition of the Participant's contributions to the Company's growth, and is
intended to encourage acquisition of an equity interest in the Company.
Participant warrants and represents that any stock acquired pursuant to this
grant shall be purchased for investment purposes and not with a view toward
resale or distribution.

         12.      Amendment of Plan and Option Grant. This option is made
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated by
reference herein and made a part of for all purposes.

                                       5
   23

In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions the Plan and those
set forth herein, the terms of the Plan shall govern and be determinative. The
Plan may be amended from time to time or discontinued by the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that no such amendment or discontinuance shall impair the
rights of Participant hereunder without Participant's consent.

         13.      No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Grant is
intended to create or shall be construed as conferring upon Participant or any
other employee of the Company any right of continued employment with the
Company, nor shall this Grant in any way affect the right of the Company to
terminate employment of any of its employees at any time.

         14.      Authority of Plan Committee. The Committee administering the
Plan shall have the authority to construe, interpret, and administer the Plan,
and to issue rules and regulations for administration of the Plan. All decisions
of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

         15.      No Legal Advice. Nothing in this Grant or in the Plan
documents is intended to constitute or substitute for legal or tax advice on any
matter connected herewith.

         16.      Integration. The headings and preamble of this document are an
integral part of this Grant.

         17.      Controlling Law. This Grant and all actions taken thereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Tennessee and Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         18.      Acceptance by Participant. Participant shall evidence his
acceptance of this Grant by signing a copy of this instrument and returning it
to the Chairman of the Committee. If the Participant does not execute and
deliver such acceptance to the Chairman of the Committee within 60 days from



                                       6

the date of the Grant for any reason other than death, this option shall become
null and void and shall not be exercisable.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Committee has issued this Stock Option Grant
acting on behalf of and under the authorization of the Company's Board of
Directors.

                           (NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION
                 UNDER SECTION 83 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE)

         THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of ______________________ 200_, is made by and
between BANCTENN CORP., a Tennessee corporation with its principal offices at
301 East Center Street, Kingsport, Tennessee (herein "Company") and
______________________________ (herein "Participant"), to-wit:

                                    RECITALS:

         A.       The Company's shareholders have heretofore approved the 1992
                  Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") the purpose of
                  which is to utilize stock-based incentive compensation to
                  reward performance of key employees of the Company and its
                  wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Tennessee (herein
                  collectively the "Company").

         B.       The Plan authorizes the Company's Board of Directors to
                  appoint a committee (the "Committee") to grant nonqualified
                  stock options under the Plan to certain key employees of the
                  Company and the Bank.

         C.       Participant is the President and Chief Executive Officer of
                  the Company and Bank and, as such, has significant
                  responsibility for the management of the Company and Bank.

         D.       The Committee has been duly appointed by the Company's Board
                  of Directors and, in the exercise of its delegated authority,
                  has determined to award the following nonqualified stock
                  option to Participant in accordance with the terms and
                  conditions set forth herein and pursuant to the Plan.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Committee grants the following Stock Option to
Participant.

         1.       Grant. The Committee hereby grants to Participant, effective
as of the date of this instrument (the "Grant Date"), an option to purchase
______ shares of the Company's common stock (the "Stock") at a price of $_______
per share. This Grant is made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan
and may only be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Plan.


   27

         2.       Nonqualified Status. This Grant is intended to be a
nonqualified stock option as defined in Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and as set forth in Section 5 of the Plan. The grant of
this option conforms to the provisions of the law and regulations now in effect.
Participant acknowledges the possibility that future changes in applicable law
may require that this option be amended at a later date to conform with the
terms and conditions of any such laws and regulations as hereafter changed or
adopted.

         3.       Vesting of Grant and Method of Exercise. This option is
exercisable in whole or in part as to all shares covered hereby at Participant's
discretion no sooner than ______________, 200_ and no later than
________________, 200_. To exercise this option Participant shall give written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of stock to be
purchased. Such notice shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A. The notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase
price, by check, note or other instrument which the Committee determines is
appropriate. This option may be exercised on more than one occasion as shares of
Stock become vested hereunder, at Participant's discretion. Any vested shares
not purchased by Participant pursuant to an initial exercise of this option
shall continue to remain subject to this option for the stated term hereof and
subject to all stated terms and conditions.

         4.       Participant Rights as to Stock. Once proper notice is given
and full payment is made pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall issue one or
more certificates for such shares of Stock as may be purchased by Participant
from time to time. Upon completing the exercise of this option and tendering
payment for the shares of Stock purchased, the Participant shall generally have
all shareholder rights attendant to and arising from the shares of Stock so
purchased.

         5.       Adjustments in Number of Option Shares. Appropriate adjustment
in the number of shares covered by this option shall be made by the Committee to
give effect to any mergers,



                                       2
   28
consolidations, acquisitions, stock splits, stock dividends, or other relevant
charges in capitalization occurring after the date hereof, provided that no
fractional shares shall be subject to this option and each option shall be
adjusted down to the nearest full share.

         6.       Nontransferability. This option is not transferable by the
Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During the life of the Participant this option is exercisable only by the
Participant, or in the case of incompetency by the Participant's duly appointed
representative, and only to the extent and upon the terms set forth in the Plan.

         7.       Effect of Termination of Employment. In the event
Participant's employment with the Company is terminated, the length of time this
option may be exercised may vary from the time limits otherwise specified herein
as follows:

                  (a)      If the termination of employment is due to death,
disability, or retirement, this option is exercisable to the extent then vested,
or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine for a period of one
(1) year from the event or the remainder of the option period, whichever period
is shorter. If the Participant dies within the one year period following
termination of employment due to disability or retirement, any unexercised
option exercisable as of the date of death shall be exercisable for a period of
twelve months from the date of death or the remaining stated term of the grant,
whichever period is shorter.

                  (b)      If Participant's termination of employment is
involuntary for reasons other than for "cause" (as defined in Section 5(i) of
the Plan), this option shall be exercisable to the extent then vested for a
period of three (3) months from the termination of employment or the remainder
of the option period whichever period is shorter.


                                       3
   29

                  (c)      If Participant's termination of employment is
involuntary and is for "cause" as defined under the Plan, this option shall
terminate immediately and shall be null and void and of no effect. "Cause" is
defined in Section 5(i) of the Plan as a felony conviction or willful misconduct
or dishonesty, any of which is directly and materially harmful to the business
or reputation of the Company.

                  (d)      If Participant voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company, other than by reason of retirement, this option shall
automatically terminate upon such event and shall be null and void and of no
effect.

         8.       Tandem Awards. This option may be made in conjunction with, or
in tandem with, other awards under the Plan and/or cash awards outside the Plan,
including, but not limited to, awards of cash, qualified stock options,
restricted stock, deferred stock, and other stock-based cash awards; provided,
however, no tandem stock options shall be granted which create an arrangement
that provides for alternative options which would disqualify any qualified
incentive stock option portion of any such arrangement.

         9.       Change in Control. If there occurs a Change in Control or a
potential Change in Control as defined in Section 9 of the Plan, any portion of
this option not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable
and vested. The value of such fully-vested option shall then be paid and
redeemed by the Company in cash on the date such Change in Control occurs,
unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. The value of
the Stock shall be as set forth in Section 9(d) of the Plan which provides,
generally, that such value shall be the highest price per share paid or offered
in any bona fide transaction related to the potential or actual Change in
Control in the 60-day period immediately preceding the date of Change of
Control.

   30

         10.      No View Toward Distribution. This option is granted in
recognition of the Participant's contributions to the Company's growth, and is
intended to encourage acquisition of an equity interest in the Company. The
Participant warrants and represents that any stock acquired pursuant to this
grant shall be purchased for investment purposes and not with a view toward
resale or distribution.

         11.      Amendment of Plan and Option Grant. This option is made
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated by
reference herein and made a part of for all purposes. In the event of a conflict
between the terms and conditions the Plan and those set forth herein, the terms
of the Plan shall govern and be determinative. The Plan may be amended from time
to time or discontinued by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no
such amendment or discontinuance shall impair the rights of the Participant
hereunder without the Participant's consent.

         12.      No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Grant is
intended to create or shall be construed as conferring upon Participant or any
other employee of the Company any right of continued employment with the
Company, nor shall this Grant in any way affect the right of the Company to
terminate employment of any of its employees at any time.

         13.      Authority of Plan Committee. The Committee administering the
Plan shall have the authority to construe, interpret, and administer the Plan,
and to issue rules and regulations for administration of the Plan. All decisions
of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

         14.      No Legal Advice. Nothing in this Grant or in the Plan
documents is intended to constitute or substitute for legal or tax advice on any
matter connected herewith.

         15.      Integration. The headings and preamble of this document are an
integral part of this Grant.

         16.      Controlling Law. This Grant and all actions taken thereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Tennessee and Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         17.      Acceptance by Participant. Participant shall evidence his
acceptance of this Grant by signing a copy of this instrument and returning it
to the Chairman of the Committee. If the Participant does not execute and
deliver such acceptance to the Chairman of the Committee within 60 days from the
date of the Grant for any reason other than death, this option shall become null
and void and shall not be exercisable.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Committee has issued this Stock Option Grant
acting on behalf of and under the authorization of the Company's Board of
Directors.
