                                                                                                             RESTATEMENT


                                                    TBC CORPORATION

                                             EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


          THIS AGREEMENT was originally entered into as of February 20, 1998, between TBC
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and LAWRENCE C. DAY (the
"Executive") and was amended and restated effective October 1, 1999 and November 1, 2000.

          The Company and the Executive have agreed (i) to amend this Agreement in certain
respects, effective September 1, 2002; and (ii) for ease of reference, to restate this Agreement
to incorporate the new amendments and to reflect the text of this Agreement as in effect on
September 1, 2002.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive hereby agree that the following
provisions represent the text of the Executive Employment Agreement between the Company
and the Executive, as in effect on September 1, 2002:

          Section 1.  Term of Employment.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the
Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to continue in the employ of the Company, for a
period commencing April 1, 1998 and terminating on the later of September 30, 2005 (the
"Ordinary Course Termination Date"), or three (3) years after the occurrence of a Change in
Control of the Company in the event a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred
on or prior to the Ordinary Course Termination Date.  The Ordinary Course Termination Date
shall be automatically extended for additional three (3) year periods unless either party shall
give written notice of nonextension to the other party at least 120 days prior to the then current
Ordinary Course Termination Date.  Each such extension shall be effective as of the day prior
to the then current Ordinary Course Termination Date.

          Section 2.  Position and Duties.  A.  From and after October 1, 1999, the Company shall
employ the Executive as, and the Executive shall serve as, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company or in such other executive capacity as the Company and the Executive
may hereafter mutually agree.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Executive and the Company,
the Executive shall be based at the Company's offices in Memphis, Tennessee.

          B.   The Executive shall devote his full-time efforts to the business and affairs of the
Company and shall perform his duties as an executive officer, or in such other executive
capacity as the Company and the Executive may hereafter mutually agree, faithfully, diligently
and to the best of his ability and in conformity with the policies of the Company and under and
subject to such reasonable directions and instructions as the Board of Directors may issue
from time to time.


                                                          -38-









          Section 3.  Salary.  Effective September 1, 2002, the Company shall pay the Executive
a salary of $505,760 per year in approximately equal installments in accordance with the
normal pay schedule for officers of the Company.  In the event the Board of Directors of the
Company shall at any time or times thereafter increase the Executive's salary, then the
Executive's salary under this Agreement for any period after any such increase shall be not
less than the last amount to which the Board increased the salary of the Executive.

          Section 4.  Deferred Compensation.  Beginning October 1, 1999, the Executive shall
be entitled to participate in the TBC Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as
the same may be amended from time to time thereafter.

          Section 5.  Other Benefits.  A.  In addition to the salary and deferred compensation
payable pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, the Executive shall, during the term of his employment,
participate in the TBC Corporation Management Incentive Compensation Plan, the TBC
Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan, the 1989 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2000 Stock Option
Plan, and in any other stock option or compensation plan or arrangement adopted by the
Company in addition to, or in lieu of, said plans.  The Company shall also, during the term of
the Executive's employment, extend to Executive the fringe benefits (including, but not limited
to, medical, disability and life insurance, vacation, personal leave, and other similar personal
benefits) which it establishes from time to time for its most highly compensated executives;
provided, however, that the Executive shall not be entitled to any automobile allowance.  The
Executive shall also be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for his initiation fees for
membership in, and monthly dues as a member of, a Memphis, Tennessee country club.  The
Executive shall be eligible for a minimum of three weeks of paid vacation.

          B.   In addition to any life insurance available to the Executive under the Company's
group life insurance plan, the Company shall, at its expense, up to a maximum of $10,000 per
year, obtain and maintain in effect during the term of the Executive's employment with the
Company an additional $1.0 million in term life insurance on the life of the Executive, payable
to such beneficiary or beneficiaries as the Executive may designate.  The Company's
obligation under this paragraph shall be contingent upon the insurance carrier's standard
determination of insurability.

          Section 6.  Termination of Employment.  A.  The Executive's employment shall terminate
upon the death of the Executive, but the Company shall continue to pay each month for twelve
(12) months after the death of the Executive an amount per month equal to the salary per
month (inclusive of the amount of deferred compensation) that was being paid to the Executive
at the time of his death to the person or entity that the Executive shall have last designated in
writing to the Company, or if the Executive shall fail to designate a person or entity or if the
person or entity so designated shall not be in existence at the time of any payment pursuant
to this Section 6.A., then to the Executive's estate.  Nothing in this Section 6.A. shall in any
way limit or restrict any rights or benefits to which the heirs, legatees or successors in interest
of the Executive are entitled under any plans, insurance or other arrangements referred to in
Section 5 hereof in the event of the Executive's death.

          B.   The Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive's employment
hereunder at any time upon not less than sixty (60) days' advance written notice to the
Executive in the event of such prolonged physical or mental disability or other condition of the
Executive as, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, shall render him incapable
of

                                                          -39-










performing the services required of him hereunder; provided, however, that (i) no disability or
condition shall be considered incapacitating unless it has prevented the Executive from
carrying on his duties for a consecutive period of at least three (3) months; and (ii) the
Executive's employment shall not terminate if such disability is cured within the 60-day notice
period provided herein.  In addition to any retirement benefits payable to the Executive under
Section 8, in the event Executive's employment is terminated as the result of disability pursuant
to this Section 6.B., the Company shall continue to pay to the Executive each month for twelve
(12) months after such termination an amount equal to his salary per month (inclusive of the
amount of deferred compensation) at the time of such termination.

          C.   The Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive's employment
hereunder at any time upon not less than sixty (60) days' advance written notice to the
Executive in the event that (i) the Executive engages in an act or acts of dishonesty
constituting a felony and resulting or intended to result directly or indirectly in personal gain
or enrichment at the expense of the Company; or (ii) the Executive shall deliberately and
intentionally refuse in a material way to observe or comply with any of the material terms or
provisions hereof (except by reason of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental
disability or otherwise) and such refusal is not cured or corrected within the 60-day notice
period provided herein.  In the event that the Company shall terminate the Executive's
employment pursuant to this Section 6.C., the Company shall have no further obligation or
liability under this Agreement, except that the Company shall pay to the Executive the portion,
if any, of the Executive's salary which remains unpaid for the period up to the date of
termination.

          D.   1.     Provided that no Change in Control of the Company shall have then occurred
or be pending or contemplated, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive's
employment, without cause, at any time during the term of the Executive's employment
hereunder immediately upon the giving of written notice thereof to the Executive.  In the event
of any such termination without cause, the Company shall, during each month during the
remainder of the period specified in Section 1 hereof or during the period of twenty four (24)
months after such termination of employment, whichever is longer, pay the Executive (i) the
monthly salary (inclusive of the amount of deferred compensation) that was being paid to the
Executive prior to such termination of employment, plus (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of any
benefits which the Executive may have earned under any annual incentive compensation plans
of the Company with respect to the last two fiscal years preceding the year in which such
termination of employment occurs, divided by two; plus (iii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of any
benefits which the Executive may have earned under any long term incentive compensation
plans of the Company with respect to any performance cycles under such plans which ended
during the two fiscal years preceding the year in which such termination of employment occurs,
divided by two.  If the Executive dies during the period that he is receiving compensation
pursuant to this Section 6.D.1., the Company shall continue to make such payments to the
person or entity entitled thereto pursuant to Section 6.A. for the period of time provided in this
Section 6.D.1.

               2.     If the Company gives timely notice of nonextension of the Ordinary Course
Termination Date in accordance with Section 1, the Company shall, for purposes of this
Section 6.D., be deemed to have terminated the Executive's employment without cause as of
the date of such notice of nonextension.

                                                          -40-









          E.   If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur on or prior to the then current
Ordinary Course Termination Date, and the employment of the Executive shall terminate during
the period of three (3) years following the Change in Control of the Company, regardless of
whether the Executive resigns or is discharged or whether his employment is terminated due
to his death or disability or otherwise (except for termination pursuant to the provisions of
clause (i) of Section 6.C. above), the following shall be applicable:

               1.     During the remainder of the period specified in Section 1 hereof or for a period
of three (3) years after such termination of employment, whichever is longer, the Company
shall continue to pay to the Executive an amount equal to his salary determined in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3, including any compensation deferred in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.

               2.     Beginning on the first day of the month following such termination of the
Executive's employment and on the first day of every month thereafter during the period of time
specified in Section 6.E.1. above, the Company shall pay to Executive one-twelfth (1/12) of the
greater of (i) the sum of any benefits which the Executive earned under any annual incentive
compensation plans of the Company with respect to the last two fiscal years of the Company
preceding the year in which the termination of the Executive's employment occurs, divided by
two; or (ii) the sum of any benefits which the Executive earned under any annual incentive
compensation plans of the Company with respect to the last two fiscal years of the Company
preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs, divided by two.

                      In addition to the compensation set forth in the preceding paragraph,
beginning on the first day of the month following such termination of the Executive's
employment and on the first day of each of the eleven months thereafter, the Company shall
pay to Executive one-twelfth (1/12) of the greater of (i) the sum of any benefits which the
Executive earned under any long term incentive compensation plans of the Company with
respect to any performance cycle under such plans which ended during the two fiscal years
preceding the year in which the termination of the Executive's employment occurs, divided by
two; or (ii) the sum of any benefits which the Executive earned pursuant to Subsection 5.06 of
the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan, divided by two, plus the sum of any benefits which
the Executive earned under any other long term incentive compensation plan of the Company
with respect to the last two performance cycles under such plan which ended on or prior to the
date of the Change in Control, divided by two.

               3.     During the time period specified in Section 6.E.1. above, the Company shall,
at its expense, provide to or for the benefit of the Executive medical, disability, and life
insurance benefits comparable to those provided prior to the Change in Control of the
Company.

               4.     Any options or stock appreciation rights which the Executive holds under the
1989 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2000 Stock Option Plan, or under any other option plan of the
Company on the date of the termination of his employment may be exercised by the Executive
with respect to all shares subject to any such options or rights at any time within ninety (90)
days of the Executive's termination of employment, regardless of whether such options or
rights were exercisable on the date of termination; or at any time within ninety (90) days after
the termination of the Executive's employment, the Executive may, in lieu of exercising all or
any portion of any such option or right, elect to be paid by the Company in cash the excess of
the fair market value of a Company share (as defined in the 1989 Stock Incentive Plan of the
Company)

                                                          -41-








on the date the election is made (or, if higher, the highest price per Company share actually
paid in connection with the Change in Control of the Company) over the option price per share
times the number of shares then subject to unexercised options held by the Executive as to
which this election is made, whether or not such options were exercisable on the date of the
termination of the Executive's employment.  Any payment required to be made to the Executive
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made within two (2) days of the Executive's
election to be paid in cash.

               5.     Notwithstanding any provisions of any annual incentive compensation plan
of the Company to the contrary, within forty-five (45) days after the end of the fiscal year in
which termination of the Executive's employment occurs, the Company shall make pro rata
awards to the Executive under any annual incentive compensation plans of the Company in
which he participated.  Such pro rata awards shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the fraction
of which the numerator is the number of full months worked during such year and the
denominator is twelve (12), (ii) by the awards which would have been earned (as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company) if termination had not occurred during such year
and if the maximum amount payable to the Executive under the plans had been earned for
such year.

               6.     If the Executive dies during the period that he is receiving compensation or
fringe benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.E.1., 2. or 3., the Company shall, for the
period of time provided in Section 6.E.1, continue to make such payments to the person or
entity entitled thereto pursuant to Section 6.A. and to provide medical insurance benefits to
those dependents of the Executive who were covered by such insurance immediately prior to
the Executive's death.  If the Executive dies prior to receiving the payments specified in
Section 6.E.5. or prior to exercising his rights under Section 6.E.4., such payments shall be
made at the time they are required to be made hereunder to the person or entity entitled
thereto pursuant to Section 6.A., and such rights may be exercised during the time the
Executive could have exercised them but for his death by the person or entity entitled thereto
pursuant to Section 6.A.

               7.     A "Change in Control" of the Company shall, for purposes of this Agreement,
mean any change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to
Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as the same is construed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on the date of execution of this Agreement or in accordance with any
change made with respect to said Item or construction thereof deemed more favorable by the
Executive; provided that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have
occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the
Exchange Act), other than the Executive and/or any entity then controlled by the Company or
the Executive is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at
the beginning of 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 new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period; (iii) the Company
merges or consolidates with another corporation and the Company or an entity controlled by
the Company or the Executive immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not the
surviving entity; or (iv) a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company takes place.

                                                          -42-









         F.       As additional consideration to induce the Executive to remain in the employment
of the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment based upon the
number of years the Executive is an employee of the Company prior to termination of his
employment.  The Executive shall be entitled to such payment regardless of whether the
Executive resigns or is discharged or whether his employment is terminated due to his death
or disability or otherwise (except for termination for cause pursuant to Section 6.C. above, in
which case the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment under this Section).  Such
payment shall be made by the Company on the first day of the month following the effective
date of termination of the Executive's employment.  The lump sum payment shall be in an
amount as follows:

         2009                                                                          650,000
         2010                                                                          800,000
         2011                                                                          950,000
         2012                                                                        1,050,000
         2013                                                                        1,150,000
         2014                                                                        1,300,000
         2015                                                                        1,500,000


The payment described in this Section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
payments to which the Executive may be entitled as a result of termination of employment.  In
no event shall any lump sum payment under this Section be considered for purposes of
determining amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to any other provision of this Section
6 or included as "Compensation" for purposes of the Company's Executive Retirement Plan.

         Section 7.  Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition, Etc.  A.  The Executive recognizes
and acknowledges that he will have access to certain confidential information of the Company,
including but not limited to, trade secrets, customer lists, sales records and other proprietary
commercial information, and that such information constitutes valuable, special and unique
property of the Company.  The Executive agrees that he will not, for any reason or purpose
whatsoever, during or after the term of his employment, disclose any such confidential
information to any party without the express authorization of the Company, except as
necessary in the ordinary course of performing his duties hereunder.

         B.       The Executive agrees with the Company that during the term of his employment
with the Company and for such longer period as the Executive shall be receiving payments
under Section 6.D. above, the Executive shall not engage in any Competitive Activity or make
disparaging statements about the Company, any subsidiary, or any officer or director of the
Company or any subsidiary to any customer or supplier of the Company or any subsidiary or
otherwise in any public forum.  For purpose of this Agreement, "Competitive Activity" shall
mean (i) engaging directly or indirectly in any business (either financially or as a shareholder,


                                                          -43-










employee, officer, partner, independent contractor, or owner, or in any other capacity calling
for the rendition of personal services or acts of management, operation, or control) which is
competitive with the business conducted by the Company or its subsidiaries or planned to be
conducted by the Company or its subsidiaries within one year after the date of termination of
the Executive's employment with the Company; or (ii) directly or indirectly hiring or otherwise
employing or engaging as an independent contractor, or soliciting, inducing, causing, or
permitting any entity with which the Executive is affiliated to hire or otherwise employ or
engage as an independent contractor, any individual who was employed by the Company or
any subsidiary, or provided services to the Company or any subsidiary, at any time during the
term of the Executive's employment with the Company.  "Competitive Activity" shall not include
ownership of up to 1% of any class of securities of a corporation engaged in such a
competitive business, if the securities are listed on a national securities exchange or registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or participation in the management of any
enterprise or any business operation thereof, other than in connection with a Competitive
Activity of such enterprise.

         C.       The Executive acknowledges that his compliance with the agreements in
Sections 7.A. and 7.B. hereof is necessary to protect the goodwill and other proprietary
interests of the Company.  The Executive acknowledges that a breach of his agreements in
Sections 7.A. or 7.B. hereof will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company
and its business, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law; and the Executive agrees
that in the event of any breach of the aforesaid agreements, the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief and to such other and further relief as may  be proper.

         Section 8.  Retirement Benefits.  A.  The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the
Company's 401(k) Savings Plan and in any other retirement plan hereafter adopted by the
Company for the benefit of its employees, subject in each case to the terms of any such plan
governing participation therein.  In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to supplemental
retirement benefits in accordance with the terms of the Company's Executive Retirement Plan
and shall be credited with two Years of Service thereunder on his Employment Start Date.  If
he is then employed by the Company, the Executive shall, for purposes of the Company's
Executive Retirement Plan, be credited with 1.6 Years of Service for the twelve month period
ending March 31, 2003 and for each full twelve month period thereafter that he is so employed.

         B.       If the Executive's employment is terminated during the three (3) year period
following a Change in Control of the Company and the Executive is entitled to continuing
compensation under Section 6.E. of this Agreement, for purposes of the Executive Retirement
Plan, (i) the Executive shall, as of the day preceding the date of his termination of employment,
be credited with 1.6 Years of Service thereunder for each twelve month period during the time
period specified in Section 6.E.1.; and (ii) if the Executive has not reached 55 years of age on
the date his employment is terminated, the Executive's supplemental retirement benefits
thereunder shall be calculated as if he were then 55 years old.

         C.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8.A. or 8.B, the
maximum Years of Service with which the Executive shall be credited during his employment
with the Company shall not exceed 25 for purposes of calculating his benefits under the
Executive Retirement Plan.


                                                          -44-











         D.       The Company shall establish and maintain a trust fund to fund the payment of
all benefits to be paid to the Executive pursuant to Sections 6 and 8 under the circumstances
described in, and in accordance with the terms of, a trust agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Company may add to said trust fund the amounts of any
deferred compensation  payable to the Executive in order to fund the payments thereof as
provided in any plan relating thereto.

         Section 9.  Incentive Compensation Plan References.   For purposes of this Agreement,
any reference to (i) "incentive compensation plans" of the Company shall not include stock
option plans; (ii) "annual incentive compensation plans" means the Company's Management
Incentive Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 1997, as the same may be from time to time
modified or amended, or any plan adopted in replacement of such Plan if incentive
compensation is payable thereunder based upon performance which spans one fiscal year of
the Company; and (iii) "long term incentive compensation plans" means the Company's Long
Term Incentive Plan, effective January 1, 2002, as the same may be from time to time modified
or amended, or any plan adopted in replacement of such Plan if incentive compensation is
payable thereunder based upon performance which spans a period of more than one fiscal
year of the Company.

         Section 10.  Limitation on Payments.  A.  Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") impose a 20% excise tax on excessive compensation received by,
and deny a deduction to the Company for the amount of excess compensation paid to,
employees who are officers, shareholders or highly compensated individuals as a result of a
change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the Company's assets.  In general, payments to an individual that are
contingent on a Change in Control will not be treated as excessive if such payments are less
than three (3) times the average annual compensation received by such individual over the five
(5) years preceding the Change in Control.  The provisions that follow are designed to
maximize the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement in the event of a Change
in Control, taking into consideration the possible application of the foregoing Code provisions.

         B.       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it
is determined that any payment by the Company to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit,
whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, would be
taxable because of Section 4999 of the Code, then the aggregate present value of amounts
payable to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit pursuant to this Agreement shall be
reduced to the Reduced Amount unless C. below applies.  For purposes of this subparagraph,
the "Reduced Amount" shall be defined as an amount expressed in present value which
maximizes the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement without causing any such
payments to be taxable to the Executive because of Section 4999 of the Code.

         C.       If the Net After Tax Benefit of all amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement exceeds the Net After Tax Benefit of the Reduced Amount, then this Section 10
shall not apply to limit any amount payable to the Executive.  "Net After Tax Benefit" means the
amount payable to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit pursuant to this Agreement
(whether the Reduced Amount or the full amounts payable to the Executive under this
Agreement), less the sum of (i) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to
such amounts and (ii) the amount of excise taxes payable on such amounts pursuant to
Section 4999 of the Code, if any.  For purposes of this clause C., federal income taxes payable
in respect of

                                                          -45-










future payments shall be those prescribed by the Code at the time the calculation is made for
the periods in which the same shall be payable.

         D.       An initial determination as to whether any reduction in payments and benefits is
necessary in order to comply with B. above and, if so, the calculation of the Reduced Amount
shall be made by the Company and furnished to the Executive in writing within seven (7) days
following the date of the Change of Control of the Company.  From time to time thereafter as
necessary and, in any event, upon termination of the Executive's employment, the Company
shall re-examine its determination and recalculate the Reduced Amount and promptly furnish
information with respect to the same to the Executive in writing.  The Company's determination
and its calculation of the Reduced Amount following the termination of the Executive's
employment will be final and binding upon the Executive unless the Executive notifies the
Company within eight (8) days after the Executive receives the Company's determination and
calculation that the Executive disputes the same.  Within ten (10) days after the Executive so
notifies the Company, the Executive shall deliver to the Company a statement of the basis for
the Executive's opinion as to whether any reduction in payments and benefits is necessary,
pursuant to B. above and, if so, the Executive's calculation of the Reduced Amount.  If, within
ten (10) days after the Company receives such statement, the Company and the Executive are
unable to agree as to whether any reduction is necessary or as to the calculation of any
amounts under this Section 10, then the Company and the Executive shall, within three (3)
days thereafter, choose a nationally recognized accounting firm to resolve any such dispute.
Such accounting firm's determination shall be made promptly and delivered to the Company
and the Executive within twenty (20) days of its appointment and shall be final and binding on
the parties.  All costs incurred in connection with the accounting firm's determination shall be
borne by the Company.

         E.       Within ten (10) days after the date a determination and calculation of the
Reduced Amount becomes final and binding in accordance with D. above, the Executive may
elect which portion of the payments due him under this Agreement shall be eliminated or
reduced to meet such Reduced Amount (including meeting the Reduced Amount by reducing
the present value of any payment and benefits through deferral of the payment date).  If the
Executive does not notify the Company of his election within such ten (10) day period, the
Company shall have the right to decide how the Reduced Amount will be met.

         F.       Pending a final and binding determination and calculation of the Reduced
Amount in accordance with this Section 10, the Executive shall have the right to require the
Company to pay to the Executive all or any undisputed portion of the Reduced Amount, as
determined and calculated by the Company, that would be then due and payable to the
Executive pursuant to this Agreement.  Such payment shall be made by the Company within
two (2) days after the date of receipt of notice from the Executive requesting such payment.

         G.       The Company shall pay to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit that portion
of the Reduced Amount which is then due and payable (less any amount previously paid by
the Company pursuant to F. above) within ten (10) days after receipt of the election by the
Executive described in E. above or, in the absence of such an election, within fifteen (15) days
after the date upon which any determination and calculation of the Reduced Amount becomes
final and binding in accordance with D. above.  The balance of the Reduced Amount shall be
paid promptly as the same becomes due and payable under this Agreement.


                                                          -46-










         H.       In the event that the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction
makes a final determination that any payments to the Executive under this Agreement are
taxable to the Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, and such payments should not
have been made under the terms of Sections 10.B. and C. hereof (such taxable payments and
benefits being referred to hereinafter as an "Overpayment") or in the event that the Code shall
be amended or final regulations thereunder adopted and, as a result thereof, payments or
benefits previously made to the Executive under this Agreement should not have been made
under the terms of Sections 10.B. and C. and are thus recharacterized as an Overpayment,
the amount of such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Executive
which shall be repayable by the Executive within thirty (30) days after demand by the
Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate specified for a demand loan in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code, compounded semiannually.  The foregoing provision relating
to Overpayments shall be applicable notwithstanding previous compliance by the Company
and the Executive with the requirements of this Section 10; provided, however, that no such
Overpayment shall be repaid by the Executive to the Company if and to the extent that, despite
making such repayment, the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the
Code would not be reduced.

         Section 11.  Amendment of Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended from time
to time hereafter only with the mutual consent of the Executive and the Board of Directors of
the Company (or any committee thereof to which responsibility for this Agreement has been
delegated).  All amendments shall be in writing, shall reference this Agreement and state that
an amendment to this Agreement is being made in the respects set forth therein, and shall be
executed by the Executive and the Company.

         Section 12.  Waiver.  The failure of either party to insist, in any one or more instances,
upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the
other party hereto, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a relinquishment of any right
granted hereunder to the party failing to insist on such performance, or as a waiver of the
future performance of any such term, covenant or condition, but the obligations hereunder of
both parties hereto shall remain unimpaired and shall continue in full force and effect.

         Section 13.  Successor; Binding Agreement.  The Company shall require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume 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.  Failure of the Company to obtain
such agreement prior to the effectiveness of such succession shall be deemed to be a Change
in Control of the Company effective on the date of such succession.  As used herein,
"Company" shall mean TBC Corporation and any successor to its business and/or its assets
as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 13 or
which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation of law.

         Section 14.  Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by facsimile, by U.S. mail,  or by overnight
courier service, if to the Company, addressed to:

forth in the Company's books and records.  Notices shall be deemed given upon receipt, and
the sending party shall have the burden of proving receipt.  Either party may change the
address to which notices to it or him are to be directed by giving written notice of such change
to the other party in the manner specified in this paragraph.

         Section 15.  Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in Memphis, Tennessee, in
accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         Section 16.  Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands as of the day and
year first above written.
