First Tennessee National Corporation (the "Corporation") is a Tennessee corporation incorporated in 1968 and registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation had total assets of $13.1 billion and ranked second in terms of total assets among Tennessee-headquartered bank holding companies and ranked 45th nationally. Through its principal subsidiary, First Tennessee Bank National Association (the "Bank"), and its other banking and banking-related subsidiaries, the Corporation provides a broad range of financial services. The Corporation is primarily engaged in the commercial banking business. Significant operations are, however, conducted in mortgage banking and the bond division, which are described in more detail in the response to Item 7 of Part II hereof and Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During 1996 approximately 56% of revenues were provided by fee income and approximately 44% of revenues were provided by net interest income. As a bank holding company, the Corporation coordinates the financial resources of the consolidated enterprise and maintains systems of financial, operational and administrative control that allows coordination of selected policies and activities. The Bank is a national banking association with principal offices in Memphis, Tennessee. It received its charter in 1864 and operates primarily on a regional basis. During 1996 it generated gross revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) of approximately $967.3 million and contributed 95% of consolidated net income from continuing operations. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had $12.1 billion in total assets, $8.2 billion in total deposits, and $7.9 billion in net loans. Within the State of Tennessee on December 31, 1996, it ranked first among banks in terms of total assets and deposits. Nationally, it ranked 55th in terms of total assets as of September 30, 1996. On December 31, 1996, the Corporation's subsidiary banks had 263 banking locations (including 30 free-standing ATM machines) in 21 Tennessee counties, including all of the major metropolitan areas of the state, 15 banking locations in Mississippi and 11 banking locations (including 3 free-standing ATM's) in Arkansas. Subsidiaries of the Bank at December 31, 1996, provided mortgage banking services through approximately 147 offices in 29 states. An element of the Corporation's business strategy is to seek acquisitions that would enhance long-term shareholder value. The Corporation has an acquisitions department charged with this responsibility which is constantly reviewing and developing opportunities to achieve this element of the Corporation's strategy. Acquisitions which closed during the past three years are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "1996 Annual Report"), which note is incorporated herein by reference. The Corporation provides the following services through its subsidiaries: - general banking services for consumers, small businesses, corporations, financial institutions, and governments - mortgage banking services - bond division--primarily sales and underwriting of bank-eligible securities and mortgage loans and advisory services - trust, fiduciary, and agency services - nationwide check clearing services - credit card products - merchant credit card and automated teller machine transaction processing - discount brokerage, brokerage, venture capital, equipment finance and credit life insurance - investment and financial advisory services - mutual fund sales as agent - insurance sales as agent - check processing software and systems. 1 3 All of the Corporation's subsidiaries are listed in Exhibit 21. The Bank has filed notice with the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller") as a government securities broker/dealer. The bond division of the Bank is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a municipal securities dealer with offices in Memphis and Knoxville, Tennessee; Mobile, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Overland Park, Kansas; and Dallas, Texas. The subsidiary banks are supervised and regulated as described below. Highland Capital Management Corp. is registered with the SEC and certain states as an investment adviser. Hickory Venture Capital Corporation is licensed as a Small Business Investment Company. First Tennessee Brokerage, Inc. is registered with the SEC and certain states as a broker-dealer. FT Mortgage Companies is licensed as a mortgage lender (or exempt from licensing) in all states where it does business and is regulated by the Comptroller as well as various state regulators. First Tennessee Insurance Services ("FTIS"), a department of the Bank with offices in Dandridge, Tennessee, is licensed in several states as a non-resident insurance agency. Certain employees of FTIS are licensed as insurance agents in Tennessee and other states. Expenditures for research and development activities were not material for the years 1994, 1995 or 1996. Neither the Corporation nor any of its significant subsidiaries is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had approximately 7,745 full-time-equivalent employees, not including contract labor for certain services, such as guard and house-keeping. Supervision and Regulation. The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Corporation is required to file with the Board annual reports and such additional information as the Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Board may also make examinations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The following summary of the BHCA and of the other acts described herein is qualified in its entirety by express reference to each of the particular acts. General As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. Under the BHCA, bank holding companies may not in general directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. The BHCA also restricts the types of activities in which a bank holding company and its subsidiaries may engage. Generally, activities are limited to banking and activities found by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, the BHCA permits the Federal Reserve to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire a bank located outside the acquiror's principal state of operations without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited under state law. See " --Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation." Effective September 29, 1995, the Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974 was amended to, among other things, prohibit (subject to certain exceptions) a bank holding company from acquiring a bank for which the home state is Tennessee (a "Tennessee bank") if, upon consummation, the company would directly or indirectly control 30% or more of the total deposits in insured depository institutions in Tennessee. As of September 30, 1996, the Corporation estimates that it held approximately 14% of such deposits. Subject to certain exceptions, the Tennessee Bank Structure Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring a bank in Tennessee which has been in operation for less than five years. Tennessee law permits a Tennessee Bank to establish branches in any county in Tennessee. Management cannot predict the extent to which the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may be affected by recent federal and Tennessee legislation relating to interstate and intrastate acquisitions and branching activities. 2 4 The Corporation's subsidiary banks (the "Subsidiary Banks") are subject to supervision and examination by applicable federal and state banking agencies. The Bank, First National Bank of Springdale, Springdale, Arkansas, and First Tennessee Bank National Association Mississippi, Southaven, Mississippi, are national banking associations subject to regulation and supervision by the Comptroller as their primary federal regulator. The remaining Subsidiary Banks are Cleveland Bank and Trust Company, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Peoples and Union Bank, Lewisburg, Tennessee, which are Tennessee state-chartered banks, and Peoples Bank, Senatobia, Mississippi, and Planters Bank, Tunica, Mississippi, which are Mississippi state-chartered banks, none of which are members of the Federal Reserve System, and therefore are subject to the regulations of and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") as well as state banking authorities. In addition, all of the Subsidiary Banks are insured by, and subject to regulation by, the FDIC. The Subsidiary Banks are also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon and limitations on the types of investments that may be made, activities that may be engaged in, and types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Subsidiary Banks. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. Payment of Dividends The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and other subsidiaries. The principal source of cash flow of the Corporation, including cash flow to pay dividends on its stock or principal (premium, if any) and interest on debt securities, is dividends from the Subsidiary Banks. There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends by the Subsidiary Banks to the Corporation, as well as by the Corporation to its shareholders. Each Subsidiary Bank that is a national bank is required by federal law to obtain the prior approval of the Comptroller for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the board of directors of such Subsidiary Bank in any year will exceed the total of (i) its net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. A national bank also can pay dividends only to the extent that retained net profits (including the portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation). State-chartered banks are subject to varying restrictions on the payment of dividends under applicable state laws. Tennessee law imposes dividend restrictions on Tennessee state banks substantially similar to those imposed under federal law on national banks, as described above. Mississippi law prohibits Mississippi state banks from declaring a dividend without the prior written approval of the Mississippi Banking Commissioner. If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authority, a depository institution or a holding company is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the depository institution or holding company, could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require that such institution or holding company cease and desist from such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution's or holding company's capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Moreover, the Federal Reserve, the Comptroller and the FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. In addition, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"), an FDIC-insured depository institution may not make any capital distributions (including the payment of dividends) or pay any management fees to its holding company or pay any dividend if it is undercapitalized or if such payment would cause it to become undercapitalized. At December 31, 1996, under dividend restrictions imposed under applicable federal and state laws, the Subsidiary Banks, without obtaining regulatory approval, could legally declare aggregate dividends of approximately $293 million. The payment of dividends by the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines and debt covenants. 3 5 Transactions with Affiliates There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from the Subsidiary Banks. There are also legal restrictions on the Subsidiary Banks' purchases of or investments in the securities of and purchases of assets from the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, a Subsidiary Bank's loans or extensions of credit to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, the issuance of guaranties, acceptances and letters of credit on behalf of the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, and certain bank transactions with the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, or with respect to which the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries act as agent, participate or have a financial interest. Subject to certain limited exceptions, a Subsidiary Bank (including for purposes of this paragraph all subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Bank) may not extend credit to the Corporation or to any other affiliate (other than another Subsidiary Bank and certain exempted affiliates) in an amount which exceeds 10% of the Subsidiary Bank's capital stock and surplus and may not extend credit in the aggregate to all such affiliates in an amount which exceeds 20% of its capital stock and surplus. Further, there are legal requirements as to the type, amount and quality of collateral which must secure such extensions of credit by the Subsidiary Banks to the Corporation or to such other affiliates. Also, extensions of credit and other transactions between a Subsidiary Bank and the Corporation or such other affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to such Subsidiary Bank as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. Also, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. Capital Adequacy The Federal Reserve has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital ("Total Capital") to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%, and the minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital (defined below) to risk-weighted assets is 4%. At least half of the Total Capital must be composed of common stock, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets ("Tier 1 Capital"). The remainder may consist of qualifying subordinated debt, certain types of mandatory convertible securities and perpetual debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's consolidated Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios were 8.96% and 11.77%, respectively. In addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to quarterly average assets, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (the "Leverage Ratio"), of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specific criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 3%, plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. The Corporation's Leverage Ratio at December 31, 1996 was 6.78%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it will consider a "tangible Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio" (deducting all intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. Each of the Subsidiary Banks is subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements similar to those described above adopted by the Comptroller or the FDIC, as the case may be. The Corporation believes that each of the Subsidiary Banks was in compliance with applicable minimum capital requirements as of December 31, 1996. Neither the Corporation nor any of the Subsidiary Banks has been advised by any federal banking agency of any specific minimum Leverage Ratio requirement applicable to it. Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, and to certain restrictions on its business and in certain circumstances to the appointment of a conservator or receiver. See "--Prompt Corrective Action." 4 6 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 required each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards within 18 months of enactment of the statute to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities, as well as reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. On December 15, 1994, the federal banking agencies adopted amendments to their respective risk-based capital requirements that explicitly identify concentration of credit risk and certain risks arising from non-traditional activities, and the management of such risks, as important factors to consider in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The amendments do not, however, mandate any specific adjustments to the risk-based capital calculations as a result of such factors. On August 2, 1995, the federal banking agencies published amendments to their risk-based capital rules that, effective September 1, 1995, include interest-rate risk as a qualitative factor to be considered in assessing capital adequacy. Concurrent with the publication of the amendments, the federal banking agencies proposed a system for measuring interest-rate risk and announced their intention, after a trial period, to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed system and to initiate a rulemaking process for the purpose of amending the risk-based capital rules to include an explicit capital charge for interest-rate risk that will be based upon the level of a bank's measured interest-rate risk exposure. In August 1996, the federal banking regulators adopted amendments to their risk-based capital rules to incorporate a measure for market risk in foreign exchange and commodity activities and in the trading of debt and equity instruments. These amendments, which become effective at year end 1997, will require banks with relatively large trading activities to calculate a capital charge for market risk using their own internal value-at-risk models (subject to parameters set by the regulators) or, alternatively, risk management techniques developed by the regulators. As a result, in addition to existing capital requirements for credit risk, certain institutions will be required to hold capital based on the measure of their market risk exposure. These institutions will be able to satisfy this additional requirement, in part, by issuing short-term subordinated debt that qualifies as Tier 3 capital. Holding Company Structure and Support of Subsidiary Banks Because the Corporation is a holding company, its right to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors (including depositors in the case of the Subsidiary Banks) except to the extent that the Corporation may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. In addition, depositors of a bank, and the FDIC as their subrogee, would be entitled to priority over the creditors in the event of liquidation of a bank subsidiary. Under Federal Reserve policy, the Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, each of the Subsidiary Banks. This support may be required at times when, absent such Federal Reserve policy, the Corporation may not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment. Cross-Guarantee Liability Under the FDIA, a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution "in danger of default." "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institution. The Subsidiary Banks are subject to these cross-guarantee provisions. As a result, any loss suffered by the FDIC in respect of any of the Subsidiary Banks would likely result in assertion of the cross-guarantee provisions, the assessment of such estimated losses 5 7 against the Corporation's other Subsidiary Banks and a potential loss of the Corporation's investment in such Subsidiary Banks. Prompt Corrective Action The FDIA requires, among other things, the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Under the FDIA, insured depository institutions are divided into five capital tiers: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Under applicable regulations, an institution is defined to be well capitalized if it maintains a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 6% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 10% and is not subject to a directive, order or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. An institution is defined to be adequately capitalized if it meets all of its minimum capital requirements as described above. An institution will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it has a Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio of less than 3% or a Leverage Ratio of less than 3% and critically undercapitalized if it fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to at least 2% of total assets. An institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating. The FDIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. An insured depository institution's holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the institution fails to comply with the plan for the plan to be accepted by the applicable federal regulatory authority. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator, generally within 90 days of the date on which they become critically undercapitalized. The Corporation believes that at December 31, 1996 all of the Subsidiary Banks had sufficient capital to qualify as "well capitalized" under the regulatory capital requirements discussed above. Various other legislation, including proposals to revise the bank regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository institution may make with insured funds, is from time to time introduced in Congress. See the "Effect of Governmental Policies" subsection. Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "IBBEA") authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation beginning one year after enactment. In addition, beginning June 1, 1997, a bank may merge with a bank in another state as long as neither of the states has opted out of interstate branching between the date of enactment of the IBBEA and May 31, 1997. The IBBEA further provides that states may enact laws permitting interstate merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997. A bank may establish and operate a de novo branch in a state in which the bank does not maintain a branch if that state explicitly permits de novo branching. Once a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where any bank involved in the interstate merger transaction could have 6 8 established or acquired branches under applicable federal or state law. A bank that has established a branch in a state through de novo branching may establish and acquire additional branches in such state in the same manner and to the same extent as a bank having a branch in such state as a result of an interstate merger. If a state opts out of interstate branching within the specified time period, no bank in any other state may establish a branch in the opting out of state, whether through an acquisition or de novo. FDIC Insurance Assessments; DIFA The FDIC reduced the insurance premiums it charges on bank deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") to the statutory minimum of $2,000.00 for "well capitalized" banks, effective January 1, 1996. Premiums related to deposits assessed by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), including savings association deposits acquired by banks, continued to be assessed at a rate of between 23 cents and 31 cents per $100.00 of deposits. On September 30, 1996, the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 ("DIFA") was enacted and signed into law. DIFA provided for a special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF to bring the SAIF up to statutory required levels. The assessment imposed a one-time fee to banks that own previously acquired thrift deposits of $ .526 per $100 of thrift deposits they held at March 31, 1995. The pre-tax cost to the Corporation of the one-time assessment in the third quarter of 1996 was $3.8 million. DIFA further provides for assessments to be imposed on insured depository institutions with respect to deposits insured by the BIF (in addition to assessments currently imposed on depository institutions with respect to SAIF-insured deposits) to pay for the cost of Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds. All banks will be assessed to pay the interest due on FICO bonds starting on January 1, 1997. The Corporation expects the cost to the Corporation to be immaterial. Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by a federal bank regulatory agency. Depositor Preference Federal law provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver. Competition. The Corporation and its subsidiaries face substantial competition in all aspects of the businesses in which they engage from national and state banks located in Tennessee and large out-of-state banks as well as from savings and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions, consumer finance companies, trust companies, investment counseling firms, money market mutual funds, insurance companies, securities firms, mortgage banking companies and others. For certain information on the competitive position of the Corporation and the Bank, refer to page 1. Also, refer to the subsections entitled "Supervision and Regulation" and "Effect of Governmental Policies," both of which are relevant to an analysis of the Corporation's competitors. Due to the intense competition in the financial industry, the Corporation makes no representation that its competitive position has remained constant, nor can it predict whether its position will change in the future. Sources and Availability of Funds. Specific reference is made to the Management's Discussion and Analysis and Glossary sections, including the subsection entitled "Deposits, Other Sources of Funds, and Liquidity Management," contained in the 1996 Annual Report, which sections are specifically incorporated herein by reference, along with all of the tables in the 1996 Annual Report, which are identified separately in response to Item 7 of Part II of this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference. As permitted by SEC rules, attached to this Form 10-K as Exhibit 13 are only those sections of the 1996 Annual Report that have been incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. 7 9 Effect of Governmental Policies. The Bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve System and the Comptroller. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national money supply. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve are: purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities in the marketplace; changes in the discount rate, which is the rate any depository institution must pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve; and changes in the reserve requirements of depository institutions. These instruments are effective in influencing economic and monetary growth, interest rate levels and inflation. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System and other governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. Because of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money market, as well as the result of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, it is not possible to predict with certainty future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Corporation and the Bank or whether the changing economic conditions will have a positive or negative effect on operations and earnings. Bills are pending before the United States Congress and the Tennessee General Assembly and other state legislatures and regulations have been proposed by the bank regulatory agencies which could affect the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and there are indications that other bills may be introduced in the future.

PART II ITEM 5 MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS (a) Market for the Corporation's Common Stock: The Corporation's common stock, $1.25 par value, trades over-the-counter on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market System under the symbol FTEN. As of December 31, 1996, there were 9,030 shareholders of record of the Corporation's common stock. Additional information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to the Summary of Quarterly Financial Information Table, the Selected Financial Data Table, Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the "Deposits, Other Sources of Funds, and Liquidity Management" subsection of the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the 1996 Annual Report and to the "Payment of Dividends" and "Transactions with Affiliates" subsections contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. (b) Sale of Unregistered Securities: During 1996, an aggregate of 93 shares of the Corporation's common stock, $1.25 par value, were sold by the Corporation without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The shares were sold on April 16, 1996, to the three new directors of the Corporation for cash at a price of $32.38 per share, for an aggregate total of $3,012, pursuant to the terms of the Corporation's National Bank Director Qualifying Share Purchase Program (the "Director Program"). The price represented the market value on the date of sale. No underwriter was involved in the transaction. The shares were sold pursuant to the Regulation D exemption from registration under the Securities Act (Rules 505 and 506 and Section 4(6)). No unregistered shares were sold by the Corporation during 1995. An aggregate of 54 shares (adjust for stock splits) were sold by the Corporation during 1994 without registration. The shares were sold under the Director Program on January 18, 1994 to a new director for a total purchase price of $1,026. (c) Description of the Corporation's Capital Stock: Authorized Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of the Corporation currently consists of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value ("preferred stock"), which may be issued from time to time by resolution of the 12 14 Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") and 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $1.25 par value (the "common stock"). As of December 31, 1996, there were 66,857,519 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. As of that date, approximately 13 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under various employee stock plans and the Corporation's divided reinvestment plan, and 668,576 shares of preferred stock were reserved for issuance under the Rights Plan (as defined below). Also, the Corporation has on file with the SEC an effective shelf registration pursuant to which it may offer from time to time, at its discretion, senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, including depository shares, and common stock at an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $225 million (net of prior issuances). Preferred Stock. The Board is authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to provide for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, from time to time in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, has the authority to fix the powers (including voting power), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Common Stock. The Board is authorized to issue a maximum of 200,000,000 shares of common stock. The holders of the common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, such dividends as may be declared by the Board from funds legally available therefor, provided that if any shares of preferred stock are at the time outstanding, the payment of dividends on common stock or other distributions (including purchases of common stock) may be subject to the declaration and payment of full cumulative dividends, and the absence of arrearages in any mandatory sinking fund, on outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of the outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each such share on all matters presented to shareholders and are not entitled to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation resulting in a distribution of assets to the shareholders, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive such assets ratably according to their respective holdings after payment of all liabilities and obligations and satisfaction of the liquidation preferences of any shares of preferred stock at the time outstanding. The shares of common stock have no preemptive, redemption, subscription or conversion rights. Under the Corporation's Charter, the Board is authorized to issue authorized shares of common stock without further action by the shareholders. However, the common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market, which requires shareholder approval of the issuance of additional shares of common stock in certain situations. The Transfer Agent for the common stock is Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association. The Board is divided into three classes, which results in approximately 1/3 of the directors being elected each year. In addition, the Charter and the Bylaws, among other things, generally give to the Board the authority to fix the number of directors on the Board and to remove directors from and fill vacancies on the Board, other than removal for cause and the filling of vacancies created thereby which are reserved to shareholders exercising at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding voting stock of the Corporation. To change these provisions of the Bylaws, other than by action of the Board, and to amend these provisions of the Charter or to adopt any provision of the Charter inconsistent with such Bylaw provisions, would require approval by the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all outstanding voting stock. Such classification of the Board and such other provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws may have a significant effect on the ability of the shareholders of the Corporation to change the composition of an incumbent Board or to benefit from certain transactions which are opposed by the Board. Shareholder Protection Rights Plan. Each share of common stock that is currently outstanding has, and each share of common stock that is issued prior to the expiration date described in the next paragraph will have, attached to it one right (a "Right") issued pursuant to a Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement dated as of September 7, 1989, as amended and restated as of January 21, 1997 (the "Rights Plan"). Each Right entitles its holder to purchase 1/100th of a share of Participating Preferred Stock, without par value, for $150.00 (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment, upon the business day following the earlier of (i) the 10th business day (subject to certain adjustments by the Board) after commencement of a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in a person or group owning 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (an "Acquiring Person") and (ii) the first date (the "Flip-in Date") of public announcement by the Corporation that a person has become an Acquiring Person. The Rights will expire on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Time (defined below), (ii) September 18, 1999 and (iii) the date on which the Rights are redeemed as described below. The Board may, at its option, at any time until 10 business 13 15 days after the Flip-in Date, redeem all the Rights at a price of $0.0033 per Right, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Rights Plan. If a Flip-in Date occurs, each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person or its affiliates, associates or transferees, which Rights will become void), will constitute the right to purchase shares of common stock or Participating Preferred Stock having an aggregate market price equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the then-current Exercise Price. In addition, the Board may, at its option, at any time after a Flip-in Date and prior to the time that an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock, elect to exchange the Rights (other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person or its affiliates, associates or transferees) for shares of common stock or a Participating Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock or 1/100th of a share of Participating Preferred Stock per Right (the "Exchange Time"). The Corporation may not agree to be acquired by an Acquiring Person without providing that each Right, upon such acquisition, will constitute the right to purchase common stock of the Acquiring Person having an aggregate market price equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the then-current Exercise Price. The Rights will not prevent a takeover of the Corporation. The Rights, however, may have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 10% or more of the outstanding common stock unless the Rights are first redeemed by the Corporation's Board. Subordinated Capital Notes due 1999. On June 10, 1987, the Corporation issued $75,000,000 principal amount of 103/8% Subordinated Capital Notes Due 1999 (the "Capital Notes"). The Capital Notes currently constitute Tier 2 capital under the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines. Pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 1987 (the "Indenture"), between the Corporation and BankAmerica National Trust Company, formerly Security Pacific National Trust Company (New York), Trustee, at maturity the Capital Notes are required to be exchanged for common stock, preferred stock or certain other eligible capital securities to be issued by the Corporation ("Capital Securities") having a market value equal to the principal amount of the Capital Notes, except to the extent that the Corporation, at its option, shall elect to pay in cash such principal amount from amounts representing proceeds of other issuances of Capital Securities designated for such use.

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

The term of options granted on or before such date may, however, extend beyond that date. 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. (a) The Company may grant options under the Plan authorizing the issuance of no more than 2,100,000 shares of its $1.25 par value (adjusted for any stock splits) common stock, which will be provided from shares purchased in the open market or privately (that became authorized but unissued shares under state corporation law) or by the issuance of previously authorized but unissued shares. (b) Shares as to which options previously granted under this Plan shall for any reason lapse shall be restored to the total number available for grant of options. 5. PLAN ADMINISTRATION. (a) The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") whose members shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, all members shall be directors and shall meet the definitional requirements for "non-employee director" (with any exceptions therein permitted) contained in the then current SEC Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision. (b) The Committee shall adopt such rules of procedure as it may deem proper. (c) The powers of the Committee shall include plenary authority to interpret the Plan, and subject to the provisions hereof, to determine the persons to whom options shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the term of the option, and the date on which options shall be granted. 6. ELIGIBILITY. (a) Options may be granted under the Plan to employees of the Company or any subsidiary selected by the Committee. Determination by the Committee of the employees to whom options shall be granted shall be conclusive. (b) An individual may receive more than one option. 7. OPTION PRICE. The option price per share to be paid by the grantee to the Company upon exercise of the option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted, nor shall the price per share be less than the par value of the share. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the option price per share may be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted if: (a) The grantee of the option has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the grant of the option is in lieu of the payment of compensation; and (b) The amount of such compensation when added to the cash exercise price of the option equals at least 100% of the fair market value (at the time the option is granted) of the shares subject to option. 3 4 "Fair market value" for purposes of the Plan shall be the mean between the high and low sales prices at which shares of the Company were sold on the valuation day as quoted by the Nasdaq Stock Market or, if there were no sales on that day, then on the last day prior to the valuation day during which there were sales. In the event that this method of valuation is not practicable, then the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish the method by which fair market value shall be determined. 8. TERMS OR QUOTAS OF OPTIONS: (a) TERM. Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable only during a term (the "Term of the Option") commencing one year, or such other period of time (which may be less than or more than one year) as is determined to be appropriate by the Committee, after the date when the option was granted and ending (unless the option shall have terminated earlier under other provisions of the Plan) on a date to be fixed by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable in full immediately upon a Change in Control. (b) QUOTAS. The Committee shall have authority to grant options exercisable in full at any time during their term, or exercisable in quotas. Quotas or portions thereof not purchased in earlier periods shall be cumulated and be available for purchase in later periods. In exercising his or her option, the grantee may purchase less than the full quota available to him or her. (c) EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock options shall be exercised by delivering, mailing, or transmitting to the Committee or its designee (for all purposes under the Plan, in the absence of an express designation by the Committee, the Company's Personnel Division Manager is deemed to be the Committee's designee) the following items: (i) A notice, in the form, by the method, and at times prescribed by the Committee, specifying the number of shares to be purchased; and (ii) A check or money order payable to the Company for the full option price. In addition, the Committee in its sole discretion may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay, or make partial payment of, the option price with shares of Company common stock in lieu of cash. In addition, in its sole discretion the Committee may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay for any shares subject to an option by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price (a "cashless exercise"). To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The value of Company common stock surrendered in payment of the exercise price shall be its fair market value, determined pursuant to Section 7, on the date of exercise. Upon receipt of such notice of exercise of a stock option and upon payment of the option price by a method other than a cashless exercise, the Company shall promptly deliver to the grantee a certificate or certificates for the shares purchased, without charge to him or her for issue or transfer tax. (d) POSTPONEMENTS. The Committee may postpone any exercise of an option for such period of time as the Committee in its discretion reasonably believes necessary to prevent any acts or omissions that the Committee reasonably believes will be or will result in the violation of any state or federal law; and the Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan or the terms of any prior grant of an option to recognize the exercise of an option or to sell or issue shares during the period of such postponement. Any such postponement shall automatically extend the time within which the option may be exercised, as follows: The exercise period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of days of the postponement, but in no event shall the exercise period be extended beyond the last day of the postponement for more days than there were remaining in the option exercise period on the first day of the postponement. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, nor any of their respective directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the grantee of an option or to a 4 5 successor with respect to any shares as to which the option shall lapse because of such postponement. (e) NON-TRANSFERABILITY. All options granted under the Plan shall be non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, subject to Section 10 hereof, and an option may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee only by him or her or by his/her guardian or legal representative. (f) CERTIFICATES. The stock certificate or certificates to be delivered under this Plan may, at the request of the grantee, be issued in his or her name or, with the consent of the Company, the name of another person as specified by the grantee. (g) RESTRICTIONS. This subsection (g) shall be void and of no legal effect in the event of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in any other section or subsection herein to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all options, exercises and grantees. An amount equal to the spread realized in connection with the exercise of an option within six months prior to a grantee's voluntary resignation shall be paid to the Company by the grantee in the event that the grantee, within six months following voluntary resignation, engages, directly or indirectly, in any activity determined by the Committee to be competitive with any activity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. (h) TAXES. The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to amounts payable or shares deliverable under the Plan, and the Company may defer making payment or delivery of any benefits under the Plan if any tax is payable until indemnified to its satisfaction. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules which it may adopt, permit a grantee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any federal, state and local withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of a stock option, by electing either: (i) to have the Company withhold shares of Company common stock from the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the option; (ii) to permit a grantee to tender back shares of Company common stock issued upon the exercise of an option; or (iii) to deliver to the Company previously owned shares of Company common stock, having, in the case of (i), (ii), or (iii), a fair market value equal to the amount of the federal, state, and local withholding tax associated with the exercise of the option. (i) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO OPTION AGREEMENTS IN LIEU OF COMPENSATION. If the Committee, in its discretion permits participants to enter into agreements as contemplated by Section 7 herein, then such agreements must be irrevocable and cannot be changed by the participant once made, and such agreements must be made at least prior to the performance of any services with respect to which an option may be granted. If any participant who enters into such an agreement terminates employment prior to the grant of the option, then the option will not be granted and all compensation which would have been covered by the option will be paid to the participant in cash. 9. EXERCISE OF OPTION BY GRANTEE ON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a person to whom an option has been granted shall cease, for a reason other than his or her death, disability, early retirement, retirement, or voluntary resignation, to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary, the option shall terminate three months after the cessation of employment, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Until the option terminates, it may be exercised by the grantee for all or a portion of the shares as to which the right to purchase had accrued under the Plan at the time of cessation of employment, subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions provided in Section 8 hereof. If a person to whom an option has been granted shall retire or become disabled, the option shall terminate five years after the date of early retirement, retirement or disability, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise by a retiree 5 6 or disabled grantee is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of early retirement, retirement or disability, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. If a person shall voluntarily resign, his option to the extent not previously exercised shall terminate at once. 10. EXERCISE OF OPTION AFTER DEATH OF GRANTEE. If the grantee of an option shall die while in the employ of the Company or within three months after ceasing to be an employee, and if the option was in effect at the time of his or her death (whether or not its term had then commenced), the option may, until the expiration of five years from the date of death of the grantee or until the earlier expiration of the term of the option, be exercised by the successor of the deceased grantee. Although such exercise is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of death of the grantee, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. 11. PYRAMIDING OF OPTIONS. The Committee in its sole discretion may from time to time permit the method of exercising options known as pyramiding (the automatic application of shares received upon the exercise of a portion of a stock option to satisfy the exercise price for additional portions of the option). 12. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. No person shall have any rights of a shareholder by virtue of a stock option except with respect to shares actually issued to him or her, and issuance of shares shall confer no retroactive right to dividends. 13. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Any increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company occurring through stock splits or stock dividends after the adoption of the Plan shall be reflected proportionately: (a) in an increase in the aggregate number of shares then available for the grant of options under the Plan, or becoming available through the termination or forfeiture of options previously granted but unexercised; (b) in the number subject to options then outstanding; and (c) in the quotas remaining available for exercise under outstanding options, and a proportionate reduction shall be made in the per-share option price as to any outstanding options or portions thereof not yet exercised. Any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated. If changes in capitalization other than those considered above shall occur, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the number and class of shares for which options may thereafter be granted, and in the number and class of shares remaining subject to options previously granted and in the per-share option price as the Board in its discretion may consider appropriate, and all such adjustments shall be conclusive. 14. TERMINATION, SUSPENSION, OR MODIFICATION OF PLAN. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate, suspend, or modify the Plan, except that the Board of Directors shall not amend the Plan in violation of law. No termination, suspension, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any right acquired by any grantee, or by any successor of a grantee (as provided in Section 10 hereof), under the terms of an option granted before the date of such termination, suspension, or modification, unless such grantee or successor shall consent, but it shall be conclusively presumed that any adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 13 does not adversely affect any such right. 15. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its shares under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes. 16. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any stock option shall confer upon the grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time. 17 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all determinations thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee. 6 7 18. SUCCESSORS. This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The term "Company," as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan. 7 EX-10.C 5 1-27-97 AMEND. TO FTNC 1989 RESTRICTED STOCK INCEN 1 EXHIBIT 10(c) 1-21-97 AMENDMENT TO FIRST TENNESSEE NATIONAL CORPORATION 1989 RESTRICTED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN ___________________________________________ 1. The first sentence of Section 1 of the First Tennessee National Corporation 1989 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is amended by inserting the phrase "and any successor thereto" after the second reference to "First Tennessee National Corporation" in such sentence. 2. Subsection (g) of Section 5 of the Plan is amended by deleting the second sentence of subsection (g) and the balance of the subsection following the second sentence and substituting therefor the following: A "Change in Control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; (ii) any "Person" (as defined under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securitie Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the "Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a "Subsidiary"), (B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)); (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's shareholders, whether for such 2 transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a "Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Computations required by paragraph (iii) shall be made on and as of the date of shareholder approval and shall be based on reasonable assumptions that will result in the lowest percentage obtainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur. 3. The Plan is amended by adding a new Section 15 at the end thereof, which will read as follows: 15. Successors. This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.

R. "Total Compensation" means the sum of Base Salary and Incentive Compensation, or, in the case of a Nonemployee Director, the sum of the Director's retainer and fees. IV. TERM This plan is effective on the date hereof and shall be effective until terminated by the Board; however, this Plan provides only for a deferral and corresponding interest rate for the first Plan Year with subsequent deferrals and corresponding interest rates to be approved by the Committee for each separate Plan Year. This Plan may be amended, renewed, restated or extended for additional Plan Years by the Committee and the Committee may in its sole discretion, on the basis of financial or other considerations, not authorize the execution of Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements by Participants prospectively deferring compensation for additional years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the termination nor any amendment of the Plan or any Deferral and 4 5 Acknowledgment Agreement shall, without the consent of the Participant, affect the Participant's rights under any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement in existence on the date of such termination or amendment. V. DEFERRAL AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT AGREEMENT A. Election to Defer. As hereinafter provided and subject to acceptance by the Company, a Participant may elect to reduce the amount of Total Compensation which will be paid to him or her during the Plan Year by executing and delivering to the Company in a timely fashion a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the ten consecutive Plan Years commencing with the Plan Year with respect to which a Participant is first authorized to participate in the Plan, such Participant may elect to make no more than five deferrals. The preceding sentence does not confer upon any Participant the right to make a deferral with respect to any Plan Year; it merely places a limitation upon the total number of deferrals a Participant may make if otherwise authorized to participate in the Plan, except for Participants who are Nonemployee Directors who may elect to make no more than six deferrals. Notwithstanding the 10-year limitation in this Section V(A), employee Participants may make salary deferrals for the 1995 Plan Year unless such a deferral would cause the Participant to exceed the five deferral limitation. B. Creation of Contractual Obligation. The Company, by acceptance of a properly executed and timely delivered Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement agrees to pay to the Participant or his or her Designated Beneficiary, as defined in Paragraph VII, the benefits described in Paragraph VI, which shall be calculated based upon (i) the amount of the Total Compensation deferred by each Participant, (ii) the interest rate established for the Plan Year by the Committee applied to the amount deferred, (iii) the time which elapses between the date of deferral and the date of the benefit payments, and (iv) other factors established in this Plan and by the Committee. C Acceptance. The Administrator is authorized to accept and approve a properly executed Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement on behalf of the Company. D. Timing of Election. A Participant may execute and deliver to the Company a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement: 1. on or before December 15 of any calendar year, however, such a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement shall be effective to reduce a Participant's Total Compensation only for the next subsequent Plan Year; 2. in the first Plan Year only, on or before July 31, 1985, however, such a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement may be executed an delivered only by a Participant who is employed as an employee or is a Nonemployee Director on June 1, 1985 and is only effective to reduce a Participant's Total Compensation earned during the period from the date of the execution and delivery of the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement until the end of the first Plan Year of this Plan; 3. notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment 5 6 Agreement, no Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement shall be effective to defer compensation which is earned by any Participant on or before the date upon which the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement is properly executed and timely delivered to the Company. E. Amount of Deferral. A Participant who is not a Nonemployee Director may elect to defer during any Plan Year any dollar amount which is less than or equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of a Participant's Total Compensation applicable to the Plan Year. However, a Nonemployee Director may defer any dollar amount which is less than or equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his or her Director's Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement or this Plan to the contrary, the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement of a Participant shall be modified automatically if necessary such that all actual reductions pursuant to his or her Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement are made from his or her Base Salary or Incentive Compensation or, in the case of a Nonemployee Director, from his or her Director's Compensation. F. Accrual of Interest. Where applicable under the terms of this Plan, interest on the amounts in an Accrual Account shall accrue interest at the Applicable Rate, commencing on the date on which the Total Compensation deferred under the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement would have been paid. The Applicable Rate may be adjustable only on an annual basis, effective January 1 of each Plan Year; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Applicable Rate may affect amounts previously accrued. Notwithstanding the provisions of the prior sentence, the Applicable Rate will be replaced by the Guaranteed Rate if the Plan otherwise requires a recalculation of interest at the Guaranteed Rate. The Applicable Rate for the first Plan Year shall be the Projected Rate and shall remain so unless adjusted by the Committee as set forth herein. VI. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS A. Retirement Benefit. If a Participant terminates employment with the Company and such termination constitutes a Normal Retirement, then the Company shall pay to the Participant the monthly benefit defined in Paragraph 2 of each of his or her Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements on those dates specified in this paragraph. The first benefit payable under Paragraph 2 of a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement shall be paid on the thirty-first (31st) day of January following the calendar year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement executed by a Participant which defers compensation which would otherwise be payable to the Participant in or after the Plan Year in which he or she attains Normal Retirement shall provide that the first benefit payable shall be paid on the thirty-first (31st) day of January following the later of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date upon which the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement is accepted by the Company or (ii) his or her Normal Retirement. B. Alternative Retirement Benefit. If a Participant, prior to a Change in Control, is, on the date of Normal Retirement, or becomes thereafter, but prior to a Change in Control, a proprietor, officer, partner, or employee of, or otherwise is or becomes, prior to a Change in Control, affiliated with (i) any business that is in competition with the Company or (ii) any government agency having 6 7 regulatory jurisdiction over the business activities of the Company, then, upon that date, no further benefit payments shall be made to the Participant or any other person under any provision of this Plan, except that, the Participant shall be paid in lump sum on the thirty-first (31st) day of January following that date, an amount equal to the value of the Accrual Account recalculated over the entire period of deferral at an interest rate equal to the Guaranteed Rate, compounded annually, from the date on which the deferred compensation would have been paid to the date on which the act occurs or status is first attained. In the event Interim Distributions are made to the Participant, said payments shall reduce the amount to which the Guaranteed Rate is applied. If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by the Company. C. Interim Distributions. A Participant shall be paid the benefits defined in Paragraph 3 of his or her Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement on those dates stated in that paragraph of each Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Interim Distributions"). However, no Interim Distribution shall be paid to any Participant as a result of the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement if the Participant is age fifty-eight (58) or older on any day during the Plan Year in which a Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement is executed. No Interim Distribution shall be paid to a Participant on or after the date upon which the Participant or his or her Designated Beneficiary receives any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or any other paragraph of his or her Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. D. Pre-Retirement, Pre-Disability Death Benefit. If a Participant dies on or before the date upon which he or she is first entitled to receive a benefit under this paragraph, then his or her Designated Beneficiary, as defined in Paragraph VII, shall be paid in lump sum or, at the discretion of the Administrator, in five (5) annual installments with interest paid on the unpaid balance at the Applicable Rate, an amount equal to the value of the Accrual Account. In the event Interim Distributions are made to the participant, said payments shall reduce the amount to which the Applicable Rate is applied. If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from or enforced against the Designated Beneficiary or the Participant's estate as a claim by the Company. If the Participant's Designated Beneficiary receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or under any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. The benefit payable under this paragraph, if lump sum, shall be paid on the thirty-first day of January following the Participant's date of death (including interest thereon at the Applicable Rate). In the event installment payments are elected, said payments shall commence on the thirty-first day of January following the Participant's death and continue thereafter on January 31st of each successive year. E. Pre-Retirement Disability Benefit. If a Participant suffers a Disability or becomes Disabled, as those terms are defined in the First Tennessee National Corporation Long Term Disability Income Plan, as amended from time to time, prior to that date upon which he or she receives or is entitled to receive a benefit under this paragraph, then he or she shall be paid by the Company in lump sum, or at the discretion of the Administrator, in five (5) annual installments with interest paid on the unpaid balance at the Applicable Rate, an amount equal to the value of the 7 8 Accrual Account. In the event Interim Distributions are made to a Participant, said payments shall reduce the amount to which the Applicable Rate is applied. If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by the Company. If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or under any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. The benefit payable under this paragraph, if lump sum, shall be paid on the thirty-first (31st) day of January following the Participant's date of Disability (including interest thereon at the Applicable Rate). In the event installments payments are elected, said payments shall commence on the thirty-first day of January following the Participant's Disability and continue thereafter on January 31st of each successive year. F. Termination of Employment Prior to Retirement. If a Participant, prior to a Change in Control, terminates employment with the Company or is terminated by the Company for Cause and if such termination is prior to death, disability and Normal Retirement, then he or she shall be paid in lump sum on the thirty-first (31st) day of January following his or her date of termination an amount equal to the value of the Accrual Account recalculated over the entire period of deferral at an interest rate equal to the Guaranteed Rate, compounded annually, from the date on which the deferred compensation would have been paid to the date on which the benefit herein is paid. In the event Interim Distributions are made, said payments shall reduce the amount to which the Guaranteed Rate is applied. If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by the Company. If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall then or thereafter receive any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's termination occurs prior to a Change in Control and prior to death, disability and Normal Retirement and is as the result of any reason other than voluntary termination, or a termination by the Company for Cause, then the value of the Accrual Account distributed to such Participant shall be calculated over the entire period of deferral at the Applicable Rate. G. Early Retirement Benefit. If a Participant other than a Nonemployee Director terminates employment with the Company after the date on which he or she qualifies to receive an early retirement benefit, as defined in the First Tennessee National Corporation Pension Plan, or if a Participant who is a Nonemployee Director terminates as a director of the Company after at least 10 years of service as a director of the Company, then the Participant shall be entitled to receive a monthly benefit as described in paragraph 2 of each of his or her Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements, however, the Accrual Account shall be recalculated over the entire period of deferral using an interest rate equal to the Guaranteed Rate (unless a higher rate is approved by the Committee). In addition, said benefit shall commence on the later of (i) the thirty-first (31st) day of January following the calendar year in which the Participant commences early retirement, or (ii) the January 31 of the year immediately following the fifth anniversary of the execution date of the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement (unless a later date, which is prior to or coincident with the Participant's attainment of the age of 65, is approved by the Committee). In the event Interim Distributions are made, said payments shall reduce the amount to which the Guaranteed Rate is 8 9 applied. If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by the Company. If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall then or thereafter receive any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. H. Change in Control. (i) This Section VI.H(i) applies solely to Participants who are current or former Nonemployee Directors. After a Change in Control, the value of the Accrual Account distributed to a Participant or to the trustee of a trust for the benefit of one or more Participants shall be calculated over the entire period of deferral through the date of the Change in Control at the Applicable Rate. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Applicable Rate unless the Participant voluntarily terminates or is terminate by the Company for Cause, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of the Change in Control at the Guaranteed Rate. Thus, if a Participant's termination occurs on or after a Change in Control and is the result of any reason other than a voluntary termination or a termination by the Company for Cause, then the value of the Accrual Account distributed to such Participant shall be calculated over the entire period of deferral at the Applicable Rate. (ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event a Change in Control or "Pre-Change in Control Date" (as defined below) occurs, the Company shall make a lump sum payment (a "Payment") to each Participant other than current or former Nonemployee Directors (except as provided below) on a date (the "Payment Date") no later than 2 business days after the Change in Control has occurred (or, if an agreement to effectuate a Change in Control pursuant to a Business Combination has been executed, on the date (the "Pre-Change in Control Date") that is the third business day prior to the date the Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes in good faith will be the effective date of the Change in Control, but in any event prior to the effective date of such Change in Control). For purposes of this Section VI.H (ii), "Determination Date" shall mean the date of the Change in Control (or, if an agreement to effectuate a Change in Control pursuant to a Business Combination has been executed, the date one month prior to the date such agreement was executed). If a Payment is to be made, the amount of the Payment shall be determined as follows: (1) (a) If on the Payment Date a Participant is (I) employed by the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that any Participant whose employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below) on or after the Determination Date shall be deemed solely for purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a) to be employed on the Payment Date by the Company or any Subsidiary), (II) receiving or entitled to receive benefits under Section VI.A, or (III) otherwise designated by the Committee as eligible to receive benefits under this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a), the Company shall pay on the Payment Date to such Participant a Payment in an amount equal to the present value as of the Payment Date of the remaining scheduled Interim Distributions and 9 10 retirement distributions to be made to such Participant as of December 31, 1996 (based upon assumed continued accruals at an interest rate equal to the Applicable Rate effect on December 31, 1996, as disclosed to such Participant by the Company in its statement of benefits under this Plan), to the extent such distributions have not been made; provided, that in the event a Participant eligible for a Payment under this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a) has already received prior to the Payment Date a lump sum benefit under Section VI.F, the amount of Payment to such Participant shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of the Payment determined under this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a) (without regard to this proviso), over (y) the amount of the lump sum benefit already received pursuant to Section VI.F. For purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a), the "present value" shall be determined on an interest-only basis (i.e., without discount for mortality) using a discount rate of 4.2%, compounded annually (see Exhibit B for an illustration of such present value calculation). (b) For purposes of Section VI.H(ii), termination by the Company of a Participant's employment for "Cause" shall mean termination upon (I) the willful and continued failure by such Participant to perform substantially such Participant's duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from such Participant's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to such Participant by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such person believes that such Participant has not substantially performed such Participant's duties, which failure to perform causes material and demonstrable economic harm to the Company or its Affiliates (as defined below), (II) the willful engaging by such Participant in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or (III) the conviction of such Participant of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by such Participant to, a felony. For purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b), no act, or failure to act, on such Participant's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by such Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that such Participant's action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or other senior executive officer of the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by such Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b), "Affiliate" means any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. It is also expressly understood that such Participant's attention to matters or such Participant's engagement in activities not directly related to the business of the Company shall not provide a basis for termination for Cause so long as the Board has approved such Participant's engagement in such activities prior to or following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clause (I) or (II) of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b), such Participant shall not be deemed to have been terminated for 10 11 Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to such Participant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board (excluding such Participant if such Participant is a Board member) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to such Participant and an opportunity for such Participant, together with such Participant's counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board such Participant was guilty of the conduct set forth above in clause (I) or (II) of this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The Company must notify such Participant of any event constituting Cause within ninety (90) days following the Company's knowledge of its existence or such event shall not constitute Cause under this Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b). (2) If on the Payment Date a Participant is (a) entitled to receive a lump sum benefit under Section VI.B or (b) entitled to receive a lump sum benefit under Section VI.F (other than any Participant eligible to receive a Payment pursuant to the proviso in clause (I) of Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a)), the Company shall pay on the Payment Date to such Participant a Payment in an amount equal to the amount of such lump sum benefit otherwise payable under such applicable Section to such Participant (with continued interest accruals through the Payment Date only). (3) If on the Payment Date a Participant is receiving or entitled to receive benefits under Section VI.G (other than any Participant designated by the Committee as eligible to receive benefits under Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a)(III) above), the Company shall pay on the Payment Date to such Participant a Payment in an amount equal to the unpaid balance as of the Payment Date of the Accrual Account (as recalculated under Section VI.G) in respect of such Participant; provided, that if such Participant has begun receiving monthly payments under Section VI.G, the Payment shall be in an amount equal to the present value as of the Payment Date of the remaining monthly payments to be made to such Participant under Section VI.G. For purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(3), the "present value" shall be determined in the same manner as under Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a), except that the discount rate of 4.2% shall be replaced by the discount rate used to determine (under such Participant's applicable Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement or Agreements) the monthly payments that are currently being paid to such Participant. (4) If on the Payment Date a Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) is receiving or entitled to receive a benefit under Section VI.D or Section VI.E, the Company shall pay on the Payment Date to such Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) a Payment in an amount equal to the amount of such lump sum benefit otherwise payable under such applicable Section to such Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) (with continued interest accruals through the Payment Date only); provided, that if such Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) is scheduled to receive such benefit in installments, the Company shall pay to such Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) 11 12 the unpaid balance as of the Payment Date of the Accrual Account in respect of such Participant; provided, further, that if such Participant (or such Participant's Designated Beneficiary) has begun to receive installment payments under Section VI.D or Section VI.E, the Payment shall be in an amount equal to the present value as of the Payment Date of the remaining installment payments to be made to such Participant under such applicable Section. For purposes of this Section VI.H(ii)(4), the "present value" shall be determined in the same manner as under Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a), except that the discount rate of 4.2% shall be replaced by the discount rate used by the Administrator to determine the installment payments that are currently being paid to such Participant. If any Participant receives a payment pursuant to this Section VI.H(ii), then no persons or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other paragraph of this Plan or under any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. (iii) The provisions of Section VI.H(ii) shall not apply to a Participant who is a current or former Nonemployee Director; provided, however, that the provisions of Section VI.H(ii) shall apply to the extent any Participant defers Base Salary or Incentive Compensation earned while such Participant was not a Nonemployee Director. VII. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION Upon the death of the Participant, any benefit or benefits remaining to be paid to the Participant under the terms and conditions of this Plan, shall be paid to that person or persons designated by the Participant in the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement governing said benefit or benefits. If no Designated Beneficiary has been chosen by the Participant or if no Designated Beneficiary is then living on the date of the Participant's death, then the remaining benefit or benefits shall be paid to the personal representative, executor, or administrator of the Participant's estate who shall be deemed to be a Designated Beneficiary. VIII. RECALCULATION EVENTS A. Treatment of This Plan Under Applicable Federal Income Tax Laws. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan is conditioned upon (i) the applicability of Section 451 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code") to the Participant's recognition of gross income as a result of his or her participation, (ii) the fact that Participants will not recognize gross income as a result of participation in this Plan until and to the extent that benefits are received, (iii) the applicability of Code Section 404 (a) (5) to the deductibility of the amounts paid to Participants hereunder, (iv) the fact that the Company will not receive a deduction for amounts credited to any accounting reserve created as a result of this Plan until and only to the extent that benefits are paid, and (v) the very limited applicability of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. If 12 13 the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or any court determines or find as a fact or legal conclusion that any of the above conditions is untrue and issues or intends to issue an assessment, determination, opinion or report stating such, or if the opinion of the legal counsel of the Company based upon legal authorities then existing is that any of the above assumptions is incorrect, then, if the Committee so elects, a Recalculation Event shall be deemed to have occurred. If a Recalculation Event occurs under this or any other section of this Plan, then the Participant thereafter, or a Designated Beneficiary, shall be paid benefits on the dates stated in Paragraph VI, herein, or in the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement; however, the amount of each benefit stated in Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement shall be recalculated and restated, at the Committee's discretion, using a rate of interest not less than the Guaranteed Rate nor more than the Projected Rate on each date upon which interest should have been or will be calculated, compounded annually. If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit as a result of the occurrence of a Recalculation Event, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other Paragraph of this Plan or under any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. B. Changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Subsequent to December 15, 1992, and prior to a Change in Control, (1) if Code Section 11(b) is deleted or amended or a surtax or other addition to tax is imposed hereafter and, as a result thereof, the amount of federal income tax imposed on taxable income of corporations in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) is less than thirty-four percent (34%), (2) if a tax is imposed by the federal government on income, sales, consumption, or the value of goods and services which is not currently contained in the Code, or (3) if the Code is amended or restated so extensively that in the opinion of the legal counsel of the Company the tax treatment of this Plan to the Company has materially changed to the detriment of the Company, then, if the Committee so elects, a Recalculation Event shall be deemed to have occurred and a benefit will be payable only as described in Paragraph VIII.A. [Plan does not contain a Section IX.] X. CLAIMS PROCEDURE A. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. B. Benefit Payments. All benefits described in this Plan shall be paid when due. In the event the Participant or Designated Beneficiary fails to receive a benefit which he or she feels is due, a written claim for the benefit shall be submitted in writing to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review the claim when filed and advise the claimant as to whether the claim is approved or denied. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator shall furnish a written denial within 90 days after receipt of the filed claim unless special circumstances required an extension of time for processing the claim, in which case the Administrator shall furnish the written denial within 180 days after receipt of the filed claim. The written denial shall contain (a) the specific reason or reasons for denial; (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an 13 14 explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (d) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to appeal the denial of the claim. C. Appeal. The claimant may appeal the denial of the claim to the Committee within 90 days after receipt of such decision. The appeal shall be in writing addressed to the Committee and shall state the reason why it should grant the appeal. The Committee shall conduct a full and fair review of the claim and shall issue its decision within 60 days of the receipt of the appeal unless there are special circumstances, in which case a decision shall be rendered within 120 days of the receipt of the appeal. The Committee's decision shall be in writing, stating the reasons therefor and shall make specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. D. Binding Effect. The Committee's decision upon appeal, or the Administrator's initial decision if no appeal is taken, shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties. E. Claims after Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in Section X to the contrary, after a Change in Control: 1. Subsection (D) shall be inoperative; 2. the "90" and "180" day periods in subsection (B) shall be changed to "15" and "30" day periods, respectively; 3. the "90", "60" and "120" day periods in subsection (C) shall be changed to "30", "15", and "30" day periods, respectively; and 4. if the claim has not been wholly approved within 90 days after receipt by the Administrator, then the claimant may bring a lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce claimant's rights under the Plan. All attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by claimant in connection with such litigation shall be the obligation of and shall be paid on a timely basis by the Company regardless of whether claimant prevails in such litigation. XI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS A. Governing Law. This Plan and the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements are subject to the laws of the State of Tennessee. B. Successors This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if 14 15 no such succession had taken place. The term "Company," as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan. C. Discharge of Company's Obligation. The payment by the Company of the benefits due under each and every Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement to the Participant or to the Designated Beneficiary discharges the Company's obligations hereunder, and the Participant has no further rights under this Plan or the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements upon receipt by the appropriate person of all benefits. D. Social Security and Income Tax Withholding. The Participants agree as a condition of participation hereunder that the Company may withhold federal, state, and local income taxes and Social Security taxes from any distribution or benefit paid hereunder. E. Notice; Delivery of Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered hereunder and any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement is properly delivered to the Company when personally delivered to, or actually received from the United States mail, postage prepaid, by the Administrator. F. Nature of Obligations Created Hereunder. The Participants agree as a condition of participation hereunder that: 1. the Company only has a contractual obligation to make payments to or on behalf of the Participants, and the rights of Participants under this Plan and the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreements are no greater than the rights of any general unsecured creditor of the Company; 2. to the extent that any person, other than a Participant, acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement, such right is no greater than the rights of any general unsecured creditor of the Company; 3. nothing contained in this Plan or any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant; 4. the rights of any Participant may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or encumbered, nor shall any interest of the Participant be liable to the claim of any creditor of the Participant or subject to any judicial process involving the Participant; 5. no Participant shall have any rights in any specific assets of the Company, and any accounting reserve established as a result of the Plan only reflects a contractual obligation of the Company on its books of accounting and does not constitute a segregated fund of assets or separation of assets, and the obligations of the Company 15 16 only are payable from its operating assets at the time the payment is due. 6. neither this Plan nor any Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement constitutes a modification of the employment conditions of any Participant, and no right to continued employment is created by this Plan or the Deferral and Acknowledgment Agreement. 16 17 EXHIBIT A DEFERRAL AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TENNESSEE NATIONAL CORPORATION DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN --------------------------------------------------- 1. Amount of Deferral. I, ________________________________________________, hereby agree to participate in the First Tennessee National Corporation Directors and Executives Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan"). I have read the Plan in its entirety and agree to its terms and conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, I elect to defer from my Base Salary to be paid to me in 19__, and from my Incentive Compensation payable in 19__, if any, the following: (a)__________________ Dollars or __________% from my Base Salary; (b)__________________ Dollars or __________% from my Incentive Compensation Annual Award; (c)__________________ Dollars or __________% from my Incentive Compensation Long-Term Award*; (d) Other (Explain) _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ * Only cash award may be deferred. I understand that my Base Salary and Incentive Compensation which ordinarily would be paid to me will be reduced by the amount of my deferral. I recognize that I am entitled to benefits hereunder and that this Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. 2. Retirement Benefits. Retirement benefits will begin on January 31 following the later of (1) the fifth anniversary of the execution of this Agreement or (2) the Normal Retirement date, as set forth in the Plan. In consideration for my deferral, the Company shall pay to me the following benefits from my Accrual Account on the dates specified in Paragraph VI of the Plan, if I am entitled to these benefits under the terms and conditions of the Plan: A total of one hundred eighty (180) monthly payments, calculated initially as 180 equal payments, including interest at the Applicable Rate in effect on January 1 following attainment of Normal Retirement. In the event the Applicable Rate in effect on the date of the first payment hereunder is changed during the period in which benefits are being paid, a recalculation of the monthly benefit for the remaining period shall be made to reflect the change in the Applicable Rate. 18 3. Interim Distributions. In consideration for my deferral, the Company shall pay to me the benefits set forth on Exhibit "B", a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, on January 31 of each year in which I am entitled to receive such benefits under the terms and conditions of the Plan. An Interim Distribution shall be payable so long as the value of the Accrual Account equals or exceeds the value of the benefit payable. In the event that, on any January 31 of a year in which an Interim Distribution is payable the value of the Accrual Account is less than the amount of the scheduled payment, then the balance of the Accrual Account shall be paid to the Participant and no further benefits shall be payable under the Plan. 4. Primacy of Plan. I recognize that I am entitled to benefits hereunder and that this Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. 5. Designated Beneficiary.

A new paragraph 6 is added at the end of [each of] the Agreement[s] to read in its entirety as follows: "6. Change in Control. (I) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or the "Pre-Change in Control Date" (as defined below) occurs, if on the "Payment Date" (as defined below) I am (a) employed by the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that if my employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b) of the Plan) on or after the Determination Date, I shall be deemed solely for purposes of this paragraph 6(i)(a) to be employed on the Payment Date by the Company or any Subsidiary), (b) receiving or entitled to receive benefits under Section VI.A of the Plan, or (c) otherwise designated by the Committee as eligible to receive benefits under Section VI.H(ii)(1)(a)(III) of the Plan, the Company shall make a lump sum payment ("Payment") to me on a date (the "Payment Date") no later than 2 business days after the Change in Control has occurred (or, if an agreement to effectuate a Change in Control pursuant to a Business Combination has been executed, on the date (the "Pre-Change in Control Date") that is the third business day prior to the date of Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes in good faith will be the effective date of such Change in Control, but in any event prior to the effective date of such Change in Control).

(iii) If a Change in Control of the Company were to occur on a date after the date (a) all scheduled Interim Distributions and retirement distributions (as described on Exhibit 1) under the Plan have been distributed to me, or (b) a distribution or series of distributions (other than in connection with a Change in Control of the Company) in lieu of such scheduled Interim Distributions and retirement distributions has been distributed to me, I would not receive any additional benefits as a result to such Change in Control, except that if (x) I am eligible for a Payment under paragraph 6(i)(a) above, (y) my employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section VI.H(ii)(1)(b) of the Plan) on or after the Determination Date, and (z) I have received a lump sum benefit under Section VI.F of the Plan, I will be entitled to the Payment described in the proviso of paragraph 6(ii). The amounts shown on the attached Exhibit 2 would be the total amounts payable under paragraphs 6(i) and 6(ii) above (taking into account any payment made pursuant to Section VI.F of the Plan, if applicable) if the Payment were made on the possible Change in Control dates shown on Exhibit 2. The possible Change in Control dates shown on Exhibit 2 are for illustrative purposes only, however, and are not an indication that a Change in Control of the Company will occur, is projected to occur or that there is any current plan to effect a Change in Control of the Company. (iv) If I am not eligible for a Payment under clause (a), (b), or (c) of paragraph 6(i) above, then in the event a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, my benefits under this Agreement (and the amount of any lump sum payment otherwise payable to me under the Plan) will be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section VI.H(ii) of the Plan. (v) It is understood that all references to Sections and defined terms used in this paragraph 6 are references to such Sections and defined terms as in effect as of the date hereof under the Plan. Any amendment or modification of such Sections or defined terms shall not, without my written consent, adversely affect my rights under this Agreement."

"Change in Control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a "Subsidiary"), (B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii));

or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. -2- 3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur. B. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, the benefits payable under the Plan (both benefits that have accrued at the time of such Change in Control and benefits that accrue thereafter) shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may not be reduced or terminated after such Change in Control for any individual who was a participant in the Plan at the time of such Change in Control. -3- EX-10.K 12 FORM OF SEVERENCE AGREEMENT 1-28-97 1 EXHIBIT 10(k) January 28, 1997 [Employee's name] First Tennessee National Corporation 165 Madison Avenue Memphis, Tennessee 38103 Dear [Employee]: First Tennessee National Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (including any successor thereto, the "Company"), considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control may arise and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company's management to their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company. In particular, the Board believes it important, should the Company or its shareholders receive a proposal for transfer of control of the Company, that you be able, if requested, to assess and advise the Board whether such proposal would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and to take such other action regarding such proposal as the Board might determine to be appropriate, without being influenced by the uncertainties of your own situation. In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the Company, this letter agreement, which has been approved by the Board, sets forth certain benefits which the Company agrees will be provided to you in the event of a "change in control" of the Company under the circumstances described below. 2 1. Agreement to Provide Services; Right to Terminate. (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (ii) below, the Company or you may terminate your employment at any time, subject to the Company's providing the benefits hereinafter specified in accordance with the terms hereof. (ii) In the event a tender offer or exchange offer is made by a Person (as hereinafter defined) for more than 20 percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the Company's out standing securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors, including shares of the common capital stock of First Tennessee National Corporation, par value $1.25 per share (the "Company Voting Securities"), you agree that you will not leave the employ of the Company (other than as a result of Disability, Retirement, or upon an event which would constitute Good Reason if such event occurred after a change in control of the Company, as such terms are hereinafter defined) and will render the services contemplated in the recitals to this Agreement until such tender offer or exchange offer has been abandoned or terminated or a change in control of the Company, as defined in Section 3 hereof, has occurred; provided, however, that such obligation shall not extend for a period exceeding one hundred and eighty (180) days from the initial event resulting in the obligation under this paragraph (ii). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Person" shall mean and include any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or other "person", as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company, an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a "Subsidiary"), or any employee stock ownership or other employee benefit plan or trust sponsored by the Company or a Subsidiary. 2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect until you or the Company shall have given three (3) years prior written notice of termination of this Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the delivery of any such notice, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, as defined in Section 3 hereof, if such change in control shall have occurred during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate if you or the Company terminate your employment prior to a change in control of the Company, unless you reasonably demonstrate that such termination of employment was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a change in control or otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a change in control, in which case your employment shall for all purposes 2 3 of this Agreement be deemed to have been terminated by you for Good Reason immediately following a change in control of the Company. 3. Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "change in control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; (ii) any Person is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company Voting Securities; provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (B) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)); (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a "Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 60% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were 3 4 outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur. 4. Termination Following Change in Control. If any of the events described in Section 3 hereof constituting a change in control of the Company shall have occurred, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5 upon your termination of employment within thirty-six (36) months following such change in control; provided, however, that you shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5(viii) whether or not your employment has been terminated. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability," "Retirement," "Cause" and "Good Reason" have the meanings set forth below in this Section 4. 4 5 (i) Disability. Termination by the Company of your employment based on "Disability" shall mean termination because of your "disability" under the Company's Long Term Disability Plan, or any successor or substitute plan or plans of the Company, in effect immediately prior to the change in control of the Company. (ii) Retirement. Termination by you or by the Company of your employment based on "Retirement" shall mean termination as a result of your mandatory retirement in accordance with the Company's retirement policy generally applicable to similarly situated officers, as in effect immediately prior to the change in control of the Company, or in accordance with any retirement arrangement established with your written consent. (iii) Cause. Termination by the Company of your employment for "Cause" shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by you to perform substantially your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such person believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, which failure to perform causes material and demonstrable economic harm to the Company or its Affiliates, (b) the willful engaging by you in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or (c) the conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony. For purposes of this paragraph (iii), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or other senior executive officer of the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, "Affiliate" means any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. It is also expressly understood that your attention to matters or your engagement in activities not directly related to the business of the Company shall not provide a basis for termination for Cause so long as the Board has approved your engagement in such activities prior to or following a change in control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clause (a) or (b) of this paragraph (iii), you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the 5 6 affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board (excluding you if you are a Board member) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board you were guilty of the conduct set forth above in (a) or (b) of this paragraph (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The Company must notify you of any event constituting Cause within ninety (90) days following the Company's knowledge of its existence or such event shall not constitute Cause under this Agreement. (iv) Good Reason. Termination by you of your employment for "Good Reason" shall mean termination based upon the occurrence after a change in control of the Company of any of the following events, without your written consent specifically acknowledging that any such event shall not give rise to Good Reason under this Agreement: (A) a determination by you, in your reasonable judgment, that there has been an adverse change in your status, title(s) or position(s) with the Company as in effect immediately prior to the change in control, including, without limitation, any adverse change in your status, title(s) or position(s) as a result of a diminution in your duties or responsibilities, or the assignment to you of any duties or responsibilities which are inconsistent with such status, title(s), or position(s) as in effect immediately prior to the change in control, or any removal of you from, or any failure to reappoint or reelect you to, such position(s) (except in connection with the termination of your employment for Cause, Disability or Retirement or as a result of your death or by you other than for Good Reason); (B) a reduction by the Company in your base salary or annual target bonus opportunity (including any adverse change in the formula for such annual bonus target) as in effect immediately prior to the change in control or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; (C) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any employee benefit plan, compensation plan, welfare benefit plan or material fringe benefit plan in which you are participating immediately prior to such change in control or the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect your participation in or reduce your benefits under any such plan, unless you are permitted to participate in other plans providing you with substantially equivalent benefits in the aggregate (at substantially equivalent cost with respect to welfare benefit plans); 6 7 (D) the failure by the Company to provide and credit you with the number of paid vacation days to which you are then entitled in accordance with the Company's normal vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the change in control; (E) the Company's requiring you to (i) be based at (a) an office that is greater than 25 miles from where your office is located immediately prior to the change in control or (b) at an office not appropriate for your position (including, without limitation, your removal from the Company's principal executive offices), except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which you undertook on behalf of the Company prior to the change in control, or (ii) travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than was required immediately prior to the change in control; (F) the failure by the Company to obtain from any Successor (as hereinafter defined) the assent to this Agreement contemplated by Section 6 hereof; (G) any purported termination by the Company of your employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of paragraph (v) below (and, if applicable, paragraph (iii) above); and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective; or (H) any refusal by the Company to continue to allow you to attend to matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the Company which, prior to the change in control, you were permitted by the Board to attend to or engage in. An isolated and inadvertent action taken in good faith and which is remedied by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive shall not constitute Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, termination of your employment for any or no reason (other than Cause or Retirement) during the 30-day period commencing one (1) year after the date of a change in control shall constitute termination for Good Reason; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if a change in control pursuant to Section 3(iii) shall have occurred and such change in control would not have occurred if (x) "60%" in subclause (A) of such Section 3(iii) were replaced by "50%" and (y) "two-thirds (2/3)" in subclause (C) of such Section 3(iii) were replaced by "a majority". For purposes of this Agreement, "Plan" shall mean any compensation plan such as an incentive, stock option, restricted stock, pension restoration or deferred compensation 7 8 plan or any employee benefit plan such as a thrift, pension, profit sharing, medical, disability, accident, life insurance plan or a relocation plan or policy or any other plan, program or policy of the Company intended to benefit employees, including, without limitation, any Plans established after the date hereof. (v) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by you following a change in control shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. (vi) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means (A) the effective date on which Executive's employment by the Company terminates as specified in a prior written notice by the Company or Executive, as the case may be, to the other, delivered pursuant to Section 10 or (B) if Executive's employment by the Company terminates by reason of death, the date of death of Executive. In the case of termination by the Company of your employment for Cause, if you have not previously expressly agreed in writing to the termination, then within thirty (30) days after receipt by you of the Notice of Termination with respect thereto, you may notify the Company that a dispute exists concerning the termination, in which event the Date of Termination shall be the date set by mutual written agreement of the parties. During the pendency of any such dispute, the Company will continue to pay you your full compensation in effect just prior to the time the Notice of Termination is given and until the dispute is resolved. 5. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability; Other Agreements. (i) In the event that during the thirty-six (36) month period following a change in control of the Company you fail to perform your duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue to receive your base salary at the rate then in effect and any benefits or awards under any Plans shall continue to accrue during such period, to the extent not inconsistent with such Plans, until your employment is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) and 4(vi) hereof. Thereafter, if your employment is terminated for Disability within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Plans, and you shall receive benefits under the Company's disability policies at the greater of the rate immediately prior to the change in control or your Date of Termination. (ii) If, within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your employment by the Company shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by you (other than for 8 9 Good Reason or Retirement), the Company shall pay you your base salary (subject to any deferral elections) through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given plus any bonus amounts which have become earned or payable, but which have not yet been paid to you. Thereupon the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. Following your termination of employment, your accrued benefits under the Company's Plans shall be paid pursuant to the terms of such Plans. (iii) If, within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your employment by the Company shall be terminated on account of Disability, death or Retirement, the Company shall pay you your base salary (subject to any deferral elections) through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given plus any bonus amounts which have become earned or payable, but which have not yet been paid to you, and a portion of your annual bonus for the fiscal year in which your Date of Termination occurs in an amount at least equal to (A) the product of (1) your bonus amount (as defined below), and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), reduced by (B) any amounts paid from the Company's annual incentive plan for the fiscal year in which your Date of Termination occurs. Thereupon, the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. Following your termination of employment, your accrued benefits under the Company's Plans shall be paid pursuant to the terms of such Plans; provided, however, that in the event of termination of employment on account of your death within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, life insurance benefits paid pursuant to the Company's welfare benefit plans shall be based on the terms of such plans in effect on the date of death, or if more favorable to you, the terms of such plans in effect immediately prior to the change in control. (iv) If, within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or Retirement or (b) by you for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to you, no later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, without regard to any contrary provisions of any Plan, a lump sum cash amount equal to the sum of the following amounts: (A) your base salary (subject to any deferral elections) through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given (not taking into account any reductions constituting Good Reason) plus any bonus amounts which have become earned 9 10 or payable, but which have not yet been paid to you, plus the value of your accrued but unused vacation days; (B) a portion of your annual bonus for the fiscal year in which your Date of Termination occurs in an amount at least equal to (1) the product of (x) your bonus amount (as defined below), and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), reduced by (2) any amounts paid from the Company's annual incentive plan for the fiscal year in which your Date of Termination occurs; and (C) an amount equal to three (3)times the sum of (1) your highest annual rate of base salary from the Company (or if applicable any Subsidiary or Parent (as defined in Section 15)) during the 12-month period immediately prior to your Date of Termination, and (2) your bonus amount. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "base salary" shall include any amounts deducted with respect to you or for your account pursuant to Sections 125 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") or any other deferred compensation plan or program. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "bonus amount" means the greater of your target bonus under the Management Incentive Plan, as amended, or any successor or substitute plan, immediately prior to your Date of Termination or such target bonus immediately prior to the change in control. (v) If, within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or Retirement or (b) by you for Good Reason, then the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of you and your spouse and dependents for a period terminating on the earliest of (a) three (3) years after the Date of Termination, (b) the commencement date of equivalent benefits from a new employer or (c) your normal retirement date under the terms of the First Tennessee National Corporation Pension Plan, as amended (or any successor or substitute plan or plans of the Company), the benefits provided to you and your spouse and dependents under all employee welfare benefit Plans in which you were entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if more favorable to you, the benefits provided under such Plans, on a Plan by Plan basis, in which you were entitled to participate immediately prior to the change in control), provided that your continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such Plans (and any applicable funding media) and you continue to pay an amount equal to your contribution as in effect prior to the change in control 10 11 or your Date of Termination, as applicable to the benefit provided under such Plans for such participation. If, at the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Termination Date, you have not reached your normal retirement date and you have not previously received or are not then receiving equivalent benefits from a new employer, the Company shall arrange, at its sole cost and expense, to enable you to convert your and your spouse's and dependents' coverage under such Plans to individual policies or programs upon the same terms as employees of the Company may apply for such conversions. In the event that your participation in any such Plan is barred, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall arrange to have issued for the benefit of you and your spouse and dependents individual policies of insurance pro viding benefits substantially similar (on an after-tax basis) to those which you otherwise would have been entitled to receive under such Plans pursuant to this paragraph (v) or, if such insurance is not available at a reasonable cost to the Company, the Company shall otherwise provide you and your dependents with equivalent benefits (on an after-tax basis). You shall not be required to pay any premiums or other charges in an amount greater than that which you would have paid in order to participate in such Plans. Following your termination of employment, your accrued benefits under the Company's Plans shall be paid pursuant to the terms of such Plans. (vi) Except as specifically provided in paragraph (v) above, the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise. (vii) If, within thirty-six (36) months after a change in control of the Company, your employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or Retirement or (b) by you for Good Reason, then the Company shall provide you with reasonable outplacement services. (viii) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) or any entity which effectuates a change in control (or any of its affiliated entities) to you or for your benefit (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 5(viii)) (the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive 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 Company shall pay to 11 12 you an additional payment or payments (collectively, a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by you of all taxes (including any Excise Tax) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, you retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the sum of (x) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and (y) the product of any deductions disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-up Payment in your adjusted gross income and the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross- up Payment, you shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made, (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes and (iii) have otherwise allowable deductions for federal income tax purposes at least equal to the Gross-up Payment. The receipt of a Gross-Up Payment shall in no event be conditioned upon your termination of employment or your receipt of any other benefits under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(viii), all determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by the public accounting firm that is retained by the Company as of the date immediately prior to the change in control (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and you within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or you that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company (collectively, the "Determination"). In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. The Gross-up Payment under this Section 5(viii) with respect to any Payments shall be made no later than thirty (30) days following such Payment. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by you, it shall furnish you with a written opinion to such effect, and to the effect that failure to report the Excise Tax, if any, on your applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. The Determination 12 13 by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and you. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment") or a Gross-Up Payment is made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that you thereafter are required to make payment of any Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Company to you or for your benefit. In the event the amount of the Gross-up Payment exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse you for your Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has been made and any such Overpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by you (but only to the extent you have received a refund if the applicable Excise Tax has been paid to the Internal Revenue Service) to or for the benefit of the Company. You shall cooperate, to the extent your expenses are reimbursed by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in connection with any contests or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Excise Tax. 6. Successors; Binding Agreement. (i) The Company will seek, by written request at least five (5) business days prior to the time a Person becomes a Successor (as hereinafter defined), to have such Person, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to you, assent to the fulfillment of the Company's obligations under this Agreement. Failure of such Person to furnish such assent by the later of (A) three (3) business days prior to the time such Person becomes a Successor or (B) two (2) business days after such Person receives a written request to so assent shall constitute Good Reason for termination by you of your employment if a change in control of the Company occurs or has occurred. For purposes of this Agreement, "Successor" shall mean any Person that succeeds to, or has the practical ability to control (either immediately or with the passage of time), the Company's business directly, by merger or consolidation, or indirectly, by purchase of the Company's voting securities or otherwise. (ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die following your termination of employment while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had continued to live, all such amounts, 13 14 unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to your estate. (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Company" shall include any corporation or other entity which is the surviving or continuing entity in respect of any merger, consolidation or form of business combination in which the Company ceases to exist. 7. Fees and Expenses; Mitigation. (i) The Company shall reimburse you, on a current basis upon receipt of reasonable written evidence of such fees and expenses, for all legal fees and related expenses incurred by you in connection with this Agreement (including claims under the First Tennessee National Corporation Directors and Executives Deferred Compensation Plan, or any successor plan or plans thereto) following a change in control of the Company, including, without limitation, (a) all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any termination of your employment or incurred by you in seeking advice with respect to the matters set forth in Section 5(viii) hereof or (b) your seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, in each case, regardless of whether or not your claim is upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, you shall be required to repay any such amounts to the Company to the extent that a court issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth the determination that the position taken by you was frivolous or advanced by you in bad faith. (ii) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to you in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. 8. Taxes. All payments to be made to you under this Agreement will be subject to required withholding of federal, state and local income and employment taxes. 9. Survival. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to, the Company and you as provided in Sections 5, 6(ii), 7, 8, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. 10. Notice. (i) For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or, in the case of the undersigned employee, to the address set forth below his signature, provided 14 15 that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company, with a copy to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. (ii) A written notice of your Date of Termination by the Company or you, as the case may be, to the other, shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the termination date (which date shall be not less than fifteen (15) (thirty (30), if termination is by the Company for Disability) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by you or the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right you or the Company have hereunder or preclude you or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing your or the Company's rights hereunder. 11. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by you and, on behalf of the Company, by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. 12. 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. 13. Employee's Commitment. You agree that subsequent to your period of employment with the Company, you will not at any time communicate or disclose to any unauthorized person, without the written consent of the Company, any proprietary processes of the Company or any Affiliate or other confidential information concerning their business, affairs, products, 15 16 suppliers or customers which, if disclosed, would have a material adverse effect upon the business or operations of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole; it being understood, however, that the obligations under this Section 13 shall not apply to the extent that the aforesaid matters (a) are disclosed in circumstances where you are legally required to do so or (b) become generally known to and available for use by the public otherwise than by your wrongful act or omission. 14. Related Agreements. To the extent that any provision of any other agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and you shall limit, qualify or be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement, then for purposes of this Agreement, while the same shall remain in force, the provision of this Agreement shall control and such provision of such other agreement shall be deemed to have been superseded, and to be of no force or effect, as if such other agreement had been formally amended to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose. Moreover, the benefits provided under this Agreement shall offset any and all benefits provided under any severance plan, program or similar arrangement (including any severance provisions of any employment agreement) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 15. Employment. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement shall include employment with any of its Subsidiaries or with any entity which directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company ("Parent"). 16. Counterparts.

FTNC 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONPLAN 1 EXHIBIT 10(l) 1-21-97 AMENDMENT TO FIRST TENNESSEE NATIONAL CORPORATION 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN ______________________________________________ 1. The first sentence of Section 1 of the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan of First Tennessee National Corporation (the "Plan") is amended by inserting the phrase "and any successor thereto" after "First Tennessee National Corporation." 2. Section 2 of the Plan is amended by deleting the definition of the term "Change in Control" in its entirety and substituting therefor the following: (a) "Change in Control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; (ii) any "Person" (as defined under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the "Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a "Subsidiary"), (B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)); (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's shareholders, whether for such -1- 2 transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a "Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Computations required by paragraph (iii) shall be made on and as of the date of shareholder approval and shall be based on reasonable assumptions that will result in the lowest percentage obtainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur. 3. The Plan is amended by adding a new Section 17 at the end thereof, which shall read as follows: 17. Successors. This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan -2- 3 if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The term "Company," as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan. -3- EX-11 14 FTNC PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE 1 EXHIBIT 11 FIRST TENNESSEE NATIONAL CORPORATION PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE AND FULLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

EX-13 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS 1 EXHIBIT 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ==================================== OVERVIEW OF 1996 OPERATIONS Earnings for 1996 reflect the sixth consecutive year of record earnings for First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee). Net income for the year increased 9 percent to $179.9 million from $164.9 million earned in 1995. Net income per share was $2.68 in 1996, up 11 percent from the $2.42 earned in 1995. Returns remained strong with 1.43 percent return on average assets and 20.05 percent return on average equity in 1996 compared with 1.45 percent and 20.04 percent, respectively, in 1995. Additional financial highlights in 1996 (which are detailed in the following financial discussion) include: * Noninterest income contributed 56 percent to total revenue and grew 17 percent * Mortgage banking led the increase in noninterest income with growth of 29 percent * Net interest income increased 15 percent, and the net interest margin improved to 4.13 percent from 3.92 percent * Asset quality remained strong with the nonperforming asset ratio declining to .35 percent * At year-end, First Tennessee was ranked in the top 50 bank holding companies in market capitalization with $2.5 billion and assets of $13.1 billion The acquisitions of Peoples Commercial Services Corporation (the parent company of Peoples Bank of Senatobia, Mississippi) and Financial Investment Corporation (the parent company of First National Bank of Springdale, Arkansas) which were completed in 1995, affect the comparability of financial information. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and their financials are only included from the dates of acquisition. Additional details regarding acquisitions can be found in Note 2 - Acquisitions. Information has been included related to these acquisitions in the following financial discussion to assist in making accurate comparisons. The following financial discussion should be read with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. A glossary is included at the end of this section to assist with terminology. For purposes of this financial discussion, reference to the bond division includes First Tennessee Capital Assets Corporation, an affiliate of First Tennessee Bank National Association (FTBNA). INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income, also called fee income, provides the majority of First Tennessee's revenue. During 1996, fee income, excluding securities gains and losses, increased 17 percent, from $490.2 million to $573.8 million, and in both 1995 and 1996 contributed 56 percent to total revenue. This high contribution level ranks First Tennessee fifth among bank holding companies in the nation for this ratio. Table 1 - Analysis of Noninterest Income provides six years of detail by category with growth rates. MORTGAGE BANKING FT Mortgage Companies, an affiliate of FTBNA, both originates and services residential mortgage loans. After origination, mortgage loans are typically sold to investors, primarily in the secondary market, while the rights to service such loans are usually retained. Servicing rights permit the owner to collect fees for gathering and processing monthly mortgage payments. Mortgage banking fee income increased 29 percent in 1996, from $212.6 million to $274.3 million, due to the 44 percent growth in origination volume and 34 percent growth in the servicing portfolio. Income derived from the loan origination function increased 44 percent in 1996, from $59.6 million to $85.6 million, as FT Mortgage Companies originated $10.4 billion of mortgage loans in 1996 and ranked as one of the top 10 mortgage originators in the nation. In 1995, $7.2 billion of mortgage loans were originated. Refinance activity accounted for approximately 30 percent of total retail loan originations in 1996, compared with 22 percent in 1995. The record year of origination volume was also the leading driver for the 57 percent increase, from $62.8 million to $98.7 million, in income derived from 2 the delivery of more mortgage loans into the secondary market and the creation of originated mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing fee income increased 26 percent in 1996, from $54.8 million to $69.2 million. The mortgage servicing portfolio, which includes servicing for ourselves and others, totaled $22.3 billion at December 31, 1996, compared with $16.7 billion at December 31, 1995. The change in the portfolio during 1996 was created from originations of $10.4 billion, reductions from sales of servicing of $2.2 billion and principal reductions of $2.6 billion from payments received in the normal course of business. Revenues from the sale of mortgage servicing rights declined 41 percent in 1996, from $35.4 million to $20.8 million, as a result of a change in volume and mix of servicing sold. During 1996, First Tennessee sold $.4 billion less mortgage servicing rights than in 1995. BOND DIVISION Bond division revenues increased 4 percent in 1996, from $82.8 million to $85.9 million. Bond division revenues are generated primarily from the purchase and sale of securities as both principal and agent. Inventory positions are limited to the procurement of securities solely for distribution to customers by the sales staff. Inventory is hedged to protect against movements in interest rates. Total securities bought and sold by the bond division increased 20 percent in 1996, from $182.0 billion to $217.8 billion. During 1996, the positive impact on fee income from customer base expansion and higher transaction volumes was lessened by several factors. Community banks, the bond division's primary customer base, experienced strong loan growth during the year thus reducing their investment security demands. In addition, with the expectation of higher interest rates, the mix of securities bought and sold by customers changed, unfavorably affecting profitability. DEPOSIT TRANSACTIONS AND CASH MANAGEMENT Noninterest income from deposit transactions and cash management increased 6 percent in 1996, from $74.1 million to $78.2 million. These fees are generated from the sale of retail deposit and cash management products and services. The increase in 1996 was a result of the higher transaction volume due to both new product sales and an expanded customer base, as well as pricing changes. The growth in fees collected from retail and business customers was partially offset by the reduction in the FDIC premium in 1995 as these fees were no longer assessed to customers. CARDHOLDER AND MERCHANT PROCESSING Fee income from cardholder and merchant processing, two separate divisions related to the credit card business, grew 21 percent in 1996, from $34.0 million to $41.3 million, due to an 18 percent increase in merchant processing volume, pricing structure changes and continued expansion of customer relationships. TRUST SERVICES Trust services includes fees from the managed asset segment, corporate trust services and custodial services. During 1996, noninterest income from trust services grew 18 percent, from $31.4 million to $37.1 million, excluding the impact of an accounting change which added $4.2 million to 1995 fees. With this accounting change, the income growth as reported was 4 percent. Noninterest income from corporate trust services, an indenture trustee business that acts as trustee on public bond issues, declined 2 percent due to reductions in new debt issuance by municipalities. Fees from the sales of an annuity product previously sold through a third party vendor increased fee income $1.2 million in 1996. Managed trust assets, which include personal trust, employee benefits and investment management, grew 12 percent during 1996 and reached $5.8 billion on December 31, 1996, compared with $5.2 billion at December 31, 1995. Total trust assets, including funds of indenture trustee business and custodial account asset values, were $15.1 billion at the end of 1996 and $14.9 billion at the end of 1995. SECURITIES GAINS/(LOSSES) In 1996, there were $2.7 million of net securities losses which included an equity securities loss of $3.0 million in the venture capital company's investment portfolio. During 1995, net security gains of $2.4 million were recorded which included $4.6 million of securities gains in the venture capital companies and securities losses related to the write-down of $3.6 million of 3 securities that, in the opinion of management, had been permanently impaired. ALL OTHER NONINTEREST INCOME All Other noninterest income grew 12 percent in 1996, from $51.0 million to $57.0 million. This category includes fees generated by check clearing, other service charges, foreclosure gains and electronic banking surcharges. Approximately 25 percent of the increase came from the implementation of a first-time surcharge to ATM users who were not First Tennessee customers. Other service charges are generated from banking services performed, but are not directly related to deposit transactions, such as fees for money orders, travelers checks, savings bonds, safe deposit box rentals, mutual fund services and safekeeping. During 1996, these fees grew 28 percent with the increase being spread over several of these categories. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS As previously discussed, the method of accounting for acquisitions impacts the comparability of financial statements. Excluding Peoples Commercial Services Corporation, Financial Investment Corporation and securities gains and losses in both periods, growth in total noninterest income would have remained 17 percent. NET INTEREST INCOME For purposes of this discussion, net interest income has been adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for certain tax-exempt loans and investments included in earning assets. Earning assets, including loans, have been expressed as averages, net of unearned income. Table 2 - Net Interest Income and Earning Assets provides net interest income and earning assets detail for the past three years. Table 4 - Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income gives volume and rate detail by category. During 1996, net interest income increased 15 percent, from $395.7 million to $456.6 million, with earning assets increasing 10 percent, from $10.1 billion to $11.1 billion, from growth in commercial loans, consumer loans and mortgage loans held for sale. Total interest-bearing liabilities grew 12 percent, from $8.5 billion to $9.5 billion, for the year. The net interest spread increased 20 basis points reflecting lower liability costs and the steepening of the yield curve during 1996. The increase in mortgage servicing rights and share repurchase programs decreased interest-free sources and unfavorably impacted net interest margin (margin) 14 basis points. Consequently, the overall margin improved 21 basis points in 1996. Fifteen basis points of this annual improvement came from the expiration in May 1996 of amortization expense related to a basis swap entered into in May 1993. The margin is affected by the activity levels and related funding for First Tennessee's specialty lines of business, as these nonbank business lines typically produce different margins than traditional retail/commercial banking activities. Consequently, First Tennessee's consolidated margin cannot readily be compared to that of other bank holding companies. Table 3 - Net Interest Margin Composition provides a breakdown by business line of the impact on the consolidated margin for the past three years. The margin in the retail/commercial bank was diminished by the basis swap previously discussed. Excluding the basis swap, the margin in the retail/commercial bank was 4.31 percent in 1996, 4.12 percent in 1995 and 4.31 percent in 1994. Mortgage banking negatively impacts the margin because the spread between the rates on mortgage loans temporarily in the warehouse and the related short-term funding rates are significantly less than the comparable spread earned in the retail/commercial bank. As origination volume increases, the compression to margin also increases. The bond division also negatively impacts the margin because of its strategy to hedge inventory in the cash markets which effectively eliminates net interest income on these positions, but reduces the risk of large market losses due to interest rate movements. The balance sheet at December 31, 1996, was asset sensitive to interest rate movements and within First Tennessee's guideline limits, with $197 million more assets than liabilities scheduled to reprice within one year (1.8 percent of earning assets) as shown in Table 5 - Rate Sensitivity Analysis at believes that during 1997 the overall asset quality position will December 31, 1996. This point-in-time measurement indicates that over the course of a year a downward movement in rates may negatively impact the margin since assets will reprice faster than liabilities, while upward rate movements may favorably 4 impact margin. With First Tennessee's existing balance sheet mix and the current interest rate environment, the retail/commercial bank's margin is expected to improve in 1997 as a result of the basis swap loss being fully amortized and through initiatives to lower the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Going forward, the consolidated margin will continue to be influenced by the activity levels in the specialty lines of business. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS Excluding Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation, growth in total net interest income would have been 13 percent. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level reflecting management's estimate of the risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $35.7 million in 1996 compared with $20.6 million in 1995. The increase in provision relates to a higher amount of allowance for loan losses commensurate with loan growth. In addition, given economic trends, the level of provision was increased to reserve for higher potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A more detailed discussion follows in the Asset Quality section. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense, also called operating expense, increased 16 percent in 1996, from $609.7 million to $704.5 million, primarily because of growth in mortgage banking. Table 6 - Analysis of Noninterest Expense provides detail by category for the past six years with growth rates. Operating expense in the mortgage banking division, excluding one-time acquisition costs incurred in 1995, increased 31 percent, from $195.6 million to $256.0 million, and accounted for 64 percent of the overall expense growth. Mortgage banking expense growth was driven by a larger servicing portfolio and increased mortgage origination production costs which are primarily variable in nature. Excluding mortgage banking, overall operating expenses increased 8 percent during 1996. Employee compensation, incentives, and benefits (personnel expense), the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 13 percent in 1996, from $340.5 million to $385.4 million. Personnel expense includes commissions paid in several lines of business, such as the bond division and mortgage banking. As the revenues increase or decrease in these business lines, the amount of commissions change accordingly. Personnel expense increased 23 percent in mortgage banking and 7 percent in the bond division during 1996. As a result of a larger servicing portfolio, amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights increased 74 percent, from $15.0 million to $26.0 million. The 48 percent reduction, from $9.9 million to $5.1 million, in deposit insurance premium expense includes the benefit of the reduction in the FDIC premium to zero at the beginning of 1996 with only minimal administrative costs being assessed to banks, partially offset by the one-time SAIF assessment discussed below. Advertising and public relations increased 36 percent, from $13.0 million to $17.6 million, from targeted promotional programs including home banking products such as Smart Phone Banking, Touchtone Banking, PC Banking and Internet Banking, as well as the introduction of customer loyalty programs. All Other expense consists of many smaller expense categories such as supplies, contract employment, travel and entertainment, Fed service fees, foreclosed real estate expenses, contributions and other. During 1996, All Other expense increased 37 percent, from $71.4 million to $97.8 million, with the growth in mortgage banking accounting for 83 percent of this increase. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS, ONE-TIME ITEMS, ETC. On September 30, 1996, Federal legislation assessed a one-time fee to banks that own previously acquired thrift deposits. The pre-tax cost to First Tennessee of the one-time Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) assessment was $3.8 million in the third quarter of 1996. Excluding this one-time SAIF assessment, the acquisitions of Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation, and the one-time acquisition costs 5 incurred in 1995, the growth rate of total noninterest expense would have been 15 percent. Excluding personnel expense in Peoples Commercial Services Corporation, Financial Investment Corporation, and the commission-based businesses of mortgage banking and the bond division, personnel expense increased 6 percent in 1996. INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS 1995 COMPARED TO 1994 Earnings in 1995 reflected the fifth consecutive year of record earnings with net income of $164.9 million, an increase of 12 percent from $147.1 million earned in 1994. Earnings per share increased 13 percent from $2.15 in 1994 to $2.42 in 1995. Return on average assets improved to 1.45 percent in 1995 from 1.39 percent in 1994, and return on average equity improved to 20.04 percent in 1995 from 19.36 percent in 1994. Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses in both periods, increased 12 percent during 1995, from $436.2 million to $490.2 million. Mortgage banking contributed 47 percent of the growth in fee income between 1995 and 1994. During 1995, mortgage banking fee income increased 13 percent, from $187.3 million to $212.6 million, from increased origination volume and a larger servicing portfolio. Bond division fee income increased 7 percent in 1995, from $77.5 million to $82.8 million, as a result of expansion in the nonbank customer base. During 1995, deposit transactions and cash management grew 13 percent, from $65.8 million to $74.1 million; cardholder and merchant processing increased 12 percent, from $30.3 million to $34.0 million; and trust services grew 23 percent, from $28.9 million to $35.6 million. Accounting adjustments made in both trust services as well as deposit transactions and cash management in 1995 affect the comparability of these growth rates. Excluding these accounting adjustments, growth in both trust services as well as deposit transactions and cash management would have been 9 percent. In 1994, there were $24.3 million of equity securities gains which included $16.7 million realized as venture capital gains and $7.5 million of other equity securities gains. Debt securities losses included $5.0 million of losses resulting from securities being sold in the normal course of business. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $395.7 million in 1995, down 1 percent, or $3.6 million, from 1994 due to compression in the net interest margin from 4.25 percent in 1994 to 3.92 percent in 1995. The compression in the net interest margin resulted from the negative impact of a $1 billion basis swap combined with the effect of repricing mismatches on First Tennessee's balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions from the extreme interest rate movements in 1994 and the flattening of the yield curve in 1995. The provision for loan losses increased 20 percent during 1995, to $20.6 million, from a historically low level of $17.2 million in 1994. Noninterest expense decreased 3 percent in 1995, from $625.7 million to $609.7 million. Personnel expense, the largest component, decreased 3 percent, from $349.8 million to $340.5 million, primarily from the benefit of operating efficiencies especially in mortgage banking with consolidation synergies. Deposit insurance decreased 41 percent in 1995, from $16.9 million to $9.9 million, as a result of a lower deposit rate assessment during the year. During 1995 and 1994, a number of one-time items occurred that affect the comparability of the periods. These one-time items included purchase acquisitions, acquisition expenses, accounting changes and charitable foundation contribution expenses. Excluding these items in 1995 and 1994, noninterest expense decreased 2 percent. The effective tax rate in 1995 was 34.8 percent compared with 29.2 percent in 1994. The lower tax rate in 1994 resulted from the elimination of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to an acquisition and the establishment of a charitable foundation. Without these items, the effective tax rate in 1994 would have been 34.3 percent. BALANCE SHEET REVIEW At December 31, 1996, First Tennessee reported total assets of $13.1 billion compared with $12.1 billion at the end of 1995 and $10.9 billion at the end of 1994. Average assets were $12.6 billion in 1996 compared with $11.4 billion in 1995 and $10.6 billion in 1994. 6 EARNING ASSETS Loans, investment securities and the mortgage warehouse are the primary earning assets. For purposes of this discussion, loans are expressed as averages, net of unearned income, unless otherwise noted. For 1996, earning assets averaged $11.1 billion compared with $10.1 billion for 1995 and $9.4 billion for 1994. Average earning assets were 88 percent of total average assets in 1996 and 89 percent of total average assets in both 1995 and 1994. LOANS Loans grew 8 percent, or $584.9 million, during 1996 and 15 percent, or $902.8 million, during 1995. Loans represented 68 percent of earning assets in both 1996 and 1995 and 64 percent in 1994. Additional loan information is provided in Table 7 - Maturities of Loans at December 31, 1996, and Note 4 - Loans. Commercial loans continued as the single largest loan category and represented approximately 45 percent of total loans between 1994 and 1996 (45 percent in 1996 and 46 percent in both 1995 and 1994). During 1996, commercial loans grew 7 percent, or $235.1 million, compared with 13 percent, or $372.7 million, in 1995. The increase in commercial loans, influenced by strong economic growth in Tennessee, came from lending to small businesses and middle market companies in Tennessee and the Mid-South region. The consumer loan portfolio consists of real estate, automobile, student and other consumer installment loans that require periodic payments of principal and interest. The consumer loan portfolio represented approximately 35 percent of total loans between 1994 and 1996 (35 percent in 1996, 34 percent in 1995 and 35 percent in 1994). During 1996, consumer loans grew 10 percent, or $240.4 million, compared with 14 percent, or $284.5 million, in 1995. Growth in real estate loans, primarily secured by first and second liens on residential property, contributed significantly to the increase in the consumer loan portfolio. First Tennessee is active in originating second mortgages not only in Tennessee through FTBNA, but also outside this market through Gulf Pacific Mortgage, a division of FTBNA. The permanent mortgage portfolio includes certain mortgage loans that First Tennessee periodically decides to retain. The permanent mortgage portfolio represented approximately 9 percent of total loans between 1994 and 1996 (9 percent in 1996, 10 percent in 1995 and 9 percent in 1994). This portfolio of loans grew only $1.6 million in 1996 as new loans were securitized and sold and older loans paid down, and it grew 18 percent, or $100.9 million, in 1995 as management decided to retain additional loans. Between 1994 and 1996, credit card receivables (i.e., outstanding balances on credit card accounts) represented 7 percent of total loans. Credit card receivables increased 10 percent, or $49.8 million, in 1996 and increased 11 percent, or $47.7 million, during 1995. The increased use of debt by consumers led to this growth, while targeted promotional campaigns, cross-selling efforts and selective pricing programs helped retain customers during this intensely competitive period. The real estate construction loan portfolio represented approximately 3 percent of total loans between 1994 and 1996 (4 percent in 1996, 3 percent in 1995 and 2 percent in 1994). During 1996, this portfolio grew 27 percent, or $58.7 million, compared with 84 percent, or $99.1 million, in 1995. The increase during these periods is reflective of economic growth in Tennessee and favorable market conditions. Going forward, with the anticipated slow growth in the national and regional economies, First Tennessee expects to experience moderate loan growth. The permanent mortgage portfolio will continue to decline as loans are securitized and sold in the normal course of business. In the consumer-related loan portfolios, targeted promotional programs will help sustain growth, while the introduction of an automated credit scoring product for small business loans will help support commercial loan growth. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS Excluding the acquisitions of Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation, total loan growth would have been 7 percent in 1996 and 14 percent in 1995. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The investment portfolio consists principally of debt securities that First Tennessee uses as a source of income and liquidity, to balance interest rate risk with other categories of the balance sheet and to supply securities to 7 pledge as required collateral for certain deposits. Table 8 - Maturities of Investment Securities at December 31, 1996, shows information pertaining to the composition, yields and maturities of the securities portfolio. Average investment securities increased 2 percent, or $42.3 million, in 1996 and decreased 4 percent, or $87.7 million, in 1995. Investment securities represented 20 percent of earning assets in 1996 compared with 21 percent in 1995 and 24 percent in 1994. The investment portfolio is classified into two categories: securities available for sale (AFS) and securities held to maturity (HTM). The securities portfolio totaled $2.2 billion at December 31, 1996. The majority of these securities were classified as AFS with an average life of 2.6 years. These securities consisted primarily of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), U.S. Treasuries, U.S. government agencies and equities. At December 31, 1996, these securities had approximately $5.9 million of net unrealized gains that resulted in an increase in book equity of approximately $3.7 million, net of $2.2 million of deferred income taxes. At December 31, 1995, the AFS securities portfolio totaled $2.0 billion and had approximately $18.2 million of net unrealized gains that resulted in an increase in book equity of approximately $10.6 million, net of $7.6 million of deferred income taxes. At December 31, 1994, the AFS securities portfolio totaled $1.2 billion and had approximately $39.7 million of net unrealized losses that resulted in a decrease in book equity of $24.3 million, net of a $15.4 million deferred income tax benefit. At December 31, 1996, the HTM securities (which were all municipal bonds), totaled $65.9 million and had an average life of 5.1 years. The HTM securities portfolio had a net unrealized gain at December 31, 1996, of $.8 million. At December 31, 1995, the securities classified as HTM totaled $74.7 million and had a net unrealized gain of $1.0 million, and at December 31, 1994, the HTM securities portfolio totaled $1.0 billion and had a net unrealized loss of $52.7 million. During 1995, accounting rules permitted banks to reclassify their AFS and HTM securities without adverse ramifications. This action is the reason for the change in the size of these two portfolios between 1994 and 1995. Corporate guidelines call for all securities purchased for the investment portfolio to be rated investment grade by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's. At December 31, 1996, First Tennessee was in compliance with these guidelines. Securities backed by the U.S. government and its agencies, both on a direct and indirect basis, represented 92 percent of the investment portfolio at December 31, 1996. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS Excluding the acquisitions of Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation, average investment securities would have decreased 4 percent in 1996 and decreased 7 percent in 1995. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE Mortgage loans held for sale (mortgage warehouse) are loans that have been originated and are awaiting securitization and/or delivery. These mortgages represented approximately 10 percent of total earning assets in 1996 compared with 7 percent in 1995 and 8 percent in 1994. During 1996, the mortgage warehouse averaged $1.1 billion and increased 50 percent, or $353.4 million, from 1995. During 1995, mortgage warehouse loans averaged $706.1 million and decreased 8 percent, or $61.8 million, from 1994. Since the mortgage warehouse loans are generally held in inventory for a short period of time (30 to 60 days), there may be significant differences between average and period-end balances. At year-end 1996, the mortgage warehouse totaled $787.4 million compared with $789.2 million and $515.4 million at year-end 1995 and 1994, respectively. DEPOSITS, OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT DEPOSITS During 1996, core deposits grew 7 percent, or $509.3 million, and averaged $8.1 billion. This compares with growth of 5 percent, or $346.3 million, and an average balance of $7.6 billion in 1995. In 1994, these deposits averaged $7.3 billion. Growth in 1996 came from expansion of First Tennessee's targeted market, the introduction of a new relationship-based deposit product, and the increase in customers related to electronic banking promotions and increased debit card usage. 8 Interest-bearing core deposits grew 8 percent, or $440.1 million, during 1996 compared with 6 percent, or $342.2 million, in 1995. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew 4 percent, or $69.3 million, during 1996 and were relatively flat during 1995 with growth of $4.1 million. OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS Purchased funds averaged $2.9 billion for 1996, up 21 percent, or $516.8 million, from the previous year. This increase funded the growth in mortgage warehouse loans and other earning assets during 1996. Purchased funds increased 11 percent, or $238.2 million, during 1995. Purchased funds represented 26 percent of the corporation's funding (core deposits plus purchased funds and term borrowings) in 1996, 24 percent in 1995 and 23 percent in 1994. See Note 8 - Short-Term Borrowings for additional information. Term borrowings include senior and subordinated borrowings and advances with original maturities greater than one year. Term borrowings increased 21 percent, or $44.7 million, during 1996 compared with an increase of 105 percent, or $107.1 million, in 1995. During 1995, First Tennessee (the parent company) issued $75 million of 10-year subordinated debt. See Note 11 - Term Borrowings for additional information. EXCLUDING ACQUISITIONS Excluding Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation, growth in core deposits would have been 4 percent in 1996 and 3 percent in 1995; growth in interest-bearing core deposits would have been 5 percent in both 1996 and 1995; and noninterest-bearing demand deposits would have grown 2 percent in 1996 and would have decreased 1 percent in 1995. Excluding the acquisitions, growth in purchased funds would have been 19 percent in 1996 and 10 percent in 1995. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to meet the demands of depositors, investors and borrowers. The Asset/Liability Committee, a committee consisting of senior management that meets regularly, is responsible for managing these needs which take into account the marketability of assets; the sources, stability and availability of funding; and the level of unfunded commitments. Core deposits are First Tennessee's primary source of funding and one of the most stable sources of liquidity for a bank. In 1996, core deposits funded 73 percent of earning assets compared with 75 percent in 1995 and 77 percent in 1994. FTBNA enhanced its liquidity position during 1996 by establishing a $3 billion Bank Note program. Under this program, the bank may borrow funds, from time to time, at maturities of 30 days to 30 years. At December 31, 1996, essentially all of this program was available as a funding source. Parent company liquidity is maintained by cash flows stemming from dividends and interest payments collected from subsidiaries, which represent the primary source of funds to pay dividends to shareholders and interest payments to debtholders. The amount of dividends from bank subsidiaries is subject to certain regulatory restrictions, which are described in Note 9 - Restrictions, Contingencies and Other Disclosures. The parent company statements are presented in Note 22 - Parent Company Financial Information. The parent company also has the ability to enhance its liquidity position by raising equity or incurring debt. Under an effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), First Tennessee, as of December 31, 1996, may offer from time to time, at its discretion, debt securities, and common and preferred stock up to $225 million. At December 31, 1996, First Tennessee also had an effective $300 million capital securities shelf on file with the SEC. On December 30, 1996, First Tennessee sold $100 million of capital securities from this shelf. See Note 21 - Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in First Tennessee's Subordinated Debentures for additional detail. The transaction settled on January 6, 1997, leaving $200 million available for issuance. Maintaining adequate credit ratings on debt issues is critical to liquidity because it affects the ability of First Tennessee to attract funds from various sources on a cost competitive basis. The various credit ratings are detailed in Table 9 - Credit Ratings at December 31, 1996. 9 CAPITAL Total shareholders' equity at December 31, 1996, was $954.5 million, up 9 percent, or $81.3 million, from the balance at the end of 1995. This followed an increase of 13 percent, or $98.3 million, from year-end 1994. In both years, the increase was primarily due to the retention of net income after dividends. The Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity highlights the changes in equity since December 31, 1993. Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. Management's objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth, take advantage of profitable growth opportunities and promote depositor and investor confidence. Overall, First Tennessee's capital position remained strong as shown in Table 10 - Capital Ratios. Banking regulators define minimum capital ratios for bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Based on the risk-based capital rules and definitions prescribed by the banking regulators, should an institution's capital ratios decline below predetermined levels, it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions. The system categorizes a financial institution's capital position into one of five categories ranging from well-capitalized to critically under-capitalized. For an institution to qualify as well-capitalized, Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6 percent, 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively. As of December 31, 1996, First Tennessee and all of its banking affiliates had sufficient capital to qualify as well-capitalized institutions as shown in Note 10 - Regulatory Capital. On December 30, 1996, First Tennessee sold $100 million of capital securities which, given the structure used, qualify as Tier 1 Capital. The issuance of these securities will augment the risk-based capital ratios and the total equity ratios going forward. Additional information regarding this transaction can be found in Note 21. At December 31, 1996, book value per common share was $14.28 based on shares outstanding of 66.9 million compared with book value per common share of $13.00 based on shares outstanding of 67.2 million at December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1994, book value per common share was $11.37 based on shares outstanding of 68.1 million. First Tennessee's shares are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market national market system under the symbol FTEN and are listed in the financial section of most newspapers as FstTN Ntl. The sales price ranges, earnings per share and dividends by quarter for each of the last two years are presented in Table 16 - Summary of Quarterly Financial Information. At December 31, 1996, the closing sales price was $37.50 per share. This price was 263 percent of year-end book value per share, and the annual dividend yield was 3.6 percent for 1996 based on dividends paid in 1996. The quarterly dividend was last increased at the October 23, 1996, board of directors' meeting to $.30 per share, up 13 percent from $.265 per share. At the October and December 1996 board of directors' meetings, authority was given to management to purchase additional stock to reduce excess equity levels, manage the capital of the affiliate banks and efficiently balance the levels between debt and equity. The purchase of the shares under the $50 million program is expected to be completed by June 1997, and the purchase of up to an additional $130 million of stock is expected to be completed by December 1998. In addition to First Tennessee's ongoing share repurchases, 1.9 million shares, at a cost of $71.7 million, were purchased subsequent to year-end under an accelerated stock repurchase plan. The actual price of the stock will be settled at the end of the program. In total during 1996, First Tennessee purchased approximately 826,000 shares of its common stock. Approximately 497,000 shares were issued for benefit plans. During 1995, approximately 4.8 million shares were repurchased, with 3.4 million shares being issued for acquisitions and 446,000 shares being issued for benefit plans. Approximately 1.1 million shares were repurchased, with 304,000 shares being issued for acquisitions and 412,000 shares being issued for benefit plans during 1994. First Tennessee plans to continue to purchase shares, pursuant to board authority, for various stock option plans, and from time to time, will evaluate the level of capital and take action designed to generate or use the capital to maximize the benefit to shareholders. ASSET QUALITY First Tennessee manages asset quality through diversification in the loan portfolio and adherence to its credit policy. Management strives to identify 10 loans experiencing difficulty early enough to correct the deficiencies, to recognize nonperforming loans in a timely manner, to record charge-offs promptly based on realistic assessments of current collateral values and the borrower's ability to repay, and to maintain adequate reserves to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio. First Tennessee's goal is not to avoid risk, but to manage it, and to include credit risk as part of the pricing decision for each product. At December 31, 1996, First Tennessee had no concentrations of 10 percent or more of total loans in any single industry. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Management's policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb all estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries and is decreased by charged-off loans. The evaluation process to determine potential losses includes consideration of the industry, specific conditions of the individual borrower and the general economic environment. While management uses analytical modeling techniques to recognize potential losses on loans, future additions to the reserve may be necessary based on loan growth and changes in economic conditions. Table 11 - Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses summarizes, by category, loans charged off and recoveries of loans previously charged off, and additions to the reserve which have been charged to operating expense. The allowance for loan losses is allocated according to the amount systematically estimated as necessary to provide for the inherent losses within the various categories of loans. This allocation is based primarily on previous charge-off experience adjusted for changes in the risk characteristics of each category. In addition, classified loans over $1 million are evaluated separately and a specific reserve is set based on the expected loss of the individual loan. The anticipated effect of economic conditions on loan portfolios is another factor used in determining the allocable amounts. A general reserve is also maintained to supplement specific allocations. Table 12 - Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate at December 31 gives a breakdown of the allowance allocation by major loan types and commercial loan grades at December 31, 1996, compared with the same period in 1995. The total allowance for loan losses increased 5 percent, or $5.2 million, in 1996 and 2 percent, or $2.7 million, in 1995. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans, net of unearned income, was 1.52 percent at December 31, 1996, compared with 1.54 percent at December 31, 1995, and 1.69 percent at December 31, 1994. NET CHARGE-OFFS Each lending product has, as a normal course of business, an expected level of net charge-offs based on the profit margin of that product. The level of charge-offs can vary from period to period due to the size, type and number of individual credits; all of which may be cyclical, depending on economic conditions. Net charge-offs increased to $30.5 million at December 31, 1996. Net charge-offs were $20.5 million for 1995 and $18.0 million for 1994. The ratio of net charge-offs to total loans increased to .41 percent for 1996 from .30 percent for both 1995 and 1994 as a result of higher losses primarily in the consumer loan and credit card portfolios. Additional detail regarding charge-offs and recoveries can be found in Table 11. Commercial and commercial real estate loan recoveries exceeded charge-offs in both 1996 and 1995 as shown in Table 13 - Net Charge-Offs as a Percentage of Average Loans by Category. Consumer loan net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased 10 basis points between 1996 and 1995, and credit card receivables net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased 84 basis points between 1996 and 1995. The increases in both consumer loans and credit card receivables net charge-offs during these periods reflected a deteriorating industry trend in overall credit quality. However, the asset quality of the consumer loan and credit card portfolios continued to be favorable to national averages. Going forward, in light of current anticipated economic conditions and trends, the absolute level of net charge-offs will continue to increase from the low levels experienced in the past several years. It is expected that the future net charge-off level for commercial loans will increase as the level of recoveries declines. Consumer loans and credit card receivables net charge-offs will continue to increase paralleling industry trends. Despite these increases, management believes that during 1997 the overall asset quality position will 11 remain positive. NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming loans consist of impaired, nonaccrual and restructured loans, and these, along with foreclosed real estate and other assets, represent nonperforming assets. Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which recognition of interest income has been discontinued. Restructured loans generally take the form of an extension of the original repayment period and/or a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. Nonperforming assets decreased 15 percent, or $4.9 million, in 1996 and 17 percent, or $6.4 million, in 1995. Nonperforming loans decreased 1 percent, or $.1 million, in 1996 compared with an increase of 12 percent, or $2.0 million, in 1995. At December 31, 1996, foreclosed properties amounted to $7.8 million, a decrease of 34 percent from the $11.8 million of foreclosed properties reported in 1995. Nonperforming assets and loan information is presented in Table 14 - Nonperforming Assets at December 31. Table 15 - Changes in Nonperforming Assets gives additional information for 1994 to 1996. PAST DUE LOANS AND POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS Past due loans are loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, but have not yet been put on nonaccrual status. The ratio of past due loans to total loans was essentially unchanged from 1995 to 1996 at .4 percent. Past due loans were $30.7 million in 1996 compared to $30.6 in 1995. Additional historical past due loan information can be found in Table 14. Potential problem assets, which are not included in nonperforming assets, increased to $78.4 million at December 31, 1996, from $66.6 million at December 31, 1995, and were 1 percent of total loans in 1996 and 1995. Potential problem assets represent those assets where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for loans classified substandard and doubtful. 12 TABLE 1 ANALYSIS OF NONINTEREST INCOME

All amounts in the Allowance for Loan Losses columns have been rounded to the nearest million dollars. Grade A Loans have reserve amounts of less than $500,000. Definitions of each credit grade are provided below: GRADE A - Established, stable companies with excellent earnings, liquidity, and capital. Possess many of the same characteristics as Standard & Poor's (S&P) AA rated companies. GRADE B - Established, stable companies with good earnings, liquidity, and capital. Possess many of the same characteristics as S&P A rated companies. GRADE C - Established, stable companies with satisfactory earnings, liquidity, and capital and with consistent, positive trends relative to industry norms. GRADE D - Financial condition adversely affected by temporary lack of earnings or liquidity or changes in the operating environment. An action plan is required to rehabilitate the credit or have it refinanced elsewhere. GRADE E - Significant developing weaknesses or adverse trends in earnings, liquidity, capital, or operating environment. No discernable market for refinancing is available. GRADE F - Significantly higher than normal probability that: (1) legal action or liquidation of collateral is required; (2) there will be a loss; or (3) both will occur. This grade is believed to be substantially equivalent to the regulators' classifications of substandard or doubtful. IMPAIRED - A loan for which it is probable that all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, will not be collected. NONACCRUAL - A loan that is placed on nonaccrual status is not included in any of these six grades, but is placed in a separate nonaccrual category. Commercial and real estate loans are placed on nonaccrual status automatically once they become 90 days or more past due. Based on internal loan classifications. 24 TABLE 13 NET CHARGE-OFFS AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE LOANS BY CATEGORY

28 GLOSSARY A ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - Valuation reserve representing the amount considered by management to be adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. B BASIS POINT - The equivalent of one-hundredth of one percent (0.01). One hundred basis points equals one percent. This unit is generally used to measure movements in interest yields and rates. BASIS RISK - Refers to changes in the relationship between various interest rate segments (e.g., the difference between the Prime and the Fed Funds Rates). BASIS SWAP - A notional principal swap that was intended to hedge the basis risk of the loan portfolio. First Tennessee's basis swap was terminated in 1995 in order to restructure the rate sensitive position and limit the loss going forward in a rising rate scenario. BOOK VALUE PER SHARE - A ratio determined by dividing shareholders' equity at the end of a period by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of that period. C CHARGE-OFFS - The amount charged against the allowance for loan losses to reduce specific loans to their collectible amount. CLASSIFIED LOAN - A loan that has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms. Included in this category are grade F performing and nonperforming loans. In compliance with the standards established by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) these loans are classified as substandard, doubtful or loss depending on the severity of the loans deterioration. COMMERCIAL PAPER - A short-term unsecured debt obligation of the parent company with maturities typically of 30 days to 270 days. COMMERCIAL AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - Commercial letters of credit are issued or confirmed by an entity to ensure the payment of its customers' payables and receivables. Standby letters of credit are issued by an entity to ensure its customers' performance in dealing with others. COMMITMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT - Agreements to make or acquire a loan or lease as long as agreed-upon terms (e.g., expiry, covenants or notice) are met. Generally these commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. CORE DEPOSITS - Core deposits consist of all interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, except certificates of deposit over $100,000. They include checking interest deposits, money market deposit accounts, time and other savings, and demand deposits. D DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT - Futures, forwards, swaps, option contracts or other financial instruments with similar characteristics, such as interest rate caps or floors, or fixed-rate loan commitments. DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO - Cash dividends per share paid as a percent of net income per share. DOUBLE LEVERAGE RATIO - A ratio that measures the degree to which parent company debt supports investments in subsidiaries. It is calculated by dividing the parent company's investment in subsidiaries by total consolidated equity. E EARNING ASSETS - Assets that generate interest or dividend income or yield-related fee income, such as loans and investment securities. EARNINGS PER SHARE - Net income divided by the average number of common shares outstanding in the period. F FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD/PURCHASED - Excess balances of depository institutions which are loaned to each other, generally on an overnight basis. 29 FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT INCOME (FTE) - Income which has been adjusted by increasing tax-exempt income to a level that would yield the same after-tax income had that income been subject to taxation. H HEDGE - An instrument used to reduce risk by entering into a transaction which offsets existing or anticipated exposures to changes in interest rates. I INTEREST-FREE SOURCES - Noninterest bearing liabilities (such as demand deposits, other liabilities and shareholders' equity) less nonearning assets (such as cash, fixed assets and other assets). INTEREST RATE CAPS AND FLOORS - Contracts with notional principal amounts that require the seller, in exchange for a fee, to make payments to the purchaser if a specified market interest rate exceeds a fixed upper "capped" level or falls below a fixed lower "floor" level on specified future dates. INTEREST RATE FORWARD AND FUTURES CONTRACTS - Contracts representing commitments either to purchase or sell at a specified future date a specified security or financial instrument at a specified price, and may be settled in cash or through delivery. These obligations are generally short term in nature. INTEREST RATE OPTION (OPTIONS) - A contract that grants the holder (purchaser), for a fee, the right to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time or on a specified date from the writer (seller) of the option. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY - The relationship of changes in interest income and interest expense due to fluctuations in interest rates over a defined period of time. INTEREST RATE SWAP (SWAP) - An agreement in which two entities agree to exchange, at specified intervals, interest payment streams calculated on an agreed upon notional principal amount with at least one stream based on a floating rate index. INTEREST SENSITIVITY GAP - The difference between interest-rate sensitive assets and interest-rate sensitive liabilities over a designated time period. A net asset exists when interest-rate sensitive assets exceed interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A net liability position exists when liabilities exceed assets. L LEVERAGE RATIO - Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets excluding any adjustments for available for sale securities unrealized gains/(losses), goodwill and certain other intangible assets. LIQUIDITY - The ability of a corporation to generate adequate funds to meet its cash flow requirements.

MORTGAGE LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE - Mortgages sold with an agreement to repurchase any loans upon default. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS - The right to service mortgage loans, generally owned by someone else, for a fee.

N NET INTEREST INCOME (NII) - Interest income less interest expense. NET INTEREST MARGIN - A measurement of how effectively the bank utilizes its earning assets in relationship to the interest cost of funding them. It is computed by dividing fully taxable equivalent net interest income by average interest earning assets. NET INTEREST SPREAD - The difference between the average yield earned on earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis and the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities. 30 NONACCRUAL LOANS - Loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued due to the borrower's financial difficulties. Interest income on these loans is reported on a cash basis as it is collected after recovery of principal. NONPERFORMING ASSETS - Interest earning assets on which interest income is not being accrued, restructured loans on which interest rates or terms of repayment have been materially revised, real estate properties acquired through foreclosure and repossessed assets. NOTIONAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT - An amount on which payments for interest rate swaps and interest rate options, caps and floors are based. The "notional amount" is not paid or received. O OPERATING MARGIN (ALSO CALLED RETURN ON REVENUE - ROR) - A measure of profitability that indicates operation efficiency and productivity. It is calculated by dividing the fully taxable equivalent pre-tax profit before loan loss provision by the fully taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - A method of short-term financing in which one party agrees to buy back, at a future date (generally overnight) and an agreed upon price, a security it sells to another party. RESTRUCTURED LOANS - Loans where the institution, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS (ROA) - A measure of profitability that indicates how effectively an institution utilized its assets. It is calculated by dividing net income by total average assets. RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY (ROE) - A measure of profitability that indicates what an institution earned on its shareholders' investment. ROE is calculated by dividing net income by total average shareholders' equity. REVENUE - The sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For some comparisons, securities gains/(losses) are excluded. RISK-ADJUSTED ASSETS - A regulatory risk-based calculation that takes into account the broad differences in risks among a banking organization's assets and off-balance sheet instruments. S SHAREHOLDER RETURN - The sum of dividend income and price appreciation of an equity security for a given period of time. T TIER 1 CAPITAL RATIO - Ratio consisting of shareholders' equity before any adjustments for available for sale securities unrealized gains/(losses) reduced by goodwill and certain other intangible assets divided by risk-adjusted assets. TOTAL CAPITAL RATIO - Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and qualifying subordinated debt divided by risk-adjusted assets. W WATCH LIST LOANS - Identified loans graded D and E requiring a closer level of monitoring due to some of the following circumstances: impact of negative economic conditions; changes in company ownership; underwriting exceptions; and reduction in the value of collateral. 31 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION First Tennessee National Corporation

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 35 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The consolidated financial statements of First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee), including its subsidiaries, are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practice within the banking industry. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and could differ from actual results. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Tennessee and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Affiliates that are not majority owned are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. None of these reclassifications had any effect on net income or earnings per share for any of the periods presented. Prior year financial statements are restated to include the accounts of companies that are acquired and accounted for as poolings of interests. Business combinations accounted for as purchases are included in the financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS. For purposes of this statement, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell are considered cash and cash equivalents. Federal funds are usually sold for one-day periods, and securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term, highly liquid investments. The following significant non-cash stock transactions have been adjusted for a two-for-one stock split that First Tennessee effected in February 1996. In 1995, First Tennessee issued approximately 7,980,000 shares of its common stock related to the acquisitions of Carl I. Brown and Company, Community Bancshares, Inc., Peoples Commercial Services Corporation and Financial Investment Corporation. In 1994, First Tennessee issued approximately 7,716,000 shares of its common stock related to the acquisitions of SNMC Management Corporation, Highland Capital Management Corp., Cleveland Bank and Trust Company, Planters Bank and Emerald Mortgage Company. BOND DIVISION SECURITIES INVENTORY. Securities purchased in connection with underwriting or dealer activities are carried at market value. Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on these securities are reflected in noninterest income as bond division income. INVESTMENT SECURITIES. Securities that First Tennessee has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as securities held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Securities that may be sold prior to maturity for asset/liability management purposes and equity securities are classified as securities available for sale and are carried at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as a component of shareholders' equity. The amortized cost of all securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount to maturity, or earlier call date if appropriate, using the level yield method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are computed by the specific identification method and reported in noninterest income. SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER RESALE AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. First Tennessee's bond division enters into short-term purchases of securities under agreements to resell to hedge its trading inventory in the cash market. Under these transactions, the securities are delivered to the bond division's dealer custody account at the Federal Reserve Bank. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are used by the retail/commercial bank to obtain favorable borrowing rates on its purchased funds. Under these transactions, securities are delivered to the counterparty's account at the Federal Reserve Bank. In the normal course of business, First Tennessee does not use this as its primary funding source. 36 MORTGAGE BANKING. First Tennessee's mortgage lenders originate loans with the intent to sell them in the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Gains and losses realized from the sale of these assets and adjustments to market value are included in noninterest income. Servicing rights related to the mortgages sold are ordinarily retained. Accounting standards require the recognition of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) as separate assets by allocating the total cost incurred between the loan and the servicing right based on their relative fair values. First Tennessee uses market prices under current sales contracts to determine the fair value of the servicing rights created. These current sales contracts are tested for reasonableness against prices obtained from flow and bulk sales of servicing and against prices determined using a valuation model which calculates the present value of future cash flows. For purposes of impairment evaluation and measurement, the MSRs are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. For First Tennessee, these risk characteristics include adjustable rate conventional and government; fixed rate conventional and government by interest rate band; and multifamily. The MSRs are amortized as noninterest expense over the period of and in proportion to the estimated net servicing revenues. A quarterly value impairment analysis is performed using a discounted cash flow methodology that is disaggregated by predominant risk characteristics. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance for individual strata. Prior to January 1, 1995, only purchased mortgage servicing rights (PMSRs) were recognized as assets. The value of PMSRs was established using the lesser of a discounted cash flow analysis, current market value, or the amount of consideration specifically paid by First Tennessee. The PMSRs were amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the servicing income. A quarterly value impairment analysis was performed using a discounted methodology that was disaggregated by purchase transaction. This was the basis of presentation for years prior to 1995. LOANS. Loans are stated at principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest on certain consumer installment loans is recognized by the sum-of-the-months-digits method, which does not differ materially from the effective interest method. Interest on other loans is recognized at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Impaired loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status. Loans are ordinarily placed on nonaccrual status when, in management's opinion, the collection of principal or interest is unlikely, or when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Consumer installment loans and credit card receivables are not placed on nonaccrual status, but are charged off when past due 120 days and 180 days, respectively. Accrued but uncollected interest is reversed and charged against interest income when the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. On consumer loans, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed when the loan is charged off. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to recover the principal balance and accrued interest. Interest payments received on nonaccrual and impaired loans are normally applied to principal. Once all principal has been received, additional interest payments are recognized on a cash basis as interest income. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management determines is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's assessment includes the systematic evaluation of several factors: current and anticipated economic conditions and their impact on specific borrowers and industry groups; the level of classified and nonperforming loans; the historical loss experience by loan type; the results of regulatory examinations of the portfolio; and, in specific cases, the estimated value of underlying collateral. The actual amounts realized could differ in the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the allowance for possible loan losses reported in the financial statements. All losses of principal are charged to the account when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss is probable. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to current operations or recovery of principal on loans previously charged off. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and include additions that materially 37 extend the useful lives of existing premises and equipment. All other maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are reflected in noninterest income and expense. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and are expensed to noninterest expense. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease periods or the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE. Real estate acquired by foreclosure consists of properties that have been acquired in satisfaction of debt. These properties are carried at the lower of the outstanding loan amount or the estimated fair market value minus the estimated cost to sell the real estate. Losses arising at foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Required developmental costs associated with foreclosed property under construction are capitalized and included in determining the estimated net realizable value of the property which is reviewed periodically, and any write-downs are charged against current earnings as market adjustments. INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets consists of "Premium on purchased deposits and assets" and "Goodwill." The "Premium on purchased deposits and assets" represents identified intangible assets, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives, except for those assets related to deposit bases that are primarily amortized over 10 years. "Goodwill" represents the excess of cost over net assets of acquired subsidiaries less identifiable intangible assets and is amortized to noninterest expense using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of goodwill should be revised. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. First Tennessee utilizes a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage various financial risks. These instruments include interest rate swaps, futures, forwards, and option contracts. To qualify as a hedge used to manage interest rate risk, the following criteria must be met: (1) the asset or liability to be hedged exposes the institution to interest rate risk; (2) the instrument alters or reduces sensitivity to interest rate changes; and (3) the instrument is designated and effective as a hedge. For interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk, income and expense are recorded as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of the related on-balance sheet asset or liability. Fees on interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized over the lives of the contracts. For those off-balance sheet transactions used to manage interest rate risks that are terminated prior to maturity, realized gains and losses are deferred and amortized over the remaining original life of the agreement as an adjustment to the hedged asset or liability. Gains and losses on interest rate forwards, futures, and option contracts classified as hedges are deferred and amortized over the lives of the hedged assets and liabilities. The amortization of these gains and losses is an adjustment to interest income and expense. Any contracts that fail to qualify for hedge accounting are included in current earnings in noninterest income. Off-balance sheet financial instruments held or issued by the bond division are valued at prevailing market rates on a present value basis. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in noninterest income as bond division income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange agreements with customers are included in noninterest income. TRUST SERVICES INCOME. Trust services income is recorded on the accrual basis of accounting. Prior to January 1, 1995, trust services income was reported on a cash basis, which was not materially different from the accrual basis. INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes is based on income reported for consolidated financial statement purposes and includes deferred taxes resulting from the recognition of certain revenues and expenses in different periods for tax reporting purposes. First Tennessee files consolidated federal and state income tax returns except for a credit life insurance company which files a separate return. INCOME PER SHARE. Income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Options granted under the stock option plans are not included in the computation since their dilutive effect is not material. Previously reported per share amounts 38 have been restated for the effect of acquisitions accounted for as poolings of interests and for the February 16, 1996, two-for-one stock split. ACCOUNTING CHANGES. On January 1, 1996, First Tennessee adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." This standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of First Tennessee. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was adopted January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Under the fair value-based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based upon the value of the award and is recognized over the service period. The standard encourages all entities to adopt this method of accounting; however, it allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for its plans as prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this election, First Tennessee continues to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and provides additional disclosure on the pro forma impact of the fair value-based method under SFAS No. 123. See Note 14 - Stock Option, Restrictive Stock Incentive, and Dividend Reinvestment Plans for further disclosure. In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which will be effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. The Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings based on a control-oriented "financial components" approach. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. First Tennessee adopted SFAS No. 125 on January 1, 1997. The impact of adoption will not be material to the financial position or results of operations of First Tennessee. 39 NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS The following table provides information concerning acquisitions completed during the three years ended December 31, 1996.

* Consumer real estate loans included $1,705,758,000 and $1,537,064,000 of first and second liens and home equity loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. ** Loans are presented net of $5,023,000 and $6,079,000 unearned income for December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. On January 1, 1995, First Tennessee adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." On that date, impaired loans included in nonperforming loans totaled $9,742,000 with a related allowance of $2,542,000. Included in nonperforming loans are other nonaccrual loans and loans which have been restructured. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were no outstanding commitments to advance additional funds to customers whose loans had been restructured. The following table presents nonperforming loans at December 31:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impaired loans $ 10,322 $ 11,865 Other nonaccrual loans 8,604 7,175 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans $ 18,926 $ 19,040 ===========================================================================
Restructured impaired loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were $279,000 and $303,000, respectively. Interest income recognized on impaired loans, which includes interest earned in previous years, was $508,000 and for other nonaccrual loans was $1,006,000 in 1996. For 1995, interest income recognized on impaired and other nonaccrual loans was $1,405,000. Under their original terms, interest income would have been approximately $886,000 for impaired loans and $501,000 for other nonaccrual loans in 1996. For 1995, under their original terms, interest income on impaired and other nonaccrual loans would have been approximately $1,374,000. The average balance of impaired loans was approximately $9,784,000 for 1996 and $10,441,000 for 1995. 43 Activity in the allowance for loan losses related to non-impaired and impaired loans for years ended December 31 is summarized as follows:

46 NOTE 7 - CAPITALIZED MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Following is a summary of changes in capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition:
(Dollars in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 1993 $ 85,983 Amortization (14,936) Purchased mortgage servicing rights, net 1,675 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 1994 72,722 Amortization (14,980) Originated mortgage servicing rights 92,262 Purchased mortgage servicing rights, net (784) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 1995 149,220 Amortization (26,041) Originated mortgage servicing rights 144,988 Sales of servicing rights (2,140) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DECEMBER 31, 1996 $266,027 ==============================================================================
The capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1996 and 1995, included originated mortgage servicing rights which were related to loans held for sale to investors of $10,625,000 and $11,289,000. First Tennessee retains the servicing when these loans are sold. The mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1996 and 1995, had estimated market values of approximately $293.1 million and $166.2 million, respectively. These balances represent the rights to service approximately $19 billion and $12 billion of mortgage loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995. In addition, First Tennessee had approximately $3 billion and $5 billion of mortgage loans for which the servicing rights were not capitalized at December 31, 1996 and 1995. These mortgage servicing rights had estimated market values of $30.6 million and $43.6 million, respectively. No valuation allowance was required as of December 31, 1996 or 1995. 47 NOTE 8 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other borrowed funds which include term federal funds purchased, short-term bank notes, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which totaled $200 million at December 31, 1996, are collateralized 150 percent with first-lien permanent mortgage loans of First Tennessee Bank National Association. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and commercial paper generally have maturities of less than 90 days. Other short-term borrowings have original maturities of one year or less. The detail of these borrowings for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 is presented in the following table:
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Other Under Agreements Commercial Short-term (Dollars in thousands) to Repurchase Paper Borrowings - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 Average balance $ 1,588,101 $ 22,207 $ 497,870 Year-end balance 1,881,187 22,648 354,721 Maximum month-end outstanding 1,881,187 33,790 699,113 Average rate for the year 4.91% 4.39% 6.15% Average rate at year-end 5.65 4.43 5.92 1995 Average balance $ 1,491,033 $ 35,579 $ 368,630 Year-end balance 1,674,225 29,402 57,118 Maximum month-end outstanding 1,953,448 44,755 547,131 Average rate for the year 5.43% 5.14% 7.07% Average rate at year-end 4.96 4.59 6.52 1994 Average balance $ 1,045,571 $ 34,351 $ 645,447 Year-end balance 1,457,517 67,820 284,702 Maximum month-end outstanding 1,457,517 67,820 894,840 Average rate for the year 3.87% 3.77% 5.46% Average rate at year-end 5.15 4.57 8.05 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1996, $40.0 million of unused borrowings under unsecured lines of credit from non-affiliated banks were available to the parent company to provide for general liquidity needs at an annual facility fee of .125 percent. 48 NOTE 9 - RESTRICTIONS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER DISCLOSURES RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS. The commercial banking subsidiaries of First Tennessee are required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve balances required at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were $160,013,000 and $158,328,000, respectively. These reserves are included in "Cash and due from banks" on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS. Dividends are paid by First Tennessee from its assets which are mainly provided by dividends from its subsidiaries. Certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of the banking subsidiaries to transfer funds to First Tennessee in the form of cash, dividends, loans or advances. As of December 31, 1996, the banking subsidiaries had undivided profits of $706,172,000 of which $293,094,000 was available for distribution to First Tennessee as dividends without prior regulatory approval. RESTRICTIONS ON INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS. Under Federal Banking law, banking subsidiaries may not extend credit to the parent company in excess of 10 percent of the banks' capital stock and surplus, as defined, or $110,134,000 at December 31, 1996. The parent company had borrowings of $18,250,000 from First Tennessee Bank National Association (FTBNA) at December 31, 1996. Certain loan agreements also define other restricted transactions related to additional borrowings. CONTINGENCIES. In May 1996, FTBNA was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in federal court in Alabama wherein plaintiffs assert that FTBNA and another defendant had engaged in unfair and deceptive practices in connection with the financing of "nonrecurring sale items." The Complaint alleges violations of the Truth In Lending Act and the federal RICO statute and fraud by suppression with respect to Alabama residents. In addition to these theories, plaintiffs proceed against FTBNA on an agency theory. The Complaint seeks unqualified compensatory, triple, and punitive damages. Subsequently, eight additional individual lawsuits and one class action lawsuit arising out of the same set of circumstances have been filed in state court in Alabama, asserting claims of fraud, specifically misrepresentation and failure to disclose. Plaintiffs in the state cases also proceed against FTBNA on an agency theory. FTBNA denies liability and denies that any co-defendant is its agent. In addition to these lawsuits, 23 similar individual lawsuits have been threatened to be filed in state court in Alabama. As a result, there can be no assurance that FTBNA will not be named as a defendant in future similar lawsuits. Various other claims and lawsuits are pending against First Tennessee and its subsidiaries. Although First Tennessee cannot predict the outcome of the foregoing actions, after consulting with counsel, it is management's opinion that when resolved, the amount, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of First Tennessee and its subsidiaries. OTHER DISCLOSURES - BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE. First Tennessee has purchased life insurance on certain of its employees and is the beneficiary on these policies. At December 31, 1996, the cash surrender value of the policies, which is included in "Bond division receivables and other assets" on the Consolidated Statements of Condition, was $65,710,000 with an original face value of $60,000,000. There are no restrictions on the proceeds from these benefits, and First Tennessee has not borrowed against the cash surrender value of these policies. 49 NOTE 10 - REGULATORY CAPITAL First Tennessee is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on First Tennessee's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices must be met. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require First Tennessee to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that First Tennessee met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency at June 30, 1996, categorized First Tennessee as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized First Tennessee must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. In the opinion of management, at December 31, 1996, no conditions or events have occurred since that notification that would change First Tennessee's category. First Tennessee's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below:

* The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings were collateralized 150 percent with first-lien permanent mortgage loans of FTBNA. Annual principal repayment requirements as of December 31, 1996, are as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) - ----------------------------------------------- 1997 $65,827 1998 1,930 1999 90,848 2000 200 2001 200 2002-2010 76,583 - -----------------------------------------------
At maturity, the 10 3/8 percent subordinated notes will be redeemed, at First Tennessee's option, in cash from the proceeds of the sale of capital securities, or exchanged for qualifying capital securities having a market value equal to the principal amount of the notes. These notes are unsecured and subordinate to all present and future senior debt of First Tennessee. 52 NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS AGREEMENT In September 1989, First Tennessee adopted a Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement (the Agreement) and distributed a dividend of one right on each outstanding share of common stock held on September 18, 1989, or issued thereafter and prior to the time the rights separate. On January 21, 1997, First Tennessee amended and restated the Agreement. As so amended, the Agreement provides that until the 10th business day (subject to certain adjustments by the board of directors) after a person or group commences a tender or exchange offer that will result in such person or group owning 10 percent or more of First Tennessee's common stock, or the public announcement by First Tennessee that a person or group owns 10 percent or more of First Tennessee's common stock, the rights will be evidenced by the common stock certificates, will automatically trade with the common stock, and will not be exercisable. Thereafter, separate rights certificates will be distributed, and each right will entitle its holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of participating preferred stock having economic and voting terms similar to those of one share of common stock for an exercise price of $150. If any person or group acquires 10 percent or more of First Tennessee's common stock, then each right (other than rights beneficially owned by holders of 10 percent or more of the common stock or transferees thereof, which rights become void) will entitle its holder to purchase, for the exercise price, a number of shares of First Tennessee common stock or participating preferred stock having a market value of twice the exercise price. Also, if there is a 10 percent shareholder and First Tennessee is involved in certain significant transactions, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, for the exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the other party having a market value of twice the exercise price. If any person or group acquires between 10 percent and 50 percent of First Tennessee's common stock, First Tennessee's board of directors may, at its option, exchange one share of First Tennessee common stock or one one-hundredth of a share of participating preferred stock for each right. The rights will expire on the earliest of one of the following three times: the time of the exchange described in the preceding sentence; September 18, 1999; or the date the rights are redeemed as described in the following sentence. The rights may be redeemed by the board of directors for $0.0033 per right until 10 business days after First Tennessee announces that any person or group owns 10 percent or more of First Tennessee's common stock. 53 NOTE 13 - SAVINGS, PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SAVINGS PLAN. Substantially all employees of First Tennessee are covered by a contributory savings plan in conjunction with a flexible benefits plan. During the year, First Tennessee makes contributions to each eligible employee's flexible benefits plan account. These contributions are based on length of service and a percentage of the employee's salary. The employees have the option to direct a portion or all of the contribution into their savings plan accounts. Employees may also make pre-tax and after-tax personal contributions to the savings plan. First Tennessee matches the majority of employee pre-tax contributions invested in First Tennessee's common stock at a rate of $.50 for each $1.00 invested up to 6 percent of the employee's qualifying salary. Contributions made by First Tennessee to the flexible benefits plan were $13,202,000 for 1996, $9,996,000 for 1995 and $8,276,000 for 1994. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS. The actuarial assumptions used in the defined pension plan and the other employee benefit plans were as follows:
1996 1995 1994 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 7.75% 7.25% 8.50% Weighted average rate of increase in future compensation 4.0 4.7 4.8 Expected long-term rate of return on assets dedicated to employees who retired prior to January 1, 1993 6.5 6.5 6.5 Expected long-term rate of return on assets 10.0 10.0 9.5 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PENSION PLAN. Substantially all employees of First Tennessee are covered by a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. Pension benefits are based on years of service, average compensation near retirement, and estimated social security benefits at age 65. The annual funding is based on an actuarially determined amount using the entry age cost method. First Tennessee's policy to fund amounts which are actuarially determined is in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The components of pension expense for the years ended December 31 were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service cost-benefits earned during the year $ 6,083 $ 5,210 $ 6,792 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 7,895 6,907 6,459 Gain on plan assets (12,330) (27,516) (676) Net amortization and deferral (2,398) 15,677 (9,582) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pension expense/(benefit) $ (750) $ 278 $ 2,993 ==============================================================================
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at December 31:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plan assets at fair value $169,488 $150,685 Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation* 107,403 108,215 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation 62,085 42,470 Unrecognized net (gain)/loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions (9,963) 72 Prior service cost not yet recognized in pension expense 2,848 3,138 Unrecognized net transitional asset (2,780) (3,240) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prepaid pension expense $ 52,190 $ 42,440 ====================================================================================
* At December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the actuarial present values of the accumulated benefit obligation were $82,435,000 and $86,495,000, of which vested benefits were $80,741,000 and $84,302,000. The accumulated benefit obligation excludes projected future increases in compensation. OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. First Tennessee provides postretirement medical insurance to full-time employees retiring under the provisions of the First Tennessee Pension Plan. The postretirement medical plan is contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plan is based on criteria that are a combination of the employee's age and years of service and utilizes a two-step approach. For any employee retiring on or after January 1, 1995, First Tennessee will contribute a fixed amount based on years of service and age at time of retirement. 54 The following table sets forth the plans' funded status reconciled to the amount shown in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at December 31:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO): Retirees $(16,083) $(14,236) Actives (7,779) (8,948) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total APBO (23,862) (23,184) Plan assets at fair value 11,198 11,055 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APBO in excess of plan assets (12,664) (12,129) Unrecognized: Net transition obligation 15,818 16,807 Prior service cost 41 44 Prepaid benefit cost (1,270) (394) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid postretirement benefit cost $ 1,925 $ 4,328 ================================================================================
Postretirement benefit expense for the years ended December 31 included the following components:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 1994 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 608 $ 427 $ 556 Interest cost on APBO 1,689 1,762 1,578 Actual return on assets (1,004) (1,867) (864) Amortization of transition obligation 989 989 989 Total of other components 121 1,048 172 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Postretirement benefit expense $ 2,403 $ 2,359 $2,431 ============================================================================
The cost of health care benefits was projected to increase at an annual per capita rate of 9.75 percent in 1996 and decrease evenly to a rate of 5.75 percent by the year 2000 and remain at an even level thereafter. In 1995, the annual rate of increase was assumed to be 10.75 percent decreasing evenly to a rate of 5.75 percent by the year 2000 and remaining at that level thereafter. In 1994, the annual rate of increase was assumed to be 13 percent decreasing evenly to a rate of 7 percent by the year 2000 and remaining at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. The following table illustrates the effect of increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by 1 percent:
(Dollars in thousands) Current Trend Increased Trend Percent Change - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APBO at December 31, 1996 $23,862 $24,792 3.9+ Service and interest cost 2,297 2,392 4.1+ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The funding policy for the plan is to fund the maximum amount deductible under the current tax regulations. The plan assets consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities. The trust holding the plan assets for employees that retired prior to January 1, 1993, is subject to federal income taxes at a 35 percent tax rate. The trust holding the plan assets for all other employees, actives and those retired since 1992, is not subject to federal income taxes. First Tennessee provides benefits to former and inactive employees after employment but before retirement. The obligation/(benefit) recognized in accordance with accounting standards was $(.3) million in 1996, $1.9 million in 1995 and $2.5 million in 1994. Medical and group life insurance expenses incurred for active employees are shown in the following table:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 1994 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical plan expense based on claims incurred $10,762 $8,673 $9,841 Participants 5,267 5,304 5,400 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group life insurance expense based on benefits incurred $ 865 $ 783 $1,088 Participants 8,022 7,744 6,413 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
55 NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTION, RESTRICTIVE STOCK INCENTIVE, AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS STOCK OPTION PLANS. First Tennessee issues non-qualified stock options under various plans to employees, non-employee directors, and bank advisory board members. The plans provide for the issuance of First Tennessee common stock at a price equal to its fair market value at the date of grant; however, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value if the grantee has agreed to receive the options in lieu of compensation. The foregone compensation plus the exercise price must equal the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. All options expire 10 years from the date of grant, except for those options that were part of compensation deferral, which expire 20 years from the date of grant. There were 1,776,607 shares available for option plan grants at December 31, 1996. The summary of stock option activity is shown below:
Options Weighted Average Outstanding Exercise Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------ January 1, 1994 2,437,828 $11.35 Options granted 1,116,844 19.66 Stock options exercised (324,232) 8.70 Stock options canceled (57,636) 13.80 ---------- December 31, 1994 3,172,804 14.50 ========== Options exercisable 1,399,302 10.47 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ January 1, 1995 3,172,804 $14.50 Options granted 1,211,168 20.64 Stock options exercised (439,372) 11.05 Stock options canceled (260,366) 20.49 ---------- December 31, 1995 3,684,234 16.50 ========== Options exercisable 1,653,598 12.40 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ January 1, 1996 3,684,234 $16.50 Options granted 2,078,798 29.05 Stock options exercised (397,821) 14.31 Stock options canceled (346,893) 25.66 ---------- DECEMBER 31, 1996 5,018,318 21.24 ========== Options exercisable 2,285,900 16.80 - ------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1996:
Weighted Average Exercise Price Options Remaining Weighted Average Range Outstanding Contractual Life Exercise Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------ $ 8.00 - $12.00 909,143 4.36 years $ 8.86 $12.01 - $22.00 2,263,095 7.50 years 19.62 $22.01 - $30.00 786,077 16.63 years 27.11 $30.01 - $45.00 1,060,003 9.61 years 30.99 - ------------------------------------------------------------------
First Tennessee accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," First Tennessee's net income and income per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
December 31 ------------------- (Dollars in thousands except per share data) 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income, as reported $179,907 $164,888 Pro forma net income 178,068 164,354 Income per share, as reported 2.68 2.42 Pro forma income per share 2.65 2.42 - -------------------------------------------------------------------
56 Total compensation costs that would have been recognized in income under SFAS No. 123 for all stock-based compensation awards was $3,010,000 and $874,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years. First Tennessee used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in 1996 and 1995 with the following assumptions:
1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected dividend yield 3.76% 3.76% Expected option lives of options issued at market 5.72 years 4.03 years Expected option lives of options issued below market 2.65 years 5.96 years Expected volatility 16.75% 16.75% Risk-free interest rates 6.16% 6.62% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted Average Grant Date Number Fair Value Issued per Option - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996: Options issued at market on the date of grant 1,405,711 $5.32 Options issued below market on the date of grant 673,087 6.95 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995: Options issued at market on the date of grant 1,071,800 $3.38 Options issued below market on the date of grant 139,368 8.51 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTRICTED STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS. First Tennessee has authorized the issuance of its common stock for awards to executive employees who have a significant impact on the profitability of First Tennessee under restricted stock incentive plans. Additionally, the plans provide for 3,000 shares of restricted stock to be granted to each new non-employee director upon election to the Board with restrictions lapsing as defined in the plans. For the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, First Tennessee granted 109,196; 8,200 and 96,000 restricted shares under the plans, respectively. Compensation expense related to these plans was $1,541,000, $1,165,000 and $1,374,000 for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. There were 378,968 shares available for restricted stock incentive grants at December 31, 1996. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN. The Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, as amended in 1995, authorizes the sale of First Tennessee's common stock from authorized, but unissued common stock or from shares acquired on the open market to shareholders who choose to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends and make optional cash payments of $25 to $10,000 per quarter without paying commissions. Since 1988, shares for this plan have been purchased on the open market. The price of the shares purchased directly from First Tennessee is the mean between the high and low sales price on the investment date. The price of shares purchased on the open market is the average price paid. 57 NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES The components of income tax expense/(benefit) are as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $ 52,090 $46,502 $55,435 State 10,903 8,059 9,325 Deferred: Federal 40,266 29,734 (3,272) State (992) 3,774 (794) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $102,267 $88,069 $60,694 ================================================================================
The effective tax rates for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 36.24 percent, 34.82 percent and 29.21 percent, respectively. Income tax expense was different than the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes because of the following:

A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. As a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65," in 1995, First Tennessee recognizes deferred tax liabilities related to the difference between originated mortgage servicing rights recorded as assets in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases of the mortgage servicing rights. Temporary differences which gave rise to deferred tax (assets)/liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: Loss reserves $ (50,121) $(36,264) Net operating loss carryforwards (6,791) (7,499) Hedging transactions (477) -- Other (5,744) (2,822) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross deferred tax assets (63,133) (46,585) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES: Originated mortgage servicing rights 74,838 22,299 Depreciation 7,150 4,628 Employee benefits 4,879 6,119 Purchase accounting adjustments 4,510 4,510 Intangible assets 4,870 5,600 Lease operations 2,662 3,728 Operations services 3,615 -- Investments in loans and securities 1,694 6,736 Hedging transactions -- 4,453 Other 10,840 5,601 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross deferred tax liabilities 115,058 63,674 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax liabilities $ 51,925 $ 17,089 ===============================================================================
58 NOTE 16 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION First Tennessee provides traditional retail/commercial banking and other financial services to its customers. First Tennessee has three reportable segments: banking group, mortgage banking and bond division. Banking subsidiaries offer general banking products in 21 Tennessee counties, in northern Mississippi and in northwest Arkansas. Mortgage banking provides services in 29 states, and the bond division has offices in Dallas, Kansas City, Knoxville, Memphis and Mobile. Total revenue, expense, and asset levels reflect those which are specifically identifiable or which are allocated based on an internal allocation method. Because the allocations are based on internally developed assignments and allocations, they are to an extent subjective.

Capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization occurred primarily in the banking group. Capital expenditures were $37,549,000, $38,545,000 and $40,045,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $78,791,000, $68,944,000 and $56,118,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 59 NOTE 17 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK First Tennessee utilizes various financial instruments as part of its risk management strategy and as a means to meet customers' needs. These instruments are subject to credit and market risks that are not reflected on the balance sheet. The activities which currently employ financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are mortgage banking, interest rate risk management and bond division operations. First Tennessee also enters into commitments for lending related purposes to meet customers' financial needs. Controls and monitoring procedures for these instruments have been established and are routinely revised. The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) monitors the usage and effectiveness of financial instruments. ALCO, in conjunction with senior credit officers, also periodically reviews and revises counterparty credit limits. Credit Risk represents the maximum potential loss due to possible non-performance by obligors and counterparties under the terms of contracts. First Tennessee manages credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions through national exchanges, primary dealers or approved counterparties, and using mutual margining agreements whenever possible to limit potential exposure. With exchange-traded contracts, the credit risk is limited to the clearinghouse used. For non-exchange traded instruments, credit risk may occur when there is a gain in the fair value of the financial instrument and the counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of the contract and/or when the collateral proves to be of insufficient value. Market Risk represents the potential loss due to the decrease in the value of a financial instrument caused primarily by changes in interest rates, prepayment speeds or the prices of debt instruments. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance sheet hedges are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. LENDING RELATED First Tennessee enters into fixed and variable loan commitments with customers. When these commitments have contract rate adjustments that lag changes in market rates, the financial instruments have characteristics similar to option contracts. First Tennessee follows the same credit policies and underwriting practices in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Commitments to Extend Credit are contractual obligations to lend to a customer as long as all established contractual conditions are met. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The majority of First Tennessee's loan commitments have maturities less than one year and reflect the prevailing market rates at the time of the commitment. Since commitments may expire without being fully drawn upon, the total contract amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commercial and Standby Letters of Credit are conditional commitments issued by First Tennessee to guarantee the performance and/or payment of a customer to a third party in connection with specified transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing commercial and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The following is a summary of the maximum credit exposure of each class of lending related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding at December 31:
(Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit: Consumer credit card lines $1,622 $1,595 Consumer home equity 320 249 Commercial real estate and construction and land development 300 330 Mortgage banking 548 569 Other 1,642 1,381 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loan commitments 4,432 4,124 Other commitments: Standby letters of credit 470 250 Commercial letters of credit 3 5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loan and other commitments $4,905 $4,379 ================================================================================

Mortgage banking loan commitments have an additional off-balance sheet value resulting from originated mortgage servicing rights of approximately $7.6 million at December 31, 1996, and $4.1 million at December 31, 1995. MORTGAGE BANKING First Tennessee uses both forward sales and option contracts to protect the value of residential mortgage loans held for sale that are being underwritten for future sale to investors in the secondary market. Adverse market interest rate changes, between the time a customer receives a rate-lock commitment and the fully funded loan is sold to an investor, can erode the value of that mortgage. Therefore, First Tennessee enters into forward sales and option contracts to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the origination and sale of mortgage loans.
1996 1995 --------------------- --------------------- NOTIONAL FAIR Notional Fair (Dollars in millions) VALUE VALUE Value Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage pipeline and warehouse hedging: Interest rate forward contracts - commitments to sell $ 1,089.0 $ 3.4 $ 952.1 $ (4.5) Interest rate option contracts - put option purchased 13.0 (.1) 32.0 (.3) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residential mortgage loans are originated by First Tennessee to be sold in the secondary market. Some of these loans are sold with provisions of recourse. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the outstanding principal amount of these loans was $469.7 million and $682.1 million, respectively. The associated credit risk on these loans sold with recourse was $212.0 million and $421.0 million for December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. A reserve has been established to cover any inherent losses. These loans are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that reserves are adequate to provide for foreclosure losses. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT First Tennessee's ALCO focuses on managing market risk by controlling and limiting earnings volatility attributable to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk exists to the extent that interest-earning assets and liabilities have different maturity or repricing characteristics. First Tennessee uses off-balance sheet financial instruments that are designed to moderate the impact on earnings as interest rates move up or down. Interest Rate Swaps involve the exchange of interest payments at specified intervals between two parties without the exchange of any underlying principal. Notional amounts are used in such contracts to calculate interest payments due to each counterparty and do not represent credit exposure. The primary risks associated with swaps are the exposure to movements in interest rates and the ability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts. First Tennessee receives a fixed interest rate of 4.885 percent and pays a floating rate applied to an amortizing notional principal on the swap contract outstanding at December 31, 1996:
1996 1995 ----------------- ------------------ NOTIONAL FAIR Notional Fair (Dollars in millions) VALUE VALUE Value Value - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rate swap agreements: Receive fixed/pay floating - amortizing $ 34.2 $ (.2) $ 378.2 $ (1.3) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remaining index amortizing swap has a final maturity in 1997. 61 First Tennessee recognized $6,900,000 and $15,467,000 of loss in 1996 and 1995, respectively, on a terminated basis swap. BOND DIVISION OPERATIONS The bond division buys and sells mortgage securities, municipal bonds and other securities. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts. These transactions are measured at fair value, and gains or losses are recognized in earnings as they occur. Futures contracts are utilized by the bond division, from time to time, to manage exposure arising from the inventory position. Credit risk related to these transactions is controlled through credit approvals, risk control, limits and ongoing monitoring procedures through ALCO.
At For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 December 31, 1996 ----------------- ------------------ Net Average Notional Fair Gain/ Fair (Dollars in millions) Value Value (Loss) Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forward contracts: Commitments to buy: Gain position $ (566.9) $ 4.2 Loss position (606.3) (3.3) Commitments to sell: Gain position 616.1 2.8 Loss position 547.5 (4.8) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net position $ (9.6) $ (1.1) $ 61.2 $ (.3) ==========================================================================
At December 31, 1996, there were no futures or option contracts outstanding. A net loss of approximately $100,000 was recognized on futures contracts in 1996. The average fair value for futures and option contracts was less than $100,000 in 1996.

64 NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Accounting standards require the disclosure of estimated fair values of all asset, liability and off-balance sheet financial instruments. The following fair value estimates are determined as of a specific point in time utilizing various assumptions and estimates. The use of assumptions and various valuation techniques, as well as the absence of secondary markets for certain financial instruments, will likely reduce the comparability of fair value disclosures between financial institutions. In some cases, book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between origination of the instrument and its expected realization. The following table summarizes the book value and estimated fair value of financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as of December 31, 1996 and 1995:

Information on the fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments can be found in Note 17 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk. The following describes the assumptions and methodologies used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments: FLOATING RATE LOANS. With the exception of floating rate 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, the fair value is approximated by the book value. Floating rate 1-4 family residential mortgage loans reprice annually and will lag movements in market rates; whereas, commercial and consumer loans typically reprice monthly. The fair value for floating rate 1-4 family mortgage loans is calculated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value by using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same time period. Prepayment assumptions based on historical prepayment speeds have been applied to the floating rate 1-4 family residential mortgage portfolio. FIXED RATE LOANS. The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value by using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same time period. Prepayment assumptions based on historical prepayment speeds have been applied to the fixed rate mortgage and installment loan portfolios. NONACCRUAL LOANS. The fair value is approximated by the book value. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The fair value is approximated by the book value. Additionally, the credit exposure known to exist in the loan portfolio is embodied in the allowance for loan losses. LIQUID ASSETS. The fair value is approximated by the book value. For the purpose of this disclosure, liquid assets consist of federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, bond division securities inventory and investment in bank time deposits. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE. Fair values are based primarily on quoted market prices. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Fair values are based primarily on quoted market prices. 65 SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY. Fair values are based primarily on quoted market prices. INTEREST RATE FLOORS. Fair values are based primarily on quoted market prices. NONEARNING ASSETS. The fair value is approximated by the book value. For the purpose of this disclosure, nonearning assets include cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable, bond division receivables and excess mortgage servicing fees. DEFINED MATURITY DEPOSITS. The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted by using the current market rates of similar instruments applicable to the remaining maturity. For the purpose of this disclosure, defined maturity deposits include all certificates of deposit and other time deposits. UNDEFINED MATURITY DEPOSITS. The fair value is considered to be equal to the book value. For the purpose of this disclosure, undefined maturity deposits include demand deposits, checking interest accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS. The fair value of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, bank notes and other short-term borrowings is approximated by the book value. The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings is determined using discounted future cash flows. TERM BORROWINGS. The fair value is approximated by the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted by the investor's yield which considers First Tennessee's debt rating. OTHER NONINTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES. For the purpose of this disclosure, other noninterest-bearing liabilities include accrued interest payable and bond division payables. Accrued interest, which is not payable until maturity, has been discounted to its present value given current market rates and the maturity structure of the financial instrument. The fair value of bond division payables approximates the book value. 66 NOTE 21 - GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN FIRST TENNESSEE'S SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES On December 30, 1996, First Tennessee, through its underwriters, sold to institutional investors $100 million of capital securities. First Tennessee Capital I (Capital I), a Delaware business trust owned by First Tennessee, issued $100 million of Capital Securities, Series A at 8.07%. The proceeds were upstreamed to First Tennessee as junior subordinated debt under the same terms and conditions. These capital securities qualify as Tier I capital, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by First Tennessee, and are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as "Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in First Tennessee's Subordinated Debentures." The sole asset of Capital I is $100 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by First Tennessee. These junior subordinated debentures also carry an interest rate of 8.07 percent. Both the capital securities of Capital I and the junior subordinated debentures of First Tennessee will mature on January 6, 2027; however, under certain circumstances, the maturity of both may be shortened to a date not earlier than January 6, 2017. Although December 30, 1996, was the trade date for this sale, the transaction settled on January 6, 1997. A portion of these proceeds were used to purchase First Tennessee common stock. On January 7, 1997, First Tennessee purchased and retired 1.9 million shares of its common stock under an accelerated repurchase program with a non-affiliated party. Under the terms of the program, the purchase price paid by First Tennessee will be adjusted to reflect the market price of the stock repurchased by the non-affiliated party at the conclusion of the repurchase program. 67 NOTE 22 - PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION Following are condensed statements of the parent company:

70 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of First Tennessee National Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of First Tennessee National Corporation (a Tennessee corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Tennessee National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
