                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
                    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
 
  General--The consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and to general industry practices. The accompanying
interim financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. The notes included herein should be read in
conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in
AmSouth Bancorporation's (AmSouth) 1993 annual report to shareholders on Form
10-K.
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmSouth and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Prior year financial statements have been restated to include the
accounts of business combinations accounted for as poolings-of-interests unless
immaterial. Results of operations of companies purchased are included from the
dates of acquisitions.
 
  Effective January 1, 1994, AmSouth adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (Statement 115). The Statement generally requires that debt and
equity securities that have readily determinable fair values be carried at fair
value unless they are intended to be held to maturity. Securities are
classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost only if AmSouth
has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. If
not classified as held-to-maturity, such securities are classified as trading
securities or securities available for sale. Net unrealized holding gains or
losses for securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The adoption of
Statement 115 resulted in no material impact on AmSouth's financial condition.
 
  The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan." The statement requires that certain impaired loans be measured based on
the present value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
AmSouth anticipates adoption of Statement 114 by January 1, 1995 as required,
and the effect on AmSouth's financial condition or results of operations has
not been determined.
 
  Business Combinations--During the second quarter of 1994, AmSouth completed
business combinations with Citizens National Corporation (Citizens),
headquartered in Naples, Florida, Parkway Bancorp, Inc. (Parkway),
headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, and First Federal Savings Bank, Calhoun,
Georgia (Calhoun), all of which were accounted for using the pooling-of-
interests method of accounting. AmSouth issued approximately 1,604,000,
629,000, and 442,000 shares of common stock for all of the outstanding shares
of common stock of Citizens, Parkway, and Calhoun, respectively. At March 31,
1994, Citizens, Parkway, and Calhoun had total assets of approximately $313
million, $130 million, and $72 million, respectively.
 
  In the aggregate, when the three month period ended March 31, 1994 is
restated for these three poolings-of-interests, AmSouth's gross interest margin
will be $134.3 million, net income will be $39.0 million and earnings per
common share will be $0.72.
 
  On June 23, 1994, AmSouth completed the acquisition of Fortune Bancorp, Inc.
(Fortune), which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting,
through the issuance of approximately 4,474,000 shares of common stock and
payment of approximately $144.6 million in cash. At June 23, 1994, Fortune had
total consolidated assets of approximately $2.7 billion including loans net of
unearned income of approximately $1.5 billion and securities of approximately
$906.7 million. Fortune's total deposits at June 23, 1994 were approximately
$1.7 billion. Approximately $167.0 million of goodwill resulting from the
acquisition will be amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.
 
  The operating results of the Fortune acquisition are included in AmSouth's
consolidated statement of earnings since the date of acquisition. The following
unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated

after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of goodwill
and related income tax effects. These pro forma results have been prepared for

have occurred had the acquisition been made as of the beginning of 1993 or of
results which may occur in the future.

  On March 9, 1994, AmSouth signed an agreement to enter into a business
combination with The Tampa Banking Company (Tampa), headquartered in Tampa,
Florida, and its subsidiary, The Bank of Tampa. At June 30, 1994, Tampa had
total consolidated assets of approximately $218.9 million and total
consolidated deposits of approximately $203.7 million. Under the terms of the
agreement, AmSouth will issue 1.5592 shares of AmSouth common stock for each of
the outstanding shares of Tampa common stock, subject to adjustment. At June
30, 1994, Tampa, had approximately 629,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
The transaction will be accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting.
 
On March 31, 1994, AmSouth signed an agreement to acquire Community Federal
Savings Bank (Community), headquartered in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. At June
30, 1994, Community had total assets of approximately $102.8 million and total
deposits of approximately $88.4 million. Under the terms of the agreement,
AmSouth will pay $65.50 for each of the outstanding shares of Community common
stock for a total purchase price of approximately $17.2 million. The
transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
  Cash Flows--For the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, AmSouth paid
interest of $179,286,000 and $164,731,000, respectively, and income taxes of
$54,608,000 and $43,593,000, respectively. Noncash transfers from loans to
foreclosed properties for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 were
$19,233,000 and $4,288,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993, noncash transfers from foreclosed properties to loans were
$2,607,000 and none, respectively. Noncash transfers from available-for-sale
securities to held-to-maturity securities for the six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993, were $327,886,000 and none, respectively.
 
  Long-Term Debt--On May 19, 1994, AmSouth issued $150.0 million in 7 3/4%
Subordinated Notes Due 2004 at a discounted price of 99.389%. The net proceeds
to AmSouth after commissions totaled $148.1 million for an effective rate to
maturity of 7.94%. The notes will mature on May 15, 2004 and are not redeemable
prior to maturity. Substantially all of the proceeds from the notes were used
for the Fortune acquisition.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
AmSouth Bancorporation
 
  We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of
AmSouth Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated statement of cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
 
  We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
 
  Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
  We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated statement of condition of AmSouth Bancorporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 31, 1994, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
statement of conditions as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from
which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
  For the six months ended June 30, 1994, AmSouth reported net income of $81.9
million compared to $77.8 million for the same period of 1993. On a per common
share basis, AmSouth earned $1.50 compared to $1.54 for the first six months of
1993. AmSouth's net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $42.9 million,
compared to $39.7 million for the second quarter of 1993. Earnings per common
share was the same for both quarters at $0.78.
 
  For the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the annualized return on
average assets (ROA) was 1.20% and 1.30%, respectively. The annualized return
on average equity (ROE) for the same periods was 13.85% and 15.79%. For the
second quarter, ROA and ROE were 1.22% and 14.31%, respectively, compared to
1.29% and 15.55% for the second quarter of 1993.
 
 Net Interest Margin
 
  The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1994 totaled $265.4
million compared to $231.3 million for the same period of 1993. An increase in
revenue from earning assets and a decrease in provision for loan losses were
partially offset by an increase in interest expense. For the second quarter of
1994 and 1993, the net interest margin was $133.4 million and $117.1 million,
respectively. The gross interest spread declined 20 basis points for the six
months and 22 basis points for the quarter compared to the prior year. The
provision for loan losses for the six months and three months ended June 30,
1994 totaled $5.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, the result of
continued good asset quality and an increase in recoveries of loans previously
charged off.
 
  A 13.8% increase in year-to-date average earning assets combined with a 26
basis point decline in the six month annualized yield resulted in a $42.6
million increase in revenue from earning assets. The primary reason for the
increase in average earning assets was a 20.5% increase in average loans net of
unearned income. Exclusive of the acquisition of Mid-State Federal Savings Bank
(Mid-State) in December 1993 and Fortune in June 1994, which were accounted for
as purchases, AmSouth experienced loan growth of approximately 13%. Residential
first mortgages represented approximately 36% of this growth. At June 30, 1994,
the majority of AmSouth's residential loan portfolio consisted of adjustable
rate mortgages; therefore the declining rates on residential first mortgages
over the past twelve months contributed to the decrease in average earning
asset yields.
 
  The year-to-date average balance of total securities increased 3.6% with the
six month annualized yield falling from 6.99% to 6.43%. The decline in yields
on securities was partially due to the overall decline in the market. Maturing
securities and securities sold were partially replaced with lower yielding
instruments.
 
  Year-to-date average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.2 billion,
funding approximately 79% of the increase in average earning assets. Another
14% of the increase was funded by a $209.3 million increase in average
noninterest bearing demand deposits. In general the rates paid on interest-
bearing liabilities are declining slower than the decline of yields on earning
assets. This slower decline resulted in a 20 basis point decline in both the
incremental and gross interest spread for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the incremental and gross interest spreads
decreased 25 and 22 basis points, respectively, compared to the same period of
the prior year.
 
  AmSouth maintains an asset and liability process to control interest rate
risk and assist management in maintaining stability in the gross interest
margin. In addition, AmSouth utilizes various off-balance sheet instruments
such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors to manage interest rate risk.
Tables 4 and 5 summarize recent use of interest rate contracts and the maturity
of current contracts outstanding. The contracts

  In addition, AmSouth had interest rate contracts on behalf of its customers
in the amount of $83.2 million at June 30, 1994. For the six months ended June
30, 1994 and 1993, interest rate contracts increased the gross interest margin
$1.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30,
1994, interest rate contracts had no material impact on the gross interest
margin. The impact on the gross interest margin for the second quarter of 1993
was an increase of $2.1 million.
 
 Credit Quality
 
  AmSouth maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb potential future
losses. AmSouth's management continuously evaluates the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. As changes in the mix of the loan portfolio occur,
including the current increase in residential first mortgage loans which
inherently have less risk, management will monitor not only the absolute level
of the allowance but also the coverage ratio of nonperforming loans. Table 6
shows a comparison of the types of loans outstanding, nonperforming loans by
type, and net charge-offs by type for June 30, 1994 and 1993. The coverage
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to
161.95% compared to 188.11% at June 30, 1993. A five quarter comparison of the
components of nonperforming assets is shown in Table 7. Nonperforming assets as
a percentage of loans net of unearned income, foreclosed properties and
repossessions increased from 1.22% at June 30, 1993 to 1.30% at June 30, 1994.
Without the effect of the Fortune purchase, the level of nonperforming assets
remained essentially flat.
 
  Table 8 presents a five quarter analysis of the allowance for loan losses. At
June 30, 1994, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans net of unearned
income was 1.56% compared to 1.50% for the prior year. The purchase of Fortune
added $35.0 million to the allowance for loan losses. Annualized net charge-
offs to average loans net of unearned income for the three months ended June
30, 1994 was 16 basis points compared to 47 basis points for the same period of
1993.
 
 Noninterest Revenues and Noninterest Expenses
 
  Noninterest revenues remained level for both the six months and quarter ended
June 30, 1994 compared to the same periods of 1993. Within the components of
noninterest revenues, year-to-date increases occurred in service charges on
deposit accounts of $3.4 million, trust income of $2.6 million and gains on
securities available-for-sale of $1.9 million. For the second quarter, the
largest increases occurred in service changes on deposit accounts and trust
income with each increasing $1.6 million over the prior year. The increase in
service charges on deposit accounts for both periods was primarily due to an
increased volume of analysis fees on corporate accounts and overdraft fees.
Portfolio income decreased $3.9 million for the six months and $1.1 million for
the quarter primarily due to declines in the securities market in 1994. Year-
to-date and second quarter investment services income decreased $3.8 million
and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily due to continued interest rate
instability in the bond market.
 
  Noninterest expenses increased $24.5 million for the six months and $11.4
million for the second quarter compared to 1993. Exclusive of Mid-State,
noninterest expenses increased during the same periods, $17.1 million and $7.7
million, respectively. Year-to-date and quarterly salaries and employee
benefits increased
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
$8.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, with $2.7 million and $1.4 million
attributable to Mid-State. Net occupancy expense increased $3.7 million for the
six months and $2.5 million for the quarter. Other operating expenses increased
$9.9 million year-to-date and $4.3 million for the quarter primarily due to
investment expenses and general overhead costs.
 
 Capital Adequacy
 
  At June 30, 1994, shareholders' equity totaled $1.3 billion, or 7.66% of
total assets. Since December 31, 1993, shareholders' equity increased $184.6
million primarily due to the equity issued for the Fortune purchase of $125.8
million and to net income less dividends of $43.2 million. In May 1994, AmSouth
issued $150.0 million in long-term subordinated debt which qualifies as Tier 2
capital. At June 30, 1994, AmSouth remains well above the regulatory minimum
required risk-adjusted Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.00% and the regulatory minimum
required risk-adjusted total capital ratio of 8.00%. Table 12 presents the
calculation of the risk-adjusted capital ratios for AmSouth at June 30, 1994
and 1993. In addition, the risk-adjusted capital ratios for AmSouth's banking
subsidiaries were well above the regulatory minimum and each subsidiary was
well-capitalized at June 30, 1994. The total risk-adjusted capital ratio for
each of AmSouth's major subsidiaries was:

SECTION 2.5:    CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE

                For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice
                of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any
                adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive
                payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination
                of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of
                Directors of the corporation may provide that the stock 
                transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to
                exceed, in any case, fifty (50) days, or in the case of a
                determination of shareholders eligible to vote at a special
                meeting of shareholders called by the shareholders, not more
                than seventy-five (75) days.  If the stock transfer books
                shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders
                entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
                shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10)
                days immediately preceding such meeting.  In lieu of closing
                the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in
                advance a date as the record date for any such determination
                of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than
                fifty (50) days and, in the case of a meeting of
                shareholders, not less than ten (10) days (or, in the case of
                a determination of shareholders eligible to vote at a special
                meeting of shareholders called by the shareholders, not more 
                than seventy-five (75) days) prior to the date on which the
                particular action, requiring such determination of
                shareholders is to be taken.  If the stock transfer books are
                not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination
                of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
                of the shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive 
                payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting
                is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of
                Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may
                be, shall be the record date for such determination of
                shareholders.  When a determination of shareholders entitled
                to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as
                provided in this section, such determination shall apply to
                any adjournment thereof, except where the determination has
                been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and
                the stated period of closing has expired.


SECTION 2.6:    VOTING LISTS

                The officer or agent having charge of the stock ledger for
                shares of the corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days
                before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the
                shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any
                adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the
                address and the number of shares held by each, which list,
                for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be
                kept on file at the principal office of the corporation

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
                in this state and shall be subject to inspection by any
                shareholder at any time during usual business hours.  Such
                list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and
                place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection
                of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.  The
                original stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are
                the shareholders entitled to examine such list or stock ledger
                or books of the corporation or to vote in person or by proxy
                at any meeting of shareholders.


SECTION 2.7:    QUORUM

                A majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation
                entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
                constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.  If less
                than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at
                a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may
                adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. 
                At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present 
                or represented, any business may be transacted which might
                have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. 
                The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may
                continue to transact business until adjournment,
                notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to
                leave less than a quorum.


SECTION 2.8:    PROXIES

                At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by
                proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his/her
                duly authorized attorney in fact.  Such proxy shall be filed
                with the Secretary of the corporation before or at the time
                of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11)
                months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
                provided in the proxy.


SECTION 2.9:    VOTING OF SHARES

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
                Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to
                one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a
                meeting of the shareholders.


SECTION 2.10:   VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS

                Except as provided in this paragraph, shares standing in the
                name of another corporation may be voted by such officer,
                agent, or proxy, as the by-laws of such corporation may
                prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board
                of Directors of such corporation may determine.  Shares
                belonging to another corporation, if a majority of the shares
                entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other 
                corporation is held by the corporation, shall not be voted at
                any meeting or counted in determining the total number of
                outstanding shares at any given time; provided, however, that
                nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the
                right of any such other corporation to vote stock of the
                corporation held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

                Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or
                conservator may be voted by him/her, either in person or by
                proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his/her name. 
                Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by
                him/her, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall
                be entitled to vote shares held by him/her without a transfer
                of such shares into his/her name.

                Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such 
                receiver, and shares held or under the control of a receiver
                may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof
                into his/her name if authority so to do be contained in an
                appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
                appointed.

                A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to
                vote such shares unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the
                books of the corporation the pledgor has expressly empowered
                the pledgee to 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
                vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his/her
                proxy, may represent such shares and vote thereon. Treasury
                shares shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any 
                meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the presence
                of a quorum.


SECTION 2.11:   INSPECTORS

                Prior to any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors
                or the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint one or more
                inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report
                and may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors
                to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector
                or alternate is able to act at the meeting of shareholders,
                the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more
                inspectors to act at the meeting.  Inspectors may, but are not 
                required to be, employees of the corporation or of its
                subsidiaries.  Each inspector, before entering upon the
                discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath
                faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict
                impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

                The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares
                outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the
                shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies
                and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and
                retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of
                any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors
                and certify their determination of the number of shares 
                represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and
                ballots.  The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons
                or entities to assist them in the performance of their
                duties.

                The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for
                each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a
                meeting shall be announced at the meeting.  No ballot, proxy,
                or vote, nor

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
                any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by
                the inspectors after the closing of the polls.

                In determining the validity and counting of proxies and
                ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of
                the proxies, any envelopes submitted therewith, any
                information provided by a shareholder who submits a proxy by
                telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission from
                which it can be determined that the proxy was authorized by
                the shareholder, ballots, and the regular books and records
                of the corporation, and they may also consider other reliable 
                information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and
                ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their
                nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than
                the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to
                cast or more votes than the shareholder holds of record.  If
                the inspectors consider other reliable information for such
                purpose, they shall, at the time they make their 
                certification, specify the precise information considered by
                them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained
                the information, when the information was obtained, the means
                by which the information was obtained and the basis for the
                inspectors' belief that such information is accurate and
                reliable.

                to an individual of any provision of this paragraph may be
                waived by the Board of Directors.  Any such waiver shall only
                be effective on a year-to-year basis.

                such notice need be given as such officer or directors shall
                direct.  Any director may waive notice of any meeting.  The
                attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a
                waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director 
                attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the 
                transaction of any business because the meeting is not

                       AIA Document A111 (1987 Edition)

                   Standard Form of Agreement between Owner
                        and Contractor (Infrastructure)

     THIS AGREEMENT is executed on _________ _____, 1994 but shall be effective 
for all purposes as of August 2, 1993 by and between AmSouth Bank N.A., a 
national banking association ("Owner"), P.O. Box 11007, Burmingham, Alabama 
35288 and Brasfield & Gorrie, General Contractor, Inc. ("Contractor"), a 
Delaware Corporation, 729 South 30th Street, Burmingham, Alabama 35233.

                                  Background

     The Owner and Contractor entered into that certain Standard Form of 
Agreement between Owner and Contractor dated as of August 2, 1993 (the "Original
Agreement") which provided for the construction of both the buildings and the 
infrastructure associated with the buildings in the AmSouth Riverchase 
Administrative Offices and Training Facility located on approximately 
ninety-three (93) acres of land in Riverchase in Hoover, Alabama. After some of 
the construction had been done, AmSouth entered into an agreement to sell the 
buildings to Sun Riverchase Limited Partnership ("Sun Riverchase").

     In connection with that sale, the parties agreed that the Owner would 
assign the Original Agreement to Sun Riverchase insofar as it governs and 
provides for the construction of the buildings. The portion of the Original 
Agreement that governs and provides for the construction of the infrastructure 
will not be assigned, but will remain in effect between the Owner and the 
contractor. In order to accomplish this, the Owner and the Contractor have 
agreed to divide the Original Agreement into two (2) agreements. This Agreement 
governs and provides for the construction of the infrastructure. 
Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Owner and the 
Contractor are entering into that certain Standard Form of Agreement Between 
Owner and Contractor (Buildings) (the "Buildings Agreement") that governs and 
provides for the construction of the buildings. Also contemporaneously with the 
execution of this Agreement, Sun Riverchase and the Owner have entered into that
certain Construction Agreement (the "Construction Agreement"), which provides 
for the administration of the Buildings Agreement by the Owner.

                                   Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, 
sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the 
Contractor hereby agree as follows:

adequate supply of workers and materials; and to perform the Work in the best
way and most expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interests of
the Owner. The Owner agrees to exercise best efforts to enable the Contractor
to perform the Work in the best way and most expeditious manner by furnishing
and approving in a timely way information required by the Contractor and making
payments to the Contractor in accordance with requirements of the Contract
Documents.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                   ---------

                DATE OF COMMENCEMENT AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

4.1       The date of commencement is the date from which the Contract Time of
Subparagraph 4.2 is measured; it shall be the date of this Agreement, as first
written above, unless a different date is stated below or provision is made for
the date to be fixed in a notice to proceed issued by the Owner.
<PAGE>
                                 
(Insert the date of commencement, if it differs from the date of this Agreement
or, if applicable, state that the date will be fixed in a notice to proceed.)

The date of commencement shall be the date so designated in a notice to proceed
issued by the Owner, which date must be on or after the date on which a building
permit for the Project has been issued by the City of Hoover.  Unless the date
of commencement is established by a notice to proceed issued by the Owner, the
Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing not less than five days before
commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages, mechanic's liens
and other security interests.

4.2       The contractor shall achieve Substantial Completion of the entire Work
not later than a date to be agreed upon by the Owner and Contractor at a later
date, subject to adjustments of this Contract Time as provided in the Contract
Documents. The Contractor agrees that the infrastructure work must be 
sufficiently complete so that at least 105,000 square feet of usable space on
three contiguous floors (the "Space") may be substantially complete and in time
for the Owner's employees to fully occupy the Space and conduct business therein
on June 1, 1995.

(Insert the calendar date or number of calendar days after the date of
commencement.  Also insert any requirements for earlier Substantial Completion
of certain portions of the Work, if not stated elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.)

(Insert provisions, if any, for liquidated damages relating to failure to
complete on time.)

The Contractor acknowledges that the Owner will need to begin moving into the
Space and otherwise preparing the Space for occupancy as administrative offices
prior to June 1 so that the Owner can fully conduct its business therein on and
after June 1, and the Contractor will cooperate with and assist the Owner in so
doing. The Owner agrees that the Space may be located on the top three floors of
the North administrative office building.

6.1.1     Adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price on account of changes in
the Work may be determined by any of the methods listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3 of
the General Conditions.

6.1.2     In calculating adjustments to subcontracts (except those awarded with
the Owner's prior consent on the basis of cost plus a fee), the terms "cost" and
"fee" as used in Clause 7.3.3.3 of the General Conditions and the terms "costs"
and "a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" as used in subparagraph
7.3.6 of the General Conditions shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
General Conditions and shall not be modified by Articles 5.7 and 8 of this
Agreement.  Adjustments to subcontracts awarded with the Owner's prior consent
on the basis of cost plus a fee shall be calculated in accordance with the terms
of those subcontracts.

6.1.3     In calculating adjustments to this Contract, the terms "cost" and
"costs" as used in the above-referenced provisions of the General Conditions
shall mean the Cost of the Work as defined in Article 7 of this Agreement and
the terms "fee" and "a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" shall mean
the Contractor's Fee as defined in Paragraph 5.1 of this Agreement.

changes in the Work shall become part of the cost of the Work, and the
Contractor's Fee shall be adjusted as provided in Paragraph 5.1.

6.3       ALL CONTRACTS

6.3.1     If no specific provision is made in Paragraph 5.1 for adjustment of
the Contractor's Fee in the case of changes in the Work, or if the extent of
such changes is such, in the aggregate, that application of the adjustment
provisions of Paragraph 5.1 will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or
Contractor, the Contractor's Fee shall be equitably adjusted on the basis of the
Fee established for the original Work.

10.1      Those portions of the Work that the Contractor does not customarily
perform with the Contractor's own personnel shall be performed under
subcontracts or by other appropriate agreements with the Contractor.  The
Contractor shall obtain bids from Subcontractors and from suppliers of materials
or equipment fabricated especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to
the Architect.  The Owner will then determine, with the advice of the Contractor
and subject to the reasonable objection of the Architect, which bids will be
accepted.  The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the
Contractor shall obtain bids; however, if a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been
established, the Owner may not prohibit the Contractor from obtaining bids from
others.  The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom
the Contractor has reasonable objection.

10.2      If a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established and a specific
bidder among those whose bids are delivered by the Contractor to the Architect
(1) is recommended to the Owner by the Contractor; (2) is qualified to perform
that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid which conforms to the
requirements of the Contract Documents without reservations or exceptions, but
the Owner requires that another bid be accepted; then the Contractor may require
that a Change Order be issued to adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the
difference between the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by
the Contractor and the amount of the subcontract or other agreement actually
signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner.

10.3      Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the payment
provisions of Paragraphs 12.7 and 12.8, and shall not be awarded on the basis of
cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

12.1      Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the
Contractor and Statements for Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall
make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the Contractor as
provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

12.2      The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one
calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:

12.3      Provided an Application for Payment is received by the Architect not
later than the fifteenth (15th) day of a month, the Owner shall make payment to
the Contractor not later than the first (1st) day of the following month.  If an
Application for Payment is received by the Architect after the application date
fixed above, payment shall be made by the Owner not later than ten (10) days
after the Architect receives the Application for Payment.
  
12.4      With each Application for Payment the Contractor shall submit
payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check
vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to
demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of
the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by
the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the
Contractor's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present
Application for Payment; plus (4) retainage provided in Subparagraph 12.5.4, if
any, applicable to prior progress payments.

12.5      CONTRACTS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

12.5.1    Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent
schedule of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract
Documents.  The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum
Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor's Fee
shall be shown as a single separate item.  The schedule of values shall be
prepared in such form and

<PAGE>
 
supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may
require.  This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect, shall be used as a
basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

12.5.2    Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for
Payment.  The percentage completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of
that portion of the Work which has actually been completed or (2) the percentage
obtained by dividing (a) the expense which has actually been incurred by the
Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has
made or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment
by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of
the Work in the schedule of values.

12.5.3    Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of
each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

12.5.3.1  Take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable
to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to
that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.  Pending final determination
of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be
included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions, even
though the Guaranteed Maximum Price has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.5.3.2  Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.

12.5.3.3  Add the Contractor's Fee, less retainage of two percent (2%).  The 
Contractor's Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the 
two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if the
Contractor's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph, shall be an amount
which bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work in the
two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the
Work upon its completion.

12.5.3.4  Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner, and the
aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which were purchased on behalf of
the Owner by the Contactor or a Subcontractor, as Agent of the Owner, and for
which the Owner paid the vendor thereof directly.

12.5.3.5  Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the
documentation required by Paragraph 12.4 to substantiate prior Applications for
Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner's
accountants in such documentation.
<PAGE>

12.5.3.6  Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5 of the General
Conditions.

12.5.4    Additional retainage, if any, shall be as follows:
(If it is intended to retain additional amounts from progress payments to the
Contractor beyond (1) the retainage from the Contractor's Fee provided in Clause
12.5.3.3.(2) the retainage from Subcontractors provided in Paragraph 12.7 below,
and (3) the retainage, if any, provided by other provisions of the Contract,
insert provision for such additional retainage here.  Such provision, if made,
should also describe any arrangement for limiting or reducing the amount
retained after the Work reaches a certain state of completion.)
See Subparagrah 9.8.3 of the General Conditions for the amount to be withheld by
the Owner from the payment due the Contractor upon Substantial Completion.

12.7      Except with the Owner's prior approval, payments to Subcontractors
included in the Contractor's Applications for Payment shall not exceed an amount
for each Subcontractor calculated as follows:

12.7.1    Take that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Subcontractor's Work by the share of the total Subcontract Sum
allocated to that portion in the Subcontractor's schedule of values, less
retainage of ten percent (10%).*  Pending final determination of amounts to be
paid to the Subcontractor for changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be
included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions even though
the Subcontract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.7.2    Add that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing, less retainage of ten
percent (10%).*

12.7.3    Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Contractor to
the Subcontractor and the aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which
were purchased on behalf of the Owner by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, as
Agent of the Owner, and for which the Owner paid the Vendor thereof directly.

12.7.4    Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment by the Owner to the Contractor for reasons
which are the fault of the Subcontractor.

12.7.5    Add, upon Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the Contractor,
a sum sufficient to increase the total payments to the Subcontractor to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Subcontract Sum, less amounts, if any, for
incomplete Work and unsettled claims; and, if final completion of the entire
Work is thereafter materially delayed

<PAGE>
 
through no fault of the Subcontractor, add any additional amounts payable on
account of Work of the Subcontractor in accordance with Subparagraph 9.10.3 of
the General Conditions.

(If it is intended, prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the
Contractor, to reduce or limit the retainage from Subcontractors resulting from
the percentages inserted in Subparagraphs 12.7.1 and 12.7.2 above, and this is
not explained elsewhere in the Contract Documents, insert here provisions for
such reduction or limitation.)

          *The retainage withheld from Subcontractors with subcontracts 
providing for payment of costs plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum price shall
be Two percent (2%).

          If recommended by the General Contractor, retainage will not be
withheld after Subcontractors' work is fifty percent.  (50%) complete.


The Subcontract Sum is the total amount stipulated in the subcontract to be paid
by the Contractor to the Subcontractor for the Subcontractor's performance of
the subcontract.

12.8      Except with the Owner's prior approval, the Contractor shall not make
advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not been
delivered and stored at the site.

12.9      In taking action on the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the
Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the
information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed to represent
that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic
verification of the documentation submitted in accordance with Paragraph 12.4 or
other supporting data; that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections or that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how
or for what purposes the Contractor has used amounts previously paid on account
of the Contract.  Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by
the Owner, will be performed by the Owner's accountants acting in the sole
interest of the Owner.

                                 FINAL PAYMENT

13.1      Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when (1)
the Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor except for the
Contractor's responsibility to correct defective or nonconforming Work, as
provided in Subparagraph 12.2.2 of the General Conditions, and to satisfy other
requirements, if any, which necessarily survive final payment; (2) a final
Application for Payment and a final accounting for the Cost of the Work have
been submitted by the Contractor and reviewed by the Owner's accountants; and
(3) a final Statement for Payment has then been issued by the Architect as
provided in Subparagraph 9.10.1 of the General Conditions; such final payment
shall be made by the Owner not more than 30 days after the issuance of the
Architect's final Statement for Payment, or as follows:
<PAGE>
 
13.2      The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:

13.2.1    Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Contractor's
final accounting and the Contractor's Fee; but not more than the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, if any.

13.2.2    Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole
or in part, a final Certificate for Payment as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of
the General Conditions or other provisions of the Contract Documents.

13.2.3    Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner and the
aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which were purchased on behalf of
the Owner by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, as Agent of the Owner, and for
which the Owner paid the Vendor thereof directly.

If the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount due
the Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the difference to the Owner.

13.3      The Owner's accountants will review and report in writing on the
Contractor's final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final
accounting to the Architect by the Contractor.  Based upon such Cost of the Work
as the Owner's accountants report to be substantiated by the Contractor's  final
accounting, and provided the other conditions of Paragraph 13.1 have been met,
the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the
Owner's accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Statement for Payment
with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of
the Architect's reasons for withholding a Statement as provided in Subparagraph
9.5.1 of the General Conditions.  The time periods stated in this Paragraph 13.3
supersede those stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of the General Conditions.

13.4      If the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the Work as
substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting to be less than claimed by
the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to demand arbitration of the
disputed amount without a further decision of the Architect.  Such demand for
arbitration shall be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the
Contractor's receipt of a copy of the Architect's final Statement for Payment: 
failure to demand arbitration within this 30-day period shall result in the
substantiated amount reported by the Owner's accountants becoming binding on the
Contractor.  Pending a final resolution by arbitration, the Owner shall pay the
Contractor the amount certified in the Architect's final Statement for Payment.

13.5      If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request, the
Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article 8 to
correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the
Contractor such costs and the Contractor's Fee applicable thereto on the same
basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in
excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any.  If the Contractor has
participated in savings as provided in Paragraph 5.2, the amount of such

<PAGE>

savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in
determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.

                           AIA Document A111 (1987 Edition)

                   Standard Form of Agreement between Owner
                          and Contractor (Buildings)

     THIS AGREEMENT is executed on _______________ ___, 1994 but shall be 
effective for all purposes as of August 2, 1993 by and between AmSouth 
Bank N.A., a national banking association ("Owner"), P. O. Box 11007, 
Birmingham, Alabama 35288 and Brasfield & Gorrie, General Contractor, Inc. 
("Contractor"), a Delaware Corporation, 729 South 30th Street, Birmingham, 
Alabama 35233.

                                  Background

     The Owner and Contractor entered into that certain Standard Form of 
Agreement Between Owner and contractor dated as of August 2, 1993 (the "Original
Agreement") which provided for the construction of both the buildings and the 
infrastructure associated with the buildings in the AmSouth Riverchase 
Administrative Offices and Training Facility located on approximately 
ninety-three (93) acres of land in Riverchase in Hoover, Alabama.  After some of
the construction had been done, AmSouth entered into an agreement to sell the 
buildings to Sun Riverchase Limited Partnership ("Sun Riverchase").

     In connection with that sale, the parties agreed that the Owner would 
assign the Original Agreement to Sun Riverchase insofar as it governs and 
provides for the construction of the buildings.  The portion of the Original 
Agreement that governs and provides for the construction of the infrastructure 
will not be assigned, but will remain in effect between the Owner and the 
Contractor.  In order to accomplish this, the Owner and the Contractor have 
agreed to divide the Original Agreement into two (2) agreements.  This Agreement
governs and provides for the construction of the buildings.  Contemporaneously 
with the execution of this Agreement, the Owner and the Contractor are entering 
into that certain Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor 
(Infrastructure) that governs and provides for the construction of the 
infrastructure.

                                   Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, 
sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the 
Contractor hereby agree as follows:

furthering the interests of the Owner; to furnish efficient business
administration and supervision; to make best efforts to furnish at all times an
adequate supply of workers and materials; and to perform the Work in the best
way and most expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interests of
the Owner. The Owner agrees to exercise best efforts to enable the Contractor
to perform the Work in the best way and most expeditious manner by furnishing
and approving in a timely way information required by the Contractor and making
payments to the Contractor in accordance with requirements of the Contract
Documents.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                   ---------

                DATE OF COMMENCEMENT AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

4.1       The date of commencement is the date from which the Contract Time of
Subparagraph 4.2 is measured; it shall be the date of this Agreement, as first
written above, unless a different date is stated below or provision is made for
the date to be fixed in a notice to proceed issued by the Owner.
<PAGE>
                                 
(Insert the date of commencement, if it differs from the date of this Agreement
or, if applicable, state that the date will be fixed in a notice to proceed.)

The date of commencement shall be the date so designated in a notice to proceed
issued by the Owner, which date must be on or after the date on which a building
permit for the Project has been issued by the City of Hoover.  Unless the date
of commencement is established by a notice to proceed issued by the Owner, the
Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing not less than five days before
commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages, mechanic's liens
and other security interests.

not later than a date to be agreed upon by the Owner and Contractor at a later
date, subject to adjustments of this Contract Time as provided in the Contract

space on three contiguous floors (the "Space") must be substantially complete 
in time for the Owner's employees to fully occupy the Space and conduct 
business therein on June 1, 1995.

(Insert the calendar date or number of calendar days after the date of
commencement.  Also insert any requirements for earlier Substantial Completion
of certain portions of the Work, if not stated elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.)

(Insert provisions, if any, for liquidated damages relating to failure to

The Contractor acknowledges that the Owner will need to begin moving into the
Space and otherwise preparing the Space for occupancy as administrative offices
prior to June 1 so that the Owner can fully conduct its business therein on
and after June 1, and the Contractor will cooperate with and assist the
Owner in so doing.  The Owner agrees that the Space may be located on the top
three floors of the North administrative office building.


                                   ARTICLE 5
                                   ---------

                                 CONTRACT SUM

Guaranteed Maximum Price.  Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price
to be exceeded shall be paid by the Contractor without reimbursement by the
Owner.

5.2.2     The Guaranteed Maximum Price is based upon the following alternates,
if any, which are described in the Contract Documents and are hereby accepted by
the Owner:

(State the numbers or other identification of accepted alternates, but only if a
Guaranteed Maximum Price is inserted in Subparagraph 5.2.1.  If decisions on

                              CHANGES IN THE WORK

6.1       CONTRACTS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

6.1.1     Adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price on account of changes in
the Work may be determined by any of the methods listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3 of
the General Conditions.

6.1.2     In calculating adjustments to subcontracts (except those awarded with
the Owner's prior consent on the basis of cost plus a fee), the terms "cost" and
"fee" as used in Clause 7.3.3.3 of the General Conditions and the terms "costs"
and "a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" as used in subparagraph
7.3.6 of the General Conditions shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
General Conditions and shall not be modified by Articles 5, 7 and 8 of this
Agreement.  Adjustments to subcontracts awarded with the Owner's prior consent
on the basis of cost plus a fee shall be calculated in accordance with the terms
of those subcontracts.

6.1.3     In calculating adjustments to this Contract, the terms "cost" and
"costs" as used in the above-referenced provisions of the General Conditions
shall mean the Cost of the Work as defined in Article 7 of this Agreement and
the terms "fee" and "a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" shall mean
the Contractor's Fee as defined in Paragraph 5.1 of this Agreement.
<PAGE>

6.2       CONTRACTS WITHOUT A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

6.2.1     Increased costs for the items set forth in Article 7 which result from
changes in the Work shall become part of the cost of the Work, and the
Contractor's Fee shall be adjusted as provided in Paragraph 5.1.

6.3       ALL CONTRACTS

6.3.1     If no specific provision is made in Paragraph 5.1 for adjustment of
the Contractor's Fee in the case of changes in the Work, or if the extent of
such changes is such, in the aggregate, that application of the adjustment
provisions of Paragraph 5.1 will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or
Contractor, the Contractor's Fee shall be equitably adjusted on the basis of the
Fee established for the original Work.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                   ---------

                       SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

10.1      Those portions of the Work that the Contractor does not customarily
perform with the Contractor's own personnel shall be performed under
subcontracts or by other appropriate agreements with the Contractor.  The
Contractor shall obtain bids from Subcontractors and from suppliers of materials
or equipment fabricated especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to
the Architect.  The Owner will then determine, with the advice of the Contractor
and subject to the reasonable objection of the Architect, which bids will be
accepted.  The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the
Contractor shall obtain bids; however, if a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been
established, the Owner may not prohibit the Contractor from obtaining bids from
others.  The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom
the Contractor has reasonable objection.

10.2      If a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established and a specific
bidder among those whose bids are delivered by the Contractor to the Architect
(1) is recommended to the Owner by the Contractor; (2) is qualified to perform
that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid which conforms to the
requirements of the Contract Documents without reservations or exceptions, but
the Owner requires that another bid be accepted; then the Contractor may require
that a Change Order be issued to adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the
difference between the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by
the Contractor and the amount of the subcontract or other agreement actually
signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner.

10.3      Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the payment
provisions of Paragraphs 12.7 and 12.8, and shall not be awarded on the basis of
cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

Contract; the accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner.
The Owner and the
<PAGE>
 
Owner's accountants shall be afforded access to the Contractor's records, books,

such longer period as may be required by law.

                               PROGRESS PAYMENTS

12.1      Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the
Contractor and Statements for Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall
make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the Contractor as
provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

12.2      The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one
calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:

12.3      Provided an Application for Payment is received by the Architect not
later than the 13th day of a month, the Owner shall make payment to the
Contractor not later than the 2nd day of the following month. If an Application
for Payment is received by the Architect after the application date fixed above,
payment shall be made by the Owner not later than 15 days after the Architect
receives the Application for Payment.
  
12.4      With each Application for Payment the Contractor shall submit
payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check
vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to
demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of
the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by
the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the
Contractor's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present
Application for Payment; plus (4) retainage provided in Subparagraph 12.5.4, if
any, applicable to prior progress payments.

12.5      CONTRACTS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

12.5.1    Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent
schedule of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract
Documents.  The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum
Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor's Fee
shall be shown as a single separate item.  The schedule of values shall be
prepared in such form and

<PAGE>
 
supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may
require.  This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect, shall be used as a
basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

12.5.2    Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for
Payment.  The percentage completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of
that portion of the Work which has actually been completed or (2) the percentage
obtained by dividing (a) the expense which has actually been incurred by the
Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has
made or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment
by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of
the Work in the schedule of values.

12.5.3    Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of
each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

12.5.3.1  Take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable
to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to
that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.  Pending final determination
of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be
included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions, even
though the Guaranteed Maximum Price has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.5.3.2  Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.

12.5.3.3  Add the Contractor's Fee, less retainage of two percent (2%).  The 
Contractor's Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the
two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if the
Contractor's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph, shall be an amount
which bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work in the
two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the
Work upon its completion.

12.5.3.4  Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner, and the
aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which were purchased on behalf of
the Owner by the Contactor or a Subcontractor, as Agent of the Owner, and for
which the Owner paid the vendor thereof directly.

12.5.3.5  Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the
documentation required by Paragraph 12.4 to substantiate prior Applications for
Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner's
accountants in such documentation.
<PAGE>

12.5.3.6  Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5 of the General
Conditions.

12.5.4    Additional retainage, if any, shall be as follows:
(If it is intended to retain additional amounts from progress payments to the
Contractor beyond (1) the retainage from the Contractor's Fee provided in Clause
12.5.3.3.(2) the retainage from Subcontractors provided in Paragraph 12.7 below,
and (3) the retainage, if any, provided by other provisions of the Contract,
insert provision for such additional retainage here.  Such provision, if made,
should also describe any arrangement for limiting or reducing the amount
retained after the Work reaches a certain state of completion.)
See Subparagrah 9.8.3 of the General Conditions for the amount to be withheld by
the Owner from the payment due the Contractor upon Substantial Completion.

12.7      Except with the Owner's prior approval, payments to Subcontractors
included in the Contractor's Applications for Payment shall not exceed an amount
for each Subcontractor calculated as follows:

12.7.1    Take that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Subcontractor's Work by the share of the total Subcontract Sum
allocated to that portion in the Subcontractor's schedule of values, less
retainage of ten percent (10%).*  Pending final determination of amounts to be
paid to the Subcontractor for changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be
included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions even though
the Subcontract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.7.2    Add that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing, less retainage of ten
percent (10%).*

12.7.3    Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Contractor to
the Subcontractor and the aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which
were purchased on behalf of the Owner by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, as
Agent of the Owner, and for which the Owner paid the Vendor thereof directly.

12.7.4    Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment by the Owner to the Contractor for reasons
which are the fault of the Subcontractor.

12.7.5    Add, upon Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the Contractor,
a sum sufficient to increase the total payments to the Subcontractor to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Subcontract Sum, less amounts, if any, for
incomplete Work and unsettled claims; and, if final completion of the entire
Work is thereafter materially delayed
<PAGE>
 
through no fault of the Subcontractor, add any additional amounts payable on
account of Work of the Subcontractor in accordance with Subparagraph 9.10.3 of
the General Conditions.

(If it is intended, prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the
Contractor, to reduce or limit the retainage from Subcontractors resulting from
the percentages inserted in Subparagraphs 12.7.1 and 12.7.2 above, and this is
not explained elsewhere in the Contract Documents, insert here provisions  for
such reduction or limitation.)

          *  The retainage withheld from Subcontractors with subcontracts 
providing for payment of costs plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum price shall
be Two percent (2%).

          If recommended by the General Contractor, retainage will not be
withheld after Subcontractors' work is fifty percent.  (50%) complete.

The Subcontract Sum is the total amount stipulated in the subcontract to be paid
by the Contractor to the Subcontractor for the Subcontractor's performance of
the subcontract.

12.8      Except with the Owner's prior approval, the Contractor shall not make
advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not been
delivered and stored at the site.

12.9      In taking action on the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the
Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the
information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed to represent
that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic
verification of the documentation submitted in accordance with Paragraph 12.4 or
other supporting data; that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections or that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how
or for what purposes the Contractor has used amounts previously paid on account
of the Contract.  Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by
the Owner, will be performed by the Owner's accountants acting in the sole
interest of the Owner.

                                 FINAL PAYMENT

13.1      Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when (1)
the Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor except for the
Contractor's responsibility to correct defective or nonconforming Work, as
provided in Subparagraph 12.2.2 of the General Conditions, and to satisfy other
requirements, if any, which necessarily survive final payment; (2) a final
Application for Payment and a final accounting for the Cost of the Work have
been submitted by the Contractor and reviewed by the Owner's accountants; and
(3) a final Statement for Payment has then been issued by the Architect as
provided in Subparagraph 9.10.1 of the General Conditions; such final payment
shall be made by the Owner not more than 30 days after the issuance of the
Architect's final Statement for Payment, or as follows:
<PAGE>
 
13.2      The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:

13.2.1    Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Contractor's
final accounting and the Contractor's Fee; but not more than the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, if any.

13.2.2    Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole
or in part, a final Certificate for Payment as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of
the General Conditions or other provisions of the Contract Documents.

13.2.3    Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner and the
aggregate cost of all materials and equipment which were purchased on behalf of
the Owner by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, as Agent of the Owner, and for
which the Owner paid the Vendor thereof directly.

If the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount due
the Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the difference to the Owner.

13.3      The Owner's accountants will review and report in writing on the
Contractor's final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final
accounting to the Architect by the Contractor.  Based upon such Cost of the Work
as the Owner's accountants report to be substantiated by the Contractor's  final
accounting, and provided the other conditions of Paragraph 13.1 have been met,
the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the
Owner's accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Statement for Payment
with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of
the Architect's reasons for withholding a Statement as provided in Subparagraph
9.5.1 of the General Conditions.  The time periods stated in this Paragraph 13.3
supersede those stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of the General Conditions.

13.4      If the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the Work as
substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting to be less than claimed by
the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to demand arbitration of the
disputed amount without a further decision of the Architect.  Such demand for
arbitration shall be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the
Contractor's receipt of a copy of the Architect's final Statement for Payment: 
failure to demand arbitration within this 30-day period shall result in the
substantiated amount reported by the Owner's accountants becoming binding on the
Contractor.  Pending a final resolution by arbitration, the Owner shall pay the
Contractor the amount certified in the Architect's final Statement for Payment.

13.5      If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request, the
Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article 8 to
correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the
Contractor such costs and the Contractor's Fee applicable thereto on the same
basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in
excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any.  If the Contractor has
participated in savings as provided in Paragraph 5.2, the amount of such
<PAGE>

savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in
determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.

provision as amended or supplemented by other provisions of the Contract
Documents.

14.2      Payments due and unpaid under the Contract shall bear interest from

the legal rate prevailing from time to time at the place where the Project is
located.
(Insert rate of interest agreed upon, if any.)

state and local consumer credit laws and other regulations at the Owner's and
Contractor's principal places of business, the location of the Project and
elsewhere may affect the validity of this provision.  Legal advice should be
obtained with respect to deletions or modifications, and also regarding
requirements such as written disclosure or waivers.)

14.3      Other provisions: The Cost of the Work includes the cost of materials
and equipment which are purchased on behalf of the Owner by the Contractor or a
Subcontractor, as Agent for the Owner, and for which the Owner pays the vendor
thereof directly. To facilitate appropriate accounting for the Project,
Applications for Payment will contain the cost of all such materials and
equipment and will also contain a credit to the Owner for the cost of such
materials and equipment. In no event shall the Contractor or any Subcontractor
be entitled to reimbursement or payment for any such materials or equipment.
