                         FIRST COMMERCIAL CORPORATION
               1987 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
         As Amended May 15, 1990; April 19, 1994 and October 18, 1994


1.  Purpose of Plan
    ---------------
    This Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended as an incentive to
    employees of First Commercial Corporation ("Company") and its affiliates
    or subsidiaries.  Its purposes are to retain employees with a high degree
    of training, experience and ability, to attract new employees whose
    services are considered unusually valuable, to encourage the sense of
    proprietorship of such persons and to stimulate the active interest of
    such persons in the development and financial success of the Company.  It
    is intended that options granted under the Plan will qualify as "incentive
    stock options" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended by the
    Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, and as may be further amended from time
    to time (the "Internal Revenue Code") provided, however, that nonqualified
    stock options may also be granted which do not qualify as incentive stock
    options.


2.  Administration of the Plan
    --------------------------
    (a)  The Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the
         Company ("Compensation Committee"), consisting of four members of the
         Board of Directors who are both "disinterested persons" within the
         meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
         "outside directors" under applicable Treasury Regulations, will
         recommend to the Board of Directors qualified individuals as
         described in Paragraph 3 to participate in the Plan.  The 
         Compensation Committee shall have the power and authority to
         designate the number of shares to be optioned to each participant and
         which participants shall receive options, to interpret the provisions
         of the Plan and to supervise the administration of the Plan.  All
         decisions and selections made by the Compensation Committee pursuant
         to the Plan shall be made by a majority of its members eligible to
         vote on matters affecting the Plan.  For the purposes of the Plan, no
         member of the Board of Directors shall be authorized to vote upon any
         matters concerning the Compensation Committee, who is an executive
         officer or salaried employee of the Company or of any of its
         affiliates or subsidiaries or who has, at any time within one year
         prior to any time when any matter involving the Plan is being acted
         upon by the Compensation Committee, served the Company or any of its
         affiliates or subsidiaries in such a position.  The Compensation
         Committee may from time to time refer matters involving the Plan to
         one or more special constituted subcommittees of its members for
         study, reports and recommendations to be made to the Compensation
         Committee.  Any decision of the Compensation Committee which shall be
         reduced in writing and signed by a majority of its members shall be
         fully effective as if such decision has been made at a duly
         constituted meeting of the Compensation Committee.
<PAGE>
    (b)  Option grants shall be in the absolute discretion of the Compensation
         Committee, and shall be final without approval of the shareholders of
         the Company.  The Board of Directors of the Company shall ratify the
         terms of the option grants.


3.  Eligibility
    -----------
    (a)  The person eligible for participation in the Plan as recipient of
         options shall include only employees of the Company or of any
         affiliates or subsidiaries of the Company (as defined in Section
         425(f) of the Internal Revenue Code) who are executive,
         administrative, professional, or technical personnel and who have the
         principal responsibility, subject to the Board of Directors, for the
         management, direction and financial success of the Company.  An
         employee who owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than
         10% (ten percent) of the total combined voting power or value of all
         classes of stock in the Company or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof
         shall not be eligible to participate in the incentive portion of the
         Plan; however, such employees shall be eligible to participate in the
         nonqualified portion of the Plan.  The Directors of the Company shall
         not be eligible to participate in the Plan as Directors, but
         Directors otherwise qualified shall be eligible to participate.  An
         employee who has been granted an option hereunder may be granted an
         additional option or options if the Compensation Committee shall so
         determine.  In addition, any consultant who spends in excess of 1,000
         hours providing services on behalf of the Company shall be eligible
         to receive nonqualified stock options only.

    (b)  No executive may receive more than 25% of the total number of options
         granted in any single year, nor more than 25% of the total number of
         options granted over the life of the Plan.


4.  Shares Subject to the Plan
    --------------------------
    Subject to the adjustments as provided in Paragraph 9 hereof, there shall
    be subject to the Plan 1,375,596 shares of common stock of the Company par
    value $3.00 per share.  Any or all of the shares subject to the Plan may
    be granted at such time as the Board of Directors may determine.  The
    shares subject to the Plan shall consist of authorized but unissued shares
    or treasury shares held by the Company.  Any of such shares which may
    remain unsold and which are not subject to outstanding options at the
    termination of the Plan shall cease to be subject to the Plan, but until
    termination of the Plan, the Company shall at all times make available a
    sufficient number of shares to meet the requirements of the Plan.  Should
    any option expire or be canceled prior to the exercise in full, the shares
    thereof subject to such options may again be subject to an option under
    the plan.
<PAGE>
5.  Option Price
    ------------
    (a)  The purchase price for each share placed under option pursuant to the
         Plan shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, but shall in
         no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on
         the date the option is granted.

    (b)  The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is
         granted) of stock treated as acquired pursuant to incentive stock
         options which are exercisable for the first time during any calendar
         year (under all incentive stock option plans of the Company or as
         affiliates or subsidiaries thereof) shall not exceed $100,000. 

    (c)  The fair market value of a share at time of grant shall be deemed to
         be (i) the average of the closing bid and ask price as reported by
         the National Association of Securities Dealers Quotation System 
         ("NASDAQ") on that date or (ii) if the stock hereafter becomes listed
         on a stock exchange, the mean between the highest and lowest sales
         price per share of the stock on the principal national securities
         exchanges on which the stock may be listed from time to time on that
         date or, in either case, if there shall have been no sale on that
         date on the last preceding date on which such sale or sales were
         reported on NASDAQ or effected on such exchange.  In the event that
         the method just described for determining the fair market value of
         the shares shall not remain consistent with the provisions of the
         Internal Revenue Code or the regulations of the Secretary of the
         Treasury promulgated thereunder, then the fair market value per share
         shall be determined by such other method consistent with the Internal
         Revenue Code or regulations as the Compensation Committee shall in
         its discretion select and apply at the time of grant of the option
         concerned.


6.  Option Period
    -------------
    (a)  Options granted under this plan shall terminate and be of no force
         and effect with respect to any shares not previously purchased by the
         optionee upon the happening of the first of the following:

      (i)   The expiration of ten (10) years from the date of granting of such
            option, or

      (ii)  The termination of the optionee's employment with the Company for
            any reason, with or without cause, other than by death or
            retirement, or

      (iii) The expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of death of
            the optionee, or

      (iv)  The expiration of three (3) months after the date of retirement of
            the optionee.

    (b)  If a participant leaves the Company to join a competitor, unexercised
         options granted to the participant under the Plan shall be forfeited.
<PAGE>
    (c)  "Employment with the Company" as used in this Plan shall include
         employment with any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company and option
         granted under this Plan shall not be affected by an employee's
         transfer of employment from the Company to an affiliate or
         subsidiary, from an affiliate or subsidiary to the Company or between
         affiliates or subsidiaries.


7.  Terms and Exercise of Options
    -----------------------------
    (a)  The Compensation Committee in granting options hereunder shall have
         discretion to determine the terms on which options shall be
         exercisable, including such provisions as deemed advisable to permit
         qualification as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of
         Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, as the  same may from time
         to time be amended.  Any incentive stock options outstanding under
         the Plan may be amended, if necessary, in order to retain such
         qualification.

    (b)  Options may be exercised solely by the optionee during his lifetime,
         or in the event of his legal incapacity, by his legal representative,
         or after his death, by the person or persons entitled thereto under
         his Will or the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of
         the retirement of an optionee while in the employ of the Company at
         or beyond age 65, or any time after age 62, if the optionee has 10 or
         more years of employment with the Company, any unmatured installments
         of the option shall be accelerated as of the date of retirement and
         the option shall be exercisable in full within three months following
         the date of retirement.  In the event of the death of an optionee
         while in the employ of the Company, any unmatured installments of the
         options shall be accelerated as of the date of death and the option
         shall be exercisable in full within twelve months following the date
         of death.  Options shall terminate and be of no force and effect in
         the event of termination of employment for any reason other than
         retirement or death.  In no event may an option be exercised more
         than ten years after the date of its grant.

    (c)  Options may be exercised, whether in whole or in part, by written
         notification to the Company, accompanied by cash or Cashier's Check
         for the aggregate price of the number of shares being purchased, or
         upon exercising of an option the optionee may, with approval of the
         Compensation Committee, pay for the shares by tendering stock in the
         Company already owned by the optionee, with such stock being valued
         on the date of exercise by application of the method set out in
         Paragraph 5 hereinabove.  An optionee may, with approval of the
         Compensation Committee, also pay for such shares with a combination
         of cash and stock of the Company valued as stated above.

    (d)  Options granted under the Plan which are not incentive stock options
         shall become exercisable at such time as the Compensation Committee
         may, in its discretion, determine, which time may be different from
         those specified in Paragraph 7(a) for incentive stock options.  In
         the event more than $100,000 of stock which is subject to an option
         which would otherwise qualify as an incentive stock option first
         becomes exercisable in a calendar year (under all incentive stock
         option plans of the Company or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof),
         the Compensation Committee may designate the stock that is treated as
         an incentive stock option by issuing a separate stock certificate (or
<PAGE>
         certificates) for $100,000 of stock and identifying such certificate
         (or certificates) as incentive stock option stock in the Company's
         stock transfer records and the balance of the stock shall be treated
         as acquired pursuant to the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.

    (e)  Stock certificates to be issued or transferred pursuant to Options
         granted under this Plan shall have noted thereon that same have been
         issued or transferred pursuant to an option granted under this Plan.
         Additionally, such stock certificates shall bear a restriction that
         in the event a participant leaves the Company to join a competitor,
         any stock purchased six months prior to termination of employment as
         a result of exercise of nonqualified stock options shall be subject
         to an option on behalf of the Company to repurchase such stock at the
         option price for a period of 30 days after such participant's
         termination.


8.  Assignability
    -------------
    Options granted under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by
    the optionee, otherwise than by Will or the laws of descent and
    distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee
    only by the optionee for his individual account or, in the event of
    his legal incapacity, by his legal representatives.  Other than is
    permitted in the preceding sentence, no assignment or transfer of an
    option or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntarily or
    involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the
    purported assignee or transferee, any interest or right therein
    whatsoever, but immediately upon any such purported assignment or
    transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such option shall
    terminate and become of no further effect.


9.  Reorganizations and Recapitalization of the Company
    ---------------------------------------------------
    (a)  The existence of this Plan and options granted hereunder shall not
         affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
         shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
         recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's
         capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of
         the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
         preferred stocks ahead of or affecting the common stock or the rights
         thereof, or the dissolution or the liquidation of the Company, or any
         sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any
         corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
         otherwise.

    (b)  The shares with respect to which options may be granted hereunder are
         shares of the common stock of the Company as presently constituted,
         but if and whenever, prior to the delivery by the Company of all of
         the shares of common stock which are subject to options granted
         hereunder, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of
         shares or other capital readjustments, the payments of a stock
         dividend or other increase or reduction in the number of shares of
         the common stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefor
         in money, services or property, the number of shares of common stock
         available under the Plan and the number of shares of common stock
<PAGE>
         with respect to which options granted hereunder, may thereafter be
         exercised shall (i) in the event of an increase in the number of
         shares, be proportionately increased, and the cash consideration
         payable per share shall be proportionately reduced; and (ii) in the
         event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares, be
         proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration payable per share
         shall be proportionately increased.

    (c)  If the Company is reorganized or merged or consolidated with or sells
         or otherwise disposes of substantially all its assets to another
         corporation or if at least 80% of the outstanding common stock of the
         Company is acquired by another corporation (in exchange for stock or
         other securities of such other corporation) while unexercised options
         remain outstanding under the Plan, there shall be substituted for the
         shares subject to the unexercised portion of such outstanding options
         an appropriate number of shares, if any, of each class of stock or
         other securities of the reorganized, merged, consolidated, or
         acquiring corporation which were distributed or issued to the
         shareholders of the Company in respect of such shares.  In the case
         of any reorganization, merger or consolidation wherein the Company is
         not the surviving corporation, or any sale or distribution of
         substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation
         or the acquisition of at least 80% of the outstanding common stock of
         the Company by another corporation (in exchange for stock or other
         securities of such other corporations) all options granted under the
         plan shall become immediately vested without regard to the
         installment provision set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof provided.

    (d)  In the event there shall be any change of the number of, or kind of,
         issued shares of stock under option, or of any stock or other
         securities into which such stock shall have changed, or for which it
         shall have been exchanged, then if the Compensation Committee shall,
         in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires
         an adjustment in the number, or kind, or option price of shares then
         subject to an option or available for option, such adjustment shall
         be made by the Board of Directors and shall be effective and binding
         for all purposes of the respective Plan.

    and such other Federal or State securities laws as may be applicable.  The
    timing of such registration shall be at the sole discretion of the
    Company.  Until such shares are registered, they shall bear a legend
    restricting the sale of such securities.  The Company shall also from time
    to time take such steps as may be necessary to list the shares issuable
