=======================================================================================
</TABLE>


         Nonperforming loans consist of impaired loans, other nonaccrual
loans, and certain restructured loans.  An impaired loan is a loan that
management believes the contractual amount due probably will not be collected.
Impaired loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status.  Nonaccrual loans
are  loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued due to the 
borrower's financial difficulties.  Management may elect to continue the accrual
of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral  is sufficient
to recover the principal balance and accrued interest.
        Generally, interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to
principal.  Once all principal has been received, additional payments are
recognized as interest income on a cash basis.  Total restructured impaired
loans at June 30, 1996  and 1995, were $279,000 and $365,000, respectively. The
following table presents information concerning impaired loans:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REVIEW
        The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of First Tennessee National Corporation (First
Tennessee) for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996,
compared to the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995.  To
assist the reader in obtaining a better understanding of First Tennessee and
its performance, this discussion should be read in conjunction with First
Tennessee's unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
appearing in this report.  Additional information including the 1995 financial
statements, notes and management's discussion is provided in the 1995 annual
report.

OVERVIEW
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:
         Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1996 was $.63, up 7
percent from last year's second quarter earnings per share of $.59.  Net income
for the second quarter of 1996 was $42.3 million, an increase of 4 percent over
the $40.8 million earned in the second quarter of 1995.  Return on average
assets was 1.34 percent and return on average equity was 19.48 percent for the
second quarter of 1996 compared with 1.48 percent and 20.05 percent,
respectively, for the same period in 1995.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
         For the first six months, net income in 1996 totaled $79.8 million, or
$1.19 per share, compared with $75.4 million, or $1.10 per share, for the same
period in 1995.  Return on average assets for the first half of 1996 was 1.28
percent and return on average equity was 18.37 percent, compared with 1.39
percent and 19.07 percent, respectively, for the same period in 1995.
         Total assets were $13.0 billion and shareholders' equity was $892.3
million at June 30, 1996.

INCOME STATEMENT/BALANCE SHEET DISCUSSION
NONINTEREST INCOME
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:
         Noninterest income, also called fee income, grew 14 percent, or $15.9
million, from the second quarter of 1995, excluding securities gains.
Noninterest income accounted for 53 percent of total revenue in the second
quarter of 1996.  The rise in fee income resulted primarily from increases in
mortgage banking which grew 42 percent, or $18.0 million, as origination volume
increased $1.2 billion to $2.8 billion for the quarter and the servicing
portfolio grew $6.6 billion to $20.5 billion at June 30, 1996.  As a result of
higher interest rates, the growth in fee income was lessened by higher 
secondary marketing losses and price concessions, as well as less gains on
sales of servicing than what was experienced in 1995.  Refinance activity
decreased from 47 percent of total originations in the first quarter of 1996
to 26 percent in the second quarter of 1996.  Refinance activity was 13
percent in the second quarter of 1995.
         Revenues in the bond division were 24 percent, or $5.5 million, lower
in the second quarter of 1996 compared with the same period in 1995.  As a
result of a rising interest rate environment and stronger economic activity,
bank customers experienced increased loan volume thus reducing their investment
requirements and changing their long term investment preferences.  This led to
a change in customer's transaction mix towards shorter-term investments which 
historically have had lower spreads, thus resulting in lower revenues despite 
the increase in securities bought and sold ($48.8 billion in second quarter 
1995 compared with $55.1 billion).
         In credit card and merchant processing, higher transaction volume from
existing customers and an expanded customer base achieved through targeted
marketing efforts led to a 10 percent, or $.9 million, increase in fees
compared with the second quarter of 1995.  As a result of increases in volume,
fee income from deposit transactions and cash management increased 9 percent,
or $1.6 million, for the same period.  Trust services grew 11 percent, or $.9
million, as managed trust assets grew 13 percent from the second quarter of
1995.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
         For the first six months of 1996, noninterest income increased $39.3
million, or 17 percent, over the same period last year excluding

securities gains.  Fee income represented 55 percent of total revenues during
the first six months of both 1995 and 1996.  Mortgage banking fee income grew
33 percent, bond division fee income grew 10 percent, and cardholder and
merchant processing grew 19 percent from the prior year.  Trust services
declined 5 percent; however, this decline includes the impact of an accounting
change that was made in the first quarter of 1995 from cash basis to accrual
basis.  As a result of the decrease in FDIC premiums, fee income from deposit
transactions and cash management was relatively flat from the prior year.

NET INTEREST INCOME
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:
         For the second quarter of 1996, net interest income, on a
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 18 percent, or $17.8 million, over the
second quarter of 1995.  This increase was due to a larger balance sheet with
increased levels of average earnings assets (13 percent) and an 18 basis point
increase in the net interest margin.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
         For the first six months of 1996, net interest income, on a
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 16 percent, or $31.1 million, over the same
period in 1995.
        Net interest income is the amount of income generated by earning
assets reduced by the interest cost of funding those assets.  Net interest
margin is computed by dividing net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent
basis) by average earning assets.  The discussion that follows details changes
in these two components of net interest income.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:
         Total assets at June 30, 1996, were 12 percent, or $1.3 billion,
higher than total assets at June 30, 1995.  Period-end net loans increased 9
percent, or $605.6 million from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996; the mortgage
warehouse increased 50 percent, or $368.0 million; and investment securities
increased 3 percent, or $67.7 million.  The growth in the period-end balance
sheet was partially funded by a 9 percent, or $541.2 million, increase in
interest-bearing core deposits.  The balance sheet growth is attributable
primarily to internal growth and the purchase acquisition of Financial
Investment Corporation (parent company of First National Bank of Springdale in
Springdale, Arkansas, acquired on October 1, 1995, with assets of $349 million
at acquisition).  Excluding this acquisition, net loans grew 7 percent and
interest-bearing core deposits grew 6 percent from June 30, 1995.
         Comparing average balances from second quarter 1995, total assets grew
15 percent, or $1.6 billion; net loans grew 9 percent, or $604.3 million, and
interest-bearing core deposits grew 8 percent, or $485.3 million.  Net
commercial loans grew 7 percent, or $212.0 million, and net consumer loans grew
12 percent, or $271.1 million.  Commercial loans represented 45 percent and
consumer loans represented 35 percent of total loans.  Credit card receivables
grew 13 percent, or $60.9 million, as a result of targeted marketing campaigns.
The permanent mortgage portfolio was relatively flat from the previous year,
and real estate construction grew 24 percent, or $51.8 million. Excluding the
purchase acquisition of Financial Investment Corporation, average net loans
grew 7 percent and average interest-bearing core deposits grew 5 percent from
the second quarter of 1995.
         With the increase in mortgage originations, average mortgage warehouse
loans held for sale increased 125 percent, or $672.5 million, from the second
quarter of 1995.  This growth was funded by an increase of 34 percent, or
$845.2 million, in purchased funds from the second quarter of 1995.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
         Year-to-date average assets increased 15 percent between 1995 and
1996.  In comparing the 1995 and 1996 six month periods, net loans grew 10
percent.  Commercial loans grew 9 percent and consumer loans grew 12 percent
over the same six month period.  This growth was primarily funded with
interest-bearing core deposits, which grew 8 percent.  Credit card receivables
grew 13 percent and mortgage warehouse loans grew 146 percent.  The growth in
the mortgage warehouse was primarily funded by an increase in purchased funds
of 33 percent from the previous year.  Excluding the purchase acquisition of
Financial Investment Corporation, net loans grew 8 percent and interest-bearing
core deposits grew 4 percent for the six month period.

NET INTEREST MARGIN
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:
         The net interest margin (margin) percentage improved from 3.91 for the
second quarter of 1995 to 4.09 for the second quarter of 1996.  As shown in the
Net Interest Margin Computation Table, the net interest spread (the difference
between the yield on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities) increased 34 basis points while the effect of net free funds
decreased 16 basis points. The improvement in the net interest spread reflects
the expiration of the amortization of a basis swap in May 1996, which improved
margin 10 basis points.

===========================================================================
</TABLE>
         The net interest margin is affected by the activity levels of and
related funding for First Tennessee's specialty lines of business, as these
nonbank business lines generally produce lower margins than traditional
retail/commercial banking activities.  Consequently, First Tennessee's
consolidated margin cannot readily be compared to that of other bank holding
companies.
         The mortgage warehouse balance grew almost 125 percent between the
second quarters of 1995 and 1996, adding $9.1 million to net interest income in
1996 compared to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 1995.  Because the
spread between the yields on mortgage loans temporarily in the warehouse and
the related short-term funding rates is significantly less than the comparable
spread earned in the retail/commercial bank, the consolidated margin was
negatively impacted 15 basis points in the second quarter of 1996 compared with
3 basis points in the second quarter of 1995.
         The bond division contributed $.7 million more to net interest income
in the second quarter of 1996 than in the same period in 1995.  With its
strategy to hedge inventory in the cash markets, the bond division also tends
to negatively impact the consolidated net interest margin, since net interest
income is effectively eliminated on these positions.  This negative impact was
10 basis points in the second quarter of 1996, an improvement from the negative
15 basis points impact in the second quarter of 1995.
         The decline in the net interest margin in the other specialty lines
of business, as shown in the Net Interest Margin Composition Table, came from
the decreasing value of customer demand deposits that earn credit to pay for
First Express services and from competitive pricing pressures experienced in
credit card.
         The retail/commercial bank margin improved from 4.04 percent in the
second quarter of 1995 to 4.29 percent in the second quarter of 1996.  With
First Tennessee's existing balance sheet mix and the current interest rate
environment, the retail/commercial bank's margin is expected to remain stable
throughout the balance of 1996, and going forward, the consolidated margin will
improve with the expiration of the basis swap and will continue to be
influenced by the activity levels of the specialty lines of business.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
        Year-to-date net interest margin improved from 3.92 percent to 4.01
percent. This improvement came from the reasons noted above in the quarterly 
comparison discussion.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES/ASSET QUALITY
         The provision for loan losses increased from $3.2 million for the
second quarter of 1995 to $7.6 million for the second quarter of 1996.  The
higher provision reflects a higher level of allowance for loan losses
commensurate with loan growth.  In addition, the level of provision was
increased due to inherent losses reflecting economic trends.  The increase 
in net charge-offs was primarily related to consumer and credit card lending 
as the ratio of net charge-offs to total loans increased to .31 percent for 
the second quarter of 1996 compared with .19 percent from the same period in 
1995.  Although increased from the prior year's low level, credit card net 
charge-offs remain favorable to industry averages.  The increase in 90 day 
past due loans reflects the overall trends in both permanent mortgage and the 
consumer loan delinquencies which are in line with current market trends.   
The allowance for loan losses to loans has remained stable over the past few 
quarters and was 1.56 percent at June 30, 1996, and 1.61 percent at 
June 30, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, First Tennessee had no concentration of 
10 percent or more of total loans in any single industry.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE                         
QUARTERLY COMPARISON:                       
         Total noninterest expense (operating expense) for the second quarter
of 1996 increased 16 percent, or $23.5 million, over the same period in 1995.
Employee compensation, incentives, and benefits (staff expense), the largest
category, increased 14 percent, or $11.4 million.  Staff expense includes
commissions paid in several lines of business, such as the bond division,
mortgage banking, and the venture capital companies.  As the revenues increase
or decrease in these business lines, the commissions change accordingly.
Commissions and incentives in mortgage banking increased 52 percent and
decreased 21 percent in the bond division from the second quarter of 1995.
         With higher origination volume and a larger servicing portfolio,
amortization and hedging of mortgage servicing rights increased $1.9 million.
The increase in advertising and public relations primarily resulted from
targeted marketing expansion in the credit card business line in response to an
increasingly competitive environment.  The decrease in the deposit insurance
premium reflects the cutback in the FDIC premium rate to zero at the beginning
of 1996.  The remaining expense in this category is the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) assessment on deposits that First Tennessee acquired in
1992 and a small FDIC administrative fee.
         Excluding purchase acquisitions since the second quarter of 1995,
operating expense grew 1 percent in the retail/commercial bank and 26 percent
in the specialty lines of business.

YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON:
         For the first six months of 1996, noninterest expense increased 18
percent over the same period last year with the purchase acquisitions and
one-time acquisition costs not materially impacting this increase.  Excluding
purchase acquisitions and one-time acquisition costs, operating expenses grew 1
percent in the retail/commercial bank and 35 percent in the specialty lines of
business for the same reasons noted above.  In addition, during the first
quarter of 1996, mortgage banking recognized approximately $2 million related
to back office consolidation.

CAPITAL
         Shareholders' equity at June 30, 1996, was $892.3 million, an increase
of $65.6 million, or 8 percent, from June 30, 1995.  As a result of stock
repurchased in the latter part of 1995, the period-end equity to assets ratio
declined from 7.12 percent to 6.89 percent (June 1995 to June 1996).  From
time to time, First Tennessee will evaluate the level of capital and take
action designed to generate or use the capital (i.e., acquisitions, stock
buybacks, etc.) to maximize the benefit to shareholders.  At June 30, 1996, the
corporation's Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.78 percent, the Total capital ratio
was 11.66 percent and the Leverage ratio was 6.37 percent.  On June 30, 1996,
First Tennessee's bank subsidiaries had sufficient capital to qualify as
well-capitalized institutions under the regulatory capital standards.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITY
         In the normal course of business, First Tennessee is a party to
financial instruments that are not required to be reflected on a balance sheet.
First Tennessee enters into transactions involving these instruments to meet
the financial needs of its customers and manage its own exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates.  These instruments are categorized into those
"Held or issued for purposes other than broker/dealer operations" and those
"Held or issued for broker/dealer operations" as noted in the Off-Balance Sheet
Financial Instruments table.

a.       By the Board of First Tennessee acting by a quorum consisting
         of Directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding
         upon a finding that:

    (1)  In a suit or proceeding other than by or in the right
         of First Tennessee, the director or officer has acted
         in good faith for a purpose which he has reasonably
         believed to be in the best interest of First Tennessee,
         and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition,
         had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
         was unlawful; or

    (2)  In a suit or proceeding by or in the right of First
         Tennessee, the director or officer has not breached
         his duty to First Tennessee under T.C.A. 48-813; and

    (3)  In the case of any settlement, in addition to the
         appropriate standard of conduct under 3.a. (1) or (2),
         the settlement is in the best interest of First Tennes-
         ee; and if the settlement has been approved by a court,
         that the indemnification would not be inconsistent with
         any condition with respect to indemnification imposed
         by the court in approving the settlement.

b.  If a quorum under 3.a. is not available with due diligence:

    (1)  By the Board of First Tennessee upon the opinion in
         writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification
         is proper in the circumstances because the applicable
         standard of conduct set forth in 3.a.(1), (2) or (3)
         has been met by such director or officer; or

    (2)  By the shareholders of First Tennessee upon finding that
         the director or officer has met the applicable standard
         of conduct set forth in 3.a.(1), (2) or (3).

    4.   A director or officer of First Tennessee shall be deemed
to be serving another corporation or other business entity at the
request of First Tennessee only if such request is reflected in the
records of a committee appointed by the Board of first Tennessee for
the purpose of making such requests.

    5.   Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action,
suit or proceeding may be paid by first Tennessee in advance of the


                                      -16-



<PAGE>   17
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding if authorized
by the procedure established under 3.a. or b. of this bylaw.

     6.  If any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of in-
demnification otherwise than by court order under T.C.A. 48-410 or
action by the shareholders, First Tennessee shall give notice to the
shareholders as provided in T.C.A. 48-411(3).

     7.  Every employee of First Tennessee shall be indemnified by
First Tennessee to the same extent as directors or officers of First
Tennessee.

     8.  a.   The right of indemnification set forth above shall
              not be deemed to restrict any right of indemnifica-
              tion provided to any director, officer or employee of
              First Tennessee or any of its subsidiaries
              pursuant to a contract, agreement or resolution
              executed upon the approval or ratification of the
              Board of First Tennessee acting by a quorum of dis-
              interested directors, provided that any such con-
              tract shall not enlarge the rights of indemnification
              permitted under the Tennessee Central Corporation Act.

         b.   This bylaw shall not be construed to affect or re-
              strict in any manner any right of indemnification
              granted by First Tennessee to persons other than
              directors, officers and employees of First Tennessee
              or any of its subsidiaries.

     9.  a.   No combination of rights shall permit any current or
              former director, officer or employee of First Tennes-
              see to receive a double recovery.

         b.   The right of indemnification provided in this bylaw
              shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors or
              administrators of each such current or former direc-
              tor, officer of employee of First Tennessee and shall or
              in no event be construed to enlarge the rights of
              indemnification permitted under the Tennessee General
              Corporation Act.

                                   RETIREMENT

     1.  Directors.  Any director who shall attain the age of
seventy (70) shall be automatically retired from the Board at
time of the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.  How-
ever, a director may be retired before age seventy (70) as herein-
after provided.

         Any Director who becomes sixty-five prior to December 31;
         1978 or any December 31 thereafter will be retired as of
         the December 31 following his sixty-fifth birthday.

         retirement or otherwise), will be expected to tender their
         resignation from the Board upon such occasion.  The resig-
         nation will ordinarily be accepted unless (a) the Director
         assumes another management position deemed appropriate by
         the Board for continuation, or (b) the Director is so en-
         gaged in some specific project for the Board as to make
         his resignation detrimental to the Corporation.  Under
         this circumstance, the Board may elect to set a subsequent
         date for his retirement timed to coincide with the comple-
         tion of the project.

     (3) Directors who are also Officers of the Corporation shall
         be retired from the Board on the date they retire from or
         otherwise discontinue active service with the Corporation
         or its affiliates.

     Any director of the Corporation who has retired from the Board

Board, the duties of which shall be as specified by such resolutions
as the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt.  Membership
on the Honorary Advisory Board shall continue at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.

attains the age of sixty-five years, his employment by the Corpora-
tion shall automatically be terminated and his salary discontinued
on the first day of the month coincident with or immediately following

discretion, may continue any such officer or employee in service and
designate the capacity in which he shall serve, and shall fix the
remuneration he shall receive. The Board may also re-employ any
former officer who had theretofore been retired.

          mental to the Corporation.  Under this circumstance,
          the Board may elect to set a subsequent date for his
          retirement timed to coincide with the completion

Company is adopted as follows:

         "11. At an annual or special meeting of shareholders,
    only such business shall be conducted, and only such
    proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly
    brought before an annual or special meeting of
    shareholders.  To be properly brought before an annual or
    special meeting of shareholders, business must be (i) in
    the case of a special meeting called by or at the direction
    of the Board of Directors, specified in the notice of the
    special meeting (or any supplement thereto), or (ii) in the
    case of an annual meeting properly brought before the
    meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or
    otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a
    shareholder.  For business to be properly brought before
    such a meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, the
    shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in
    writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely,
    a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and
    received at the principal executive offices of the
    Corporation not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
    prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that

    notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or (ii) the
    day on which such public disclosure was made.  A
    shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to
    each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before a
    meeting of shareholders (i) a brief description of the
    business desired to be brought before the meeting and the
    reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii)
    the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's

    other shareholders known by such shareholder to be
    supporting such proposal, (iii) the class and number of
    shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by
    such shareholder on the date of such shareholder's notice
    and by any other shareholders known by such shareholder to
    be supporting such proposal on the date of such
    shareholder's notice, and (iv) any material interest of the
    shareholder in such proposal.  Notwithstanding anything in
    these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be

   conducted at a meeting of shareholders except in accordance
   with the procedures set forth in this Section 11.  The
   Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
   determine and declare to the meeting that the business was
   not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with
   the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he should
   so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any
   such business not properly brought before the meeting shall
   not be transacted."

   shareholders (i) by or at the direction of the Board, or
   (ii) by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote
   for the election of directors at such meeting who complies
   with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 7.
   Such nominations, other than those made by or at the
   direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely
   notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To
   be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or
   mailed and received at the principal executive offices of
   the Corporation not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
   prior to the date of a meeting; provided, however, that if

   10th day following the earlier of (i) the day on which such
   notice of the date of such meeting was mailed or (ii) the
   day on which such public disclosure was made.  A
   shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i)
   as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
   for election or reelection as a director (a) the name, age,
   business address and residence address of such person. (b)
   the principal occupation or employment of such person, (c)
   the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
   beneficially owned by such person on the date of such

   solicitations of proxies for election of directors or, is
   otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
   under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
   (including, without limitation, such person's written
   consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee
   and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to
   the shareholder giving the notice (a) the name and address,
   as they appear on the Corporation's books; of such
   shareholder and any other shareholders known by such
   shareholder to be supporting such nominees and (b) the
   class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
   beneficially owned by such shareholder on the date of such



<PAGE>   29
   shareholder's notice and by any other shareholders known by
   such shareholder to be supporting such nominees on the date
   of such shareholder's notice.  No person shall be eligible
   for election as a director of the Corporation unless
   nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
   this Section 7.  The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the
   facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a
   nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures
   prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he should so determine,
   he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective
   nomination shall be disregarded."

        Directors who are not also officers of the Corporation

   Directors as follows:

             (1) Any director who shall attain the age of

        last election (by retirement or otherwise) will be
        expected to tender their resignation from the Board

        management position deemed appropriate by the Board
        for continuation, or (b) the director is so engaged in
        some specific project for the Board as to make his or
        her resignation detrimental to the Corporation.  Under
        this circumstance, the Board may elect to set a
        subsequent date for his or her retirement to coincide
        with the completion of the project.

        Directors who are also officers of the Corporation or
   any of its affiliates will be retired from the Board on the
   date they retire from or otherwise discontinue active
   Service with the Corporation and its affiliates.

        All directors of the Corporation who have served until
   retirement, as specified herein, will be asked to serve on
   the Honorary Board of Directors.  Those directors who do
   not serve until retirement but who have served for a
   minimum of 10 years as an active member of the Board and
   who retire in good standing will also be asked to serve.
   Members of the Honorary Board shall have no authority to
   bind the Corporation.  They shall not attend Board meetings
   of the Corporation and Shall not have any authority to vote
   on any matter being considered by the Board.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

      1.  If  any  current  or  former  officer  of  the Corporation
[including for purposes of this Article an individual who, while an
officer, is or was serving another corporation or other enterprise
(including an employee benefit plan) in any capacity at the request
of the Corporation and unless the context requires otherwise the
estate or personal representative of such officer] is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and
whether formal or informal ("Proceeding"), to which he was a party
because he is or was an officer of the Corporation, he shall be
indemnified by the Corporation against all reasonable expenses,
including attorney fees, incurred in connection with such
Proceeding, or any appeal therein.

      2.  If any current or former officer of the Corporation has not
been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
a Proceeding, to which he was or was threatened to be made a party
because he was or is an officer, he shall be indemnified by the
Corporation  against  any judgment, settlement, penalty, fine
(including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee
benefit plan), or other liability and any reasonable expenses,
including attorney fees, incurred as a result of such Proceeding, or
any appeal therein, if authorized in the specific case after a
determination has been made that indemnification is permissible
because the following standard of conduct has been met:

          (1)  He conducted himself in good faith, and

          (2)  He reasonably believed:

               (A)  In the case of conduct in his official capacity
                    as an officer of the Corporation that his conduct
                    was in the Corporation's best interest; and

               (B)  In all other cases that his conduct was at least
                    not opposed to its best interests; and

          (3)  In the case  of any criminal proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
provided, however, the Corporation may not indemnify an officer in
connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation
in which the officer was adjudged liable to the Corporation or in
connection with any other proceeding charging improper benefit to
him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in
which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received by him.

               directors not at the time parties to the Proceeding;

          (3)  By independent special legal counsel;

               (A)  Selected by the Board of Directors or its

                    pursuant to Subsections 1, 2, or 3 of this
                    Section 3 cannot be obtained, then

the Board of Directors for the purpose of making such requests.

      5.  The Corporation shall pay for or reimburse reasonable
expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by an officer who is a

               undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to

            (3) A determination is made that the facts then known to
                those making the determination would not preclude
                indemnification under this bylaw.

       6.  The undertaking required by Section 5 herein must be an
unlimited general obligation of the officer but need not be secured
and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make

officers of the Corporation.

       9.  The right of indemnification set forth above shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an officer, employee,
or former director seeking indemnification may be entitled.  No
combination of rights shall permit any officer, employee or former
director of the Corporation to receive a double or greater recovery.

       10.  The Corporation shall indemnify each of its directors and
such of the non-director officers of the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries as the Board of Directors may designate, and shall
advance expenses, including attorney's fees, to each director and
such designated officers, to the maximum extent permitted (or not
prohibited) by law, and in accordance with the foregoing, the Board
of Directors is expressly authorized to enter into individual
indemnity agreements on behalf of the Corporation with each director
and such designated officers which provide for such indemnification
and expense advancement and to adopt resolutions, which provide for
such indemnification and expense advancement.

                             BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
                      FIRST TENNESSEE NATIONAL CORPORATION
                                 October 20, 1993         

         RESOLVED, that Article XXIX, Section 1, of the Bylaws of the Company
be, and it hereby is, amended be deleting it in its entirety and amending it to
read as follows:

                 Directors who are not also officers of the Corporation or its
         affiliates shall be retired from the Board of Directors as follows:

                          (1)  Any director who shall attain the age of
                 sixty-five (65) on or before the last day of the term for
                 which he or she was elected shall not be nominated for
                 re-election and shall be retired from the Board at the
                 expiration of such term.

                          (2)  For the purpose of maintaining boards of active
                 business and professional persons, directors leaving the
                 occupation or the position held at their last election (by
                 retirement or otherwise) will be expected to tender their
                 resignation from the Board upon such occasion.  A resignation
                 will ordinarily be accepted unless (a) the director assumes
                 another management position deemed appropriate by the Board
                 for continuation, or (b) the director is so engaged in some

                 resignation detrimental to the Corporation.  Under this
                 circumstance, the Board may elect to set a subsequent date for
                 his or her retirement to coincide with the completion of the
                 project.

                 Directors who are also officers of the Corporation or any of
         its affiliates will be retired from the Board on the date they retire
         from or otherwise discontinue active service with the Corporation and
         its affiliates.

                 All directors of the Corporation who have served until
         retirement, as specified herein, will be asked to serve on the
         Honorary Board of Directors.  Those directors who do not serve until
         retirement but who have served for a minimum of 10 years as an active
         member of the Board and who retire in good standing will also be asked
         to serve.  Members of the Honorary Board shall have no authority to
         bind the Bank.  They shall not attend Board meetings of the
         Corporation and shall not have any authority to vote on any matter
