Overview
              The following narrative contains forward-looking statements as
              encouraged by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
              1995. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty
              and any number of factors could cause actual results to differ
              materially from statements contained in this Financial Supplement
              and Form 10-Q. Risks and uncertainties that may affect future
              results include, but are not limited to, growth of the economy,
              interest rate movements, timely development by Wachovia of
              technology enhancements for its products and operating systems,
              the ability of Wachovia and its customers and vendors to address
              effectively Year 2000 issues, the impact of competitive products,
              services and pricing, Congressional legislation and similar
              matters. Management cautions readers of this Financial Supplement
              and Form 10-Q not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
              statements which are subject to influence by the named risk
              factors and unanticipated future events.

              Wachovia Corporation ("the corporation") is a southeastern
              interstate bank holding company with dual headquarters in
              Atlanta, Georgia, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The
              corporation's principal banking subsidiaries are Wachovia Bank,
              N. A., which maintains operations in Georgia, North Carolina,
              South Carolina and Virginia, and The First National Bank of
              Atlanta, which provides credit card services. On April 1, 1998,
              Wachovia Corporation acquired Ameribank Bancshares, Inc., a $280
              million asset Florida bank holding company and parent of American
              Bank of Hollywood, Florida. The acquisition was accounted for as
              a purchase transaction. Subsequent to the acquisition, American
              Bank was merged into 1st United Bank, a former subsidiary of
              Wachovia Corporation. First United Bank, which maintains
              operations in Florida, was merged into Wachovia Bank on July 1,
              1998.

              Wachovia's growth strategies include using acquisitions to gain
              access to additional customers in attractive markets and to
              enhance product and service capabilities. The corporation
              regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities and conducts due
              diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions. As
              a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases,
              negotiations may take place and future acquisitions involving
              cash, debt or equity securities may occur. Acquisitions typically
              involve the payment of a premium over book values, and,
              therefore, some dilution of the corporation's book value and net
              income per share may occur in connection with any future
              transactions.

              The U.S. economy slowed in the second quarter of 1998 as the
              impact of turmoil in Asian markets widened and industrial auto
              production was hampered by strikes. Gross domestic product for
              the period, based on advance estimates, grew at a 1.4 percent
              annualized rate compared with a 5.5 percent growth rate in the
              first quarter based on revised figures. The nation's seasonally
              adjusted unemployment rate dropped in the period to 4.4 percent
              from 4.7 percent in the preceding three months. Business
              conditions within Wachovia's primary operating states remained
              generally strong during the second quarter. Seasonally adjusted
              unemployment for the period averaged 4.6 percent in Florida, 4
              percent in Georgia, 3.3 percent in North Carolina, 3.2 percent in
              South Carolina and 3 percent in Virginia.

              Wachovia reported net income of $209.916 million or $1.00 per
              diluted share for the second quarter of 1998 and $405.237 million
              or $1.93 per diluted share for the first half of the year.
              Results reflected strong revenue growth masked by merger-related
              charges, principally for systems conversions and employee bene-
              fits expenses in Virginia. The net after-tax impact of the
              merger-related charges was $20.360 million or

                                       5
<PAGE>

              $.09 per diluted share for the second period and $43.207 million
              or $.20 per diluted share year to date. Excluding merger-related
              expenses, operating net income totaled $230.276 million or $1.09
              per diluted share for the three months and $448.444 million or
              $2.13 per diluted share for the first six months. Noninterest
              income for the first half of 1998 included branch sale gains of
              $17.155 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter,
              versus gains of $18.659 million in the second quarter of 1997.
              Management anticipates additional integration expenses of
              approximately $10 million for the remainder of 1998, with the
              majority of charges expected to be recognized in the third
              quarter.

              Expanded discussion of the corporation's operating results and
              financial condition is presented in the following narrative with
              accompanying tables. Interest income is stated on a taxable
              equivalent basis, which is adjusted for the tax-favored status of
              earnings from certain loans and securities. References to changes
              in assets and liabilities represent daily average levels unless
              otherwise noted. Prior year financial results have been restated
              to reflect the corporation's pooling-of-interests merger with
              Central Fidelity Banks, Inc., effective December 15, 1997 but
              have not been restated for the corporation's purchase
              acquisitions of Jefferson Bankshares, Inc., and 1st United
              Bancorp in the fourth quarter of 1997 and of Ameribank Bancshares
              in the second quarter of 1998.

Net Interest
Income        Taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of
              1998 rose $67.372 million or 12.8 percent year over year and
              expanded $130.247 million or 12.5 percent for the first six
              months. Gains in both periods were driven by good loan growth and
              improvement in the net yield on interest-earning assets (defined
              as taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of
              average interest-earning assets). Compared with the first quarter
              of 1998, taxable equivalent net interest income was up $13.638
              million or 9.4 percent annualized, reflecting modest growth in
              interest-earning assets and one additional accrual day. The net
              yield on interest-earning assets increased 11 basis points for the
              second period from a year earlier and 9 basis points year to date
              and was unchanged from the first three months of the year.
              Management expects taxable equivalent net interest income to rise
              in the third quarter of 1998 from second quarter's level and the
              net yield on interest-earning assets to moderate, based on
              business trends as of the beginning of the third quarter.

              Taxable equivalent interest income expanded $115.003 million or
              10.8 percent and $240.591 million or 11.5 percent for the second
              period and first half, respectively. Increased loan volume
              primarily fueled the growth, with a higher average rate earned
              also contributing to the rise. Loans advanced $4.874 billion or
              12.5 percent for the three months and $5.198 billion or 13.4
              percent for the first six months, with the average rate earned up
              3 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively. The loan growth
              was attributable partly to the purchase accounting transactions
              consummated in 1997 and 1998. The mix of loans to total interest-
              earning assets rose to 77.6 percent for the second quarter from
              75.8 percent a year earlier and to 77.9 percent for the first
              half versus 75.5 percent in 1997. Compared with the first quarter
              of 1998, taxable equivalent interest income was higher by $22.006
              million or 7.6 percent annualized, largely due to greater volume
              of interest-earning assets.

              Loan growth for both the quarter and first six months occurred
              primarily in the commercial portfolio. Commercial loans,
              including related real estate categories, rose $4.010 billion or
              18.4 percent for the three months from a year earlier and $4.246
              billion or 19.9 percent for the first six months. Taxable
              commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans led
              the gains in both periods, expanding $2.642 billion or 23.5
              percent, $854 million or 14.3 percent and $432 million or 30
              percent, respectively, for the quarter, and $2.839 billion or
              26.1 percent, $913 million or 15.5 percent and $486 million or
              35.3 percent, respectively, for the first half. Good growth also
              occurred in foreign loans, driven, in part, by originations in
              the corporation's London office to companies operating in Europe,
              and in lease financing, which primarily consists of commercial
              leases and other structured corporate transactions. Based on
              regulatory definitions, commercial real estate loans at June 30,
              1998 were $8.632 billion or 19.4 percent of total loans compared
              with $7.557 billion or 18.8 percent of loans one year earlier and
              $8.699 billion or 19.5 percent at March 31, 1998. Regulatory
              definitions for commercial real estate include loans which have
              real estate as the collateral but not the primary consideration
              in a credit risk evaluation. Foreign loans at June 30, 1998 were
              $843 million, representing 1.9 percent of total loans, versus
              $498 million or 1.2 percent of loans one year earlier and $548
              million or 1.2 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1998.
              Foreign loan exposure to Asia was insignificant.

              Consumer loans, including residential mortgages, increased $864
              million or 5 percent for the quarter and $952 million or 5.5
              percent for the first half. Residential mortgages accounted for
              most of the growth, rising $734 million or 10.1 percent for the
              three months and $789 million or 11 percent for the first six
              months including gains in equity bank lines. Good expansion also
              occurred in other revolving credit, while indirect retail loans
              and credit cards were up modestly. Credit card outstandings
              decreased in the second quarter from the first quarter, primarily
              reflecting lower new account openings. Managed credit card
              outstandings at June 30, 1998 were $6.033 billion, representing
              13.4 percent of total managed loans, compared with $6.173 billion
              or 15.1 percent of managed loans one year earlier and $6.103
              billion or 13.6 percent at

              Securities, the second largest category of interest-earning
              assets, were flat with the second quarter of 1997 and moderately
              lower year to date. Compared with the preceding three months,
              securities increased $479 million or 4.5 percent in the second
              quarter, primarily reflecting higher levels of available-for-sale
              mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 1998, securities
              available-for-sale were $9.524 billion and securities
              held-to-maturity were $1.656 billion, as detailed in the following

              Securities held-to-maturity had a fair value of $1.716 billion at
              June 30, 1998, representing a $61 million appreciation over book
              value. Marking the securities available-for-sale portfolio at June
              30, 1998 to fair value resulted in an unrealized gain over
              amortized cost of $121.947 million, pretax, and $74.990 million,
              net of tax. Marking the average available-for-sale portfolio to
              fair value resulted in unrealized gains of $95.969 million,
              pretax, and $62.873 million, net of tax, for the second period and
              $104.919 million, pretax, and $67.408 million, net of tax, year to
              date. Unrealized gains are included, net of tax, in shareholders'
              equity.

              Interest expense for the quarter was up $47.631 million or 8.8
              percent and rose $110.344 million or 10.5 percent for the first
              half. Higher levels of interest-bearing liabilities, principally
              interest-bearing deposits and short-term borrowings, accounted
              for the growth, which was moderated by a lower average rate paid.
              Interest-bearing liabilities rose $4.791 billion or 10.8 percent
              for the three months and $5.134 billion or 11.6 percent for the
              first six months, while the average rate paid decreased 9 basis
              points and 5 basis points, respectively. A portion of the
              increase in interest-bearing liabilities is attributable to the
              effects of

                                       9
<PAGE>
              purchase accounting transactions consummated during 1997 and
              1998. Interest expense increased $8.368 million or 5.8 percent
              annualized from the first quarter of 1998, largely reflecting
              growth in short-term borrowings and a slightly higher average
              rate paid.

              As part of its funding strategy, the corporation is marketing
              traditional funding products while issuing a variety of debt
              instruments. Traditional funding sources are being broadened
              through marketing of the corporation's Premiere and Business
              Premiere accounts, both of which are high-yield money market
              deposit products; the introduction of PC Banking; and significant
              enhancements to the corporation's basic checking products.
              Wholesale funding sources include senior and subordinated debt,
              trust capital securities and a global bank note program.
              Management believes continued flexibility and innovation will be
              required of financial institutions to attract future funding
              through deposit products and alternative sources.

              Interest-bearing deposits increased $2.732 billion or 9.3 percent
              and $3.163 billion or 10.8 percent for the second quarter and
              first half, respectively. Savings and money market savings grew
              $1.287 billion or 12.4 percent for the three months and $732
              million or 7.1 percent for the first six months, driven by gains
              in the corporation's Premiere and Business Premiere accounts,
              while interest-bearing demand deposits expanded $640 million or
              15.8 percent and $1.300 billion or 32.2 percent, respectively.
              Interest-bearing deposits in foreign offices increased $966
              million or 59.2 percent for the quarter and $1.139 billion or
              76.8 percent for the first half, reflecting their attractiveness
              relative to other wholesale funding sources as well as new
              deposit-taking capabilities at the corporation's London office.
              Interest-bearing deposits were slightly lower from the first
              quarter of 1998, reflecting, in part, the full impact in the
              second quarter of the loss of deposits from branches divested in
              Virginia during the first three months of the year. Gross
              deposits averaged $40.121 billion for the three months and
              $39.909 billion for the first six months, up $3.882 billion or
              10.7 percent and $4.053 billion or 11.3 percent, respectively,
              from a year earlier. Collected deposits, net of float, averaged
              $37.855 billion for the second period and $37.640 billion year to
              date, an increase of $3.550 billion or 10.3 percent and $3.712
              billion or 10.9 percent, respectively, from the same periods in
              1997.

              Short-term borrowings increased $2.030 billion or 22.8 percent
              for the three months and $2.134 billion or 24.6 percent for the
              first six months, with all categories of short-term borrowings
              expanding. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under
              repurchase agreements rose $1.343 billion or 21 percent for the
              quarter and $1.091 billion or 16.6 percent for the first half,
              while commercial paper borrowings expanded $475 million or 64.7
              percent and $421 million or 59.5 percent, respectively. Other
              short-term borrowings, primarily consisting of short-term bank
              notes, were higher by $212 million or 11.9 percent for the second
              period and $622 million or 44.9 percent year to date. Short-term
              borrowings grew $312 million or 2.9 percent from the first
              quarter, reflecting increases in commercial paper, and in federal
              funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements.

              Long-term debt for the second quarter was essentially unchanged
              from a year earlier and was modestly lower year to date. Other
              long-term debt, primarily trust capital securities, increased
              $300 million or 9.5 percent for the three months and $263 million
              or 8.7 percent for the first six months, largely offsetting
              declines in medium-term bank notes. Long-term debt remained
              essentially flat with the first quarter of 1998, as expansion in
              other long-term debt was moderated by declines in medium-term
              bank notes. At June 30, 1998, trust capital securities totaled
              $996 million, reflecting issuances in December 1996 and in
              January, April and June 1997. The corporation's trust capital
              securities are rated aa3 by Moody's and A+ by Standard & Poor's
              and qualify as part of Tier I capital under risk-based capital
              guidelines. On July 15, the corporation filed a registration
              statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a shelf
              offering of up to $2.500 billion of debt securities. The
              securities may consist of unsecured senior debt and/or unsecured
              subordinated debt. On July 29, $350 million of 10-year
              subordinated notes was issued as part of the debt securities. The
              notes are rated A1 by Moody's and AA- by Standard & Poor's.

* Interest income and yields are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis
  using the federal income tax rate and state tax rates, as applicable,
  reduced by the nondeductible portion of interest expense. Any variance
  attributable jointly to volume and rate changes is allocated to volume and
  rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the
  change in each.
** Volume amounts are reported at amortized cost; excludes pretax unrealized
   gains of $96 million in 1998 and $28 million in 1997.

              In July 1998, Wachovia Bank increased the amount of its global
              bank note program from $16 billion to $21.557 billion, which
              includes $3.557 billion of notes previously issued under the
              program. The program consists of issuances with original
              maturities beginning at 7 days. Bank notes with original
              maturities of one year or less are included in other short-term
              borrowed funds, and bank notes with original maturities greater
              than one year are classified as medium-term bank notes under
              long-term debt. At June 30, 1998, Wachovia Bank had short-term
              bank notes outstanding of $913 million with an average cost of
              5.55 percent and an average maturity of 3.2 months. Medium-term
              bank notes were $2.461 billion and had an average cost of 5.96
              percent and an average maturity of 2.8 years on the same date.
              Short-term issues under the global bank note program are rated P-1
              by Moody's and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's, while medium-term issues
              are rated Aa2 by Moody's and AA+ by Standard & Poor's.


Asset and Liability
Management,
Interest Rate
Sensitivity
and Liquidity
Management    The income stream of the corporation is subject to risk resulting
              from interest rate fluctuations to the extent there is a
              difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and the
              amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid,
              withdrawn, mature or reprice in specified periods. The goal of
              asset and liability management is to maintain high quality and
              consistent growth of net interest income with acceptable levels of
              risk to changes in interest rates. The corporation seeks to meet
              this goal by influencing the maturity and repricing
              characteristics of the various lending and deposit-taking lines of
              business, by managing discretionary balance sheet asset and
              liability portfolios, and by utilizing off-balance sheet financial
              instruments.

              Interest rate risk management is carried out by Funds Management
              which operates under the policies established by the Finance
              Committee of the corporation's board of directors and the
              guidance of the Management Finance Committee. Rate risk,
              liquidity, capital position and discretionary on- and off-balance
              sheet activity are reviewed quarterly by the Board Finance
              Committee. Interim oversight of the asset and liability
              management function is provided through regular meetings of Funds
              Management managers and the Chief Financial Officer. Funds
              Management personnel carry out day-to-day activity within
              approved risk management guidelines and strategies.

              The corporation uses a number of tools to measure interest rate
              risk, including simulating net interest income under various rate
              scenarios, monitoring the change in present value of the asset
              and liability portfolios under the same rate scenarios and
              monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets
              and liabilities over various time periods. Management believes
              that rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling which
              calculates expected net interest income based on projected
              interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities,
              off-balance sheet financial instruments and interest rates. The
              model projections are based on historical trends and management's
              expectations of balance sheet growth patterns, spreads to market
              rates, and prepayment behavior for assets and liabilities. The
              Management Finance Committee regularly reviews the assumptions
              used in the model.

              The corporation monitors exposure to a gradual change in rates of
              200 basis points up or down over a rolling 12-month period and an
              interest rate shock of an instantaneous change in rates of 200
              basis points up or down over the same period. The corporation's
              policy limit for the maximum negative impact on net interest
              income from a gradual change in interest rates of 200 basis
              points over 12 months is 7.5 percent. Management generally has
              maintained a risk position well within the policy guideline
              level. As of June 30, 1998, the model indicated that a 200 basis
              point gradual rise in rates over 12 months would result in
              approximately a .7 percent decrease in net interest income, while
              a 200 basis point decline in rates over the same period would
              result in essentially no change in net interest income as
              compared with an unchanged rate environment. Actual results will
              differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and
              frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market
              conditions and management strategies, among other factors. The
              corporation maintains trading accounts primarily to facilitate
              customer investment and risk management needs. The market risk
              inherent in these portfolios was immaterial at June 30, 1998.

              In addition to on-balance sheet instruments such as securities
              and purchased funds, the corporation uses off-balance sheet
              derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk, liquidity
              and net interest income. Off-balance sheet instruments include
              interest rate swaps, futures and options with indices that
              directly correlate to on-balance sheet instruments. The
              corporation has used off-balance sheet financial instruments,
              principally interest rate swaps, over a number of years and
              believes their use on a sound basis enhances the effectiveness of
              asset and liability and interest rate sensitivity management.

              Off-balance sheet asset and liability derivative transactions are
              based on referenced or notional amounts. At June 30, 1998, the
              corporation had $2.705 billion notional amount of derivatives
              outstanding for asset and liability management purposes. Credit
              risk of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments is
              equal to the fair value gain of the instrument if a counterparty
              fails to perform. The credit risk is normally a small percentage
              of the notional amount and fluctuates as interest rates move up
              or down. The corporation mitigates this risk by subjecting the
              transactions to the same rigorous approval and monitoring process
              as is used for on-balance sheet credit transactions, by dealing
              in the national market with highly rated counterparties, by
              executing transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives
              Association Master Agreements, and by using collateral
              instruments to reduce exposure where appropriate. Collateral is
              delivered by either party when the fair value of a particular
              transaction or group of transactions with the same counterparty
              on a net basis exceeds an acceptable threshold of exposure. The
              threshold level is determined based on the strength of the
              individual counterparty.

              The fair value of all asset and liability derivative positions
              for which the corporation was exposed to counterparties totaled
              $88 million at June 30, 1998. The fair value of all asset and
              liability derivative positions for which counterparties were
              exposed to the corporation amounted to $12 million on the same
              date. Fair value details and additional asset and liability
              derivative information are included in the following tables.

              Asset and liability management derivatives transactions are
              accounted for following existing hedge account ing rules. As
              discussed under New Accounting Standards, an accounting standard
              was issued in June 1998 that will change the existing hedge
              accounting rules. Under the existing hedge accounting rules, gains
              and losses related to the fair value of derivative contracts used
              for asset and liability management purposes are not immediately
              recognized in earnings. If the hedged or altered balance sheet
              amounts were marked to market, the resulting unrealized balance
              sheet gains or losses could be expected to approximately offset
              unrealized derivatives gains and losses.

              To ensure the corporation is positioned to meet immediate and
              future cash demands, management relies on liquidity analysis,
              knowledge of business trends over past economic cycles and
              forecasts of future conditions. Liquidity is maintained through a
              strong balance sheet and operating performance that assures
              market acceptance as well as through policy guidelines which
              limit the level, maturity and concentration of noncore funding
              sources.

              Through its balance sheet, the corporation generates liquidity on
              the asset side by maintaining significant amounts of securities
              available-for-sale, which may be sold at any time, and by loans
              which may be securitized or sold. Additionally, the corporation
              generates cash through deposit growth, the issuance
              of bank notes, the availability of unused lines of credit, and
              through other forms of debt and equity instruments.

              Through policy guidelines, the corporation limits net purchased
              funds to 50 percent of long-term assets, which include net loans
              and leases, securities with remaining maturities over one year
              and net foreclosed real estate. Policy guidelines insure against
              concentrations by maturity of noncore funding sources by limiting
              the cumulative percentage of purchased funds that mature
              overnight, within 30 days and within 90 days. Guidelines also
              require the monitoring of significant concentrations of funds by
              single sources and by type of borrowing category.

Nonperforming
Assets        Nonperforming assets totaled $152.228 million or .34 percent of
              loans and foreclosed property at June 30, 1998. The amount was
              higher by $23.640 million or 18.4 percent from one year earlier
              and up $4.505 million or 3 percent from March 31, 1998 due to an
              increase in cash-basis assets.

              Real estate nonperforming assets, the largest category of total
              nonperforming assets, were $109.680 million or .66 percent of
              real estate loans and foreclosed real estate at June 30, 1998
              versus $106.217 million or .71 percent one year earlier and
              $102.530 million or .61 percent at the end of the first quarter.
              Included in real estate nonperforming assets were real estate
              nonperforming loans of $89.533 million at June 30, 1998, $81.545
              million one year earlier and $81.766 million at March 31, 1998.

              Commercial real estate nonperforming assets totaled $53.168
              million or .62 percent of related loans and foreclosed real
              estate compared with $67.676 million or .89 percent at the end of
              the second quarter of 1997 and with $47.125 million or .54
              percent at March 31, 1998. Commercial real estate nonperforming
              loans were $42.544 million at June 30, 1998, $53.111 million one
              year earlier and $40.981 million at the close of the first
              quarter of 1998.

Provision and
Allowance for
Loan Losses   The provision for loan losses was $68.441 million for the second
              quarter and $142.567 million for the first half of the year,
              higher by $5.394 million or 8.6 percent and $17.289 million or
              13.8 percent, respectively, from the same periods in 1997. The
              provision in the second quarter decreased $5.685 million or 7.7
              percent from the preceding three months.

              The provision reflects management's assessment of the adequacy of
              the allowance for loan losses to absorb potential write-offs in
              the loan portfolio due to credit deterioration or changes in risk
              profile. Factors considered in this assessment include the
              strength and consistency of the corporation's underwriting
              standards and charge-off policy, current and anticipated economic
              conditions, historical credit loss experience, and the
              composition of the loan portfolio. Credit evaluations are made on
              a cash flow analysis basis with follow-up credit reviews
              consistently maintained. In addition, the corporation enforces an
              aggressive loan loss policy of early recognition and charge-off
              of troubled credits. Effective with the first quarter of 1998,
              management began implementing as part of its overall credit
              review process assessments of Year 2000 compliance among
              borrowers.

              Net loan losses for the quarter were $68.223 million or .62
              percent of average loans, up $5.199 million or 8.2 percent from
              the same three months of 1997. Year to date, net charge-offs
              totaled $142.331 million or .65 percent of average loans, a rise
              of $17.091 million or 13.6 percent from a year earlier. Increases
              in both periods reflected higher credit card net losses,
              partially offset by lower net charge-offs in other retail loans
              and by a rise in real estate net recoveries. Net loan losses
              declined $5.885 million or 7.9 percent from the
 
                                       16
<PAGE>

              first quarter of 1998 due to lower net charge-offs in credit
              cards and other retail loans and to higher net recoveries in real
              estate loans. Excluding credit cards, net loan losses totaled
              $5.478 million or .06 percent of average loans for the quarter
              and $14.464 million or .08 percent for the first half compared
              with $9.662 million or .12 percent and $22.834 million or .14
              percent, respectively, in 1997 and $8.986 million or .09 percent
              in the first three months of 1998. Net loan losses are expected
              to increase in the third quarter of 1998 from the second quarter,
              reflecting higher losses anticipated in the credit card
              portfolio.

              Credit card net loan losses were $62.745 million or 4.52 percent
              of average credit card loans for the second period and $127.867
              million or 4.53 percent year to date, higher by $9.383 million or
              17.6 percent and $25.461 million or 24.9 percent, respectively,
              from a year earlier. Net charge-offs associated with other retail
              loans declined $3.544 million or 49.9 percent for the quarter and
              $4.443 million or 28.9 percent for the first half, largely
              reflecting decreased losses in automobile sales financing. Net
              recoveries in real estate loans previously charged-off rose to
              $2.944 million for the three months from $701 thousand a year
              earlier and to $4.272 million for the first six months of 1998
              from $912 thousand in 1997.

Noninterest
Income 
              Total other operating revenue, which excludes securities sales,
grew $55.449 million or 21.4 percent for the second quarter from a year earlier
and $112.303 million or 23.1 percent for the first half. Capital markets income,
deposit account service revenues, mortgage fees, fees for trust services and
investment fees led the gains in both periods. Total other operating revenue
included branch sale gains of $18.659 million in the second quarter of 1997 and
$17.155 million in the first three months of 1998. Excluding these gains, total

              other operating revenue rose $74.108 million or 30.8 percent for
              the second period and $113.807 million or 24.3 percent year to
              date and increased $48.475 million or 18.2 percent (72.7 percent
              annualized) from the first quarter. Management anticipates a
              slight moderation in total other operating revenue for the third
              quarter of 1998 from the second quarter but still expects gains
              in most categories, based on business trends in the initial part
              of the quarter.

              Capital markets income expanded $29.128 million or more than 250
              percent for the quarter from a year earlier and increased $37.926
              million or more than 200 percent for the first half of the year.
              Growth was driven largely by good gains in consulting services,
              corporate financing activities, foreign exchange transactions and
              derivatives activities. In June, Wachovia received Tier I powers
              for its Section 20 capital markets subsidiary. These powers
              enable the subsidiary to engage in underwriting and dealing in
              municipal revenue bonds, commercial paper, mortgage related
              securities and consumer related receivables, all of investment
              quality rating. Tier II powers permitting further expansion into
              corporate debt and equity securities without investment grade
              limitation are expected in 1999.

              Deposit account service charge revenues rose $7.889 million or
              10.6 percent for the three months and $14.669 million or 9.9
              percent for the first six months. Increases in both periods
              primarily occurred in overdraft charges and in commercial
              analysis fees.

              Mortgage fees grew $6.348 million or 123.2 percent for the second
              period and $8.882 million or 86 percent year to date, reflecting
              increased mortgage service premiums, gains on loans sold to the
              secondary market and higher levels of mortgage origination fees.

              Fees for trust services rose $5.134 million or 11.8 percent and
              $10.337 million or 12.2 percent for the three and six months,
              respectively. Growth in Personal Financial Services and in fees
              associated with the Wachovia Funds, the corporation's proprietary
              family of mutual funds, helped account for the gains. At June 30,
              1998, the Wachovia Funds had assets of $6.178 billion compared
              with $4.886 billion one year earlier. Total trust assets under
              management increased approximately 25 percent from June 30, 1997.
              In April, Wachovia completed its acquisition of Hunt, DuPree,
              Rhine and Associates, Inc., a benefits consulting firm, and its
              affiliate, Retirement Plan Securities, Inc., a registered
              investment advisor. The acquisition enables the corporation to
              offer expanded benefit consulting services to its middle market
              corporate customers.

              Investment fees increased $3.132 million or 36.7 percent for the
              quarter and $5.867 million or 34.5 percent for the first half.
              Growth occurred primarily in fees associated with customer mutual
              fund trading, retirement plan commission income and brokerage
              commissions.

              Higher debit card transactions and increased foreign usage of
              ATMs helped push electronic banking income up $2.989 million or
              19.1 percent for the second period and $4.618 million or 15.2
              percent year to date.

              Credit card fee income declined modestly for the quarter but
              remained slightly higher for the first half of the year.

              Remaining combined categories of total other operating revenue,
              excluding branch sale gains, rose $20.225 million or 52.8 percent
              for the three months and $30.557 million or 39.3 percent year to
              date. Insurance premiums and commissions decreased slightly for
              the quarter but were moderately higher for the first half.
              Bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees expanded $892
              thousand or 10 percent for the second period and $2.550 million
              or 15.2 percent year to date. Other service charges and fees rose
              moderately for both the quarter and first half, while other
              income was up $18.865 million or 162.2 percent for the three
              months and $26.721 million or 102.8 percent for the first six
              months.

              Including securities sales, total noninterest income rose $57.943
              million or 22.3 percent for the second period and $116.396
              million or 23.8 percent year to date. Net gains on securities
              sales totaled $2.992

              million for the three months and $6.149 million for the first six
              months versus $498 thousand and $2.056 million, respectively, in
              1997.

Noninterest
Expense       Total noninterest expense increased $96.593 million or 23 percent
              for the second quarter and $202.241 million or 25 percent for the
              first half. Included in total noninterest expense for 1998 were
              merger-related charges of $30.849 million, pretax, for the second
              period and $66.417 million, pretax, year to date, related to
              systems conversions, signage changes and employee benefits
              expenses principally in Virginia. Excluding integration-related
              expenses, noninterest expense on a core operating basis rose
              $65.744 million or 15.6 percent for the second quarter and
              $135.824 million or 16.8 percent for the first half and was higher
              by $27.464 million or 6 percent from the first three months of the
              year. Management estimates integration charges for the remainder
              of 1998 will total approximately $10 million, pretax, with the
              majority of the charges expected to be taken in the third quarter
              for the corporation's new Florida operations. Excluding
              merger-related charges, noninterest expense in the third quarter
              of 1998 is expected to decrease from the second quarter based on
              lower anticipated incentive pay and other personnel expenses.

              Total personnel expense rose $43.490 million or 19.9 percent for
              the three months from a year earlier and $91.575 million or 21.3
              percent for the first six months. Salaries expense grew $40.744
              million or 22.8 percent and $81.676 million or 23.3 percent for
              the quarter and first half, respectively, driven principally by
              higher incentive pay for revenue generating businesses. Employee
              benefits expense was up $2.746 million or 6.9 percent for the
              second period and $9.899 million or 12.4 percent year to date,
              reflecting increases in retirement benefits costs and in payroll
              taxes associated with an expanded employee base.

              Combined net occupancy and equipment expense was up $11.958
              million or 18.8 percent for the quarter and $18.401 million or
              14.7 percent for the first half. Net occupancy expense rose
              $6.462 million or 23.4 percent for the three months and $11.751
              million or 20.9 percent for the first six months, due to building
              maintenance and operating expenses of acquired companies. Higher
              depreciation, leasing and maintenance costs helped push equipment
              expense up $5.496 million or 15.4 percent for the second period
              and $6.650 million or 9.6 percent year to date.

              Remaining combined categories of noninterest expense, excluding
              merger-related charges, increased $10.296 million or 7.5 percent
              for the quarter and $25.848 million or 10.2 percent for the first
              half. Amortization of intangible assets accounted for the largest
              portion of the growth, rising $6.962 million for the three months
              and $13.815 million for the first six months, on higher levels of
              goodwill and deposit base

              intangibles following the corporation's purchase acquisitions.
              Advertising expense grew $2.206 million or 10.8 percent for the
              second period and $4.370 million or 12.2 percent year to date,
              while outside data processing, programming and software expense
              declined $10.744 million or 39.8 percent for the quarter and
              $12.584 million or 30.3 percent for the first half due, in part,
              to reductions in Year 2000 spending.

              The corporation has been working since late 1995 to identify and
              remediate data recognition problems that will be caused in
              computer systems and software by the change in date from the year
              1999 to the year 2000. Management has identified all business and
              operational functions that will be impacted by the date change
              and has been moving aggressively to convert and test its
              application systems for Year 2000 date recognition. Conversion of
              all in-house application systems was substantially completed by
              mid-year 1998, with in-house testing expected to be finished by
              the end of the year. Wachovia's schedule for Year 2000 compliance
              incorporates 21st century date testing as part of the conversion
              process and encompasses all application systems, not simply those
              considered critical to operations. Throughout 1999, the
              corporation will conduct testing with external entities, such as
              business partners and the Federal Reserve, as they become Year
              2000 ready. The corporation also is working to assess Year 2000
              readiness on the part of its current and future vendors,
              particularly those vendors considered critical to the ongoing
              operations and business of the corporation. Spending for Year
              2000 testing and conversion was approximately $8 million for the
              second quarter and $14 million year to date. Management estimates
              that total Year 2000 project costs will be approximately $60
              million, with $52 million having been spent through June 30,
              1998. The total projected cost is up from $55 million estimated
              earlier due to additional internal expenditures for testing. The
              corporation's Year 2000 project costs are not expected to have a
              material impact on its results of operations, liquidity or
              capital resources. The impact of Year 2000 noncompliance by all
              outside parties with whom the corporation may transact business
              cannot be assessed fully at this time.

Income Taxes  Applicable income taxes increased $13.350 million or 14.5 percent
              for the quarter from a year earlier and were higher by $19.305
              million or 10.8 percent for the first half. Income taxes computed
              at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the assumed tax
              effect of interest income earned on state and municipal loans and
              debt securities. Also, within certain limitations, one-half of the
              interest income earned on qualifying employee stock ownership plan
              loans is exempt from federal taxes. The interest earned on certain
              state and municipal debt instruments is exempt from federal taxes
              and in some cases state taxes. The tax-exempt nature of these
              assets provides both an attractive return for the corporation and
              substantial interest savings for local governments and their
              constituents.

New Accounting
Standards     In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 127, "Deferral of
              the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No.
              125, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 125" (FASB 127). FASB 127
              delayed until 1998 certain provisions of FASB 125 that deal with
              repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar
              transactions and pledged collateral. Adoption of FASB 127 was not
              material.

              In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
              130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130), was issued and
              establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
              income and its components. FASB 130 requires comprehensive income
              and its components, as recognized under the accounting standards,
              to be displayed in a financial statement with the same prominence
              as other financial statements. The disclosure requirements of
              FASB 130 have been included in the corporation's consolidated
              statements of shareholders' equity.

              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures
              about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FASB
              131), also issued in June 1997, establishes new standards for
              reporting information about operating segments in annual and
              interim financial statements. The standard also requires
              descriptive information about the way the operating segments are
              determined, the products and services provided by the segments
              and the nature of differences between reportable segment
              measurements and those used for the consolidated enterprise. This
              standard is effective for years beginning after December 15,
              1997. Adoption in interim financial statements is not required
              until the year after initial adoption, however comparative prior
              period information is required. FASB 131 will be adopted, as
              required, beginning with year-end 1998. The disclosure
              requirements will have no impact on the corporation's financial
              position or results of operations.

              In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of
              the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
              Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
              Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1),
              which provides guidance as to when it is or is not appropriate to
              capitalize the cost of software developed or obtained for
              internal use. The corporation elected early adoption of SOP 98-1.
              The effect of the adoption was not material.

              In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
              for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133).
              FASB 133 establishes new accounting and reporting requirements
              for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
              instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities.
              The standard requires all derivatives to be measured at fair
              value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
              statement of condition. Under certain conditions, a derivative
              may be specifically designated as a hedge. Accounting for the
              changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended
              use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Adoption of
              the standard is required for the corporation's December 31, 2000
              financial statements with early adoption allowed as of the
              beginning of any quarter after June 30, 1998. Management is in
              the process of assessing the impact and period of adoption of the
              standard. Adoption is not expected to result in a material
              financial impact.

               Financial Condition and Capital Ratios
              -----------------------------------------------------------------
               
 
              Assets at June 30, 1998 were $64.727 billion, with $57.303 billion
              of interest-earning assets and $44.459 billion of loans.
              Comparable amounts one year earlier were $59.178 billion of
              assets, $52.654 billion of interest-earning assets and $40.201
              billion of loans. At March 31, 1998, assets totaled $65.125
              billion, interest-earning assets were $57.464 billion and loans
              were $44.498 billion.

              Deposits were $39.915 billion at June 30, 1998, including $31.841
              billion of interest-bearing deposits, representing 79.8 percent
              of the total. Deposits one year earlier were $37.015 billion,
              with interest-bearing deposits of $28.726 billion or 77.6 percent
              of the total, and at March 31, 1998, deposits were $39.857
              billion, including $31.331 billion of interest-bearing deposits
              or 78.6 percent of the total. During the first quarter of 1998,
              the corporation sold selected branches primarily for regulatory
              purposes in connection with its Virginia mergers, impacting
              deposit levels at the close of both the first and second
              quarters.

              Shareholders' equity at the end of the second quarter of 1998
              totaled $5.376 billion, an increase of $892.333 million or 19.9
              percent from $4.483 billion one year earlier. Included in
              shareholders' equity at June 30, 1998 was $747.744 million from
              common stock issued in connection with the corporation's fourth
              quarter 1997 purchase acquisitions of Jefferson Bankshares and
              1st United Bancorp. Purchase transactions consummated during the
              second quarter of 1998 resulted in the issuance of 1.099 million
              shares of common stock with a corresponding increase in
              shareholders' equity of $83.313 million. Shareholders' equity at
              June 30, 1998 also included unrealized gains of $74.990 million,
              net of tax, on securities available-for-sale marked to fair
              market value compared with $44.329 million, net of tax, one year
              earlier. On June 23, the corporation's board of directors
              authorized the repurchase of up to 12 million shares of the
              corporation's common stock. The board's action to repurchase
              shares is effective through January 28, 2000. During the second
              quarter of 1998, the corporation repurchased a total of 1,245,800
              shares of its common stock, including 320,800 shares under the
              June 23 authorization. The shares were repurchased at an average
              price of $83.694 per share for a total cost of $104.266 million.
              At its meeting on July 24, 1998, the corporation's board of
              directors declared a third quarter dividend of $.49 per share,
              payable September 1 to shareholders of record on August 6. The
              dividend is higher by 11.4 percent from $.44 per share paid in
              the same quarter of 1997. For the year to date, the dividend will
              total $1.37 per share, an increase of 10.5 percent from $1.24 per
              share in 1997.

              Intangible assets at June 30, 1998 totaled $657.891 million,
              consisting of $543.057 million of goodwill, $100.729 million of
              deposit base intangibles, $12.683 million of mortgage servicing
              rights and $1.422 million of other intangibles, principally
              purchased credit card premiums. Intangible assets one year
              earlier were $113.707 million, with $46.464 million of goodwill,
              $53.052 million of deposit base intangibles, $13.343 million of
              mortgage servicing rights and $848 thousand of other intangibles.
              The increase in goodwill and deposit base intangibles from the
              end of the second quarter of 1997 resulted from the corporation's
              purchase acquisitions of Jefferson Bankshares and 1st United
              Bancorp in the fourth quarter of 1997 and of Ameribank Bancshares
              in the second quarter of 1998.

              Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I (consisting of
              shareholders' equity and certain cumulative preferred stock
              instruments less ineligible intangible assets) and Tier II
              (consisting of the allowable portion of the reserve for loan
              losses and certain long-term debt) and measure capital adequacy
              by applying both capital levels to a banking company's
              risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Regulatory
              requirements presently specify that Tier I capital should exclude
              the market appreciation or depreciation of securities
              available-for-sale arising from marking the securities portfolio
              to fair value. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory
              agencies have established a Tier I leverage ratio which measures
              Tier I capital to average assets less ineligible intangible
              assets.

              Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to
              risk-adjusted assets ratio of 8 percent with at least one-half
              consisting of tangible common shareholders' equity and a minimum
              Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks which meet or exceed a
              Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 percent and
              a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered well
              capitalized by regulatory standards. It is the policy of the
              corporation that it and its banking subsidiaries be well
              capitalized at all times.

              At June 30, 1998, the corporation's Tier I to risk-adjusted
              assets ratio was 8.81 percent and total capital to risk-adjusted
              assets was 11.44 percent. The Tier I leverage ratio was 8.91
              percent. Included in the capital ratios at June 30, 1998 was
              $996.180 million of trust capital securities versus $995.804
              million one year earlier.

                              WACHOVIA CORPORATION


            Pursuant to Section 55-10-07 of the General Statutes of North
Carolina, Wachovia Corporation hereby submits the following for the purpose of
amending and restating its articles of incorporation.

                                       I.

            The name of the corporation is Wachovia Corporation.

                                       II.

            The period of duration of the corporation shall be perpetual.

                                      III.

            The purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized are:
            (1) To exercise all of the powers of a general business corporation
under the laws of North Carolina, including but not limited to the powers
specifically described in (2) and (3) below.

            (2) To operate as a one bank or multi-bank holding company and in
general to act as a holding company and to acquire and own stock or other
interests in other businesses of any lawful character and, as shareholder or as
owner of other interests in such businesses, to exercise all rights incident
thereto.

            (3) In furtherance of any of these purposes, the corporation shall
have power to execute contracts of guaranty and to issue bonds or other
evidences of indebtedness which may be secured or unsecured and which may be
convertible into Common Stock of the corporation.
<PAGE>
                                       IV.

            The corporation shall have authority to issue One Billion
(1,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock with par value of Five Dollars ($5.00)
per share and Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock with par
value of Five Dollars ($5.00) per share.

            The Board of Directors of the corporation shall have authority to
fix the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock with
par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) per share, and to establish series of such
Preferred Stock and determine the variations between series.

                                       V.

            The address of the registered office of the corporation is Wachovia
Building, 301 North Main Street, Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina
27101, and the name of its registered agent at such address is Kenneth W.
McAllister.

                                       VI.

            The name and address of the incorporator is John G. Medlin, Jr., 301
North Main Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101.

                                      VII.

            The number of the directors of the corporation may be fixed by the
bylaws but shall not be less than nine (9).

            The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as equal
in number as may be feasible, with the term of office of one class expiring each
year. The members of the initial Board of Directors shall be divided into three
classes as hereinafter provided in Article VIII, with directors of the first
class to hold office for a term expiring at the first annual meeting 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
of shareholders, directors of the second class to hold office for a term
expiring at the second annual meeting of shareholders and directors of the third
class to hold office for the term expiring at the third annual meeting of
shareholders. At each annual meeting of shareholders, successors to the
directors whose terms shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for
terms expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. In case of any vacancies,
by reason of an increase in the number of directors or otherwise, each
additional director may be elected by the Board of Directors to hold office
until the end of the term he is elected to fill and until his successor shall
have been elected and qualified in the class to which such director is assigned
and for the term or remainder of the term of such class. Directors shall
continue in office until others are chosen and qualified in their stead. When
the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or any
decrease in directorships shall be so assigned among the classes by a majority
of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, as to make all
classes as equal in number as may be feasible. No decrease in the number of
directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

            Any director may be removed from office as a director, but only for
cause, by the affirmative vote, at a meeting called as provided in the bylaws
for that purpose, of at least 66-2/3% in interest of the holders of voting stock
of the corporation issued and outstanding, including a majority in interest of
the holders of issued and outstanding voting stock of the corporation held by
persons other than any person who is an Interested Shareholder (as defined in
paragraph (3) of Section D of Article X hereof).

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or
more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the corporation may have the
right, voting separately by 
                                      -3-
<PAGE>
class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other
features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such Preferred
Stock applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided
into classes pursuant to this Article unless expressly provided by such terms.

                                      VIII.

            The number of directors constituting the initial Board of Directors
shall be thirteen (13) and the names and addresses of the persons who are to
serve as directors until the first, second, and third annual meetings of
shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified are:

                                       IX.

            No holder of stock of the corporation shall be entitled as of right
to subscribe for or purchase any additional or increased stock of the
corporation of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, including
obligations convertible into any class of stock, or stock of any class
convertible into stock of any other class, or obligations, stock or other

authority of the Board of Directors of the corporation to such persons, firms or

<PAGE>
                  (i) The consideration to be received by holders of Common

            paragraph (3) of Section D of this Article) in connection with its
            direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial ownership of any shares
            of Common Stock. If the consideration paid by or on behalf of the
            Interested Shareholder for shares of Common Stock varied as to form,
            the form of consideration to be received by holders of Common Stock
            shall be either cash or the form used to acquire beneficial
            ownership of the largest number of shares of Common Stock previously
            acquired by the Interested Shareholder;

                  (ii) The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market
            Value (as defined in paragraph (9) of Section D of this Article) of
            consideration other than cash to be received per share by holders of

            Business Combination (the "Announcement Date") or on the date on
            which the Interested Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder,
            whichever is higher, multiplied by the ratio of (1) the highest per
            share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and
            soliciting dealers' fees) paid by the Interested Shareholder for any
            shares of Common Stock acquired by it within the two-year period
            immediately prior to the Announcement Date to (2) the Fair Market
            Value per share of Common Stock on the first day in such two-year
            period on which the Interested Shareholder acquired any shares of
            Common Stock 
                                      -6-
<PAGE>
            or (b) the highest per share price (including brokerage commissions,
            transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid by such Interested
            Shareholder in acquiring any of the corporation's Common Stock;

                  (iii) After becoming an Interested Shareholder and prior to
            the consummation of any Business Combination, (A) such Interested
            Shareholder shall not have acquired any newly issued shares of
            capital stock, directly or indirectly, from the corporation (except
            upon conversion of convertible securities acquired by it prior to
            becoming an Interested Shareholder or upon compliance with the
            provisions of this Article or as a result of a pro rata stock
            dividend or stock split) and (B) such Interested Shareholder shall
            not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except
            proportionately as a shareholder), of any loans, advances,
            guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or tax credits
            provided by the corporation, or made any major changes in the
            corporation's business or equity capital structure;

                  (iv) The Business Combination shall have been approved by at
            least 66-2/3% of the Continuing Directors (as defined in paragraph
            (8) of Section D of this Article) and, if deemed advisable by a
            majority of the Continuing Directors, the Board of Directors shall
            have obtained an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm to
            the effect that the financial terms of such Business Combination are
            fair from the point of view of the holders of Voting Shares (as
            defined in paragraph (5) of Section D of this Article) other than
            the Interested Shareholder (such investment banking firm to be
            selected by a majority 
                                      -7-
<PAGE>
            of the Continuing Directors, to be furnished with all information it
            reasonably requests, and to be paid a reasonable fee for its
            services upon receipt by the corporation of such opinion). 

           B. If the provisions of Section A of this Article have not been 
satisfied, any Business Combination shall require the affirmative vote, in
person or by proxy, at any meeting called as provided in the bylaws, of the
holders of at least 66-2/3% in interest of the Voting Shares of the corporation
issued and outstanding, including a majority in interest of the holders of
issued and outstanding Voting Shares of the corporation held by persons other
than an Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of any Interested
Shareholder. Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact
that no vote may be required, or that some lesser percentage may be specified by
law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

            C. The provisions of Sections A and B of this Article shall not be
applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination
shall require only such affirmative vote, if any, as is required by law and any
other provision of these Articles, if such Business Combination constitutes a
merger or consolidation of the corporation with, or any sale or lease to the

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA                               EXHIBIT 10.13
COUNTY OF FORSYTH
                        CONSULTING AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT

      THIS AGREEMENT,  made and entered into this 24th day of April,  1998, by
and between  Wachovia  Corporation  ("Wachovia")  and John G.  Medlin,  Jr. of
Forsyth County, North Carolina (the "Consultant").

                                    RECITALS:

      The Consultant is a former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board of Wachovia who acquired special competency in and an intimate knowledge
of Wachovia's financial service activities, lines of business, markets and
customers. Consultant is one of the most highly regarded bankers in the United
States and has received national recognition on many occasions for his
management, professional, and financial skills. Wachovia desires to engage the
Consultant to render advisory consulting services to Wachovia, and such other
subsidiaries and affiliates of Wachovia as may be engaged from time to time in
the financial services business, as an independent businessman and professional
from April 24, 1998 through November 23, 2003. Wachovia and the Consultant deem
it in their best interests to execute this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
hereinafter set forth, the Consultant and Wachovia mutually agree as follows:


ARTICLE 1.  CONSULTATION SERVICES

      Wachovia hereby engages the Consultant as an independent contractor to
render, as requested by Wachovia, and the Consultant hereby agrees to render
when so requested, consulting and advisory services for Wachovia during the term
of this Agreement. Such services shall be rendered by the Consultant with regard
to matters which are in the special competence, knowledge and experience of the
Consultant gained during the period of his former employment with Wachovia and
based upon his independent knowledge and expertise in the general area of public
policy and financial services. Wachovia and the Consultant mutually understand
and agree that such services shall not require the Consultant to be active in
the day-to-day operations of Wachovia, and that he shall be free to render said
services in such manner as he shall deem advisable; provided, however, that the
Consultant will be expected to render consulting and other professional services
for which he is uniquely qualified to Wachovia on an as-needed basis.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 2.  NATURE OF CONSULTING SERVICES AND NON-COMPETITION

      The Consultant will perform consulting and advisory services on behalf of
and as may reasonably be requested by Wachovia with respect to matters relating
to new business, general banking matters, public policy, economics, and issues
related to the financial services industry.

      It is anticipated that the specific projects or problems with regard to
which such advisory or consulting services are to be rendered by the Consultant
shall be determined by Wachovia, and that the Consultant shall devote reasonable
time to rendering such services for Wachovia and shall render such services in a
reasonably diligent and timely manner. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, such services are to be rendered on a part-time basis at such time or
times as shall be convenient to the Consultant. In carrying out the foregoing
provisions of this Article 2, the following specific rules shall apply:

      (A) The Consultant is being engaged as an independent professional for his
      knowledge, talents, and specialized skills. Wachovia shall not issue any
      formal or structured schedule of services to be rendered by the
      Consultant, or of assignments for the Consultant;

      (B) The Consultant shall be free to render services in such manner and
      form as he shall deem advisable, and Wachovia shall not exert or attempt
      to exert any control, direction, or supervision over the Consultant with
      regard to the manner, details, or means through which he renders such
      services, nor shall Wachovia issue detailed work orders or instruction
      with regard to the services to be rendered;

      (C) Wachovia shall not establish or attempt to establish any work schedule
      for the Consultant, or otherwise prescribe or attempt to prescribe the
      number of hours which the Consultant must work during any given period or
      with regard to any project or problem referred to him;

      (D) The Consultant cannot be discharged by Wachovia except in accordance
      with the terms of this contract;

      (E) In providing the independent professional services set forth herein,
      Consultant shall have the sole responsibility for determining the
      personnel resources required by him to provide the services set forth
      herein. He may hire or employ the services of others at his discretion,
      but he shall be solely responsible for assigning work to those individuals
      and compensating them, and Wachovia shall not have any responsibility or
      control over these individuals. Funds paid to the Consultant under the
      terms of this Agreement may be utilized in any lawful manner he determines
      to provide and fund the services required.

      (F) Wachovia acknowledges that the Consultant may serve clients other than
      Wachovia, and hold himself out to the public as generally available to
      provide similar consulting services. Provided, however, that Consultant
      shall not provide consulting services to any other financial institution
      or engage in any business that competes with Wachovia as an officer,
      employee, advisor, consultant, partner, or principal shareholder. Any work
      performed under the terms of this Agreement by the Consultant for Wachovia
      may involve 
<PAGE>
      confidential, sensitive and proprietary information, and it shall be
      treated as such by the Consultant. The Consultant agrees that all such
      confidential, sensitive and proprietary information will not be disclosed
      by the Consultant to any third person or entity, or utilized in any other
      manner by the Consultant except in the performance of the obligations
      under this Agreement.

      (G) The Consultant shall in no way be considered or act in such a manner
      so that he might be considered to be an employee or an agent of Wachovia,
      nor shall the Consultant have any direct or indirect or ostensible
      authority to bind Wachovia in any legal relationship or matter.

ARTICLE 3.  TERM

      The term of this Agreement shall begin on April 24, 1998 and end on
November 23, 2003. This Agreement shall terminate on November 23, 2003, or in
