Amendment Number One to the AmSouth Bancorporation Supplemental Retirement Plan

Summary

AmSouth Bancorporation has amended its Supplemental Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 2001, to merge the First American Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (FAC Program) into its plan. Benefits accrued under the FAC Program up to December 31, 2000, will be calculated and distributed according to the FAC Program's original terms, and no further benefits will accrue under the FAC Program after that date. From January 1, 2001, all benefits will be governed by the AmSouth plan. This amendment ensures that participants retain their previously earned benefits under the FAC Program.
