Amendment No. 2 to First American Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (Regions Financial Corporation)

Summary

This amendment, effective January 1, 2007, updates the First American Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Regions Financial Corporation, as successor to AmSouth Bancorporation, changes the method for determining the interest rate on directors' deferred compensation accounts. The interest rate will now be based on the yield of a U.S. Government bond reported in Bloomberg, instead of The Wall Street Journal, due to changes in reporting sources. The amendment was approved by the Compensation Committee and signed by a Senior Executive Vice President of Regions Financial Corporation.
