O’Connor, Jr. ("Mr. O’Connor" or "you") and First Horizon National Corporation, its predecessors, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, attorneys and representatives, both past, present, or future ("the Company"). This arrangement is offered in recognition of your years of service with the Company and is accompanied with the Company's hope that it will assist you during the transition period that follows.

           Your signature at the conclusion of this document represents your knowing and voluntary acceptance of this Agreement. You acknowledge that you have not been pressured in any way to sign this Agreement and that you have executed it of your own free will. This Agreement should be returned to Kenneth Bottoms, 300 Court Avenue, Sixth Floor, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, after you have fully executed it.  By its execution of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and confirms that the appropriate committee of its Board of Directors or other administrative body has approved of your normal (age 65) retirement as of May 30, 2008 for purposes of applying the benefits you are otherwise entitled to under applicable plans (including those referenced in Sections 2 and 6 of this Agreement) and that nothing herein shall be considered in a manner which adversely affects any benefits, or the amount thereof, to which you are or may otherwise be entitled under applicable plans.

 

2.           Consideration:

 

           In consideration of your release as set forth below and your retirement on May 30, 2008, the Company will provide you with the following. You acknowledge that you are not otherwise entitled to the consideration listed in this Section.  In the event of your death prior to the payment of any of the amounts set forth in this Section, your entitlement to such consideration will not be adversely affected and any payments for which a beneficiary has not already been designated will be paid to your estate.


 


 

           (i)            Pro-Rata Restricted Stock

 

13,891 shares of restricted stock will vest on your retirement date of May 30, 2008.  This represents a pro-rata portion of your outstanding restricted shares.  Shares will be withheld for taxes.

                      

           (ii)            Pro-Rata Annual Bonus

 

           You will be eligible for a pro-rata annual bonus for months worked in 2008, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The amount before pro-ration will be the same that you would have received if you had not retired.
