      Executive RSUs	  	

 [Recipient Name] 
 Congratulations! You have been granted an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of First Horizon National Corporation (“FHNC”) as follows: 

 

							
	AMOUNT OF
AWARD:	  	Restricted Stock Units	  	GRANT DATE:	  	February 12, 2015
	GOVERNING PLAN:	  	Equity Compensation Plan	  	VESTING DATE:	  	March 2, 2018

 Your award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) recognizes your value to First Horizon National
Corporation (“FHNC”). This award is granted under the Governing Plan specified above, and is governed by the terms and conditions of that Plan and by policies, practices, and procedures (“Procedures”) of the Compensation
Committee (that administers the Plan) that are in effect from time to time during the vesting period. Also, this award is subject to the terms and restrictions of FHNC’s Compensation Recovery Policy (“Policy”) as in effect during the
vesting period. 
 This award is subject to possible forfeiture in accordance with the Plan, Procedures, and Policy. As of the
grant date, the Procedures provide (among other things) that: 
 (a) forfeiture generally will occur immediately upon termination
of employment — you must remain continuously employed by FHNC or one of its subsidiaries through the close of business on the applicable vesting date; but 
 (b) if your termination of employment occurs because of your death or permanent disability, this award immediately will vest pro-rata based on the portion of the vesting period that has elapsed at that
time and only the remainder of the award will be forfeited. One effect of clause (a) is that retirement unrelated to permanent disability normally results in the immediate forfeiture of unvested RSUs. 

Other forfeiture provisions apply to this RSU award. Currently the Plan and Policy provide for forfeiture or recovery of amounts paid at
vesting if you engage in certain types of misconduct. In addition, this award is subject to forfeiture or recovery to the extent required by applicable capital conservation rules or other regulatory requirements. Also, this award will be forfeited,
or if already vested you must pay in cash to FHNC the gross pre-tax value of this award measured at vesting, if during the restriction period applicable to this award: (1) you are terminated for Cause as defined in the Governing Plan; or
(2) you, either on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, in any manner directly or indirectly solicit, hire, or encourage any person who is then an employee or customer of FHNC or any and all of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to leave the employment of, or to end, diminish, or move any of his, her, or its accounts or relationships with, FHNC or any and all of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The restriction period for this award begins on the Grant Date and
ends on the second anniversary of the vesting date. By accepting this award, you acknowledge that FHNC may reduce or offset other amounts owed to you, including but not limited to wages, bonuses, or commissions owed, among other things, to satisfy
any repayment obligation. 
 The Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate vesting; no
employee has any right to receive acceleration. As of the Grant Date, the Committee’s Procedures allow you to request pro-rata vesting of RSUs if you retire prior to normal vesting at or after age 65 with at least 5 years of service. If such a
request were granted, only the remaining shares would forfeit. 
 RSUs are not shares of stock, have no voting rights, and are
not transferable. Each RSU that vests will result in one share of FHNC common stock being issued to you, subject to withholding for taxes. Subject to provisions of the Governing Plan, the Committee may choose to pay all or a portion of vested RSUs
in cash, based on the fair market value of FHNC common stock on the vesting date. 
 Your RSUs will accrue cash dividend
equivalents to the extent cash dividends are paid on common shares prior to vesting. From the grant date until the vesting date, dividend equivalents accumulate (without interest) as if each RSU were an outstanding share. To the extent that RSUs
vest, the accumulated dividend equivalents associated with vested RSUs will be paid in cash at vesting or in the next payroll cycle. Dividend equivalents associated with forfeited RSUs likewise are forfeited. Stock splits and stock dividends will
result in a proportionate adjustment to the number of RSUs as provided in the Plan and Procedures. 
 Vesting is a taxable event
for you. Your withholding and other taxes will depend upon FHNC’s stock value on the vesting date and the amount of dividend equivalents paid to you. As of the Grant Date, the Committee’s Procedures provide that FHNC will withhold shares
and cash at vesting in the amount necessary to cover your required withholding taxes; however, the Procedures may be changed at any time. You are not permitted to make any election in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, to include in your gross income for federal income tax purposes the value of this award this year. If you make a Section 83(b) election, it will result in the forfeiture of this award.
