                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

   AGREEMENT by and between First Chicago NBD Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and _________ (the "Executive"), dated as of the
______ day of December, 1995.

   In light of the merger of First Chicago Corporation and the Company
("Merger"), the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure
that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive to provide
the Company after the Merger with continuity of management.  Therefore, in order
to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into
this Agreement.

   NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

   1.  Effective Date.  The "Effective Date" shall mean the effective date of
the Merger.

   2.  Employment Period.  The Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive
in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the
Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 1, 1997 (the "Employment
Period").

   3.  Terms of Employment.  (a) Position and Duties.  (i) During the Employment
Period, (A) the Executive shall serve as _______, with such authority, duties
and responsibilities as are assigned to the Executive on the Effective Date and
as may be consistent with such position as may be assigned to him by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and (B) the Executive's services shall be
performed at any Company office located in the Midwestern United States.

   (ii)  During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and
sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote
substantially all of his attention and time during normal business hours to the
business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge
the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's
reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such
responsibilities.  During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of
this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable
boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or
teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long
as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the
Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with
this Agreement.  It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that
any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective
Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities
similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not
thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive's
responsibilities to the Company.

   (b)  Compensation.  (i) Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), which
shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to twelve times the highest
monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been
earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated
companies in respect of the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month
in which the Effective Date occurs.  During the Employment Period, the Annual
Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary
increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at
least annually.  Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or
reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.  Annual Base
Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base
Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so
increased.  As used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall
include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the
Company.

   (ii)  Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans.  During the Employment Period,
the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and
retirement plans applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company
and its affiliated companies.

   (iii)  Welfare Benefit Plans.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for
participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans,
provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including, without
limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, accidental
death and travel accident insurance plans) to the extent applicable generally to
other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

   (iv)  Expenses.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by
the Executive in accordance with the Company's policies.

   (v)  Fringe Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to fringe benefits, in accordance with Company policy as in effect from
time to time.

   (vi)  Office and Support Staff.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and
other appointments as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

   (vii)  Vacation.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the plans, policies, programs and
practices of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect generally at
any time with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated
companies.

   4.  Termination of Employment.  (a)  Death or Disability.  The Executive's
employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the
Employment

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 

Period.  If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the
Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition
of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in
accordance with Section 12(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate
the Executive's employment.  In such event, the Executive's employment with the
Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice
by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30
days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time
performance of the Executive's duties.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties
with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a
result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be
total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and
acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative.

   (b)  Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during the
Employment Period for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall
mean:

   (i)  the continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the
Executive's duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any
such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after
a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by
the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes
that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, or

   (ii)  the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross
misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or

   (iii)  conviction of a felony or any other offense involving dishonesty or
breach of trust, or entry of a guilty or nolo contendere plea by the Executive
or participation in a pre-trial diversion with respect thereto, or

   (iv)  a material breach of the covenants contained in
Section 9.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or
a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.  The cessation
of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and
until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution
duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 

fourths of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called
and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive
and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard
before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the
Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above,
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

   (c)  Good Reason.  The Executive's employment may be terminated by the
Executive for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
mean in the absence of a written consent of the Executive:

   (i)  any action by the Company which results in a diminution of officer title
or a material diminution in the position, authority, duties or responsibilities
associated with such officer title as are assigned to the Executive as of the
Effective Date, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and
inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company
promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

   (ii)  any material failure by the Company to comply with any of the
provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is
remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
Executive;

   (iii)  the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any office or
location outside of the Midwestern United States;

   (iv)  any purported termination by the Company of the Executive's employment
otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or

   (v)  any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 10(c) of
this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 4(c), any good faith determination of "Good Reason"
made by the Executive shall be conclusive.

   (d)  Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by
the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to
the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b) of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice
which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment  under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of
Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice,
specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty days
after the giving of such notice).  The failure by the Executive or the Company
to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 

right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the
Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance
in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

   (e)  Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" means (i) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good
Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date
specified therein within 30 days of such notice, as the case may be, (ii) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or
Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company
notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

   5.  Obligations of the Company upon Termination.  (a) Good Reason; Other Than
for Cause, Death or Disability.  If, during the Employment Period, the Company
shall terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability or
the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason:

   (i)  the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30
days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

       A.  the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base salary through the Date of
   Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the
   Executive's average bonus under the Company's annual incentive plans with
   respect to the last three full fiscal years prior to the Date of Termination
   (the "Average Annual Bonus") and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
   the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs
   through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365; and

       B.  the amount equal to the product of (1) two and one-half and (2) the
   sum of (x) the Executive's Annual Base Salary and (y) the Average Annual
   Bonus;

   (ii) the Company shall pay the following to the Executive after the Date of
Termination pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan and/or deferral
election:

       A.  any compensation previously deferred (other than pursuant to a
   qualified plan) by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or
   earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent
   not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i)(A)(1),
   (i)(A)(2), and this (ii)(A) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued
   Obligations"); and

       B.  an amount equal to the excess of (a) the actuarial equivalent of the
   benefit under the Company's qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the
   "Retirement Plan") (utilizing actuarial assumptions no less favorable to the
   Executive than those in effect

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 

   under the Company's Retirement Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date),
   and any excess and/or supplemental retirement plans in which the Executive
   participates (together, the "SERPs") which the Executive would receive if the
   Executive's employment continued for thirty months after the Date of
   Termination assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully
   vested, and, assuming that the Executive's compensation in each of the three
   years is that required by Section 3(b)(i) and assuming an annual bonus equal
   to the Average Annual Bonus, over (b) the actuarial equivalent of the
   Executive's actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement
   Plan and the SERPs as of the Date of Termination;

   (iii)  for thirty months after the Executive's Date of Termination, or such
longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, the
Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family
at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance
with the plans, described in Section 3(b)(iii) of this Agreement if the
Executive's employment had not been terminated; provided, however, that if the
Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive
medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the
medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those
provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility.
For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of
benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, the
Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until thirty months
after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such
period;

   (iv)  the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the
Executive with outplacement services at a cost not to exceed $35,000; provided
that the provider of such services must be approved by the Company; and

   (v)  to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall
provide to the Executive for one year following the Date of Termination
reasonable and appropriate office space, secretarial support and use of a
Company provided automobile, but only if such automobile was provided prior to
the Date of Termination.

   (b)  Death.  If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this
Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment
of death benefits as in effect on the date of the Executive's death with respect
to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their
beneficiaries.  Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive's estate or
beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of
Termination.

   (c)  Disability.  If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment
of Accrued Obligations and the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 

timely payment, after the Disability Effective Date, of disability benefits as
in effect on the Disability Effective Date with respect to other peer executives
of the Company and its affiliated companies. Accrued Obligations shall be paid
to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of
Termination.

   (d)  Cause; Other than for Good Reason.  If the Executive's employment shall
be terminated for Cause or the Executive terminates his employment without Good
Reason during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without
further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the
Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (y) the
amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (such deferred
amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan or deferral
election) and (z) any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent
theretofore unpaid.

   6.  Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program,
policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies
and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 12(f), shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated
companies.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or
any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at
or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with
such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as
explicitly modified by this Agreement.

   7.  Set-Off; No Mitigation; Legal Expenses.  Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement, the Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in
this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder are subject to
and may be reduced by all rights of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive
or others.  In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable
to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as
provided in Section 5(a)(iii), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not
the Executive obtains other employment.  The Company agrees to pay as incurred,
to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the
Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the
outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or
enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any
guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the
Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in
each case interest on any delayed payment at the application Federal rate
provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").

                                      -7-

   8.  Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

   (a)  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding and except
as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid
or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments
required under this Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by
the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with
any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the
Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect
to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any
interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon
the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a), if it shall be determined that the
Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Executive, after
taking into account the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a
net after-tax benefit of at least $50,000 (taking into account both income taxes
and any Excise Tax) as compared to the net after-tax proceeds to the Executive
resulting from an elimination of the Grosse-Up Payment and a reduction of the
Payments, in the aggregate, to an amount (the "Reduced Amount") such that the
receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up
Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall
be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

   (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), all determinations required
to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment
is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be
utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Arthur Andersen LLP
or such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the
Company as may be designated by the Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which
shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the
Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive
that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the
Company.  In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or
auditor for the surviving corporation following the Merger, the Executive may
appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to
the Company to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm
shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder).  All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.  Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the
Company to the Executive within five days of the later of (i) the due date for
the payment of any Excise Tax or (ii) the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Company and the Executive.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 

As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at
the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is
possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company
should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder.  In the event that the Company exhausts its
remedies pursuant to Section 8(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to
make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount
of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

   (c)  The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed
in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such
claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid.  The Executive
shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following
the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

   (i)  give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim,

   (ii)  take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by
an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

   (iii)  cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to
contest such claim, and

   (iv)  permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such
representation and payment of costs and expenses.  Without limitation on the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), the Company shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may
pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its
sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees
to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal,
in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the
Executive to pay such claim and sue for

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 

a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive,
on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless,
on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or
penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with
respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided
that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes
for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the
Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other
issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

   (d)  If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the
Company pursuant to Section 8(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any
refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's
complying with the requirements of Section 8(c)) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto).  If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), a determination is made that
the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and
the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest
such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to
