the “Notes”). 
  
 (2) The
aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes and 2015 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes
pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305 of the Indenture) shall be $50,000,000 and $50,000,000, respectively. 
  
 (3) The 2012 Notes shall mature on May 1, 2012, and the 2015 Notes shall mature on May 1, 2015, subject to prior redemption at the option
of the Trust as described in paragraph (9). 
  
 (4) The rate at which the 2012 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.05% per annum, and the rate at which the 2015 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.35% per annum. The date from which such interest shall accrue shall be April 26, 2005;
the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest will be payable shall be May 1 and November 1 in each year, beginning November 1, 2005, and on the Maturity Date; the Regular Record Dates for the interest payable on the Notes on any Interest
Payment Date shall be 15 calendar days prior to the related Interest Payment Date regardless of whether such day is a Business Day; the interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

  
 (5) The Notes shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 
  
 (6) The place where the principal of (and Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable and the Notes may be surrendered for registration of 

 
transfer or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Trust in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served shall be the Corporate Trust
Office of J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, at 4 New York Plaza, 1st Floor, New York, New York 10004. 
  
 (7) The entire outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Notes (and Make-Whole Amount, if any) shall be payable upon declaration of
acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture, and the entire outstanding principal amount of the 2015 Notes (and Make-Whole Amount, if any) shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture. 
  
 (8)
Payment of the principal of (and Make-Whole Amount, any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable in Dollars and the Notes shall be denominated in Dollars. 
  

(9) The 2012 Notes and/or the 2015 Notes shall be redeemable at any time at the option of the Trust, in whole or in part, at a
Redemption Price, payable in Dollars, equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes. 
  
 “Make-Whole Amount” shall mean, in
connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any 2012 Notes or 2015 Notes, the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being
redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made,
determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the applicable Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made)
from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or paid. 
  
 “Reinvestment Rate” shall mean (i) with
respect to the 2012 Notes, 0.20%, and (ii) with respect to the 2015 Notes, 0.20%, plus, in each case, the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption
“Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the principal of the Notes being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds
to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole
Amount shall be used. 

 “Statistical Release” shall mean the statistical release designated
“H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Trust. 
  
 (10) The Trust shall not be obligated to redeem, repay or purchase Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or
analogous provision or at the option of a Holder thereof. 
  
 (11) The Holders of the Notes shall have no special rights in addition to those provided in the Indenture upon the occurrence of any particular events. 
  
 (12) Other than as set forth herein, there shall be no deletions from, modifications of or additions to the
Events of Default or additional covenants of the Trust with respect to the Notes set forth in the Indenture. 
  
 (13) Each series of Notes will be represented by a single global security (the “Global Security”) registered in the name
of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee. DTC or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective amounts of Notes represented by the Global Security. Ownership of beneficial
interests in the Global Security will be limited to institutions that have accounts with DTC or its nominee (“Participants”) and to persons that may hold interests through Participants. Beneficial owners of interests in either
Global Security may exchange such interests for Notes of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination only in the manner provided in Section 305 of the Indenture. DTC shall be the depositary of the Global Securities. The forms of such Global
Securities, attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and A-2, are hereby approved. 
  
 (14) The Notes shall not be issuable as Bearer Securities. 
  
 (15) Interest on any Note shall be payable only to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more
Predecessor Securities thereof) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
  
 (16) Sections 1402 and 1403 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes. 
  
 (17) The Notes shall not be issuable in definitive form
except under the circumstances described in Section 305 of the Indenture. 
  
 (18) The Trust shall not pay Additional Amounts as contemplated by Section 1010 of the Indenture on the Notes.

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 [Insert Grant Date] 
  
 [Insert Name and Address] 
  
 Dear [First Name]: 
  
 I am pleased to inform you
that AmSouth Bancorporation has granted you a non-qualified stock Option to purchase              shares of its Common Stock at the option price of
$             per share, under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors. This was the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
                    , the grant date for this Option grant. 
  
 This letter sets out some of the specific terms of your Option, and you should retain it for future reference. References to defined
terms in the Plan document are capitalized and are in bold print. A copy of the prospectus for the Plan and the Plan document itself is enclosed. The prospectus contains, among other things, an explanation of certain federal
income tax consequences and is current as of the date of the prospectus. However, since tax laws often change, you should consult your tax advisor for current information at any give time. 
  
 Your Option is a non-qualified stock option as contrasted with an incentive stock option with
which you may be familiar. The differences between the two types of options is in the taxability of the various actions associated with the options. Exercise of a non-qualified option is a taxable event. Please see the prospectus for more
information. 
  
 The grant date of your Option is
                    , and the last day on which you can exercise your Option is
                    . The period of time from
                     to
                     is known as the “Option Period”. Your Option will vest in
             installments, beginning on                     , as
follows: 
  

			
	 	  	        #of Option
	 	  	Shares That Become
	 Beginning On
	  	Available for Exercise

  
  
  
  
 In summary, you
cannot exercise any portion of your Option prior to                      or after
                    . However, any unvested portion of your Option will become immediately exercisable in full upon (i) your death,
(ii) your directorship with AmSouth ceasing because of disability (as defined in the retirement policy of the Board of Directors) or (iii) your retirement from the Board. 

 You may exercise your Option, in whole or part, by submitting a completed stock option exercise form (enclosed) to
the AmSouth Human Resources Division at the address shown on the exercise form. You may pay the option price due at exercise (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by tendering previously owned shares of AmSouth Bancorporation common stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value at time of exercise equal to the total option price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii). You also may make cashless exercises (a simultaneous exercise and sale). However, your ability to make cashless
exercises may be affected by the federal securities laws. For example, because a cashless exercise involves a sale of AmSouth securities on your behalf, such a transaction would not be permissible if at the time of the transaction you were in
possession of undisclosed, material information concerning AmSouth. Please consult with the Law Department if you have any questions concerning your ability under the securities laws to make a cashless exercise at any time. 
  
 This letter is the Stock Option Agreement required by the Plan. In addition to
the matters covered by this memorandum, you should pay close attention to the Plan, since it sets forth other provisions applicable to your Option. 
  
 If you have any questions, please call
                         at
                        . I would appreciate your signing duplicate copy of this letter and returning it in the enclosed
pre-addressed, postage paid envelope. 
  
 Thank you for your service to AmSouth!

  
 Sincerely, 
  
 C. Dowd Ritter
