               (i)  the first 20% of the shares subject to this
option shall                     be exercisable whenever:

                    (A)  the Average Share Price exceeds $_____,

it shall continue to be           exercisable until the
termination of Participant's rights hereunder           pursuant
to paragraph 3, 4, or 5, or until the option period has

case of notice by mail, the date of postmark, or (ii) if
delivered in person, the date of delivery.  Such notice shall be
accompanied by payment of the option price in full, in cash or
cash equivalent acceptable to the Executive Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Committee"), or by the surrender of shares of Common Stock with
an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the day
preceding the exercise date) which is not less than the option
price or part thereof.

          (d)  Nontransferability.  This option is
nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  During Participant's lifetime, this option may be
exercised only by Participant.

     3.   Exercise in the Event of Death.  In the event the
Participant dies while employed by the Corporation or an
Affiliate or dies within three months following his termination
of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, this option
shall be exercisable with respect to the shares the Participant
was entitled to purchase on the date of his death and that remain
subject to this option.  In either of such events, this option
may be exercised by Participant's estate, or the person or
persons to whom his rights under this option shall pass by will
or the laws of descent and distribution.  Participant's estate or
such persons may exercise this option after the Participant's
death and during the remainder of the period preceding the
Expiration Date.  Participant's estate or the person or persons
to whom his rights under this option shall pass by will or the
laws of descent and distribution may exercise this option in the
event Participant dies after he ceases to be employed by the
Corporation and its Affiliates on account of permanent and total
disability, but prior to the termination of his rights under
paragraph 4.  Participant's estate or such persons may exercise
this option during the remainder of the period prescribed by
paragraph 4.

     4.   Exercise in the Event of Permanent and Total
Disability.  If Participant becomes permanently and totally
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)
while employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate and prior to
the Expiration Date, this option shall be exercisable with
respect to all or part of the shares the Participant was entitled
to purchase pursuant to paragraph 2 on the date he became totally
and permanently disabled and that remain subject to this option. 
In that event, Participant may exercise this option during the
remainder of the period preceding the Expiration Date or within
one year of the date he ceases to be employed by the Corporation
or an Affiliate, whichever is shorter.

     5.   Exercise After Termination of Employment.  Except as
provided in paragraphs 3 and 4, in the event Participant ceases
to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate prior to the
Expiration Date, this option shall be exercisable with respect to
all or part of the number of shares he was entitled to purchase
pursuant to paragraph 2 above on the date his employment
terminated and that remain subject to this option.  In that
event, Participant may exercise this option at any time within
three months next following such termination of employment (but
in any event prior to the Expiration Date).

     6.   Fractional Shares.  Fractional shares shall not be
issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof may entitle
Participant to a fractional share, such fraction shall be
disregarded.

     7.   No Right to Continued Employment.  This option does not
confer upon Participant any right with respect to continuance of
employment by the Corporation or an Affiliate, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or an
Affiliate to terminate his employment at any time.

     8.   Change in Capital Structure.  The terms of this option
shall be adjusted as the Committee determines is equitably
required in the event the Corporation effects one or more stock
dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of
shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

     9.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

     10.  Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof and the
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall
govern.  All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as
in effect on the date hereof.

     11.  Participant Bound by Plan.  Participant hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound
by all the terms and provisions thereof. 

     12.  Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations stated
above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the legatees, distributees, and personal
representatives of Participant and the successors of the
Corporation.

     13.  Taxes.  Participant shall make arrangements acceptable
to the Corporation for the satisfaction of income and employment
tax withholding requirements attributable to the exercise of this
option.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this
Agreement to be signed by a duly authorized officer, and
Participant has affixed his signature hereto.

The option agreements are amended as follows:

1.   Effective as of April 2, 1996, the section entitled
"Exercisability of Option" is amended to add the following
language at the end thereto:

          Notwithstanding the preceding, this option shall be
exercisable           with respect to all or part of the shares
subject to this option           on a Control Change Date that
occurs before the Expiration           Date.

2.   Effective as of April 2, 1996, the following sections are
added:

          Change in Control, means if: (i) after the date of the 

        Agreement, any person, including a "group" as defined in 

        section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 

        becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 

        Company Stock having 30% or more of the combined voting  

       power of the then outstanding Company Stock that may be   

      cast for the election of the Company's directors (other
than           as a result of an issuance of securities initiated
by the           Company, or open market purchases approved by
the           Company's Board, as long as the majority of the
Company's           Board approving the purchases are directors
at the time the           purchases are made); or (ii) as the
direct or indirect result of,           or in connection with, a
cash tender or exchange offer, a           merger or other
business combination, a sale of assets, a           contested
election of directors, or any combination of these          
transactions, the persons who were directors of the Company      

   before any such transactions cease to constitute a majority of

         the Company's Board, or any successor's board, within
three           years of the last of such transactions.  

          Control Change Date, means the date on which an event  

       described in the section entitled "Change in Control"
occurs.            If a Change in Control occurs on account of a
series of           transactions, the Control Change Date is the
date of the last           of such transactions.

3.   Effective as of November 28, 1995, Subparagraph 2(b) is
amended to add the following language:

          Notwithstanding the preceding, this option shall be
exercisable           with respect to all or part of the shares
subject to this option           on the date that is thirty days
prior to the Expiration Date.      

4.   Effective as of November 28, 1995, Paragraph 3 is amended to
read as follows:

          Exercise in the Event of Permanent and Total
Disability.  If           Participant becomes permanently and
totally disabled (within           the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code) while employed           by the Corporation
or an Affiliate and prior to the Expiration           Date, this
option shall be fully exercisable with respect to all          
or part of the shares subject to this option without regard to   

      the satisfaction of any performance standards set forth in 

        subparagraph 2(b).  In that event Participant may
exercise this           option during the remainder of the period
preceding the           expiration date or within one year of the
date he ceases to be           employed by the Corporation or an
Affiliate, whichever is           shorter.

5.   Effective as of November 28, 1995, Paragraph 4 is amended to
read as follows:

          Exercise in the Event of Death.  In the event
Participant dies           while employed by the Corporation or
an affiliate or dies           within three months following his
termination of employment           with the Corporation or an
Affiliate, this option shall be fully           exercisable with
respect to all or part of the shares subject to           this
option without regard to the satisfaction of any          
performance standards set forth in subparagraph 2(b).  In that   

      event, this option may be exercised by Participant's estate
or           the person or persons to whom his rights under this
option           shall pass by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  For           those shares exercisable prior to
death, Participant's estate or           such persons may
exercise this option during one year of           Participant's
death or during the remainder of the period           preceding
the Expiration Date, whichever is longer.  While           for
the shares which only became exercisable because of          
Participant's death, Participant's estate or such persons may    

     exercise this option within one year of Participant's death
or           during the remainder of the period preceding the
Expiration           Date, whichever is shorter.  In the event
Participant dies more           than three months after he ceases
to be employed by the           Corporation or an Affiliate on
account of permanent and total           disability or
Retirement, but prior to the termination of his           rights
under paragraph 4 or 5, Participant's estate or the          
person or persons to whom his rights under this option shall     

    pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution may     

    exercise this option during the remainder of the period      

   prescribed by paragraph 4 or 5.

6.   Effective as of November 28, 1995, the following language is
added as  Paragraph 5:

          Exercise in the Event of Retirement.  If Participant
Retires           from the employ of the Company and its
Affiliates prior to           the Expiration Date, this option
shall be fully exercisable with           respect to all or part
of the shares subject to this option           without regard to
the satisfaction of any performance           standards set forth
in subparagraph 2(b).  In that event,           Participant may
exercise this option during the remainder of           the period
preceding the Expiration Date or within one year           of the
date of retirement, whichever is shorter; provided          
however, that if Participant exercises this option more than     

    three months after the date of Retirement (other than under  

       circumstances described in paragraphs 6 and 7) this
option's           intended status as an "incentive stock option"
within the           meaning of Code section 422 may be lost. 
For purposes of           this Agreement, the terms "Retire" and
"Retirement" mean           separation from service after
Participant has satisfied the           requirements for an
early, normal or delayed retirement           allowance under the
First Colony Life Insurance Company           Pension Plan or any
successor Plan of the Corporation or an           Affiliate in
which Participant is eligible to participate;           provided
however, that such terms shall not include a           separation
from service following the date the participant is          
advised that his employment is being, or will be terminated      

   for cause, on account of performance or under circumstances   

      that prevent him from being in good standing (in each case 

        as determined by the Committee in its discretion).
