             AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO 1992 EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN



         THIS AMENDMENT, dated as of June 1, 1999, is made by BANCTENN CORP., a
Tennessee corporation with its principal offices at 301 East Center Street,
Kingsport, Tennessee (the "Company") as follows:

                                   RECITALS:

         A.       The Company has heretofore adopted its 1992 Employee Stock
                  Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provided for an aggregate
                  of 36,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be subject
                  to the Plan, with appropriate mathematical adjustments to be
                  made as a result of any stock dividends or stock splits
                  declared by the Company with regard to its common stock.

         B.       Pursuant to action of the Company's Board of Directors taken
                  on April 13, 1995, the Company declared a 20% stock dividend
                  on its outstanding and optioned shares of common stock, paid
                  in the form of a 6-for-5 stock split, the effect of which was
                  to increase the number of shares subject to the Plan from
                  36,000 to 43,200.

         C.       Pursuant to action of the Company's Board of Directors taken
                  on October 12, 1995, the Company declared a 100% stock
                  dividend on its outstanding stock and option shares, paid in
                  the form of a 2-for-1 stock split, the effect of which was to
                  increase the number of shares subject to the Plan from 43,200
                  to 86,400.

         D.       Pursuant to action of the Company's Board of Directors taken
                  on April 24, 1997, the Company declared a 20% stock dividend
                  payable as of May 23, 1997, in the form of a 6-for-5 stock
                  split, the effect of which was to increase the number of
                  shares subject to the Plan from 86,400 to 103,680.

         E.       Pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to the Plan, approved by the
                  Company's Board of Directors on March 12, 1998 and the
                  Company's shareholders on May 14, 1998, the number of shares
                  reserved for and made subject to the Plan was increased by
                  40,000, thereby making the total number of shares subject to
                  the Plan 143,680.

         F.       Pursuant to action of the Company's Board of Directors taken
                  on May 13, 1999, the Company declared a 25% stock dividend on
                  its outstanding and optioned shares of common stock, paid in
                  the form of a 5-for-4 stock split.

         G.       The Company desires to amend the Plan to reflect the
                  resulting effect of the most recent 25% stock dividend on the
                  aggregate number of shares available under the Plan.
