(b) Fifth Third shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, (i) cause any
pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Fifth Third or its Affiliates to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible
dependents except to the extent that any waiting period, exclusions or requirements still applied to such Continuing Employee under the corresponding Comerica Benefit Plan that is a group health plan in which such Continuing Employee participated
immediately before the Effective Time, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the amount of eligible expenses incurred and paid by each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents that were credited to deductible and
maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the Comerica Benefit Plans to be credited for purposes of satisfying the
corresponding deductible and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the corresponding benefit plans of Fifth Third
and its Affiliates and (iii) cause any of its (or its Affiliates’) employee benefit plans (including disability pay continuation plans) in which the Continuing Employees are entitled to participate to take into account for purposes of
eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual thereunder (except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service), service by such Continuing Employees to Comerica or any of its Affiliates or
predecessors prior to the Effective Time as if such service were with Fifth Third, to the same extent and for the same purpose that such service was recognized under a comparable Comerica Benefit Plan.

obligations and rights under the Comerica Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect in connection with any such transaction from time to time; provided that nothing herein will limit any right to amend, modify or terminate any such
arrangement in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the foregoing, Fifth Third acknowledges and agrees to
