Signing Bonus Repayment Agreement

Date: July 6, 2015

Employee Name: Lars Anderson

Position: Chief Operating Officer

Hiring Manager: Greg Carmichael

Bonus Amount: $ $3,000,000.00

You are being granted a Signing Bonus (the “Bonus”) in connection with your
commencement of employment with Fifth Third Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Fifth Third Bancorp (collectively “Fifth Third”).

If you agree to the terms of this Signing Bonus Repayment Agreement (the
“agreement”) the bonus is payable on the next regular payroll date after you
have completed thirty (30) days of employment with Fifth Third.

Fifth Third retains the right to revoke this Agreement if you have not signed
and returned the Agreement within thirty (30) days of your start date. Any
failure on the part of the Fifth Third to pay the Bonus in the time frame
described above does not alter any obligation you may have to repay the Bonus
under this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifth Third does not require repayment of this bonus amount during the time you
are an employee of Fifth Third, nor will you be required to repay the Bonus
after the completion of two (2) years of continuous employment with satisfactory
performance, as determined by Fifth Third.

If your employment should terminate for cause before you complete two (2) years
of continuous employment, you will be required to repay the entire amount of
your signing bonus. Until the bonus is repaid in full, the outstanding balance
will accrue interest at Fifth Third’s Prime Rate plus 2%, and this interest rate
will adjust (increase or decrease) from time to time as Fifth Third Prime Rate
changes. Additionally, if your employment is terminated and you received a
severance payment under Fifth Third’s Severance Policy, you will not be required
to repay the Bonus.

By signing below, you certify that you have read this agreement and fully
understand its content. You understand that if your employment terminates as
described in the preceding paragraph, the full amount shall become payable on
demand. You also authorize Fifth Third to debit from your final pay, and/or from
any funds held by Fifth Third, monies on deposit with Fifth Third, or amounts
owed to you by Fifth Third, these funds will be applied to your outstanding
signing bonus balance. You agree to execute from time to time documents
evidencing the indebtedness and your obligation to it.

BY ACCEPTING THIS EOFFER, YOU ARE ACCEPTING BOTH THE OFFER LETTER AND SIGNING
BONUS REPAYMENT AGREEMENT AS CONTAINED HEREIN.

Fifth Third is proud of its long-standing affiliation with the United Way and
asks each employee to support this worthy cause. As an employee at Fifth Third,
you will be encouraged to volunteer your time and resources to the annual United
Way campaign.

information, please contact the My HR Direct Employee Care Services at MY HR
DIRECT (1-877-694-7347).

As we’ve discussed our offer of employment and continued employment is
contingent upon your successful completion of Fifth Third’s employment screening
process, which includes a drug test, a government mandated background
investigation, and completion of an I-9 form (Employment Eligibility
Verification form). You will receive further details regarding your start date
and the drug screening, fingerprint and I-9 process with your New Employee
letter. You should complete the I-9 before your start date and bring the
required documents with you on your first day. Within 72 business hours of your
first day of employment, you will be required to have completed the I-9 form and
provided proof of identification and eligibility to work in the United States. A
list of acceptable documents as well as instructions on how to complete the I-9
will be listed in your New Employee letter. All documents must be the original,
unexpired, and signed.

As with all positions at Fifth Third, each of us is employed on an at-will basis
and no part of this letter should be construed to change that relationship.
Fifth Third and each employee may terminate employment at any time.

We are pleased to offer you this position and are confident that your employment
with Fifth Third will be mutually rewarding. These are exciting times for us and
we look forward to your acceptance of our offer and your contributions to the
success of Fifth Third.

This employment offer will expire 10 business days from the date of this letter.
