AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT




     This Amendment No. 2 dated December 20, 2005 (the “Amendment”), to the Employment Agreement
dated November 1, 2001 and amended as of June 22, 2004 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”)
made and entered into by and between Wachovia Corporation (the “Corporation”) and Jean E. Davis
(the “Executive”);



RECITALS




     WHEREAS, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (as amended, the “Code”) requires delayed
commencement of payments to “key employees” in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Code
Section 409A(a)(2);



     WHEREAS, the Executive has been and it is contemplated that the Executive will continue to be
designated as a “key employee” of the Corporation as that term is defined under Code Section
416(i);



     WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement in order
to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the rules promulgated thereunder and
provide for a Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period as necessary to avoid a prohibited payment
and prevent any imposition of certain tax penalties on the Executive;



     NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and Executive mutually agree as follows:



     1. The following new Section 4(f) is added immediately following Section 4(e):



     “(f) Delayed Payment Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the Executive is deemed at the time to be a “key employee” within the meaning
of that term under Internal Revenue Code Section 416(i) and such delayed commencement is
otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Internal Revenue Code Section
409A(a)(2), no payments or benefits to which the Executive otherwise becomes entitled under this
Agreement shall be made or provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as
such term is defined in Treasury Regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A) or
(ii) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable Internal Revenue
Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period referred to in the preceding sentence, all payments and
benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 4(f) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in
a single sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed to the
Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be
paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.”



     2. This Amendment constitutes an amendment to the Employment Agreement pursuant to Section
11(a) of the Employment Agreement. All provisions of the Employment Agreement not affected by this
Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to be binding obligations of
both parties hereto. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned thereto in the Employment Agreement.



 









 




3. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall
for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
