 AGREEMENT 
  

	1.	EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND DUTIES. 

 1.1
EMPLOYMENT. Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment by Employer commencing on the Effective Date, upon the terms and 








 
conditions set forth in this Agreement. Executive agrees to serve as (i) an employee of Employer and as an employee of one or more of Employer’s
Affiliates; (ii) on such committees and task forces of the Employer (including, without limitation, BB&T’s Executive Management Team), as Executive may be appointed from time to time; and (iii) as a member of the Board of
Directors of BB&T and/or BBTC as Executive may be appointed from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to appoint or reappoint Executive to any committee or task force or Board of Directors be considered or
treated either as a breach of this Agreement by the Employer or as a termination of Executive’s employment. 
 1.2
DUTIES. Executive shall serve as Senior Executive Vice President of BB&T and BBTC, and shall report to the Chief Operating Officer of Employer. Executive shall have the
authority, and perform the duties customarily associated with Executive’s title together with such additional duties of an executive nature as may from time to time be reasonably assigned by the Chief Operating Officer of Employer or
Employer’s Boards of Directors. Executive shall devote all of Executive’s business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of Employer and their Affiliates and shall not be otherwise employed. Executive
shall at all times comply with and be subject to such policies and procedures as Employer may establish from time to time including, without limitation, conflict of interest policies. Employer and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the
benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of Executive, and Executive shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director,
stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of Employer and their Affiliates. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of Executive to invest in a
business similar to the business of Employer and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are
publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange. 
 1.3
TERM. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 below, unless extended or shortened as provided in this Agreement, the term of employment of Executive under this Agreement
shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue until the expiration of a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months immediately following the Effective Date (the “Term”). As of the first day of each calendar month
commencing December 1, 2008, this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder, shall be automatically extended (without any further action of or by Employer or Executive) for an additional successive calendar month; provided, however,
that on any one month anniversary date, either Employer or Executive may serve notice to the other parties to fix the Term to a definite thirty-six (36) month period from the date of such notice and no further automatic extensions shall occur.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term shall not be extended beyond the first day of the calendar month next following the date on which Executive attains age sixty-five (65). The Term as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 1.3, or, as
it may be shortened in accordance with Section 1.6, is hereinafter referred to as the “Term”. 
 1.4
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. 
 1.4.1
Base Salary. In consideration of all of (i) the services rendered to Employer and Employer’s Affiliates hereunder by Executive, and (ii) Executive’s covenants 

  

 - 2 - 








 
hereunder, Employer shall, during the Term, pay Executive a salary at the annual rate of Two Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars
($289,799) (the “Base Salary”), payable in equal cash installments in accordance with Employer’s regular payroll practices, but no less frequently than monthly. The $289,799 annual Base Salary may be increased, but not
decreased without the written consent of Executive, from time to time in the sole discretion of Employer and any such increased “Base Salary” shall thereafter constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement, and may not
thereafter be reduced without the written consent of Executive 
 1.4.2 Incentive Compensation. During the Term,
Executive shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4, continue to participate in any bonus or incentive plans of Employer, whether any such plan provides for awards in cash or securities, made available to other executives of Employer
similarly situated to Executive, as such plan or plans may be modified from time to time, or such other similar plans for which Executive may become eligible and designated a participant. 
 1.4.3 Employee Benefits. Executive shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4, be eligible to participate in such employee
benefits plans and programs of Employer (such as retirement, sick leave, vacation, group disability, health, life, and accident insurance) as may be in effect from time to time (and subject to the terms thereof) during the Term as are afforded to
other similarly situated executives of BB&T. 
 If, during the Term, Executive becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and
retires, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees of BB&T who are also retiring at the same time. During the Compensation Continuance Period, Executive shall be
deemed to be an “active employee” of Employer for purposes of participating in BB&T’s health care plan and for purposes of satisfying any age and service requirements under BB&T’s retiree health care program. Thus,
if Executive has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of Executive’s Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement
(or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, Executive shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date Executive’s
Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under BB&T’s retiree health care program, Executive shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends
during the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 1.5 BUSINESS
EXPENSES. Employer shall, upon receipt from Executive of supporting receipts to the extent required by applicable income tax regulations and Employer’s reimbursement
policies, reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket business expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with Executive’s employment hereunder. 
 1.6 TERMINATION. Executive’s employment and this Agreement (except as otherwise provided hereunder) shall terminate upon a date (the
“Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the expiration (as provided in Section 1.3) of the Term, or (ii) the occurrence of any of the following at the time set forth therefor: 
 1.6.1 Death. Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon Executive’s death.

 1.6.3 Disability. Immediately upon the reasonable determination by Employer that
Executive shall have been unable to substantially perform the essential functions of Executive’s duties by reason of a physical or mental disability, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months
(“Disability”); provided that prior to any such termination for Disability, the Boards of Directors of Employer shall have given Executive at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of Employer’s intent to
terminate Executive due to Disability, and Executive shall not have returned to full-time employment by the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice (termination pursuant to this Section 1.6.3 being referred to herein as termination for
Disability). 
 1.6.4 Voluntary Termination. Immediately upon the date specified in Executive’s written notice to
Employer’s Boards of Directors of Executive’s voluntary termination of employment; provided, however, that Employer may accelerate the effective date of such termination (and the Termination Date) (termination pursuant to this

Cause. Immediately following notice of termination for “Just Cause” (as defined below), specifying such Just Cause, given by Employer’s Boards of Directors (termination pursuant to this Section 1.6.5 being referred to

this Agreement; provided, that Executive has received written notice from Employer of such material breach and such breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice. For purposes of this provision,
no act or failure to act, on the part of Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best
interests of Employer. 
 1.6.6 Termination Without Just Cause. Immediately upon the date specified in a written notice
of termination without Just Cause from Employer’s Boards of Directors to Executive (termination pursuant to this Section 1.6.6 being referred to herein as termination “Without Just Cause”). 
 1.6.7 Good Reason Termination. Subject to the following, thirty (30) days following the written notice by Executive to
Employer’s Boards of Directors described in this Section 1.6.7; provided, however, that during any such thirty (30) day period, Employer may

position as a representative and agent of Employer and Employer’s Affiliates) (termination pursuant to this Section 1.6.7 being referred to herein as “Good Reason Termination”). For purposes of this Section 1.6.7, a
Good Reason Termination shall occur when Executive provides written notice to Employer’s Boards of Directors of termination for “Good Reason”, which, as used herein, shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events
without Executive’s express written consent: 
  

	 	(i)	the assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent with the position and status of a Senior Executive Vice President of Employer; or

	 	(iv)	any purported termination of the employment of Executive by Employer which is not effected in accordance with this Agreement; 

 provided, however, that an event shall not constitute Good Reason unless, within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of an
event, Executive gives Employer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such event setting forth a description of the circumstances constituting Good Reason and Employer fails to cure such within the thirty- (30-) day period
following Employer’s receipt of such written notice. 
 1.6.8 No Other Remedies. Termination pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in limitation of and with prejudice to any other right or remedy to which Executive may otherwise be entitled at law or in equity against Employer, its affiliates, and its agents, shareholders, employees, officers and directors.

 1.7.2 Termination for
Disability. In the case of a termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for Disability in accordance with Section 1.6.3 above, during the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of Executive’s Disability,
Executive shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which Executive would have been entitled if Executive had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amount, and in the
manner provided in Section 1.4, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of Employer. Thereafter, Executive shall receive only compensation to which Executive is entitled under any applicable
disability insurance plan of Employer; and Executive shall have no right to receive any other compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits upon or after Executive’s Termination Date. In the event a dispute arises between
Executive and Employer concerning Executive’s Disability or ability to continue or return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid, Executive shall submit, at the expense of Employer, to examination of a competent physician mutually
agreeable to the parties, and such physician’s opinion as to Executive’s capability to so perform shall be final and binding upon Employer and Executive.

	 	(ii)	Employer shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of Executive under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent
permitted by Code Section 409A or other applicable law and the terms of such plan or arrangement. 

  

 - 6 - 









	 	(iii)	Employer shall make available to Executive, at Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by Employer, with the cost to Employer of
such outplacement services not to exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000). 

  

	 	(iv)	During the Compensation Continuance Period, Executive shall either continue to participate (treating Executive as an “active employee” of Employer for this purpose) in the
same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of Employer generally are eligible,
on the same terms as were in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date, or, to the extent such participation is not permitted by any group plan insurer, under comparable individual plans and coverage (to the extent commercially available).


 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this Section 1.7.3 shall be paid by Employer in
accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date. If Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Section 1.7.3 or Section 2 of this Agreement, Executive shall not

	 	(ii)	Employer shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of Executive under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent
permitted by Code Section 409A or other applicable law and the terms of such plan or arrangement.

such outplacement services not to exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).

	 	(iv)	During the Compensation Continuance Period, Executive shall either continue to participate (treating Executive as an “active employee” of Employer for this purpose) in the
same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of Employer generally are eligible,
on the same terms as were in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date, or, to the extent such participation is not permitted by any group plan insurer, under comparable individual plans and coverage (to the extent commercially available).


 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this Section 1.7.4 shall be paid by Employer in
accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date. If Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Section 1.7.4 or Section 2 of this Agreement, Executive shall not
be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 1.7.4 from and after the date of such breach. 
 1.7.5 Change of Control. If the employment of Executive is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of Executive’s death, regardless of whether Employer or Executive initiates such
termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), Executive shall be entitled to the following Termination Compensation and benefits in lieu of any other
compensation or benefits (under Section 1.4 of this Agreement or otherwise) from Employer: 
  

	 	(i)	Executive shall receive Termination Compensation each month during the Compensation Continuance Period. 

  

	 	(ii)	Employer shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of Executive under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent
permitted by Code Section 409A or other applicable law and the term of such plan or arrangement. 

  

	 	(iii)	Employer shall make available to Executive, at Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by Employer, with the cost to Employer of
such outplacement services not to exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000). 

  

	 	(iv)	 During the Compensation Continuance Period, Executive shall either continue to participate (treating Executive as an “active employee” of Employer for
this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers 



  

 - 8 - 









	 	 
of Employer generally are eligible on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in
effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the
case may be; or, to the extent such participation is not permitted by any group plan insurer, under comparable individual plans and coverage (to the extent commercially available). 


 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this Section 1.7.5 shall be paid by Employer in accordance with the standard payroll
practices and procedures in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. If Executive incurs a termination of employment pursuant to this Section 1.7.5, Executive shall be subject to
all of the provisions of Section 2 other than the noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions thereof. If Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement, exclusive of the noncompetition and
nonsolicitation provisions thereof, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 1.7.5 from and after the date of such breach. 
 Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of Executive result in application of both Section 1.7.3 or Section 1.7.4 and
this Section 1.7.5, this Section 1.7.5 shall be deemed to apply and control. 
 1.7.6 No Termination of Continuing
Obligations. Termination of Executive’s employment relationship with Employer in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement does not terminate those obligations imposed by this Agreement which are continuing
obligations, including, without limitation, Executive’s obligations under Section 2; provided, however, that the noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions of Section 2.1 shall be inapplicable upon Executive’s Termination Date
if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 1.7.5. Any provision of this Agreement which by its terms obligates Employer to make payments subsequent to termination of Executive’s Employment Term shall survive any such
termination. 
 1.7.7 SERP. Executive is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan
(the “SERP”). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of
selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of Executive is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just
Cause and except in the event Executive terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement: 
  

	 	(i)	The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to Executive, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express
written consent of Executive. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to Executive unless Executive consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental
Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of Executive shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 1.7.7(i) and the SERP, the
provisions of this Section 1.7.7(i) shall prevail. Executive hereby agrees and consents to Employer’s amendment of the SERP to comply with Section 409A.

	2.	ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE.  

 2.1 NONCOMPETITION. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the duties and responsibilities to be performed by Executive under this Agreement are of a special and
unusual character which have a unique value to Employer and their Affiliates, the loss of which cannot be adequately compensated by damages in any action in law. As a consequence of his unique position as Senior Executive Vice President of Employer,
Executive also acknowledges and agrees that Executive will have broad access to Confidential Information, that Confidential Information will in fact be developed by Executive in the course of performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement, and that the Confidential Information furnishes a competitive advantage in many situations and constitutes, separately and in the aggregate, valuable, special and unique assets of Employer and their Affiliates. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that the unique and proprietary knowledge and information possessed by, or which will be disclosed to, or developed by, Executive in the course of Executive’s employment will be such that Executive’s breach
of the covenants contained in this Section 2.1 would immeasurably and irreparably damage Employer and their Affiliates regardless of where in the Restricted Area the activities constituting such breach were to occur. Thus, Executive
acknowledges and agrees that it is both reasonable and necessary for the covenants in this Section 2.1 to apply to Executive’s activities throughout the Restricted Area. In recognition of the special and unusual character of the duties and
responsibilities of Executive under this Agreement and as a material inducement to Employer to continue to employ Executive in this special and unique capacity, Executive covenants and agrees that, to the extent and subject to the limitations
provided in this Section 2 (whichever portion may be applicable), including the limitation on the duration of the covenants therein contained, during the Term and upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, or upon the
expiration of the Term, Executive shall not, on Executive’s own account or as an employee, associate, consultant, partner, agent, principal, contractor, owner, officer, director, member, manager or stockholder of any other Person who is engaged
in the Business (collectively, the “Restricted Persons”), directly or indirectly, alone, for, or in combination with any one or more Restricted Persons, in one or a series of transactions: 
 (i) serve in any capacity of any Person who is engaged in the Business in any state in the Restricted Area and who is a direct competitor
of Employer or of any Affiliate of Employer who is also engaged in the Business; 
  

 - 10 - 








 (ii) provide consultative services to any Person who is engaged in the Business in any
state in the Restricted Area and who is a direct competitor of Employer or of any Affiliate of Employer who is also engaged in the Business; 
 (iii) call upon any of the depositors, customers or clients of Employer (or of any Affiliate who is also engaged in the Business) who were such at any time during the twelve-month period ending on the Termination Date
whose needs Executive gained information about during Executive’s employment with Employer for the purpose of soliciting or providing any product or service similar to that provided by Employer or their Affiliates; 
 (iv) solicit, divert, or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away any of the depositors, customers or clients of Employer (or
of any Affiliate who is also engaged in the Business) who were such at any time during the twelve-month period ending on the Termination Date whose needs Executive gained information about during Executive’s employment with Employer; or

 (v) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Employer or their Affiliates to terminate employment with Employer or their
Affiliates. 
 Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be read to prohibit an investment described in the last sentence of Section 1.2. 
 2.2 NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION;
NON-DISPARAGEMENT. During the Term and at any time thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be otherwise required by
applicable law, Executive shall not, without the written consent of the Boards of Directors of Employer, or a person authorized thereby, communicate, furnish, divulge or disclose to any Person, other than an employee of Employer or an Affiliate
thereof, or a Person to whom communication or disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an employee of Employer, any Confidential Information obtained by Executive
while in the employ of Employer or any Affiliate, unless and until such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of such disclosure. Executive shall use Executive’s best efforts to prevent the removal of any Confidential
Information from the premises of Employer or any of their Affiliates, except as required in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties as an employee of Employer. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) all Confidential
Information (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or developed by Executive during the Term belongs exclusively to Employer and not to him; (ii) that Confidential Information is intended to provide rights to Employer in
addition to, not in lieu of, those rights Employer and their Affiliates have under the common law and applicable statutes for the protection of trade secrets and confidential information; and (iii) that Confidential Information includes
information and materials that may not be explicitly identified or marked as confidential or proprietary. In addition, during the Term and at any time thereafter, Executive shall not make any disparaging remarks, or any remarks that could reasonably
be construed as disparaging, regarding Employer or any of their Affiliates, or their officers, directors, employees, partners, or agents. Executive shall not take any action or provide information or issue statements, to the media or otherwise, or
cause anyone else to take any action or provide information or issue statements, to the media or otherwise, regarding Employer or any of their Affiliates or their officers, directors, employees, partners, or agents.

 2.3 USE OF UNAUTHORIZED
SOFTWARE. During the Term, Executive shall not knowingly load any unauthorized software into Executive’s computer (whether personal or owned by Employer). Executive may request that Employer
purchase, register and install certain software or other digital intellectual property, but Executive may not copy or install such software or intellectual property himself. Executive acknowledges that certain software and digital intellectual
property is Confidential Information of Employer and Executive agrees, in accordance with Section 2.2, to keep such software and intellectual property confidential and not to use it except in furtherance of Employer’s Business or the
operations of Employer or its Affiliates. 
 2.4 REMOVAL OF
MATERIALS. During the Term and at any time thereafter, and except as may be required or deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an
employee of Employer, Executive shall not copy, dispose of or remove from Employer or their Affiliates any depositor, customer or client lists, software, computer programs or other digital intellectual property, books, records, forms, data, manuals,
handbooks or any other papers or writings relating to the Business or the operations of Employer or their Affiliates. 
 2.5
WORK PRODUCT. Employer alone shall be entitled to all benefits, profits and results arising from or incidental to Executive’s Work Product (as defined in this section 2.5). To the
greatest extent possible, any work product, property, data, documentation, inventions or information or materials prepared, conceived, discovered, developed or created by Executive in connection with performing Executive’s responsibilities
during the Term (“Work Product”) shall be deemed to be “work made for hire” as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.A.§ 101 et seq., as amended, and owned exclusively by Employer. Executive hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably transfers and assigns to Employer all intellectual property or other rights, title and interest Executive may currently have (or in the future may have) by operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product.
Executive agrees to execute and deliver to Employer any transfers, assignments, documents or other instruments which may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to vest complete title and ownership of any Work Product and all associated rights
exclusively in Employer. Employer shall have the right to adapt, change, revise, delete from, add to and/or rearrange the Work Product or any part thereof written or created by Executive, and to combine the same with other works to any extent, and
to change or substitute the title thereof, and in this connection Executive hereby waives the “moral rights” of authors as that term is commonly understood throughout the world including, without limitation, any similar rights or
principles of law which Executive may now or later have by virtue of the law of any locality, state, nation, treaty, convention or other source. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation in addition to
that provided for in this Agreement for any exercise by Employer of its rights set forth in this Section 2.5. In the event any Work Product qualifies for protection under the United States Patent Act, 35 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq., as
amended, and Executive agrees to bear the cost of seeking a patent from the U.S. Patent Office, Employer agrees, upon the issuance of such patent and upon receipt from Executive of reimbursement of all costs and expenses related to obtaining such
patent, to assign the patent to Executive. Executive hereby grants to Employer a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to any such patent obtained by Executive in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 2.6 INTERPRETATION; REMEDIES. Consistent with Section 3.8 of
this Agreement, the covenants contained in this Section 2 (the “Covenants”) shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law and each of the
Covenants is severable and independently enforceable without reference to the enforceability of any other Covenants. Further, if any provision of the Covenants or of this Section 2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overbroad as
written, Executive specifically agrees that the court should modify such provision in order to make it enforceable, and that a court should view each such provision as severable and enforce those severable provisions deemed reasonable by such court.
Executive agrees that the restraints imposed by this Section 2 are fair and necessary to prevent Executive from unfairly taking advantage of contacts established, nurtured, serviced, enhanced or promoted and knowledge gained during
Executive’s employment with Employer and their Affiliates, and are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of Employer and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable with respect to the activities
prohibited, the duration thereof, the Restricted Area, the scope thereof, and the effect thereof on Executive and the general public. Executive acknowledges that the Covenants will not cause an undue burden on Executive. Executive further
acknowledges that violation of any one or more of the Covenants would immeasurably and irreparably damage Employer and their Affiliates, and, accordingly, Executive agrees that for any violation or threatened violation of any of such Covenants,
Employer shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it, at law or otherwise (including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Executive), be entitled to specific performance and an injunction to be issued by any
court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining Executive from committing any violation or threatened violation of the Covenants. Executive hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and agrees to submit to the equitable
jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction, without reference to whether Executive resides or does business in that jurisdiction at the time such injunction is sought or entered. 
 2.7 NOTICE OF COVENANTS. Executive agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other Person
during the Term or during the two-year period following the termination of his employment with Employer, Executive shall provide Employer with written notice of his intent to accept such employment, which notice shall include the name of the
prospective employer, the business engaged in or to be engaged in by the prospective employer, and the position Executive intends to accept with the prospective employer. In addition, Executive shall provide such prospective employer with written
notice of the existence of this Agreement and the Covenants.

law. Accordingly, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the scope and/or operation of any provision of this Agreement is too broad to be enforced as written, Employer and Executive intend that the court should reform such provision to
such narrower scope and/or operation as it determines to be enforceable. If, however, any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future law, and not subject to reformation, then (i) such
provision shall be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision was never a part of this Agreement, and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and

State of North Carolina, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Executive and Employer irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts and Executive hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina.

 3.13 CODE
SECTION 409A. 
 a. In General. To the extent applicable, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement comply
with Section 409A of the Code and all regulations, guidance, or other interpretative authority thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption or exclusion therefrom. The parties hereby agree that this Agreement shall be construed
in a manner to comply with Section 409A and that should any provision be found not in compliance with Section 409A, the parties are hereby contractually obligated to execute any and all amendments to this Agreement deemed necessary and
required by legal counsel for Employer to achieve compliance with Section 409A. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, Executive irrevocably waives any objections Executive may have to the amendments required by Section 409A.

 b. Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s
“separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and the Company’s specified employee identification policy) and if any payment,
reimbursement and/or in-kind benefit that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) is deemed to be triggered by Executive’s separation from service, then, to the extent one or more exceptions to
Section 409A are inapplicable (including, without limitation, the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) relating to separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service and its requirement that
installments must be paid no later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year in which such an employee incurs the involuntary separation from service), all payments, reimbursements, and in-kind benefits that constitute
nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) to Executive shall not be paid or provided to Executive during the six- (6-) month period following Executive’s separation from service, and (i) such postponed
payment and/or reimbursement/in-kind amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service; (ii) any amounts payable to
Executive after the expiration of such six- (6-) month period shall continue to be paid to Executive in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that any group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental
care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group executive benefit plan or program or any lump sum cash out thereof is nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of
Section 409A), Executive shall pay for such benefits from his Termination Date until the first day of the seventh month following the month of Executive’s separation from service, at which time the Company shall reimburse Executive for
such payments. If Executive dies during such six- (6-) month period and prior to the payment of such postponed amounts of nonqualified deferred compensation, only the amount of nonqualified deferred compensation equal to the number of whole months
that Executive lived shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive’s estate or, if applicable, to Executive’s designated beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the date of Executive’s death. 
  

 - 19 - 








 c. Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits. Notwithstanding any other provision of the applicable
plans and programs, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement and the provision of benefits in kind during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of in-kind benefits in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursement
for an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense is incurred; (iii) the right to reimbursement or right to in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit; and (iv) each reimbursement payment or provision of in-kind benefit shall be one of a series of separate payments (and each shall be construed as a separate identified payment) for purposes of Section 409A.

 d. Miscellaneous Section 409A Compliance. All payments to be made to Executive upon a termination of employment may only be
made upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) of Executive; and phrases in this Agreement such as “termination of employment,” “Executive’s termination,” “terminated,”
and similar phrases shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, (i) each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment;
(ii) Executive may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment; and (iii) no acceleration of the time and form of payment of any nonqualified deferred compensation to Executive, or any portion thereof, shall be
permitted. 
 3.14 ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In the event any dispute shall arise between Executive and
Employer as to the terms or interpretations of this Agreement, whether instituted by formal legal proceedings or otherwise, including any action taken by Executive to enforce the terms of this Agreement or in defending against any action taken by
Employer, Employer shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from such dispute, proceeding or action, if Executive shall prevail in any action initiated by Executive or shall
have acted reasonably and in good faith in defending against any action initiated by Employer. Such reimbursement shall be paid within ten (10) days of Executive’s furnishing to Employer written evidence, which may be in the form, among
other things, of a cancelled check or receipt, of any costs or expenses incurred by Executive. Any such request for reimbursement by Executive shall be made no more frequently than at sixty (60) day intervals. 
 3.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all
obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall be joint and several. 
 3.16 NO EXCISE
TAX. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive and Employer agree that in no event shall the present value of all payments, distributions and benefits provided (including, without
limitation, the acceleration of exercisability of any stock option) to Executive or for Executive’s benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise which constitute a
“parachute payment” when aggregated with other payments, distributions, and 

  

 - 20 - 








 
benefits which constitute “parachute payments,” exceed two hundred ninety-nine percent (299%) of Executive’s “base amount.” As
used herein, “parachute payment” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, without regard to Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii); and “base amount” has the meaning ascribed to it in Code
Section 280G and the regulations thereunder as modified by EESA and Treasury guidance under Section 111 of EESA such that references to “change in ownership or control” are treated as references to an “applicable severance
from employment.” If the “present value”, as defined in Code Sections 280G(d)(4) and 1274(b)(2), of such aggregate “parachute payments” exceeds the 299% limitation set forth herein, such payments, distributions and
benefits shall be reduced by Employer in accordance with the order of priority set forth below so that such reduced amount will result in no portion of the payments, distributions and benefits being subject to Excise Tax. All calculations required
to be made under this Section 3.16 shall be made by any nationally recognized accounting firm which is BB&T’s outside auditor immediately prior to the event triggering the payment(s), distribution(s) and benefit(s) described above (the
“Accounting Firm”). BB&T shall cause the Accounting Firm to provide detailed supporting calculations to BB&T and Executive. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by BB&T. Such payments,
distributions and benefits will be reduced by Employer in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) first, “Full Credit Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order such that the
payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the reduction will be the first payment to be reduced until such payment is reduced to zero, and then the payment owed on the next latest date following occurrence of
the event triggering the reduction will be the second payment to be reduced until such payment is equal to zero, and so forth, until all such Full Credit Payments have been reduced to zero, and (ii) second, “Partial Credit
Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order in the same manner as “Full Credit Payments” are reduced. “Full Credit Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or
payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the amount of a “parachute payment” by one dollar ($1.00). “Partial Credit
Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the amount of a parachute
payment by an amount that is less than one dollar ($1.00). For clarification purposes only, a “Partial Credit Payment” would include a stock option as to which vesting is accelerated upon an event that triggers the reduction, where the in
the money value of the option exceeds the value of the option acceleration that is added to the parachute payment. 
 3.17
RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are a part of this Agreement. 
  

	4.	TARP CPP RESTRICTIONS. 

 Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as Employer is a participant in the CPP, and for so long as and to the extent the CPP imposes compensation limitations on employees that include Executive, the following provisions shall
apply: 
 4.1 GENERAL RESTRICTIONS 
 4.1.1 No Golden Parachute Payments. Employer and their Affiliates are prohibited from making any “golden parachute
payment” (within the meaning of Section 111(b)(2)(C) of EESA) to Executive during any “CPP Covered Period”. As used in this Agreement, the term “CPP Covered Period” is any period during which
(A) Executive is a “senior executive officer” (within the meaning of Section 111(b)(3) of EESA), and (B) Treasury holds any equity or debt acquired from Employer in the CPP. Executive acknowledges the foregoing and
agrees that any compensation payable, whether under the Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 4.1.3 below) or otherwise, that would constitute a “golden parachute payment” shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that such
compensation does not violate such “golden parachute payment” prohibition. 
  

 - 21 - 








 4.1.2 Recovery of Bonus and Incentive Compensation. To the extent required by
Section 111(b) of EESA, any bonus and incentive compensation paid to Executive during any CPP Covered Period is subject to recovery or “clawback” by Employer if such bonus and incentive compensation were based on materially inaccurate
financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. Executive acknowledges the foregoing and agrees to repay Employer any bonuses and incentive compensation paid to Executive that were based on materially inaccurate
financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. 
 4.1.3 Compensation Program
Amendments. To the extent required by Section 111(b) of EESA, each of Employer’s and their Affiliates’ compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute, severance
and employment agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with respect to which Executive is a participant or otherwise entitled to payments is hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of Sections
4.1.1 and 4.1.2 above. In addition, Employer is required to review its Benefit Plans to ensure that such Benefit Plans do not encourage Executive and other senior executive officers of Employer to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten
the value of Employer. To the extent any such review requires revisions to any Benefit Plan with respect to which Executive is a participant, Executive and Employer agree that Employer shall make, without additional consent or approval of Executive,
such changes promptly and in good faith. 
 4.2 AGREEMENT TO SIGN WAIVER
AND RELEASE. Upon Employer’s request, Executive agrees to execute and deliver all waivers and releases required by Treasury relating to TARP, CPP, and Employer’s participation in the CPP, including,
without limitation, waivers and releases that release Treasury from any claims that Executive may otherwise have as a result of Treasury’s issuance of regulations that modify or eliminate provisions and terms of Employer’s employee benefit
plans, arrangements and agreements (including, without limitation, the Benefit Plans) in which Executive participates or otherwise receives, or is or will be entitled to receive, benefits.
