 Exhibit 10.2 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ 
 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 BB&T CORPORATION 
 THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT made this thirty-first day of «Date», by and between BB&T Corporation, a North Carolina corporation, (“BB&T”) for itself and its
subsidiaries and «FirstName» «MI» «LastName» a Non-Employee Director of BB&T (“Participant”). 
 BB&T desires to carry out the purposes of the Non-employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan adopted by the BB&T Board of Directors on December 19, 1991 and amended and restated as of
October 22, 1996 and January 1, 1997, and approved by its shareholders thereafter (the “Plan”), by affording the Participant an opportunity to purchase its common stock, $5.00 par value per share (“BB&T Common
Stock” or the “Shares”) as hereinafter provided. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual
promises set forth below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Grant of Option 


BB&T hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of
«Shares» shares of BB&T Common Stock, (such number being subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 5 hereof), on the terms and conditions herein set forth. This Option grant is made pursuant to the terms and provisions of
the Plan and consistent with the election(s) made by the Participant required by paragraph 4.4 of the Plan, dealing with Participant’s election to receive all or a portion of Participant’s Retainer Fee and Meeting Fees (as defined in the
Plan) in the form of Options. 
 This Option shall entitle the Participant to purchase BB&T Common Stock from its authorized, unissued and
registered share reserve, such Shares being the subject of an effective registration statement filed by BB&T pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. 
 2. Purchase Price 
  

	 	(a)	 The purchase price of the BB&T Common Stock covered by the Option shall be equal to the market value of such Shares on the date that this Option is
granted, such market value to be determined by, and in accordance with the Plan. With respect to this Option, BB&T, through its 










	 	
Compensation Committee, has established the purchase price of the BB&T Common Stock covered by this Option to be
$             dollars per share in accordance with paragraph 4.5 of the plan. 

  

	 	(b)	The purchase price of the Shares as to which the Option may be exercised shall be paid in full in cash, check or by the Participant’s transfer to the order of
BB&T, of a sufficient number of shares of BB&T Common Stock then owned by the Participant and which are registered in the name of the Participant immediately prior to such transfer and have been so registered for no less than six
(6) months prior to such transfer, which total shares equal the amount of the purchase price as determined by the value of such BB&T Common Stock reported at the close of trading in such stock on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) as of the date that the purchase price is paid to BB&T by the Participant or, a combination of both cash and BB&T Common Stock as described above. In the event that a payment of the Option purchase price is made either in
whole or part, on a date wherein BB&T’s Common Stock has no reported closing price on the NYSE, the next preceding reported closing price of BB&T Common Stock on such exchange shall be used to determine the value of shares to be used
towards such payment. 

  

	 	(c)	The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Option except to the extent that one or more stock
certificates for such Shares shall have been delivered to him upon the due exercise of the Option. 

  

	3.	Term of Option 

  

	 	(a)	The terms of the Option shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the date hereof subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.5 of the
plan. The Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time as to any part or all of the Shares covered hereby; provided however, no Shares may be purchased under the provisions of this Option Agreement until the date which is six
(6) months from the date of grant and, provided further, that the Option may not be exercised as to less than 100 Shares at any one time, or as to the remaining Shares then purchasable under the Option if less than 100 shares, except to close
out Participant’s interest in the Plan. 









	4.	Transferability 


The Option shall not be transferable other than upon death, through a will or the laws of descent and distribution, except as may be
permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Except as otherwise permitted by the preceding sentence, during the lifetime of the Participant, the
Option may be exercised only by him or by the Participant’s legal representative in the event that the Participant becomes legally disabled as defined in the Plan. The Participant may designate a beneficiary to exercise the Option, upon his
death, provided that the designation is in accordance with Committee procedures. Except as specifically hereinabove authorized in this Section 4, the Option may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way; it shall not be
assignable by the operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of
any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect. The designation of a beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Plan does not constitute a transfer. 

 

	5.	Adjustments in Capital Structure 

 Subject to any required action by the shareholders of BB&T and the provisions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, the number of Shares of BB&T Common Stock subject to this Option, as
well as the purchase price of any Shares not yet purchased by Participant, shall be proportionately adjusted for (a) a division, combination or reclassification of the BB&T Common stock, or (b) a dividend payable in Shares of Common
Stock of BB&T. 
  

	6.	Method of Exercising Option

the parties shall not construe it as such. 

  

	 	(c)	Upon its expiration, the Option shall have no further force of effect and Participant shall have no further rights under the Option or to any Shares which have not been

state tax laws and such valuation affects any return or election of BB&T, Participant agrees that BB&T may determine such value and that Participant will observe any determination so made by BB&T in all returns and elections filed by
Participant. In the event that BB&T or its subsidiaries are required by applicable law to collect any withholding, payroll or similar taxes by reason of the exercise of the Option, Participant agrees that BB&T or its subsidiaries may
