 3. Employment. During the Term (as defined in subparagraph m of Section 2 and

shall also serve on such committees and task forces of BB&T and the Employer, including, without limitation, the Executive Management Committee of BB&T, as he may be appointed from time to time by BB&T, the Employer or their Boards of
Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to appoint or reappoint the Employee to any committee or task force of BB&T or the Employer be treated as a breach of this Agreement by BB&T or the Employer, or as a
termination of the employment of the Employee. The Employee hereby accepts and agrees to such employment, subject to the general supervision and pursuant to the orders, advice, and direction of the Employer, BB&T and their Boards of Directors.
The Employee shall perform such duties as are customarily performed by one holding such positions in other same or similar businesses or enterprises as that engaged in by the Employer and BB&T, and shall also additionally render such other
services and duties as may be reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the Employer or BB&T, consistent with his positions. 
 4. Term of Employment. The Term shall commence as of January 1, 2002, and shall terminate on December 31, 2006, unless extended or shortened as provided in this Agreement. As of the first day of each calendar month
commencing February 1, 2002, the Term shall be automatically extended, without any further action by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee, for an additional calendar month; provided, however, that on any one month anniversary date BB&T,
the Employer or the Employee may serve notice to the other parties to fix the Term to a definite five-year 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 the Employee attains age sixty-five (65). The Term, as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 4, or, as it may be shortened in accordance with
Section 7 or 8, is hereinafter referred to as the “Term.” 
 5. Compensation. 
 a. For all services rendered by the Employee to the Employer and BB&T under this Agreement, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the
Employee, during the Term, a minimum annual base salary at a rate not less than $312,000, payable in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures of the Employer or BB&T applicable to all officers. Any salary increase payable to
the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the Employer’s or BB&T’s annual salary plan, and shall be based on the Employer’s and/or BB&T’s performance and the performance of the Employee. 
 b. The Employee shall continue to participate in any bonus or incentive plans, whether any such plan provides for awards in cash or
securities, made available to officers similarly situated to the Employee, as such plan or plans may be modified from time to time, or such other similar plans for which the Employee may become eligible and designated a participant. 
  

 5 

 c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the
Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits
such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers. 
 d. If, during the Term, the Employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and retires, the Employee shall be eligible to
participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees at the time. During the Compensation Continuance Period, the Employee shall be deemed to be an “active employee” of the Employer for purposes of
participating in the Employer’s or BB&T’s health care plan and for purposes of satisfying any age and service requirements under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program. Thus, if the Employee has not
satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at
the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination
Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins
and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 6. Covenants of the Employee. 
 a. To the extent and subject to the limitations provided in the following subsections of this Section 6 (whichever subsection may be
applicable), upon termination of the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other individual
or representative capacity whatsoever, engage in the banking and financial services business, which includes, but it is not limited to, consumer, savings, commercial banking and the insurance and trust businesses, or the savings and loan or mortgage
banking business, or any other business in which the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates are engaged, anywhere in the States of North Carolina and South Carolina and in any county outside of North Carolina and South Carolina contiguous to North
Carolina or South Carolina, nor shall the Employee solicit, or assist any other Person in so soliciting, any depositors or customers of the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, or induce any then or former employees to terminate their employment
with the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, except that this Section 6a shall not be read to prohibit the investment described in the last sentence of Section 9. 
 b. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason at any time, the Employee shall be
subject to the non-competition and non- solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s 

  

 6 

 
Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the
non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. However, if the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after a MOE Revocation (as defined in Section 2b), subparagraph c below shall apply, not this subparagraph b. 
 c. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation, the Employee shall not
be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 d. If the Employee terminates his
employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Good Reason at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall
be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 e. If the employment of the
Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T at any time for Just Cause, the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 f. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause at any time (except
within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the
earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or
non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non- solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 g. During the Term and thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be
otherwise required by applicable law, the Employee shall not, without the written consent of the Boards of Directors of the Employer and BB&T, or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Employer,
BB&T or an Affiliate thereof, or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Employee of his duties as an employee of the Employer or BB&T, any Confidential Information
obtained by him while in the employ of the Employer or BB&T, unless such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of such disclosure. 
 h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their
enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are 

  

 7 

 
necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable
in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee
agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants. 
 7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential
functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s
notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the
Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been
uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve
(12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been
disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5 a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter,
the Employee shall receive compensation to which he is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. In the event a dispute arises between the Employee and the Employer or BB&T concerning the
Employee’s physical or mental disability or ability to continue or return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid, the Employee shall submit, at the expense of the Employer and BB&T, to examination by a competent physician mutually
agreeable to the parties, and his opinion as to the Employee’s capability to so perform shall be final and binding. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of disability, the Term shall end. 
 8. Termination; Termination Compensation and Other Post Termination Benefits. 
 a. If the Employee shall die during the Term, this Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder shall automatically terminate on
the date of death, which date shall be his Termination Date, and, thus, the last day of the Term. 
 b. The Employer or
BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the employment of the Employee is
terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause, the Employee shall have no right to receive compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under
this Agreement for any period after such termination. 
  

 8 

 c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee’s employment under this
Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the Employer or BB&T terminates the employment of the Employee under this Agreement pursuant to this
subparagraph c, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: 
 (i) The Employee shall receive
Termination Compensation each month during the period described in subparagraph (ii) below, subject, however, to the Employee’s compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for a one-year period
following the Employee’s Termination Date. 
 (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month
until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month
next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty- month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable
at the time compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5 a. 
 (iii) The Employer and
BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
 (iv) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as
shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. 
 (v)
The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee” of the 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 the Employer generally are eligible, on the same terms as were in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, either under
the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 (vi)
The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. 
  

 9 

 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph c shall be paid by the Employer or
BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the
Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8c from and after the date of such breach. 
 d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s
death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee
terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: 
 (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending
on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which
began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. 
 (ii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any
employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
 (iii) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to
exceed $20,000. 
 (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee” of
the 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 the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, 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 the Employer, than at the date of the
Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. 
 (v) The Employee shall be entitled to the
special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. 
  

 10 

 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or
BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates
his employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non- competition and
non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be
entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach. 
 Should the
circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control. 
 e. If the Employee terminates his 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), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement
benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination. 
 f. The Employee is a
participant in the BB&T Corporation Target Pension Plan (the “SERP”). The SERP was formerly known as the Southern National 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 the Employee is
terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his 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 the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the
Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The SERP Retirement Benefit (as
defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of 

  

 11 

 
any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of
this subparagraph f shall prevail. 
 (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the
following special provisions: 
 (A) In determining the Employee’s Credited Service (as defined in the SERP) for purposes of the SERP,
including for purposes of determining his rights to elect early retirement under the SERP, the Compensation Continuance Period shall be deemed to be Credited Service for purposes of the SERP. The Employee shall be credited with one year of service
for Credited Service purposes for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. If the Employee has not satisfied as of the beginning of the Compensation Continuance Period any service requirement for
purposes of determining his eligibility for benefits under the SERP, he will be deemed to have satisfied such service requirement as of that day during the Compensation Continuance Period on which he meets the service requirement, including the
additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 (B) The Early Retirement Date of the Employee for purposes
of the SERP shall be the date as of which the Employee is credited with his fifteenth year of Credited Service (including the additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period). The Employee need not satisfy any age
requirement to be eligible to receive a SERP Retirement Benefit. 
 (C) Payment of the SERP Retirement Benefit to the Employee may not
commence earlier than the first day of the month next following the later of (i) the date the Employee terminates his employment or (ii) the date the Employee attains his fifty-fifth birthday. For purposes of (i) above, the Employee,
if receiving Termination Compensation, shall be deemed to terminate his employment as of the last day of the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 (D) In determining the SERP Retirement Benefit of the Employee under the SERP, the Monthly Earnings (as described in the SERP) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Monthly Earnings as determined
under the SERP as of the date of his termination of employment and (2) is the monthly amount of his Termination Compensation (if any).

 (E) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Employer
or BB&T or by the Employee for any reason other than Just Cause within the twelve- month period next following a Change of Control of the Employer or BB&T or, if later, the ninety (90) day period next following a MOE Revocation, the
Employee will not be subject to the non- competition provisions of the SERP. 
 Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP
calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f. 
 g. In
receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced
or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment. 
 h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to
the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other
plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the
net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent
auditors and shall equal the sum of the following: 
 (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess
parachute payments; 
 (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the
Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and 
 (3) Any state income or
other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. 
 For purposes of determining the
amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the
Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula: 
 (1 -
(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). 
  

 13 

 In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state
income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment. 
 The
Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before
such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment
(together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the
Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the
time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed
on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of
the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time
of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The
parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic
position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed. 
 i. A termination of the Employee’s employment by BB&T, the Employer
or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.

 9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the
business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T 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
the Employee, and the Employee 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 the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the 
  

 14 

 
right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T 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. 
 10. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be
invalid by any competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein. 
 11. Assignment Prohibited. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and none of the parties may assign or delegate any of his or its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent
of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable under this Agreement upon his death. 
 12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary
or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect. 
 13. Headings. The headings of paragraphs and
sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 14. Governing Law. The parties intend that this Agreement and the performance hereunder and all suits and special proceedings hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and under and pursuant to the
laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof and that in any action, special proceeding or other proceeding that may be brought arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement, the laws
of the State of North Carolina shall be applicable and shall govern to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be instituted. 
 15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Employee and his heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives and BB&T, the Employer and their permitted successors and assigns. 
 16.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing (including
telefacsimile transmission or similar writing) 
  

 15

 R E C I T A
L S: 
 BB&T, the Employer and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 2a) are engaged in the banking and financial
services business. The Employee is experienced in, and knowledgeable concerning, the material aspects of such business. The Employee heretofore has been employed as a Senior Executive Vice President of both BB&T and the Employer pursuant to the
terms of an Employment Agreement dated April 15, 1996, as subsequently amended (the “Predecessor Agreement”). BB&T and the Employer desire to continue to employ the Employee as a Senior Executive Vice President, and the Employee
desires to continue to be employed by BB&T and the Employer in each such capacity. Furthermore, BB&T and the Employer desire to continue to provide the Employee certain disability, death, severance and supplemental retirement benefits in
addition to those provided by the employee benefit plans of BB&T and the Employer. BB&T, the Employer and the Employee desire to amend and restate the Predecessor Agreement in order to: (i) incorporate all amendments made to the
Predecessor Agreement; and (ii) clarify and more clearly state the terms of their existing understanding. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein and the compensation BB&T and the Employer agree herein to pay the Employee, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, BB&T, the Employer and the Employee agree as follows: 
 1. Effect of Prior Agreements. This Agreement
expresses the whole and entire agreement between the parties with reference to the employment and service of the Employee and supersedes and replaces any prior employment agreements (including, without limitation, the Predecessor Agreement),
understandings or arrangements (whether written or oral) among BB&T, the Employer and the Employee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Employee agrees that this Agreement satisfies any rights he may have had under any prior agreement or
understanding (including, without limitation, the Predecessor Agreement) with the Employer and BB&T with respect to his employment by the Employer and BB&T. 
 2. Definitions. Wherever used in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Recitals, Sections 1 and 2, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below (unless otherwise indicated by the context): 
 a. “Affiliate” means
a Person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Person. 

 b. “Change of Control” means the earliest of the following dates:

 (i) the date any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) together with its Affiliates, excluding employee benefit plans of the Employer or BB&T, is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) of securities of the Employer or BB&T representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer’s or BB&T’s then outstanding securities (excluding the acquisition of securities of the
Employer by an entity at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding voting securities of which are, directly or indirectly, beneficially owned by BB&T); or 
 (ii) the date, when as a result of a tender offer or exchange offer for the purchase of securities of BB&T (other than such an offer
by BB&T for its own securities), or as a result of a proxy contest, merger, share exchange, consolidation or sale of assets, or as a result of any combination of the foregoing, individuals who at the beginning of any two-year period during the
Term constitute BB&T’s Board of Directors, plus new directors whose election or nomination for election by BB&T’s shareholders is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office who were directors at the
beginning of such two-year period (“Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason during such two-year period to constitute at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of such Board of Directors; or 
 (iii) the date the shareholders of BB&T approve a merger, share exchange or consolidation of BB&T with any other corporation or
entity regardless of which entity is the survivor, other than a merger, share exchange or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of BB&T outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of BB&T or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 
 (iv) the date the shareholders of BB&T approve a plan of complete
liquidation or winding-up of BB&T or an agreement for the sale or disposition by BB&T of all or substantially all of BB&T’s assets; or 
 (v) the date of any event (other than a “merger of equals” as described in this subparagraph b) which BB&T’s Board of Directors determines should constitute a Change of Control. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Change in Control” shall not include any event which the Board of Directors of BB&T (or, if the event described in
clause (ii) above has occurred, a majority of the Continuing Directors), prior to the occurrence of such event, specifically 

  

 2 

 
determines, for the purpose of this Agreement or employment agreements with other executives that contain substantially similar provisions, is a “merger
of equals” (regardless of the form of the transaction), unless a majority of the Continuing Directors revokes such specific determination within one year after occurrence of the event that otherwise would constitute a Change in Control (a
“MOE Revocation”). The parties to this Agreement agree that any determination concerning whether a transaction is a “merger of equals” shall be solely within the discretion of the Board of Directors of BB&T or a majority of
the Continuing Directors, as the case may be.

their Affiliates which is not public information. 
 h. “Excise Tax” means the excise tax on excess parachute
payments under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor or similar provision thereof), including any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax. 
 i. “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events without the Employee’s express written consent:

 (i) the assignment to the Employee of duties inconsistent with the position and status of the offices and positions of the
Employer and/or BB&T held by the Employee as of January 1, 2002; or 
 (ii) a reduction by the Employer or BB&T
in the Employee’s pay grade or annual base salary as then in effect; or 
 (iii) the exclusion of the Employee from
participation in the Employer’s or BB&T’s employee benefit plans in effect as of, or adopted or implemented on or after, January 1, 2002, as the same may be improved or enhanced from time to time during the Term; or

from the Employer or BB&T 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 the Employee,
shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that the Employee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Employer and BB&T.

 k. “Pension Plan” means the BB&T Corporation Pension Plan, a tax qualified defined benefit pension
plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. 
 l. “Person” means any individual, person, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, corporation, company, firm, group or other entity.

these purposes amounts earned or payable whether or not deferred) received by the Employee during any one of the five (5) calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which falls his Termination Date; provided, that if the cash
compensation received by the Employee during the Termination Year exceeds the highest amount of the annual cash compensation received by him during any one of the immediately preceding five (5) calendar years, the cash compensation received by
the Employee during the Termination Year shall be deemed to be his highest amount of annual cash compensation. 
 o.
“Termination Date” means the date the Employee’s employment is terminated. 
 p. “Termination
Year” means the calendar year in which falls the Employee’s Termination Date. 
  

 4 

 3. Employment. During the Term (as defined in subparagraph m of Section 2 and
Section 4), the Employee shall be employed as a Senior Executive Vice President of both BB&T and the Employer. The Employee shall have such duties and responsibilities as are commensurate with each such position. The Employee shall also
serve on such committees and task forces of BB&T and the Employer, including, without limitation, the Executive Management Committee of BB&T, as he may be appointed from time to time by BB&T, the Employer or their Boards of Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to appoint or reappoint the Employee to any committee or task force of BB&T or the Employer be treated as a breach of this Agreement by BB&T or the Employer, or as a termination of
the employment of the Employee. The Employee hereby accepts and agrees to such employment, subject to the general supervision and pursuant to the orders, advice, and direction of the Employer, BB&T and their Boards of Directors. The Employee
shall perform such duties as are customarily performed by one holding such positions in other same or similar businesses or enterprises as that engaged in by the Employer and BB&T, and shall also additionally render such other services and
duties as may be reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the Employer or BB&T, consistent with his positions. 
 4.
Term of Employment. The Term shall commence as of January 1, 2002, and shall terminate on December 31, 2006, unless extended or shortened as provided in this Agreement. As of the first day of each calendar month commencing
February 1, 2002, the Term shall be automatically extended, without any further action by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee, for an additional calendar month; provided, however, that on any one month anniversary date BB&T, the Employer
or the Employee may serve notice to the other parties to fix the Term to a definite five-year 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 the Employee attains age sixty-five (65). The Term, as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 4, or, as it may be shortened in accordance with Section 7 or 8, is
hereinafter referred to as the “Term.” 
 5. Compensation. 
 a. For all services rendered by the Employee to the Employer and BB&T under this Agreement, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the
Employee, during the Term, a minimum annual base salary at a rate not less than $246,000, payable in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures of the Employer or BB&T applicable to all officers. Any salary increase payable to
the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the Employer’s or BB&T’s annual salary plan, and shall be based on the Employer’s and/or BB&T’s performance and the performance of the Employee. 
 b. The Employee shall continue to participate in any bonus or incentive plans, whether any such plan provides for awards in cash or
securities, made available to officers similarly situated to the Employee, as such plan or plans may be modified from time to time, or such other similar plans for which the Employee may become eligible and designated a participant. 
  

 5 

 c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the
Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits
such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers. 
 d. If, during the Term, the Employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and retires, the Employee shall be eligible to
participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees at the time. During the Compensation Continuance Period, the Employee shall be deemed to be an “active employee” of the Employer for purposes of
participating in the Employer’s or BB&T’s health care plan and for purposes of satisfying any age and service requirements under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program. Thus, if the Employee has not
satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at
the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination
Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins
and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 6. Covenants of the Employee. 
 a. To the extent and subject to the limitations provided in the following subsections of this Section 6 (whichever subsection may be
applicable), upon termination of the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other individual
or representative capacity whatsoever, engage in the banking and financial services business, which includes, but it is not limited to, consumer, savings, commercial banking and the insurance and trust businesses, or the savings and loan or mortgage
banking business, or any other business in which the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates are engaged, anywhere in the States of North Carolina and South Carolina and in any county outside of North Carolina and South Carolina contiguous to North
Carolina or South Carolina, nor shall the Employee solicit, or assist any other Person in so soliciting, any depositors or customers of the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, or induce any then or former employees to terminate their employment
with the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, except that this Section 6a shall not be read to prohibit the investment described in the last sentence of Section 9. 
 b. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason at any time, the Employee shall be
subject to the non-competition and non- solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any
further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. However, if the Employee terminates his employment with the 

  

 6 

 
Employer or BB&T for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE
Revocation (as defined in Section 2b), subparagraph c below shall apply, not this subparagraph b. 
 c. If the Employee
terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation, the Employee shall not be subject to the
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 d. If the Employee terminates his employment with the
Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Good Reason at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 e. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by
the Employer or BB&T at any time for Just Cause, the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 f. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause at any time (except
within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the
earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or
non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non- solicitation provisions of Section 6a. 
 g. During the Term and thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be
otherwise required by applicable law, the Employee shall not, without the written consent of the Boards of Directors of the Employer and BB&T, or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Employer,
BB&T or an Affiliate thereof, or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Employee of his duties as an employee of the Employer or BB&T, any Confidential Information
obtained by him while in the employ of the Employer or BB&T, unless such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of such disclosure. 
 h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their
enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every
one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a 

  

 7 

 
measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable
jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants. 
 7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months,
his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive
months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties
hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his
employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all
compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a,
inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter, the Employee shall receive compensation to which he is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of
the Employer or BB&T. In the event a dispute arises between the Employee and the Employer or BB&T concerning the Employee’s physical or mental disability or ability to continue or return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid,
the Employee shall submit, at the expense of the Employer and BB&T, to examination by a competent physician mutually agreeable to the parties, and his opinion as to the Employee’s capability to so perform shall be final and binding. Upon
termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of disability, the Term shall end. 
 8. Termination; Termination Compensation
and Other Post Termination Benefits. 
 a. If the Employee shall die during the Term, this Agreement and the
employment relationship hereunder shall automatically terminate on the date of death, which date shall be his Termination Date, and, thus, the last day of the Term. 
 b. The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Just
Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause, the Employee shall have no right to receive compensation (such as
Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination. 
  

 8 

 c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee’s employment under this
Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the Employer or BB&T terminates the employment of the Employee under this Agreement pursuant to this
subparagraph c, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: 
 (i) The Employee shall receive
Termination Compensation each month during the period described in subparagraph (ii) below, subject, however, to the Employee’s compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for a one-year period
following the Employee’s Termination Date. 
 (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month
until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month
next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable
at the time compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5 a. 
 (iii) The Employer and
BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
 (iv) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as
shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. 
 (v)
The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee” of the 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 the Employer generally are eligible, on the same terms as were in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, either under
the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period. 
 (vi)
The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. 
 The Termination Compensation and other benefits
provided for in this subparagraph c shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures 

  

 9 

 
in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his
Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8c from and after the date of such breach. 
 d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s
death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee
terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: 
 (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending
on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which
began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. 
 (ii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any
employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
 (iii) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to
exceed $20,000. 
 (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee” of
the 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 the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, 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 the Employer, than at the date of the
Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. 
  

 10 

 (v) The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in
subparagraph f below. 
 The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in
accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates his
employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non- competition and non-solicitation
provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive
any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach. 
 Should the circumstances of the
termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control. 
 e. If the Employee terminates his 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), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period
after such termination. 
 f. The Employee 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 the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for
Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his 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 the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or
the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee 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 subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. 
  

 11 

 (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the
following special provisions: 
 (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation
Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the
Pension Plan shall, however, apply. 
 (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of
(1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. 
 Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph
f. 
 g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment. 
 h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall
cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal
the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following: 
 (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; 
 (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up
Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and 
  

 12 

 (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up
Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. 
 For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay
federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate
determined in accordance with the following formula: 
 ( 1 - (highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for
individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). 
 In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on
the Gross-Up Payment. 
 The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required
to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by
BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be
determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account
hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment
attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax
and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder
at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of
such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise
Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed. 
 i. A termination of the Employee’s employment by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination. 
  

 13 

 9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention,
knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T 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 the Employee, and the Employee 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 the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business
of the Employer, BB&T 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. 
 10. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement
are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein. 
 11. Assignment Prohibited. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and none of the parties may assign or delegate any of
his or its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit
payable under this Agreement upon his death. 
 12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or
required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar
process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect. 
 13. Headings. The headings of paragraphs and sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 14. Governing Law. The parties intend that this Agreement and the performance hereunder and all suits and
special proceedings hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and under and pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof and that in any action, special proceeding or other
proceeding that may be brought arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement, the laws of the State of North Carolina shall be applicable and shall govern to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, without regard to the
jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be instituted. 
  

 14 

 15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the
Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives and BB&T, the Employer and their permitted successors and assigns. 
 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
