The Committee shall make the following adjustments to the calculation of the TSR Rank or the composition of the Peer Group during the Performance Period as follows: (1) if a member of the Peer Group is acquired by another company, or during the Performance Period announces that it will be acquired by another company, then the acquired Peer Group company will be moved to a position below the lowest ranked peer; (2) if a member of the Peer Group sells, spins-off, or disposes of a portion of its business, then such Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group for the Performance Period unless such disposition(s) results in the disposition of more than 50% of such company's total assets during the Performance Period, in which case it will be moved to a position below the lowest ranked peer; (3) if a member of the Peer Group acquires another company, the acquiring Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group; (4) if a member of the Peer Group is delisted on all major stock exchanges, such delisted company will be moved to a position below the lowest ranked peer; (5) to the extent that SunTrust and/or any member of the Peer Group split its stock or declare a distribution of shares, such company's TSR performance will be appropriately adjusted for the stock split or share distribution so as not to give an advantage or disadvantage to such company by comparison to the other companies; (6) members of the Peer Group that file for bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization during the Performance Period will moved to a position below the lowest ranked peer; and (7) the Committee shall have the authority to make other appropriate adjustments in response to a change in circumstances that results in a member of the Peer Group no longer satisfying the criteria for which such member was originally selected. The Committee shall calculate the beginning and ending TSR values based on the average of the closing prices of the applicable company's stock for the 20 trading days prior to and including the beginning or ending date, as applicable, of the Performance Period. 

(d) Combination of ROTCE and TSR performance may never exceed 150% of target.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

§4.  SUNTRUST CHANGE IN CONTROL. 

(a) In the event that a Change in Control (as defined in the SunTrust Banks, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan) occurs prior to the Vesting Date and on or prior to any vesting date set forth in §5, then the number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights), as determined in §4(b) below, shall be vested upon the earlier of: (i) the Vesting Date, provided that the Grantee has remained in continuous employment with SunTrust or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date; or (ii) the date of the Grantee's termination of employment with SunTrust and its Subsidiaries as a result of: (A) an involuntary termination by SunTrust that does not result from the Grantee's death or Disability and does not constitute a Termination for Cause; (B) the Grantee's death or Disability; (C) termination of the Grantee due to Retirement; or (D) a Termination for Good Reason by the Grantee. 

(b) The number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) that shall vest will be equal to the sum of (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested (if any) if the Performance Period ended on the date of the Change in Control (based on the actual achievement in Minimum Performance Hurdle and actual achievement under the ROTCE Matrix adjusted by the TSR Modifier through the date of the Change in Control) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of such Change in Control, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in the Performance Period; plus (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested assuming SunTrust had achieved Target Performance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the date of such Change in Control through the last day of the Performance Period, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in the Performance Period. In the event of such Change in Control, any Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) subject to this Unit Agreement that do not vest pursuant to this §4 shall terminate and be completely forfeited on the date of such termination of the Grantee's employment. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Grantee is covered by a Severance Plan on the date of a Change in Control that provides for more generous vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, such vesting provisions of the Severance Plan shall govern.

§5.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

(a) If prior to the Vesting Date and the date of a Change in Control, the Grantee's employment with SunTrust and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than those described in §5(b), §5(c) or §5(d), then the Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) subject to this Unit Agreement shall terminate and be completely forfeited on the date of such termination of the Grantee's employment.  Notwithstanding anything in this §5 to the contrary, if the Grantee is Terminated for Cause from SunTrust and its Subsidiaries prior to payment pursuant to §6, all of the Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) will immediately and automatically without any action on the part of the Grantee or SunTrust, be forfeited by the Grantee.

(b) Death or Disability.  If the Grantee's employment with SunTrust and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Vesting Date and the date of a Change in Control, as a result of the Grantee's (i) death, or (ii) Disability, then the  Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) shall vest immediately on the date of such termination.  The number of Restricted Stock Units, if any, that vest will be based on the number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) that would have vested (if any) if the Performance Period ended on such date and based on the actual performance achieved (or the Target Performance, if such termination occurs less than one (1) year after the first day of the Performance Period)).  In determining performance, the Committee shall consider all fiscal quarters completed prior to the date of death or Disability, and (1) prorate the Minimum Performance Hurdle based on the number of completed fiscal quarters compared to the total 3-year Performance Period, and (2) with respect to the ROTCE Matrix and TSR Modifier, determine actual performance, based on completed calendar quarters, from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of death or Disability.  In the event of such termination, any Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent) subject to this Unit Agreement that do not vest pursuant to this §5(b) shall terminate and be completely forfeited on such date.

(c) Reduction in Force.  If the Grantee’s employment with SunTrust and its Subsidiaries is involuntarily terminated prior to the Vesting Date and the date of a Change in Control, by reason of a reduction in force which results in the Grantee’s eligibility for payment of a severance benefit pursuant to the terms of the Severance Plan (including the requirement that the Grantee sign and not revoke the Severance Agreement, Waiver and Release required under such Plan), then a pro-rata number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, if any, based on the Grantee’s service completed from the first day of the Grant Date through the date of such termination of the Grantee’s employment. 

(d) Retirement.  If the Grantee's employment with SunTrust and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Vesting Date and the date of a Change in Control as a result of the Grantee's Retirement, then the number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) that would have vested based on the actual performance achieved as of the last day of the Performance Period 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(or, if a Change in Control occurs after such Retirement but prior to the end of the Performance Period, vesting will be based on the formula in §4(b)), shall, subject to §7(e) below, be fully vested. 

§6.  PAYMENT OF AWARD.
    
(a)    The number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) payable pursuant to this §6 (the “Vested Units”) shall be determined in accordance with §3, §4 and §5 above and,

	(b)
	In the event payment is made pursuant to sub-paragraph §6(a)(i)(A), §6(a)(i)(B), §6(a)(i)(C), §6(a)(ii)(A), or §6(a)(ii)(B), §6(a)(ii)(C) above, such payment shall be made within the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following the date of the applicable event.  In the event payment is made pursuant to sub-paragraphs §6(a)(i)(D) and §6(a)(ii)(D) above, such payment shall be made within  the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following  February 14, 2021 and February 14, 2022, as applicable.

	
		
	(c)
	Except as set forth below, the Vested Units shall be paid out in an equivalent number of shares of Stock; provided, however, the Grantee's right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash.  In the event the Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) vest following a Change in Control pursuant to §4, the Vested Units shall be paid in cash, and the amount of the payment for each Vested Unit to be paid in cash will equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the Change in Control.

	
		
	(d)
	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Key Employee's Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee).  Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid in the seventh month following the Grantee's Separation from Service.

	
		
	(e)
	The Grantee shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right for each Vested Unit.  At the same time that the related Vested Units are paid, SunTrust shall pay each Dividend Equivalent Right in shares of Stock to the Grantee, or, in the event the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to §4, in cash; provided, however, the Grantee's right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash.

	
		
	(f)
	The Grantee will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, including the right to vote or receive dividends, unless and until shares of Stock are issued to the Grantee as payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units.

§7.  COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS.

(a) Compliance with Securities Laws.  By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee agrees not to sell Stock at a time when applicable laws or SunTrust's rules prohibit a sale.

§8.  WITHHOLDING.

(a) Upon the payment of any Restricted Stock Units, SunTrust's obligation to deliver shares of Stock or cash to settle the Vested Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be subject to the satisfaction of applicable tax withholding requirements, including federal, state, and local requirements.  The Grantee must pay to SunTrust any applicable federal, state or local withholding tax due as a result of such payment and authorizes SunTrust to withhold such amounts.

(b) The Committee shall have the right to reduce the number of shares of Stock issued to the Grantee to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding requirements.

§9.  RECOVERY OF AWARDS.  Federal law requires that if it is determined that there is a miscalculation of a financial performance measure, whether or not the Company is required to restate its financial statements and regardless of fault, the Grantee may be required to reimburse all or a portion of Grant to the extent that the amount granted exceeds the actual amount the Grantee would have been granted based on the revised financial results.  In addition, SunTrust has a recoupment policy that sets out the events, in addition to the federal law requirements, that could lead to recoupment of an award.  By accepting this Grant, Grantee agrees to return to SunTrust (or to the cancellation of) all or a portion of any grant paid or unpaid, vested or unvested, previously granted to such Grantee based upon a determination made by the Committee or the Significant Event and Incentive Review Committee (SEIRC), as the case may be, pursuant to SunTrust’s recoupment policy in effect from time to time that a recoupment should be made.  SunTrust’s recoupment policy is available in PPM HR-Recoup-1000 Recoupment Policy.

Nothing in the Plan or this Unit Agreement or any related material shall give the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of SunTrust or any Subsidiary or adversely affect the right of SunTrust or any Subsidiary to terminate the Grantee's employment with or without cause at any time.

§11.  OTHER LAWS.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, SunTrust shall have the right to refuse to pay any cash award or to issue or transfer any shares under this Unit Agreement if SunTrust acting in its absolute discretion determines that such payment or issuance or transfer of such Stock might violate any applicable law or regulation.

§12.  MISCELLANEOUS.
