 BB&T CORPORATION 
 SUPPLEMENTAL DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 
 FOR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES 
 (January 1, 2009 Restatement) 
 ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE OF PLAN 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan. Effective as of January 1, 1998, BB&T Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the BB&T
Corporation Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan for Highly Compensated Employees (the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain eligible highly compensated employees of the Company and participating Affiliates. As of November 1, 2001, the
Plan was amended and restated. As of the date of execution of this Plan document, effective January 1, 2009, the Plan is hereby amended and restated for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and the guidance issued thereunder by the United States Department of Treasury and/or the Internal Revenue Service (collectively “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2008, the Plan has been operated, to the extent applicable, in good faith compliance with Section 409A. Moreover, to the extent applicable, the Company intends that the Plan comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be
construed consistently with such intent. 
 1.2 Purpose of Plan. The primary purpose of the Plan is to supplement the benefits
payable to certain participants under the qualified BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan to the extent that such benefits are curtailed by the application of certain limits imposed by the Code. The Plan is also intended to provide certain
participants in the Company’s executive incentive compensation plans with an effective means of deferring a portion of the payments they are entitled to receive under such plans on a pre-tax basis. All benefits from the Plan shall be 

 
payable solely from the general assets of the Company and participating Affiliates. The Plan is comprised of both an “excess benefit plan” within
the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA and an unfunded plan maintained for the purposes of providing deferred compensation to a “select group of highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Plan, therefore, is intended to be exempt from the participation, vesting, funding, and fiduciary requirements of Title I of ERISA.

 ARTICLE III 
 CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS 
 3.1 Salary Reduction Credits  
 3.1.1 Amount of Salary Reduction Credits. Each Participant who is a participant in the Savings Plan may elect, by executing
a Salary Reduction Election Form prior to the applicable Entry Date, to reduce on a pre-tax basis his Covered Compensation from the Employer for any Plan Year by an amount equal to (a) minus (b), where: 
 (a) is the amount determined by multiplying the Participant’s Covered Compensation by a integral percentage that is set forth in his
effective Salary Reduction Form; and 
 (b) is an amount equal to the Salary Reduction Contributions credited to the
Participant’s Salary Reduction Contribution (Before-Tax) Account under the Savings Plan (determined under the Savings, including and the limitations described in Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m), 402(g) and 415 of the Code) for such Plan
Year. 
 In the event that a Participant’s first Entry Date is other than January 1 and it is his first year of eligibility under
the Plan (taking into consideration eligibility under all other nonqualified account balance plans of the Company and of any Affiliate that are required to be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A in determining whether such Plan Year is
in fact the first year of eligibility, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(7)(ii), under a “plan” that includes the Plan), such Participant may make an initial deferral election in accordance with this
Section 3.1.1 within 30 days of becoming first eligible to participate under the Plan, but only with respect to that portion of his Covered Compensation to be earned for services to be performed subsequent to the election and ending on
December 31 of such Plan Year. 
 3.1.2 Time for Crediting Accounts. Salary Reduction Credits shall be
credited to a Participant’s Salary Reduction Credit Account as of the same time, and in the same manner, that Salary Reduction Contributions are credited to the Participant’s Salary Reduction Contribution (Before-Tax) Account under the
Savings Plan. 
 3.1.3 Administrative Rules. An election pursuant to this Section 3.1.1 shall be made by
the Participant by executing and delivering to the Committee a Salary Reduction Election Form in accordance with such rules and procedures as are adopted by the Committee from time to time. Except for the first year of eligibility, the Salary
Reduction Election Form must be received by the Committee prior to the beginning of 

  

 - 8 - 

 
each Plan Year in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The Salary Reduction Election Form of a Participant shall be irrevocable and shall
remain in effect for the Plan Year for which it is first made and for all future Plan Years until it is revoked or changed by a new election submitted pursuant to the rules of this Section 3.1 or the Participant ceases participation in the
Plan. Any such election with respect to Covered Compensation that is Performance-Based Compensation must be received by the Committee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee; provided, however, that: 
 (i) the Committee does not receive such election later than a date that is six months prior to the end of the applicable performance
period to which the services relate; 
 (ii) the Participant has continuously performed services from the later of the
beginning of the performance period or the date the performance criteria are established through the date on which the deferral election is made; and 
 (iii) in no event shall such election be made after such Incentive Compensation has become readily ascertainable. 
 3.2 Company Discretionary Credits 
 3.2.1 Company Discretionary Credits. The
determination of which Participant or Participants shall be credited with a Company Discretionary Credit and the amount of such credit shall be determined solely by the Company. 
 3.2.2 Time for Crediting Accounts. Company Discretionary Credits shall be credited by the Committee to a Participant’s
Discretionary Account at such time or times as the Committee so designates. 
  

 - 9 - 

 ARTICLE IV 
 NONFORFEITABILITY OF ACCOUNTS 
 Upon Separation from Service, the interest of a Participant in
his Salary Reduction Account, Discretionary Account and Profit Sharing Account, if any, shall not be subject to forfeiture; provided, however, that in the event that the Participant has engaged in misconduct, including, but not limited to,
embezzlement, larceny, theft, and other dishonest acts affecting the Employer, or his engaged in direct competition with the Employer while a Participant, such Participant shall forfeit the entire interest in his Discretionary Account. 

 

 - 10 - 

 ARTICLE V 
 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 
 5.1 Distributions 
 5.1.1 In General. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI relating payments in the events of an Unforeseeable Emergency,
the vested Accrued Benefit of a Participant shall be distributed to, or with respect to, a Participant only upon the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. Payment of benefits on account of a Separation from Service shall be made in
accordance with Section 5.2. Payment of benefits on account of the death of a Participant shall be made in accordance with Section 5.3. 
 5.1.2 No Acceleration. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI relating payments in the events of an Unforeseeable Emergency, and permitted under Section 409A, no acceleration of the time and
form of payment of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit, or any portion thereof, shall be permitted. 
 5.2 Payment of Benefits upon
Separation from Service 
 5.2.1 Form of Distribution. The vested Accrued Benefit of a Participant who
has incurred a Separation from Service shall be paid to the Participant, or applied for his benefit, under one of the following options: 
  

			
	 Option A
	  	Term Certain Option. Payment in approximately equal monthly installments over a term certain not to exceed 180 months; or
		
	 Option B
	  	Lump Sum Option. Payment in a lump sum.

 The election of the distribution option with respect to his vested Accrued Benefit (“Form
Election”) shall be made by the Participant on a form approved by the Committee and filed with the Committee as provided in Section 5.2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Form Elections are subject to the provisions of
Section 5.2.2(b). In the event that a Participant fails to elect a distribution option or fails to make a timely election, his vested Accrued Benefit shall be paid to him under the Lump Sum Option. The amount of a Participant’s vested
Accrued Benefit for purposes of any distribution made pursuant to this Article V shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date that such distribution is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. 
 5.2.2 Commencement and Timing of Distributions 
 (a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI relating to payments in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, no benefit
payments will be made to the Participant from the Plan 

  

 - 11 - 

 
under this Section 5.2 until the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2.2(b) and Article XVII
relating to Specified Employees, payment of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit shall commence within one of the following periods: 
  

			
	 Option 1
	  	Distribution shall commence within the 60-day period next following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service; provided that if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year
and ends in another, the Participant shall not have a right to designate the calendar year of payment.
		
	 Option 2
	  	Distribution shall commence within the period beginning on the first day of January of the Plan Year which next follows the Plan Year in which the Participant incurred a Separation from
Service and ending on the last day of February of such Plan Year.
		
	 Option 3
	  	Distribution shall commence within the 60-day period next following the date the Participant attains age 65 (provided that the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service); provided
that if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant shall not have a right to designate the calendar year of payment.
		
	 Option 4
	  	Distribution shall commence within the period beginning on the first day of January of the Plan Year which next follows the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 65 and ending on the
last day of February of such Plan Year (provided that the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service).

 The election of the date as of which distribution shall commence (the “Timing Election”)
shall be made by the Participant on a form approved by the Committee and filed with the Committee as provided in Section 5.2.3. If the Participant fails to elect one of these options, fails to make a timely election, or fails to make consistent
elections for all deferrals, Option (1) will be deemed to have been elected by the Participant. 
 (b) Specified
Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event that a Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, to the extent that payment of his vested Accrued Benefit would constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, any Accrued Benefit payable during the six-month period following such Separation from Service 

  

 - 12 - 

 
shall be paid during the 30-day period commencing with the first day of the seventh month following the month of the Specified Employee’s Separation
from Service; provided, however, that if such 30-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant shall not have the right to designate the taxable year of payment. 
 5.2.3 Timing and Duration of Elections. 
  

	 	(a)	Elections for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. On or before December 31, 2008, Participants may make Form Elections and Timing Elections with respect to their Accrued
Benefits for Plan Years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008; provided, however, that: 

  

	 	(i)	No amount subject to the elections shall otherwise be payable in the calendar year in which the election is made; 

  

	 	(ii)	Such election shall not cause an amount to be paid in the calendar year of the election that would not otherwise be payable in such year; 

  

	 	(iii)	All Form Elections shall be consistent with each other and all Timing Elections shall be consistent with each other; and 

  

	 	(iv)	Such elections shall continue in effect for future Plan Years unless subsequent elections pursuant to Section 5.2.3(c) are made and become effective. 

 

	 	(b)	Initial Distribution Elections. On or before the December 31 that immediately precedes the Plan Year in which he is first eligible to participate in the Plan, a
Participant shall make a Form Election and Timing Election on a distribution election form approved by, and filed with, the Committee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. A Participant who is eligible, pursuant to Sections
3.1.1 and/or 3.3.1, to make an election to participate in the Plan on an Entry Date other than January 1 shall make a Form Election and Timing Election on a distribution election form approved by, and filed with, the Committee within 30 days of

	 	(c)	Subsequent Elections. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant may change any Form Election or Timing Election made under Sections
5.2.3(a) or (b) above only if the following conditions are met: 

  

	 	(i)	The time and form of payment is permitted under the terms of the Plan and that if the time and form of payment is changed, the time and form of all previous Form Elections and
Timing Elections is changed to a consistent time and form of payment; and

	 	(ii)	Such subsequent election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made; and 

  

	 	(iii)	The payment with respect to which such subsequent election is made is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise be made (for this
purpose, payments under the Term Certain Option shall be treated as a single payment); and 

  

	 	(iv)	Any subsequent election shall not be made less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment; and 

  

	 	(v)	The election shall be irrevocable as of the last date it can be made. 

 5.2.4 Medium of Distributions. Distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash. 
 5.2.5 Installment Payments. If the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is to be distributed in installments pursuant to the Term Certain Option, the amount of each monthly installment shall initially be equal to the
value of the Account as of the date benefit payments are to commence multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of installments to be paid. As of each February 1 (the
“Annual Valuation Date”), the amount of the monthly installment payments shall be adjusted so that for the 12-consecutive-month period beginning on such Annual Valuation Date the amount of each monthly installment payment shall be equal to
the value of the Account on such Annual Valuation Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the number of installments remaining to be paid. The Account shall continue to be adjusted as
provided in Article VII until the entire balance credited to the Account has been paid. Any final earnings shall be paid with the last installment. 
 5.3 Payment of Death Benefit On the death of a Participant, the vested Accrued Benefit of such Participant shall be paid to his Beneficiary in accordance with the following special provisions hereinafter set forth. 

5.3.1 Death Before Payments Begin. If the Participant dies before payment of his vested Accrued Benefit begins under
Section 5.2, payment shall be made to the Beneficiary in cash under the Lump Sum Option. Payment shall be 

  

 - 14 - 

 
made within the 90-day period that begins the 60th day
next following the date of the Participant’s death; provided that if such 90-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Beneficiary shall not have a right to designate the calendar year of payment. The amount of the
Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit for purposes of any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date such distribution is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. 

5.3.2 Death After Payments Begin. If the Participant dies on or after payment of his vested Accrued Benefit commences
under Section 5.2, the remaining payments (if any) that would have been made to the Participant had he not died shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the same manner as they would have been paid to the Participant had he lived.

 5.4 Rules. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII and Section 409A, the Committee may from time to time adopt
additional policies or rules governing the manner in which distributions will be made from the Plan so that the Plan may be conveniently administered and comply with Section 409A.

 ARTICLE VI 
 UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY PAYMENTS 
 6.1 Conditions for Request. Subject to the
provisions of Article XVII, a Participant may, at any time prior to his Separation from Service, make application to the Committee to receive a cash payment in a lump sum of all or a portion of the total amount credited to his Account (other than
his Profit Sharing Account, if any) by reason of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of a payment on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall not exceed the amount required to meet the financial hardship created by the Unforeseeable Emergency,
after taking into account the extent to which such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation would not itself
cause severe financial hardship) including all amounts that may be withdrawn from the Savings Plan, or the cessation of deferrals under the Plan. For this purpose, an Unforeseeable Emergency shall mean a severe financial hardship of the Participant
resulting from (i) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B));
(ii) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to the home by natural disaster not otherwise covered by insurance); or (iii) other similar or extraordinary and
unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee in accordance with Section 409A, and its decision to grant or deny a payment on account
of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be final. The Committee shall apply uniform and nondiscriminatory standards in accordance with Section 409A in making its decision. 
  

 - 16 - 

 6.2 Written Request. The Participant’s request for a payment on account of an
Unforeseeable Emergency must be made in writing to the Committee. The request must specify the nature of the financial hardship, the total amount to be paid from his Account, and the total amount of the actual expense incurred or to be incurred on
account of hardship. 
 6.3 Processing of Request. The processing of a request for a payment on account of an Unforeseeable
Emergency shall be completed as soon as practicable from the date on which the Committee receives the properly completed written request. If a Participant incurs a Separation from Service after a request is approved but prior to payment, the
approval of his request shall be automatically void and the benefits he is entitled to receive under the Plan shall be paid in accordance with the applicable payment provisions of the Plan. If a payment is approved, such payment shall be made in a
lump sum within 60 days of the date of approval; provided that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant shall not have a right to designate the calendar year of payment. If the Committee determines that
the extent of an Unforeseeable Emergency requires a suspension of the Participant’s deferrals for the Plan Year in which the Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, such a suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval of such emergency. An
Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawal shall be charged to the separate bookkeeping accounts which comprise the Account in the following order: (i) Salary Reduction Account; (ii) Discretionary Account; and (iii) Profit Sharing Account.
Subject to the provisions of Article XVII, with respect to each such separate bookkeeping account, such Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawal shall be charged to the Investment Fund Accounts with respect to such separate bookkeeping account on a pro
rata basis. Only one payment because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made within any Plan Year. 
  

 - 17 - 

 6.4 Rules. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII and Section 409A, the Committee
may from time to time adopt additional policies or rules governing the manner in which such payments because of an Unforeseeable Emergency may be made so that the Plan may be conveniently administered and comply with Section 409A.

 ARTICLE VII 
 DEEMED INVESTMENTS AND ADJUSTMENT OF ACCOUNTS 
 7.1 Account Administration. The
Committee shall establish and maintain in behalf of each Participant the following separate bookkeeping accounts with respect to his Account: (i) Salary Reduction Account; (ii) Discretionary Account; and (iii) Profit Sharing Account,
if any. If the Participant elects to have all or a portion of the amount credited to each separate bookkeeping account deemed invested in one or more of the Investment Funds as provided in Section 7.2, the Committee shall establish a
sub-account entitled “Investment Fund Account” with respect to the amount deemed invested in each Investment Fund. 
 7.2
Deemed Investment of Accounts in Investment Funds. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee, a Participant may elect to have all or a portion (in integral percentages) of the amount credited to each separate bookkeeping
account deemed invested in one or more of the Investment Funds. An election to invest in the Investment Funds shall be made by the Participant in accordance with such rules and procedures as are established by the Committee from time to time. Unless
modified or revoked by the Participant, an election to invest in the Investment Funds shall continue in effect until such time as the distribution of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is processed by the Committee or its designee in
accordance with the provisions of Article V. A Participant unilaterally may modify or revoke his election as of any Adjustment Date by providing advance notice to the Committee in accordance with such rules and procedures as are established by the
Committee from time to time. Any amount the Participant has elected to be deemed invested in an Investment Fund shall be converted into Investment Fund Credits with respect to that Investment Fund in the manner and as of the Adjustment Date set
forth in procedures established by the Committee. The value of 

  

 - 19 - 

 
any Investment Fund Credits that the Participant has elected to be deemed sold from an Investment Fund Account and credited to another Investment Fund
Account shall be determined in the manner and as of the Adjustment Date set forth in procedures established by the Committee. All deemed dividends, capital gains, or other income distributions payable with respect to the Investment Fund Credits
allocated to an Investment Fund Account shall be converted into Investment Fund Credits with respect to that Investment Fund in the manner and as of the Adjustment Date set forth in procedures established by the Committee. In the event the Committee
shall change the manner in which amounts are to be converted to Investment Fund Credits or the manner in which Investment Fund Credits are to be deemed sold, it shall communicate such change to Participants in writing in advance of the date such
change is to be effective. The Investment Fund Accounts shall be adjusted as provided in Section 7.4 and fractional shares shall be accounted for as such. 
 7.3 Adjustment of Investment Fund Accounts. As of the close of business of the Company on each Adjustment Date, the number of Investment Fund Credits allocated to the Investment Fund Account of each
Participant with respect to each separate bookkeeping account shall be adjusted in the following order: 
 (a) Any Investment
Fund Credits deemed sold from the Investment Fund Account since the next preceding Adjustment Date shall be debited. 
 (b)
Then, any shares of the Investment Fund deemed purchased with amounts converted into Investment Fund Credits plus any additional shares of Investment Fund Credits deemed purchased as a result of any deemed dividends, capital gains, or other income
distributions payable since the next preceding Adjustment Date with respect to Investment Fund Credits allocated to the Participant’s Investment Fund Account, shall be credited. 
 7.4 Rules. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII and Section 409A, the Committee may establish any rules or regulations necessary
to implement the provisions of this Article VII and to comply with Section 409A. 
  

 - 20 -

 8.4
Transaction of Business. A majority of the members of the Committee at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All resolutions or other actions taken by the Committee at any meeting shall be by vote
of a majority of those present at any such meeting and entitled to vote. Resolutions may be adopted or other action taken without a meeting upon written consent thereto signed by all of the members of the Committee. 
  

 - 21 - 

 8.5 Committee Records. The Committee shall maintain full and complete records of its
deliberations and decisions. The minutes of its proceedings shall be conclusive proof of the facts of the operation of the Plan. The records of the Committee shall contain all relevant data pertaining to individual Participants and their rights
under the Plan. 
 8.6 Establishment of Rules. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time
establish rules or by-laws for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its business. 
 8.7 Conflicts of
Interest. No individual member of the Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or to any of his rights or benefits under the Plan (except that such member may sign unanimous written consent
to resolutions adopted or other action taken without a meeting). 
 8.8 Correction of Errors. The Committee may correct errors
and, so far as practicable, may adjust any benefit or credit or payment accordingly. The Committee may in its discretion waive any notice requirements in the Plan; provided, that a waiver of notice in one or more cases shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of notice in any other case. With respect to any power or authority which the Committee has discretion to exercise under the Plan, such discretion shall be exercised in a nondiscriminatory manner. 
 8.9 Authority to Interpret Plan. Subject to the claims procedure set forth in Article XV, the Committee and the Plan Administrator
shall have the duty and discretionary authority to interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan and decide any dispute which may arise regarding the rights of Participants hereunder, including the discretionary authority to interpret the Plan
and to make determinations as to eligibility for participation and benefits under the Plan. Interpretations and determinations by the Committee and the Plan Administrator shall 

  

 - 22 - 

 
apply uniformly to all persons similarly situated and shall be binding and conclusive on all interested persons. Such interpretations and determinations
shall only be set aside if the Committee and the Plan Administrator are found to have acted arbitrarily and capriciously in interpreting and construing the provisions of the Plan. 
 8.10 Third-Party Advisors. The Committee may engage an attorney, accountant, or any other technical advisor on matters regarding the
operation of the Plan and to perform such other duties as shall be required in connection therewith. The Committee may employ such clerical and related personnel as the Committee shall deem requisite or desirable in carrying out the provisions of
the Plan. 
 8.11 Compensation of Members. No fee or compensation shall be paid to any member of the Committee for his service
as such.

shall indemnify and hold harmless, directly from its own assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums of which are paid from the Company’s own assets), each member of the Committee and each other officer, Employee, or
director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be delegated or allocated, against any unreimbursed or uninsured cost or expense (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with
the prior written approval of the Board) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
  

 - 23 - 

 ARTICLE IX 
 FUNDING 
 The Plan is intended to be both an excess benefit plan and an unfunded plan of
deferred compensation maintained for a select group of highly compensated employees. The obligation of the Employer to make payments hereunder shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Employer to the Participant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall establish and maintain a special separate fund as provided for in the document entitled “BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Trust.” The Employer may make contributions to the trust from
time to time in accordance with Article V thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant or his Beneficiary shall have any legal or equitable rights, interest, or claims in any particular asset of the trust or the Employer by reason of the
Employer’s obligation hereunder, and nothing contained herein shall create or be construed as creating any other fiduciary relationship between the Employer and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right
to receive payments from the trust or the Employer hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Employer. 
  

 - 24 -

 - 26 - 

 ARTICLE XI 
 BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE; FACILITY OF PAYMENTS 
 11.1 Benefits Not Assignable. No
portion of any benefit held or paid under the Plan with respect to any Participant shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void; nor shall any portion of such benefit be in any manner payable to any assignee, receiver, or any one trustee, or be liable for a Participant’s debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts, or be subject to any legal process to levy upon or attach. 
 11.2 Payments to Minors and
Others. If any individual entitled to receive a payment under the Plan shall be physically, mentally, or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of such payment, the Committee, upon the receipt of satisfactory evidence of his

Beneficiary (the “Primary Beneficiary”) is receiving or is entitled to receive payments under the Plan and dies before receiving all of the payments due him, the balance to which he is entitled shall be paid to the Contingent Beneficiary,
if any, named in the Participant’s current beneficiary designation form. If there is no Contingent Beneficiary, the balance shall be paid to the estate of the Primary Beneficiary. Any Beneficiary may disclaim all or any part of any benefit to
which such Beneficiary shall be entitled hereunder by filing a written disclaimer with the Committee before payment of such benefit is to be made. Such a disclaimer shall be made in form satisfactory to the Committee and shall be irrevocable when
filed. Any benefit disclaimed shall be payable from the Plan in the same manner as if the Beneficiary who filed the disclaimer had died on the date of such filing. 
  

 - 28 - 

 ARTICLE XIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time;
provided, that in no event shall such amendment or termination reduce any Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the date of such amendment or termination, nor shall any such amendment affect the terms of the Plan relating to the payment of such
Accrued Benefit without the Participant’s prior written consent to such amendment. Any such amendment or termination shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board and shall be effective as of the date specified in such resolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and until otherwise decided by the Board, subject to Section 409A, the officer of the Company specifically designated in resolutions adopted by the Board shall have the authority to amend the Plan to provide for
the merger or consolidation of another non-qualified defined contribution plan into the Plan, and in connection therewith, to set forth any special provisions that may apply to the participants in such other plan. Upon termination of the Plan,
distribution of the Accrued Benefit of a Participant shall be made to the Participant or his Beneficiary in the manner and at the time described in Article V of the Plan and in accordance with Section 409A. No additional credits of Salary
Reduction Credits and Company Discretionary Credits shall be made to the respective separate bookkeeping accounts of a Participant following termination of the Plan, but the Account of each Participant shall continue to be adjusted as provided in

 ARTICLE XV 
 CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
 15.1 Filing of a Claim for Benefits. If a Participant or
Beneficiary (the “Claimant”) believes that he is entitled to benefits under the Plan which are not being paid to him or which are not being accrued for his benefit, he shall file a written claim therefor with the Plan Administrator. In the
event the Plan Administrator shall be the Claimant, all actions which are required to be taken by the Plan Administrator pursuant to this Article XV shall be taken instead by another member of the Committee designated by the Committee. 

15.2 Notification to Claimant of Decision. Within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Plan Administrator (or within 180 days if
special circumstances require an extension of time) the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of his decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, there shall be furnished to the
Claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-day period, written notice of the extension, which notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the decision shall be furnished. If such claim shall be wholly or partially
denied, notice thereof shall be in writing and worded in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the
Plan on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation
of the procedure for review of the denial. If the Plan Administrator fails to notify the Claimant of the decision in timely manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the close of the initial 90-day period (or the close of the extension period,
if applicable). 
  

 - 31 - 

 15.3 Procedure for Review. Within 60 days following receipt by the Claimant of notice
denying his claim, in whole or in part, or, if such notice shall not be given, within 60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have been timely given, the Claimant shall appeal denial of the claim by filing a written application
for review with the Committee. Following such request for review, the Committee shall fully and fairly review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the Committee, the Claimant shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent
documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. 
 15.4 Decision on Review. The decision on review of a claim denied in
whole or in part by the Plan Administrator shall be made in the following manner: 
 (a) Within 60 days following receipt by
the Committee of the request for review (or within 120 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing of its decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special
circumstances requiring an extension of time, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. If the decision on review is not furnished in a timely manner, the claim shall be deemed
denied as of the close of the initial 60-day period (or the close of the extension period, if applicable). 
 (b) With respect
to a claim that is denied in whole or in part, the decision on review shall set forth specific reasons for the decision, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and shall cite specific references to the pertinent
Plan provisions on which the decision is based. 
 (c) The decision of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

 15.5 Action by Authorized Representative of Claimant. All actions set forth in this Article XV to be taken by the Claimant
may likewise be taken by a representative of the Claimant duly authorized by him to act in his behalf on such matters. The Plan Administrator and the Committee may require such evidence as either may reasonably deem necessary or advisable of the
authority to act of any such representative. 
  

 - 32 - 

 ARTICLE XVI 
 PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS 
 16.1 Adoption by Affiliate. Subject to the approval of
the Board, an Affiliate that has adopted the Savings Plan may adopt the Plan and become a participating Employer in the Plan by resolutions approved by its Board of Directors. The Affiliates that are participating Employers are listed on Appendix C
attached hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time by the Committee. The special provisions shall apply to all participating Employers to the Plan are hereinafter set forth. 
 16.2 Single Plan. The Plan is a single plan with respect to all participating Employers. 
 16.3 Service; Allocation of Costs. Service for purposes of the Plan shall be interchangeable among participating Employers to the Plan and
shall not be deemed interrupted or terminated by the transfer at any time of a Participant from the Service of one Employer to the Service of another Employer. In determining the cost of providing benefits under the Plan, each Employer shall be
responsible for the cost associated with the Employees of such Employer who are Participants in the Plan. 
 16.4 Committee.
The Committee which administers the Plan as applied to the Company shall also be the Committee as applied to each other Employer to the Plan. 
 16.5 Authority to Amend and Terminate. The Board of the Company shall have the power to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to each Employer.

 ARTICLE XVII 
 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 OF THE 1934 ACT 
 AND RULE 16B-3 TRADING RESTRICTIONS

 The transactions under the Plan are intended to be structured in accordance with the 1934 Act, including but not limited to the
restrictions (if applicable) imposed by Rule 16b-3 adopted under the 1934 Act. In addition to the provisions contained in the Plan, transactions by persons subject to Article XVI shall be subject to such further conditions as may be required in
order to comply with the terms of Rule 16b-3 and Section 16(b). Without limiting the foregoing, persons subject to Section 16 shall be required to comply with such rules and procedures regarding Plan participation and transactions as may
be established by the Committee or a committee or subcommittee established pursuant to Section 8.2; provided that such procedures shall take into account Section 409A, which requires that any delayed distribution be paid at the earliest
date at which the Committee reasonably anticipates that making such payment will not cause violation of federal or other applicable securities laws. 
  

 - 34 - 

 ARTICLE XVIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 18.1 Notices. Each Participant who is not in Service
and each Beneficiary shall be responsible for furnishing the Plan Administrator with his current address for the mailing of notices, reports, and benefit payments; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may use the last address on file with
it as a valid address. Any notice required or permitted to be given to any such Participant or Beneficiary shall be deemed given if directed to such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid. If any check mailed
to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant or Beneficiary furnishes the proper address (and the Participant or Beneficiary may incur additional taxes and penalties under
Section 409A). This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by other publication. 
 18.2 Lost Distributees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Plan Administrator is unable after a reasonable period of time to locate
the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is due. Such benefit shall be reinstated if a valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary for the forfeited benefit, although the benefits may be subject to additional taxes
and penalties under Section 409A.

 18.4 Receipt and Release for Payments. Any payment made from the Plan to or with respect to
any Participant or Beneficiary, or pursuant to a disclaimer by a Beneficiary, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Plan and the Employer with respect to the Plan. The recipient of any payment from
the Plan may be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in such form as shall be acceptable to the Committee. 
 18.5 Headings. The headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any
construction of the provisions hereof. 
 18.6 Continuation of Employment. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed
as conferring any legal or other rights upon any Employee or any persons for continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Employee or to deal with him without regard to the effect thereof under
the Plan. 
 18.7 Construction. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State
of North Carolina, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions.

the assets of the Employer will be sufficient to provide any or all benefits payable under the Plan at any time, including any time that the Plan may be terminated or partially terminated. 
  

 - 36 - 

 18.9 Severability. All provisions contained in this Plan shall be severable, and in the
event that any one or more of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, the Plan shall be interpreted as if such invalid provisions were not contained herein. 
 18.10 Merger and Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate or merge into or with another corporation or entity, or transfer all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation, partnership, trust or other entities (a “Successor Entity”) unless such Successor Entity shall assume the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company under the Plan and upon

 18.11 Withholding
Taxes. The Employer shall be authorized to report income with respect to, and to withhold from, any deferral or payment under the Plan the amount of income and withholding taxes due with respect to such deferral or payment and to take such
other actions as may be necessary in the sole opinion of the Employer to satisfy all obligations for the reporting of income and payment of taxes. 
 18.12 Timing of 2005 Deferrals. The requirements of Article III relating to the timing of deferral elections shall not apply to any deferral elections for 2005 made on or before March 15, 2005; provided that the
requirements of Q&A 21 of IRS Notice 2005-1 were met: (1) the amounts to which the deferral election related had not been paid or had not become payable at the time of the election; (2) the elections to defer compensation were made in
accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2005 (other than a requirement to make a deferral election after March 15, 2005); (3) the Plan is otherwise operated in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A with respect to deferrals subject to Section 409A; and (4) the Plan is amended to comply with Section 409A in accordance with applicable IRS guidance.

in accordance therewith. Without in any way limiting the effect of the foregoing, in the event that the provisions of Section 409A require that any special terms, provisions, or conditions be included in the Plan, then such terms, provisions
and conditions shall, to the extent practicable, be deemed to be made a part of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, any Affiliate, the Board, the Committee, Compensation Committee, the Plan Administrator or their designees or
agents shall not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or other monetary amount that may be owed by any Participant, Beneficiary or any other person as a result of the deferral or payment of any amounts under the Plan or as a result of the
administration of amounts subject to the Plan.

 APPENDIX D 
 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO SCOTT & STRINGFELLOW, INC. 
 AND SCOTT &
STRINGFELLOW FINANCIAL, INC. DEFERRAL PLAN 
 Prior to July 1, 2001, Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. (“S&S”)
sponsored and maintained the Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. and Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc. Deferral Plan (the “S&S Plan”). The purpose of the S&S Plan was to provide selected key employees with the
opportunity to defer compensation on a pre-tax basis and to restore certain benefits that would have been provided under the tax-qualified plan of S&S except for the limitations under the Code. Effective as of July 1, 2001, the S&S Plan
was merged into the Plan and all participants in the S&S Plan (the “Former S&S Participants”), became Participants in the Plan on such date. Each Former S&S Participant’s Deferral Account under the S&S Plan became his
Salary Reduction Account under the Plan. Each Former S&S Participant’s Profit Sharing Account under the S&S Plan became his Profit Sharing Account under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article V of the Plan, a Former S&S
Participant’s Profit Sharing Account shall be subject to the special distribution rules hereinafter set forth in this Appendix D. 
 1. Payment of Benefits Upon Termination of Service 
 (a) If a Former S&S Participant incurs a
Separation from Service after his Tenth Anniversary (as defined in Section 3 of this Appendix D), the Former S&S Participant shall receive his Profit Sharing Account in a single sum cash payment within 60 days after the date that is six
months and one day after his Separation from Service; provided, however, that if such 60-day period begins in one taxable year and ends in another, the Former S&S Participant shall not have the right to designate the taxable year of payment.

 (b) If a Former S&S Participant incurs a Separation from Service before his Tenth Anniversary and the Former S&S
Participant does not join a Competing Business (as defined in Section 3 of this Appendix D) within six months after his Separation from Service, the Former S&S Participant shall receive his Profit Sharing Account in a single sum cash
payment within 60 days after the date that is six months and one day after his Separation from Service; provided, however, that if such 60-day period begins in one taxable year and ends in another, the Former S&S Participant shall not have the
right to designate the taxable year of payment. 
  

 D-1 

 (c) If a Former S&S Participant incurs a Separation from Service before his Tenth
Anniversary and joins a Competing Business within 6 months after his Separation from Service, the Former S&S Participant shall forfeit the amount credited to his Profit Sharing Account. 
 (d) If a Former S&S Participant dies while an Employee of the Employer and before receiving payment of his Profit Sharing Account, the
balance in his Profit Sharing Account shall be paid to his Beneficiary as provided in Section 5.3.1. If a Former S&S Participant dies within six months after his Separation from Service, any amount that would have been payable to the
Participant had he not died shall be paid to his Beneficiary as provided in Section 5.3.1. 
 2. Payment of Benefits After Age
70. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Former S&S Participant continues in Service after age 70, the Former S&S Participant’s Profit Sharing Account shall be paid in a single sum cash payment within 90 days after the later of
(i) the Former S&S Participant’s 70th birthday or (ii) the Former S&S Participant’s Tenth Anniversary; provided, however, that if such 90-day period begins in one taxable year and ends in another, the Former S&S
Participant shall not have the right to designate the taxable year of payment. 
 3. Definitions for Appendix D. 
 (a) Tenth Anniversary. A Former S&S Participant’s Tenth Anniversary shall be the date on which he completes 10
years of continuous employment with the Employer after the date he first became a participant in the S&S Plan. 
 (b)
Competing Business. A Competing Business is any business that is engaged in an activity competitive with the business of the Employer in the same geographic area in which the Employer does business. A Former S&S Participant will be
considered to have joined a Competing Business if, within 6 months after the Former S&S Participant’s Separation from Service, the Former S&S Participant, directly or indirectly, alone or as a member of a partnership or group,
(i) owns greater than a 5% interest in a Competing Business or (ii) manages, operates, joins, controls, is employed by, is a director of, participates in, advises, or engages in management, ownership, operation or control of any Competing
Business. The Plan Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether a Participant has joined a Competing Business, and the determination of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding.

 Exhibit 10.19 
 2008 AMENDMENT 
 TO 
 2006 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS 2008 AMENDMENT TO 2006 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is executed as of November 13, 2008, by and among BB&T CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (“BB&T”), BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY, a North Carolina
chartered commercial bank (“BBTC”) (collectively, the “Company”), and JOHN A. ALLISON IV, an individual (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive previously entered into a 2006 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated December 12, 2006 (the
“Employment Agreement”) that sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations issued thereunder (“Section
409A”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive also desire to amend the Employment Agreement to comply with the executive
compensation requirements of the United States Department of the Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) under Treasury’s Troubled Assets Relief Program (“TARP”)
established by Treasury pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 as implemented by guidance and/or regulations issued by Treasury (“EESA”) in anticipation of the Company entering into a securities purchase
agreement with Treasury; and 
 WHEREAS, notwithstanding Executive’s planned retirement on December 31, 2008, the Company and
Executive anticipate that Executive will become a “senior executive officer” within the meaning of Section 111(b)(3) of EESA prior to Executive’s retirement; and 
 WHEREAS, Section 3.4 of the Employment Agreement provides that the Employment Agreement may be amended pursuant to a written agreement between the
Company and Executive; and 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive hereby agree the Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 1. DEFINED TERMS. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, including the recitals,
defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement. 
 2. SPECIFIED
EMPLOYEE. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Employment Agreement, as amended, to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A)
Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and the Company’s specified employee identification policy) and if any payment, reimbursement and/or in-kind benefit that constitutes nonqualified deferred

 
compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) is deemed to be triggered by Executive’s separation from service, then, to the extent one or more
exceptions to Section 409A are inapplicable (including, without limitation, the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) relating to separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service and its requirement
that installments must be paid no later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year in which such an employee incurs the involuntary separation from service), all payments, reimbursements, and in-kind benefits that
constitute nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) to Executive shall not be paid or provided to Executive during the six- (6-) month period following Executive’s separation from service, and (i) such
postponed payment and/or reimbursement/in-kind amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service; (ii) any amounts payable
to Executive after the expiration of such six- (6-) month period shall continue to be paid to Executive in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that any group hospitalization plan, health care plan,
dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group executive benefit plan or program or any lump sum cash out thereof is nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of
Section 409A), Executive shall pay for such benefits from his Termination Date until the first day of the seventh month following the month of Executive’s separation from service, at which time the Company shall reimburse Executive for
such payments. If Executive dies during such six- (6-) month period and prior to the payment of such postponed amounts of nonqualified deferred compensation, only the amount of nonqualified deferred compensation equal to the number of whole months
that Executive lived shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive’s estate or, if applicable, to Executive’s designated beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the date of Executive’s death. 
 3. REIMBURSEMENTS AND IN-KIND BENEFITS. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the applicable plans and programs, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Employment Agreement, as amended, shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including,
where applicable, the requirement that (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement and the provision of benefits in kind during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of in-kind
benefits in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursement for an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense is incurred; (iii) the right to reimbursement
or right to in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (iv) each reimbursement payment or provision of in-kind benefit shall be one of a series of separate payments (and each shall be construed as a
separate identified payment) for purposes of Section 409A. 
 4. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 409A
COMPLIANCE. All payments to be made to Executive upon a termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) of Executive; and phrases in
the Employment Agreement such as “termination of employment,” “Executive’s termination,” “terminated,” and similar phrases shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
For purposes of Section 409A, (i) each payment made under the Employment Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) Executive may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment; and (iii) no
acceleration of the time and form of payment of any nonqualified deferred compensation to Executive or any portion thereof, shall be permitted. 
  

 - 2 - 

 5. SPECIFIC SECTION 409A
PROVISIONS. The following additional Section 409A amendments to the Employment Agreement shall be applicable: 
 A. Section 1.7.5 is amended by the deletion of 1.7.5(i); the renumbering of 1.7.5(ii), (iii), and (iv) as 1.7.5(iii), (iv) and (v) respectively; and the insertion of the following new
1.7.5(i) and (ii): 
 “(i) Executive shall receive Termination Compensation each month during the Compensation
Continuance Period described in Section 1.7.5(ii) below. 
 (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to Executive each
month during the period (i.e., the Compensation Continuance 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 Executive attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the thirty-six (36) month period which began with the Commencement Month.” 
 B. Section 1.7.7(i) is amended by the addition of the following language at the end thereof: “Executive hereby agrees and consents to
Employer’s amendment of the SERP to comply with Section 409A.” 
 C. Section 3.12(n) is amended by the addition of
the word “cash” before “amount equal to” in the first line thereof. 
 D. Section 3.12(o) is amended in its
entirety to provide as follows: 
 “o. “Termination Date” means the date Executive’s
employment is terminated, and which termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.” 
 6. TARP CPP RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding any provision of this Amendment or of the Employment Agreement to the contrary, for so long as the Company is a participant in the CPP, and for so long as and to
the extent the CPP imposes compensation limitations on employees that include Executive, the following provisions shall apply: 
 A.
General Restrictions 
 (1) No Golden Parachute Payments. The Company and its affiliates are prohibited from
making any “golden parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 111(b)(2)(C) of EESA) to Executive during any “CPP Covered Period”. As used in this Amendment, the term “CPP Covered Period” is any
period during which (A) Executive is a “senior executive officer” (within the meaning of Section 111(b)(3) of EESA) and (B) Treasury holds any equity or debt acquired from the Company in the CPP. Executive
acknowledges the foregoing and agrees that any compensation payable, whether under the Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 6.A.(3) below) or otherwise, that would constitute a “golden parachute payment” shall be reduced to the
minimum extent necessary so that such compensation does not violate such “golden parachute payment” prohibition. 
  

 - 3 - 

 (2) Recovery of Bonus and Incentive Compensation. To the extent required by
Section 111(b) of EESA, any bonus and incentive compensation paid to Executive during any CPP Covered Period is subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if such bonus and incentive compensation were based on materially
inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. Executive acknowledges the foregoing and agrees to repay Employer any bonuses and incentive compensation paid to Executive that were based on materially
inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. 
 (3) Compensation
Program Amendments. To the extent required by Section 111(b) of EESA, each of the Company’s compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute, severance and employment
agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with respect to which Executive is a participant or otherwise entitled to payments is hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of 6.A.(1) and (2) above.
In addition, the Company is required to review its Benefit Plans to ensure that such Benefit Plans do not encourage Executive and other senior executive officers of the Company to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the
Company. To the extent any such review requires revisions to any Benefit Plan with respect to which Executive is a participant, Executive and the Company agree that the Company shall make, without additional consent or approval of Executive, such
changes promptly and in good faith. 
 B. Specific Language Changes to Employment Agreement. 
 (1) The following Section 3.16A is hereby added to the Employment Agreement after Section 3.16 of the Employment
Agreement: 
 “3.16A. PAYMENT REDUCTION 
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, as amended, to the contrary, or any other agreement between Executive and Employer or its Affiliates, acquirers or successors,
to the extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for Executive would be prohibited by Section 111(b) of EESA, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as amended, or
otherwise (the “Payments”) then Employer and Executive agree that such Payments shall be reduced if and only to the minimum extent necessary so that the Payments do not violate such prohibition. 

  

	 	(b)	 The determination of whether the Payments shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.16A(a) and the amount of such reduction shall be determined by Employer at
Employer’s expense as 

  

 - 4 - 

	 	 
calculated by an accounting firm selected by Employer (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its calculation (the
“Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to Employer and Executive after such reduction is triggered. 

 Employer and Executive agree that the Payments shall be reduced in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) first, “Full
Credit Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order such that the payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the reduction will be the first payment to be reduced until such
payment is reduced to zero, and then the payment owed on the next latest date following occurrence of the event triggering the reduction will be the second payment to be reduced until such payment is equal to zero, and so forth, until all such Full
Credit Payments have been reduced to zero, and (ii) second, “Partial Credit Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order in the same manner as “Full Credit Payments” are reduced.
“Full Credit Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the
amount of a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) by one dollar ($1.00). “Partial Credit Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the amount of a parachute payment by an amount that is less than one dollar ($1.00). For clarification purposes only, a
“Partial Credit Payment” would include a stock option as to which vesting is accelerated upon an event that triggers the reduction, where the in the money value of the option exceeds the value of the option acceleration that is added to
the parachute payment.” 
 (2) The following new Section 3.16B is hereby added to the Employment Agreement:

 “3.16B. ADDITIONAL TARP/CPP RESTRICTIONS. Executive acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the
executive compensation restrictions of TARP and the CPP are applicable to Employer and Executive is a senior executive officer within the meaning of Section 111(b)(3) of EESA, (i) no bonus or other incentive compensation payable to
Executive shall be based upon arrangements that encourage unnecessary and/or excessive risks that threaten the value of Employer, to the extent required by Treasury and/or TARP 

  

 - 5 - 

 
and/or the CPP, and (ii) any bonus or other incentive compensation paid to Executive that is based upon Employer’s statement of earnings, gains, or
other criteria that are later discovered to be materially inaccurate, must, to the extent required by Treasury, and/or TARP and/or the CPP, be repaid by Executive to Employer.” 
 (3) Agreement to Sign Waiver and Release. Upon the Company’s request, Executive agrees to execute and deliver all waivers and
releases required by Treasury relating to TARP, CPP, and the Company’s participation in the CPP, including, without limitation, waivers and releases that release Treasury from any claims that Executive may otherwise have as a result of
Treasury’s issuance of regulations that modify or eliminate provisions and terms of the Company’s employee benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including, without limitation, the Benefit Plans) in which Executive participates or
otherwise receives benefits. 
 7. RATIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION. In all respects not
modified by this Amendment, the Employment Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed. 
 8. GOVERNING
LAW. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, this Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. 
 9. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all
of which, taken together, constitute one and the same agreement. 
 [The balance of this page is intentionally left blank.]
