 BB&T CORPORATION NON-QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 
 (January 1, 2009 Restatement) 
 ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan. Effective as of January 1, 1988, Branch Banking and Trust Company established the Branch Banking and Trust
Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain eligible executives. The Plan was first amended and restated effective as of February 1, 1988. Effective as of January 1, 1996, as a result of
the merger of Southern National Corporation (the “Company”) and BB&T Financial Corporation, Southern National Corporation assumed the sponsorship of the Plan and renamed it the Southern National Corporation Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan. Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Plan was restated as the Southern National Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan, and then as a result of the change in the Company’s corporate name to BB&T Corporation,
the Plan was renamed the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan and subsequently amended on three occasions. As of the date of execution of this Plan document which is effective as of January 1, 2009, the Plan is hereby amended
and restated effective January 1, 2009, for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder by the United States Department of
Treasury and/or the Internal Revenue Service (collectively, “Section 409A”). Prior to such amendment and restatement, on and after January 1, 2005, and 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 this intent. 

 1.2 Purpose of Plan. The primary purpose of the Plan is to supplement the benefits payable
to certain participants under the tax-qualified BB&T Pension Plan to the extent that such benefits are curtailed by the application of certain limits imposed by the Code. 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 purpose of providing deferred compensation to a
“select group of management or 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 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 Only those Employees designated by the Compensation Committee
as Eligible Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant as of the Entry Date determined by the Committee; provided, however, that an Eligible Employee shall not become a Participant in the
Plan unless his Qualified Pension Benefit is less than the benefit that would otherwise be payable to him under the Qualified Pension Plan if the Qualified Pension Plan did not apply the Limitations, or if the Qualified Pension Plan included
Non-Qualified Deferrals in the definition of “Compensation” (as defined in the Qualified Pension Plan) for benefit accrual purposes. A Participant shall cease to be an active Participant as of the date he ceases to be an Eligible Employee
or as of the end of the Plan Year in which he ceases to be a participant in the Qualified Pension Plan. A Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service and who later returns to Service will not be eligible to actively participate again in
the Plan, except upon such uniform terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee shall establish in writing in accordance with the Plan and Section 409A. The Committee shall maintain a list of Participants which shall be amended
from time to time. 
  

 7 

 ARTICLE IV 
 SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION BENEFITS 
 4.1 Amount. Except as otherwise provided in
Appendix C attached hereto and subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the Supplemental Pension Benefit of a Participant who is not Disabled and who has accrued a Supplemental Pension Benefit under the Plan shall be computed on the basis of
a single life annuity commencing on his Payment Date (regardless of when he receives his Qualified Pension Benefit) that is equal to (a) minus (b), where: 
 (a) is the Adjusted Accrued Benefit to which the Participant would be entitled under the Qualified Pension Plan, if: 
 (i) the Qualified Pension Plan did not apply the Limitations; 
 (ii) the Qualified Pension Plan included Non-Qualified Deferrals in the definition of “Compensation” under the Qualified Pension
Plan for benefit accrual purposes; and 
 (iii) the Participant incurred a Separation from Service immediately prior to his
Payment Date and began receiving his Adjusted Accrued Benefit in the form of an immediate single life annuity; and 
 (b) is
the Adjusted Accrued Benefit that would be paid to the Participant under the Qualified Pension Plan if the Participant had incurred a Separation from Service immediately prior to his Payment Date and began receiving his Adjusted Accrued Benefit on
his Payment Date in the form of an immediate single life annuity.

Supplemental Pension Benefit as provided in Section 4.2 above: 
 Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity.
Approximately equal monthly installments to the Participant, on the first day of each calendar month for 120 months certain and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month for as long as he lives, and providing that, if the Participant dies
before the expiration of the 120 months certain, payment of the monthly amount shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary for the remainder of the 120 months certain. No benefit shall be payable to a Beneficiary following the expiration of
the 120 months certain. 
  

 8

Participant, on the first day of each calendar month for as long as he lives with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s Beneficiary which is either 50%, 75% or 100%, as elected by the Participant, of the amount of the annuity

 4.2.2 No Level Income Option. No
Supplemental Pension Benefit shall be paid in a Social Security leveling form of payment. 
 4.2.3 Cashouts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 409A, if the Actuarial Equivalent of a Participant’s Supplemental Pension Benefit, at any time on or after his Separation from Service and prior to the date on which payment of his
Supplemental Pension Benefit commences, is determined not to exceed $25,000, such amount shall be paid to him in a single lump sum payment, in lieu of any other Supplemental Pension Benefit or Supplemental Death Benefit under the Plan (including all
agreements, methods, programs, or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Section 409A). Subject to Section 4.4,
such payment shall be made within the 90-day period next following the date of his Separation from Service; provided that, if such 90-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. 
 4.3 Commencement of Benefit Payments. Subject to Section 4.4, payment of the Supplemental
Pension Benefit to a Participant shall begin on the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the later of (i) the Participant’s attainment of age 55, or (ii) his Separation from Service. Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan and permitted under Section 409A, no acceleration of the time or form of payment of a Supplemental Pension Benefit, or any portion thereof, shall be permitted. 
  

 9

in the event that a Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, to the extent his Supplemental Pension Benefit constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, no
Supplemental Pension Benefit shall be paid or begin to be paid to him until within the 30-day period commencing with the first day of the seventh month following the month of his Separation from Service; provided, however, that if such 30-day period
begins in one calendar year and ends in another, such Participant shall have no right to designate the calendar year of payment. 
 4.4.1 Annuity Payments. The first six months of any annuity payments payable pursuant to this Section 4.4 above shall be accumulated without interest and paid on a date within the 30-day period specified above. All
remaining annuity payments shall be paid as they would have been but for the six-month delay.

the 180-day period before his applicable Payment Date for his Supplemental Post-Disability Pension Benefit to be paid in one of the following forms, each of which shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the normal form of the Participant’s

the extent his Supplemental Post-Disability Pension Benefit constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the Payment Date of his Supplemental Post-Disability Pension Benefit shall not occur
until after the 30-day period commencing with the first day of the seventh month following the month of his Separation from Service; provided, however, that if such 30-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, such Participant

 6.2 Death After Commencement of Payment. If a Participant dies after commencement of his Supplemental Pension Benefit or Supplemental
Post-Disability Pension Benefit, payments shall continue to be made to his Beneficiary following his death only if his Supplemental Pension Benefit or Supplemental Post-Disability Pension Benefit was payable in a form that provided for the
continuance of such payments.

 ADMINISTRATION BY COMMITTEE 
 8.1 Membership of Committee. The Committee shall
consist of the individuals appointed by the Board to serve as members of the Employee Benefits Plan Committee. The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration and interpretation of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions,
except to the extent all or any of such obligations are specifically imposed on the Board.

Subcommittee. The members of the Committee shall elect a Chairman and may elect an acting Chairman. They shall also elect a Secretary and may elect an acting Secretary, either of whom may be but need not be a member of the Committee. The

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. 
 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. 
  

 17 

 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 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, and may employ such clerical and related personnel as the Committee

 18 

 
shall indemnify and hold harmless, directly from its own assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums for 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. 
  

 19 

 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 or management employees. The obligation of the Employer to make payments hereunder may 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 shall 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. 
  

 20 

 ARTICLE X

responsibilities allocated to each, which shall be carried out in accordance with the other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan, shall be as follows:

 22 

 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 or a Beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No portion of such benefit shall be payable in any manner 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
incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or institution is maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so

Beneficiary and has no Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. The designation of a Beneficiary may be changed or revoked only by filing a new beneficiary designation form with the Committee or its designee. If a
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. 
  

 24 

 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 benefit 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, if applicable, in the manner and at the time described in Article IV, V or VI of the Plan, as the case may be, and in accordance with

 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). 
  

 27 

 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. 
 15.6 Overpayments. If it is determined that any benefit paid to or with respect
to a Participant under the Plan should not have been paid, or should have been paid in a lesser 

  

 28 

 
amount, written notice thereof will be given to the payee of such amount. The payee will repay the amount of the overpayment in a single lump sum payment. If
the payee does not repay such overpayment reasonably promptly, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, the overpayment will be repaid through one or more deductions from future benefit payments from the Plan, or suspension of future benefit
payments from the Plan, until the amount of the overpayment is repaid.

 17.2.3 The Supplemental Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary of a Transferred Participant who continues his participation in the Plan shall be determined and paid pursuant to the provisions of Articles VI and VII as if the

 32 

 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. 
 18.3 Reliance on Data. The Employer, the Committee, and the Plan Administrator shall
have the right to rely on any data provided by the Participant or by any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant; and the Employer, the Committee, and the Plan
Administrator shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any representation made at any time by a Participant or Beneficiary. 
  

 33 

 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. 
 18.8 Nonliability of Employer. The Employer
does not guarantee the Participants, former Participants, or Beneficiaries against loss of or depreciation in value of any right or benefit that any of them may acquire under the terms of the Plan, nor does the Employer guarantee to any of them that
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. 
  

 34 

 18.9 Severability. All provisions contained in the 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
such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
 18.11 Tax Reporting
and Withholding. The Employer shall satisfy all federal, state and local tax reporting and withholding tax requirements prior to making any benefit payment under the Plan. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made by the Employer in
cash, such payments shall be net of any amounts sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements. 
 18.12
Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent that Section 409A is deemed to apply to the Plan, it is the intention of Company that the Plan
shall comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall, to the extent practicable, be construed 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 

  

 35 

 
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.

 BB&T CORPORATION 
 NON-QUALIFIED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 
 (January 1, 2009 Restatement) 
 ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT AND
PURPOSES OF THE PLAN 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan. Effective as of January 1, 1997, Southern National Corporation,
the multi-banking holding company with principal subsidiaries that included Branch Banking and Trust Company, BB&T of South Carolina, and BB&T of Virginia, (the “Company”) adopted the “Southern National Corporation
Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan” (the “Plan”). Thereafter in 1997, the Company was renamed BB&T Corporation and, effective as of November 1, 2001, the Plan was renamed the “BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified
Defined Contribution Plan and was further 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 tax-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 

  

 1 

 
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 management or 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.

 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 an 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 provisions of the Savings Plan, including 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 file an initial Salary Reduction Election Form 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 such 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 Account as of the 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 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 

  

 8 

 
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; 
 (ii) the Participant has continuously performed services from the later of the beginning of the performance period
which is at least 12 consecutive months 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 Matching Credits. 
 3.2.1 Amount of Company Matching Credits. Each month the Committee
shall credit to the Matching Account of each Participant who elects to reduce his Covered Compensation under Section 3.1, with a Company Matching Credit, which shall be an amount equal to (a) minus (b), where: 
 (a) is an amount equal to 100% of the first 6% of Compensation and Covered Compensation, as the case may be, elected by the Participant
for salary reduction under Section 2.1 of the Savings Plan (but not more than the amount described in Section 3.1.1(b) of the Plan) and for salary reduction under Section 3.1.1(a) of the Plan; and 
 (b) is an amount equal to the maximum Matching Contributions that have been, or will be, made to the Employer Basic Matching Contribution
Account and the Employer Supplemental Matching Contribution Account of the Participant under the Savings Plan (determined under the provisions of the Savings Plan and the limitations described in Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m), 402(g), and 415
of the Code) for such Plan Year; 
 provided, however, that the Matching Company Credit of a Participant who is first eligible to participate during the Plan
Year beginning on an Entry Date other than January 1 as provided in Section 3.1.1 shall be limited to that portion of his Covered Compensation to be earned for services to be performed subsequent to his submission of his Salary Reduction
Election Form and ending on December 31 of such Plan Year. 
 3.2.2 Crediting Company Matching Credits. The amount of
Company Matching Credits to be credited to the Matching Account of the Participant shall be 

  

 9 

 
credited by the Committee to the Participant’s Matching Account as of the same time and in the same manner as Matching Contributions are credited to the
Participant’s Employer Basic Matching Contribution Account and Employer Supplemental Matching Contribution Account under the Savings Plan. 
 3.3 Company Discretionary Credits. 
 3.3.1 Amount of Company Discretionary Credits. At the discretion
of the Company and pursuant to the directions of the Company, the Committee shall credit to the Matching Account of a Participant with a Company Discretionary Credit, which shall be an amount determined by the Company. The determination of which
Participant shall be credited with a Company Discretionary Credit and the amount of such credit shall be determined solely by the Company. 
 3.3.2 Time for Crediting Company Discretionary Credits. The amount of Company Discretionary Credits to be credited to the Matching Account of the Participant shall be credited at such time or times as the Committee so

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

 ARTICLE V 
 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 
 5.1 Distributions 
 5.1.1 In General. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI relating to payments in the event 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 event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, which are 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. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII, 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. 
 Notwithstanding any election made by the Participant pursuant to this Section 5.2.1, if prior to the distribution processing date the Participant advises the Committee in writing that he desires to have his
vested Company Stock Accounts, if any, paid to him in shares of Company Stock (as provided in Section 5.2.4), his vested Company Stock Accounts shall be paid to him in accordance with the distribution option elected by him pursuant to this

  

 12 

 
Section 5.2.1; provided, however, that if the Participant elected the Term Certain Option, payment of the Participant’s Company Stock Accounts
shall be paid to him in approximately equal annual (rather than monthly) installments over the term certain selected by the Participant. 
 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 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, 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. 
  

 13 

 (b) Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
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 shall be paid the 30-day period commencing with the first day of the seventh month following the month of the Participant’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 any such election 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 the provisions of 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 the Committee 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 the Committee and filed with the Committee within 30 days of becoming first eligible to participate in the Plan. Such elections shall continue in effect for future Plan Years unless subsequent elections pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5.2.3(c) are made and become effective. 
 (c) Subsequent Elections. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant may change any Form Election or Timing Election made under Section 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 

  

 14 

	 	(ii)	Any 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 any 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 Distribution. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII, distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash unless prior to the distribution processing date that the Participant advises
the Committee in writing that he desires to receive payment of his vested Company Stock Accounts, if any, in Company Stock. The number of shares of Company Stock distributable to the Participant shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date the
Participant’s distribution from the Plan is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. Any portion of a payment that would be represented by a fractional share shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Participant’s vested Company Stock Accounts, if any, are paid to him in annual installments pursuant to Section 5.2.1, the number of shares of Company Stock initially distributed to the Participant shall be determined by multiplying the
value of the Participant’s Company Stock Accounts as of the date benefit payments are to commence 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. If a portion
of the initial payment would be represented by a fractional share, such portion shall be paid in cash. As of each February 1 after the first annual installment payment (the “Annual Valuation Date”), the number of shares of Company
Stock distributed to the Participant shall be determined by multiplying the value of the Participant’s Company Stock Accounts as of the Annual Valuation Date 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. If a portion of any subsequent installment payment would be represented by a fractional share, such portion shall be paid in cash. The Company Stock Account shall continue to be adjusted as
provided in Article VII until the entire balance credited to the Company Stock Account has been distributed. 
 5.2.5 Installment
Payments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2.4, 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 

  

 15 

 
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 Annual Valuation
Date, the amount of the monthly installment payment shall be adjusted so that for the twelve- 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 hereafter set forth: 
 5.3.1 Death Before Payments Begin. In the event that a Participant
dies before payment of his vested Accrued Benefit commences under Section 5.2, payment shall be made to the Beneficiary in cash under the Lump Sum Option described in Section 5.2.1. Payment shall be made within the 90-day period that
begins the 60th day next following the date of the Participant’s death; provided, however, 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 5.3.1 shall
be determined as of the Adjustment Date such distribution is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Article XVII, prior to the distribution processing date the Beneficiary
may advise the Committee in writing that he desires to have the Participant’s vested Company Stock Accounts, if any, paid to him in shares of Company Stock rather than in cash. The number of shares of Company Stock distributable to the
Beneficiary shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date that the death benefit from the Plan is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. Any portion of a payment that would be represented by a fractional share shall be paid in cash.

 5.3.2 Death After Payments Begin. In the event that a 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. 
  

 16 

 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
the forfeitable portion of his Matching Account) 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 purposes of this Article VI, 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. 
  

 17 

 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, however, 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 account which comprise the Account in the following order: (i) the Matching Account (but only to the extent of the vested portion of the Matching
Account); and (ii) the Salary Reduction 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 and the
Company Stock Account with respect to such separate bookkeeping account on a pro rata basis. 
  

 18 

 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. 

 

 19 

 ARTICLE VII 
 DEEMED INVESTMENTS AND ADJUSTMENT OF ACCOUNTS 
 7.1 Account Administration. The
Committee shall establish and maintain on behalf of each Participant the following separate bookkeeping accounts with respect to his Account: (i) Matching Account; and (ii) Salary Reduction Account. 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. With respect to each Participant who was a Participant in the SNC Excess Plan (as defined in Article XVI) or any other nonqualified plan that was merged into or consolidated with
the Plan and, at the time of such merger or consolidation, allowed the participants’ accounts to be deemed invested in the Company Stock Fund (the “Former Stock Plans”), the Committee shall also establish and maintain with respect to
his Salary Reduction Account and his Matching Account a sub-account entitled “Company Stock Account.” Each Participant who has a Company Stock Account shall sometimes be referred to herein as a “Former Stock Plan Participant.” In
no event shall the Committee establish and maintain a Company Stock Account on behalf of a Participant other than a Former Stock Plan Participant. 
 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 

  

 20 

 
invest in the Investment Funds shall continue in effect until such 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 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 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 any fractional shares shall be accounted for as such. 
 7.3 Deemed Investment in Company Stock by Former Stock Plan Participants. The amounts transferred from the accounts under the Former Stock Plans which were deemed invested in the Company Stock Fund shall remain deemed invested
in the Company Stock Fund. In no event shall any other amounts credited to Accounts under the Plan be deemed 

  

 21 

 
invested in the Company Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee, a Former Stock Plan Participant
who was a participant in one of the nonqualified plans described in Appendix D (each such Participant sometimes being referred to herein as a “Qualifying Former Stock Plan Participant”) may elect as of any Adjustment Date to have all or a
portion (in integral percentages) of his Company Stock Credits credited to his Company Stock Accounts deemed sold and the deemed cash proceeds therefrom credited to his Investment Fund Accounts in accordance with the most recent election made by the
Participant pursuant to Section 7.2. An election to sell Company Stock Credits shall be made by the Qualifying Former Stock Plan Participant in accordance with such rules and procedures as are adopted by the Committee from time to time and
shall be irrevocable when made. The value of any Company Stock Credits the Qualifying Former Stock Plan Participant has elected to be deemed sold shall be determined in the manner and as of the Adjustment Date described in procedures established by
the Committee. In the event the Committee shall change the manner in which the value of Company Stock Credits deemed sold from the Company Stock Accounts are determined, it shall communicate such change to Qualifying Former Stock Plan Participants
in writing in advance of the date such change is to be effective. All deemed cash dividends payable with respect to Company Stock Credits then allocated to the Participant’s Company Stock Accounts shall be credited to his applicable Investment
Fund Accounts in accordance with the most recent election made by the Participant pursuant to Section 7.2. Company Stock Credits which have not been deemed sold shall remain in the Company Stock Accounts and such Accounts shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 7.5. 
 7.4 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.

  

 22 

 (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. 
 (c) Finally, any
Investment Fund Credits forfeited with respect to the Investment Fund Account of the Matching Account since the next preceding Adjustment Date shall be debited. 
 7.5 Adjustment of Company Stock Account. As of the close of business of the Company on each Adjustment Date, the number of Company Stock Credits allocated to the Company Stock Account of each Participant
with respect to each separate bookkeeping account shall be adjusted in the following order: 
 (a) Any Company Stock Credits
deemed distributed or deemed sold from the Company Stock Account since the next preceding Adjustment Date shall be debited. 
 (b) Then, any additional shares of Company Stock Credits deemed issued in connection with any deemed dividends, a stock split, or similar transaction since the next preceding Adjustment Date with respect to Company Stock Credits allocated
to the Participant’s Company Stock Account, shall be credited. 
 (c) Finally, any Company Stock Credits forfeited with
respect to the Company Stock Account of the Matching Account since the next preceding Adjustment Date, shall be debited. 
 The aggregate number of Company
Stock Credits credited to any Company Stock Account may be appropriately adjusted as the Committee may determine for any increase or decrease in the number of shares of issued Company Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares,
whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, stock distribution or combination 

  

 23 

 
of shares, or the payment of a share dividend or other increase or decrease in the number of such shares outstanding effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company. Adjustments under this Section 7.5 shall be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and its decisions shall be binding and conclusive. 
 7.6 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.

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. 
 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. 
  

 26 

 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 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, and 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. 
 8.12 Committee Expenses. The Committee
shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for its reasonable expenses properly and actually incurred in the performance of its duties in the administration of the Plan. 
 8.13 Indemnification of Committee. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by him or on his behalf as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company 

  

 27 

 
shall indemnify and hold harmless, directly from its own assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums for 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. 
  

 28 

 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 or management employees. The obligation of the Employer to make payments hereunder may 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 shall 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. 
  

 29

responsibilities allocated to each, which shall be carried out in accordance with the other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan, shall be as follows:

 31 

 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
incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or institution is maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so
maintaining him. Payment to such person or institution shall be in full satisfaction of all claims by or through the Participant to the extent of the amount thereof. 
  

 32 

 ARTICLE XII 
 BENEFICIARY 
 The Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person or persons designated by
the Participant on the beneficiary designation form provided by and filed with the Committee or its designee. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse. If the Participant does not designate a
Beneficiary and has no Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. The designation of a Beneficiary may be changed or revoked only by filing a new beneficiary designation form with the Committee or its designee. If a
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. 
  

 33 

 ARTICLE XIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time;
provided, however, 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 Matching 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 VII
until the balance of the Account of the Participant has been fully distributed to him or his Beneficiary. 
  

 34 

 ARTICLE XIV 
 COMMUNICATION TO PARTICIPANTS 
 The Company shall communicate the principal terms of the Plan
to the Participants. The Company shall make a copy of the Plan available for inspection by Participants and their Beneficiaries during reasonable hours, at the principal office of the Company. 
  

 35 

 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). 
  

 36 

 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. 
  

 37 

 ARTICLE XVI 
 PARTIES TO THE PLAN 
 16.1 Adoption by Affiliates. Subject to the approval of
the Board, an Affiliate that has adopted the Savings Plan may adopt the Plan and become an employer-party to the Plan by resolutions approved by its Board of Directors. The Affiliates that are employer-parties to the Plan 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 employer-parties to the Plan are hereinafter set forth. 
 16.2 Single Plan. The Plan is a single plan with respect to all parties. 
 16.3 Service; Allocation of Costs. Service for purposes of the Plan shall be interchangeable among employer-parties 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-party to the Service of another employer-party. In determining the cost of providing benefits under the Plan, each employer-party
shall be responsible for the cost associated with the Employees of such employer-party 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-party 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-party. 
  

 38 

 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 imposed by Rule 16b-3 adopted under the 1934 Act. In addition to the provisions contained in the Plan, transactions by persons subject to Section 16 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, however, 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 other applicable securities laws. 
  

 39 

 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. 
 18.3 Reliance on Data. The Employer, the Committee, and the Plan Administrator shall
have the right to rely on any data provided by the Participant or by any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant; and the Employer, the Committee, and the Plan
Administrator shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any representation made at any time by a Participant or Beneficiary. 
  

 40 

 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 or the annual rate of compensation of any such pension for any period, 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. 
 18.8 Nonliability of Employer. The Employer does not guarantee the Participants, former Participants, or Beneficiaries against loss of or depreciation in value of any right or benefit that any of them
may acquire under the terms of the Plan, nor does the Employer guarantee to any of them that 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. 
  

 41 

 18.9 Severability. All provisions contained in the 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
such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
 18.11 Withholding
Taxes. The Employer shall satisfy all federal, state and local tax reporting and withholding tax requirements prior to making any benefit payment under the Plan. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made by the Employer in cash, such
payments shall be net of any amounts sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements. Whenever payments shall be made in Company Stock, the Employer shall have the right to require the Participant (or Beneficiary) to
remit to the Employer an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements as a condition to the registration of the transfer of such Company Stock on the books of the Company. 
 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

  

 42 

 
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. 
 18.13. Compliance with
Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent that Section 409A is deemed to apply to the Plan, it is the intention of Company that the Plan shall comply with
Section 409A, and the Plan shall, to the extent practicable, be construed 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 E 
 SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PRIOR PLANS 
 E.1 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO SOUTHERN
NATIONAL ESOP EXCESS PLAN. Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company sponsored and maintained the Southern National ESOP Excess Plan (the “SNC Excess Plan”). The purpose of the SNC Excess Plan was to restore to employees certain
benefits (“restoration benefits”) that would have been provided under the Southern National Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly known as the “Southern National Employee Stock Ownership Plan”) except for the limitations
imposed by Sections 401(k)(3) and 402(g)(1) of the Code. Since the restoration benefits provided by the SNC Excess Plan are now provided pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Plan (and which restoration benefits were also provided under the SNC
Plan and the Plan prior to this restatement), the SNC Excess Plan was frozen as of December 31, 1995. All employees who were participants in the SNC Excess Plan on December 31,1995, automatically became Participants in the SNC Plan on
January 1, 1996. All participants’ accounts under the SNC Excess Plan were combined with the separate bookkeeping accounts of similar character under the Plan as of January 1, 1997. Each Former SNC Excess Plan Participant’s
Tax-Deferred Contribution Account (formerly known as his “Employee’s Pre-Tax Account”) under the SNC Excess Plan became his Salary Reduction Account under the Plan. Each Former SNC Excess Plan Participant’s Matching Contributions
Account (formerly known as his “Company’s Pre-Tax Account”) became his Matching Account under the Plan. The balance in the accounts of each Former SNC Excess Plan Participant under the SNC Excess Plan were deemed invested in Company
Stock. The amounts transferred from the accounts under the SNC Excess Plan to the separate bookkeeping accounts of similar character under the Plan shall remain deemed invested in Company Stock until a Former SNC Excess Plan Participant elects not
to have such amounts deemed invested in Company Stock as provided in Section 7.3. 
  

 E-1 

 E.2 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN FOR ELIGIBLE KEY EMPLOYEES OF SOUTHERN
NATIONAL CORPORATION. Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company sponsored and maintained the Capital Accumulation Plan for Eligible Key Employees of Southern National Corporation (the “SNC Cap Plan”). The purpose of the SNC Cap
Plan was to provide selected eligible key employees with the opportunity to defer on a pre-tax basis certain cash awards under the Company’s annual and long-term incentive compensation award plans. Since the pre-tax deferral opportunity is
provided under Section 3.3 of the Plan (and was also provided under the SNC Plan), the SNC Cap Plan was frozen as of December 31, 1995. All employees who were participants in the SNC Cap Plan automatically became Participants in the SNC
Plan on January 1, 1996. Any deferrals credited to a Participant’s account under the SNC Cap Plan were combined with the credits to his Incentive Compensation Account under the Plan effective as of January 1, 1997. 
 E.3 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT OF SNC PLAN. Prior to January 1, 1997, Section 4.1 of the SNC
Plan provided a special supplemental retirement benefit (the “Retirement Plan Supplement”) to supplement the benefits payable to Participants under the tax-qualified Southern National Corporation Pension Plan (the defined benefit plan
sponsored by BB&T which formerly had been known as the “Retirement Plan for the Employees of Branch Banking and Trust Company”). The provisions of the SNC Plan relating to the Retirement Plan Supplement have been incorporated into the
non-qualified supplemental retirement plan which became effective as of January 1, 1997 and which is known as the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan.
