BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2002
(Unaudited)
A. Basis of Presentation
| In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (referred to herein as "BB&T", "the Corporation" or "the Company") as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001; the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001; the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001; and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. |
| The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the footnotes included in BB&T's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In certain instances, amounts reported in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on shareholders' equity or net income. |
Use of Estimates
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets or liabilities. |
B. Nature of Operations
| BB&T is a financial holding company headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. BB&T conducts its business operations primarily through its commercial banking subsidiaries, which do business in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana and Washington, D.C. BB&T's principal banking subsidiaries, Branch Banking and Trust Company ("Branch Bank"), Branch Banking and Trust Company of South Carolina ("BB&T-SC") and Branch Banking and Trust Company of Virginia ("BB&T-VA"), provide a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses. At March 31, 2002, BB&T was also the parent company for three subsidiary banks acquired through mergers with Community First Banking Company ("CFBC"), AREA Bancshares Corporation ("AREA") and MidAmerica Bancorp ("MidAmerica"). These banks are expected to be merged with and into Branch Bank based on the location of their operations. BB&T's subsidiary banks offer a variety of loans to businesses and consumers, including an array of mortgage loan products. BB&T's loans are primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses that are located in this geographic area. BB&T's banking subsidiaries also market a wide range of deposit services to individuals and businesses. Subsidiaries of BB&T's commercial banking units offer lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; discount brokerage services and sales of annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis; insurance premium financing; arranging permanent financing for commercial real estate and providing loan servicing for third-party investors; and asset management.

C. New Accounting Pronouncements
| In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,“Business Combinations,” which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16,“BusinessCombinations,” and SFAS No. 38, “Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” The provisions of the Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. This method requires the accounts of an acquired business to be included with the acquirer’s accounts as of the date of acquisition with any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired to be capitalized as goodwill. The Statement also requires that the assets of an acquired company be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet specific criteria presented in the Statement. The Statement ends the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, which required the restatement of all prior period information for the accounts of the acquired institution. BB&T has historically been a frequent acquirer and has used both the pooling-of-interests and purchase methods of accounting. As a result of the adoption of this statement, BB&T will account for all mergers and acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001, using the purchase method. |
| In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,“Intangible Assets.”SFAS 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition, and addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The Statement eliminates the requirement to amortize goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, instead requiring that the assets be tested at least annually for impairment based on the specific guidance in the Statement. BB&T adopted the provisions of the Statement effective January 1, 2002, as required, and applied the provisions of the Statement to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the financial statements. The impact of adoption was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Consolidated Statements of Income, resulting from the reversal of unamortized negative goodwill. Following the adoption of SFAS No. 142, BB&T expects the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles to be reduced by approximately $50 million for 2002. SFAS No. 142 also requires a transitional impairment test of all goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in conjunction with its initial application. The Statement requires this test to be performed prior to June 30, 2002, and requires any resulting impairment loss to be reported as a change in accounting principle. BB&T has completed transitional impairment tests on its goodwill assets and, based on the results of these tests, management does not anticipate that any material impairment losses will be recorded in 2002. |

| In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143,“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,”which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Statement is effective beginning January 1, 2003. Management does not expect the implementation of the Statement to have a material impact on either BB&T’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. |
| In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which supercedes SFAS No. 121,“Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,“Reporting the Results of Operations –Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusualand Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The Statement establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by a sale, and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The provisions of the Statement were adopted by BB&T on January 1, 2002. The implementation did not have a material impact on either BB&T’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. |
| In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and TechnicalCorrections as of April 2002". This Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4,“Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64,“Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44,“Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers” and amends SFAS No. 13,“Accounting for Leases”,to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. BB&T will adopt the provisions of this Statement effective January 1, 2003. Management does not anticipate that the implementation of this Statement will have a material impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. |

In conjunction with these 2001 transactions, BB&T issued 325,000 shares of common stock and recorded $16.5 million in goodwill and other intangible assets. |
| BB&T typically provides an allocation period, not to exceed one year, to identify and quantify the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations accounted for as purchases. Management currently does not anticipate any material adjustments to the assigned values of the assets and liabilities of acquired companies. |

F. Segment Disclosures
| BB&T’s operations are divided into six reportable business segments: the Banking Network, Mortgage Banking, Trust Services, Agency Insurance, Investment Banking and Brokerage, and Treasury. These operating segments have been identified based primarily on BB&T’s existing organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of the business segments that report to them. |
| BB&T’s strategies for revenue growth are focused on developing and expanding client relationships through quality service delivery and an effective sales culture. The segment results presented herein are based on internal management accounting policies that are designed to support these strategic objectives. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the performance of the individual segments is not comparable with BB&T’s consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not necessarily indicative of the segments’financial performance if they operated as independent entities. |

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of BB&T. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T, and on the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly; (2) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduced demand for credit; (4) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T is engaged; (5) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners may be greater than expected; (6) expected cost savings associated with pending mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (7) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss following pending or recently completed mergers may be greater than expected; (8) competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T; and (9) adverse changes may occur in the securities markets.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BB&T’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include BB&T’s accounting for securities, loans and leases, the allowance for loan and lease losses, valuation of mortgage servicing rights, mergers and acquisitions and income taxes. BB&T’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Accordingly, BB&T’s significant accounting pollicies are discussed in detail in BB&T’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following is a summary of BB&T’s more subjective and complex accounting policies.
17
The allowance for loan and lease losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is based on management’s evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio and change in the nature and volume of loan activity. Estimates for loan losses are arrived at by analyzing historical loan losses, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, plans for problem loan administration, the opinions of our regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and peer group information. Also included in management’s estimates for loan losses are considerations with respect to the impact of economic events, the outcome of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, a general slowdown in the economy, fluctuations in overall lending rates, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry and economic conditions affecting specific geographical areas in which BB&T conducts business.
BB&T’s mortgage banking business has experienced significant growth in recent years. BB&T has a significant loan servicing portfolio and has capitalized the associated mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights represent the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. The most critical accounting policy associated with mortgage servicing is the methodology used to determine the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Application of this methodology requires the development of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of principal. The value of mortgage servicing rights is significantly affected by interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of mortgage servicing assets declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of servicing assets generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. BB&T amortizes mortgage servicing rights over the period of estimated net servicing income based on projections of the amount and timing of future cash flows. The amount and timing of servicing asset amortization is adjusted periodically based on actual results and updated projections.
BB&T’s growth in business, profitability and market share over the past several years has been enhanced significantly by mergers and acquisitions. BB&T’s acquisition strategy has historically utilized the pooling-of-interests and purchase business combination methods of accounting. Effective July 1, 2001, BB&T adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which allows only the use of the purchase combination method of accounting. For acquisitions under the purchase method, BB&T is required to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. These estimates also include the establishment of various reserves based on planned facilities dispositions and employee benefit related considerations, among other acquisition-related items. In addition, purchase acquisitions typically result in goodwill or other intangible assets, which are subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles. Furthermore, the determination of which intangible assets have finite lives is subjective, as well as the determination of the amortization period for such intangible assets.
18
The determination of BB&T’s overall income tax provision is complex and requires careful analysis. As part of the Company’s overall business strategy, BB&T may enter into business transactions that require management to consider tax laws and regulations that apply to the specific facts and circumstances under consideration. This analysis includes evaluating the amount and timing of the realization of income tax liabilities or benefits. Management continually monitors tax developments as they affect the Company’s overall tax position.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
BB&T’s total assets at March 31, 2002, were $74.9 billion, a $4.1 billion, or 5.8%, increase from December 31, 2001. The asset category that produced the majority of the increase was loans and leases, including loans held for sale, which grew $2.7 billion, or 5.7%. Additionally, securities available for sale increased $893.5 million, or 5.4%, from December 31, 2001.
Total deposits at March 31, 2002, increased $3.7 billion, or 8.4%, from December 31, 2001. Short-term borrowed funds declined $605.7 million, or 9.1%, and long-term debt decreased $277.0 million, or 2.4%, during the first three months of 2002. Total shareholders’equity increased $905.2 million, or 14.7%, during the same time frame.
The factors causing the fluctuations in these major balance sheet categories are further discussed in the following sections.
Loans and Leases
BB&T’s loan growth slowed during the first quarter of 2002 compared to growth rates experienced during the past few years. Average total loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, increased $2.5 billion, or 5.6%, compared to the same period in 2001.
Management emphasizes lending to small and medium-sized businesses and consumer lending in order to improve the overall profitability of the loan portfolio. Average commercial loans, including lease receivables, increased 6.9% during the first three months of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. Commercial loans and leases now compose 55.1% of the loan and lease portfolio compared to 54.4% for the first three months of 2001. Average mortgage loans increased 4.3% during the first three months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 and represented 19.1% of average loans and leases at March 31, 2002, compared to 19.4% a year ago. Average consumer loans, which include sales finance, revolving credit and direct retail, increased 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001 and compose the remaining 25.8% of average loans, as compared to 26.2% for the same period in 2001. BB&T is a large originator of mortgage loans, with first quarter 2002 originations totaling $2.8 billion and has also historically been a frequent acquirer of community banks and thrift institutions. The combination of these factors has driven up the percentage of mortgage loans in BB&T’s portfolio. On a relative basis, mortgage loans are less profitable than commercial or consumer loans. To improve the overall yield and profitability of the loan portfolio, BB&T sells most of its fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market or securitizes the loans and transfers them to the securities portfolio. However, due to the low interest rate environment and resulting high volumes of mortgage loan originations and the inventory of mortgage loans held for sale, the mix of the consolidated loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2002, as indicated above, was very similar to that of one year ago.
19
The growth rates of average loans described above include the effects of securitization programs and loan portfolios held by companies that were acquired in purchase transactions during the last nine months of 2001 and the first three months of 2002. BB&T securitized $377.4 million of mortgage loans during 2001, which reduced reported growth in average mortgage loans. During the first three months of 2002, loans totaling $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion were acquired through the purchases of AREA and MidAmerica, respectively. During the last nine months of 2001, loans totaling $442.4 million and $368.8 million were acquired through the purchases of Virginia Capital Bancshares (“VCAP”) of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and CFBC, respectively. Excluding the effect of purchase accounting transactions completed during 2001 and 2002 and mortgage loan securitizations, average “internal”loan growth for the three months ended March 31, 2002, was 3.4% compared to the first quarter of 2001. By category, excluding the effects of purchase accounting transactions and loan securitizations, average mortgage loans, including loans held for sale, were flat, average commercial loans and leases grew 5.5%, and average consumer loans increased 1.8% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001.
The annualized fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) yields on commercial, consumer and mortgage loans for the first three months of 2002 were 6.33%, 8.74%, and 7.33%, respectively, resulting in an annualized yield on the total loan portfolio of 7.14%. The FTE yields on commercial, consumer and mortgage loans for the first three months of 2001 were 9.25%, 10.26%, and 7.59%, respectively, resulting in an annualized yield on the total loan portfolio of 9.19%. This reflects a decrease of 205 basis points on the annualized yield on the total loan portfolio during the first three months of 2002 compared to the 2001 period. The decrease in yield resulted from a lower average prime rate during 2001, as well as a lower overall interest rate environment. During 2001, the Federal Reserve reduced the intended Federal Funds Rate from 6.50% at the beginning of the year to 1.75% at year-end where it has remained throughout the first quarter of 2002. As a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s actions, the average prime rate, which is the basis for pricing many commercial and consumer loans, averaged 8.62% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 4.75% in the first quarter of 2002. The growth in the overall loan portfolio, offset by the decrease in the yield on the portfolio, resulted in a decrease of 17.2% in interest income from loans and leases in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2001.
Securities
Securities available for sale totaled $17.5 billion at March 31, 2002, an increase of $893.5 million, or 5.4%, from December 31, 2001. Securities available for sale had net unrealized gains, net of deferred income taxes, of $160.4 million at March 31, 2002, compared to net unrealized gains, net of deferred income taxes, of $288.1 million at December 31, 2001. Securities held to maturity totaled $44.2 million, up $3.7 million, or 9.1%, from year-end 2001. Trading securities totaled $144.0 million, an increase of $46.3 million, or 47.4%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2001.
20
Average total securities for the first three months of 2002 were $16.5 billion, up $740.0 million, or 4.7%, from the average during the first three months of 2001.
The annualized FTE yield on average total securities for the first three months of 2002 was 6.61%, a decrease of 64 basis points from the yield earned in the first three months of 2001. This decrease in yield resulted principally from the lower interest rate environment, which resulted in cash flows from the maturity of higher yielding securities, callable bonds and prepayments of mortgage backed securities during 2001 and 2002 being reinvested at lower interest rates.
Other Interest Earning Assets
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements or similar arrangements totaled $269.7 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of $23.7 million, or 9.6%, compared to December 31, 2001. Interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $51.4 million, or 44.8%, from December 31, 2001. These categories of earning assets are subject to large daily fluctuations based on the availability of these types of funds. The average yield on other interest-earning assets for the first three months of 2002 was 2.22%, a decrease from the 5.47% earned during the first three months of 2001. The decrease in the yield on other interest-earning assets is principally the result of the decrease in the average Federal funds rate from 5.59% for the first three months of 2001 to 1.74% for the first three months of 2002.
Other Assets
BB&T’s other noninterest-earning assets, excluding premises and equipment and noninterest-bearing cash and due from banks, increased $853.2 million from December 31, 2001, to March 31, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from goodwill, which increased $518.4 million due to the acquisitions of AREA, MidAmerica and CRC, higher capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which increased $27.3 million and core deposit and other intangibles, which increased $115.2 million.
Deposits
Total end of period deposits increased $3.7 billion, or 8.4%, from December 31, 2001, to March 31, 2002. Average deposits for the first three months of 2002 increased $2.7 billion, or 6.2%, compared to the first three months of 2001. The categories of deposits with the highest average rates of growth in 2002 compared to 2001 were: average money rate savings accounts, including investor deposit accounts, which increased $2.0 billion, or 16.7%, and average noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $680.9 million, or 11.7%. The growth realized in these deposit categories was partially offset by a decline of $295.6 million, or 8.5%, in average savings and interest checking.
21
The growth in average deposits for 2002 includes the effect of deposits acquired in purchase accounting transactions completed during the last nine months of 2001 and the first three months of 2002. The purchase of AREA and MidAmerica in the first quarter of 2002 resulted in the addition of $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion in deposits, respectively. During the last nine months of 2001, the purchase of VCAP and CFBC added $381.6 million and $428.4 million in deposits, respectively. Growth rates for noninterest-bearing deposits are also affected by an official check outsourcing program, which has improved fee income and net income, but reduced the balance of noninterest-bearing deposits. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting transactions and official check outsourcing, average deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2002, would have increased 3.1% compared to the same time period one year ago. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting and official check outsourcing, transaction account deposits increased 9.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001, and certificate accounts and other time deposits would have decreased 2.7%.
The annualized average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits during the first three months of 2002 was 2.69%, a decrease of 219 basis points compared to 2001.
Borrowings
The growth in loans, securities and other assets in recent years has exceeded the growth of total deposits. As a result, cost-effective alternative funding sources have been increasingly utilized in recent years to support balance sheet growth. However, the slowdown in loan growth that has characterized 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, combined with consistent growth in deposits during this time frame, has produced decreases in short-term and long-term funding sources other than deposits.
At March 31, 2002, short-term borrowed funds totaled $6.0 billion, a decrease of $605.7 million, or 9.1%, compared to December 31, 2001. For the first quarter of 2002, average short-term borrowed funds totaled $5.9 billion, a decrease of $673.4 million, or 10.2%, from the comparable period of 2001. The average annualized rate paid on short-term borrowed funds was 1.81% for the first quarter of 2002, a decrease of 364 basis points from the average rate of 5.45% paid in the first quarter of 2001. This decrease in the cost of short-term borrowed funds resulted from the lower interest rate environment that has existed during 2002 compared to 2001, which included a 385 basis point decrease in the average Federal funds rate from the first quarter of 2001 to the first quarter of 2002.
22
Long-term debt consists primarily of FHLB advances, medium term bank notes and corporate subordinated debt. These borrowings provide BB&T with the flexibility to structure borrowings in a manner that aids in the management of interest rate risk and liquidity. Long-term debt totaled $11.4 billion at March 31, 2002, a decrease of $277.0 million, or 2.4%, from the balance at December 31, 2001. For the first quarter of 2002, average long-term debt totaled $11.6 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 10.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. Long-term debt has been utilized for a variety of funding needs, including the repurchase of common stock. The substantial increase in average long-term borrowings during the year reflects BB&T’s efforts to take advantage of low interest rates and lower funding costs. The average annualized rate paid on long-term borrowed funds was 5.19% for the first quarter of 2002, a decrease of 60 basis points from the average rate of 5.79% paid in the first quarter of 2001.
23
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, composed of foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and restructured loans, totaled $422.3 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $373.6 million at December 31, 2001. Nonperforming assets, as a percentage of loan-related assets, were ..84% at March 31, 2002, compared to .79% at December 31, 2001. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest totaled $101.0 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $101.8 million at year-end 2001.
Net charge-offs totaled $56.2 million for the first quarter and amounted to .48% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, compared to $28.9 million, or .26% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the corresponding period in 2001.
While the slowdown in the economy has resulted in increases in nonperforming assets and net charge-offs during the first quarter, BB&T’s lending strategy, which focuses on relationship-based lending within our markets and smaller individual loan balances, continues to produce superior credit quality in good and bad economic times. BB&T’s asset quality, as measured by relative levels of nonperforming assets and net charge-offs, has remained approximately half that of published industry averages.
The allowance for loan and lease losses was $705.9 million, or 1.41% of loans and leases, at March 31, 2002, compared to $644.4 million, or 1.36% of loans and leases, at December 31, 2001. The increase in the allowance as a percentage of loans and leases reflects higher provisions for loan and lease losses in view of the economic slowdown and resulting higher nonperforming assets and net charge-offs, and the impact of institutions acquired by BB&T in the first quarter of 2002 that had higher allowance to loan ratios than BB&T.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the first quarter of 2002 was $56.5 million, compared to $42.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2001. The increased provision during 2002 was necessary to cover higher net charge-offs, as discussed above, and to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Asset quality statistics for the last five calendar quarters are presented in the accompanying table.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to minimize the effect that changes in interest rates have on net interest income. This is accomplished through active management of asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of maturity mixes for assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. BB&T’s Asset / Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) monitors loan, investment and liability portfolios to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.
25
The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. It is the responsibility of the ALCO to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The ALCO also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The ALCO meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates is within acceptable standards.
The majority of assets and liabilities of financial institutions are monetary in nature and differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets and inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, BB&T is positioned to respond to changing interest rates and inflationary trends.
Management uses Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis (“Simulation”) to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and any commitments to enter into those transactions. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a computer model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios of projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap.
The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.
26
The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months under the “most likely”interest rate scenario incorporated into the Interest Sensitivity Simulation computer model. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets; cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, changes in market condition, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity; customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in net interest income reflects the level of sensitivity that net interest income has in relation to changing interest rates.

Management has established parameters for asset/liability management which prescribe a maximum impact on net interest income of 3% for a 150 basis point parallel change in interest rates over six months from the most likely interest rate scenario, and a maximum of 6% for a 300 basis point change over 12 months. It is management’s ongoing objective to effectively manage the impact of changes in interest rates and minimize the resulting effect on earnings as evidenced by the preceding table. At March 31, 2002, the sensitivity of BB&T’s net interest income to changes in interest rates was within the guidelines established by management, as illustrated in the accompanying table.
Derivative Financial Instruments
BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to manage various financial risks. These instruments, commonly referred to as derivatives, primarily consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. BB&T uses derivatives primarily to hedge business loans, forecasted sales of mortgage loans, federal funds purchased, long-term debt and certificates of deposit.
27
Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable. The risk of loss with any counterparty is limited to a small fraction of the notional amount. BB&T deals only with national market makers with strong credit ratings in its derivatives activities. BB&T further controls the risk of loss by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans and other extensions of credit. All of the derivative contracts to which BB&T is a party settle monthly, quarterly or semiannually. Further, BB&T has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business. Because of these factors, BB&T’s credit risk exposure at March 31, 2002, was not material.
Derivative contracts are written in amounts referred to as notional amounts. Notional amounts only provide the basis for calculating payments between counterparties and do not represent amounts to be exchanged between parties or a measure of financial risk. On March 31, 2002, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $5.2 billion. The estimated fair value of open contracts reflected net unrealized gains of $46.9 million at March 31, 2002.
The following table sets forth certain information concerning BB&T’s derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2002:

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES
The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on an ongoing basis. BB&T's principal goals related to capital are to provide an adequate return to shareholders while retaining a sufficient base to support future growth and comply with all regulatory standards.
28
Total shareholders’equity was $7.1 billion at March 31, 2002, compared to $6.2 billion at December 31, 2001. BB&T’s book value per common share at March 31, 2002, was $14.66 compared to $13.50 at December 31, 2001.
Financial holding companies and their subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements with respect to risk-based capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios measure capital as a percentage of balance sheet risk. The risk-weighted values of balance sheet items are determined in accordance with risk factors specified by Federal regulatory pronouncements.
Tier 1 capital (total shareholders’equity excluding unrealized gains (losses) on debt securities available for sale and unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges, net of deferred income taxes, plus certain mandatorily redeemable capital securities, less nonqualifying intangible assets) is required to be at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, and total capital (Tier 1 capital, a qualifying portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses and qualifying subordinated debt) must be at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, with one half of the minimum consisting of Tier 1 capital.
In addition to the risk-based capital measures described above, regulators have also established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. This is the primary measure of capital adequacy used by BB&T’s management, and is calculated by dividing period-end Tier 1 capital by average tangible assets for the most recent quarter. The minimum required Tier 1 leverage ratio ranges from 3% to 5% depending upon Federal bank regulatory agency evaluation of an organization’s overall safety and soundness.
BB&T’s capital ratios at the end of the last five quarters are presented in the accompanying table:

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 2002 totaled $309.6 million, an increase of 30.9% compared to the $236.5 million earned during the comparable quarter of 2001. On a diluted per share basis, earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2002, were $.66, compared to $.51 for the same period in 2001, an increase of 29.4%. BB&T’s operating results for the first quarter of 2002 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.76% and an annualized return on average shareholders’equity of 19.41% compared to prior year ratios of 1.43% and 17.48%, respectively.
BB&T recorded certain items related principally to the consummation of mergers and acquisitions during both 2002 and 2001. For the first quarter of 2002, BB&T recorded $9.4 million in net after-tax charges primarily associated with the mergers of CFBC, AREA and MidAmerica, as well as systems conversion costs related to other mergers. During the first quarter of 2001, BB&T incurred $24.9 million in net after-tax charges primarily associated with the acquisitions of FCNB Corp. of Frederick, Maryland, and systems conversion costs related to other mergers. Merger-related charges typically include, but are not limited to, personnel-related expenses such as staff relocation, severance benefits, early retirement packages and contract settlements; occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses including branch consolidation; and other costs, such as operational charge-offs, professional fees, etc. The charges incurred during the first quarter of 2002 were offset by a $9.8 million gain resulting from the implementation of SFAS No. 142, which required any existing negative goodwill to be recognized as income effective January 1, 2002. This gain is classified separately as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In the aggregate, these merger-related items, combined with the cumulative effect adjustment, did not materially affect net income in 2002; however, merger-related costs reduced net income in the first quarter of 2001 by $24.9 million.
Excluding the effect of the above-described merger-related items and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on operating results for both 2002 and 2001, BB&T’s net income for the first quarter of 2002 would have totaled $309.2 million, an increase of 18.3% over the $261.4 million that would have been earned during the first quarter of 2001.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income on an FTE basis was $685.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $634.4 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $50.9 million, or 8.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, average earning assets increased $3.2 billion, or 5.3%, compared to the same period of 2001, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.4 billion, or 4.5%. The net interest margin increased from 4.14% in the first quarter of 2001 to 4.26% in the current quarter. The twelve basis point improvement in the net interest margin was the result of the average cost of funds decreasing faster than yields earned on interest-earning assets. The average cost of funds in the first quarter of 2002 decreased 202 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2001, while the average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased 169 basis points, increasing the interest rate spread by 33 basis points and the net interest margin by 12 basis points.
The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2002, was $374.7 million compared to $332.0 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $42.7 million, or 12.9%. The increase was principally the result of substantially higher mortgage banking income, growth in service charges on deposits, growth in insurance commissions from BB&T’s agency network, and higher investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions. Excluding merger-related items, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and the growth in noninterest income that resulted from the timing of purchase accounting transactions, noninterest income would have increased 15.0% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001.
Noninterest income, excluding merger-related items and the cumulative effect item previously discussed, as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income excluding merger-related items, or the “fee income ratio”, was 35.1% for the first quarter of 2002, compared to 32.3% in the first quarter of 2001. This increase indicates that BB&T is deriving a greater percentage of its revenues from noninterest income sources. It is a primary goal of BB&T to increase this ratio, as it provides a source of income less dependent on movements in interest rates.
Service charges on deposits totaled $90.2 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $10.7 million, or 13.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. The largest components of the growth within service charges on deposits were NSF and overdraft charges on personal accounts and account analysis fees on commercial accounts, which contributed $3.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, to the increase in the first quarter of 2002 compared to 2001.
Trust income totaled $23.1 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 7.8%, compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in trust income for the quarter reflects a decrease in asset management fees. Assets under management totaled $20.1 billion at March 31, 2002, up from $15.3 billion at March 31, 2001. This significant increase in trust assets under management reflects trust assets of companies acquired through purchase accounting. Through the acquisitions of AREA and MidAmerica, BB&T acquired trust assets totaling $2.6 billion.
Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions totaled $52.9 million during the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $9.2 million, or 21.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. The increase in this category of revenue for the first quarter resulted primarily from an increase in trading income, fees from advisory and consulting services and management of third party investment portfolios from Scott & Stringfellow, BB&T’s wholly-owned investment banking and brokerage subsidiary.
Agency insurance commissions totaled $63.9 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $21.9 million, or 52.3%, compared to the same three month period of 2001. The growth in revenue resulted primarily from the purchase of additional agencies during 2001 and 2002, as well as internal growth. The purchase of Cooney, Rikard & Curtin, Inc. (“CRC”) in January 2002 contributed $13.2 million in revenue growth for the first quarter of 2002. Additionally, property and casualty insurance commissions increased $4.3 million, contingent insurance commissions increased $1.8 million and title insurance commissions increased $1.2 million.
33
Income from mortgage banking activities totaled $50.6 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $44.4 million compared to the same period of 2001. In 2002, a $9.8 million valuation allowance was provided reducing the value of BB&T’s capitalized mortgage servicing rights as a result of the declining interest rate environment. In the first quarter of 2001, a similar valuation totaling $35.0 million was recorded. Excluding these valuation provisions, mortgage income would have been $60.3 million for 2002 and $41.2 million for 2001, an increase of $19.1 million, or 46.5%. Mortgage loan originations totaled $2.8 billion for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2001. These higher mortgage loan volumes produced increased mortgage banking fees in 2002. Servicing fee income increased $4.2 million; origination fees on loans sold increased $5.5 million; gains from loan sales increased $7.1 million and mortgage loan underwriting fees increased $2.9 million.
Other nondeposit fees and commissions totaled $44.1 million for the first quarter of 2002, a decrease of $.3 million, or .7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001.
BB&T realized a $13.4 million gain from sales of securities in the first quarter of 2002 compared to a gain of $72.7 million in the first quarter last year, which included a $63.0 million pretax gain on an investment in an electronic transaction processing company. Excluding the $63.0 million gain, securities gains for the first quarter of 2001 would have been $9.7 million. The increase in the 2002 gains, exclusive of the gain from the sale of the investment in the transaction processing company, totaled $3.7 million.
Other income totaled $33.1 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $17.4 million, or 111.2%, compared to the same period one year ago. Income from investments in bank owned life insurance increased $5.7 million from the 2001 period. Additionally, a $5.8 million gain was recognized in the first quarter of 2002 in connection with the demutualization of Principal Financial Group (“PFG”), which resulted in BB&T receiving stock in exchange for investments in bank owned life insurance with PFG. These increases were offset by a decrease in amortization of negative goodwill, which totaled $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses totaled $548.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $538.5 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $9.8 million, or 1.8%. Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2002 includes $14.6 million of pretax expenses principally associated with the mergers of CFBC, AREA and MidAmerica, and costs incurred in connection with the integration of other recently completed acquisitions. Excluding these merger-related charges, noninterest expenses would have totaled $533.7 million, an increase of $49.0 million, or 10.1%, over the same period one year ago. Excluding the effects of business combinations accounted for as purchases that were completed in the last nine months of 2001 and first three months of 2002, and the aforementioned merger-related expenses, noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2002 would have increased 4.1% from the comparable period of 2001.
34
BB&T’s efficiency ratio (noninterest expenses, excluding the merger-related expenses referred to above and costs related to foreclosed assets, as a percentage of FTE net interest income plus noninterest income excluding merger-related items and securities gains and losses) was 50.5% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 51.7% for the first quarter of 2001.
Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $305.6 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $286.3 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $19.4 million, or 6.8%. These amounts include merger-related costs of $.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2001. Excluding the merger-related charges from both years, personnel expense in the 2002 quarter would have increased $30.6 million, or 11.1%, from the 2001 period. This increase was primarily the result of purchase acquisitions, which added costs of $13.8 million, an increase of $2.0 million in insurance incentive compensation, an increase in pension expense of $3.8 million, an increase of $4.6 million in employee mortgage loan incentive compensation and an increase of $2.9 million in employee investment incentive compensation. Excluding the effects of the merger-related charges and purchase acquisitions, personnel expense for the first quarter of 2002 would have increased $11.8 million, or 4.3%, over the first quarter of 2001.
Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002, totaled $86.2 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 4.4%, compared to 2001. These amounts include merger-related charges of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2001. Excluding the merger-related charges, occupancy and equipment expense would have increased $8.3 million, or 11.0%, compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in information technology equipment expense in the amount of $3.0 million and an increase in rent on buildings and premises in the amount of $2.6 million. Additionally, the acquisitions of CRC, MidAmerica and CFBC contributed $1.7 million to occupancy and equipment expense. Excluding the effects of the merger-related charges and purchase acquisitions, occupancy and equipment expense for the first quarter of 2002 would have increased $5.9 million, or 7.8%, over the first quarter of 2001.
The amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 75.7%, from the amount incurred in the first quarter of 2001. This decrease is due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which ended the amortization of goodwill effective July 1, 2001, as previously discussed herein.
Other noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2002 totaled $152.1 million, an increase of $.3 million, or .2%, compared to 2001. These amounts include merger-related costs of $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2001. Excluding these costs, other noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002, would have increased $23.7 million, or 20.2%, from the comparable 2001 period. This increase is due to increases in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $15.9 million and an increase in data processing software expense in the amount of $2.3 million. Also, the acquisitions of CRC, MidAmerica and CFBC, consummated using purchase accounting, added $3.2 million to other noninterest expense.
35
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes totaled $117.3 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $16.9 million, or 16.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. Excluding the tax benefits associated with merger-related charges from all periods presented, the provision for income taxes would have been $122.6 million during the first quarter of 2002 and $112.1 million for the first quarter of 2001. These amounts represent an increase of $10.5 million, or 9.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. The effective tax rates on pretax income were 28.1% and 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Excluding the effect of merger-related charges on pretax income and the income tax provision, BB&T’s effective income tax rates were 28.4% and 30.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
During 2001 and 2000, BB&T entered into option contracts which legally transferred part of the responsibility for the future residual management of certain leveraged lease investments including the future remarketing or re-leasing of these assets to a wholly-owned subsidiary in a foreign jurisdiction having a lower income tax rate, thereby lowering the effective income tax rate applicable to these lease investments. These option contracts provide that the foreign subsidiary may purchase the lease investments at expiration of the existing leveraged leases for a fixed price. As a result, a portion of the residual value included in the consolidated leveraged lease analysis should be taxed at a lower tax rate than originally anticipated, resulting in a change in the total net income from the lease. In accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", the net income from the affected leases was recalculated from inception based on the new effective income tax rate. The recalculation had the effect of reducing net interest income for 2001 and 2000 by $40.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, and reducing the 2001 income tax provision by $56.6 million and the tax provision for 2000 by $19.8 million. BB&T intends to permanently reinvest the earnings of this subsidiary and, therefore, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", deferred income taxes associated with the foreign subsidiary arising from these transactions have not been provided.
BB&T transferred certain securities and real estate secured loans to a wholly-owned subsidiary in exchange for additional common equity in the subsidiary. The transaction produced a difference between BB&T’s tax basis in the equity investment in the subsidiary and the assets transferred to the subsidiary, resulting in a net reduction in the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2002.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is conducting an examination of BB&T’s Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In connection with this examination the IRS has issued Notices of Proposed Adjustment with respect to BB&T’s income tax treatment of certain leveraged lease investments that were entered into during the years under examination. Management believes that BB&T’s treatment of these leveraged leases was appropriate and in compliance with existing tax laws and regulations, and intends to vigorously defend this position. In addition, inasmuch as the proposed adjustments relate primarily to the timing of revenue recognition and amortization expense, deferred taxes have been provided. Management does not expect that BB&T’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations will be materially adversely affected as a result of the IRS examination.
36
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The nature of the business of BB&T's banking subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of litigation. The subsidiaries of BB&T are involved in various legal proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the liabilities arising from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of BB&T.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to appoint or reappoint the Employee to any committee or task force of BB&T or the Employer be treated as a breach of this Agreement by BB&T or the Employer, or as a termination of the employment of the Employee. The Employee hereby accepts and agrees to such service and employment, subject to the general supervision and pursuant to the orders, advice, and direction of the Employer, BB&T and their Boards of Directors. The Employee shall perform such duties as are customarily performed by one holding such positions in other same or similar businesses or enterprises as that engaged in by the Employer and BB&T, and shall also additionally render such other services and duties as may be reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the Employer or BB&T, consistent with his positions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term shall not be extended beyond the first day of the calendar month next following the date on which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65). The Term, as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 4, or, as it may be shortened in accordance with Section 7 or 8, is hereinafter referred to as the “Term.”
5. Compensation.
| a. For all services rendered by the Employee to the Employer and BB&T under this Agreement, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee, during the Term, a minimum annual base salary at a rate not less than $837,052.08, payable in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures of the Employer or BB&T applicable to all officers. Any salary increase payable to the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the Employer’s or BB&T’s annual salary plan, and shall be based on the Employer’s and/or BB&T’s performance and the performance of the Employee. |
5
| b. The Employee shall continue to participate in any bonus or incentive plans, whether any such plan provides for awards in cash or securities, made available to officers similarly situated to the Employee, as such plan or plans may be modified from time to time, or such other similar plans for which the Employee may become eligible and designated a participant. |
| c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers. |
| d. If, during the Term, the Employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and retires, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees at the time. During the Compensation Continuance Period, the Employee shall be deemed to be an “active employee”of the Employer for purposes of participating in the Employer’s or BB&T’s health care plan and for purposes of satisfying any age and service requirements under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program. Thus, if the Employee has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. |
6. Covenants of the Employee.
| a.

6
| b.

However, if the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation (as defined in Section 2b), subparagraph c below shall apply, not this subparagraph b. |

| d. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Good Reason at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employeeshall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. |
| e. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T at any time for Just Cause, the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. |
| f. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employeeshall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a.

| g. During the Term and thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be otherwise required by applicable law, the Employee shall not, without the written consent of the Boards of Directors of the Employer and BB&T, or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Employer, BB&T or an Affiliate thereof, or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Employee of his duties as an employee of the Employer or BB&T, any Confidential Information obtained by him while in the employ of the Employer or BB&T, unless such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of such disclosure. |
7
| h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants. |
| 7. Disability.If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter, the Employee shall receive compensation to which he is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. In the event a dispute arises between the Employee and the Employer or BB&T concerning the Employee’s physical or mental disability or ability to continue or return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid, the Employee shall submit, at the expense of the Employer and BB&T, to examination by a competent physician mutually agreeable to the parties, and his opinion as to the Employee’s capability to so perform shall be final and binding. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of disability, the Term shall end. |
8
| 8. Termination; Termination Compensation and Other Post Termination Benefits. |
| a. If the Employee shall die during the Term, this Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder shall automatically terminate on the date of death, which date shall be his Termination Date, and, thus, the last day of the Term. |
| b. The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause, the Employee shall have no right to receive compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination. |
| c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the Employer or BB&T terminates the employment of the Employee under this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph c, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: |
| (i) The Employee shall receive Termination Compensation each month during the period described in subparagraph (ii) below, subject, however, to the Employee’s compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for a one-year period following the Employee’s Termination Date. |
| (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |
| (iii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. |
| (iv) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. |
9
| (v) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, on the same terms as were in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period. |
| (vi) The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. |
The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph c shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8c from and after the date of such breach.
| d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: |
| (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |
| (ii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. |
10
| (iii) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. |
| (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of the Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. |
| (v) The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. |
The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
| e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination. |
11
| f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement: |
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
| g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment. |
12
| h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following: |
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
13
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
| i. A termination of the Employee's employment by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination. |
| 9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange. |
| 10. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein. |
| 11.Assignment Prohibited. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and none of the parties may assign or delegate any of his or its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable under this Agreement upon his death. |
14
| 12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect. |
| 13. Headings. The headings of paragraphs and sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. |
| 14. Governing Law. The parties intend that this Agreement and the performance hereunder and all suits and special proceedings hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and under and pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof and that in any action, special proceeding or other proceeding that may be brought arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement, the laws of the State of North Carolina shall be applicable and shall govern to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be instituted. |
| 15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives and BB&T, the Employer and their permitted successors and assigns. |
| 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. |
| 17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing (including telefacsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at his or its address or telefacsimile number set forth below or such other address or telefacsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other party: |

5. Compensation.
a. For all services rendered by the Employee to the Employer and BB&T under this Agreement, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee, during the Term, a minimum annual base salary at a rate not less than $313,708.56, payable in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures of the Employer or BB&T applicable to all officers. Any salary increase payable to the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the Employer’s or BB&T’s annual salary plan, and shall be based on the Employer’s and/or BB&T’s performance and the performance of the Employee.
5
b. The Employee shall continue to participate in any bonus or incentive plans, whether any such plan provides for awards in cash or securities, made available to officers similarly situated to the Employee, as such plan or plans may be modified from time to time, or such other similar plans for which the Employee may become eligible and designated a participant.
c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.
d. If, during the Term, the Employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and retires, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees at the time. During the Compensation Continuance Period, the Employee shall be deemed to be an “active employee”of the Employer for purposes of participating in the Employer’s or BB&T’s health care plan and for purposes of satisfying any age and service requirements under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program. Thus, if the Employee has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period.
6.Covenants of the Employee.
a. To the extent and subject to the limitations provided in the following subsections of this Section 6 (whichever subsection may be applicable), upon termination of the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity whatsoever, engage in the banking and financial services business, which includes, but it is not limited to, consumer, savings, commercial banking and the insurance and trust businesses, or the savings and loan or mortgage banking business, or any other business in which the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates are engaged, anywhere in the States of North Carolina and South Carolina and in any county outside of North Carolina and South Carolina contiguous to North Carolina or South Carolina, nor shall the Employee solicit, or assist any other Person in so soliciting, any depositors or customers of the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, or induce any then or former employees to terminate their employment with the Employer, BB&T or their Affiliates, except that this Section 6a shall not be read to prohibit the investment described in the last sentence of Section 9.
6
b. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason at any time, the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. However, if the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation (as defined in Section 2b), subparagraph c below shall apply, not this subparagraph b.
c. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation, the Employeeshallnot be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a.
d. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Good Reason at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employeeshallbe subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a.
e. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T at any time for Just Cause, the Employee shall not be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a.
f. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause at any time (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employeeshallbe subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a until the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination Date; or (ii) the date as of which the Employee ceases to receive any further Termination Compensation because of his breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a. If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for any reason other than Just Cause within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employeeshall notbe subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a.
g. During the Term and thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be otherwise required by applicable law, the Employee shall not, without the written consent of the Boards of Directors of the Employer and BB&T, or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Employer, BB&T or an Affiliate thereof, or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Employee of his duties as an employee of the Employer or BB&T, any Confidential Information obtained by him while in the employ of the Employer or BB&T, unless such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of such disclosure.
7
h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter, the Employee shall receive compensation to which he is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. In the event a dispute arises between the Employee and the Employer or BB&T concerning the Employee’s physical or mental disability or ability to continue or return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid, the Employee shall submit, at the expense of the Employer and BB&T, to examination by a competent physician mutually agreeable to the parties, and his opinion as to the Employee’s capability to so perform shall be final and binding. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of disability, the Term shall end.
8
8. Termination; Termination Compensation and Other Post Termination Benefits.
a. If the Employee shall die during the Term, this Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder shall automatically terminate on the date of death, which date shall be his Termination Date, and, thus, the last day of the Term.
b. The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below. In the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause, the Employee shall have no right to receive compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

| (i) The Employee shall receive Termination Compensation each month during the period described in subparagraph (ii) below, subject, however, to the Employee’s compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for a one-year period following the Employee’s Termination Date. |
| (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |
| (iii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. |
9
| (iv) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. |
| (v) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, on the same terms as were in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period. |
| (vi) The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. |
The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph c shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8c from and after the date of such breach.
d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:
| (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |
| (ii) The Employer and BB&T shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of the Employee under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan or arrangement. |
10
| (iii) The Employer shall make available to the Employee, at the Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by the Employer, with the cost to the Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed $20,000. |
| (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of the Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. |
| (v) The Employee shall be entitled to the special enhanced SERP benefits described in subparagraph f below. |
The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
11
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
12
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
13
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
i. A termination of the Employee's employment by BB&T,the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.
9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange.
10. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein.
14
11. Assignment Prohibited. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and none of the parties may assign or delegate any of his or its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable under this Agreement upon his death.
12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.
13. Headings. The headings of paragraphs and sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
14. Governing Law. The parties intend that this Agreement and the performance hereunder and all suits and special proceedings hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and under and pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof and that in any action, special proceeding or other proceeding that may be brought arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement, the laws of the State of North Carolina shall be applicable and shall govern to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be instituted.
15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives and BB&T, the Employer and their permitted successors and assigns.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.

The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice.

f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Target Pension Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Southern National Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
11
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The SERP Retirement Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Credited Service (as defined in the SERP) for purposes of the SERP, including for purposes of determining his rights to elect early retirement under the SERP, the Compensation Continuance Period shall be deemed to be Credited Service for purposes of the SERP. The Employee shall be credited with one year of service for Credited Service purposes for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. If the Employee has not satisfied as of the beginning of the Compensation Continuance Period any service requirement for purposes of determining his eligibility for benefits under the SERP, he will be deemed to have satisfied such service requirement as of that day during the Compensation Continuance Period on which he meets the service requirement, including the additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period. |
| (B) The Early Retirement Date of the Employee for purposes of the SERP shall be the date as of which the Employee is credited with his fifteenth year of Credited Service (including the additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period). The Employee need not satisfy any age requirement to be eligible to receive a SERP Retirement Benefit. |
| (C) Payment of the SERP Retirement Benefit to the Employee may not commence earlier than the first day of the month next following the later of (i) the date the Employee terminates his employment or (ii) the date the Employee attains his fifty-fifth birthday. For purposes of (i) above, the Employee, if receiving Termination Compensation, shall be deemed to terminate his employment as of the last day of the Compensation Continuance Period. |
12
| (D) In determining the SERP Retirement Benefit of the Employee under the SERP, the Monthly Earnings (as described in the SERP) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Monthly Earnings as determined under the SERP as of the date of his termination of employment and (2) is the monthly amount of his Termination Compensation (if any). |
| (E) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Employer or BB&T or by the Employee for any reason other than Just Cause within the twelve-month period next following a Change of Control of the Employer or BB&T or, if later, the ninety (90) day period next following a MOE Revocation, the Employeewill notbe subject to the non-competition provisions of the SERP. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
13
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
15

As per the Employment Agreement, annual "Termination Compensation" is the highest amount of the
annual cash compensation (including cash bonuses and other cash based benefits) received
during any one of the five calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the
Employee terminates his employment. Termination Compensation is taken into account in
determining "Monthly Earnings." Under the Employment Agreement, December 31, 2006 is deemed
to be the Employee's termination date for the purposes of the SERP calculation.
2. Per Section 2.25 of the BB&T Target Plan

.1667% times the number of months prior to Normal Retirement Date the participant terminated
employment (up to 60). If a participant terminates more than 60 months prior to NRD, the reduction
factor is .5% times the number of months over 60.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.

Thus, if the Employee has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of her Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, she shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date her Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period.

7
h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of her employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, her employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of her duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from her disability and return to her duties, then her employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if she had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter, the Employee shall receive compensation to which she is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T.

11
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Target Pension Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Southern National Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates her employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The SERP Retirement Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Credited Service (as defined in the SERP) for purposes of the SERP, including for purposes of determining her rights to elect early retirement under the SERP, the Compensation Continuance Period shall be deemed to be Credited Service for purposes of the SERP. The Employee shall be credited with one year of service for Credited Service purposes for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. If the Employee has not satisfied as of the beginning of the Compensation Continuance Period any service requirement for purposes of determining her eligibility for benefits under the SERP, she will be deemed to have satisfied such service requirement as of that day during the Compensation Continuance Period on which she meets the service requirement, including the additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period. |
| (B) The Early Retirement Date of the Employee for purposes of the SERP shall be the date as of which the Employee is credited with her fifteenth year of Credited Service (including the additional Credited Service earned during the Compensation Continuance Period). The Employee need not satisfy any age requirement to be eligible to receive a SERP Retirement Benefit. |
12
| (C) Payment of the SERP Retirement Benefit to the Employee may not commence earlier than the first day of the month next following the later of (i) the date the Employee terminates her employment or (ii) the date the Employee attains her fifty-fifth birthday. For purposes of (i) above, the Employee, if receiving Termination Compensation, shall be deemed to terminate her employment as of the last day of the Compensation Continuance Period. |
| (D) In determining the SERP Retirement Benefit of the Employee under the SERP, the Monthly Earnings (as described in the SERP) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is her Monthly Earnings as determined under the SERP as of the date of her termination of employment and (2) is the monthly amount of her Termination Compensation (if any). |
| (E) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Employer or BB&T or by the Employee for any reason other than Just Cause within the twelve-month period next following a Change of Control of the Employer or BB&T or, if later, the ninety (90) day period next following a MOE Revocation, the Employeewill notbe subject to the non-competition provisions of the SERP. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which she would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
13
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on her excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
14

For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.

The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange.

12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Employee and her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives and BB&T,the Employer and their permitted successors and assigns.

c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.
d. If, during the Term, the Employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Pension Plan and retires, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the same retiree health care program provided to other retiring employees at the time.

Thus, if the Employee has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period.
6.Covenants of the Employee.

d.

7
h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T. Thereafter, the Employee shall receive compensation to which he is entitled under any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T.

The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

| (ii) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |

d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:
| (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |

10
| (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of the Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. |

The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate. In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
11
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
12
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.

c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.

For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period.

The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice. During the first twelve (12) consecutive months of the period of the Employee’s disability, the Employee shall continue to earn all compensation (including bonuses and incentive compensation) to which the Employee would have been entitled as if he had not been disabled, such compensation to be paid at the time, in the amounts, and in the manner provided in Section 5a, inclusive of any compensation received pursuant to any applicable disability insurance plan of the Employer or BB&T.

b. The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

c. The Employer or BB&T may terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement other than for Just Cause at any time upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

d. If (i) the employment of the Employee is terminated for any reason other than Just Cause or on account of the Employee’s death, regardless of whether the Employer or BB&T or the Employee initiates such termination, within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:
| (i) Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month until the end of the Term [that is, Termination Compensation shall be paid to the Employee each month during the period commencing with the Commencement Month and ending on the earlier of (1) or (2), where (1) is the first day of the month next following the month in which the Employee attains age sixty-five (65), and (2) is the date that coincides with the expiration of the sixty-month period which began with the Commencement Month], such Termination Compensation to be payable at the time such compensation would have been paid to the Employee in accordance with Section 5a. |

10
| (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of the Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. |

The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate.

If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
11
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.

In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
13
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
i. A termination of the Employee's employment by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.
9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange.

14

1. As per section 8f of the Employee's Employment Agreement, "Termination Compensation" will
be included in calculation of Average Compensation under the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified
Defined Benefit Plan. As modified by the Employment Agreement, Average Compensation will be the
greater of (i) the Employee's Average Compensation as determined under the Qualified Plan as of

Defined Benefit Plan. As modified by the Employment Agreement, Average Compensation will be the
greater of (i) the Employee's Average Compensation as determined under the Qualified Plan as of
his actual date of termination or (ii) the amount of his Termination Compensation. The Non-Qualified
Plan (i.e., the SERP) does not use the various limits on compensation imposed on the Qualified Plan.
2. Per Section 5.1 of the BB&T Plan
4. The BB&T Plan benefit formula in Section 5.1 for a benefit based on "Average Compensation in
excess of Covered Compensation." The Covered Compensation is calculated by taking an average
of the Social Security wage base as defined in Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year
during the 35 year period ending with the year in which the Participant attains his Social Security
Retirement Age.
For this calculation, the average Wage Base (assuming an annual 4% increase) is $72,852 as follows:

c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.

Thus, if the Employee has not satisfied either the age or service requirement (or both) under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program at the time payment of his Termination Compensation begins, but satisfies the age or service requirement (or both) at the time such Termination Compensation payments end, he shall be deemed to have satisfied the age or service requirement (or both) for purposes of the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program as of the date his Termination Compensation payments end. For purposes of satisfying any service requirement under the Employer’s or BB&T’s retiree health care program, the Employee shall be credited with one year of service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period.
6. Covenants of the Employee.

h. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Employee agrees that the restraints imposed in this Section 6 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to such matter, length of time and the area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a measurable or adequate remedy for breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 and, accordingly, the Employee agrees to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any action to enjoin the Employee from violating any such covenants.
7. Disability. If, by reason of a physical or mental disability during the Term, the Employee is unable to carry out the essential functions of his employment pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) consecutive months, his employment hereunder may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Employer or BB&T determining to do so upon one month’s notice to be given to the Employee at any time after the period of twelve (12) consecutive months of disability and while such disability continues. If, prior to the expiration of the one-month period after the giving of such notice, the Employee shall recover from such disability and return to the full-time active discharge of his duties hereunder, then such notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Employee’s employment shall continue as if the same had been uninterrupted. If the Employee shall not so recover from his disability and return to his duties, then his employment shall terminate on the date which coincides with the expiration of such one month’s notice.

The Employer or BB&T shall have the right to terminate the Employee's employment under this Agreement at any time for Just Cause upon written notice to the Employee as provided in subparagraph i below.

10
| (iv) The Employee shall continue to participate (treating the Employee as an “active employee”of the Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of the Employer generally are eligible, either under the Employer’s or BB&T’s plans or comparable plans or coverage, for the Compensation Continuance Period, on the same terms as were in effect either (A) at his Termination Date, or (B) if such plans and programs in effect prior to the Change of Control or prior to the MOE Revocation were, considered together as a whole, materially more generous to the officers of the Employer, than at the date of the Change of Control or at the date of the MOE Revocation, as the case may be. |

The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this subparagraph d shall be paid by the Employer or BB&T in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to the Employee’s Termination Date, a Change of Control or MOE Revocation, as appropriate.

If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
11
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
12
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
13
i. A termination of the Employee's employment by BB&T, the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.
9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange.

11. Assignment Prohibited.

12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

1. As per section 8f of the Employee's Employment Agreement, "Termination Compensation" will
be included in calculation of Average Compensation under the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified
Defined Benefit Plan. As modified by the Employment Agreement, Average Compensation will be the
greater of (i) the Employee's Average Compensation as determined under the Qualified Plan as of
his actual date of termination or (ii) the amount of his Termination Compensation. The Non-Qualified
Plan (i.e., the SERP) does not use the various limits on compensation imposed on the Qualified Plan.
2. Per Section 5.1 of the BB&T Plan
4. The BB&T Plan benefit formula in Section 5.1 for a benefit based on "Average Compensation in
excess of Covered Compensation." The Covered Compensation is calculated by taking an average
of the Social Security wage base as defined in Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year
during the 35 year period ending with the year in which the Participant attains his Social Security
Retirement Age.
For this calculation, the average Wage Base (assuming a 4% annual increase) is $69,636 as follows:

c. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, for as long as the Employee is employed by the Employer and BB&T, the Employee also shall be entitled to receive, on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the Employer or BB&T, employee pension and welfare benefits and group employee benefits such as sick leave, vacation, group disability and health, life, and accident insurance and similar indirect compensation which the Employer or BB&T may from time to time extend to its officers.

In accordance with Section 6b, if the Employee terminates his employment at any time for Good Reason (except within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the Employee shall be subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 6a for the one-year period following his Termination Date. If the Employee breaches Section 6a of this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of his Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 8d from and after the date of such breach.
Should the circumstances of the termination of the employment of the Employee result in application of both subparagraphs c and d, subparagraph d shall be deemed to apply and control.
e. If the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), he shall not be entitled to compensation (such as Termination Compensation) or other benefits (including the special SERP enhancement benefits described in Section 8f) under this Agreement for any period after such termination.
11
f. The Employee is a participant in the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). The SERP was formerly known as the Branch Banking and Trust Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The SERP is a non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement plan which provides benefits to or on behalf of selected key management employees. The benefits provided under the SERP supplement the retirement and survivor benefits payable from the Pension Plan. Except in the event the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employer or BB&T for Just Cause and except in the event the Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than Good Reason and such termination does not occur within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after a MOE Revocation), the following special provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
| (i) The provisions of the SERP shall be and hereby are incorporated in this Agreement. The SERP, as applied to the Employee, may not be terminated, modified or amended without the express written consent of the Employee. Thus, any amendment or modification to the SERP or the termination of the SERP shall be ineffective as to the Employee unless the Employee consents in writing to such termination, modification or amendment. The Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the SERP) of the Employee shall not be adversely affected because of any modification, amendment or termination of the SERP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this subparagraph f and the SERP, the provisions of this subparagraph f shall prevail. |
| (ii) The SERP, as applied to the Employee, shall be and hereby is amended by the following special provisions: |
| (A) In determining the Employee’s Years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan), the Compensation Continuance Period shall be taken into account. The Employee shall be credited with one Year of Service for each Computation Period which begins and ends during the Compensation Continuance Period. The 35 Years of Service limitation specified in the Pension Plan shall, however, apply. |
| (B) The Average Compensation (as defined in the Pension Plan) of the Employee shall be the greater of (1) or (2), where (1) is his Average Compensation as determined under the Pension Plan as of his Termination Date and (2) is the annual amount of his Termination Compensation. |
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A are several SERP calculations. The purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the application and effect of this subparagraph f.
g. In receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 8, the Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee hereunder and such amounts shall not be reduced or terminated whether or not the Employee attains other employment.
12
h. In the event that any amount paid or distributed to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the aggregate of such parachute payments and any other amounts paid or distributed to the Employee from any other plans or arrangements maintained by the Employer, BB&T, or their Affiliates shall cause the Employee to be subject to the Excise Tax, the Employer shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount the Employee shall receive after the payment of any Excise Tax shall equal the amount which he would have received if the Excise Tax had not been imposed. The Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by BB&T’s regular independent auditors and shall equal the sum of the following:
| (1) The rate of the Excise Tax multiplied by the amount of the excess parachute payments; |
| (2) Any federal income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax or Excise Tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h.; and |
| (3) Any state income or other tax imposed upon the Employee as a result of the Gross-Up Payment required to be made under this subparagraph h. |
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid. In addition, the Employee shall be deemed to pay state income taxes at a rate determined in accordance with the following formula:
| ( 1 —(highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for individuals)) x (highest marginal rate of North Carolina income taxes for individuals in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is required to be paid). |
In the event the Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 68 of the Code, the combined federal and state income tax rate determined above shall be adjusted to reflect any loss in the federal deduction for state income taxes on the Gross-Up Payment.
13
The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Employee by the Employer or BB&T on or before the date that the Employee is required to pay the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Employer or BB&T shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by BB&T’s regular independent auditors, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount can be determined but no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date the Employee becomes subject to the payment of the Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Employer or BB&T, as applicable, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax, federal and state taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Employee, if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal or state tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Employer or BB&T shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph h is that the Employee shall be reimbursed for the Excise Tax on his excess parachute payments and all taxes on that reimbursement. The intended goal is to place the Employee in the same economic position as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.
i. A termination of the Employee's employment by BB&T ,the Employer or the Employee for any reason other than death shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto. For this purpose, a Notice of Termination means a written notice which specifies the effective date of termination.
9. Other Employment. The Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. The Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the benefits, profits and other emoluments arising from or incident to all work, services and advice of the Employee, and the Employee shall not, during the Term, become interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee or in any other capacity in any other business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed, however, to prevent or limit the right of the Employee to invest in a business similar to the business of the Employer, BB&T and their Affiliates if such investment is limited to less than one (1) percent of the capital stock or other securities of any corporation or similar organization whose stock or securities are publicly owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange.
10. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein.
11. Assignment Prohibited. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and none of the parties may assign or delegate any of his or its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable under this Agreement upon his death.
12. No Attachment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by applicable law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

1. As per section 8f of the Employee's Employment Agreement, "Termination Compensation" will
be included in calculation of Average Compensation under the BB&T Corporation Non-Qualified
Defined Benefit Plan. As modified by the Employment Agreement, Average Compensation will be the
greater of (i) the Employee's Average Compensation as determined under the Qualified Plan as of
his actual date of termination or (ii) the amount of his Termination Compensation. The Non-Qualified
Plan (i.e., the SERP) does not use the various limits on compensation imposed on the Qualified Plan.
2. Per Section 5.1 of the BB&T Plan
4. The BB&T Plan benefit formula in Section 5.1 for a benefit based on "Average Compensation in
excess of Covered Compensation." The Covered Compensation is calculated by taking an average
of the Social Security wage base as defined in Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year
during the 35 year period ending with the year in which the Participant attains his Social Security
Retirement Age.
For this calculation, the average Wage Base (assuming a 4% annual increase) is $83,040 as follows:

Average Wage Base 83,040
8. As per Section 8f of the Employee's Employment Agreement, in determining the Employee's Years
of Service, the period of time over which the Employee receives Termination Compensation is taken
into account (not to exceed a total of 35 years). In this example, the Employee is credited with 30
years of service (25 Years of Service as of the Employee's actual date of termination plus 5 Years of
Service in the compensation continuance period).
10. Plan benefits are reduced if paid prior to Normal Retirement Date per Section 5.2 of the BB&T Plan
as follows:
