First Union Corporation Benefit Restoration
Plan
(Effective December 31, 1993)
As amended and restated December 31,
2008
Section
I. Establishment
and Purpose
1.1
Establishment of the Plan . Wachovia Corporation (formerly
named First Union Corporation) (the "Company") established this
supplemental retirement plan for eligible employees of the Company
and participating Affiliates, effective as of December 31,
1993. This plan is known as the "First Union Corporation Benefit
Restoration Plan" (hereinafter called the "Plan"). The Plan was
amended and restated as of April 20,1999, and was subsequently
amended in certain respects prior to the adoption of this amendment
and restatement.
1.2
Purpose of the Plan . The Plan is intended to restore
benefits that are curtailed as a result of legal limits that apply
to the Pension Plan (as defined below). Participants ceased to
accrue benefits under the Plan effective as of December 31,
2007 and any Employee who is not an active or inactive Participant
on December 31, 2007 shall not be eligible to participate in
the Plan.
The portion of the Plan which restores benefits affected by the
limits described in Code section 415 is intended to be an "excess
benefit plan" as defined in ERISA section 3(36). The portion of the
Plan which restores benefits affected by the compensation limit
described in Code section 401(a)(17) is intended to be a plan
maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a
"select group of management or highly compensated employees."
1.3
Application of the Plan . The terms of this Plan, as amended
and restated, are applicable only to eligible Employees who are in
the active employ of the Company or a participating Affiliate on or
after December 31, 1993 and only with respect to amounts
deferred under the Plan on or after January 1, 2005. The terms
of the Plan, as in effect prior to this amended and restated Plan
document, shall continue to apply to amounts deferred prior to
January 1, 2005. The Plan has been amended to implement
changes required pursuant to and consistent with section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Between
January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008 the Plan has been
operated in accordance with transition relief established by the
Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code
section 409A. This amendment and restatement is adopted in
conformity with final regulations under Code section 409A issued by
the Treasury Department on April 10, 2007 and effective
January 1, 2009.
Section
II.
Definitions
Whenever used hereinafter, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth below unless otherwise expressly provided. When
the defined meaning is intended, the term is capitalized. The
definition of any term in the singular shall also include the

2007 (or in the case of a Participant who terminated employment on
account of Disability, that the participant had a Disability
Retirement Date of December 31, 2007). For purposes of this

group is considered to own more than 50 percent of the total fair
market value or total voting power of Company stock, the
acquisition of additional Company stock by the same person or
persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the
Company for purposes of this subsection (i) or to cause a
change in effective control of the Company for purposes of
subsection (ii); or
(ii) Any person
or more than one person acting as a group acquires (or has acquired
