§ 1. EXERCISE PERIOD, EXPIRATION DATE, VESTING DATE. This NQO granted on [Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”) shall expire, unless otherwise exercised, at the end of the ten (10) year period (the “Exercise Period”) beginning on the Grant Date and ending at the end of the last day of the Exercise Period (the “Expiration Date”). This NQO, if it has not earlier vested or expired, shall vest and become exercisable in full on the third (3 rd ) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided that on the Vesting Date, Optionee is an active employee of SunTrust or a Subsidiary and has been in Service with SunTrust or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date. Once this NQO has vested, it may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the remainder of the Exercise Period unless the NQO expires before then.

§ 2. ACCELERATED VESTING. Some or all of this NQO may vest early and become exercisable before the Vesting Date. Early vesting will occur if the Optionee has a termination of employment with SunTrust and all its Subsidiaries, as described below in § 2(a), § 2(b), § 2(c) or § 2(d), before the Vesting Date.

(a) This NQO shall vest and become fully exercisable on the date Optionee’s employment terminates because of death or Disability and shall remain exercisable for the period described in § 3(d).

(b) This NQO shall vest on the date Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, but then only a pro rata number of shares subject to the NQO shall vest and be exercisable based on Optionee’s Service completed from the Grant Date through the date of Optionee’s termination. Such vested shares shall remain exercisable for the period described in § 3(c).

(c) This NQO shall vest on the date Optionee’s employment is involuntarily terminated by reason of a reduction in force, which results in Optionee’s eligibility for payment of a severance benefit pursuant to the terms of the SunTrust Banks, Inc. Severance Pay Plan, but then only a pro rata number of shares subject to this NQO shall vest and be exercisable based on Optionee’s Service completed from the Grant Date through the date of Optionee’s termination. Such vested shares shall be exercisable for the three (3) month period described in § 3(a).

(d) This NQO shall vest in full and become exercisable on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment during the three (3) year period following the date of a Change in Control, provided that such termination of employment is either (A) involuntary on the part of Optionee, not a result of Optionee’s death or Disability, and not a Termination for Cause; or (B) voluntary on the part of Optionee and it constitutes a Termination for Good Reason. Such vested shares shall remain exercisable for the period described in § 3(e).

(e) For purposes of § 2(b) and 2(c) above, the pro rata calculation shall be made by multiplying the number of shares of Stock subject to this NQO that are not then vested by a fraction, with a numerator equal to the number of days from the Grant Date through the date of such termination of employment, and a denominator equal to the number of days from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date. Fractional shares shall be disregarded.

§ 3. EXPIRATION. To the extent not previously exercised, this NQO shall expire and cease to be exercisable on the Expiration Date or if earlier, on the first of the following events to occur:

(a) Except as otherwise described in this § 3, if Optionee’s employment with SunTrust and all its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, then Optionee may, within the three (3) month period following such termination and in no event after the Expiration Date, exercise this NQO to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise this NQO at the date of such termination of employment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Option Agreement to the contrary, if Optionee’s employment with SunTrust or a Subsidiary is Terminated for Cause, then this NQO shall expire in its entirety, and all rights under this Option Agreement shall be forfeited, as of the end of the day before the date of Optionee’s termination of employment, regardless of whether this NQO was then vested or non-vested, and under no circumstances shall Optionee be entitled to exercise all or any part of this NQO after such expiration.

(c) In the event Optionee terminates employment with SunTrust and all its Subsidiaries due to Retirement, then any part of the NQO that became vested and exercisable pursuant to § 1 or § 2(b), shall remain exercisable through the end of the five (5) year period which begins on the date of such termination of employment and in no event after the Expiration Date.

(d) In the event Optionee’s termination of employment with SunTrust and all Subsidiaries is due to death or disability, then this NQO shall be exercisable through the end of the one (1) year period which begins on the date of Optionee’s death or Disability and in no event after the Expiration Date.
