§ 1. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Grant
of Restricted Stock to the Grantee is effective as of
(the “Grant Date”).
§ 2. VESTING. All shares of
Restricted Stock, if not earlier vested, shall vest on the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting
Date”), provided that on the Vesting Date, the Grantee is an
active employee of SunTrust or a Subsidiary and has been in the
continuous employment of SunTrust or a Subsidiary from the Grant
Date through the Vesting Date. If Grantee is not an active employee
of SunTrust or a Subsidiary on the Vesting Date, Grantee forfeits
all rights to any shares that would otherwise vest on the Vesting
Date; provided, however, shares may vest prior to the Vesting Date
in accordance with the provisions of § 3 or
§ 4.
§ 3. ACCELERATED VESTING:
CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) Any shares of Restricted Stock not
previously vested shall vest on the date that all of the following
events have occurred: (i) there is a Change in Control of
SunTrust on or before the Vesting Date; (ii) the
Grantee’s employment with SunTrust terminates after the date
of such Change in Control and at any time before the third
anniversary of the date of such Change in Control, and
(iii) such termination of Grantee’s employment is either
(1) involuntary on the part of the Grantee and does not result
from his or her death or disability within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), and does not constitute a
Termination for Cause, or (2) voluntary on the part of the
Grantee and constitutes a Termination for Good Reason.
(b) Termination for Cause –
means a termination of employment which is made primarily because
of (i) the Grantee’s willful and continued failure to
perform his job duties in a satisfactory manner after written
notice from SunTrust to Grantee and a thirty (30) day period
in which to cure such failure, (ii) the Grantee’s
conviction of a felony or engagement in a dishonest act,
misappropriation of funds, embezzlement, criminal conduct or common
law fraud, (iii) the Grantee’s material violation of the
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of SunTrust or the Code of
Conduct of a Subsidiary, (iv) the Grantee’s engagement
in an act that materially damages or materially prejudices SunTrust
or any Subsidiary or the Grantee’s engagement in activities
materially damaging to the property, business or reputation of
SunTrust or any Subsidiary; or (v) the Grantee’s failure
and refusal to comply in any material respect with the current and
any future amended policies, standards and regulations of SunTrust,
any Subsidiary and their regulatory agencies, if such failure
continues after written notice from SunTrust to the Grantee and a
thirty (30) day period in which to cure such failure, or the
determination by any such governing agency that the Grantee may no
longer serve as an officer of SunTrust or a Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if the Grantee is subject to the terms of a change in
control agreement with SunTrust (the “Change in Control
Agreement”) at the time of his termination of employment with
SunTrust or a Subsidiary, solely for purposes this Stock Agreement,
“Cause” shall have the meaning provided in the Change
in Control Agreement.

– means a termination of employment made primarily because of
(i) a failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or to
reappoint Grantee to, or the removal of Grantee from, the position
which he or she held with SunTrust prior to the Change in Control,
(ii) a substantial change by the Board or supervising
management in Grantee’s functions, duties or
responsibilities, which change would cause Grantee’s position
with SunTrust to become of less dignity, responsibility, importance
or scope than the position held by Grantee prior to the Change in
Control or (iii) a substantial reduction of Grantee’s
annual compensation from the lesser of: (A) the level in
effect prior to the Change in Control or (B) any level
established thereafter with the consent of Grantee.
