THIS AGREEMENT
(the “ Agreement
”), dated effective as of
, 20
, between BB&T CORPORATION, a
North Carolina corporation (“BB&T”) for
itself and its Affiliates, and
, an Employee
(the “ Participant ”), is made pursuant to and
subject to the provisions of the BB&T Corporation 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan, and it may be amended and/or restated (the “
Plan ”).
BB&T desires to carry out the
purposes of the Plan by affording the Participant an opportunity to
purchase shares of BB&T’s common stock, $5.00 par value
per share (the “ Common Stock ”), as hereinafter
provided.
In consideration of the foregoing,
of the mutual promises set forth below and of other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Plan . The rights
and duties of BB&T and the Participant under this Agreement
shall in all respects be subject to and governed by the provisions
of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in
the Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall govern. Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms
in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in
the Plan.
2. Grant of Option . Pursuant to the
Plan, effective as of
, 20
(the “ Grant Date
”), BB&T grants to the Participant, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions herein, the
right and option (the “ Option ”) to purchase
from BB&T all or any part of an aggregate of
shares (the “ Shares ”) of Common Stock at a
purchase price (the “ Option Price ”) of $
per share, such Option Price being the Fair Market Value per share
of Common Stock on the Grant Date. This Option is designated as a
Nonqualified Option and, as such, is not intended to be an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).
Such Option will be vested and exercisable as hereinafter
provided.
3 . Terms and Conditions . The
Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:
( a ) Expiration Date
. Unless the Option terminates earlier pursuant to the terms of the
Plan or this Agreement, the Option shall expire on
, 20
(the “ Expiration Date
”) (such term commencing with the Grant Date and ending on
the Expiration Date being referred to as the “ Option
Period ”).
( b ) Exercise of
Option . Except as provided in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7,8 and 10 and
subject to the authority of the Administrator to accelerate the
exercisability of this Option, this Option shall become vested and
exercisable with respect to twenty percent (20%) of the Shares
subject to the Option on the first year anniversary of the Grant
Date and with respect to an additional twenty percent (20%) of
the Shares subject to the Option on each annual anniversary of the
Grant Date over the following four years, so that the Option shall
be fully vested and fully exercisable on the fifth year anniversary
of the Grant Date. To the extent the Option has become vested and
exercisable in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall
continue to be vested and exercisable until the earlier of the
termination of the Participant’s rights hereunder pursuant to
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, or until the Expiration Date. The
Option may be exercised with respect to any number of whole shares
less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised.
A partial exercise of the Option shall not affect the
Participant’s right to exercise the Option with respect to
the remaining Shares, subject to the conditions of the Plan and
this Agreement. The Option may not be exercised at any time unless
the Participant shall have been in the continuous service as an
Employee from the date hereof to the Exercise Date of the Option,
subject to the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7,8 and
10.
( c) Method of Exercising
and Payment for Shares . The Option shall be exercised by
written notice (the “ Notice of Exercise ”)
accompanied by payment of the Option Price, delivered to the
attention of the Human Systems Division at the office of BB&T
Corporation, P.O. Box 1215, 200 West Second Street, Winston-Salem,
North Carolina 27102, or at such other location selected by
BB&T. The Exercise Date shall be the date on which BB&T has
received both the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Option
Price (except as may be otherwise permitted for option exercises
made pursuant to Section 6.05(c) of the Plan). Payment of the
Option Price may be made (i) in cash or by cash equivalent,
and, if permitted under applicable law, payment may also be made
(ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Participant at the time of exercise for a period of at least six
months (or such other time period necessary to avoid variable
accounting or other accounting consequences deemed unacceptable to
the Administrator); (iii) by delivery of written Notice of
Exercise to BB&T and delivery to a broker of written notice of
exercise and irrevocable instructions to promptly deliver to
BB&T the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option
Price; or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods.
Shares delivered in payment of the Option Price shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, as determined in
accordance with the Plan. Upon the exercise of an Option in whole
or in part, payment of the Option Price in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and satisfaction of such
other conditions as may be established by the Administrator,
BB&T shall promptly deliver to the Participant a certificate or
certificates for the Shares purchased.
In the event that the Option shall
be exercised pursuant to this Section 3 by any person other
than the Participant, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied
by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the
Option.
- 2 -
( d ) Shareholder
Rights . The Participant and his legal representative, legatees
or distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder of any Shares
subject to the Option and shall not have any rights of a
shareholder unless and until certificates for such Shares have been
issued and delivered to him or them under the Plan. The Option
shall not provide dividend or dividend equivalent rights and the
Participant shall have no dividend rights unless and until Shares
have been issued to him pursuant to the exercise of the Option. A
certificate or certificates for Shares of Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of the Option shall be issued in the name of the
Participant (or if the Participant is deceased, his or her
beneficiary or beneficiaries) and distributed to the Participant
(or if the Participant is deceased, his or her beneficiary or
beneficiaries) as soon as practicable following receipt of Notice
of Exercise and payment of the Option Price (except as may
otherwise be determined by BB&T in the event of payment of the
Option Price pursuant to Section 6.05(c) of the
Plan).
( e ) Nontransferability
of Option . The Option shall not be transferable (including by
sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or
the laws of intestate succession, except as may be permitted by the
Administrator in its sole discretion (and in a manner consistent
with the registration provisions of the Securities Act). Except as
may be permitted by the preceding sentence, (i) during the
lifetime of the Participant, the Option may be exercised only by
the Participant; and (ii) no right or interest of a
Participant in the Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any
lien, obligation or liability of such Participant. The designation
of a beneficiary in accordance with the Plan shall not constitute a
transfer.
4. Termination of Employment . Except
as provided in Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 (and unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator), in the event that the employment
of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate terminates for any
reason, other than the Participant’s termination of
employment due to involuntary termination without Just Cause,
Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant may exercise the
Option only with respect to those Shares of Common Stock as to
which the Option has become vested and exercisable pursuant to
Section 3(b) as of the date of his termination of employment
(the “ Termination Date ”). The Participant may
exercise the Option with respect to such Shares no more than thirty
(30) days after the date of the Participant’s
Termination Date (but in any event prior to the Expiration Date),
and the Option shall terminate at the end of such 30-day
period.
5. Involuntary Termination
Without Just Cause .
In the event that the Participant’s employment with BB&T
or its Affiliates is involuntarily terminated by BB&T without
Just Cause, the Option shall become fully vested and fully
exercisable as of his Termination Date without regard to the
installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b).
For purposes of this Agreement, the involuntary termination of the
Participant by BB&T shall be without Just Cause unless the
termination is on account of the Participant’s
(a) dishonesty, theft or embezzlement; (b) refusal or
failure to perform his assigned duties for BB&T or its
Affiliates in a satisfactory manner; or (c) engaging in any
conduct that could be materially damaging to BB&T or its
Affiliates without a reasonable good faith belief that such conduct
was in the best interest of BB&T or any of its Affiliates. The
determination of Just Cause shall be made by the Administrator or
its designee and its determination shall be final and conclusive.
The Participant may exercise the Option following an involuntary
termination without Just Cause until the Expiration
Date.

6. Exercise After Termination of Employment
Due to Retirement . In the event that the Participant
remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or its Affiliates from
the Grant Date until the Participant’s termination of
employment due to Retirement, the Option shall become fully vested
and fully exercisable as of the date of his Retirement without
regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in
Sec
