§ 1. Definitions

1.1 Board. The term “Board” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the Board of Directors of SunTrust.

1.2 Cause. The term “Cause” for purposes of this Agreement shall (subject to § 1.2(e)) mean:

(b) Executive is convicted of a felony or has engaged in a dishonest act, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement, criminal conduct or common law fraud;

(c) Executive has engaged in a material violation of the SunTrust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Conduct of a SunTrust Affiliate; or

(e) No such act, omission or event shall be treated as “Cause” under this Agreement unless (i) Executive has been provided a detailed, written statement of the basis for SunTrust’s belief that such act, omission or event constitutes “Cause” and an opportunity to meet with the Compensation Committee (together with Executive’s counsel if Executive chooses to have Executive’s counsel present at such meeting) after Executive has had a reasonable period in which to review such statement and, if the allegation is under § 1.2(a), has had at least a thirty (30) day period to take corrective action and (ii) the Compensation Committee after such meeting (if Executive meets with the Compensation Committee) and after the end of such thirty (30) day correction period (if applicable) determines reasonably and in good faith and by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the Compensation Committee then in office at a meeting called and held for such purpose that “Cause” does exist under this Agreement.

1.3 Change in Control. The term “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean a change in control of SunTrust of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act as in effect at the time of such “change in control”, provided that such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any “person” (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power for election of directors of the then outstanding securities of SunTrust or any successor of SunTrust; (ii) during any period of two consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board cease, for any reason, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election or nomination for election of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period; (iii) there is a consummation of any reorganization, merger, consolidation or share exchange as a result of which the common stock of SunTrust shall be changed, converted or exchanged into or for securities of another corporation (other than a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunTrust) or any dissolution or liquidation of SunTrust or any sale or the disposition of 50% or more of the assets or business of SunTrust; or (iv) there is a consummation of any reorganization, merger, consolidation or share exchange unless (A) the persons who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding shares of the common stock of SunTrust immediately before the consummation of such transaction beneficially own more than 65% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the successor or survivor corporation in such transaction immediately following the consummation of such transaction and (B) the number of shares of the common stock of such successor or survivor corporation beneficially owned by the persons described in § 1.3(iv)(A) immediately following the consummation of such transaction is beneficially owned by each such person in substantially the same proportion that each such person had beneficially owned shares of SunTrust common stock immediately before the consummation of such transaction, provided (C) the percentage described in § 1.3(iv)(A) of the beneficially owned shares of the successor or survivor corporation and the number described in § 1.3(iv)(B) of the beneficially owned shares of the successor or survivor corporation shall be determined exclusively by reference to the shares of the successor or survivor corporation which result from the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of SunTrust by the persons described in § 1.3(iv)(A) immediately before the consummation of such transaction.

1.6 Confidential or Proprietary Information. The term “Confidential or Proprietary Information” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any secret, confidential, or proprietary information of SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate (not otherwise included in the definition of Trade Secret in § 1.24 of this Agreement) that has not become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right of SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate.

1.7 Current Compensation Package. The term “Current Compensation Package” for purposes of § 3.1(c)(1) of this Agreement shall mean the sum of the amounts described in § 1.7(a) and in § 1.7(b) and, if applicable, in § 1.7(c) as follows:

(a) Base Salary. Executive’s highest annual base salary from SunTrust and any SunTrust Affiliate which (but for any salary deferral election) is in effect at any time during the one-year period which ends on the date Executive’s employment with SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6.

(b) Bonus Award.

(1) General Rule. If Executive participates in the MIP at termination, the amount described in this § 1.7(b) shall (subject to § 1.7(b)(2)) be the greater of (i) Executive’s target annual bonus under the MIP for the calendar year in which Executive’s employment with SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, or (ii) the average of the annual bonus earned by Executive (disregarding any deferral) for the 3 full calendar years in

which Executive participated in the MIP (or, if less, the number of full calendar years in which Executive participated in the MIP) which immediately precede the calendar year in which Executive’s employment so terminates. If Executive was not eligible to participate in the MIP at termination, but participates in a FIP, the amount described in this § 1.7(b)(1) shall (subject to § 1.7(b)(2)) be the greater of (i) Executive’s target annual bonus under the FIP for the calendar year in which Executive’s employment with SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, or (ii) the average of the annual bonus earned by Executive (disregarding any deferral) for the three (3) full calendar years in which Executive participated in the FIP (or, if less, the number of full calendar years in which Executive participated in the FIP) which immediately precede the calendar year in which Executive’s employment so terminates. In the event Executive was not eligible to participate in the MIP or any FIP at termination, the amount described in this § 1.7(b)(1) shall (subject to § 1.7(b)(2)) be the last annual bonus earned by Executive (disregarding any deferral).

(2) Exceptions to General Rule.

(i) No MIP. If Executive participates in a FIP but not in the MIP, or if Executive is not eligible to participate in the MIP or any FIP at termination, the amount described in this § 1.7(b) shall not exceed the amount which would have been described in § 1.7(b)(1) if Executive instead had been a participant in the MIP.

(ii) Determination Rules. SunTrust shall determine the amount which would have been described in § 1.7(b)(1) if Executive had been a participant in the MIP based on the target bonus or, if greater, the projected bonus for a MIP participant, or for a class of such participants, whose duties, responsibilities and compensation match, or most closely match, Executive’s duties, responsibilities and compensation before Executive’s employment terminated.

(iii) Salary Shares. The Compensation Committee determined that part of Executive’s 2010 base salary would be paid in the form of “Salary Shares” and further determined that for purposes of determining Executive’s benefit under this Agreement, the value of such Salary Shares recognized as part of Executive’s 2010 base salary would be an amount equal to $ . Therefore, in accordance with the directions of the Compensation Committee and for purposes of calculating Executive’s “Current Compensation Package” for any period that includes base salary earned or paid in the year 2010, the Salary Shares paid to Executive shall be included in the computation of his 2010 base salary (in addition to any other amounts of base salary, such as cash) in the amount set forth in the preceding sentence. Salary Shares paid in 2010 shall not otherwise be recognized as part of Executive’s Current Compensation Package. In addition, SunTrust and Executive acknowledge that, because of federal restrictions, Executive will not receive any bonus amount under the MIP or any FIP for 2010 and, therefore, if any calculation under this Section 1.7 uses Executive’s MIP or FIP bonus for 2010, the amount used shall be zero.

(c) PUP Awards. To the extent applicable, the amount described in this § 1.7(c) shall be the average of the PUP bonus earned by the Executive (disregarding any deferral) for the three (3) full performance cycles ending before 2008, if any, in which Executive participated in the PUP (or, if less, for the number of full performance cycles in which Executive participated in the PUP) and which ended in the three (3) calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6. For example, if an Executive terminates from employment during 2009, the amount described in this § 1.7(c) shall be the average of PUP amounts earned for performance cycles ending on December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 (no PUP awards exist for periods ending after December 31, 2007).

1.8 Disability Termination. The term “Disability Termination” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean a termination of Executive’s employment exclusively as a result of an event causing such Executive to become eligible to receive disability income benefits under SunTrust’s long term disability plan or any successor to or replacement for such plan.

1.9 Exchange Act. The term “Exchange Act” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

1.10 FIP. The term “FIP” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean an alternative functional incentive plan which provides a short-term bonus or commissions to certain Executives that are not eligible to participate in the MIP.

1.11 Good Reason. The term “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement shall (subject to § 1.11(e)) mean:

(a) SunTrust or any SunTrust Affiliate after a Change in Control but before the end of Executive’s Protection Period reduces Executive’s base salary or opportunity to receive comparable incentive compensation or bonuses without Executive’s express written consent;

(b) SunTrust or any SunTrust Affiliate after a Change in Control but before the end of Executive’s Protection Period reduces the scope of Executive’s principal or primary duties, responsibilities or authority, without Executive’s express written consent;

(c) SunTrust or any SunTrust Affiliate at any time after a Change in Control but before the end of Executive’s Protection Period (without Executive’s express written consent) transfers Executive’s primary work site from Executive’s primary work site on the date of such Change in Control or, if Executive subsequently consents in writing to such a transfer under this Agreement, from the primary work site which was the subject of such consent, to a new primary work site which is outside the “standard metropolitan statistical area” which then includes Executive’s then current primary work site unless such new primary work site is closer to Executive’s primary residence than Executive’s then current primary work site; or

(d) SunTrust or any SunTrust Affiliate after a Change in Control but before the end of Executive’s Protection Period fails (without Executive’s express written consent) to continue to provide to Executive health and welfare benefits, deferred compensation and retirement benefits, stock option and restricted stock grants that are in the aggregate comparable to those provided to Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided, however,

(e) No such act or omission shall be treated as “Good Reason” under this Agreement unless:

(1) (i) Executive delivers to the Compensation Committee a detailed, written statement of the basis for Executive’s belief that such act or omission constitutes Good Reason, (ii) Executive delivers such statement before the later of (A) the end of the ninety (90) day period which starts on the date there is an act or omission which forms the basis for Executive’s belief that Good Reason exists or (B) the end of the period mutually agreed upon for purposes of this § 1.11(e)(1)(ii) in writing by Executive and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, (iii) Executive gives the Compensation Committee a thirty (30) day period after the delivery of such statement to cure the basis for such belief and (iv) Executive actually submits Executive’s written resignation to the Compensation Committee during the sixty (60) day period which begins immediately after the end of such thirty (30) day period if Executive reasonably and in good faith determines that Good Reason continues to exist after the end of such thirty (30) day period, or

(2) SunTrust states in writing to Executive that Executive has the right to treat such act or omission as Good Reason under this Agreement and Executive resigns during the sixty (60) day period which starts on the date such statement is actually delivered to Executive;

(f) If (1) Executive gives the Compensation Committee the statement described in § 1.11(e)(1) before the end of the

thirty (30) day period which immediately follows the end of the Protection Period and Executive thereafter resigns within the period described in § 1.11(e)(1), or (2) SunTrust provides the statement to Executive described in § 1.11(e)(2) before the end of the thirty (30) day period which immediately follows the end of the Protection Period and Executive thereafter resigns within the period described in § 1.11(e)(2); then (3) such resignation shall be treated under this Agreement as if made in Executive’s Protection Period; and

(g) If Executive consents in writing to any reduction described in § 1.11(a) or § 1.11(b), to any transfer described in § 1.11(c) or to any failure described in § 1.11(d) in lieu of exercising Executive’s right to resign for Good Reason and delivers such consent to SunTrust, the date such consent is delivered to SunTrust thereafter shall be treated under this definition as the date of a Change in Control for purposes of determining whether Executive subsequently has Good Reason under this Agreement to resign under § § 3.1 or § 3.6 as a result of any subsequent reduction described in § 1.11(a) or § 1.11(b), any subsequent transfer described in § 1.11(c) or any subsequent failure described in § 1.11(d).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive is a Key Employee, the Severance Amount shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date on which Executive Separates from Service (or, if earlier, the first day of the month after Executive’s death) (the “Key Employee Delay”). During the Key Employee Delay, interest shall accrue on the Severance Amount at the “prime rate” as reported by SunTrust Bank or its successor on the date Executive Separates from Service or, if such rate is not reported on such date, such rate as so reported on the last business day before Executive Separates from Service.

(2) Stock Options. Notwithstanding the terms of any plan or agreement under which an option was granted, each outstanding stock option granted to Executive by SunTrust shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable on the date Executive’s employment so terminates and Executive shall be deemed to continue to be employed by SunTrust for the period described in § 3.4 for purposes of determining when Executive’s right to exercise each such option expires; provided, however, in no event shall Executive’s right to exercise the option extend beyond the earlier of (i) the latest date upon which the option could have expired by its original terms under any circumstances; or (ii) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the original date of grant.

(3) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Any restrictions on any outstanding restricted or performance stock grants or restricted or performance stock unit awards, if any, to Executive by SunTrust shall immediately expire and Executive’s right to such stock or stock units shall be non-forfeitable notwithstanding the terms of any plan or agreement under which such grants or awards were made.

(4) Earned but Unpaid Salary, Bonus and Vacation. SunTrust shall promptly pay Executive any earned but unpaid base salary and bonus, shall promptly pay Executive for any earned but untaken vacation and shall promptly reimburse Executive for any incurred but unreimbursed expenses which are otherwise reimbursable under SunTrust’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect for senior executives immediately before Executive’s employment so terminates.

(5) Bonus Award. Payments under this § 3.1(c)(5) shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to the terms of the MIP or FIP, as applicable, at the end of the calendar year in which Executive terminates employment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any portion of the amounts set forth below that have been elected or scheduled to be deferred and credited under the SunTrust Banks, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan or any other nonqualified plan maintained by SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate shall not be paid under this § 3.1(c)(5).

(i) MIP. If Executive participates in the MIP, SunTrust shall pay Executive within thirty (30) days after Executive’s employment terminates a portion of Executive’s target bonus or, if greater, Executive’s projected bonus under the MIP for the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates, where (a) Executive’s projected bonus shall be no less than the bonus which would have been projected under the projection procedures in effect under the MIP on the date of the Change in Control, and (b) such portion shall be determined by multiplying such target bonus or, if greater, such projected bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days Executive is employed in such calendar year and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar year.

(ii) FIP. If Executive was not eligible to participate in the MIP, but participates in a FIP, SunTrust shall (subject to the exception to this general rule set forth in § 3.1(c)(5)(iii)) pay Executive within 30 days after Executive’s employment terminates a portion of Executive’s target bonus or, if greater, Executive’s projected bonus under the FIP for the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates, where (a) Executive’s projected bonus shall be no less than the bonus which would have been projected under the projection procedures in effect under the FIP on the date of the Change in Control, and (b) such portion shall be determined by multiplying such target bonus or, if greater, such projected bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days Executive is employed in such calendar year and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar year.

(iii) Limitations to FIP.

(A) No MIP. If Executive participates in a FIP but not in the MIP, the payment made to Executive under § 3.1(c)(5)(ii) shall not exceed the payment which would have been made to Executive if Executive instead had been a participant in the MIP.

(B) Determination Rules. SunTrust shall determine the payment which would have been made to Executive under § 3.1(c)(5)(i) if Executive had been a participant in the MIP based on the target bonus or, if greater, the projected bonus for a MIP participant, or for a class of such participants, whose duties, responsibilities and compensation match, or most closely match, Executive’s duties, responsibilities and compensation before a Change in Control.

3.2 Continuing Benefit Coverage. If Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate for the two (2) year period which begins on the date of such termination of Executive’s employment (the “Severance Period”) shall provide to Executive medical, dental and life insurance benefits which are similar in all material respects as those benefits provided under SunTrust’s employee benefit plans, policies and programs to senior executives of SunTrust who have not terminated their employment (collectively, the medical and dental benefits referred to hereinafter as the “Welfare Benefits”). If SunTrust cannot provide such benefits under SunTrust’s employee benefit plans, policies and programs, SunTrust either shall provide such benefits to Executive outside such plans, policies and programs at no additional expense or tax liability to Executive or shall reimburse Executive for Executive’s cost to purchase such benefits and for any tax liability for such reimbursements.

To the extent the continuation of the Welfare Benefits under § 3.2 is, or ever becomes, taxable to Executive and to the extent the Welfare Benefits continue beyond the period in which Executive would be entitled (or would, but for this Agreement, be entitled) to continuation coverage under a group health plan of SunTrust under Code Section 4980B (COBRA) if Executive elected such coverage and paid the applicable premiums, SunTrust shall administer such continuation of coverage consistent with the following additional requirements as set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv):

(a) Executive’s eligibility for Welfare Benefits in one year will not affect Executive’s eligibility for Welfare Benefits in any other year (disregarding any limit on the amount of Welfare Benefits that may be reimbursed during such continuation period);

(b) Any reimbursement of eligible expenses will be made on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; and

In the event the preceding sentence applies, if Executive’s applicable COBRA period lasts less than six (6) months and Executive is a Key Employee, reimbursement for Welfare Benefits shall commence on the first day after the Key Employee Delay.

3.3 No Interference with Vested Benefits. If Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, Executive shall have a right to any benefits under any employee benefit plan, policy or program maintained by SunTrust or any SunTrust Affiliate (other than the MIP or a FIP and the SunTrust Severance Pay Plan) which Executive had a right to receive under the terms of such employee benefit plan, policy or program after a termination of Executive’s employment without regard to this Agreement.

3.4 Additional Age and Service Credit. If Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, Executive shall be deemed to have been employed by SunTrust throughout Executive’s Severance Period for purposes of computing Executive’s age and service credit on the date Executive’s employment so terminates under any deferred compensation or welfare plan, policy or program (except a plan described in Section 401 of the Code) maintained by SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate in which Executive is a participant and under which Executive’s benefit, or eligibility for a benefit, is based in whole or in part on Executive’s age or service, and Executive shall receive such age and service credit notwithstanding the terms of any such plan, policy or program.

3.5 No Increase in Other Benefits; No Other Severance Pay. If Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 3.1 or § 3.6, Executive waives Executive’s right, if any, to have any payment made under this § 3 taken into account to increase the benefits otherwise payable to, or on behalf of, Executive under any employee benefit plan, policy or program, whether qualified or nonqualified, maintained by SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate (e.g., there will be no increase in Executive’s qualified pension benefit or life insurance because of compensation Executive receives under this Agreement) and, further, Executive acknowledges he has no right to any payment of severance pay and severance benefits under the SunTrust Banks, Inc. Severance Pay Plan or any other severance pay plan, policy or program maintained by SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate or under any individual severance agreement or employment agreement, subject to the condition that SunTrust not be relieved of any of its obligations to Executive under this § 3 pursuant to § 3.7 or § 3.8.

3.6 Termination in Anticipation of Change in Control. Executive shall be treated under § 3.1 as if Executive’s employment had been terminated without Cause or Executive had resigned for Good Reason during Executive’s Protection Period if (1)(A) Executive’s employment is terminated by SunTrust or a SunTrust Affiliate without Cause on or after the date the shareholders of SunTrust approve any transaction described in §1.3(iii) or §1.3(iv) but before the Change in Control which results from such approval, or (B) Executive resigns for Good Reason on or after the date the shareholders of SunTrust approve any transaction described in §1.3(iii) or §1.3(iv) but before the Change in Control which results from such approval; (2) such shareholder approval occurs on or after the date this Agreement becomes effective under § 2; and (3) there is a Change in Control which results from such shareholder approval.
