BB&T CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

FOR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES

Section 1.     Establishment and Purpose:

1.1   Establishment of Plan:    Effective as of January 1, 1998, BB&T Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the “BB&T Corporation Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan for Highly Compensated Employees” (the “Prior Plan”) for the benefit of certain eligible highly compensated employees of the Company and participating Affiliates. The Prior Plan is hereby amended and restated, effective as of November 1, 2001, and shall be known as the BB&T CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN FOR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES (the “Plan”). All benefits from the Plan shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company and participating Affiliates. The Plan is comprised of both an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA and an unfunded plan maintained for the purposes of providing deferred compensation to a “select group of highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Plan, therefore, is intended to be exempt from the participation, vesting, funding, and fiduciary requirements of Title I of ERISA.

1.2   Purpose of Plan:    The primary purpose of the Plan is to supplement the benefits payable to certain participants under the qualified BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan to the extent that such benefits are curtailed by the application of certain limits imposed by the Code. The Plan is also intended to provide certain participants in the Company’s executive incentive compensation plans with an effective means of deferring on a pre-tax basis a portion of the payments they are entitled to receive under such plans.

1.3  Application of Plan:    The terms of this Plan are applicable only to Participants who are in the Service of the Company or a participating Affiliate on or after November 1, 2001.

Section 2.     Definitions and Construction:

Wherever appropriate, words used in the Plan in the singular may include the plural, or the plural may be read as the singular. References to one gender shall include the other. A capitalized term used, but not defined in the Plan, shall have the same meaning given in Section 1 of the Savings Plan, depending on the context in which the term is used.

Section 4.     Vesting:

The interest of a Participant in his Salary Reduction Account, Discretionary Account, Incentive Compensation Account and Prior Plan Account shall be fully vested (i.e., nonforfeitable) at all times.

Section 5.     Payment of Benefits:

5.1   Distribution: Except as otherwise provided in Section 6, the vested Accrued Benefit of a Participant shall be distributed to or with respect to a Participant only upon termination of the Participant’s Service with the Employer (including all Affiliates thereof). Payment of benefits on account of a non-death termination of Service shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2. Payment of benefits on account of the death of the Participant shall be made in accordance with Section 5.3.

5.2   Payment of Benefits for Reasons Other Than Death:

10

5.2.1  Form of Distribution:    Subject to the provisions of Section 17, the vested Accrued Benefit of a Participant who has terminated Service for any reason other than death shall be paid to the Participant or applied for his benefit under one of the following options, as elected by the Participant:

(1)  Term Certain Option:    Payment of his vested Accrued Benefit to him in monthly installments over a term certain not to exceed 180 months. If the term certain selected by the Participant pursuant to this Section 5.2.1 would result in payments of less than $100.00 per month, payments shall be made at the rate of $100.00 per month until the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is paid in full.

(2)  Lump Sum Option:    Payment of his vested Accrued Benefit to him in a lump sum.

The election of the form of distribution (the “Form Election”) shall be made by the Participant on a form approved by the Committee and filed with the Committee as provided in Section 5.2.3. If the Participant fails to elect a distribution option, his vested Accrued Benefit shall be paid to him under the Lump Sum Option. The amount of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit for purposes of any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date such distribution is actually processed by the Committee or its designee.

5.2.2 Commencement and Timing of Distribution:    Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 and subject to the provisions of Section 17, no benefit payments will be made to the Participant from the Plan under this Section 5.2 until the Service of the Participant is terminated. Payment of his vested Accrued Benefit shall commence within one of the following periods, as elected by the Participant:

Option (1) Distribution shall commence within the 60-day period next following the date the Service of the Participant terminates.

Option (2) Distribution shall commence within the period beginning on the first day of January of the Plan Year which next follows the Plan Year in which the Service of the Participant terminated and ending on the last day of February of such Plan Year.

Option (3) Distribution shall commence within the 60-day period next following the date the Participant attains age 65.

Option (4) Distribution shall commence within the period beginning on the first day of January of the Plan Year which next follows the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 65 and ending on the last day of February of such Plan Year.

11

The election of the date as of which distribution shall commence (the “Timing Election”) shall be made on a form approved by the Committee and filed with the Committee as provided in Section 5.2.3. If the Participant fails to elect one of these options, Option (1) will be deemed to have been elected by the Participant.

5.2.3  Timing of Election:    The Form Election and Timing Election shall be made by the Participant on or before the Entry Date the Participant enters the Plan. The Participant’s election may be revoked at any time by the Participant during the “Election Period.” The Election Period begins as of the Entry Date the Participant enters the Plan and ends on the earlier to occur of (i) the date the Participant terminates Service; or (ii) the date which precedes the date payment of his benefit is to commence by twelve (12) calendar months. The Form Election and Timing Election in effect as of the close of the Election Period shall be irrevocable.

5.2.4  Medium of Distribution:    Distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash.

5.2.5  Installment Payments:    If the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is to be distributed in installments pursuant to the Term Certain Option, the amount of each monthly installment shall initially be equal to the value of the Account as of the date benefit payments are to commence multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of installments to be paid. As of each February 1 (the “Annual Valuation Date”), the amount of the monthly installment payment shall be adjusted so that for the twelve consecutive month period beginning on such Annual Valuation Date the amount of each monthly installment payment shall be equal to the value of the Account on such Annual Valuation Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the number of installments remaining to be paid. The Account shall continue to be adjusted as provided in Section 7 until the entire balance credited to the Account has been paid.

5.3   Payment of Death Benefit:    On the death of a Participant, his vested Accrued Benefit shall be paid to his Beneficiary in accordance with the following special provisions:

5.3.1  Death Before Payments Begin:    If the Participant dies before payment of his vested Accrued Benefit begins under Section 5.2, payment of his vested Accrued Benefit to his Beneficiary shall commence as soon as practicable following the date of the Participant’s death but in no event earlier than the sixtieth day next following the date of the Participant’s death. The amount of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit for purposes of any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date such distribution is actually processed by the Committee or its designee. The vested Accrued Benefit of the Participant shall be paid to the Beneficiary in cash under the Lump Sum Option described in Section 5.2.1(2).

12

5.3.2  Death After Payments Begin:    If the Participant dies on or after payment of his vested Accrued Benefit commences under Section 5.2, the remaining payments (if any) that would have been made to the Participant had he not died shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the same manner as they would have been paid to the Participant had he lived.

5.3.3  Rules:    Subject to the provisions of Section 17, the Committee may from time to time adopt additional policies or rules governing the manner in which distributions will be made from the Plan so that the Plan may be conveniently administered.

13

Section 6.     Unforeseeable Emergency Payments:

6.1   Conditions for Request:    Subject to the provisions of Section 17, a Participant may, at any time prior to his termination of Service, make application to the Committee to receive a cash payment in a lump sum of all or a portion of the total amount credited to his Account (excluding for this purpose his Profit Sharing Account, if any) by reason of an unforeseeable emergency. The amount of a payment on account of an unforeseeable emergency shall not exceed the amount required to meet the financial hardship created by the unforeseeable emergency and not otherwise reasonably available from other resources of the Participant (including all amounts that may be withdrawn from the Savings Plan). An unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant, loss of a Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The determination of whether an unforeseeable emergency exists within the scope of this Section 6.1 shall be made by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, and its decision to grant or deny a payment on account of an unforeseeable emergency shall be final. The Committee shall apply uniform and nondiscriminatory standards in making its decision.

6.2   Written Request:    The Participant’s request for a payment on account of an unforeseeable emergency must be made in writing to the Committee. The request must specify the nature of the financial hardship, the total amount to be paid from his Account, and the total amount of the actual expense incurred or to be incurred on account of hardship.

6.3   Processing of Request:    If a payment under this Section 6 is approved, such payment shall be made as soon thereafter as practicable. The processing of the request shall be

14

completed as soon as practicable from the date on which the Committee receives the properly completed written request for a payment on account of an unforeseeable emergency. If a Participant terminates Service after a request is approved in accordance with this Section 6 but prior to payment of the full amount approved, the approval of his request shall be automatically void and the benefits he is entitled to receive under the Plan shall be paid in accordance with the applicable payment provisions of the Plan. Only one payment because of an unforeseeable emergency shall be made within any Plan Year.

Prior to July 1, 2001, Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. (“S&S”) sponsored and maintained the Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. and Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc. Deferral Plan (the “S&S Plan”).

If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant or Beneficiary furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by other publication.

19.2   Lost Distributees:    A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Plan Administrator is unable after a reasonable period of time to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary for the forfeited benefit.

19.3   Reliance on Data:    The Employer, the Committee and the Plan Administrator shall have the right to rely on any data provided by the Participant or by any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant, and the Employer, the Committee and the Plan Administrator shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any representation made at any time by a Participant or Beneficiary.

19.4   Receipt and Release for Payments:    Any payment made from the Plan to or with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary, or pursuant to a disclaimer by a Beneficiary, shall, to the

34

extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Plan and the Employer with respect to the Plan. The recipient of any payment from the Plan may be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in such form as shall be acceptable to the Committee.

19.5   Headings:    The headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof.

19.6   Continuation of Employment:    The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any Employee or any persons for continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Employee or to deal with him without regard to the effect thereof under the Plan.

19.7   Construction:    The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of North Carolina.

19.8   Nonliability of Employer:    The Employer does not guarantee the Participants, former Participants or Beneficiaries against loss of or depreciation in value of any right or benefit that any of them may acquire under the terms of the Plan, nor does the Employer guarantee to any of them that the assets of the Employer will be sufficient to provide any or all benefits payable under the Plan at any time, including any time that the Plan may be terminated or partially terminated.

19.9   Severability:    All provisions contained in this Plan shall be severable, and in the event that any one or more of them shall be held to be invalid by any competent court, this Plan shall be interpreted as if such invalid provisions were not contained herein.

19.10   Merger and Consolidation:    The Employer shall not consolidate or merge into or with another corporation or entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another

35

corporation, partnership, trust or other entities (a “Successor Entity”) unless such Successor Entity shall assume the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan and upon such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms and conditions of the Plan.

19.11 Withholding Taxes:    The Employer shall satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to making any benefit payment under the Plan. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made by the Employer in cash, such payments shall be net of any amounts sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this non-qualified, deferred compensation plan is executed in behalf of the Company as of the 8 ^th day of November, 2001, to be effective as of November 1, 2001.
