(The Parent Merger and the Subsidiary Merger shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as the “Merger”.)

2.03 Effectiveness of the Parent Merger. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the Parent Merger shall become effective upon the occurrence of the filing of articles of merger with the North Carolina Secretary of State in accordance with Section 55-11-05 of the NCBCA and the filing of the certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 252 of the DGCL, or such later date and time as may be set forth in such filings (the time the Merger becomes effective on the Effective Date being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE III

Consideration; Exchange Procedures

3.01 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Parent Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each share of CFC Common Stock (excluding Company-Owned Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into shares of BB&T Common Stock based upon a fixed exchange ratio (the “Stock Exchange Ratio”) of .385 of a share of BB&T Common Stock for each share of CFC Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.05) (the “Merger Consideration”).

(a) Company-Owned Stock. Each share of CFC Common Stock held as Company-Owned Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

(b) Outstanding BB&T Common Stock. Each share of BB&T Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Merger.

3.02 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of CFC Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of CFC, other than to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to such CFC Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time, and the consideration provided under this Article III, and each certificate previously representing any such shares of CFC Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive without interest (i) the number of whole shares of BB&T Common Stock and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of CFC Common Stock represented by such certificate have been converted pursuant to this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of CFC or the Surviving Corporation of any shares of CFC Stock.

3.03 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of BB&T Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. Instead, BB&T shall pay to each holder of CFC Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of BB&T Common Stock

(after taking into account all Old Certificates (as defined below) delivered by such holder) an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fractional share of BB&T Common Stock to which the holder would be entitled by the average of the last sale price of BB&T Common Stock as of the market close (as reported on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or, if not reported thereon, in another authoritative source) for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

3.04 Exchange Procedures. (a) At or after the Effective Time, BB&T shall cause BB&T Bank (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of CFC Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), to exchange for outstanding shares of CFC Common Stock in accordance with this Article III, certificates representing shares of BB&T Common Stock (“New Certificates”) and an amount of cash for any fractional shares in accordance with Section 3.03 (together with any dividends or distributions with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Date with respect thereto without any interest on any such cash, dividends or distributions).

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, upon the shareholder’s delivery to the Exchange Agent of Old Certificates owned by such shareholder representing shares of CFC Common Stock (or an indemnity affidavit reasonably satisfactory to BB&T and the Exchange Agent, if any, if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed), BB&T shall cause New Certificates into which such shares of CFC Common Stock are converted on the Effective Date to be delivered to such shareholder and/or any check in respect of cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration (and in respect of any fractional share interests, dividends or distributions that such shareholder shall be entitled to receive). No interest will be paid on any such cash to be paid in lieu of fractional share interests or in respect of dividends or distributions that any such shareholder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of CFC Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to BB&T Common Stock with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Date shall be paid to the record holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing shares of CFC Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such BB&T Common Stock until the holder thereof has delivered properly endorsed Old Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.04. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 3.04, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofor had become payable with respect to shares of BB&T Common Stock on or after the Effective Date, and which such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates.

3.05 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event BB&T changes the number of shares of BB&T Common Stock issued and outstanding between the date hereof and the Effective Date as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, split up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or similar transaction and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Date, the Stock Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.

3.06 Options. (a) On the Effective Date, whether or not then exercisable, each outstanding option to purchase shares of CFC Common Stock under the CFC Stock Plans (each, a “CFC Stock Option”) shall be converted into and become rights with respect to BB&T Common Stock, and BB&T shall assume each CFC Stock Option in accordance with the terms of the CFC Stock Plans, except that from and after the Effective Time (i) BB&T and its Compensation Committee shall be substituted for CFC and the relevant committee of CFC’s Board of Directors for purposes of administering the CFC Stock Plans, (ii) each CFC Stock Option assumed by BB&T may be exercised solely for shares of BB&T Common Stock, (iii) the number of shares of BB&T Common Stock subject to each such CFC Stock Option shall be the number of whole shares of BB&T Common Stock (omitting any fractional share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of CFC Common Stock subject to such CFC Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Exchange Ratio, and (iv) the per share exercise price under each such CFC Stock Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such CFC Stock Option by the Stock Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BB&T may, at its election, substitute as of the Effective Time options under the BB&T Corporation 2004 Stock Incentive Plan or any other duly adopted comparable plan (in either case, the “BB&T Option Plan”) for all or a part of the CFC Stock Options, subject to the following conditions: (A) the requirements of (iii) and (iv) above shall be met; (B) such substitution shall not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of any of the CFC Stock Options; and (C) the substituted options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions as provided in the CFC Stock Option Agreements and the CFC Stock Plans governing each CFC Stock Option. BB&T shall cause each grant of a converted or substitute option to any individual who subsequent to the Merger will be a director or an officer of BB&T as construed under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act shall, as a condition to such conversion or substitution, to be approved in accordance with the provisions of Rule 16b-3. Each CFC Stock Option that is an incentive stock option shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code so as to continue as an incentive stock option under Section 424(a) of the Code, and so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. Each CFC Stock Option that is intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A and related regulations or other guidance shall be subject to adjustment as necessary in order to comply with Prop. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), or any successor provisions thereto. BB&T and CFC agree to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06. BB&T has reserved and shall continue to reserve adequate shares of BB&T Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of any converted or substitute options. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, if it has not already done so, BB&T shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form), as the case may be, with respect to the shares of BB&T Common Stock subject to converted or substitute options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such converted or substitute options remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals, if any, who subsequent to the Merger may be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, BB&T shall administer the CFC Stock Plans assumed pursuant to this Section 3.06 (or the BB&T Option Plan, if applicable) in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent necessary to preserve for such individuals the benefits of Rule 16b-3 to the extent such benefits were available to them prior to the Effective Time. CFC hereby represents that the CFC Stock Plans in their current forms comply with Rule 16b-3 to the extent, if any, required as of the date hereof.

(b) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, BB&T shall deliver to the participants receiving converted options under the BB&T Option Plan an appropriate written notice setting forth each participant’s rights pursuant thereto.

(c) Eligibility to receive stock option grants following the Effective Time with respect to BB&T Common Stock shall be determined by BB&T in accordance with its plans and procedures as in effect from time to time, and subject to any contractual obligations.

(iii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of CFC and its Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of CFC or its Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below in this Section 5.03(g)(iii).

These disclosures were made in writing by management to CFC’s auditors and to its audit committee and a copy has previously been made available to BB&T. As of the date hereof, there is no reason to

believe that CFC’s outside auditors and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, without qualification, when next due.

(ii) Neither CFC nor any of its Subsidiaries has been advised by any Regulatory Authority that such Regulatory Authority is contemplating issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar submission nor to its knowledge has any Regulatory Authority commenced an investigation in connection therewith.

(O) Any other legally binding contract not of the type covered by any of the other items of this Section 5.03(k) involving money or property and having an obligation in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate in any period of 12 consecutive months.

(ii) “Material Contracts” shall mean those contracts on CFC’s Disclosure Schedule listed under Section 5.03(k). All of the Material Contracts are in full force and effect and are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to the enforceability exceptions set forth in Section 5.03(e)) (i) as to CFC or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, and (ii) to the knowledge of CFC, as to the other parties to such Material Contracts.

(m) Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) Section 5.03(m)(i) of CFC’s Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all existing bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee stock ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock, stock option, severance, welfare and fringe benefit plans, employment or severance agreements and all similar practices, policies and arrangements maintained or contributed to by CFC or any of its Subsidiaries and in which any employee or former employee (the “Employees”), consultant or former consultant (the “Consultants”) or director or former director (the “Directors”) of CFC or any of its Subsidiaries participates or to which any such Employees, Consultants or Directors are a party (the “Compensation and Benefit Plans”). Neither CFC nor any of its Subsidiaries has any commitment to create any additional Compensation and Benefit Plan or to

modify or change any existing Compensation and Benefit Plan, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 4.01(e) of this Agreement.

(ii) Each Compensation and Benefit Plan has been operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and with applicable law, including, but not limited to, ERISA, the Code, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, and all filings, disclosures and notices required by ERISA, the Code, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and any other applicable law have been timely made. Each Compensation and Benefit Plan which is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter (including a determination that the related trust under such Compensation and Benefit Plan is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and CFC is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter. There is no material pending or, to the knowledge of CFC, threatened legal action, suit or claim relating to the Compensation and Benefit Plans other than routine claims for benefits thereunder. Neither CFC nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction, or omitted to take any action, with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to subject CFC or any of its Subsidiaries to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA, assuming for purposes of Section 4975 of the Code that the taxable period of any such transaction expired as of the date hereof.

(iii) No liability (other than for payment of premiums to the PBGC which have been made or will be made on a timely basis) under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by CFC or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or any single-employer plan of any entity (an “ERISA Affiliate”) which is considered one employer with CFC under Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA or Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code (an “ERISA Affiliate Plan”). None of CFC, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has contributed, or has been obligated to contribute, to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA at any time since September 26, 1980. No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Compensation and Benefit Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate Plan within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof, and no such notice will be required to be filed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan and, to CFC’s knowledge, no condition exists that presents a material risk that such proceedings will be instituted. To the knowledge of CFC, there is no pending investigation or enforcement action by the PBGC, the Department of Labor or IRS or any other governmental agency with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan. Under each Pension Plan and ERISA Affiliate Plan, as of the date of the most recent actuarial valuation performed prior to the date of this Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all

“benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such actuarial valuation of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan and since such date there has been neither an adverse change in the financial condition of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan nor any amendment or other change to such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan that would increase the amount of benefits thereunder which reasonably could be expected to change such result.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Compensation and Benefit Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan have been timely made in cash or have been reflected on the CFC Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006. Neither any Pension Plan nor any ERISA Affiliate Plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and all required payments to the PBGC with respect to each Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan have been made on or before their due dates.

Each of CFC and BB&T further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy Statement.

(c) BB&T agrees to advise CFC, promptly after BB&T receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or

amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of BB&T Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

6.04 Press Releases. Each of CFC and BB&T agrees that it will not, without the prior approval of the other party, issue any press release or written statement for general circulation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation or NYSE or NASDAQ rules.

6.05 Access; Information. Except as Previously Disclosed, (a) CFC agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford BB&T and BB&T’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, tax returns and, to the extent practicable, work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as BB&T may reasonably request and, during such period, it shall furnish promptly to BB&T (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by CFC pursuant to federal or state securities or banking laws, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of CFC as BB&T may reasonably request.

(b) Each of BB&T and CFC agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to such party, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the party to which such information pertains or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources. No investigation by either party of the business and affairs of the other shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to either party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, CFC shall promptly furnish BB&T with copies of all monthly and other interim financial statements produced in the ordinary course of business as the same shall become available.

6.06 Acquisition Proposals. CFC agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors and affiliates not to, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal, except to the extent that the CFC Board, after consultation with independent legal counsel, determines in good faith that it is probable that the failure to take such

action would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law. It shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties other than BB&T with respect to any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. CFC shall promptly advise BB&T following the receipt by CFC of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal), and advise BB&T of any material developments with respect to such Acquisition Proposal promptly upon the occurrence thereof.

6.07 Affiliate Agreements. Not later than the 15th day prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, CFC shall deliver to BB&T a schedule of each Person that, to the best of its knowledge, is or is reasonably likely to be, as of the date of the CFC Meeting, deemed to be an “affiliate” of CFC (each, a “CFC Affiliate”) as that term is used in Rule 145 under the Securities Act. CFC shall cause each Person who may be deemed to be a CFC Affiliate to execute and deliver to CFC on or before the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. CFC shall deliver such executed affiliate agreements to BB&T at the Closing.

6.08 Takeover Laws. No party hereto shall take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them shall take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from, or, if necessary, challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect. Neither party will take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to comply with any Takeover Provisions and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make those transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) the Takeover Provisions.

6.09 Reports. Each of CFC and BB&T shall file (and shall cause CFC’s Subsidiaries and BB&T’s Subsidiaries, respectively, to file), between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC and any other Regulatory Authorities having jurisdiction over such party, and CFC shall deliver to BB&T copies of all such reports promptly after the same are filed. If financial statements are contained in any such reports filed with the SEC, such financial statements will fairly present the consolidated financial position of the entity filing such statements as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with GAAP (subject in the case of interim financial statements to the absence of notes and to normal recurring year-end adjustments that are not material). As of their respective dates, such reports filed with the SEC will comply in all material respects with the Federal securities laws and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Any financial statements contained in any reports to a Regulatory Authority shall be prepared in accordance with requirements applicable to such reports.

6.10 Exchange Listing. BB&T will use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of BB&T Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Time.

6.11 Regulatory Applications. (a) BB&T and CFC and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to timely effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Each party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority.

6.12 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. (a) Following the Effective Date, BB&T shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and advance expenses to) the present directors, officers and employees of CFC and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent that CFC is permitted to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors, officers and employees under the laws of the State of Delaware, the CFC Certificate and the CFC Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) For a period of three years from the Effective Time, BB&T shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide that portion of directors and officers liability insurance that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of CFC or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, on terms no less favorable than those in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that BB&T may substitute therefor policies providing at least comparable coverage containing terms and conditions no less favorable than those in effect on the date hereof; and provided, further, that officers and directors of CFC or any Subsidiary may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to BB&T’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance; and provided, further, in no event shall the annual premium on such policy exceed 125% of the annual premium payments on CFC’s policy in effect as of the date hereof (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount of the premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, BB&T shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.12(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify BB&T thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of BB&T under Section 6.12(a) unless and to the extent that BB&T is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(d) If BB&T or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of BB&T shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.12.

6.13 Employment Agreements; 401(k) Plan; Other Employee Benefits. (a) As of the date hereof, BB&T (or its specified Subsidiary) shall enter into a seven-year employment/consulting agreement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Employment/Consulting Agreement”), which shall become effective on the Effective Date if the Closing occurs as provided in Section 2.04 of this Agreement.

(b) No later than the Effective Time, CFC shall take such steps as may be necessary to fully vest all participants in the 401(k) plan of CFC. Effective on the Benefit Plan Determination Date with respect to the 401(k) plan of CFC, BB&T shall cause such plan to be merged with the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “BB&T 401(k) Plan”), or to be frozen or to be terminated, in each case as determined by BB&T and subject to and conditional upon the receipt of all applicable regulatory or governmental approvals. Each employee of CFC at the Effective Time (i) who is a participant in the 401(k) plan of CFC, (ii) who becomes an employee of BB&T or of any of its Subsidiaries (the “Employer Entity”) immediately following the Effective Time, and (iii) who continues in the employment of an Employer Entity until the Benefit Plan Determination Date for the BB&T 401(k) Plan, shall be eligible to participate in the BB&T 401(k) Plan as of the Benefit Plan Determination Date. Any other employee of CFC who is employed by an Employer Entity on or after the Benefit Plan Determination Date shall be eligible to be a participant in the BB&T 401(k) Plan upon complying with eligibility requirements. All rights to participate in the BB&T 401(k) Plan are subject to BB&T’s right to amend or terminate the plan. Until the Benefit Plan Determination Date, BB&T shall continue in effect, for the benefit of participating employees, the 401(k) plan of CFC. For purposes of administering the BB&T 401(k) Plan, service with CFC and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be service with BB&T for participation and vesting purposes, but not for purposes of benefit accrual. Any compensation earned and deferred by employees of CFC in the calendar year of the Benefit Plan Determination Date will be recognized by BB&T in the administration of the BB&T 401(k) Plan. Additionally, employees of CFC will be eligible to receive from BB&T in the administration of the BB&T 401(k) Plan any matching contribution received by such employees as a participant in the 401(k) Plan of CFC. Each employee of CFC or its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time who becomes an employee immediately following the Effective Time of an Employer Entity is referred to here as a “Transferred Employee.”

(c) Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in group hospitalization, medical, dental, life, disability and other welfare benefit plans and programs available to employees of the Employer Entity, subject to the terms of such plans and programs,

as of the Benefit Plan Determination Date for each such plan or program, conditional upon the Transferred Employee’s being employed by an Employer Entity as of such Benefit Plan Determination Date and subject to complying with eligibility requirements of the respective plans and programs. With respect to any welfare benefit plan or program of CFC that the Employer Entity determines, in its sole discretion, provides benefits of the same type or class as a corresponding plan or program maintained by an Employer Entity, the Employer Entity shall continue such CFC plan or program in effect for the benefit of the Transferred Employees so long as they remain eligible to participate and until they shall become eligible to become participants in the corresponding plan or program maintained by the Employer Entity (and, with respect to any such plan or program, subject to complying with eligibility requirements and subject to the right of the Employer Entity to terminate such plan or program). For purposes of administering the welfare plans and programs subject to this Section 6.13, service with CFC shall be deemed to be service with the Employer Entity for the purpose of determining eligibility to participate and vesting (if applicable) in such welfare plans and programs, but not for the purpose of computing benefits, if any, determined in whole or in part with reference to service (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.13(d)).

(d) Except to the extent of commitments herein or other contractual commitments, if any, specifically made or assumed hereunder by BB&T, neither BB&T nor any Employer Entity shall have any obligation arising from the Merger to continue any Transferred Employees in its employ or in any specific job or to provide to any Transferred Employee any specified level of compensation or any incentive payments, benefits or perquisites. Each Transferred Employee who is terminated by an Employer Entity subsequent to the Effective Time, excluding any employee who has a then existing contract explicitly providing for severance in lieu of severance plan benefits, shall be entitled to severance pay in accordance with the Coastal Federal Bank Change in Control Severance Compensation Plan (the “Bank Severance Plan”) if and to the extent that such Transferred Employee is entitled to severance pay under the Bank Severance Plan. Each Transferred Employee’s service with BB&T shall be treated as service with CFC for purposes of determining the amount of severance pay, if any, under the Bank Severance Plan.

(e) BB&T agrees to honor all employment agreements, severance agreements and deferred compensation agreements that CFC and its Subsidiaries have with their current and former employees and directors and which have been Previously Disclosed to BB&T pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent any such agreements shall be superseded or terminated at the Closing or following the Effective Date. BB&T acknowledges and agrees that (i) each CFC employee covered by a Previously Disclosed CFC or CFC Affiliate employment agreement shall be entitled to a severance payment and continuation of employee benefits under the applicable change in control severance provisions of such agreement without regard to whether such officer continues employment with BB&T after the Effective Date as a Transferred Employee, provided each such CFC employee executes an acknowledgment of payment and release of obligations under his or her existing employment agreement (in a form acceptable to BB&T), and (ii) such payment shall be made by BB&T not later than the first to occur of (x) the officer’s voluntary or involuntary termination of employment or (y) the date that is 120 days after the Effective Date without regard to whether such employee is still employed by BB&T as of such date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to an employee covered by a Previously Disclosed CFC or CFC Affiliate employment agreement who enters into a new employment agreement

with BB&T. Except for the agreements described in the preceding sentence and except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.13, the employee benefit plans of CFC shall, in the sole discretion of BB&T, be frozen, terminated or merged into comparable plans of BB&T, effective as BB&T shall determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, BB&T will continue in effect any short-term bonus plans of CFC (the “CFC Bonus Arrangements”) until, as determined by BB&T, (i) the date of completion of conversion of the data services systems of CFC and its Subsidiaries to the data service systems of BB&T and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the date that former CFC executives are made parties to the BB&T Amended and Restated Short Term Incentive Plan, or (iii) the date the former CFC employees are made parties to the applicable line of business incentive plan (each of the BB&T Amended and Restated Short Term Incentive Plan and the applicable line of business incentive plan shall referred to herein as a “BB&T Bonus Plan”). If any former employee of CFC would earn amounts under both the CFC Bonus Arrangements and the applicable BB&T Bonus Plan for any calendar year, BB&T shall make appropriate adjustments in the amounts earned under such programs to avoid duplication and to pro-rate the amount earned by such employee under the CFC Bonus Arrangements and the applicable BB&T Bonus Plan for the portion of the year in which such employee participated in each such plan.

(f) CFC will enter into retention bonus arrangements (in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as BB&T shall specify) with such key employees of CFC and its Subsidiaries as are requested or approved by BB&T.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall either (i) constitute an amendment to an existing Compensation and Benefit Plan of CFC or BB&T, or (ii) constitute the creation of a new Compensation and Benefit Plan for either CFC or BB&T.

6.14 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of CFC and BB&T shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

6.15 Dividend Coordination. It is agreed by the parties hereto that they will cooperate to assure that as a result of the Merger, during any applicable period, there shall not be a payment of both a BB&T and a CFC dividend. The parties further agree that if the Effective Date is at the end of a fiscal quarter, then they will cooperate to assure that the CFC shareholders receive the dividend declared by BB&T, if any, rather than the dividend for that period, if any, declared by CFC.

6.16 Advisory Board. Each of the current members of the CFC Board will be asked to serve on a BB&T local advisory board for the region formerly served by CFC, and BB&T will pay compensation to such directors for their service on such BB&T local advisory board consistent with the existing fee structure offered by CFC to such directors for a period of two years after the Effective Date. After the expiration of such two-year period, BB&T will pay compensation to such directors for their service on such BB&T local advisory board consistent with BB&T’s fee policies and age limits for advisory board members. Any board member who

agrees to serve on such BB&T local advisory board shall enter into a two-year noncompete agreement, which shall commence on the Effective Date.

6.17 Tax Treatment. Each of BB&T and CFC agrees not to take any actions subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would adversely affect the ability of CFC and its shareholders to characterize the Merger as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and each of BB&T and CFC agrees to take such action as may be reasonably required, if such action may be reasonably taken to reverse the impact of any past actions that would adversely impact the ability for the Merger to be characterized as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

6.18 No Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, without the written consent of the other party, each of BB&T and CFC will not do any act or suffer any omission of any nature whatsoever that would cause any of the representations or warranties made in Article V of this Agreement to become untrue or incorrect in any material respect.

6.19 Consents. Each of BB&T and CFC shall use its best efforts to obtain any required consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.20 Insurance Coverage. CFC shall cause each of the policies of insurance listed in its Disclosure Schedule to remain in effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Date.

6.21 Correction of Information. Each of BB&T and CFC shall promptly correct and supplement any information furnished under this Agreement so that such information shall be correct and complete in all material respects at all times, and shall include all facts necessary to make such information correct and complete in all material respects at all times, provided that any such correction that may result in a change to a party’s Disclosure Schedule shall not be made without the prior written consent of the other party.

6.22 Confidentiality. Except for the use of information in connection with the Registration Statement described in Section 6.03 hereof and any other governmental filings required in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all information (collectively, the “Information”) received by each of CFC and BB&T, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be kept in strictest confidence; provided that, subsequent to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, this Section 6.22 shall not apply to information included in the Registration Statement or to be included in the official Proxy/Prospectus to be sent to the shareholders of CFC under Section 6.03. CFC and BB&T agree that the Information will be used only for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. CFC and BB&T agree to hold the Information in strictest confidence and shall not use, and shall not disclose directly or indirectly any of such Information except when, after and to the extent such Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through the failure of CFC or BB&T to fulfill its obligations hereunder, (ii) was already known to the party receiving the Information on a nonconfidential basis prior to the disclosure or (iii) is subsequently disclosed to the party receiving the Information on a nonconfidential basis by a third party having no obligation of confidentiality to the party disclosing the Information. It is agreed and

understood that the obligations of CFC and BB&T contained in this Section 6.22 shall survive the Closing. It is also agreed and understood that to the extent the terms of this Section 6.22 differ from or are inconsistent with the terms of Section 6.05(b), this Section 6.22 and Section 6.05(b) shall be read together so as to afford the broadest scope of intended confidentiality.

(ii) after receiving an Acquisition Proposal, the CFC Board does not take action to convene the CFC Meeting and/or recommend that CFC shareholders adopt this Agreement, and within 18 months after such receipt, CFC shall have entered into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated.

Upon payment of the fee described in this Section 8.03, CFC shall have no further liability to BB&T at law or in equity with respect to such termination under Section 8.01(b), 8.01(d)(ii) or 8.01(e), or with respect to the CFC Board’s failure to take action to convene the CFC Meeting and/or recommend that CFC shareholders adopt this Agreement. CFC acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, BB&T would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if CFC fails to pay timely any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, BB&T commences a suit that results in a judgment against CFC for the amount payable to BB&T pursuant to this Section 8.03, CFC shall pay to BB&T its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount so payable at the applicable Federal Funds rate.

Form of CFC Affiliate Agreement

, 2007

BB&T Corporation

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been advised that as of the date hereof I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Coastal Financial Corporation (“CFC”), as that term is defined for purposes of Paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the Rules and Regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) and Coastal Financial Corporation dated as of December 20, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of CFC with and into BB&T (the “Merger”), and as a result of the Merger, I may receive shares of BB&T common stock (“BB&T Common Shares”) in exchange for shares of CFC common stock (“CFC Stock”) owned by me at the Effective Time (as defined and determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement). This letter is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Merger Agreement. I represent and warrant to BB&T that in such event:

A. I will not sell, assign or transfer the BB&T Common Shares that I receive as aforesaid in violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.

B. I have carefully read this letter and the Merger Agreement and have discussed their requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the BB&T Common Shares, to the extent I feel necessary, with my counsel or counsel for CFC. I understand that BB&T is relying on the representations I am making in this letter and I hereby agree to hold harmless and indemnify BB&T and its officers and directors from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or liabilities (“Losses”) to which BB&T or any officer or director of BB&T may become subject under the Act or otherwise as a result of the untruth, breach, or failure of such representations.

C. I have been advised that the issuance of the BB&T Common Shares issued to me pursuant to the Merger will have been registered with the Commission under the Act on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. However, I have also been advised that since I may be deemed to be an affiliate under the Rules and Regulations at the time the Merger

was submitted for a vote of the shareholders of CFC, that the BB&T Common Shares must be held by me indefinitely unless (i) my subsequent distribution of BB&T Common Shares has been registered under the Act; (ii) a sale of the BB&T Common Shares is made in conformity with the volume and other applicable limitations of a transaction permitted by Rule 145 promulgated by the Commission under the Act and as to which BB&T has received satisfactory evidence of the compliance and conformity with said Rule, or (iii) a transaction in which, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to BB&T or in accordance with a no-action letter from the Commission, some other exemption from registration is available with respect to any such proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of the BB&T Common Shares.

D. I also understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to BB&T’s transfer agent with respect to any BB&T Common Shares which I receive in the Merger and that there will be placed on the certificates for such BB&T Common Shares, a legend stating in substance:

“The shares represented by this certificate have been issued or transferred to the registered holder as a result of a transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), applies. The shares represented by this certificate may not be sold, transferred or assigned, and the issuer shall not be required to give effect to any attempted sale, transfer or assignment, except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) a transaction permitted by Rule 145 and as to which the issuer has received reasonable and satisfactory evidence of compliance with the provisions of Rule 145, or (iii) a transaction in which, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the issuer or in accordance with a “no action” letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such shares are not required to be registered under the Act.”

A-2

It is understood and agreed that the legend set forth in Paragraph D above shall be removed and any stop order instructions with respect thereto shall be canceled upon receipt of advice from counsel satisfactory to BB&T that such actions are appropriate under the then-existing circumstances.


				Very truly yours,

Date: , 2007
