For each calendar year, a Participant may irrevocably elect, in accordance with this Article and Article 8, to defer receipt of all or part of his Deferral Compensation for the year in which such Compensation would^’ otherwise be paid; provided, however, that unless the Committee consents, such deferred amount for the year may not be less than $10,000. A Participant’s election to defer base salary, if base salary is includable in Deferral Compensation at such time, must be made on or before December 15 for base salary payable in the succeeding calendar year. A Participant’s election to defer an incentive award, if the incentive award is includable in Deferral Compensation at such time, must be made prior to the time the amount of the award is determined under the applicable incentive award program and, in any event, prior to December 15 of the year for which the incentive award performance is determined. In the case of a Participant who becomes employed and eligible for the Plan during the same calendar year, the elections described in this Article may be made no later than 30 days following his first day of eligibility. The Committee may, in unusual circumstances, extend the foregoing December 15 deadlines to no later than December 31 if it concludes that such action is necessary to permit Participants a reasonable make deferral decisions.

4

ARTICLE 6. INTEREST EQUIVALENT FACTOR

6.1 In General. From time to time the Committee shall determine annual interest equivalent factors that apply to Deferrals made in each calendar year. The Committee may determine different interest equivalent factors for Deferrals made in different calendar years, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee may change each year the interest equivalent factor applicable to Deferrals made in a specified calendar year. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the annual interest equivalent factor for Vested Participants for Deferrals prior to 1998 shall be 12 percent. Except as otherwise provided with respect to a Change in Control, the annual interest equivalent factors for Deferrals after 1997 may be changed from time to time by the Committee. Unless the Committee decides otherwise, with respect to Deferrals for each calendar year, the annual interest equivalent factors applicable during the period after termination of employment for Participants who are Vested pursuant to Section 8.5(c) shall be 400 basis points less than the factors applicable during the same period for Vested Participants who are employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual interest equivalent factors applicable to a Participant’s Deferrals (i) at the time of the Participant’s death shall continue to apply until the Participant’s Account is entirely distributed and (ii) shall be consistent with any severance or other agreement between the Company and the Participant.

6.2 Prior to Five Years of Participation. The annual interest equivalent factors applied to Deferrals of a Participant who terminates employment with the Employer less than five years from the date that Deferrals of the Participant are first credited under the Plan (or, if earlier, are first credited under the Fleet Financial Group, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan No. 1) shall be determined in accordance with the schedule below, unless, prior to termination of employment: (i) the Participant becomes Vested; or (ii) the Participant dies.

5

After the Participant has five years of participation in the Plan, the value of the Participant’s Account shall be redetermined by disregarding the preceding provisions of Section 6.2, so that the declared annual interest equivalent factors applicable to Vested Participants during the deferral period are applied retroactively to the respective initial Deferral Dates.

6.3 During Distribution or Upon Change of Control. The annual interest equivalent factors applied to Deferrals of a Participant following commencement (by the Participant or his Beneficiary) of annual installment distributions shall be fixed at the interest equivalent factors applied to the Participant^’s Deferrals immediately prior to the commencement of annual installment distributions. Following a Change of Control, the annual interest equivalent factors applied to Deferrals of a Participant shall not be less than the highest annual interest equivalent factors applicable to Deferrals of the Participant prior to the Change of Control (determined without regard to Section 6.2).

ARTICLE 7. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

7.1 Establishment of Accounts. The Committee shall establish a separate Account for each Participant reflecting the amounts due the Participant under the Plan and shall cause the Company to establish on its books Accounts reflecting the Company’s obligation to pay Participants the amounts due under the Plan.

6

7.2 Adjustments to Accounts. From time to time the Committee shall adjust each Participant’s Account to credit (i) amounts which the Participant has elected to defer under Article 5 and (ii) amounts based on the annual interest equivalent factors determined under Article 6. A Participant’s Account shall also be adjusted to reflect benefit payments and withdrawals under Article 8. A Participant’s Account shall continue to be adjusted under this Article 7 until the entire amount credited to the Account has been paid to the Participant or his Beneficiary.

ARTICLE 8. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

8.1 Following Termination of Employment.

(a) At the time an executive becomes a Participant, or, if later, by December 28, 1998, the Participant shall elect the manner in which his entire Account (other than amounts distributed prior to termination of employment pursuant to the Participant’s election under Section 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4) is to be distributed, from among the following options:

(1) (1) A lump sum

(i) upon termination of employment (including termination due to retirement); or

(ii) at a future date, not before termination of employment, but by age 65 or immediately following termination, whichever is later.

(2) In up to 15 annual installments, commencing:

(i) immediately upon termination of employment; or

(ii) at a future date, not before termination of employment, but by age 65 or immediately following termination, whichever is later.

7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant must be Vested when his employment terminates or he will receive his entire Account in a lump sum at termination. A Participant who has elected to receive payment at a time and in a form described in this Section 8.1(a) may change such election at any time up to 12 months prior to the date of his termination of employment. A changed election made in the 12-month period prior to his termination of employment is not valid and has no effect.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), in the event a Participant is not Vested at the time of termination of employment, or if the value of a Participant’s Account is equal to or less than $10,000 as of the date of termination of employment, or if the Participant has not made an election in accordance with Section 8.1(a), the Participant’s Account shall be fully distributed in a lump sum as soon as practicable following termination of employment.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, for a Vested Participant who terminates employment before January 1, 2000, an election may be made at any time prior to termination of employment to defer receipt beyond termination of employment or to receive installment payments, but such election is effective only with the written consent of the Committee.

8.2 In-Service Distribution Upon a Specified Date. At the time of a deferral election in accordance with Article 5, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive payment in a lump sum of a selected amount or percentage of the total amounts deferred pursuant to such election (and interest credited thereto in accordance with Article 6) at a specified date (“Deferral Date”). Such election shall be effective only if the Participant is an employee of the Employer on the Deferral Date.

8

8.3 Financial Hardship Distribution. In the event a Participant suffers an unanticipated emergency due to circumstances beyond his control that results in a financial hardship, the Participant may request a distribution of all or any part of his Account. The Committee shall determine whether such a financial hardship exists and what amount, if any, may be distributed. In no event shall the aggregate amount of the distribution exceed either the value of the Participant’s Account or the amount determined by the Committee to be necessary to alleviate the Participant’s financial hardship (such hardship amount may include taxes owed because of such distribution) and that is not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant.

8.4 Withdrawals. Subject to a Withdrawal Penalty (as hereinafter defined), a Participant may elect under this Section 8.4, at any time prior to the time that an amount in his Account would otherwise be paid, to withdraw in a single lump sum payment all or a specified portion of the balance of his or her Account in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Such withdrawals shall be reduced by a percentage of the total amount requested, which shall be forfeited by the Participant. Such percentage shall be equal to the annual interest equivalent factor that applies to Deferrals made during the calendar year of such withdrawal election, increased by three percentage points (“Withdrawal Penalty”); provided, however, that such Withdrawal Penalty may never be less than 10 percent. No Withdrawal Penalty shall apply to a withdrawal or distribution made in accordance with Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3.

8.5 Vesting. A Participant shall be Vested upon:

(a) reaching age 65;

(b) reaching age 55 and completing five years of continuous service with the Employer;

9

(c) designation by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that a Participant shall be treated as Vested (regardless of the Participant’s age and years of service);

(d) a Change of Control; or

(e) terminating employment with the Employer, after completing 10 years of continuous service with the Employer but prior to attaining age 55, due to “Fleet Focus” reductions.

8.6 Disability. For purposes of the Plan, a Participant who ceases active employment because of a disability is considered to have terminated employment, except that a Participant who is disabled is not considered to have terminated employment while receiving benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan.

8.7 Tax Withholding. To the extent required by applicable law, Federal, State, and other taxes shall be withheld from a distribution.

ARTICLE 9. BENEFICIARY BENEFITS

A Participant, on a form approved by the Committee, may designate a Beneficiary, or change any prior designation, to receive the remaining balance of his Account upon his death. Payments to a Beneficiary under this Article 9 shall be made in a lump sum or, if the Participant was Vested and so elects for his Beneficiary, in a series of up to 15 annual installment payments, commencing as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Participant dies after annual installments have commenced, the Beneficiary shall receive any remaining installments in accordance with the Participant’s installment election. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if a Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Participant’s entire Account has been distributed, the remaining balance of the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum to the Beneficiary’s

10

estate as soon as practicable following receipt of notice of the Beneficiary’s death. If no Beneficiary is designated (or if a designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant), the balance credited to the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable following receipt of notice of the Participant’s death.

ARTICLE 10. NATURE OF CLAIM FOR PAYMENTS

Except as herein provided, the Company shall not be required to set aside or segregate any assets of any kind to meet its obligations hereunder. A Participant shall have no right on account of the Plan in or to any specific assets of the Company or to any assets of the Trust. Any right to any payment the Participant may have on account of the Plan shall be solely that of a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.

To assist in meeting its obligations under the Plan, the Company has caused the Trust to be established, of which the Company is treated as the owner under Subpart E of Subchapter J, Chapter I of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and may deposit funds with the Trustee of the Trust. Upon a Change of Control, the Company shall promptly appoint an independent Trustee (which may not be the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate) for the Trust, and, if at the time of a Change of Control, the Trust has not been fully funded, the Company shall, within the time and manner specified under such Trust, deposit in such Trust amounts sufficient to satisfy all obligations under the Plan as of the date of deposit.

In all events, the Company shall remain ultimately liable for the benefits payable under this Plan, and to the extent the assets at the disposal of the Trustee are insufficient to enable the Trustee to satisfy all benefits, the Company shall pay all such benefits necessary to meet its obligations under this Plan.

11

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding upon its successors and assigns, whether by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of its business or assets.

ARTICLE 11. ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION

The interest hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall not be alienable by the Participant or Beneficiary by assignment or any other method and will not be subject to be taken by his creditors by any process whatsoever, and any attempt to cause such interest to be so subjected shall not be recognized.

ARTICLE 12. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT

The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and any Participant, or to be consideration for the employment of any Participant.

ARTICLE 13. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Plan may be altered, amended, revoked or terminated in writing by the Committee or the Company, in any manner and at any time; provided, however, that following a Change of Control, no such alteration, amendment, revocation or termination shall reduce the amount of a Participant’s Account or his or her rights to such Account as determined under the provisions of the Plan in effect immediately prior to such Change of Control, or otherwise adversely affect the Participant’s benefits under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant; and further provided, however, that following a Change of Control, the provisions of this Article 13 may not be amended.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan No. 2, shall become a Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 1996.

(d) A Participant may make a one-time irrevocable election, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, to receive a lump-sum payment of Deferrals made after December 31, 1997 and before the time of such payment.
