STATE STREET CORPORATION 2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 1. Purpose The purpose of this 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of State Street Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), is to advance the interests of the Company’s shareholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of the Company’s shareholders. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include any of the Company’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations thereunder (the “Code”) and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 2. Eligibility All of the Company’s employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors to the Company (as the terms consultants and advisors are defined and interpreted for purposes of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any successor form) are eligible to be granted Awards (as defined below) under the Plan. Each person who is granted an Award under the Plan is deemed a “Participant.” The Plan provides for the following types of awards, each of which is referred to as an “Award”: Options (as defined in Section 5), SARs (as defined in Section 6), Restricted Stock (as defined in Section 7), RSUs (as defined in Section 7) and Other Stock-Based Awards (as defined in Section 8). Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly. 3. Administration and Delegation (a) Administration by Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board shall have authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board may construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award agreements entered into under the Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award. All actions and decisions by the Board with respect to the Plan and any Awards shall be made in the Board’s discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award.
(b) Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a “Committee”). All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee. During such time as the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members, each member of which shall be an independent director under applicable stock exchange rules, an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 162(m)”) and a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. (c) Delegation of Granting and Other Authority. The Board or a Committee may delegate to (1) one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine; (2) to one or more officers of the Company the power and authority to grant or to allocate, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws and subject to such limitations under the Plan or as the Board or the Committee may impose, Awards among such persons (other than to any “executive officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or to any “officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act)) eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as such delegated member or members of the Board or the Committee or officer or officers of the Company determine consistent with such delegation; and (3) to such employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. In the event of any delegation described in the preceding sentence, references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the delegate to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such person. (d) Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Awards to non-employee directors will be granted and administered by a Committee, all of the members of which are independent directors as defined by Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. 4. Stock Available for Awards (a) Number of Shares; Share Counting. (1) Authorized Number of Shares. Awards may be made under the Plan (any or all of which Awards may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 5(b)) for such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the sum of: (A) 8,300,000 shares of Common Stock; plus (B) such additional number of shares of Common Stock (up to 28,500,000 shares) as is equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Existing Plan”) that remain available for grant under the Existing Plan immediately prior to the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders -2-
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the Existing Plan which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitations of the Code). Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. (2) Share Counting. For purposes of counting the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan under this Section 4(a) and under the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2): (A) all shares of Common Stock covered by SARs shall be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2); provided, however, that (i) SARs that may be settled only in cash shall not be so counted and (ii) if the Company grants an SAR in tandem with an Option for the same number of shares of Common Stock and provides that only one such Award may be exercised (a “Tandem SAR”), only the shares covered by the Option, and not the shares covered by the Tandem SAR, shall be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other’s exercise will not restore shares to the Plan; (B) if any Award (i) expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right), or (ii) results in any Common Stock not being issued (including as result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash), the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards. Further, shares of Common Stock delivered (either by actual delivery, attestation or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to exercise an Award or to satisfy any tax withholding obligations in accordance with Section 11(d) (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock available for the future grant of Awards, provided that no more than the number of shares used to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding obligation shall be added back to the Plan pursuant to this section 4(a)(2)(B). However, (1) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing shall be subject to any limitations under the Code, (2) in the case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2) shall be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle such SAR upon exercise and (3) the shares covered by a Tandem SAR shall not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of such Tandem SAR; and (C) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Awards. -3-
(b) Sublimits. Subject to adjustment under Section 10, the following sublimits on the number of shares subject to Awards shall apply: (1) Section 162(m) Per-Participant Limits. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in any calendar year shall each be 2,000,000, and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000. The per-Participant limits described in this Section 4(b)(1) shall be construed and applied consistently with Section 162(m). (2) Limit Applicable to Non-Employee Directors. In any calendar year, the sum of cash compensation paid to any non-employee director for service as a director (“Director Cash Compensation”) and the value of Awards under the Plan made to such non-employee director (calculated based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes) (“Director Equity Compensation”) shall not exceed $1,500,000. The Board may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its discretion, provided that the non- employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(2), Director Cash Compensation and Director Equity Compensation in any calendar year shall include any amounts or grants that would have been paid or made, as applicable, to a particular non-employee director absent such director’s election to defer such compensation pursuant to any arrangement or plan of the Company permitting deferral of such compensation. (c) Substitute Awards. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a)(1) or any sublimits contained in the Plan, except as may be required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code. 5. Stock Options (a) General. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as the Board considers necessary or advisable. (b) Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall only be granted to employees of State Street Corporation, any of State Street Corporation’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the -4-
Code, and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. An Option that is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be designated a “Nonstatutory Stock Option.” The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other person, if an Option (or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option or if the Company converts an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option. (c) Exercise Price. The Board shall establish the exercise price of each Option or the formula by which such exercise price will be determined. The exercise price shall be specified in the applicable Option agreement. The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided that if the Board approves the grant of an Option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value on such future date. “Grant Date Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the Plan will be determined as follows: (1) if the Common Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price (for the primary trading session) on the date of grant; or (2) if the Common Stock does not trade on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as reported by an authorized OTCBB market data vendor as listed on the OTCBB website (otcbb.com) on the date of grant; or (3) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Board will determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value for purposes of the Plan using any measure of value it determines to be appropriate (including, as it considers appropriate, relying on appraisals) in a manner consistent with the valuation principles under Code Section 409A, except as the Board may expressly determine otherwise. For any date that is not a trading day, the Grant Date Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for such date will be determined by using the closing sale price or average of the bid and asked prices, as appropriate, for the immediately preceding trading day and with the timing in the formulas above adjusted accordingly. The Board can substitute a particular time of day or other measure of “closing sale price” or “bid and asked prices” if appropriate because of exchange or market procedures or can, in its sole discretion, use weighted averages either on a daily basis or such longer period as complies with Code Section 409A. The Board has sole discretion to determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value for purposes of the Plan, and all Awards are conditioned on the participants’ agreement that the Board’s determination is conclusive and binding even though others might make a different determination. (d) Duration of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable Option agreement; provided, however, that no Option will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years. -5-
(e) Exercise of Options. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form (which may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with payment in full (in the manner specified in Section 5(f)) of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be delivered by the Company as soon as practicable following exercise. (f) Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: (1) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; (2) except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; (3) to the extent provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), provided (i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for such minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Board and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; (4) to the extent provided for in the applicable Nonstatutory Stock Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (i) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised, less (ii) such number of shares as is equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (B) the fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) on the date of exercise; (5) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or (6) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment. (g) Limitation on Repricing. Unless such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 10): (1) amend any outstanding Option granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such outstanding Option, (2) cancel any outstanding option (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new -6-
Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(c)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the canceled option, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding Option with an exercise price per share above the then-current fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. (h) No Reload Options. No Option granted under the Plan shall contain any provision entitling the Participant to the automatic grant of additional Options in connection with any exercise of the original Option. 6. Stock Appreciation Rights (a) General. The Board may grant Awards consisting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount of Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof (such form to be determined by the Board) determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) over the measurement price established pursuant to Section 6(b). The date as of which such appreciation is determined shall be the exercise date. (b) Measurement Price. The Board shall establish the measurement price of each SAR and specify it in the applicable SAR agreement. The measurement price shall not be less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted; provided that if the Board approves the grant of an SAR effective as of a future date, the measurement price shall be not less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value on such future date. (c) Duration of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each SAR shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable SAR agreement; provided, however, that no SAR will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years. (d) Exercise of SARs. SARs may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form (which may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with any other documents required by the Board. (e) Limitation on Repricing. Unless such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 10): (1) amend any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan to provide a measurement price per share that is lower than the then-current measurement price per share of such outstanding SAR, (2) cancel any outstanding SAR (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(c)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having a measurement price per share lower than the then-current measurement price per share of the cancelled SAR, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding SAR with a measurement price per share above the -7-
then-current fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE. (f) No Reload SARs. No SAR granted under the Plan shall contain any provision entitling the Participant to the automatic grant of additional SARs in connection with any exercise of the original SAR. 7. Restricted Stock; RSUs (a) General. The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”), subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Award. The Board may also grant Awards entitling the recipient to receive shares of Common Stock or cash to be delivered at the time such Award vests or is settled by the Company (“RSUs”). (b) Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock and RSUs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of Restricted Stock and RSUs, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any. (c) Stock Certificates; Dividends. The Company may require that any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, as well as dividends or distributions paid on such Restricted Stock, shall be deposited in escrow by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee). At the expiration of the applicable vesting, forfeiture and / or restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions as well as any dividends or other distributions to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to his or her Designated Beneficiary. “Designated Beneficiary” means (i) the beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or (ii) in the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, the Participant’s estate. (d) Additional Provisions Relating to RSUs. (1) Settlement. Upon the vesting of and/or lapsing of any other restrictions (i.e., settlement) with respect to each RSU, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Award agreement or (if so provided in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise determined by the Board) an amount of cash equal to the fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) of such number of shares or a combination thereof. The Board may provide that settlement of RSUs shall be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the Participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”). -8-
(2) Voting Rights. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any RSUs. 8. Other Stock-Based Awards (a) General. The Board may grant other Awards of shares of Common Stock, and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock or other property (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock- Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as the Board shall determine. (b) Terms and Conditions. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock-Based Award, including any purchase price applicable thereto. 9. Performance Awards. (a) Grants. Restricted Stock, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan may be made subject to the achievement of performance goals pursuant to this Section 9 (“Performance Awards”). (b) Committee. Grants of Performance Awards to any Covered Employee (as defined below) intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) (“Performance-Based Compensation”) shall be made only by a Committee (or a subcommittee of a Committee) comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the Board or to a Committee shall be treated as referring to such Committee (or subcommittee). “Covered Employee” shall mean any person who is, or whom the Committee, in its discretion, determines may be, a “covered employee” under Section 162(m)(3) of the Code. (c) Performance Measures. For any Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall specify that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures established by the Committee, which shall be based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following, which may be determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or on a non-GAAP basis, as determined by the Committee (the “Performance Measures”): i) earnings or earnings per share xii) risk control ii) return on equity xiii) expense iii) return on assets xiv) operating leverage iv) return on capital xv) operating fee leverage v) cost of capital xvi) capital ratios vi) total stockholder return xvii) liquidity ratios -9-
vii) revenue xviii) income viii) market share xix) comprehensive capital analysis and ix) quality/service review (CCAR) x) organizational development xx) other regulatory-related metric xi) strategic initiatives (including acquisitions or dispositions) Such goals may reflect absolute entity or business unit performance or a relative comparison to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated. The Performance Measures: (x) may vary by Participant and may be different for different Awards; (y) may be particular to a Participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the Participant works and may cover such period as may be specified by the Committee; and (z) shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m). Awards that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be based on these or such other performance measures as the Board may determine. (d) Adjustments to Performance Measures. The Committee may provide, no later than the deadline for establishing the Performance Measures for a year, that one or more of the Performance Measures applicable to an Award or Awards for such year will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without limitation, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, expenses associated with acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, amortization of purchased intangibles associated with acquisitions, impact (dilution and expenses) of securities issuances (debt or equity) to finance, or in contemplation of, acquisitions or ventures, merger and integration expenses, changes in accounting principles or interpretations, changes in tax law or financial regulatory law, impairment charges, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, charges for restructuring or rationalization programs (e.g., cost of workforce reductions, facilities or lease abandonments, asset impairments), one-time insurance claims payments, extraordinary and/or non-recurring items, litigation, regulatory matter or tax rate changes) occurring during the year that affect the applicable Performance Measure. (e) Adjustments to Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the number of shares payable pursuant to such Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance measures except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant or a change in control of the Company. (f) Other. The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Performance Awards as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for Performance-Based Compensation. With respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with qualifying such Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance Awards, the Committee will -10-
preestablish, in writing, one or more specific performance measures no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Performance Award as Performance-Based Compensation). Prior to grant, vesting or payment of such Performance Award, as the case may be, the Committee will certify whether the applicable performance measures have been attained and such determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be granted after the first meeting of the shareholders of the Company held in 2022 until the performance measures set forth in Section 9(c) (as originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and reapproved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m), unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval. 10. Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events (a) Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under the Plan, (ii) the share counting rules and sublimits set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b), (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding Option, (iv) the share and per-share provisions and the measurement price of each outstanding SAR, (v) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding award of Restricted Stock and (vi) the share and per-share-related provisions and the purchase price, if any, of each outstanding RSU and each Other Stock-Based Award, shall be equitably adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) in the manner determined by the Board. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding Option are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend. (b) Covered Transactions and Change in Control. (1) Definitions. (i) A “Covered Transaction” shall mean: (A) a consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of stock, in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock by a -11-
single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert; (B) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or (C) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

(ii) A “Change in Control ” shall mean: (A) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of either (I) the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (II) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); excluding, however, the following acquisitions of Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities: (W) any acquisition directly from the Company, (X) any acquisition by the Company, (Y) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (Z) any acquisition by any Person pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (I), (II) and (III) of subsection (C) of this definition; (B) individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to such effective date, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least -12-
a majority of directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or (C) consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (“Business Combination”); excluding, however, such a Business Combination pursuant to which (I) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then- outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (II) no Person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the -13-
corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed with respect to the Company prior to the Business Combination and (III) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or (D) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; provided, that, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, where applicable, an event described above shall be treated as a Change in Control only if it also constitutes or results in a change in ownership or control of the Company, or a change in ownership of assets of the Company, described in Section 409A. (iii) “Cause” shall mean: (A) If the Participant is party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company that contains a definition of “Cause,” that definition shall apply for purposes of the Plan. (B) Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean any (I) willful failure by the Participant, which failure is not cured within 30 days of written notice to the Participant from the Company, to perform his or her material responsibilities to the Company or (II) willful misconduct by the Participant which is materially injurious to the Company. For purposes of this definition of “Cause,” reference to the “Company” shall include the acquiror or survivor (or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor) in the applicable Change in Control. (iv) “Good Reason” shall mean: -14-
(A) If the Participant is party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company that contains a definition of “Good Reason,” that definition shall apply for purposes of the Plan. (B) Otherwise, “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s duties, authority, or responsibilities from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or any material reduction in the base compensation payable to the Participant from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or the relocation of the place of business at which the Participant is principally located to a location that is greater than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (I) the Participant gives the Company the notice of termination no more than 90 days after the initial existence of such event or circumstance, (II) such event or circumstance has not been fully corrected and the Participant has not been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of such notice and (III) the Participant’s termination of Employment occurs within six months following the Company’s receipt of such notice. For purposes of this definition of “Good Reason,” reference to the “Company” shall include the acquiror or survivor (or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor) in the applicable Change in Control. (v) “Employment” shall mean a Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries. Employment will be deemed to continue, unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity described in Section 1 to the Company or its subsidiaries. If a Participant’s employment or other service relationship is with a subsidiary of the Company and that entity ceases to be a subsidiary, the Participant’s Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be subsidiary of the Company unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining subsidiaries. -15-
(2) Effect on Awards. (i) Covered Transactions. Except as otherwise provided in an Award, the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Covered Transaction: (A) Assumption or Substitution. If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Board may provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor. (B) Cash-Out of Awards. If the Covered Transaction is one in which holders of C o m m o n Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Board may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Common Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Board determines. (C) Acceleration of Certain Awards. If the Covered Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or cash-out, each Award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, each Award of Restricted Stock will become fully vested and the delivery of shares of Common Stock deliverable under each outstanding award of RSUs, Performance Awards (to the extent consisting of RSUs) and Other Stock-Based Awards will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the Covered Transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by -16-
the Board, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a shareholder in the Covered Transaction. (D) Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction. Each Award (unless assumed or substituted pursuant to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (which shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of Common Stock, subject to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(E) below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered Transaction. (E) Additional Limitations. Any share of Common Stock delivered pursuant to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) or Section 10(b)(2)(i)(C) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Board, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Board may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Common Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Board deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan. (ii) Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control: (A) Acceleration of Options and SARs; Effect on Other Awards. If, on or prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of the Change in Control, the Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company, all Options and SARs outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is consummated and which are not then exercisable shall become exercisable to the full extent of the original grant, all shares of Restricted Stock which are not otherwise vested shall vest, and Performance Awards granted hereunder shall vest to the extent set forth in the applicable Award agreement. -17-
(B) Restriction on Application of Plan Provisions Applicable in the Event of Termination of Employment. After a Change of Control, Options and SARs granted under Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) as substitution for existing Awards shall remain exercisable following a termination of Employment (other than termination by reason of death, disability (as determined by the Company) or retirement (as defined in the Award)) for the lesser of (I) a period of seven (7) months, or (II) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could otherwise have been exercised. (C) Restriction on Amendment. In connection with or following a Change in Control, the Board may not impose additional conditions upon exercise or otherwise amend or restrict any Award, or amend the terms of the Plan in any manner adverse to the holder thereof, without the written consent of such holder. 11. General Provisions Applicable to Awards (a) Transferability of Awards. Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by a Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant; provided, however, that, except with respect to Awards subject to Section 409A, the Board may permit or provide in an Award for the gratuitous transfer of the Award by the Participant to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or other entity established for the benefit of the Participant and/or an immediate family member thereof if the Company would be eligible to use a Form S-8 under the Securities Act for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such Award to such proposed transferee; provided further, that the Company shall not be required to recognize any such permitted transfer until such time as such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11(a) shall be deemed to restrict a transfer to the Company. (b) Documentation. Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Board shall determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan. (c) Termination of Status. Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, immediately upon the cessation of a Participant’s Employment (as defined in Section -18-
10(b)(1)(v)), (i) each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, and (ii) all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that: (1) subject to (2) and (3) below, all Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment with the Company, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months and (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate; (2) all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant’s death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the Participant’s death and (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate; and (3) all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment with the Company will immediately terminate upon such cessation if the Board in its sole discretion determines that such cessation of Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award. (d) Withholding. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award. The Company may elect to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board, a Participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company); provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company) that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without material financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the -19-
Company may retain such number of shares of Common Stock (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company)) as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. (e) Amendment of Award. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(g) and 6(e), the Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The The Board may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from such acceleration. The Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless (i) the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Plan or (ii) the change is permitted under Section 10 or the foregoing sentence. (f) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously issued or delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and regulations and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.. (g) Dividend Equivalents. The Board may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions (“Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, provided that such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as the Award with respect to which they may be paid. Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements shall be established and administered consistent either with exemption from, or compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent applicable. 12. Miscellaneous (a) No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award by virtue of the adoption of the Plan, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued Employment. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award. (b) No Rights As Shareholder; Clawback. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a shareholder with -20-
respect to any shares of Common Stock to be issued with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall agree to be bound by any clawback policy the Company has adopted or may adopt in the future, or any other compensation recovery requirements that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to be applicable to an Award. (c) Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”). No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the expiration of 10 years from the Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. (d) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time provided that (i) to the extent required by Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment in the manner required by Section 162(m); (ii) no amendment that would require shareholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing may be made effective unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment; and (iii) if the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing does not have rules regarding when shareholder approval of amendments to equity compensation plans is required (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), then no amendment to the Plan (A) materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 4(c) or 10), (B) expanding the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, or (C) materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan shall be effective unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment. In addition, if at any time the approval of the Company’s shareholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval. Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance with this Section 12(d) shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided the Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan. No Award shall be made that is conditioned upon shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan unless the Award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if shareholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date of grant and (2) it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of Common Stock) prior to such shareholder approval. (e) Authorization of Sub-Plans (including for Grants to non-U.S. Employees). The Board may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions. The Board shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan containing (i) such limitations on the Board’s discretion under the Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable or (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of the -21-
Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to Participants in any jurisdiction which is not the subject of such supplement. (f) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Except as provided in individual Award agreements initially or by amendment, if and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to a Participant pursuant to the Plan in connection with his or her employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (ii) the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations the Participant (through accepting the Award) agrees that he or she is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule. The Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to the Participant or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not to satisfy the conditions of that section. (g) Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been or will be delegated, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Board’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith. (h) Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall agree that the Award is granted by the Company, with respect to Common Stock issued by the Company, and that any claim with respect to the Award may only be raised against the Company in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, regardless of whether the Participant is or was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. -22-

The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and all terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. As used herein, “State Street” means the Company and each Subsidiary. “Subsidiary” means the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. You may consider this Agreement for up to thirty (30) days from the date it was first made available to you on the Website. The terms of your Award are as follows: 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. To be entitled to any payment under this Award, you must accept your Award and in so doing agree to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Countries Addendum outlined in Appendix A (which is incorporated into, and forms a material and integral part of, this Agreement). Failure to accept this Award within thirty (30) days following the posting of this Agreement on the Website will result in forfeiture of this Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the vesting and payment date described in Section 2. The term “vest” as used herein means the lapsing of certain (but not all) restrictions described herein and in the Plan with respect to one or more Restricted Stock Units. To vest in all or any portion of this Award as of any date, you must have been continuously employed with the Company or a Subsidiary from and after the date hereof and until (and including) the applicable vesting date, except as otherwise provided herein.

This Award is subject to any forfeiture, compensation recovery or similar requirements set forth in this Agreement, as well as any other forfeiture, compensation recovery or similar requirements under applicable law and related implementing regulations and guidance, and to other forfeiture, compensation recovery or similar requirements under plans, policies and practices of the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries in effect from time to time, including those set forth in your offer letter. In the event pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any applicable law or related implementing regulations or guidance, or pursuant to any Company or its relevant Subsidiaries plans, policies or practices, the Board or State Street is required or permitted to reduce, forfeit or cancel any amount remaining to be paid, or to recover any amount previously paid, with respect to this Award, or to otherwise impose or apply restrictions on this Award or shares of Common Stock subject hereto, it shall, in its sole discretion, be authorized to do so. By accepting this Award, you consent to making payment to the Subsidiary that legally employs you (“Employer”) in the event of a compensation recovery determination by the Board or State Street. 2. Performance Targets; Board Certification; Form of Payment. Whether your Award will be paid and in what amounts will depend on achievement of average return on equity and average pre-tax margin, both as defined in the attached Exhibit I (which is incorporated into, and forms a material and integral part of, this Agreement), during the three (3) calendar years during the Performance Period, as defined in the attached Exhibit I, and the other terms and conditions as set forth herein. Payment under this Award will only be made if the Board certifies, following the close of the Performance Period, that the pre-established threshold performance targets have been met or exceeded, and then only to the extent of the level of performance so certified as having been achieved. Any portion of this Award earned by reason of the Board’s certification as described above will vest and be paid in Common Stock to you (or your Designated Beneficiary, in the case of your death) in one single installment between February 15 and March 15 of the calendar year beginning after the end of the Performance Period (unless you have been notified by the Company or any Subsidiary that you have been designated as a Risk Manager or a Senior Manager for the purposes of Article 15.17(1)(b) or (c) of the Rulebook of the UK Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”) in which case different terms and conditions relating to vesting and payment of this Award shall apply to you). The total number of shares of Common Stock to be paid will be determined by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units referred to in your Statement by the Total Vesting Percentage, as defined and set forth on the attached Exhibit I and certified by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle any vested Award in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in shares of Common Stock (1) is prohibited under local law, rules or regulations, (2) would require you, the Company or your Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (or 2
country of Employment, if different), or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) shares of Common Stock, but require you to immediately sell such shares of Common Stock (in which case, you hereby expressly authorize the Company to issue sales instructions on your behalf). 3. Identified Staff Holding Requirement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you agree and covenant that, as a condition to the receipt of this Award and the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in the form of shares of Common Stock hereunder, in the event the Company or any Subsidiary notifies you at any time before or after this Award is made that you have been designated Identified Staff for purposes of the Capital Requirements Directive IV (or any implementing or successor rule, regulation or guidance, including the rules and regulations of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”), German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (“BaFin”) or any other applicable regulatory authority), you will not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock issued and transferred to you pursuant to this Award until the date that is at least twelve (12) months for UK and State Street Bank International GmbH (“SSB Intl GmbH”) Identified Staff (or such longer period as is stipulated by the FCA, the PRA, BaFin or any other applicable regulatory authority) after the vesting date of the shares of Common Stock paid in connection with this Award (“Release Date”), except that (a) you shall be permitted to sell, prior to the Release Date, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay applicable tax and social security withholding, if any, with respect to such vesting (or, alternatively, if the Company withholds such shares pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, the requirements in this Section 3 not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares shall only apply to the number of such shares delivered to you (i.e., after such withholding of shares)), (b) transfers by will or pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution are permitted and (c) this holding requirement shall not apply to such portion of the shares of Common Stock, if any, that were awarded with respect to a period of time, as determined by the Company in its discretion, during which you were not subject to such holding requirement. Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null and void and without effect. The Company may, in its sole discretion, impose restrictions on the assignment or transfer of shares of Common Stock consistent with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, by or through the transfer agent for such shares or by means of legending Common Stock certificates or otherwise. This provision applies in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, any other holding, forfeiture and/or clawback provisions contained in this Agreement. 4. General Circumstances of Forfeiture.

Following such a determination, you agree to immediately repay such compensation, in no event later than sixty (60) days following such determination, in the form of any shares of Common Stock delivered to you previously by the Company or cash (or a combination of such shares and cash). For purposes of calculating the value of both: (i) the amount of the MC/EVP Clawback Amount determined by the Board to be recovered; and (ii) the amount of such compensation repaid, shares of Common Stock will be valued in an amount equal to the market value of the shares of Common Stock delivered to you under this Award by the Company as determined at the time of such delivery. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law and subject to Section 16 (if applicable), if you fail to comply with any requirement to repay compensation under this Section 8(b), the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, that you will satisfy your repayment obligation through an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to you.

For the avoidance of doubt and as applicable, an MC/EVP Clawback Event includes any determination by the Board that is based on circumstances prior to the date on which you cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, even if the determination by the Board occurs after such cessation of Employment. (ii) “MC/EVP Clawback Amount” means (A) with respect to an MC/EVP Clawback Event described in Section 8(c)(i)(A), the value of the shares of Common Stock, determined under Section 8(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company prior to such MC/EVP Clawback Event or (B) with respect to an MC/EVP Clawback Event described in Section 8(c)(i)(B), the value of the shares of Common Stock, determined under Section 8(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company (x) prior to an associated date designated by the Board and (y) that represents an amount that, in the sole discretion of the Board, exceeds the amount you would have been awarded under this Award had the financial statements or other applicable records of State Street been accurate (reduced, in the case of both of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), taking into account any portion of this Award that was previously recovered by the Company under Section 8(b) to avoid a greater than 100% recovery). (d) In connection with any MC/EVP Clawback Event, you hereby expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to the Equity Administrator and any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company.

(b) If, prior to the full settlement of your Award, your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan) [or on account of your Retirement], in each case, during the one- year period following a Change in Control, you shall be entitled within 30 days of such termination to receive a cash payment equal to the adjusted fair market value of a share of the Common Stock (1) multiplied by the number of units referred to in your Statement and (2) further multiplied by the Total Vesting Percentage (which shall be calculated in accordance with clause (a) above in the case of a Change in Control occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period); provided, to the extent an Award or any portion thereof constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that such Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” as that term is defined under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Code”) and Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5). For purposes of the preceding sentence, “adjusted fair market value” shall mean the higher of the (i) the highest average of the reported daily high and low prices per share of the Common Stock during the sixty (60)-day period prior to the first date of actual knowledge by the Board of the circumstances that resulted in a Change in Control, and (ii) if the Change in Control is the result of a transaction or series of transactions described in paragraph 1 or 2 of the definition of Change in Control in the Plan, the highest price per share of the Common Stock paid in such transaction or series of transactions (which in the case of a transaction described in paragraph 1 of such definition in the Plan shall be the highest price per share of the Common Stock as reflected in a Schedule 13D filed by the person having made the acquisition). For purposes of this Section 9, termination of employment shall mean a “separation from service” as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 10. Amendments to Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the specific limitations set forth in the Plan, the Board may at any time suspend or terminate any rights or obligations relating to this Award prior to the full settlement of your Award without your consent. 9
11. Shareholder Rights. You are not entitled to any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to this Award until they are transferred to you. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the issuance and transfer to you of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, you will have no right to receive dividends or amounts in lieu of dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award nor any right to vote the shares of Common Stock prior to any shares being transferred to you. 12. Withholding of Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account of other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due from you is and remains your responsibility. Furthermore, neither the Company nor your Employer (a) makes any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the grant of this Award, the vesting of this Award and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of this Award, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock delivered upon settlement of this Award, the cancellation, forfeiture or repayment of any shares of Common Stock (or cash in lieu thereof) or the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; or (b) commits to structure the terms of the grant, vesting, settlement, cancellation, forfeiture, repayment or any other aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of this Award, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items in connection with the Award, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to this Award; provided, however, that the total tax withholding cannot exceed the Employer’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion). No fractional shares of Common Stock will be withheld or issued pursuant to the issuance of Common Stock hereunder. Alternatively, the Company and/or your Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your salary, wages or other amounts payable to you, with no withholding in shares of Common Stock. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares or through your salary, wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued upon vesting of this Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or your Employer) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering any applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. If you are subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, you hereby expressly acknowledge that the Company, your 10
Employer or another Subsidiary may be required to withhold and/or account for Tax- Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting this Award, you hereby expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any Common Stock delivered in payment thereof, including the extent to which the Company or your Employer does not so-withhold shares of Common Stock and/or cash, are your sole responsibility. 13. Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Structure. This Award is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Plan in the circumstances therein described. 14. Employee Rights. Nothing in this Award shall be construed to guarantee you any right of Employment with the Company, your Employer or any Subsidiary or to limit the discretion of any of them to terminate your Employment at any time, with or without cause, to the maximum extent permitted under local law. In consideration of the grant of the Award, you acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your Employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award. By accepting this Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such claim or entitlement against the Company, your Employer and all Subsidiaries that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim. In the event your Employment ends and you are subsequently rehired by the Company or any Subsidiary, no Award previously forfeited or recovered will be reinstated. 15. Non - Transferability, Etc. This Award shall not be transferable other than (1) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (2) pursuant to the terms of a court-approved domestic relations order, official marital settlement agreement or other divorce or settlement instrument satisfactory to State Street, in its sole discretion. In the case of transfer pursuant to (2) above, this Award shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement, including vesting, forfeiture and clawback terms and conditions. Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null, void and without effect and shall render this Award itself null and void. 16. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. (a) The provisions of this Award are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and interpreted consistently therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any 11
Subsidiary shall have any liability to you or to any other person if this Award is not so exempt or compliant. (b) If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to you pursuant to the Plan in connection with your Employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) you are a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations you (through accepting this Award) agree that you are bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to you during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original deferral schedule. 17.

Each such Section is without prejudice to the provisions of the other Sections, and the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board as applicable, may elect or be required to apply any or all of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to this Award.

In granting Awards under the Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Awards and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s collection, processing and use of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee incentive compensation awards.

The Company transfers your personal data to the Equity Administrator, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different Equity Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Equity Administrator will open an account for you to track your Award and to ultimately receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and acknowledge data processing practices with the Equity Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan. (c) Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and 15
security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations. For further information about the processing of your personal data, please see the GHR Privacy Notice. * * * * * 16
Exhibit I [____] Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards o Performance Period: The three (3) calendar years commencing January 1, [____] and ending on December 31, [____]. o The number of Restricted Stock Units eligible to vest is based 50% on the three- year simple average of the return on equity (“Average ROE”) and 50% on the three-year simple average of pre-tax margin (“Average Margin”), each as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for each calendar year of the period from January 1, [___] to December 31, [___] (the “Performance Period”), adjusted to reflect events or items identified by the Board (“Calculation Adjustments”) such as (i) any formally adopted change in, or elimination or addition of, an accounting standard or principle, or any change in the interpretation thereof, whether identified as a change, error, correction or otherwise denominated, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities Exchange Commission or its staff, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or any other competent accounting or regulatory body, as determined by the Board based on objective information; (ii) any non- discretionary change in tax or bank regulatory laws, rules, final regulations or other binding interpretations or guidance issued by a competent regulatory body; (iii) any acquisition, disposition, joint venture or restructuring by the Company of a business or portion thereof, however structured in any year during the Performance Period; (iv) any merger and integration expenses in any year during the Performance Period; (v) any restructuring expenses (e.g., cost of workforce reductions, facilities or lease abandonments, asset impairments) in any year during the Performance Period; (vi) any impact (dilution and associated initial and ongoing expenses) of share buybacks (or cancellations of share buybacks) or securities issuances (debt or equity) to finance, or in contemplation of, acquisitions or ventures in any year during the Performance Period; and (vii) any settlement, charge or other payment made with respect to any litigation or regulatory matter arising from events that occurred prior to the Performance Period; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Board retains the discretionary right to disregard any Calculation Adjustment that would result in an increase to Average ROE or to Average Margin and to reduce any Award for any Performance Period for other material events or items that affect performance. o The Total Vesting Percentage will be determined by reference to the percentages listed in Tables 1 and 2 below opposite the Average ROE and Average Margin, respectively (the “Vesting Percentage”). The Vesting Percentage for the Average ROE and for the Average Margin will be determined under Tables 1 and 2, respectively, using linear interpolation to adjust between percentage points and rounding up to the nearest one-tenth of one percent, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Average ROE Vesting Percentage and the Average Margin Vesting Percentage will be added together to determine the Total Vesting Percentage. Table 1: Average ROE Vesting Percentage 17

This Countries Addendum A contains a covenant not to compete in Paragraph 5 which shall apply to you at any time that you hold the title of Executive Vice President or higher. You should review it carefully. You may consult with an attorney before accepting the Award. You may consider whether you wish to accept the Award for up to 30 days from the date it was first made available to you on the Website.

All terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan or this Award, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 1. Confidentiality. (a) You acknowledge that you have access to Confidential Information which is not generally known or made available to the general public and that such Confidential Information is the property of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their licensors, suppliers or customers. Subject to Paragraph 17, below, you agree specifically as follows, in each case whether during your Employment or following the termination thereof: (i) You will always preserve as confidential all Confidential Information, and will never use it for your own benefit or for the benefit of others; this includes that you will not use the knowledge of activities or positions in clients’ securities portfolio accounts or cash accounts for your own personal gain or for the gain of others.

State Street recognizes that certain disclosures of confidential information to appropriate government authorities or other designated persons are protected by “whistleblower” and other laws. Nothing in this Countries Addendum A is intended to or should be understood or construed to prohibit or otherwise discourage such disclosures. State Street will not tolerate any discipline or other retaliation against employees who properly make such legally-protected disclosures. 2. Assignment and Disclosure. (a) You acknowledge that, by reason of being employed by your Employer, to the extent permitted by law, all works, deliverables, products, methodologies and other work product conceived, created and/or reduced to practice by you, individually or jointly with others, during the period of your Employment by your Employer and relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or demonstrably anticipated business, products, activities, research or development of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or resulting from any work performed by you for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any track record with which you may be associated as an investment manager or fund manager (collectively, “Work Product”), that consists of copyrightable subject matter is "work made for hire" as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. § 101), and such copyrights are therefore owned, upon creation, exclusively by State Street.

Assignment. Except as provided otherwise herein, this Countries Addendum A shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any person or entity which acquires the Company or its assets or business; provided, however, that your obligations are personal and may not be assigned by you. 15.

ACCEPTING AN AWARD Your Agreement sets out the key details of your Award. To accept your grant you must expressly accept the Award within the period set out in your Agreement, and in any case no more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Board made the determination to grant the Award. 7. WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF AN AWARD? (a) What is Deferred Stock? A Deferred Stock Award represents the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company on fulfilment of the time-based vesting conditions set out in your Agreement. When your Deferred Stock vests, you will be issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock at no monetary cost to you. The Deferred Stock is considered “restricted” because it will be subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer until it vests. The restrictions will be set forth in the attached Agreement. (b) Do I have to pay any money to receive the Deferred Stock Award? No. You do not pay any monetary consideration to receive this Award, and you do not pay any monetary consideration to receive the shares of Common Stock subject to your Award upon vesting. (c) How many shares of Common Stock will I receive upon vesting of my Deferred Stock Award? Your Agreement will indicate the number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Award. (d) When do I become a Stockholder? 58
You are not a stockholder merely as a result of holding an Award, and your Award does not entitle you to vote or receive dividends, notices of meeting, proxy statements or other materials provided to stockholders until the shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon vesting. You should also refer to your Agreement for details of the consequences of a change in the nature of your Employment. (e) Can I transfer my Award to someone else? No. However, once shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon vesting, the shares will be freely tradeable and transferable. Please note, though, the possible disclosure obligations included under clause 9. 8. WHAT IS A SHARE OF STOCK IN THE COMPANY? Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian company. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for every share of Common Stock held in the Company. Dividends may be paid on the shares of Common Stock out of any funds of the Company legally available for dividends at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The shares of Common Stock are traded on the New York Common Stock Exchange and are traded under the symbol STT. Shares of Common Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions. 9. HOW CAN I OBTAIN UPDATED INDICATIVE EXAMPLES OF THE CURRENT MARKET PRICE IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS? Within a reasonable period following your request, the Company undertakes to provide you with the Australian dollar equivalent of the current market price of a share of Common Stock, (calculated as at the date of your request). The current market price for this purpose will be the final sale price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Common Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date of your request. The Australian dollar equivalent of these prices will be calculated using the Australian/U.S. dollar exchange rate published by an Australian bank on the business day immediately preceding the date of your request. Please note that the Australian dollar equivalent of these prices is only provided as information and not as a prediction of the Australian dollar equivalent of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time of vesting. The Australian dollar equivalent at these times will depend on the exchange rate applied by your bank in converting your Australian dollars to U.S. Dollars at the time of vesting. The exchange rate is available at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html 59

WHAT ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS APPLY TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Employees should consider generally the risk factors connected with investing in securities and, in particular, to holding shares of Common Stock. You should be aware that the fair market value of shares of Common Stock underlying your Award and the future value of shares of Common Stock you acquire and the Australian dollar equivalent of these values will be affected by: (a) fluctuations in the Company's performance; (b) fluctuations in the U.S.$/A$ exchange rate; (c) factors identified from time to time by the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; (d) fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks (e) general economic conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices; (f) changes to governmental fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; (g) legislation or regulation; (h) the nature of the markets in which the Company operates; and (i) general operational business risks. Please note that if you offer your shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, your offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. Please obtain legal advice on your disclosure obligations before you make any such offer. 60
11. PLAN MODIFICATION, TERMINATION, ETC. Subject to Section 9 of the U.S. Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or any part of it at any time. 12. WHAT ARE THE AUSTRALIAN TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Please see the Additional Document entitled "Employee Information Supplement – Deferred Stock Awards" for information regarding the Australian tax treatment of your Award. 13. WHAT ARE THE U.S. TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Employees (who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents) will not be subject to U.S. tax by reason only of the grant and vesting of the Deferred Stock or the sale of shares of Common Stock, except as described in the dividends section of the “Employee Information Supplement - Deferred Stock”. However, liability for U.S. taxes may accrue if an employee is otherwise subject to U.S. taxes. The above is an indication only of the likely U.S. taxation consequences for Australian resident employees receiving Awards under the Plan. Award recipients should seek their own advice as to the U.S. taxation consequences of Plan participation. 14. RESTRICTION ON CAPITAL RAISING 5% LIMIT In addition to any other limitations as identified in this Offer Document, the Plan or as prescribed by the Board from time to time under the terms of the Plan, there is an overall restriction on the number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued to Australian employees. * * * * * We urge you to carefully review the information contained in this Offer Document and the Additional Documents. If you have any questions, please contact the person listed in Section 9. Yours sincerely, State Street Corporation 61

In respect of any Award remaining to be issued and transferred to you in Common Stock or otherwise paid may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be reduced, forfeited or cancelled, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that your actions, whether discovered during or after your employment with the Employer, exposed The Business to any inappropriate risk or risks (including where you failed to timely identify, analyze, assess or raise concerns about such risk or risks, including in a supervisory capacity, where it was reasonable to expect you to do so), and such exposure has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or losses that are or would be substantial in relation to the revenues, capital and overall risk tolerance of The Business. “The Business” shall mean State Street, or, to the extent you devote substantially all of your business time to a particular business unit (e.g., Global Services Americas, Global Services International, State Street Global Exchange or State Street Sector Solutions) 4

(d) The Company may produce guidelines from time to time in respect of its operation of the provisions of this Section 6. The Company intends to apply such guidelines in deciding whether and when to effect any reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recovery of compensation but, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 6 and any such guidelines, this Section 6 shall prevail.

SSB Intl GmbH and SSGA GmbH Affordability Limitations, and Malus- Based Forfeiture and Clawback. (a) Awards issued to SSB Intl GmbH or State Street Global Advisors GmbH staff may be impacted by the financial situation of the bank and/or regulatory group, as prescribed by regulatory requirements in its applicable version (e.g. the Remuneration Ordinance for Institutions and/or German Banking Act). Awards may also be limited to the extent ordered by the competent supervisory authority according to sec. 45 para. 2 sentence 1 no. 5a, 6 German Banking Act. Further, entitlement to an Award may lapse if the competent supervisory authority issues a corresponding definitive order according to sec. 45 para. 5 sentence 5 to 8 German Banking Act. (b) In the event the Company or any Subsidiary notifies you at any time before or after this Award is made that you have been designated SSB Intl GmbH Identified Staff for purposes of the German Remuneration Ordinance, you acknowledge and agree that this Award is subject to forfeiture and clawback for a period from the date the Award is granted until two (2) years from the date that the final tranche of this Award vests. A clawback applies if you, as SSB Intl GmbH Identified Staff, (i) contributed significantly to, or was responsible for, conduct that resulted in significant losses or regulatory sanctions for SSB Intl GmbH, or (ii) is responsible for a serious breach of relevant external or internal rules on good conduct (“SSB Intl GmbH Identified Staff Clawback Event”). (c) Section 7 applies in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, any other holding, forfeiture and/or clawback provisions contained in this Agreement. 8. Management Committee/Executive Vice President Forfeiture and Clawback. (a) If, at the time the Award is made, you are a member of the State Street Corporation Management Committee or any successor committee or body (“Management Committee” or “MC”) or hold the title Executive Vice President (“EVP”) or higher, any amount remaining to be paid in respect of this Award may, in the sole 6
discretion of the Board, be reduced, forfeited or cancelled, in whole or in part, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that: (i) you engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that was materially detrimental to the interests or business reputation of State Street or any of its businesses; or (ii) you engaged in conduct that constituted a violation of State Street policies and procedures or State Street Standard of Conduct in a manner which either caused or could have caused reputational harm that is material to State Street or placed or could have placed State Street at material legal or financial risk; or (iii) as a result of a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance metrics, financial results or other criteria used in determining the amount of this Award, you would have received a smaller or no Award hereunder. (b) If, at the time the Award is made, you are a member of the Management Committee or hold the title EVP or higher, this Award also is subject to compensation recovery as provided herein. Upon the occurrence of an MC/EVP Clawback Event within three (3) years (within one (1) year for an EVP) after the date of grant of this Award, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to recover the MC/EVP Clawback Amount, in whole or in part. Following such a determination, you agree to immediately repay such compensation, in no event later than sixty (60) days following such determination, in the form of any shares of Common Stock delivered to you previously by the Company or cash (or a combination of such shares and cash). For purposes of calculating the value of both: (i) the amount of the MC/EVP Clawback Amount determined by the Board to be recovered; and (ii) the amount of such compensation repaid, shares of Common Stock will be valued in an amount equal to the market value of the Deferred Shares delivered to you under this Award by the Company as determined at the time of such delivery. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law and subject to Section 15 (if applicable), if you fail to comply with any requirement to repay compensation under this Section 8(b), the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, that you will satisfy your repayment obligation through an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to you. (c) For purposes of this Section 8: (i) “MC/EVP Clawback Event” means a determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, (A) with respect to any event or series of related events, that you engaged in fraud or willful misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that resulted in financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in the termination of your Employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries (or, following a cessation of your Employment for any other reason, such circumstances constituting grounds for termination are determined applicable) or (B) a material financial restatement or miscalculation or inaccuracy in financial results, performance metrics, or other criteria used in determining this Award by State Street occurred. For the avoidance of doubt and as applicable, 7
an MC/EVP Clawback Event includes any determination by the Board that is based on circumstances prior to the date on which you cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, even if the determination by the Board occurs after such cessation of Employment. (ii) “MC/EVP Clawback Amount” means (A) with respect to an MC/EVP Clawback Event described in Section 8(c)(i)(A), the value of the Deferred Shares, determined under Section 8(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company during the period of three (3) years (one (1) year for an EVP) immediately prior to such MC/EVP Clawback Event or (B) with respect to an MC/EVP Clawback Event described in Section 8(c)(i)(B), the value of the Deferred Shares, determined under Section 8(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company (x) during the period of three (3) years (one (1) year for an EVP) immediately prior to an associated date designated by the Board and (y) that represents an amount that, in the sole discretion of the Board, exceeds the amount you would have been awarded under this Award had the financial statements or other applicable records of State Street been accurate (reduced, in the case of both of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), taking into account any portion of this Award that was previously recovered by the Company under Section 8(b) to avoid a greater than 100% recovery). (d) In connection with any MC/EVP Clawback Event, you hereby expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to the Equity Administrator and any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company. (e) This Section 8 applies in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, any other holding, forfeiture and/or clawback provisions contained in this Agreement. 9. Acceleration of Vesting upon Certain Events. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you die while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in the event that you die after your Employment has terminated for a reason permitting continued vesting pursuant to subparagraph 4(b) above, any unvested Deferred Shares shall vest on the date of your death and the Company will issue and pay to your Designated Beneficiary within sixty (60) days of your death the value of such Deferred Shares under this Award in the form of a cash payment/issuance of shares of Common Stock. In addition, Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall cease to apply upon your death at any time provided, however, if a PRA Clawback Event, SSB Intl GmbH Identified Staff Clawback Event or an MC/EVP Clawback Event has occurred pursuant to Section 6, 7 or 8, respectively, at or prior to your death, any amount that the Board has made a determination to recover under either such Sections shall continue to be payable to the Company. (b) Subject to applicable law and regulation (including the rules and regulations of any applicable regulatory authority), if your Employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary without Cause, [or] by you for Good Reason [or on account of your Retirement], in each case, on 8
or prior to the first anniversary of a Change in Control (and provided that such Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” as that term is defined under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Code”) and U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) prior to the full settlement of your Award, the unvested portion of this Award shall vest on the date of such termination and the Company will promptly issue and pay to you within thirty (30) days of such termination any such shares of Common Stock under this Award. For purposes of this Section 9(b), termination of Employment shall mean a “separation from service” as determined in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 10. Shareholder Rights. You are not entitled to any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to this Award until they are transferred to you. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the issuance and transfer to you of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, you will have no right to receive dividends or amounts in lieu of dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award nor any right to vote the shares of Common Stock prior to any shares being transferred to you. 11. Withholding of Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account of other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due from you is and remains your responsibility. Furthermore, neither the Company nor your Employer (a) makes any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the grant of this Award, the vesting of this Award and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of this Award, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting, the cancellation, forfeiture or repayment of any shares of Common Stock (or cash in lieu thereof); or (b) commits to structure the terms of the grant, vesting, settlement, cancellation, forfeiture, repayment or any other aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of this Award, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items in connection with the Award, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to this Award; provided, however, that the total tax withholding cannot exceed the Employer’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion). No fractional shares of Common Stock will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Deferred Shares and the issuance of Common Stock hereunder. Alternatively, the Company and/or your Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your salary, wages or other amounts payable to you, with no withholding in shares of Common Stock. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares or 9
through your salary, wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued upon vesting of this Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or your Employer) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering any applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. If you are subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, you hereby expressly acknowledge that the Company, your Employer or another Subsidiary may be required to withhold and/or account for Tax- Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting this Award, you hereby expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any Common Stock delivered in payment thereof, including the extent to which the Company or your Employer does not so-withhold shares of Common Stock and/or cash, are your sole responsibility. 12. Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Structure. This Award is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Plan in the circumstances therein described. 13. Employee Rights. Nothing in this Award shall be construed to guarantee you any right of Employment with the Company, your Employer or any Subsidiary or to limit the discretion of any of them to terminate your Employment at any time, with or without cause to the maximum extent permitted under local law. In consideration of the grant of the Award, you acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your Employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award. By accepting this Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such claim or entitlement against the Company, your Employer and all Subsidiaries that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim. In the event your Employment ends and you are subsequently rehired by the Company or any Subsidiary, no Award previously forfeited or recovered will be reinstated. 14. Non-Transferability, Etc. This Award shall not be transferable other than (1) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (2) pursuant to the terms of a court-approved domestic relations order, official marital settlement agreement or other divorce or settlement instrument 10
satisfactory to State Street, in its sole discretion. In the case of transfer pursuant to (2) above, this Award shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement, including vesting, forfeiture and clawback terms and conditions. Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null, void and without effect and shall render this Award itself null and void. 15. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. (a) The provisions of this Award are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and interpreted consistently therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any liability to you or to any other person if this Award is not so exempt or compliant. (b) If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to you pursuant to the Plan in connection with your Employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) you are a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations you (through accepting this Award) agree that you are bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to you during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original deferral schedule. 16. Miscellaneous. (a) Awards Discretionary. By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, forfeited, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of this Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award, compensation or benefits in lieu of an award in the future. Future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of an award, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an award, and forfeiture, clawback and vesting provisions. (b) Company and Committee Discretion. Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement are intended to comply with and meet the requirements of applicable law and related implementing regulations regarding incentive compensation and will be interpreted and administered accordingly as well as in accordance with any 11
implementing policies and practices of the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries in effect from time to time. In making determinations under such Sections, the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board, as applicable, may take into account, in its sole discretion, all factors that it deems appropriate or relevant. Furthermore, the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board may, as applicable, take any and all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, as permitted by applicable law, to implement the intent of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, including suspension of vesting and payment pending an investigation or the determination by the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board as applicable. Each such Section is without prejudice to the provisions of the other Sections, and the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board, as applicable, may elect or be required to apply any or all of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to this Award. (c) Voluntary Participation. Your participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation, is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any, and is not part of your normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. You understand that third parties include fellow employees. Any restriction under these laws or regulations is separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.

The Company’s collection, processing and use of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee incentive 14
compensation awards. Your refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.

The Company transfers your personal data to the Equity Administrator, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

You will be asked to agree on separate terms and acknowledge data processing practices with the Equity Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan. (c) Data Retention.

When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems.

You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or your Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from you by any of the means referred to in Section 11 of the Agreement. 2. Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Deferred Shares, whether or not as a result of such termination, (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Deferred Shares. Upon the grant of your Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement. 3. Notice and Non-Compete. In consideration of your receipt of this Award, you expressly agree to comply with the terms and conditions below without regard to whether or not any amount has been forfeited, paid, delivered or repaid, under this Award at any time, including the time you separate from service with your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries. It is a condition of this Award that, if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions below, then the Company may in its absolute discretion determine that any or all of the amounts remaining to be paid under this Award should be forfeited. All terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan or the Award, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. (a) Notice Period Upon Resignation. (i) In order to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to safeguard their business interests and goodwill in the event of your resignation from Employment for any reason, you agree to give your Employer advance notice of your resignation. The duration of the advance notice you provide (the “Notice Period”) will be determined by your title at the time you deliver such notice, as follows: (1) If you are a member of the State Street Corporation Management Committee, you will give 180 days’ advance notice; and (2) If you are an Executive Vice President or higher, you will give 90 days’ advance notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notice Periods set out above shall be subject always to any contractual obligation you have to give a longer period of notice of termination of your Employment (whether such obligation is contained in your contract of Employment or any other agreement to which you are a party). (ii) During the Notice Period, you will cooperate with your Employer, as well as the Company and its Subsidiaries, and provide them with any requested information to assist with transitioning your duties, accomplishing its or their business, and/or preserving its or their client relationships. In its sole discretion, 48
during the Notice Period, your Employer or the Company may place you on a partial or complete leave of absence and relieve you of some or all of your duties and responsibilities. Except as provided otherwise in (iii) below, at all times during the Notice Period you shall continue to be an employee of your Employer, shall continue to receive your regular salary and benefits and you will continue to comply with the applicable policies of your Employer, the Company, and its Subsidiaries. However, you will not be eligible for any incentive compensation awards made on or after the first day of the Notice Period or to accrue any vacation save as required by statute. (iii) In its sole discretion, at any time during the Notice Period, the Company or your Employer may release you from your obligations under this Paragraph (a) by giving immediate effect to your resignation and making a payment of basic salary in lieu of any notice due; provided that such action shall not affect your other obligations under this Countries Addendum. (b) Non-Competition. (i) This Paragraph (b) shall apply to you at any time that you hold the title of Executive Vice President or higher and following the termination of your Employment where you held the title of Executive Vice President or higher immediately prior to such termination. (ii) During your Employment and for the 12 months following its termination for any reason, you will not within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, director, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co- venturer or otherwise and whether alone or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other person: (1) become engaged, employed, concerned or interested in or provide technical, commercial or professional advice to, any Person which supplies or provides (or intends to supply or provide) Products or Services in competition with such parts of the business of the Employer or any Relevant Group Company with which you were materially engaged or involved or for which you were responsible during the Relevant Period; (2) compete with your Employer or any Relevant Group Company, or undertake any planning for any business competitive with the business of your Employer or any Relevant Group Company; (3) engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive or potentially competitive with the business of your Employer, or any Relevant Group Company as conducted or under consideration during the Relevant Period and further agree not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of your Employer or any Relevant Group Company, as conducted or in planning during the Relevant Period. (iii) The period of 12 months referred to in Paragraph (b)(ii) above will be reduced by one day for every day during which, at the Employer’s direction, you are on a complete leave of absence pursuant to Paragraph 3(a)(ii) above. 49
(iv) Nothing in this Paragraph (b) shall prevent your ownership for investment purposes only of shares or other securities of two percent (2%) or less of the total issued capital of any company whether or not its securities are publicly traded.

Terms defined in the U.S. Plan and the Australian Addendum have the same meaning in this Offer Document. 1. OFFER This is an Offer of Deferred Stock, as may be granted from time to time in accordance with the Plan by the Company to selected eligible employees of Australian Affiliates.

ACCEPTING AN AWARD Your Agreement sets out the key details of your Award. To accept your grant you must expressly accept the Award within the period set out in your Agreement, and in any case no more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Board made the determination to grant the Award. 7. WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF AN AWARD? (a) What is Deferred Stock? A Deferred Stock Award represents the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company on fulfilment of the time-based vesting conditions set out in your Agreement. When your Deferred Stock vests, you will be issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock at no monetary cost to you. The Deferred Stock is considered “restricted” because it will be subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer until it vests. The restrictions will be set forth in the attached Agreement. (b) Do I have to pay any money to receive the Deferred Stock Award? No. You do not pay any monetary consideration to receive this Award, and you do not pay any monetary consideration to receive the shares of Common Stock subject to your Award upon vesting. 55
(c) How many shares of Common Stock will I receive upon vesting of my Deferred Stock Award? Your Agreement will indicate the number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Award. (d) When do I become a Stockholder? You are not a stockholder merely as a result of holding an Award, and your Award does not entitle you to vote or receive dividends, notices of meeting, proxy statements or other materials provided to stockholders until the shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon vesting. You should also refer to your Agreement for details of the consequences of a change in the nature of your Employment. (e) Can I transfer my Award to someone else? No. However, once shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon vesting, the shares will be freely tradeable and transferable. Please note, though, the possible disclosure obligations included under clause 9. 8. WHAT IS A SHARE OF STOCK IN THE COMPANY? Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian company. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for every share of Common Stock held in the Company. Dividends may be paid on the shares of Common Stock out of any funds of the Company legally available for dividends at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The shares of Common Stock are traded on the New York Common Stock Exchange and are traded under the symbol STT. Shares of Common Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions. 9. HOW CAN I OBTAIN UPDATED INDICATIVE EXAMPLES OF THE CURRENT MARKET PRICE IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS? Within a reasonable period following your request, the Company undertakes to provide you with the Australian dollar equivalent of the current market price of a share of Common Stock, (calculated as at the date of your request). The current market price for this purpose will be the final sale price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Common Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date of your request. The Australian dollar equivalent of these prices will be calculated using the Australian/U.S. dollar exchange rate published by an Australian bank on the business day immediately preceding the date of your request. Please note that the Australian dollar equivalent of these prices is only provided as information and not as a prediction 56
of the Australian dollar equivalent of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time of vesting. The Australian dollar equivalent at these times will depend on the exchange rate applied by your bank in converting your Australian dollars to U.S. Dollars at the time of vesting. The exchange rate is available at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html You should direct your request to: Name: John T. Sheehan Title: Compensation Consultant, Global Benefits & Equity Australian Affiliate means State Street Australia Limited; State Street Global Advisors Australia; State Street Bank and Trust Company – Sydney Branch and any other Associated Body Corporate employing Employees in Australia. Address: State Street Financial Center, 1 Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02116, USA Phone: +1 ###-###-#### Email: ***@*** 10. WHAT ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS APPLY TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Employees should consider generally the risk factors connected with investing in securities and, in particular, to holding shares of Common Stock. You should be aware that the fair market value of shares of Common Stock underlying your Award and the future value of shares of Common Stock you acquire and the Australian dollar equivalent of these values will be affected by: (a) fluctuations in the Company's performance; (b) fluctuations in the U.S.$/A$ exchange rate; (c) factors identified from time to time by the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; (d) fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks (e) general economic conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices; (f) changes to governmental fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; (g) legislation or regulation; (h) the nature of the markets in which the Company operates; and (i) general operational business risks. 57
Please note that if you offer your shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, your offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. Please obtain legal advice on your disclosure obligations before you make any such offer. 11. PLAN MODIFICATION, TERMINATION, ETC. Subject to Section 9 of the U.S. Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or any part of it at any time. 12. WHAT ARE THE AUSTRALIAN TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Please see the Additional Document entitled "Employee Information Supplement – Deferred Stock Awards" for information regarding the Australian tax treatment of your Award. 13. WHAT ARE THE U.S. TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN? Employees (who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents) will not be subject to U.S. tax by reason only of the grant and vesting of the Deferred Stock or the sale of shares of Common Stock, except as described in the dividends section of the “Employee Information Supplement - Deferred Stock”. However, liability for U.S. taxes may accrue if an employee is otherwise subject to U.S. taxes. The above is an indication only of the likely U.S. taxation consequences for Australian resident employees receiving Awards under the Plan. Award recipients should seek their own advice as to the U.S. taxation consequences of Plan participation. 14. RESTRICTION ON CAPITAL RAISING 5% LIMIT In addition to any other limitations as identified in this Offer Document, the Plan or as prescribed by the Board from time to time under the terms of the Plan, there is an overall restriction on the number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued to Australian employees. * * * * * We urge you to carefully review the information contained in this Offer Document and the Additional Documents. If you have any questions, please contact the person listed in Section 9. Yours sincerely, State Street Corporation 58
