Such additional restrictions shall be included in the applicable Eligible Employee’s summary of the plan terms and shall be given full force and effect.

3.9	Rehire. No Award that was forfeited shall be reinstated in the event a Participant who has a Separation from Service is subsequently rehired.

3.10

Certain Tax Matters. As determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole and exclusive discretion, the amount of the Award (including credited interest) that vests may be reduced (and that amount distributed to the Employer) at the time of such vesting or thereafter up to the time of payment, by required tax or similar withholdings in a manner consistent with the provisions of Code Section 409A. The distribution of any vested portion of an Award subject to Section 409A of the Code will not be accelerated or deferred unless specifically permitted or required under Section 409A of the Code. Solely to the extent that a distribution in connection with an Award subject to Section 409A of the Code is otherwise provided for under the terms of this Plan or any Award as a result of a “Separation from Service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code and the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A, any distribution due before six months and one day after such “Separation from Service” shall be delayed until the date that is six months and one day after such “Separation from Service”. In any event, State Street Corporation makes no representations or warranty and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person, if any provisions of or payments under this Plan are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but not to satisfy the conditions of that section.

3.11

Distribution of Taxable Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of a Participant’s Award is determined by the Plan Administrator to be includible, by reason of Section 409A of the Code, in a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s income, such portion shall be paid by the Employer (or by the Employers, on an allocated basis determined by the Plan Administrator) to such Participant or Beneficiary.

ARTICLE IV

Administration of Plan

4.1

Plan Administrator. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, the Plan Administrator shall be the Executive Vice President-Global Human Resources as from time to time in office, and his or her delegates, and the Senior Vice President of Global Human Resources Compensation and Benefits-. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan, including decisions regarding any claim for benefits under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously. However, no individual acting, directly or by delegation, as the Plan Administrator may determine his or her own rights or entitlements under the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures, maintain such records and prepare such reports as it considers to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.

4.2

Outside Services. The Plan Administrator may engage counsel and such clerical, financial, investment, accounting, and other specialized services as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or appropriate in the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon any opinions, reports, or other advice furnished by counsel or other specialists engaged for that purpose and, in so relying, shall be fully protected in any action, determination, or omission made in good faith.

4.3

Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law and not prohibited by its charter and by-laws, State Street Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless every person serving (directly or by delegation) as Plan Administrator and the estate of such an individual if he or she is deceased from and against all claims, loss, damages, liability and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in carrying out his or her responsibilities as Plan Administrator, unless due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such individual; provided, that counsel fees and amounts paid in settlement must be approved by State Street Corporation; and further provided, that this Section 4.3 will not apply to any claims, loss, damages, liability or costs and expenses which are covered by a liability insurance policy maintained by State Street Corporation or by the individual. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply to any corporate trustee, insurance company, investment manager or outside service provider (or to any employee of any of the foregoing) unless the Company otherwise specifies in writing.

ARTICLE V

Amendment, Modification and Termination

5.1	Amendment; Termination. By action of the Committee or its delegate, the Company reserves the absolute right at any time and from time to time to amend any or all provisions of the Plan, and to terminate the Plan at any time. In addition, the Plan

-6-

Administrator shall have the right at any time and from time to time to make amendments to the Plan (in general or with respect to one or more individual Participants or Beneficiaries) that do not materially increase the financial obligations of the Company.

5.2

Modification of Plan Terms. For application of the issuance of Awards outside of the United States, this Plan may be amended in the sole discretion of an Employer (with respect to an Eligible Employee of the Employer), the Plan Administrator or Committee to ensure compliance with local laws and administrative issues.

5.3

Effect of Amendment or Termination. No action under Section 5.1 shall operate to reduce the balance of a Participant’s Award compared to such balance immediately prior to the effectiveness of such action, other than through a distribution upon a termination and liquidation of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Regs. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)).

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous Provisions

6.1

Source of Payments. All payments hereunder to Participants and their Beneficiaries shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer, including for this purpose, if the Employer in its sole discretion so determines, assets of one or more trusts established to assist in the payment of benefits hereunder.

6.2	No Warranties. Neither the Plan Administrator nor any Employer warrants or represents in any way that the value of a Participant’s Award will increase or not decrease other than the interest that is applied.

6.3	Inalienability of Benefits. Except as required by law, no benefit under, or interest in, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void.

6.4

Reclassification of Employment Status. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an individual who is not characterized or treated as a common law employee by an Employer shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan notwithstanding any determination of employee status by the Internal Revenue Service, a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

6.5	Expenses. The Employer shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in operating and administering the Plan.

6.6	Enforceability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

-7-

6.7	No Right of Employment. Nothing contained herein, or any action taken under the provisions hereof, shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer.

6.8	Headings. The headings of the sections in the Plan are placed herein for convenience of reference, and, in the case of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such heading, shall control.

6.9	Construction. The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and applicable federal laws.
