CONFIDENTIAL
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT by and between State Street Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the
“Company”), and (the “Executive”), dated as of the day
of , ___.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued
dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of
Control (as defined in Section 3) of the Company. The Board believes that it is imperative to
diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and
risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive’s full
attention and dedication to the Company Group (as defined in Section 2) currently and in the
event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with
compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the
compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be addressed appropriately.
Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board caused the Company to enter into
this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Sections 5 and 6, the terms described in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) shall have the meanings set
forth therein:
(a) The “Effective Date” shall mean the first date during the Change of
Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control occurs. Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the
Executive’s employment with the Company Group is terminated prior to the date on which the
Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such
termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably
calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation
of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean
the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
(b) The “Change of Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on December 31, 2018; provided, however, that commencing on
December 31, 2017, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual
anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), unless previously
terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate two
years from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company
shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended.
(c) The “Company Group” shall mean the Company and any company
controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.
2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 of the Company (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”); provided, however, that for
purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of
Control: (A) any acquisition directly from the Company, (B) any acquisition by the Company,
(C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by
the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or (D) any acquisition by any
corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of
subsection (c) of this Section 2; or
(b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election,
or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though
such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened
election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
(c) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business
Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of
the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more
than 50% of, respectively, the then-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 (excluding any corporation
resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly, 25% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock
of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of
the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such
ownership existed 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) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

3. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in the
employ of the Company Group, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the
Company Group, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date
(the “Employment Period”).
4. Terms of Employment. (a) Position and Duties. (i) During the Employment Period,
(A) the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with
the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period
immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive’s services shall be performed at
the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any
office or location less than 35 miles from such location.
(ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of
vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote
reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the
Company Group and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and
efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of
this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions
and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere
with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company Group
in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that
any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the
continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope
thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the
performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company Group.
(b) Compensation. (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall receive an annual base salary (“Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid at a
monthly rate, at least equal to 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable,
including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the
Company Group in respect of the 12-month period immediately preceding the month in which
the Effective Date occurs. Such Annual Base Salary shall be payable as earned in equal
installments, no less frequently than monthly, pursuant to the Company Group’s customary
payroll policies applicable to the Executive in force at the time of payment, less any required or
authorized payroll deductions, and unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of a
portion of such Annual Base Salary in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). During the Employment Period, the Annual Base
Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary increase awarded to the
Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at least annually. Any increase in Annual
Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this
Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term
“Annual Base Salary” as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so
increased.

(ii) Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Executive
shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus
(the “Annual Bonus”) in cash at least equal to the target bonus amount applicable to the
Executive under the Company’s Senior Executive Annual Incentive Plan or any successor plan
for the year in which the Effective Date occurs (the “Target Bonus Amount”). Each such Annual
Bonus shall be paid no later than March 15th of the year succeeding the year for which the
Annual Bonus is earned, unless the Executive shall elect to defer receipt of such Annual Bonus
in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement
plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the
Company Group, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the
Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special
incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings
opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate,
than the most favorable of those provided by the Company Group for the Executive under such
plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period
immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided
generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company Group in
the country in which the Executive is employed. To the extent applicable, the benefits provided
to the Executive pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii) shall be provided and paid in compliance with
the relevant requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the
Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in
and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs
provided by the Company Group (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental,
disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and
programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company Group, but
in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive and/or the
Executive’s family with benefits that are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable
of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the
120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive,
those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the
Company Group in the country in which the Executive is employed. To the extent applicable,
the benefits provided to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family pursuant to this
Section 4(b)(iv) shall be provided and paid in compliance with the relevant requirements of
Section 409A of the Code.
(v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive
in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company Group
in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the
Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter
with respect to other peer executives of the Company Group in the country in which the
Executive is employed. Reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable after a request for
reimbursement is received by the Company Group, but in no event later than the last day of the

(vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to fringe benefits, including, without limitation, if applicable, use of an
automobile and payment of related expenses, in accordance with the most favorable plans,
practices, programs and policies of the Company Group in effect for the Executive at any time
during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the
Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of
the Company Group in the country in which the Executive is employed. Reimbursements or
payments shall be made as soon as practicable after a request for reimbursement or payments is
received by the Company Group, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year next
following the calendar year in which such expense was incurred; provided that the amount of any
fringe benefits to be reimbursed or paid by the Company Group in one year shall not affect any
fringe benefits to be reimbursed or paid by the Company Group in any other calendar year.
(vii) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other
appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the
most favorable of the foregoing provided to the Executive by the Company Group at any time
during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the
Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of
the Company Group in the country in which the Executive is employed.
(viii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and
practices of the Company Group as in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day
period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in
effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company
Group in the country in which the Executive is employed.
5. Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms
“terminate,” “terminated” and “termination” mean a termination of the Executive’s employment
that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of the default rules set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that for purposes of
determining which entities are treated as a single “service recipient” with the Company, the
phrase “at least 80 percent” shall be retained in each place it appears in Sections 1563(a)(1),
(2) and (3) of the Code and Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations, as permitted under
Section 1.409A-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations; and provided further that in the event that
the Executive is absent from work due to any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for [a continuous
period of not less than six months] [for Hong Kong employees: the foreseeable future, and no
reasonable accommodation can be made to facilitate a return to work] (an “Impairment”), where
such Impairment causes the Executive to be unable to perform the duties of his position or any
substantially similar position of employment, the Executive shall incur a separation from service
29 months after the date on which the Executive was first Impaired.
(a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company
determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the
Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the
Executive written notice in accordance with Section 14(b) of its intention to terminate the
Information Classification: Limited Access
6
Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company Group
shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the
“Disability Effective Date”); provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive
shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties
with the Company Group on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive days as a result of incapacity
due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal
representative.
(b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during
the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
(i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company Group (other than any such failure
resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief
Executive Officer believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s
duties; or
(ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross
misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.
For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be
considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or
without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the
Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or
a senior officer of the Company who is a member of the Company’s executive management
committee or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed
to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the
Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is
provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be
heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is
guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars
thereof in detail.
(c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the
Executive for Good Reason during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Good Reason” shall mean:
(i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent in
any respect with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting
requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4(a), or any other
action by the Company Group which results in a material diminution in such position, authority,
duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent
Information Classification: Limited Access
7
action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company Group promptly after
receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;
(ii) any failure by the Company Group to comply with any of the
provisions of Section 4(b), other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not
occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
thereof given by the Executive;
(iii) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or
location other than as provided in Section 4(a)(i)(B) or the Company’s requiring the Executive to
travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to
the Effective Date;
(iv) any purported termination by the Company Group of the Executive’s
employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or
(v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 13(c).
For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by
the Executive shall be conclusive.
(d) Resignation without Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, following the Effective Date, the Executive may, voluntarily,
terminate his employment without Good Reason during the Employment Period.
(e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by
the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto given in accordance with Section 14(b). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in
this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment
under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5(f)) is
other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be
not more than 30 days [for Hong Kong employees: and not less than 7 days] after the giving of
such notice [for Hong Kong employees: in all cases other than termination for cause or the death
of the Executive]). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of
Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause
shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude
the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in
enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
(f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, [or by the Executive for Good Reason,]
the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case
may be; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or
Disability, [for Hong Kong employees: or by the Executive for Good Reason,] the Date of
Termination shall be [for Hong Kong employees: 7 days after] the date on which the Company
notifies the Executive of such termination [for Hong Kong employees: (unless payment in lieu of
notice is made]; and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or
Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. (a) Good Reason; Other Than for
Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the
Executive’s employment other than for Cause, death or Disability or the Executive shall
terminate employment for Good Reason:

and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current
fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is
365 and (4) any accrued vacation pay, to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum
of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) shall be hereinafter
referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and
(B) the amount equal to the product of (1) two and (2) the sum of (x) the
Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (y) the Target Bonus Amount; provided
that any amount payable to the Executive pursuant to this clause (B) shall not
exceed $10,000,000 (ten million dollars) (“Base and Bonus Cap”) and all rights
to any amount payable under this subparagraph 7(i)(B) exceeding the Base and
Bonus Cap shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no further rights or
entitlement to the amounts payable under this subparagraph 7(i)(B) that exceed
the Base and Bonus Cap; and
(C) the amount equal to the product of (1) two and (2) an amount equal to
the sum of any Company Group contributions allocated to the Executive under

(ii) for two years after the Date of Termination, or such longer period as

shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to those
which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and
policies described in Section 4(b)(iv) if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated or,
if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company Group and their families in the country in which the
Executive is employed on the same basis as in effect prior to the Date of Termination; provided,
however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to
Information Classification: Limited Access
9
receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and
other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other
plan during such applicable period of eligibility; provided further that to the extent necessary to
avoid the imposition of additional taxes, penalties and interest under Section 409A of the Code,
any reimbursements of expenses pursuant to this Section 6(a)(ii) shall be made on or before the
last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such expense was
incurred. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits)

Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until two years after the Date of
Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period; and
(iii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the
Executive with reasonable outplacement services, the scope and provider of which shall be

obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment
of Accrued Obligations, the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits, and immediate
vesting, as of the Date of Termination and to the extent not theretofore vested, of the Executive’s
benefits under the Supplemental Savings Plan and the ESRP. The Accrued Obligations shall be
paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within [30
days] [for Hong Kong employees: 7 days] after the Date of Termination. With respect to the

Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(c) shall include, and the Executive
shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least
equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company Group to disabled
executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies
relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their
families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if
more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter

provided by the Company Group and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to
Section 14(g), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
have under any contract or agreement with the Company Group, including, without limitation,
the ESRP; provided, however, that, following the Effective Date, the severance provisions of this
Agreement shall supersede any Company severance pay plan in which the Executive may
otherwise participate. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise
entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement
with the Company Group at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in
accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as
explicitly modified by this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such
modifications made by this Agreement shall comply with, and shall be effected and
implemented, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Anything in the
ESRP to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Employment Period: (I) Section 7.1
(Amendments) thereof shall be inapplicable to the Executive to the extent such amendment
reduces the accrued benefit or contribution rate or otherwise adversely affects the right of the
Executive to accrue an ESRP benefit; and (II) Section 3.6 (Forfeitures) thereof shall be
inapplicable to the Executive in connection with any termination of employment (other than for
Cause (as defined under this Agreement)).

8. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in
this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company
may have against the Executive or others, except as required by applicable law or regulation. In
no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by
way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this
Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other
employment. Furthermore, the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company payment
in respect of all direct and indirect damages as a result of any material breach by the Company of
this Agreement. From the date hereof until the 20th anniversary of the later of (i) the Date of
Termination and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, the Company agrees to pay as incurred, to
the full extent permitted by law, any legal fees and/or expenses which the Executive may
reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company,
the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, or breach by the
Company of, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof
(including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant
to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code; provided, however, that payment of legal
fees and/or expenses shall not be provided to the Executive later than the last day of the second
calendar year in which the relevant fees or expenses were incurred; provided, further, that the
amount of any legal fees and/or expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the Executive during
a calendar year shall not affect any legal fees and/or expenses to be paid by the Company on
behalf of the Executive in any other calendar year.
9. Application of Section 4999 of the Code. (a) This Section 9 shall apply, in the
event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company Group to or for the
benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (the “Payments”) could reasonably be expected to be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are
incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”).
(b) If it shall be determined that the Parachute Value of the Payments (as
defined below) is equal to or less than 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below), then
the amount of the Payments otherwise due to, or for the benefit of, the Executive shall be
reduced to the extent necessary, and in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the
Code, to assure that the Parachute Value of the Payments, as calculated for the Payments
remaining after such reduction, does not exceed the Safe Harbor Amount (a “Cutback”). To the
extent any such reduction to the Executive’s Payments becomes necessary by reason of the
preceding sentence; the reduction shall be applied by (x) reducing the cash payments and
benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement in the following order: Section 6(i)(B),
Section 6(i)(C) and then, if applicable, Section 6(i)(D),or (y) an order of reduction specified by
the Executive; provided, however, that the Executive’s right to specify the order of reduction of
the payments or benefits shall apply only to the extent that it does not directly or indirectly alter
the time or method of payment of any amount that is deferred compensation subject to Section
409A. For the purposes of this Section 9, (i) “Parachute Value of the Payments” shall mean the
present value, as of the Effective Date, for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of the portion
of such Payments that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2), as
Information Classification: Limited Access
12
determined by the Accounting Firm (as defined in Section 9(c)) for purposes of determining
whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payments, and (ii) “Safe Harbor
Amount” shall mean the maximum Parachute Value of the Payments that the Executive can
receive without any Payments being subject to the Excise Tax.
(c) If it shall be determined that the Parachute Value of the Payments is
greater than 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount, then the value of the Payments to be made to the
Executive shall be either (i) subject to a Cutback or (ii) delivered in full, whichever of the
foregoing results in the receipt by the Executive of the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis
(taking into account the Executive’s actual marginal rate of federal, state and local income
taxation and the Excise Tax).
(d) All determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including
whether and when a Cutback is required and the amount of such Cutback and the assumptions to
be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ernst & Young LLP or such other
nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive
(the “Accounting Firm”); provided that such Accounting Firm shall be independent of the
Executive. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the
individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another
independent nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required
hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder).
All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.
The Accounting Firm shall make the determinations required under this Section 9 on a
preliminary basis and provide to both the Company and the Executive the detailed supporting
calculations on an initial basis, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the making of any
Payment, but in no event later than 10 days prior to the Effective Date. Thereafter, the
Accounting Firm shall timely make any further determinations as may be required under this
Section 9 and provide to both the Company and the Executive additional detailed supporting
calculations as necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 9. If, as a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
preliminary or a subsequent determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, amounts that
should have been subject to a Cutback were instead paid or provided to the Executive
(“Overpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder, then, in the
event that the Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax solely as a result of an
Overpayment, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has
occurred and the Company shall indemnify the Executive for any damages, including, without
limitation, the Excise Tax, and costs incurred by him resulting from any Overpayment. Any
amounts payable by the Company or any other member of the Company Group to the Executive
as a result of the Company’s indemnification obligations as provided for in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be paid no later than the last day of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Executive remits the related taxes.
10. Confidential Information; Restriction on Solicitation of Employees and Clients.
By and in consideration of the compensation and benefits provided for by the Company under
this Agreement, including the severance arrangements set forth herein, the Executive agrees that:
(a) The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the
Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company
Information Classification: Limited Access
13
Group, and the respective businesses of the members of the Company Group and their Clients (as
defined below), which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s
employment by the Company Group and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other
than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement).
After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the Executive shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or
legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other
than the Company and those designated by it. For the purposes of this Section 10, the term
“Client” means any person or entity that is a customer or client of any member of the Company
Group.
(b) During the term of employment of the Executive and following the
termination thereof, the Executive shall not make any false, disparaging, or derogatory
statements to any media outlet (including, but not limited to, Internet-based chat rooms, message
boards, any and all social media, and/or web pages), industry group or financial institution, or to
any current, former or prospective employee, consultant or Client of the Company or its
subsidiaries regarding the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents, or representatives, or about the business affairs and financial condition of the
Company or its subsidiaries.
(c) During the term of employment of the Executive and following the
termination thereof, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company with respect to any matters
arising during or related to the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, including but
not limited to any litigation, governmental investigation, or regulatory or other proceeding which
may have arisen as of or which may arise following the execution of this Agreement. The
Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket and properly
documented expenses the Executive incurs in connection with such cooperation.
(d) During the term of employment of the Executive and during the
Nonsolicitation Period (as defined below), the Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company, solicit, directly or indirectly (other than through a general solicitation
of employment not specifically directed to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries), the
employment of any person who within the previous 12 months was an officer of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 10, the term “Nonsolicitation Period” means
the period beginning on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment with the
Company Group (the “Termination Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) [18 months after the
Termination Date] [for Hong Kong employees: 6 months after the Termination Date and for a
further 6 month period after that initial period] and (ii) [one year after the Effective Date (if any)]
[for Hong Kong employees: 6 months after the Effective Date (if any) and for a further 6 month
period after that initial period]. If the Executive violates a restriction to which the
Nonsolicitation Period applies under this Section 10(d) or 10(e), then the the Nonsolicitation
Period shall be extended, with respect only to the restriction violated by the Executive, by the
amount of time for which the Executive was out of compliance with such restriction.
(e) During the term of employment of the Executive and during the
Nonsolicitation Period, the Executive shall not, without the prior consent of the Company,
[directly or indirectly,] engage in the Solicitation of Business (as defined below) from any Client
on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company and its subsidiaries. For the purposes
of this Section 10(c), the term “Solicitation of Business” shall mean the attempt through direct
Information Classification: Limited Access
14
personal contact on the part of the Executive with a Client with whom the Executive has had
significant personal contact while serving in a Line-Function Capacity (as defined below) during
his period of employment to [solicit or] induce such Client to transfer its business relationship [in
whole or in part] from the Company and its subsidiaries to any other person or entity. The term
“Line-Function Capacity” means service to the Company and its subsidiaries in a primary
capacity other than a staff function, in which the Executive has direct and regular contact with
Clients and responsibility for managing the business relationship of the Company and its
subsidiaries with such Clients. During the Nonsolicitation Period, the Executive may accept
employment with or enter into a business relationship with a person or entity that has or seeks to
establish business relationships with one or more Clients provided that the Executive does not
engage in the Solicitation of Business from such Clients and does not disclose confidential
information concerning such Client and its relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries to
any such person or entity.
(f) In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 10
constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive
under this Agreement.
(g) This Section 10 shall be effective from and after the date of this
Agreement notwithstanding that an Effective Date has not occurred, and the restrictions and
covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall be in addition to, and shall not supersede, any
restrictions or covenants to which the Executive may be subject pursuant to other plans,
programs or agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, the nonsolicitation and
noncompetition provisions contained in Section 3.6 of the ESRP (except to the extent
specifically provided otherwise in Section 7 of this Agreement).
(h) The provisions contained in this Section 10 are necessary to the protection
of the Company’s business and good will, and are material and integral to the undertakings of the
Company under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the Company and its subsidiaries
will be irreparably harmed in the event such provisions are not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or are otherwise breached by the Executive. Accordingly, if the Executive
fails to comply with such provisions, the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be entitled to
injunctive or other equitable relief or remedy in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other relief or
remedy at law to which it or they may be entitled hereunder in order to protect its or their
legitimate business interests. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company or any of its
subsidiaries shall, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the
provisions of this Section 10, in addition to such other remedies as may be available, be entitled
to specific performance and injunctive relief without posting a bond. The Executive hereby
waives the adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief.
(i) No delay or waiver by the Company in exercising any right under this
Section 10 shall operate as a waiver of that right or of any other right. Any waiver or consent as
to any of the provisions herein provided by the Company must be in writing, is effective only in
that instance, and may not be construed as a broader waiver of rights or as a bar to enforcement
of the provision(s) at issue on any other occasion.
(j) The restrictions and covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall be
construed and interpreted in any judicial or other adjudicatory proceeding to permit their
enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law, and each such provision is severable and
Information Classification: Limited Access
15
independently enforceable without reference to the enforcement of any other provision. If any
restriction set forth in this Section 10 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of
activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the
maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable.
11. Section 409A of the Code. (a) This Agreement is intended to satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to amounts subject thereto and shall be
interpreted and construed and shall be performed by the parties consistent with such intent, and
the Company shall not accelerate any payment or the provision of any benefits under this
Agreement or to make or provide any such payment or benefits if such payment or provision of
such benefits would, as a result, be subject to tax under Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, no reimbursement payable
to the Executive pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or
arrangement of the Company covered by this Agreement shall be paid later than the last day of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred, and no
such reimbursement during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement
in any other calendar year, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does
not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
To the extent providing for deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, any payments or benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon a termination of
employment shall be paid no earlier than the date on which the Executive incurs a “separation
from service” as set forth in Section 5.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive is a
“specified employee,” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, as determined under the
Company’s established methodology for determining specified employees, on the date on which
the Executive separates from service, any payment hereunder (including any provision of
continued benefits) that provides for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code (the “Delayed Payment Amounts”) shall not be paid or commence to
be paid on any date prior to the first business day after the date that is six months following the
Executive’s Date of Termination; provided, however, that payment of the Delayed Payment
Amounts shall commence within 30 days of the Executive’s death in the event of his death prior
to the end of the six-month period. The Delayed Payment Amounts shall earn interest at the
prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the Date of Termination until the date that
payment of such amounts to the Executive or his legal representatives is completed pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
12. Statement of Benefits. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Company
shall provide in writing to the Executive a reasonable, good faith estimate of the payments and
benefits to which the Executive would be entitled in the event of a termination of his
employment pursuant to Section 6(a), assuming that the Effective Date is the Date of
Termination.
13. Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior
written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will
Information Classification: Limited Access
16
or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns.
(c) This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company, other than to a
member of the Company Group, without the written consent of the Executive, and the Company
will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. In the event
that the Company obtains the express assumption and agreement to perform this Agreement as
contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Executive agrees that his execution of this
Agreement shall serve as his written consent in such circumstance. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.
14. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without reference to
principles of conflict of laws. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than
by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal
representatives.
(b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and

Attention: Chief Legal Officer
or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith. For purposes of this Agreement, notice and communications shall be effective (i) on
the date of delivery, with respect to hand delivery, or (ii) when posted with respect to email or
private overnight delivery, except with respect to a Notice of Termination, which shall be
effective when actually received by the addressee, with respect to any form of delivery.
(c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(d) The headings of sections herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, and section, paragraph and subparagraph references in this Agreement, unless

otherwise specified, refer to the applicable section, paragraph or subparagraph of this
Agreement. In addition, for the purposes of this Agreement, references to statutes and
regulations shall be deemed to include any amended, modified or successor statutes or
regulations.
(e) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this
Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant
to any applicable law or regulation and all other authorized deductions.
(f) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance
with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the
Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to
terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) - (v), shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
(g) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may
otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and any
member of the Company Group, the employment of the Executive by the Company Group is “at
will” and, subject to Section 1(a), prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s employment and/or
this Agreement may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time prior to
the Effective Date, in which case the Executive shall have no further rights under this
Agreement.
(h) This Agreement sets forth all of the promises, agreements, conditions and
understandings between the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior negotiations, conversations, discussions, correspondence, memoranda and agreements
between the parties concerning such subject matter. From and after the Effective Date, this
Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. [For Xx. Xxxxxxxx: Further, this Agreement is to be read in conjunction with your
individual contract of employment. In the event that there is any inconsistency between any of
the terms of this Agreement and those set out in your contract of employment, the terms of this
Agreement which are inconsistent shall prevail.]
(i) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile signatures shall be deemed
originals, and the parties agree to exchange original signatures as promptly as possible following
execution of this Agreement.
The Executive acknowledges that he is entering into this Agreement of his own
free will and accord, and with no duress, that he has read this Agreement and that he understands
it and its legal consequences.
