      June 22, 2021    Francisco Aristeguieta    Dear Francisco:    In connection with your relocation to the United States, I am pleased to offer you  employment with State Street Bank and Trust Company (together with its parent, State Street  Corporation, and its or their direct and indirect subsidiaries “State Street” or the “Company”).  This letter and the documents attached to it, including the Restrictive Covenant Agreement  attached as Appendix A, contain the Company’s offer of employment to you (the “Offer of  Employment”).    To accept this Offer of Employment, please sign and date one copy of this document and  return it by either e-mailing a scanned copy or faxing a copy to me. The acceptance must be  received no later than 5 business days from the date reflected above or the offer will expire  and be of no further force or effect. Your expected relocation date is July 1, 2021. Please  retain a copy of this Offer of Employment for your records.    General Terms    Position Details    You will be employed in the position of Chief Executive Officer, Institutional Services with a  Bank Title of Executive Vice President. You will initially report to Ron O’Hanley and will  have a primary working location at State Street Financial Center in Boston, Massachusetts.     You agree to perform the duties of your position and such other duties as may be assigned to  you from time to time, in a diligent and competent manner. Further, while employed by State  Street, you will devote your full working time and your best efforts, business judgment, skill  and knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the business interests of State Street. Your  agreement to do so is a material inducement to State Street’s willingness to extend this offer  of employment to you. This is a full-time position.     Base Compensation    State Street will pay you a base salary at the initial gross rate of $700,000, annually for all  hours worked. You will not be eligible to earn overtime pay. State Street currently uses a bi- weekly pay cycle which generally results in payment every other Friday. State Street may  adjust this base salary and pay cycle from time to time.      Incentive Compensation Plan Participation    State Street’s approach to employee compensation is based on total compensation and pay- for-performance. Employees generally have the opportunity to earn some type of variable,  discretionary incentive pay in addition to base compensation through State Street’s incentive  compensation or structured incentive plans. Incentive compensation may be delivered in the  form of immediate or deferred awards. Receipt of incentive compensation is subject to the  





 






        Information Classification: Limited Access         terms and conditions of the applicable plan and deferred award documents approved by the  Board of Directors of State Street Corporation (the “Board”) or its delegate as in effect from  time to time, including any forfeiture and/or clawback provisions therein. Although State  Street intends to continue to use incentive compensation and structured incentive plans to  reward performance indefinitely, it may amend, modify or terminate its plans and programs  at any time. State Street’s incentive compensation program is subject to the applicable  guidance and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB)  and of other United States and international regulators, which may require that certain risk- mitigating features be included in your incentive awards. Because your position will be  deemed a “material risk taker” position for FRB purposes, your incentive awards will be  subject to applicable clawback/forfeiture requirements.    You will be eligible to be considered for annual discretionary incentive compensation awards  under the State Street incentive compensation plan applicable to your role (the “Plan”).  Awards under the Plan are made at the sole discretion of the Board or its delegate and are  based upon company performance, individual performance, risk factors and such other  factors as determined by the Board or its delegate. State Street may adjust the proportion of  cash and deferred compensation in each award, the type, form and structure of deferred  compensation, as well as the threshold for deferred compensation eligibility at any time.    Incentive compensation awards are typically made in the first quarter of each calendar year.  You must be employed on the date an award is made in order to earn and receive it.    Incentive Award Targets for 2021 and 2022.     You will be eligible to be considered for incentive compensation awards for 2021 and 2022  under the Plan. A target amount of $6,575,000 will be used in determining the amount of  your 2021 award. A target amount of $7,300,000 will be used in determining the amount of  your 2022 award.    Please understand that these targets are not a guarantee but represent the approximate  amounts you may be awarded under the Plan with respect to your performance in 2021 and  2022, as applicable. Like all awards under State Street incentive compensation plans, whether  or not you receive an award, and, if so, the amount ultimately awarded to you, are decisions  made in the sole discretion of State Street based upon Company performance, individual  performance factors, risk factors, overall Plan funding, the capital reserve requirements of  State Street, your 2021 or 2022 performance assessment, as applicable, and such other factors  as determined by the Board or its delegate in its discretion.    Each target will be used in determining the amount of your incentive compensation award for  the specified year only and will not be used to determine any other awards you are considered  for in any State Street incentive plan for subsequent years. The amount awarded to you, if  anything, may vary, up or down, from year to year. Payment under the Plan will be made in  cash and/or deferred awards, pursuant to the cash/deferral split determined by the Board or its  delegate in its discretion. Award of incentive compensation in one year does not guarantee an  award in any future year.    Expatriate and Other Benefits  





 






    Information Classification: Limited Access              Effective July 1, 2021, you will no longer be eligible for an expatriate allowance or other  expatriate benefits.    Reporting Location, Commuting. and Business Travel    Effective July 1, 2021, your reporting location will be our offices in Boston, Massachusetts.   We understand that you will likely elect not to live in the Boston area. In that case, you will  be personally responsible for the cost of any travel to and from our offices in Boston as well  as any personal income tax liability related to your presence in Massachusetts, just as you  would if you instead chose to live in the Boston area.    As was agreed during your prior employment in Hong Kong, State Street will also continue  the practice of providing you first-class air travel for your business travel. However, you will  be responsible for reimbursing the Company for the aggregate incremental cost of any  business travel originating from a city other than Boston for non-business reasons. By way of  example, if you elect to continue to live in Miami, Florida, and the cost of first-class airfare  from your home in Miami to visit a client exceeds the cost of comparable travel from Boston,  you will be required to reimburse the Company for that difference.     Benefit Program Participation    You will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs that State Street makes  available to its U.S. employees, subject to the eligibility requirements and other terms and  conditions contained in the applicable plan documents. The State Street Benefits Overview,  which provides information regarding State Street’s current benefit plan offerings, will be  provided under a separate cover.    Certain additional benefits are also provided to executives at the Executive Vice President  level within the Company, such as an executive physical examination program and umbrella  liability insurance.    Visit Fidelity NetBenefits at www.netbenefits.com/statestreet for additional information  about State Street’s benefits plans. State Street also provides a wide variety of talent  development opportunities, which include online and instructor-led classes across a wide  range of disciplines and topics, as well as mentors and numerous on-the-job experiences and  skill-building opportunities.    Although State Street intends to continue to offer valuable employee benefits and training  programs for its employees indefinitely, it may amend, modify or terminate such programs at  any time.      Vacation    Currently, State Street’s policies allow you to accrue vacation time at the rate of four (4)  weeks per year. Vacation currently accrues annually, on a calendar year basis. You will begin

In addition, if required by your business unit, level and/or  position, you may be required, as a condition of initial and/or continuing employment,  to complete a questionnaire regarding certain state and local political contributions  made by you and/or your dependents in order to establish your eligibility for  employment with State Street.  Nonimmigrant Visa Classification    If you are an individual holding a time-limited authorization to work in the United States  (such as an H-1B or L-1 visa), your inability to continue working for State Street following  the expiration of that visa will constitute a voluntary termination of your employment for all  





 






    Information Classification: Limited Access            purposes.

Notice Period Upon Resignation    To permit State Street to safeguard its business interests, including its valuable customer  goodwill, you agree to give State Street advance notice of your resignation. The duration of  the advanced notice you provide (the “Notice Period”) will be determined by your title at the  time you deliver such notice, as follows:  • If you are a member of the Management Committee, you will give 180 days’ advance  notice  • If you are an Executive Vice President (but not a member of the Management  Committee), you will give 90 days’ advance notice   During the Notice Period, you will cooperate with State Street and provide State Street with  any information it requests, in order to transition your duties, accomplish State Street’s  business, and/or preserve its valuable client relationships.

You agree that should you breach this paragraph 7 and fail to provide notice as required  herein, in addition to remedies under law, State Street shall be entitled to injunctive relief  restricting you from employment for a period equal to the period for which notice of  resignation was required but not provided without the need to post bond.    If you have 60 or fewer days’ notice remaining in your required Notice Period, State Street  may choose to release you from your obligations under this paragraph 7, and terminate your  employment with immediate effect and without any payment in lieu of any unexpired Notice  Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any such release by State Street shall not affect your other  obligations under this Appendix A.    Any termination of your employment pursuant to this paragraph 7, including by State Street  during the Notice Period, will be a voluntary termination for all purposes.  





 






    Information Classification: Limited Access              Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph 7 shall not apply in the event you terminate  your employment for Good Reason as defined in an agreement or plan relating to a change in  control of State Street.    8. Non-Competition    In consideration of your employment by State Street, the compensation and other benefits to  be provided to you under the Offer of Employment to which this Appendix A is appended,  and the significant support resources you will receive in the course of your employment by  State Street, you agree that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 are necessary to  protect the goodwill, Confidential Information (including trade secrets) and other legitimate  interests of State Street and its Affiliates. State Street hereby advises that you have the right  to consult an attorney before signing this agreement.    You agree that, while you are employed by State Street or any of its Affiliates and for 12  months following the date of termination of your employment with State Street or any of its  Affiliates for any reason (in the aggregate, the “Non-Compete Period”), you will not,  anywhere in the Restricted Area, for yourself or any other person or entity, directly or  indirectly, in any Restricted Capacity, engage in, provide services to, consult for, or be  employed by a business that provides products or services competitive with any products or  services of State Street or any of its Affiliates with respect to which you were involved at any  time during your employment or, with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period that  follows termination of your employment, within the two years preceding the date of the  termination of your employment with State Street or any of its Affiliates.    While you have a primary reporting location in Massachusetts, if State Street terminates your  employment involuntarily not for Cause, then the Non-Compete Period shall end upon the  termination of your employment.    9. Enforcement    You acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Appendix A are necessary  to the protection of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business and goodwill, and are material  and integral to the undertakings of the Company and its Affiliates. You further agree that  State Street and its Affiliates will be irreparably harmed in the event such provisions are not  performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, if  you fail to comply with such provisions, State Street or any of its Affiliates 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, without the need to post  bond. In addition, State Street or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to recover its or their  reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining any relief as a  result of your breach of any of your obligations under this Appendix A. You acknowledge  and agree that no change in the nature or scope of your employment or other relationship with  State Street or any of its Affiliates shall operate to excuse you from the performance of your  obligations hereunder.    10. No Waiver  





 






        Information Classification: Limited Access           No delay or waiver by the Company in exercising any rights under this Appendix A 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.    11. Interpretation of Business Protections    The representations and agreements made by you in this Appendix A 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 of the provisions in this Appendix A is severable  and independently enforceable without reference to the enforcement of any other provision. If  any restriction set forth in this Appendix A 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.    12. Definitions    For the purpose of clarity, the following terms in this Appendix A are defined as follows:    • “Affiliates” means any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with  State Street Bank & Trust Company, including State Street Corporation and its direct and  indirect subsidiaries and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of State Street Bank & Trust  Company.  • “Cause” means (i) State Street’s good faith determination that it has a reasonable basis  for dissatisfaction with your employment for reasons such as lack of capacity or  diligence, failure to conform to usual standards of conduct, or other culpable or  inappropriate behavior or (ii) other grounds for discharge that are reasonably related, in  State Street’s honest judgment, to the needs of the business of it and any of its Affiliates.  The definition applies only to the enforceability of the covenant not to compete contained  in thfis Appendix A, and any other non-competition agreement between you and State  Street or any of its Affiliates. It does not in any way modify the at-will employment  relationships between you and State Street.  • “Client” means a present or former customer or client of State Street or any of its  Affiliates with whom you have had, or with whom individuals supervised by you have  had, personal contact, or with respect to whom you have had access to Confidential  Information which would assist in your solicitation of such customer or client, in each  case at any time during your employment with State Street or any of its Affiliates, or with  respect to any restriction related to a Client that follows termination of your employment,  within twelve months prior to the date your employment with State Street ends.
