(h)    “Voting Securities” means any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.
Section 2.  Indemnification – General.  The Company shall indemnify, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee against all judgments, awards, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and losses and shall pay or reimburse all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in effect on the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, if Indemnitee is involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) in any Proceeding by reason of the fact of Indemnitee's Position or Positions, including, without limitation, any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, 

-2-

but excluding any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee other than (i) Proceedings initiated by Indemnitee which are consented to in advance in writing by the Company and (ii) counterclaims made by Indemnitee in a Proceeding which directly respond to and negate the affirmative claim made against Indemnitee in such Proceeding.  In the event Indemnitee incurs Expenses or settles a Proceeding under circumstances in which the Company would have an obligation to indemnify Indemnitee for the Expenses or settlement amount, the Company may discharge its indemnification obligation by making payments on behalf of Indemnitee directly to the parties to whom such Expenses or settlement amounts are owed by Indemnitee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will also, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in effect on the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, indemnify, reimburse and pay Indemnitee for Expenses incurred in seeking to enforce, interpret or construe an indemnification, reimbursement or payment right under the Company’s or any subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Company’s Indemnification Policy, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy.  
Section 3.  Expenses.  Upon receipt by the Company of an Undertaking by Indemnitee, the Company shall pay or reimburse Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding, any action or proceeding contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2 of this Agreement and any determination contemplated by Section 5 of this Agreement, in each case in advance of its final disposition.  The Company shall not impose other conditions to advancement and shall not seek or agree to any order that would prohibit Indemnitee from enforcing such right to advancement.  Such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written request from Indemnitee requesting reimbursement or payment of such Expenses.  Such request shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee.  The burden of proving that the Company is not liable for reimbursement or payment of Expenses shall be on the Company.
Section 4.  Limitations.  The Company shall not indemnify Indemnitee (1) if such indemnification or payment would constitute a "prohibited indemnification payment" under the FDIC Regulations or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations, (2) for an accounting of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (3) for violations of Federal or state insider trading laws, unless, in each such case, Indemnitee has been successful on the merits, received the Company's written consent prior to incurring an Expense or, after receiving the Company’s written consent to incurring the cost of settlement, settled the Proceeding.  This Section 4 shall not limit the Company’s obligation to advance Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.
Section 5.  Standard of Conduct.  No claim for indemnification shall be paid by the Company unless it has been determined that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, which is the standard of conduct set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL (as such, the "Standard of Conduct", with such Standard of Conduct to be automatically revised to conform to any successor provision of the DGCL that is more favorable to Indemnitee) except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any Proceeding by or in right of the Company as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, except as determined by the court or other tribunal adjudicating the Proceeding.  Unless (1) a Change of Control (as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement) shall have occurred, or (2) ordered by a court or other tribunal, such determinations of whether the Standard of Conduct has been satisfied shall be made by (A) a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to the Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (B) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (C) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (D) by stockholders of the Company.  If a Change of Control has occurred, such determination of whether the Standard of Conduct has been satisfied shall be made by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee.  Such independent legal counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the independent legal counsel and indemnify the independent legal counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement and shall indemnify, reimburse and pay Indemnitee for Expenses 

-3-

incurred in connection with such determination.  Indemnitee shall be deemed to have met the Standard of Conduct if the determination is not made by the Company within sixty days of receipt by the General Counsel of a written request by Indemnitee for indemnity.  If the Indemnitee has been determined not to have met the Standard of Conduct, Indemnitee may commence litigation in any court in the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial de novo determination by the court or challenging any such determination or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and agrees to appear in any such proceeding.  Any determination under this Section 5 otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.  In no event shall a determination be a prerequisite to or affect the Company’s obligation to advance Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.
Section 6.  Contribution.  If the full indemnification and payment or reimbursement of Expenses provided by this Agreement may not be paid to Indemnitee because it has been finally adjudicated that such indemnification or payment or reimbursement of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee is prohibited by Delaware or other law, or if it has been determined as provided above that the Standard of Conduct has not been met, and if and to the extent that Indemnitee is not entitled to coverage under the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy, then in respect of any such actual or threatened Proceeding in which the Company or an Affiliated Entity is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), as determined 
(a)    if no Change of Control has occurred, by (1) a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to the Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by stockholders of the Company, or
(b)    if a Change of Control has occurred, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee (such independent legal counsel to be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)),
the Company shall contribute to the amount of loss, liability or Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in such proportion as appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and any Affiliated Entity on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose and (ii) the relative fault of the Company, any Affiliated Entity or Unaffiliated Entity, including other persons indemnified by the Company on the one hand, and Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Proceeding, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, any Affiliated Entity or Unaffiliated Entity, including other persons indemnified by the Company, on the one hand, and of Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Proceeding.  The Company acknowledges that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take into account the foregoing equitable considerations.
Section 7.  Defense of Claim.  If any Proceeding asserted or commenced against Indemnitee is also asserted or commenced against the Company or an Affiliated Entity, the Company or the Affiliated Entity shall be entitled, except as otherwise provided herein below, to assume the defense thereof.  After notice from the Company or any Affiliated Entity to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's own counsel in such Proceeding, but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company or any Affiliated Entity to Indemnitee of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee and the Company shall not be obligated to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith other than reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable travel and lodging expenses arising out of Indemnitee's participation in the defense of such Proceeding, unless (i) otherwise notified by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee's counsel shall have reasonably concluded and so notified the Company that there is a conflict of interest between the Company or any Affiliated Entity and 

-4-

Indemnitee in the conduct of defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company or any Affiliated Entity shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in any of which cases the Expenses of Indemnitee in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed or paid by the Company.  The Company or any Affiliated Entity shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company by its stockholders or as to which Indemnitee's counsel shall have made the conclusion set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence of this Section 7.
Section 8.  Settlement.  The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability arising from or relating to any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding.  The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.  Duration of Agreement.  This Agreement will be considered to be in effect on the first day of the Indemnitee’s Position or Positions, even if such date occurs prior to the date of this Agreement, and will continue for so long as Indemnitee may be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact of Indemnitee's Position or Positions, whether or not Indemnitee ceases to hold such Position or Positions.
Section 10.  Confidentiality.  Except as permitted by applicable laws pertaining to the initiation of communications to, and cooperation with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other governmental or regulatory bodies or officials, or as otherwise becomes public (other than in violation of this Agreement) or as communicated to Indemnitee's counsel or to Indemnitee’s or the Company’s insurer, in seeking indemnification or reimbursement or payment of Expenses hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to keep confidential any information that arises in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to, claims for indemnification or payment or reimbursement of Expenses, amounts paid or payable under this Agreement and any communications between the Indemnitee and the Company.
Section 11.  Applicability to Other Indemnification Provisions.  This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Section 145(f) of the DGCL and to the fullest extent permitted by law shall be in addition to indemnification and reimbursement or payment of Expenses provided by the DGCL.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall apply this Agreement, which is substantially consistent with the Company's Indemnification Policy as in effect on the date hereof, in considering requests for indemnification or reimbursement or payment of Expenses under its Indemnification Policy, certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or any other agreement or undertaking of the Company or similar constituent documents of an Affiliated Entity that provides rights to indemnification or reimbursement or payment of Expenses ("Alternate Indemnification Provisions").  For the avoidance of doubt, should there be any differences between the Company’s Indemnification Policy and this Agreement, this Agreement will govern. 
Section 12.  No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall indemnify and pay or reimburse Expenses of the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee under this Agreement to the extent that Indemnitee (i) is otherwise entitled to receive reimbursement or payment of amounts otherwise payable hereunder from an Unaffiliated Entity (including insurance maintained by an Unaffiliated Entity) as a result of lndemnitee's Position or Positions at or with respect to an Unaffiliated Entity, (ii) receives payment or reimbursement under an insurance policy maintained by the Company or by or out of a fund created by the Company and under the control of a trustee or otherwise, or (iii) receives payment from other sources provided by the Company. If lndemnitee has a right of recovery from an Unaffiliated Entity (including insurance maintained by the Unaffiliated Entity), Indemnitee shall take all actions reasonably necessary to recover payment (or insurance) from  the Unaffiliated Entity before seeking payment from the Company under this Agreement, including initiating a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, proceeding or procedure; provided, however, that to the extent recovery 

-5-

of such payment requires meeting a prior deductible or other financial outlay, such payment or financial outlay shall be deemed to be an Expense hereunder. 
Section 13.  Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors and officers liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with and subject to its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any member of the Board.  
Section 14.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or otherwise.  Indemnitee shall execute all documents reasonably required and shall do everything reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights.
Section 15.  Notice by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing in accordance with Section 21 of this Agreement upon the earlier of (a) becoming aware of a Proceeding where indemnity or reimbursement or payment of Expenses may be sought or (b) receiving or being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, inquiry or other document relating to any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification or reimbursement or payment of Expenses covered hereunder.  As a condition to indemnification or reimbursement or payment of Expenses, any demand for payment by Indemnitee hereunder shall be in writing.
Section 16.  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular Proceeding or in any particular jurisdiction, for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other distinguishable Proceeding or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.  The invalidity, inoperability or unenforceability of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses or sections contained in this Agreement shall not affect any other remaining part of this Agreement.
Section 17.  Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Indemnitee and Indemnitee's heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators and upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
Section 18.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  
Section 19.  Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
Section 20.  Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Exhibit 10.3 

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORPORATION
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Long‐Term Incentive Plan
FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (the “Corporation”) and                                         , a key employee (the “Grantee”) of the Corporation, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

SECTION 1:  Restricted Stock Unit Award

1.1  Award.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) and to the terms of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Long‐Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Corporation awards to the Grantee                restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), each representing a share of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $.01 (the “Common Stock”), on                    (the “Grant Date”), subject to adjustment as provided in Article IX of the Plan.  Each of the RSUs is denominated as a single share of Common Stock with a value equal to one share of Common Stock.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.2  Acceptance.  The payment of the RSUs is contingent upon the Grantee’s acknowledgement of this Agreement in the manner prescribed by the Corporation, which shall constitute the Grantee’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, as this Agreement and the Plan may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no alteration, amendment, revocation or termination of this Agreement or the Plan shall, without the written consent of the Grantee, adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to the award.  If the Grantee does not acknowledge this Agreement in the manner prescribed by the Corporation on or before                     , this award will be forfeited.  In such case, the Grantee will have no rights to this award and it will not be reinstated.

1.3  Dividend Equivalent Rights; No Voting.  During the period prior to vesting, dividend equivalents will accrue with respect to the RSUs corresponding to the amount of any dividend paid by the Corporation for the applicable dividend payment date.  Such dividend equivalents will be paid in cash to the Grantee without interest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement if and to the extent that the underlying RSUs become vested as provided in this Agreement.  In the event that the Grantee receives any additional RSUs as an adjustment with respect to the RSUs granted under this Agreement, such additional RSUs will be subject to the same restrictions as if granted under this Agreement as of the Grant Date and paid pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.  During the period prior to vesting, the Grantee shall not be entitled to vote any shares represented by the RSUs.  “Corporation”, when used herein with reference to employment of the Grantee, shall include any Affiliate of the Corporation.  

SECTION 2:  Restrictions on Transfer

2.1  Nontransferable.  No RSUs awarded hereunder or any interest therein may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of (any such action being hereinafter referred to 

as a “Disposition”) by the Grantee until such time as this restriction lapses with respect to such RSUs pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and any attempt to make such a Disposition shall be null and void and result in the immediate forfeiture and return to the Corporation without consideration of any RSUs as to which restrictions on Disposition shall at such time be in effect.

SECTION 3:  Vesting, Risk Adjustment, Forfeiture, Termination of Employment, Disability and Covenants

3.1  Vesting Period, Risk Adjustment and Forfeiture.  

(a)    Vesting and Risk Adjustment.  Subject to Section 5.6 of this Agreement, if the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Corporation through the close of business on the applicable vesting date, the RSUs shall vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse in accordance with the following schedule: [Insert Vesting Schedule]

provided that all fractional RSUs, if any, will be rounded up and vest as whole RSUs upon the earlier vesting date(s) and provided further that unvested RSUs are subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.

(b)    Forfeiture upon Termination of Employment.  Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement, upon the effective date of a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation occurring prior to the vesting and lapse of restrictions on Disposition, all RSUs then subject to restrictions on Disposition shall immediately be forfeited and returned to the Corporation without consideration or further action being required of the Corporation except in situations where vesting would have occurred but for the fact that a determination has not yet been made as to whether a risk adjustment pursuant to Attachment A is required, in which case vesting shall occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement provided that the Committee determines the effect, if any, of a risk adjustment.  The effective date of the Grantee’s termination shall be the date upon which the Grantee ceases to perform services as an employee of the Corporation, without regard to accrued vacation, severance or other benefits or the characterization thereof on the payroll records of the Corporation.  

(c)    Forfeiture upon Termination of Employment for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the effective date of a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for “Cause,” as defined in Section 3.4 below, all RSUs then subject to restrictions on Disposition shall immediately be forfeited and returned to the Corporation without consideration or further action being required of the Corporation.

(d)    Limitation.  Subject to Section 4.1, a vesting date may be delayed if and to the extent the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A is not completed by such date.

3.2  Specified Terminations of Employment.

(a)    Death.  If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by reason of the Grantee’s death (or if the Grantee’s death occurs at any time while the RSUs remain subject to restrictions on Disposition), the RSUs shall vest immediately and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse upon the Grantee’s death.

- 2 -    

(b)    Specified Age and Years of Service Rule.  If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation terminates on or after the Grantee’s attainment of age 55 and the combination of the Grantee’s age and years of credited employment with the Corporation (including full and partial years of age or service) on the date of Grantee’s termination equals or exceeds 65, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse as provided in Section 3.1(a), contingent upon the Grantee’s compliance with the covenants provided in Section 3.5 hereof and subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.  If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the RSUs shall immediately be forfeited.  For the purposes of the foregoing, partial years shall be determined based upon the number of days since the Grantee’s then prior birthday or the number of days of credited employment since the Grantee’s then prior anniversary, as the case may be.

(c)    Termination Providing Transition/Separation Pay.  If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation terminates by reason of a termination providing transition/separation pay from the Corporation, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse as provided in Section 3.1(a), contingent upon the Grantee’s compliance with the covenants provided in Section 3.5 hereof and subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.  If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the RSUs shall immediately be forfeited.  

(d)    Sale of Business.  If the Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of a termination by the Corporation due to a sale of a business unit or subsidiary of the Corporation by which the Grantee is employed and the Grantee is not otherwise entitled to transition/separation pay from the Corporation, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse as provided in Section 3.1(a), subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.

(e)    Change in Control.  If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without “Cause,” as defined in Section 3.4 below, within two years after a Change in Control, as defined in Section 10.1 of the Plan, occurring after the Grant Date, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse as provided in Section 3.1(a), subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.  

3.3  Disability.  If Grantee receives current benefits under the Corporation’s long‐term disability plan while any portion of this award remains unvested, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse as provided in Section 3.1(a), subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.  

3.4  Cause Definition.  Solely for purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean when the Corporation or any Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that: 

(i) the Grantee has been convicted of, or has entered into a pretrial diversion or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere (plea of no contest) to a crime or offense constituting a felony (or its equivalent under applicable laws outside of the United States), or to any other crime or offense involving 

- 3 -    

moral turpitude, dishonesty, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, or any other offense that may preclude the Grantee from being employed with a financial institution;

(ii) the Grantee is grossly negligent in the performance of his or her duties or has failed to perform in any material respect the duties of his or her employment, including, without limitation, failure to comply with any lawful directive from the Corporation, other than by reason of incapacity due to disability or from any permitted leave of absence required by law; 

(iii) the Grantee has violated the Corporation’s Code of Conduct or any of the policies of the Corporation governing the conduct of the Corporation’s business or his or her employment; 

(iv) the Grantee has engaged in any misconduct which has the effect of being materially injurious to the Corporation, including, but not limited to, its reputation;

(vi) if the Grantee is employed outside the United States and there are circumstances other than the above that warrant the immediate termination of his or her employment without any notice or payment in accordance with the terms of his or her employment agreement or Applicable Laws (as defined in Section 5.2).

3.5  Covenants.  The Grantee agrees to provide the Corporation with 90 days’ advance written notice of any voluntary termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation.  In the case of those terminations for which vesting is contingent upon compliance with this section, the Grantee agrees that for the period commencing on the effective date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation until the one‐year anniversary thereof (provided that the covenants shall not apply to any vested RSU tranches), the Grantee will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly, (i) any current or prospective client of the Corporation or an Affiliate known to the Grantee, to initiate or continue a client relationship with the Grantee other than with the Corporation or Affiliate or to terminate or reduce its client relationship with the Corporation or Affiliate, or (ii) any employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate, to terminate such employee’s employment relationship with the Corporation or Affiliate in order to enter into a similar relationship with the Grantee, or any other person or any entity, or (b) compete against the Corporation or an Affiliate in any capacity, whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, employee or otherwise, with any financial services industry company located within 1,000 miles of the Grantee’s primary location of employment with the Corporation; provided, however, that the ownership of up to 5% of any class of the outstanding securities of any company the securities of which are listed on a national securities exchange (a “Public Company”) (including, for purposes of calculating such percentage, the voting securities owned by persons acting in concert with such person or otherwise constituting a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall not be deemed a violation hereof provided that the Grantee does not have an active role in the management of such Public Company.  If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the consequence shall be forfeiture of the RSUs and all dividend equivalents accrued with respect to such RSUs.  The Grantee agrees to advise any person or entity that seeks to employ the Grantee of the terms of these covenants.

- 4 -    

3.6    Continuation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.6 continue to apply without limitation in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of employment or services under this Section 3.
 

SECTION 4:  Settlement

4.1  Time of Settlement.  Vested RSUs shall be settled on the vesting dates provided herein and in all events no later than two and one-half months following the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs; provided, however, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), upon separation from service and such settlement is conditioned upon a separation from service and not compensation the Grantee could receive without separating from service, then settlement shall not be made until the first day following the six‐month anniversary of the Grantee’s separation from service (or upon earlier death).   

4.2  Form of Settlement.  The RSUs shall be settled in the form of Common Stock delivered in book‐entry form.  Dividend equivalents, if any, shall be settled in the form of cash, payable without interest.  

SECTION 5:  Miscellaneous

5.1  No Right to Employment.  Neither the award of RSUs nor anything else contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Corporation to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause.

5.2  Compliance with Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees to take any action, and consents to the taking of any action by the Corporation, with respect to the RSUs awarded hereunder necessary to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations or relevant regulatory requirements or interpretations in effect from time to time (“Applicable Laws”).  Any determination in this connection by the Corporation shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Corporation shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as the same shall be in effect from time to time) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares in book-entry form or otherwise therefore to comply with any Applicable Laws.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee understands and agrees that if any payment or other obligation under or arising from this Agreement, including without limitation dividend equivalent rights, or the Plan is in conflict with or is restricted by any Applicable Laws, then the Corporation may reduce, revoke, cancel, clawback or impose different terms and conditions to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to effect such compliance.  If the Corporation determines that it is necessary or appropriate for any payments under this Agreement to be delayed in order to avoid additional tax, interest and or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the payments would not be made before the date which is the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment (or upon earlier death).  

5.3  Plan Governs.  This is the Award Agreement contemplated in Section 2.3(b) of the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  A copy of the Plan can be found on the Corporation’s equity award website or may be obtained from 

- 5 -    

the Executive Compensation Division of the Corporation’s Human Resources Department.  No amount of income received by the Grantee pursuant to the RSUs shall be considered compensation for purposes of any pension or retirement plan, insurance plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Corporation.

5.4  Liability for Breach.  The Grantee hereby indemnifies the Corporation and holds it harmless from and against any and all damages or liabilities incurred by the Corporation (including liabilities for attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any attempted Disposition in violation of Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

5.5  Tax Withholding.  The Grantee must pay the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign income or employment taxes required to be withheld on the compensation income resulting from the award of, or lapse of restrictions on, the RSUs directly to the Corporation in cash upon request; provided, however, that where the restrictions on Disposition set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement have lapsed the Grantee may satisfy such obligation in whole or in part by requesting the Corporation in writing to withhold from the Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Grantee or by delivering to the Corporation shares of its Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the restrictions lapse equal to the amount of the aggregate minimum statutory withholding tax obligation to be so satisfied, in accordance with such rules as the Committee may prescribe.  If the Grantee does not make such request, the Corporation will automatically net unless it has previously requested payment in cash.  The Corporation may also establish rules, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 4.1 hereof, which may differ from those described above in the case of employment taxes if such taxes are deemed to be due before the lapse of restrictions on Disposition.  The Corporation’s obligation to issue or credit shares to the Grantee is contingent upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements, notwithstanding the lapse of the restrictions thereon. 

5.6  Forfeiture and Repayment.  If, directly or indirectly:

(a) during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation, the Grantee engages in conduct or it is discovered that the Grantee engaged in conduct that is materially adverse to the interests of the Corporation, including failures to comply with the Corporation’s rules or regulations, fraud, or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities; 

(b) during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation and, unless the Grantee has post‐termination obligations or duties owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates pursuant to an individual agreement set forth in subsection (d) below, for one year thereafter, the Grantee engages in solicitation and/or diversion of customers or employees;  

(c) during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation, the Grantee engages in competition with the Corporation or its Affiliates; 

(d) following termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for any reason, with or without Cause, the Grantee violates any post-termination obligations or duties owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates or any agreement with the Corporation or its Affiliates, including without limitation, any employment agreement, confidentiality agreement or other agreement restricting post‐employment conduct; or

- 6 -    

(e) any compensation that the Corporation has promised or paid to the Grantee is required to be forfeited and/or repaid to the Corporation pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements;

the Corporation may cancel all or any portion of this award with respect to the RSUs subject to restrictions on Disposition and/or require repayment of any shares (or the value thereof) or amounts which were acquired from the award.  The Corporation shall have sole discretion to determine what constitutes grounds for forfeiture and/or repayment under this Section 5.6, and, in such event, the portion of this award that shall be cancelled and the sums or amounts that shall be repaid.  For purposes of the foregoing, Grantee expressly and explicitly authorizes the Corporation to issue instructions, on Grantee’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Corporation to hold the shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares and/or other amounts to the Corporation.

5.7  Governing Law and Choice of Forum.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, other than any choice of law provisions calling for the application of laws of another jurisdiction.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of New York County, New York, or the federal courts for the United States for the Southern District of New York, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed and agree to such other choice of forum provisions as are included in the Plan.

5.8  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

5.9  Waiver.  The Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Corporation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

Attachment A
Risk Adjustment/Forfeiture Decision Process

For any performance year in which the Grantee remains a covered employee, the Grantee’s risk performance will be assessed via a Risk Culture Summary Scorecard (“RCSS”) Score or a Performance Management Platform (“PMP”) Risk Goal Rating. If, in any year, the Grantee receives an RCSS Score of 4 or worse, or a PMP Risk Goal Rating of “Below Expectations” or “Unsatisfactory,” the Grantee’s unvested RSUs will be subject to review by the Incentive Compensation Review Committee (“ICRC”) for consideration of forfeiture.  If the Grantee is no longer a covered employee or has left the Corporation, any unvested portion of the RSUs will also be subject to a risk review by the ICRC.  The ICRC is generally comprised of senior managers and senior control managers.

In that event, as part of its review, ICRC will ask –
		
	•
	Did the Grantee’s score/rating reflect poor risk behavior by the Grantee in a prior year?

		
	•
	Did the Grantee receive an award in that year?

 
If the answer to both questions is yes, ICRC asks the following questions with respect to each of the designated prior years:
 
		
	•
	Financial Impact:  How much did/will the issue cost the Company? 

		
	•
	Reputational Impact:  How much of a regulatory impact did/will it have on the Company?

 
ICRC selects the impact answer that falls into the highest category below to determine the impact forfeiture percentage.

As used in this Attachment A, the term “Company” shall mean the Corporation and its Affiliates.  

Then the ICRC asks how much, if any, control/responsibility the Grantee had regarding the situation.  The answer to the last question determines the modifier to be applied to the impact forfeiture percentage.
