	Definitions.  When used herein, the following words shall have the meanings indicated below.  Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the State Street Salary Savings Program, as from time to time amended and in effect.

	2.1
	Eligibility to participate.  An Employee who is an Eligible Employee on December 31, 2007 shall (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.1) continue to be an Eligible Employee as of January 1, 2008.  Any other Employee shall become an Eligible Employee on the first Eligibility Date he or she satisfies the requirements of both (a) and (b) below.

	2.2
	Commencement of participation.  Except as the Plan Administrator otherwise determines, any such determination to be made in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and subject to the annual election process set forth in Section 3.2, an individual upon first becoming an Eligible Employee may elect to defer (a) Base Pay under Section 3.3(a) starting with Base Pay earned for the Plan Year that begins on the Entry Date next following his or her initial Eligibility Date, and (b) Incentive Pay under Section 3.3(b) starting with Incentive Pay earned for the Plan Year that begins on the Entry Date next following his or her initial Eligibility Date.

		
	2.3
	Termination of participation.  The Plan Administrator may terminate an Employee’s participation in the Plan at any time.  If an Employee’s participation in the Plan terminates hereunder, the Participant’s Account shall continue to be adjusted for notional earnings or other notional investment experience until it is distributed.  No termination of participation shall result in a cessation or refund of deferrals for which the deferral election has already been made, except in a manner that is consistent with compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE III
DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS, MATCHING CREDITS, PERFORMANCE-
BASED CREDITS, NOTIONAL INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

		
	3.1
	Deferred Compensation Agreement; Elective Credits.  An Eligible Employee may elect to defer a portion of his or her Base Pay and/or Incentive Pay earned during the applicable Plan Year by entering into a Deferred Compensation Agreement through the enrollment process established by the Plan Administrator for such Plan Year.  An otherwise Eligible Employee who is not provided effective access to the enrollment process for a Plan Year shall be deemed ineligible to participate for such Plan Year.  Elective Credits equal to the amounts deferred shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable after the deferral is withheld from pay.

		
	3.2
	Election procedures and deadlines.

		
	(a)
	Advance elections required.  A Deferred Compensation Agreement with respect to Base Pay and/or Incentive Pay must be made in accordance with such procedures as the Plan Administrator may establish and prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which such Base Pay and/or Incentive Pay is to be earned.  .  

A Deferred Compensation Agreement, once made, may not be modified or revoked after the applicable election deadline except as otherwise expressly provided in Article V below.
		
	(b)
	Other requirements.  Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, a new Deferred Compensation Agreement must be timely executed for each Plan Year and shall be effective only if offered, accepted and approved by the Plan Administrator by the applicable deadline.

		
	3.3
	Amount of deferrals.

		
	(a)
	Base Pay.  For each Plan Year, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer an amount from 1% to 25% (1% to 50% effective for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2013), in whole percentages, of his or her Base Pay for the Plan Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may impose, in advance, a more restrictive minimum or maximum limit on the amount that may be deferred. 

		
	(b)
	Incentive Pay. For each Plan Year or other applicable performance period an Eligible Employee may elect to defer an amount that is expressed either as a percentage (from 5% to 92%, in whole-percentage increments) of the Participant’s Incentive Pay for the Plan Year (or other period), or as a whole dollar amount not less than $1,000 and not exceeding 92% of such Incentive Pay.  Effective for Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2014, for each Plan Year an Eligible Employee may elect to defer an amount that is expressed either as a percentage (from 5% to 100%, in whole-percentage increments) of the Participant’s net of FICA withholding Incentive Pay for the Plan Year (or other period), or as a whole dollar amount not less than $1,000 and not exceeding 100% of such net of FICA withholding Incentive Pay.

		
	3.4
	Matching Credit.  For each Plan Year commencing on and after January 1, 2012, a Matching Credit shall be added to each Participant’s Account equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the total amount, if any, deferred under all Deferred Compensation Agreements made by the Participant for 

such Plan Year, and (b) 5% of the Participant’s Match-Eligible Compensation for such Plan Year.  Effective for Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2013, Matching Credits for a Plan Year shall be added to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) the last day of the Plan Year, or (ii) the last day of the calendar quarter following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability.

		
	3.5
	Accounts.  The Plan Administrator shall establish for each Participant an Account together with such sub-accounts as in the determination of the Plan Administrator are needed or appropriate to reflect the Credits described above as well as debits and other adjustments, including without limitation adjustments for notional (hypothetical) investment experience as described in this Section 3.5.  The Plan Administrator shall designate for purposes of the Plan one or more existing investment or investment-fund alternatives (each, a “tracking option”), including, if the Plan Administrator so determines, a tracking option that offers a return of notional interest (for example, as in a bank savings account), and shall give each Participant and the Beneficiary(ies) of each deceased Participant for whom an Account continues to be maintained the opportunity to allocate his or her Account among the available tracking options.  Amounts allocated under the Plan to a tracking option shall be treated as though notionally invested in that tracking option.  In the absence of an affirmative allocation by a Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator may designate a default tracking option and treat all or a portion of the balance of any Account, or of any amount newly credited under the Plan, as being notionally invested in the default tracking option.  The Plan Administrator shall periodically adjust Accounts to reflect increases or decreases attributable to these notional investments.  Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, a Participant or Beneficiary may make notional investment changes once per calendar month (daily, commencing on and after October 1, 2012).  The Plan Administrator may at any time and from time to time eliminate or add tracking options or substitute a new for an existing tracking option, including with respect to balances already notionally invested under the Plan.  The Employer may, but need not, purchase securities or other investments with characteristics similar to the tracking options from time to time offered under the Plan, but any such securities or other investments shall remain part of the Employer’s general assets unless held in a trust described in Section 8.1 in a manner not inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A(b) of the Code.  By selecting a tracking option hereunder, a Participant agrees, on his or her behalf and on behalf of his or her Beneficiaries, that none of the Committee, the Plan Administrator, the Employer, or any of their agents or representatives, shall be liable for any losses or damages of any kind relating to any tracking option made available hereunder.

		
	3.6
	Cancellation of Deferral Elections.  A Participant’s deferral elections under Section 3.1 shall be cancelled as to future deferrals if the Participant has an unforeseeable emergency described in Section 5.4 below.  Effective November 1, 2014, a Participant’s outstanding Base Pay deferral election  shall be cancelled if the Participant receives a hardship distribution under the Basic Plan pursuant to §1.401(k)-1(d)(3).  A Participant may also cancel his or her deferral elections as to future deferrals upon the occurrence of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the Participant’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, provided such cancellation is made by the later of (a) the end of the calendar year in which such impairment occurs and (b) the 15th day of the third month following the date on which such impairment occurs.  If a Participant’s deferral elections are cancelled pursuant to this Section 3.6, any later deferral election by the Participant will be subject to the timing requirements of Section 3.2.

ARTICLE IV

	4.1
	Vesting of Accounts.  The portions of each Account that reflect Performance-Based Credits and Matching Credits, and related adjustments, shall be fully vested upon the Participant’s completion of one Year of Vesting Service, or upon the Participant’s death, becoming Disabled, or attainment of age 65, the termination of the Plan, the full or partial termination of the Basic Plan with respect to the Participant, whichever is first to occur.  The remainder of each Account shall be fully vested at all times.  The fact that an Account or any portion thereof is fully vested shall not give the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary(ies)) or any other person any right to receive the value of such Account (as the same may from time to time be adjusted) except in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(i) at the same time and in the same form of payment as that specified in Section 5.1 above; 
(ii) in annual installments over a period of from two (2) to ten (10) years commencing on the first business day of the month following the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.   Each installment payment shall be determined by dividing the applicable Account balance (or remaining applicable Account balance) immediately prior to the payment date by the number of installments remaining to be paid; or
(iii)  in the form of a lump sum payable as of a specified date that is at least 3 years after the effective date of the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement, provided that if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs prior to such specified date, the Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be paid on the same date as that specified in Section 5.1 above.
		
	(b) 
	A Participant may make a separate election each Plan Year with respect to Base Pay and Incentive Pay earned in the Plan Year that are subject to the election(s).  In the absence of an affirmative election, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment of all subject deferrals in a single lump sum on the date specified in Section 5.1 above.  

		
	(c) 
	Subject to such additional rules and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, a Participant who has made or who is deemed to have made an election under this Section 5.2 may later change the timing of such election (or deemed election) (a “re-deferral election”) as long as the Participant remains an Employee at the time of the election, but only if all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (i) the re-deferral election is made at least 12 months prior to the date on which payment would have otherwise been made or commenced; (ii) the re-deferral election cannot be given effect sooner than twelve (12) months after the date it becomes irrevocable; and (iii) the new payment (or payment commencement) date must follow by at least five (5) years the date on which the benefit would have been paid absent the re-deferral election.

		
	(d) 
	For amounts earned prior to January 1, 2013 that have been deferred under the Plan, the payment of all portions of an Account payable under this Section 5.2 shall be governed by the Participant’s initial election or, if there has been a re-deferral election, the most recently 

effective such re-deferral election. The following information applies to amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2013, and is provided for pre-2013 deferral process historical context -- Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if payment is made to a Participant as of a specified date during his or her employment by the Employer, the payment terms for any Base Pay or Incentive Pay deferred from the Plan Year in which such distribution event occurred (“distribution-year deferrals”) shall be governed by a new payment election made at the time of the earliest Deferred Compensation Agreement applicable to any such distribution-year deferrals (and if there is no such new payment election, shall be deemed to have been elected to be paid in a single lump sum on the date specified in Section 5.1 above); and (ii) the payment election or deemed payment election made with respect to any distribution-year deferrals shall apply to any and all subsequent deferrals of amounts earned prior to January 1, 2013 unless the distribution-year deferral rule described in clause (v) above would apply to such subsequent deferrals.

		
	5.3
	Special rules.

		
	(a)
	Payments on account of Disability.  Effective for Disability determinations after October 1, 2012, if the Participant is determined to be Disabled, the balance of a Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which the Participant becomes Disabled, and in any event by the later of A) the fifteenth day of the third month following the date on which the Participant becomes Disabled, or B) the end of the calendar year in which the Participant becomes Disabled, in a manner that complies with Code section 409A.

		
	(b)
	Payment upon death.  As soon as practicable (and in all events within 90 days) following a Participant’s death, the Participant’s remaining Account, if any, shall be distributed in a single lump sum cash payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.

		
	(c)
	Rehire.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event a Participant who has Separated from Service subsequently returns to employment with an Employer, payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan accrued prior to such Separation from Service shall not be suspended or otherwise delayed.

		
	5.4
	Unforeseeable emergency.  If a Participant has a severe financial hardship resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, his or her Federal Spouse, Beneficiary, or dependent (as defined in Code section 152(a)), a loss of property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control, he or she may request a withdrawal of a portion or all of his or her vested Account.  No withdrawal may be made under this Section 5.4 to the extent that such emergency is or can be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.  A withdrawal under this Section 5.4 will be permitted only to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, which may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal.  The Plan Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether a withdrawal may be made under this Section 5.4 and the amount of the withdrawal that may be made. 

		
	5.5
	Certain tax matters.  Payments hereunder shall be reduced by required tax withholdings.  To the extent any deferral or credit under the Plan results in current “wages” for FICA purposes, a 

Participant’s Employer may reduce other pay of the Participant to satisfy withholding requirements related thereto; but if there is no other pay (or if the Employer fails to withhold from such other pay to satisfy its FICA withholding obligations), the Participant’s Account shall be appropriately reduced by the amount of the required withholding.

		
	5.6
	Distribution of taxable amounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of an Account is determined by the Plan Administrator to be includible, by reason of Section 409A of the Code, in a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s income, such portion shall be paid by the Employer (or by the Employers, on an allocated basis determined by the Plan Administrator) to such Participant or Beneficiary.

		
	5.7
	Special Rule for 2007.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Plan Administrator may establish special rules and procedures to permit Participants or Beneficiaries with an Account under the Plan (as in effect prior to January 1, 2008) and whose distribution date or dates with respect to such Account would fall after December 31, 2007 to elect, in a manner consistent with transition guidance under Section 409A of the Code, a new form and time of distribution (commencing not earlier than 2008), subject to such limitations and restrictions as the Plan Administrator may impose.  A Participant who fails to elect a new form and time of distribution pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to have revoked his or her previous distribution elections with respect to benefits that have not commenced as of December 31, 2007 and to have elected for all such benefits to be paid in accordance with the other provisions of this Article V.  This Section 5.7 shall be effective as of January 1, 2007. 

		
	5.8
	Timely Payments.  A payment shall be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan provided the payment is made at such specified date or a later date within the same calendar year or, if later, by the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following the date specified under the Plan.  Further, a payment is not treated as an accelerated payment if the payment is made no earlier than 30 days before the date specified under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the above, neither a Participant nor Beneficiary shall have any influence over the tax year in which a payment falls.

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

		
	6.1
	Plan Administrator.  Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, the Plan Administrator shall be the Executive Vice President-Global Human Resources as from time to time in office, and his or her delegates.  The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan.  Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously.  However, no individual acting, directly or by delegation, as the Plan Administrator may determine his or her own rights or entitlements under the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures, maintain such records and prepare such reports as it considers to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan. 

		
	6.2  
	Outside services.  The Plan Administrator may engage counsel and such clerical, financial, investment, accounting, and other specialized services as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or appropriate in the administration of the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon any opinions, reports, or other advice furnished by counsel or other specialists engaged for that purpose and, in so relying, shall be fully protected in any action, determination, or omission made in good faith.

		
	6.3 
	Indemnification.  To the extent permitted by law and not prohibited by its charter and by-laws, State Street will indemnify and hold harmless every person serving (directly or by delegation) as Plan Administrator and the estate of such an individual if he or she is deceased from and against all claims, loss, damages, liability and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in carrying out his or her responsibilities as Plan Administrator, unless due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such individual; provided, that counsel fees and amounts paid in settlement must be approved by State Street; and  further provided,  that this Section 6.3 will not apply to any claims, loss, damages, liability or costs and expenses which are covered by a liability insurance policy maintained by State Street or by the individual.  The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply to any corporate trustee, insurance company, investment manager or outside service provider (or to any employee of any of the foregoing) unless State Street otherwise specifies in writing.

		
	6.4  
	Claims procedure.  The Plan Administrator has established the procedures set forth on Exhibit B for determining claims for benefits under the Plan.  The Plan Administrator may modify or update Exhibit B from time to time without any amendment under Section 7.1 being required.  

ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

		
	7.1
	Amendment; termination.  By action of the Committee or its delegate, State Street reserves the absolute right at any time and from time to time to amend any or all provisions of the Plan, and to terminate the Plan at any time.  In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the right at any time and from time to time to make amendments to the Plan (in general or with respect to one or more individual Participants or Beneficiaries) that are administrative in nature and that do not materially increase the financial obligations of the Employer, including, without limitation, amendments coordinating the provisions of the Plan with the terms of any severance, separation or similar plan or agreement.

		
	7.2
	Effect of amendment or termination.  No action under Section 7.1 shall operate to reduce the balance of a Participant’s Account as compared to such balance immediately prior to the effectiveness of such action, other than through a distribution upon a termination and liquidation of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Regs. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)).

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

		
	8.1
	Source of payments.  All payments hereunder to Participants and their Beneficiaries shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer, including for this purpose, if the Employer in its sole discretion so determines, assets of one or more trusts established to assist in the payment of benefits hereunder.  Any trust established pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide that trust assets remain subject to the employer’s general creditors in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy and shall otherwise contain such terms as are necessary to ensure that they do not constitute a “funding” of the Plan for purposes of the Code or ERISA.

		
	8.2
	Other arrangements made subject to the Plan.  The Plan Administrator in its discretion may provide that other deferrals of compensation by persons providing services to an Employer shall be governed in whole or in part by the provisions of the Plan.  In any case where an Employer has agreed to assume a deferred compensation obligation of another employer (for example, but without limitation, in connection with the transfer of employment of an individual from such other employer to the Employer assuming such deferred compensation obligations), the Plan Administrator may likewise provide that such assumed obligation, expressed as an account, shall be governed in whole or in part by the provisions of the Plan.

		
	8.3
	No warranties.  Neither the Plan Administrator nor any Employer warrants or represents in any way that the value of a Participant’s Account will increase or not decrease.  Each Participant (and his or her Beneficiary) assumes all risk in connection with any change in such value.

		
	8.4
	Inalienability of benefits.  Except as required by law, no benefit under, or interest in, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  

		
	8.5
	Reclassification of Employment Status.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an individual who is not characterized or treated as a common law employee by an Employer shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan notwithstanding any determination of employee status by the Internal Revenue Service, a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.  At the time when any individual is reclassified or deemed to be reclassified as a common law employee, the individual shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the Entry Date coinciding with or next following the reclassification date (to the extent such individual otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Employee hereunder).  If the effective date of any such reclassification is prior to the actual date of such reclassification, in no event shall the reclassified individual be eligible to participate in the Plan retroactively to the effective date of such reclassification.

		
	8.6
	Expenses.  The Employer shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in operating and administering the Plan.

		
	8.7
	No right of employment.  Nothing contained herein, nor any action taken under the provisions hereof, shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer.

		
	8.8
	Headings.  The headings of the sections in the Plan are placed herein for convenience of reference, and, in the case of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such heading, shall control.

		
	8.9
	Acceptance of Plan terms.  By executing a Deferred Compensation Agreement, a Participant agrees, on his or her behalf and on behalf of his or her Beneficiaries, to abide by the terms of the Plan and the determinations of the Plan Administrator with respect thereto.

		
	8.10
	Construction.  The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and applicable federal laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly respective duly authorized officer on the 15 day of September, 2014.

CLAIMS PROCEDURES
STATE STREET CORPORATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN CLAIMS PROCEDURES

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2014)

These Claims  Procedures for filing and reviewing claims have been established and adopted for the State Street Corporation Management Supplemental Savings Plan, and the State Street Corporation Management Supplemental Retirement Plan (each, a “Plan,” and together, the “Plans”) and are intended to comply with Section 503 of ERISA and related Department of Labor regulations.  These amended and restated Claims Procedures are effective for claims made under the Plans on or after January 1, 2008. 
		
	1.
	In General.  Any employee or former employee, or any person claiming to be a beneficiary with respect to such a person, may request, with respect to any of the Plans:

		
	a)
	a benefit payment,

		
	b)
	a resolution of a disputed amount of benefit payment, or

		
	c)
	a resolution of a dispute as to whether the person is entitled to the particular form of benefit payment.

A request described above and filed in accordance with these Procedures is a claim, and the person on whose behalf the claim is filed is a claimant.  A claim must relate to a benefit which the claimant asserts he or she is already entitled to receive or will become entitled to receive within one year following the date the claim is filed.
		
	2.
	Effect on Benefit Requests in Due Course.  Each Plan has established procedures for benefit applications, selection of benefit forms, designation of beneficiaries, determination of qualified domestic relations orders, and similar routine requests and inquiries relating to the operation of the Plan.

  
3.    Filing of Claims.  
		
	a)
	Each claim must be in writing and delivered by hand or first-class mail (including registered or certified mail) to the Plan Administrator, at the following address: 

GHR U.S. Benefits Planning
State Street Corporation
c/o Vice President, GHR-U.S. Benefits Planning
One Lincoln Street, 14th Floor
Boston, MA 02111
A claim must clearly state the specific outcome being sought by the claimant.  
		
	b)
	The claim must also include sufficient information relating to the identity of the claimant and such other information reasonably necessary to allow the claim to be evaluated.

 
		
	c)
	In no event may a claim for benefits be filed by a Claimant more than 120 days after the applicable “Notice Date,” as defined below. 

		
	i)
	In any case where benefits are paid to the Claimant as a lump sum, the Notice Date shall be the date of payment of the lump sum. 

		
	ii)
	In any case where benefits are paid to the Claimant in the form of an annuity or installments, the Notice Date shall be the date of payment of the first installment of the annuity or payment of first installment. 

		
	iii)
	In any case where the Plan (prior to the filing of a claim for benefits) determines that an individual is not entitled to benefits (for example (without limitation) where an individual terminates employment and the Plan determines that he has not vested) and the Plan provides written notice to such person of its determination, the Notice Date shall be the date of the individual’s receipt of such notice. 

		
	iv)
	In any case where the Plan provides an individual with a written statement of his account as of a specific date or the amounts credit to, or charged against, his account within a specified period, the Notice Date with regard to matters describe in such statement shall be the date of the receipt of such notice by such individual (or beneficiary).

4.    Processing of Claims.  A claim normally shall be processed and determined by the Plan Administrator within a reasonable time (not longer than 90 days) following actual receipt of the claim.  However, if the Plan Administrator determines that additional time is needed to process the claim and so notifies the claimant in writing within the initial 90-day period, the Plan Administrator may extend the determination period for up to an additional 90 days.  In addition, where the Plan Administrator determines that the extension of time is required due to the failure of the claimant to submit information necessary in order to determine the claim, the period of time in which the claim is required to be considered pursuant to this Paragraph 4 shall be tolled from the date on which notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.  Any notice to a claimant extending the period for considering a claim shall indicate the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render a determination with respect to the claim.  The Plan Administrator shall not process or adjudicate any claim relating specifically to his or her own benefits under a Plan. 

5.    Determination of Claim.  The Plan Administrator shall inform the claimant in writing of the decision regarding the claim by registered or certified mail posted within the time period described in Paragraph 4.  The decision shall be based on governing Plan documents.  If there is an adverse determination with respect to all or part of the claim, the written notice shall include:
		
	a)
	the specific reason or reasons for the denial,

		
	b)
	reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based,

		
	c)
	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, 

		
	d)
	reference to and a copy of these Procedures, so as to provide the claimant with a description of the relevant Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, a description of the claimant’s rights regarding documentation as described in Paragraph 9, and

		
	e)
	a statement of the claimant’s rights under Section 502(a) of ERISA  to bring a civil action with respect to an adverse determination upon review of an appeal filed under Paragraph 6. 

For purposes of these Procedures, an adverse determination shall mean determination of a claim resulting in a denial, reduction, or termination of a benefit under a Plan, or the failure to provide or make payment (in whole or in part) of a benefit or any form of benefit under a Plan.  Adverse determinations shall include denials, reductions, etc. based on the claimant’s lack of eligibility to participate in the relevant Plan.  All decisions made by the Plan Administrator under these Procedures shall be summarized in a report to be maintained in the files of the Plan Administrator.  The report shall include reference to the applicable governing Plan provision(s) and, where applicable, reference to prior determinations of claims involving similarly situated claimants.

6.    Appeal of Claim Denials - Appeals Committee.  A claimant who has received an adverse determination of all or part of a claim shall have 60 days from the date of such receipt to contest the denial by filing an appeal.  An appeal must be in writing and delivered to the Plan Administrator.  An appeal will be considered timely only if actually received by the Plan Administrator within the 60-day period or, if sent by mail, postmarked within the 60-day period.  The timely review will be completed by the Appeals Committee and should be sent to:
Appeals Committee
State Street Corporation
c/o Vice President, GHR-U.S. Benefits Planning
One Lincoln Street, 14th Floor
Boston, MA 02111

The Appeals Committee shall meet at such times and places as it considers appropriate, shall keep a record of such meetings and shall periodically report its deliberations to the Plan Administrator.  Such reports shall include the basis upon which the appeal was determined and, where applicable, reference to prior determinations of claims involving similarly situated claimants.  The vote of a majority of the members of the Appeals Committee shall decide any question brought before the Appeals Committee.
7.    Consideration of Appeals.  The Appeals Committee shall make an independent decision as to the claim based on a full and fair review of the record.  The Appeals Committee shall take into account in its deliberations all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant, whether submitted in connection with the appeal or in connection with the original claim, and may, but need not, hold a hearing in connection with its consideration of the appeal.  The Appeals Committee shall consider an appeal within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 60 days after receipt of the appeal, unless the Appeals Committee determines that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time.  If the Appeals Committee determines that an extension of time is required, it will cause written notice of the extension, including a description of the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Appeals Committee expects to render the determination on review, to be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.  In no event shall an extension exceed a period of 60 days from the end of the initial period; provided, that in the case of any extension of time required by the failure of the claimant to submit information necessary for the Appeals Committee to consider the appeal, the period of time in which the appeal is required to be considered under this Paragraph 7 shall be tolled from the date on which notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the Appeals Committee’s request for additional information.

8.    Resolution of Appeal.  Notice of the Appeals Committee’s determination with respect to an appeal shall be communicated to the claimant in writing by registered or certified mail posted within the time period described in Paragraph 7.  If the determination is adverse, such notice shall include:
		
	a)
	the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination, 

		
	b)
	reference to the specific plan provisions on which the adverse determination was based, 

		
	c)
	reference to and a copy of these Procedures, so as to provide the claimant with a description of the claimant’s rights regarding documentation as described in Paragraph 9, and

		
	d)
	a statement of the claimant’s rights under Section 502(a) of ERISA to bring a civil action with respect to the adverse determination. 

9.    Certain Information.  In connection with the determination of a claim or appeal, a claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim and may request 

(in writing) copies of any documents, records and other information relevant to the claim.  An item shall be deemed relevant to a claim if it:
		
	a)
	was relied on in determining the claim, 

		
	b)
	was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making such determination (whether or not actually relied on), or

		
	c)
	demonstrates that such determination was made in accordance with governing Plan documents (including, for this purpose, these Procedures) and that, where appropriate, Plan provisions have been applied consistently with similarly situated claimants. 

The Plan Administrator shall furnish free of charge copies of all relevant documents, records and other information so requested; provided, that nothing in these Procedures shall obligate State Street Corporation ("State Street"), the Plan Administrator, or any person or committee to disclose any document, record or information that is subject to a privilege (including, without limitation, the attorney-client privilege) or the disclosure of which would, in the Plan Administrator’s judgment, violate any law or regulation.
10.    Rights of a Claimant Where Appeal is Denied.  
		
	a)
	The claimant’s actual entitlement, if any, to bring suit and the scope of and other rules pertaining to any such suit shall be governed by, and subject to the limitations of, applicable law, including ERISA.  By extending to an employee or former employee the right to file a claim under these Procedures, neither State Street nor any person or committee appointed as Plan Administrator acknowledges or concedes that such individual is a participant in any particular Plan within the meaning of such Plan or ERISA, and reserves the right to assert that an individual is not a participant in any action brought under Section 502(a).

		
	b)
	In no event may any legal proceeding regarding entitlement to benefits or any aspect of benefits under the Plan be commenced later than the earliest of 

i)two years after the applicable Notice Date; or 
ii)one year after the date a claimant receives a decision from the Appeals Committee regarding his appeal, or 
iii)the date otherwise prescribed by applicable law.
		
	c)
	Before any legal proceeding can be brought, a participant must exhaust the claim appeals procedures as set forth herein.

11.    Special Rules Regarding Disability.  Certain benefits under the Plans are contingent upon an individual’s incurring a disability.  Where a claim requires a determination by State Street as to whether an individual is “disabled” as defined under the Plan, the additional rules set forth in Schedule 1 to these Procedures shall apply to the claim.  However, where disabled status is based upon actual entitlement to benefits under a separate plan in which the individual participates or is otherwise covered, the determination of such status for purposes of each Plan shall be made under such separate disability plan, and any claims or disputes as to disabled status under such plan or program shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures established for that purpose under the separate plan or program. 

12.    Authorized Representation.  A claimant may authorize an individual to represent him/her with respect to a claim or appeal made under these Procedures.  Any such authorization shall be in writing, shall clearly identify the name and address of the individual, and shall be delivered to the Plan Administrator at the address listed in Paragraph 3.  On receipt of a letter of authorization, all parties authorized to act under these Procedures shall be entitled to rely on such authorization, until similarly revoked by the claimant.  While an authorization is in effect, all notices and communications to be 

provided to the claimant under these Procedures shall also be provided to his/her authorized representative.

13.    Form of Communications.  Unless otherwise specified above, any claim, appeal, notice, determination, request, or other communication made under these Procedures shall be in writing, with original signed copy delivered by hand or first class mail (including registered or certified mail).  A copy or advance delivery of any such claim, appeal, notice, determination, request, or other communication may be made by electronic mail or facsimile.  Any such electronic or facsimile communication, however, shall be for the convenience of the parties only and not in substitution of a writing required to be mailed or delivered under these Procedures, and receipt or delivery of any such claim, appeal, notice, determination, request, or other written communication shall not be considered to have been made until the actual posting or receipt of original signed copy, as the case may be.

14.    Reliance on Outside Counsel, Consultants, etc.  The Plan Administrator and the Appeals Committee may rely on or take into account advice or information provided by such legal, accounting, actuarial, consulting or other professionals as may be selected in determining a claim or appeal, including those individuals and firms that may render advice to State Street or the Plans from time to time.

15.    Amendment of Procedures - Interpretation.  These Procedures may be modified at any time and from time to time by written action of the Plan Administrator and shall be deemed automatically modified to incorporate any requirement attributable to a change in the applicable Department of Labor regulations after the date hereof.  The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion to interpret and apply these Procedures, including, for purposes of applying these Procedures, such regulations.  Further, nothing in these Procedures shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Plan Administrator or its designee to interpret the Plans or, subject to the right of appeal of an adverse determination, the finality of the decision of the Plan Administrator or its designee, all as set forth in the Plans. 

Schedule 1
Special Rules Regarding Certain 
Disability Claims

Pursuant to Paragraph 11 in the Claims Procedures, the following special rules supplement the Claims Procedures and apply only in the case of a claim (“Disability Claim”) which requires a determination by State Street as to whether an individual is “disabled” as defined under the Plan.  
Time to Process Claims.  The Plan Administrator will process and inform the claimant of the determination of the Disability Claim in accordance with Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Claims Procedures, except that a period of 45 days shall apply instead of the initial 90 days in which to process and determine the Disability Claim.  This period may be extended initially by the Plan Administrator for 30 days if the claimant is notified before the end of the original 45-day period that the extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.  This 30-day extension period may be extended by the Plan Administrator for an additional 30 days if the claimant is notified before the end of the first 30-day extension that the extension is necessary due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.  Any notice of an extension will explain the reason for the extension, when the Plan Administrator expects to rule on the Disability Claim, the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the Disability Claim, and any additional information needed to resolve those issues.  If the claimant is informed that he/she needs to provide additional information necessary to resolve Disability Claim issues, the claimant will have 45 days from the date he/she receives the extension notice to provide the additional information. 
Determination of Claim and Notice of Determination.  If disabled status is based on eligibility for benefits under a long-term disability plan maintained by State Street, the Plan Administrator will determine which long-term disability plan is the applicable plan for the claimant, and whether the claimant would be certified as disabled under such long-term disability plan by applying the standards and definitions used in the long-term disability plan.  The Plan Administrator may require and rely on the written report or certification from a licensed physician selected or approved by the Plan Administrator.  In addition to the requirements of Paragraph 5 in the Claims Procedures, any written notice of an adverse determination of a Disability Claim will include a copy of any internal rules, guidelines, protocols, or other similar criteria that were relied on in the decision-making, or a statement that the determination was based on the applicable items mentioned above, and that copies of the applicable items will be provided, free of charge, on the claimant’s request.  In addition, if the adverse determination is based on a medical necessity, experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, the notice will contain an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment used in the determination, applying the terms of the relevant long-term disability plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided, free of charge, upon the claimant’s request.
Appeal of a Claim Denial.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 6 of the Claims Procedures, a claimant who has received an adverse determination of all or part of a Disability Claim shall have 180 days from the date of receipt to appeal the denial (“Disability Appeal”).  Notwithstanding Paragraph 7 of the Claims Procedures, review of a Disability Appeal will be conducted by the Appeals Committee without deference to the initial adverse benefit determination by the Plan Administrator, and no member of the Appeals Committee will participate in the review of a Disability Claim if such member made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the Disability Appeal or is the subordinate of the person who made such determinations.
If the adverse determination was based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, 

investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, the Appeals Committee shall consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment and who was not consulted in connection with the initial claim denial (and who is not the subordinate of any such person).  Any medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained will be identified, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination.  Notwithstanding Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Claims Procedures, the Appeals Committee shall consider and communicate its determination with respect to a Disability Appeal within a reasonable time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of the Disability Appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension for processing, in which case a decision will be made within a 45-day extension period. 
Resolution of Appeal.  In addition to the information required by Paragraph 8 of the Claims Procedures, any written notice by the Appeals Committee of an adverse determination on a Disability Appeal will include a description of any specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, or other similar criteria that were relied on in making the decision, or a statement that the decision was based on the applicable items mentioned above, and copies of the applicable items will be provided, free of charge, upon the claimant’s request.  In addition, if the adverse determination of the Disability Appeal is based on a medical necessity, experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, the notice will contain an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment used in the determination, applying the terms of the relevant long-term disability plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided, free of charge, at the claimant’s request.mm-EXH_101

			4.OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES.
		

		
			4.1Other Employment/Enterprise.  Except with the prior written consent of the Board, Executive will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise, other than those in which Executive is a passive investor.  Executive may engage in limited advisory relationships with and serve on the boards of other companies (provided such companies are not in competitive markets), scientific research, scholarly writing and publications, and civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.
		

		
			4.2Conflicting Interests.  Except as permitted by Section 4.3, while employed by the Company, Executive agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by Executive to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business or prospects, financial or otherwise.
		

		
			4.3Competing Enterprises.  While employed by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, Executive will not directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by or have any business connection with any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever which were known by Executive to compete directly with the Company, throughout the world, in any line of business engaged in (or then currently planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that anything above to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of any public competitor corporation, so long as Executive’s direct holdings in any one such corporation shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 2% of the voting stock of such corporation.
		

		
			5.FORMER EMPLOYMENT.
		

		
			5.1No Conflict With Existing Obligations.  Executive represents that Executive’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an Executive of the Company do not and will not materially breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to Executive’s employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations Executive may have with prior employers or entities for which Executive has provided services.  Executive has not entered into, and agrees Executive will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.
		

		
			5.2No Disclosure of Confidential Information.   If, in spite of Section 5.1, Executive should find that confidential information belonging to any former employer might be usable in connection with the Company’s business, Executive will not intentionally disclose to the Company or use on behalf of the Company any confidential information belonging to any of Executive’s former employers (except in accordance with agreements between the Company and any such former employer); but during Executive’s employment by the Company Executive will use in the performance of Executive’s duties all information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s own and all information which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain.

			6.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  The parties acknowledge that Executive’s employment relationship with the Company is at-will.  Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause.  The provisions of Sections 6.1 through 6.6 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status.
		

		
			6.1Termination by the Company Without Cause.
		

		
			(a)The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 6.2(b) below) by giving notice as described in Section 6.6 of this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)In the event Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause, then provided that the Executive executes a general release in favor of the Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), which Release is effective as of the date required by the Release agreement, but in no event later than 60 days following Executive’s separation from service (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), and without regard to any alternate definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), and subject to Section 6.1(c), then:
		

		
			(i)the Company shall continue to pay Executive as severance Executive’s then-effective Base Salary for a period of the first six (6) monthsfollowing Executive’s Separation from Service (the “Severance Period”), less applicable withholdings and deductions, on the Company’s regular payroll dates; 
		

		
			(ii)if Executive is participating in the Company’s group health insurance plans on the Separation from Service, and Executive timely elects and remains eligible for continued coverage under COBRA, or, if applicable, state insurance laws, the Company shall pay that portion of Executive’s COBRA premiums that the Company was paying prior to the Separation from Service for the Severance Period or for the continuation period for which Executive is eligible, whichever is shorter (such shorter period, the “COBRA Payment Period”).  The Company’s COBRA premium payment obligation will end immediately if the Executive obtains health care insurance from any other source during the Severance Period.  However, if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including, without limitation, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the Company’s portion of the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay Executive, on the first day of each month of the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the portion of the COBRA premiums that the Company was paying prior to the date of Executive’s Separation from Service for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions.
		

		
			(c)The Company will not make any payments to Executive with respect to any of the benefits pursuant to Section 6.1(b) prior to the 60th day following

		Executive’s Separation from Service. On the 60th day following Executive’s Separation from Service, and provided that Executive has delivered an effective Release, the Company will make the first payment to Executive under Section 6.1(b) in a lump sum equal to the aggregate amount of payments that the Company would have paid Executive through such date had the payments commenced on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service through such 60th day, with the balance of the payments paid thereafter on the schedule described above, subject to any delay in payment required by Section 7.11.
		

		
			(d)The benefits provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.
		

		
			6.2Termination by the Company for Cause.
		

		
			(a)The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for Cause by giving notice as described in Section 6.6 of this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)“Cause” for termination shall mean:  (i) Executive’s commission of any act constituting a felony or a crime involving fraud or moral turpitude; (ii) Executive’s wrongful act or omission which results in material harm to the Company; (iii) Executive’s willful violation of any material Company policy that has, prior to any alleged violation, been communicated in writing to the Executive, and which results in material harm to the Company; (iv) Executive’s material breach of any written agreement between the Executive and the Company which results in material harm to the Company; (v) Executive’s conduct that demonstrates gross unfitness to serve the Company as determined in the sole discretion of the Board; or (vi) breach of fiduciary duty by Executive which results in an improper benefit to Executive or material harm to the Company, its shareholders, or their respective interests.
		

		
			(c)In the event Executive’s employment is terminated at any time for Cause, Executive will not be entitled to receive severance pay or any other such severance compensation, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay to Executive the accrued but unpaid salary of Executive through the date of termination, together with all compensation and benefits payable to Executive through the date of termination under any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement during such period.
		

		
			6.3Resignation by the Executive.
		

		
			(a)Executive may resign from Executive’s employment with the Company at any time by giving notice as described in Section 6.6.
		

		
			(b)In the event Executive resigns from Executive’s employment with the Company (other than for Good Reason as set forth in Section 6.4), Executive will not receive severance pay or any other such severance compensation, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay to Executive the accrued but unpaid salary of 
		

		 

		

			5

		

		

			 

		

 

		Executive through the date of resignation, together with all compensation and benefits payable to Executive through the date of resignation under any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement during such period.
		

		
			6.4Resignation by the Executive for Good Reason.
		

		
			(a)Provided Executive has not previously been notified of the Company’s intention to terminate Executive’s employment, the Executive may resign from Executive’s employment for “Good Reason” within sixty (60) days after the initial occurrence of one of the events specified in Section 6.4(b) below, by giving notice as described in Section 6.6 of this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)“Good Reason”  for resignation shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s prior written consent:  (i) a material diminution of Executive’s authority, responsibilities or duties; provided,  however, that the acquisition of the Company and subsequent conversion of the Company to a division or unit of the acquiring company will not by itself result in a diminution of Executive’s responsibilities or duties; (ii) a material diminution by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary; (iii) the relocation of the Company’s principal offices to a location outside the Baltimore metropolitan area or the Company’s requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than the Company’s principal offices in Baltimore, MD or (iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company;  provided, that prior to any termination for Good Reason pursuant this Section 6.4(b), the Executive shall first provide the Board reasonable written notice within thirty (30) days of the initial occurrence of one of the events specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 6.4(b), setting forth the reasons that the Executive believes exist that give rise to “Good Reason” for resignation, stating that the Company shall have thirty (30) business days to cure such “Good Reason”, and the “Good Reason” has not been cured by the Company within thirty (30) business days after such notice has been delivered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any actions taken by the Company to accommodate a disability of the Executive or pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act shall not be a Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement.
		

		
			(c)In the event Executive resigns from Executive’s employment for Good Reason, and subject to Section 6.4(d), the Executive shall be entitled to receive the same payments and benefits as Executive would receive under Section 6.1 had Executive been terminated by the Company without Cause, provided that Executive executes a Release in favor of the Company that meets the criteria specified in Section 6.1(b) and that Executive’s receipt of the payments and benefits are subject to all the terms and conditions of Section 6.1(c).
		

		
			(d)Executive shall not receive any of the benefits pursuant to Section 6.4(c) unless and until the Release becomes effective and can no longer be revoked by Executive under its terms.
		

		
			(e)The benefits provided to the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.4 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.
		

		 

		

			6

		

		

			 

		

 

		
			6.5Termination by Virtue of Death or Disability of the Executive.
		

		
			(a)In the event of Executive’s death during the term of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate immediately, and the Company shall, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, pay to the Executive’s legal representatives Executive’s accrued but unpaid salary through the date of death together with all compensation and benefits payable to Executive through the date of death under any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement during such period
		

		
			(b)Subject to applicable state and federal law, the Company shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate this Agreement based on the Executive’s Disability (as defined below).  Termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position with or without accommodation due to a disability (as such term is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act) for six months in the aggregate during any twelve month period. This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act and other applicable law.  In the event Executive’s employment is terminated based on the Executive’s Disability, Executive will not receive severance pay or any other such compensation; provided, however, the Company shall, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, pay to Executive the accrued but unpaid salary of Executive through the date of termination, together with all compensation and benefits payable to Executive through the date of termination under any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement during such period.
		

		
			6.6Notice; Effective Date of Termination.

			(ii)immediately after the Company gives written notice to Executive of Executive’s termination for Cause;
		

		
			(iii)immediately upon the Executive’s death;
		

		
			(iv)thirty (30) days after the Company gives written notice to Executive of Executive’s termination on account of Executive’s Disability, unless the Company specifies a later date, in which case, termination shall be effective as of such later date, provided, that Executive has not returned to the full time performance of Executive’s duties prior to such date; 
		

		
			(v)thirty (30) days after the Executive gives written notice to the Company of Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, unless the Company agrees to a 
		

		 

		

			7

		

		

			 

		

 

		different date at any time between the date of notice and the date of resignation, in which case the Executive’s resignation shall be effective as of such other date; or
		

		
			(vi)upon the end of the thirty (30) day cure period as provided in Section 6.4(b) above (in the case of a resignation for Good Reason), if the “Good Reason” has not been cured by the Company within such thirty (30) day cure period and Executive otherwise fully complies with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4(b) above, unless the Company agrees to a different date at any time between the date of notice and the date of resignation, in which case the Executive’s resignation shall be effective as of such other date.  
		

		
			(b)Executive will receive compensation through any required notice period in the event of termination for any reason.  However, the Company reserves the right to require that the Executive not perform any services or report to work during any required notice period.

			7.3Waiver.  If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, Executive or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
		

		
			7.4Complete Agreement.

This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and agreements.  This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any 
		

		 

		

			8

		

		

			 

		

 

		promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. 
		

		
			7.5Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.
		

		
			7.6Headings.  The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.
		

		
			7.7Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and the Company, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, except that Executive may not assign any of Executive’s duties hereunder and Executive may not assign any of Executive’s rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company.
		

		
			7.8Survival.  Executive’s obligations under the Proprietary Information Agreement shall survive termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, as provided therein.
		

		
			7.9Choice of Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Maryland.
		

		
			7.10Resolution of Disputes.

The parties acknowledge and agree that their obligations under this arbitration agreement survive the termination of this Agreement and continue after the termination of the employment relationship between Executive and the Company.    
		

		
			7.11Application of Section 409A.  It is intended that all of the benefits provided under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5), and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. To the extent not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions in this Agreement) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A, and incorporates by reference all required definitions 
		

		 

		

			9

		

		

			 

		

 

		and payment terms. For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement (or under any other arrangement with Executive) that constitute “deferred compensation” shall not commence in connection with Executive’s termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred a Separation from Service.  If the Company determines that any of the payments or benefits upon a Separation from Service provided under this Agreement (or under any other arrangement with Executive) constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and if Executive is a “specified employee” of the Company (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) at the time of his Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the payments upon a Separation from Service will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six months and one day after the effective date of Executive’s Separation from Service, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company will (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments upon Separation from Service that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payments had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 7.11, and (B) begin paying the balance of the payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth above. No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.
		

		
			7.12Golden Parachute Excise Tax.  The Company and Executive agree that Executive’s execution of a non-competition agreement is a material inducement to the severance payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement, and the Company further agrees such severance payments and benefits are payable on account of such non-competition agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or other similar transaction (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” will be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount ((x) or (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  If a Reduced Amount will give rise to the greater after tax benefit, the reduction in the Payments will occur in the following order: (a) reduction of cash payments; (b) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (c) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (d) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive.  Within any such category of payments and benefits (that is, (a), (b), (c) or (d)), a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of

Any good faith determinations of the independent registered public accounting firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.
		

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Key Employee Agreement on the Effective Date.
