STATE STREET CORPORATION
2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
1.Purpose
The purpose of this 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of State Street Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), is to advance the interests of the Company’s shareholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of the Company’s shareholders.  Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include any of the Company’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations thereunder (the “Code”) and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
2.    Eligibility
All of the Company’s employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors to the Company (as the terms consultants and advisors are defined and interpreted for purposes of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any successor form) are eligible to be granted Awards (as defined below) under the Plan.  Each person who is granted an Award under the Plan is deemed a “Participant.”  The Plan provides for the following types of awards, each of which is referred to as an “Award”:  Options (as defined in Section 5), SARs (as defined in Section 6), Restricted Stock (as defined in Section 7), RSUs (as defined in Section 7) and Other Stock-Based Awards (as defined in Section 8).  Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award.  The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.  
3.    Administration and Delegation
(a)    Administration by Board of Directors.  The Plan will be administered by the Board.  The Board shall have authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable.  The Board may construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award agreements entered into under the Plan.  The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award.  All actions and decisions by the Board with respect to the Plan and any Awards shall be made in the Board’s discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award.

(b)    Appointment of Committees.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a “Committee”).  All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee.  During such time as the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members, each member of which shall be an independent director under applicable stock exchange rules, an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 162(m)”) and a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
(c)    Delegation of Granting and Other Authority.  The Board or a Committee may delegate to (1) one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine; (2) to one or more officers of the Company the power and authority to grant or to allocate, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws and subject to such limitations under the Plan or as the Board or the Committee may impose, Awards among such persons (other than to any “executive officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or to any “officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act)) eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as such delegated member or members of the Board or the Committee or officer or officers of the Company determine consistent with such delegation; and (3) to such employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate.  In the event of any delegation described in the preceding sentence, references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the delegate to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such person.
(d)    Awards to Non-Employee Directors.  Awards to non-employee directors will be granted and administered by a Committee, all of the members of which are independent directors as defined by Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. 
4.    Stock Available for Awards
(a)    Number of Shares; Share Counting.
(1)    Authorized Number of Shares.  Awards may be made under the Plan (any or all of which Awards may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 5(b)) for such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the sum of:
(A) 8,300,000 shares of Common Stock; plus

(B)  such additional number of shares of Common Stock (up to 28,500,000 shares) as is equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Existing Plan”) that remain available for grant under the Existing 

-2-

Plan immediately prior to the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the Existing Plan which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitations of the Code).  
Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. 
(2)    Share Counting.  For purposes of counting the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan under this Section 4(a) and under the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2): 
(A)    all shares of Common Stock covered by SARs shall be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2);  provided, however, that (i) SARs that may be settled only in cash shall not be so counted and (ii) if the Company grants an SAR in tandem with an Option for the same number of shares of Common Stock and provides that only one such Award may be exercised (a “Tandem SAR”), only the shares covered by the Option, and not the shares covered by the Tandem SAR, shall be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other’s exercise will not restore shares to the Plan; 
(B)    if any Award (i) expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right), or (ii) results in any Common Stock not being issued (including as result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash), the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards.  Further, shares of Common Stock delivered (either by actual delivery, attestation or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to exercise an Award or to satisfy any tax withholding obligations in accordance with Section 11(d) (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock available for the future grant of Awards, provided that no more than the number of shares used to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding obligation shall be added back to the Plan pursuant to this section 4(a)(2)(B). However, (1) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing shall be subject to any limitations under the Code, (2) in the case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2) shall be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle such SAR upon exercise and (3) the shares covered by a Tandem SAR shall not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of such Tandem SAR; and 

-3-

(C)    shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Awards.
(b)    Sublimits.  Subject to adjustment under Section 10, the following sublimits on the number of shares subject to Awards shall apply:
(1)    Section 162(m) Per-Participant Limits.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in any calendar year shall each be 2,000,000, and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000.  The per-Participant limits described in this Section 4(b)(1) shall be construed and applied consistently with Section 162(m). 
(2)     Limit Applicable to Non-Employee Directors.   In any calendar year, the  sum of cash compensation paid to any non-employee director for service as a director (“Director Cash Compensation”) and the value of Awards under the Plan made to such non-employee director (calculated based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes) (“Director Equity Compensation”) shall not exceed $1,500,000.  The Board may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.  For purposes of this Section 4(b)(2), Director Cash Compensation and Director Equity Compensation in any calendar year shall include any amounts or grants that would have been paid or made, as applicable, to a particular non-employee director absent such director’s election to defer such compensation pursuant to any arrangement or plan of the Company permitting deferral of such compensation.
(c)    Substitute Awards.  In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof.  Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan.  Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a)(1) or any sublimits contained in the Plan, except as may be required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.
5.    Stock Options  
(a)    General.  The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as the Board considers necessary or advisable.  

-4-

(b)    Incentive Stock Options.  An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall only be granted to employees of State Street Corporation, any of State Street Corporation’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code, and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.  An Option that is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be designated a “Nonstatutory Stock Option.”  The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other person, if an Option (or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option or if the Company converts an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
(c)    Exercise Price.  The Board shall establish the exercise price of each Option or the formula by which such exercise price will be determined.  The exercise price shall be specified in the applicable Option agreement. The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided that if the Board approves the grant of an Option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value on such future date.  “Grant Date Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the Plan will be determined as follows:
(1)    if the Common Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price (for the primary trading session) on the date of grant; or
(2)    if the Common Stock does not trade on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as reported by an authorized OTCBB market data vendor as listed on the OTCBB website (otcbb.com) on the date of grant; or
(3)    if the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Board will determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value for purposes of the Plan using any measure of value it determines to be appropriate (including, as it considers appropriate, relying on appraisals) in a manner consistent with the valuation principles under Code Section 409A, except as the Board may expressly determine otherwise.
For any date that is not a trading day, the Grant Date Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for such date will be determined by using the closing sale price or average of the bid and asked prices, as appropriate, for the immediately preceding trading day and with the timing in the formulas above adjusted accordingly.  The Board can substitute a particular time of day or other measure of “closing sale price” or “bid and asked prices” if appropriate because of exchange or market procedures or can, in its sole discretion, use weighted averages either on a daily basis or such longer period as complies with Code Section 409A.
The Board has sole discretion to determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value for purposes of the Plan, and all Awards are conditioned on the participants’ agreement that the Board’s determination is conclusive and binding even though others might make a different determination.

-5-

(d)    Duration of Options.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable Option agreement; provided, however, that no Option will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years.
(e)    Exercise of Options.  Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form (which may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with payment in full (in the manner specified in Section 5(f)) of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised.  Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be delivered by the Company as soon as practicable following exercise.
(f)    Payment Upon Exercise.  Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows:
(1)    in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company;
(2)    except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding;
(3)    to the extent provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), provided (i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for such minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Board and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements;
(4)    to the extent provided for in the applicable Nonstatutory Stock Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (i) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised, less (ii) such number of shares as is equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (B) the fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) on the date of exercise;
(5)    to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or
(6)    by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.

-6-

(g)    Limitation on Repricing.  Unless such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 10):  (1) amend any outstanding Option granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such outstanding Option, (2) cancel any outstanding option (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(c)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the canceled option, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding Option with an exercise price per share above the then-current fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. 
(h)    No Reload Options.  No Option granted under the Plan shall contain any provision entitling the Participant to the automatic grant of additional Options in connection with any exercise of the original Option.
6.    Stock Appreciation Rights
(a)    General.  The Board may grant Awards consisting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount of Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof (such form to be determined by the Board) determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) over the measurement price established pursuant to Section 6(b).  The date as of which such appreciation is determined shall be the exercise date.  
(b)    Measurement Price.  The Board shall establish the measurement price of each SAR and specify it in the applicable SAR agreement.  The measurement price shall not be less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted; provided that if the Board approves the grant of an SAR effective as of a future date, the measurement price shall be not less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value on such future date.
(c)    Duration of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each SAR shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable SAR agreement; provided, however, that no SAR will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years.
(d)    Exercise of SARs.  SARs may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form (which may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with any other documents required by the Board.
(e)    Limitation on Repricing.  Unless such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 10):  (1) amend any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan to provide a measurement price per share that is lower 

-7-

than the then-current measurement price per share of such outstanding SAR, (2) cancel any outstanding SAR (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(c)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having a measurement price per share lower than the then-current measurement price per share of the cancelled SAR, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding SAR with a measurement price per share above the then-current fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE.
(f)    No Reload SARs.  No SAR granted under the Plan shall contain any provision entitling the Participant to the automatic grant of additional SARs in connection with any exercise of the original SAR. 
7.    Restricted Stock; RSUs
(a)    General.  The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”), subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Award.  The Board may also grant Awards entitling the recipient to receive shares of Common Stock or cash to be delivered at the time such Award vests or is settled by the Company (“RSUs”).
(b)    Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock and RSUs.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of Restricted Stock and RSUs, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any.  
(c)    Stock Certificates; Dividends.  The Company may require that any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, as well as dividends or distributions paid on such Restricted Stock, shall be deposited in escrow by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee).  At the expiration of the applicable vesting, forfeiture and / or restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions as well as any dividends or other distributions to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to his or her Designated Beneficiary.  “Designated Beneficiary” means (i) the beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or (ii) in the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, the Participant’s estate.
(d)    Additional Provisions Relating to RSUs.
(1)    Settlement.  Upon the vesting of and/or lapsing of any other restrictions (i.e., settlement) with respect to each RSU, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Award agreement or (if so 

-8-

provided in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise determined by the Board) an amount of cash equal to the fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) of such number of shares or a combination thereof.  The Board may provide that settlement of RSUs shall be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the Participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”).
(2)    Voting Rights.  A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any RSUs.
8.    Other Stock-Based Awards
(a)    General.  The Board may grant other Awards of shares of Common Stock, and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock or other property (“Other Stock-Based Awards”).  Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled.  Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as the Board shall determine. 
(b)    Terms and Conditions.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock-Based Award, including any purchase price applicable thereto.  
9.    Performance Awards.
(a)    Grants.  Restricted Stock, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan may be made subject to the achievement of performance goals pursuant to this Section 9 (“Performance Awards”).  
(b)    Committee.  Grants of Performance Awards to any Covered Employee (as defined below) intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) (“Performance-Based Compensation”) shall be made only by a Committee (or a subcommittee of a Committee) comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m).  In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the Board or to a Committee shall be treated as referring to such Committee (or subcommittee).  “Covered Employee” shall mean any person who is, or whom the Committee, in its discretion, determines may be, a “covered employee” under Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.
(c)    Performance Measures.  For any Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall specify that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures established by the Committee, which shall be based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following, which may be 

-9-

determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or on a non-GAAP basis, as determined by the Committee (the “Performance Measures”):
	
			
	i) earnings or earnings per share
ii) return on equity
iii) return on assets
iv) return on capital
v) cost of capital
vi) total stockholder return
vii) revenue
viii) market share
ix) quality/service
x) organizational development
xi) strategic initiatives (including acquisitions or dispositions)
	 
	xii) risk control
xiii) expense
xiv) operating leverage
xv) operating fee leverage
xvi) capital ratios
xvii) liquidity ratios
xviii) income
xix) comprehensive capital analysis and review (CCAR)
xx) other regulatory-related metric

Such goals may reflect absolute entity or business unit performance or a relative comparison to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated.  The Performance Measures:  (x) may vary by Participant and may be different for different Awards; (y) may be particular to a Participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the Participant works and may cover such period as may be specified by the Committee; and (z) shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m).  Awards that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be based on these or such other performance measures as the Board may determine.
(d)    Adjustments to Performance Measures.  The Committee may provide, no later than the deadline for establishing the Performance Measures for a year, that one or more of the Performance Measures applicable to an Award or Awards for such year will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without limitation, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, expenses associated with acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, amortization of purchased intangibles associated with acquisitions, impact (dilution and expenses) of securities issuances (debt or equity) to finance, or in contemplation of, acquisitions or ventures, merger and integration expenses, changes in accounting principles or interpretations, changes in tax law or financial regulatory law, impairment charges, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, charges for restructuring or rationalization programs (e.g., cost of workforce reductions, facilities or lease abandonments, asset impairments), one-time insurance claims payments, extraordinary and/or non-recurring items, litigation, regulatory matter or tax rate changes) occurring during the year that affect the applicable Performance Measure.
(e)    Adjustments to Performance-Based Compensation.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the number of shares payable pursuant to such Award, and the Committee may not waive the 

-10-

achievement of the applicable performance measures except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant or a change in control of the Company.
(f)    Other.  The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Performance Awards as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for Performance-Based Compensation.  With respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with qualifying such Award for such exception.  With respect to such Performance Awards, the Committee will preestablish, in writing, one or more specific performance measures no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Performance Award as Performance-Based Compensation).  Prior to grant, vesting or payment of such Performance Award, as the case may be, the Committee will certify whether the applicable performance measures have been attained and such determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be granted after the first meeting of the shareholders of the Company held in 2022 until the performance measures set forth in Section 9(c) (as originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and reapproved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m), unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval. 
10.    Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events
(a)    Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under the Plan, (ii) the share counting rules and sublimits set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b), (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding Option, (iv) the share and per-share provisions and the measurement price of each outstanding SAR, (v) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding award of Restricted Stock and (vi) the share and per-share-related provisions and the purchase price, if any, of each outstanding RSU and each Other Stock-Based Award, shall be equitably adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) in the manner determined by the Board.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding Option are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.  
(b)    Covered Transactions and Change in Control.

-11-

(1)    Definitions.  
		
	(i)
	A “Covered Transaction” shall mean:

		
	(A)
	a consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of stock, in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert; 

		
	(B)
	a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or

		
	(C)

	(C)

-13-

substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (II) no Person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed with respect to the Company prior to the Business Combination and (III) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or
		
	(D)

provided, that, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, where applicable, an event described above shall be treated as a Change in Control only if it also constitutes or results in a change in ownership or control of the Company, or a change in ownership of assets of the Company, described in Section 409A. 
		
	(iii)
	 “Cause” shall mean:

		
	(A)
	If the Participant is party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company that contains a definition of “Cause,” that definition shall apply for purposes of the Plan. 

-14-

		
	(B)
	Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean any (I) willful failure by the Participant, which failure is not cured within 30 days of written notice to the Participant from the Company, to perform his or her material responsibilities to the Company or (II) willful misconduct by the Participant which is materially injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this definition of “Cause,” reference to the “Company” shall include the acquiror or survivor (or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor) in the applicable Change in Control.
		
	(iv)
	“Good Reason” shall mean:

		
	(A)
	If the Participant is party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company that contains a definition of “Good Reason,” that definition shall apply for purposes of the Plan. 

		
	(B)
	Otherwise, “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s duties, authority, or responsibilities from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or any material reduction in the base compensation payable to the Participant from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or the relocation of the place of business at which the Participant is principally located to a location that is greater than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (I) the Participant gives the Company the notice of termination no more than 90 days after the initial existence of such event or circumstance, (II) such event or circumstance has not been fully corrected and the Participant has not been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of such notice and (III) the Participant’s termination of Employment occurs within six months following the Company’s receipt of such notice. 

-15-

For purposes of this definition of “Good Reason,” reference to the “Company” shall include the acquiror or survivor (or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor) in the applicable Change in Control.
		
	(v)
	“Employment” shall mean a Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries. Employment will be deemed to continue, unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity described in Section 1 to the Company or its subsidiaries.  If a Participant’s employment or other service relationship is with a subsidiary of the Company and that entity ceases to be a subsidiary, the Participant’s Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be subsidiary of the Company unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining subsidiaries. 

(2)    Effect on Awards.  
		
	(i)
	Covered Transactions.  Except as otherwise provided in an Award, the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Covered Transaction:

		
	(A)
	Assumption or Substitution.  If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Board may provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor.

		
	(B)
	Cash-Out of Awards.  If the Covered Transaction is one in which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Board may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case 

-16-

on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Common Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Board determines.
		
	(C)
	Acceleration of Certain Awards.  If the Covered Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or cash-out, each Award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, each Award of Restricted Stock will become fully vested and the delivery of shares of Common Stock deliverable under each outstanding award of RSUs, Performance Awards (to the extent consisting of RSUs) and Other Stock-Based Awards will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the Covered Transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Board, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a shareholder in the Covered Transaction.

		
	(D)
	Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction.  Each Award (unless assumed or substituted pursuant to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (which shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of Common Stock, subject to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(E) below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered Transaction.

		
	(E)
	Additional Limitations.  Any share of Common Stock delivered pursuant to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) or Section 10(b)(2)(i)(C) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Board, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Board may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Common Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such 

-17-

restrictions as the Board deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.
		
	(ii)
	Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control:

		
	(A)
	Acceleration of Options and SARs; Effect on Other Awards. If, on or prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of the Change in Control, the Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company, all Options and SARs outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is consummated and which are not then exercisable shall become exercisable to the full extent of the original grant, all shares of Restricted Stock which are not otherwise vested shall vest, and Performance Awards granted hereunder shall vest to the extent set forth in the applicable Award agreement.  

		
	(B)
	Restriction on Application of Plan Provisions Applicable in the Event of Termination of Employment.  After a Change of Control, Options and SARs granted under Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) as substitution for existing Awards shall remain exercisable following a termination of Employment (other than termination by reason of death, disability (as determined by the Company) or retirement (as defined in the Award)) for the  lesser of (I) a period of seven (7) months, or (II) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could otherwise have been exercised.

		
	(C)
	Restriction on Amendment.  In connection with or following a Change in Control, the Board may not impose additional conditions upon exercise or otherwise amend or restrict any Award, or amend the terms of the Plan in any manner adverse to the holder thereof, without the written consent of such holder. 

11.    General Provisions Applicable to Awards
(a)    Transferability of Awards.  Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by a Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, 

-18-

except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant; provided, however, that, except with respect to Awards subject to Section 409A, the Board may permit or provide in an Award for the gratuitous transfer of the Award by the Participant to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or other entity established for the benefit of the Participant and/or an immediate family member thereof if the Company would be eligible to use a Form S-8 under the Securities Act for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such Award to such proposed transferee; provided further, that the Company shall not be required to recognize any such permitted transfer until such time as such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award.  References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11(a) shall be deemed to restrict a transfer to the Company.
(b)    Documentation.  Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Board shall determine.  Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.
(c)    Termination of Status.  Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, immediately upon the cessation of a Participant’s Employment (as defined in Section 10(b)(1)(v)), (i) each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, and (ii) all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that:
(1)    subject to (2) and (3) below, all Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment with the Company, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months and (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate;
(2)    all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant’s death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the Participant’s death and (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate; and
(3)    all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment with the Company will immediately terminate upon such cessation if the Board in its sole discretion determines that such cessation of Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award. 

-19-

(d)    Withholding.  The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award.  The Company may elect to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages.  If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations.  Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise.  If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board, a Participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company); provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company)  that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without material financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares of Common Stock (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company)) as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award.  Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.
(e)    Amendment of Award.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(g) and 6(e), the Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  The The Board may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from such acceleration. The Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless (i) the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Plan or (ii) the change is permitted under Section 10 or the foregoing sentence.
(f)    Conditions on Delivery of Stock.  The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously issued or delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been 

-20-

satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and regulations and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations..   
(g)    Dividend Equivalents.  The Board may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions (“Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, provided that such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as the Award with respect to which they may be paid.  Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements shall be established and administered consistent either with exemption from, or compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent applicable.  
12.    Miscellaneous
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status.  No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award by virtue of the adoption of the Plan, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued Employment.  The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award.
(b)    No Rights As Shareholder; Clawback.  Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be issued with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares.  In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall agree to be bound by any clawback policy the Company has adopted or may adopt in the future, or any other compensation recovery requirements that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to be applicable to an Award.
(c)    Effective Date and Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective on the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”).  No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the expiration of 10 years from the Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.
(d)    Amendment of Plan.  The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time provided that (i) to the extent required by Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment in the manner required by Section 162(m); (ii) no amendment that would require shareholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing  may be made effective unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment; and (iii) if the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing does not have rules regarding when shareholder approval of amendments to equity compensation plans is required (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), 

-21-

then no amendment to the Plan (A) materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 4(c) or 10), (B) expanding the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, or (C) materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan shall be effective unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve such amendment.  In addition, if at any time the approval of the Company’s shareholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval.  Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance with this Section 12(d) shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided the Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan.  No Award shall be made that is conditioned upon shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan unless the Award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if shareholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date of grant and (2) it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of Common Stock) prior to such shareholder approval. 
(e)    Authorization of Sub-Plans (including for Grants to non-U.S. Employees).  The Board may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions.  The Board shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan containing (i) such limitations on the Board’s discretion under the Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable or (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall deem necessary or desirable.  All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to Participants in any jurisdiction which is not the subject of such supplement.  
(f)    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  Except as provided in individual Award agreements initially or by amendment, if and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to a Participant pursuant to the Plan in connection with his or her employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (ii) the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations the Participant (through accepting the Award) agrees that he or she is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A may then permit.  The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.

-22-

The Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to the Participant or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not to satisfy the conditions of that section.
(g)    Limitations on Liability.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been or will be delegated, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Board’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.
(h)    Governing Law.  The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall agree that the Award is granted by the Company, with respect to Common Stock issued by the Company, and that any claim with respect to the Award may only be raised against the Company in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, regardless of whether the Participant is or was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary.

Copies of the Plan and of the Company’s U.S. Prospectus for the Plan are located on the Website for your reference, and your acceptance of this Award constitutes your acknowledgement that you have read and understood the Plan and such Prospectus.  The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and all terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 
The terms of your Award, are as follows: 
		
	1.
	Grant of Deferred Shares. 

To be entitled to any payment under this Award, you must accept your Award and in so doing agree to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Appendix A (which is incorporated into, and forms a material and integral part of, this Agreement).  Failure to accept this Award within thirty (30) days following the posting of this Agreement on the Website will result in forfeiture of this Award.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Deferred Shares shall vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in your Statement.  The term “vest” as used herein means the lapsing of certain (but not all) restrictions described herein and in the Plan with respect to one or more Deferred Shares. To vest in all or any portion of this Award as of any date, you must have been continuously employed with the Company or any Subsidiary from and after the date hereof and until (and including) the applicable vesting date, except as otherwise provided herein.
This Award is subject to any forfeiture, compensation recovery or similar requirements under applicable law and related implementing regulations and guidance, and to other forfeiture, compensation recovery or similar requirements under policies and practices of the Company or subsidiaries, the employees of which are eligible to receive awards under the Plan (“Subsidiaries”) in effect from time to time. In the event that under any applicable law or related implementing regulations, or guidance, or pursuant to any Company policies or practices, the Board is required to reduce or cancel any amount remaining to be paid, or to recover any amount previously paid, with respect to this Award, or to otherwise impose or apply restrictions on this Award or shares of Common Stock subject hereto, it shall, in its sole discretion, be authorized to do so.
		
	2.
	Payment of Common Stock; Shareholder Rights.  

24
    

Upon the vesting of Deferred Shares, the Company will issue and transfer to you, no later than sixty (60) days following such vesting dates, the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the vesting schedule in your Statement. Prior to that time you will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Deferred Shares. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the issuance and transfer to you of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, you will have no right to receive dividends or amounts in lieu of dividends with respect to Deferred Shares and no right to vote Deferred Shares or Common Stock.  The Company’s obligation to issue and transfer Common Stock in the future pursuant to this Agreement is an unsecured and unfunded contractual obligation.
		
	3.
	Identified Staff Holding Requirement.  

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you agree and covenant that, as a condition to the receipt of this Award and the payment of the Deferred Shares hereunder, in the event the Company or any Subsidiary notifies you at any time before or after this Award is made (but before it has vested) that you have been designated Identified Staff for purposes of the Capital Requirements Directive IV (or any implementing or successor rule, regulation or guidance, including the rules and regulations of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) or Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”) or any other applicable regulatory authority), you will not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock issued and transferred to you pursuant  to this Award until the date that is at least six months and one day (or such longer period as is stipulated by the FCA, the PRA or any other applicable regulatory authority) after the vesting date of Deferred Shares paid in connection with this Award, except that (a) you shall be permitted to sell, upon such vesting date, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay applicable tax and social security withholding, if any, with respect to such vesting (or, alternatively, if the Company withholds such shares pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, the requirements in this Section 3 not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares shall only apply to the number of such shares delivered to you (i.e., after such withholding of shares)), (b) transfers by will or pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution are permitted and (c) this holding requirement shall not apply to such portion of the Deferred Shares, if any, that were awarded with respect to a period of time, as determined by the Company in its discretion, during which you were not subject to such holding requirement.  Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null and void and without effect.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, impose restrictions on the assignment or transfer of shares of Common Stock consistent with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, by or through the transfer agent for such shares or by means of legending Common Stock certificates or otherwise.
		
	4.
	General Circumstances of Forfeiture.  

(a)You will immediately forfeit any and all rights to receive shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, less any shares that have previously vested, in the event (i) you cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries due to Circumstances of Forfeiture or (ii) the Company or Subsidiary that employs you (“Employer”), in its sole discretion, determines that circumstances prior to the date on which you ceased to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason constituted grounds for an involuntary termination constituting Circumstances of Forfeiture.

25
    

(b)If your Employment terminates by reason of Retirement or Disability or for reasons other than for Circumstances of Forfeiture, then unless accelerated as provided in Section 8, your unvested right to receive shares of Common Stock hereunder shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule detailed in your Statement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
(c)For purposes hereof:
(i)“Circumstances of Forfeiture” means the termination of your Employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries either (A) voluntarily (other than (x) Retirement or (y) for Good Reason on or prior to the first anniversary of a Change in Control (each as defined in the Plan)) or (B) involuntarily for reasons determined by the Company or the relevant Subsidiary in its sole discretion to constitute “gross misconduct” (including while you are Retirement eligible).  
(ii)“Retirement” means your attainment of age 55 and completion of 5 years of continuous service (calculated from the most recent date of hire) with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

	Malus-Based Forfeiture.

Any amount remaining to be paid in respect of this Award may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be reduced or cancelled, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that your actions, whether discovered during or after your Employment with the Employer, exposed the Business to an inappropriate risk or risks (including where you failed to timely identify, analyze, assess or raise concerns about such risk or risks, including in a supervisory capacity, where it was reasonable to expect you to do so), and such exposure has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or losses that are or would be substantial in relation to the revenues, capital and overall risk tolerance of the Business.  The Business shall mean State Street Corporation, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (“State Street”), or, to the extent you devote substantially all of your business time to a particular business unit (e.g., Global Services Americas, Global Services International, State Street Global Advisors, State Street Global Markets, State Street Global Exchange or State Street Sector Solutions) or business division (e.g., Alternative Investment Solutions, Securities Lending, etc.), Business shall refer to such business unit or business division.

26
    

provisions of this Section 6 for a period of seven (7) years from the date this Award is granted.  This seven (7)-year period may be extended to ten (10) years in certain circumstances where (i) the Company has commenced an investigation into facts or events which it considers could potentially lead to the application of a clawback under this Section 6 were it not for the expiration of the seven (7)-year period; or (ii) the Company has been notified by a regulatory authority that an investigation has commenced into facts or events which the Company considers could potentially lead to the application of clawback by the Company under this Section 6 were it not for the expiration of the seven (7)-year period.

(b)      If the Company determines that a PRA Forfeiture Event has occurred it may elect to reduce or cancel all or part of any amount remaining to be paid in respect of this Award (“PRA Malus-Based Forfeiture”).

(c)      If the Company determines that a PRA Clawback Event has occurred it may require the repayment by you (or otherwise seek to recover from you) of all or part of any compensation paid to you in respect of this Award (“PRA Clawback”).

(d)The Company may produce guidelines from time to time in respect of its operation of the provisions of this Section 6.  The Company intends to apply such guidelines in deciding whether and when to effect any reduction, cancellation or recovery of compensation but, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 6 and any such guidelines, this Section 6 shall prevail. Such guidelines do not form part of any employee’s contract of employment, and the Company may amend such guidelines and their application at any time.

(e)By accepting this Award on the Website, you expressly and explicitly (i) consent to making the required  payment to the Company (or to your Employer on behalf of the Company) in the event of a PRA Clawback and (ii) authorize the Company to issue related instructions, on your behalf, to the Equity Administrator and any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan and to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company.

(f)For the purposes of this Section 6:

(i)      A “PRA Forfeiture Event” means a determination by the Company, in its sole discretion, that (A) there is reasonable evidence of employee misbehavior or material error; or (B) the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or a relevant business unit has suffered a material downturn in its financial performance; or (C) the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or a relevant business unit has suffered a material failure of risk management.

(ii)      A “PRA Clawback Event” means a determination by the Company, in its sole discretion, that either (A) there is reasonable evidence of employee misbehavior or material error or (B) the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or a relevant business unit has suffered a material failure of risk management.

	7.
	Management Committee Forfeiture and Clawback.

(a)If you are a member of the State Street Corporation Management Committee or any successor committee or body (“Management Committee”) at the time this Award is made, any amount remaining to be paid in respect of this Award may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be reduced or cancelled, in whole or in part, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that:
(i)    you engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct that was materially detrimental to the interests or business reputation of the Company or any of its businesses; or
(ii)    as a result of a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance metrics, financial results or other criteria used in determining the amount of this Award, you would have received a smaller or no Award hereunder.
(b)If you are a member of the Management Committee at the time this Award is made, this Award also is subject to compensation recovery as provided herein.  Upon the occurrence of an MC Clawback Event within three (3) years after the date of grant of this Award, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to recover the MC Clawback Amount, in whole or in part.  Following such a determination, you agree to immediately repay such compensation, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such determination, in the form of any shares of Common Stock delivered to you previously by the Company or cash (or a combination of such shares and cash).  For purposes of calculating the value of both (i) the amount of the MC Clawback Amount determined by the Board to be recovered and (ii) the amount of such compensation repaid, shares of Common Stock will be valued in an amount equal to the market value of the Deferred Shares delivered to you under this Award by the Company as determined at the time of such delivery.  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law and subject to Section 13 (if applicable), if you fail to comply with any requirement to repay compensation under this Section 7(b), the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, that you will satisfy your repayment obligation through an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to you. 
(c)For purposes of this Section 7:
(i)    “MC Clawback Event” means a determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, with respect to any event or series of related events that you engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that directly resulted in either (A) financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in the termination of your Employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan) by the Company and its Subsidiaries (or, following a cessation of your Employment for any other reason, circumstances constituting grounds for such termination for Cause) or (B) a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the SEC.  For the avoidance of doubt and as applicable, an MC Clawback Event includes any determination by the Board that is based on circumstances prior to the date on which you cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, even if the determination by the Board occurs after such cessation of Employment.

28
    

(ii)    “MC Clawback Amount” means (A) with respect to an MC Clawback Event described in Section 7(c)(i)(A), the value of the Deferred Shares, determined under Section 7(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company during the period of three (3) years immediately prior to such MC Clawback Event or (B) with respect to an MC Clawback Event described in Section 7(c)(i)(B), the value of the Deferred Shares, determined under Section 7(b) above, that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company (x) during the period of three (3) years immediately prior to the date such financial restatement is contained in a filing with the SEC and (y) that represents an amount that, in the sole discretion of the Board, exceeds the amount you would have been awarded under this Award had the financial statements of State Street been accurate (reduced, in the case of both of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), by any portion of this Award that was previously recovered by the Company under Section 7(b)).   
		
	8.
	Acceleration of Vesting upon Certain Events.  

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you die while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in the event that you die after your Employment has terminated for a reason permitting continued vesting pursuant to subparagraph 4(b) above, the Deferred Shares shall become fully vested on the date of your death and the Company will issue and pay to your Designated Beneficiary within sixty (60) days of your death any shares of Common Stock under this Award that you had not otherwise had a right to receive prior to your death.  In addition, Sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall cease to apply upon your death at any time provided, however, if a PRA Clawback Event or an MC Clawback Event has occurred pursuant to Section 6 or 7, respectively, prior to your death, any amount that the Board has made a determination to recover under either such Section shall continue to be payable to the Company.
(b)Subject to applicable law and regulation (including the rules and regulations of the PRA, the FCA and any other applicable regulatory authority), if your Employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary without Cause (as defined in the Plan), by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan) or on account of your Retirement, in each case, on or prior to the first anniversary of a Change in Control as defined in the Plan (and provided that such Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” as that term is defined under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Code”) and Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)) prior to the full settlement of your Award, this Award shall become fully vested on the date of such termination and the Company will promptly issue and pay to you within thirty (30) days of such termination any shares under this Award that you had not otherwise had a right to receive prior to such termination.  For purposes of this Section 8(b), termination of Employment shall mean a “separation from service” as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
		
	9.
	Withholding of Tax-Related Items.  

Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account of other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items 

29
    

legally due from you is and remains your responsibility.  Furthermore, neither the Company nor your Employer (a) makes any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the grant of this Award, the vesting of this Award and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting, the cancellation, forfeiture or repayment of any shares of Common Stock (or cash in lieu thereof); or (b) commits to structure the terms of the grant, vesting, settlement, cancellation, forfeiture, repayment or any other aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the delivery of the Common Stock upon the vesting of the Deferred Shares, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of this Award that have an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to this Award; provided, however, that the total tax withholding cannot exceed the Employer’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).  The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion).  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Deferred Shares and the issuance of Common Stock hereunder.  Alternatively, the Company and/or your Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your salary or other amounts payable to you, with no withholding in shares of Common Stock.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock or through your salary or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued upon vesting of this Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or your Employer) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award.  By accepting this Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or cash as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any Common Stock delivered in payment thereof, including the extent to which the Company or your Employer does not so-withhold shares of Common Stock and/or cash, are your sole responsibility.  
		
	10.
	Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Structure.

The number and kind of Deferred Shares subject to this Award, and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock to be paid in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations hereunder, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10(a) of the Plan.
		
	11.
	Employee Rights.  

Nothing in this Award shall be construed to guarantee you any right of Employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or to limit the discretion of any of them to terminate your Employment at any time, with or without cause.

30
    

		
	12.
	Non-Transferability, Etc.  

This Award shall not be transferable other than (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (b) pursuant to the terms of a qualified domestic relations order. In the case of transfer pursuant to (b) above, this Award shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement, including vesting and forfeiture conditions. Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null, void and without effect and shall render this Award itself null and void.
		
	13.
	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  

(a)    The provisions of this Award are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and interpreted consistently therewith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any liability to you or to any other person if this Award is not so exempt or compliant.
(b)    If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to you pursuant to the Plan in connection with your Employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) you are a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations you (through accepting this Award) agree that you are bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (“New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit.  The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to you during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.
		
	14.
	Entire Agreement.  

The Plan and this Agreement constitute the complete understanding and agreement between the parties to this Agreement with respect to this Award, and supersede and cancel any previous oral or written discussions, agreements or representations regarding this Award or the Deferred Shares; provided, however, that any conditions to the receipt and retention of this Award or the payment of the Deferred Shares contained in any prior written document describing this Award to you shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  
		
	15.
	Miscellaneous.

(a)The grant of this Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award, compensation or benefits in lieu of an award in the future.
(b)Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement are intended to comply with and meet the requirements of applicable law and related implementing regulations regarding incentive compensation and will be interpreted and administered accordingly as well as in

In making determinations under such Sections, the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board, as applicable, may take into account, in its sole discretion, all factors that it deems appropriate or relevant.  Furthermore, the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board may, as applicable, take any and all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, as permitted by applicable law, to implement the intent of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, including suspension of vesting and payment pending an investigation or the determination by the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board, as applicable.  Each such Section is without prejudice to the provisions of the other Sections, and the Company, the relevant Subsidiary or the Board, as applicable, may elect or be required to apply any or all of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to this Award.
(c)The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on this Award, any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award, and your participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable laws, rules  or regulations or to facilitate the administration of the Plan.  Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(d)Your participation in the Plan is voluntary.  The value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation, and this Award is not part of your normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(e)The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Award by electronic means.

If you have received the Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to this Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

32
    

(h)Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of Employment, if different), as may be set forth in an applicable Addendum to the Agreement.  Further, if you transfer residence and/or Employment to another country reflected in an Addendum to the Agreement, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company or the relevant Subsidiary determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms are necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations or to facilitate administration of the Plan.  Any such Addendum is hereby incorporated into, and forms a part of, this Agreement.
(i)No individual acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to you or any other person for any action, including any Award forfeiture, Award recovery or other discretionary action taken pursuant to this Agreement or any related implementing policy or procedure of the Company.

APPENDIX A
    

In consideration of your receipt of this Award, you expressly agree to comply with the terms and conditions below without regard to whether or not any amount has been forfeited, paid, delivered or repaid, under this Award at any time, including the time you separate from service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Appendix A may result in the sole determination of the Company in the forfeiture of any or all of the amounts remaining to be paid under this Award.
In addition, your eligibility to participate in the Plan in the future, including any potential future grants of awards under the Plan (or any successor incentive plan of the Company), is subject to and conditioned on your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Appendix A.  
All terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan or the Award, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
1.Confidentiality.  
(a)    You acknowledge that you have access to Confidential Information which is not generally known or made available to the general public and that such Confidential Information is the property of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their licensors, suppliers or customers.  Subject to Paragraph 16, below, you agree specifically as follows, in each case whether during your Employment or following the termination thereof: 
(i)    You will always preserve as confidential all Confidential Information, and will never use it for your own benefit or for the benefit of others; this includes that you will not use the knowledge of activities or positions in clients’ securities portfolio accounts or cash accounts for your own personal gain or for the gain of others.
(ii)    You will not disclose, divulge, or communicate Confidential Information to any unauthorized person, business or corporation during or after the termination of your Employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries.  You will use your best efforts and exercise due diligence to protect, to not disclose and to keep as confidential all Confidential Information.
(iii)    You will not initiate or facilitate any unauthorized attempts to intercept data in transmission or attempt entry into data systems or files. You will not intentionally affect the integrity of any data or systems of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through the introduction of unauthorized code or data, or through unauthorized deletion or addition.  You will abide by all applicable Corporate Information Security procedures.
(iv)    Upon the earlier of request or termination of Employment, you agree to return to the Company or the relevant Subsidiaries, or if so directed by the Company or the relevant Subsidiaries, destroy any and all copies of materials in your possession containing Confidential Information.

34
    

(b)    The terms of this Appendix A do not apply to any information which is previously known to you without an obligation of confidence or without breach of this Appendix A, is publicly disclosed (other than by a violation by you of the terms of this Appendix A) either prior to or subsequent to your receipt of such information, or is rightfully received by you from a third party without obligation of confidence and other than in relation to your Employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
State Street recognizes that certain disclosures of confidential information to appropriate government authorities or other designated persons are protected by “whistleblower” and other laws.  Nothing in this Appendix A is intended to or should be understood or construed to prohibit or otherwise discourage such disclosures.  State Street will not tolerate any discipline or other retaliation against employees who properly make such legally-protected disclosures.
2.Assignment and Disclosure.  
(a)    You acknowledge that, by reason of being employed by the Company or your Employer, to the extent permitted by law, all works, deliverables, products, methodologies and other work product conceived, created and/or reduced to practice by you, individually or jointly with others, during the period of your Employment by your Employer and relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or demonstrably anticipated business, products, activities, research or development of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or resulting from any work performed by you for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any track record with which you may be associated as an investment manager or fund manager (“Work Product”) that consists of copyrightable subject matter is "work made for hire" as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. § 101), and such copyrights are therefore owned, upon creation, exclusively by State Street. To the extent the foregoing does not apply and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby assign and agree to assign, for no additional consideration, all of your rights, title and interest in any Work Product and any intellectual property rights therein to the Company and its Subsidiaries. You hereby waive in favor of the Company and its Subsidiaries any and all artist’s or moral rights (including without limitation, all rights of integrity and attribution) you may have pursuant to any state, federal or foreign laws, rules or regulations in respect of any Work Product and all similar rights thereto. You will not pursue any ownership or other interest in such Work Product, including any intellectual property rights. 
(b)    You will disclose promptly and in writing to the Company or your Employer all Work Product, whether or not patentable or copyrightable. You agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company (i) to transfer to the Company the Work Product and any intellectual property rights therein, (ii) to obtain or perfect such rights, (iii) to execute all papers, at the Company’s expense, that the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain domestic and foreign patents, copyright and other registrations, and (iv) to protect and enforce the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ interest in them.  
(c)    These obligations shall continue beyond the period of your Employment with respect to inventions or creations conceived or made by you during the period of your Employment.
3.Non-Solicitation.

(b)    You agree that, during your Employment and for a period of six (6) months from the date your Employment terminates for any reason you will not, without the prior written consent of the Company or your Employer: 
(i)    solicit, directly or indirectly (other than through a general solicitation of employment not specifically directed to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the employment of, hire or employ, recruit, or in any way assist another in soliciting or recruiting the employment of, or otherwise induce the termination of the employment of, any person who then or within the preceding twelve (12) months was an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any such officer whose employment was involuntarily terminated); or 
(ii)    engage in the Solicitation of Business from any Client on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)    Paragraph 3(a)(i) above shall be deemed to exclude the words “hire or employ” if your work location is in California or New York, and shall be construed and administered accordingly.
(d)    For purposes of this Paragraph 3, “officer” shall include any person holding a position title of Assistant Vice President or SSGA Principal 4 or higher.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Paragraph 3 shall be inapplicable following a Change in Control as defined in the Plan.
4.Notice Period Upon Resignation.  
(a)    This Paragraph 4 shall apply to you at any time that you hold the title of Managing Director or higher (or, any time that you hold the title of Vice President or higher in State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”)).  If you are subject to an employment agreement that requires a longer notice period, that employment agreement shall govern.
(b)    In order to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to safeguard their business interests and goodwill in the event of your resignation from Employment for any reason, you agree to give your Employer advance notice of your resignation. The duration of the advance notice you provide (the “Notice Period”) will be determined by your title at the time you deliver such notice, as follows:

(ii)    If you are an Executive Vice President, you will give ninety (90) days’ advance notice; 
(iii)    If you are a Vice President in SSGM, you will give thirty (30) days’ advance notice; and

(c)    During the Notice Period, you will cooperate with your Employer, as well as the Company and its Subsidiaries, and provide them with any requested information to assist with transitioning your duties, accomplishing its or their business, and/or preserving its or their client relationships.  In its sole discretion, during the Notice Period, your Employer or the Company may place you on a partial or complete leave of absence and relieve you of some or all of your duties and responsibilities.  Except as provided otherwise in (e) below, 

36
    

at all times during the Notice Period you shall continue to be an employee of your Employer, shall continue to receive your regular salary and benefits, and shall continue to comply with the applicable policies of your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries.  However, you will not be eligible for any incentive compensation awards made on or after the first day of the Notice Period or, subject to applicable law, to accrue any paid vacation time.
(d)    You agree that should you fail to provide advance notice of your resignation as required in this Paragraph 4, your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief restricting you from employment for a period equal to the period for which notice of resignation was required but not provided, in addition to any other remedies available under law. 
(e)    If you have sixty (60) or fewer days’ notice remaining in your required Notice Period under this Paragraph 4, your Employer, or the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries may, at any time during the remainder of your Notice Period, release you from your obligations under this Paragraph 4 and give immediate effect to your resignation; provided that such action shall not affect your other obligations under this Appendix A.  
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you hold the title of Executive Vice President this Paragraph 4 shall not apply in the event you terminate your Employment for Good Reason on or prior to the first anniversary of a Change in Control (each as defined in the Plan).
5.Non-Competition.
(a)    This Paragraph 5 shall apply to you at any time that you hold the title of Executive Vice President or higher. However, it will not apply to any Executive Vice President who resides in or has a primary reporting location in California.

Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive or potentially competitive with the business of your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as conducted or under consideration at any time during your Employment and further agree not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for which you have provided services, as conducted or in planning during your Employment. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent your passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.

	4.
	Malus-Based Forfeiture.

Until the expiration of the holding requirement described in Section 3, the number of Shares may be reduced, or the entire Award cancelled and forfeited, in the sole discretion of the Board, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that your actions, whether discovered during or after your Employment with the Employer, exposed the Business to an inappropriate risk or risks (including where you failed to timely identify, analyze, assess or raise concerns about such risk or risks, including in a supervisory capacity, where it was reasonable to expect you to do so), and such exposure has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or losses that are or would be substantial in relation to the revenues, capital and overall risk tolerance of the Business.  The Business shall mean State Street Corporation, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (“State Street”), or, to the extent you devote substantially all of your business time to a particular business unit (e.g., Global Services Americas, Global Services International, State Street Global Advisors, State Street Global Markets, State Street Global Exchange or State Street Sector Solutions) or business division 

43
    

(e.g., Alternative Investment Solutions, Securities Lending, etc.), Business shall refer to such business unit or business division.

		
	5.
	Identified Staff Malus-Based Forfeiture and Clawback.

In the event the Company or any Subsidiary notifies you at any time before or after this Award is made that you have been designated Identified Staff for purposes of the PRA Remuneration Code, you acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Company determines that a PRA Clawback Event has occurred, it may require the repayment by you of (or otherwise seek to recover from you) all or part of any compensation paid to you in respect of this Award (“PRA Clawback”) for a period of seven (7) years from the date this Award is granted. This seven (7)-year period may be extended to ten (10) years in certain circumstances where (i) the company has commenced an investigation into facts or events which it considers could potentially lead to the application of a clawback under this Section 5 were it not for the expiration of the seven (7)-year period; or (ii) the Company has been notified by a regulatory authority that an investigation has commenced into facts or events which the Company considers could potentially lead to the application of clawback by the Company under this Section 5 were it not for the expiration of the seven (7)-year period. 

The Company may produce guidelines from time to time in respect of its operation of the provisions of this Section 5.  The Company intends to apply such guidelines in deciding whether and when to effect any reduction, cancellation or recovery of compensation but, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 5 and any such guidelines, this Section 5 shall prevail. Such guidelines do not form part of any employee’s contract of Employment, and the Company may amend such guidelines and their application at any time.  By accepting this Award on the Website, you expressly and explicitly (i) consent to making the required payment to the Company (or to your Employer on behalf of the Company) in the event of a PRA Clawback and (ii) authorize the Company to issue related instructions, on your behalf, to the Equity Administrator and any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan and to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company. For the purposes of this Section 5, a “PRA Clawback Event” means a determination by the Company, in its sole discretion, that either (A) there is reasonable evidence of employee misbehavior or material error or (B) the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or a relevant business unit has suffered a material failure of risk management.

		
	6.
	Management Committee Forfeiture and Clawback.

(a)If you are a member of the State Street Corporation Management Committee or any successor committee or body (“Management Committee”) at the time this Award is made, any amount remaining to be paid in respect of this Award may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be reduced or cancelled, in whole or in part, in the event that it is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, that:
(i)    you engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct that was materially detrimental to the interests or business reputation of the Company or any of its businesses; or

44
    

(ii)    as a result of a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (“SEC”), or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance metrics, financial results or other criteria used in determining the amount of this Award, you would have received a smaller or no Award hereunder.
(b)If you are a member of the Management Committee at the time this Award is made, this Award also is subject to compensation recovery as provided herein.  Upon the occurrence of an MC Clawback Event within three (3) years after the date of grant of this Award, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to recover the MC Clawback Amount, in whole or in part.  Following such a determination, you agree to immediately repay such compensation, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such determination, in the form of any shares of Common Stock delivered to you previously by the Company or cash (or a combination of such shares and cash).  For purposes of calculating the value of both (i) the amount of the MC Clawback Amount determined by the Board to be recovered and (ii) the amount of such compensation repaid, shares of Common Stock will be valued in an amount equal to the market value of the Shares delivered to you under this Award by the Company as determined at the time of such delivery.  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law and subject to Section 9 (if applicable), if you fail to comply with any requirement to repay compensation under this Section 6(b), the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, that you will satisfy your repayment obligation through an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to you. 
(c)For purposes of this Section 6:
(i)    “MC Clawback Event” means a determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, with respect to any event or series of related events that you engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that directly resulted in either (A) financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in the termination of your Employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan) by the Company and its Subsidiaries (or, following a cessation of your Employment for any other reason, circumstances constituting grounds for such termination for Cause) or (B) a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the SEC.  For the avoidance of doubt and as applicable, an MC Clawback Event includes any determination by the Board that is based on circumstances prior to the date on which you cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, even if the determination by the Board occurs after such cessation of Employment.
(ii)    “MC Clawback Amount” means (A) with respect to an MC Clawback Event described in Section 6(c)(i)(A), the value of the Shares, determined under Section 7(b) above,  that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company during the period of three (3) years immediately prior to such MC Clawback Event or (B) with respect to an MC Clawback Event described in Section 6(c)(i)(B), the value of the Shares, determined under Section 7(b) above,  that were delivered to you under this Award by the Company (x) during the period of three (3) years immediately prior to the date such financial restatement is contained in a filing with the SEC and (y) that represents an amount that, in the sole discretion of the Board, 

45
    

exceeds the amount you would have been awarded under this Award had the financial statements of State Street been accurate (reduced, in the case of both of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), by any portion of this Award that was previously recovered by the Company under Section 6(b).   
7.Withholding of Tax-Related Items.  
Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility.  Furthermore, neither the Company nor the Employer (a) makes any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the grant of this Award, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of this Award, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock; or (b) commits to structure the terms of the grant, settlement, cancellation, forfeiture, repayment or any other aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the delivery of the Shares, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the grant of this Award that have an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to this Award.  The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion).  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Deferred Shares and the issuance of Common Stock hereunder.  Alternatively, the Company and/or your Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your salary or other amounts payable to you, with no withholding in shares of Common Stock.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock or through your salary or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued upon vesting of this Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or your Employer) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award.  By accepting this Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or cash as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any Common Stock delivered in payment thereof, including the extent to which the Company or your Employer does not so-withhold shares of Common Stock and/or cash, are your sole responsibility.  
		
	8.
	Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Structure.

The number and kind of Shares subject to this Award, and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock to be paid in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations hereunder, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10(a) of the Plan.

46
    

		
	9.
	Employee Rights.

Nothing in this Award shall be construed to guarantee you any right of Employment with the Company or your Employer or to limit the discretion of any of them to terminate your Employment at any time, with or without cause.
		
	10.
	Non-Transferability, Etc.  

This Award shall not be transferable other than (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (b) pursuant to the terms of a qualified domestic relations order. In the case of transfer pursuant to (b) above, this Award shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement, including vesting and forfeiture conditions.  Any attempt by you (or in the case of your death, by your Designated Beneficiary) to assign or transfer this Award, either voluntarily or involuntarily, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be null, void and without effect and shall render this Award itself null and void.
		
	11.
	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  

(a)    The provisions of this Award are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and interpreted consistently therewith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any liability to you or to any other person if this Award is not so exempt or compliant.
(b)    If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to you pursuant to the Plan in connection with your Employment termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) you are a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations you (through accepting this Award) agree that you are bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit.  The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to you during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.
		
	12.
	Miscellaneous.

(a)    By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.

50
    

Appendix A) either prior to or subsequent to your receipt of such information, or is rightfully received by you from a third party without obligation of confidence and other than in relation to your Employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
State Street recognizes that certain disclosures of confidential information to appropriate government authorities or other designated persons are protected by “whistleblower” and other laws.

The foregoing, however, shall not prevent your passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.

You further agree that one or more of your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be irreparably harmed in the event you do not perform such promises in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach the promises made herein.

If any restriction set forth in this Appendix A is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.
13.Assignment.  Except as provided otherwise herein, this Appendix A shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, 

55

You shall provide the Company with such other pertinent information concerning such business activity as the Company may reasonably request in order to determine your continued compliance with your obligations under this Appendix A.
16.Certain Limitations.
(a)    Nothing in this Appendix A prohibits you from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or regulatory authority or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.  Moreover, nothing in this Appendix A requires you to notify the Company that you have made any such report or disclosure.  However, in connection with any such activity, you acknowledge you must take reasonable precautions to ensure that any confidential information that is disclosed to such authority is not made generally available to the public, including by informing such authority of the confidentiality of the same.
You shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law if you disclose a Company trade secret (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purposes of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

2017 Deferred Stock Award Agreement--Directors

You have elected to defer payment of one or more of the annual stock award, annual retainer or an additional retainer payable to you for your services as a member of the State Street Board of Directors from the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders until the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The total number of shares of Stock you elected to defer (the “Deferred Shares”) is shown on your investment report on the website maintained by the Equity Administrator (Fidelity or another third party designated by the Company). The Deferred Shares are granted under the State Street Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), and are subject to the terms and conditions contained in the 2017 Plan, the State Street Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the “Deferral Plan”), the related election forms and the terms set forth below.  All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Deferral Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.  

1.    The Deferred Shares plus any additional shares of Stock determined under paragraph 3 below (the Deferred Shares plus the shares described in paragraph 3 being hereinafter referred to as the “2017 shares”) will be issued to you as soon as practicable following (i) your Separation from Service or (ii) the earlier of your Separation from Service or the date specified in your timely deferral election made pursuant to the terms of the Deferral Plan.  In the event of your death prior to the issuance of the 2017 shares, the 2017 shares will be issued to your Beneficiary(ies).  You may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by delivering to Todd Gershkowitz, Executive Vice President, Total Rewards (the “Head of Total Rewards”), or to his successor or designate, a written beneficiary designation in the form provided under the Deferral Plan.  Alternatively, you may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by communicating your beneficiary designation to Fidelity to record in your account. Your designation (or change in designation) will be effective when received by the Head of Total Rewards or Fidelity, as applicable.  If you should die without having named a Beneficiary, your 2017 shares will be issued to the executor or administrator of your estate.

2.    At any date that is at least twelve months prior to the Plan Year in which the 2017 shares would otherwise be paid (or payment would have commenced) you may make an election to change the timing and/or form of payment of the 2017 shares under the Deferral Plan.  Any election described in the preceding sentence must be in writing and shall take effect only when delivered to the Head of Total Rewards or Fidelity in the form provided under the Deferral Plan.  Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator consistent with Section 409A, no such election may specify a new date for receipt of the 2017 shares that is earlier than five years following the date on which the 2017 shares would be paid or payment would have commenced. No change to an election as to the time or form of payment will take effect until at least twelve months after the 

57
    

date on which the election is made.  If you make an effective election under this paragraph to defer receipt of the 2017 shares, and you die prior to issuance of the shares, the 2017 shares shall be issued as soon as practicable following your death to your designated Beneficiary(ies) or to the executor or administrator of your estate if no Beneficiary has been designated or survives.

3.    You will not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the 2017 shares until they have been issued to you.  However, if any dividends and distributions (other than distributions described in paragraph 4) are paid on the Stock prior to the date you are issued the 2017 shares, the number of 2017 shares notionally credited to your account will be increased by the number of shares obtained as follows:  by dividing the total dividend or distribution you would have received if you had owned the 2017 shares credited to your account on the dividend or other distribution declaration date, by the closing price of a share of Stock on the date the dividend or distribution was paid.

4.    The number and kind of shares constituting the 2017 shares shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board to reflect stock splits, stock dividends or similar changes in the capitalization of the Corporation.

5.    Your rights to the 2017 shares are only those of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation.  Nothing herein or in the Deferral Plan or otherwise shall be construed as obligating the Corporation to establish a trust or otherwise to set aside Stock or funds to meet its obligations hereunder or under the Deferral Plan.

6.    Nothing herein or in the Deferral Plan or otherwise shall obligate the Corporation to register the shares of Stock to be issued hereunder.  You acknowledge that federal and state securities laws or other laws may limit the extent to which you or your Beneficiary(ies) may sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Stock issued hereunder. Under currently applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, you are required to report the award described above as a 2017 exempt award.

7.    The Board may at any time vote to accelerate the issuance of the 2017 shares to you, but only if doing so would be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.  The Deferral Plan and the award described herein are intended to comply with Section 409A and shall be subject to such modifications as are necessary so to comply.

8.    You agree that as a precondition to the issuance of any of the 2017 shares, you will pay to the Corporation such amounts, if any (including, but not limited to, income taxes and social insurance contributions if applicable), as are required to be withheld by the Corporation in respect of the award and payments described herein.

9.    The Deferral Plan and the award described herein shall be construed and administered by the Board in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the determination of the Board shall be binding on all persons.

Exhibit 10.1

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective as of the 5th day of May, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between OUTFRONT Media Inc. (“OUTFRONT”), having an address at 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10174, and Nancy Tostanoski (“Executive”), whose address is 1216 Post Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583.

WITNESSETH
    
WHEREAS, OUTFRONT desires for Executive to continue serving as Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of OUTFRONT, and Executive is willing to perform such services, upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is agreed upon between OUTFRONT and Executive as follows:

1.Term.  (a) OUTFRONT shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment as OUTFRONT’s Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer from the Effective Date until one of the events stated in paragraph 1(b) occurs. The period during which Executive is employed by OUTFRONT shall be referred to herein as the “Term”. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive will be an at-will employee of OUTFRONT, and Executive or OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT for any reason or no reason at any time.
		
	(b)
	The Term shall end upon the first to occur of any of the following events:

		
	(i)
	Executive’s death;

		
	(ii)
	OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s Disability (as defined in paragraph 7);

		
	(iii)
	OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in paragraph 8(a));

		
	(iv)

	(v)

	(vi)
	Executive’s voluntary termination without Good Reason (as described in paragraph 8(a)(ii)).

2.    Duties and Duty of Loyalty.  (a) Executive agrees to devote her entire business time, attention and energies to the OUTFRONT business. Executive will be Senior Vice President, Human Resources of OUTFRONT and Executive agrees to perform all duties reasonable and consistent with that office and related to the OUTFRONT business, as the Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT (the “CEO”) (or other individual designated by the CEO) may assign to Executive from time to time. 

1

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(b)
	During the Term, Executive assumes a duty to perform the obligations of Executive’s position with OUTFRONT in a loyal and diligent manner, including, among other things, avoiding conflicts of interest (e.g., leveraging business relationships, contacts or other assets for any personal gain or advantage or the gain or advantage of any person or entity other than OUTFRONT) and promptly informing OUTFRONT of any business opportunities Executive has been offered and that may be of interest to OUTFRONT. Executive represents and agrees that it shall be a violation of the obligations of this Agreement to, among other things, engage in or prepare to engage in competitive activity while employed by OUTFRONT (e.g., to plan, coordinate or prepare to start to engage in any competitive activity). If Executive desires to engage in outside business activities during the scope of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT, such activities must be fully disclosed in writing in advance to a member of OUTFRONT’s Legal Department so that OUTFRONT may evaluate whether such outside business activities violate the terms of this Agreement, with such evaluation and determination being made by OUTFRONT in its sole discretion. This paragraph shall not in any way limit any common law or statutory duties owed by Executive to OUTFRONT.

3.    Compensation. 
(a)    Salary.  For all the services rendered by Executive in any capacity under this Agreement, OUTFRONT agrees to pay Executive a base salary (“Salary”) at the rate of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) per annum, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in accordance with OUTFRONT’s payroll practices as they may exist from time to time. During the Term, Executive’s Salary may be increased, and such increases, if any, shall be made at a time, and in an amount, that OUTFRONT shall determine in its sole discretion.  
(b)    Bonus Compensation.  Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation (“Bonus”) during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT under this Agreement, determined and payable as follows: 
		
	(i)
	OUTFRONT agrees Executive shall be eligible to be considered for participation in OUTFRONT’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “EBP”), i.e., OUTFRONT’s current bonus plan, or any successor plans to the EBP. Executive shall have an annual bonus target equal to fifty percent (50%) of her Salary (“Target Bonus”). Since the EBP is administered under procedures that are not subject to contractual arrangements, eligibility for consideration is no guarantee of actual participation (or of meeting any target amounts), and the precise amount, form and timing of the awards under the EBP, if any, shall be determined on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of OUTFRONT (the “Board”), or the appropriate committee of such Board.  The Bonus for any calendar year may be subject to proration for the portion of such calendar year that Executive was employed by OUTFRONT.

2

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(ii)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s Bonus for any calendar year shall be payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, by no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Bonus was considered earned.

		
	(c)
	Long-Term Incentive Compensation.  During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to be considered for participation in the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), or any successor plans to the LTIP, and shall be recommended for an annual grant with a Target Long-Term Incentive value equal to Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000). Since the LTIP is administered under procedures that are not subject to contractual arrangements, eligibility for consideration is no guarantee of actual participation (or of meeting any target amounts), and the precise amount, form and timing of the awards under the LTIP, if any, shall be determined on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Board, or the appropriate committee of such Board.

4.    Benefits.  Executive shall participate in such vacation, medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, retirement, long-term incentive and other plans as OUTFRONT may have or establish from time to time in which similarly situated senior executives participate and in which Executive would be entitled to participate under the terms of the plan. This provision, however, shall not be construed to either require OUTFRONT to establish any welfare, compensation or long-term incentive plans, or to prevent the modification or termination of any plan once established, and no action or inaction with respect to any plan shall affect this Agreement.  Executive shall be eligible for four (4) weeks of vacation each year.
5.    Business Expenses.  During Executive’s employment under this Agreement, OUTFRONT shall reimburse Executive for such reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties as are customarily reimbursed to OUTFRONT’s executives at comparable levels. Subject to paragraph 18, any such travel and other expenses shall be reimbursed by OUTFRONT as soon as practicable in accordance with its established guidelines, as may be amended from time to time, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the related expenses. 
6.    Non-Competition, Confidential Information, Etc. 
(a)    Non-Competition.  Executive agrees that Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT is on an exclusive basis and that, while Executive is employed by OUTFRONT, Executive will not engage in any other business activity which is in conflict with Executive’s duties and obligations (including Executive’s commitment of time) under this Agreement. Executive further agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period (as defined below), Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in or participate in (or negotiate or sign any agreement to engage in or participate in), whether as an owner, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, agent of or consultant for, any business which at such time is competitive with any business, division, operation or other activity of OUTFRONT or any of its subsidiaries (i) with respect to which Executive had any responsibility, involvement or supervision, (ii) with respect to which Executive had access to any Confidential Information (as defined below) that could benefit such competitor’s business or harm 

3

Exhibit 10.1

OUTFRONT’s business or (iii) where Executive would provide services of the same or similar nature as services performed by Executive for OUTFRONT, without the written consent of OUTFRONT, as applicable; provided, that this provision shall not prevent Executive from investing as less than a one (1%) percent stockholder in the securities of any company listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system. The Non-Compete Period shall cover the period during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and shall continue following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, including by expiration of the Term, for the greater of (A) six (6) months or (B) for so long as any payments are to be made to Executive pursuant to paragraph 8(c) of this Agreement, unless Executive requests and OUTFRONT accepts a written request pursuant to paragraph 6(j) of this Agreement, if any.
(b)    Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that, during the Term and at any time thereafter, (i) Executive shall not use for any purpose or disclose to any third party, other than the duly authorized business of OUTFRONT, any information relating to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies which is non-public, confidential or proprietary to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies (“Confidential Information”), including any trade secret or any written (including in any electronic form) or oral communication incorporating Confidential Information in any way (except as may be required by law or in the performance of her duties under this Agreement consistent with OUTFRONT’s policies); and (ii) Executive will comply with any and all confidentiality obligations of OUTFRONT to a third party, whether arising under a written agreement or otherwise. Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information which (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive or at Executive’s direction or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from Executive, or (B) is or becomes available to Executive on a nonconfidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to Executive. For purposes of this paragraph 6(b), the term “third party” shall be defined to mean any person other than OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies (and any of their respective directors and senior officers).
(c)    No Solicitation.  Executive agrees that, while employed by OUTFRONT and for the greater of: twelve (12) months thereafter or for so long as OUTFRONT is making any payments to Executive pursuant to paragraph 8(c), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:

Should OUTFRONT have reason to believe Executive is violating the terms of this paragraph 6(c), OUTFRONT may contact any individual(s) necessary to (A) determine the existence of a violation and (B) enforce this paragraph 6(c), without being deemed to have violated the confidentiality terms of any written agreement between Executive and OUTFRONT.

Exhibit 10.1

(d)    OUTFRONT Ownership.  The results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any works of authorship resulting from Executive’s services during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and/or any of its affiliated companies and any works in progress resulting from such services, shall be works-made-for-hire and they shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in such works, whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered, with the right to use the works in perpetuity in any manner they determine in their sole discretion without any further payment to Executive. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds are not legally deemed a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any rights in such results and proceeds which do not accrue to OUTFRONT and/or any of its affiliates under the preceding sentence, then Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of her right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other rights of every nature in the work, whether now known or hereafter defined or discovered, and they shall have the right to use the work in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner they determine in their sole discretion without any further payment to Executive. Executive shall, as may be requested by OUTFRONT from time to time, do any and all things which OUTFRONT may deem useful or desirable to establish or document OUTFRONT’s rights in any such results and proceeds, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright, trademark and/or patent applications, assignments or similar documents and, if Executive is unavailable or unwilling to execute such documents, Executive hereby irrevocably designates OUTFRONT’s General Counsel or his designee as Executive’s attorney-in-fact with the power to execute such documents on Executive’s behalf. To the extent Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement that cannot be assigned as described above, Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights. This paragraph 6(d) is subject to, and does not limit, restrict, or constitute a waiver by OUTFRONT and/or any of its affiliates of any ownership rights to which they may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of being Executive’s employer.
		
	(e)
	Litigation.

		
	(i)
	Executive agrees that during the Term, and for the greater of: (A) twelve (12) months thereafter; or (B) during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, (x) Executive shall not communicate with anyone (other than Executive’s own attorneys and tax advisors), except to the extent necessary in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving OUTFRONT, or any of OUTFRONT’s affiliated companies, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which Executive is a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to OUTFRONT or its counsel; and (y) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from Executive with respect to such matters, either through formal legal process such as a subpoena or by informal means such as interviews, Executive shall promptly notify OUTFRONT’s counsel before providing any information or documents.

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(ii)
	Executive agrees to cooperate with OUTFRONT and its attorneys, both during and after the termination of Executive’s employment, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which Executive was involved prior to the termination of Executive’s employment. Executive’s cooperation shall include, without limitation, providing assistance to OUTFRONT’s counsel, experts or consultants, and providing truthful testimony in pretrial and trial or hearing proceedings. In the event that Executive’s cooperation is requested after the termination of Executive’s employment, OUTFRONT will (A) seek to minimize interruptions to Executive’s schedule to the extent consistent with its interests in the matter; and (B) reimburse Executive for all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Executive in connection with such cooperation upon reasonable substantiation of such expenses within sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which Executive incurs the related expenses.

		
	(iii)
	Executive agrees that during the Term and at any time thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive will not testify voluntarily in any lawsuit or other proceeding which directly or indirectly involves OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, or which may create the impression that such testimony is endorsed or approved by OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, without advance notice (including the general nature of the testimony) to and, if such testimony is without subpoena or other compulsory legal process, the approval of the General Counsel (or equivalent position thereof) of OUTFRONT.

		
	(iv)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not preclude Executive from participating in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT, and Executive is not obligated under this Agreement to provide any notice to OUTFRONT regarding Executive’s participation in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT.

(f)    No Right to Give Interviews or Write Books, Articles, Etc.  During the Term, except as authorized by OUTFRONT, Executive shall not (i) give any interviews or speeches, or (ii) prepare or assist any person or entity in the preparation of any books, articles, television or motion picture productions or other creations, in either case, concerning OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, suppliers or customers. 
(g)    Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in electronic form, obtained or prepared by or for Executive and utilized by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall remain the exclusive property of OUTFRONT. In the event of the 

6

Exhibit 10.1

termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, OUTFRONT reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law and in addition to any other remedy OUTFRONT may have, to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive the following: (i) all amounts Executive may owe to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies at the time of or subsequent to the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT; and (ii) the value of OUTFRONT’s property which Executive retains in Executive’s possession after the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT. In the event that the law of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of an employee for such deductions, this Agreement shall serve as such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6(g) to the contrary, OUTFRONT will not exercise such right to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive to the extent such offset would be a violation of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).  
(h)    Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees that, during the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any customer, client or supplier of OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s affiliated companies, criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s affiliated companies or any of their respective directors or senior officers or employees.
(i)    Injunctive Relief.  OUTFRONT has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of Executive’s unique skills, talent, and experience. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any violation of paragraphs 6(a) through (h) of this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to OUTFRONT, and, accordingly, OUTFRONT may obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to OUTFRONT, and Executive hereby consents and agrees to personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. 
(j)    Survival; Modification of Terms.  Executive’s obligations under paragraphs 6(a) through (i) shall remain in full force and effect for the entire period provided therein notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that Executive’s obligations under paragraph 6(a) (but not under any other provision of this Agreement) shall cease if: (i) OUTFRONT terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in paragraph 8(a)) or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 8(b)) and (ii) Executive provides OUTFRONT a written notice indicating Executive’s desire to waive her right to receive, or to continue to receive, termination payments and benefits under paragraphs 8(c)(i) through (iii) and (iii) OUTFRONT notifies Executive that it has, in its sole discretion, accepted Executive’s request. Executive and OUTFRONT agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs 6(a) through (i) are reasonable and that it is Executive’s intention and the intention of OUTFRONT that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable. Executive acknowledges that OUTFRONT conducts its business operations around the world and has invested 

7

Exhibit 10.1

considerable time and effort to develop the international brand and goodwill associated with the “OUTFRONT” name. To that end, Executive further acknowledges that the obligations set forth in this paragraph 6 are by necessity international in scope and necessary to protect the international operations and goodwill of OUTFRONT and its affiliated companies.
7.    Disability. In the event that Executive becomes “disabled” within the meaning of such term under the OUTFRONT’s Short-Term Disability (“STD”) program and its Long-Term Disability (“LTD”) program while employed during the Term (such condition is referred to as a “Disability”), Executive will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment with OUTFRONT and its subsidiaries as of the date Executive first becomes eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program in which OUTFRONT’s senior executives are eligible to participate or, if Executive does not become eligible to receive benefits under such OUTFRONT LTD program, Executive has not returned to work by the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s Disability onset date. Except as provided in this paragraph 7, if Executive becomes Disabled while employed during the Term, Executive will exclusively receive compensation under the STD program in accordance with its terms. Thereafter, Executive will be eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program in accordance with its terms. If Executive has not returned to work by December 31st of a calendar year during the Term, Executive will receive bonus compensation for the calendar year(s) during the Term in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, determined as follows: 
		
	(i) 
	for the portion of the calendar year from January 1st until the date on which Executive first receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be determined in accordance with the EBP (i.e., based upon OUTFRONT’s achievement of its goals and OUTFRONT’s good faith estimate of Executive’s achievement of Executive’s personal goals) and prorated for such period; and

		
	(ii) 
	for any subsequent portion of that calendar year and any portion of the following calendar year in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be in an amount equal to Executive’s Target Bonus and prorated for such period(s).  

Subject to paragraph 18 hereof, bonus compensation under this paragraph 7 shall be paid, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, by February 28th of the year(s) following the year as to which such bonus compensation is payable. Executive will not receive bonus compensation for any portion of the calendar year(s) during the Term while Executive receives benefits under the LTD program. For the periods that Executive receives compensation and benefits under the STD and LTD programs, such compensation and benefits and the bonus compensation provided under this paragraph 7 are in lieu of Salary and Bonus under paragraphs 3(a) and (b). 
In addition, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to her “Permanent Disability” (as defined in the then current LTIP), all outstanding equity awards (or portions thereof) granted to Executive in connection with Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall accelerate and vest immediately on the date of such termination of employment and be settled as soon as administratively feasible (but no later than ten (10) business days thereafter).

Exhibit 10.1

8.    Termination. 
(a)    (i)    Termination for Cause.  OUTFRONT may, at its option, terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement forthwith for Cause and OUTFRONT thereafter shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay Executive’s Salary or Bonus or provide benefits. “Cause” shall mean: (i) dishonesty; (ii) embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or perjury; (iii) willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information; (iv) Executive’s failure to obey a material lawful directive that is appropriate to Executive’s position from an executive(s) in Executive’s reporting line; (v) Executive’s failure to comply with the written policies of OUTFRONT, including OUTFRONT’s Code of Conduct or successor conduct statement as they apply from time to time; (vi) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement (including any representations herein); (vii) Executive’s failure (except in the event of her Disability) or refusal to substantially perform Executive’s material obligations under this Agreement; (viii) willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities or the destruction or failure to preserve documents or other material reasonably likely to be relevant to such an investigation, or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to destroy or fail to produce documents or other material; or (ix) conduct which is considered an offense involving moral turpitude under federal, state or local laws, or which might bring Executive to public disrepute, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably upon any of OUTFRONT’s businesses or those who conduct business with OUTFRONT and its affiliated entities. OUTFRONT will give Executive written notice prior to terminating Executive’s employment pursuant to (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of this paragraph 8(a), setting forth the nature of any alleged failure, breach or refusal in reasonable detail and the conduct required to cure if capable of cure. Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, Executive shall have ten (10) business days from the giving of such notice within which to cure any failure, breach or refusal under (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of this paragraph 8(a); provided, however, that, if OUTFRONT reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of ten (10) business days, OUTFRONT may give her notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances. 
		
	(ii)
	Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.  Executive may, at her option, resign from her employment under this Agreement at any time without Good Reason (as defined below) by providing OUTFRONT with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, in which case, Executive shall be paid the Accrued Obligations (as defined in paragraph 8(c)), and such resignation shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement. 

(b)    Termination Without Cause; Termination for Good Reason.  OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time during the Term by written notice to Executive (“Termination Without Cause”). In addition, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason (“Termination for Good Reason”) at any time during the Term by written notice of termination to OUTFRONT given no more than sixty (60) days after Executive first learns of the event constituting Good Reason. Such notice shall state an effective termination date that is not earlier than thirty (30) days and not 

9

Exhibit 10.1

later than sixty (60) days after the date it is given to OUTFRONT, provided that OUTFRONT may set an earlier effective date for Executive’s termination at any time after receipt of Executive’s notice. For purposes of this Agreement (and any other agreement that expressly incorporates the definition of Good Reason hereunder), “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s consent (other than in connection with the termination or suspension of Executive’s employment or duties for Cause or in connection with Executive’s physical and mental incapacity): (A) a material reduction in Executive’s Salary or Target Bonus percentage in effect prior to such reduction; (B) a material reduction in Executive’s positions, titles, authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (C) the assignment to Executive of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities as they shall exist as of the commencement of the Term or that materially impair Executive’s ability to function as Chief Human Resources Officer of OUTFRONT; (D) the material breach by OUTFRONT of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between it and Executive; or (E) the requirement that Executive relocate more than a 50 mile radius outside the Borough of Manhattan. OUTFRONT shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of Executive’s notice within which to cure and in the event of such cure Executive’s notice shall be of no further force or effect. If no cure is effected, Executive’s termination will be effective as of the date specified in Executive’s written notice to OUTFRONT or such earlier effective date set by OUTFRONT following receipt of Executive’s notice.
(c)    Termination Payments/Benefits.  In the event that Executive’s employment terminates under paragraph 8(b) during the Term hereof, subject to paragraph 18, Executive shall thereafter receive, less applicable withholding taxes, (x) any unpaid Salary through and including the date of termination, any unpaid Bonus earned for the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which Executive is terminated, any business expense reimbursements incurred but not yet approved and/or paid and such other amounts as are required to be paid or provided by law (the “Accrued Obligations”), payable within thirty (30) days following Executive’s termination date, and (y) subject to Executive’s compliance with paragraph 8(f) hereunder, the following payments and benefits:
		
	(i)
	a severance amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then current base Salary described in paragraph 3(a), payable in accordance with OUTFRONT’s then effective payroll practices (the “Severance Payment”);

		
	(ii)
	a prorated bonus for that portion of the year of such termination during which Executive actively rendered services, paid in accordance with the EBP (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”).  The precise amount of bonus payable, if any, will be determined in a manner consistent with the manner bonus pay determinations are made for comparable executives, and such bonus, if any, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, shall be payable by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the termination occurs in accordance with EBP guidelines;

		
	(iii)
	all outstanding equity awards (or portions thereof) granted to Executive on or after the commencement of the Term in connection with Executive’s 

10

Exhibit 10.1

employment with OUTFRONT shall accelerate and vest immediately in full on the date of Executive’s termination of employment and be settled as soon as administratively feasible (but no later than ten (10) business days thereafter); provided, however, that with respect to awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date, in the event and limited to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”), such award shall vest if and to the extent the Compensation Committee of the Board certifies that a level of the performance goal relating to such award has been met, or, if later, the Release Effective Date (as defined below), and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that with respect to such awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date, in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award, such award shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and
		
	(iv)
	to the extent that the Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason is considered a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and which results in Executive’s loss of eligibility for medical and/or dental benefits under OUTFRONT’s then effective benefit plans, Executive shall be eligible for continued coverage under the existing plans applicable to Executive and/or continued medical and dental coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, 29 U.S.C. section 1161 et seq. (“COBRA”) until the earlier of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of Executive’s termination, or (B) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for medical and dental coverage from a third-party employer. If Executive elects to continue Executive’s coverage under OUTFRONT’s medical and/or dental plans under COBRA, and if Executive signs the release described in paragraph 8(f) hereof, OUTFRONT will provide Executive’s coverage at no cost for a time period up to twelve (12) months (assuming Executive does not become covered under another group plan sooner). Any COBRA coverage beyond this time period will be at Executive’s own cost. The amount OUTFRONT will pay for continued medical and/ or dental COBRA coverage following Executive’s Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason, if any, will be treated as taxable income and will be reported on a Form W-2, and OUTFRONT may withhold taxes from Executive’s compensation for this purpose. The parties agree that, consistent with the provisions of Section 409A, the following in-kind benefit rules shall also apply: (x) the amount of in-kind benefits paid during a calendar year will not affect the in-kind benefits, if any, provided 

11

Exhibit 10.1

to Executive in any other calendar year; and (y) Executive’s right to in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
The Severance Payment is in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any OUTFRONT plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in this paragraph 8(c)).

Each payment under this paragraph 8(c) shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A. Any payment under this paragraph 8(c) that is not made during the period following Executive’s Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason because Executive has not executed the release described in paragraph 8(f), shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum on the first payroll date following the last day of the Release Effective Date (as defined in paragraph 8(f)); provided that Executive executes and does not revoke the release in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 8(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by OUTFRONT) and has actually, or is deemed to have, incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Termination”) and if any portion of Executive’s base salary or Pro-Rata Bonus that would be paid to Executive (for Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason) during the six-month period following such 409A Termination constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), such portion shall be paid to Executive on the earlier of (A) the first business day of the seventh month following the month in which Executive’s 409A Termination occurs or (B) Executive’s death (the applicable date, the “Permissible Payment Date”) rather than as described in the prior sentence, and remaining payments of base salary and/or Pro-Rata Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive or to Executive’s estate, as applicable, by payment of Executive’s base salary on regular payroll dates commencing with the payroll date that follows the Permissible Payment Date and by payment of any Pro-Rata Bonus on the first payroll date that follows the Permissible Payment Date.
(d)    Termination of Benefits.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 8(c) with respect to medical and dental benefits), participation in all OUTFRONT benefit plans and programs (including, without limitation, vacation accrual, all retirement and related excess plans and LTD) will terminate upon the termination of Executive’s employment except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such plans or programs and subject to any vested rights she may have under the terms of such plans or programs. The foregoing shall not apply to the LTIP and, after the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive’s rights under the LTIP shall be governed by the terms of the LTIP award agreements or certificates and the applicable LTIP plan(s) and this Agreement.
(e)    Resignation from Official Positions.  If Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT terminates for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned at that time from any and all officer or director positions that Executive may have held with OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies and all board seats or other positions in other entities Executive held on behalf of 

12

Exhibit 10.1

OUTFRONT, including any fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by OUTFRONT. If, for any reason, this paragraph 8(e) is deemed insufficient to effectuate such resignation, Executive agrees to execute, upon the request of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, any documents or instruments which OUTFRONT may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignation or resignations and Executive hereby authorizes the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies to execute any such documents or instruments as Executive’s attorney-in-fact.
(f)    Release and Compliance with Paragraph 6.
		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to payment by OUTFRONT of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to paragraph 8(c), within sixty (60) days following Executive’s termination of employment, (A) Executive shall have executed and delivered to OUTFRONT a general release in a form satisfactory to OUTFRONT and (B) such general release shall have become effective and irrevocable in its entirety (such date, the “Release Effective Date”); provided, however, that if, at the time any cash severance payments are scheduled to be paid to Executive pursuant to paragraph 8(c) Executive has not executed a general release that has become effective and irrevocable in its entirety, then any such cash severance payments shall be held and accumulated without interest, and shall be paid to her on the first regular payroll date following the Release Effective Date. Executive’s failure or refusal to sign and deliver the release or her revocation of an executed and delivered release in accordance with applicable laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under paragraph 8(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sixty (60) day period does not begin and end in the same calendar year, then the Release Effective Date shall occur no earlier than January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which her termination occurs.

		
	(ii)
	Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the payments and benefits described in paragraph 8(c) shall immediately cease, and OUTFRONT shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, in the event that Executive materially breaches any provision of paragraph 6 hereof.

9.    Death.  In the event of Executive’s death prior to the end of the Term while actively employed, Executive’s beneficiary or estate shall receive (a) Executive’s Salary up to the date on which the death occurs; (b) any Bonus earned in the prior year but not yet paid; and (c) bonus compensation for the calendar year in which the death occurs, determined in accordance with the EBP (i.e., based upon OUTFRONT’s achievement of its goals and OUTFRONT’s good faith estimate of Executive’s achievement of Executive’s personal goals) and pro-rated for the portion of the year through the date of death, payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, 

13

Exhibit 10.1

by February 28th of the following year in accordance with EBP guidelines. In addition, all outstanding equity awards (or portions thereof) granted to Executive in connection with Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall accelerate and vest immediately on the date of death and be settled as soon as administratively feasible (but no later than ten (10) business days thereafter). In the event of Executive’s death after the termination of Executive’s employment while Executive is entitled to receive compensation under paragraph 8(c), Executive’s beneficiary or estate shall receive (i) any Salary payable under paragraph 8(c)(i) up to the date on which the death occurs; and (ii) bonus compensation for the calendar year in which the death occurs in an amount equal to Executive’s Target Bonus and pro-rated for the portion of the year through the date of death, payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in a lump sum no later than February 28th of the following year.
10.    Equal Opportunity Employer; Employee Statement of Business Conduct.  Executive acknowledges that OUTFRONT is an equal opportunity employer. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has read and fully understands the OUTFRONT Equal Employment Opportunity (“EEO”) policy and that Executive is in full compliance with the terms of the EEO policy.

Executive acknowledges that Executive has been furnished a copy of OUTFRONT’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”). Executive represents and warrants that Executive has read and fully understands all of the requirements thereof, and that Executive is in full compliance with the terms of the Code.  Executive further represents and warrants that at all times during the Term hereof, Executive shall perform Executive’s services hereunder in full compliance with the Code and other applicable OUTFRONT policies, as may be amended from time to time, and with any revisions thereof or additions thereto.
11.    Notices.  All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given if served personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their addresses above indicated or any other address designated in writing by either party, with a copy, in the case of OUTFRONT, to the attention of the General Counsel of OUTFRONT. Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given three (3) days following such mailing.
12.    Assignment.  This is an Agreement for the performance of personal services by Executive and may not be assigned by Executive or OUTFRONT except that OUTFRONT may assign this Agreement to any affiliated company of or any successor in interest to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliates, provided such successor agrees to assume OUTFRONT’s obligations under this Agreement. 
13.    New York Law, Etc.  Executive acknowledges that this Agreement has been executed, in whole or in part, in New York, and Executive’s employment duties are primarily performed in New York. Accordingly, Executive agrees that this Agreement and all matters

or issues arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely therein. 
14.    No Implied Contract.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation on OUTFRONT or Executive to renew this Agreement or any portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written agreement and no negotiation, exchange of draft or partial performance shall be deemed to imply an agreement. Neither the continuation of employment nor any other conduct shall be deemed to imply a continuing agreement upon the expiration of the Term. 
15.    Entire Understanding.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter contained in this Agreement, and can be changed only by a writing signed by both parties. 
16.    Void Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstances, shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application were reduced, then such provision shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable, and shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
17.    Supersedes Prior Agreements. With respect to the period covered by the Term, this Agreement supersedes and cancels all prior agreements and arrangements relating to Executive’s employment by OUTFRONT, a predecessor or any of its affiliated companies, whether formal or informal, written or oral, including without limitation, Executive’s letter employment agreement, dated May 5, 2014.
18.    Deductions and Withholdings, Payment of Deferred Compensation – Section 409A. 
(a)    To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed in a manner to give effect to such intention. In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to as a result of this paragraph 18 or otherwise) shall OUTFRONT nor any of its affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive (or Executive’s beneficiaries, successors or representatives) under Section 409A. Neither OUTFRONT nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. Executive acknowledge that Executive has been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Section 409A.
(b)    Executive’s right to any in-kind benefit or reimbursement benefits pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of OUTFRONT covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for cash or another benefit.  In addition, if any reimbursements would constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 

15

Exhibit 10.1

409A, the amount to be reimbursed will be limited to Executive’s lifetime and the lifetime of Executive’s eligible dependents and the amount eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. 
19.    Arbitration.  If any disagreement or dispute whatsoever shall arise between the parties concerning this Agreement (including the documents referenced herein) or Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT, the parties hereto agree that such disagreement or dispute shall be submitted to arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA” ), and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Rules”). Such arbitration shall be confidential and private and conducted in accordance with the Rules. Any such arbitration proceeding shall take place in New York City before a single arbitrator (rather than a panel of arbitrators). The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages and waive, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to recover such damages in such arbitration. Each party shall bear its respective costs (including attorneys’ fees, and there shall be no award of attorneys’ fees). Judgment upon the final award rendered by such arbitrator, after giving effect to the AAA internal appeals process, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, OUTFRONT shall be entitled to seek injunctive, provisional and equitable relief in a court proceeding as a result of Executive’s alleged violation of the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement, and Executive hereby consents and agrees to exclusive personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.
20.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile, and all of the counterparts shall constitute one fully executed agreement.  The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart. 
21.    Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of OUTFRONT and Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.
