June 22, 2021 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx Dear Xxxxxxxxx: In connection with your relocation to the United States, I am pleased to offer you employment with State Street Bank and Trust Company (together with its parent, State Street Corporation, and its or their direct and indirect subsidiaries “State Street” or the “Company”). This letter and the documents attached to it, including the Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached as Appendix A, contain the Company’s offer of employment to you (the “Offer of Employment”). To accept this Offer of Employment, please sign and date one copy of this document and return it by either e-mailing a scanned copy or faxing a copy to me. The acceptance must be received no later than 5 business days from the date reflected above or the offer will expire and be of no further force or effect. Your expected relocation date is July 1, 2021. Please retain a copy of this Offer of Employment for your records. General Terms Position Details You will be employed in the position of Chief Executive Officer, Institutional Services with a Bank Title of Executive Vice President. You will initially report to Xxx X’Xxxxxx and will have a primary working location at State Street Financial Center in Boston, Massachusetts. You agree to perform the duties of your position and such other duties as may be assigned to you from time to time, in a diligent and competent manner. Further, while employed by State Street, you will devote your full working time and your best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the business interests of State Street. Your agreement to do so is a material inducement to State Street’s willingness to extend this offer of employment to you. This is a full-time position. Base Compensation State Street will pay you a base salary at the initial gross rate of $700,000, annually for all hours worked. You will not be eligible to earn overtime pay. State Street currently uses a bi- weekly pay cycle which generally results in payment every other Friday. State Street may adjust this base salary and pay cycle from time to time. Incentive Compensation Plan Participation State Street’s approach to employee compensation is based on total compensation and pay- for-performance. Employees generally have the opportunity to earn some type of variable, discretionary incentive pay in addition to base compensation through State Street’s incentive compensation or structured incentive plans. Incentive compensation may be delivered in the form of immediate or deferred awards. Receipt of incentive compensation is subject to the
Information Classification: Limited Access terms and conditions of the applicable plan and deferred award documents approved by the Board of Directors of State Street Corporation (the “Board”) or its delegate as in effect from time to time, including any forfeiture and/or clawback provisions therein. Although State Street intends to continue to use incentive compensation and structured incentive plans to reward performance indefinitely, it may amend, modify or terminate its plans and programs at any time. State Street’s incentive compensation program is subject to the applicable guidance and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and of other United States and international regulators, which may require that certain risk- mitigating features be included in your incentive awards. Because your position will be deemed a “material risk taker” position for FRB purposes, your incentive awards will be subject to applicable clawback/forfeiture requirements. You will be eligible to be considered for annual discretionary incentive compensation awards under the State Street incentive compensation plan applicable to your role (the “Plan”). Awards under the Plan are made at the sole discretion of the Board or its delegate and are based upon company performance, individual performance, risk factors and such other factors as determined by the Board or its delegate. State Street may adjust the proportion of cash and deferred compensation in each award, the type, form and structure of deferred compensation, as well as the threshold for deferred compensation eligibility at any time. Incentive compensation awards are typically made in the first quarter of each calendar year. You must be employed on the date an award is made in order to earn and receive it. Incentive Award Targets for 2021 and 2022. You will be eligible to be considered for incentive compensation awards for 2021 and 2022 under the Plan. A target amount of $6,575,000 will be used in determining the amount of your 2021 award. A target amount of $7,300,000 will be used in determining the amount of your 2022 award. Please understand that these targets are not a guarantee but represent the approximate amounts you may be awarded under the Plan with respect to your performance in 2021 and 2022, as applicable. Like all awards under State Street incentive compensation plans, whether or not you receive an award, and, if so, the amount ultimately awarded to you, are decisions made in the sole discretion of State Street based upon Company performance, individual performance factors, risk factors, overall Plan funding, the capital reserve requirements of State Street, your 2021 or 2022 performance assessment, as applicable, and such other factors as determined by the Board or its delegate in its discretion. Each target will be used in determining the amount of your incentive compensation award for the specified year only and will not be used to determine any other awards you are considered for in any State Street incentive plan for subsequent years. The amount awarded to you, if anything, may vary, up or down, from year to year. Payment under the Plan will be made in cash and/or deferred awards, pursuant to the cash/deferral split determined by the Board or its delegate in its discretion. Award of incentive compensation in one year does not guarantee an award in any future year. Expatriate and Other Benefits
Information Classification: Limited Access Effective July 1, 2021, you will no longer be eligible for an expatriate allowance or other expatriate benefits. Reporting Location, Commuting. and Business Travel Effective July 1, 2021, your reporting location will be our offices in Boston, Massachusetts. We understand that you will likely elect not to live in the Boston area. In that case, you will be personally responsible for the cost of any travel to and from our offices in Boston as well as any personal income tax liability related to your presence in Massachusetts, just as you would if you instead chose to live in the Boston area. As was agreed during your prior employment in Hong Kong, State Street will also continue the practice of providing you first-class air travel for your business travel. However, you will be responsible for reimbursing the Company for the aggregate incremental cost of any business travel originating from a city other than Boston for non-business reasons. By way of example, if you elect to continue to live in Miami, Florida, and the cost of first-class airfare from your home in Miami to visit a client exceeds the cost of comparable travel from Boston, you will be required to reimburse the Company for that difference. Benefit Program Participation You will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs that State Street makes available to its U.S. employees, subject to the eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions contained in the applicable plan documents. The State Street Benefits Overview, which provides information regarding State Street’s current benefit plan offerings, will be provided under a separate cover. Certain additional benefits are also provided to executives at the Executive Vice President level within the Company, such as an executive physical examination program and umbrella liability insurance. Visit Fidelity NetBenefits at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxx for additional information about State Street’s benefits plans. State Street also provides a wide variety of talent development opportunities, which include online and instructor-led classes across a wide range of disciplines and topics, as well as mentors and numerous on-the-job experiences and skill-building opportunities. Although State Street intends to continue to offer valuable employee benefits and training programs for its employees indefinitely, it may amend, modify or terminate such programs at any time. Vacation Currently, State Street’s policies allow you to accrue vacation time at the rate of four (4) weeks per year. Vacation currently accrues annually, on a calendar year basis. You will begin
Information Classification: Limited Access earning vacation at this rate commencing on your relocation date. For more information, please refer to the State Street Benefits Overview.

If any restriction set forth in this Appendix A is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. 12.

Associated Companies 6.1 Clauses 2 to 5 (inclusive) above and the definitions in this Agreement will also apply as though references to Company were substituted with references to each Associated Company.

You acknowledge and agree that the Company and each of the Associated Companies may independently enforce this Agreement against you including by obtaining and enforcing injunctive relief under Clause 9. 6.5 The rights and obligations under these covenants shall remain in full force and effect and survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. 7.

Accordingly, the Company and any of its Associated Companies shall each be entitled to preliminary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief or remedy without the need to post bond, and to recover its or their reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in securing such relief, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other relief or remedy at law to which it or they may be entitled. You further agree that, the periods of restriction contained in this Agreement shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period in which you are in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so that the Company and its Associated Companies shall have the full protection of the periods agreed to herein. 10. No Waiver No delay by the Company or any of its Associated Companies in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right or of any other right. Any waiver or consent as to any of the provisions herein provided by the Company or any of its Associated Companies must be in writing, is effective only in that instance, and may not be construed as a broader waiver of rights or as a bar to enforcement of the provision(s) at issue on any other occasion. 11.

Information Classification: Limited Access 7 of them, whether such additional obligations have been agreed to in the past, or are agreed to in the future. 12.

The Company and its Associated Companies do not waive any applicable privileges or the right to continue to protect its and their privileged attorney-client information, attorney work product, and other privileged information. 13. Miscellaneous 13.1 The various provisions and sub-provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any provision or sub-provision is held to be unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction then such unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions or sub-provisions in this Agreement. 13.2 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
