Second Amendment and Restatement, Effective January 1, 2008

 

1.

Purpose . This Management Supplemental Retirement Plan was adopted effective October 1, 1987 (as the State Street Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) in order to increase the overall effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program so as to attract, retain, and motivate qualified senior management personnel, by providing benefits that are consistent with the particular needs of such personnel, and that are supplemental to benefits provided under the State Street Retirement Plan.

Company, payment of the Participant’s Supplemental Plan Benefit accrued prior to such Separation from Service shall not be suspended or otherwise delayed.

 

7.

Administration and Claims . The complete authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be placed in the Committee. The determination of the Committee as to any disputed question shall be conclusive. All actions, decisions and interpretations of the Committee shall be performed in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner. The Committee has established the procedures set forth on Exhibit A for determining claims for benefits under the Plan.

8.

Miscellaneous .

 

 

(a)

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

 

 

(b)

Certain tax matters . Payments hereunder shall be reduced by required tax withholdings. If any portion of a Participant’s Supplemental Plan Benefit is determined by the Committee to be includible by reason of Section 409A in a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s income prior to the time provided for payment under paragraph 6 above, such portion shall be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary as soon as practicable.

 

 

(c)

Inalienability of benefits . Except as required by law, no benefit under, or interest in, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. Neither the Participant, nor a Spouse, nor any Beneficiary shall be entitled to have such payments commuted or made otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

 

(d)

Reclassification of Employment Status . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an individual who is not characterized or treated as a common law employee by the Company shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. However, in the event that such an individual is reclassified or deemed to be reclassified as a common law employee, the individual shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the Entry Date coinciding with or next following the reclassification date (to the extent such individual otherwise qualifies as an to participate in the Plan). If the effective date of any such reclassification is prior to the actual date of such reclassification, in no event shall the reclassified individual be eligible to participate in the Plan retroactively to the effective date of such reclassification.

(e)

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

 

 

(f)

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

 

 

(g)

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

 

9.

Amendment or Discontinuance . The Committee may amend or discontinue this Plan at any time without prior notice of intent. However, the Company undertakes to ensure that this Plan will be binding upon any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any person, firm or corporation with which the Company may be merged or consolidated or which may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
