(“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award are specified in materials provided to you by Global & Executive Compensation (“Grant Documentation”). The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”). For employees outside the United States, the Awards are subject to additional terms and conditions as set forth in the country-specific notices (the “Country-Specific Notices”). The Prospectus dated [DATE], also describes important information about the Plan. The Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices (if applicable) and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”. As used herein, “Common Stock” means common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies.

Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.

II. AWARDS


A.	General.


1.	Grant of Award and Award Types. The types of awards that may have been granted to you under the Plan are described below. The description of a type of award in these Terms and Conditions that is not part of the Award does not give or imply any right to such type of award.

Award Acceptance. The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified in the Grant Documentation, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices (if applicable) and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.4. If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the date and in the manner specified in the Grant Documentation, then the Award will be cancelled as of the grant date of the Award.

Rights of Award Holders. Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and cash or shares of Common Stock, as applicable, have been delivered to you in accordance with the Award Documentation, you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of Marsh & McLennan Companies. Unless and until shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you have none of the rights of ownership to such shares (e.g., units cannot be used as payment for stock option exercises; units may not be transferred or assigned; units have no voting rights).


4.	Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As described in Section II.A.2., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award, you

must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III., and you must further execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, and be in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to become distributable to you or to exercise an Option whether or not you are employed by the Company (as defined in Section V.D.) at that time. Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified in the Grant Documentation or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section III.I.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.


B.	Stock Units.


1.	General. A restricted stock unit (“Stock Unit”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, one share of Common Stock after vesting.

Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, 33-1/3% of the Stock Units will vest on [DATE] of [YEAR], [YEAR] and [YEAR]. Each date on which a Stock Unit is scheduled to vest pursuant to this Section II.B.2. is a “Stock Unit Scheduled Vesting Date.” In the event of your termination of employment, the occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.H.) or the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan) prior to a Stock Unit Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to any Stock Units that are unvested immediately prior to your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with Section III. or Section IV., as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining vesting under this Section II.B.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.H.

Dividend Equivalents. For each outstanding Stock Unit covered by the Award, an amount equal to the dividend payment (if any) made in respect of one share of Common Stock (a “Dividend Equivalent”) will accrue in U.S. dollars on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding, with no interest paid on such amounts. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will vest when the Stock Units in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were accrued vest. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will not be paid, and no further Dividend Equivalents will accrue, on Stock Units that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited.


4.	Delivery.


a.	Shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of the Stock Units covered by the Award shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the Stock Unit Scheduled Vesting Date, and in no event later than 60 days following the Stock Unit Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.


b.	The value of vested Dividend Equivalents will be delivered to you in cash as soon as practicable after delivery of the shares of Common Stock described in II.B.4.a above, and in no event later than 60 days following the Stock Unit Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.


c.	The delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable under these Terms and Conditions, is conditioned on the satisfaction or withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.E.


d.	Any shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable following your death shall be delivered to the person or persons to whom your rights pass by will or the law of descent and distribution, and such delivery shall completely discharge Marsh & McLennan Companies and any of its subsidiaries or affiliate’s obligations under the Award.


e.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional delivery rules for certain Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.) are reflected in Section III.K.


C.	Performance Stock Units.

General. A performance stock unit (“PSU”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, a minimum of zero (0) and up to a maximum of two (2) shares of Common Stock after vesting, depending on the achievement, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Marsh & McLennan Companies (the “Committee”), of the financial performance objectives established by the Committee for the Performance Period (as defined in Section V.G.). In the event of your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability prior to the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date (defined below), the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a PSU shall be determined as provided in Sections III. and IV.A.3.


2.	Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, the PSUs are scheduled to vest on [DATE] (the “PSU Scheduled Vesting Date”). In the event of your termination of employment, the occurrence of your Permanent Disability or a Change in Control prior to the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to the PSUs will be determined

in accordance with Section III. or Section IV., as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of this Section II.C.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.H.

Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents (if any) will be paid for each share of Common Stock that is determined under Section II.C.1. to be delivered in respect of a vested PSU. Dividend Equivalents will be calculated as if such share that is to be delivered in respect of a vested PSU was outstanding as of each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding with no interest paid on such amounts. Dividend Equivalents will vest when the PSUs, in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were calculated, vest. Dividend Equivalents will not be paid on PSUs that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited.


4.	Delivery.


a.	Shares of Common Stock deliverable, if any, in respect of the PSUs covered by the Award that vest on the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, and in no event later than 60 days following the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.


b.	The value of vested Dividend Equivalents that vest on the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date will be delivered to you in cash as soon as practicable after delivery of the shares of Common Stock described in II.C.4.a. above, and in no event later than 60 days following the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.


c.	The delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable under these Terms and Conditions, is conditioned on the satisfaction or withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.E.


d.	Any shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable following your death shall be delivered to the person or persons to whom your rights pass by will or the law of descent and distribution, and such delivery shall completely discharge the Company’s obligations under the Award.


e.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional delivery rules for certain Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.) are reflected in Section III.K.


D.	Options.


1.	General. A stock option (“Option”), whether qualified or nonqualified, represents the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Grant

Documentation (the “Option Shares”) each at the exercise price specified in the Grant Documentation.

Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, 25% of the Option Shares covered by the Option will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date of the Award. Each date on which an Option Share covered by the Option is scheduled to vest is an “Option Scheduled Vesting Date.” In the event of your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability prior to an Option Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to any Option Shares covered by the Option that are unvested immediately prior to your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with Section III. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of this Section II.D.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.H.


3.	Term. Subject to your continued employment, the Option will expire on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the Award (“Option Expiration Date”). If your employment terminates before the Option Expiration Date, your right to exercise any vested Option Shares covered by the Option will be determined in accordance with Section III.


4.	Exercisability. The Option Shares covered by the Option will become exercisable when they vest. You are responsible for keeping track of exercise periods while actively employed and, if applicable, any post-termination exercise periods.


5.	Method of Exercise of an Option.

General Procedures. An Option may be exercised by written notice to Marsh & McLennan Companies or an agent appointed by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in form and substance satisfactory to Marsh & McLennan Companies, which must state the election to exercise such Option, the number of Option Shares for which such Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as may be required pursuant to the provisions of the Award Documentation (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice must be accompanied by (i) any required income tax forms and (ii) a reaffirmation of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, unless (A) the Option is being exercised after your death in accordance with Section III. or (B) as otherwise determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies.


b.	Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the aggregate exercise price may be made with U.S. dollars or by tendering shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock acquired from a stock option exercise or a stock unit award vesting).


c.	Distribution of Option Shares. The shares of Common Stock from the Option exercise will be distributed as specified in the Exercise Notice, after you have satisfied applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.E., and fees.


E.	Satisfaction of Tax Obligations.


1.	Personal Tax Advisor. Neither the Company nor any Company employee is authorized to provide personal tax advice to you. It is recommended that you consult with your personal tax advisor for more detailed information regarding the tax treatment of the Award, especially before making any decisions that rely on that tax treatment.


2.	U.S. Employees.

Stock Units, Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. Applicable employment taxes are required by law to be withheld when a Stock Unit, PSU or Dividend Equivalent vests, or, if later, when the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a PSU (or the amount of cash payable in respect of a Dividend Equivalent corresponding to a PSU) is determined. Applicable income taxes are required by law to be withheld when shares of Common Stock in respect of Stock Units, PSUs or cash in respect of Dividend Equivalents are delivered to you. A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation.

Options. Applicable taxes (including employment taxes) are required by law to be withheld when a nonqualified Option is exercised. A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock resulting from the Option exercise will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation unless you elect in the Exercise Notice to satisfy all applicable tax withholding in another manner.


3.	Non-U.S. Employees.

Stock Units, Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. In most countries, the value of a Stock Unit, PSU or Dividend Equivalent is generally not taxable on the grant date. If the value of the Stock Unit, PSU or Dividend Equivalent is not taxable on the grant date, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later time, for example, upon delivery of a share of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Unit or PSU that vests, and/or the subsequent sale of the share of Common Stock received in connection with the vesting of the Stock Unit or PSU, or upon delivery of cash in respect of a Dividend Equivalent.


b.	Options. In most countries, the value of an Option is generally not taxable on the grant date. If the value of the Option is not taxable on the grant date, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later time, for example, upon exercise of the Option and delivery of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Option, and/or the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock.

Withholding. Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer shall have the power and the right to deduct and withhold from the Award and other compensation or to require you to remit to Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or to your employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes that Marsh & McLennan Companies expects to be payable under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, payment on account, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, social security contributions and National Insurance Contributions with respect to the Award, and any and all associated tax events derived therefrom. If applicable, Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer may retain and sell a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock distributable in respect of the Award for this purpose.

3.	Options.

General. Except as otherwise provided in Sections III.F.3.b. and IV., in the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your employment is terminated other than for Cause, your rights, title and interest in and to any unvested Option Shares will be canceled upon such termination of employment. Provided that you satisfy the conditions to vesting described in Section III.I.2., any Option Shares that were vested at the time of your termination of employment shall be exercisable until the earlier of 90 days following your termination of employment and the Option Expiration Date.

Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause After Satisfaction of Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting or Full Vesting or You Are Determined to Be Eligible for Retirement Treatment.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an Option Scheduled Vesting Date occurs following the date that your employment is terminated by the Company but prior to the date the Retirement Treatment Committee determines that you are eligible for retirement treatment, the Options Shares that were scheduled to vest on such Option Scheduled Vesting Date will vest on the date you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment.

Your “termination of employment” (or similar terms) shall occur when you have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as further defined herein. Specifically, you will have incurred a “separation from service” when the level of services you provide to the Company in any capacity, including as an employee, director, independent contractor or consultant, does not exceed 20% of the average level of services that you provided to the Company in the preceding 36 months (or shorter period of service if, for example, your total service with the Company is less than 36 months), all as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Marsh & McLennan Companies or an agent appointed by Marsh & McLennan Companies.

Waiver. You acknowledge that neither a waiver by Marsh & McLennan Companies of your breach of any provision of the Award Documentation nor a prior waiver by Marsh & McLennan Companies of a breach of any provision of the Award Documentation by any other participant of the Plan shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Award Documentation, or of any subsequent breach by you.


B.	Additional Provisions-Outside of the United States

Changes to Delivery. In the event that Marsh & McLennan Companies considers that due to legal, regulatory or tax issues the normal delivery of an Award (as described in these Terms and Conditions) to a participant outside the United States would not be appropriate, then Marsh & McLennan Companies may, in its sole discretion, determine how and when the value of the Award will be delivered. Without limitation, this may include making any payments due under the Award in cash instead of shares of Common Stock, or in shares of Common Stock instead of cash, in an amount equivalent to the value of the Award on the date of exercise (for Options) or vesting after payment of applicable taxes and fees and any exercise price or, delivering or paying out the Award as soon as practicable following a termination of employment. If the value of an Award is to be delivered in cash instead of shares of Common Stock, Marsh & McLennan Companies may sell any shares of Common Stock distributable in respect of the Award on your behalf and use the proceeds (after payment of applicable taxes, fees and any exercise price) to satisfy the Award.

Amendment and Modification. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan granted to you in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order for such Award to conform to laws, regulations and customs of the country (other than the United States) in which you are then resident or primarily employed or were resident or primarily employed at the time of grant or during the term of the Award, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to you, as affected by non-U.S. tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of your residence or employment outside of the United States, shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to an individual who is resident or primarily employed in the United States.
