9



indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement (as defined in Amendment No. 5 to this Schedule 13D) of the persons filing this statement and the former stockholders of REC and RHC. Any shares held under the Escrow Agreement at the end of the fifth anniversary of the date of the Escrow Agreement will be distributed to the trust that pledged such shares unless a claim for indemnification remains outstanding, in which case shares having a value of twice the amount of the unresolved claim shall be retained pending resolution of the claim. The shares so pledged do not represent a limitation on the indemnification obligations of such persons and stockholders as Aon will be permitted to seek recovery either under the Escrow Agreement or directly from such persons and stockholders. The foregoing discussion of the Escrow Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the form of Escrow Agreement included as an exhibit to this statement and hereby incorporated by reference.

        Voting Agreement.    Under the Voting Agreement, each of Patrick G. Ryan, Jr., Robert J.W. Ryan and a trust for the benefit of Corbett M.W. Ryan, the trustee of which trust is Shirley W.

Ryan cease to be the trustee thereof, such trusts will vote the shares of Aon Common Stock owned or controlled by them in the manner described in the preceding sentence. Patrick G. Ryan has been appointed proxy for purposes of voting the shares of Aon Common Stock in accordance with such voting agreements. The Voting Agreement also places certain restrictions on the ability of the persons filing this statement and certain trusts for which one or more of such persons is trustee to transfer shares of Aon Common Stock to anyone other than such persons or trusts. The Voting Agreement terminates upon the death of Patrick G. Ryan. The foregoing discussion of the Voting Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the form of Voting Agreement included as an exhibit to this statement and hereby incorporated by reference.

        Patrick G. Ryan and certain trusts for whom he or Shirley W. Ryan is a trustee have revolving and other credit facilities with various financial institutions. Substantially all of the shares of Aon Common Stock beneficially owned by the persons filing this statement (but not including the shares held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) have been pledged as of August 12, 2002 (subject to a right to withdraw such shares from the pledge depending on loan-to-collateral ratios) to secure repayment of such amounts as may be outstanding under such facilities from time to time. Additional shares of Aon Common Stock may be pledged by such persons from time to time hereafter to secure borrowings under such facilities or other facilities entered into in the future.

    beneficial owner or obtains voting control of the SWR Shares (through bequest or otherwise) shall become a Subject Shareholder. Such Person, if not already a party to this Agreement, shall be required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of Section 1(a) and 1(b) hereof.

        4.    Transfers of Rights.    

            (a)  A Ryan Family Stockholder may not Transfer any of its Ryan Family Shares, directly or indirectly, except upon compliance with the terms of this Section 4.

                (i)  Except as provided in Section 4(b) or (c), if any Ryan Family Stockholder desires to Transfer any of its Ryan Family Shares (such Ryan Family Stockholder being referred to herein as the "Ryan Family Transferor Member") to any Person, the Ryan Family Transferor shall promptly furnish to all other Ryan Family Stockholders, a notice (the "Notice of Transfer") of such desire to Transfer such Ryan Family Shares and (A) if a bona fide offer has been made to purchase such Ryan Family Shares, the bona fide offered price for such Ryan Family Shares proposed to be Transferred, the method of payment of such offered price, the identity of the prospective purchaser or purchasers (the "Proposed Purchaser") and all other pertinent terms and conditions of such bona fide offer or (B) if the proposed Transfer is to other than a Person making a bona fide offer to purchase the Ryan Family Shares, the Fair Market Value of the Ryan Family Shares and the identity of the proposed transferees.

              (ii)  For a period of 5 days commencing on the date of delivery of the Notice of Transfer, the Ryan Family Stockholders shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of the Ryan Family Shares proposed to be transferred on the same terms as set forth in the Notice of Transfer; provided, however, that the price for such Ryan Family Shares shall be equal to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of such Ryan Family Shares and (B) the price set forth in the Notice of Transfer. The specific portion of such Ryan Family Shares which each Ryan Family Stockholder shall be so entitled to purchase shall be determined on a pro rata basis in proportion to the respective Ryan Family Shares owned by each Ryan Family Stockholder desiring to purchase the Ryan Family Shares available for purchase. If any Ryan Family Stockholder desires to purchase the Ryan Family Shares, it shall give notice of such desire to the Ryan Family Transferor and the other Ryan Family Stockholders confirming such desire. If any Ryan Family Stockholder does not purchase its full pro rata share of any such Ryan Family Shares proposed to be Transferred, such unpurchased Ryan Family Shares shall be offered by the Ryan Family Transferor to the Ryan Family Stockholders subscribing to purchase Ryan Family Shares on a pro rata basis on similar terms of purchase.

              (iii)  If the Ryan Family Stockholders do not purchase, in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above, all of the Ryan Family Shares proposed to be Transferred by the Ryan Family Transferor, then for an additional period of 3 days commencing on the earlier of the date that (A) the Ryan Family Stockholders' right to purchase such Ryan Family Shares has expired or the Ryan Family Stockholders notify the Ryan Family Transferor in writing that the Ryan Family Stockholders have determined not to exercise such right or (B) the Ryan Family Stockholders each notify the Ryan Family Transferor in writing of their collective intent to exercise such right only with respect to a portion of such Ryan Family Shares, the Ryan Family Affiliates shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of the Ryan Family Shares not so purchased by the Ryan Family Stockholders on the same terms and conditions and at the same price at which the Ryan Family Stockholders were so entitled to purchase such Ryan Family Shares remaining for purchase. The specific portion of such Ryan Family Shares which each Ryan Family Affiliate shall be so entitled to purchase shall be determined by SWR. If any Ryan Family Affiliate desires to purchase the Ryan Family Shares, it shall give notice of

3



      such desire to the Ryan Family Transferor and the Ryan Family Stockholders confirming such desire.

              (iv)  The closing of any purchase by the Ryan Family Stockholders or any Ryan Family Affiliates (each a "Ryan Family Purchaser") of any offered Ryan Family Shares as provided in this Section 4(a) shall take place on such date as designated by such Ryan Family Purchaser occurring within 10 days after receipt by the Ryan Family Transferor of notice from such Ryan Family Purchaser of the exercise of such Ryan Family Purchaser's right to purchase hereunder. At the closing of any purchase of the Ryan Family Shares, the Ryan Family Transferor will transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to be transferred, assigned and delivered to the Ryan Family Purchaser any certificates or other evidence representing the Ryan Family Shares being purchased, duly endorsed or accompanied by transfer powers duly executed by the Ryan Family Transferor or his duly appointed legal representative or authorized agent with such signature thereon duly guaranteed. Upon the delivery of and payment for the Ryan Family Shares as contemplated in this Agreement, the Ryan Family Purchaser shall receive good title to such Ryan Family Shares free and clear of any lien, claim, equity or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever. Upon request by the Ryan Family Purchaser, the Ryan Family Transferor shall deliver an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Ryan Family Purchaser, as to the matters contained in the preceding sentence and as to such other matters as the Ryan Family Purchaser may reasonably request.

              (v)  If, after compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a) the Ryan Family Stockholders and the Ryan Family Affiliates, taken together, fail to purchase all of the Ryan Family Shares proposed to be Transferred by the Ryan Family Transferor, then for a period of 15 days commencing on the date that none of Ryan Family Stockholders or any Ryan Family Affiliates remain entitled to exercise their respective rights to purchase any offered Ryan Family Shares in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a)(i), the Ryan Family Transferor may Transfer any of the Ryan Family Shares described in the Notice of Transfer which the Ryan Family Stockholders or any Ryan Family Affiliates are not purchasing; provided, however, that any such Transfer must be made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Transfer, except that the price shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of such Ryan Family Shares on the date of such Transfer and (ii) price set forth in the Notice of Transfer. All Ryan Family Shares so Transferred shall no longer be subject to this Agreement. If the Ryan Family Transferor shall not consummate the Transfer of such remaining Ryan Family Shares within such 15-day period, such Ryan Family Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Ryan Family Transferor shall not thereafter Transfer any such Ryan Family Shares to any Person without again first complying with all of the provisions of this Agreement.

4



    (A) the death or divorce of such lineal descendant with respect to all Ryan Family Shares owned by such Marriage Affiliate immediately prior to such death or divorce and (B) the receipt of any Ryan Family Shares by such Marriage Affiliate as a result of such death or divorce with respect to such Ryan Family Shares so received, (ii) the Ryan Family Shares subject to a Notice of Transfer required by (i) shall be considered the subject of a proposed Transfer at the Fair Market Value, and (iii) Section 4(a) shall apply to all such Ryan Family Shares subject to a Notice of Transfer required by (i) except that a period of 60 days shall be substituted for any reference to a period of days in such Section 4(a).

            (d)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Ryan Family Stockholder may pledge, hypothecate or encumber Ryan Family Shares, to the extent such pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance is made to a party pursuant to a bona fide pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of such Ryan Family Shares as collateral security for indebtedness due to such party (the "Bona Fide Pledgee"), provided that (i) upon any release or termination of such pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, such shares shall continue to constitute Ryan Family Shares and the holder of such Ryan Family Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of foreclosure or other similar action (including, with respect to indebtedness incurred pursuant to a loan agreement or credit facility entered into on or prior to the date of this Agreement, any other sale or transfer of such shares at a time when the lender is entitled to exercise its right to foreclose and sell such pledged shares under the terms and conditions of the pledge, security or similar agreement related to such loan agreement or credit facility where the proceeds therefrom will be used to satisfy such indebtedness (and costs and expenses payable by the borrower pursuant to such loan agreement or credit facility) upon a default of the borrower's obligations under the terms of such loan agreement or credit facility) by the Bona Fide Pledgee, any such pledged shares may be transferred in any manner permitted by law free and clear of all terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement.

            (e)  (i) The "Fair Market Value" of a share of Aon Common Stock or CSC Common Stock, as the case may be, shall be the average of the per share daily prices on the New York Stock Exchange of Aon Common Stock or CSC Common Stock, as the case may be, as reported in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions (on the Transaction Reporting System operated by the Consolidated Tape Association) during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to (i) Notice of the Transfer in the case of a Ryan Family Stockholder or Ryan Family Affiliate, or (ii) consummation of a Transfer to any other Person pursuant to Section 4(a)(v) above.

              (ii)  "Ryan Family Affiliate" means (A) PGR, SWR and any of the lineal descendants, spouses of lineal descendants and lineal descendants of such spouses, including adoptive children of each of such persons, of PGR or SWR, (B) the custodian under any Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or similar law for a minor who is a person described in (A), (C) a trust (including a voting trust) of which one or more persons described in (A) or organizations that qualify as a tax exempt organization pursuant to 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are the primary beneficiaries, (D) a corporation of which one or more Ryan Family Affiliates collectively beneficially own a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, a partnership of which one or more Ryan Family Affiliates collectively beneficially own a majority of the partnership interests entitled to participate in the management of the partnership, a member managed limited liability company of which one or more Ryan Family Affiliates collectively beneficially own a majority of the outstanding member interests entitled to participate in the management of the limited liability company, or a manager managed limited liability company of which a majority of the managers entitled to participate in decisions with respect to the voting or disposition by the limited liability company of the Restricted Shares (as defined in the Stock Restriction Agreement) are Ryan Family Affiliates, (E) the estate of a person described in

              (iv)  "Person" means any general partnership, limited partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, business trust, governmental agency, cooperative, association, individual or other entity, and the heirs, executors, administrations, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such person, as the context may require.

            (f)    No provision of this Section 4 shall be interpreted in any manner to limit, restrict or curtail the rights and obligations set forth in the Stock Restriction Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of any of the parties hereto or thereto.

            (g)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Ryan Family Stockholder may Transfer Ryan Family Shares without complying with the provisions of Section 4(a) if such Ryan Family Stockholder must repay all or any portion of any debt incurred or guaranteed by such Ryan Family Stockholder in favor of a person or entity other than a Ryan Family Stockholder and such Ryan Family Stockholder determines, in his, hers or its sole discretion, that such Transfer is necessary or appropriate to raise funds to allow such Ryan Family Stockholder to do so. Any Ryan Family Stockholder making a Transfer pursuant to this Section 4(g) shall notify the other Ryan Family Stockholders of such Transfer in writing within 30 days after such Transfer, specifying the number of Ryan Family Shares Transferred, the Transferee (if the Transfer is not through a public sale) and the price per share received upon Transfer.

Pronouns used herein, whether masculine, feminine, or neuter, shall be interpreted as the context so requires. The word "including" shall mean "including, without limitation," and thus indicate part of a larger whole; but shall not be interpreted as indicating the stated limits or extremes. Any reference to any federal, state, or local law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.

            (f)    Titles and Subtitles.    The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
