Terms and Conditions for 2005 Award of Nonqualified Performance Contingent Stock Options

to U.S. Grant Recipients

This award of nonqualified stock options (the “Award”) has been granted to you on [Date] (the “Grant Date”) under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“MMC”) 2000 Employee Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”). The Award represents an option to purchase shares of MMC common stock and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

I.	VESTING AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION

Vesting

Subject to your continued employment, twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares covered by these options will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date, beginning with the first anniversary of the Grant Date. Subject to the provisions of Section V herein, in the event of your death, permanent disability or retirement, unvested options will vest at such termination of employment. For all other terminations of employment, all options, whether vested or unvested, will be forfeited as of the date of your termination of employment.

B.	Exercisability

Except as provided in Section VI.A., vested options will become exercisable on the trading day following the tenth consecutive trading day that the closing price of a share of MMC common stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds the grant price of the options by fifteen percent (15%) or more (the “Performance Contingency”) and will remain exercisable until the expiration date of the grant unless such options are subject to an earlier expiration date or forfeited in accordance with Section V. Vested options for which the Performance Contingency is not thereafter satisfied may not be exercised.

II.	METHOD OF EXERCISE

Follow the steps set forth below to exercise a stock option. Your option exercise will be effective on the date on which MMC Global Compensation receives your completed Notice of Option Exercise Form, full payment of the aggregate exercise price and an executed Non-Solicitation Agreement or, if received on different days, the latest of those dates.

A.	Notice of Option Exercise Form

Complete and return a Notice of Option Exercise Form as the form instructs. Oral notices of exercise of options and exercises of less than 200 shares (unless acquiring all vested shares from the option grant) are not accepted. Please indicate whether you are an MMC Insider (e.g., MMC Executive Officer, MMC Controller).

Payment

Notice of Option Exercise Forms will not be processed until payment is received. Payment may be made with (l) U.S. dollars or (2) MMC common stock as follows:

l.	Payment with U.S. Dollars

Send a certified or bank check, payable to Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., for the full amount of the aggregate exercise price, or wire transfer the full amount in U.S. dollars to account number XXX-XXX-XXXX (ABA #XXX-XX-XXXX) at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, New York. Wire transfers are not considered received until the date on which Chase confirms that the funds have been transferred to MMC’s account.

2.	Payment with Shares of MMC Common Stock

You may pay the aggregate exercise price by tendering shares of MMC common stock (including shares acquired from the Stock Purchase Plan, a stock option exercise or a stock award vesting) which you have owned for at least six months prior to the exercise date, having a value equal to or greater than the aggregate exercise price, as follows:

a.	Delivery of Stock Certificate(s)

The stock certificate(s) must be delivered to MMC

(l)	endorsed to Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (the assignee)

- or -

(2)	accompanied by a stock power endorsed to Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

The endorsement must be identical to the registrant's name indicated on the face of the certificate. The signature of endorsement must be guaranteed by a commercial bank or stockbroker.

b.	Valuation of Shares

Any MMC shares delivered as payment of the aggregate exercise price of an option will be valued at the Fair Market Value of MMC common stock. Fair Market Value on a given date means the per share value of stock as determined by using the average of the high and low selling prices of such stock on the immediately preceding date (or, if the New York Stock Exchange was not open that day, the next preceding day that the NYSE was open for trading and the stock was traded)

as reported for such date in the table entitled “NYSE Composite Transactions”,contained in The Wall Street Journal or an equivalent successor table. For example, for a stock option exercise on April 5th, the Fair Market Value of shares tendered, on a per share basis, would be the average of the high and low selling prices of MMC common stock on April 4th.

If the stock submitted for payment exceeds the number of shares required, the excess shares will be returned to you.

C.	Non-Solicitation Agreement

An executed Non-Solicitation Agreement must accompany your completed Notice of Option Exercise Form unless you are exercising the option after you have retired on or after your Normal Retirement Date.

An executed Non-Solicitation Agreement must accompany your Notice of Option Exercise Form. You may obtain a copy of the Agreement for execution from MMC Global Compensation. You may wish to consider consulting an attorney before signing the Agreement. Please retain a copy of your signed Agreement for your records.

2.	Upon Early Retirement

If you retire on or after your Early Retirement Date and before your Normal Retirement Date, all your options will be forfeited as of your termination of employment unless you sign the Non-Solicitation Agreement for Early Retirees (as described in Section V). You may obtain a copy of the Agreement for execution from MMC Global Compensation. You may wish to consider consulting an attorney before signing the Agreement. Please retain a copy of your signed Agreement for your records.

III.	WITHHOLDING

Applicable taxes (including FICA) are required by law to be withheld when a nonqualified stock option is exercised. A sufficient number of the MMC shares resulting from the option exercise will be retained by MMC to satisfy the tax withholding obligation unless you elect on your Notice of Option Exercise Form to satisfy all applicable tax withholding by check.

IV.	REGISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES

A.	The shares from your stock option exercise will be registered as specified in your Notice of Option Exercise Form, as of the date of exercise. The shares may be registered only in (i) your name or (ii) your name and your spouse’s name as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

V.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If your employment with MMC or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Company”) terminates, the following shall apply:

Death

In the event your employment is terminated because of your death, any unvested option will vest at such termination of employment and will become exercisable upon the satisfaction of the Performance Contingency. The person or persons to whom your rights under the option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be entitled to exercise such option (and any option shares that were vested at the time of your death and for which the Performance Contingency has been satisfied) within one year after the date of death, but in no event shall the option be exercised beyond the expiration date of the grant.

B.	Permanent Disability

Should your employment terminate due to total and permanent disability as determined under MMC’s long-term disability program, any unvested option will vest at such termination of employment and will become exercisable upon the satisfaction of the Performance Contingency. Such vested option shares (and any option shares that were vested at the time of your termination of employment and for which the Performance Contingency has been satisfied) shall be exercisable until the expiration date of the grant.

C.	Retirement

In the event you retire from the Company on or after your Normal Retirement Date, any unvested option will vest at such termination of employment and will become exercisable upon the satisfaction of the Performance Contingency. Such vested option shares (and any option shares that were vested at the time of your termination of employment and for which the Performance Contingency has been satisfied) shall be exercisable until the expiration date of the grant.

D.	Early Retirement

Performance Contingency has been satisfied) shall be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of your termination of employment and the expiration date of the grant. Failure to execute and comply with the Non-Solicitation Agreement will result in forfeiture of all your options, whether vested or unvested.

E.	Definitions

As used in Section V.C. and D., the terms “Normal Retirement Date” and “Early Retirement Date” shall have the respective meanings given such terms (or any comparable substitute terms or concepts) set forth in the Company's primary retirement plan applicable to you upon your termination of employment.

F.	All Other Employment Terminations

For all other terminations of employment, all options, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited on the date of termination, except to the extent that the Committee may determine otherwise.

VI.	CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

A.	Change in Control

Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” of MMC, as defined in the Plan, all stock options you hold will become fully vested and exercisable, and any restrictions contained in the terms and conditions of the option grants shall lapse.

B.	Additional Payment

The value of the accelerated vesting of options because of a Change in Control (the “Accelerated Award”) may be subject to a 20% federal excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed when the value, as determined by applicable regulations, of payments in the nature of compensation contingent on a Change in Control (including the Accelerated Award) equals or exceeds three times the average of your last five years’ W-2 earnings.

If a Change in Control occurs and the vesting of your options is accelerated, MMC will determine if the Excise Tax is payable by you. If Excise Tax is payable by you, MMC will pay to you, within five days of making the determination, an amount of money (the “Additional Payment”) such that after payment of applicable federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon the Additional Payment, you will retain an amount of the Additional Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed in respect of the Accelerated Award. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be less than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, a further payment will be made to you. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be more than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, you will be required to reimburse MMC for such excess.

VII.	OTHER PROVISIONS

A.	Neither the granting of the Award nor any exercise thereof gives you any right to continue to be employed by the Company, or restricts, in any way, your right or the right of your employer to terminate your employment at any time for any reason not specifically prohibited by law.

B.	During your lifetime, an option shall be exercisable only by you, and no right thereunder shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Neither you nor any person entitled to exercise your rights in the event of your death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of MMC common stock subject to an option, unless, and until, you have exercised the option, paid the full exercise price thereof, and have received the shares so acquired.

MMC is not liable for the non-issuance or non-transfer, nor for any delay in the issuance or transfer, of any shares of MMC common stock subject to an option or otherwise pursuant to the Plan which results from the inability of MMC to obtain, or in any delay in obtaining, from each regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer shares of MMC common stock, if counsel for MMC deems such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such shares.

The Award is subject to all of these terms and conditions and to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and your acceptance of the Award shall constitute your agreement to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the administrative regulations of the Committee. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail. Your acceptance of the Award constitutes your agreement that the shares of MMC common stock acquired hereunder will not be sold or otherwise disposed of by you in violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations.

An option shall be exercised in accordance with, and the Award shall be subject to, such additional administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt. All decisions of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or under these terms and conditions shall be conclusive and binding.

The Plan, and the granting and exercising of options or awards thereunder, and the obligations of MMC and employees under the Plan, shall be subject to all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required, including, but not limited to, tax and securities regulations. This provision takes precedence over all aforementioned terms and conditions.

H.	The Committee has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan. The Committee is comprised of at least two members of the MMC Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”).

The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant awards under the Plan, except that, without the consent of an affected participant, no such action may materially adversely affect the rights of such participant under any award theretofore granted to him or her. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Board of Directors may not terminate the Plan or amend the Plan with respect to awards that have already been granted in any manner adverse to employees.

Awards relating to not more than eighty million (80,000,000) shares of MMC common stock (par value $1.00 per share), plus such number of shares authorized and reserved for awards pursuant to certain preexisting share resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, may be made over the life of the Plan. Employees of the Company will be eligible for awards under the Plan. MMC common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MMC” and is subject to market price fluctuation. The shares delivered upon exercise of an option may be obtained through open market purchases, treasury stock or newly issued shares.

K.	The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Your right to payment of your Award is the same as the right of an unsecured general creditor of MMC.

L.	There are no investment fees associated with your Award, and MMC pays all administrative expenses associated with your Award.

B.	Discretionary Nature of Award. By accepting this award, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and acknowledge that:

(1) MMC (and not your local employer) is granting your options. Furthermore, these Terms & Conditions are not derived from any preexisting labor relationship between you and MMC, but rather from a mercantile relationship.

You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result or may result from the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under the Plan as a result of such termination.

(5) The grant of options, hereunder, and any future grant of options under the Plan is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of MMC. Neither the grant of the option

C.	Limitations. Payment of shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of MMC by reason of the option.

D.	During your lifetime, an option shall be exercisable only by you, and no right thereunder shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

J.	The Committee has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan. The Committee is comprised of at least two members of the MMC Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors").

Facsimile: (212) 345-4665

c.	Payment of Deferred Amounts

(i)

Payment Date. A Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account, with interest accrued through the date of payment, shall be paid on, or as soon as practicable after, the Vesting Date; provided, however, that no payment shall be made to a Participant who is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) to be a “key employee” under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder before the six month anniversary of his or her termination of employment.

(ii)

Form of Payment. A Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum, less applicable withholding taxes. Distribution of the Deferred Bonus Account will be made either in cash or in shares of the common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (the “Corporation”), at the election of the Company.

6.	ADMINISTRATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Program shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have authority in its sole discretion to interpret the Program and make all determinations with respect to the Program. All determinations made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Participants and beneficiaries. The Committee may delegate to any other individual or entity the authority to perform any or all of the functions of the Committee under the Program, and references to the Committee shall be deemed to include any such delegate. The Committee may, at its discretion and at any time, amend the Program in whole or in part. The Committee may also terminate the Program in its entirety at any time.

7.	MISCELLANEOUS

A Participant under the Program is a general (not secured) creditor, and nothing contained in the Program, the 2000 Senior Executive Plan or the 2000 Employee Plan shall create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and the Participant or the Participant’s estate or beneficiary. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Participant the right to continued employment with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or to a bonus award. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, benefits payable under the Program may not be assigned or hypothecated, and no such benefits shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claim of any person entitled to receive the same.

Participation in the Program is subject to these terms and conditions and to the terms and conditions of (A) the 2000 Senior Executive Plan with respect to those Participants hereunder who are subject thereto and (B) the 2000 Employee Plan with respect to all other Participants. Participation in the Program shall constitute an agreement by the Participant to all such terms and conditions and to the administrative regulations of the Committee. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the provisions of the 2000 Senior Executive Plan or the 2000 Employee Plan, as applicable, the provisions of the latter shall prevail. The Program, the 2000 Senior Executive Plan and the 2000

-4-

Employee Plan are not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and are not subject to the periodic reporting and funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Not more than eighty million (80,000,000) shares of the Corporation’s common stock (par value $1.00 per share), plus such number of shares authorized and reserved for awards pursuant to certain preexisting share resolutions adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, may be issued under the 2000 Employee Plan.

The Corporation’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MMC” and is subject to market price fluctuation. The shares of the Corporation’s common stock delivered in respect of the Deferred Bonus Account may be obtained through open market purchases, treasury stock or newly issued shares.

f.	There are no investment fees or administrative expenses charged against a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account.

8.	FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the United States Federal income tax consequences of participating in the Program. This discussion does not address all aspects of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a Participant in light of his or her personal investment or tax circumstances and does not discuss any state or local tax consequences Plan participation. This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code, and published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. A Participant should consult his or her own tax advisor concerning the application of the U.S. Federal income tax laws to his or her particular situation, as well as the applicability and effect of any state or local tax laws before taking any actions with respect participation in the Program.

Under present Federal income tax laws, no portion of the balance credited to a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account will be includable in income for Federal income or FICA tax purposes until it is vested and distributable. When the Deferred Bonus Account is actually paid to the Participant, such portion will be includable in income, and Federal, state and local income tax withholding and FICA tax withholding will apply, and such amount will generally be deductible by the Corporation. The Corporation may make necessary arrangements in order to effectuate any such withholding, including the mandatory

-5-

withholding of shares of common stock of the Corporation which would otherwise be distributed to a Participant.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account may be subject to additional restrictions to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (relating to nonqualified deferred compensation) and the regulations thereunder. The Committee intends to administer the Plan in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and reserves the right to make changes in the terms or operation of the Program and the Deferred Bonus Account (including changes that may have retroactive effect) deemed necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A of the Code. This means, for example, that the timing of distributions may be different from those described in this document or in other materials relating to the Program, the 2000 Senior Executive Plan and the 2000 Employee Plan that do not yet reflect Section 409A of the Code. If a Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account is not in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, he or she will be subject to immediate taxation of all vested but unpaid amounts under the Program that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, plus interest at the underpayment rate plus 1%, plus a 20% penalty.

9.	RESALE RESTRICTIONS

If a Participant is an “affiliate” of the Corporation at the time he or she receives a distribution under the Program in the form of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, his or her ability to resell those shares may be restricted. In order to resell such shares, such Participant will be required either to observe the resale limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’), or offer his or her shares for resale in compliance with another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

An “affiliate” is defined, for purposes of the Securities Act, as a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Corporation. A “person” is defined to include any relative or spouse of the person and any relative of the person’s spouse who has the same home as the person, any trust, estate, corporation or other organization in which the person or any of the foregoing persons has collectively more than 10% beneficial interest, and any trust or estate for which the person or any of the foregoing persons serves as trustee, executor or in any similar capacity. A person “controls, is controlled by or is under common control” with the Corporation when that person directly or indirectly possesses the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Corporation whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

2000 Employee Incentive and Stock Award Plan

Terms and Conditions of Marsh [Year] Special Retention Award

This [Year] Special Retention Award (the “Award”) has been granted to you under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2000 Employee Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “2000 Employee Plan”). The Award is subject to the following terms and conditions:

I.	PAYMENT OF AWARD

The Award shall be paid to you (net of tax withholding) in four quarterly installments on or around the following payment dates:

[Date]	[XX]% of the Award
[Date]	[XX]% of the Award
[Date]	[XX]% of the Award
[Date]	[XX]% of the Award

Except as otherwise provided in Section III, to be eligible to receive each installment you must (a) be actively employed by the Company (as defined below) and (b) not have submitted a notice of resignation as of the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the installment payment date. Payment of the Award will be in cash or shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“MMC”), as determined by MMC.

II.

VALUATION

If MMC elects to distribute Shares, the number of Shares to be distributed to you (net of tax withholding) will be determined by dividing the value of the Award in U.S. Dollars by the average of the high and low selling prices of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding each quarterly installment payment date. The spot exchange rate in effect on the trading day immediately preceding the quarterly installment payment date shall be used for purposes of converting into U.S. Dollars the value of an Award denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars.

III.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If your employment with Marsh or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively with

Marsh, the “Company”) terminates, your right to the Award shall be as follows:

A.	Termination Other Than for “Cause”

If your employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for “Cause” (as defined below) you will be eligible to receive the Award payment for the quarter in which your termination occurs, provided that you had not submitted a notice of resignation as of the last day of the prior calendar quarter. Payment will be made on or around the scheduled payment date; provided, however, if you are a “key employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder, no distribution shall be made to you before the six month anniversary of your termination of employment.

B.	Involuntary Termination for “Cause”

If your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) you will forfeit all future payments and be required to repay all previously received payments. For purposes of this Award, a termination for “Cause” is defined as misconduct, including any act or behavior that violates the Company’s policies or standards of conduct, or may subject the individual or the Company to civil or criminal liability.

IV.	CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

A.	Change in Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of MMC, as defined in the 2000 Employee Plan, any outstanding but unvested portion of the Award will vest on the date of the Change in Control and payment will be made to you as soon as practicable following the Change in Control in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

B.	Additional Payment

Should you receive Shares (or cash or other property) from the vesting of the Award which was accelerated because of a Change in Control, all or part of the value of those Shares (or the cash or other property) on the date of vesting (the “Accelerated Award”) may be subject to a 20% federal excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed when the value, as determined by applicable regulations, of payments in the nature of compensation contingent on a Change in Control (including all or a portion of the Accelerated Award) equals or exceeds three times the average of your last five years’ W-2 earnings.

If a Change in Control occurs and the vesting of your Award is accelerated, MMC will determine if the Excise Tax is payable by you. If Excise Tax is payable by you, MMC will pay to you, within five days of making the determination, an amount of money (the “Additional Payment”) such that after payment of applicable federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon the Additional Payment, you will retain an amount of the Additional Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed in respect of the Accelerated Award. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be less than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, a further payment will be made to you. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be more than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, you will be required to reimburse MMC for such excess.

V.	OTHER PROVISIONS

A. The Company is not liable for the non-issuance or non-transfer, nor for any delay in the issuance or transfer, of any Shares due to you in connection with the Award which results from the inability of the Company to obtain, from each regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer the Shares, if counsel for MMC deems such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such Shares.

B. The Award is subject to these terms and conditions and to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Employee Plan, and your acceptance hereof shall constitute your agreement to all such terms and conditions and to the administrative regulations of the Compensation Committee of the MMC Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the provisions of the 2000 Employee Plan, the provisions of the latter shall prevail. Your acceptance of this Award constitutes your agreement that the Shares subsequently acquired hereunder, if any, will not be sold or otherwise disposed of by you in violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations.

C. The Compensation Committee has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Awards and the 2000 Employee Plan. The Compensation Committee is comprised of at least two members of the Board of Directors.

D. The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2000 Employee Plan or the Compensation Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the 2000 Employee Plan, except that, without the consent of an affected participant, no such action may materially adversely affect the rights of such participant under any Award theretofore granted to him or her. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board may not terminate the 2000

Employee Plan or amend the 2000 Employee Plan with respect to Awards that have already been granted in any manner adverse to employees.

E. The Award is granted in accordance with such additional administrative regulations as the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, adopt. All decisions of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under these terms and conditions or the 2000 Employee Plan shall be conclusive and binding.

F. During your lifetime, no right hereunder related to this Award shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

G. The Award does not give you any right to continue to be employed by the Company, or restrict, in any way, the right of your employer to terminate your employment, at any time, for any reason not specifically prohibited by law. This Award is a special one-time award, which does not form part of your ongoing compensation and is not taken into account in determining any other compensation or benefits.

H. Awards relating to not more than eighty million (80,000,000) shares of MMC common stock (par value $1.00 per share), plus such number of shares authorized and reserved for awards pursuant to certain pre-existing share resolutions adopted by MMC’s Board of Directors, may be made over the life of the 2000 Employee Plan. Employees of the Company will be eligible for awards under the 2000 Employee Plan. MMC common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MMC” and is subject to market price fluctuation. The Shares delivered in respect of Awards may be obtained through open market purchases, treasury stock or newly issued shares.

VI.	FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the United States Federal income tax consequences of holding an Award. This discussion does not address all aspects of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your personal investment or tax circumstances and does not discuss any state or local tax consequences of an Award. This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code, and published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

2000 Employee Incentive and Stock Award Plan

Terms and Conditions of [Year] Special Mercer Retention Award

I.	PAYMENT OF AWARD

The Award shall be paid to you (net of tax withholding) on or around [Date]. Subject to Section III, your right to the Award will be forfeited if your employment terminates prior to [Date]. Payment of the Award will be in cash or shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“MMC”), as determined by MMC.

II.

VALUATION

If MMC elects to distribute shares, the number of Shares to be distributed to you (net of tax withholding) will be determined by dividing the value of the Award in U.S. Dollars by the average of the high and low selling prices of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding [Date] (or such earlier vesting date determined under Section III). The spot exchange rate in effect on the trading day immediately preceding [Date] (or such earlier vesting date determined under Section III) shall be used for purposes of converting into U.S. Dollars the value of an Award denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars.

III.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If your employment with Mercer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively with Mercer, the “Company”) terminates prior to [Date], your right to the Award shall be as follows:

Death

If your employment is terminated because of your death, the Award will vest

immediately and will be paid to your estate (less applicable withholding) in accordance with Section III.D below.

B.	Permanent Disability

If you terminate employment as a result of total and permanent disability, as determined by either (a) a Company sponsored long-term disability plan or (b) if you are not covered by a plan outlined in (a) above, your country’s social security program or equivalent, the Award will vest immediately and be paid to you (less applicable withholding) in accordance with Section III.D below.

C.	Involuntary Termination Other Than For “Cause”

If your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than for “Cause” the Award will vest immediately and be paid to you (less applicable withholding) in accordance with Section III.D below. For purposes of this Award, a termination for “Cause” is defined as misconduct, including any act or behavior that violates the Company’s policies or standards of conduct, or may subject the individual or the Company to civil or criminal liability.

D.	Payment Date for Vested Award

Your Award shall be paid on or around the end of the calendar quarter in which your Award vests and in accordance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder.

E.	All Other Employment Terminations

If your employment terminates for any other reason (including retirement) prior to [Date], your right to the Award will be forfeited.

IV.	CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

A.	Change in Control

B.	Additional Payment

If a Change in Control occurs and the vesting of your Award is accelerated, MMC will determine if the Excise Tax is payable by you. If the Excise Tax is payable by you, MMC will pay to you, within five days of making the determination, an amount of money (the “Additional Payment”) such that after payment of applicable federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon the Additional Payment, you will retain an amount of the Additional Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed in respect of the Accelerated Award. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be less than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, a further payment will be made to you. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be more than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, you will be required to reimburse MMC for such excess.

V.	OTHER PROVISIONS

The Company is not liable for the non-issuance or non-transfer, nor for any delay in the issuance or transfer, of any Shares due to you in connection with the Award which results from the inability of the Company to obtain, from each regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer the Shares, if counsel for MMC deems such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such Shares.

The Award is subject to these terms and conditions and to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Employee Plan, and your acceptance hereof shall constitute your agreement to all such terms and conditions and to the administrative regulations of the Compensation Committee of the MMC Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the provisions of the 2000 Employee Plan, the provisions of the latter shall prevail. Your acceptance of this Award constitutes your agreement that the Shares

subsequently acquired hereunder, if any, will not be sold or otherwise disposed of by you in violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations.

C.	The Compensation Committee has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Awards and the 2000 Employee Plan. The Compensation Committee is comprised of at least two members of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2000 Employee Plan or the Compensation Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the 2000 Employee Plan, except that, without the consent of an affected participant, no such action may materially adversely affect the rights of such participant under any Award theretofore granted to him or her. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board may not terminate the 2000 Employee Plan or amend the 2000 Employee Plan with respect to Awards that have already been granted in any manner adverse to employees.

The Award is granted in accordance with such additional administrative regulations as the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, adopt. All decisions of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under these terms and conditions or the 2000 Employee Plan shall be conclusive and binding.

F.	During your lifetime, no right hereunder related to this Award shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The Award does not give you any right to continue to be employed by the Company, or restrict, in any way, the right of your employer to terminate your employment, at any time, for any reason not specifically prohibited by law. This Award is a special one-time award, which does not form part of your ongoing compensation and is not taken into account in determining any other compensation or benefits.

Awards relating to not more than eighty million (80,000,000) shares of MMC common stock (par value $1.00 per share), plus such number of shares authorized and reserved for awards pursuant to certain pre-existing share resolutions adopted by MMC’s Board of Directors, may be made over the life of the 2000 Employee Plan. Employees of the Company will be eligible for awards under the 2000 Employee Plan. MMC common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MMC” and is subject to market price fluctuation. The Shares delivered in respect of Awards may be obtained through open market purchases, treasury stock or newly issued shares.

This means, for example, that the timing of distributions may be different from those described in this document or in other materials relating to the Award or the 2000 Employee Plan that do not yet reflect Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
