W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of July 15, 2011 (the “Base Indenture” and as supplemented hereby, the
“Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Issuer from time to time of senior debt securities evidencing its unsecured indebtedness, to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Indenture; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Issuer has authorized the issuance of a series of securities evidencing its senior
indebtedness, consisting initially of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.80% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Original Notes” and, together with all the Additional Notes (as defined herein), if any, hereinafter referred to, the
“Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the entry into this First Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects

 WHEREAS, all acts and requirements necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding indenture and agreement according to its terms have been done. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and
proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Notes as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 

Section 1.01. Terms of Notes. The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established: 

(a) The Notes shall constitute a series of securities having the title “4.80% Senior Notes due 2021”. 

(b) The aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes
authenticated 







 
and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 or 9.04 of the Base Indenture) shall be up to $500,000,000.

 (c) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on July 15, 2021 plus any unpaid interest accrued to
such date. 
 (d) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.80% per annum; the date from which interest shall
accrue on the Notes shall be July 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes on which interest will be payable shall be January 15 and July 15 in
each year, beginning January 15, 2012; the regular record dates for the interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be the January 1 and July 1 preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; and the basis upon
which interest on the Notes shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 (e) (i)
The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date: 
 (A) If the
redemption date is prior to April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of
the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. 
 (B) If the redemption date is on
or after April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 
 (ii) (A) In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes in accordance with Section 1.01(e)(i) above, the Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to
such holders at their last 

  
 2 








 
addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Note. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and
the Redemption Price at which the Notes to be redeemed are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and
State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest
shall continue to accrue on any Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to
be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case the Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and
after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 (B) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes
to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars
($1,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such series of Notes of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Notes to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of
the Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part. 
 The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery
of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such
notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to, 

  
 3 








 
or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to
enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice that may be required under the provisions of this Section. 
 Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. 
 If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the
applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest.

debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price”
means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee is
provided with fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Issuer.

Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its successors, (ii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its successors, (iii) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and its successors and (iv) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and its successors, or
one or more Reference Treasury Dealers as the Issuer may specify from time to time; provided, however, that if any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer for The City of New York (each a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 

The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 

With respect to Section 1.01(e)(i)(A) above, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the calculations of the
Independent Investment Banker. 
 (f) The Notes shall be issuable in denominations equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000)
or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (g) The Trustee shall also be the security registrar and paying agent for
the Notes. 
 (h) Payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be made in U.S. dollars, and the Notes shall be
denominated in U.S. dollars. 
 (i) The holders of the Notes shall have no special rights in addition to those provided in the
Indenture upon the occurrence of any particular events. 
 (j) The Notes shall not be subordinated to any other debt of the
Issuer, and shall constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
 (k) The Notes shall be issued as a Global Security
and The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York shall be the initial Depository. The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Issuer.

series for all purposes under this First Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, amendments, waivers and redemptions.

4.80% Senior Notes due 2021 
 MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION dollars ($500,000,000) (which aggregate principal amount may from time to time be increased or decreased to such other
aggregate principal amounts by adjustments made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto) on July 15, 2021 and to pay interest on said principal sum from July 15, 2011 or from the most recent interest
payment date (each such date, an 

  
 A-10









 
“Interest Payment Date”) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing January 15, 2012 at
the rate of 4.80% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which
interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). The
interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (hereafter defined), be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as
defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment which shall be the January 1 or July 1 preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not
punctually paid or duly provided for (as defined in the Indenture, the “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this
Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment or at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee
maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Issuer by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the registered holder of this Note is Cede & Co., the payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by DTC. 

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and unsecured and will rank in right of
payment on parity with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
 This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

 MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC. 

4.80% Senior Notes due 2021 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (referred to in the Base Indenture (hereafter defined)), of the Issuer (herein sometimes referred to as the “Notes”), all such
Securities issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of July 15, 2011 between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the
“Trustee”), as supplemented in the case of the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 15, 2011 between the Issuer and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the holders of the Notes. This
series of Notes is initially limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in said First Supplemental Indenture. This series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series shall constitute one series for all purposes under the Indenture,
including without limitation, amendments, waivers and redemptions. The terms and conditions of this series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series (other than the issue price, the date of issuance, the payment of interest accruing prior to
the issue date of the Additional Notes and the first payment of interest following such issue date) shall be the same and shall bear the same CUSIP number. 
 The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall
be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date: 
 (a) If the redemption date is prior to April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at then current Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. 
 (b) If the redemption date is on or after April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 

In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes, the Issuer shall, or
shall cause the Trustee to, 

  
 A-17









 
give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before
the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any Note. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price
at which the Notes are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon
presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to accrue
on any such Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed in whole
or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and
after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to
be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000)
or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such Notes of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Notes to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of the Notes to be
redeemed, in whole or in part. 
 The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its
behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Note, such notice to be in the name of the
Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered


  
 A-18









 
to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient
to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions stated herein. 

Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. 

If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed
specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the
Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. 
 The Indenture contains provisions
permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all of the series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a
single class), as defined in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Note then Outstanding and affected thereby (i) extend the fixed maturity of
any Securities, including the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at
the time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Base Indenture, or established pursuant to the Base Indenture with
respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, including the Notes, in which case, each such affected series voting as a separate class. Any such
consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Base Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange
herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture or with respect to reports or other certificates filed under the Indenture;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the Issuer’s timely delivery of all reports and certificates required under Section 5.03 of the Base Indenture and to fulfill its
obligations under Article VII of the Indenture. If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the

 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder of this Note
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of Section 6.01 of the Base

class) shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for
60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding (voting as provided in Section 6.01
(b) of the Base Indenture) a direction inconsistent with such request. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.

of New York accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer or the Trustee duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any
such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Issuer or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

 The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in authorized denominations. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES INCLUDING THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
