 3.        Dividend

following such date, the Dividend Equivalents related to such unit shall be paid to the Participant in cash, without earnings thereon. 

4.        Dividend Equivalents. THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RESIDENTS

administratively practicable following each Payment Date. 
 5.        Restriction Period;
Termination and Retirement. The Restriction Period with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice. In order to earn and vest in the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant must at the time of vesting remain
employed as an active, regular, full-time employee of the Company. Subject to the terms of the Plan and Sections 5(a) and 5(b) below, all Restricted Stock Units for which the Restriction Period had not lapsed prior to the date of the
Participant’s termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited. 

(a)        Termination of Employment due to Disability. Notwithstanding
Section 5 above, upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Disability, the Restriction Period shall immediately lapse as to the full number of Restricted Stock Units and the vested Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units
and any Dividend Equivalents shall be issued or delivered to the Participant on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. 

(b)        Death. Notwithstanding Section 5 above, upon the
Participant’s death, the Restriction Period shall immediately lapse as to the full number of Restricted Stock Units and the vested Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalents shall be issued or delivered to the
Participant in accordance with Section 6. 
 (c)        Retirement.
Notwithstanding Section 5 above, the Restriction Period shall immediately lapse on the date that the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon a Participant’s Retirement,
the vested Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalents shall continue to be issued or delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 6. 

6.        Payment of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as administratively practicable
following each Vesting Date applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, or at such earlier time as provided for in Section 5, or as the Company may otherwise determine, but in no event later than 75 days following such date, all restrictions
applicable to the Restricted Stock Units vesting on that Vesting Date shall lapse and the vested Shares, free of all restrictions, shall be issued or delivered to the Participant or his or her beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan. 

  
 5 








 7.          Recapitalization. In the
event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, separation, reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company,
the Committee shall make such equitable adjustments, designed to protect against dilution, as it may deem appropriate in the number and kind of shares covered hereby. 

8.          Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Company shall not be obligated
to issue any Shares pursuant to this Agreement unless the Shares are at that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as applicable, local laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company is under no obligation to register any Shares to be issued under this Agreement pursuant to federal or state securities laws. 

9.          Administration. By accepting any benefit under this Agreement, the
Participant and any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and any
action taken under the Plan by the Committee or the Company, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between
the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions of the Plan, which are
incorporated herein by reference, and to such rules, policies and regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under
the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant and on his or her legal representatives and beneficiaries. 

10.        Tax Witholding. Upon the lapse of the applicable portion of the Restriction Period,
or such earlier date on which the value of any Restricted Stock Units otherwise becomes includible in the Participant’s gross income for income tax purposes or on which taxes are otherwise payable, any taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall be satisfied by the Company withholding Shares or cash otherwise deliverable or payable to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount of any
Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy required Federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including
payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income, subject to any limitations as the Committee may prescribe and subject to applicable law, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the payment date. The Company may, in the
discretion of the Committee, provide for alternative arrangements to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan. 

Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all tax withholding (including social insurance contribution
obligations, if any), the Participant 

  
 6 








 
acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all such taxes is and remains the Participant’s responsibility (or that of the Participant’s beneficiary), and that the Company does not:
(a) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant or vesting thereof, the subsequent sale of Shares and the receipt of
any dividends; or (b) commit to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Units or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s (or his or her beneficiary’s) liability for such tax. 

11.        Non-Transferability. Until the Restricted Period has lapsed, the Restricted Stock
Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, permit the Restricted
Stock Units to be transferred subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may impose. 

12.        No Right to Continued Employment. The Company is not obligated by or as a result of
the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Participant’s employment, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time. 

13.        No Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not have a beneficial ownership
interest in, or any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to, the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units until such
Restricted Stock Units vest and are issued and transferred to the Participant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the shares of Common Stock subject to
the Restricted Stock Units award, or to the Dividend Equivalents (or in the case of residents of Canada, any additional shares of Common Stock received in accordance with Section 4) related to such units, until the units have vested. 

14.        Consent to Transfer Personal Data. By accepting this award, the Participant
voluntarily acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this Section. The Participant is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data.
However, failure to provide the consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Company holds certain personal information about the Participant, that may include his or her name, home address and telephone number,
date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary grade, hire data, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock held in the Company, or details of all awards of Restricted Stock Units, stock options, or
any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, or unvested, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Company will transfer Data amongst itself as necessary for the purpose
of implementation, administration and management of Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.
These recipients may be located throughout the world, including the United States. The 

  
 7 








 
Participant authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s
participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan to, and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on the Participant’s behalf by, a broker or other third party
with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the
Company; provided, however, that withdrawing consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. 

15.        Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its
principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Participant at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 

16.        Other Plans. The Participant acknowledges that any income derived from the lapse of
the Restriction Period applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall not affect the Participant’s participation in, or benefits under, any other benefit plan or other contract or arrangement maintained by the Company. 

17.        Counterpart Execution. This Agreement has been executed in two counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and both of which constitute one and the same document. 

18.        Section 409A. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units are intended to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any benefits accrued hereunder in a taxable year prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or
made available to the Participant. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent and the Company’s Policy Regarding Section 409A Compliance. If the Company
determines that it has failed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Company may, in its sole discretion, and without the Participant’s consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with or be exempt from
Section 409A. 
 19.        Beneficiary. The Restricted Stock Units shall be distributed
to the Participant during the lifetime of the Participant. The Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any undistributed Restricted Stock Units under the circumstances described in, and in accordance with, Section 6.12 of the Plan.

 20.        Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

 21.        Restrictive Covenant; Clawback.
THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OR AUSTRALIA. 

(a)(i)    If, at any time within (A) two years after the termination of employment; or (B) two
years after the vesting of any portion of this award of Restricted Stock Units, whichever is the latest, the Participant, in the determination of the management of the Company, engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company,
or inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, including, but not limited to: 
 (1)
conduct related to his or her employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against him or her may be sought; 

(2) violation of Company policies, including, without limitation, the Company’s Insider Trading Policy
and Global Standards of Business Conduct; 
 (3) directly or indirectly, soliciting, placing, accepting,
aiding, counseling or providing consulting for any Insurance Services for any existing Company Account or any actively solicited Prospective Account of the Company for which he or she performed any of the foregoing functions during the two-year
period immediately preceding such termination; or providing Benefit Services the Company is involved with, for any existing Company Account or any Prospective Account of the Company for which Participant performed any of the foregoing functions
during the two-year period immediately preceding such termination; provided, that this subsection does not apply to any Participant employed by Company in, or primarily performing work for the Company in, California or Oklahoma; 

(4)     for a Participant employed by the Company in, or primarily performing work
for Company in, OKLAHOMA: directly or indirectly, soliciting, for the purpose of providing Insurance Services or Benefit Services for any existing Company Account or any Prospective Account of the Company for which Participant performed any
of the foregoing functions during the two-year period immediately preceding such termination; 

(5)     for a Participant employed by the Company in, or primarily performing work
for Company in, CALIFORNIA: revealing, making judgments upon, or otherwise using, disclosing or divulging any Confidential Information or trade secrets of the Company or otherwise violating any provision of this Agreement; 

(6) recruiting, luring, enticing, employing or offering to employ any current or former employee of the
Company or engaging in any conduct designed to sever the employment relationship between the Company and any of its employees; 

(7) disclosing or misusing any trade secret, Confidential Information or


  
 9 








 other non-public confidential or proprietary material concerning
the Company; or 
 (8) participating in a hostile takeover attempt of the Company; 

then this award of Restricted Stock Units and all other awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units held by the
Participant shall terminate effective the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan, and any gain realized by the Participant from the
vesting of all or a portion of this or any award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. Such gain shall be calculated based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as
quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of vesting (or the next trading day if such vesting date is a holiday), multiplied by the number of shares vesting on such date, plus interest measured from the first date the Participant engaged in
any of the prohibited activities set forth above at the highest rate allowable under Delaware law. 
 (ii) This award of
Restricted Stock Units and all other awards of restricted stock units or restricted stock held by the Participant shall also be subject to recovery by the Company under its compensation recovery policy, as amended from to time. 

(iii) The Participant acknowledges that Participant’s engaging in activities and behavior in violation of
Section 21(a)(i) above will result in a loss to the Company which cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law, that a breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company and
that therefore, in addition to and cumulative with any other remedy which the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief for a breach of this Agreement by the Participant. The Participant acknowledges
and agrees that the requirement in Section 21(a)(i) above that Participant disgorge and pay over to the Company any option gain realized by the Participant is not a provision for liquidated damages. The Participant agrees to pay any and all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing any breach of any covenant in this Agreement. 

(b)     By accepting this award, the Participant consents to deductions from any amounts
the Company owes the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company) to the extent of the amounts the
Participant owes the Company under Section 21(a) above. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount owed, calculated as set forth above, the
Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company. 
 22.      Forfeiture.
THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
 (a)   If at any time
during the Participant’s employment with the Company (or any 

  
 10

Unit award shall lapse effective the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan and/or any shares of common stock held by the Participant
as a result of this or any other award of Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company for no payment to the Participant and/or (only with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) any gain realized by the Participant from
selling any shares of common stock arising from this or any other award of Restricted Stock Units shall be paid by the Participant to the Company subject to a maximum repayment of £100,000. Only with respect to clauses (ii) and
(iii) above, it is agreed by the Participant and the Company that the gain up to £100,000 realized by the Participant is a genuine pre estimate of the minimum level of loss likely to be incurred by the Company or any other Group Company

(b)       For the purposes of Section 22(c), the term Termination Date
shall mean the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Group Company howsoever caused. 

(c)       If at any time prior to the expiry of 12 months following the

agreement relating to restrictive covenants (as set out in the Participant’s terms and conditions of employment); 

(ii)       discloses or misuses any Confidential Information or other non-public
confidential or proprietary material concerning the Company or any Group Company; or 

(iii)      participates in a hostile takeover attempt (whether or not successful) of the
Company; 
 then any unvested portion of this Restricted Stock Unit award shall lapse effective the date on which the
Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan and and/or any shares of common stock held by the Participant as a result of this or any other award of
Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company for no payment to the Participant and/or any gain realized by the Participant from selling any shares of common stock arising from this or any other award of Restricted Stock Units shall be
paid by the Participant to the Company subject to a maximum repayment of £100,000. It is agreed by the Participant and the Company that the gain up to £100,000 realized by the Participant is a genuine pre estimate of the minimum level of
loss likely to be incurred by the Company or any other Group Company as a result of the Participant breaching any of the terms of Section 22(c)(i) to 22(c)(iii). It is agreed that such payment by the Participant to the Company shall not limit
or restrict the Company or any Group Company from seeking any other remedy (including, without limitation, damages for breach of contract and injunctive relief) as a result of the Participant breaching any of the terms of Section 22(c)(i) to
22(c)(iii). 
 (d)      This award of restricted stock units and all other
awards of restricted stock units and restricted stock held by the Participant may also be subject to recovery by the Company under its compensation recovery policy, as amended from to time. 

(e)      By accepting this grant, the Participant consents to deductions from
any amounts the Company or any Group Company owes to the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or holiday pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any
Group Company) to the extent of the amounts the Participant owes the Company or any Group Company under this Section 22. Whether or not the Company or any Group Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Group
Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount owed, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company or any Group Company. 

(f)      Each of the restrictions set out in Sections 22(a)(i) to 22(a)(iii)
and 22(c)(i) to 22(c)(iii) (inclusive) is separate and severable. If any of the restrictions is 

  
 12 








 
determined by a court of law to be unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted, the remaining provisions of that section shall apply in their entirety. 

23.        Liability to tax. THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE
RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
 The Participant hereby agrees to: 

 

	 	 —
	 	 indemnify the Company or any Subsidiary which is obliged to account for income tax and/or primary social security contributions (otherwise known as
