I.    BACKGROUND
An award (“Award”) has been granted to you under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), subject to your acceptance as described in Section II.A.1.  The Award is a one-time award in recognition of any award that you may have been eligible to be granted under the JLT 2019 Senior Executive Share Scheme that you otherwise may have received.  Following the grant of this Award, you will not receive additional awards in recognition of the Senior Executive Share Scheme awards. The Award type, the number of shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award will be provided to you by Global & Executive Compensation and/or the stock plan service provider of the Company (as defined in Section V.D.).  The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and to additional terms and conditions as set forth in the country-specific notices (the “Country-Specific Notices”).  The Prospectus dated [DATE], also describes important information about the Plan.  The Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”.  As used herein, “Common Stock” means common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.
II.    AWARDS
A.    General.
		
	1.
	Award Acceptance.  The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified by Global & Executive Compensation and/or the Company’s stock plan service provider, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.3.  If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the deadline date and in the manner specified, then the Award will be cancelled as of the grant date of the Award.


		
	2.
	Rights of Award Holders.  Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and cash or shares of Common Stock, as applicable, have been delivered to you in accordance with the Award Documentation, you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of Marsh & McLennan Companies.  Unless and until shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you have none of the rights of ownership to such shares (e.g., units cannot be used as payment for stock option exercises; units may not be transferred or assigned; units have no voting rights).


		
	3.
	Restrictive Covenants Agreement.  As described in Section II.A.1., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award, you must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III., and you must further execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, and 




1




be in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to become distributable to you whether or not you are employed by the Company at that time.  Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified by the Company or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section III.H.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.
B.    Stock Units.
		
	1.
	General.  A restricted stock unit (“Stock Unit”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, one share of Common Stock after vesting.


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


		
	3.
	Dividend Equivalents.  For each outstanding Stock Unit covered by the Award, an amount equal to the dividend payment (if any) made in respect of one share of Common Stock (a “Dividend Equivalent”) will accrue in U.S. dollars on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding, with no interest paid on such amounts.  Accrued Dividend Equivalents will vest when the Stock Units in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were accrued vest.  No further Dividend Equivalents will accrue on Stock Units that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited.  If a pro-rata amount of the outstanding unvested Stock Unit award  is eligible to vest upon a termination of employment event as described in Section III.C.1, and III.D, the pro-rata calculation (as described in Section III.I) will be applied to the Dividend Equivalents that have accrued on the Award as of the date of termination.  Accrued Dividend Equivalents will not be paid, and no further Dividend Equivalents will accrue, on Stock Units that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited as per a termination of employment event described in Section III.F. 


		
	4.
	Delivery.


		
	a.
	Shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of the Stock Units covered by the Award shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the Scheduled Vesting Date, and in no event later than 60 days 




2




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


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


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


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


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


		
	2.
	U.S. Employees.  Applicable employment taxes are required by law to be withheld when a Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent vests.  Applicable income taxes are required by law to be withheld when shares of Common Stock in respect of Stock Units or cash in respect of Dividend Equivalents are delivered to you.  A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation.


		
	3.
	Non-U.S. Employees.


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




3




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

	G.
	Date of Termination of Employment.  


		
	1. 
	If Section III.G.2 does not apply to you, then for purposes of determining vesting under Section II.B.2. and the number of unvested Stock Units that vest on a pro-rata basis as described in Section III.I., your employment will be treated as having terminated on your last day of employment with the Company.


		
	2.
	If you are obligated (whether by law or contract) to provide the Company advance notice of your intention to terminate your employment or service relationship then, in the event you terminate your employment pursuant to Section III.C., III.D. or III.F. (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), for purposes of determining vesting under Section II.B.2. and the pro rata calculation described in Section III.I., your employment will be treated as having terminated on your last day of active service with the Company, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  


You shall be deemed to have ceased active service with the Company when you are no longer required by the Company to provide regular services to the 


6




Company even if you remain legally employed by the Company, such as may occur if the Company were to place you on “garden leave”, a terminal leave of absence or any similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any (in each case as determined by the Company in its sole discretion).

	I.
	Determination of Pro-Rata Calculation upon Termination of Employment.  


The pro-rata portion of the unvested Stock Units and accrued Dividend Equivalents that are outstanding as of a termination of employment that will become distributable under certain circumstances described in Section III. will be determined using the following formula:

where
		
	A
	=     the number of Stock Units/accrued Dividend Equivalents covered by the Award;


		
	B
	=    the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the date of your termination of employment, as determined in accordance with Section III.G;


		
	C
	=    the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the last Scheduled Vesting Date; and


		
	D
	=    the number of Stock Units/accrued Dividend Equivalents that have previously vested, as determined in accordance with Section III.G.


		
	J.
	Section 409A of the Code for Award Recipients Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.).


		
	1.
	For Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax, notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Award may be subject to additional restrictions to ensure compliance with (or continued exemption from) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section V.J.).  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Marsh & McLennan Companies (the “Committee”) intends to administer the Award in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and reserves the right to make changes in the terms or operations of the Award (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 the Award Documentation that do not reflect Section 409A of the Code.  If the Award is not in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, you may be subject to immediate taxation of all unpaid awards under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code at your regular federal income tax rate, plus a 20% additional tax, plus interest at the underpayment rate plus 1%, as well as any state and local taxes, penalties, additional taxes and interest, if applicable, imposed under any state tax law similar to Section 409A of the Code. 




8




		
	2.
	Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any portion of the Award is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any references to “termination of employment,” or “when you are no longer employed” in these Terms and Conditions shall have the following meaning:


Your “termination of employment” (or similar terms) shall occur when you have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as further defined herein.  Specifically, you will have incurred a “separation from service” when the level of services you provide to the Company in any capacity, including as an employee, director, independent contractor or consultant, does not exceed 20% of the average level of services that you provided to the Company in the preceding 36 months (or shorter period of service if, for example, your total service with the Company is less than 36 months), all as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.  In determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred, any period of up to six months during which you are on a bona fide leave of absence or up to 29 months during which you are absent from work due to a disability for which you are receiving Marsh & McLennan Companies long-term disability benefits will be ignored.
		
	3.
	Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if at the time of your termination of employment you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), no portion of the Award that is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code can be distributed prior to  the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment and any such distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following your termination of employment will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment.  The provisions of this subparagraph will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid any “additional tax” under Section 409A of the Code.  


		
	4.
	Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if (a) the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code (or could, absent this provision, be subject to Section 409A of the Code, including a distribution that would otherwise be made pursuant to Section III. J.5) and the Award Documentation conditions payment or commencement of payment on one or more Employment-Related Actions and (b) the period for the completion of an Employment-Related Action includes the January 1 next following the event otherwise triggering the right to payment, then the payment shall be made or commence following the completion of the Employment-Related Action, but in no event earlier than that January 1.




9




		
	5.
	Notwithstanding any provision herein other than Section III.J.4, for distributions of Stock Units or cash attributable to such Stock Units that are subject to one or more Employment-Related Actions (as defined in Section V.E.) where you have not satisfied, and would not satisfy, the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting prior to January 1, [YEAR]:  


		
	a.
	With respect to Stock Units, no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the substantial risk of forfeiture (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (the “Substantial Risk of Forfeiture”) lapses with respect to such Stock Units, shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Units shall be delivered to you (to the extent not previously delivered), subject to a stop transfer order and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such delivery.  Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies will remove or cause to be removed such stop transfer order; and 


		
	b.
	With respect to a cash payment attributable to Stock Units, to the extent that such payment will not be made by March 15th of the year following the year in which the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses with respect to such payment, such payment shall be placed in escrow or contributed to a secular trust (in the sole discretion of Marsh & McLennan Companies) for your benefit on or before such March 15th and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such placement or contribution.  Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies shall cause such amounts to be released from escrow or paid to you out of such trust.


In either case, if any Employment-Related Action is not timely satisfied, the shares of Common Stock or the cash payment shall revert to Marsh & McLennan Companies with no further compensation due to you.  
		
	6.
	Notwithstanding any provision herein, with respect to distributions of Stock Units or cash attributable to such Stock Units (i) where you have satisfied or would satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting prior to January 1, [YEAR] and (ii) where such distributions are subject to one or more Employment-Related Actions:    


		
	a.
	With respect to Stock Units, no later than December 31st of the year in which the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs (or December 31st of the year in which your termination of employment occurs, if sooner), shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Units shall be delivered to you (to the extent not previously delivered) on or before such December 31st, subject to a stop transfer order and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such delivery.  Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies will remove or cause to be removed such stop transfer order; and 




10




		
	b.
	With respect to a cash payment attributable to Stock Units, to the extent any such payment will not be made by December 31st of the year in which the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs (or December 31st of the year in which your termination of employment occurs, if sooner), any payment that relates to such payment event shall be placed in escrow or contributed to a secular trust (in the sole discretion of Marsh & McLennan Companies) for your benefit on or before such December 31st and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such placement or contribution.  Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies shall cause such amounts to be released from escrow or paid to you out of such trust.


In either case, if any Employment-Related Action is not timely satisfied, the shares of Common Stock or the cash payment shall revert to Marsh & McLennan Companies with no further compensation due to you. 
		
	7. 
	Nothing in this Section III.J. is intended to nor does it guarantee that the Award will not be subject to “additional tax” or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code or any similar state tax law.
