 The Special Separation Program described here currently is scheduled to be in effect for
Separations From Service that occur from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011. Merck retains
the right (to the extent permitted by law) to amend or terminate the Special Separation Program and
any benefit or plan described in this brochure (or otherwise) at any time. However, following a
change in control of Merck (as defined in the Change in Control Separation Benefits Plan), certain
limitations apply to Mercks ability to amend or terminate this and other benefit plans. In
addition, an employee whose employment is terminated without cause within two years following a
change in control will also be entitled to receive the retirement bridge as provided in the Change
in Control Separation Benefits Plan.
 While it has no current intention to do so, Merck also may extend, decrease or enhance, the Special
Separation Program in the future. If you sign and return the Separation Letter by the Separation
Letter Return Date, any later amendment or termination will not decrease or increase the amount of
Separation Pay you are eligible to receive under the Special Separation Program.

Notwithstanding anything in the Special Separation Program to the contrary, benefits under the
Program that are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will be
adjusted to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A. Merck will take any and all steps it
determines are necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust benefits under the Special
Separation Program to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A, including but not limited to,
reducing or eliminating benefits, changing the time or form of payment of benefits, etc.
 Payments generally may not be made on account of separation from service are limited during the six
months following the termination of employment of a Specified Employee as defined in Treas. Reg.
Sec. 1.409A- 1(i) or any successor thereto, which in general includes the top 50 employees of a
company ranked by compensation. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Special Separation
Program to the contrary, if a Covered Employee is a Specified Employee on his or her Separation
Date, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, no
payments will be made during the six-month period following termination of employment. Instead,
amounts that would otherwise have been paid during that six-month period will be accumulated and
paid, without interest, as soon as administratively feasible following the end of such six-month
period after termination of employment.
