Willis Group with or into another company, the exchange or all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company or the Willis Group for the securities of another company, the acquisition by
another Person or Group of 80% or more of the Company or the Willis Group then outstanding voting
shares or the recapitalisation, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the
Willis Group (“Event”), and if the Board so provides, it shall on such terms and conditions as it
deems appropriate in its absolute discretion, determine that the Vesting Date for all RSUs awarded
under the Plan shall be such date prior to the occurrence of such Event as it may decide and that
upon the occurrence of such Event such RSU shall terminate and be of no further force or effect;
provided, however, that the Board may also provide, in its absolute discretion, that even if the

Shares in the Company which was subject to the RSUs prior to the occurrence of such Event.

	 	3.4.1	 	decide before the Award Date that a Participant (or his or her nominee) shall
be entitled to receive a benefit determined by reference to the value of all or any of
the dividends (excluding the dividend tax credit unless the Board decides otherwise)
that would be paid on the RSU Shares in respect of dividend record dates occurring
during the period between the Award Date and the Vesting Date and may further decide
that such benefit shall be provided in cash and/or Shares (the “Dividend Equivalent”).
The Board shall decide whether the Dividend Equivalent shall be provided to the
Participant during the period between the Award Date and the Vesting Date as soon as
practicable following the declaration of any dividend or in full as soon as practicable
after the Vesting Date. The Board may decide to exclude the value of all or part of
any special dividend from the amount of the Dividend Equivalent; or
	 
	 	3.4.2	 	grant an RSU Award on terms whereby the number of Shares comprised in an RSU
shall increase by deeming dividends (excluding special dividends, unless the Board
decides otherwise) paid on the Shares from the Award Date to the Vesting Date to have
been reinvested in additional Shares on such terms as the Board shall decide.

	4.	 	RSU AWARD

	4.1	 	The Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that an RSU Award will be granted
to any Employee who will be awarded a Bonus in excess of £5,000 (or currency equivalent) or
such other amount as the Board may in its absolute discretion decide from time to time (the
“Threshold Amount”), upon the terms set out in this Plan and upon such other terms as the
Board may specify at the time of award.
	 
	4.2	 	Where the Board determines that an RSU Award will be granted to a particular
Employee:

	 	4.2.1	 	the Board shall, in its absolute discretion, specify a percentage of the
Employee’s Bonus in excess of the Threshold Amount to be paid in the form of an RSU
Award rather than in cash; and
	 
	 	4.2.2	 	the Employee will be notified in writing of the percentage of his or her
Bonus in respect of which he will receive an RSU Award prior to the Award Date.

	4.3	 	Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of the Award, the number of
Shares subject to an RSU Award shall equal the number of Shares which could have been acquired
with the amount of the Bonus (before tax and other required withholdings which may be

- 5 -

 

	 	 	applicable) in respect of which the RSU Award is made at the price per Share equal to the
closing price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the Award Date.

	4.4	 	Where the Board determines, the grant of an RSU Award to a Participant resident in
the UK will be conditional upon the execution of a joint election with his or her employing
company to accept the liability for employer’s National Insurance Contributions arising on the
Vesting Date or release of the RSU Award. In the case of Participants resident in any other
country (excluding the USA), such Participant agrees that if his or her employing company
incurs any social security or payroll costs or taxes on the Vesting Date or release of the RSU
Award the Participant shall, if requested, reimburse the employing company in respect thereof.

	5.	 	BONUS INVESTMENT SHARES

	5.1	 	The Board may in its absolute discretion invite an Employee who receives a Bonus to
acquire Shares (“Bonus Investment Shares”) in the Company with a percentage or a part of the
proceeds of his or her Bonus (after tax and other required withholdings have been deducted)
being such part and percentage as the Board may determine, on the terms set out in this Plan
and such other terms as the Board may specify prior to the time of acquisition.
	 
	5.2	 	Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the price of the Bonus Investment Shares
which the Employee may acquire under Rule 5.1 above shall be the price per Share equal to the
closing price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the Award Date, except that
where the nominal value of such Share exceeds the closing price, the Board may required that
the Employee pay such nominal value.
	 
	5.3	 	A Participant who acquires Bonus Investment Shares in accordance with Rule 5.1 will
be the legal and beneficial owner of those Shares and will not forfeit those Shares in any
circumstances.
	 
	5.4	 	A Participant will not be permitted to sell his or her Bonus Investment Shares until
the third anniversary of the date of their acquisition or such other date as the Board may
determine prior to their acquisition (the “Acquisition Date”) except for:-

	 	5.4.1	 	transfers to the Participant’s estate upon his or her death;
	 
	 	5.4.2	 	transfers to the Participant’s immediate family members, a trust or other
entity the primary beneficiary or holder of which is for or by Participant’s immediate
family members; and
	 
	 	5.4.3	 	other transfers permitted by the Company (e.g. financial hardship).

	5.5	 	The transfer restrictions in Rule 5.4 above expire upon the Participant’s termination
of employment with the Willis Group for any reason.

- 6 -

 

	6.	 	MATCHING RSU AWARD

	6.1	 	The Board shall grant an RSU Award (“Matching RSU Award”) to each Participant in respect
of an RSU Award granted under Rule 4.1 above and an acquisition of Bonus Investment Shares
under Rule 5.1 above, on the terms set out in the Plan and such other terms as the Board may
specify at the time of the award.
	 
	6.2	 	The number of Shares subject to a Matching RSU Award shall be equal to 25% of the
number of Shares subject to the RSU Award granted or the number of Bonus Investment Shares
acquired and in respect of which the Matching RSU Award is awarded, or such other percentage
as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine prior to the Award Date of the Matching
RSU Award.

	7.	 	DELIVERY OF SHARES

	7.1	 	The delivery of RSU Shares subject to an Allocation shall be effected in such form and
manner as the Board from time to time prescribe and may be subject to such vesting conditions
as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine at the time of award.
	 
	7.2	 	Subject to Rules 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.7 and Rule 8, RSU Shares subject to an Allocation
may not be delivered prior to the Vesting Date.
	 
	7.3	 	If any Participant dies before the Vesting Date and at a time when he is an Employee
(or entitled to receive RSU Shares subject to Allocations by virtue of Rule 7.4 below) RSU
Shares subject to any Allocation shall be delivered to his or her personal representatives as
soon as practicable following his or her death.
	 
	7.4	 	If any Participant ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability,
Retirement or Redundancy before the Vesting Date RSU Shares subject to any Allocation shall be
delivered to him as soon as is practicable following such cessation.
	 
	7.5	 	If a Participant ceases to be an Employee otherwise than as mentioned in Rules 7.3 to 7.4
above, no RSU Shares shall be delivered to him or her, unless the Board shall so permit in
which event the Board may in its absolute discretion determine the number of RSU Shares which
may be so acquired or delivered.
	 
	7.6	 	A Participant shall not be treated for the purposes of Rules 7.4 and 7.5 as ceasing to be an
Employee until such time as he or she is no longer a director or employee of any of the
Participating Companies.
	 
	7.7	 	The Company shall allot or procure the transfer to a Participant (or a nominee for him or
her) of the RSU Shares to which he is entitled, provided that:-

	 	7.7.1	 	the Board considers that the allotment or transfer thereof would be lawful in
all relevant jurisdictions; or

- 7 -

 

	 	7.7.2	 	in any case where a Participating Company is obliged (or would suffer
disadvantage if it were not to) to account for any tax (in any jurisdiction) for which
the person in question is liable by virtue of the receipt of shares and/or for any
social security contributions recoverable from the person in question (together, the
“Tax Liability”), that person has either:

	 	(a)	 	made a payment to the Participating Company of an amount of equal to
the Tax Liability; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	entered into arrangements acceptable to that or another Participating
Company to secure that such a payment is made (whether by authorising the sale
of some or all of the Shares on his or her behalf and the payment to the
Participating Company of the relevant amount out of the proceeds of sale or
otherwise).

	8.	 	MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, EXCHANGE, ACQUISITION, LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION
	 
	 	 	In its absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate,
the Board may determine that any RSU Award (which throughout this Rule 8 includes a Matching
RSU Award) shall lapse on a Change in Control, a merger, amalgamation pursuant to Irish law,
or other consolidation of the Company or the Willis Group with or into another company, the
exchange or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Willis Group for
the securities of another company, the acquisition by another Person or Group of 80% or more
of the Company or the Willis Group then outstanding voting shares or the recapitalisation,
reclassification, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Willis Group (“Event”),
and if the Board so provides, it shall on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate
in its absolute discretion, determine that the Vesting Date for all RSU Awards made under
the Plan shall be such date prior to the occurrence of such Event as it may decide and that
upon the occurrence of such Event such RSU Award shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect; provided, however, that the Board may also provide, in its absolute discretion,
that even if the RSU Awards shall continue in existence following the occurrence of such
Event, any such RSU Awards shall constitute an Allocation or Forfeitable Shares over the
kind and amount of securities and/or other property, or the cash equivalent thereof,
receivable as a result of such Event by the holder of a number of Shares in the Company
which was subject to the RSU Awards prior to the occurrence of such Event.

	9.	 	VARIATION OF CAPITAL

	9.1	 	In the event of any variation of the share capital of the Company, the Board may adjust
the number of RSU Shares as it considers appropriate. An adjustment under this Rule may have
the effect of reducing the price at which RSU Shares may be acquired to less than their
nominal value (the “Shortfall”), but only if and to the extent that the Board shall be

- 8 -

 

	 	 	authorized to capitalize from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the Shortfall and
to apply that sum in paying up that amount on the RSU Shares; and so that on the vesting of
any RSU Award in respect of which such a reduction shall have been made the Board shall
capitalize such sum (if any) and apply it in paying up such amount as aforesaid.
	 
	9.2	 	As soon as reasonably practicable after making any adjustment under Rule 9.1, the
Company shall give notice in writing thereof to any Participant affected thereby.

	10.	 	ALTERATIONS

	10.1	 	Subject to Rule 10.2 below, the Board may at any time alter any of the provisions of
this Plan, or the terms of any RSU Award (including a Matching RSU) awarded under it, in any
respect, provided that no alteration shall be made which conflicts with the terms of the 2001
Plan, of which this Plan forms a sub-plan.
	 
	10.2	 	No alteration to the disadvantage of any Participant shall be made under Rule 10.1
unless:

	 	10.2.1	 	the Company shall have invited every such Participant to give an indication
as to whether or not he approves the alteration; and
	 
	 	10.2.2	 	the alteration is approved by a majority of those Participants who have
given such an indication.

	10.3	 	As soon as reasonably practicable after making any alteration under Rule 10.1, the
Company shall give notice in writing thereof to any Participant affected thereby.
	 
	10.4	 	The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.

	11.	 	MISCELLANEOUS

	11.1	 	The rights and obligations of any individual under the terms of his or her office or
employment with any Participating Company shall not be affected by his or her participation in
this Plan or any right which he or she may have to participate therein, and an individual who
participates therein shall waive any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence
of the termination of his or her office or employment for any reason whatsoever insofar as
those rights arise or may arise from his or her ceasing to have rights under any RSU Awards
(including Matching RSU Awards) under this Plan as a result of such termination.
	 
	11.2	 	In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of this Plan,
or as to any question or right arising from or related to this Plan, the decision of the Board
shall be final and binding upon all persons.
	 
	11.3	 	Any notice or other communication under or in connection with this Plan may be given
either:

- 9 -

 

	 	11.3.1	 	by personal delivery or by sending the same by post, in the case of a
company to its registered office, and in the case of an individual to his or her last
known address, or, where he or she is a director or employee of a Participating
Company, either to his or her last known address or to the address of the place of
business at which he or she performs the whole or substantially the whole of the duties
of his or her office or employment; or
	 
	 	11.3.2	 	in an electronic communication to an address for the time being notified for
that purpose to the person giving the notice.

	12.	 	GOVERNING LAW
	 
	 	 	This Plan shall be governed by the laws of Ireland, without regard to conflicts of
laws.

SCHEDULE

In this Schedule words and expressions defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning when used in
this Schedule and the Rules of the Plan shall apply to the provisions of this Schedule, mutatis
mutandis, except where varied herein.

	1.	 	To the extent that RSU Awards made to Participants take the form of an immediate award
of RSU Shares subject to forfeiture if the conditions specified in the Rules are not met
(“Forfeitable Shares”), the provisions of this Schedule shall apply.
	 
	2.	 	It is a condition of the award of Forfeitable Shares that the Participant may not
transfer the Forfeitable Shares between the Award Date and the Vesting Date.
	 
	3.	 	Subject to Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 below, Forfeitable Shares shall remain forfeitable
until the Vesting Date.
	 
	4.	 	If any Participant who has been awarded Forfeitable Shares dies before the Vesting
Date and at a time when he is an Employee, his or her Forfeitable Shares shall immediately
cease to be forfeitable.
	 
	5.	 	If any Participant who has been awarded Forfeitable Shares ceases to be an Employee by
reason of Permanent Disability or is terminated by the Company without Cause or is terminated
as a result of Retirement before the Vesting Date, his or her Forfeitable Shares shall
immediately cease to be forfeitable.
	 
	6.	 	If a Participant who has been awarded Forfeitable Shares ceases to be an Employee
otherwise than as mentioned in Paragraphs 4 and 5 above, he shall forfeit his or her
Forfeitable Shares immediately, unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, permits
otherwise, in which event the Board may determine the number of Forfeitable Shares which shall
cease to be forfeitable as at the Vesting Date and the number of Forfeitable Shares (if any)
which the Participant shall forfeit immediately.
	 
	7.	 	The Participant agrees that the Forfeitable Shares shall be registered in the name of
a nominee between the Award Date and the Vesting Date (or, if the Company directs that the
Forfeitable Shares are registered in the name of the Participant, the Forfeitable Shares shall
be deposited between the Award Date and the Vesting Date with such person as the Company may
direct).
