2.         Grant of the Option.

Option Price per Share and on the other terms as set forth in the Grant Notice. 

(b)        The Option is intended to be a Nonqualified Stock Option. 

3.        Exercisability of the Option. The Option shall become exercisable in accordance with
the Vesting Schedule and other terms set forth in the Grant Notice. The Option shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date stated in the Grant Notice (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination as set
forth in the Plan and this Agreement. 

  
 4 

 4.         Method of Exercise of the Option.

 (a)        The Participant may exercise the Option, to the extent then vested and
exercisable, by delivering an electronic notice to the Company’s stock plan administrator in a form satisfactory to the Committee and in accordance with the procedures established by the Company and the stock plan administrator, specifying the
number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and payment to the Company of the aggregate Option Price in accordance with Section 4(b). The Option may be exercised at any time as to all or any of the Shares then
purchasable hereunder; provided, however, that the Option may be exercised only with respect to whole Shares. The Participant hereby acknowledges that his or her ability to exercise the Option may be restricted by the Company’s
Insider Trading Policy and Global Standards of Business Conduct. 
 (b)        At
the time the Participant exercises the Option, the Participant shall pay the Option Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised to the Company, which payment may be made by one or more of the methods available under the Plan,
subject to any additional limitations or conditions that may be imposed by the Company and/or its stock plan administrator. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Secretary of the Company, at the main office of the Company, of such
written notice and payment, or, if the Company has engaged a third-party stock plan administrator, in accordance with the procedures established on such third party’s website. 

(c)        The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares to which the
Participant is entitled upon exercise of the Option is conditioned on the Participant’s satisfaction in full to the Company of the aggregate Option Price of those Shares and the required tax withholding related to such exercise. 

5.         Termination. Except as provided below, the Option shall terminate and be
forfeited upon termination of the Participant’s employment, and upon such termination and forfeiture of the Option, no Shares may thereafter be purchased under the Option. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Option shall
not be exercised after the Expiration Date. 
 (a)        Death or Disability.
If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated due to death or Disability and, to the extent Section 20 is applicable, the Participant has neither engaged in nor expressed an intention to engage in any of the activities
described in Section 20(a), then the Option shall thereafter be immediately exercisable for all or any portion of the full number of Shares available for purchase under the Option until the Expiration Date. 

(b)        For Cause Termination.     If the Participant
undergoes a For Cause Termination by the Company, then the Option shall immediately terminate and no portion of the Option shall be exercisable as of the date of such termination, regardless of whether or not all or any portion was vested and
exercisable prior to the date of such termination. 

  
 5 

 (c)        Retirement. In the
event the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for Retirement, the Option shall continue to vest according to the Vesting Schedule and shall be exercisable (to the extent vested as of the exercise date) until the Expiration
Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment on or after the date that the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible, and “Retirement Eligible” means the later
of: (i) the date that the Participant attains age 55; or (ii) the date that is the two-year anniversary of the Grant Date. 

(d)        Other Terminations. Upon termination of the Participant’s
employment by the Company or by the Participant other than under the circumstances described in Sections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), the Option, to the extent vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination, shall thereafter be exercisable for a
period of 30 days from the date of such termination, and any portion of the Option that was not exercisable as of the date of such termination shall be immediately forfeited. 

6.         Recapitalization. In the event that the outstanding Common Stock of the Company
is changed by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or a combination or exchange of shares, the number of Shares subject to the Option shall be adjusted in compliance with Section 6.7 of the Plan so
that the Participant shall receive upon exercise of the Option in whole or in part thereafter that number of shares of the class of the capital stock of the Company or its successor that the Participant would have been entitled to receive had he or
she exercised the Option immediately prior to the record date for such event. In the event of such an adjustment, the per share Option Price shall be adjusted accordingly, so that there will be no change in the aggregate Option Price payable upon
exercise of the Option. 
 7.         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. 

8.         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

  
 6 

 
or under the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant and on his or her legal representatives and beneficiaries. 

9.        Tax Withholding. At the time of receipt of Shares upon the exercise of all or any
portion of the Option, the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash, or make other arrangements, in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan, for the satisfaction of, any taxes of any kind and social security payments due or potentially
payable or required to be withheld with respect to such Shares. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all tax withholding (including social insurance contribution obligations, if any), the Participant 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 Option, 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 Option or any aspect of the
Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s (or his or her beneficiary’s) liability for such tax. 

10.      Non-Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by him or her; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, permit the Option to be transferred subject to such
conditions and limitations as the Committee may impose. 
 11.      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. 
 12.      No Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the Participant
nor any other person shall become the beneficial owner of the Shares subject to the Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any such Shares, until the Participant has actually received such Shares
following the exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 

13.      Consent to Transfer Personal Data. By accepting the Option, the Participant voluntarily
acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. 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 Participant identification number, salary grade, hire data, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock held in the Company, or details of all stock options, restricted stock awards 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

  
 7 

 
implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting Company in the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located throughout the world, including the United States. The Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the 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. 

14.      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. 

15.      Other Plans. The Participant acknowledges that any income derived from the exercise of the
Option shall not affect the Participant’s participation in, or benefits under, any other benefit plan or other contract or arrangement maintained by the Company. 

16.      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. 

17.      Section 409A. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated and other official guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). The Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and
interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Agreement is subject to Section 409A and 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. 

18.      Beneficiary. The Participant may designate a beneficiary to have the right to exercise the
Option until the Expiration Date under the circumstances described in, and in accordance with, Section 6.12 of the Plan. 

19.      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. 

20.      Restrictive Covenant; Clawback. THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT

 8 

(a)        (i)        If, at any time within
(A) the seven-year term of this grant; (B) two years after the termination of employment; or (C) two years after the Participant exercises any portion of this grant, 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 the 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 the 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 other non-public confidential or
proprietary material concerning the Company; or 
 (8) participating in a hostile takeover attempt of the
Company; 

  
 9 

 then this grant of stock options and all other grants of stock options held by
the Participant shall terminate effective as of 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 exercise of all or a portion of this or any grant of stock options shall be repaid by the Participant to the Company. Such gain shall be calculated based on the difference between the closing price per share of the Common Stock as quoted on
the New York Stock Exchange on the date of exercise (or, at the discretion of the Committee, the real time price per share of the Common Stock at the time of exercise) and the exercise price of the stock option, multiplied by the number of stock
options exercised 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) The Option and all other grants of stock options 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 20(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 20(a)(i) above that the 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 grant, 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 20(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. 

20A.    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 company within the group of companies of which the Company is a member (a “Group Company”)) the Participant, in the determination of the management of the Company, engages
in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or 

  
 10 

 
any Group Company, or inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Group Company including but not limited to:

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 grant or Plan and/or (only with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) any
gain realized by the Participant from exercising all or a portion of this or any other option 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
as a result of the occurrence of the events referred to in Sections 20A(a)(i) to (iii) above. 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 occurrence of the events referred to in Sections 20A(a)(i) to (iii) above. 

(b)       For the purposes of Section 20A(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
Termination Date the Participant: 
  

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

  
 11 

	 	 (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 option or any other stock options 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 grant or Plan and/or any gain realized by the Participant from exercising all or a portion of this or any other option
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 20A(c)(i) to 20A(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 20A(c)(i) to 20A(c)(iii). 
 (d)      The Option and all other
awards of stock options 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 20A. 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 20A(a)(i) to 20A(a)(iii)
and 20A(c)(i) to 20A(c)(iii) (inclusive) is separate and severable. If any of the restrictions is 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. 
 20B.    Forfeiture.      THIS SECTION
APPLIES ONLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF AUSTRALIA. 

(a)      If at any time during the Participant’s employment with the
Company (or any company within the group of companies of which the Company is a member (a

Earned Performance Units        

 
	  	  

The number of Earned Performance Units subject to this Performance Unit Award shall be based on achievement of the Performance Measures during
the Performance Period pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.
  

	  

Vesting Date
	  	  

100% of the Earned Performance Units shall vest on the third anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period, provided the Participant
remains continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date.
  

However, in the event of your Retirement, the vesting of the Earned Performance Units will be governed by Section 4(b) of this Agreement.

 

 This 2013 Performance Unit Grant Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as
of the Date of Grant shown above, between Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant named above, sets forth the terms and conditions of a grant of a performance unit award (this
“Performance Unit Award”) under the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Performance Unit Program (the “Plan”). This Performance Unit Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict, the Plan will control over this Agreement. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein. 

 1.         Performance Unit Award. The Company
hereby grants to you this Performance Unit Award for the Number of Performance Units specified above. The value of this Performance Unit Award is based on: (a) the achievement of the Performance Measures described in Section 3 during the
Performance Period described in Section 2; and (b) the Unit Value of a vested Earned Performance Unit, as calculated pursuant to Section 5. 

2.         Performance Period. The period of time during which the Performance Measures
described in Section 3 must be met in order to determine the Number of Performance Units earned under this Performance Unit Award is the Performance Period specified above. 

3.         Performance Measures. 

(a)        The number of Earned Performance Units under this Performance Unit Award
shall be determined by reference to the Performance Measures described in Schedule A attached hereto. If applicable, Schedule A sets forth the weightings and minimum, threshold and maximum levels of performance (the
“Performance Goals”) with respect to the Performance Measures, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. 

(b)        Actual performance against the Performance Measures must be certified by
the Compensation Committee in order for any portion of this Award to be earned under this Section 3. The Compensation Committee will certify the results of the Performance Measures as soon as reasonably practicable (the date of such
certification, the “Certification Date”) after the Performance Period. Any portion of this Performance Unit Award that is eligible to be earned based on the Committee’s certification will be earned on the Certification Date.
Any portion of this Performance Unit Award that is not eligible to be earned based on the Compensation Committee’s certification will terminate on the Certification Date. 

4.         Vesting; Termination and Retirement. Subject to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) below,
Performance Units that are earned based on the achievement of the Performance Measures in Section 3 shall become vested on the Vesting Date shown above, which is the third anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period. 

(a)        Terminations of Employment Resulting in Forfeiture.
    In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (including Retirement) prior to the Certification Date or for any reason other than Retirement on or after the Certification Date and
prior to the Vesting Date, then all Performance Units subject to this Performance Unit Award shall automatically terminate and be forfeited, cancelled and of no further force or effect. 

(b)        Retirement. In the event the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible
prior to the Vesting Date, then 100% of the Earned Performance Units shall become immediately vested upon the date that the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible; provided, however, that only Earned Performance Units shall become vested under this
provision. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon a 

  
 2 

 
Participant’s Retirement on or after the Certification Date but prior to the Vesting Date, payment shall continue to be made at the time and in the form set forth in Section 6. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary Termination of Employment on or after the date he or she becomes Retirement Eligible. “Retirement Eligible” means the later of: (i) the
date that the Participant attains age 55; or (ii) the date that is the two-year anniversary of the Grant Date. 

5.         Unit Value. The value of a vested Earned Performance Unit subject to this
Performance Unit Award shall be equal to the average Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock over the 12-month period immediately preceding the Vesting Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Unit Value be less than
50%, or more than 150%, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant. 

6.         Payment. As soon as practicable after the Vesting Date, but in no event after the
last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Participant shall receive a lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to the product of: (a) the Number of Performance Units subject to this Performance Unit Award; (b) the
aggregate weighted percentage achievement of the Performance Measures determined pursuant to Section 3; and (c) the Unit Value determined pursuant to Section 5. For example, a Performance Unit Award for 1,000 Performance Units with a
Performance Measure achievement level of 75% and a Unit Value of $25 (subject to the restrictions in Section 5) would result in a payment of $18,750. 

7.         Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, as defined in the
Plan, this Agreement and all Performance Units awarded hereunder shall be governed by Section 3.6 of the Plan. If applicable, payment under this Section 7 shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Change in
Control, but in no event later than 75 days thereafter. 
 8.          Miscellaneous.

 (a)        Administration. Any action taken or decision made by the
Company or the Compensation Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may
be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Participant and all persons claiming under or through the Participant. By accepting this Award or other benefit under the Plan, the Participant and each person claiming under or through the
Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken or decision made under the Plan by the Company or the Compensation Committee or its delegates. 

(b)        Tax Withholding and Furnishing of Information. There shall be
withheld from any payment under this Performance Unit Award, or from other compensation payable by the Company to the Participant, such amount, if any, as the Company determines is required by law, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal, state,
local or foreign income, employment or other taxes incurred by reason of making of the 

  
 3 

 
Performance Unit Award, the vesting of the Performance Unit Award or of such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to make payments under this Award that the
Participant promptly provide the Company with all forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the Company in connection with the Award. 

(c)        Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, the Participant’s rights and interests under this Performance Unit Award and the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, or made subject to any encumbrance, pledge,
hypothecation or charge of any nature. If the Participant (or those claiming under or through the Participant) attempt to violate this Section 8(c), such attempted violation shall be null and void and without effect, and the Company’s
obligation to make any further payments hereunder shall terminate. 

(d)        No Right of Participation or Employment. The Participant shall not
have any right to be employed, reemployed or continue employment by the Company or affect in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment the Participant with or without notice at any time for any reason without liability
hereunder. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment or otherwise between the Company and the Participant, or to be a consideration for or an inducement or condition of any employment. 

(e)        No Rights as Stockholder. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan
shall be interpreted or construed as giving the Participant any rights as a stockholder of the Company or any right to become a stockholder of the Company. 

(f)        Clawback, Forfeiture or Recoupment. Any payment made to the
Participant under this Performance Unit Award will be subject to the Company’s compensation recovery policy, as well as any other or additional “clawback,” forfeiture or recoupment policy adopted by the Company after the date of this
Agreement. 
 (g)        Beneficiary Designation. Subject to the provisions
of the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Senior Management Incentive Plan, you may, by completing and returning the appropriate form provided to you by the Company or its stock plan administrator, name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any
payment to which you may become entitled under this Agreement in the event of your death. You may change your beneficiary or beneficiaries from time to time by submitting a new form in accordance with the procedures established by the Company and/or
its stock plan administrator. If you do not designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary is living on the date any amount becomes payable under this Agreement, such payment will be made to the legal representatives of your estate, which
will be deemed to be your designated beneficiary under this Agreement. 

(h)        Section 409A. This Agreement and the payment of the Performance
Unit Award hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated 

  
 4 

 
and other official guidance issued thereunder (“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 Performance Unit Award 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. 

(i)        Governing Law. This Agreement, this Performance Unit Award and all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, 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.

	  	  	Performance Goals
	Performance Measure       
                 	  	    Weighting    	  	    Minimum    	  	    Target    	  	    Maximum    
	 EBITAC growth
	  	100%	  	5%	  	13%	  	13%

 For purposes of this Agreement, EBITAC shall be defined as earnings from continuing operations
for the Company’s brokerage and risk management reporting segments before interest, taxes, amortization and change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables. 

The target award is 100%. To achieve the target award, EBITAC growth of 13% must be achieved. Achievement below 13% will
result in the following percentages of Earned Performance Units: 
  

	 	 —
	 	   Less than 5% EBITAC growth – 0% 

  

	 	 —
	 	   5% EBITAC growth – 50% 

  

	 	 —
	 	   10% EBITAC growth – 90% 

If the actual performance certified by the Compensation Committee falls between the percentages specified above, the number of
Earned Performance Units under this Performance Unit Award will be calculated using straight-line interpolation, and will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Performance Units.
