 6Supplemental Retirement Agreement dated as of 1 July 2008

 Exhibit 4.34 
 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AGREEMENT 
 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AGREEMENT (the
“Supplemental Retirement Agreement”), made and entered into as of the 1st day of July , 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between WPP Group USA,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Paul Richardson (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company employs the Executive
as Group Finance Director; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to provide the Executive with a retirement benefit in lieu of benefits under the J.
Walter Thompson Company Profit Sharing and Matched Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing,
the mutual covenants and agreements herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term. This Supplemental Retirement Agreement shall apply during the period the Executive is employed by the Company and thereafter until the satisfaction of all rights and obligations hereunder. 
 2. Deferral Account. The Company shall establish a separate notional account to record the amounts deferred hereunder and amounts of income, gain or loss deemed credited
thereto as provided below (a “Deferral Account”). The Deferral Account shall be maintained for the Executive as a bookkeeping entry by the Company to evidence unfunded obligations of the Company. The Deferral Account shall be 

(i) increased by any credits as described in Section 3 below, 
 (ii) adjusted for income, gains and losses as described in Section 4 below, and 
 (iii) reduced by any payments made as provided in Section 6 below. 
 The balance in the Deferral Account at any point in time shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Deferral Account Balance.” The Deferral Account may consist of two separate sub-accounts, one of which is deemed to hold amounts
denominated in US Dollars (“USD Sub-Account”) and the other is deemed to hold amounts denominated in Great Britain Pounds (“GBP Sub-Account”). 
 3. Credits. 
 (a) General. For each full calendar year the Executive is employed by the Company (a “Year”), the
Company shall credit to the Deferral Account an amount (the “Annual Deferral Amount”) equal to: (i) with respect to the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, twenty percent (20%) of the Executive’s base salary for the applicable Year,
whether paid by the Company or by any affiliate thereof (“Annual Salary”), and (ii) with respect to the years thereafter, commencing as of the year 2008, thirty percent (30%) of the Executive’s Annual Salary. Crediting to
the Deferral Account shall occur Quarterly during each Year as described in Section 3(b) below. A “Quarter” shall mean a calendar quarter. For any partial Year, the Annual Deferral Amount for that Year shall be pro-rated to reflect
the period of the Executive’s actual employment during that year. If the Deferral Account consists of two sub-accounts as described in Section 2 above, the Annual Deferral Amount shall be apportioned between such sub-accounts in a manner
agreed to by the Company and the Executive. 

  

 1146270v1 03023 4001-019_ 

 (b) Timing of Credits to the Account. As of the Effective Date, the Deferral Account shall be credited with
£379,243.1 Thereafter, the Annual Deferral Amount, accrued Quarterly with respect to employment in any Year, as determined in Section 3(a) above, shall
be credited to the Deferral Account as of the last day of each Quarter. 
 4. Income, Gains and Losses.
In addition to Quarterly credits, and until the Deferral Account Balance is fully paid, the Deferral Account Balance shall be adjusted as of the last day of each Year to reflect hypothetical investment returns determined by reference to the
performance of not more than two investment funds designated by the Executive on Exhibit A hereto, such designation being subject to the approval of the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)). If two investment funds are approved and
denominated in the same currency, the hypothetical investment return shall be based on the weighted average investment returns of the two funds. If two investment funds are approved and one is denominated in US Dollars and the other in Great Britain
Pounds, the balance of the USD Sub-Account shall be deemed to be notionally invested in the fund that is denominated in US Dollars, and the balance of the GBP Sub-Account shall be deemed to be notionally invested in the fund that is denominated in
Great Britain Pounds, and the hypothetical investment return of each sub-account shall be based on the investment return of the fund in which it is deemed to be notionally invested. The Executive shall provide appropriate reports of the performance
of the investment fund or funds to the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or to the person, if any, to whom the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) has delegated recordkeeping responsibility hereunder (the
“Recordkeeper”). A report of the performance of such fund, or funds, shall be provided as soon as practicable following the end of each Quarter to the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) (or Recordkeeper), both for the Quarter
being reported and, if after the first Quarter, for the Year through the Quarter in question. The Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)), or the Recordkeeper, as the case may be, shall adjust the Deferral Account annually to reflect the
income, gains and losses that would have been realized by the Deferral Account (based upon such performance by the hypothetical investment fund, or funds). The Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) shall have the authority to establish such
procedures as it reasonably determines appropriate, after consultation with the Executive, to record such hypothetical investment returns, including, without limitation, procedures for the making of investment credits and debits to the account.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s hypothetical investment return during the six-month period ending on the December 31st prior to any payment date hereunder (or such shorter period determined by the Company in its sole discretion (“Short Period”)) with respect to the portion of the Deferral Account
payable on such date (“Payment Amount”) shall be based on the six-month LIBOR rate (or a LIBOR rate that is appropriate for the Short Period) quoted in the www.bba.org.uk website for the last business day within such period
(“LIBOR Rate”). Furthermore, the hypothetical investment return on the Payment Amount during the period beginning on the January 1st prior to the
applicable payment date hereunder and ending immediately prior to such payment date shall be based on the LIBOR Rate that is appropriate for such period. For these purposes, the US Dollar LIBOR rate shall be used for the USD Sub-Account and the GBP
LIBOR rate shall be used for the GBP Sub-Account. 
 5. Vesting. The Executive’s interest in the Deferral Account shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable
at all times. 
  
  
 1 This amount shall be (i) 20% of 2005 base salary, together with interest from the last day of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ended March 31, 2005 through the date immediately
preceding the Effective Date, plus (ii) 20% of 2006 base salary, together with interest from the last day of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ended March 31, 2006 through the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, plus
(iii) 20% of 2007 base salary, together with interest from the last day of each Quarter commencing March 31, 2007 through the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, plus (iv) 30% of 2008 base salary, together with interest
from the last day of the Quarter ended March 31, 2008 through the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Interest to be credited for each Quarter (or shorter period if the Effective Date does not begin a calendar quarter) shall be
credited at the 3-month LIBOR rate (or the LIBOR rate appropriate for the shorter period) quoted in the www.bba.org.uk website for the last business day in such Quarter (or such shorter period). The 3-month (or shorter period) US Dollar LIBOR
rate shall be used for amounts credited to the USD Sub-Account and the 3-month (or shorter period) GBP LIBOR rate shall be used for amounts credited to the GBP Sub-Account.

Section 1.409A-3(a)(5):

 (a)
Claims Procedure. If the Executive believes that payment has not been made in a timely manner the Executive may file a claim for benefits under this Supplemental Retirement Agreement (a “Claim”). A Claim shall be made by written
notice (i) describing the basis for the Claim and (ii) shall be submitted to the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate within six months after the date on which such benefit is claimed to have been due. Within sixty
(60) days after its receipt of a Claim, the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate shall respond to the Executive (or, if applicable, the Executive’s beneficiary) by written notice of its determination to approve or deny
the same, which notice, in the case of any denial, shall further set forth in reasonable detail the basis for denial, specific reference to the Supplemental Retirement Agreement provisions on which the denial is based, steps to be taken to have the
denial reviewed and, if applicable, a description of any additional material needed to be provided by the Executive. The Executive may, in his discretion, elect to treat any failure of the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate
to respond to a Claim within the time period set forth above as denial.

 1146270v1 03023 4001-019_ 

 (b) Review Procedure. If a Claim is denied, the Executive may obtain a review of the denial by written
request for review (i) describing the basis for his determination that denial was erroneous and (ii) submitted to the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate within sixty (60) days after the date of denial or
deemed denial of the Claim pursuant to Section 7(a) above, as applicable. Within sixty days (60) following the Committee’s (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate’s receipt of a request for review, the Committee (as
defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate shall review the Claim (together with any supporting documents or other written materials reasonably related to the request and submitted therewith) and give the Executive written notice of its
determination to approve or deny the same, which notice, in the case of any denial, shall further set forth in reasonable detail the basis for denial. No determination of the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or its delegate shall be
deemed to preclude further action by the Executive (or, if applicable, the Executive’s beneficiary) with respect to the Claim. 
 (c)
Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a claim related to Disability shall be administered in accordance with Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560.503-1. 
 8. Rabbi Trust. The Company may establish a trust agreement for the purpose of holding and investing amounts that may be used to provide benefits under this Supplemental Retirement Agreement. Assets held in such rabbi
trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. 
 9. 401(k) Plan. The Executive
shall not participate in the 40l(k) Plan. 
 10. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No Expectation of Employment. Neither this Supplemental Retirement Agreement nor the creation of the Deferral Account hereunder confers on the Executive an expectation of continued employment with the Company. 
 (b) Unfunded Plan. Any deferred amount to be paid to the Executive pursuant to this Supplemental Retirement Agreement is an unfunded obligation of the
Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 8 above (i) the Company is not required to segregate any monies from its general funds, to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits with respect to this obligation and
(ii) legal and beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments that the Company may make to fulfill this obligation, shall at all times remain in the Company. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the terms of the
applicable instrument, any investments, and the creation or maintenance of any trust accounts, shall not create or constitute a trust or a fiduciary relationship between the Committee (as defined in Section 10(c)) or the Company and the
Executive, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in the Executive, or any creditor(s) of the Executive or in any assets of the Company whatsoever. Neither the Executive nor any person claiming by or through the Executive, shall have
a claim against the Company for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Supplemental Retirement Agreement. The Supplemental Retirement Agreement is also intended to be a
“top-hat” plan which is maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and is exempt from the provisions of Part 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 (c) Administration. The Supplemental Retirement Agreement shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee of WPP Group plc or any individual or group to whom such committee delegates administrative responsibility (the “Committee”). The Committee shall: (i) interpret the Supplemental Retirement Agreement; (ii) prescribe,
amend and rescind rules relating to the Supplemental Retirement Agreement from time to time as it deems proper and in the best interests of the Company; and (iii) take any and all other action necessary or appropriate for the administration of
the Supplemental Retirement Agreement. The Committee may appoint a Recordkeeper as described in Section 4 above. The Committee shall have full discretionary power and authority to construe and interpret the provisions of the Supplemental
Retirement Agreement and to determine all other matters in carrying out the intended purposes of the Agreement.

 1146270v1 03023 4001-019_ 

 (d) Amendment. The Committee may from time to time amend the Supplemental Retirement Agreement, in whole or
in part. No amendment may impair the rights of the Executive except to the extent such amendment is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law including, but not limited to, Section 409A. 
 (e) Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold, from time to time, amounts necessary to comply with any and all applicable income, wage and
other tax laws, and to reduce the value of any Deferral Account or the amount of any payment hereunder as appropriate with respect thereto. Such reduction may include the reduction of Deferral Account balances on account of FICA, FUTA and other
amounts with respect to which required withholding precedes the date of payment. 
 (f) Assignment. The right of the Executive or any beneficiary
to the payment of any amounts under the Supplemental Retirement Agreement may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, nor shall such right or other interests be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process.

 (g) Incapacity. If the Committee finds that the Executive or any beneficiary to whom any amount is payable under the Supplemental Retirement
Agreement is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident or legal disability, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefore shall have been made by the Executive’s legal representative), at the discretion of the
Committee, shall be paid to the Executive’s next of kin. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the obligations of the Company under the provisions of the Supplemental Retirement Agreement. 
 (h) Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by Federal law, the Supplemental Retirement Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the state of New York, and in any dispute arising out of this Supplemental Retirement Agreement, including its application and interpretation, each Executive confers and consents to exclusive personal jurisdiction in the state and
federal courts in New York. 
 (i) Integration. This Supplemental Retirement Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the
Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 
 (j) Headings.
The use of headings herein is for purposes of convenience only and shall not effect the interpretation or substance of any provisions contained herein. 
 (k) Compliance with Section 409A. It is intended that all applicable provisions of this Supplemental Retirement Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and this Supplemental Retirement Agreement shall be
interpreted and operated in accordance with such requirements, where applicable.
