In the event your employment is terminated due to total and permanent disability as determined under MMC’s long-term disability program, any unvested portion of the Grant will vest and become exercisable on the later of the second anniversary of the Grant Date or your termination of employment. Such vested option shares (and any option shares that were vested at the time of your termination of employment) sha ll be exercisable until the expiration date of the option.

C.    Retirement

In the event you retire on or after your Normal Retirement Date, any unvested portion of the Grant will vest and become exercisable on the later of the second anniversary of the Grant Date or your termination of employment.

D.    Early Retirement

If (i) you retire on or after your Early Retirement Date and before your Normal Retirement Date and (ii) within 30 days following your termination of employment, you execute and comply with the Non-Solicitation Agreement for Early Retirees, then any unvested portion of the Grant will vest and become exercisable on the later of the second anniversary of the Grant Date or your termination of employment. Such vested option shares (and any option shares that were vested at the time of your termination of employment) sha ll be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of your termination of employment and the expiration date of the option. The Non-Solicitation Agreement generally applies for a period of three years commencing with your termination of employment, or such lesser period as may be applicable.

E.    Definitions

As used in Section V.C. and D., the terms “Normal Retirement Date” and “Early Retirement Date” shall have the respective meanings given such terms (or any comparable substitute terms or concepts) set forth in the Company’s primary retirement plan applicable to you upon your termination of employment.

F.    All Other Employment Terminations

For all other terminations of employment, the Grant, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited on the date of termination, except to the extent that the Compensation Committee of the MMC Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may determine otherwise.

VI. CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS 
A. Change in Control

Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” of MMC, as defined in the Plan, options under the Grant will become fully vested and exercisable, and any restrictions contained in the terms and conditions of an option shall lapse.

B. Additional Payment

The value of the accelerated vesting of options because of a Change in Control (the “Ac- celerated Award”) may be subject to a 20% federal excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax ”). The Excise Tax is imposed when the value, as determined by applicable regulations, of payments in the nature of compensation contingent on a Change in Control (including the Accelerated Award) equals or exceeds three times the average of your last five years’ W-2 earnings.

If a Change in Control occurs and vesting of options under the Grant is accelerated, MMC will determine if the Excise Tax is payable by you. If the Excise Tax is payable by you, MMC will pay to you, within five days of making the determination, an amount of money (the “Additional Payment ”) such that after payment of applicable federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon the Additional Payment, you will retain an amount of the Additional Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed in respect of the Accelerated Award. If the Additional Payment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be less than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, a fur ther payment will be made to you. If the Additional Pay- ment, after payment of applicable taxes, is later determined to be more than the amount necessary to reimburse you for the Excise Tax you owe, you will be required to reimburse MMC for such excess.

VII. OTHER PROVISIONS

A. Neither the granting of the Grant nor any exercise thereof gives you any right to continue to be employed by the Company, or restricts, in any way, your right or the right of your employer to terminate your employment at any time for any reason not specifically prohibited by law.

B. During your lifetime, an option shall be exercisable only by you, and no right thereunder shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

C. Neither you nor any person entitled to exercise your rights in the event of your death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of MMC common stock subject to an option, unless, and until, you have exercised the option, paid the full exercise price thereof, and have received the shares so acquired.

D. MMC is not liable for the non- issuance or non-transfer, nor for any delay in the issuance or transfer, of any shares of MMC common stock subject to an option or otherwise pursuant to the Plan which results from the inability of MMC to obtain, or in any delay in obtaining, from each regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer shares of MMC common stock, if counsel for MMC deems such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such shares.

E. The Grant is subject to all of these terms and conditions and to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and your acceptance of the Grant shall constitute your agreement to the 

terms and conditions of the Plan and the administrative regulations of the Committee. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail. Your acceptance of the Grant constitutes your agreement that the shares of MMC common stock acquired hereunder will not be sold or otherwise disposed of by you in violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations.

F. An option shall be exercised in accordance with, and the Grant shall be subject to, such additional administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt. All decisions of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or under these terms and conditions shall be conclusive and binding.

G. The Plan, and the granting and exercising of options or awards thereunder, and the obligations of MMC and employees under the Plan, shall be subject to all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required, including, but not limited to, tax and securities regulations. This provision takes precedence over all aforementioned terms and conditions.

H. The Committee has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Grant and the Plan. The Committee is comprised of at least two members of the MMC Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”).

		
	I.
	The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant awards under the Plan, except that, without the consent of an affected participant, no such action may materially adversely affect the rights of such participant under any award theretofore granted to him or her. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Board of Directors may not terminate the Plan or amend the Plan with respect to awards that have already been granted in any manner adverse to employees.

		
	J.
	No more than eight million (8,000,000) shares of MMC common stock (par value $1.00 per share), plus such number of shares remaining unused under pre-existing stock plans approved by MMC’s stockholders, may be issued under the Plan. Employees of the Company will be eligible for awards under the Plan. MMC common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MMC” and is subject to market price fluctuation. The shares delivered upon exercise of an option may be obtained through open market purchases, treasury stock or newly issued shares.

K. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Your right to payment of your Grant is the same as the right of an unsecured general creditor of MMC.

L. There are no investment fees associated with your Grant, and MMC pays all administrative expenses associated with your Grant.
