ALON USA ENERGY, INC. 
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
[DATE]
WHEREAS, [___________] (the “Participant”) is an employee of Alon USA Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) or one of its Subsidiaries, and a Participant within the meaning of the Alon USA Energy, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”);
WHEREAS, the grant of restricted shares evidenced by this agreement (the “Agreement”) was authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
NOW, THEREFORE, subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the Company hereby agrees grants to the Participant [_______________] restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) effective as of the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”).  
Terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
1.Rights of Grantee.  
(a)    The Restricted Shares will be fully paid and nonassessable and will be represented by a certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant and bearing a legend referring to the restrictions hereinafter set forth.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Participant may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares.  In order to reflect the effect of any such event, appropriate adjustments will be made to the number and/or class of shares which Participant is eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    The Participant will not be entitled to vote the Restricted Shares or to receive dividends with respect to the Restricted Shares.  For purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Participant with the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Participant will not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, by reason of the transfer of the Participant’s employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries or a leave of absence approved by the Company’s Chairman of the Board.
2.    Restrictions on Transfer.  The Restricted Shares and the right to receive future grants of Restricted Shares may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Participant, except to the Company, until the 

Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with Section 3 below; provided, however, that the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Shares may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Shares before they become vested will be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction will not obtain any rights to or interest in the Restricted Shares.
3.    Vesting of Restricted Shares.   
(a)    The Participant will acquire a vested interest in, and the restrictions on voting and the right to receive dividends set forth in Section 1(b) and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2 will lapse with respect to, the Restricted Shares on January 1, 2018 (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s remaining in the continuous employ of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the period from the Date of Grant to the Vesting Date.  
(b)    Full Acceleration Vesting Upon Certain Events.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) but subject to the proportional vesting provisions of Section 3(c)(ii), the Participant will acquire a vested interest in, and the restrictions on voting and the right to receive dividends set forth in Section 1(b) and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2 will lapse with respect to, all of the Restricted Shares in the event of (i) the involuntary termination (including disability or death) of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for a reason other than Cause or (ii) the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Participant for Good Reason.
(c)    Proportional Vesting Upon Certain Events. 
(i)    Vesting Upon Closing of Merger Transaction.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a), the Participant will acquire a vested interest in, and the restrictions on voting and the right to receive dividends set forth in Section 1(b) and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2 will lapse with respect to, a proportional number of the Restricted Shares (as determined below) upon the closing of a Merger Transaction.  To determine the proportional number of Restricted Shares that will vest upon the closing of a Merger Transaction, the total number of Restricted Shares granted hereunder will be multiplied by the quotient of (i) the number of days that have elapsed between January 1, 2017 and the date of the closing of a Merger Transaction, divided by (ii) 365.  In the event less than all of the Restricted Shares vest in connection with the closing of a Merger Transaction, all remaining unvested Restricted Shares shall remain outstanding, subject to the restrictions set forth herein. 
(ii)    Vesting Upon Termination.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a), the Participant will acquire a vested interest in, and the restrictions on voting and the right to receive dividends set forth in Section 1(b) and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2 will lapse with respect to, a proportional number of the Restricted Shares (as determined below) in the event Participant declines, or fails to accept within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of, a Qualifying Offer of Employment and is thereafter terminated by the Company with or without Cause or resigns with or without Good Reason.  To determine the proportional number of Restricted Shares that will vest upon termination following rejection of Qualifying Offer of Employment, (A) the number of Restricted Shares granted hereunder will be multiplied by the quotient of (i) the number of days that have elapsed between January 1, 2017 

2

and the date Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, divided by (ii) 365, less (B) any Restricted Shares that have previously vested pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) upon the closing of a Merger Transaction, if any.  In the event less than all of the Restricted Shares vest in connection with the termination of Participant’s employment by the Company following receipt of a Qualifying Offer of Employment, all remaining unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited immediately and the certificate(s) represented the forfeited Restricted Shares will be cancelled. 
A “Qualifying Offer of Employment” shall mean an offer of continuing employment to begin following the closing of a Merger Transaction, which is for a position of comparable responsibilities, overall compensation and geographical location.  
(d)    Forfeiture.  Subject to the proportional vesting provisions of Section 3(c)(i) or Section 3(c)(ii), in the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than the disability or death of the Participant, involuntary termination by the Company other than for Cause or termination by the Participant for Good Reason, any and all grants of Restricted Shares that remain unvested at such time will be forfeited immediately and the certificate(s) representing the unvested Restricted Shares will be cancelled.
  
4.    Participant’s Put Right.  If at any time there is no longer a regular public trading market for the Common Stock, the Participant will have the right to require the Company to purchase any or all of the vested Restricted Shares in accordance with this Section 4.  The Participant’s right to require the Company to purchase vested Restricted Shares may be exercised by delivering a written notice (the “Put Notice”) to the Company that sets forth the Participant’s irrevocable undertaking to sell to the Company the number of vested Restricted Shares stated in such Put Notice.  The purchase price per share to be paid for the Participant’s vested Restricted Shares will be the Market Value per Share on the closing date of the purchase and sale contemplated by this Section 4, which will occur on the 30th day following delivery of the Put Notice or such earlier date as may be agreed to by the parties.  At such closing, the Company will deliver the aggregate purchase price to the Participant in cash, against delivery by the Participant of certificates representing the vested Restricted Shares being purchased, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and endorsed in good form for transfer.
5.    Retention of Stock Certificates by the Company.  The certificates representing the Restricted Shares will be held in custody by the Secretary of the Company, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the Participant, until the Restricted Shares vest in accordance with this Agreement.  In order for this Agreement to be effective, the Participant must sign and return such stock power to the attention of the Secretary of the Company.
6.    Taxes and Withholding.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the issuance or vesting of any restricted or nonrestricted Common Shares or other securities pursuant to this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the issuance or vesting of the Common Shares, as the case may be, that the Participant will pay such taxes or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof.  

3

The Participant may elect to satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation by retention by the Company of a portion of the nonforfeitable Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Participant hereunder, and the Common Shares so retained will be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Market Value per Share on the date of such issuance or transfer.  However, in no event may the Participant elect to have a number of Common Shares withheld in excess of the number of Common Shares required to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation.
7.    Compliance with Law.  The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company will not be obligated to issue any restricted or nonrestricted Common Shares or other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.
8.    Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the terms set forth below will have the following meanings:
(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor where imprisonment is imposed for more than 30 days; (ii) the Participant’s commission of any act of theft, fraud, dishonesty, or falsification of any employment or Company records; (iii) the Participant’s improper disclosure of confidential information of the Company; (iv) any intentional action by the Participant having a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business; (v) any material breach by the Participant of this Agreement or the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, which breach is not cured within ten (10) business days following receipt by the Participant of written notice of such breach; (vi) the Participant’s unlawful appropriation of a corporate opportunity; or (vii) the Participant’s intentional misconduct in connection with the performance of any of the Participant’s duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company, securing or attempting to secure to the detriment of the Company any profit in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company, any material misrepresentation to the Company, or any knowing violation of law or regulations to which the Company is subject.
(b)     “Good Reason” means (i) without the Participant’s prior written consent, the Company reduces Participant’s base compensation or the percentage of the Participant’s base compensation established as the Participant’s maximum target bonus percentage for purposes of the Company’s annual cash bonus plan, (ii) any material breach by the Company or its Subsidiaries of this Agreement or the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, which breach is not cured within ten (10) business days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach; or (iii) without the Participant’s prior written consent, the Company requires the Participant to be based at an office or location that is more than 35 miles from the location at which the Participant was based on the date hereof, other than in connection with reasonable travel requirements of the Company’s business.

The costs of the Appraiser will be borne by the Company.   
(d)    “Merger Transaction” means the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person or the merger of another person with or into the Company, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis) to another person, other than a transaction following which (A) in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving person in such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion to each other as before the transaction and (B) in the case of a sale of assets transaction, the transferee assumes the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and either is or becomes a Subsidiary of the transferor of such assets or is or becomes a person holding a majority of the total voting power of the Voting Stock.
9.    General Provisions.
(a)    The Company may assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any assignment of rights and obligations by the Participant requires the Company’s prior written consent.  This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

(e)    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.
(f)    Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction in such manner as will effect as nearly as lawfully possible the purposes and intent of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result

 2 

 (A)    If the redemption date is prior to December 30,
2021 (the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date of the 2022 Notes), the Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be
redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the 2022 Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the 2022 Notes matured on December 30, 2021 (exclusive of interest
accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then
current Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points. 
 (B)    If the redemption date is on or after
December 30, 2021 (the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date of the 2022 Notes), the 2022 Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be

values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the 2047 Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the 2047 Notes matured on July 30, 2046 (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the
date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. 

(B)    If the redemption date is on or after July 30, 2046 (the date that is six months prior to the
stated maturity date of the 

  
 3 

 
2047 Notes), the 2047 Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2047 Notes to be redeemed. 

(iv)    (A)    In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or,
as the case may be, a portion of either or both series of the 2022 Notes and the 2047 Notes in accordance with Section 1.01(e)(i)-(iii) above, as applicable to such series, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such
redemption to holders of such series of Notes to be redeemed by transmitting a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders. Any notice that is delivered in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part,
or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

(B)    Each such notice of redemption shall specify the series and amount of Notes to be redeemed, the date
fixed for redemption and the applicable Redemption Price at which such series of Notes to be redeemed are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the
Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date
interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to accrue on any Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes of a
series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such
series of Notes shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued. 
 (C)    If the Trustee is to provide notice to the holders of the Notes
in accordance with this Section 1.01(e)(iv), for a partial or full redemption, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal

  
 4 

 
amount of Notes of such series to be redeemed, and thereupon, in the case of a partial redemption, the Notes of such series to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the procedures of
the Depository in a manner that provides for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to two thousand U.S. dollars ($2,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of Notes of such series of a denomination
larger than $2,000. 
 (D)    The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of
instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of a series of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this
Section, such notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such
paying agent to give any notice that may be required under the provisions of this Section. 

(E)    Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of the applicable series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes of such series selected for redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of such series so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being
redeemed in part. 
 (F)    If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above
provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue

respect of the Notes of a series, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent

Additional 2047 Notes, if any, shall be unlimited. The 2047 Original Notes and the Additional 2047 Notes, if any, of such series shall constitute one series for all purposes under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation,

series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of
any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose.”

2.750% Senior Notes due 2022 

MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) (which aggregate principal
amount may from time to time be increased or decreased to such other aggregate principal amounts by adjustments made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto) on January 30, 2022 and to pay interest on said
principal sum from January 12, 2017 or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on January 30 and
July 30 of each year commencing July 30, 2017 at the rate of 2.750% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture (hereafter defined), be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment which shall be the January 15 or July 15 preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for (as defined in the Indenture, the “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment or at any time in any 

  
 A-2 

 
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in
the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the registered holder of this Note is Cede & Co., the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at such place and to such
account as may be designated by DTC. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and
unsecured and will rank in right of payment on parity with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
 This Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to or be valid until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed manually by or on behalf of the Trustee. 

The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect
as though fully set forth at this place.

 MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC. 

2.750% Senior Notes due 2022 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (referred to in the Base Indenture (hereafter defined)), of the Issuer (herein
sometimes referred to as the “Notes”), all such Securities issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of July 15, 2011 between the Issuer
and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented in the case of the Notes by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 12, 2017, between the Issuer and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as
so supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Issuer and the holders of the Notes. This series of Notes is initially limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in said Ninth Supplemental Indenture. This series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series shall
constitute one series for all purposes under the Indenture, including without limitation, amendments, waivers and redemptions. The terms and conditions of this series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series (other than the issue price, the
date of issuance, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and the first payment of interest following such issue date) shall be the same and shall bear the same CUSIP number. 

The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the
“Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to but excluding the redemption date: 

(a)    If the redemption date is prior to December 30, 2021, the Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due if
the Notes matured on December 30, 2021 to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points. 

(b)    If the redemption date is on or after December 30, 2021, the Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the
Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 A-8 

 In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a
portion of the Notes, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by transmitting a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date
fixed for redemption to such holders. Any notice that is delivered in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such
notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the series and amount of Notes to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption and the applicable
Redemption Price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York,
upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to
accrue on any such Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed
in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 

If the Trustee is to provide notice to the holders of the Notes as described herein, for a partial or full redemption, the Issuer shall give
the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and thereupon, in the case of a partial redemption, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in
accordance with the procedures of the Depository in a manner that provides for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to two thousand U.S. dollars ($2,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such
Notes of a denomination larger than $2,000. 

  
 A-9 

 The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its
behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Note, such notice to be in the name of the
Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to
remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail
that may be required under the provisions stated herein. 
 Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such delivery, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. 

If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall
default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all of the series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), as defined in the
Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities,
including the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding
affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), to 

  
 A-10 

 
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Base Indenture, or established pursuant to the Base Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, including the Notes, in which case, each such affected series voting as a separate class. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of
this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Base Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration
of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time and
place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed. 
 The Issuer is subject to certain covenants contained in the Indenture with
respect to, and for the benefit of the holders of, the Notes. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture or with respect to
reports or other certificates filed under the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the Issuer’s timely delivery of all reports and certificates required under
Section 5.03 of the Base Indenture and to fulfill its obligations under Article VII of the Indenture. If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions
of the Indenture, the holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such holder shall have previously
given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of
Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, each such series voting as a separate class, and in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(v) or (a)(vi) of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, all affected series
voting together as a single class) shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any
such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding (voting as provided in
Section 6.04(b) of the Base Indenture) a 

  
 A-11 

 
direction inconsistent with such request. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on
or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Note is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Security Register of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer or the Trustee duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the
Issuer nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be
had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past,
present or future, as such, of the Issuer or of any 

  
 A-12 

 
predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by
the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 The Notes are issuable
only in registered form without coupons in authorized denominations. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES INCLUDING THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY

4.350% Senior Notes due 2047 

MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) (which aggregate principal
amount may from time to time be increased or decreased to such other aggregate principal amounts by adjustments made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto) on January 30, 2047 and to pay interest on said
principal sum from January 12, 2017 or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on January 30 and
July 30 of each year commencing July 30, 2017 at the rate of 4.350% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture (hereafter defined), be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment which shall be the January 15 or July 15 preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for (as defined in the Indenture, the “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment or at any time in any 

  
 B-2 

 
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in
the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the registered holder of this Note is Cede & Co., the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at such place and to such
account as may be designated by DTC. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and
unsecured and will rank in right of payment on parity with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
 This Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to or be valid until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed manually by or on behalf of the Trustee. 

The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect
as though fully set forth at this place.

 MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC. 

4.350% Senior Notes due 2047 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (referred to in the Base Indenture (hereafter defined)), of the Issuer (herein
sometimes referred to as the “Notes”), all such Securities issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of July 15, 2011 between the Issuer
and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented in the case of the Notes by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 12, 2017, between the Issuer and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as
so supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Issuer and the holders of the Notes. This series of Notes is initially limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in said Ninth Supplemental Indenture. This series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series shall
constitute one series for all purposes under the Indenture, including without limitation, amendments, waivers and redemptions. The terms and conditions of this series of Notes and any Additional Notes of this series (other than the issue price, the
date of issuance, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and the first payment of interest following such issue date) shall be the same and shall bear the same CUSIP number. 

The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the
“Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to but excluding the redemption date: 

(a)    If the redemption date is prior to July 30, 2046, the Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer at a
Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due if the
Notes matured on July 30, 2046 to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. 

(b)    If the redemption date is on or after July 30, 2046, the Notes to be redeemed may be redeemed by the Issuer at
a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 B-8 

 In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a
portion of the Notes, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by transmitting a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date
fixed for redemption to such holders. Any notice that is delivered in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such
notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the series and amount of Notes to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption and the applicable
Redemption Price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York,
upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to
accrue on any such Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed
in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 

If the Trustee is to provide notice to the holders of the Notes as described herein, for a partial or full redemption, the Issuer shall give
the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and thereupon, in the case of a partial redemption, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in
accordance with the procedures of the Depository in a manner that provides for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to two thousand U.S. dollars ($2,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such
Notes of a denomination larger than $2,000. 

  
 B-9 

 The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its
behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Note, such notice to be in the name of the
Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to
remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail
that may be required under the provisions stated herein. 
 Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such delivery, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. 

If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall
default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all of the series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), as defined in the
Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities,
including the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding
affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), to 

  
 B-10 

 
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Base Indenture, or established pursuant to the Base Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, including the Notes, in which case, each such affected series voting as a separate class. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of
this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Base Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration
of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time and
place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed. 
 The Issuer is subject to certain covenants contained in the Indenture with
respect to, and for the benefit of the holders of, the Notes. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture or with respect to
reports or other certificates filed under the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the Issuer’s timely delivery of all reports and certificates required under
Section 5.03 of the Base Indenture and to fulfill its obligations under Article VII of the Indenture. If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions
of the Indenture, the holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such holder shall have previously
given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of
Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, each such series voting as a separate class, and in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(v) or (a)(vi) of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, all affected series
voting together as a single class) shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any
such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding (voting as provided in
Section 6.04(b) of the Base Indenture) a 

  
 B-11 

 
direction inconsistent with such request. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on
or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Note is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Security Register of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer or the Trustee duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the
Issuer nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be
had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past,
present or future, as such, of the Issuer or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, 

  
 B-12 

 
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance
hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in authorized denominations. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder
surrendering the same. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture. 
 THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES INCLUDING THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. 
 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has
caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Notes, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes.
