Inc. (“ MMC ”) common stock, and the vesting
schedule applicable to that Award are specified in materials
provided to you by MMC Global Compensation (“ Grant
Documentation ”). The Award is also subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein (the “ Terms and

Capitalized

Rights of Award
Holders. Unless and
until the vesting conditions of an Award have been satisfied and
shares of MMC common stock have been delivered to you in accordance
with the Award Documentation, you have only the rights of a general

have been delivered to you, you have none of the attributes of
ownership to such shares (e.g., units cannot be used as payment for
stock option exercises; units may not be transferred or assigned;
units have no voting rights).
|
|
|
2.
|
Restrictive
Covenants Agreement. You must
execute a Restrictive Covenants Agreement in a form determined by
MMC (“ Restrictive Covenants Agreement ”) in
order to accept your Award and you must further reaffirm the
Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order to reaffirm your Award in
order for it to vest as provided in Section III. Failure to timely
execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants
Agreement by the date specified in the Grant Documentation will
result in forfeiture of all of your rights, title and interest in
and to the Award.

Accumulation of
Dividend Equivalents. Dividend
equivalents equal to the dividend payment that would have been made
in respect of one share of MMC common stock for each outstanding
Stock Unit covered by the Award will accrue in U.S. dollars on any
dividend payment date that occurs on or after the date of grant of
the Award while the Award is outstanding. Dividend equivalents will
be accrued only with respect to Stock Units that are outstanding on
an ex-dividend date. Accrued dividend equivalents will vest when
the corresponding Stock Units covered by the Award in respect of
which such dividend equivalents were accrued vests. Such vested
dividend equivalents will be delivered when the shares of MMC stock
in respect of such vested Stock Units are delivered, subject to the
satisfaction of any applicable tax obligations, as described in
Section II.C. Dividend equivalents will not be paid on Stock Units
that do not vest or are forfeited.
|
|
|
4.
|
Delivery of
Shares. Shares of MMC
common stock in respect of the Stock Units covered by the Award
shall be distributed to you as soon as practicable after vesting,

satisfaction of any applicable tax obligations, as described in

C.
|
Satisfaction of
Tax Obligations.
|
|
|
a.
|
Applicable
employment taxes are required by law to be withheld when a Stock
Unit vests. Applicable income taxes are required by law to be
withheld when shares of MMC common stock in respect of Stock Units
is delivered to you. A sufficient number of shares of MMC common
stock will be retained by MMC to satisfy the tax-withholding
obligation.
|
|
|
a.
|
Stock
Units. In most
countries, the value of a Stock Unit is generally not taxable on
the date of grant. If the value of the Stock Unit is not taxable on
the date of grant, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later
time, for example, upon delivery of shares of MMC common stock in
respect of the Stock Unit, and/or the subsequent sale of the
shares.
|
|
|
b.
|
Recommendation.
It
is recommended that you consult with your personal tax advisor for
more detailed information regarding the tax treatment of the
Award.
