the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2000 Senior Executive
Incentive and Stock Award Plan or the Marsh & McLennan

applicable to you, the “ Plan ”). The type of
Award, the number of shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies,
Inc. (“ MMC ”) common stock or the amount of
cash covered by such Award, and the vesting schedule applicable to
that Award are specified in materials provided to you by MMC Global

terms and conditions as set forth in the country specific notices
(the “ Country Specific Notices ”). The
Prospectus dated [Date], also describes important information about
the Plan. The Terms and Conditions, the Country Specific Notices
(if applicable), and the Plan will be referred to herein as the
“ Award Documentation .”
Capitalized
terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section
V.
|
|
1.
|
Grant of Award
and Award Types. The types of
awards that may have been granted to you under the Plan are
described below. The description of a type of award in these Terms
and Conditions that is not part of your Award does not give or
imply any right to such type of award.
|
|

Rights of Award
Holders. Unless and
until the vesting conditions of an Award have been satisfied and
cash or shares of MMC common stock, as applicable, have been
delivered to you in accordance with the Award Documentation, you
have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor. Unless and
until shares of MMC Common Stock 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).

MMC (“ Restrictive Covenants Agreement ”) in
order to accept your Award and you must further reaffirm the
Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order to exercise an Option
and/or 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.

which such dividend equivalents were accrued vests. Such vested
dividend equivalents will be delivered when the shares of MMC stock

|
|
|
4.

Payment. At the election

high and low selling prices of the common stock of MMC on the New

applicable Scheduled Vesting Date will be used to convert the value
of the amount credited to the Cash Account, in U.S. Dollars, into

most countries, the value of an Option is generally not taxable on
the date of grant. If the value of the Option is not taxable on the
