INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements," as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management's current views concerning future events or results, use words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project" and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and "would."

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially affect our future results include, among other things:

the financial and operational impact of the coronavirus global pandemic on our revenue and ability to generate new business, our overall level of profitability and cash flow, and our liquidity, particularly the timeliness and ultimate collectability of our receivables;
the impact of disruption in the credit or financial markets, or changes to our credit ratings, including as a result of COVID-19, on our ability to access capital or repay our significant outstanding indebtedness on favorable terms and our compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness;
the impact from lawsuits, other contingent liabilities and loss contingencies arising from errors and omissions, breach of fiduciary duty or other claims against us, including claims related to pandemic coverage;
our ability to manage risks associated with our investment management and related services business, particularly in the context of volatile equity markets caused by COVID-19, including our ability to execute timely trades in light of increased trading volume and to manage potential conflicts of interest between investment consulting and fiduciary management services;
our ability to compete effectively and adapt to changes in the competitive environment, including to respond to technological change, disintermediation, digital disruption and other types of innovation;
our ability to attract and retain industry leading talent;
our ability to maintain adequate safeguards to protect the security of our information systems and confidential, personal or proprietary information, particularly given the large volume of our vendor network and the need to identify and patch software vulnerabilities, including those in the existing JLT information systems;
the impact of investigations, reviews, or other activity by regulatory or law enforcement authorities;
the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and regulations where we operate and the risks of noncompliance with such laws, including anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, trade sanctions regimes and cybersecurity and data privacy regulations such as the E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulation;
the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on insurance placement activities and various insurer revenue streams;
our ability to successfully recover if we experience a business continuity problem due to cyberattack, natural disaster or otherwise; and
the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, including certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or disagreements with tax authorities.
The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Marsh & McLennan Companies and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the dates on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made.
Further information concerning Marsh & McLennan Companies and its businesses, including information about factors that could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section and the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.     Nature of Operations
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company") is a global professional services firm offering clients advice and solutions in risk, strategy and people. Its businesses include: Marsh, the insurance broker, intermediary and risk advisor; Guy Carpenter, the risk and reinsurance specialist; Mercer, the provider of HR and Investment related financial advice and services; and Oliver Wyman Group, the management, economic and brand consultancy. With 76,000 colleagues worldwide and annual revenue of $17 billion, the Company provides analysis, advice and transactional capabilities to clients in more than 130 countries.
Business Update Related To COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The outbreak has become increasingly widespread around the world, including virtually every geography in which the Company operates. The pandemic has created uncertainty about the impact on the global economy and has resulted in impacts to the financial markets and asset values. Governments have implemented various restrictions around the world, including closure of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions, shelter-in-place requirements for citizens and other restrictions. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. This includes new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
The Company has taken a number of precautionary steps to safeguard its businesses and colleagues from COVID-19, including implementing travel restrictions, arranging work from home capabilities and flexible work policies. By the end of March, nearly all of the Company’s colleagues were working fully in a remote work environment, with virtually no disruption in the ability to serve clients. The safety and well-being of our colleagues is our first priority. The Company has established a $5 million support fund for colleagues in need, as well as matching gifts for charitable contributions. The Company is monitoring and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a daily basis to ensure that it continues to adhere to guidelines and orders issued by federal, state and local governments.
The ultimate extent of the COVID-19 impact to the Company will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that it is not able to predict. Factors that could adversely affect the Company’s financial statements related to the financial and operational impact of COVID-19 are outlined in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-Q.
JLT Acquisition
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition (the "Transaction") of all of the outstanding shares of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc ("JLT"), a public company organized under the laws of England and Wales. JLT's results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 are included in the Company's results of operations. The first quarter of 2019 does not reflect JLT’s results of operations for that period and therefore may affect comparability.
2.     Principles of Consolidation and Other Matters
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim filings, the Company believes that the information and disclosures presented are adequate to make such information and disclosures not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K").
The financial information contained herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

10



On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Such matters include:
the allowance for current expected credit losses on receivables,
estimates of revenue,
impairment assessments and charges,
recoverability of long-lived assets,
liabilities for errors and omissions,
deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and income tax expense,
share-based and incentive compensation expense,
useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization,
fair value estimates of contingent consideration receivable or payable related to acquisitions or dispositions
The Company believes these estimates are reasonable based on information currently available at the time they are made. Management has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within the Company’s financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. The ultimate extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat it, and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of certificates of deposit and time deposits, with original maturities of three months or less, and money market funds. The estimated fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value. The Company is required to maintain operating funds primarily related to regulatory requirements outside of the United States or as collateral under captive insurance arrangements. At March 31, 2020, the Company maintained $202 million compared to $197 million at December 31, 2019 related to these regulatory requirements.
Funds Held in Escrow For Acquisition
The Company received proceeds from debt issuances related to the JLT Transaction in the first quarter of 2019, which were placed in escrow. At March 31, 2019, these funds were reported as funds held in escrow for acquisition in the consolidated balance sheet. The funds were released from escrow upon the completion of the Transaction in April 2019.
Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable
The Company’s policy for providing an allowance for current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on its accounts receivable is based on management’s best estimate of amounts that will be uncollectible primarily based on the Company’s historical experience of collections in its various businesses and other events that may affect the net realizable value of receivables. The charge related to expected credit losses was immaterial to the consolidated statement of income in the first quarter of 2020.
Investments
The caption "Investment (loss) income" in the consolidated statements of income comprises realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments recognized in earnings. It includes, when applicable, other than temporary declines in the value of securities, mark-to-market increases or decreases in equity investments with readily determinable fair values and equity method gains or losses on the Company's investments in private equity funds.
The Company holds investments in certain private equity funds that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting using a consistently applied three-month lag period adjusted for any known significant changes from the lag period to the reporting date of the Company. The underlying private equity funds follow investment company accounting, where investments within the fund are carried at fair value. Investment gains or losses for the Company's proportionate share of the change in fair value of the funds are recorded in earnings. Investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting are included in "other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets.

11



The Company recorded a net investment loss of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net investment income of $5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The three-month period ending March 31, 2020 includes losses of $1 million related to mark-to-market changes in equity securities and sales of equity securities, and losses of $1 million related to investments in private equity funds and other investments. The three month period ending March 31, 2019 include gains of $3 million related to mark-to-market changes in equity securities and $2 million related to investments in private equity funds and other investments.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2020 was 23.8% compared with 23.0% in the first quarter of 2019. The tax rates in both periods reflect the impact of discrete tax matters such as excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, tax legislation, changes in uncertain tax positions, deferred tax adjustments and nontaxable adjustments to contingent acquisition consideration. The excess tax benefit related to share-based payments is the most significant discrete item, reducing the effective tax rate by 2.6% and 3.2% in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company's tax rate reflects its income, statutory tax rates and tax planning in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the annual effective tax rate and in evaluating uncertain tax positions.
Losses in one jurisdiction, generally, cannot offset earnings in another, and within certain jurisdictions profits and losses may not offset between entities. Consequently, losses in certain jurisdictions may require valuation allowances affecting the effective tax rate, depending on estimates of the realizability of associated deferred tax assets. The tax rate is also sensitive to changes in unrecognized tax benefits, including the impact of settled tax audits and expired statutes of limitation.
Changes in tax laws or tax rulings may have a significant impact on our effective tax rate. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. The Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $86 million at December 31, 2019 to $82 million at March 31, 2020 due to current accruals offset by settlements of audits and expirations of statutes of limitation. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between zero and approximately $13 million within the next twelve months due to settlements of audits and expirations of statutes of limitation.
Integration and Restructuring Charges
Severance and related costs are recognized based on amounts due under established severance plans or estimates of one-time benefits that will be provided. Typically, severance benefits are recognized when the impacted colleagues are notified of their expected termination and such termination is expected to occur within the legally required notification period. These costs are included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of income.
Costs for real estate consolidation are recognized based on the type of cost, and the expected future use of the facility. For locations where the Company does not expect to sub-lease the property, the amortization of any right-of-use asset is accelerated from the decision date to the cease use date. For locations where the Company expects to sub-lease the properties subsequent to its vacating the property, the right-of-use asset is reviewed for potential impairment at the earlier of the cease use date or the date a sub-lease is signed. To determine the amount of impairment, the fair value of the right-of-use asset is determined based on the present value of the estimated net cash flows related to the property. Contractual costs outside of the right-of-use asset are recognized based on the net present value of expected future cash outflows for which the Company will not receive any benefit. Such amounts are reliant on estimates of future sub-lease income to be received and future contractual costs to be incurred. These costs are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Other costs related to integration and restructuring, such as moving, legal or consulting costs are recognized as incurred. These costs are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
3.     Revenue
The core principle of the revenue recognition guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that principle, the entity applies the following steps: identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company's revenue recognition guidance is provided in more detail in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto

The Company records accounts receivable when the right to consideration is unconditional, subject only to the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to quota share reinsurance brokerage and contingent insurer revenue. The Company does not have the right to bill and collect revenue for quota share brokerage until the underlying policies written by the ceding insurer attach to the treaty. Contract assets are included in other current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers. Contract liabilities are included in current liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognized in the first three months of 2020 and 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each of those years was $289 million and $169 million, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized in the first three months of 2020 and 2019 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, mainly due to variable consideration from contracts with insurers, quota share business and consulting contracts previously considered constrained was $29 million and $17 million, respectively.
The Company applies the practical expedient and therefore does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (1) contracts with original contract terms of one year or less and (2) contracts where the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. The revenue expected to be recognized in future periods during the non-cancellable term of existing contracts greater than one year that is related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period is approximately $36 million for Marsh, $221 million for Mercer and $2 million for Oliver Wyman. The Company expects revenue in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and beyond of $142 million, $65 million, $37 million, $10 million and $5 million, respectively, related to these performance obligations.

4.     Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities
In its capacity as an insurance broker or agent, the Company collects premiums from insureds and, after deducting its commissions, remits the premiums to the respective insurance underwriters. The Company also collects claims or refunds from underwriters on behalf of insureds. Unremitted insurance premiums and claims proceeds are held by the Company in a fiduciary capacity. Risk and Insurance Services revenue includes interest on fiduciary funds ("fiduciary interest income") of $23 million in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Consulting segment recorded fiduciary interest income of $1 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Since fiduciary assets are not available for corporate use, they are shown in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to fiduciary liabilities.
Net uncollected premiums and claims and the related payables amounted to $9.7 billion at March 31, 2020 and $8.9 billion at December 31, 2019. The Company is not a principal to the contracts under which the right to receive premiums or the right to receive reimbursement of insured losses arises. Accordingly, net uncollected premiums and claims and the related payables are not assets and liabilities of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In certain instances, the Company advances premiums, refunds or claims to insurance underwriters or insureds prior to collection. These advances are made from corporate funds and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as receivables.
5.    Per Share Data
Basic net income per share attributable to the Company is calculated by dividing the after-tax income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
Diluted net income per share attributable to the Company is calculated by dividing the after-tax income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which have been adjusted for the dilutive effect of potentially issuable common shares.

The classification of contingent consideration in the statement of cash flows is determined by whether the payment was part of the initial liability established on the acquisition date (financing) or an adjustment to the acquisition date liability (operating).

14



The following amounts are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity. The Company paid deferred and contingent consideration of $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This consisted of deferred purchase consideration related to prior years' acquisitions of $25 million and contingent consideration of $4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid deferred and contingent consideration of $29 million, consisting of deferred purchase consideration related to prior years' acquisitions of $23 million and contingent consideration of $6 million.
The following amounts are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net credit for adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities of $1 million and made contingent consideration payments of $9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an expense for adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities of $11 million and made contingent consideration payments of $29 million.
The Company had non-cash issuances of common stock under its share-based payment plan of $201 million and $158 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for equity awards related to restricted stock units, performance stock units and stock options of $72 million and $57 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The funds held in the acquisition related escrow account at March 31, 2019 comprised proceeds from issuance of debt of $6.462 billion plus interest earned during the period of $25 million, less $129 million of payments on acquisition-related derivative contracts.

8.     Acquisitions and Dispositions
The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. Net assets and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing at the respective purchase closing dates. In connection with acquisitions, the Company records the estimated values of the net tangible assets and the identifiable intangible assets purchased, which typically consist of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements. The valuation of purchased intangible assets involves significant estimates and assumptions. Refinement and completion of final valuation of net assets acquired could affect the carrying value of tangible assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
The Risk and Insurance Services segment completed two acquisitions during the first three months of 2020.
January – Marsh & McLennan Agency ("MMA") acquired Momentous Insurance Brokerage Inc, a California-based full-service risk management and employee benefits firm specializing in high net worth private client services and insurance solutions for the entertainment industry, and Ironwood Insurance Services, LLC, an Atlanta-based broker that provides commercial property/casualty insurance, employee benefits, and private client solutions to mid-size businesses and individuals throughout the U.S.
Total purchase consideration for acquisitions made during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $245 million, which consisted of cash paid of $201 million and deferred purchase consideration and estimated contingent consideration of $44 million. Contingent consideration arrangements are based primarily on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. The Company also paid $25 million of deferred purchase consideration and $13 million of contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment until purchase accounting is finalized.

The purchase price allocation above is based on estimates that are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material. Any necessary adjustments must be finalized during the measurement period, which for a particular asset, liability, or non-controlling interest ends once the acquirer determines that either (1) the necessary information has been obtained or (2) the information is not available. However, the measurement period for all items is limited to one year from the acquisition date.
The estimation of fair value requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about future events and uncertainties, which could materially impact these values, and the related amortization, where applicable, in the Company’s results of operations.

Dispositions
In February 2020, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Alexander Forbes ("AF"), a South African company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (representing approximately 4% of AF) to an independent third party. At March 31, 2020, the Company owns approximately 31% of the common stock of AF. The Company expects to complete the sale of an additional 15% of AF shares during the second quarter of 2020. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will no longer account for this investment under the equity method, and will record the change in fair value in each subsequent period as an investment gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income.
Prior-Year Acquisitions
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the JLT Transaction and purchased all of the outstanding shares of JLT. Under the terms of the Transaction, JLT shareholders received £19.15 in cash for each JLT share, which valued JLT’s existing issued and to be issued share capital at approximately £4.3 billion (or approximately $5.6 billion based on an exchange rate of U.S. $1.31:£1). The Company also assumed existing JLT long-term indebtedness of approximately $1 billion. The Company implemented the Transaction by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006, as amended.

17



The Risk and Insurance Services segment completed five other acquisitions during 2019.
February – MMA acquired Bouchard Insurance, Inc., a Florida-based full service agency and Employee Benefits Group, Inc., a Maryland-based independent insurance agency.
April – MMA acquired Lovitt & Touche, Inc., an Arizona-based insurance agency and The Centurion Group, LLC, a Pennsylvania-based retirement consulting, asset management and benefit plan advisory firm.
October – MMA acquired Benefits Reports Insurance Services, Inc., a Massachusetts-based independent insurance agency.
Total purchase consideration for acquisitions made during the first three months of 2019 was $177 million, which consisted of cash paid of $142 million and deferred purchase consideration and estimated contingent consideration of $35 million. Contingent consideration arrangements are primarily based on EBITDA or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on projected revenue or EBITDA of the acquired entities. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment when purchase accounting is finalized. For the first three months of 2019, the Company also paid $23 million of deferred purchase consideration and $35 million of contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years.
Prior year dispositions
Subsequent to the JLT acquisition, the Company purchased the outstanding non-controlling interests of several JLT subsidiaries for cash payments of approximately $79 million.
In January 2019, Marsh increased its equity ownership in Marsh India from 26% to 49%. Marsh India is accounted for under the equity method.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed the sale of a U.S. Specialty business at Marsh and a U.S. large market health and defined benefit business at Mercer for cash proceeds of approximately $60 million. Also, on June 1, 2019, the Company completed its disposition of JLT’s global aerospace business for cash proceeds of $165 million and contingent consideration receivable of approximately $65 million, based on the aerospace business achieving certain revenue milestones in 2020. The aerospace business was divested as part of the European Commission's approval of the JLT Transaction.
Subsequent Event Transaction
On April 1, 2020, MMA completed the acquisition of Assurance Holdings, Inc, an Illinois-based independent agency. Assurance is a full-service brokerage providing business insurance, employee benefits, private client insurance, and retirement services to businesses and individuals across the U.S.
Pro-Forma Information
The following unaudited pro-forma financial data gives effect to the acquisitions made by the Company during 2020 and 2019. In accordance with accounting guidance related to pro-forma disclosures, the information presented for current year acquisitions is as if they occurred on January 1, 2019 and reflects acquisitions made in 2019 as if they occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro-forma information adjusts for the effects of amortization of acquired intangibles and additional interest expense related to the issuance of debt related to the JLT Transaction. The unaudited pro-forma financial data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved if such acquisitions had occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

approximately $4 million of revenue and an operating gain of less than $1 million related to acquisitions made in 2019.
9.    Goodwill and Other Intangibles
The Company is required to assess goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company performs the annual impairment assessment for each of its reporting units during the third quarter of each year. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a company can assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a goodwill impairment test. Alternatively, the company may elect to proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In 2019, the Company elected to perform a quantitative impairment assessment. Fair values of the reporting units were estimated using a market approach. Carrying values for the reporting units are based on balances at the prior quarter end and include directly identified assets and liabilities, as well as an allocation of those assets and liabilities not recorded at the reporting unit level. The Company completed its 2019 annual review in the third quarter and concluded goodwill was not impaired, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by a substantial margin.
The recent developments in the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in uncertainty in the global economy, and declines in equity markets, including in the Company’s share price. The Company considered whether such events would indicate an interim goodwill assessment should be performed. The Company considered its current projections, the Company’s share price in relation to the share price when the quantitative assessment was performed in the third quarter of 2019 and the substantial margin by which the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that the current events and circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic do not indicate an impairment of goodwill is more likely than not.
Other intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life are amortized over their estimated lives and reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of certain triggering events in accordance with applicable accounting literature. The Company does not have any indefinite lived intangible assets.

Goodwill allocable to the Company’s reportable segments at March 31, 2020 is as follows: Risk and Insurance Services, $11.3 billion and Consulting, $3.1 billion.

10.     Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by the FASB. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, for disclosure purposes, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on the inputs in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.
Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded money market mutual funds).
Assets and liabilities measured using Level 1 inputs include exchange-traded equity securities, exchange-traded mutual funds and money market funds.
Level 2.
Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);
c)
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including interest rate and currency swaps); and
d)
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full asset or liability (for example, certain mortgage loans).
Assets and liabilities using Level 2 inputs include treasury locks and an equity security.
Level 3.
Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices, or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs include assets and liabilities for contingent purchase consideration and the deal contingent foreign exchange contract (the "FX Contract") discussed in more detail in Note 11.
Valuation Techniques
Equity Securities, Money Market Funds and Mutual Funds – Level 1
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the sale price on their principal exchange or, for certain markets, official closing bid price. Money market funds are valued using a valuation technique that results in price per share at $1.00.

20



Contingent Purchase Consideration Assets and Liabilities – Level 3
Purchase consideration for some acquisitions and dispositions made by the Company include contingent consideration arrangements. Contingent consideration arrangements are based primarily on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization EBITDA or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration asset and liability is estimated as the present value of future cash flows to be paid, based on projections of revenue and earnings and related targets of the acquired and disposed entities.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contract Liabilities - Level 3
In connection with the JLT Transaction, the Company entered into the FX Contract, to hedge the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price. The Company settled the FX Contract on April 1, 2019, upon completion of the JLT Transaction.
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(a) Primarily reflects the impact of foreign exchange.
As set forth in the table above, based on the Company's ongoing assessment of the fair value of contingent consideration, the Company recorded a net increase in the estimated fair value of such liabilities for prior-period acquisitions of $1 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. A 5% increase in the projections used to estimate the contingent consideration would increase the liability by approximately $13 million. A 5% decrease would decrease the liability by approximately $17 million.
Long-Term Investments
The Company holds investments in certain private equity investments, public companies and private companies that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of these investments was $371 million and $434 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Investments Accounted For Using the Equity Method of Accounting
Investments in Public and Private Companies
As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Alexander Forbes was approximately $105 million. As of that day, the market value of the approximately 394 million shares of Alexander Forbes owned by the Company, based on the March 31, 2020 closing share price of 4.28 South African Rand per share, was approximately $94 million. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the pending sale of an additional portion of the Company's investment in AF.
The Company has other investments in private insurance and consulting companies with a carrying value of $170 million and $183 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company’s equity investments in insurance and consulting companies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, the results of which are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of income and the carrying value of which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records its share of income or loss on its equity method investments, some of which are on a one quarter lag basis.
Private Equity Investments
The Company's investments in private equity funds were $97 million and $107 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying values of these private equity investments approximate fair value. The underlying private equity funds follow investment company accounting, where investments within the fund are carried at fair value. The Company records in earnings its proportionate share of the change in fair value of the funds on the investment income line in the consolidated statements of income. These investments are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net investment losses of $1 million from these investments for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to net investment gains of $2 million for the same period in 2019.
Other Investments
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held certain equity investments with readily determinable market values of $18 million and $19 million, respectively. The Company recorded investment losses on these investments of $1 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and investment gains of $3 million for the same period in 2019. The Company also held investments without readily determinable market values of $32 million and $67 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In March 2019, the Company disposed of

22



its investment in BenefitFocus for total proceeds of approximately $132 million. The Company received $115 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $17 million in April 2019.
11.    Derivatives
On September 20, 2018, the Company entered into the FX Contract to purchase £5.2 billion at a contracted exchange rate, to hedge the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price of JLT, which was settled on April 1, 2019, upon the closing of the JLT Transaction. The FX Contract did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under applicable accounting guidance, which required the Company to record the change in the fair value of the FX Contract on each reporting date to the statement of income. The Company recorded a gain of $42 million in the consolidated statement of income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, related to the FX Contract.
In connection with the JLT Transaction, to hedge the economic risk of changes in future interest rates prior to its issuance of fixed rate debt, in the fourth quarter of 2018 the Company entered into treasury lock contracts related to $2 billion of senior notes issued in January 2019. The contracts were not designated as an accounting hedge. In January 2019, upon issuance of the $5 billion of senior notes, the Company settled the treasury lock derivatives and made a payment to its counter party for $122 million. A charge of $6 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2019 related to the settlement of the Treasury lock derivatives.
In March 2019, the Company issued €1.1 billion of senior notes related to the JLT Transaction. See Note 14 for additional information related to the Euro senior note issuances. In connection with the senior note issuances, the Company entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the economic risk of changes in foreign exchange rates from the issuance date to settlement date of the Euro senior notes. The Company recorded a charge of $7.3 million in the consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 upon settlement of this contract.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company has investments in various subsidiaries with Euro functional currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations between the Euro and U.S. dollar exchange rates. The Company designated its €1.1 billion senior note debt instruments ("euro notes") as a net investment hedge (the "Hedge") of its Euro denominated subsidiaries. The Hedge effectiveness is re-assessed each quarter to confirm that the designated equity balance at the beginning of each period continues to equal or exceed 80% of the outstanding balance of the Euro debt instrument and that all the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged net investment continue to match. If the Company concludes that the hedge is highly effective, the change in the debt balance related to foreign exchange fluctuations is recorded in foreign currency translation gains (losses) in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company concluded that the hedge continues to be highly effective as of March 31, 2020. During 2020, the U.S. dollar value of the euro notes decreased $8 million through March 31 due to the impact of foreign exchange rates, with a corresponding increase to foreign currency translation gains (losses).
12.    Leases
A lease is defined as a party obtaining the right to use an asset legally owned by another party. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For operating leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019, the Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term from the implementation date of the standard, January 1, 2019. The ROU asset was adjusted for unamortized lease incentives and restructuring liabilities that were reported, prior to January 1, 2019, as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. For leases entered into subsequent to January 1, 2019, the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities are based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at commencement date of the lease.
The Company uses discount rates to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate adjusted to reflect a secured rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and lease liability may include options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company leases office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with terms generally ranging between 10 and 25 years. The Company utilizes these leased office facilities for use by its employees in countries in which the Company conducts its business. Leases are negotiated with third-parties and, in some instances contain renewal, expansion and termination options. The Company also subleases certain office facilities to third-parties when the Company no longer utilizes the space. None of the Company’s leases restrict the payment of dividends or the incurrence of debt or additional lease obligations, or contain significant purchase options. In addition to the base

23



rental costs, our lease agreements generally provide for rent escalations resulting from increased assessments for real estate taxes and other charges. A portion of our real estate lease portfolio contains base rents subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") as well as charges for operating expenses which are reimbursable to the landlord based on actual usage. Changes to the CPI and payments for such reimbursable operating expenses are considered variable and are recognized as variable lease costs in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
As a practical expedient, the Company has elected an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead, accounts for these components as a single lease component. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that, at the commencement date, are for 12 months or less. Approximately 99% of the Company’s lease obligations are for the use of office space. All of the Company’s material leases are operating leases.

13.    Retirement Benefits
The Company maintains qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for some of its U.S. and non-U.S. eligible employees. The Company’s policy for funding its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to meet the funding requirements set forth in accordance with applicable law.
The target asset allocation for the Company's U.S. Plan was 64% equities and equity alternatives and 36% fixed income. At March 31, 2020 the actual allocation for the Company's U.S. Plan was 60% equities and equity alternatives and 40% fixed income. The target allocation for the U.K. Plans at March 31, 2020 was 33% equities and equity alternatives and 67% fixed income. At March 31, 2020, the actual allocation for the U.K. Plans was 30% equities and equity alternatives and 70% fixed income. The Company's U.K. Plans comprised approximately 81% of non-U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2019. The assets of the Company's defined benefit plans are diversified and are managed in accordance with applicable laws and with the goal of maximizing the plans' real return within acceptable risk parameters. The Company generally uses threshold-based portfolio re-balancing to ensure the actual portfolio remains consistent with target asset allocation ranges.
JLT Defined Pension Plans
As part of the JLT Transaction, the Company has assumed responsibility for a number of pension plans throughout the world, with $255 million of net pension liabilities as of December 31, 2019 (approximately $1,003 million in liabilities and $748 million of plan assets), the most significant of which is the Jardine Lloyd Thompson U.K. Pension Scheme ("JLT U.K. plan"). The JLT U.K. plan has a defined benefit section which was frozen to future accrual in 2006 and a defined contribution section. The assets of the scheme are held in a trustee administered fund separate from the Company.

The Company made approximately $27 million of contributions to its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2020. After consideration of the deferral discussed below, the Company expects to contribute approximately $87 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), contributions previously due during 2020 will be deferred until January 1, 2021. As a result, the Company will defer funding of approximately $47 million to its U.S. qualified defined benefit plans until January 1, 2021.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company maintains certain defined contribution plans ("DC Plans") for its employees, the most significant being in the U.S. and the U.K. The cost of the U.S. DC Plans was $37 million and $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cost of the U.K. DC Plans was $31 million and $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The interest rate on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company's credit ratings. This facility expires in October 2023 and requires the Company to maintain certain coverage and leverage ratios which are tested quarterly. The facility includes a provision for determining a LIBOR successor rate in the event LIBOR reference rates are no longer available. In such case, the rate would be determined using an alternate reference rate that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (the “LIBOR successor rate”). If no

27



LIBOR successor rate has been determined, the rate will be based on the higher of the rate announced publicly by Citibank, New York, NY, as its base rate or the fed funds rate plus a fixed margin. The Company had $1 billion of borrowings outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2020.
In January 2020, the Company entered into two new term loan facilities: a $500 million one-year facility and a $500 million two-year facility. The interest rate on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company's credit ratings. The facilities require the Company to maintain coverage ratios and leverage ratios consistent with the revolving credit facility discussed above. The facilities include a provision for determining a LIBOR successor rate in the event LIBOR reference rates are no longer available, which is expected to occur by the end of 2021.These facilities are expected to expire on or around the time that LIBOR is expected to be replaced by a successor rate. The Company had $1 billion of borrowings outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2020.
In April 2020, the Company entered into a new $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility has similar coverage and leverage ratios as the facility discussed above. As of the date of this report the Company had no borrowings under this facility.
In March 2019, the Company closed on $300 million one-year and $300 million three-year term loan facilities. The interest rate on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company's credit ratings. The Company terminated these facilities during 2019.
On September 18, 2018, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement to finance the JLT Transaction. The bridge loan agreement provided for commitments in the aggregate principal amount of £5.2 billion. In 2018, the Company paid approximately $35 million of customary upfront fees related to the bridge loan at the inception of the loan commitment, of which $30 million was amortized in 2018 and $5 million in the first quarter of 2019 as interest expense based on the period of time the facility was expected to be in effect (including any loans outstanding). The Company terminated its bridge loan agreement on April 1, 2019.
Senior Notes
In March 2020, the Company repaid $500 million of maturing senior notes.
In September 2019, the Company repaid $300 million of maturing senior notes.
In connection with the closing of the JLT Transaction, the Company assumed approximately $1 billion of historical JLT indebtedness. In April and June of 2019, the Company repaid approximately $450 million and $553 million, respectively, representing all of JLT's debt it acquired upon the closing of the JLT Transaction. The Company incurred debt extinguishment costs of $32 million due to the debt repayments.
Also in March 2019, the Company issued €550 million of 1.349% Senior Notes due 2026 and €550 million of 1.979% Senior Notes due 2030. In addition, the Company issued an additional $250 million of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, in March 2019. These notes constitute a further issuance of the 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, of which $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount was issued in January 2019 (see below). After giving effect to the issuance of the notes, the Company has $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029. The Company used part of the net proceeds from these offerings, along with the $5 billion of Senior Notes issued in January 2019 (discussed above) primarily to fund the acquisition of JLT, including the payment of related fees and expenses, and to repay certain JLT indebtedness, as well as for general corporate purposes.
In January 2019, the Company issued $700 million of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2020, $1 billion of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2024, $1.25 billion of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2039, $1.25 billion of 4.90% Senior Notes due 2049 and $300 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021. The floating rate notes are based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. These notes are due prior to the date that LIBOR is expected to be replaced by a successor rate, which is expected to occur in 2021.
Fair Value of Short-term and Long-term Debt
The estimated fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term debt is provided below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or need to dispose of the financial instrument.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt consists primarily of commercial paper, borrowings from the term loan and revolving credit facilities and term debt maturing within the next year and its fair value approximates its carrying value. The estimated fair value of a primary portion of the Company's long-term debt is based on discounted future cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Short- and long-term debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
15.    Restructuring Costs
JLT Related Integration and Restructuring
The Company is currently integrating JLT, which involves combining the business practices and co-locating colleagues in most geographies, rationalizing real estate leases around the world, realizing of synergies and migrating legacy JLT systems onto the Company's information technology environment and security protocols. The Company is also incurring cost for consulting fees related to integration management processes and legal fees related to rationalizing legal entity structures to reduce costs, mitigate risks and improve operational transparency.
Costs will be recognized based on applicable accounting guidance which includes accounting for disposal or exit activities, guidance related to impairment of long lived assets (for right of use assets related to real estate leases), as well as other costs resulting from accelerated depreciation or amortization of leasehold improvements and other property and equipment. Based on its current estimates, the Company expects to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with the integration and restructuring of the combined businesses, primarily related to severance, real estate rationalization, information technology rationalization, consulting fees related to the management of the integration processes and legal fees related to the rationalization of legal entity structures. The Company incurred $335 million in 2019 and $80 million in the first quarter of 2020 and expects most of the remaining costs to be incurred in 2020, with a modest amount in 2021. These integration and restructuring plans may change during implementation, which may change our current cost and related savings estimates, as the Company continues to refine its detailed plans for each business and location.
In connection with the JLT integration and restructuring, in the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred costs of $80 million: $61 million in RIS, $10 million in Consulting, and $9 million in Corporate. The severance and related costs were included in compensation and benefits and the other costs were included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.
Details of the JLT integration and restructuring activity from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, is as follows:

Other Restructuring
During 2018 and 2019, Marsh initiated programs to simplify its organization structure and realign and rebrand certain of its businesses. The Company incurred severance and consulting costs of $2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, related to these initiatives.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, Mercer initiated a program to restructure its business to further optimize the way Mercer operates, setting up the Company for a more fluid and nimble structure and operating model for the future.

The expenses associated with the above initiatives are included in compensation and benefits and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The liabilities associated with these initiatives are classified on the consolidated balance sheets as accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities or accrued compensation and employee benefits, depending on the nature of the items.
16.    Common Stock
There were no repurchases of the Company's common stock during the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The Company does not expect to repurchase shares for the remainder of 2020. In November 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to repurchase up to $2.5 billion in shares of the Company's common stock, which superseded any prior authorizations. As of March 31, 2020, the Company remained authorized to repurchase up to approximately $2.4 billion in shares of its common stock. There is no time limit on the authorization.
The Company issued approximately 2.3 million and 3.2 million shares related to stock compensation and employee stock purchase plans during the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

17.    Claims, Lawsuits and Other Contingencies
Acquisition of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of JLT. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of JLT, the Company assumed the legal liabilities and became responsible for JLT’s litigation and regulatory exposures as of April 1, 2019.
Litigation Matters
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a significant number of claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such claims and lawsuits consist principally of alleged errors and omissions in connection with the performance of professional services, including the placement of insurance, the provision of actuarial, investment advisory, and investment management services for corporate and public sector clients, the provision of advice relating to pension buy-out transactions and the provision of consulting services relating to the drafting and interpretation of trust deeds and other documentation governing pension plans. These claims may seek damages, including punitive and treble damages, in amounts that could be significant. In establishing liabilities for errors and omissions claims in accordance with FASB guidance on Contingencies - Loss Contingencies, the Company uses case level reviews by inside and outside counsel, and internal actuarial analysis by Oliver Wyman Group, a subsidiary of the Company, and other methods to estimate potential losses. A liability is established when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The liability is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as developments warrant. In many cases, the Company has not recorded a liability, other than for legal fees to defend the claim, because we are unable, at the present time, to make a determination that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent that expected losses exceed our deductible in any policy year, the Company also records an asset for the amount that we expect to recover under any available third-party insurance programs. The

30



Company has varying levels of third-party insurance coverage, with policy limits and coverage terms varying significantly by policy year.
Governmental Inquiries and Enforcement Matters
Our activities are regulated under the laws of the United States and its various states, the European Union and its member states, and the other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Risk and Insurance Services Segment
In April 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (the "FCA") commenced a civil competition investigation into the aviation insurance and reinsurance sector. In connection with that investigation, the FCA carried out an on-site inspection at the London offices of Marsh Limited, our Marsh and Guy Carpenter operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, and JLT Specialty Ltd., JLT's U.K. operating subsidiary. The FCA indicated that it had reasonable grounds for suspecting that Marsh Limited, JLT Specialty Ltd. and other participants in the market had been sharing competitively sensitive information within the aviation insurance and reinsurance broking sector.
In October 2017, the Company received a notice that the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission had commenced a civil investigation of a number of insurance brokers, including both Marsh and JLT, regarding "the exchange of commercially sensitive information between competitors in relation to aviation and aerospace insurance and reinsurance broking products and services in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), as well as possible coordination between competitors." In light of the action taken by the European Commission, the FCA informed Marsh Limited and JLT Specialty Ltd. that it had discontinued its investigation under U.K. competition law. In May 2018, the FCA advised that it would not be taking any further action with Marsh Limited or JLT Specialty Ltd. in connection with this matter.
In January 2019, the Company received a notice that the Administrative Council for Economic Defense anti-trust agency in Brazil had commenced an administrative proceeding against a number of insurance brokers, including both Marsh and JLT, and insurers “to investigate an alleged sharing of sensitive commercial and competitive confidential information" in the aviation insurance and reinsurance sector.
In 2017, JLT identified payments to a third-party introducer that had been directed to unapproved bank accounts. These payments related to reinsurance placements made on behalf of an Ecuadorian state-owned insurer. In early 2018, JLT voluntarily reported this matter to law enforcement authorities. In February and March 2020, money laundering charges were filed in the United States against a former employee of JLT, the principals of the third-party introducer and a former official of the state-owned insurer. We are cooperating with the ongoing investigations.
At this time, we are unable to predict the likely timing, outcome or ultimate impact of the foregoing investigations or any related matters. Adverse determinations in one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in a future period.
Consulting Segment
In 2014, the FCA conducted a thematic review of the suitability of financial advice provided to individuals by a number of firms, including JLT’s employee benefits business, relating to enhanced transfer value ("ETV") pension transfers. In January 2015, the FCA notified JLT that it was commissioning a Skilled Person review of JLT’s ETV advice. In February 2019, prior to the completion of the acquisition, JLT recorded a gross liability of approximately£59 million (or approximately $77 million) arising from the Skilled Person report and ETV review. Pending the outcome of the FCA’s review, and based on our review as of March 31, 2020, the Company has a gross liability of approximately £73 million (or approximately $91 million) recorded on its consolidated balance sheet for the estimated liabilities and costs arising from this matter. We expect this gross liability to be partially offset by insurance and indemnification claims under existing arrangements.
Other Contingencies-Guarantees
In connection with its acquisition of U.K.-based Sedgwick Group in 1998, the Company acquired several insurance underwriting businesses that were already in run-off, including River Thames Insurance Company Limited ("River Thames"), which the Company sold in 2001. Sedgwick guaranteed payment of claims on certain policies underwritten through the Institute of London Underwriters (the "ILU") by River Thames. The policies covered by this guarantee were reinsured up to £40 million by a related party of River Thames. Payment of claims under the reinsurance agreement is collateralized by segregated assets held in a trust. As of March 31, 2020, the reinsurance coverage exceeded the best estimate of the projected liability of the policies covered by the guarantee. To the

31



extent River Thames or the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under those policies, a claimant may seek to recover from the Company under the guarantee.
From 1980 to 1983, the Company owned indirectly the English & American Insurance Company ("E&A"), which was a member of the ILU. The ILU required the Company to guarantee a portion of E&A's obligations. After E&A became insolvent in 1993, the ILU agreed to discharge the guarantee in exchange for the Company's agreement to post an evergreen letter of credit that is available to pay claims by policyholders on certain E&A policies issued through the ILU and incepting between July 3, 1980 and October 6, 1983. Certain claims have been paid under the letter of credit and the Company anticipates that additional claimants may seek to recover against the letter of credit.

* * * *
The pending proceedings described above and other matters not explicitly described in this Note 17 on Claims, Lawsuits and Other Contingencies may expose the Company or its subsidiaries to liability for significant monetary damages, fines, penalties or other forms of relief. Where a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company establishes liabilities in accordance with FASB guidance on Contingencies - Loss Contingencies. Except as described above, the Company is not able at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because these matters are still developing and involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. Adverse determinations in one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in a future period.

18.    Segment Information
The Company is organized based on the types of services provided. Under this structure, the Company’s segments are:
Risk and Insurance Services, comprising insurance services (Marsh) and reinsurance services (Guy Carpenter); and
Consulting, comprising Mercer and Oliver Wyman Group.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements described in Note 1 to the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating income, which includes directly related expenses, and charges or credits related to integration and restructuring but not the Company’s corporate-level expenses. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas on the basis of where the services are performed.
Prior to being acquired by the Company, JLT operated in three segments: Specialty, Reinsurance and Employee Benefits. JLT operated in 41 countries, with significant revenue in the United Kingdom, Pacific, Asia and the United States. As of April 1, 2019, the historical JLT businesses were combined into MMC operations as follows: JLT Specialty is included by geography within Marsh, JLT Reinsurance is included in Guy Carpenter and the majority of JLT's Employee Benefits business was included in Mercer Health and Wealth.

19.    New Accounting Guidance
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Effective January 1, 2020:
In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends required fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance adds new requirements, eliminates some current disclosures and modifies other required disclosures. The new disclosure requirements, along with modifications made to disclosures as a result of the change in requirements for narrative descriptions of measurement uncertainty, must be applied on a prospective basis. The effects of all other amendments included in the guidance must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance impacted disclosures only and did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates the second step in the current two-step goodwill impairment process, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill for that reporting unit. The new guidance requires a one-step impairment test, in which the goodwill impairment charge is based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle disclosed upon transition. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The new guidance adds a CECL impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The new standard is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. Further, the new standard makes targeted changes to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2019:
The following new accounting standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019:
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance intended to improve financial reporting for leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases. Consistent with legacy GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the classification of the lease as financing or operating. However, unlike legacy GAAP, which requires

34



that only capital leases are recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires that both operating and financing leases be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective method, applying the new guidance as of the beginning of the year of adoption, with a cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2019. Therefore, prior period information has not been restated. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows historical lease classifications to be carried forward. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient in determining lease term and impairment of an entity's ROU assets. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of $1.9 billion and ROU asset of $1.7 billion, related to real estate operating leases. The ROU asset also reflected reclassification adjustments primarily from other liabilities related to existing deferred rent, unamortized lease incentives and restructuring liabilities of $0.2 billion upon adoption. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment required to be booked to retained earnings upon transition. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our income statement as compared to prior periods.
The following new accounting standards were adopted prospectively as of January 1, 2019:
Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance intended to refine and expand hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The guidance creates more transparency around how economic results are presented in both the financial statements and the footnotes, as well as making targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that allowed an entity to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Act (the "TCJA") from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for the period beginning January 1, 2019. The Company elected not to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company’s accounting policy related to releasing income tax effects from AOCI follows the portfolio approach.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. The standard removes specific exceptions in the current rules and eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (a) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (b) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments and (c) exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The standard also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (a) franchise taxes that are partially based on income; (b) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill; (c) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax and (d) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The standard takes effect for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial position.
In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends disclosures related to Defined Benefit Plans. The guidance removes disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance will impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Business Update Related To COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The outbreak has become increasingly widespread around the world, including virtually every geography in which the Company operates. The pandemic has created uncertainty about the impact on the global economy. Governments have implemented various restrictions around the world, including closure of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions, shelter-in-place requirements and other restrictions. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
The Company has taken a number of precautionary steps to safeguard its business and colleagues from COVID-19, including, but not limited to, implementing travel restrictions, arranging work from home capabilities and flexible work policies.  By the end of March, nearly all of the Company’s colleagues were working fully in a remote work environment, with virtually no disruption in our ability to serve clients. The safety and well-being of our colleagues is our first priority. We have established a $5 million support fund for colleagues in need, as well as matching gifts for charitable contributions. The Company is monitoring and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a daily basis to ensure that we continue to adhere to guidelines and orders issued by federal, state and local governments.
The Company has taken various actions to maintain liquidity in response to the potential impacts of COVID-19, including establishment of a new committed credit facility in April 2020, and actions to reduce expenses and capital expenditures.
The ultimate extent of the COVID-19 impact to the Company will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict. Factors that could adversely affect our financial statements related to the financial and operational impact of COVID-19 are outlined in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-Q.
Acquisition of JLT
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition (the "Transaction") of all of the outstanding shares of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc ("JLT"), a public company organized under the laws of England and Wales. Under the terms of the Transaction, JLT shareholders received £19.15 in cash for each JLT share, which values JLT’s existing issued and to be issued share capital at approximately £4.3 billion (or approximately $5.6 billion based on an exchange rate of U.S. $1.31:£1).

36



JLT's results of operations for the period January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 are not included in the Company’s results of operation for 2019. 
By virtue of the acquisition of JLT, the Company assumed the legal liabilities and became responsible for JLT’s litigation and regulatory exposures as of April 1, 2019. Please see the "Risk Factors" section of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for risks associated with the acquisition.
The Company’s results for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by JLT related acquisition, restructuring and integration costs as well as legacy MMC restructuring programs as discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions and dispositions impacting the Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting segments are discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
This Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See "Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" at the outset of this report.

The Company’s results of operations and earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include costs related to JLT integration and restructuring activities, and other MMC restructuring activities as discussed in more detail in Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements. These costs are reflected as part of net operating income. In addition, in 2019 the Company incurred other costs related to the financing of the JLT Transaction and hedging certain economic exposures. These costs are summarized below:

Operating income in the first quarter of 2020 increased 14% to $1.1 billion. The increase is due to an increase in the Company’s ongoing operating results, both legacy and from the inclusion of JLT’s results in 2020, partly offset by the year-over-year increase in JLT integration and restructuring costs.    
Income before income taxes increased to $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $0.9 billion in the first quarter of 2019. The increase is due to higher operating income, partly offset by lower interest income resulting from the investment of debt proceeds in 2019 prior to the acquisition of JLT and a gain in 2019 related to the change in fair value of acquisition-related derivative contracts.
Diluted earnings per share increased from $1.40 in the first quarter of 2019 to $1.48 in 2020, due to higher income before taxes, discussed above, a small decrease in the number of diluted shares outstanding partly offset by a higher effective tax rate.
JLT Integration and Restructuring Costs
The Company is currently integrating JLT, which is discussed in more detail in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, and will incur costs in connection with the integration and restructuring of the combined businesses, primarily related to severance, real estate rationalization, technology, consulting fees related to the management of the integration processes and legal fees related to the rationalization of legal entity structures. Based on current estimates, the Company expects to incur pre-tax charges of $700 million, of which approximately $625 million will be cash charges. These costs reflect $335 million incurred in 2019, $80 million incurred in 2020 and projected costs of approximately $285 million, most of which will be incurred in the next three quarters of 2020 and the remainder in 2021. Based on further analysis and review during the second half of 2019, the Company identified additional opportunities for further efficiencies that will result in additional future cost savings and is currently tracking ahead of our prior guidance. The Company expects to achieve run rate savings of at least $350 million. The Company realized cost savings of approximately $220 million and $125 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, and expects to achieve the remainder by the end of 2021. The Company incurred cash charges of approximately $265 million during 2019 and $61 million in 2020 and expects most of the remaining cash expenditures to occur in the remainder of 2020, with a modest amount in 2021, related to this initiative. These integration and restructuring plans are still being finalized, which may change our current cost and related savings estimates, as the Company continues to refine its detailed plans for each business and location.
JLT Acquisition Related Costs
JLT acquisition related costs are primarily related to legal fees that were directly related to completing the Transaction.

Consolidated Revenue and Expense
Revenue - Components of Change
The Company conducts business in more than 130 countries. As a result, foreign exchange rate movements may impact period-to-period comparisons of revenue. Similarly, certain other items such as the revenue impact of acquisitions and dispositions, including transfers among businesses may impact period-to-period comparisons of revenue. Underlying revenue measures the change in revenue from one period to the next by isolating these impacts.
The calculation of underlying revenue growth for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020, is calculated as if MMC and JLT were a combined company as of January 1, 2019, but excludes the impact of currency and other acquisitions, dispositions, and transfers among businesses. Combined prior year revenue information for MMC and JLT for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 is presented below. The unaudited 2019 JLT revenue amounts in "2019 including JLT" reflect historical JLT revenue information following IFRS, adjusted to conform with U.S. GAAP and MMC’s specific accounting policies, primarily related to development of constraints and subsequent release of those constraints related to the reinsurance business. The decrease in revenue related to the JLT aerospace business, which was sold in June 2019, is reflected in the acquisitions/dispositions column. All other acquisitions/dispositions activity is included in the acquisitions/dispositions column. Underlying expense growth is calculated in a similar manner.
The impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, acquisitions and dispositions, including transfers among businesses, on the Company's operating revenues by segment are as follows:

* Components of revenue change may not add due to rounding.

Revenue
Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $4.7 billion, an increase of 14% on a reported basis. This reflects an increase of 5% on an underlying basis and a decrease of 1% from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Revenue in the Risk and Insurance Services segment for the first quarter of 2020 was $2.9 billion, an increase of 20% from the same quarter of the prior year. This reflects increases of 5% on an underlying basis and 1% from acquisitions, partly offset by a 1% decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation. Consulting revenue of $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020 increased 5%. Revenue increased 3% on an underlying basis, partly offset by decreases of 1% from the impact of foreign currency translation and 1% from the disposition of a business.
Operating Expense
The Company incurred approximately $93 million and $47 million of operating expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, related to JLT acquisition, integration and restructuring charges as discussed in more detail in Notes 8 and 15 of the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated operating expense in the first quarter increased 14% compared with the same period last year. Expense increased 3% on an underlying basis and 1% from the impact of acquisitions, partly offset by a decrease of 1% from the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in underlying expense is primarily due to higher acquisition, integration and restructuring charges related to the JLT Transaction and higher incentive compensation.

Revenue
Revenue in the Consulting segment in the first quarter of 2020 was $1.8 billion, an increase of 5% compared to the same period last year. This reflects a 3% increase in underlying revenue, partly offset by decreases of 1% from the impact of foreign currency translation and 1% from dispositions.
Mercer's revenue of approximately $1.3 billion increased 8% compared to the same period last year. This reflects an increase of 5% on an underlying basis, partly offset by decreases of 2% from the impact of foreign currency translation and 2% from dispositions of businesses. On an underlying basis, revenue in Health increased 8%, Wealth increased 3% and Career increased 2%. Oliver Wyman's revenue decreased 1% to $511 million, reflecting a 1% decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation. Oliver Wyman’s revenue was flat on an underlying basis, as growth in the first part of the quarter was offset by COVID-19 related impact in March.
Expense
Consulting expenses in the first quarter of 2020 increased 6% as compared to the first quarter of 2019. This reflects an underlying expense increase of 4% partly offset by a 1% decrease from dispositions and a 2% decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in underlying expenses is primarily due to higher base salaries, outside services and asset-based fees.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses were $66 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $74 million in the same period of 2019, reflecting decreases in acquisition, integration and restructuring costs related to the JLT Transaction.
Interest
Interest income earned on corporate funds was $2 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $28 million in the same period last year. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company issued approximately $6.5 billion of senior

41



notes related to the JLT acquisition. The funds were held in escrow and released for payment in April when the acquisition was completed. The decrease in interest income from the prior year is due to interest earned on these funds in 2019.
Interest expense increased $7 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to new debt issuances related to the JLT acquisition, partly offset by lower costs related to the amortization of bridge loan fees that were incurred in the first quarter of 2019.
Investment Income
The caption "Investment income" in the consolidated statements of income comprises realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments. It includes, when applicable, other-than-temporary declines in the value of securities, mark-to-market increases/decreases in equity investments with readily determinable fair values and equity method gains or losses on its investments in private equity funds. The Company's investments may include direct investments in insurance, consulting or other strategically linked companies and investments in private equity funds.
The Company recorded a net investment loss of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net investment income of $5 million and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. The three-month period ending March 31, 2020 includes losses of $1 million related to mark-to-market changes in equity securities and sales of equity investments and losses of $1 million related to investments in private equity funds and other investments. The three-month period ending March 31, 2019 include gains of $3 million related to mark-to-market changes in equity securities and $2 million related to investments in private equity funds and other investments.
Income and Other Taxes
As noted above, on April 1, 2019, the Company completed the JLT Transaction. The integration of this global organization required intercompany transfers of acquired entities into the Company's country structures and combination of those entities within the equivalent Company businesses. The integration transactions were designed to be tax efficient. The Company's global effective tax rate on JLT's earnings was reduced compared to JLT's pre-acquisition tax rate by utilizing debt for the restructuring transactions to be capital efficient, and reducing the generation of post-acquisition tax losses by merging historically unprofitable JLT entities with profitable Company operations. The provisions for deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions have been established as part of the purchase price allocation as of April 1, 2019.
The broader JLT organization is now held under the Company, which makes it part of a U.S.-based multinational company and subjects it to full U.S. taxation. The integration of the JLT entities into the Company's entities where applicable should be substantially complete by the end of 2020.
The Company's effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2020 was 23.8% compared with 23.0% in the first quarter of 2019. The tax rates in both periods reflect the impact of discrete tax matters such as excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, tax legislation, changes in uncertain tax positions, deferred tax adjustments and non-taxable adjustments to contingent acquisition consideration. The excess tax benefit related to share-based payments is the most significant discrete item, reducing the effective tax rate by 2.6% and 3.2% in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effect of this item is generally larger in the first quarter than any other due to the Company’s restricted stock grants vesting primarily in the first quarter.
The effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period for the foreseeable future. The effective tax rate is sensitive to the geographic mix and repatriation of the Company's earnings, which may result in higher or lower tax rates. Thus, a shift in the mix of profits among jurisdictions, or changes in the Company’s repatriation strategy to access offshore cash, can affect the effective tax rate.
In addition, losses in certain jurisdictions cannot be offset by earnings from other operations, and may require valuation allowances that affect the rate, depending on estimates of the value of associated deferred tax assets which can be realized. A valuation allowance was recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. The effective tax rate is also sensitive to changes in unrecognized tax benefits, including the impact of settled tax audits and expired statutes of limitation.
Changes in tax laws, rulings, policies or related legal and regulatory interpretations occur frequently and may have a significant favorable or adverse impact on our effective tax rate.
As a U.S. domiciled parent holding company, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. is the issuer of essentially all of the Company's external indebtedness, and incurs the related interest expense in the U.S. The Company’s interest expense deductions are not currently limited. Further, most senior executive and oversight functions are conducted in the U.S. and the associated costs are incurred primarily in the United States. Some of these expenses may not be deductible in the U.S., which may impact the effective tax rate.

42



The quasi-territorial U.S. tax regime provides an opportunity for the Company to repatriate foreign earnings more tax efficiently and there is less incentive for permanent reinvestment of these earnings. However, permanent reinvestment continues to be a component of the Company’s global capital strategy. The Company revised its permanent reinvestment assertion related to accumulated earnings that were subject to the 2017 transition tax of the TCJA, to facilitate repatriation of most of those accumulated earnings. For post-2017 years, including 2020, the Company continues to evaluate its global investment and repatriation strategy in light of our capital requirements, considering the TCJA and the quasi-territorial tax regime for future foreign earnings.
The Company has established liabilities for uncertain tax positions in relation to potential assessments in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company believes the resolution of tax matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, although a resolution of tax matters could have a material impact on the Company's net income or cash flows and on its effective tax rate in a particular future period. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between zero and approximately $13 million within the next twelve months due to settlement of audits and expiration of statutes of limitation.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided over $2 trillion in economic relief to individuals, governmental agencies and companies, to deal with the public health and economic impacts of COVID-19. Pursuant to the CARES Act, payroll taxes due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020 will be deferred until 2021 and 2022 (50% to be paid each year) without interest or penalties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is organized as a legal entity separate and distinct from its operating subsidiaries. As the Company does not have significant operations of its own, the Company is dependent upon dividends and other payments from its operating subsidiaries to pay principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations, pay dividends to stockholders, repurchase its shares and pay corporate expenses. The Company can also provide financial support to its operating subsidiaries for acquisitions, investments and certain parts of their business that require liquidity, such as the capital markets business of Guy Carpenter. Other sources of liquidity include borrowing facilities discussed below in financing cash flows.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue and operating profit from operating subsidiaries located outside of the United States. Funds from those operating subsidiaries are regularly repatriated to the United States out of annual earnings. At March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $879 million of cash and cash equivalents in its foreign operations, which includes $179 million of operating funds required to be maintained for regulatory requirements or as collateral under certain captive insurance arrangements. The Company expects to continue its practice of repatriating available funds from its non-U.S. operating subsidiaries out of current annual earnings. Where appropriate, a portion of the current year earnings will continue to be permanently reinvested. With respect to repatriating 2018 and prior earnings, the Company has evaluated such factors as its short- and long-term capital needs, acquisition and borrowing strategies, and the availability of cash for repatriation for each of its subsidiaries. The Company has determined that, in general, its permanent reinvestment assertions, in light of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, should allow the Company to repatriate previously taxed earnings from the deemed repatriations as cash becomes available.
During the first three months of 2020, the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustments which decreased net equity by $930 million. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would reduce the translated U.S. dollar value of the Company’s net investments in its non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the translated U.S. dollar value of cash repatriations from those subsidiaries.
Cash on our consolidated balance sheets includes funds available for general corporate purposes. Funds held on behalf of clients in a fiduciary capacity are segregated and shown separately in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to fiduciary liabilities. Fiduciary funds cannot be used for general corporate purposes, and should not be considered as a source of liquidity for the Company.
Operating Cash Flows
The Company used $638 million of cash from operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 compared to $276 million used by operations in the first three months of 2019. These amounts reflect the net income of the Company during those periods, excluding gains or losses from investments, adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital which relate primarily to the timing of payments of accrued liabilities and pension plan contributions or receipts of assets. The Company paid $61 million related to the JLT integration and restructuring activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Pension Related Items
Contributions
The Company's policy for funding its tax-qualified defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to meet the funding requirements set forth in accordance with applicable law. During the first three months of 2020, the Company contributed $18 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $9 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. In the first three months of 2019, the Company contributed $14 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $7 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
In the United States, contributions to the tax-qualified defined benefit plans are based on ERISA guidelines.
Outside the United States, the Company has a large number of defined benefit pension plans, the largest of which are in the U.K., which comprise approximately 81% of non-U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2019. Contribution rates for non-U.S. plans are generally based on local funding practices and statutory requirements, which may differ significantly from measurements under U.S. GAAP. In the U.K., the assumptions used to determine pension contributions are the result of legally-prescribed negotiations between the Company and the plans' trustee that typically occur every three years in conjunction with the actuarial valuation of the plans. Currently, this results in a lower funded status than under U.S. GAAP and may result in contributions irrespective of the U.S. GAAP funded status. For the MMC U.K. Pension Fund, a new agreement was reached with the trustee in the fourth quarter of 2019 based on the surplus funding position at December 31, 2018. Under the agreement no deficit funding is required until 2023. The funding level will be re-assessed during 2022 to determine if contributions are required in 2023. As part of a long-term strategy, which depends on having greater influence over asset allocation and overall

44



investment decisions, in November 2019 the Company renewed its agreement to support annual deficit contributions by the U.K. operating companies under certain circumstances, up to GBP 450 million over a seven-year period. In addition, in the U.K. the Company assumed responsibility for JLT's Pension Scheme ("JLT U.K. plan"). Deficit funding of approximately $28 million is expected during 2020 with a new funding agreement expected to be reached with the Trustee during 2020.
The Company expects to fund an additional $66 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit plans over the remainder of 2020, comprising approximately $37 million to plans outside of the U.K. and $29 million to the U.K. plans. After consideration of the deferral discussed below, the Company expects to fund an additional $21 million to its U.S. defined benefit plans during the remainder of 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, contributions previously due during 2020 will be deferred until January 1, 2021. As a result, MMC will defer funding of approximately $47 million to its U.S. qualified defined benefit plans until January 1, 2021.
Changes in Pension Plans
As part of the JLT Transaction, the Company has assumed responsibility for a number of pension plans throughout the world, with $255 million of net pension liabilities as of December 31, 2019 (approximately $1 billion of plan liabilities and $748 million of plan assets as of December 31, 2019), the most significant of which is the Jardine Lloyd Thompson U.K. Pension Scheme ("JLT U.K. plan"). The JLT U.K. plan has a defined benefit section which was frozen to future accrual in 2006 and a defined contribution section. The assets of the scheme are held in a trustee administered fund separate from the Company.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared with $6.8 billion of net cash provided by such activities for the same period in 2019.
Credit Facilities
In October 2018, the Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries increased its multi-currency five-year unsecured revolving credit facility from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion. The interest rate on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company's credit ratings. This facility expires in October 2023 and requires the Company to maintain certain coverage and leverage ratios which are tested quarterly. The Company had $1 billion of borrowings outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2020.
In January 2020, the Company entered into two new term loan facilities: a $500 million one-year facility and a $500 million two-year facility. The interest rate on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company's credit ratings. The facilities require the Company to maintain coverage ratios and leverage ratios consistent with the revolving credit facility discussed above. The facilities include a provision for determining a LIBOR successor rate in the event LIBOR reference rates are no longer available, which is expected to occur by the end of 2021.These facilities are expected to expire on or around the time that LIBOR is expected to be replaced by a successor rate. The Company had $1 billion of borrowings outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2020.
Commercial paper outstanding decreased from $748 million at March 31, 2019 to $193 million at March 31, 2020. The year-over-year decrease in commercial paper outstanding reflects the Company’s use of the term loan facilities to fund its liquidity needs in the first quarter of 2020, rather than commercial paper.
In April 2020, the Company entered into a new $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility has similar coverage and leverage ratios as the facility discussed above. As of the date of this report, the Company had no borrowings under this facility.
In March 2019, the Company closed on $300 million one-year and $300 million three-year term loan facilities. The interest rate on these facilities was based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin, which varies with the Company's credit ratings. The Company terminated these facilities during 2019.
On September 18, 2018, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement to finance the proposed JLT transaction. The Company paid approximately $35 million of customary upfront fees related to the bridge loan at the inception of the loan commitment. The bridge loan agreement was terminated on April 1, 2019.
Debt
The Company has established a short-term debt financing program of up to $1.5 billion through the issuance of commercial paper. The proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are used for general corporate purposes. The Company had $193 million of commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2020 at an effective interest rate of 3.04%.

45



In January 2019, the Company issued $5 billion aggregate amount of Senior Notes consisting of $700 million of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2020, $1 billion of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2024, $1.25 billion of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2039, $1.25 billion of 4.90% Senior Notes due 2049 and $300 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021.
In March 2019, the Company issued €550 million of 1.349% Senior Notes due 2026 and €550 million of 1.979% Senior Notes due 2030. In addition, the Company issued an additional $250 million of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, in March 2019. These notes constitute a further issuance of the 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, of which $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount was issued in January 2019 (see above). After giving effect to the issuance of the notes, the Company has $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029. The Company used part of the net proceeds from these offerings, along with the $5 billion of Senior Notes issued in January 2019 (discussed above) to primarily fund the acquisition of JLT, including the payment of related fees and expenses, and to repay certain JLT indebtedness, as well as for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the closing of the JLT Transaction, the Company assumed approximately $1 billion of historical JLT indebtedness. In April and June of 2019, the Company repaid approximately $450 million and $553 million, respectively, representing all of JLT's debt it acquired upon the acquisition of JLT. The Company incurred debt extinguishment costs of $32 million in regard to the repayment of this debt.
In March 2020, the Company repaid $500 million of maturing senior notes.
The Company's senior debt is currently rated A- by Standard & Poor's and Baa1 by Moody's. The Company's short-term debt is currently rated P-2 by Moody's and A-2 by Standard & Poor's. The Company carries a negative outlook from Moody's and Standard & Poor's.
Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of the Company's common stock during the three month periods ending March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The Company does not expect to repurchase shares for the remainder of 2020. In November 2019, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s share repurchase program, which supersedes any prior authorization, allowing management to buy back up to $2.5 billion of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2020, the Company remained authorized to purchase shares of its common stock up to a value of approximately $2.4 billion. There is no time limit on this authorization.
Contingent Payments Related to Acquisitions
During the first three months of 2020, the Company paid $13 million of contingent payments related to acquisitions made in prior periods. These payments are split between financing and operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Payments of $4 million related to the contingent consideration liability that was recorded on the date of acquisition are reflected as financing cash flows. Payments related to increases in the contingent consideration liability subsequent to the date of acquisition of $9 million are reflected as operating cash flows. Remaining estimated future contingent consideration payments of $239 million for acquisitions completed in the first three months of 2020 and in prior years are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020.
The Company paid deferred purchase consideration related to prior years' acquisitions of $25 million in the first three months of 2020. Remaining deferred cash payments of approximately $216 million for acquisitions completed in the first three months of 2020 and in prior years are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020.
In the first three months of 2019, the Company paid $35 million of contingent payments related to acquisitions made in prior periods. Of this amount, $6 million was reported as financing cash flows and $29 million as operating cash flows.
Dividends
The Company paid dividends on its common shares of $232 million ($0.455 per share) during the first three months of 2020, as compared with $210 million ($0.415 per share) during the first three months of 2019.
Derivatives
Foreign Exchange Forward Contract
In connection with the JLT Transaction, to hedge the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price relative to the U.S. dollar, on September 20, 2018, the Company entered into the FX Contract to, solely upon consummation of the Transaction, purchase £5.2 billion and sell a corresponding amount of U.S. dollars at a contracted exchange rate. The FX Contract, which did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under applicable

46



accounting guidance, is discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $42 million gain related to the change in fair value of this derivative contract. The Company settled the FX Contract on April 1, 2019.
Foreign Exchange Contract on Euro Debt Issuance
In March 2019, the Company issued €1.1 billion of senior notes related to the JLT Transaction. See Note 14 for additional information related to the Euro senior note issuances. In connection with the senior note issuances of €1.1 billion, the Company entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the economic risk of changes in foreign exchange rates from the issuance date to settlement date of the Euro senior notes. Upon settlement of this contract, the Company recorded a charge of $7 million in the consolidated statement of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.
Treasury Locks on Senior Notes
In connection with the JLT Transaction, to hedge the risk of increases in future interest rates prior to its issuance of senior notes, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into treasury locks related to $2 billion of the expected debt. The fair value at December 31, 2018 was based on the published treasury rate plus forward premium as of December 31, 2018 compared to the all in rate at the inception of the contract. The contracts were not designated as an accounting hedge. The Company recorded an unrealized loss of $116 million related to the change in the fair value of these derivatives in the consolidated statement of income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2018. In January 2019, upon issuance of the $5 billion of senior notes, the Company settled the treasury lock derivatives and made a payment to its counter party for $122 million. Upon settlement, an additional charge of $6 million was recorded in the consolidated statement of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company has investments in various subsidiaries with Euro functional currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations between the Euro and U.S. dollar exchange rates. As part of its risk management program to fund the JLT acquisition, the Company issued €1.1 billion senior notes, as discussed above, and designated the debt instruments as a net investment hedge of its Euro denominated subsidiaries. The hedge is re-assessed each quarter to confirm that the designated equity balance at the beginning of each period continues to equal or exceed 80% of the outstanding balance of the Euro debt instrument and that all the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged net investment continue to match. If the Company concludes that the hedge is highly effective, the change in the debt balance related to foreign exchange fluctuations will be recorded in foreign currency translation gains (losses) in the consolidated balance sheet. The U.S. dollar value of the Euro notes decreased by $8 million during the first three months of 2020 related to the change in foreign exchange rates. Since the Company concluded that the hedge was highly effective, it recorded an increase to foreign currency translation gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $245 million in the first three months of 2020, compared with $187 million used during the same period in 2019.
As previously noted, the JLT Transaction closed on April 1, 2019. Funds for the purchase of outstanding shares were distributed on April 11, 2019.
The Company paid $200 million and $140 million, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions it made during the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In February 2020, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Alexander Forbes ("AF"), a South African company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (representing approximately 4% of AF) to an independent third party. At March 31, 2020, the Company owns approximately 31% of the common stock of AF. The Company expects to complete the sale of an additional 15% of AF shares during the second quarter of 2020. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will no longer account for this investment under the equity method, and will record the change in fair value in each subsequent period as an investment gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company disposed of its investment in Benefitfocus for total proceeds of approximately $132 million. The Company received $115 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $17 million in the second quarter of 2019 as final settlement on the sale.
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company disposed of its investment in Payscale and received proceeds of approximately $47 million.

47



In January 2019, Marsh increased its equity ownership in Marsh India from 26% to 49% for approximately $88 million. Marsh India is carried under the equity method.
The Company used cash of $118 million to purchase fixed assets and capitalized software in the first three months of 2020, compared with $73 million in the first three months of 2019, primarily related to computer equipment and software purchases, software development costs and the refurbishing and modernizing of office facilities.
The Company has commitments for potential future investments of approximately $57 million in four private equity funds that invest primarily in financial services companies.

The above does not include unrecognized tax benefits of $82 million, accounted for under ASC Topic No. 740, as the Company is unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement of these liabilities, other than approximately $6 million that may become payable within one year.
The above does not include the provisional estimate of remaining transitional tax payments related to the Tax Cuts and Job Act ("the TCJA") of $69 million.
Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s discussion of critical accounting policies that place the most significant demands on management’s judgment and requires management to make significant estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain are discussed in the MD&A in the 2019 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Guidance
Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in this report contains a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance and their impact or potential future impact on the Company’s financial results, if determinable.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of JLT. JLT results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are included in the Company’s results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. JLT results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2019 are not included in the Company's first quarter 2019 results of operations. Prior to being acquired by the Company, JLT operated in three segments, Specialty, Reinsurance and Employee Benefits. As of April 1, 2019, the historical JLT businesses were combined into MMC operations as follows: JLT Specialty is included by geography within Marsh, JLT Reinsurance is included within Guy Carpenter and the majority of the JLT Employee Benefits business is included in Mercer Health and Wealth.
The JLT Transaction had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations in 2020. The Company believes that in addition to the change in reported GAAP revenue, a comparison of 2020 GAAP reported revenue to the combined 2019 revenue of MMC and JLT, as if the companies were combined on January 1, 2019, provides investors with meaningful information as to the Company’s year-over-year underlying operating results. Investors

48



should not consider the comparison of these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports in accordance with GAAP.
The 2019 Including JLT revenue information set forth in the table below presents revenue information as if the companies were combined on January 1, 2019 and is not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had we operated the business since January 1, 2019.
The MMC revenue amounts are as previously reported by the Company in its quarterly filings on Form 10-Q for the applicable periods. JLT 2019 revenue information is derived using the same policies and adjustments as the "JLT Supplemental Information - Revenue Analysis" furnished to the SEC on June 6, 2019 on Form 8-K, which is not incorporated by reference in this Form10-Q, and includes the revenue from JLT’s aerospace business.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk and Credit Risk
Certain of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and equity markets.
The Company had the following investments subject to variable interest rates:
(In millions)
March 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents invested in money market funds, certificates of deposit and time deposits
$
1,480

Fiduciary cash and investments
$
7,661

Based on the above balances, if short-term interest rates increased or decreased by 10%, or 11 basis points, for the remainder of the year, annual interest income, including interest earned on fiduciary funds, would increase or decrease by approximately $5 million.
Changes in interest rates can also affect the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets, two of the assumptions among several others used to measure net periodic pension expense. The assumptions used to measure plan assets and liabilities are typically assessed at the end of each year, and determine the expense for the subsequent year. Assumptions used to determine net periodic expense for 2020 are discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion on pension expense sensitivity to changes in these rates, see the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies-Retirement Benefits" section of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition to interest rate risk, our cash investments and fiduciary fund investments are subject to potential loss of value due to counter-party credit risk. To minimize this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries invest pursuant to a Board approved investment policy. The policy mandates the preservation of principal and liquidity and requires broad diversification with counter-party limits assigned based primarily on credit rating and type of investment. The Company carefully monitors its cash and fiduciary fund investments and will further restrict the portfolio as appropriate to market conditions. The majority of cash and fiduciary fund investments are invested in short-term bank deposits and liquid money market funds.
Foreign Currency Risk
The translated values of revenue and expense from the Company’s international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. The non-U.S. based revenue that is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations is approximately 54% of total revenue. We periodically use forward contracts and options to limit foreign currency exchange rate exposure on net income and cash flows for specific, clearly defined transactions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company has significant revenue generated in foreign locations which is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, in most cases both the foreign currency revenue and expenses are in the functional currency of the foreign location. As such, under normal circumstances, the U.S. dollar translation of both the revenues and expenses, as well as the potentially offsetting movements of various currencies against the U.S. dollar, generally tends to mitigate the impact on net operating income of foreign currency risk. However, there have been periods where the impact was not mitigated due to external market factors, and external macroeconomic events, such as the impact of "Brexit" in the United Kingdom, may result in greater foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the future. If foreign exchange rates of major currencies (Euro, Sterling, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar) moved 10% in the same direction against the U.S. dollar that held constant over the course of the year the Company estimates that full year net operating income would increase or decrease by approximately $39 million. The Company has exposure to approximately 85 foreign currencies overall. If exchange rates at March 31, 2020 hold constant for the rest of 2020, the Company estimates the year-over-year impact from conversion of foreign currency earnings will decrease full year net operating income by approximately $35 million.
In Continental Europe, the largest amount of revenue from renewals for the Risk and Insurance Services segment occurs in the first quarter.
Equity Price Risk
The Company holds investments in both public and private companies as well as private equity funds, including investments of approximately $18 million that are valued using readily determinable fair values and approximately $32 million of investments without readily determinable fair values. The Company also has investments of

50



approximately $371 million that are accounted for using the equity method. The investments are subject to risk of decline in market value, which, if determined to be other than temporary for assets without readily determinable fair values, could result in realized impairment losses. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements.
The Company owns approximately 31% of the common stock of Alexander Forbes, a South African company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, which it purchased in 2014 for 7.50 South African Rand per share. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Alexander Forbes was approximately $105 million. As of March 31, 2020, the market value of the approximately 394 million shares of Alexander Forbes owned by the Company, based on the March 31, 2020 closing share price of 4.28 South African Rand per share, was approximately $94 million. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the sale of a portion the Company's investment in AF.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors.
The Company and its subsidiaries face a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the other information in this report and our other filings with the SEC, readers should consider carefully the risk factors discussed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. If any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or such other risks actually occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Except as otherwise described below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.
We have added the risk factor "The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial position."
The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had a dramatic impact on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has materially increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity.

The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to decreased levels of business activity of our clients and the industries and markets that we serve. Governments around the globe have taken steps to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of the virus, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.

The outbreak has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our clients, third-party vendors and business partners. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including transitioning substantially all of our colleagues to a remote work environment, restricting colleague travel, developing social distancing plans for our colleagues and cancelling physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our colleagues, clients and business partners. There is no certainty how long such policies will remain in effect or that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or will otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.

The coronavirus will affect our ability to generate new business, our overall level of profitability and cash flow, and our liquidity due to a number of macroeconomic and operational factors. Such factors may include:

in our Risk and Insurance Services segment, a reduction in pricing and commission for specific lines of coverage most directly affected by the pandemic;

in our Consulting segment, a reduction of demand for our services as clients cut back on expenses, as well as the impact on our business model for delivering services to clients due to restrictions on travel and movement, and guidance around social distancing;

the timeliness and ultimate collectability of our receivables, including as a result of deferrals of premium payments directed by government authorities, which affects our ability to generate sufficient cash flows;


52



the impact of disruption in the credit or financial markets, or changes to our credit ratings, which may impact our ability to access capital or repay our significant outstanding indebtedness on favorable terms and our compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness;

an increase in errors & omissions claims related to pandemic coverage;

the impact of financial market volatility, including our ability to execute timely trades in light of increased trading volume, which may reduce assets under management and revenue for Mercer’s Investments business;

failure of third parties upon which we rely to meet their obligations to us, or significant disruptions in their ability to meet those obligations in a timely manner, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties;

the impact of an extended period of remote work arrangements on our business continuity plans, and our ability to continue to provide services to our clients;

increased risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks or unauthorized dissemination of personal, confidential, proprietary or sensitive data caused by remote work arrangements; and

the potential effects on our internal controls including those over financial reporting as a result of changes in working environments such as shelter-in-place and similar orders that are applicable to our team members and business partners.

These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Exhibit 10.2

    
January 16, 2019

Martine Ferland
1166 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036

Subject:    Terms of Employment

Dear Martine:

This letter agreement is intended to set forth the terms of your continued employment by Mercer Consulting Group, Inc. (“Mercer”) as its President and Chief Executive Officer. This position currently reports to the President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Chief Executive Officer”) of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”, and together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”). Your current principal work location is in New York, NY. The terms of this letter agreement are effective as of March 1, 2019.

1.
Duties and Responsibilities

You will continue to devote all of your attention and time during working hours to the affairs and business of Mercer and the Company and use your best efforts to perform such duties and responsibilities as shall be reasonably assigned to you by the Chief Executive Officer and are consistent with your position. In addition, you agree to serve, without additional compensation, as an officer and director for any member of the Affiliated Group. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Affiliated Group” means Marsh & McLennan Companies and any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, or other entity in which Marsh & McLennan Companies has a 10% or greater direct or indirect interest. Except for those boards or committees set forth on Exhibit A, if any, you may not serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees without the prior written consent of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
  
2.    Compensation and Benefits

Your compensation and benefits are as set forth below and in Exhibit A.

a.
Annual Base Salary: You will receive an annual base salary of the amount set forth on Exhibit A, payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures in effect from time to time.

b.
Vacation: You are entitled to 5 weeks of vacation annually, in accordance with our Company policy.

c.
Annual Bonus: You are eligible for an annual bonus on the terms set forth on Exhibit A. Bonus awards are discretionary and may be paid in the form of cash, deferred cash or Marsh & McLennan Companies stock units, or a combination thereof. Except as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(a), to qualify for an annual bonus, you must remain continuously and actively employed by the Company, without having tendered a notice of resignation, through the date of the bonus payment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award. The annual bonus shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year for which such bonus is earned. In the event of your Permanent Disability (as defined below) or death, the Company shall pay you (or your estate in the case of death) a prorated target annual bonus for the year in which your termination occurs based on the portion of the year elapsed as of the date of your termination. Any such bonus amount shall be paid within 30 days of your death. In the event of your Permanent Disability, your prorated annual bonus payment is conditioned upon, and subject to, your execution and delivery to the Company within 30 days of the date of such event a valid confidential waiver and release of claims agreement (including restrictive covenants) in a form satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) and such Release has become irrevocable as provided therein (the “Release Effective Date”). Payment of any such annual bonus amount shall then be paid within 30 days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year for which such bonus is earned.

As used in this letter agreement, “Permanent Disability” will be deemed to occur when it is determined (by Marsh & McLennan Companies’ disability carrier for the primary long-term disability plan or program applicable to you because of your employment with the Company) that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

d.
Annual Long-Term Incentive Compensation: You are eligible to participate in Marsh & McLennan Companies’ long-term incentive program with a target long-term incentive compensation award as set forth on Exhibit A. Long-term incentive awards are discretionary and are governed by terms and conditions approved by the Compensation Committee of the Marsh & McLennan Companies Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) as set forth in the award agreement and in Marsh & McLennan Companies’ 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (or other plan under which the long-term incentive award is granted). In accordance with Company practice, you may be required to enter into a “Restrictive Covenants Agreement” in connection with long-term incentive awards.

e.
Deferred Stock Unit Award: On March 1, 2019, you will be granted an award of deferred stock units (“DSU") as set forth on Exhibit A. Your award will be converted from the dollar value of the grant into DSUs based upon the average of the high and low sales prices of a share of Marsh & McLennan Companies common stock on the New York Stock Exchange one trading day prior to the effective date of the grant. The DSUs will vest on 15th of the month in which the third anniversary of the grant date occurs, subject to your continued employment, and will be subject to standard terms and conditions approved by the



January 16, 2019
Martine Ferland
Page 3


Compensation Committee as set forth in the award agreement and in Marsh & McLennan Companies’ 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (or any successor plan under which the award is granted). You will receive additional information regarding these DSUs, including the terms and conditions of the award, shortly after the award is granted.

f.
Benefit Programs: You and your eligible family members will continue to have the opportunity to participate in the employee benefit plans, policies and programs provided by Marsh & McLennan Companies, on such terms and conditions as are generally provided to similarly situated employees of Mercer and the Company. These plans may include retirement, savings, medical, life, disability, and other insurance programs as well as an array of work/life effectiveness policies and programs. Please be aware that nothing in this letter agreement shall limit Marsh & McLennan Companies’ ability to change, modify, cancel or amend any such policies or plans. In addition, you will be entitled to the benefits set forth on Exhibit A and you will continue to be eligible to participate in the Marsh & McLennan Companies Executive Financial Services Program, as in effect from time to time.

3.    Termination of Employment

a.
You have been designated as a “Key Employee” under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (the “Senior Executive Severance Plan”). In the event that your employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Senior Executive Severance Plan in effect at the time of your termination will exclusively govern the terms under which you may be eligible to receive severance and/or other transition benefits from the Company. In the event that you are entitled to receive severance benefits under Article 5 of the Senior Executive Severance Plan, the Company shall also pay you the earned annual bonus, if any, for the calendar year that preceded your termination to the extent not theretofore paid.

b.
Upon the termination of your employment for any reason, you shall immediately resign, as of your date of termination, from all positions that you then hold with any member of the Affiliated Group. You hereby agree to execute any and all documentation to effectuate such resignations upon request by the Company, but you shall be treated for all purposes as having so resigned upon your date of termination, regardless of when or whether you execute any such documentation.

c.
During the term of this letter agreement, and, subject to any other business obligations that you may have, following your date of termination, you agree to assist the Affiliated Group in the investigation and/or defense of any claims or potential claims that may be made or threatened to be made against any member of the Affiliated Group, including any of their officers or directors (a “Proceeding”), and will assist the Affiliated Group in connection with any claims that may be made by any member of the Affiliated Group in any Proceeding. You agree, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform Marsh & McLennan Companies if you are asked to participate in any Proceeding or to assist in any investigation of any member of the Affiliated Group. In addition, you agree to provide such services as are reasonably requested by the Company to assist any successor to you in the transition of duties and responsibilities to such successor.

You will receive additional information concerning these stock ownership guidelines separately. The stock ownership guidelines can be found on the

This letter agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by you and an authorized employee of Marsh & McLennan Companies.

f.

g.
Severability; Captions.

The captions in this letter agreement are not part of the provisions of this letter agreement and will have no force or effect.

h.
Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 8(h) will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid the imposition of taxes, interest and penalties on you under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”). Section 409A applies to nonqualified deferred compensation which exists if an individual has a “legally binding right” to compensation that is or may be payable in a later year. In furtherance of the objective of this Section 8(h), to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Section 409A would result in your being subject to payment of taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A, you and the Company agree to use our best efforts to amend this letter agreement and any other plan, award, arrangement or agreement between you and the Company in order to avoid or limit the imposition of any such taxes, interest or penalties, while maintaining to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions. This Section 8(h) does not guarantee that you will not be subject to taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A with respect to compensation or benefits described or referenced in this letter agreement or any other plan, award, arrangement or agreement between you and the Company.

Furthermore, and notwithstanding any contrary provision in this letter agreement or any other plan, award, arrangement or agreement between you and the Company, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes, interest and penalties on you under Section 409A, if at the time of the termination of your employment you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), you will not be entitled to any payments upon termination of employment until the first day of the seventh month after the termination of employment and any such payments to which you would otherwise be entitled during the first six months



January 16, 2019
Martine Ferland
Page 7


following your termination of employment will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after the termination of employment.

Furthermore, and notwithstanding any contrary provision in this letter agreement or in any other plan, award, arrangement or agreement between you and the Company that: (i) provides for the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A; and (ii) conditions payment or commencement of payment on one or more employment-related actions, such as the execution and effectiveness of a release of claims or a restrictive covenant (each an “Employment-Related Action”) (any such plan, award, arrangement or agreement is a “Relevant Plan”):

(1) if the Relevant Plan does not specify a period or provides for a period of more than 90 days for the completion of an Employment-Related Action, then the period for completion of the Employment-Related Action will be the period specified by the Company, which shall be no longer than 90 days following the event otherwise triggering the right to payment; and

(2) if the period for the completion of an Employment-Related Action includes the January 1 next following the event otherwise triggering the right to payment, then the payment shall be made or commence following the completion of the Employment-Related Action, but in no event earlier than that January 1.

i.
Withholding Requirements. All amounts paid or provided to you under this letter agreement shall be subject to any applicable income, payroll or other tax withholding requirements.

Please acknowledge your agreement with the terms of this letter agreement by signing and dating this and the enclosed copies of the letter agreement and Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement and returning one copy of each to me.

Sincerely,


/s/ Daniel S. Glaser

Exhibit 10.3

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, dated as of January 16, 2019, between Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (”MMC”) and Martine Ferland, an employee of the Company (“Executive”). The terms of this Agreement are effective as of March 1, 2019.

R E C I T A L S:

This Agreement is entered into in consideration of the Executive’s employment by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer of Mercer, the Company’s execution of the November 21, 2013 Agreement regarding her terms of employment, Executive’s eligibility for a discretionary bonus and other compensation as an employee of the Company, and Executive’s access to confidential information and trade secrets belonging to the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” means MMC and/or any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, or other entity in which MMC has a 10% or greater direct or indirect interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive hereby agree to be bound by this Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, as follows:

1.Confidential Information and Trade Secrets
(a)Executive understands and acknowledges that as a senior executive and member of MMC’s Executive Committee, Executive will learn or have access to, or may assist in the development of, highly confidential and sensitive information and trade secrets about the Company, its operations and its clients, and that providing its clients with appropriate assurances that their confidences will be protected is crucial to the Company’s ability to obtain clients, maintain good client relations, and conform to contractual obligations. Such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets include but are not limited to: (i) financial and business information relating to the Company, such as information with respect to costs, commissions, fees, profits, sales, markets, mailing lists, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, potential acquisitions or divestitures, and new marketing ideas; (ii) product and technical information relating to the Company, such as product concepts and structures, new and innovative product ideas, methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software, software codes, computer models, and research and development projects; (iii) client information, such as the identity of the Company’s clients, the names of representatives of the Company’s clients responsible for entering into contracts with the Company, the amounts paid by such clients to the Company, specific client needs and requirements, specific client characteristics related to the provision of services by the Company, client consulting needs and information about the consulting services provided or planned by the Company to serve such clients, client insurance policy information, information regarding the markets or sources with which insurance is placed, and leads and referrals to prospective clients; (iv) personnel information, such as the identity and number of the Company’s other employees and officers, their salaries, bonuses, benefits, skills, qualifications, and abilities; (v) any and all information in whatever form relating to any client or prospective client of the Company, including but not limited to, its business, employees, operations, systems, assets, liabilities, finances, products, and marketing, selling and operating practices; (vi) any information not included in (i) or (ii) above which Executive knows or should know is subject to a restriction on disclosure or which Executive knows or should know is considered by the Company's clients or prospective clients to be confidential, sensitive, proprietary or a trade secret or is not readily available to the public; or (vii) intellectual property, including inventions and copyrightable works. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets have actual or potential value



Page 2

because they are not generally known or available to the general public, but have been developed, compiled or acquired by the Company at its effort and expense and through the use of the Company’s resources. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets can be in any form, including but not limited to: oral, written or machine readable, including electronic files.
(b)Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is engaged in highly competitive businesses and that its competitive position depends upon its ability to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets which were developed, compiled and acquired by the Company at its effort and expense and through the use of the Company’s resources. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any disclosing, divulging, revealing, or using of any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, other than in connection with the Company’s business or as specifically authorized by the Company, will be highly detrimental to the Company and cause it to suffer serious loss of business and pecuniary damage and loss of goodwill.
(c)At all times prior to and following Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company, which for the purposes of this Agreement, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of any client, prospective client or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which Executive acquires during Executive’s employment with the Company, including but not limited to records kept in the ordinary course of business except: (i) as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with Executive’s work as an employee of the Company or any affiliate; (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information (but only to the extent required by such requirement or order); or (iii) as to such confidential information that becomes generally known to the public or trade without the violation of this Agreement by Executive or by others under a duty of confidentiality to the Company.
(d)Immediately upon the termination of employment with the Company for any reason or no reason, or at any time the Company so requests, Executive will return to the Company: (i) any originals and all copies of all files, notes, documents, slides (including transparencies), computer disks, hard drives, printouts, reports, lists of the Company’s clients or leads or referrals to prospective clients, and other media or property in Executive’s possession or control which contain or pertain to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and will cooperate with the Company in arranging to remove any electronic copies of such information from personal digital storage devices which Executive uses; and (ii) all property of the Company, including but not limited to supplies, keys, access devices, books, identification cards, computers, telephones and other equipment. Executive agrees that upon completion of the obligations set forth in this subparagraph and if requested by the Company, Executive will execute a statement in a form provided by the Company declaring that she has retained no property of the Company or materials containing Confidential Information and Trade Secrets nor has she supplied the same to any person, except as required to carry out her duties as an employee of the Company.

2.Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property; Ownership of Copyrightable Works
(a)Executive agrees to assign and hereby does assign to the Company all Executive’s present and future right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property conceived, discovered, reduced to practice and/or made by Executive during the period of time that Executive is employed by the Company (whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement), whether such intellectual property was conceived, discovered and/or reduced to practice and/or made by Executive solely or jointly with others, on or off the premises of the Company’s business, or during or after working hours, if such intellectual property: (i) was conceived, discovered, reduced to practice and/or made with the Company’s facilities, equipment, supplies, confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property; or (ii) relates to the Company’s current, or demonstrably anticipated or potential business activities, work or research; or (iii) results from work done or to be done by Executive or under Executive’s direction, alone or jointly, for the Company (“Intellectual Property”). Executive further acknowledges and agrees that such Intellectual Property as referred to herein belongs to the Company and that the Company may, in its sole discretion, keep such Intellectual Property and/or processes pertaining thereto, whether patentable or copyrightable or not, as trade secrets and make all decisions regarding whether and how to use such Intellectual Property and/or processes. Executive further agrees not to use or seek any commercial exploitation of or otherwise use any Intellectual Property transferred to the Company or required to be assigned under this Agreement for personal use.
(b)Executive acknowledges, agrees and intends that all copyrightable works Executive creates during the period of time that Executive is employed by the Company (whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement) and within the scope of Executive’s employment shall be considered to be “works made for hire” as defined under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (“Copyrightable Works”). Executive also acknowledges, agrees and intends that the Company will be deemed the author of all such works made for hire and the owner of all of the rights comprised in the copyright of such works. To the extent that any Copyrightable Works Executive creates within the scope of Executive’s employment or using the resources of the Company do not fully qualify as works made for hire, Executive agrees to assign and hereby does assign all such Copyrightable Works to the Company, including the right to sue for past, present, or future infringement.
(c)Executive agrees to: (i) promptly disclose such Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works to the Company; (ii) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, the entire rights to Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works for the United States and all foreign countries; (iii) execute all documents, certifications, and all other papers and do all acts necessary to carry out the above, including enabling the Company to file and prosecute applications for, acquire, ascertain and enforce in all countries, letters patent, trademark registrations and/or copyrights covering or otherwise relating to Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works and to enable the Company to protect its proprietary interests therein; and (iv) give testimony in any action or proceeding to enforce rights in the Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works.
(d)In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this Section 2, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. Executive hereby assigns to the Company any and all claims, of any



Page 4

nature whatsoever, which Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any proprietary rights assigned or transferred hereunder to the Company.
(e)Executive understands and agrees: (i) no license or conveyance of any rights or warranty to Executive is granted or implied by the Company furnishing or disclosing any Intellectual Property or Copyrightable Works to Executive; and (ii) the Company shall retain whatever ownership and other proprietary rights it otherwise has in all Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works.
3.Non-Competition
(a)Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is engaged in highly competitive businesses and that by virtue of Executive’s position and responsibilities with the Company and Executive’s access to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, engaging in any business which is directly competitive with the Company will cause it great and irreparable harm.
(b)Accordingly, both during Executive’s employment with the Company and during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, directly or indirectly engage in any activity - whether as an employee, consultant, principal, member, agent, officer, director, partner or shareholder (except as a less than 1% shareholder of a publicly traded company) - that is competitive with any business of the Company and that is conducted by the Company as of the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company’s “business” means the provision of services and/or products of the type provided by the Company including but not limited to risk management, risk consulting, insurance broking, alternative risk financing, and insurance program management services; reinsurance broking and consulting, and risk assessment analytics; talent, health, benefits, retirement and investment consulting and services; and management and economic consulting. In recognition of the international nature of the Company’s business, which includes the sale of its products and services globally, this restriction shall apply in all countries throughout the world where the Company does business as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. This provision will not prohibit the Executive from being employed by an insurance or reinsurance carrier that is not engaged in activity that is competitive with any business of the Company.
4.Non-Solicitation/Non-Servicing of Clients
(a)Executive acknowledges and agrees that solely by reason of employment by the Company, Executive has and will come into contact with and develop and maintain relationships with a significant number of the Company’s clients and prospective clients and has and will have access to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets relating thereto, including those regarding the Company’s clients, prospective clients and related information.
(b)Consequently, during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit clients or prospective clients of the Company for the purpose of selling or providing products or services of the type sold or provided by Executive while employed by the Company; (ii) induce clients or prospective clients of the Company to terminate, cancel, not renew, or not place business with the Company; (iii) perform or supervise the performance of services or provision of products of the type sold or provided by Executive while she was employed by the Company on behalf of any clients or prospective clients of the Company;



Page 5

or (iv) assist others to do the acts specified in Sections 4(b) (i)-(iii). This restriction shall apply only to those clients or prospective clients of the Company with whom Executive had contact or about whom Executive obtained Confidential Information and Trade Secrets during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with the Company. For the purposes of this Section 4, the term “contact” means interaction between Executive and the client which takes place to further the business relationship, or making (or assisting or supervising the performance or provision of) sales to or performing or providing (or assisting or supervising the performance or provision of) services or products for the client on behalf of the Company. For purposes of this Section 4, the term “contact” with respect to a “prospective” client means interaction between Executive and a potential client of the Company which takes place to obtain the business of the potential client on behalf of the Company. It shall not be a defense to a claim that this Section has been breached that Executive’s new employer or entity for which Executive is performing services has previously solicited or served the client.
5.Non-Solicitation of Employees
Executive acknowledges and agrees that solely as a result of employment with the Company, and in light of the broad responsibilities of such employment, which include working with other employees of the Company, Executive has and will come into contact with and acquire Confidential Information and Trade Secrets regarding the Company’s other employees. Accordingly, during Executive’s employment with the Company and during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with the Company or any affiliate, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, either on Executive’s own account or on behalf of any person, company, corporation, or other entity, directly or indirectly, solicit, or endeavor to cause any employee of the Company with whom Executive, during the last two (2) years of her employment with the Company, came into contact for the purpose of soliciting or servicing business or about whom Executive obtained Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, to leave employment with the Company.
6.Enforcement
(a)Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, business and goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries. Executive further represents that her experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this Agreement will not prevent her from earning a livelihood or cause undue hardship and that the covenants contained in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are reasonable in view of the benefits and consideration Executive has received or will receive from the Company.
(b)In recognition of the fact that irreparable harm will result to the Company in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach of Section 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of this Agreement by Executive, or Executive’s claim in a declaratory judgment action that all or part of this Agreement is unenforceable, and that money damages may not provide adequate relief, the parties agree that the Company shall be entitled to the following particular forms of relief as a result of such breach, in addition to any remedies otherwise available to it at law or equity: (a) injunctions, both preliminary and permanent, enjoining or restraining such breach or anticipatory breach, and other equitable relief, and Executive hereby consents to the issuance thereof forthwith and without bond by any court of competent jurisdiction; and (b) recovery of all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, expenses and costs incurred by the Company to defend or enforce the provisions of this Agreement.



Page 6

(c)In the event the Company is required to enforce any of its rights contained in Section 4 through legal proceedings, the parties acknowledge that it may be difficult or impossible to ascertain the precise amount of damages or lost profits incurred by the Company. Therefore, in the event of any breach by Executive of Section 4 of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief available to the Company at law or in equity, Executive agrees that the damages for each client lost in whole or in part by the Company as a result of Executive’s breach shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the gross commissions and fees received by the Company from such client during the twelve (12) months preceding the cessation of Executive’s employment. In arriving at this calculation, Executive agrees that the Company and Executive have considered the following factors: (i) the value of the clients; (ii) the business of the Company; (iii) the type and quality of the clients; (iv) the substantial amount of time, effort and expense incurred by the Company in acquiring, developing and maintaining the clients; (v) the number of years the Company typically retains such clients; (vi) the profitability of renewal business; and (vii) various other factors relating to the relationship between the Company and the clients. Executive further agrees that Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs, expenses and counsel fees incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
(d)The restrictive periods set forth in this Agreement (including those set forth in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof) shall not expire and shall be tolled during any period in which Executive is in violation of such restrictive periods, and therefore such restrictive periods shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of any violations thereof by Executive.
7.Employment At-Will
Executive understands that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment and does not promise or imply that her employment will continue for any period of time. Unless otherwise agreed to under any employment agreement between Executive and the Company whether executed prior to this Agreement or at any time hereafter, employment with the Company is “at will” and may be terminated either by Executive or the Company at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
8.Miscellaneous
(a)Governing Law; Choice of Forum. The parties acknowledge that MMC and its operating companies are headquartered in New York, that senior members of the leadership team of the Company are based in New York, and that breach of this Agreement will cause injury in New York. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The parties, being desirous of having any disputes resolved in a forum having a substantial body of law and experience with the matters contained herein, agree that any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and Executive’s employment shall be brought exclusively in the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County, or in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the parties agree to the jurisdiction thereof. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any objection they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action in the said court(s), and further irrevocably waive any claim they may now or hereafter have that any such action brought in said court(s) has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Executive recognizes that, should any dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for adjudication to any court, arbitration panel or other third party, the preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets may be jeopardized. Consequently, Executive agrees that all issues of fact shall be severed for trial without a jury.



Page 7

(b)Severability. The parties agree they have attempted to limit the scope of the post-employment restrictions contained herein to the extent necessary to protect Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, client relationships and goodwill. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws and public policies. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such invalid portion, and reformed to the extent valid and enforceable. Such deletion and reformation shall apply only with respect to the operation of this Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
(c)Modification; Agreement to Enter into Additional Agreements. No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in a written or electronic instrument signed by both parties hereto, wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement. Should Executive move to a different state or jurisdiction while employed by the Company or upon written request of the Company, Executive agrees to sign, without further consideration, upon direction by the Company, such further writings to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement as necessary to comply with applicable law. Executive’s failure to sign such additional agreements shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(d)Non-Waiver. The failure of either the Company or Executive, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of the same or any other right, power, or privilege in any other instance. Any waiver by the Company or by Executive must be in a written or electronic instrument signed by either Executive, if Executive is seeking to waive any of her rights under this Agreement, or by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, if the Company is seeking to waive any of its rights under this Agreement.
(e)Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators, and upon the Company, and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive. This Agreement may be enforced by the Company and its affiliates, successors and assigns.
(f)Other Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with respect to non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions, and supersedes and terminates any and all previous such agreements and understandings between Executive and the Company, whether written or oral, with respect to noncompetition or nonsolicitation restrictions. If the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions contained in this Agreement are ruled invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions contained in any and all previous agreements shall be revived. The obligations under this Agreement also shall survive any changes made in the future to the employment terms of Executive, including but not limited to changes in salary, benefits, bonus plans, job title and job responsibilities.

CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement is entered into between you (“Executive”) and Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”, and together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) in consideration: (a) of Executive’s employment by Marsh Services Limited (“Marsh”) pursuant to the letter agreement between Executive and Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., dated April 1, 2019 (the “Letter Agreement”), as Vice Chairman of Marsh & McLennan Companies; (b) Executive’s eligibility for a discretionary bonus and other compensation as Vice Chairman of Marsh & McLennan Companies; and (c) Executive’s access to confidential information and trade secrets belonging to the Company. The terms of this Agreement are effective as of April 1, 2019.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Letter Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive hereby agree to be bound by this Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, as follows:

Confidential Information and Trade Secrets
1.
Executive understands and acknowledges that as a senior executive of the Company and a member of Marsh & McLennan Companies’ Executive Committee, Executive will learn or have access to, or may assist in the development of, highly confidential and sensitive information and trade secrets about the Company, its operations and its clients, and that providing its clients with appropriate assurances that their confidences will be protected is crucial to the Company’s ability to obtain clients, maintain good client relations, and conform to contractual obligations. Such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets include but are not limited to: (i) financial and business information relating to the Company, such as information with respect to costs, commissions, fees, profits, sales, markets, mailing lists, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, potential acquisitions or divestitures, and new marketing ideas; (ii) product and technical information relating to the Company, such as product concepts and structures, new and innovative product ideas, methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software, software codes, computer models, and research and development projects; (iii) client information, such as the identity of the Company’s clients, the names of representatives of the Company’s clients responsible for entering into contracts with the Company, the amounts paid by such clients to the Company, specific client needs and requirements, specific client characteristics related to the provision of services by the Company, client consulting needs and information about the consulting services provided or planned by the Company to serve such clients, client insurance policy information, information regarding the markets or sources with which insurance is placed,

and leads and referrals to prospective clients; (iv) personnel information, such as the identity and number of the Company’s other employees and officers, their salaries, bonuses, benefits, skills, qualifications, and abilities; (v) any and all information in whatever form relating to any client or prospective client of the Company, including but not limited to, its business, employees, operations, systems, assets, liabilities, finances, products, and marketing, selling and operating practices; (vi) any information not included in (i) or (ii) above which Executive knows or should know is subject to a restriction on disclosure or which Executive knows or should know is considered by the Company's clients or prospective clients to be confidential, sensitive, proprietary or a trade secret or is not readily available to the public; or (vii) intellectual property, including inventions and copyrightable works. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets have actual or potential value because they are not generally known or available to the general public, but have been developed, compiled or acquired by the Company at its effort and expense and through the use of the Company’s resources. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets can be in any form, including but not limited to: oral, written or machine readable, including electronic files.
2.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is engaged in highly competitive businesses and that its competitive position depends upon its ability to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets which were developed, compiled and acquired by the Company at its effort and expense and through the use of the Company’s resources. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any disclosing, divulging, revealing, or using of any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, other than in connection with the Company’s business or as specifically authorized by the Company, will be highly detrimental to the Company and cause it to suffer serious loss of business and pecuniary damage and loss of goodwill.
3.
At all times prior to and following Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of any client, prospective client or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which Executive acquires during Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company, including but not limited to records kept in the ordinary course of business except: (i) as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with Executive’s work as an employee of Marsh or the Company; (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information (but only to the extent required by such requirement or order); or (iii) as to such confidential information that becomes generally known to the public or trade without violation of this Agreement by Executive or by others under a duty of confidentiality to the Company.
4.
Immediately upon the termination of employment with Marsh or the Company for any reason, or at any time the Company so requests, Executive will return to the Company: (i) any

originals and all copies of all files, notes, documents, slides (including transparencies), computer disks, hard drives, printouts, reports, lists of the Company’s clients or leads or referrals to prospective clients, and other media or property in Executive’s possession or control which contain or pertain to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and will cooperate with the Company in arranging to remove any electronic copies of such information from personal digital storage devices which Executive uses; and (ii) all property of the Company, including but not limited to supplies, keys, access devices, books, identification cards, computers, telephones and other equipment. Executive agrees that upon completion of the obligations set forth in this subparagraph and if requested by the Company, Executive will execute a statement in a form provided by the Company declaring that he has retained no property of the Company or materials containing Confidential Information and Trade Secrets nor has he supplied the same to any person, except as required to carry out his duties as an employee of Marsh or the Company.
Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property; Ownership of Copyrightable Works
5.
Executive agrees to assign and hereby does assign to the Company all Executive’s present and future right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property conceived, discovered, reduced to practice and/or made by Executive during the period of time that Executive is employed by the Marsh or Company (whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement), whether such intellectual property was conceived, discovered and/or reduced to practice and/or made by Executive solely or jointly with others, on or off the premises of the Company’s business, or during or after working hours, if such intellectual property: (i) was conceived, discovered, reduced to practice and/or made with the Company’s facilities, equipment, supplies, confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property; or (ii) relates to the Company’s current, or demonstrably anticipated or potential business activities, work or research; or (iii) results from work done or to be done by Executive or under Executive’s direction, alone or jointly, for the Company (“Intellectual Property”). Executive further acknowledges and agrees that such Intellectual Property as referred to herein belongs to the Company and that the Company may, in its sole discretion, keep such Intellectual Property and/or processes pertaining thereto, whether patentable or copyrightable or not, as trade secrets and make all decisions regarding whether and how to use such Intellectual Property and/or processes. Executive further agrees not to use or seek any commercial exploitation of or otherwise use any Intellectual Property transferred to the Company or required to be assigned under this Agreement for personal use.
6.
Executive acknowledges, agrees and intends that all copyrightable works Executive creates during the period of time that Executive is employed by Marsh or the Company (whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement) and within the scope of Executive’s employment shall be considered to be “works made for hire” as defined under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (or as defined under any UK act or legislation having such effect) (“Copyrightable Works”). Executive also acknowledges, agrees and intends that the Company will be deemed the author of all such works made for hire and the owner of all of the rights comprised in the copyright of such works. To the extent that




Dominic J. Burke
April 1, 2019
Page 4

any Copyrightable Works Executive creates within the scope of Executive’s employment or using the resources of the Company do not fully qualify as works made for hire, Executive agrees to assign and hereby does assign all such Copyrightable Works to the Company, including the right to sue for past, present, or future infringement.
7.
Executive agrees to: (i) promptly disclose such Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works to the Company; (ii) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, the entire rights to Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works for the United States and all foreign countries; (iii) execute all documents, certifications, and all other papers and do all acts necessary to carry out the above, including enabling the Company to file and prosecute applications for, acquire, ascertain and enforce in all countries, letters patent, trademark registrations and/or copyrights covering or otherwise relating to Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works and to enable the Company to protect its proprietary interests therein; and (iv) give testimony in any action or proceeding to enforce rights in the Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works. In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this Agreement, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. Executive hereby assigns to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any proprietary rights assigned or transferred hereunder to the Company.
8.
Executive understands and agrees: (i) no license or conveyance of any rights or warranty to Executive is granted or implied by the Company furnishing or disclosing any Intellectual Property or Copyrightable Works to Executive; and (ii) the Company shall retain whatever ownership and other proprietary rights it otherwise has in all Intellectual Property and Copyrightable Works.
Non-Competition
9.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is engaged in highly competitive businesses and that by virtue of Executive’s position and responsibilities with the Company and Executive’s access to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, engaging in any business which is directly competitive with the Company will cause it great and irreparable harm.
10.
Accordingly, both during Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company and during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, directly or indirectly engage in any activity – whether as an employee,

April 1, 2019

consultant, principal, member, agent, officer, director, partner or shareholder (except as a less than 1% shareholder of a publicly traded company) – that is competitive with any business of the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group and that is conducted by the Company as of the date of the termination of Executive’s employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company’s “business” means the provision of services and/or products of the type provided by the Company, including but not limited to risk management, risk consulting, insurance broking, alternative risk financing, and insurance program management services; reinsurance broking and consulting, and risk assessment analytics; talent, health, benefits, retirement and investment consulting and services; and management and economic consulting. In recognition of the international nature of the Company’s business, which includes the sale of its products and services globally, this restriction shall apply in all countries throughout the world where the Company does business as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company.
Non-Solicitation/Non-Servicing of Clients
11.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that solely by reason of employment by Marsh or the Company, Executive has and will come into contact with and develop and maintain relationships with a significant number of the Company’s clients and prospective clients and has and will have access to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets relating thereto, including those regarding the Company’s clients, prospective clients and related information.
12.
Consequently, during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit clients or prospective clients of the Company for the purpose of selling or providing products or services of the type sold or provided by Executive while employed by Marsh or the Company; (ii) induce clients or prospective clients of the Company to terminate, cancel, not renew, or not place business with the Company; (iii) perform or supervise the performance of services or provision of products of the type sold or provided by Executive while he was employed by Marsh or the Company on behalf of any clients or prospective clients of the Company; or (iv) assist others to do the acts specified in Sections 12 (i)-(iii). This restriction shall apply only to those clients or prospective clients of the Company with whom Executive had contact or about whom Executive obtained Confidential Information and Trade Secrets during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company. For the purposes of Sections 11 and 12, the term “contact” means interaction between Executive and the client which takes place to further the business relationship, or making (or assisting or supervising the performance or provision of) sales to or performing or providing (or assisting or supervising the performance or provision of) services or products for the client on behalf of the Company. For purposes of Sections 11 and 12, the term “contact” with respect to a “prospective” client means interaction between Executive and a potential client

of the Company which takes place to obtain the business of the potential client on behalf of the Company. It shall not be a defense to a claim that Section 11 or 12 has been breached that Executive’s new employer or entity for which Executive is performing services has previously solicited or served the client.
Non-Solicitation of Employees
13.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that solely as a result of employment with Marsh or the Company, and in light of the broad responsibilities of such employment, which include working with other employees of the Company, Executive has and will come into contact with and acquire Confidential Information and Trade Secrets regarding the Company’s other employees. Accordingly, during Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company and during the twelve (12) month period following the cessation of Executive’s employment with Marsh or the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for any reason, Executive shall not, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, either on Executive’s own account or on behalf of any person, company, corporation, or other entity, directly or indirectly, solicit, or endeavor to cause any employee of the Company with whom Executive, during the last two (2) years of his employment with Marsh or the Company, came into contact for the purpose of soliciting or servicing business or about whom Executive obtained Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, to leave employment with the Company.

Enforcement
14.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, business and goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries. Executive further represents that his experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this Agreement will not prevent him from earning a livelihood or cause undue hardship and that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable in view of the benefits and consideration Executive has received or will receive from the Company.
15.
In recognition of the fact that irreparable harm will result to the Company in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach of this Agreement by Executive, or Executive’s claim in a declaratory judgment action that all or part of this Agreement is unenforceable, and that money damages may not provide adequate relief, the parties agree that the Company shall be entitled to the following particular forms of relief as a result of such breach, in addition to any remedies otherwise available to it at law or equity: (a) injunctions, both preliminary and permanent, enjoining or restraining such breach or anticipatory breach, and other equitable relief, and Executive hereby consents to the issuance thereof forthwith and without bond by any court of competent jurisdiction; and (b) recovery of all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, expenses and costs incurred by the Company to defend or enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

16.
In the event that the Company is required to enforce any of its rights contained in this Agreement through legal proceedings, the parties acknowledge that it may be difficult or impossible to ascertain the precise amount of damages or lost profits incurred by the Company. Therefore, in the event of any breach by Executive of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief available to the Company at law or in equity, Executive agrees that the damages for each client lost in whole or in part by the Company as a result of Executive’s breach shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the gross commissions and fees received by the Company from such client during the twelve (12) months preceding the cessation of Executive’s employment. In arriving at this calculation, Executive agrees that the Company and Executive have considered the following factors: (i) the value of the clients; (ii) the business of the Company; (iii) the type and quality of the clients; (iv) the substantial amount of time, effort and expense incurred by the Company in acquiring, developing and maintaining the clients; (v) the number of years the Company typically retains such clients; (vi) the profitability of renewal business; and (vii) various other factors relating to the relationship between the Company and the clients. Executive further agrees that Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs, expenses and counsel fees incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
17.
The restrictive periods set forth in this Agreement (i) shall be reduced by any period spent by Executive on paid suspension / garden leave, in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Letter Agreement; and (ii) shall not expire and shall be tolled during any period in which Executive is in violation of such restrictive periods, and therefore such restrictive periods shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of any violations thereof by Executive.
Miscellaneous
18.
The parties agree they have attempted to limit the scope of the post-employment restrictions contained herein to the extent necessary to protect Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, client relationships and goodwill. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws and public policies. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such invalid portion, and reformed to the extent valid and enforceable. Such deletion and reformation shall apply only with respect to the operation of this Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
19.
No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in a written or electronic instrument signed by both parties hereto, wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement. Should Executive move to a different jurisdiction while employed by Marsh or the Company, or upon written request of the Company, Executive agrees to sign, without further consideration, upon direction by the Company, such further writings to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement as necessary to comply with applicable law. Executive’s failure to sign such additional agreements shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

20.
The failure of either the Company or Executive, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of the same or any other right, power, or privilege in any other instance. Any waiver by the Company or by Executive must be in a written or electronic instrument signed by either Executive, if Executive is seeking to waive any of his rights under this Agreement, or by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, if the Company is seeking to waive any of its rights under this Agreement.
21.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators, and upon the Company, and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive. This Agreement may be enforced by the Company and its affiliates, successors and assigns.
Governing Law; Amendments; Choice of Forum.
22.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law without reference to principles of conflict of laws. This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by Executive and the Chief Executive Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
23.
The Company and Executive each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to submit any dispute as to the terms of effects of this Agreement to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. The Company and Executive agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

I.
BACKGROUND
An award (“Award”) has been granted to you under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), subject to your acceptance as described in Section II.A.1. The Award type, the number of shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award will be provided to you by Executive Compensation and/or the stock plan service provider of the Company (as defined in Section V.B.). The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and to additional 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, and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”. As used herein, “Common Stock” means common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.
II.
AWARDS
A.
General.
1.
Award Acceptance. The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified by Executive Compensation and/or the Company’s stock plan service provider, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.3. If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the deadline date and in the manner specified, then the Award will be canceled as of the grant date of the Award.
2.
Rights of Award Holders. Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and cash or shares of 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 of Marsh & McLennan Companies. Unless and until shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you have none of the rights 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).
3.
Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As described in Section II.A.1., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award and you must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III. Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified in the Grant Documentation or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section III.F.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.

1
    



B.
Stock Units.
1.
General. A deferred stock unit (“Stock Unit”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, one share of Common Stock after vesting.
2.
Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, [100% of the Stock Units will vest on the 15th of the month in which the [third] anniversary of the grant date of the Award occurs] [33 1/3% of the Stock Units will vest on the 15th of the month in which each of the [first, second and third]] anniversaries of the grant date of the Award occurs]]. [Each][The] date on which a Stock Unit is scheduled to vest pursuant to this Section II.B.2. is [a][the] “Scheduled Vesting Date.” In the event of your termination of employment or the occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.D.) prior to [a][the] Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to any Stock Units that are unvested immediately prior to your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with Section III. below. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining vesting under this Section II.B.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.E.
3.
Dividend Equivalents. For each outstanding Stock Unit covered by the Award, an amount equal to the dividend payment (if any) made in respect of one share of Common Stock (a “Dividend Equivalent”) will accrue in U.S. dollars on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding, with no interest paid on such amounts. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will vest when the Stock Units in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were accrued vest. No further Dividend Equivalents will accrue on Stock Units that do not vest or are canceled or forfeited. If a pro-rata amount of the outstanding unvested Stock Unit award is eligible to vest upon a termination of employment as described in Section III.C., the pro-rata calculation (as described in Section III.G.) will be applied to the Dividend Equivalents that have accrued on the Award as of the date of termination. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will not be paid, and no further Dividend Equivalents will accrue, on Stock Units that do not vest or are canceled or forfeited as per a termination of employment event described in Section III.D.
4.
Delivery.
a.
Shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of the Stock Units covered by the Award shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable after vesting, and in no event later than 60 days after vesting.
b.
The value of vested Dividend Equivalents will be delivered to you in cash as soon as practicable after vesting and in no event later than 60 days after vesting.
c.
The delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable under these Terms and Conditions, is conditioned on the satisfaction or withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C.
d.
Any shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable following your death shall be delivered to the person or persons to

2
    


whom your rights pass by will or the law of descent and distribution, and such delivery shall completely discharge Marsh & McLennan Companies and any of its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ obligations under the Award.
e.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional delivery rules for certain Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.) are reflected in Section III.H.
C.
Satisfaction of Tax Obligations.
1.
Personal Tax Advisor. Neither the Company nor any Company employee is authorized to provide personal tax advice to you. It is recommended that you consult with your personal tax advisor for more detailed information regarding the tax treatment of the Award, especially before making any decisions that rely on that tax treatment.
2.
U.S. Employees. Applicable employment taxes are required by law to be withheld when a Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent vests. Applicable income taxes are required by law to be withheld when shares of Common Stock in respect of Stock Units or cash in respect of Dividend Equivalents are delivered to you. A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation.
3.
Non-U.S. Employees.
a.
Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. In most countries, the value of a Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent is generally not taxable on the grant date. If the value of the Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent is not taxable on the grant date, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later time, for example, upon delivery of a share of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Unit that vests, and/or the subsequent sale of the share of Common Stock received in connection with the vesting of the Stock Unit or upon delivery of cash in respect of a Dividend Equivalent.
b.
Withholding. Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer shall have the power and the right to deduct and withhold from the Award and other compensation or to require you to remit to Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or to your employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes that Marsh & McLennan Companies expects to be payable under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, payment on account, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, social security contributions, and National Insurance Contributions with respect to the Award, and any and all associated tax events derived therefrom. If applicable, Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer will, to the extent permissible under applicable law or otherwise agreed between you and Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer, retain and sell a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock distributable in respect of the Award for this purpose.

III. EMPLOYMENT EVENTS
A.
Death. In the event your employment is terminated because of your death, all of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of the date of your death will fully vest and will be distributed as described in Section II.B.4.
B.
Permanent Disability. Upon the occurrence of your Permanent Disability, the unvested Stock Units will fully vest and will be distributed as described in Section II.B.4., provided that you satisfy the conditions to vesting described in Section III.F.1.

Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause.
1.
General. Except as otherwise provided in Section IV., in the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section V.A.), the unvested Stock Units will vest at such termination of employment on a pro-rata basis as described in Section III.G. and will be distributed as described in Section II.B.4., provided that you satisfy the conditions to vesting described in Section III.F.2.
2.
Important Notes.
a.
Sale of Business Unit. For purposes of this Award, in the event of a sale or similar transaction involving the business unit for which you work (“Employing Company”) as a result of which the Employing Company ceases to be a subsidiary or affiliate of Marsh & McLennan Companies, your employment will be deemed terminated by the Company other than for Cause, even if your employment with the Employing Company continues after the sale or similar transaction.
b.
Constructive Discharge. The Award will not vest, whether on a pro-rata or full basis, upon a constructive discharge, including if any court or regulatory agency retroactively concludes or interprets events to have constituted a constructive discharge.
D.
All Other Terminations. For all other terminations of employment not described in Sections III.A. through C. or Section IV. (including, but not limited to, a termination by the Company for Cause or a resignation by you of your employment with the Company), any rights, title and interest in and to any remaining unvested portion of the Award shall be canceled as of the date your employment is treated as having terminated as described in Section III.E.
E.
Date of Termination of Employment.
1. If Section III.E.2 does not apply to you, then for purposes of determining vesting under Section II.B.2. and the number of unvested Stock Units that vest on a pro-rata basis as described in Section III.G., your employment will be treated as having terminated on your last day of employment with the Company.
2. If you are obligated (whether by law or contract) to provide the Company advance notice of your intention to terminate your employment then, in the event you

4
    


terminate your employment or service relationship pursuant to Section III.D (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), for purposes of determining vesting under Section II.B.2. and the pro rata calculation described in Section III.G., your employment will be treated as having terminated on your last day of active service with the Company, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 
You shall be deemed to have ceased active service with the Company when you are no longer required by the Company to provide regular services to the Company even if you remain legally employed by the Company, such as may occur if the Company were to place you on “garden leave”, a terminal leave of absence or any similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any (in each case as determined by the Company in its sole discretion).

Failure to (a) execute or reaffirm such an agreement by the date specified by the Company, which shall be in no event later than 60 days following the occurrence of your Permanent Disability as described in Section III.B., or (b) comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, will result in the cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award without any liability to the Company.

G.
Determination of Pro-Rata Vesting upon Termination of Employment.
The number of Stock Units and accrued Dividend Equivalents that vest on a pro-rata basis upon your termination of employment will be determined using the following formula:
EXHIBITFORMULAIMAGE.JPG
where
A =
the number of Stock Units/accrued Dividend Equivalents covered by the Award;
B =
the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the date of your termination of employment, as determined in accordance with Section III.E.;
C =
the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the [last] Scheduled Vesting Date; and
D =
the number of Stock Units/accrued Dividend Equivalents that have previously vested, as determined in accordance with Section III.E.
H.
Section 409A of the Code for Award Recipients Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.).
1.
For Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax, notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Award may be subject to additional restrictions to ensure compliance with (or continued exemption from) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section V.E.). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Marsh & McLennan Companies (the “Committee”) intends to administer the Award in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and reserves the right to make changes in the terms or operations of the Award (including changes that may have retroactive effect) deemed necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A of the Code. This means, for example, that the timing of distributions may be different from those described in the Award Documentation that do not reflect Section 409A of the Code. If the Award is not in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, you may be subject to immediate taxation of all unpaid awards under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code at your regular federal income tax rate, plus a 20% additional tax, plus interest at the underpayment rate plus 1%, as well as any state and local taxes, penalties, additional taxes and interest, if applicable, imposed under any state tax law similar to Section 409A of the Code.
2.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any portion of the Award is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any references to “termination of employment,” or “when you are no longer employed” in these Terms and Conditions shall have the following meaning:
Your “termination of employment” (or similar terms) shall occur when you have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as further defined herein. Specifically, you will have incurred a “separation from service” when the level of services you provide to the Company

6
    


in any capacity, including as an employee, director, independent contractor or consultant, does not exceed 20% of the average level of services that you provided to the Company in the preceding 36 months (or shorter period of service if, for example, your total service with the Company is less than 36 months), all as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred, any period of up to six months during which you are on a bona fide leave of absence or up to 29 months during which you are absent from work due to a disability for which you are receiving Marsh & McLennan Companies long-term disability benefits will be ignored.
3.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if at the time of your termination of employment you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) no portion of the Award that is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code can be distributed prior to the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment and any such distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following your termination of employment will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment. The provisions of this subparagraph will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid any “additional tax” under Section 409A of the Code.
4.
Nothing in this Section III.H. is intended to nor does it guarantee that the Award will not be subject to “additional tax” or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code or any similar state tax law.
IV.
CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS
A.
Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control”, as defined in the Plan, the Award will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule specified in Section II.B.2. and subject to earlier vesting or forfeiture pursuant to Section III., provided that the Award will become fully vested at your termination of employment by the Company other than for Cause, or by you for Good Reason (as defined in Section V.C.), during the 24-month period following such Change in Control and will be distributed as described in Section II.B.4., provided that you satisfy the conditions to vesting described in Section IV.B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Award is not assumed, converted or replaced in connection with a Change in Control on an equivalent basis, the Award will fully vest immediately prior to the Change in Control and will be distributed as described in Section II.B.4.
B.
As a condition to vesting of any unvested portion of the Award, in the event of your termination of employment by the Company other than for Cause or by you for Good Reason during the 24-month period following such Change in Control, you will be required to execute and not revoke a waiver and release agreement, if provided by the Company at the time of your termination of employment. Failure to meet these requirements by the date specified by the Company, which shall be in no event later than 60 days following your termination of employment, or failure to comply with the waiver and release agreement, if applicable, will result in the cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award.

Without limitation, this may include making any payments due under the Award in cash instead of shares of Common Stock or in shares of Common Stock instead of cash, in an amount equivalent to the value of the Award on the date of vesting after payment of applicable taxes and fees.

I.    BACKGROUND
An award (“Award”) has been granted to you under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), subject to your acceptance as described in Section II.A.1. The Award type, the number of shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award will be provided to you by Executive Compensation and/or the stock plan service provider of the Company (as defined in Section V.D.). The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and to additional 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 and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”. As used herein, “Common Stock” means common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.
II.    AWARDS
A.    General.
1.
Award Acceptance. The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified by Executive Compensation and/or the Company’s stock plan service provider, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.3. If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the deadline date and in the manner specified, then the Award will be cancelled as of the grant date of the Award.
2.
Rights of Award Holders. Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and cash or shares of 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 of Marsh & McLennan Companies. Unless and until shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you have none of the rights 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).
3.
Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As described in Section II.A.1., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award, you must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III., and you must further execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, and be in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to become distributable to you whether or not you are employed by the Company at that time. Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified by the Company or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as

1


described in Section III.H.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.
B.    Stock Units.
1.
General. A restricted stock unit (“Stock Unit”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, one share of Common Stock after vesting.
2.
Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, 33-1/3% of the Stock Units will vest on [DATE] of [YEAR], [YEAR] and [YEAR]. Each date on which a Stock Unit is scheduled to vest pursuant to this Section II.B.2. is a “Scheduled Vesting Date.” In the event of your termination of employment, the occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.H.) or the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan) prior to a Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to any Stock Units that are unvested immediately prior to your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with Section III. or Section IV., as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining vesting under this Section II.B.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.
3.
Dividend Equivalents. For each outstanding Stock Unit covered by the Award, an amount equal to the dividend payment (if any) made in respect of one share of Common Stock (a “Dividend Equivalent”) will accrue in U.S. dollars on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding, with no interest paid on such amounts. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will vest when the Stock Units in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were accrued vest. No further Dividend Equivalents will accrue on Stock Units that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited. If a pro-rata amount of the outstanding unvested Stock Unit award is eligible to vest upon a termination of employment event as described in Section III.C.1, III.D and III.E.1, the pro-rata calculation (as described in Section III.I) will be applied to the Dividend Equivalents that have accrued on the Award as of the date of termination. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will not be paid, and no further Dividend Equivalents will accrue, on Stock Units that do not vest or are cancelled or forfeited as per a termination of employment event described in Section III.F.
4.
Delivery.
a.
Shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of the Stock Units covered by the Award shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the Scheduled Vesting Date, and in no event later than 60 days following the Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.
b.
The value of vested Dividend Equivalents will be delivered to you in cash as soon as practicable after delivery of the shares of Common Stock described in II.B.4.a above, and in no event later than 60 days following

2


the Scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections III., IV., and VI.B.
c.
The delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable under these Terms and Conditions, is conditioned on the satisfaction or withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C.
d.
Any shares of Common Stock and/or cash or other property that may be deliverable following your death shall be delivered to the person or persons to whom your rights pass by will or the law of descent and distribution, and such delivery shall completely discharge Marsh & McLennan Companies and any of its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ obligations under the Award.
e.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional delivery rules for certain Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.) are reflected in Section III.J.
C.    Satisfaction of Tax Obligations.
1.
Personal Tax Advisor. Neither the Company nor any Company employee is authorized to provide personal tax advice to you. It is recommended that you consult with your personal tax advisor for more detailed information regarding the tax treatment of the Award, especially before making any decisions that rely on that tax treatment.
2.
U.S. Employees. Applicable employment taxes are required by law to be withheld when a Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent vests. Applicable income taxes are required by law to be withheld when shares of Common Stock in respect of Stock Units or cash in respect of Dividend Equivalents are delivered to you. A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation.
3.
Non-U.S. Employees.
a.
Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. In most countries, the value of a Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent is generally not taxable on the grant date. If the value of the Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent is not taxable on the grant date, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later time, for example, upon delivery of a share of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Unit that vests, and/or the subsequent sale of the share of Common Stock received in connection with the vesting of the Stock Unit or upon delivery of cash in respect of a Dividend Equivalent.
b.
Withholding. Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer shall have the power and the right to deduct and withhold from the Award and other compensation or to require you to remit to Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or to your employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes that Marsh & McLennan Companies expects to be payable under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, payment on account, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, social security

3


contributions and National Insurance Contributions with respect to the Award, and any and all associated tax events derived therefrom. If applicable, Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer will, to the extent permissible under applicable law or otherwise agreed between you and Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer, retain and sell a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock distributable in respect of the Award for this purpose.
III.    EMPLOYMENT EVENTS
A.
Death. In the event your employment is terminated because of your death, all of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of the date of your death will fully vest and will be distributed within 60 days following such date.
B.
Permanent Disability. Upon the occurrence of your Permanent Disability, all of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of the occurrence of your Permanent Disability will remain outstanding and will be distributed as soon as practicable following the next Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.; provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the occurrence of your Permanent Disability occurs on a Scheduled Vesting Date, distribution will occur as soon as practicable following such Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.
C.
Termination by You Outside of the European Union - Age and Service Treatment. If you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting (as defined in Section V.B.) or the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting (as defined in Section V.A.) on or before the date you terminate your employment with the Company for any reason other than death or the occurrence of your Permanent Disability and you are determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in its sole discretion, to be employed outside of the European Union (as defined in V.F.), then:
1.
If you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting but not the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting, upon such termination of employment, a pro-rata portion of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of such termination of employment will remain outstanding (as described in Section III.I) and will be distributed as soon as practicable following the next Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.; provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.1. The portion of the unvested Stock Units that does not remain outstanding pursuant to this paragraph will be forfeited and cancelled.
2.
If you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting, upon such termination of employment, all of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of such termination of employment will remain outstanding and be distributed as soon as practicable following the next Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.; provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of each of Sections III.C.1. and 2., if your termination of employment occurs on a Scheduled Vesting Date, distribution will

4


occur as soon as practicable following such Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4. For the further avoidance of doubt, Section III.E. will govern the treatment of the Award in the event your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section V.C.).
For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining whether you have satisfied either the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting or the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting under this Section III.C. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.
D.
Termination by You Within the European Union - Retirement Treatment. Provided you have a minimum of five years of service with the Company on or before you terminate employment, you will be eligible to apply for retirement treatment. If you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee (as defined in Section V.I.) to be eligible for retirement treatment on or following the time you terminate your employment with the Company for any reason other than death or the occurrence of your Permanent Disability and you are determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to be employed within the European Union, then upon your termination of employment a pro-rata portion of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of such termination of employment will remain outstanding (as described in Section III.I.) until the later to occur of the next Scheduled Vesting Date or the determination by the Retirement Treatment Committee that you are eligible for retirement treatment, and will be distributed as soon as practicable, and in no event later than 60 days thereafter; provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.1. Prior to distribution, Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion may ask you to reaffirm the existence of the facts and factors upon which the determination to provide retirement treatment was made. The portion of the unvested Stock Units that does not remain outstanding pursuant to this paragraph will be forfeited and cancelled. For the avoidance of doubt, Section III.E.1. will govern the treatment of the Award in the event your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause. For the further avoidance of doubt, if your termination of employment occurs on a Scheduled Vesting Date, distribution will occur within 60 days following such Scheduled Vesting Date (or, if later, within 60 days following the determination by the Retirement Treatment Committee that you are eligible for retirement treatment). For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining whether you have satisfied the minimum service requirement under this Section III.D. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.
E.    Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause.
1.
General. Except as otherwise provided in Sections III.E.2. and IV., in the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, a pro-rata portion of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of such termination of employment will remain outstanding (as described in Section III.I.) and will be distributed as soon as practicable following the next Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4., provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.2. The portion of the unvested Stock Units that

5


does not remain outstanding pursuant to this paragraph will be forfeited and cancelled. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section III.E.1. shall apply regardless of whether you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment on or following your termination of employment or you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting on or before your termination of employment by the Company.
2.
Prior Satisfaction of Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting. In the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, and on or before your termination of employment you satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting, all of the unvested Stock Units that are outstanding as of such termination of employment will remain outstanding and will be distributed as soon as practicable following the next Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.; provided that you have satisfied the conditions described in Section III.H.2. For the avoidance of doubt, this section III.E.2. shall not apply (and rather Section III.E.1. shall apply) if you are determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to be employed within the European Union.
For the avoidance of doubt, if your termination of employment occurs on a Scheduled Vesting Date, distribution will occur as soon as practicable following such Scheduled Vesting Date as described in Section II.B.4.
3.
Important Notes.
a.
Sale of Business Unit. For purposes of this Award, in the event of a sale or similar transaction involving the business unit for which you work (“Employing Company”) as a result of which the Employing Company ceases to be a subsidiary or affiliate of Marsh & McLennan Companies, your employment will be deemed terminated by the Company other than for Cause, even if your employment with the Employing Company continues after the sale or similar transaction.
b.
Constructive Discharge. The Award will not vest, whether on a pro-rata or full basis, upon a constructive discharge, including if any court or regulatory agency retroactively concludes or interprets events to have constituted a constructive discharge.
F.
All Other Terminations. For all other terminations of employment not described in Sections III.A. through E. or Section IV. (including, but not limited to, a termination by the Company for Cause, your resignation without having satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting or the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting as described in Section III.C., or your resignation without meeting the minimum service requirement or without having been determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment on or following your termination of employment as described in Section III.D.), any rights, title and interest in and to any remaining unvested portion of the Award shall be cancelled as of the date your employment is treated as having terminated as described in Section III.G.

2.
If you are obligated (whether by law or contract) to provide the Company advance notice of your intention to terminate your employment or service relationship then, in the event you terminate your employment pursuant to Section III.C., III.D. or III.F.

You shall be deemed to have ceased active service with the Company when you are no longer required by the Company to provide regular services to the Company even if you remain legally employed by the Company, such as may occur if the Company were to place you on “garden leave”, a terminal leave of absence or any similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any (in each case as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.)

The pro-rata portion of the unvested Stock Units and accrued Dividend Equivalents that are outstanding as of a termination of employment that will become distributable under certain circumstances described in Section III. will be determined using the following formula:
EXHIBITFORMULAIMAGE.JPG
where
A =

B =
the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the date of your termination of employment, as determined in accordance with Section III.G;
C =
the number of days in the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the last Scheduled Vesting Date; and

J.
Section 409A of the Code for Award Recipients Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax (whether or not the recipient is a U.S. citizen or employed in the U.S.).
1.
For Award recipients subject to U.S. federal income tax, notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Award may be subject to additional restrictions to ensure compliance with (or continued exemption from) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section V.J.). The Compensation

8


Committee of the Board of Directors of Marsh & McLennan Companies (the “Committee”) intends to administer the Award in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and reserves the right to make changes in the terms or operations of the Award (including changes that may have retroactive effect) deemed necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A of the Code. This means, for example, that the timing of distributions may be different from those described in the Award Documentation that do not reflect Section 409A of the Code. If the Award is not in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, you may be subject to immediate taxation of all unpaid awards under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code at your regular federal income tax rate, plus a 20% additional tax, plus interest at the underpayment rate plus 1%, as well as any state and local taxes, penalties, additional taxes and interest, if applicable, imposed under any state tax law similar to Section 409A of the Code.
2.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any portion of the Award is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any references to “termination of employment,” or “when you are no longer employed” in these Terms and Conditions shall have the following meaning:
Your “termination of employment” (or similar terms) shall occur when you have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as further defined herein. Specifically, you will have incurred a “separation from service” when the level of services you provide to the Company in any capacity, including as an employee, director, independent contractor or consultant, does not exceed 20% of the average level of services that you provided to the Company in the preceding 36 months (or shorter period of service if, for example, your total service with the Company is less than 36 months), all as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred, any period of up to six months during which you are on a bona fide leave of absence or up to 29 months during which you are absent from work due to a disability for which you are receiving Marsh & McLennan Companies long-term disability benefits will be ignored.
3.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if at the time of your termination of employment you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), no portion of the Award that is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code can be distributed prior to the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment and any such distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following your termination of employment will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment. The provisions of this subparagraph will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid any “additional tax” under Section 409A of the Code.

a.
If you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting at any time prior to [DATE] and you do not satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting at any time prior to [DATE], then for each Scheduled Vesting Date following the date that you satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting, shares of Common Stock and/or cash pursuant to Section II.B.4. will be delivered by March 15 of the year in which the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs.

5.
Notwithstanding any provision herein, for distributions of Stock Units or cash attributable to such Stock Units that are subject to one or more Employment-Related Actions (as defined in Section V.E.) where you have not satisfied, and would not satisfy, the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting prior to [DATE]:

With respect to Stock Units, no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the substantial risk of forfeiture (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) (the “Substantial Risk of Forfeiture”) lapses with respect to such Stock Units, shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Units shall be delivered to you (to the extent not previously delivered), subject to a stop transfer order and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such delivery. Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies will remove or cause to be removed such stop transfer order; and
b.
With respect to a cash payment attributable to Stock Units, to the extent that such payment will not be made by March 15th of the year following the year in which the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses with respect to such payment, such payment shall be placed in escrow or contributed to a secular trust (in the sole discretion of Marsh & McLennan Companies) for your benefit on or before such March 15th and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such placement or contribution. Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies shall cause such amounts to be released from escrow or paid to you out of such trust.

In either case, if any Employment-Related Action is not timely satisfied, the shares of Common Stock or the cash payment shall revert to Marsh & McLennan Companies with no further compensation due to you.
6.
Notwithstanding any provision herein, with respect to distributions of Stock Units or cash attributable to such Stock Units (i) where you have satisfied or would satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting prior to [DATE] and (ii) where such distributions are subject to one or more Employment-Related Actions:    
a.
With respect to Stock Units, no later than December 31st of the year in which Scheduled Vesting Date occurs, shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Units shall be delivered to you (to the extent not previously delivered), subject to a stop transfer order and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such delivery. Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies will remove or cause to be removed such stop transfer order; and
b.
With respect to a cash payment attributable to Stock Units, to the extent any such payment will not be made by December 31st of the year in which the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs, any payment that relates to such Scheduled Vesting Date shall be placed in escrow or contributed to a secular trust (in the sole discretion of Marsh & McLennan Companies) for your benefit on or before such December 31st and subject to withholding of any applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C. at the time of such placement or contribution. Upon your timely satisfaction of all applicable Employment-Related Actions, Marsh & McLennan Companies shall cause such amounts to be released from escrow or paid to you out of such trust.
In either case, if any Employment-Related Action is not timely satisfied, the shares of Common Stock or the cash payment shall revert to Marsh & McLennan Companies with no further compensation due to you.

I.    BACKGROUND
A Performance Stock Unit award (“Award”) has been granted to you under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), subject to your acceptance as described in Section II.A.1. The number of shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award will be provided to you by Executive Compensation and/or the stock plan service provider of the Company (as defined in Section V.E.). The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and to additional 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 and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”. As used herein, “Common Stock” means common stock of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.
II.    AWARDS
A.
General.
1. Award Acceptance. The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified by Executive Compensation and/or the Company’s stock plan service provider, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.3. If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the deadline date and in the manner specified, then the Award will be canceled as of the grant date of the Award.
2.
Rights of Award Holders. Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and cash or shares of 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 of Marsh & McLennan Companies. Unless and until shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you have none of the rights 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, etc.).
3.
Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As described in Section II.A.1., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award, you must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III., and you must further execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies in its sole discretion, and be in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to become distributable to you whether or not

1
    
    



you are employed by the Company at that time. Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified by the Company or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section III.I.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.
B.
Performance Stock Units.
1.
General. A performance stock unit (“PSU”) represents an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of the Award Documentation, a minimum of zero (0) and up to a maximum of two (2) shares of Common Stock after vesting, depending on the achievement, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Marsh & McLennan Companies (the “Committee”), of the Company earnings per share performance factor (the “EPS Performance Factor”) and relative shareholder return modifier (“Relative TSR Modifier”) performance objectives established by the Committee for the Performance Period (as defined in Section V.I.). In the event of your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.J.) prior to the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date (defined below), the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a PSU shall be determined as provided in Sections III. and IV.A.3.
2.
Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, the PSUs are scheduled to vest on [DATE] (the “PSU Scheduled Vesting Date”). In the event of your termination of employment, the occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.J.) or the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to the PSUs will be determined in accordance with Section III. or Section IV., as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of this Section II.B.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.H.
3.
Dividend Equivalents. A payment will be made that is equal to the dividend payment (if any) that would have been made, on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the date of grant while the PSUs are outstanding, in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that is determined under Section II.B.1 to be delivered in respect of vested PSUs (a “Dividend Equivalent”). Dividend Equivalents will vest when the PSUs, in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents were calculated, vest. Prior to the determination described in Section II.B.1, for each outstanding PSU, an amount equal to the dividend payment (if any) made in respect of one share of Common Stock will accrue in U.S. dollars on each dividend record date that occurs on or after the grant date of the Award while the Award is outstanding, with no interest paid on such amounts. No further dividend equivalents will accrue on PSUs that do not vest or are canceled or forfeited. If a pro-rata amount of the outstanding unvested PSUs is eligible to vest upon a termination of employment as described in Section III.C, III.E and III.F, the pro-rata calculation applied to the outstanding PSUs described in Section III.J will be applied to the dividend equivalents that have accrued on the Award as of the date of termination. Accrued dividend equivalents will not be paid, and no further

2
    
    



dividend equivalents will accrue, on PSUs that do not vest or are canceled or forfeited as described in Section III.G.
4.
Delivery.
a.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if at the time of your termination of employment you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), no portion of the Award that is determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code can be distributed prior to the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment and any such distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following your termination of employment will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after your termination of employment. The provisions of this subparagraph will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid any “additional tax” under Section 409A of the Code.
4.
Notwithstanding any provision herein, if (i) a Change in Control occurs on or prior to December 31 of the second year of the three-year Performance Period and (ii) no earlier than in the third year of the three-year Performance Period, (A) you satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Pro-Rata Vesting, (B) you satisfy the Age and Service Criteria for Full Vesting, (C) you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment on or following your termination of employment, (D) you are terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or (E) the occurrence of your Permanent Disability, then shares of Common Stock deliverable on the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date in respect of the PSUs covered by the Award shall be distributed to you as soon as practicable following the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date, and in no event later than March 15 of the year in which the PSU Scheduled Vesting Date occurs.

(“Marsh & McLennan Companies”) common stock covered by the Award, instructions on how to accept or decline the Award and the deadline for accepting the Award will be provided to you by Executive Compensation and/or the stock plan service provider of the Company (as defined in Section V.E.). The Award is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and to additional 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 and the Plan will be referred to herein as the “Award Documentation”.

Capitalized terms in these Terms and Conditions are defined in Section V.
II.    AWARDS
A.
General.
1.
Award Acceptance. The grant of this Award is contingent upon your acceptance, by the date and in the manner specified by Executive Compensation and/or the Company’s stock plan service provider, of these Terms and Conditions, the Country-Specific Notices and Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section II.A.3. If you decline the Award or if you do not accept the Award and any applicable documents described in the preceding sentence by the deadline date and in the manner specified, then the Award will be canceled as of the grant date of the Award.
2.
Rights of Award Holders. Unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, have been delivered to you upon your exercise of the Award in accordance with the Award Documentation, you have none of the rights of ownership to such shares (e.g., Options cannot be transferred or assigned; Options have no voting rights, etc.).
3.
Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As described in Section II.A.1., a Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) in a form determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies must be in place in order to accept the Award, you must execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in its sole discretion, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order for the Award to vest pursuant to certain employment events as described in Section III., and you must further execute or reaffirm, as determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in its sole discretion, and be in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in order to exercise an Option whether or not you are employed by the Company at that time. Failure to timely execute the Restrictive Covenants Agreement by the date specified by the Company or failure to timely execute or reaffirm and comply with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement as described in Section III.H.1. or 2., as applicable, will result in cancellation or forfeiture of any rights, title and interest in and to the Award, without any liability to the Company.

B.    Stock Options.
1.
General. A stock option (“Option”) represents the right to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) at a specified exercise price for a specified period.
2.
Vesting. Subject to your continued employment, 25% of the Option Shares covered by the Option will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date of the Award. Each date on which an Option Share covered by the Option is scheduled to vest is an “Option Scheduled Vesting Date. In the event of your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability (as defined in Section V.H.) prior to an Option Scheduled Vesting Date, your right to any Option Shares covered by the Option that are unvested immediately prior to your termination of employment or occurrence of your Permanent Disability, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with Section III. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of this Section II.B.2. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.
3.
Term. Subject to your continued employment, the Option will expire on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the Award (“Option Expiration Date”). If your employment terminates before the Option Expiration Date, your right to exercise any vested Option Shares covered by the Option will be determined in accordance with Section III.
4.
Exercisability. The Option Shares covered by the Option will become exercisable when they vest. You are responsible for keeping track of exercise periods while actively employed and, if applicable, any post-termination exercise periods.
5.
Method of Exercise of an Option.
a.
General Procedures. An Option may be exercised by written notice (or other notice as required by the Company and/or its stock plan service provider) to Marsh & McLennan Companies or an agent appointed by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in form and substance satisfactory to Marsh & McLennan Companies, which must state the election to exercise such Option, the number of Option Shares for which such Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as may be required pursuant to the provisions of the Award Documentation (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice must be accompanied by (i) any required income tax forms and (ii) any required reaffirmation of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, unless (A) the Option is being exercised after your death in accordance with Section III. or (B) as otherwise determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies.
b.
Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the aggregate exercise price may be made with U.S. dollars or by tendering shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock acquired from a stock option exercise or a stock unit award vesting) at your election.
c.
Distribution of Option Shares. The shares of Common Stock from the Option exercise will be distributed as specified in the Exercise Notice, after you have

2
    
    



satisfied applicable tax obligations, as described in Section II.C., and fees.
C.
Satisfaction of Tax Obligations.
1.
Personal Tax Advisor. Neither the Company nor any Company employee is authorized to provide personal tax advice to you. It is recommended that you consult with your personal tax advisor for more detailed information regarding the tax treatment of the Award, especially before making any decisions that rely on that tax treatment.
2.
U.S. Employees. Applicable taxes (including employment taxes) are required by law to be withheld when a nonqualified Option is exercised. A sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock resulting from the Option exercise will be retained by Marsh & McLennan Companies to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation unless you elect in the Exercise Notice to satisfy all applicable tax withholding in another manner.
3.
Non-U.S. Employees.
a.
In most countries, the value of an Option is generally not taxable on the grant date. If the value of the Option is not taxable on the grant date, it will, in most countries, be taxed at a later time, for example, upon exercise of the Option and delivery of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Option, and/or the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock.
b.
Withholding. Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer shall have the power and the right to deduct and withhold from the Award and other compensation or to require you to remit to Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or to your employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes that Marsh & McLennan Companies expects to be payable under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, payment on account, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, social security contributions and National Insurance Contributions with respect to the Award, and any and all associated tax events derived therefrom. If applicable, Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer will, to the extent permissible under applicable law or otherwise agreed between you and Marsh & McLennan Companies and/or your employer, retain and sell a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock distributable in respect of the Award for this purpose.
III.    EMPLOYMENT EVENTS
A.
Death. In the event your employment is terminated because of your death, the Option will fully vest with respect to any unvested Option Shares and will become exercisable as of the date of your death. The person or persons to whom your rights under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be entitled to exercise such Option with respect to any Option Shares that vest (and any Option Shares that were already vested at the time of your death) within two years after the date of death, but in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Option Expiration Date.

3
    
    




B.
Permanent Disability. Upon the occurrence of your Permanent Disability, the Option will fully vest with respect to any unvested Option Shares and will become exercisable; provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.1; and provided further that any such Option Shares that vest in accordance with this Section III.B. (and any Option Shares that were already vested at the time your Permanent Disability occurred) shall be exercisable for two years following the occurrence of your Permanent Disability, but in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Option Expiration Date.
C.
Termination by You Outside of the European Union - Age and Service Vesting. If you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Vesting (as defined in Section V.A.) on or before the date you terminate your employment with the Company for any reason other than death or the occurrence of your Permanent Disability and you are determined by Marsh & McLennan Companies, in its sole discretion, to be employed outside of the European Union (as defined in Section V.F.), then this Section III.C. shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, Section III.E. will govern the treatment of the Award in the event your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section V.B.).
Upon such termination of employment, the Option will continue to vest with respect to any unvested Option Shares as provided in Section II.B.2. as if your employment had not terminated and the Option Shares will become exercisable as provided in Section II.B.4., provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.1. Provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.1., any such Option Shares that vest (and any Option Shares that were already vested at the time of your termination of employment) shall be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of your termination of employment and the Option Expiration Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining whether you have satisfied the Age and Service Criteria for Vesting under this Section III.C. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.     
D.
Termination by You Within the European Union - Retirement Treatment. Provided you have a minimum of five years of service with the Company on or before you terminate employment, you will be eligible to apply for retirement treatment. If you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee (as defined in Section V.I.) to be eligible for retirement treatment on or following the time you terminate your employment with the Company for any reason other than death or the occurrence of your Permanent Disability and you are determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to be employed within the European Union, then this Section III.D. shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, Section III.E. will govern the treatment of the Award in the event your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section V.B.).
Upon such termination of employment, the Option will continue to vest with respect to any unvested Option Shares as provided in Section II.B.2. as if your employment had not terminated and the Option Shares will become exercisable as provided in Section II.B.4.; provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.1. Provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.1., any such Option Shares

4
    
    



that vest (and any Option Shares that were already vested at the time of your termination of employment) shall be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of your termination of employment and the Option Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Option Scheduled Vesting Date occurs following the date that you terminate your employment but prior to the date the Retirement Treatment Committee determines that you are eligible for retirement treatment, the Options Shares that were scheduled to vest on such Option Scheduled Vesting Date will vest on the date you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment.
For the avoidance of doubt, the date of your termination of employment for purposes of determining whether you have satisfied the minimum service requirement under this Section III.D. will be determined in accordance with Section III.G.

Provided that you satisfy the conditions described in Section III.H.2., any such Option Shares that vest (and any Option Shares that were already vested at the time of your termination of employment) shall be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of your termination of employment and the Option Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Option Scheduled Vesting Date occurs following the date that your employment is terminated by the Company but prior to the date the Retirement Treatment Committee determines that you are eligible for retirement treatment, the Options Shares that were scheduled to vest on such Option Scheduled Vesting Date will vest on the date you are determined by the Retirement Treatment Committee to be eligible for retirement treatment.

(New York City time), five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such requested currency.

Each Additional Currency Facility shall be evidenced by an addendum hereto (an “Additional Currency Facility Addendum”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Lenders (or Affiliates) committing to provide such facility (for any Additional Currency Facility, the “Additional Currency Facility Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent, which Additional Currency Facility Addendum shall set forth in any event the commitment amount of each Additional Currency Facility Lender with respect thereto. Upon execution and delivery of such Additional Currency Facility Addendum by the parties thereto, each Additional Currency Facility Lender referred to therein shall have an Additional Currency Facility Commitment in the requested Additional Currency as set forth therein. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Additional Currency Facility Addendum, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and the terms of the Additional Currency Facility evidenced thereby.

NYDOCS02/1166703    35
    



Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to purchase its Ratable Share of Swing Line Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Upon any such assignment by a Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, such Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, this Agreement, the Notes or the Borrowers.

If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by such Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(v)    Additional Currency Facility Borrowings. Each Additional Currency Facility Borrowing shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Additional Currency Facility Addendum.
(b)    Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Committed Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Committed Borrowing is less than the Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9, 8.1 or 8.2.
(c)    Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, Notice of Canadian Borrowing and Notice of Australian Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower requesting such Borrowing.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Committed Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower requesting such Borrowing on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion

NYDOCS02/1166703    36
    



available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Committed Advances comprising such Committed Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in US Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Advance as part of such Committed Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    The failure of any Lender to make the Committed Advance to be made by it as part of any Committed Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Committed Advance on the date of such Committed Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Committed Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Committed Borrowing.
(f)    If the respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the first day of an Interest Period for any Revolving Credit Borrowing are different from the respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the last day of such Interest Period (in each case determined without giving effect to clauses (b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of the definition of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments), the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and the respective Revolving Credit Advances shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders so that, after giving effect to such reallocation, the Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and continuing into the subsequent Interest Period are funded by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments on such last day. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.3 shall not apply to any additional amounts required to be funded by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2(f).

(New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree), by any Borrower to any Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by a Borrower of Issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telecopier, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to such application and agreement for letter of credit used by such Issuing Bank (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include discretionary conditions), unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment for the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.3 shall not

NYDOCS02/1166703    41
    



then be satisfied, such Issuing Bank will issue the Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Bank.
(a)    Letter of Credit Commitment. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally.
(b)    Participations. By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing or decreasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason, which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be a Revolving Credit Advance to such Borrower hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to a Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.15, an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)    Drawing and Reimbursement. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank will notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date made shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of a Revolving Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, without regard to whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative

NYDOCS02/1166703    42
    



Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.4(b). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Revolving Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Revolving Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Revolving Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(d)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of a Borrower, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(e)    Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (B) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(f)    Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.3(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
(g)    Applicability of ISP.   Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower

NYDOCS02/1166703    43
    



when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to such Letter of Credit. “ISP” means, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, Inc. (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance).
Section 2.5    Commitment Fees; Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Company hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee at the Commitment Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule). Such commitment fee shall accrue for each Lender from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in their entirety, on the daily amount of such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fees accruing pursuant to Sections 2.5(a) and 2.5(b)(i) during the period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than such Lender in respect of such fees), and in the case of Section 2.5(b)(i) such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to other Lenders and/or the relevant Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(iii) and 2.19(a)(iv) (and the payment provisions of this Agreement will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.5(c)).
Section 2.6    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders upon receipt of such notice), to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments, Unused Canadian Commitments, Unused Australian Commitments, Unused Additional Currency Facility Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction of any Facility shall be in the aggregate amount of US$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in US Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of US Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended; provided that the applicable Borrower may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within one Business Day of such Event of Default, to continue such Advances in such

NYDOCS02/1166703    47
    



Committed Currency, whereupon the Administrative Agent may require that each Interest Period relating to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall bear interest at the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for a period of three Business Days and thereafter, each such Interest Period shall have a duration of not longer than one month. “Overnight Eurocurrency Rate” means, in the case of Advances denominated in a Committed Currency other than Euro, the rate appearing on applicable Bloomberg screen as LIBOR for deposits in the applicable Committed Currency at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Business Days prior to the such day for a term of one Business Day, or in the case of Advances denominated in Euro, EONIA.
(c)    If EONIA, the applicable Bloomberg screen is unavailable and fewer than three Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining EONIA, the EURIBO Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate or the LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, after the Administrative Agent has requested such information,
(i)    the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,
(ii)    with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in US Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of US Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and
(iii)    the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Committed Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)    Interest Act (Canada). With respect to Advances made to a Canadian Borrower, whenever a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.
(e)    Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment. With respect to Advances made to a Canadian Borrower, the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.
(f)    Interest Paid by a Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the

NYDOCS02/1166703    48
    



Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by a Canadian Borrower under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in the Section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that Section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of a Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to such Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Lenders will be prima facie evidence of such rate.
(g)    Interest on Bank Bill Rate Advances. With respect to Bank Bill Rate Advances made to an Australian Borrower, the rate of interest shall be calculated on actual days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
(h)    Successor LIBOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Company) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:
(i)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)    the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),
then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate

NYDOCS02/1166703    49
    



Advances, LIBO Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances, LIBO Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein (or, in the case of a request for a Borrowing denominated in a Committed Currency, the Equivalent amount of US Dollars of the amount specified therein).
LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Company).
Section 2.10    Optional Conversion of Committed Advances. The Borrower of any Committed Advance may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9, 8.1 and 8.2, Convert all or a portion of the Committed Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing under a Facility into Committed Advances under such Facility denominated in the same currency of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and any Conversion of Base Rate Advances or Canadian Prime Rate Advance, as the case may be, into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.2(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Committed Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice.
Section 2.11    Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. Each Borrower may, upon notice at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Bank Bill Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances or Canadian Prime Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent or to the Australian Sub-Agent, in the case of Australian Advances denominated in Australian Dollars, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Advances comprising part of the same Committed Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment of Committed Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof, (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the

NYDOCS02/1166703    50
    



Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.18 and (z) each partial prepayment of Swing Line Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 or €1,000,000, as applicable.
(a)    Mandatory. (i) If, on any date, the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in US Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding (net of any cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.19(a)) plus (B) the Equivalent in US Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within three Business Days after receipt of such notice, subject to the proviso to this sentence set forth below, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Committed Advances owing by the Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders on such date together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Advances prepaid; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances or Canadian Prime Rate Advances outstanding at the time of such required prepayment is less than the amount of such required prepayment, the portion of such required prepayment in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances and Canadian Prime Rate Advances then outstanding shall be deferred until the earliest to occur of the last day of the Interest Period of the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances or the outstanding LIBO Rate Advances and/or the maturity date of the outstanding Fixed Rate Advances, as the case may be, in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of such required prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrowers and the Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to the Borrowers of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender.
Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a LIBO Rate Advance or a Local Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.18. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Company and the Lenders.
Section 2.12    General Provisions as to Payments. (a)  Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in US Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 Noon (at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due in such Foreign Currency to the Administrative Agent or the Australian Sub-Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Administrative Agent’s (or Australian Sub-Agent’s) Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees

NYDOCS02/1166703    51
    



or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.3, 2.5(b), 2.18, 8.3, 8.4 or 10.3) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.15 or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein pursuant to Section 10.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(a)    All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Canadian Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Administrative Agent as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or commissions, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such

NYDOCS02/1166703    52
    



amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in US Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies.
(d)    To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into US Dollars or into a Foreign Currency or from US Dollars to a Foreign Currency or from a Foreign Currency to US Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12; provided that each Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.12(e).
Section 2.13    Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Committed Advances owing to it (other than (x) as payment of a Revolving Credit Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.4(c), as payment of a Swing Line Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(v), (y) pursuant to Section 2.18, 8.3, 8.4 or 10.3 or (z) as consideration for an assignment or participation in accordance with Section 10.6) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of the Committed Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Committed Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, and provided further that, so long as the Advances shall not have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, any excess payment received by any Lender under a Facility shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Lenders that have Commitments or Advances under such Facility. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

NYDOCS02/1166703    53
    



Section 2.14    Evidence of Debt. (a)     Each Lender may, by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, request that its Commitments or its Committed Advances be evidenced by a promissory note forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibits F-1, F-2 and F-3 or as an exhibit to the applicable Additional Currency Facility Addendum, in an amount equal to its Commitments, as the case may be. In such event, each Borrower, at its costs, shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Committed Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). Each such promissory note shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the requesting Lender, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder and the type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.15    Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. At any time prior to the Termination Date (but not more than once in any calendar quarter), if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Company may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a “Commitment Increase”), either by designating a Person not theretofore a Lender and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) (each such Person, an “Assuming Lender”) to become a Lender (provided that such new Lender accepts a Revolving Credit Commitment of not less than US$5,000,000) or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased (each such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”). Upon execution and delivery by the Borrowers and each Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender of an instrument of assumption in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank (each an “Assumption Agreement”), such Increasing Lender shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment as therein set forth or such Assuming Lender shall become a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and

NYDOCS02/1166703    54
    



obligations of a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder; provided that (i) the Company shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the other Lenders, (ii) the aggregate amount of each such increase which is effective on any day shall be at least US$25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall at no time exceed US$2,300,000,000 and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such date (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company evidencing the ability of the Company to effect the Commitment Increase (B) an opinion of counsel for the Company (which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto with such modifications as are reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.
Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, within five Business Days in the case of the Base Rate Advances outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto in the case of the Advances comprising each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing then outstanding (but in any event within 45 days), the respective Revolving Credit Advances shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders so that, after giving effect to such reallocation, the Revolving Credit Advances comprising each Revolving Credit Borrowing and continuing into the subsequent Interest Period are funded by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments on such day. Each Revolving Credit Lender (x) agrees that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.3 shall not apply to any additional amounts required to be funded by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 and (y) waives any amounts otherwise payable by any Borrower under Section 2.18 in the event of a reallocation of Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.15 other than on the last day of an Interest Period.
At any time prior to the Termination Date (but not more than once in any calendar quarter), if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Company may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Australian Commitments, either by designating a consenting Lender not theretofore an Australian Lender and acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) to become an Australian Lender (an “Assuming Australian Lender”) (provided that such new Australian Lender accepts an Australian Commitment of not less than US$2,500,000) or by agreeing with an existing Australian Lender that such Lender’s Australian Commitment shall be increased (an “Increasing Australian Lender”). Upon execution and delivery by the Company and each Increasing Australian Lender or Assuming Australian Lender of an instrument of assumption in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall have an Australian Commitment as therein set forth; provided that (i) the Company shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the other Australian Lenders, (ii) the aggregate amount of each such increase which is effective on any day shall be at least US$5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Australian Commitments shall at no time exceed US$215,000,000 and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such date (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company and each Australian Borrower evidencing the ability of the Company and each Australian Borrower to effect increase in the Australian Commitments and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Company and each Australian Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto with such modifications as are reasonably acceptable to the Australian Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Australian Commitments. Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the

NYDOCS02/1166703    55
    



Australian Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect to Australian Advances comprising each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing then outstanding (but in any event within 45 days), the respective Australian Advances shall be reallocated among the Australian Lenders so that, after giving effect to such reallocation, the Australian Advances comprising each Australian Borrowing and continuing into the subsequent Interest Period are funded by the Australian Lenders ratably according to their respective Unused Australian Commitments on such day. Prior to any reallocation and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any payments made to the Australian Lenders shall be made pro rata with respect to their respective Australian Commitments in effect prior to such reallocation. Each Australian Lender (x) agrees that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.3 shall not apply to any additional amounts required to be funded by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 and (y) waives any amounts otherwise payable by any Borrower under Section 2.18 in the event of a reallocation of Australian Advances pursuant to this Section 2.15 other than on the last day of an Interest Period.
Section 2.16    Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to any anniversary of the Restatement Date, the Company, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request an extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled expiration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 30 days prior to such anniversary date, notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the Company in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Termination Date at least 20 days prior to such anniversary date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company not later than 15 days prior to such anniversary date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Company’s request for an extension of the Termination Date.
(a)    If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.16, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable anniversary date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one year. If less than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.16, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date and subject to subsection (d) of this Section 2.16, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the Commitment of such Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.16 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Company, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.18, 8.3, 8.4 and 10.3, and its obligations under Section 7.6, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for any requested extension of the Termination Date.

NYDOCS02/1166703    56
    



(b)    If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.16, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company. The Company may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than US$10,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than US$10,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed or Converted for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, failure to borrow or Convert, or Conversion to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Advance (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Advance that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing or Conversion) at the applicable rate of interest for such Advance provided for herein (excluding loss of margin) over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market (if such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance) or the United States secondary certificate of deposit market (if such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars) for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender). This Section 2.18 shall apply to amounts received by any Lender in respect of the principal portion of the purchase price of Advances that such Lender is required to assign pursuant to Section 8.5 as if such receipt were a prepayment of such Advances.
Section 2.19    Defaulting Lenders.

NYDOCS02/1166703    58
    



(i)    so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and the principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Borrowings shall be ratably reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (“non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made by such non-Defaulting Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders) and outstanding at such time, plus (B) such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares (before giving effect to the reallocation contemplated herein) of the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and of outstanding Swing Line Borrowings, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made by each Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.2(c) that have not been ratably funded by such non-Defaulting Lenders and outstanding at such time, plus (D) such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit and Swing Line Borrowings, does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments.
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit and such Swing Line Borrowings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by paying cash collateral to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swing Line Bank, as applicable, for so long as such Letters of Credit or Swing Line Borrowings are outstanding;
(iii)    if the Ratable Shares of Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares of Letters of Credit; or
(iv)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.6(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.
(b)    So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, and no Swing Line Bank shall be required to fund any Swing Line Advance, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(a), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or Swing Line Borrowings shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
(c)    No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.19, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.19. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are

NYDOCS02/1166703    59
    



in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(d)    If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 7    
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 7.1    Authorization and Authority. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for Section 7.6, (i) the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
Section 7.2    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its

NYDOCS02/1166703    75
    



individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 7.3    Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or as may exist at law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and
(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.5 or 6.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until a Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or

NYDOCS02/1166703    76
    



other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Section 7.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 7.5    Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents (including, without limitation, the Australian Sub-Agent) appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub‑agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub‑agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 7, Section 8.4(b), Section 10.3 and 10.17 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 7.6    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

NYDOCS02/1166703    77
    



(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject, so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, to the approval of such successor Administrative Agent by the Company. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$100,000,000 and which is reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.

ARTICLE 8    
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 8.1    Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Fixed Rate Advances as provided herein; or
(b)    in the case of a Committed Borrowing, Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments under a Facility advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in US Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount of US Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Committed Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided that, if the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above are applicable, the applicable Borrower may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to continue such Advances in such Committed Currency for Interest Periods of not longer than one month, which Advances shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Margin plus, for each Lender, the cost to such Lender (expressed as a rate per annum) of funding its Eurocurrency Rate Advances by whatever means it reasonably determines to be appropriate. Each Lender

NYDOCS02/1166703    81
    



shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such Interest Period).
Section 8.2    Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) to make, maintain, fund or Convert into Eurocurrency Rate Advances and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make or Convert into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Lender shall designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrowers shall immediately Convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance of such Lender into a Base Rate Advance from such Lender in an equal principal amount (on which Advance interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Rate Advances of the other Lenders).
Section 8.3    Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If after (x) the Restatement Date, in the case of any Committed Advance, any obligation to make or Convert Committed Advances or any Letter of Credit or (y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any Competitive Bid Advance, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Advances, any Note that relates to Fixed Rate Advances or its obligation to make or Convert into Fixed Rate Advances and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, maintaining or Converting into any Fixed Rate Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any Note that relates to Fixed Rate Advances (other than an increase in cost or reduction in amount attributable to taxes, which shall solely be governed by Section 8.4), by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),

NYDOCS02/1166703    82
    



each Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction which arise out of its Advances or any Notes.
(a)    If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Restatement Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (including its obligations in respect of participations in Letters of Credit) to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), each Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for the portion of such reduction attributable to its Advances or any Notes.
(b)    Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Restatement Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(c)    For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of this Section 8.3, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority ) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this clause (y) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
Section 8.4    Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower to or for account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if such Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower, shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower

NYDOCS02/1166703    83
    



shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if such a receipt is not usually available, any other document evidencing payment thereof that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(a)    Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Taxes or Other Taxes which would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.4(a) but was not so compensated solely because one or more of the exclusions in Section 8.4(f) applied. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.
(b)    (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and as required thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Company with Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN or W8-IMY or W-ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts such Lender from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Lender or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
(ii)    If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Company, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Company as may be necessary for the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(c)    For any period with respect to which a Lender required to do so has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(a) or (b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of

NYDOCS02/1166703    84
    



withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure, if required, to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(d)    If a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(e)    A payment by a UK Borrower shall not be increased under Section 8.4(a) above by reason of a UK Tax Deduction if, on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or UK Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)     the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and (x) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Borrower making the payment or from the Company a certified copy of that Direction and (y) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(iii)    the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and (x) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the Company and (y) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the Company, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the Company and the relevant UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or
(iv)    the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 8.4(g) below.
(f)    Without limiting the effect of Sections 8.4(c) and (d) above:
(i)    Subject to paragraph (ii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and a UK Borrower making a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

NYDOCS02/1166703    85
    



(ii)    A UK Treaty Lender which (A) is a Lender on the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in the UK Tax Schedule; or (B) is not a Lender on the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the relevant Assignment and Assumption; and, having done so, that Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to paragraph (i) above.
(iii)    If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (ii) above and (a) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or (b) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing but (1) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs, or (2) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a UK Tax Deduction within 30 Business Days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, and in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.
(iv)    If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Loan(s) unless that Lender otherwise agrees.
(v)    A UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.
(vi)    A UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the date of this Agreement gives a UK Tax Confirmation by entering into this Agreement. A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.
(vii)    Each Lender in respect of a UK Borrower which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the Assignment and Assumption which of the following categories it falls in: (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (C) a UK Treaty Lender. If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this paragraph (vii) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Company and each UK Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, any such Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any such failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (vii).

NYDOCS02/1166703    86
    



(viii)    A UK Borrower shall, promptly on becoming aware that it must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall promptly notify the relevant UK Borrower.
(g)    If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Borrower pursuant to Section 8.4(a) or (b) above in respect of payments under this Agreement, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 8.4 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund, deduction or credit, provided, however, that a Borrower that received such refund from a Lender, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay to such Lender the amount paid over to such Borrower if such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to the relevant governmental taxing authority.
(h)    Each Canadian Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Borrowers that it is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect to any amount paid or credited to it pursuant to this Agreement and agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Borrowers immediately in wiring should it become a non-resident of Canada for such purposes.
(i)    Each Australian Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, the Australian Sub-Agent and the Australian Borrower that, for purposes of Australian law in respect of Taxes, either (i) it is not a non-resident of Australia, (ii) it will make all Australian Advances through an Australian permanent establishment, or (iii) it qualifies for an exemption from Australian withholding Taxes under a double tax convention or agreement in respect to any amount paid or credited to it pursuant to this Agreement and agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Australian Borrower immediately in writing in the event that it ceases to meet any of the foregoing conditions.
Section 8.5    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.4, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Bid Advances held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances (other than Competitive Bid Advances), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the

NYDOCS02/1166703    87
    



extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 8.6    VAT.
(a)    All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (each, for the purposes of this Section 8.6, a “Finance Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party). If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): (i) where the Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Recipient must promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply); and (ii) where the Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(b)    Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(c)    In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
Any reference in this Section 8.6 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the

Upon failure by any Subsidiary Borrower to pay punctually any Guaranteed Obligation, the Company shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified herein or in the instrument evidencing such Guaranteed Obligation. “Guaranteed Obligations” means (i) all principal of and interest on all Advances made pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any interest (“Post-Petition Interest”) which accrues (or which would accrue but for such case, proceeding or action) after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Borrower (whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in any such case, proceeding or other action) on all Advances made pursuant to the Credit Agreement), (ii) all other amounts payable by any Borrower from time to time pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes (including any Post-Petition Interest with respect to such amounts), and (iii) any renewals, refinancings or extensions of any of the foregoing (including Post-Petition Interest).
Section 9.2    Guaranty Unconditional. The Company guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, if any, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of the Company under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)    any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c)    any taking, exchange, release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity or unenforceability of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Subsidiary

NYDOCS02/1166703    89
    



Borrower under the this Agreement or any taking, release, reduction of liability or amendment or waiver of, consent to departure from, failure of any other Person to execute or deliver or invalidity or unenforceability of, any other guaranty or surety for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)    any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Subsidiary Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting such Subsidiary Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower contained in this Agreement;
(e)    the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any Subsidiary Borrower, any Beneficiary or any other entity, whether in connection herewith or with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(f)    any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Subsidiary Borrower for any reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Subsidiary Borrower of principal or interest on any Advance made, or any other amount payable, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party; or
(g)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Subsidiary Borrower, any Beneficiary or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Company’s obligations hereunder.
The obligations of the Company under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and pursued against the Company to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Subsidiary Borrower or whether any Subsidiary Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
Section 9.3    Limit of Liability. The Company shall be liable under this Guaranty only for amounts aggregating up to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable law.
Section 9.4    Discharge of Company’s Obligations; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the later of the termination in full of the Commitments and the date on which all the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower or otherwise, the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

NYDOCS02/1166703    90
    



Section 9.5    Waivers by the Company. (a) The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, promptness, diligence, acceleration and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or against any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower.
(a)    The Company irrevocably waives any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Beneficiary that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Company or other rights of the Company to proceed against any Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person.
(b)    The Company irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose to the Company any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Beneficiary.
Section 9.6    Subrogation. Upon making full payment with respect to any obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Borrower with respect to such obligation; provided that the Company shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation so long as any Guaranteed Obligation remains unpaid. The Company also shall not enforce any right of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification it may have against any Subsidiary Borrower with respect to such obligation so long as any Guaranteed Obligation remains unpaid.
Section 9.7    Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower, all such Guaranteed Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Company hereunder forthwith on demand by the Beneficiaries.

Section 10.2    No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 10.3    Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company agrees to pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, including (without duplication) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.
(a)    The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened by any Person (including any Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Advances hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

NYDOCS02/1166703    93
    



(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Advance, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
Section 10.4    No Liability of the Issuing Banks. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the applicable Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse such Issuing Bank if it acts with gross negligence or willful misconduct in accepting such documents as determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 10.5    Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that (a) no such amendment or waiver shall (i) increase or decrease any Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in such Commitments of all applicable Lenders) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Advance, or any fees hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Advance, or any fees hereunder or for the termination of the Commitments, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section 10.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) reduce or limit the obligations of the Company under Section 9.1 hereof or release the Company from its obligations under Article 9 without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive the requirements of Section 2.1(d) to permit the expiration of a Letter of Credit to extend beyond the Termination Date, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or (vii)

NYDOCS02/1166703    94
    



amend or modify Sections 2.13 and 10.6(a) without the written consent of each Lender, (b) any modification or supplement of Article 7 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, (c) any modification or supplement of the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank shall require the consent of such Issuing Bank and (d) any modification or supplement of the rights or duties of any Swing Line Bank shall require the consent of such Swing Line Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Additional Currency Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the other Commitments; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall provide each of the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Lenders of prompt written notice of thereof, all in reasonable detail in respect of any such technical and conforming modifications.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Required Lenders, determined as if such Lender were not a “Lender” hereunder, shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to amendments, modifications, waivers or consents under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under this Section 10.5) to have no Advances or Commitments, shall not be treated as a “Lender” hereunder when performing the computation of Required Lenders and shall have no rights under the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.5; provided that any action taken by the other Lenders with respect to the matters referred to in clause (a) of the preceding paragraph shall not be effective as against such Lender without its consent.
Section 10.6    Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(a)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at the time owing to it (in

NYDOCS02/1166703    95
    



each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case

NYDOCS02/1166703    96
    



of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.
(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its pro rata share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(viii)    SPCs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers the option to fund all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Advance, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) the Borrowers may bring any proceeding against the Granting Lender or the SPC in order to enforce any rights of the Borrowers hereunder. The funding of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper

NYDOCS02/1166703    97
    



dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC. This paragraph may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advance is being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment.
(ix)     UK Borrowers. If (x) a Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or changes its Applicable Lending Office and (y) as a result of circumstances existing at the date of such assignment or change occurs, a UK Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the assignee or Lender acting through its new Applicable Lending Office under Section 8.4, then the assignee or Lender acting through its new Applicable Lending Office shall only be entitled to receive such payment under Section 8.4 to the same extent as the existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Applicable Lending Office would have been had the assignment or change not occurred.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.3 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(b)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company, any Issuing Bank, any Swing Line Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that, regardless of whether the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent is given, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this

NYDOCS02/1166703    98
    



Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.8 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 10.5 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Article 8 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in its rights and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participation Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participation Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103(e) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(d)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 8.3 and 8.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.4 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 8.4(d) as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    Canadian Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, participating interests in, and rights and obligations with respect to, Canadian Advances and Canadian Commitments may be granted or assigned only to Schedule

NYDOCS02/1166703    99

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any action or proceeding brought in any New York State court or in federal court may be made upon the Company at its offices specified in Section 10.1, and such Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company to give any notice of any such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Company to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
Section 10.8    Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement and any Notes issued hereunder constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 10.9    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH BORROWER AND EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 10.10    Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 2.13, 8.3, 8.4 and 10.3, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 7.6, shall survive the repayment of the Advances and the termination of the Commitments.

NYDOCS02/1166703    100
    



Section 10.11    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section or to the consent, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Company, (h) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to prospective assignees of any Lender who agree to hold such information confidential, (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by another party hereto or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower, or (j) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or their obligations under this Agreement or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative or credit insurance transaction relating to any Borrower or its obligations hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 10.12    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (title III of Pub.L.107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.
Section 10.13    Designated Subsidiaries. (a) Designation. (i) The Company may, upon five Business Days prior notice, at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Designation Agreement duly executed by the Company and the respective Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and, as

NYDOCS02/1166703    101
    



such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder; provided that if such Subsidiary is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, the Company shall give 15 days prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by the Company and the identity of the respective Subsidiary. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 10.13, if the designation of such Designated Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it (including, in the case of any Designated Subsidiary that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Designated Subsidiary), the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations or its internal policies.
If the Company shall designate as a Designated Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Designated Subsidiary.
(ii)    As soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days after notice of the designation under Section 10.13(a)(i) of a Designated Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, or whose internal policies, consistently applied, preclude lending to, such Designated Subsidiary (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall, effective on or before the date that such Designated Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) (i) replace such Protesting Lender in accordance with Section 8.5 or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that (x) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (y) such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances (other than Competitive Bid Advances), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” hereunder.
(a)    Termination. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Subsidiary, so long as at the time no Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly, and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from the Company). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Advance hereunder to such Designated Subsidiary.

NYDOCS02/1166703    102
    



Section 10.14    Judgment. (i) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in US Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase US Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(a)    If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Foreign Currency into US Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Foreign Currency with US Dollars at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.
Section 10.15    Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Committed Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi‑national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Company) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Committed Currency had occurred.
Section 10.16    Determinations under Section 2.15, 3.1 and 3.2. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 or clause (iv)(B) of the proviso to Section 2.15, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the date that the Company, by notice to the Lenders, designates as the proposed Restatement Date, the date of the initial Advance to the applicable Designated Subsidiary or the date of the applicable Commitment Increase, as the case may be, specifying its objection thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the occurrence of the Restatement Date, each date of initial Advance to a Designated Subsidiary and each date of a Commitment Increase, as applicable.

NYDOCS02/1166703    103
    



Section 10.17    No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers and/or their Affiliates (the “Borrower Entities”).  Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Borrower Entity, on the other.  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower Entity on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower Entity.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and the process leading thereto.  Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower, in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and the process leading thereto.
Section 10.18    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

NYDOCS02/1166703    104
    



Section 10.19    Effect of Amendment and Restatement. On the Restatement Date, all obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof. Each of the parties hereto confirms that the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement.

Deputy General Counsel for the Company]
October 12, 2018

Citibank, N.A.
as Administrative Agent
Building #3
1615 Brett Road
New Castle, Delaware 19720
The lenders party to the
Credit Agreement referred to
below, as listed on the Commitment Schedule
thereto (the “Lenders”)
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.
US$1,800,000,000 Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Deputy General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and as such have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with its execution and delivery today of the Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company and MMC Treasury Holdings (UK) Limited (“MTHUK” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, providing for loans to be made by the Lenders to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding US$1,800,000,000 at any one time outstanding. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. As used herein, the term “Loan Documents” refers, collectively, to the Credit Agreement and any Notes issued thereunder.
In connection with rendering the opinions expressed below, I or one or more attorneys acting under my general supervision (all references herein to acts taken by me include acts by one or more attorneys acting under my general supervision) have examined the Credit Agreement and the form of Notes, and originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company, such certificates of public officials, and such other documents, and have made such investigations of law, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of such opinions. In all such examinations, I have assumed without investigation the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies, the authenticity of all original or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to me as conformed or reproduction copies. I have relied as to factual matters upon, and have assumed the accuracy of, the statements made in certificates of officers of the Company delivered to me, the representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement,

NYDOCS02/1166703    Exhibit C
Page 1
    



and certificates and other statements or information of or from public officials and officers and representatives of the Company and others. I have also assumed that each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Company, to the extent set forth in the opinions below) (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (iii) has duly and validly authorized its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (iv) has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. I have further assumed that the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower (other than the Company, to the extent set forth in the opinions below) of the Loan Documents to which it is a party does not (i) violate any provision of such Borrower’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents, (ii) except with respect to any existing United States Federal or New York State law, statute, rule or regulation, does not violate any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Borrower or (iii) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or require any consent under, any contract, agreement or instrument binding upon such Borrower. I have further assumed that the Loan Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Borrowers), enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1.    The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2.    The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Credit Agreement and the Notes, if any, and to borrow under the Credit Agreement as provided therein.
3.    The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Credit Agreement and the Notes, if any, and the Company’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and do not: (i) violate (A) any provision of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the amended and restated by-laws of the Company, (B) any existing order, judgment, injunction or decree of any United States Federal or New York State court or governmental agency or body known to me to be binding upon the Company or (C) any existing United States Federal or New York State law, statute, rule or regulation; (ii) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any Applicable Contract; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any Applicable Contract. “Applicable Contracts” means those agreements or instruments identified as (a) Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 through 4.12 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (b) Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

NYDOCS02/1166703    Exhibit C
Page 2
    



4.    The Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
5.    The Credit Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of MTHUK.
6.    To my knowledge, there is no pending or overtly threatened in writing action, suit or proceeding against the Company before any arbitrator, court or other governmental body, agency or official that (i) draws into question the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or (ii) (except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lenders prior to the date hereof, and except for any Specified Claim) if determined adversely to the Company, would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following additional qualifications and assumptions:

(a)
I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York. The opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Federal laws of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law, in each case as currently in effect.

(b)
In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 3 above, I have assumed that borrowings by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement do not cause the Company to exceed any limitations established by its Board of Directors with respect to the Company’s permitted aggregate borrowings.

(c)

OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
FORM OF OPINION OF SHEARMAN & STERLING LLP, SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
October 12, 2018
To the Lenders party to the Credit
Agreement referred to below and to
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), in connection with the Amended and Restated 5 Year Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the other borrowers parties thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”) and each of you. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
In that connection, we have reviewed originals or copies of the following documents:
(a)    The Credit Agreement.
(b)    The Notes executed by the Borrowers and delivered on the date hereof.
The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are collectively referred to herein as the “Opinion Documents.”
We have also reviewed originals or copies of such other agreements and documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinion expressed below.
In our review of the Opinion Documents and other documents, we have assumed:
(A)
The genuineness of all signatures.
(B)
The authenticity of the originals of the documents submitted to us.
(C)
The conformity to authentic originals of any documents submitted to us as copies.

NYDOCS02/1166703    Exhibit D
Page 1
    



(D)
As to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations made in the Credit Agreement.
(E)
That each of the Opinion Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, other than the Borrowers, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms.
(F)
That:
(1)    Each Borrower is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
(2)    Each Borrower has full power to execute, deliver and perform, and has duly executed and delivered, the Opinion Documents to which it is a party.
(3)    The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action (corporate or otherwise) and do not:
(a)    contravene its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents;
(b)    except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to it; or
(c)    result in any conflict with or breach of any agreement or document binding on it of which any addressee hereof has knowledge, has received notice or has reason to know.
(4)    Except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or (to the extent the same is required under any agreement or document binding on it of which an addressee hereof has knowledge, has received notice or has reason to know) any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by any Borrower of any Opinion Document to which it is a party or, if any such authorization, approval, action, notice or filing is required, it has been duly obtained, taken, given or made and is in full force and effect.
We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.
Generally Applicable Law” means the federal law of the United States of America, and the law of the State of New York (including the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto), that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Borrowers, the Opinion Documents or the transactions governed by the Opinion Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing definition of Generally Applicable Law, the term “Generally Applicable Law” does not include any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Borrowers, the Opinion

NYDOCS02/1166703    Exhibit D
Page 2
    



Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Opinion Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.
Based upon the foregoing and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that each Opinion Document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms.
Our opinion expressed above is subject to the following qualifications:
(a)    Our opinion is subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (including without limitation all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and (ii) possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights.
(b)    Our opinion is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c)    We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of indemnification provisions, or of release or exculpation provisions, contained in the Opinion Documents to the extent that enforcement thereof is contrary to public policy regarding the indemnification against or release or exculpation of criminal violations, intentional harm or violations of securities laws.
(d)    We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any indemnity against loss in converting into a specified currency the proceeds or amount of a court judgment in another currency.
(e)    We express no opinion with respect to Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement to the extent that such Section (i) implies that a federal court of the United States has subject matter jurisdiction or (ii) purports to grant any court exclusive jurisdiction.
(f)    We express no opinion as to whether inclusion of the bail-in clause in Section 10.18 of the Credit Agreement or any Bail-In Action under it will be given effect.
(f)    Our opinion is limited to Generally Applicable Law.
A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of you to any person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any such person may rely on the opinion expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such person on the date hereof.
This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you or any person entitled to rely on this opinion pursuant to the preceding paragraph for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
