Subject:    Terms of Employment


Dear Alex:

This letter agreement is intended to set forth the terms of your continued employment by Guy Carpenter & Company LLC (“Guy Carpenter”) 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 20, 2013.

1.
Duties and Responsibilities

You will continue to devote all of your attention and time during working hours to the affairs and business of Guy Carpenter 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, you may not serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees without the prior written consent of Marsh & McLennan Companies.

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. Your base salary includes compensation for all time worked, as well as appropriate consideration for sick days, personal days, and other time off. Your

base salary will be considered for adjustment in succeeding years as part of the Company’s normal performance management process.

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.
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

Furthermore, and notwithstanding any contrary provision in this offer letter or any other plan, award, arrangement or agreement between you and the Company, to the extent necessary to




November 21, 2013

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 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 offer letter 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.
