PREFACE

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) sponsors and maintains the Marsh & McLennan Companies Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) and the Marsh & McLennan Companies Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SRP”) for the benefit of certain employees. BEP and SRP are separate plans with similar administrative and distribution provisions. They are combined and updated in this document (i) for convenience and to avoid unnecessary duplication of provisions and (ii) to reflect changes made by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, use of a single document does not effect a merger of BEP and SRP nor in any way affects the independent operation of BEP and SRP. Accordingly, a participant may be entitled to receive benefits under one of these plans, but not the other.

The Company shall have no obligation under BEP or SRP to make any payments or cause any payments to be made except as may be explicitly provided under either plan. The Company shall, as its sole obligation in connection with BEP and SRP, make benefit payments when due out of its general corporate assets, except to the extent that single premium deferred annuity contracts have previously been purchased in satisfaction of previous benefit obligations under either BEP or SRP.

ARTICLE II

Amendment and Termination

Section 2.1. Rights Reserved.

(a) Subject to Section 2.2 of this Part III, the Board of Directors may at any time amend or terminate any Plan, retroactively or otherwise, provided that such amendment shall not cause either Plan to violate Section 409A of the Code or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. However, no such amendment or termination shall reduce any Participant’s Equalization Benefit and/or Supplemental Benefit determined as though the date of such amendment or termination were the date of his or her Separation from Service. The Chief Executive Officer or any officer designated by him may amend any Plan to the extent permitted under the Employee Benefit Plan Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors as of September 18, 2003, as from time to time amended.

(b) Unless the conditions and circumstances for termination and liquidation of any Plan under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) are satisfied, no more Employees shall become Participants in the effected Plan, benefits under Article 3 of the effected Plan shall cease to accrue and benefits under the effected Plan shall be distributed in accordance with Article 5 of such Plan.

Section 2.2. Restrictions on Action under 2.1. Without the express written consent of the Participant, no action taken by the Board of Directors shall adversely affect a Participant’s (or his or her Qualified Spouse’s) right to receive an Equalization Benefit or Supplemental Benefit upon satisfaction by the Participant and Qualified Spouse of the conditions precedent to entitlement to such a benefit as they exist under the terms of each Plan in effect immediately prior to such action, and at the time and on the terms then in effect.

-55-

Section 2.3. Action to Bind Company. Upon the execution of this document by MMC, each other Company designates MMC as its agent to administer the Plans. Any amendment or termination of a Plan by MMC shall be binding upon each other Company.

Section 2.4. Change in Retirement Plan. If the Retirement Plan shall be amended on or after January 1, 2009 to change in any way the benefits applicable to any Participant or Qualified Spouse or shall be replaced in whole or in part by any successor plan, the provisions of each Plan shall apply based on the provisions of the Retirement Plan as so amended, or such successor plan, which are applicable to such Participant or Qualified Spouse; provided, however, that any change to, or replacement of, the Retirement Plan which may have consequences to a Plan under Section 409A of the Code shall not apply such Plan, unless and until, such Plan is specifically amended to reflect such change or incorporate the terms of the successor plan, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

-56-

ARTICLE III

Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 3.1. Effective Date. Subject to Section 3.2, the amended and restated Plans shall each be effective on January 1, 2009.

Section 3.2. Pre-2009 Operation. For the period commencing January 1, 2005 and ending December 31, 2008, it was intended that the Plans be administered and operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and in accordance with the transition rules provided in IRS Notice 2005-1, IRS Notice 2006-79 and IRS Notice 2007-86, and any actions taken by the Plan Administrator based on good faith reliance or the transition rules are deemed incorporated herein.

Section 3.3. No Duplication of Benefits. Each Plan shall be interpreted in a manner that does result in the duplication of any benefits under such Plan being paid to a Participant, Qualified Spouse, Beneficiary or the Participant’s estate.

Section 3.4. Separability. If any provision of a Plan is held invalid, unenforceable or inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, its invalidity, unenforceability or inconsistency with Section 409A of the Code shall not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and such Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included therein. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, a provision shall be considered invalid if its operation would cause the Retirement Plan to fail to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Section 3.5. Right of Discharge Reserved. The establishment and maintenance of the Plans shall not be construed to confer upon any Employee any legal right to be retained in

-57-

the employ of a Company or give any Employee or any other person any right to benefits, except to the extent expressly provided for hereunder. All Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plans had never been adopted, and may be treated without regard to the effect such treatment may have upon them under the Plans.

Section 3.6. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plans, no Company nor any employee or agent of a Company shall be liable to any Participant, Qualified Spouse or other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plans.

Section 3.7. Governing Law and Limitations on Actions. The Supplemental Plan and to the extent any portion of the Benefit Equalization Plan does not constitute an “excess benefit plan” are intended to constitute arrangements that are unfunded and each is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, all within the meaning of ERISA. All rights under each Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with rules of Federal law applicable to such plans. No action (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) shall be brought by or on behalf of any Participant or Qualified Spouse for or with respect to benefits due under either Plan unless the person bringing such action has timely exhausted the Plan’s claim review procedure. Any action (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) must be commenced within three years. This three (3) year period shall be computed from the earlier of (a) the date a final determination denying such benefit, in whole or in part, is issued under the Plan’s claim review procedure and (b) the date such individual’s cause of action first accrued (as determined under the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of choice of laws).

-58-

Section 3.8. Not Compensation for Other Plans. No compensation payable as a consequence of participation in any of the Plans shall be considered in calculating or determining benefits, coverage or contributions under any employee benefit plan or program, unless otherwise explicitly provided under such plan or program or as otherwise required by applicable law.

The Custodian selected by the Participant holds the SPDA.

the excess, if any, of the –

(i)

product of (A) one minus the Applicable Tax Rate, multiplied by (B) (I) the Participant’s Equalization Benefit (but only with respect to Equalization Benefits that accrued prior to January 1, 2003), minus (except in the case of a SPDA purchased after the Participant’s termination of employment) (II) the Threshold Benefit, over

The Custodian selected by the Participant holds each SPDA.

Each SPDA purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 provides a benefit that, when expressed in the form of a Single Life Annuity to the Participant and after reduction by the Amount of Applicable Taxes, equals:

the excess, if any, of the –

(iii)

product of (A) one minus the Applicable Tax Rate, multiplied by (B) (I) the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit (but only with respect to Supplemental Benefits that accrued prior to January 1, 2003), minus (II) the Participant’s Accrued 1994 Supplemental Benefit and (except in the case of a SPDA purchased after the Participant’s termination of employment), and minus (III) the SRP Threshold Benefit, over

(iv)

the net annual aggregate amount that could be provided at the same time and in the same form, after reduction by the amount of Applicable Taxes on the taxable portion thereof, under the SPDAs, if any, previously purchased in accordance with this Schedule A on behalf of the Participant.

-65-

Section 2.03. (a) Monthly benefits under each SPDA shall commence at the same time, are paid in the same form, and are subject to the same conditions as the Participant’s retirement benefit, or spousal benefit in respect thereof, under the Retirement Plan.

(b) Subject to additional requirements which may be imposed under applicable law, all elections and consents under any SPDA shall be made by each Participant (or beneficiary under the SPDA) in such form and manner and at such time or times as the terms of each SPDA requires.

Section 2.04. Procedures for Custody and Payments Under SPDAs.

(a) The Plan Administrator is obligated to advise the Participant’s Representative of the Participant’s termination of employment and commencement of benefits under the Retirement Plan, whereupon the Participant’s Representative must notify each insurer that has issued a SPDA on behalf of a Participant and take all actions necessary or desirable to commence payments to the Custodian under each SPDA held by the Custodian for the Participant in accordance with its terms.

(b) Each Custody Agreement provides that the Custodian shall collect all payments under a Participant’s SPDAs, withhold and transmit to appropriate taxing authorities in the Jurisdictions all required withholding taxes, and pay the remainder to the Participant, or to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries under the SPDA, as the case may be, all in accordance with the terms of the SPDA and the Custody Agreement.

(c) Each SPDA provides that the issuing insurer shall determine the portion of each SPDA payment that would be taxable by the Jurisdictions to which the Participant is subject. Such determination shall be final and binding for purposes of the Plans. The Committee established uniformly applicable rules and procedures, if and to the extent necessary, to adjust for any situation in which, at any time, the taxable portion (as determined in accordance with the foregoing principles) of a SPDA payment is different with respect to different Jurisdictions.

-66-

Section 2.05. (a) Each time a SPDA was purchased on behalf of a Participant, generally following his termination of employment for any reason other than death, additional Contributions were permitted to be applied by the Company, if necessary, but generally not after December 31, 2002, to purchase insurance on the life of the Participant, the proceeds of which insurance would be payable to the Company, in the event of the Participant’s death before his or her Annuity Starting Date, and applied, as described below, for the benefit of the surviving Qualified Spouse, if any. The amount of such insurance proceeds is required to be at least equal to the excess, if any, of (i) one-half (¹/2) of the value immediately before the Participant’s death of his or her vested interest in the SPDAs purchased on behalf of the Participant during his or her lifetime over (ii) the sum of (A) the value as of the date of the Participant’s death of the pre-retirement survivor annuity, if any, payable under such SPDAs, plus (B) the value (determined as of such date in accordance with the funding methods and assumptions utilized under the Retirement Plan) of a Single Life Annuity that could provide for annual payments to such surviving Qualified Spouse, commencing as soon as practicable after the Participant’s death, in an amount which, after reduction by the amount of Applicable Taxes on the taxable portion thereof (determined as if such Single Life Annuity were provided under such SPDAs) would equal the product of (I) one minus the Applicable Tax Rate, multiplied by (II) the excess, if any, of (x) the Actual Benefit payable to such surviving Qualified Spouse without regard to any pre-retirement survivor annuity elections that may have been made under the Retirement Plan, over (y) the pre-retirement survivor annuity that would be payable to such surviving Qualified Spouse under the Retirement Plan applying the limitations of Section 415 of the Code to such annuity.

-67-

(b) To the extent practicable or required by law, upon such Participant’s death before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the proceeds of any insurance described above shall be applied, through the purchase of an SPDA or otherwise, for the benefit of the surviving Qualified Spouse, if any.

(c) The Plan Administrator may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate to ensure that the appropriate amount of insurance, if any, shall be in force at all times until each Participant’s Annuity Starting Date.

Section 2.06. Rules for Determining Amount of Contributions.

(a) The rules of this Section determined the amount of Contributions that were utilized to purchase an SPDA.

(b) The Participant’s Equalization Benefit, Supplemental Benefit, Formula Benefit and Actual Benefit were determined on the basis of the Participant’s actual age and service and salary history on the applicable SPDA Valuation Date, and on the assumption that benefit payments would commence on the then earliest date retirement benefits under the Retirement Plan could commence to be paid with respect to the Participant and that all necessary retirement and other elections were duly made; provided, however, that the Actual Benefit was also determined, except in the case of an SPDA purchased after termination of employment, on the basis of the projected maximum allowable benefit payable to or in respect of the Participant at such earliest date under the Tax Limitations, as adjusted in accordance with applicable law enacted and not repealed as of the date of such determination, and provided further that such projection was determined by the enrolled actuary regularly engaged for the Retirement Plan or such other actuary chosen by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, and the determination of such actuary was and shall be final and binding on all parties.

-68-

(c) Applicable Taxes and the Applicable Tax Rate were determined on the assumption that the Participant for whom the SPDA was purchased would be subject to the same Jurisdictions when payments under the SPDAs begin as the Jurisdictions to which the Participant is subject when such SPDA was purchased, but taking into account all future changes in income tax rates scheduled, in accordance with applicable law enacted and not repealed as of the date of purchase, to go into effect in such Jurisdictions by the date payments under the SPDAs begin.

(d) The amount of Applicable Taxes was determined by multiplying the Applicable Tax Rate by the taxable portion, as determined by the insurer issuing an SPDA, of each payment that could be provided to the Participant under the SPDAs, and totaling the products thus obtained.

Section 2.07. SPDA Terms.

(a) Each SPDA contains terms consistent with the requirements of each Plan under which an individual is a Participant.

(b) Each SPDA permits payments to be made to the Participant commencing at, but not before, the earliest date the Participant could elect to commence receiving benefits under the Retirement Plan or at any later date, and in any form permitted under the Retirement Plan at the time such SPDA is purchased.

(c) Each SPDA provides that it may not be surrendered, in whole or in part, in exchange for payment of a surrender value.

Section 2.08. Custodian.

(a) Each Participant on behalf of whom an SPDA was purchased under the Benefit Equalization Plan or Supplemental Plan has selected a bank or other financial institution as Custodian to hold all SPDAs purchased on behalf of such Participant, provided that the

-69-

Participant executed a Custody Agreement with such Custodian. A Participant’s selection of a Custodian, and the related Custody Agreement, are subject to approval by the Company, which approval may not have been unreasonably withheld.

(b) The Custodian selected by a Participant holds all SPDAs purchased on behalf of such Participant under the Plans and collects and accumulates payments made under such SPDAs pending the distribution of such payments pursuant to the terms of each Plan. A Participant shall have all rights, title and interests in and to all assets held by the Custodian, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth in each Plan, the Custody Agreement and the SPDAs.

(c) The Company afforded the affected Participants an opportunity to select an individual to serve as each Participant’s Representative to represent such Participant in dealings with the Custodian(s). To the extent that the Plan Administrator has been selected as the Participant’s Representative, all actions taken by the Plan Administrator in his capacity as the Participant’s Representative are and shall be solely as the agent of the Participant and not in any other capacity. The Company pays the reasonable expenses incurred by the Participant’s Representative in the discharge of his duties to the Participant.

Section 2.09. Payment of Tax Withholding.

(a) Within a reasonable time after a Contribution had been used to purchase an SPDA, the Company paid income tax withholding for such Participant, and notified such individual in writing of the amount so paid as soon as possible thereafter but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the close of the Plan Year in which such purchase occurred.

-70-

(b) Such income tax withholding was paid to each Jurisdiction on or before the due date for applicable income tax withholding on wages taxable by such Jurisdiction at the time such Contribution was so used.

(c) Notwithstanding the minimum income tax withholding requirements of such Jurisdiction, the amount of such income tax withholding payment is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of (A) the Contribution plus (B) the amount of such payment by (ii) the Applicable Tax Rate on such date; provided, however, that, if a different withholding payment was required by applicable law, the Plan Administrator, pursuant to uniformly applicable rules and procedures, required appropriate adjustments to any terms of any of the Plans.

Section 2.10. Authorizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has no obligations with respect to any Participant or his Qualified Spouse unless such Participant executes such authorizations, if any, as may be necessary for the income tax withholding payments required by this Article to be made.

Section 2.11. Separate Obligation. The Company’s obligations, if any, to make payments (or to correct or adjust any payment as the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems to be necessary or appropriate) described in this Schedule A are deemed to be direct obligations of the Company, and such obligations do not arise under the separate Plans that are unfunded.

Section 2.12. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule A (other than terms otherwise defined herein) that are defined in a Plan shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
