WILLIS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.     THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

        Willis Group Holdings Limited ("Willis Group Holdings") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") provide a broad range of value-added risk management consulting and insurance brokerage services, both directly and indirectly through its associates, to a diverse base of clients internationally. The Company provides specialized risk management advisory and other services on a global basis to clients in various industries, including the construction, aerospace, marine and energy industries. In its capacity as an advisor and insurance broker, the Company acts as an intermediary between clients and insurance carriers by advising clients on risk management requirements, helping clients determine the best means of managing risk, and negotiating and placing insurance risk with insurance carriers through the Company's global distribution network. The Company also provides other value-added services.

2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

        The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company's management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results that may be incurred for the entire fiscal year.

        The December 31, 2003 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

        Stock-based compensation—The Company accounts for its stock option and stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). Accordingly, the Company computes compensation costs for each employee stock option granted as the amount by which the quoted market price of the Company's shares on the date of the grant exceeds the amount the employee must pay to acquire the shares.

        Had compensation expense for such plans been determined consistent with the fair value method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for

5

---

Stock-Based Compensation, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have been:

3.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The financial risks the Company manages through the use of financial instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company's Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks. The Company has applied SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS 149, in accounting for these financial instruments.

        The fair values of both interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts are recorded in other assets and other liabilities on the balance sheet. For contracts that are qualifying cash flow hedges as defined by SFAS 133, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. For contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting as defined by SFAS 133, changes in fair value are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

6

---

        The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments have been recorded as follows:

4.     INCOME TAXES

        In the third quarter of 2003, certain changes to UK tax legislation were enacted regarding the taxation of employee stock options. When UK-based employees exercise their stock options, the Company obtains a corporate tax deduction equal to the market price of the Company's shares on the date of exercise less the option exercise price paid by the employee. This change largely brought UK tax legislation into line with US tax legislation.

        Non-cash compensation amounting to $123 million in respect of UK performance options was expensed in periods prior to June 30, 2003 without any income tax benefit being recognized. Accordingly, following the change in UK tax legislation, an income tax benefit of $37 million, and a corresponding deferred asset, were recognized in the third quarter of 2003. Of the $37 million, $2 million related to the first six months of 2003.

5.     PENSIONS PLANS

        The components of the net periodic benefit cost (income) of the UK and US defined benefit plans are as follows:

7

---

        As of September 30, 2004, the Company had paid contributions of $23 million to the UK plan and $20 million to the US plan. The Company expects to contribute a further $7 million to the UK plan in the fourth quarter of 2004.

6.     NET INCOME PER SHARE

        Basic and diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the average number of shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issue of shares that then shared in the net income of the Company.

        At September 30, 2004, time-based and performance-based options to purchase 18.0 million and 5.2 million (2003: 19.2 million and 8.1 million) shares, respectively, and 0.5 million restricted shares (2003: 0.4 million), were outstanding. Basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

        Options to purchase 5.1 million shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 were not included in the computation of the dilutive effect of stock options because the effect was antidilutive (2003: nil).

8

---

7.     LONG-TERM DEBT

        Long-term debt consists of the following:

        On December 4, 2003, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing a $450 million term loan facility and a $150 million revolving credit facility. $150 million of the term loan facility matures on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the agreement. The revolving credit facility is available until December 4, 2008.

        On February 2, 2004, the Company redeemed all the outstanding 9% senior subordinated notes at a redemption price of 104.5%. On the same day, the Company drew down $300 million of term loans under the senior credit facility. The remaining $150 million under the senior credit facility was drawn down on June 1, 2004.

        At September 30, 2004, there remained undrawn $150 million under the revolving credit facility.

8.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Regulatory and Other Proceedings Relating to Contingent Compensation Arrangements—Beginning in April 2004, the New York Attorney General issued subpoenas to a number of insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms, including the Company. These subpoenas requested information regarding, among other things, arrangements pursuant to which insurers compensated insurance brokers for distribution and other services provided to insurers. The New York Department of Insurance also requested information concerning these compensation arrangements. In October 2004, the New York Attorney General filed suit against one of the insurance brokers, accusing that broker of steering clients to insurers with which it has these compensation arrangements and of soliciting false or fictitious quotes from insurers (the "NY AG Complaint"). The New York Attorney General has stated publicly that he has broadened his investigation of the insurance industry to cover other practices and other possible violations of law, including violations of fiduciary duty, securities laws, and antitrust laws. The New York Attorney General has also publicly stated that civil and criminal charges may be filed against both individuals and other industry participants. After the New York Attorney General commenced his investigation, insurance commissioners and attorneys general of other states have announced that they are conducting similar investigations and have issued subpoenas to a number of insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms, including the Company. The Company is co-operating fully with these investigations and is producing documents and other information in response to these subpoenas.

        In August 2004, a state court proceeding was commenced against the Company in California by an organization purporting to act in a representative capacity on behalf of the California general public. The complaint alleges that the compensation arrangements between the Company and insurance carriers constitute deceptive trade practices, and it seeks both injunctive and equitable relief, including restitution. A purported class action has also been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming various insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms,

including the Company, as defendants. The complaint alleges conduct by the defendants similar to the conduct alleged in the NY AG Complaint and also alleges, among other things, the existence of a conspiracy among the insurance carriers and brokers whereby they have engaged in violations of the federal RICO statute. It is expected that further lawsuits may be filed. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions.

        The compensation arrangements, which were initially the subject of the investigation by the New York Attorney General, are a longstanding and common practice within the insurance industry and have been disclosed by the Company. On October 21, 2004, the Company announced that it was voluntarily abolishing these compensation arrangements immediately in North America and by December 31, 2004 outside North America. It is not possible at this time to predict what the ultimate outcome of these proceedings or any possible future proceedings may be. On the basis of current information, the Company does not expect that such proceedings will ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

        Other Claims, Lawsuits and Proceedings—The Company is subject to various actual and potential claims, lawsuits and proceedings relating principally to alleged errors and omissions in connection with the placement of insurance and reinsurance in the ordinary course of business. Similar to other corporations, the Company is also subject to a variety of other claims, including those relating to the Company's employment practices. Some of those claims, lawsuits and proceedings seek damages in amounts which could, if assessed, be significant.

        Most of these other claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business are covered by professional indemnity or other appropriate insurance. In respect of self-insured deductibles, the Company has established provisions against these items which are believed to be adequate in the light of current information and legal advice, and the Company adjusts such provisions from time to time according to developments. On the basis of current information, the Company does not expect that the outcome of these other claims, lawsuits and proceedings to which the Company is subject or of which it is aware will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

        Supplemental disclosures regarding cash flow information and non-cash flow investing and financing activities are as follows:

10.   ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

        The components of comprehensive income are as follows:

---

        The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:

11.   COMMON STOCK

        On July 23, 2003, the Board of Directors authorized an open-ended plan to purchase, from time to time in the open market or through negotiated trades with persons who are not affiliates of the Company, shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate purchase price of up to $100 million. On February 4, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorization to $300 million. This was further increased to $500 million as announced on September 8, 2004. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company repurchased 9.0 million shares for a total consideration of $327 million, of which $311 million had been settled by September 30, 2004. Repurchased shares were subsequently cancelled.

12.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The Company conducts its worldwide insurance brokerage activities through three operating segments: Global, North America and International. Each operating segment exhibits similar economic characteristics, provides similar products and services and distributes same through common distribution channels to a common type of class of customer. In addition, the regulatory environment in each region is similar. Consequently, for financial reporting purposes the Company has aggregated these three operating segments into one reportable segment.

13.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

("Willis North America") debt securities registered in April 2003 will be, if issued, jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Willis Group Holdings, Willis Group Limited, Trinity Acquisition Limited, TA I Limited, TA II Limited, TA III Limited and TA IV Limited.

Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Results

        Revenues for third quarter 2004 increased by 8% to $490 million compared with third quarter 2003. Net new business growth across all businesses generated approximately 4% of this increase, with 2% attributable to foreign currency translation and 2% to the net effects of acquisitions and disposals. For the nine months to September 30, 2004, revenues increased by 13% compared with the corresponding period of 2003, with approximately 6% coming from net new business growth, 4% from the effects of foreign currency translation and 3% from the net effect of acquisitions and disposals.

        Our operating margin was 22.2% in third quarter 2004, compared with 23.4% in the corresponding period of 2003. Excluding non-cash compensation charges for performance-based stock options and gains on disposal of operations, our operating margin was 23.1% in third quarter 2004, compared with 23.0% a year ago. For the first nine months of 2004, our operating margin was 29.4%, up from 28.6% in the corresponding period of 2003. Excluding non-cash compensation charges for performance-based stock options and gains on disposal of operations, our operating margin was 29.7% in the first nine months of 2004, up from 29.0% a year ago.

        Net income per diluted share in third quarter 2004 was 24% lower than in the corresponding period of 2003 which benefited from a $37 million tax adjustment following a change in UK tax legislation. Excluding non-cash compensation charges for performance-based stock options, gains on disposal of operations and the one-time tax benefit, third quarter 2004 net income per diluted share was up 24% compared with third quarter 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net income per diluted share was up 8% over the corresponding period of 2003 on a reported basis and 25% excluding non-cash compensation charges for performance-based stock options, gains on disposal of operations, the one-time tax benefit and a non-recurring premium paid on the redemption of subordinated debt in February 2004.

        On June 23, 2004 we announced agreement in principle to acquire a 56% shareholding in Coyle Hamilton, the Republic of Ireland's largest privately owned insurance broker with annualized revenues of approximately $60 million. We completed the acquisition on October 1, 2004 and have options to acquire the remaining 44% of Coyle Hamilton in 2007 and 2009. On August 17, 2004 we announced that we had final approval and certification for our joint venture operation, Willis Pudong Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd., to engage in insurance and reinsurance broking activities throughout the People's Republic of China.

        During the quarter, we repurchased 3,474,200 shares of our common stock at a cost of $124 million, bringing our total repurchases in the nine months to September 30, 2004 to 8,974,200 shares of common stock at a cost of $327 million. On September 8, 2004, we announced an increase in the authorization limit of the share repurchase program to $500 million.

Impact of abolishing volume and profit-related commissions and future outlook

        On October 21, 2004 we announced that we were abolishing volume and profit-related commissions and restructuring other market-related arrangements with insurers. In North America, we discontinued these commissions as of October 21, 2004 and outside North America we are discontinuing these commission arrangements by December 31, 2004. We had anticipated that we would receive some $160 million in total market derived revenues for fiscal 2004: $80 million of predominantly volume and profit-related contingent commissions and $80 million of other market service revenues. Of the $80 million of volume and profit-related revenues, we had recognized $50 million in the first nine months of 2004. Our decision could therefore reduce full year 2004

29

---

revenues by approximately $30 million, pre-tax, or $0.12 per diluted share. Because the situation is developing rapidly, the actual impact on 2004 could be more or less than these estimates.

        In the rapidly changing industry environment, we see new opportunities to enhance our global market share, especially with middle market and large accounts. Our efforts to grow market share will include increased marketing, aggressive targeting of new accounts and continued hiring of new business producers and other staff.

Regulatory and other proceedings relating to contingent compensation arrangements

        See Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates

        The accounting estimates or assumptions that management considers to be the most important to the presentation of the Company's financial condition or operating performance were discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. There were no significant additions or changes to these estimates or assumptions in the first nine months of 2004.

Revenues

        Premium rates continued to decline across most lines of insurance during the quarter. However, there are signs that some risk managers are beginning to take advantage of lower premium rates to buy more coverage. Despite the tough business environment, all our divisions reported growth in their third quarter 2004 revenues compared with third quarter 2003 and for year-to-date revenues compared with last year.

        Our Global and International divisions earn significant revenues in currencies other than the US dollar: in 2004, reported revenues in our Global and International divisions benefited from the impact of foreign currency translation, largely as a result of both the euro and sterling strengthening against the dollar. In International, this benefit was partly offset by the strength of the dollar relative to Latin American currencies throughout 2004.

30

---

        Acquisitions and disposals led to a 15% increase in International's third quarter 2004 revenue compared with the prior year. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of a controlling interest in Willis A/S, our Danish subsidiary, which was consolidated from January 1, 2004.

⁽¹⁾

Following a change to our reporting structure effective July 1, 2004, North America revenues of $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were reclassified as Global revenues. The comparative figures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 were $19 million and $52 million, respectively.

        Global:    Net new business growth in our Global business of 2% in third quarter 2004 and 4% in the first nine months of 2004 reflected good performances by all business units despite noticeable downward pressure on premium rates.

        North America:    Net new business growth in our North America business of 4% in third quarter 2004 and 7% in the first nine months of 2004 was attributable to solid contributions from our middle market, large account and specialty practices (notably executive risk, employee benefits and construction). There was a modest negative impact from premium rates. Premium rates are down 10 to 20% on average, but we are working hard to keep fees and commission rates steady in monetary terms thereby mitigating the impact of falling premium rates on our revenues.

        International:    Net new business growth in our International business of 8% in third quarter 2004 and 10% in the first nine months of 2004 was driven by good performances in Asia and Latin America. There was a modest negative impact from premium rates on average, although the effect varied by country and by line of business.

Expenses

        General and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash compensation for performance-based stock options) were $365 million in third quarter 2004, up 8% from the third quarter of 2003. Approximately 4% of the reported increase was attributable to foreign currency translation and 4% to the net effect of acquisitions and disposals. Adjusting for these items, general and administrative expenses in third quarter 2004 were broadly in line with the corresponding period of 2003 as we maintained expense discipline. Salaries and benefits, including incentive-based compensation, remained relatively steady at 50% on a trailing twelve month basis but amounted to 56% of revenues in third quarter 2004, our lowest revenue quarter on a cyclical basis.

31

---

        For the nine months to September 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses were 11% higher than in 2003 but only 3% higher after excluding the effects of acquisitions and disposals, 3%, and foreign currency translation, 5%.

        We recorded a non-cash charge for performance-based stock options of $4 million in third quarter 2004 and $10 million in the nine months compared with $4 million and $17 million in the same periods a year ago. This charge recognizes performance-based stock options granted to management for exceeding 2001 and 2002 performance targets. On a cumulative basis as at September 30, 2004, we had recognized $268 million, or approximately 98%, of the estimated total charge. The remaining charge of approximately $4 million will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2004, when substantially all performance options will have vested.

Operating income

        Operating income increased by 3% to $109 million in third quarter 2004 and by 16% to $496 million in the first nine months of 2004. Excluding the non-cash compensation charge for performance-based stock options ($4 million in third quarter 2004 and $4 million in the third quarter of 2003) and gains on disposal of operations ($nil in third quarter 2004 and $6 million in the third quarter of 2003), operating income increased by 9% to $113 million in third quarter 2004 compared to the third quarter of 2003. Excluding the non-cash compensation charge for performance-based stock options and the gains on disposal of operations, operating income increased by 15% to $501 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with the first nine months of 2003. We use operating income excluding non-cash compensation and gains on disposals as a measure of cash generated by the businesses.

Interest expense

        Interest expense was $6 million in third quarter 2004 and $15 million in the nine months compared with $12 million and $40 million in the corresponding periods a year ago, reflecting lower average debt during the first nine months of 2004 and lower interest rates on our new borrowing facilities.

Income taxes

        Income tax expense for third quarter 2004 amounted to $31 million and $155 million for the nine months to September 30, 2004. Through June 30, 2004, the company estimated an underlying full year tax rate of 34%. However, due to the actual geographic mix of our results, the full year's effective tax rate in 2004 is now estimated to be 33%.

        In the third quarter of 2003, certain changes to UK tax legislation were enacted regarding the taxation of employee stock options. When UK-based employees exercise stock options, the Company obtains a corporate tax deduction equal to the market price of the Company's shares on the date of exercise less the option exercise price paid by the employee. Consequently, a one-time income tax benefit of $37 million, and a corresponding deferred asset, was recognized in the third quarter of 2003.

Net income

        Net income in third quarter 2004 fell by 24% to $75 million ($0.45 per diluted share) from $99 million ($0.59 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2003 which benefited from a $37 million one-time income tax benefit arising from changes in UK tax legislation regarding the taxation of employee stock options. Excluding the non-cash charge for performance options ($2 million net of tax in third quarter 2004 and $3 million in the third quarter of 2003), the net gain on disposal of operations ($nil net of tax in third quarter 2004 and $3 million in third quarter 2003) and the one-time income tax benefit of $37 million in third quarter 2003, net income increased by 24% to $77 million

32

---

from $62 million in third quarter 2003 and net income per diluted share rose by 24% to $0.46 from $0.37 a year ago.

        For the nine months, net income increased by 8% to $319 million ($1.89 per diluted share) from $296 million ($1.75 per diluted share) in the corresponding period of 2003. Excluding the non-cash charge for performance options ($7 million net of tax in the first nine months of 2004 and $14 million in the first nine months of 2003), the net gain on disposal of operations ($3 million net of tax in the first nine months of 2004 and $6 million in the first nine months of 2003), the one-time income tax benefit of $37 million in the first nine months of 2003, and a $10 million net of tax premium paid on the redemption of subordinated debt, net income increased by 25% to $333 million ($1.97 per diluted share) from $267 million ($1.58 per diluted share) in the corresponding period of 2003. Foreign currency translation added approximately $0.01 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2004 and had no impact in third quarter 2004. Acquisitions added approximately $0.02 per diluted share when compared with the first nine months of 2003 and had no impact when compared with third quarter 2003. The change in the underlying tax rate from 34% to 33% added $0.03 per diluted share in third quarter 2004 and $0.03 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2004.

Liquidity and capital resources

        On February 2, 2004, we redeemed all the $370 million then outstanding of our 9% Senior Subordinated Notes. To finance the repayment, we drew down $300 million of bank loans under our senior credit facility with the remaining balance of $70 million and call premium of $17 million being financed using cash from operations. On June 1, 2004, we drew down the remaining $150 million of bank loans in accordance with our credit facility arrangements.

        During 2004, we began a program of share buy backs. In third quarter 2004 we repurchased and subsequently cancelled 3,474,200 shares of common stock at a cost of $124 million. The total repurchases under the program at September 30, 2004 were 8,974,200 shares of common stock at a cost of $327 million. On September 8, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorization limit of our share repurchase program to $500 million.

        Net cash provided by operations, which excludes fiduciary cash movements, was $319 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $323 million in the first nine months of 2003.

        Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $108 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $123 million in the first nine months of 2003. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003, less the proceeds from disposals of fixed assets, were $30 million and $36 million, respectively. Capital expenditure in 2004 related primarily to information technology systems and continues to be managed in a disciplined manner with future information technology expenditures not being committed ahead of cash generation.

        Cash used for acquisitions in the first nine months of 2004 amounted to $78 million (net of cash acquired), relating to an additional 70% interest in Willis A/S in Denmark, the acquisition of two reinsurance businesses in Denmark and Italy and an additional 20% interest in our retail operation in Argentina.

        Cash used in financing activities amounted to $303 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $138 million in the corresponding period of 2003, reflecting the redemption of our subordinated debt and repurchase of our shares as described above. The cash dividends paid during the first nine months of 2004 were $85 million compared with $38 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

        As of September 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $270 million. We expect that internally generated funds will continue to meet our operating cash requirements, capital expenditures

33

---

and dividend payments. Additionally our undrawn $150 million revolving credit facility gives us significant future financial flexibility.

        As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, we will become subject to new regulations in the UK in January 2005 regarding fiduciary funds held by insurance intermediaries. These regulations will require fiduciary funds to be held in designated trust accounts, restrict the financial instruments in which such funds may be invested and affect the timing of transferring commissions from fiduciary funds to own funds.

        We intend to phase in the new regulations so that we will be in full compliance by January 2005. As a consequence, we currently expect that the cash held in own funds in January 2005 will be approximately $150 million to $200 million lower than it would otherwise have been as a result of the one-time effect of the new regulations. Thereafter, we do not expect any significant impact on our cash flow from operating activities on a full-year basis.

Contractual obligations

        Apart from the redemption of the 9% Senior Subordinated Notes amounting to $370 million in February 2004, and the draw down of $450 million of term loans, as described in Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2003.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

        Disclosures regarding commitments and contingencies are given in Note 8 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Our policy is to minimize our exposure to increases in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. During the second quarter of 2004, we entered into interest rate swaps to convert the variable rate of interest on our $450 million bank loan to reflect a fixed rate of interest until December 2006.

        Apart from the above, there has been no material change with respect to market risk from that described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

        Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls, as of September 30, 2004, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be included in the Company's filings or submissions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is made known to them in a timely fashion.

        There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

        Regulatory and Other Proceedings Relating to Contingent Compensation Arrangements—Beginning in April 2004, the New York Attorney General issued subpoenas to a number of insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms, including the Company. These subpoenas requested information regarding, among other things, arrangements pursuant to which insurers compensated insurance brokers for distribution and other services provided to insurers. The New York Department of Insurance also requested information concerning these compensation arrangements. In October 2004, the New York Attorney General filed suit against one of the insurance brokers, accusing that broker of steering clients to insurers with which it has these compensation arrangements and of soliciting false or fictitious quotes from insurers (the "NY AG Complaint"). The New York Attorney General has stated publicly that he has broadened his investigation of the insurance industry to cover other practices and other possible violations of law, including violations of fiduciary duty, securities laws, and antitrust laws. The New York Attorney General has also publicly stated that civil and criminal charges may be filed against both individuals and other industry participants. After the New York Attorney General commenced his investigation, insurance commissioners and attorneys general of other states have announced that they are conducting similar investigations and have issued subpoenas to a number of insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms, including the Company. The Company is co-operating fully with these investigations and is producing documents and other information in response to these subpoenas.

        In August 2004, a state court proceeding was commenced against the Company in California by an organization purporting to act in a representative capacity on behalf of the California general public. The complaint alleges that the compensation arrangements between the Company and insurance carriers constitute deceptive trade practices, and it seeks both injunctive and equitable relief, including restitution. A purported class action has also been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming various insurance carriers and insurance brokerage firms, including the Company, as defendants. The complaint alleges conduct by the defendants similar to the conduct alleged in the NY AG Complaint and also alleges, among other things, the existence of a conspiracy among the insurance carriers and brokers whereby they have engaged in violations of the federal RICO statute. It is expected that further lawsuits may be filed. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions.

        The compensation arrangements, which were initially the subject of the investigation by the New York Attorney General, are a longstanding and common practice within the insurance industry and have been disclosed by the Company. On October 21, 2004, the Company announced that it was voluntarily abolishing these compensation arrangements immediately in North America and by December 31, 2004 outside North America. It is not possible at this time to predict what the ultimate outcome of these proceedings or any possible future proceedings may be. On the basis of current information, the Company does not expect that such proceedings will ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

        During the period January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2004 the Company issued a total of 1,365,377 shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption under Section 4(2) of such Act relating to sales by an issuer not involving a public offering, none of which involved the sale of more than 1% of the outstanding common stock of the

        (b)   The Employer shall credit to the Account of a Participant an amount equal to the amount designated in the Participant's Deferral Election as his or her Base Salary Deferral for that Plan Year. Such amounts shall not be made available to such Participant, except as provided in ARTICLE VII, and shall reduce such Participant's Compensation from the Employer in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Deferral Election; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be subject to the rights of the general creditors of the Employer as provided in ARTICLE IX.

        (c)   Each Eligible Employee shall deliver a Deferral Election to the Employer before any Base Salary Deferral can become effective. Such Deferral Election shall be void with respect to any Base Salary Deferral unless submitted on or before December 31 of the preceding calendar year during which the amount to be deferred will be earned; provided, however, that in the year in which the Plan is first adopted or an Employee is first eligible to participate, such Deferral Election shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Plan is adopted or the date on which an Employee is first eligible to participate, respectively, with respect to Base Salary earned for the remainder of the calendar year subsequent to the date the Deferral Election is delivered to the Employer.

        (c)   The Deferral Election shall, subject to the limitation set forth in section 4.2 hereof, designate the portion and period of deferral of Bonus/Incentive Pay deferred by each Participant, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Participant, the timing and form of payment of distribution and such other information as the Administrator shall prescribe.

Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, or pursuant to an Employment Agreement with Employer, Employer Awards, and any earnings (or losses) on the investment of such amounts, shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule established at the time a contribution is made; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be subject to the rights of the general creditors of the Employer as provided in ARTICLE IX.

        (b)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who has a Separation from Service due to death or Total and Permanent Disability shall be fully vested in the amounts credited to his or her Account.

        (c)   Except as provided in (b) above, any amounts credited to a Participant's Account that are not vested at the time of his or her Separation from Service with the Employer shall be forfeited.

ARTICLE VI

Accounts

        6.1    Accounts.    

        (a)   The Administrator shall establish and maintain a bookkeeping account in the name of each Participant. The Administrator may also establish any subaccounts that it feels may be appropriate. The accounts specified in this Article 6.1 are established under the Plan to record the liability of the Corporation to Participants. All accounts may be maintained on the books of the Corporation, and the Corporation is under no obligation to segregate assets to provide for these liabilities. Should the Corporation elect to segregate assets into a trust fund pursuant to article 6.1(d) herein, the accounts specified in this article 6.1(a) may be maintained on the books of such fund.

        (b)   Each Participant's Account balance shall reflect his or her aggregate deferrals, amounts credited pursuant to an Employment Agreement with Employer or pursuant to an Employer Award, and any earnings (or losses) attributable to such amounts, and shall be reduced by administrative, investment, and other fees necessary for the administration of the Plan which are not the obligation of the Employer. Each Participant's Account also shall be reduced by any distributions made plus any expenses allocated to the Plan pursuant to section 11.8 herein.

        (c)   At the sole discretion of the Administrator, any amount (including deferrals and earnings or losses thereon) credited to a bookkeeping account on behalf of Participant with respect to any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement maintained by the Employer shall be reflected in Participant's Account pursuant to the Plan whereupon the other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement shall cease and terminate with respect to such Participant.

        (d)   The Corporation may, but is not required to establish a Trust Fund and make contributions to it corresponding to any or all amounts accrued under Articles 4 or 6 of the Plan. These contributions are credited with income, expense, gains and losses in accordance with the investment experience of the Trust Fund. The Administrator may direct the trustee to establish investment funds within the Trust Fund and to permit Participants to direct the allocation of their account balances among the funds in accordance with rules prescribed by the Administrator. The Administrator may alter the available funds or the procedures for allocating account balances among them at any time.

9

---

        (e)   Status of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all assets of the Trust Fund remain the property of the Corporation and are subject to the claims of its creditors in accordance with the Trust terms. No participant has any priority claim on Trust assets or any security interest or other rights in or to them superior to the rights of general creditors of the Corporation.

        6.2    Investments, Gains & Losses.    

        (a)   The amount in each Participant's Account shall be deemed to be invested and reinvested, as designated by the Participant as provided in subsection (b), below, in one or more of the mutual funds designated by the Administrator and set forth on the Deferral Election, hereunder referred to as the "Investment Option".

        (b)   Each participant shall designate how his or her deferrals and, if applicable, any Employer Award are to be allocated among the available Investment Options established by the Plan. The initial allocation with respect to deferrals shall be made by the Participant in the Deferral Election with respect to the Base Salary Deferral and Bonus/Incentive Pay Deferral. Once made, an investment allocation request shall remain in effect for all subsequent deferrals, including any Employer Awards, until changed by the Participant. Each Participant may change his or her investment allocation in such manner and at such times as permitted by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

        (c)   The Employer shall not be required to purchase an interest in the Investment Option designated by the Participant. The only obligation of the Employer is its contractual obligation to make payments to Participants as set forth in the Plan. To the extent that the Employer does, in its discretion, purchase an interest in an Investment Option designated by a Participant, the same shall remain the sole property of the Employer, subject to the claims of its general creditors, and shall not be a part of nor deemed to be a part of the Participant's Account.

        (d)   Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, other than otherwise provided in an Employment Agreement, if any Participant is Terminated for Cause at any time or voluntarily resigns from the employ of the Employer within three (3) years from the date that such Participant submitted his or her first Deferral Election agreeing to participate in the Plan, the amount of benefits due the Participant under the Plan with respect to deferral elections shall be no greater than the sum of the amounts deferred by the Participant plus the lesser of: (i) the earnings (or losses) allocable to Participant based on the Investment Option(s) designated by Participant in his or her Deferral Election(s), or (ii) interest accrued on the amounts deferred (from the effective date of each deferral) at a fixed rate equal to the one (1) year U.S. Treasury rate in effect, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, on the date that the Participant is Terminated for Cause or voluntarily resigns.

        6.3    Employer Award.    The Employer may make, at its sole discretion, an Employer Award to the account of a Participant which vests under such terms and conditions as the Employer, in its sole discretion, determines at the time of such Employer Award.

ARTICLE VII

Distributions

        7.1    Distribution Eligibility.    Distribution of benefits from the Plan shall be made no earlier than (i) the Participant's Separation from Service or, in the case of Key Employees, six months following their Separation from Service, (ii) the date selected as an In-Service Distribution, (iii) in the event of an approved financial hardship due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, or (iv) solely with respect to amounts attributable to an Employer Award, at such time and in such manner as designated in such Employer Award, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code.

        7.2    Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Emergency.    A participant may request a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency by submitting a written request to the Administrator accompanied by evidence to demonstrate that the circumstances being experienced qualify as an Unforeseeable

10

---

Emergency. The Administrator shall have the authority to require such evidence as it deems necessary to determine if a distribution is warranted and has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency If an application for a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency is approved, the distribution is limited to an amount sufficient to meet the emergency net of applicable withholding taxes. The approved distribution shall be payable in a method determined by the Administrator as soon as possible after approval of such distribution.

        A Participant who has commenced receiving installment payments in accordance with the provisions of section 7.3 hereof, may request acceleration of such payments in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator may permit accelerated payments to the extent such accelerated payment is permitted under Section 409A of the Code and does not exceed the amount necessary to meet the emergency and pay any applicable taxes.

        7.3    Distribution Payments.    

        (a)   Form of Retirement or Disability Distributions.    Distributions resulting from a Separation from Service on account of Retirement or Total and Permanent Disability shall be payable to the Participant or beneficiary in cash in either one lump-sum or in five (5) annual installments (on a pro rata basis) as elected by the Participant or beneficiary at the time of his Deferral Election.

        (b)   Other Distributions.    Distributions resulting from a Separation from Service for any reason other than Retirement or Total and Permanent Disability shall be paid in one lump-sum. In-Service distributions shall be made in such permitted form and commence at such permitted time as designated by Participant in his/her Deferral Election.

        (c)   Commencement of Distributions Due to Separation from Service.    Distribution of benefits to a Participant under the Plan shall commence as early as administratively feasible, but in any event, no later than sixty (60) days after there is a Separation from Service or in which a Participant is eligible for an In-Service Distribution; provided, however that in the case of Key Employees, such Distribution shall not commence until after six (6) months from the Separation from Service.

        (d)   Commencement of Distributions Of Employer Award.    An Employer Award, after taking into account any earnings (or losses) attributable thereto in such amounts and at such time as designated in the respective Employer Award.

        7.4    Change of Timing or Form of Distribution.    A Participant may elect to delay the timing of receipt and/or the form of a distribution provided that the new Deferral Election (1) is not effective for at least twelve (12) months; (2) is made at least twelve (12) months prior to a scheduled distribution; and (3) provides for a deferral for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such distribution would otherwise have been made. If a Participant does elect to delay a distribution, a distribution cannot be made pursuant to a Separation from Service or Retirement if such Separation from Service or Retirement occurs before the end of the five (5) year period beginning on the date such distribution would have otherwise have been made, and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE VIII

Beneficiaries

        8.1    Beneficiaries.    Each Participant may from time to time designate one or more persons as his or her Beneficiary under the Plan. Such designation shall be made by filing a written notice of such designation with the Administrator on a form prescribed by the Administrator. Each Participant may at any time and from time to time, revoke or modify any previous beneficiary designation, without notice to or consent of any previously designated Beneficiary, by a further written designation. In the event a Beneficiary dies before receiving all the payments due to such beneficiary pursuant to this Plan, the

11

Funding

        9.1    Prohibition Against Funding.    This Plan is unfunded both for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Should any investment be acquired in connection with the liabilities assumed under this Plan, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Participants and beneficiaries shall not have any right with respect to, or claim against, such assets nor shall any such purchase be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Employer and the Participants, their beneficiaries or any other person. Any such assets (including any amounts deferred by a Participant or contributed by the Employers pursuant to ARTICLE IV) shall be and remain a part of the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer, subject to the claims of its general creditors. Each Participant and beneficiary shall be required to look to the provisions of this Plan and to the Employer itself for enforcement of any and all benefits due under this Plan, and to the extent any such person acquires a right to receive payment under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer. The Employer shall be designated owner and beneficiary of investments acquired in connection with its obligation under this Plan.

        9.2    Withholding of Employee Contributions.    The Administrator is authorized to make any and all necessary arrangements with the Employer in order to withhold the Participant's Base Salary Deferrals under section 4.1 hereof and/or Bonus/Incentive Pay Deferrals under section 4.2 hereof from his or her pay. The Administrator shall determine the amount and timing of such withholding.

ARTICLE X

Benefit Plans

        10.1    Benefit Plans.    The amount of each Participant's Base Salary and/or Bonus/Incentive Pay which he or she elects to defer under the Plan shall not be deemed to be compensation for the purpose of calculating the amount of a Participant's benefits or contributions under a pension plan or retirement plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code.

ARTICLE XI

General Provisions

        11.1    Administrator.    

        (a)   Except as provided by an Employment Agreement with Employer, the Administrator is expressly empowered to limit the amount of Compensation that may be deferred; to interpret the Plan, and to determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan; to employ actuaries, accountants, counsel, and other persons it deems necessary in connection with the administration of the Plan; to request any information from the Employer it deems necessary to determine whether the Employer would be considered insolvent or subject to a proceeding in bankruptcy; and to take all other necessary and proper actions to fulfill its duties as Administrator.

The Administrator is relieved of all responsibility in connection with its duties hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law, short of breach of duty to the beneficiaries.

        11.2    No Assignment.    Benefits or payments under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall not be valid, nor shall any such benefit or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagement or torts of any Participant or beneficiary, or any other person entitled to such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, except to such extent as may be required by law. If any Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to a benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any benefit or payment under this Plan, in whole or in part, or if any attempt is made to subject any such benefit or payment, in whole or in part, to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to any such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, then such benefit or payment, in the discretion of the Administrator, shall cease and terminate with respect to such Participant or beneficiary, or any other such person.

        11.3    No Employment Rights.    Participation in this Plan shall not be construed to confer upon any Participant the legal right to be retained in the employ of the Employer, or give a Participant or beneficiary, or any other person, any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for hereunder. Each Participant shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted.

        11.4    Incompetence.    If the Administrator determines that any person to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, the Administrator shall have the power to cause the payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his or her benefit without responsibility of the Administrator or the Employer to see to the application of such payments. Any payment made pursuant to such power shall, as to such payment, operate as a complete discharge of the Employer and the Administrator.

        11.5    Identity.    If, at any time, any doubt exists as to the identity of any person entitled to any payment hereunder or the amount or time of such payment, the Administrator shall be entitled to hold such sum until such identity or amount or time is determined or until an order of a court of competent jurisdiction is obtained. The Administrator shall also be entitled to pay such sum into court in accordance with the appropriate rules of law. Any expenses incurred by the Employer and the Administrator incident to such proceeding or litigation shall be charged against the Account of the affected Participant.

        11.6    Other Benefits.    The benefits of each Participant or beneficiary hereunder shall be in addition to any benefits paid or payable to or on account of the Participant or beneficiary under any other pension, disability, annuity or retirement plan or policy whatsoever.

        11.7    No Liability.    No liability shall attach to or be incurred by any manager of the Employer or the Administrator under or by reason of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Plan, or for the acts or decisions taken or made thereunder or in connection therewith; and as a condition precedent to the establishment of this Plan or the receipt of benefits thereunder, or both, such liability, if any, is expressly waived and released by each Participant and by any and all persons claiming under or through any Participant or any other person. Such waiver and release shall be conclusively evidenced by any act or participation in or the acceptance of benefits or the making of any election under this Plan.

---

        11.8    Expenses.    Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, whether incurred by the Employer or the Plan, shall be paid by the Employer or charged to the Plan at the discretion of the Administrator. Any investment-related expenses shall be charged directly to the Account for which such investments were made. To the extent that the Employer may be liable for social security tax withholding, other withholding tax regarding any deferred contributions under sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof, or any federal or state income tax liability resulting from any investments made by Employer as a hedge against Employer's liability under the Plan, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may charge such expenses to the Plan.

        11.9    Amendment and Termination.    

        (a)   Except as otherwise provided in this section or pursuant to an Employment Agreement, the Corporation shall have the sole authority to modify, amend or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that any modification or termination of this Plan shall not reduce, alter or impair, without the consent of a Participant, a Participant's right to any amounts already credited to his or her Account on the day before the effective date of such modification or termination.

        (b)   The Corporation reserves the right to make any modification or amendment to the Plan that it deems necessary to comply with any requirements of law or to insure favorable tax treatment under the Plan.

        11.10    Employer Determinations.    Any determinations, actions or decisions of the Employer shall be made by the board of directors of the Employer in accordance with its established procedures or by such other individuals, groups or organizations that have been properly delegated by the board of directors to make such determination or decision.

        11.12    Governing Law.    This Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any other applicable federal law, provided, however, that to the extent not preempted by federal law or agreed to in an Employment Agreement with Employer this Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the State of Tennessee.

        11.13    Severability.    If any provision of this Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Plan and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included therein. If the inclusion of any Employee (or Employees) as a Participant under this Plan would cause the Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, then the Plan shall be severed with respect to such Employee or Employees, who shall be considered to be participating in a separate arrangement.

        11.14    Headings.    The ARTICLE headings contained herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of this Plan nor in any way shall they affect this Plan or the construction of any provision thereof.

INTRODUCTION

Establishment of the Plan

        The Willis North America Inc. Financial Security Partnership Plan was first established effective January 1, 1986 as the Corroon & Black Financial Security Partnership Plan by Corroon & Black Corporation for the benefit of its eligible employees. Prior to 1986, this Plan was known as "The Corroon & Black Corporation Thrift Plan," the "Corroon & Black Employees' Savings and Stock Investment Plan," and the "Corroon & Black of Tennessee, Inc. Employee Incentive Thrift Plan." It was amended and restated to be generally effective January 1, 1989, except that the provisions of Article III, unless otherwise specified, were generally effective January 1, 1987. Effective November 1, 1990, the name of the Plan was changed to the Willis Corroon Corporation Financial Security Partnership Plan. Willis Corroon Corporation is the successor by merger to Corroon & Black Corporation. The Plan was further amended and restated effective October 1, 1997, September 18, 1998, October 1, 1999, and September 1, 2001. Effective October 1, 1999, the name of the Plan was changed to the Willis North America Inc. Financial Security Partnership Plan as the result of Willis Corroon Corporation's name change to Willis North America Inc. The Plan was again amended and restated to be generally effective January 1, 2003. The Plan has now been amended and restated to be generally effective November 3, 2004.

        The rights and benefits of Participants shall be determined as provided herein, except as specifically provided or changed by subsequent amendment. The document in effect prior to this amendment and restatement shall govern the rights and benefits of Participants who separated from service prior to the effective date.

        The Plan has been amended and restated to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and certain other laws and regulations including, without limitation, the Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1992, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, the Small Business Jobs Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and the Reform Act of 1998 which have become effective since the Plan was last amended. It is intended that the Plan, together with the Trust Agreement, meet all the requirements of ERISA as amended and qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. The Plan shall be interpreted, wherever possible, to comply with the terms of the Code, ERISA and all regulations and rulings issued thereunder.

Compensation for the purposes of this Section for any determination period shall not exceed the limit on Compensation prescribed in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (the "Section 401(a)(17) Limit").

The cost of living adjustment in effect on January 1 of any calendar year shall apply to any determination period beginning in such calendar year. For this purpose, the "determination period" is any period not exceeding twelve (12) months over which Compensation is determined. If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the Section 401(a)(17) Limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

Contributions or benefits provided a leased employee by the leasing organization that are attributable to services performed for the recipient employer shall be treated as provided by the recipient employer.

A leased employee shall not be considered an employee of the recipient employer if: (i) such employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan providing: (1) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least ten percent (10%) of compensation, as defined in Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, but including amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are excludible from the employee's gross income under Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b) of the Code, (2) immediate participation, and (3) full and immediate vesting; and (ii) leased employees do not constitute more than twenty percent (20%) of the recipient employer's nonhighly compensated workforce.

"Earnings" means the amount of income to be returned with any Excess Deferrals. Earnings on Excess Deferrals shall be determined by multiplying the income earned on the Before-Tax Deposit Account for the Plan Year to which the Excess Deferrals relate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Deferral, for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Before-Tax Deposit Account balance at the end of the Plan Year, disregarding any income or loss occurring during the Plan Year.



(4)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event a Participant receives a distribution of Excess Deferrals pursuant to this Section, any Company Matching Deposit that relates to such Excess Deferrals shall be forfeited. Such forfeitures shall be treated in the same manner as forfeitures arising under Article V, except that forfeitures arising under this Section shall not be allocated to the account of any Highly Compensated Employee.

3.06

Nondiscrimination Requirements for Before-Tax Deposits.

With respect to each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1997, the Actual Deferral Percentage for that Plan Year for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants for that Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of:

(a)

The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year for all non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who were Participants or eligible to become Participants during the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or



(b)

The lesser of (i) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year for all non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who were Participants or eligible to become Participants during the Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, and (ii) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year for all such non-Highly Compensated Participants during the Plan Year plus two percentage points (or such lesser amount as the Plan Administrator shall determine to satisfy the provisions of Section 3.08).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to use the Actual Deferral Percentage for non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year being tested rather than the Plan Year being tested provided that such election must be evidenced by a Plan amendment and once made may not be changed except as provided by the Secretary of the Treasury.

The Plan Administrator may implement rules limiting the Before-Tax Deposits that may be made on behalf of some or all Highly Compensated Employees so that this limitation is satisfied.

3.07

Nondiscrimination Requirements for Company Matching Deposits.

With respect to each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1997, the Actual Contribution Percentage for that Plan Year for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants for that Plan Year shall not exceed

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to use the Actual Contribution Percentage for non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year being tested rather than the Plan Year being tested provided that such election must be evidenced by a Plan amendment and once made may not be changed except as provided by the Secretary of the Treasury.

3.08

Restriction on Multiple Use of Alternative Limitations.

(a)

In the event one or more Highly Compensated Employees are eligible to have both Before-Tax Deposits and either Company Matching Deposits or any other type of contribution subject to the Actual Contribution Percentage test that is aggregated with contributions under this Plan pursuant to Section 3.09, the Plan will not be deemed to have satisfied the nondiscrimination requirements of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 unless the Actual Deferral Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year cannot exceed the greater of:

(1)

The sum of:

(A)

The greater of the Actual Deferral Percentage or Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year for all non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who were Participants or eligible to become Participants during the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, plus

(B)

The lesser of (i) the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage or the Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year for all non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who were Participants or eligible to become Participants during the Plan Year multiplied by 2.0 and (ii) the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage or Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year for all such non-Highly Compensated Participants during the Plan Year plus two percentage points.

or satisfies such other tests as may be promulgated under Section 401(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(b)

In the event the aggregate limit is exceeded for any Plan Year, the Actual Contribution Percentages of the Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy the aggregate limit in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.07.

3.09

Additional Discrimination Testing Provisions.

(a)

If any Highly Compensated Employee is a member of another qualified plan of the Employer or a member of the Affiliated Group, other than an employee stock ownership plan described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code or any other qualified plan which must be mandatory disaggregated under Section 410(b) of the Code, under which deferred cash contributions or matching contributions are made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee or under which the Highly Compensated Employee makes after-tax contributions, the Plan Administrator shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated, to take into account all such contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee under all such plans in applying the limitations of Sections 3.06, 3.07, and 3.08. If any other such qualified plan has a plan year other than the Plan Year defined in Section 1.25, the contributions to be taken into account in applying the limitations of Sections 3.06, 3.07, and 3.08 will be those made in the plan years ending with or within the same calendar year.

(b)

In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code (other than for purposes of the average benefit percentage test) or if one or more other plans is aggregated with this Plan to satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code, then the provisions of Sections 3.06, 3.07, and 3.08 shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage of employees as if all such plans were a single plan. If this Plan is permissively aggregated with any other plan or plans for purposes of satisfying the provisions of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, the aggregated plans must also satisfy the provisions of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code as though they were a single plan. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated under this paragraph (b) only if they have the same plan year.

(c)

The Employer may elect to use Before-Tax Deposits to satisfy the tests described in Sections 3.07, and 3.08, provided that the test described in Section 3.06 is met prior to such election, and continues to be met following the Employer's election to shift the application of those Before-Tax Deposits from Section 3.06 to Section 3.07.

(d)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if employees included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are participating in the Plan and not more than 2 percent of such employees are Highly Compensated Employees and professionals, then such employees shall be disregarded in applying the provisions of Sections 3.06, 3.07, and 3.08. However, a separate Actual Deferral Percentage test must be performed for the group of collective bargaining employees on and after January 1, 1993 on the basis that those employees are included in a separate cash-or-deferred arrangement.

(e)

For Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 1999, if the Employer elects to apply the provisions of Section 410(b)(4)(B) to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k)(3)(A)(i) of the Code, the Employer may apply the provisions of Sections ADP, ACP, and Multiple Use test Sections by excluding from consideration all eligible employees (other than Highly Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Section 410(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

20

---

(f)

If the Employer does not apply the special rule in subsection (e) above, the Employer may elect to apply the provisions of Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(b)(3)(ii) and treat the portion of the Plan benefiting Participants who have satisfied the minimum requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(a) and the portion of the Plan benefiting Participants who have not satisfied such requirements as two separate Plans for the purpose of applying Code Sections 401(k) and 410(b), in accordance with the regulations thereunder.

3.10

Qualified Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions.    The Employer may authorize that special "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" (on the basis of either a specified dollar amount or specified percentage of Compensation) and/or "Qualified Matching Contributions" (with respect to Before-Tax Deposits) shall be made for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated in such amounts and to such Participants, who are not Highly Compensated Employees, as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator shall establish such separate accounts as may be necessary. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions shall be one hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable when made. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made before January 1, 1989 and earnings credited thereon as of that date may only be withdrawn by a Participant while in service under the provisions of Sections 7.01 or 7.02. Any Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made on or after January 1, 1989 and any earnings credited on any Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions after such date shall only be available for withdrawal under the provisions of Section 7.02. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made for the Plan Year may be used to satisfy the tests described in Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 3.08, where necessary. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions may be taken into account in determining the Actual Deferral Percentage or Actual Contribution Percentage of the non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year under Section 3.06 and/or 3.07 provided the contributions are credited to Participants' accounts no later than the last day of the preceding Plan Year and are contributed to the Plan no later than the last day of the Plan Year being tested.

3.11

Correction Methods.

(a)

Actual Deferral Percentage Test.    If the Plan Administrator determines that the limitation under Section 3.06 has been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply:

(1)

The Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the Actual Deferral Percentage test of Section 3.06 or to cause such ratio to equal the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio. This process will be repeated until the Actual Deferral Percentage test of Section 3.06 is passed. Each ratio shall be rounded to the nearest one one-hundredth of one percent of the Participant's Discrimination Compensation. The amount of a Highly Compensated Employee's Before-Tax Deposits in excess of the amount permitted under his or her revised Actual Deferral Ratio shall be added together. This total dollar amount of excess contributions ("Excess Contributions") shall then be allocated to some or all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) below.

(2)

The Before-Tax Deposits of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the amount required to cause that Employee's Before-Tax Deposits to equal the dollar amount of such contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions, or (ii) an amount equal to the total Excess Contributions. This procedure is repeated until all Excess Contributions are allocated.

21

---

(3)

The Excess Contributions together with Earnings thereon, allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee under paragraph (2) above shall be paid to the Participant before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, within 2¹/2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions were made. However, any Excess Contributions for any Plan Year shall be reduced by any Before-Tax Deposits previously returned to the Participant under Section 3.06 for that Plan Year.

Excess Contributions shall be distributed from the Participant's Before-Tax Deposit Account and from his Qualified Matching Contribution Account if applicable) in proportion to the Participant's Before-Tax Deposits and Qualified Matching Contributions used in the test under Section 3.06 for the Plan Year. Excess Contributions shall be distributed from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account only to the extent the Excess Contributions exceed the balance in the Participant's Before-Tax Deposit Account and Qualified Matching Contribution Account.

In the event any Before-Tax Deposits returned under this Section were matched by Company Matching Deposits other than Qualified Matching Contributions, such corresponding Company Matching Deposits, with Earnings thereon, shall be forfeited. Such forfeitures shall be treated in the same manner as forfeitures arising under Article V, except that forfeitures arising under this Section shall not be allocated to the account of any Highly Compensated Employee.

(4)

In the event any Company Matching Deposits subject to forfeiture under this Section have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.



(b)

The Actual Contribution Percentage Test.    If the Plan Administrator determines that the limitation under Section 3.07 has been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply:



(1)

Subsection (a)(1) and (2) shall apply, after substituting "Actual Contribution Ratio", "Actual Contribution Percentage", "Excess Aggregate Contributions" and "Company Matching Deposits" for "Actual Deferral Ratio", "Actual Deferral Percentage", "Excess Contributions" and "Before-Tax Deposits", respectively.



(2)

Excess Aggregate Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee under paragraph (1) above shall be distributed or forfeited as follows:



(A)

Company Matching Deposits made with respect to Highly Compensated Employees which exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test of Section 3.07, and Earnings allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if otherwise forfeitable under the terms of the Plan.



(B)

Nonforfeitable Company Matching Deposits that exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test of Section 3.07 plus any Earnings allocable thereto, shall be paid to the Highly Compensated Employees with respect to whom such Excess Aggregate Contributions were made.



(3)

Any repayment or forfeiture of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be made before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, any repayment or forfeiture shall be made within 2¹/2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Aggregate Contributions were made. In the event any Company Matching Deposits subject to

22

---

forfeiture have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

(4)

Amounts distributed to or forfeited by Highly Compensated Employees under this Section shall be treated as Annual Additions under Section 3.03. Amounts forfeited by Highly Compensated Employees under this Section shall be treated in the same manner as forfeitures arising under Article V except that forfeitures arising under this Section shall not be allocated to the account of any Highly Compensated Employee.



(c)

"Earnings" means the amount of income to be returned with any Excess Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contributions. Earnings on Excess Contributions shall be determined by multiplying the income earned on the Before-Tax Deposit Account for the Plan Year to which the Excess Contributions relate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Before-Tax Deposit Account balance at the end of the Plan Year, disregarding any income or loss occurring during the Plan Year. Earnings on Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be determined in a similar manner by substituting the sum of the Participant's Stock-Based Company Matching Deposit Account (effective November 3, 2004, the Unrestricted Company Matching Deposit Account) for the Before-Tax Deposit Account, and the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Excess Contributions in the preceding sentence.

3.12

Rollovers and Transfers.

(a)

An Employee, regardless of whether he has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II, who has received a distribution of all or part of his interest in a plan which meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code may, in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, transfer the distribution to the Trust, instruct the Trust to accept such distribution directly from the distributing plan, provided the following conditions are met:

(1)

the distribution qualified for rollover pursuant to Section 402(a)(5) of the Code is an Eligible Rollover Distribution as defined in Section 6.07;

(2)

the transfer occurs on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Employee's receipt of the distribution from the other plan, or, if such distribution had previously been transferred into an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity described in Section 408 of the Code, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Employee's receipt of the distribution from such account annuity;

(3)

the amount transferred does not exceed the fair market value of all the property the Employee receives in the distribution, reduced by the employee contributions (other than accumulated deductible employee contributions within the meaning of Section 72(o)(5) of the Code);

(4)

the Employee provides the Administrator with whatever information it deems necessary to determine that the proposed rollover will meet the requirements of this Section.

(5)

the Employee has not previously requested that the Plan accept a rollover with respect to amounts received from the distributing plan.

(b)

The Plan Administrator, at the direction of the Board, may permit the direct transfer of amounts from another plan to this Plan provided it is established to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that the transferor plan and trust are qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code and that transfer of such amounts to the Plan will not jeopardize the qualified status of the Plan and Trust under such Code sections.

23

---

(c)

Amounts that are rolled over or transferred to the Plan shall be allocated to the Employee's Rollover Account or Prior Plan Account as appropriate.

3.13

Deductible Voluntary Contributions.    Prior to January 1, 1987, Participants were allowed to make Deductible Voluntary Contributions to the Plan.

No part of the Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account will be used to purchase life insurance.

3.14

After-Tax Contributions.    Prior to January 1, 1987, Participants were allowed to make After-Tax Contributions to the Plan.

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code. Without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this Article III, a Participant who is reemployed on or after October 14, 1994 and is credited with Vesting Service under the provisions of Article V because of a period of service in the uniformed services of the United States, may elect to contribute to the Plan the Before-Tax Deposits that could have been contributed to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan had he or she remained continuously employed by the Employer throughout such period of absence ("make-up contributions"). The amount of make-up contributions shall be determined on the basis of the Participant's Plan Compensation in effect immediately prior to the period of absence, and the terms of the Plan at such time. Any Before-Tax Deposits so determined shall be limited as provided in Sections 3.01, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, and 3.08 with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made. Any payment to the Plan described in this paragraph shall be made during the applicable repayment period. The repayment period shall equal three times the period of absence, but not longer than five years and shall begin on the latest of: (i) the Participant's date of reemployment, (ii) October 13, 1996, or (iii) the date the Employer notifies the Employee of his or her rights under this Section. Earnings (or losses) on make-up contributions shall be credited commencing with the date the make-up contribution is made in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.

(b)

With respect to a Participant who makes the election described in paragraph (a) above, the Employer shall make Company Matching Deposits, on the make-up contributions in the amount described in the provisions of Section 3.01, as in effect for the Plan Year to which such make-up contributions relate. Company Matching Deposits, under this paragraph shall be made during the period described in paragraph (a) above. Earnings (or losses) on Company Matching Deposits shall be credited commencing with the date the contributions are made in accordance with the provisions of Article 4. Any Company Matching Deposits described in Sections 3.01, 3.07 and 3.08 shall be applied with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year or Years in which payment is made.

(c)

All contributions under this Section are considered "annual additions," as defined in Section 415(c)(2) of the Code, and shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 3.04 with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made.

occurs while he is employed by the Affiliated Group. Furthermore, the Participant shall be fully vested upon termination of the Plan or upon the occurrence of another event described in Section 9.03, if such event occurs prior to the time the Participant has incurred a forfeiture.

If a Participant separates from service prior to acquiring a nonforfeitable right to the entire value of his Unrestricted Company Matching Deposit Account (prior to September 1, 2001, the Company Matching Deposit Account), and Predecessor Plan Company Matching Deposit Account, the nonvested portion of such Account shall be forfeited upon the earlier to occur of (c) or (d) below where:

(b)

If a Participant who forfeited a portion of his Unrestricted Company Matching Deposit Account (prior to September 1, 2001, the Company Matching Deposit Account) or Predecessor Plan Company Matching Deposit Account or, prior to November 3, 2004, his Stock-Based Company Matching Deposit Account, upon separation from service returns to service prior to incurring five (5) consecutive one-year Periods of Severance, the dollar amount forfeited shall be restored to the Participant's Unrestricted Company Matching Deposit Account (prior to September 1, 2001, the Company Matching Deposit Account) and Predecessor Plan Company Matching Deposit Account if the Participant repays the full amount of any distribution received upon separation from service before the earlier of five (5) years after the first date on which he is subsequently re-employed by the Employer or the close of the first period of five (5) consecutive one-year Periods of Severance commencing on the date of the distribution.

(c)

The funds for such restoration shall be taken from any available forfeited amounts at the time the Participant is reemployed or repays the distribution (as applicable) or, if such forfeited amounts are insufficient to provide the restoration, shall be provided by Employer contribution.

5.04

Vesting in Prior Contributions.    If a Participant returns to employment after incurring a five (5) year Period of Severance, his Years of Service subsequent to such five (5) year period shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the Vesting Percentage applicable to Employer contributions which accrued before such five (5) year period.

shall have the vested portion of the Unrestricted Company Matching Deposit Account (prior to September 1, 2001, the Company Matching Deposit Account) computed by the formula P (A + D) – D, where P equals the Vesting Percentage at the relevant time, A equals the Company Deposit Account balance at the relevant time, and D equals the amount of the previous withdrawal or unrepaid distribution.

5.06

Predecessor Employers.    Years of Service for a predecessor Employer as that term is defined in Code Section 414(a)(1) shall be taken into account for vesting purposes.

ARTICLE VI

Distributions

6.01

Events Allowing Distribution.    A Participant shall be eligible to receive a distribution of his vested Accrued Benefit upon retirement, death, separation from service or Disability; provided, however, that the eligibility of a Participant to receive a distribution on account of a separation from service shall be waived if he returns to employment with an Employer prior to receiving such distribution.

A Participant shall also be eligible to receive a distribution of his vested Accrued Benefit upon: (a) termination of this Plan without establishment or maintenance of a successor plan (as described in Section 401(k)(10) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) or (b) upon disposition by his Employer of substantially all of the assets (within the meaning of Section 409(d)(2) of the Code) used by such Employer in a trade or business or upon the disposition by such Employer of its interest in a subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 409(d)(3) of the Code), but only if: (i) the Participant continues employment with the corporation acquiring such assets or with such subsidiary, as the case may be; (ii) the acquiring entity is not a member of the Affiliated Group; and (iii) the acquiring entity does not maintain the Plan. An event shall not be treated as described in this paragraph with respect to any Participant unless the Participant receives a lump sum distribution as described in Section 401(k)(10)(B) of the Code.

Distributions shall be payable as provided in Sections 6.02 and 6.03.

6.02

Form of Distribution.

(a)

Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in other provisions of this Plan, distributions to or with respect to a Participant shall be made in one single sum. Provided, however, that any form of distribution applicable to amounts transferred to the Plan as provided in Section 3.12(b) shall be preserved with respect to such amounts to the extent required by law. Provided further that this Section shall apply to any Participant who commences receiving a Benefit required under Sections 6.04(b) and 6.05 and who subsequently incurs an event specified in Section 6.01.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any distribution under the Plan which is in the form of an annuity having an annuity starting date one day later than the earlier of (i) the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Participant receives notice of this provision in a manner that complies with Department of Labor Regulation Section 29 CFR 2520.104b-3 and (ii) January 1, 2003 (the first day of the second plan year following the plan year in which this provision became effective (September 1, 2001), such distribution from the Plan shall instead be made solely in the form of a single lump sum distribution, so long as such single lump sum distribution is otherwise identical to the optional form of benefit that would have been available to the Participant before the application of this paragraph.

(b)

In the event a Participant elects or is required to receive a total distribution of his vested Accrued Benefit, the Participant can elect to receive the distribution of the vested portion of his Willis Stock Fund in kind. The value of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit invested in the Stock Fund shall be determined to be the Market Value of the shares held for the Participant in such Fund as of the applicable Valuation Date. Such distribution shall be in full shares to the extent possible plus the cash proceeds of the sale of any fractional shares. In any such case, the distribution of other amounts hereunder shall be paid in cash.

In the event that the Participant does not elect an "in kind distribution" pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Participant shall receive his distribution from the Plan totally in cash. The Participant shall make such election by specifying in writing that he desires either an "in

31

---

kind distribution" or a "cash-only distribution" on such form or forms as the Benefits Committee deems appropriate for such election. For the purpose of this "cash-only distribution", the value of the Participant's Common Stock accumulated in the Participant's Accounts shall be equal to the actual proceeds from the sale of such Common Stock. For the purpose of this subsection, any transfer of shares by the Trustee from the account of the Participant receiving a distribution to another Account shall be considered a "sale" and the Market Value on the date of such transfer shall be considered "proceeds" hereunder.

(c)

If a Participant dies while legally married prior to the distribution of his Participant Account, the value of such Account, determined under 6.03 below reduced by the balance of any loan outstanding to the Participant from the Plan and secured by the Participant's account, shall be distributed by payment in a single sum to the Participant's surviving Spouse unless the Participant and his surviving Spouse had made a Qualified Election prior to his death. If a Qualified Election had been made, payment shall be made in a single sum to or for the benefit of the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.

If a Qualified Election had not been made prior to the Participant's death, the Participant's surviving Spouse may elect to defer distribution of the Participant's Account until a date which is no later than the date which would have been the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.

A Qualified Election means an election made by the Participant providing that the balance of the Participant's Accounts will not be distributed in full to the surviving Spouse, and

(1)

the Spouse of the Participant consents in writing to such election and to the designation of the alternate Beneficiary and acknowledges the effect of such election on forms provided by and filed with the Benefits Committee and witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public; or



(2)

it is established that the Participant has no Spouse or that such Spouse cannot be located, or under such other circumstances as may be provided by the Code or applicable regulations thereunder.

Any consent by a Spouse pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse. Spousal consent is irrevocable unless the Participant revokes his Qualified Election in order to designate another Beneficiary who is other than the Participant's Spouse. In such case, a new Qualified Election must be made in accordance with this paragraph.

6.03

Amount and Timing of Distributions

(a)

A Participant eligible to receive a distribution in accordance with Section 6.01 shall be entitled to receive the value of his vested Accrued Benefit as of the Valuation Date specified in subsection 6.03(b) reduced by the balance of any loan outstanding to the Participant from the Plan and secured by the Participant's account. Provided, however, that the value of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit invested in the Willis Stock Fund shall be determined as provided in Section 6.02(b). Such distribution shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after an event described in Section 6.01 has occurred. If the vested Accrued Benefit is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such benefit on the date of employment termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if the value of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit exceeds the amount prescribed in Section 411(a)(11)(A) of the Code (five thousand dollars ($5,000) effective January 1, 1998) at the time of this distribution (or, prior to January 1, 1999, at the time of any prior distribution), no distribution shall be made hereunder prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date without the consent of the Participant. In the event the Participant does not consent to such distribution, the Benefits Committee shall cause the Trustee to distribute his vested Accrued Benefit to the Participant or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, in accordance

32

---

with this Article VI within a reasonable period following the earliest of (i) the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains his Normal Retirement Age; (ii) the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant dies; or (iii) the date on which the Participant files an election with the Plan Administrator to have his entire vested Accrued Benefit distributed to him. Such distribution shall be in the form of a single sum benefit and shall be valued as of the Valuation Date coinciding with the date of distribution.

(b)

The Valuation Date specified in this subsection means:



(1)

For any Participant whose vested Accrued Benefit does not exceed the amount prescribed in Section 411(a)(11)(A) of the Code (five thousand dollars ($5,000) effective January 1, 1998) at the time of this distribution (or, prior to January 1, 1999, at the time of any prior distribution), or who has reached his Normal Retirement Date before the occurrence of an event described in Section 6.01, the Valuation Date that occurs as soon after the Employer notifies the Plan Administrator that an event described in Section 6.01 has occurred as is administratively feasible to allow the Employer to process the distribution or



(2)

For any Participant not described in subsection (1), the Valuation Date that occurs as soon after the date on which the Participant files an election with the Plan Administrator to have his entire vested Accrued Benefit distributed to him as is administratively feasible to allow the Employer to process the distribution, but no later than the Valuation Date following his Normal Retirement Date.

6.04

(1)

The Participant attains age sixty-five (65);

Effective January 1, 1997, with respect to a five percent (5%) owner, distribution of benefits shall commence not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age seventy and one-half (70¹/2). Also effective January 1, 1997, a Participant who is not a five percent (5%) owner shall commence receipt of benefits not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age seventy and one-half or retires, if later. Notwithstanding the above, a Participant who commenced minimum distributions under Code Section 401(a)(9) prior to January 1, 1997, and who does not elect a complete distribution of his Account under Section 7.04, shall continue to receive minimum distributions in accordance with the Plan as in effect on December 31, 1996.

6.05

Methods of Distribution.    The provisions of this section are effective for determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.

(e)

If the distribution of the Participant's interest has begun in accordance with the preceding paragraph and the Participant dies before his entire interest has been distributed to him, the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution used as of his date of death.



(f)

If a Participant does not receive an immediate distribution of the Participant's Account Balance in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, then during the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:



(1)

The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or



(2)

If the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant's Spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's and Spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and Spouse's birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

Required minimum distributions will be determined under this subsection (f) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant's date of death.

(g)

If the Participant dies before distribution commences, then his or her entire interest will be distributed in a single sum, no later than:

(2)

December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70¹/2, if later (but only if the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary).

If the Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary and the Spouse dies before payments begin, subsequent distributions are required under this subsection (except for paragraph 2) as if the surviving Spouse was the Participant.

(h)

For the purposes of this Section, distribution of a Participant's interest is considered to begin on the Participant's Required Beginning Date (or, if the last sentence of subsection (g) applies, the date distribution is required to begin to the Surviving Spouse pursuant to subsection (g)).

ARTICLE IX

Amendment and Termination

9.01

Amendment.    Except as provided herein, the Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time and in any manner. The Board may delegate this authority to any officer(s) of the Company. Any action by the Board shall be evidenced by a valid resolution.

(c)

No merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other plan shall be made unless each Participant and each other person entitled to benefits under the Plan shall be entitled to a benefit immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the plan into which such persons were merged, etc., then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the benefit such persons would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the plan from which such persons were merged, etc. had then terminated).

(d)

Under no condition shall any amendment result in the return or repayment to any Employer of any part of the Trust Fund or the income therefrom, or result in the distribution of the Trust Fund for the benefit of anyone other than Participants and any other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan.

(e)

No modification or amendment of the Plan shall be made retroactively unless deemed by the Company to be necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan to or to satisfy the conditions of any law, governmental regulation or ruling or to permit the Plan and the Trust to meet the requirements of Sections 401, 404 and 501 of the Code, or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent law.

(f)

If the Plan's vesting schedule is changed as a result of an amendment, each Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service may elect to continue to have his vested percentage computed in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for that Participant prior to the amendment.

9.02

Termination.    Although it is the intention of the Employer that this Plan shall be continued and that contributions to it will be made regularly, this Plan is entirely voluntary on the part of the Employer, and the continuance of the Plan and the payments thereunder are not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Employer. The Employer specifically reserves the right, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion and by its official and authorized act, to modify, to suspend (in whole or in part) or to discontinue at any time its contributions to this Plan. The Plan will terminate as to all Employers on any date specified by the Board, provided written notice of the termination is given to the Benefits Committee, the Trustee and the other Employers. The Plan will terminate as to an individual Employer on the first to occur of the following:

in any such event arrangements may be made with the consent of the Board whereby the Plan will be continued by any successor to that Employer or any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, in which case the successor or purchaser will be substituted for that Employer under the Plan; and the Trust Agreement; and



(2)

if an Employer is merged, dissolved or in any way reorganized into, or consolidated with, any other Employer, the Plan as applied to the former Employer will automatically continue in effect without a termination thereof.

9.03

Nonforfeitability on Termination, Partial Termination or Discontinuance of Contributions.    If there is a termination or partial termination of the Plan with respect to any Employer, or a complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan by such Employer, the rights of all affected Participants to benefits accrued to the date of such event shall be nonforfeitable.

Each affected Participant will receive a distribution equal to the value of his respective Participant Accounts on the termination date.

9.05

Termination of Plan With Respect to an Adopting Company.    Each Adopting Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to employees of the Adopting Company by action of its Board of Directors. The Adopting Company shall also have the right to suspend contributions to the Plan at any time.

In the event of termination of the Plan only with respect to the Employees of the Adopting Company, the Benefits Committee shall direct that the portion of the Fund attributable to Employees of the Adopting Company be segregated by the Trustee into a separate fund.

The portion of the Fund which is so segregated shall be retained in a separate trust fund and applied in one of the following methods, at the discretion of the Benefits Committee:

(b)

If the Adopting Company shall fail, within the one-hundred eight (180) day period immediately following termination of the Plan with respect to its Employees, to establish a successor retirement plan and trust which is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, such assets shall be distributed for the benefit of the Employees of the Adopting Company in accordance with the method described in Section 11.07 hereof.

Fiduciaries.    The Company and the Trustee shall be the named fiduciaries under this Plan and shall exercise their duties hereunder in accordance with the requirements of Part 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No "fiduciary" under the Plan or the Trust Agreement shall be liable for an act or omission of another person in carrying out any fiduciary responsibility where such fiduciary responsibility is allocated to such other person by the Plan or the Trust Agreement except to the extent that such fiduciary is in violation of his duty under Section 405(a) or 405(c)(2) of ERISA.

The Company shall have exclusive responsibility for the specific matters delegated to it by the Plan. The Trustee shall have responsibility for management and control of the assets of the Plan as provided in the Trust Agreement.

10.02

Non-Alienation.

(a)

Protected Benefits.    None of the benefits under the Plan are subject to the claims of creditors of Participants or their Beneficiaries, and none will be subject to attachment, garnishment or any other legal process. Neither a Participant nor his Beneficiary may assign, sell, borrow on, or otherwise encumber any of his beneficial interest in the Plan and Trust Fund, nor shall any such benefits be in any manner liable for or subject to the deeds, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Participant or Beneficiary. If any such Participant or Beneficiary shall become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, sell, alienate, transfer, pledge, assign, encumber or change any benefit specifically provided for herein, or if a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order purporting to subject such interest to the claim of any creditor, then the Trustee shall hold or apply such benefit to or for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary in such manner as the Trustee may deem proper. The foregoing shall not apply to judgments, orders and decrees issued after, and settlement agreements entered into on or after, August 5, 1997 to the extent permitted by Code Section 401(a)(13)(C) and (D).

(b)

Qualified Domestic Relations Order.    The foregoing Section 10.03(a) shall also apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right under a domestic relations order, unless such order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code (and those other domestic relations orders permitted to be so treated by the Committee under the provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984).

The Committee shall establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.

10.03

Facility of Payment.    In making any distribution to or for the benefit of any minor or incompetent Participant or Beneficiary, or any other Beneficiary, who, in the opinion of the Benefits Committee, is incapable of properly using, expending, investing or otherwise disposing of such distribution, then the Benefits Committee may, but need not, order the Trustee to make such distribution to a legal or natural guardian or other relative of such minor or court appointed committee of any incompetent, or to any adult with whom such person temporarily or permanently resides; and any such discretion to expend such distribution for the use and benefit of such person; and the receipt of such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Trustee, without any responsibility on its part or on the part of the Benefits Committee to see to the application thereof.

10.04

No Contract.    This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Participant or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or Employee

47

---

the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect which such discharge shall have upon such individual as a Participant in the Plan.

10.05

Waiver of Notice.    Any notice required under the Plan may be waived by the person entitled to notice.

10.06

Controlling Law.    The Plan and Trust Agreement and all matters relating thereto shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the applicable laws of the United States and the State of New York except that if any trust agreement or any contract of insurance entered into under the Plan shall provide that it shall be governed, construed or administered in accordance with the laws of any other state, such agreement or contract shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) be so governed, construed or administered.

10.07

Absence of Guarantee.    Neither the Benefits Committee nor any Employer in any way guarantees the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation. Except as required by applicable law, the Employers do not guarantee any payment to any person. The liability of the Trustee or the Benefits Committee to make any payment under the Plan will be limited to the assets held by the Trustee which are available for that purpose.

10.08

Missing Persons.    If the Benefits Committee or Trustee is unable to make payment to any Participant or other person to whom a payment is due under the Plan because it cannot ascertain the identity or whereabouts of such Participant or other person after reasonable efforts have been made to do so, (including mailing the payment to the last known address of such Participant or such other person as shown on the records of the Employer), such payment and any subsequent payments otherwise due shall be forfeited twenty-four (24) months after the date such payment first became due; provided, however, that such payment and any subsequent payments shall be reinstated retroactively, not later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Participant or such other person entitled to payment is identified or located.

10.09

Non-Diversion.    There shall be no diversion of any portion of the assets of the Trust Fund other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries.

10.10

Return of Contributions.    All Employer contributions are made conditioned upon their deductibility for federal income tax purposes under Section 404 of the Code and upon continuing qualification of the Plan under Section 401 of the Code. Amounts contributed by an Employer shall be returned to the Employer under the following conditions:

(b)

If the Plan does not qualify under Section 401 of the Code, contributions made by an Employer shall be returned to the Employer within one (1) year after the date of denial of initial qualification of the Plan, provided that an application for determination is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer's federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Plan was adopted or such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe; and

(c)

If an Employer makes a contribution which is not deductible under Section 404 of the Code, such contribution (but only to the extent disallowed) shall be returned to the Employer within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.

Earnings attributable to the contribution shall not be returned to the Employer, but losses attributable to such excess contribution must reduce the amount to be so returned.

48

---

10.11

Litigation by Participants or Beneficiaries.    If a Participant or other person brings a legal action against the Trustee, one or more Employers, and/or the Benefits Committee (or any member or members thereof), and such action person results adversely to that person, or if a legal action arises because of conflicting claims to a Participant's or other person's benefits, the costs borne by the Trustee, the Employers, the Benefits Committee (or any member or members thereof) in defending the action will be charged, to the extent permitted by law, to the amounts involved in the action or which were payable to the Participant or other person concerned.

ARTICLE XI

Top Heavy Provisions

The following provisions shall become effective in any year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy Plan.

11.01

(a)

Determination Date with respect to a Plan Year means the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year or in the case of the first Plan Year, the Determination Date means the last day of such Plan Year.

(b)

The Present Value shall be the sum of (i) the Participant's account balances determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that is within the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date; (ii) the adjustment for contributions due as of the Determination Date; (iii) the aggregate distributions made with respect to such Employee during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date; and (iv) distributions under a terminated plan which, if it had not been terminated, would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group.

(c)

Key Employee means any Employee (or the Beneficiary of such Employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years, is:

(1)

an officer of the Employer whose annual Compensation from the Employer is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the amount in effect under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for any such Plan Year; provided, however, that no more than fifty (50) Employees (or if less, the greater of three (3) Employees or ten percent (10%) of the Employees) shall be considered officers.

(2)

one of the ten (10) Employees whose annual Compensation from the Employer is more than the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code and owning (or considered as owning within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code) both more than one-half percent (¹/2%) interest and the one of the ten (10) largest interests in the Employer. If two (2) Employees have the same interest in the Employer, the Employee having the greater annual Compensation from the Employer shall be treated as having a larger interest.

(3)

a five percent (5%) owner of the Employer, or

(4)

a one percent (1%) owner of the Employer having annual Compensation from the Employer of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

The aggregation rules of Section 414(b), (c), and (m) of the Code do not apply for purposes of determining ownership in the Employer.

(d)

The Required Aggregation Group means (i) each qualified plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a Participant, and (ii) each other qualified plan that enables any of the above plans to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.



(e)

The Permissive Aggregation Group.    The Employer may treat any plan not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group as defined herein as being part of such group if the group would continue to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with the plan being taken into account.

50

---

(f)

Rollover Deposits.    Except as provided in Treasury regulations, any Rollover Deposits (or similar transfer) initiated by the Employee to a plan in the Aggregation Group shall not be taken into account with respect to the transferee plan for purposes of determining whether this Plan is Top Heavy.



(g)

No Services for Five Years.    The account of an individual who has not performed services for any Employer maintaining the plan at any time during the five- (5) year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be considered for purposes of this Section.



(h)

Non-Key Employee means any Employee (and any Beneficiary of an Employee) who does not meet the definition of Key Employee. If an individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any plan for any Plan Year but such individual was a Key Employee with respect to such plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit of such Employee (and the account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account in this Section.



(i)

Compensation for purposes of this Article means Total Compensation.

11.02

Minimum Employer Contribution.

(a)

The sum of the Employer contributions allocated to the Account of each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee for each Plan Year for which the Plan is determined to be Top Heavy shall not be less than the smallest of (i) three percent (3%) of such Participant's Discrimination Compensation or (ii) a percentage of the Participant's Discrimination Compensation for the Plan Year that is the same percentage as the greatest percentage of Discrimination Compensation allocated (as Employer contributions and forfeitures) to the account of any Key Employee. Amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement shall be included in determining the amount contributed on behalf of a Key Employee when the minimum contribution is less than three percent (3%) of Discrimination Compensation but shall not be taken into account as an Employee contribution for the purposes of this Section.

(b)

Subsection (a) shall not apply in any Plan Year in which each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee has a benefit under a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer that: (i) meets the benefit requirements of Section 416(c)(1) of the Code; and (ii) is guaranteed under the defined benefit plan under provisions intended to take effect in any year during which such plan is Top Heavy. A defined benefit plan shall be considered for purposes of this subsection only if it is in the aggregation group of which this Plan is a part.

(c)

In any Plan Year in which this Plan is Top Heavy, the Benefits Committee may limit allocations of Employer contributions to Key Employees, in a uniform manner, as a maximum dollar amount or as a maximum percentage of compensation. No action by the Benefits Committee under this Subsection shall increase the benefits of any Key Employee.

(d)

Unrestricted Company Matching Deposits and Qualified Nonelective Contributions (and prior to November 3, 2004, Stock-Based Company Matching Deposits) may be treated as Employer contributions for purposes of Section 11.02(a). Provided, however, that Unrestricted Company Matching Deposits (prior to September 1, 2001, the Company Matching Deposit Account) and, prior to November 3, 2004, Stock-Based Company Matching Deposits, used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements with respect to Non-Key Employees must meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code without regard to Section 401(m) and may not be included as Matching Deposits or as Qualified Matching Contributions for the purposes of the ADP or ACP Test.

(b)

Notwithstanding the above, the Vested Percentage of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall not be less than the Vested Percentage determined as of the last day of the last Plan Year in which the Plan was not Top-Heavy.



(c)

In the event the Plan becomes Top-Heavy, each Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service may elect to continue to have his Vesting Percentage computed in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect before the Plan becomes Top-Heavy.

11.04

Impact on Maximum Benefits.    In the event that the aggregate of the sum of the Accounts of Participants who are Key Employees under the Plan exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate of the sum of the Accounts of all Participants, Section 3.05 shall be modified by substituting "one hundred percent (100%)" for "one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)" wherever it appears therein.

In the event that the aggregate of the sum of the Accounts of Participants who are Key Employees under the Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) but is not more than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate of the sum of the Accounts of all Participants, Section 11.02(a) shall be modified by substituting "four percent (4%)" for "three percent (3%)" wherever it appears therein.

Adoption of the Plan by Other Entities

12.01

Adoption of Plan.    Any subsidiary, affiliate company, or other entity may, in the future, adopt this Plan for all or a portion of its employees, provided that the Board approves such participation and the basis of such participation is set forth in a Participation Agreement by and between such Participating Employer and the Board.

The Participation Agreement may modify any of the terms of the Plan as applied to employees of such entity. The administrative powers and control of the Company as provided in the Plan shall not be deemed diminished under the Plan by reason of the participation of other companies in the Plan.

(j)

---

by it as part of the corpus of the trust estate herein created, notwithstanding the name in which the same may be held.

(k)

The Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may be of counsel to the Employer of the Benefits Committee) concerning any questions which may arise with reference to the construction of this Plan, its duties hereunder, or any actions which it proposes to take or omit.

(n)

Without diminution or restriction of the powers vested by law or elsewhere in this Plan, and subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the Trustee, without the necessity of procuring any judicial authorization therefor or approval thereof, shall be vested with and, in the application of its best judgment and discretion on behalf of the beneficiaries of this Plan, shall be authorized to exercise all or any of the powers specifically permitted by statute or judicial decision in the State of Tennessee.

The powers conferred by paragraphs (c) through (i) of Section 13.02 hereof, shall be exercised by the Trustee with respect to any portion of the Transferred Fund managed by the Investment Manager only when, if and in the manner directed by the Investment Manager.

The Trustee shall have no duty to question any direction of the Investment Manager with respect to the portion of the Transferred Fund managed by the Investment Manager or to review any securities or property held in such portion, or to make any suggestions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of such portion. The Trustee shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the directions of the Investment Manager or for failing to act in the absence of such directions.

All or any portion of the Transferred Fund, as shall be designated by the Investment Committee, shall be invested and reinvested under a group annuity or similar type of insurance contract or contracts which the Trustee shall have entered into with an insurance company at the direction of the Investment Committee.

13.04

Reliance on Benefits Committee and Employer.    Until notified pursuant to Article VIII hereof, that any Benefits Committee member or other person authorized to act for the Benefits Committee has ceased to act or is no longer authorized to act for the Committee, the Trustee may continue to rely on the authority of such member or other person. The Trustee may rely upon any certificate,

56

---

notice or direction purporting to have been signed on behalf of the Benefits Committee which the Trustee believes to have been signed by the Benefits Committee or the person or persons authorized to act for the Committee. The Trustee may rely upon any certificate, notice or direction of the employer that the Trustee believes to have been signed by a duly authorized officer or agent of the Employer. The Trustee may request instructions in writing from the Committee on other matters and may rely and act thereon.

13.05

Accounts and Reports.    The Trustee shall keep an accurate record of its administration of the Trust Fund, including a detailed account of all investments, receipts and disbursements, and other transactions hereunder.

The Trustee shall also provide the Company and the Benefits Committee with such other information in its possession as may be necessary for the Benefits Committee to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA.

Upon the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of filing such report and to the maximum extent permitted by federal regulations, the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged from all liability and accountability to anyone with respect to the recording of its acts and transactions shown in such statement, except with respect to any such acts or transactions as to which the Company or Benefits Committee shall file with the Trustee written objections within such ninety (90) days period.

13.06

Disbursements.    The Trustee, upon written instructions from the Benefits Committee, shall make distributions and/or payments, including monthly payments, to the Participants, Retired Participants, and Beneficiaries who qualify for such benefits. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Employer, the Committee or any other person in making such distributions and/or payments. The Trustee shall not be required to determine or make any investigation to determine the identity or mailing address of any person entitled to benefits under the Plan and shall have discharged its obligation in that respect when it shall have sent checks and other papers by ordinary mail to such person or persons at such addresses as may be certified to it in writing by the Committee.

13.07

Authority of Trustee.    At no time during the administration of the Trust Fund shall the Trustee be required to obtain any court approval of any act required of it in connection with the performance of its duties or in the performance of any act required of it in the administration of its duties as Trustee. The Trustee shall have full authority to exercise its judgment in all matters and at all times without court approval of such decisions; provided, however, that if any application to, or proceeding or action in, the courts is made, only the Company and the Trustee shall be necessary parties, and no Participant in the Plan or other person having an interest in the Trust Fund shall be entitled to any notice or service of process, subject to applicable federal regulations. Any judgment entered in such proceeding or actions shall be conclusive upon all persons claiming an interest under the Trust Fund.

13.08

Trust Funds.

(a)

The Trust Fund may be divided into separate funds as repositories for limited types of investments under this Plan. The Trustee, with the approval of the Benefits Committee, may establish additional funds as it deems necessary or desirable in the ongoing operation of the

57

---

Plan. The Trustee shall also, with the approval of the Benefits Committee, have the authority to abolish said fund(s) and to take all actions necessary in reinvesting the cash or property of said abolished fund(s) in any of the remaining fund(s).

(b)

The Company may also appoint a separate Trustee or Trustees to act as Trustee solely over the cash or property invested in any particular fund. In such case, said Trustee shall be solely responsible for its powers and duties, in accordance with this Article XIII, as they relate to that particular fund. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the actions of any other Trustees over any other such fund(s).



(c)

The decision of the Trustee of a particular fund as to whether an investment is of a nature that may be purchased or retained for its separate fund shall be conclusive upon any and all persons.

13.09

Proxy Votes.    Before each annual or special meeting of the stockholders, Willis Group Holdings Limited (the "Parent Company") shall cause to be sent to each Participant having shares of Common Stock a copy of the proxy solicitation material therefor, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the number of shares of Common Stock which are credited to such Participant's Accounts. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall vote the such shares as instructed. Instructions received from individual Participants by the Trustee shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including officers or employees of the Parent Company. The Trustee shall vote all shares of Common Stock held by it under the Plan for which voting instructions shall not have been received for or against the proposals submitted, in the same proportion as the shares for which instructions are received by the Trustee from Participants.

13.10

Tender Offer.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XIII, in the case of a tender offer for the Common Stock, the Trustee shall be bound by the provisions of this Section. As soon as practicable after the commencement of a tender offer, the Parent Company (as defined in Section 13.09) shall cause each Participant who has shares of Common Stock credited to his or her Accounts under the Plan, to be advised, in writing, as to the terms of the tender offer, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on whether to tender the number of shares of Common Stock which are credited to his or her Accounts under the Plan. Each such Participant shall be given an opportunity to instruct individually whether shares of Common Stock credited to his or her Accounts shall be tendered. For purposes of this Section, the number of shares of Common Stock as to which a Participant may instruct the Trustee, shall be the total number of such shares credited to his or her Accounts under the Plan as of the most recent Valuation Date, for which calculations have been completed at the date of notice of the tender offer to Participants (the "Recent Valuation Date"). Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall tender the number of shares of Common Stock as to which it received timely instructions to tender. If a Participant instructs the Trustee not to tender, if no response is received from a Participant or if a Participant returns his or her instruction form without indicating his or her instructions, then the Trustee shall not tender the shares of Common Stock credited to such Participant's accounts. With respect to any shares of Common Stock held in the Trust Fund in excess of the aggregate number of such shares credited to Participants' Accounts as of the Recent Valuation Date, the Trustee may tender or not tender such shares in its complete discretion. In communicating with Participants for the purpose of securing instructions as to whether to tender their shares of Common Stock, the Parent Company may cause to be included a statement from the Board of Directors of the Parent Company setting forth its position with respect to the tender offer. The giving of instructions to the Trustee to tender shares of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to constitute a withdrawal or suspension from the Plan or a forfeiture of any portion of a Participant's interest in the Plan.

APPENDIX C

        This Appendix is adopted to reflect certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). This Appendix is intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and is to be construed in accordance with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder. Except as otherwise provided, this Appendix shall be effective as of January 1, 2002.

        This Appendix shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Appendix.

I.

Limitations on contributions.

(a)

Effective date. This section shall be effective for limitation years beginning after December 31, 2001.

(b)

Maximum annual addition. Except to the extent permitted under item IX of this Appendix and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable, the annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to a participant's account under the Plan for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:

(1)

$40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Code, or

(2)

100 percent of the participant's compensation, within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, for the limitation year.

The compensation limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Section 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition.

II.

Increase in compensation limit.

The annual compensation of each participant taken into account in determining allocations for any plan year beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. Annual compensation means compensation during the plan year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.

III.

Modification of top-heavy rules

(a)

Effective date.    This section shall apply for purposes of determining whether the Plan is a top-heavy plan under Section 416(g) of the Code for plan years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code for such years. This section amends Article XI of the Plan.

(b)

Determination of top-heavy status.

(1)

Key employee.    Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was an officer of the Employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for plan years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with

60

---

Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

(2)

Determination of present values and amounts.    This section (b)(2) shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date.



(A)

Distributions during year ending on the determination date. The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "5-year period" for "1-year period."



(B)

Employees not performing services during year ending on the determination date.The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.



(c)

Minimum benefits.

Matching contributions.    Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

(d)

Minimum benefits for employees also covered under another plan:

No minimum contribution shall be made under this Plan for any plan year in which each participant who is a Non-Key Employee has a benefit under a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer that: (i) meets the benefit requirements of Section 416(c)(1) of the Code; and (ii) is guaranteed under the defined benefit plan under provisions intended to take effect in any year during which such plan is Top Heavy. A defined benefit plan shall be considered for purposes of this subsection only if it is in the aggregation group of which this Plan is a part.

IV.

Vesting of employer matching contributions.

(a)

Applicability.    This section shall apply to participants with accrued benefits derived from employer matching contributions who complete an hour of service under the Plan in a plan year beginning after December 31, 2001.

(b)

Vesting schedule.    A participant's accrued benefit derived from employer matching contributions shall vest as provided in (c) below.

61

---

(c)

A participant's accrued benefit derived from employer matching contributions shall vest according to the following schedule:

(d)

Except as otherwise provided for Prior Plan Accounts, the election in Section 9.01(f) of the Plan shall apply.

With respect to Prior Plan Accounts attributable to matching contributions that result from a future merger or acquisition, the election in Section 9.01(f) of the Plan shall apply except to the extent accelerated vesting is provided under the relevant acquisition or merger agreement.

With respect to Prior Plan Accounts attributable to matching contributions that are in existence on the date the amendment adding this Appendix is executed:

(i)

For participants with less than three years of vesting service, the participant's vested percentage shall be determined under the vesting schedule generally applicable to matching contribution accounts as specified above, but not less than the participant's vested percentage with respect to such account on the date the amendment adding this Appendix is executed.



(ii)

For participants with three or more years of vesting service, the participant's vested percentage shall be the greater of the vested percentage to which the participant would be entitled under the vesting schedule generally applicable to matching contribution accounts as specified above or the vested percentage to which the participant would be entitled under the vesting schedule previously applicable to such account.

V.

Direct rollovers of Plan distributions.

(a)

Effective date.    This section shall apply to distributions made after December 31, 2001.

(b)

Modification of definition of eligible retirement plan.    For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 6.07 of the Plan, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

(c)

Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship distributions.    For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 6.07 of the Plan, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.

(d)

Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include after-tax employee contributions.    For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 6.07 of the Plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.

62

---

However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

VI.

Rollovers from other plans.

The Plan will accept participant rollover contributions and/or direct rollovers of distributions made after December 31, 2001, from the following types of plans, beginning on January 1, 2002.

Direct Rollovers:

•

a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, including after-tax employee contributions.



•

an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, excluding after-tax employee contributions.



•

an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.

Participant Rollover Contributions from Other Plans:

•

a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code.



•

an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code.



•

an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.

Participant Rollover Contributions from IRAs:

The Plan will accept a participant rollover contribution of the portion of a distribution from an "conduit" individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income. (A "conduit" individual retirement account is an individual retirement account that was originally established with an eligible rollover distribution from another employer's plan described above and to which no other contributions have been made. After tax money cannot be rolled over to the Plan in this manner.)

VII.

Repeal of multiple use test.

The multiple use test described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401 (m)-2 and Section 3.08 of the Plan shall not apply for plan years beginning after December 31, 2001.

VIII.

Elective deferrals—contribution limitation.

No participant shall be permitted to have elective deferrals made under this Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under item IX of this and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable.

IX.

Catch-up contributions.

Catch-up Contributions shall apply to contributions after February 28, 2002.

63

---

All Employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.

Except as provided below, Catch-up contributions shall not require a separate election. Before-Tax Deposits shall automatically be treated as Catch-up contributions beginning with the first dollar that a participant defers in excess of the limit under Code Section 402(g). Other amounts deferred will be reclassified as Catch-up contributions to the extent necessary to enable the Plan to satisfy other applicable limitations. Catch-up contributions shall not be considered as Before-Tax Deposits for the purpose of determining the Company Matching Deposit pursuant to section 3.01(b) of the Plan. Catch-up contributions shall, however, be subject to the Plan's maximum limit on employee deferrals applicable to Before-Tax Deposits that is specified in section 3.01(a).

In the event that a participant could have made a Catch-up contribution if this Item IX had become effective on the first day of the plan year, but (a) as of the end of the first payroll period ending after February 28, 2002 would otherwise be prohibited from making additional deferrals due to the application of the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit or (b) as of the end of the first payroll period ending after March 31, 2002 would otherwise be prohibited from making additional deferrals due to the application of the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit and is precluded from making the maximum Catch-up Contribution during the month of March 2002 due to the plan's administrative procedures, such participant may elect to make a Catch-up contribution of an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) but only with respect to the first two payroll periods ending after March 31, 2002, provided that such deferral does not exceed the amount that the participant could have deferred under the Plan for such payroll period if the participant had earned no compensation prior to April 1, 2002.

X.

Suspension period following hardship distribution.

A participant who receives a distribution of elective deferrals after December 31, 2001, on account of hardship shall be prohibited from making elective deferrals and employee contributions under this and all other plans of the employer for 6 months after receipt of the distribution.

A participant who receives a distribution of elective deferrals in calendar year 2001 on account of hardship shall be prohibited from making elective deferrals and employee contributions under this and all other plans of the employer for 6 months after receipt of the distribution or until January 1, 2002, if later.

XI.

Distribution upon severance from employment.

(a)

Effective date. This section shall apply for distributions and severances from employment occurring after December 31, 2001.

(b)

New distributable event. A participant's elective deferrals, qualified nonelective contributions, qualified matching contributions, and earnings attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the participant's severance from employment. However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed.

XII.

Maximum salary reduction percentage. Effective April 1, 2002, Section 3.01(a) is amended to read as follows:

(a)

Before-Tax Deposits.    A Participant's Before-Tax Deposits will be the amount of a Participant's Plan Compensation that a Participant elects to have the Employer contribute to the Plan. A Participant may elect to reduce his Plan Compensation by a specified percentage indicated pursuant to his enrollment application. Such reduction, which must be expressed in whole percentages, shall be no less than one percent (1%) and shall not exceed ninety-nine percent (99%) of Plan Compensation. In no event shall Before-Tax Deposits exceed a Participant's Plan Compensation reduced by all appropriate payroll deductions and reductions other than the deferrals under this section. Such election must be made in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator and provided to the Participant prior to his Entry Date or, with respect to subsequent changes in such rules and procedures, the effective date of such changes. Before-Tax Deposits shall be contributed to the Trust as soon as practicable after the end of each applicable Contribution Period (but in no event later than the fifteenth business day of the month following the month in which the amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Participant if the amount had not been deferred pursuant to this Section unless this time period is extended as provided in Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-102).

Such deposits shall be allocated to the Participant for whom such contributions were made and credited to the Participant Account maintained for such Participant pursuant to Section 4.01.
