<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.80in;text-align:left;'><font SIZE=3>Loans under the Facility may be eurocurrency rate loans or base rate loans.  Eurocurrency rate loans bear a periodic fixed rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus a margin

The Facility also permits the issuance of certain letters of credit.</font></p>

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On December 9, 2005, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. ("MMC") and certain of its foreign subsidiaries entered into a new $1.2 billion multi-currency five-year unsecured
revolving credit facility (the "Facility").
Loans under the Facility may be eurocurrency rate loans or base rate loans.  Eurocurrency rate loans bear a periodic fixed rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus a margin
determined on the basis of MMC's long-term senior unsecured debt rating.  Base rate loans bear a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the higher of (i) Citibank's base rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points.
The Facility also permits the issuance of certain letters of credit.
Subsidiary borrowings under the Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by MMC.  The Facility contains financial covenants setting forth MMC's maximum permitted ratio of
debt to adjusted EBITDA and minimum permitted ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense.  Amounts due under the Facility may be accelerated upon an event of default,
such as a breach of a representation or covenant, cross-default on certain other indebtedness or the occurrence of bankruptcy, if not otherwise waived or cured.
The Facility will expire on December 9, 2010.  It replaces MMC's $1.0 billion and $700 million revolving credit facilities, which were scheduled to expire in 2007 and
2009, respectively.  Those facilities were guaranteed by MMC's subsidiaries Marsh Inc., Mercer Inc. and Putnam Investments Trust.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. were joint lead arrangers for the Facility.  Citibank, N.A. is
Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch are Syndication Agents for the Facility.
