As previously announced in a Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2008, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. ("
MMC
") and Michael G. Cherkasky, MMC's former president and chief executive officer, entered into a Separation and Release Agreement, dated February 15, 2008, containing, among other provisions, certain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants (the "
Separation Agreement
").
In connection with Mr. Cherkasky's appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of US Investigations Services, Inc. ("
USIS
"), MMC, Mr. Cherkasky, USIS and Providence Equity L.L.C. ("
Providence
"), a member of the private equity group that owns a controlling interest in USIS, entered into a Settlement Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2008 (the "
Settlement Agreement
").  The Settlement Agreement resolves any and all claims and disputes arising from the Separation Agreement and/or Mr. Cherkasky's prior employment agreement with MMC relating to the services to be performed by Mr. Cherkasky for USIS, and sets forth a framework for a continuing business relationship between MMC and its affiliates, on the one hand,
and USIS, Providence and their respective affiliates, on the other hand.
In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Settlement Agreement, USIS agreed to pay MMC an amount in cash equal to $10,000,000 within ten days of July 18, 2008.  In addition, as further described in Section 8 of the Settlement Agreement, USIS and Mr. Cherkasky have agreed that they will not solicit certain employees of MMC or its subsidiaries prior to the earlier of January 29, 2010 or the termination of Mr. Cherkasky's employment with USIS, and Mr. Cherkasky has agreed that, prior to January 29, 2010, he will not solicit persons or entities that he knows to be active clients of MMC or its affiliates for the purpose of providing such clients with certain products or services.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
