    Re: 2014 Bonuses

    On behalf of the Americas Operations Council, we are pleased to announce year-end bonuses to

    U.S. counsel and associates. The Firm is awarding bonuses for 2014 to New York associates as

    follows:

    Class Bonus Amount

    2006 $100,000

    2007 $100,000

    2008 $85,000

    2009 $70,000

    2010 $55,000

    2011 $40,000

    2012 $25,000

    2013 $15,000

    2014 $15,000 (pro-rated)

    High achieving associates who have substantially exceeded expectations, in terms of hours and

    outstanding contribution, will be eligible for an additional bonus amount in excess of the amount

    announced above for their level.

    As in the past, each U.S. office will determine and pay individual associate bonus amounts based

    on the respective office policy for associate bonuses (with each U.S. office outside of New York

    expected to make adjustments to the bonus range as necessary to accommodate for local market

    considerations and the offices policy). The bonuses of all U.S. counsel and other senior lawyers will be determined on an individual basis.

    Individual bonus decisions will be communicated in January to counsel and associates receiving

    bonuses, and will be paid to lawyers in good standing with the Firm in early February 2015.

    Additionally, bonuses will be pro-rated for any eligible associate who was on an unpaid leave

    during 2014.

    We would like to thank each of you for your efforts and contributions during 2014.
