Overview



The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) rewards executives for exceptional financial
performance against Ogilvy's three-year business plan. The plan pays rewards in
the form of cash and WPP Group restricted stock. Plan terms beginning with
capitals are defined in the glossary.

Key facts

. Three-year plan. The LTIP is a three-year rolling plan -this means each year
a new three-year plan begins. Under the LTIP- members are awarded Performance
Shares. The value of the shares is determined by the financial performance of
Ogilvy over a three-year period.

. Performance Shares. Each year, you receive a fixed number of Performance
Shares based largely on your role and past contribution. Each share has a
target value of $100. The size of your grant defines your LTIP earnings
opportunity.

. Payouts based on financial performance. For each three-year plan, LTIP
financial performance targets are set that define how the performance Shares
will be valued.

. Payouts in cash and restricted stock. Your LTIP payout is made half in cash
and half in WPP Group restricted stock which vests over the two years
following the end of the performance period (50% each year).

. If you leave Ogilvy. Generally, if you retire from Ogilvy, become disabled,
die or take another position within the WPP Group, you keep a pro-rated
portion of your LTIP Performance Shares. Otherwise, you forfeit all
Performance Shares and non-vested restricted stock if you leave Ogilvy.

plan every year that pays out after the third year, providing performance
targets are met. So, starting with your fourth year at Ogilvy, you can receive
