MMC, which is one of the largest insurance brokers, said it will pay ex-CEO Michael Cherkasky a lump sum as part of a separation agreement.

All unvested equity awards previously granted to Cherkasky -- who was forced out earlier this year after investors grew disgruntled with the company's poor financial performance -- will vest in full. But Cherkasky will not to be paid any bonus for 2007, according to MMC's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
