Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under Bermuda law, a company is permitted to indemnify its directors and officers subject to certain restrictions. Bye-law 1 and Bye-law 75 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bye-laws state:

“ Officer ” means a Director, Secretary, or other officer of the Company appointed pursuant to these Bye-laws, but does not include any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company;

“75. Exemption and Indemnification of Officers. Subject always to these Bye-laws, no Officer shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other Officer nor shall any Officer be liable in respect of any negligence, default or breach of duty on his or her own part in relation to the Company or any Subsidiary, or for any loss, misfortune or damage which may happen, in or arising out of the actual or purported execution or discharge of his or her duties or the exercise or purported exercise of his or her powers or otherwise in relation to or in connection with his or her duties, powers or office.

75.1. Subject always to these Bye-laws, every Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities, losses, damages or expenses (including but not limited to liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all legal and other costs and expenses properly payable) incurred or suffered by the Officer arising out of the actual or purported execution or discharge of the Officer’s duties (including, without limitation, in respect of his or her service at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another person) or the exercise or purported exercise of the Officer’s powers or otherwise, in relation to or in connection with the Officer’s duties, powers or office (including but not limited to liabilities attaching to the Officer and losses arising by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such Officer may be guilty in relation to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company).

75.2. Every Officer shall be indemnified out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities arising out of the actual or purported execution or discharge of the Officer’s duties or the exercise or purported exercise of the Officer’s powers or otherwise, in relation to or in connection with the Officer’s duties, powers or office, incurred by such Officer in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in the Officer’s favour, or in which the Officer is acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Acts in which relief from liability is granted to the Officer by the court.

Table of Contents

75.3. In this Bye-law 75 (i) the term “Officer” includes, in addition to the persons specified in the definition of that term in Bye-law 1, the Resident Representative, a member of a committee constituted under these Bye-laws, any person acting as an Officer or committee member in the reasonable belief that the Officer has been so appointed or elected, notwithstanding any defect in such appointment or election, and any person who formerly was an Officer or acted in any of the other capacities described in this clause (i) and (ii) where the context so admits, references to an Officer include the estate and personal representatives of a deceased Officer or any such other person.

75.4. The provisions for exemption from liability and indemnity contained in this Bye-law shall have effect to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, but shall not extend to any matter which would render any of them void pursuant to the Companies Acts.

75.5. To the extent that any person is entitled to claim an indemnity pursuant to these Bye-laws in respect of an amount paid or discharged by him or her, the relevant indemnity shall take effect as an obligation of the Company to reimburse the person making such payment (including advance payments of fees or other costs) or effecting such discharge.

75.6. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses provided by these Bye-laws shall not be deemed to be exclusive of, and are in addition to, any other rights to which a person may be entitled. Any repeal or amendment of this Bye-law 75 shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any Officer or the obligation of the Company with respect to any claim arising prior to any such repeal or amendment.

75.7. In so far as it is permissible under Applicable Law, each Shareholder and the Company agree to waive any claim or right of action the Shareholder or it may at any time have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Officer on account of any action taken by such Officer or the failure of such Officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company, provided , however , that such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud or dishonesty of such Officer or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such Officer is not legally entitled.

75.8. Subject to the Companies Acts, expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to this Bye-law 75 shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Bye-law 75.

75.9. Each Shareholder of the Company, by virtue of its acquisition and continued holding of a Share, shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the advances of funds may be made by the Company as aforesaid, and when made by the Company under this Bye-law 75 are made to meet expenditures incurred for the purpose of enabling such Officer to properly perform his or her duties as an Officer.”

The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its directors and officers indemnifying them against expenses, settlements, judgments and fines in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration or proceeding where the individual’s involvement is by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer or served at the Company’s request as a director or officer of another organization, except where such indemnification is not permitted under applicable law.

The officers and directors of the Company are covered by directors and officers insurance aggregating $100,000,000.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The Company hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; and

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Table of Contents

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

5.1 For the purposes of this Bye-law, unless otherwise expressly provided by the rights attached to any class of Shares, the rights attaching to any class of Shares shall be deemed not to be altered by the allotment or issue by the Company of other Shares ranking in priority of payment of dividends or with respect to capital, or which confer on the holders voting rights more favourable than those conferred on such class, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be altered by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with such class, or by the purchase or redemption by the Company of any of its own Shares.

SHARES

6. Shares at the Disposal of the Board. Subject to the other provisions of these Bye-laws, the unissued Shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original Share capital or any increased capital) shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options, warrants or other rights over or otherwise deal with or dispose of them to such persons, at such times and for such consideration and generally on such terms and conditions as the Board may from time to time determine. Shares may be issued in fractional denominations and in such event the Company shall deal with such fractions to the same extent as its whole Shares, so that a Share in a fractional denomination shall have, in proportion to the fraction of a whole Share that it represents, all the rights of a whole Share, including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote, to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding up.

7. Board May Pay Commissions. The Board may, in connection with the issue of any Shares, exercise all powers of paying commissions and brokerages conferred or permitted by Applicable Law.

8. Board May Repurchase Shares. The Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, authorise the acquisition by the Company of its own shares, of any class, at any price (whether at par or above or below par), and any shares to be so purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, to be held as treasury shares, upon such terms as the Board may in its discretion determine, provided always that such acquisition is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts. The whole or any part of the amount payable on any such acquisition may be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Acts. The Company shall be entered in the Register as a Shareholder in

respect of the shares held by the Company as treasury shares and shall be a Shareholder of the Company but subject always to the provisions of the Companies Acts and for the avoidance of doubt the Company shall not exercise any rights and shall not enjoy or participate in any of the rights attaching to those shares save as expressly provided for in the Companies Acts.

8.1 Subject to the provisions of these Bye-laws, any shares of the Company held by the Company as treasury shares shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may hold all or any of the shares disposed of or transfer all or any of the shares for cash or other consideration or cancel all or any of the shares.

INCREASE OF CAPITAL

9. Shareholder Approval to Increase of Capital. The Shareholders may from time to time increase the Company’s capital by such sum to be divided into Shares of such par value as the Shareholders by Resolution shall prescribe.

10. No Pre-emptive Rights. No holder of Shares of any class or other securities of the Company shall as such holder have any pre-emptive right to purchase Shares of any class or other securities of the Company or Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights or options to purchase Shares of any class of the Company, whether such Shares or other securities are now or hereafter authorised, which at any time may be proposed to be issued by the Company or subjected to rights or options to purchase granted by the Company.

11. Shares Subject to Bye-laws. All existing Shares and any new Shares shall be subject to all the provisions of these Bye-laws.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

12. Shareholder Approval to Alteration of Capital. The Shareholders may (subject to Bye-law 12.1) from time to time by Resolution:

(1) divide the Company’s Shares into several classes and attach to them respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions;

(2) consolidate and divide all or any of the Company’s share capital into Shares of larger par value than any of its existing Shares;

(3) sub-divide the Company’s Shares or any of them into Shares of smaller par value than is fixed by its memorandum, provided, however, that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in the case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived;

(4) make provision for the issue and allotment of Shares which do not carry any voting rights;

(5) cancel Shares which, at the date of the passing of the relevant Resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of the Company’s authorised share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled; and

(6) change the currency denomination of the Company’s share capital.

12.1 Where any disagreement arises in regard to any division, consolidation or sub-division under this Bye-law 12, the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient and, in particular, may arrange for the sale of the Shares representing fractions, and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among the Shareholders who would have been entitled to the fractions, except that any proceeds in respect of any holding which are less than a sum fixed by the Board may be retained for the benefit of the Company. For the purpose of any such sale, the Board may authorise some person to transfer the Shares representing fractions to the purchaser, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall such purchaser’s title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

13. Conversion of Preferred Shares. Subject to the Companies Acts and to any confirmation or consent required by Applicable Law or these Bye-laws, the Shareholders may from time to time by Resolution convert any Preferred Shares in the Company (unless otherwise expressly provided by the rights attaching to or by the terms of issue of the Preferred Shares in question) into redeemable Preferred Shares.

REDUCTION OF CAPITAL

14. Shareholder Approval to Reduction of Capital. Subject to the Companies Acts and to any confirmation or consent required by Applicable Law or these Bye-laws, the Shareholders may from time to time by Resolution authorise the reduction in any manner of the Company’s issued share capital (but not to a sum less than the minimum share capital prescribed by its memorandum) or any share premium account.

14.1 In relation to any such reduction, the Shareholders may by Resolution determine the terms upon which the reduction is to be effected, including, in the case of a reduction of part only of a class of Shares, those Shares to be affected.

Meetings of Shareholders

15. Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall be held in each calendar year on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which meeting the Shareholders shall elect directors, appoint auditors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. All other general meetings of the Shareholders called pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Act or these Bye-laws shall be referred to as Special General Meetings.

16. Special General Meetings. Special General Meetings of the Shareholders, may be called at any time for any purpose or purposes by the Board or as otherwise provided for by Applicable Law, and shall be held at such place, and at such hour as may be designated by the Board in the notice of the meeting; provided, however, that the time so fixed shall permit the giving of notice as provided in Bye-law 17, unless such notice is waived as provided by Applicable Law or by these Bye-laws. Special General Meetings shall also be called and held in such cases and in such manner as may be specifically required by the Companies Acts.

17. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of each meeting of the Shareholders, which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a Special General Meeting or where otherwise required by Applicable Law, the purpose or purposes for which it is called, shall be given, unless a different period is required by Applicable Law, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting, by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting, to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting by mail or by e-mail or any other electronic means at the Shareholder’s address as it appears on the Register of Shareholders or at any other address given in writing by such Shareholder to the Company for such purpose. Notice of each Annual or Special General Meeting shall also be given in the same manner as described above to any Director or Resident Representative of the Company who has delivered a written notice to the Company’s registered office requiring that such notice be sent to such person. Any notice given in the manner set forth in this Bye-law 17 shall be deemed duly given and shall be deemed to have been served five days after dispatch if sent by post or twenty-four (24) hours after its dispatch by any other means. Except as otherwise provided by these Bye-laws and the Companies Acts, no business other than that stated in the notice shall be transacted at any meeting without the unanimous consent of all the Shareholders entitled to vote thereat. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days after the date of the original meeting, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting, or (in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the notice) the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

18. Nature of Business at Meetings of Shareholders. Subject to the terms of these Bye-laws and the Companies Acts, no business may be transacted at an Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorised committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the Annual General Meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorised committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before the Annual General Meeting by any Shareholder of the Company (i) who is a Shareholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Bye-law 18 and on the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at such Annual General Meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bye-law 18.

18.1 In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an Annual General Meeting by a Shareholder, such Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company as provided below.

18.2 With regard to an Annual General Meeting, to be timely, a Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the Registered Office and the principal executive offices of the Company as set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual General Meeting of Shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the Annual General Meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the Shareholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the Annual General Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the Annual General Meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

18.3 To be in proper written form, a Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter such Shareholder proposes to bring before the Annual General Meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the Annual General Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the Annual General Meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such Shareholder, (iii) the class or series and number of Shares of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by such Shareholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such Shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Shareholder and any material interest of such Shareholder in such business and (v) a representation that such Shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

18.4 No business shall be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders except business brought before the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bye-law; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the Annual General Meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Bye-law shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any Shareholder of any such business. If the Chairman of an Annual General Meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

19. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, or these Bye-laws, at all meetings of the Shareholders, the holders of a majority of the Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business. The Chairman or a majority vote of the Board or the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereat, whether or not a quorum shall be present, may adjourn the meeting from time to time, to a specified date or place. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

19.1 As to any matter with respect to which a separate class vote is required by the terms of the Companies Acts, the holders of a majority of the Shares of such class which are then outstanding and entitled to vote shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the purpose of any separate vote required by such class.

19.2 The absence from any meeting of the number of Shares required by Applicable Law or these Bye-laws for action upon one matter shall not prevent action at such meeting upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the number of Shares required in respect of such other matters shall be present.

20. Organization. At each meeting of the Shareholders, the Chairman of the Board or, in his absence or inability to act, the most senior present Vice Chairman or, in the absence or inability to act of any Vice Chairman, the President or, in his absence or inability to act, a Vice President or, in his absence or inability to act, any person as may be designated by the Board or, in the absence of such designation, a chairman to be chosen at the meeting by the majority of those Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy shall act as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary or, in his absence or inability to act, an Assistant Secretary, or in his absence or inability to act, any person as may be designated from time to time by the Board shall act as secretary of each meeting of Shareholders and keep the minutes thereof; if no such person is present or has been chosen, the holders of record of a majority of Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting shall choose any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

Except as may otherwise be provided for in these Bye-laws, and subject to Applicable Law, at each meeting of Shareholders if there shall be a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on a matter brought before such meeting, shall decide such matter.

23. Proxies. Each Shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Any such proxy shall be delivered to the secretary of such meeting at or prior to the time designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies. Each such proxy shall be in writing in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and, executed by the Shareholder or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, but no such proxy shall be voted after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the Share itself or an interest in the Company generally.

23.1 The appointment of a proxy in relation to a particular meeting shall, unless the contrary is stated, be valid for any adjournment of the meeting and the appointment of a proxy in relation to a particular meeting or adjourned meeting shall unless the contrary is stated, be valid for any poll demanded at the meeting or adjourned meeting.

23.2 Subject to the Companies Act, the Board may also at its discretion waive any of the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to the execution and deposit of an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or any ancillary matter (including, without limitation, any requirement for the production or delivery of any instrument or other communication to any particular place or by any particular time or in any particular way) and, in any case in which it considers it appropriate, may accept such instrument or other form of communication evidencing the appointment of a proxy or such verbal or other assurances as it thinks fit as to the right of any person to attend and vote on behalf of any Shareholder at any general meeting.

24. List of Shareholders. A complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of each, and the number of Shares held by each, shall be prepared, or shall be caused to be prepared, by the Secretary and shall be open to examination of any Shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days

prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city in which the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Shareholder who is present. The Share ledger shall be the only evidence as to the Shareholders entitled to examine the Share ledger, the list required by these Bye-laws or the books of the Company, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the Shareholders.

25. Voting by Fiduciaries, Pledgors and Joint Owners. Persons holding Shares in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the Shares so held. Persons whose Shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Company he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such Shares and vote thereon.

25.1 If Shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants-in-common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same Shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:

(a) if only one votes, his act binds all;

(b) if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; and

(c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or any person voting the Shares, or a beneficiary, if any, may apply to such court as may have jurisdiction to appoint an additional person to act with the persons so voting the Shares, which shall then be voted as determined by a majority of such persons and the person appointed by the Court. If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this paragraph shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

26. Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Except in the case of the removal of auditors and Directors, anything which may be done by Resolution in general meeting may, without a meeting and without any previous notice being required, be done by Resolution in writing, signed by all of the Shareholders or their proxies, or in the case of a Shareholder that is a corporation (whether or not a company within the meaning of the Companies Acts) on behalf of such Shareholder, being all of the Shareholders of the Company who at the date of the Resolution in writing would be entitled to attend a meeting and vote on the Resolution. Such Resolution in writing may be signed in as many counterparts as may be necessary.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected.

27.3 No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bye-law 27. If the Chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

28. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board, which may exercise all such authority and powers of the Company and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by Applicable Law, or by these Bye-laws, directed or required to be exercised or done by the Shareholders or such other persons as provided therein.

A Director may retrospectively waive the requirement for notice of any meeting by consenting in writing to the business conducted at the meeting.

36. Quorum and Voting at Board Meetings. At all meetings of the Board the presence in person of the greater of two Directors, and one-third of the total number of Directors constituting the entire Board then in office, shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business by the Board at such meeting, except as otherwise provided by these Bye-laws or Applicable Law. At any meeting of the Board, no action shall be taken (except adjournment, in the manner provided below) until after a quorum has been established.

36.1 Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law or these Bye-laws, the act of a majority of Directors who are present at a meeting at which a quorum previously has been established (or at any adjournment of such meeting, provided that a quorum shall have previously been established at such adjourned meeting) shall be the act of the Board, regardless of whether or not a quorum is present at the time such action is taken. In determining the number of directors who are present at the time any such action is taken, any Director who is in attendance at such meeting but who, for just cause, is disqualified to vote on such matter, shall not be considered as being present at the time of such action for the purpose of establishing the number of votes required to take action on any matter submitted to the Board, but shall be considered as being present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

39. Telephonic Participation in Board Meetings. Any and all members of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone, satellite, video-conference or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting shall hear each other; participation in a meeting pursuant to this Bye-law 39 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

40. Compensation of Directors. Directors shall be entitled to such compensation for their services as Directors and to such reimbursement for any reasonable expense incurred in attending meetings of the Board as may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The compensation may be on such basis as is determined by the Board. Any Director may waive compensation for any meeting.

50. Written Consent in Lieu of Committee Meetings.

The seal of the Company shall be impressed, by original or by facsimile, printed or engraved, on all such certificates. A certificate may also be signed by the transfer agent and a registrar as the Board may determine, and in such case the signature of the transfer agent or the registrar may also be facsimile, engraved or printed. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Board or the Secretary, the Company may issue Shares in uncertificated form upon the initial issuance of such Shares or thereafter upon surrender of any certificates representing such Shares.

66. The Share Register. The Register shall be kept in the manner prescribed by the Companies Acts at the Registered Office or at such other place in Bermuda as may be authorised by the Board from time to time. The Company may also keep one or more branch registers at such place or places outside Bermuda to the extent and in the manner permitted by the Companies Acts, and the Board may make such regulations as it thinks fit regarding the keeping of any branch register and may revoke or vary any such regulations. The Board may authorise any Share on the Register to be included in a branch register or any Share registered on a branch register to be registered on another branch register, provided that at all times the Register is maintained in accordance with the Companies Acts.

67. Registration of Transfers. Registration of transfer of certificates representing Shares shall be effected only on the books of the Company only upon authorization by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a designated transfer agent or transfer clerk, and upon surrender to the Company or any transfer agent of the Company of the certificate or certificates being transferred, which certificate shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed share transfer in the usual common form or in any other form that the Board may from time to time approve, proof of all necessary government and regulatory approvals governing the transfer of the Shares and the payment of all taxes thereon. Whenever a certificate is endorsed by or accompanied by a share transfer form executed by someone other than the person or persons named in the certificate, evidence of authority to transfer shall also be submitted with the certificate. Whenever any transfers of Shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, and both the transferor and transferee request the Company to do so, such fact shall be stated in the entry of the transfer.

68. Transmission of Shares. In the case of the death of a Shareholder, the survivor or survivors, or the estate representative, as appropriate, shall be the only person or persons recognised by the Company as having any title to Shares held by such holder.

In this Bye-law, estate representative means the person to whom probate or letters of administration or confirmation as executor has or have been granted under the laws applicable to the estate of the deceased Shareholder or, failing such person, such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine to be the person recognised by the Company for the purpose of this Bye-law.

68.1. In the case of a person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder or otherwise by operation of Applicable Law, the Board may require the production to the Company of such evidence of such person’s entitlement as is prescribed by the Companies Acts or, to the extent that no such evidence is prescribed, as may from time to time be required by the Board. Upon production of such evidence the name and address of the person so entitled shall be noted in the Register.

68.2. Subject to these Bye-laws, any Person Entitled by Transmission to a Share shall be entitled to receive (and may give a discharge for) any dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the Share, to attend and vote in respect of the Share at general meetings of the Company and of the relevant class of Shareholders and generally to exercise in respect of the Share all of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder as if such person were registered as the holder of the Share.

68.3. Any Person Entitled by Transmission to a Share may elect either to be registered as the holder of the Share or to have a nominee registered as the transferee. Any such person electing to be registered shall deliver or send to the Company a signed written notice stating that such person so elects. Any such person electing to have a nominee registered shall signify that election by signing an instrument of transfer in favour of such nominee. All the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfer of Shares shall apply to any such notice or instrument of transfer as if the death of the Shareholder or other event giving rise to the transmission had not occurred and the notice or instrument of transfer was an instrument of transfer signed by such Shareholder.

68.4. The Board may at any time give notice requiring a Person Entitled by Transmission to a Share to elect either to be registered or to transfer the Share, and if the person does not comply with the notice within sixty (60) days the Board may withhold payment of all dividends and other moneys payable in respect of the Share until the person complies with the notice.

68.5. Subject to any directions of the Board from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise all powers and discretions of the Board under this Bye-law 68.

70. Regulations, Governing Issuance and Transfer of Shares. The Board shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with these Bye-laws, as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of Shares. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents or one or more transfer clerks and one or more registrars and may require all Share certificates to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

71. Fixing Record Date. In order that the Company may determine the Shareholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of Share or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, or these Bye-laws or by resolution of the Board:

(1) The record date for determining Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

(2) The record date for determining Shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and

(3) The record date for determining Shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

71.1 A determination of Shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

72. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Share Certificates. The holder of any certificates representing Shares shall immediately notify the Company of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such certificate, and the Board may authorize the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction upon the giving of an open penalty bond with surety satisfactory to the Treasurer and the Company’s counsel, to protect the Company or any person injured on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of a new certificate from any liability or expense which it or they may incur by reason of the original certificates remaining outstanding and upon payment of the Company’s reasonable costs incident thereto.

DIVIDENDS

73. Dividends and Reserves. Subject to the Companies Act and the rights attaching to a particular class or series of Shares, the Board may, out of funds available therefor, declare dividends upon Shares to be paid to the Shareholders, according to their respective rights and interests as and when they deem expedient, and may fix the time for payment of such dividends. The Company may deduct from any dividend, distribution or other monies payable to a Shareholder by the Company on or in respect of any Shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by the Shareholder to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of Shares. No dividend, distribution or other monies payable by the Company on or in respect of any Share shall bear interest against the Company. The Board of Directors may allocate a portion of the Company’s share premium (or paid in capital in excess of par) account to the Company’s par value account and thereby pay up in full unissued shares to be allocated as fully paid bonus shares pro rata to the Shareholders.

WINDING UP

74. Winding-Up. If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Resolution and any other sanction required by the Companies Acts:

(1) divide among the Shareholders in cash or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they consist of property of the same kind or not) and for such purposes set such value as the liquidator deems fair on any property to be so divided, and determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders, provided that in all events, amounts will be distributed pursuant to the rights attached to those Shares then outstanding; and

(2) vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any Shares or other assets upon which there is any liability.

75. Exemption and Indemnification of Officers. Subject always to these Bye-laws, no Officer shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other Officer nor shall any Officer be liable in respect of any negligence, default or breach of duty on his or her own part in relation to the Company or any Subsidiary, or for any loss, misfortune or damage which may happen, in or arising out of the actual or purported execution or discharge of his or her duties or the exercise or purported exercise of his or her powers or otherwise in relation to or in connection with his or her duties, powers or office.

75.2. Every Officer shall be indemnified out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities arising out of the actual or purported execution or discharge of the Officer’s duties or the exercise or purported exercise of the Officer’s powers or otherwise, in relation to or in connection with the Officer’s duties, powers or office, incurred by such Officer in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in the Officer’s favour, or in which the Officer is acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Acts in which relief from liability is granted to the Officer by the court.

75.5.

75.7. In so far as it is permissible under Applicable Law, each Shareholder and the Company agree to waive any claim or right of action the Shareholder or it may at any time have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Officer on account of any action taken by such Officer or the failure of such Officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company, provided however, that such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud or dishonesty of such Officer or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such Officer is not legally entitled.

75.9 Each Shareholder of the Company, by virtue of its acquisition and continued holding of a Share, shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the advances of funds may be made by the Company as aforesaid, and when made by the Company under this Bye-law 75 are made to meet expenditures incurred for the purpose of enabling such Officer to properly perform his or her duties as an Officer.

Bermuda

Dear Sirs,

Re: Nabors Industries Ltd. ( the “Company”)

We have acted as special Bermuda legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on 29 July 2016 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of 8,000,000 common shares par value US$0.001 (the “Common Shares”), issuable pursuant to the Nabors Industries Ltd. 2016 Stock Plan (the “Plan”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined copies of the Registration Statement and the Plan. We have also reviewed the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company, each certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Company on 29 July 2016, minutes of a meeting of the Company’s directors held on 28-29 April 2016, minutes of a meeting of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company held on 28 April 2016 and minutes of a meeting of the members of the Company held on 7 June 2016 (together, the “Resolutions”) and such other documents and made such enquires as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) of all documents examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken, (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention, (c) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Registration Statement, the Plan and other documents reviewed by us, (d) that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings, or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended, (e) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein, (f) the validity and binding effect under the laws of State of Delaware of the Plan in accordance with its terms; (g) that there is no provision of any Award Agreement (as defined in the Plan) which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; (h) that, upon the issue of any Common Shares, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof, (i) that on the date of issuance of any of the Common Shares the Company will have sufficient authorised but unissued common shares, (j) that the Company’s shares will be listed on an appointed stock exchange, as defined in the Companies Act 1981, as amended, and the consent to the issue and free transfer of the Common Shares given by the Bermuda Monetary Authority dated 2 December 2002 will not have been revoked or amended at the time of issuance of any Common Shares.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda. This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Common Shares by the Company pursuant to the Plan and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda government authority or to pay any Bermuda government fees or tax which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

2. When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

(d) Subject to section 162(m) of the Code and except as required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act with respect to grants of Awards to individuals who are subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act, or as otherwise required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or other applicable law, the Administrator may delegate all or any part of its authority under the Plan to an Employee, Employees or committee of Employees.

(e) If at any time (whether before or after Termination of employment) a majority of either the Board or the Committee determines that a Participant has engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, dishonesty, or any other conduct inimical to the Company, either the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) may provide for the immediate forfeiture of any Award held by the Participant, whether or not then vested. Any determination by the Board or Committee (as the case may be) under this subsection (e) shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

Section 4. Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan.

(a) There shall be reserved and available for issuance under the Plan 8,000,000 Common Shares, no more than 8,000,000 of which may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options.

The grant of any Restricted Stock Units or SARs that may be settled only in cash shall not reduce the number of Common Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan.

(b) Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan only to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award. To the extent that (i) an Option expires or is otherwise cancelled or terminated without being exercised as to the underlying Shares, (ii) any Shares subject to any award of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, or Stock Bonus are forfeited, (iii) payment for an Option upon exercise is made with Shares owned by the Optionee, (iv) Shares are withheld from payment of an Award in satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax and applicable employment tax withholding requirements, or (v) Shares are surrendered in payment of the exercise price or purchase price of an Award, such Shares shall again be available for issuance in connection with future Awards granted under the Plan.

(c) The aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards under this Plan (including Awards payable in cash but denominated in Common Shares, i.e., cash-settled Restricted Stock Units or SARs) may be granted to any individual Participant, including nonemployee directors, during any calendar year shall not exceed 3,000,000.

(d) Separate certificates or a book-entry registration representing Common Shares shall be delivered to a Participant pursuant to an Award contemplating delivery of Shares; provided, however, any Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award may be held in the custody of the Company until the vesting conditions of such Award are satisfied

Section 5. Equitable Adjustments.

In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of Common Shares or other property reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the kind, number and/or option price of Shares or other property subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, (iii) the kind, number and/or purchase price of Shares or other property subject to outstanding awards of Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan, and (iv) the limitation on awards to an individual Participant set forth in Section 4(c) in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Awards reduced (but not below zero), in the case of Options, by the Exercise Price thereof, and in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights, by the grant price thereof, or by any other applicable purchase price.

Section 6. Eligibility.

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients. The Administrator shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Recipient Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or a Stock Bonus.

Section 7. Options.

(a) General. Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Any Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Participants who are granted Options shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, in such form as the Administrator shall determine, which Award Agreement shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. The Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)-(i) of this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable.

(b) Exercise Price. The per share Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date (or, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date if, on such date, the Eligible Recipient owns (or is deemed to own under the Code) stock possessing more than 10% (a “Ten Percent Owner”) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or its Subsidiaries).

(c) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Option is granted. If the Eligible Participant is a Ten Percent Owner, an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(d) Exercisability. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments.

(e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of any properly executed cashless exercise procedure, subject to approval by the Administrator, (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Optionee to the extent the Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, provided that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment in the form of already owned Shares may be authorized only at the time of grant, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. For example, the Administrator may permit an Optionee to pay all or a portion of the aggregate exercise price by withholding from the Shares issuable to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option Shares with a Fair Market Value (determined as of the same day as the exercise of the Option) equal to all or a portion of the exercise price to be so paid.

(f) Rights as Shareholder. An Optionee shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until the Optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, and has satisfied the requirements of Section 15 hereof.

(g) Nontransferability of Options. The Optionee shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any Option other than by will and the laws of descent and distribution, and all Options shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, in each case, except as set forth in the following two sentences. During an Optionee’s lifetime, the Administrator may, in its discretion, permit the transfer, assignment or other encumbrance of an outstanding Option if such Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option that the Administrator and the Participant intend to change to a Nonqualified Stock Option. Subject to the approval of the Administrator and to any conditions that the Administrator may prescribe, an Optionee may, upon providing written notice to the Company, elect to transfer any or all Options described in the preceding sentence (i) to or for the benefit of members of his or her Immediate Family, (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust, or (iii) for charitable purposes.

(h) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason other than the Participant’s resignation or Termination for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant that are vested on the date of Termination shall not expire until the earlier of the stated expiration date of the Options or 90 days following the date of Termination. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate for Cause or due to the Participant’s resignation, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire and be forfeited on the date of such Termination (whether or not then vested or exercisable).

(i) Continued Service as a Director. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, for purposes of Section 7(h) above, in the event a Participant who is also a Director for the Company has a Termination of employment but continues to serve as a Director of the Company, such Participant’s Option shall not expire 90 days following the date of Termination as is provided in Section 7(h) above, but instead shall continue in full force and effect until such Participant ceases to be a Director of the Company, but in no event beyond the stated expiration date of the Options as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(j) Limitation on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

Section 8. Restricted Stock.

(a) General. Awards of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards of Restricted Stock shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Stock; and the

Restricted Period (as defined in Section 8(d)) applicable to awards of Restricted Stock. The provisions of the awards of Restricted Stock need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b) Purchase Price. The price per Share, if any, that a Recipient must pay for Shares purchasable under an award of Restricted Stock shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant.

(c) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of an Award of Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement evidencing the Award and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within such period as the Administrator may specify after the award date. Such Award of Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, a book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. If a stock certificate is issued, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award, provided that the Company may require that the stock certificates evidencing Restricted Stock granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.

(d) Vesting/Nontransferability. Any Award of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in this paragraph (d). During such period as may be set by the Administrator in the Award Agreement (the “Vesting Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or assign Shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator may also impose such other restrictions and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals, on Restricted Stock as it determines in its sole discretion. The Vesting Period shall be not less than three years, provided that the Vesting Period may be shorter (but not less than one year) if vesting of the Restricted Stock is conditioned upon the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals. However, in no event shall the Vesting Period end with respect to a Restricted Stock Award prior to the satisfaction by the Participant of any liability arising under Section 15 hereof. Any attempt to dispose of any Restricted Stock in contravention of any such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect.

(e) Rights as a Shareholder. Except as provided in Section 8(c) and (d), the Participant shall possess all incidents of ownership with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock during the Vesting Period, including the right to receive or reinvest dividends with respect to such Shares (except that the Administrator may provide in its discretion that any dividends paid in property other than cash shall be subject to the same restrictions as those that apply to the underlying Restricted Stock) and to vote such Shares. Certificates for unrestricted Shares shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after, and only after, the Restricted Period shall expire without forfeiture in respect of such awards of Restricted Stock except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.

(f) Termination of Employment. The rights of Participants granted an Award of Restricted Stock upon Termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the Vesting Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement governing such Award.

Section 9. Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Vesting. At the time of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, to be contained in the Award Agreement, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals. The Administrator may divide such Restricted Stock Units into classes and assign different vesting conditions for each class. Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 9(c), upon the satisfaction of all vesting conditions with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, such Restricted Stock Unit shall vest. The provisions of the awards of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b) Benefit Upon Vesting. Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, within 30 days of the date on which such Restricted Stock Unit vests, an amount in cash or, in the

Company’s sole discretion, in Common Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of (1) the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date on which such Restricted Stock Unit vests and (2) the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid with respect to a Common Share during the period commencing on the date on which the Restricted Stock Unit was granted and terminating on the date on which such Share vests. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, if a Restricted Stock Unit is to be settled in Common Shares, the Restricted Stock Unit shall vest not earlier than three years from the date of grant, provided that the Restricted Stock Unit may vest earlier (but not less than one year from the date of grant) if vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit is conditioned upon the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals.

(c) Termination of Employment. The rights of Participants granted a Restricted Stock Unit upon Termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason before the Restricted Stock Unit vests shall be set forth in the Award Agreement governing such Award.

Section 10. Stock Bonus Awards.

In the event that the Administrator grants a Stock Bonus, such Award may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, a book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. If a share certificate for the Common Shares constituting such Stock Bonus is issued, such certificate shall be issued in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is payable. The Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to a Stock Bonus shall not exceed the salary or cash bonus otherwise payable to the Participant on the date of grant, and the Stock Bonus shall be in lieu of an amount of the Participant’s salary or cash bonus equal to such Fair Market Value.

Section 11. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Administrator may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SAR. The Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine the number of SARs granted to each Participant (subject to Section 4 hereof) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs, including any conditions relating to the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals or other corporate or individual performance goals as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The provisions of the awards of SARs need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b) Grant Price. The grant price of a Freestanding SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The grant price of Tandem SARs shall equal the Exercise Price of the related Option.

(c) Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then exercisable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option: (i) the Tandem SAR shall expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Incentive Stock Option; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Exercise Price of the underlying Incentive Stock Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Incentive Stock Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option exceeds the Exercise Price of the Incentive Stock Option.

(d) Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Administrator, in its sole discretion, imposes upon them.

(e) SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the grant price, the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine.

(f) Term of SARs. The term of an SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term shall not exceed ten (10) years.

(g) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the grant price;

(ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. The Administrator’s determination regarding the form of SAR payout shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the SAR.

Section 12. Effect of Corporate Change.

(a) Board Action. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of a “corporate change” defined in paragraph (c) below) or upon Termination of employment or service under specified circumstances during a specified period following such a corporate change, the Board shall have the authority in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Participant, to take any one or more of the following actions with respect to the Awards on such terms and conditions as it may determine, which alternatives may vary among individual Participants and which may vary among Awards held by any individual Participant:

(i) the Board may accelerate vesting and the time at which all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date fixed by the Board or the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate, or the Board or the Committee may accelerate vesting and the time at which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for their then remaining term;

(ii) the Board may require the mandatory surrender to the Company by all or selected Participants of some or all of the outstanding Awards held by such Participants (irrespective of whether such Awards are then exercisable or vested under the provisions of the Plan) as of a date specified by the Board or the Committee, in which event the Board or the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards, and the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Participant with respect to his or her surrendered and cancelled Awards an amount in cash or other property equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Awards as of the date of such surrender and cancellation, reduced (but not below zero), in the case of Options, by the Exercise Price(s) thereof, and in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights, the grant price(s) thereof, or by any other applicable purchase price;

(iii) the Board may waive all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit then outstanding with the result that those types of Awards shall be deemed satisfied, and the Restricted Period or other limitations on payment in full with respect thereto shall be deemed to have expired, as of the date of the corporate change or such other date as may be determined by the Board;

(iv) the Board may cause the acquirer to assume the Plan and the Awards or exchange the Awards for awards for the acquirer’s stock;

(v) the Board may terminate the Plan and all outstanding unvested or unexercised Awards as of the date of the corporate change; and

(vi) the Board may make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Board deems appropriate to reflect such corporate change and to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights (provided, however, that the Board may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then outstanding), including without limitation, adjusting such an Award to provide that the number and class of shares of stock covered by such Award shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover securities of the surviving or acquiring entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or other property (including, without limitation, cash) as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 12, the Board shall not be required to take any action described in the preceding provisions of this Section 12, and any decision made by the Board, in its sole discretion, not to take some or all of the actions described in the preceding provisions of this Section 12 shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to the Company and all other interested persons. Further, nothing in this Section 12 shall be interpreted to preclude the Administrator from taking any action permitted pursuant to Section 5 hereof with respect to a corporate change that also constitutes a Change in Capitalization.

(c) For purposes of this Section 12, the term “corporate change” shall mean (i) the Company shall not be the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of any entity), (ii) the Company sells, leases, or exchanges all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity, (iii) the Company is dissolved and liquidated, (iv) any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, the power to vote) of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based upon voting power), or (v) the individuals who, as of February 19, 2016, constitute members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board (provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered for purposes of this definition as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for these purposes, any such individual whose initial assumption of the office as a director occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any individual, entity or group other than the Board).

Section 13. Amendment and Termination.

(a) The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but (i) no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent, and (ii) any amendment shall be subject to approval of shareholders if such approval is required in order to satisfy the requirements of any applicable section of the Code, stock exchange rules or other law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Award Agreement, the Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retrospectively, and may provide for accelerated vesting of an Award upon the occurrence of a change in control or such other event as the Committee shall determine, or upon a Participant’s death, disability, or Termination of employment or service (other than Participant’s retirement or Termination of employment or service by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause), but only to the extent that such acceleration of vesting would not cause the application of section 409A of the Code or create adverse tax consequences under section 409A. No Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code shall provide or allow for vesting other than as permitted by that section. Subject to Section 4 of the Plan, no amendment to any Award shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent.

(c) Any amendment (including any decrease in the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option) shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is required in order to satisfy the requirements of any applicable section of the Code, stock exchange rules or other law.

Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

Section 15. Withholding Taxes.

(a) Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding requirements related thereto. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery Shares or by delivering Shares already owned by the Participant, in each case having a value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 15(a), withholding taxes may be based on rates in excess of the minimum required tax withholding rates if (i) the Administrator (A) determines that such withholding would not result in adverse accounting, tax or other consequences to the Company or any Affiliate (other than immaterial administrative reporting or similar consequences) and (B) authorizes withholding at such greater rates and (ii) the holder of the Award consents to such withholding at such greater rates.

(b) If the Participant makes a disposition, within the meaning of section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Share or Shares issued to such Participant pursuant to such Participant’s exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, and such disposition occurs within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of grant or within the one-year period commencing on the day after the date of exercise, such Participant shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) thereof and thereafter immediately deliver to the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) any amount of federal, state or local income taxes and other amounts which the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) informs the Participant the Company (or Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be) is required to withhold.

Section 16. General Provisions.

(a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any interests in the Plan or any Common Shares to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws.

(b) All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. The Administrator may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such Shares make such agreements and representations as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

(c) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval, if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible

Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of an Eligible Recipient at any time.

(d) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

(e) If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected, but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.

(f) The Plan and all Awards shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

(g) Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held by employees, directors or service providers of other corporations who are about to become employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the shares of the employing corporation, as the result of which it becomes a Subsidiary or Affiliate under the Plan. The terms and conditions of the Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan at the time of such grant as the Administrator may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are made.

(h) Section 409A.

(i) The Plan is intended to comply with the section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, including the exemption for short-term deferrals, and it shall be construed, interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent. The Company makes no representations that the Plan, the administration of the Plan, or the amounts payable hereunder comply with, or are exempt from, section 409A of the Code and the Company undertakes no obligation to ensure such compliance or exemption. If an operational failure occurs with respect to the section 409A of the Code, any affected Participant shall fully cooperate with the Company to correct the failure, to the extent possible, in accordance with any correction procedure established by the Secretary of the Treasury.

(ii) For purposes of section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Plan and the Award Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code.

(iii) In the event that the Termination of a Participant would affect the timing of the payment of any Award that provides for the “deferral of compensation” under section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, “Termination” shall mean, but only for purposes of determining the timing of such payment (and not for any other purposes, such as the determination of the occurrence of a forfeiture a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.409A-1(h).

(iv) In the event any one or more amounts payable under any Award (whether in cash, Shares or otherwise) constitute a “deferral of compensation” and become payable on account of the “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.409A-1(h)) of a Participant who as of the date such separation from service is a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.409A-1(i)), such amounts shall not be paid to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary, if applicable) before the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh calendar month beginning after the date of the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death following such separation from service. Where there is more than one such amount, each shall be considered a separate payment and all such amounts that would otherwise be payable prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence shall be accumulated (without interest) and paid together on the date specified in the preceding sentence. The

purpose of this Section 16(h)(v) is to comply with Treasury regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(2), and its provisions, including the quoted terms, shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations.

Section 17. Shareholder Approval; Effective Date of Plan.

The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the Company’s shareholders.

Section 18. Term of Plan.

No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.
