Exhibit 10.1

PROPOSAL EIGHT: AMENDMENT TO THE GLOBAL INDEMNITY PLC SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

On February 8, 2015, our Board adopted, subject to shareholder approval, Amendment No. 1 (the “Share Incentive Plan Amendment”) to the Global Indemnity plc Share Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”). We are asking our shareholders to approve the Share Incentive Plan Amendment to increase the maximum number of shares underlying stock options that may be granted to a participant from 100,000 to 300,000 during any fiscal year.

We believe that the proposed increase will provide us with the flexibility we expect we will need in determining the elements of equity compensation for each of our senior executives and directors through February 9, 2019. In addition, the primary purpose of the Share Incentive Plan is to provide Global Indemnity a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining and motivating officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors, and to provide Global Indemnity with a share plan providing incentives linked to the financial results of the Company’s business and increases in shareholder value. The Share Incentive Plan Amendment helps effectuate this purpose.

We are asking shareholders to approve the Share Incentive Plan Amendment in order, to the extent permitted by law, to preserve the tax deductible status for certain awards granted under the Share Incentive Plan. The Share Incentive Plan would authorize performance-based stock awards that would give the Company the flexibility to structure stock-based awards as performance-based within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of `1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Section 162(m) generally denies a tax deduction to any publicly held corporation for certain compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the three most highly paid executive officers, other than the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the corporation (collectively, the “covered employees”) in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to a covered employee exceeds $1.0 million. However, certain types of compensation, including “qualified performance-based compensation,” are exempt from this deduction limitation. In order to qualify for the exemption for qualified performance-based compensation, Section 162(m) of the Code generally requires, among other things, that (i) the compensation must be paid solely upon account of the attainment of one or more pre-established objective performance goals, (ii) the performance goals must be established by a compensation committee comprised of two or more “outside directors,” (iii) the material terms of the performance goals (including the maximum amount of compensation that could be paid to the employee) must be disclosed to and approved by the Shareholders, and (iv) the compensation committee of “outside directors” must certify that the performance goals have been met prior to payment.

Section 162(m) of the Code contains a special rule for stock options and stock appreciation rights, which provides that stock options and SARs will satisfy the qualified performance-based compensation exception if the awards are made by a qualifying compensation committee, the plan sets forth the maximum number of shares that can be granted to any person within a specified period and the compensation is based solely on an increase in the stock price after the grant date.

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for the Company to provide an incentive plan under which compensation awards made to covered employees can be deducted by the Company for federal income tax purposes. If Shareholders do not approve the Amended and Restated Plan, the Company may not be entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the performance-based compensation paid to its covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Anticipated Future Equity Awards

The Company has made a contingent grant to our CEO of options to acquire 300,000 A ordinary shares and a contingent grant to an employee of options to acquire 200,000 A ordinary shares. Each grant is subject to shareholder approval of the Share Incentive Plan Amendment as the Annual General Meeting. Other than these contingent grants, the benefits that will be awarded or paid under the Share Incentive Plan in the future cannot currently be determined. The number of awards (if any) that an employee or director may receive under the Share Incentive Plan is in the discretion of the Compensation and Benefits Committee and the committee has not determined future awards or who receive them except for the identified contingent grants. If the Share Incentive Plan Amendment is approved, these contingent grants will be effective. If shareholder approval is not obtained, then these grants will not be effective.

By way of background, please see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and related compensation tables for a discussion of our executive compensation philosophy and for information regarding equity awards to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2014. In addition, the table below sets forth the estimated awards of all types to be made under the Share Incentive Plan during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. In addition, as described below under “Director Compensation”, pursuant to our director compensation program, our non-employee directors are eligible to receive an annual retainer to be paid in part in restricted Global Indemnity A ordinary shares, subject to certain parameters.

Currently Available Shares and Outstanding Awards under the Share Incentive Plan

As of April 3, 2015, 298,894 restricted A ordinary shares and options to acquire 25,000 A ordinary shares had been granted under the Share Incentive Plan since its adoption in 2014, and 1,701,106 A ordinary shares remained available for future grants (not including the identified contingent grants). The 25,000 options to acquire A ordinary shares have been forfeited. After taking into consideration the contingent grants, there would be approximately 1,201,206 A ordinary shares remaining for future grants under the Share Incentive Plan.

The following table shows information regarding the grants of such awards among the persons and groups identified below (not including the identified contingent grants).

Equity Compensation Plan Information

For a discussion of equity compensation plan information, please see the disclosure related to equity compensation under “Equity Compensation Plan Information” below.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Share Incentive Plan, as amended by the Share Incentive Plan Amendment, and does not include all of the provisions of the Share Incentive Plan so amended. For further information about the Share Incentive Plan as so amended, we refer you to a complete copy of the Share Incentive Plan and the Share Incentive Plan Amendment, which are both attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

The Share Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted shares and other share-based awards and performance-based compensation awards (collectively the “Awards”). The Share Incentive Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. On April 3, 2015, the market value of the shares underlying contingent awards made under the Share Incentive Plan and the shares available for future grants under the Share Incentive Plan was $49,042,885.98.

Administration

The Share Incentive Plan provides that it will be administered by the Compensation & Benefits Committee of our Board, or another committee of the Board constituted so as to permit awards under the Share Incentive Plan to comply with the “non-employee director” provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and the “outside director” requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, or, absent a committee to administer the Share Incentive Plan, the Board. The administrator is empowered to select who may participate in the Share Incentive Plan; determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted; determine the number of A ordinary shares covered by each Award; determine the terms and conditions of any Award, including vesting; subject to the terms of the Share Incentive Plan, modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, including to reduce the exercise price of an outstanding stock option or other share-based award or to cancel and replace stock options with a below Fair Market Value exercise price; determine to what extent and under what circumstances awards or payments thereunder shall be deferred; adopt, alter and repeal administrative rules for the Share Incentive Plan; interpret the terms and provisions of the Share Incentive Plan and any Award issued; adopt any sub-plans as deemed necessary; and otherwise supervise and administer the Share Incentive Plan.

A Ordinary Shares Subject to the Share Incentive Plan; Equity Restructuring Transactions and Acquisition Events

The Share Incentive Plan makes available the number of A ordinary shares described above, subject to adjustments. If any outstanding Award is terminated without being exercised or forfeited, the shares subject to such Awards will again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Share Incentive Plan. In addition, in determining the number of A ordinary shares available for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”), if A ordinary shares have been delivered or exchanged by a participant as full or partial payment to the Company for payment of the exercise price, or for payment of withholding taxes, or if the number of A ordinary shares otherwise deliverable has been reduced for payment of the exercise price or for payment of withholding taxes, the number of A ordinary shares exchanged or reduced as payment in connection with the exercise or for withholding shall again be available for purposes of Awards other than ISOs.

The total number of A ordinary shares subject to any option which may be granted under the Share Incentive Plan to any participant is 300,000 during each fiscal year of Global Indemnity and shall be cumulative; that is, to the extent that A ordinary shares for which options are permitted to be granted during a fiscal year to a participant are not covered by a grant of an option, such A ordinary shares available for grants to such a participant automatically increase in subsequent fiscal years during the term of the Share Incentive Plan until used. The total number of other share based awards, as defined in the Share Incentive Plan, contingent upon the attainment of performance goals granted to any participant in any fiscal year shall not exceed 50,000.

In the event any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, spin-off, stock dividend, share split, reverse share split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the A ordinary shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets or business or other change in corporate structure affecting the A ordinary shares occurs or is proposed (such an event, an “Equity Restructuring”), the administrator shall make such substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number and kind of shares or other property reserved for issuance under the Plan or any limitations under the Plan, in the number, kind and exercise price of shares or other property subject to outstanding Awards, as applicable, and/or such other substitution or adjustments, in each case as the administrator shall determine in its discretion to be appropriate, such that the value of the adjusted shares or other property immediately prior to the Equity Restructuring is the same as the value of such adjusted shares or other property immediately following the Equity Restructuring, provided that, in no case shall such determination adversely affect in any material respect the rights of a participant. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, the administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding stock option and payment in cash or other property in exchange therefor in an amount equal to the excess at such time, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying A ordinary shares over the per share exercise price for such stock options.

In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s outstanding A ordinary shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Acquisition Events”), then the administrator may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding stock options, subject to certain notice and acceleration provisions set forth in the Share Incentive Plan.

Participants

Persons who are (a) Global Indemnity’s officers, directors, employees and consultants, (b) at the time of grant may be performing services for Global Indemnity, including officers, directors, employees and affiliates (a “Fox Paine Participant”) of Fox Paine; and (c) non-employee directors of Global Indemnity, are eligible to be granted Awards under the Share Incentive Plan . As of April 3, 2015, approximately 40 employees, including all of our executive officers, would be eligible to participate in the programs approved under the Share Incentive Plan. In addition, a small number of other service providers that we may engage from time-to-time and the non-employee members of the Board would be eligible to receive Awards under the Share Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

A stock option granted under the Share Incentive Plan permits the holder to purchase from Global Indemnity a stated number of A ordinary shares at an exercise price established by the administrator. Stock Options shall be evidenced by an option agreement and are subject to the terms of the Share Incentive Plan. Options will be designated as either nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of an A Ordinary Share on the date of the grant. The exercise price of ISOs granted to a 10% or greater shareholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The term of each stock option shall be determined by the administrator on the date of the grant, but may not exceed ten years (or, in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% or greater shareholder, five years). Stock options are non-transferable other than by will or by laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise permitted to a family member, under the holder’s option agreement and, if such holder of stock options is a party to the Management Shareholders Agreement, subject to the restrictions in the Management Shareholders Agreement dated as of September 5, 2003, as amended and/or restated, among Global Indemnity and certain Fox Paine affiliates (the “Management Shareholders Agreement”). The Management Shareholders Agreement contains certain restrictions on the transferability of the Award, and a right of first refusal and purchase right in favor of Global Indemnity with respect to the Award. Payment of the exercise price of stock options may be made by certified or bank check or such other instrument or method of payment as the administrator may accept. Unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, payment may also be made in the form of fully vested A ordinary shares under specified circumstances. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, exercise of a stock option through a broker’s cashless exercise or through “net settlement” in A ordinary shares is also permitted. After termination for any reason other than Cause, as defined in the Share Incentive Plan, including death or disability, of a participant, he or she may exercise his or her option, to the extent vested, for the period of time specified in the option agreement. In the absence of a specified time in the option agreement, the option will remain exercisable for ninety (90) days following a termination. However, an option generally may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term. If a participant is terminated for Cause, or at the time the such participant voluntarily terminates employment within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a termination for Cause, the option will be cancelled immediately upon such termination, and will not then be exercisable by such participant.

Restricted Shares

Restricted share awards are A ordinary shares that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator shall determine to whom and the time at which grants of restricted shares will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any participant, the purchase price, the vesting conditions, the times within which such awards may be subject to cancellation, repurchase and transfer restrictions and any other terms and conditions of the awards, in addition, with respect to each Fox Paine Participant, to those contained in the Management Shareholders Agreement and the Articles of Association. The terms and conditions of each award shall be evidenced by a restricted share agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the restricted share agreement, upon a participant’s termination for any reason during the relevant restriction period, all unvested restricted shares shall be forfeited.

Other Share-Based Awards

The administrator is authorized to grant other share-based awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to A ordinary shares and to set the terms and conditions of such grants in accordance with the Share Incentive Plan. Other share-based awards may include, but are not limited to, A ordinary shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, A ordinary shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan, share appreciation rights, share equivalent units, and awards valued by reference to book value of A ordinary shares. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, the recipient of share-based awards will be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of A ordinary shares covered by the Award, as determined at the time of the award by the administrator, in its sole discretion.

Performance Criteria

The administrator may design any Award so that the amounts of A ordinary shares payable thereunder are treated as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance

goals established for purposes of an award of performance-based awards intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code shall be based on one or more of the following performance criteria: (i) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified percentage increase in, revenues, income before taxes and extraordinary items, net income, operating income, earnings before income tax, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or a combination of any or all of the foregoing; (ii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage increase in, after-tax or pre-tax profits including, without limitation, that attributable to continuing and/or other operations; (iii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, operational cash flow; (iv) the achievement of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level of increase in, all or a portion of, the Company’s bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or private debt or other similar financial obligations of the Company, which may be calculated net of such cash balances and/or other offsets and adjustments as may be established by the Committee; (v) earnings per share or the attainment of a specified percentage increase in earnings per share or earnings per share from continuing operations; (vi) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in return on capital employed or return on invested capital; (vii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage increase in, after-tax or pre-tax return on shareholders’ equity; (viii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, economic value added targets based on a cash flow return on investment formula; (ix) the attainment of certain target levels in the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s ordinary shares; (x) the growth in the value of an investment in the Company’s ordinary shares assuming the reinvestment of dividends; (xi) the attainment of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level in or increase in, all or a portion of controllable expenses or costs or other expenses or costs or a reduction of the loss ratio, expense ratio, or combined ratio; (xii) achievement of certain targets with respect to the Company’s book value, assets or liabilities.

Performance goals may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of Global Indemnity performance under one or more measures described above relative to the performance of other companies. To the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the administrator may designate additional business criteria on which performance goals may be based or adjust, modify or amend the aforementioned business criteria.

Term, Amendment and Termination

The Share Incentive Plan expires on February 9, 2019, five years from its adoption by the Board. Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the expiration of the Share Incentive Plan and shall remain subject to the Share Incentive Plan’s terms.

Subject to applicable law, the Share Incentive Plan may, at any time, be amended, suspended or terminated, prospectively or retroactively, by the administrator; provided, however, that no amendment, suspension or termination shall be made that is adverse to the rights of a participant under an Award without such participant’s consent unless otherwise provided by law or in the Share Incentive Plan. In addition, shareholder approval may be required to satisfy tax rules applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code or to subsequent grants of incentive stock options, or to satisfy other applicable legal or regulatory requirements including exchange listing requirements.

Unfunded Status of Plan

It is intended that the Share Incentive Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.

General Provisions

Restricted A ordinary shares and A ordinary shares issued upon exercise of stock options shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book entry registration or issuance of one or more share certificates. Any certificate issued shall be registered and shall bear the appropriate legends, if any.

A participant shall make the necessary arrangements to satisfy any payment or withholding of applicable US federal, state, local or foreign taxes, including, if approved by the administrator, by paying with A ordinary shares, including any A ordinary shares that are part of an Award giving rise to the withholding requirement.

The Share Incentive Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

No fractional shares shall be issued under the Share Incentive Plan and no cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

To the extent required by the administrator, the participant may be required to execute and deliver a shareholder’s agreement or such other documentation as a condition to the receipt of an Award, which shall set forth certain restrictions on transferability of the Award, a right of first refusal of Global Indemnity with respect to the Award, the right of Global Indemnity to purchase the Award and other such terms as the administrator shall establish from time to time.

No Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under the Share Incentive Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a participant. If it is reasonably determined by the administrator that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments or deliveries of A ordinary shares awarded under the Share Incentive Plan may not be made at the time without causing the participant to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, Global Indemnity will make such payment or delivery of A ordinary shares on the first day that would not result in the participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Stock option grants under the Share Incentive Plan may be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code or may be non-qualified stock options. Generally, no federal income tax is payable by a participant upon the grant of a stock option and no deduction is taken by the Company. Under current tax laws, if a participant exercises a non-qualified stock option, he or she will have taxable income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise date and the stock option exercise price. Global Indemnity will be entitled to a corresponding deduction on its income tax return. A participant will have no taxable income upon exercising an incentive stock option provided that the applicable periods for holding the resulting shares of stock are satisfied (except that alternative minimum tax may apply), and Global Indemnity will receive no deduction when an incentive stock option is exercised. The tax treatment for a participant of a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option depends on how long the shares were held and on whether the shares were acquired by exercising an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option. Global Indemnity may be entitled to a deduction in the case of a disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option before the applicable holding periods have been satisfied.

For restricted stock awards, no taxes are due when the award is initially made (unless the recipient makes a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code), but the award becomes taxable when it is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (i.e., becomes vested or transferable). Income tax is paid at ordinary rates on the value of the stock when the restrictions lapse, and then at capital gain rates when the shares are sold.

Awards granted under the Share Incentive Plan may qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code in order to preserve federal income tax deductions by Global Indemnity with respect to annual compensation required to be taken into account under Section 162(m) that is in excess of $1 million and paid to Global Indemnity’s Chief Executive Officer or any of the three other most highly compensated executive officers (excluding the Chief Financial Officer). The Compensation Committee may grant awards that do not qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, which awards would be subject to the $1 million deductibility limit of Code Section 162(m).

The Share Incentive Plan has been drafted with the intention of avoiding the application of taxes under Section 409A of the Code to any participant on account of the grant, vesting, or settlement of awards.

The chief executive officer of Global Indemnity has an interest in this Proposal Eight as the chief executive officer of Global Indemnity will receive a grant under the Share Incentive Plan if approved. For a discussion of the grant that the chief executive officer will receive under the Share Incentive Plan, please see the New Benefits Plan table in this section above and the disclosure related to executive compensation under “Executive Compensation-Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below.

(j) otherwise supervise and administer of the Plan.

5

The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then serving thereon, except that, if permissible under applicable law, the Committee may designate or allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of their number or any officer of the Company. Any such designation or allocation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any way relate to, the interpretation, construction or application of the Plan or an Award (or related Award Agreement) granted hereunder shall be determined and resolved by the Committee. Any determination or resolution made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to the Plan, any Award or Award Agreement shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and, with respect to an Award, at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or the Award Agreement, at any time thereafter. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in any Award Agreement, all decisions made by the Committee in accordance with the terms of this Plan or the Award Agreements shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Persons, including the Company, its Affiliates and the Participants.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company and to the extent not covered by insurance directly insuring such person, each officer and member or former member of the Committee or the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Committee) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the administration of this Plan, except to the extent arising out of such officer’s, member’s or former member’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the employees, officers, directors or members or former officers, directors or members may have under applicable law or under the Articles of Association of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this indemnification will not apply to the actions or determinations made by an individual with regard to Awards granted to him or her under this Plan.

Section 3. Ordinary Shares Subject to Plan

The total number of Ordinary Shares reserved and available for grant under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to this Section 3). Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company or both.

If any Restricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards are forfeited to the Company or if any Stock Option terminates without being exercised, the shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan. In addition, in determining the number of Ordinary Shares available for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, if Ordinary Shares have been delivered or exchanged by a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company for payment of the exercise price, or for payment of withholding taxes, or if the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise deliverable has been reduced for payment of the exercise price or for payment of withholding taxes, the number of Ordinary Shares exchanged or reduced as payment in connection with the exercise or for withholding shall again be available for purposes of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options under this Plan.

6

The total number of Ordinary Shares subject to any Stock Option which may be granted under this Plan to each Participant shall not exceed 100,000 shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to this Section 3) during each fiscal year of the Company. The individual Participant limitations set forth in this Section 3 shall be cumulative; that is, to the extent that Ordinary Shares for which Options are permitted to be granted to a Participant pursuant to this Section during a fiscal year of the Company are not covered by a grant of an Option in the Company’s fiscal year, such Ordinary Shares available for grants to such Participant automatically increase in the subsequent fiscal years during the term of the Plan until used.

No individual may be granted in any fiscal year of the Company Other Share-Based Awards that are contingent upon the attainment of Performance Goals covering more than 50,000 Shares.

In the event any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, spin-off, stock dividend, share split, reverse share split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets or business or other change in corporate structure affecting the Ordinary Shares occurs or is proposed (such an event, an “Equity Restructuring”), the Committee or the Board shall, effective as of the time of the Equity Restructuring, make such substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number and kind of shares or other property reserved for issuance under the Plan or any limitations under the Plan, in the number, kind and Exercise Price (as defined herein) of shares or other property subject to outstanding Stock Options, in the number and kind of shares or other property subject to Restricted Share Awards or other Awards, and/or such other substitution or adjustments, in each case as the Committee or the Board shall determine in its discretion to be appropriate, such that the value of the adjusted shares or other property immediately prior to the Equity Restructuring is the same as the value of such adjusted shares or other property immediately following the Equity Restructuring, provided that, in no case shall such determination adversely affect in any material respect the rights of a Participant hereunder or under any Award Agreement. In

7

connection with any event described in this paragraph, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Stock Option and payment in cash or other property in exchange therefor in an amount equal to the excess at such time, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Ordinary Shares over the per share exercise price for such Stock Options.

In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Acquisition Events”), then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding Stock Options, effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of his or her Stock Options that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Stock Option agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void.

Section 4. Participants

The following persons shall be “Participants” eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan: (i) Persons who are officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates; (ii) Persons who at the time of grant may be performing (or subject to being required to perform) services for the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and consultants of FPC); and (iii) Non-Employee Directors of the Company and its Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Company and its Affiliates. However, Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company its Subsidiaries or its Parent.

Section 5. Stock Options

The Board or the Committee as its duly authorized delegate shall have the authority to grant to Participants Stock Options. Stock Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements, which shall include such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine from time to time. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects an individual to receive a grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of Ordinary Shares to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions of the Stock Option, or on such other date as the Committee may determine. The Company shall notify a Participant of any grant of a Stock Option, and a written Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the Participant. Such Option Agreement shall become effective upon execution and delivery by the Participant to the Company.

8

Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable:

(a) Exercise Price . The price per Ordinary Share purchasable under a Stock Option shall be such price as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement (the “Exercise Price”); provided that the Exercise Price shall not be less than the grant date Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares, and:

(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Parent who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all share classes of the Company or its Subsidiaries or its Parent (a “Ten Percent Shareholder”), the per share Exercise Price shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; and

(B) granted to any employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Parent other than a Ten Percent Shareholder, the per share Exercise Price shall be no less ‘than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant.

(ii) in the case of any other Stock Option granted, including Nonstatutory Stock Options, the per share Exercise Price as determined by the Committee.

(b) Option Term . The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Stock Option is granted. Absent any such term being fixed by the Committee, pursuant to an Option Agreement or otherwise, such term shall be ten (10) years; provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five (5) years.

(c) Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee If the

9

Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at anytime waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option.

(d) Method of Exercise . Subject to the provisions of this Section  5, vested Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.

Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price per share by certified or bank check or such other instrument or method of payment as the Committee may accept. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Option Agreement, payment, in full or in part, may also be made in the form of fully vested Ordinary Shares (other than Restricted Shares) already owned by the Participant (for at least six months or such other period necessary to avoid a charge, for accounting purposes, against the Company’s earnings as reported in the Company’s financial statements if acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option or received upon the lapse of restrictions on an Award of Restricted Shares) of the same class as the Ordinary Shares subject to the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the date the Stock Option is exercised) or, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a national securities exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the Committee authorizes, to the extent permitted by law, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price or through “net settlement” in Ordinary Shares.

No Ordinary Shares shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made. Except as otherwise provided in the Management Shareholders’ Agreement, if the Participant is a party to the Management Shareholders’ Agreement, and subject to Sections 10(b), 10(e) and 10(h) hereof and the applicable Option Agreement, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends and distributions), when the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representations referred to in Section 10(b) or as may otherwise be required in accordance with Sections 10(e) and 10(h).

(e) Nontransferability of Stock Options . No Stock Option shall be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted under the applicable Option Agreement, to a Family Member, subject to the restrictions in the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. All Stock Options granted to an individual shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of the Plan, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or any Person to whom such Stock Option is transferred pursuant to the preceding sentence, including such Participant’s guardian, legal representative and other transferee. The term “Participant” includes the estate of the Participant or the Legal representative of the Participant named in the Option Agreement and any Person to whom an Option is

10

otherwise transferred in accordance with this Section  5( e), by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that references herein to Employment of a Participant or termination of Employment of a Participant shall continue to refer to the Employment or termination of Employment of the applicable grantee of an Award hereunder.

(f) Termination of Employment.

(i) Termination for Any Reason (other than Cause). Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and expressly provided in the applicable Option Agreement or applicable employment or consulting agreement, upon the termination of the Participant’s Employment for any reason (other than Cause), including death or Disability, vesting ceases, the term of unvested stock options lapses and vested and unvested options will become unexercisable, except that such Participant shall have ninety (90) days to exercise the portion of the Participant’s Stock Option that is vested on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be permitted to exercise any Stock Option at a time beyond the initial option term.

(ii) Termination for Cause. All outstanding and unexercised Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, as of the time the Participant is notified that his or her Employment is terminated for Cause or at the time the Participant voluntarily terminates employment within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a termination for Cause, will be cancelled immediately.

Section 6. Restricted Shares

The Committee shall determine the Participants to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Shares will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any Participant, the purchase price, the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to cancellation, repurchase and restrictions on transfer and any other terms and conditions of the Awards (including provisions (i) relating to placing legends on certificates representing Restricted Shares, (ii) permitting the Company to require that Restricted Shares be held in custody by the Company with a share transfer certificate from the owner thereof until restrictions lapse and (iii) relating to any rights to repurchase Restricted Shares on the part of the Company), in addition to those contained in the Management Shareholders’ Agreement, if the Participant is a party to the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares shall be issued a share certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares, unless the Committee elects to u-;e another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of shares of Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise

11

specified in the Restricted Share Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination for any reason during the relevant restriction period, all unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited to the Company, without compensation.

Furthermore, in addition to the foregoing restrictions, Restricted Shares held by an officer, director or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliate may be subject to additional or greater restrictions and any restrictions set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association. The terms and conditions of Restricted Share Awards shall be set forth in a Restricted Share Agreement, which shall include such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine from time to time, and which shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the Participant and become effective upon execution and delivery by the Participant to the Company. Except as provided in this Section 6, the Restricted Share Agreement, the Management Shareholders’ Agreement and any other relevant agreements, the Participant shall have, with respect to the Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is the subject of the Restricted Share Award, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and, subject to the following sentence, the right to receive any cash dividends or distributions (but, subject to the third paragraph of Section 3, not the right to receive non-cash dividends or distributions). If so determined by the Committee in the applicable Restricted Share Agreement, cash dividends and distributions on the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is the subject of the Restricted Share Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Shares, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Shares, or held subject to meeting conditions applicable only to dividends and distributions.

Section 7. Other Share-Based Awards

The Committee is authorized to grant to Participants Other Share-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Ordinary Shares, including but not limited to, Ordinary Shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, Ordinary Shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary, share appreciation rights (either separately or in tandem with Options), share equivalent units, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Ordinary Shares.

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of Ordinary Shares to be awarded pursuant to or referenced by such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. Grants of Other Share-Based Awards may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may determine which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or the

12

achievement of Performance Goals. Except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, the criteria that may be used by the Committee in granting Other Share-Based Awards contingent on Performance Goals shall consist of the attainment of one or more of the Performance Goals. The Committee may select one or more Performance Goals for measuring performance and the measuring may be stated in absolute terms or relative to comparable companies. The measurements used in Performance Goals set under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), except, to the extent that any objective Performance Goals are used, if any measurements require deviation from GAAP, such deviation shall be at the discretion of the Committee at the time the Performance Goals are set or at such later time to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code. Other Performance Goals may be used to the extent such goals satisfy Section 162(m) of the Code or the Other-Share Based Award is not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Other Share-Based Awards made pursuant to this Section 7 are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Dividends . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of Award, subject to the provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, the recipient of an Award under this Section 7 shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Ordinary Shares covered by the Award, as determined at the time of the Award by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(b) Vesting . Any Award under this Section 7 and any Ordinary Shares covered by any such Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award agreement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(c) Waiver of Limitation . In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death, or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of an Award under this Article.

(d) Purchase Price . Ordinary Shares issued on a bonus basis under this Section 7 may be issued for no cash consideration; Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Section 7 shall be priced as determined by the Committee.

(e) Committee Certification . At the expiration of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine and certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved.

Section 8. Term, Amendment and Termination

This Plan will expire on February 10, 2019, five years from its adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company. Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the expiration of the Plan and shall be subject to the terms of the Plan.

The Board or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided herein, no amendment, suspension or termination shall be made that is

13

adverse to the rights of a Participant under an Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent; provided, further, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law, to the extent required by the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code or the rules of any exchange or system on which the Ordinary Shares are listed or traded, or, with regard to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code, no amendment may be made which would (i) increase the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under this Plan or the maximum individual Participant limitations under Section 3; (ii) change the classification of Participants eligible to receive Awards under this Plan; (iii) extend the maximum Stock Option period or (iv) require shareholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or, with regard to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code.

The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall be made that is adverse to the rights of the Participant thereunder without the Participant’ consent.

Section 9. Unfunded Status of Plan

It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Ordinary Shares or make payments; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

(a) Awards and Certificates . Shares of Restricted Shares and Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Option (together, “Plan Shares”) shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book entry registration or issuance of one or more share certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of Plan Shares shall be registered in the name of such Participant and shall bear appropriate legends referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award. Such Plan Shares may bear other legends to the extent the Committee or the Board determines it to be necessary or appropriate, including any required by the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. If and when all restrictions expire without a prior cancellation of the Plan Shares theretofore subject to such restrictions, upon surrender of legended certificates representing such shares new certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant without the second legend listed above.

(b) Representations and Warranties . The Committee may require each Person purchasing or receiving Plan Shares to (i) represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such Person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof and (ii) make any other representations and warranties that the Committee deems appropriate.

(c) Additional Compensation . Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.

14

(d) No Right of Employment . Adoption of the Plan or grant of any Award shall not confer upon any employee or any other individual any right to continued Employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Employment of any eligible Participant at any time.

(e) Withholding Taxes . No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for income tax purposes or subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholdings with respect to any Award, including, without limitation, upon exercise of any Stock Option, under the Plan, such Participant shall pay to the Company or, if appropriate, one of its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If approved by the Committee, minimum required statutory withholding obligations may be settled with Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Ordinary Shares.

(f) Beneficiaries . The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the Participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the Participant, after the Participant’s death, may be exercised.

(g) Governing Law . The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(h) Compliance with Laws . If any law or any regulation of any governmental body, commission or agency having jurisdiction shall require the Company or a Participant seeking to exercise Stock Options to take any action with respect to the Plan Shares to be issued upon the exercise of Stock Options then the date upon which the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the Plan Shares or the rights associated therewith shall be postponed until full compliance (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) has been made with all such requirements of law or regulation; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements of law or regulation. Moreover, in the event that the Company shall determine that, in compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable statutes or regulations (including state “Blue Sky” or other securities laws), it is necessary to register any of the Plan Shares with respect to which an exercise of a Stock Option has been made, or to qualify any such Plan Shares (or the Company) for exemption from any of the requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable statute or regulation, no Stock Options may be exercised and no Plan Shares shall be issued to the exercising Participant until the required action has been completed; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements of law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Board nor the members of the Committee owes a fiduciary duty to any Participant in his or her capacity as such.

15

(i) Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and no cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

(j) Shareholder Approval . The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal or foreign law and the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed, quoted or actively traded.

(k) Information to Participants . The Company shall provide, not less frequently than annually, copies of annual financial statements to each individual who acquires Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan while such individual owns such Ordinary Shares. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

(l) Shareholders’ Agreement and Other Requirements . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as a condition to the receipt of Plan Shares, to the extent required by the Committee, the Participant shall execute and deliver a shareholders’ agreement or such other documentation which shall set forth certain restrictions on transferability of the Plan Shares, a right of first refusal of the Company with respect to Plan Shares, the right of the Company to purchase Plan Shares and such other terms as the Board or Committee shall from time to time establish. Such shareholders’ agreement shall apply to all Plan Shares acquired under the Plan. The Company may require, as a condition of grant or exercise of any Award, the Participant to become a party to any other existing shareholders’ agreement.

(m) Section 409A . Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Award agreements thereunder, no Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments or deliveries of shares in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment or delivery of shares on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. In the case of a Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), payments and/or deliveries of shares in respect of any Award subject to Section 409A of the Code that are linked to the date of the Participant’s separation from service shall not be made prior to the date which is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation from service from the Company and its affiliates, determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 10(m) in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 10(m).
