EXPLANATORY NOTE
On January 21, 2020, Enstar Group Limited (the "Company") reached agreements to extend the employment of its Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer until 2023. Employment agreements for these executives were due to expire in April / May of 2020.
In connection with entering into amended and restated employment agreements, the Company granted long-term incentive plan awards to each executive. The award to Chief Executive Officer, Dominic Silvester, was made pursuant to the Company's Joint Share Ownership Plan, which was adopted in November 2019 as a sub-plan to the Company's Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The awards to President, Paul O'Shea, and Chief Operating Officer, Orla Gregory, were a combination of performance stock units and restricted stock units as described below.
The terms and conditions of these agreements and awards are described in Item 5.02 below. These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Joint Share Ownership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1), Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement (attached hereto Exhibit 10.2), President Employment Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3), Chief Operating Officer Employment Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4), and Form of Performance Stock Unit Award (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5), each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As described in more detail below under Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 21, 2020, the Company issued 565,630 ordinary shares (the "Shares") to Zedra Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited (the "Trustee"), in its capacity as trustee of the Enstar Group Limited Employee Benefit Trust (the "Trust") in connection with the equity compensation award described in Section 1 of Item 5.02. The information set forth in Item 5.02 that relates to the unregistered sale of such equity securities is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The Shares were sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S"). Pursuant to the terms of the JSOP Agreement defined and described below, each of Dominic Silvester and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, represented that he or it was not a U.S. person as defined in Regulation S and was located outside of the United States at the time any offer to buy the Shares was made to him or it and at the time that any buy order was originated by him or it, as applicable, and agreed to certain transfer and other restrictions in respect of the Shares, and appropriate legends were affixed to the Shares.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 
1.    Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “CEO Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Silvester. The CEO Employment Agreement replaces Mr. Silvester’s existing employment agreement, dated April 12, 2017 (the "Previous Agreement"), in its entirety. Capitalized terms used in this Section 1 and not defined herein are defined in Section 2 below.
The CEO Employment Agreement has a three-year term beginning on January 21, 2020. Under the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Silvester will (1) receive an annual base salary of £76,870, (2) be eligible for an annual performance bonus, calculated by reference to his annual base salary under the Previous Agreement, under the Company’s performance bonus plan, (3) be eligible for incentive compensation under the Company’s incentive compensation programs and (4) be entitled to certain employee benefits. Any incentive-based compensation or award that Mr. Silvester receives from the Company is subject to clawback by the Company as required by applicable law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or the Company's Clawback Policy.
The CEO Employment Agreement provides that if a change of control of the Company occurs during the term of Mr. Silvester's employment, Mr. Silvester would be entitled to: (1) a lump sum amount


1


equal to three times his annual base salary under the Previous Agreement (the "Salary Amount"); (2) other than with respect to his Executive Interest under the JSOP Agreement, immediate vesting of each outstanding equity incentive award granted to him before January 21, 2023; and (3) if his Executive Interest vests upon such change in control, a lump sum amount (such amount, the "COC JSOP Amount") equal to either (i) $34 million less any amount realized by him in respect of the Executive Interest, if the Hurdle is met at the time of such change of control, or (ii) $27 million less any amount received by him in respect of the Executive Interest, if the Hurdle is not met. Mr. Silvester would also be entitled to continued medical benefits for him and his spouse and dependents for three years if he were to resign within 30 days of a change in control.
The CEO Employment Agreement also provides that if Mr. Silvester’s employment is terminated during the term of the CEO Employment Agreement by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Silvester for “good reason,” Mr. Silvester would be entitled to: (1) a lump sum amount equal to three times his annual base salary under the Previous Agreement (reduced by the amount of any Salary Amount previously received); (2) continued medical benefits for him and his spouse and dependents for three years; (3) other than with respect to his Executive Interest under the JSOP Agreement, immediate vesting of each outstanding equity incentive award granted to him before January 21, 2023; (4) in the event no COC JSOP Amount has been paid to him, if such termination occurs before the date his Executive Interest vests and if, on January 21, 2023, the Hurdle has not been met, a lump sum amount equal to $27 million less any amount received by him in respect of the Executive Interest; and (5) the bonus that he would have received in respect of the year of his termination had he been employed by the Company for the full year, based on the Company's achievement of the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which he participates.
The CEO Employment Agreement restricts Mr. Silvester from competing with the Company for the term of the CEO Employment Agreement and, if his employment with the Company is terminated before the end of the employment term, for a period of 18 months after his termination of employment.
2.    Joint Share Ownership Plan Award
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a joint share ownership agreement (the "JSOP Agreement") with Mr. Silvester, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, under which Mr. Silvester and the Trustee agreed to acquire and subscribe jointly for 565,630 ordinary shares of the Company pursuant to the terms thereof. Under the JSOP Agreement, the Trustee paid the Company par value for the Shares of $565,630. Mr. Silvester's beneficial interest in the Shares acquired under the JSOP Agreement is referred to as the "Executive Interest." The Company will pay up to 60% of any employee income tax and social security contributions that arise from the acquisition of the Executive Interest, and any tax liability arising from such tax payments, up to a maximum of $5.3 million.
The value, if any, of the Executive Interest is determined based on the price of a Share appreciating above a certain threshold between the date of grant and the dates on which the Executive Interest vests (the "Vesting Date") and any value is realized (the "Realization Date"). If the higher of the closing price per Share on January 20, 2023 and the 10-day volume weighted average price per Share for the ten consecutive trading days ending on January 20, 2023 (each, the "Market Price") is $266 or greater (the "Hurdle"), the Executive Interest will have a value equal to the applicable Market Price per Share, less $205.89, multiplied by 565,630. If the higher of the Market Price per Share is less than $266 on such dates, the Executive Interest will have no value.
Subject to the terms of the JSOP Agreement, 80% of the Executive Interest will vest on January 21, 2023 and 20% of the Executive Interest will vest on that date only if the growth of the Company's fully diluted book value per ordinary share between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022 meets or exceeds a compound annual growth rate as set forth in the JSOP Agreement.
Upon a termination of Mr. Silvester's employment without cause or for good reason, the Executive Interest would continue to be held by him on the terms set forth in the JSOP Agreement. In the event of a


2


termination with cause, the Executive Interest would lapse and be acquired by the Trustee for no consideration.
In the event of a change in control of the Company, the Executive Interest would vest in full on the date of such change in control unless the parties agree to roll-over the Executive Interest into shares in the acquiring company, in which case the Executive Interest will not vest and will remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the JSOP Agreement.
If the Executive Interest vests and the higher of the Market Price of a Share is above the Hurdle on both the Vesting Date and the Realization Date, Mr. Silvester may serve a notice to the Trustee requesting an exchange of their respective interests under the JSOP Agreement, such that he would become the owner of 100% of the number of Shares whose market value is equal to the market value of the Executive Interest on the day of such exchange.
3.    President and Chief Operating Officer Employment Agreements
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements (each an “Employment Agreement” and collectively the "Employment Agreements") with each of Paul O'Shea and Orla Gregory. The Employment Agreements replace the executives' existing employment agreements, which were due to expire during 2020.
The Employment Agreements have terms ending on March 1, 2023. As compensation for their services, Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory will: (1) receive an annual base salary of $1,500,000 and $1,200,000, respectively; (2) be eligible for incentive compensation under the Company’s incentive compensation programs; and (3) be entitled to certain employee benefits. Any incentive-based compensation or award that either executive receives from the Company is subject to clawback by the Company as required by applicable law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirements or the Company's Clawback Policy.
The Employment Agreements provide that if the executive's employment is terminated during the term of his or her Employment Agreement by the Company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” including if such termination occurs within one year of a change in control, Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory would be entitled to: (1) a lump sum amount equal to three and two times annual base salary, respectively; (2) continued medical benefits for the executive and his or her spouse and dependents for three and two years, respectively; (3) immediate vesting of all outstanding equity incentive awards; and (4) the bonus that the executive would have received in respect of the year of termination had he or she been employed by the Company for the full year, based on the Company's achievement of the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which the executive participates.
The Employment Agreements provide that the executive will not compete with the Company for the term of the Employment Agreement and, in the case of Mr. O’Shea, if his employment with the Company is terminated before the end of the employment term, for a period of 18 months after his termination of employment. Ms. Gregory’s non-competition period will extend 12 months after her termination of employment.
4.     President and Chief Operating Officer Equity Awards
On January 21, 2020, each of Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory received long term equity compensation awards comprising 32,785 and 20,163 Performance Share Units ("PSUs"), respectively, and 10,929 and 6,721 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), respectively.
The PSUs vest following a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2020, and the ultimate value of the PSUs is tied to the Company's three year growth in fully diluted book value per share (the "Performance Goal"). The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on January 21, 2021.
In the event of the recipient's termination of service due to voluntary resignation or termination for cause, any outstanding PSUs and RSUs will be forfeited. In the event of the recipient's termination of service due to death or disability, all outstanding RSUs will vest immediately and outstanding PSUs will


3


vest pro rata at the target award level based on the number of days elapsed during the performance period as of the date of termination. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding RSUs will vest, and outstanding PSUs will vest at the greater of (i) the target award level and (ii) the number of PSUs earned based on the actual level of achievement by the Company of the Performance Goal, provided that the Company's Compensation Committee makes good faith determination that an alternative award has not been granted by the acquirer.

(f)

(h)
Any offer or sale by it of the Shares, if made prior to the expiration of the six (6) month distribution compliance period (calculated in accordance with Rule 902(f) of Regulation S), will be made pursuant to the following conditions:
a.
The purchaser certifies that it is not a U.S. Person and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person or is a U.S. Person who purchased the securities in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act; and

Appendix 2
Calculation of Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) and application
The CAGR (expressed as a percentage) is calculated as the rate of compounded annual growth required to give a share price of $266 for the 3 year period commencing on 21 January 2020, using the closing Enstar share price on 17 January 2020.  
CAGR calculation
Closing share price on 17 January 2020 = $205.89 (P0)
Hurdle = $266 (P1)
3 year commencing 21 January 2020 (in years) (n) = 3
CAGR = (P1/P0)1/3 -1
P1/P0 = 1.291952
1.2919521/3 = 1.089136
1.089136 - 1 = 0.089136
CAGR = 8.9136%
Use of CAGR
CAGR is used to determine the Hurdle at the point the Executive realises their Interest.
Where the Executive Interest is realised on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the CAGR results in a Hurdle share price of $266. 
If the Market Price is below $266 on the third anniversary of the Grant Date or the Realisation Date, the Executive Interest has no value. 
If the Market Price is $266 or above, the Executive Interest has a value equal to the Market Price on the Realisation Date (e.g. $270) less the Grant Price ($205.89). Giving the Executive Interest a value of $64.11 per Share.
Change in Control
If the Executive Interest Vests on a Change in Control prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Hurdle is determined using the 17 January 2020 share price ($205.89) and the period 21 January 2020 to the date a final offer is made that subsequently results in a Change in Control.
So, if a final offer is made on 21 January 2021 that subsequently results in a Change in Control, the Hurdle would be calculated as:
P0 * (1+CAGR)n 
Where P0 = $205.89, CAGR = 8.9136% and n=1
This gives a Hurdle of $224.24.
If the Market Price on the date on which a final offer is made that subsequently results in a Change in Control is at or above $224.24, the Executive Interest has value equal to the Market Price less the Grant Price. If the Market Price is below $224.24, the Executive Interest has no value. Market Price for the purposes of a Change in Control shall be the applicable offer price per Common Share (or equivalent value thereof where the consideration is in a form other than cash).

Appendix 3
Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003

One Part Election
1.
Between
the Employee                         [insert name of employee]
whose National Insurance Number is             [insert NINO]
and
the Company (who is the Employee's employer)         [insert name of company]
of Company Registration Number            [insert CRN]
2.
Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant Income Tax and NIC purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. An election under section 431(2) will ignore one or more of the restrictions in computing the charge on acquisition. Additional Income Tax will be payable (with PAYE and NIC where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NIC that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NIC due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no Income Tax/NIC relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.

3.
Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:
Number of securities                    [insert number]
Description of securities                    [insert description]
Name of issuer of securities                [insert name of issuer]

Appendix 6
Performance Condition
The percentage of the Executive Interest (20%) that shall Vest under Clause 6.3 shall be determined by reference to the Company's Growth in FDBVPS for the Performance Period.
"FDBVPS" is the fully diluted book value per Common Share as calculated in accordance with the accounting policies and definitions adopted for the purpose of preparation of the annual audited financial statements of the Company, as adjusted to (i) address the impact of any extraordinary capital management transactions, including any special dividends, or the impact of share price movements during the Company’s fiscal year on any Company share buy-back program, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, (ii) exclude the temporary dilutive impact, if any, of any Company shares issued to an employee benefit trust, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and (iii) exclude all selling and other transactional expenses incurred in connection with any transaction which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control, including without limitation the cost of defending against any such transaction and any third-party legal and advisory costs.
"Opening FDBVPS" is the FDBVPS as of January 1, 2020.
"Performance Period" is the period between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022.
"Performance Period End FDBVPS" is the FDBVPS as of the end of the Performance Period.
"Growth in FDBVPS for the Performance Period" is calculated as follows: (Performance Period End FDBVPS/Opening FDBVPS)-1, expressed as a percentage.
Determining percentage of Executive Interest that Vests
To satisfy the Performance Condition, Growth in FDBVPS for the Performance Period must meet or exceed the amount implied by a compound annual growth rate of the FDBVPS of 10% over the Performance Period (the "Target"). By way of illustration only, if the Opening FDBVPS were 100, the Target would be 133.1.
In the event the Target is not met, 20% of the Executive Interest shall not Vest.
Any fractional interest in Common Shares in respect of the Executive Interest that Vests under this Appendix 6 will be rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share.

The Executive's work location has been Bermuda for the period between 1 April 2006 and 16 April 2017. Unless otherwise agreed in the future, the Executive's work location from 17 April 2017 will be the United Kingdom. It is recognised that extensive travel will be necessary and appropriate in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and in particular that certain actions required to be taken to satisfactorily dispose of the duties hereunder must be taken in Bermuda.
(b)
Executive shall devote his full working time and energy, skill and best efforts during his working hours to the performance of his duties hereunder, in a manner that will comply with Company’s rules and policies and will faithfully and diligently further the business and interests of Company.

(c)
During the Term (as hereinafter defined), Executive shall not be employed by or participate or engage in or in any manner be a part of the management or operation of any business enterprise other than Company without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.1.

2.2.
Continuous employment. The Executive's period of continuous employment with the Company commenced on November 29, 2001.
3.
COMPENSATION
3.1.
Basic Compensation. As compensation for Executive’s services during the first twelve months of the Term, Company shall pay to Executive an initial salary at the annual rate of £76,870 which shall accrue from day to day and be payable in equal monthly installments by bank transfer to such account as Executive may designate for this purpose and subject to such deductions for income tax and National Insurance contributions (or any equivalent thereof) as may be required by law. For each subsequent twelve-month period of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive’s salary shall be in the amount of his initial annual salary as aforesaid with such increases, as may be established by the Board of Directors of Company in consultation with Executive. Once increased, Executive’s annual salary cannot be decreased without the written consent of Executive.

3.2.
Performance Bonus. Executive shall, following the completion of each fiscal year of Company during the Term, be eligible for a performance bonus in accordance with Company’s performance bonus plan. Any performance bonus made pursuant to the Company’s performance bonus plan shall be calculated by reference to the Executive’s Base Salary under the Previous Agreement. Executive shall also be eligible for additional equity and other incentive awards, at a level commensurate with his position and in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company.
3.3.
Employee Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in such of Company’s employee benefit plans and benefit programs, as may from time to time be provided by Company. If for any reason Executive's location in the United Kingdom precludes such participation, Company shall procure Executive's participation in such other plans and programs as shall most nearly replicate the benefits the Executive would otherwise have received, provided that if this cannot be done on any basis which provides benefits for Executive which, viewed as a whole in relation to each plan or program, are no less favourable to him than the benefits he would otherwise have received, Company shall pay Executive such additional annual salary under Section 3.1 above as shall be equal to the annual value to the Executive of the benefits (calculated, where applicable, based on the Executive’s Base Salary under the Previous Agreement, as applicable) he would otherwise have received. In addition, during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to the following:
(a)
a life insurance policy in the amount of five times the Executive’s Base Salary under the Previous Agreement, provided that Executive assists Company in the procurement of such policy (including, without limitation, submitting to any required physical examinations and completing accurately to the best of Executive's knowledge any applicable applications and or questionnaires);
(b)
fully comprehensive medical and dental coverage on a worldwide basis for the Executive, his spouse and dependents and an annual medical examination for the same. The Company further agrees to cover any reasonable medical and dental costs incurred by the Executive, his spouse and dependents during Term, whether or not such costs are covered by the Company's medical insurance policy;
(c)
long term disability coverage, including coverage for serious illness, and full compensation (inclusive of any United Kingdom statutory sick pay entitlement) to be paid by Company at the same times and in the same manner as Executive's Base Salary for loss of earnings during the period up to and until Executive begins receiving benefits under such long term disability plan. In the event that the generally applicable group long-term disability plan contains a limitation on benefits that would result in Executive’s being entitled to benefit payments under such plan which are less than 50% of his Base Salary under the Previous Agreement, Company shall provide Executive with an individual disability policy paying a benefit amount that, when coupled with the group policy benefit payable, would provide Executive with aggregate benefits in connection with

Provision of any individual disability policy will also be contingent upon Executive being able to be insured at commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms and upon Executive assisting Company in the procurement of such policy (including, without limitation, submitting to any required physical examinations and completing accurately to the best of Executive's knowledge any applicable applications and or questionnaires);

The amount of payments to Executive under disability insurance policies paid for by Company shall be credited against and shall reduce the amount of Base Salary under the Previous Agreement otherwise payable by Company following termination of employment. If, for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any annual cash incentive plan in which Executive participates, Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had he been employed by Company for the full year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in such year and the denominator of which is 365. Executive shall be entitled for a period of 36 months, to continue to receive at Company’s expense medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 3.3) for Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) if and

3



to the extent Company was paying for such benefits to Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of such termination.
4.3.
Termination for Cause or without Good Reason. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate immediately upon notice that the Board of Directors of Company is terminating Executive for Cause (as defined herein) or upon notice from Executive that Executive is resigning without Good Reason (as defined in Section 4.4(c)), in which event, subject to Section 4.5(b), Company shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further payments hereunder other than amounts (including salary, expense reimbursement, etc.) that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, Executive under this Agreement as of the date of such termination. “Cause” shall mean (a) fraud or dishonesty in connection with Executive’s employment that results in a material injury to Company, (b) conviction of any felony or crime involving fraud or misrepresentation or (c) after Executive has received written notice of the specific material and continuing failure of Executive to perform his duties hereunder (other than by reason of death or disability) and has failed to cure such failure within 30 days of receipt of the notice, or (d) material and continuing failure to follow reasonable and lawful instructions of the Board of Directors after Executive has received prior written notice of the specific material and continuing failure to follow such instructions and has failed to cure such failure within 30 days of receipt of the notice.
4.4.
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason.
(a)
If (1) Executive’s employment is terminated by Company for any reason other than Cause or the death or disability of Executive, or (2) Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason (as defined herein):

In addition, if, for the year in which Executive is terminated, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any annual cash incentive plan in which Executive participates, Company shall pay an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had he been employed by Company for the full year.
(b)
Upon making the payments described in this Section 4.4, Company shall have no further obligation to Executive under this Agreement. To the extent that the payments to be made under this Section 4.4 are damages (which is not admitted), Company and Executive agree that the terms of this Section 4.4 represent a genuine pre-estimate of the loss to the Executive that would arise on termination of employment hereunder in the circumstances described and does not constitute a

4



penalty. Company waives any requirement on Executive to mitigate his losses in respect of such termination.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
5.1.
Restrictive Covenants.
(a)
Executive acknowledges that he is one of a small number of key executives and that in such capacity, he will have access to confidential information of the Company and will engage in key client relationships on behalf of the Company and that it is fair and reasonable for protection of the legitimate interests of the Company and the other key executives of the Company that he should accept the restrictions described in Exhibit A hereto.
(b)
Promptly following Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company, and all documents, accounts, letters and papers of every description relating to the affairs and business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and copies thereof in Executive’s possession or under his control, other than any such in Executive's possession or under his control in his capacity as a stockholder of Company or that are available publicly.
(c)
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity.
(d)
Executive agrees that if he applies for, or is offered employment by (or is to provide consultancy services to) any other person, firm, company, business entity or other organization whatsoever (other than an affiliate of the Company) during the restriction periods set forth in Exhibit A, he shall promptly, and before entering into any contract with any such third party, provide to such third party a full copy of Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 in order to ensure that such other party is fully aware of Executive’s obligations hereunder.
5.2.
Intellectual Property Rights. Executive recognizes and agrees that Executive’s duties for the Company may include the preparation of materials, including written or graphic materials for the Company or its affiliate, and that any such materials conceived or written by Executive shall be made in the course of his employment for the purposes of section 11(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Executive agrees that because any such work is so made, the Company (or the relevant affiliate of the Company) will solely retain and own all copyright in said materials. Executive agrees to disclose and assign to the Company his entire right, title and interest in and to all other intellectual property rights in such work and all inventions and improvements related to the Company’s business or to the business of the Company’s affiliates (including, but not limited to, all financial and sales information), whether patentable or not, whether made or conceived by him individually or jointly with others at any time during his employment by the Company hereunder. Such inventions and improvements are to become and remain the property of the Company and Executive shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

MISCELLANEOUS

6



6.1.
Key Employee Insurance. Company shall have the right at its expense to purchase insurance on the life of Executive, in such amounts as it shall from time to time determine, of which Company shall be the beneficiary. Executive shall submit to such physical examinations as may reasonably be required and shall otherwise cooperate with Company in obtaining such insurance.
6.2.
Indemnification/Litigation. Company shall indemnify and defend Executive against all claims arising out of Executive’s activities as an officer or employee of Company or its affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law and under Company’s organizational documents.

To the extent permitted by law, Executive will, also continue to receive the benefit of the Director Indemnification Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated January 31, 2007, and the benefit of any variation to or replacement of the Director Indemnification Agreement agreed by the parties during the term. At the request of Company, Executive shall during and after the Term render reasonable assistance to Company in connection with any litigation or other proceeding involving Company or any of its affiliates, unless precluded from so doing by law. Company shall provide reasonable compensation to Executive for such assistance rendered after the Term.
6.3.
Indemnification/Taxation. Company recognises that Executive has and will continue to spend significant time in jurisdictions outside of Executive's tax residence, and that while outside his tax residence Executive has and will continue to discharge his duties for Company. Company agrees as follows:
(a)
to indemnify Executive for any liability for, or in connection with, any taxation relating to Executive's compensation in any jurisdiction other than the Executive’s tax residence (those being the work locations for the relevant periods specified at clause 1.2(a) herein) for the period for which the relevant tax claim or demand is made, which arises as a direct consequence of the Executive being in that jurisdiction in order to discharge his duties to Company prior to and/or after Commencement Date; and
(i)
to provide all reasonable support to Executive in responding to any such claim or demand for or in connection with taxation by any statutory authority outside the jurisdiction of his tax residence; and
(ii)
to indemnify Executive for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Executive (including legal fees) in responding to or defending any such claims or demands; and
(b)
to engage a service provider to prepare all required tax filings by any statutory authority outside of the Executive’s tax residence arising due to Executive discharging his duties outside of his tax residence and related to Executive's compensation from Company, provided, however that Executive shall have the right to have his own personal tax adviser participate in the review and preparation of the filings.
In indemnifying Executive, Company will pay any liabilities, costs or expenses the subject of the indemnity without undue delay. The Company will ensure that the net sum received by Executive pursuant to the indemnity (if deductions are payable for tax, statutory charges or National Insurance contributions) covers all such liabilities, costs or expenses, with such net sum calculated by the Company or its service provider; provided, however that Executive shall have the right to have his own personal tax adviser participate in the review of the calculation to the extent reasonably practicable.
6.4.
No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be required to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment after termination of his employment hereunder.
6.5.
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision or part of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions or parts hereof.

Any Change in Control is deemed an assignment. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and each of their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators.

Exhibit A

Restrictive Covenants

A.
Noncompetition. During the Term and, if Executive fails to remain employed through January 22, 2023, for a period of eighteen (18) months after Executive’s employment terminates (the “Restriction Period”), Executive shall not, without the prior written permission of the Board, directly or indirectly engage in any Competitive Activity. The term “Competitive Activity” shall include (i) entering the employ of, or rendering services to, any person, firm or corporation engaged in the insurance and reinsurance run-off or any other business in which the Company or any of its affiliates has been engaged at any time during the last twelve months of the Term and to which Executive has rendered services or about which Executive has acquired Confidential Information or by which Executive has been engaged at any time during the last twelve months of his period of employment hereunder and in each case in any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its affiliates has conducted substantial business (hereinafter defined as the “Business”); (ii) engaging in the Business for Executive’s own account or becoming interested in any such Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, member, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, or in any other similar capacity; provided, however, nothing in this Paragraph A shall prohibit Executive from owning, solely as a passive investment, 5% or less of the total outstanding securities of a publicly-held company, or any interest held by Executive in a privately-held company as of the date of this Agreement; provided further that the provisions of this Paragraph A shall not apply in the event Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause or with Good Reason.
B.
Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the extent required by an order of a court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate regulatory authority, Executive shall not disclose and shall use his best endeavours to prevent the disclosure of any trade secrets, customer lists, market data, marketing plans, sales plans, management organization information (including data and other information relating to members of the Board and management), operating policies or manuals, business plans or financial records, or other financial, commercial, business or technical information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or information designated as confidential or proprietary that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may receive belonging to clients or others who do business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, “Confidential Information”) to any third person unless such Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the public by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Executive’s breach of this Paragraph B). In the event that Executive is required to disclose Confidential Information in a legal proceeding, Executive shall provide the Company with notice of such request as soon as reasonably practicable, so that the Company may timely seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Paragraph B, except if such notice would be unlawful or would place Executive in breach of an order of a court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction or of any applicable regulatory rules or codes of practice or of an undertaking he is required to give by law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Executive (or Executive’s attorney) from initiating communications directly with, responding to an inquiry from, or providing testimony before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any other regulatory authority regarding possible violations of applicable law or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law.
C.

During the Restriction Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written permission of the Board, directly or indirectly induce any Senior Employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and shall not directly or indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise, offer employment to or employ any Senior Employee unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by the Company or any affiliate for a period of at least six (6) months. For the purpose of this Paragraph C, “Senior Employee” shall mean a person who, at any time during the last twelve months of Executive’s period of employment hereunder:
(i)
is engaged or employed (other than in a clerical, secretarial or administrative capacity) as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or its affiliates; and
(ii)
is or was engaged in a capacity in which he obtained Confidential Information; and

11



(iii)
had personal dealings with Executive.
D.
Non-Disparagement. Save as may be required by law or by any applicable regulatory rules or codes of practice or an order of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, Executive shall not do or say anything adverse or harmful to, or otherwise disparaging of, the Company or its subsidiaries and their respective goodwill. Save as may be required as aforesaid, the Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that its officers, directors, employees and subsidiaries do not, do or say anything adverse or harmful to, or otherwise disparaging of, Executive and his goodwill; provided that no action by either party in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder shall be construed as a violation of this Paragraph D.
E.
Definition. In this Exhibit A, “directly or indirectly” (without prejudice to the generality of the expression) means whether as principal or agent (either alone or jointly or in partnership with any other person, firm or company) or as a shareholder, member or holder of loan capital in any other company or being concerned or interested in any other person, firm or company and whether as a director, partner, consultant, employee or otherwise.
F.
Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Exhibit A is and shall be construed as separate and severable and if one or more of such provisions is held to be against the public interest or unlawful or in any way an unreasonable restraint of trade or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Exhibit A or part thereof, as appropriate, shall continue to be in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT B.1
Reference is made to the Joint Ownership Agreement dated January 21, 2020 between the Company and Executive (the “Joint Share Ownership Agreement”). Terms used in this Exhibit B.1 and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit B.1 shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Joint Share Ownership Agreement.
It is acknowledged that, pursuant to the Joint Share Ownership Agreement, if prior to the Vesting date (1) Executive’s employment is terminated by Company for any reason other than Cause or the death or disability of Executive, or (2) Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, the Executive Interest shall continue to be held by the Executive (or his estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be) on the terms of the Joint Share Ownership Agreement.
If the Executive Interest Vests on the third anniversary of the Grant Date and, on that date:
(A)
The Hurdle is met (whether or not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Executive ultimately realizes any value in respect of the Executive Interest), Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(v) of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between the Company and the Executive, dated January 21, 2020 ; and
(B)
If the Hurdle is not met, Executive shall be entitled to receive within 30 days following the Vesting date a cash payment in an amount equal to $27 million (subject to such deductions for income tax and National Insurance contributions (or any equivalent thereof) as may be required by law) less any amount received by Executive in respect of the Executive Interest.
For the avoidance of doubt, no amount shall be paid under this Exhibit B.1 if any amount has been paid to Executive pursuant to Exhibit B.2.

 


13



EXHIBIT B.2
Reference is made to the Joint Ownership Agreement dated January 21, 2020 between the Company and Executive (the “Joint Share Ownership Agreement”).

a.
$34 million less any amount realized by Executive in respect of the Executive Interest in the event the Hurdle is met at the time of the Change in Control; or
b.
$27 million less any amount received by Executive in respect of the Executive Interest in the event the Hurdle is not met.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive Interest does not Vest pursuant to Clause 11.2 of the Joint Share Ownership Agreement on a Change in Control, Executive shall not receive a cash payment pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iii) of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between the Company and the Executive, dated January 21, 2020.
For the avoidance of doubt, no amount shall be paid under this Exhibit B.2 if any amount has been paid to Executive pursuant to Exhibit B.1.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

5.1    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)    Executive acknowledges that he is one of a small number of key executives and that in such capacity, he will have access to confidential information of the Company and will engage in key client relationships on behalf of the Company and that it is fair and reasonable for protection of the legitimate interests of the Company and the other key executives of the Company that he should accept the restrictions described in Exhibit A hereto.

(b)    Promptly following Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company, and all documents, accounts, letters and papers of every description relating to the affairs and business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and copies thereof in Executive’s possession or under his control, other than any such in Executive’s possession or under his control in his capacity as a stockholder of Company or that are available publicly.

(c)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity.

(d)    Executive agrees that if he applies for, or is offered employment by (or is to provide consultancy services to) any other person, firm, company, business entity or other organization whatsoever (other than an affiliate of the Company) during the restriction periods set forth in Exhibit A, he shall promptly, and before entering into any contract with any such third party, provide to such third party a full copy of Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 in order to ensure that such other party is fully aware of Executive’s obligations hereunder.

Executive recognizes and agrees that Executive’s duties for the Company may include the preparation of materials, including written or graphic materials for the Company or its affiliate, and that any such materials conceived or written by Executive shall be done within the scope of his employment as a “work made for hire.” Executive agrees that because any such work is a “work made for hire,” the Company (or the relevant affiliate of the Company) will solely retain and own all copyright in said materials.

(a)    to indemnify Executive for any liability for, or in connection with, any taxation relating to Executive's compensation in any jurisdiction other than the Executive’s tax residence for the period for which the relevant tax claim or demand is made, which arises as a direct consequence of the Executive being in that jurisdiction in order to discharge his duties to Company prior to and/or after Commencement Date; and
(i)    to provide all reasonable support to Executive in responding to any such claim or demand for or in connection with taxation by any statutory authority outside the jurisdiction of his tax residence; and
(ii)    to indemnify Executive for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Executive (including legal fees) in responding to or defending any such claims or demands; and

In indemnifying Executive, Company will pay any liabilities, costs or expenses the subject of the indemnity without undue delay. The Company will ensure that the net sum received by Executive pursuant to the indemnity covers all such liabilities, costs or expenses, with such net sum calculated by the Company or its service provider; provided, however that Executive shall have the right to have his own personal tax adviser participate in the review of the calculation to the extent reasonably practicable.
6.4    No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be required to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment after termination of his employment hereunder.

For each subsequent twelve-month period of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive’s salary shall be in the amount of her initial annual salary with such increases, as may be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Company in its discretion. Once increased, Executive’s annual salary cannot be decreased without the written consent of Executive.

3.2    Performance Bonus. Executive shall, following the completion of each fiscal year of Company during the Term, be eligible for a performance bonus in accordance with Company’s performance bonus plan. Executive shall also be eligible for additional equity and other incentive awards, at a level commensurate with her position and in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company.

3.3    Employee Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in such of Company’s employee benefit plans and benefit programs, as may from time to time be provided by Company. In addition, during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(b)    fully comprehensive medical and dental coverage on a worldwide basis for the Executive, her spouse and dependents and an annual medical examination for same;

(c)    long term disability coverage, including coverage for serious illness, and full compensation paid by Company during the period up to and until Executive begins receiving benefits under such long term disability plan. In the event that the generally applicable group long-term disability plan contains a limitation on benefits that would result in Executive’s being entitled to benefit payments under such plan which are less than 50% of her Base Salary, Company shall provide Executive with an individual disability policy paying a benefit amount that, when coupled with the group policy benefit payable, would provide Executive with aggregate benefits in connection with her long-term disability equal to 50% of Base Salary (provided that, if an individual policy cannot be obtained for such amount on commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms, Company shall provide Executive with a policy providing for the greatest amount of individual coverage that is available on such standard terms and rates). Provision of any individual disability policy will also be contingent upon Executive being able to be insured at commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms and upon Executive assisting Company in the procurement of such policy (including, without limitation, submitting to any required physical examinations and completing accurately to the best of Executive’s knowledge any applicable applications and or questionnaires); and

(d)    annual payment from the Company of an amount equal to 10% of Executive’s Base Salary towards Executive’s own pension plan (anticipated to be paid on or before April 1st in respect of the preceding calendar year).

4.1    Death of Executive. If Executive dies during the Term, and for the year in which Executive dies, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which Executive

2



participates, Company shall pay Executive’s estate an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had she been employed by Company for the full year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in such year and the denominator of which is 365. In addition, Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) shall be entitled for a period of 24 months, to continue to receive medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 3.3) at Company’s expense if and to the extent Company was paying for such benefits for Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of Executive’s death.

4.2    Disability. If Executive is or has been materially unable for any reason to perform her duties hereunder for 120 days during any period of 150 consecutive days, Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive at any time during the continuation of such inability, in which event Company shall thereafter be obligated to continue to pay Executive’s Base Salary for a period of 24 months, periodically in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices and, within 30 days of such notice, shall pay any other amounts (including salary, bonuses, expense reimbursement, etc.) that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, Executive under this Agreement as of the date of such termination. The amount of payments to Executive under disability insurance policies paid for by Company shall be credited against and shall reduce the Base Salary otherwise payable by Company following termination of employment. If, for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which Executive participates, Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had she been employed by Company for the full year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in such year and the denominator of which is 365. Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive at Company’s expense medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 3.3) for Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) if and to the extent Company was paying for such benefits to Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of such termination, until the earlier of: (1) a period of 24 months from the date Executive is terminated pursuant to this Section 4.2, or (2) the date Executive begins new employment at an organization offering a comprehensive major medical health plan for Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (regardless of payment policies in effect at such organization).

(b)    Upon making the payments described in this Section 4.4, Company shall have no further obligation to Executive under this Agreement. To the extent that the payments to be made under this Section 4.4 are damages (which is not admitted), Company and Executive agree that the terms of this Section 4.4 represent a genuine pre-estimate of the loss to the Executive that would arise on termination of employment hereunder in the circumstances described and does not constitute a penalty.

4



shall pay an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had she been employed by Company for the full year.

(b)    Upon making the payments described in this Section 4.5, Company shall have no further obligation to Executive under this Agreement. To the extent that the payments to be made under this Section 4.5 are damages (which is not admitted), Company and Executive agree that the terms of this Section 4.5 represent a genuine pre-estimate of the loss to the Executive that would arise on termination of employment hereunder in the circumstances described and does not constitute a penalty.

5.    RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

5.1    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)    Executive acknowledges that she is one of a small number of key executives and that in such capacity, she will have access to confidential information of the Company and will engage in key client relationships on behalf of the Company and that it is fair and reasonable for protection of the legitimate interests of the Company and the other key executives of the Company that she should accept the restrictions described in Exhibit A hereto.

(b)    Promptly following Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company, and all documents, accounts, letters and papers of every description relating to the affairs and business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and copies thereof in Executive’s possession or under her control, other than any such in Executive’s possession or under her control in her capacity as a stockholder of Company or that are available publicly.

5




(c)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in Exhibit A and this Section 5.1. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity.

(d)    Executive agrees that if she applies for, or is offered employment by (or is to provide consultancy services to) any other person, firm, company, business entity or other organization whatsoever (other than an affiliate of the Company) during the restriction periods set forth in Exhibit A, she shall promptly, and before entering into any contract with any such third party, provide to such third party a full copy of Exhibit A and this Section 5.1 in order to ensure that such other party is fully aware of Executive’s obligations hereunder.

5.2    Intellectual Property Rights. Executive recognizes and agrees that Executive’s duties for the Company may include the preparation of materials, including written or graphic materials for the Company or its affiliate, and that any such materials conceived or written by Executive shall be done within the scope of her employment as a “work made for hire.” Executive agrees that because any such work is a “work made for hire,” the Company (or the relevant affiliate of the Company) will solely retain and own all copyright in said materials. Executive agrees to disclose and assign to the Company her entire right, title and interest in and to all other intellectual property rights in such work and all inventions and improvements related to the Company’s business or to the business of the Company’s affiliates (including, but not limited to, all financial and sales information), whether patentable or not, whether made or conceived by her individually or jointly with others at any time during her employment by the Company hereunder. Such inventions and improvements are to become and remain the property of the Company and Executive shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

6.    MISCELLANEOUS

6.1    Key Employee Insurance. Company shall have the right at its expense to purchase insurance on the life of Executive, in such amounts as it shall from time to time determine, of which Company shall be the beneficiary.

Company shall indemnify and defend Executive against all claims arising out of Executive’s activities as an officer or employee of Company or its affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law and under Company’s organizational documents. During the Term and for six years following the end of the Term, Executive shall be entitled to be covered by a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance on commercially reasonable terms sufficient to cover the risk to Executive that would reasonably be expected to result from her activities as aforesaid and a copy of the policy shall be provided to Executive upon her request from time to time. At the request of Company, Executive shall during and after the Term render reasonable assistance to Company in connection with any litigation or other proceeding involving Company or any of its affiliates, unless precluded from so doing by law. Company shall provide reasonable compensation to Executive for such assistance rendered after the Term.

6.3    Indemnification/Taxation. Company recognises that Executive has and will continue to spend significant time in jurisdictions outside of Executive's tax residence, and that while outside her tax residence Executive has and will continue to discharge her duties for Company. Company agrees as follows:
(a)    to indemnify Executive for any liability for, or in connection with, any taxation relating to Executive's compensation in any jurisdiction other than the Executive’s tax residence for the period for which the relevant tax claim or demand is made, which arises as a direct consequence of the Executive being in that jurisdiction in order to discharge her duties to Company prior to and/or after Commencement Date; and
(i)    to provide all reasonable support to Executive in responding to any such claim or demand for or in connection with taxation by any statutory authority outside the jurisdiction of her tax residence; and

6



(ii)    to indemnify Executive for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Executive (including legal fees) in responding to or defending any such claims or demands; and
(b)    to engage a service provider to prepare all required tax filings by any statutory authority outside of the Executive’s tax residence arising due to Executive discharging her duties outside of her tax residence and related to Executive's compensation from Company, provided, however that Executive shall have the right to have her own personal tax adviser participate in the review and preparation of the filings.
In indemnifying Executive, Company will pay any liabilities, costs or expenses the subject of the indemnity without undue delay. The Company will ensure that the net sum received by Executive pursuant to the indemnity covers all such liabilities, costs or expenses, with such net sum calculated by the Company or its service provider; provided, however that Executive shall have the right to have her own personal tax adviser participate in the review of the calculation to the extent reasonably practicable.
6.4    No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be required to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment after termination of her employment hereunder (other than as expressly set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.4(a)(iii), and 4.5(a)(iii) related to medical benefits).

6.5    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision or part of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions or parts hereof.

6.6    Assignment; Benefit. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive, and shall be assignable by Company to any person or entity which may become a successor in interest (by purchase of assets or stock, or by merger, or otherwise) to Company in the business or substantially all of the business presently operated by it. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and each of their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators.

In the event that Executive is required to disclose Confidential Information in a legal proceeding, Executive shall provide the Company with notice of such request as soon as reasonably practicable, so that the Company may timely seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Paragraph B, except if such notice would be unlawful or would place Executive in breach of an order of a court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction or of any applicable regulatory rules or codes of practice or of an undertaking she is required to give by law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Executive (or Executive’s attorney) from initiating communications directly with, responding to an inquiry from, or providing testimony before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any other regulatory authority regarding possible violations of applicable law or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law or any undertaking she is required to give by law or regulation.

Save as may be required as aforesaid, the Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that its officers, directors, employees and subsidiaries do not do or say anything adverse or harmful to, or otherwise disparaging of, Executive and her goodwill; provided that no action by either party in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder shall be construed as a violation of this Paragraph D.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Grantee as follows:

1.    Terms of Award.

(a)    The “Grantee” is ___________.

(b)    The “Grant Date” is ___________.

(c)    The target number of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) granted under this Agreement is ___________.

(d) The “Performance Period” is the period commencing on ___________ and ending on ___________.

2.    Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Grantee is hereby granted the PSUs as described in paragraph 1. The number of PSUs awarded in this paragraph 2 is referred to as the “Target Award.” Each PSU represents the right to receive one Common Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The number of PSUs that the Grantee actually earns for the Performance Period will be determined by the level of achievement of the Performance Goals in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto and shall be rounded up to the nearest whole PSU. The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account in the Grantee’s name which reflects the number of PSUs standing to the credit of the Grantee.

3.    Performance Goals.

(a)    The number of PSUs earned by the Grantee for the Performance Period will be determined at the end of the Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals in accordance with Exhibit A. All determinations of whether Performance Goals have been achieved, the number of PSUs earned by the Grantee, and all other matters related to this paragraph 3 shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(b)    Promptly following completion of the Performance Period, the Committee will review and certify in writing (a) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved, and (b) the number of PSUs that the Grantee shall earn, if any, subject to compliance with the requirements of paragraph 4. Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

4.    Vesting.

(a)    The PSUs are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the PSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable on the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the Performance Goals





in accordance with paragraph 3(b), subject to the achievement of the minimum threshold Performance Goals for payout set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The number of PSUs that vest and become payable under this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A.

(b)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this paragraph 4, if the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee shall forfeit all PSUs granted with respect to the Performance Period and neither the Company nor any Related Corporation shall have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Agreement.

(c)    If the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs as a result of the Grantee’s death or disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee will vest on such date in a pro rata portion of the Target Award calculated by multiplying the Target Award by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days that the Grantee was employed during the Performance Period and the denominator of which equals the total number of days in the Performance Period.

(d)    If the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of the Grantee’s termination by the Company or a Related Corporation without Cause (or, if the Grantee’s employment agreement so provides, the voluntary termination by the Grantee for Good Reason) prior to the end of the Performance Period, 100% of the unvested PSUs shall vest as of the date of Termination of Service in the amount of the Target Award.

(e)    Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, if the Committee makes a good faith determination that an Alternative Award (as defined in Section 14 of the Plan) has not been granted by the acquirer, the Performance Period shall end and the Grantee shall be deemed to have earned an award equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the unvested PSUs in the amount of the Target Award and (ii) the number of PSUs earned by the Grantee based on the actual level of achievement of the Performance Goals in accordance with Exhibit A as of the date of the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee.

(f)    Upon a Change in Control during the Performance Period, if the Committee makes a good faith determination that an Alternative Award has been granted by the acquirer, the Alternative Award shall continue to vest in accordance with this paragraph 4.

5.    Shareholder Rights. The Grantee shall not have any right, in respect of PSUs awarded pursuant to the Plan, to receive dividends or vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders until such time as Common Shares attributable to such PSUs have been issued to the Grantee.

6.    Dividend Equivalents. PSUs awarded under this Agreement are eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents. On each date that a cash dividend is paid with respect to Common Shares, the Company shall credit the bookkeeping account (the “Account”) established on behalf of the Grantee with the dollar amount of the dividends the Grantee would have received if the PSUs held by the Grantee on the record date for such dividend payment had been Common Shares. Interest may be credited on the Dividend Equivalents at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as the PSUs to which they are attributable and shall be paid in cash on the same date that the PSUs to which they are attributable are settled.

7.    Settlement of PSUs. As soon as practicable after the vesting date and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall transfer to the Grantee one Common Share for each PSU vesting on the vesting date (the date of any such transfer shall be the settlement date for purposes of this Agreement); however, the Company may withhold shares otherwise transferable to the Grantee to the extent necessary to satisfy withholding taxes due by reason of the vesting of the PSU. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the Company may, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, pay the Award either (i) in Common Shares, and/or (ii) as a Settlement Payment in cash or other property on the 30th day following such Change in Control, based on the Change in Control Price.
8.    Deferral of PSUs.
(a)    The Grantee may elect to defer the settlement of PSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) granted under this Agreement until the earliest of (i) a date (the “Specified Payment Date”) selected by the Grantee that is not less than one (1) year and not more than ten (10) years from the vesting date, (ii) a Change in Control,





provided that the event constitutes a change in control within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) or any successor provision, or (iii) the Grantee’s Termination of Service for any reason, provided that the event constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) or any successor provision. In such case, settlement of PSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) will occur as soon as practicable after the Specified Payment Date, Change in Control, or Termination of Service, as applicable, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if settlement is to be made as a result of the Grantee’s Termination of Service other than due to death or disability and the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at the time of such Termination of Service, then settlement will not occur until the first business day of the seventh month following the month in which such Termination of Service occurs (or, if earlier, within 60 days of the Grantee’s death if the Grantee dies following Termination of Service and before payment is made).
(b)    To make an election to defer settlement of PSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee must make a valid election in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Such deferral election is irrevocable and may not be accelerated, revoked or modified except as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A and the Plan. PSUs deferred under this election will be settled in Common Shares payable in a single lump sum. Dividend Equivalents deferred under this election will be settled in a single lump sum cash payment.
9.    Transferability. The Grantee shall not transfer or assign, in whole or in part, PSUs subject to this Agreement, other than (a) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (b) by designation, in a manner established by the Company, of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Grantee and to receive any property distributable with respect to this Agreement upon the death of the Grantee upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions described in paragraph 4 above.

10.    Withholding. Any tax consequences arising from the grant of this Award shall be borne solely by the Grantee. The Company and/or its Related Corporations shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules and regulations including withholding taxes at source. The Grantee will not be entitled to receive from the Company any Common Shares hereunder prior to the full payment of the Grantee’s tax liabilities relating to this Award. The Company may, in its discretion, elect (a) to withhold Common Shares otherwise issuable under the Plan or (b) allow the Grantee to deliver to the Company previously acquired Common Shares (through actual tender or attestation), in either case for the greatest number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the date of vesting not in excess of the amount required to satisfy the withholding tax obligations.

11.    Compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Common Shares if such issuance would violate any applicable law or any applicable regulation or requirement of any securities exchange or similar entity.

12.    Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the settlement of the PSUs (including any Dividend Equivalents) to be made to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Regulations and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently therewith. However, under certain circumstances, including where Grantee has elected to defer settlement of this Award in accordance with paragraph 8, settlement of the PSUs or any Dividend Equivalents may not so qualify, and in that case, the Committee shall administer the grant and settlement of such PSUs and any Dividend Equivalents in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on the Grantee under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to the Grantee for such tax or penalty.

14.    Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding on all parties. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

15.    Not an Employment Contract. This Award will not confer on the Grantee any right with respect to the continuance of employment or other service to the Company or any Related Corporation, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Related Corporation would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Grantee’s employment or other service at any time.





16.    Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by email or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Grantee, at the Grantee’s email address or physical address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal executive office.
17.    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Grantee and the Company without the consent of any other person.
18.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
19.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and the Grantee and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
20.    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda (without reference to principles of conflict of laws).
21.    Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Award will be subject to any compensation recovery or clawback policy the Company adopts, including any policy required to comply with applicable law or listing standards, as such policy may be amended from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion.
22.    Electronic Administration. Grantee hereby consents to any and all procedures that the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of this award agreement and any other documents that the Company may be required to deliver, and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature.
23.    Additional Provisions.
(a)    In addition, the Grantee acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant of the PSUs does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs; (iii) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when PSUs shall be granted and the number of shares subject to each PSU will be at the sole discretion of the Company without the need to supply reasons for the exercise or non-exercise of that discretion; and (v) that the PSU is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance or other payments paid for any reason whatsoever and whether such termination is subsequently held to be wrongful or unfair.
(b)    The Grantee has been informed by the Company about the processing of relevant data under the Plan and the PSUs and in particular this paragraph. By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee: (i) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate, and any agent of the Company or any Affiliate or third party administering the Plan, to collect, use, process and disclose and transfer to and retention by the Company or any of its or their persons such information and data (including personal data) as the Company or any such person (including any situated outside the European Economic Area) shall request or need in order to facilitate the grant of PSUs and the administration of the Plan; (ii) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect to such information; and (iii) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
(c)    The Grantee acknowledges that any income, other taxes or social security contributions (including to the extent provided herein any employers’ social security contributions) due from him or her with respect to the grant, vesting, deferral or delivery of this Award and Common Shares transferable hereunder (“Tax Liability”) shall be the Grantee’s responsibility and the Grantee agrees to indemnify the Company and his or her employer or former employer in respect of all such Tax Liability provided that the Grantee understands and agrees that, unless (a) his or her employer or former employer is able to withhold the amount of the Tax Liability from payment of his or her remuneration within the period of 30 days from the date on which any Tax Liability arises; (b) the Grantee indicates in writing to his or her employer or former employer in a manner agreed with the Company that the Grantee will make a payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Tax Liability and does in fact make such a





payment, within 14 days of being notified by the Company of the amount of the Tax Liability, the Company shall be entitled to sell sufficient of the Common Shares acquired or to be acquired by the Grantee necessary to satisfy the indemnity and to procure payment to the Grantee’s employer of an amount sufficient to satisfy the indemnity out of the net proceeds of sale of the Shares.

(d)    Any deferral election made in a jurisdiction where such election would be ineffective for tax purposes according to the law of such jurisdiction shall be null and void and the PSUs will be settled as if no deferral election had been made.
