(ii)    In the event of termination of employment (other than by the Company for Cause, as such term is defined in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan on the date hereof, and other than as set forth in Section 2(b)(i) or (iii) hereof) after the attainment of Retirement Age (as defined in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan on the date hereof), the Restricted Shares shall continue to vest on the schedule set forth in Section 2(a) above so long as the Employee does not, without the written consent of the Company, engage in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than (i) serving on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of another company or (ii) serving as a consultant for no more than 26 weeks per calendar year providing services that do not, in whole or in part, relate to the business or operations of an insurance or reinsurance company (“Competitive Activity”).  In the event the Employee engages in a Competitive Activity, any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by the Employee and become the property of the Company.


(iii)    In the event the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Company after a Change in Control (as defined below) due to termination (A) by the Company not for Cause or (B) by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case, on or before the second anniversary of the occurrence of the Change in Control, the Restricted Shares, to the extent not already vested, shall become immediately vested in full upon such termination of employment.  “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s written consent, (a) the material diminution of any material duties or responsibilities of the Employee without the same being corrected within thirty (30) days after being given written notice thereof; or (b) a material reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary without the same being corrected within thirty (30) days after being given written notice thereof.
