                  AMENDED EXHIBIT B FOR PERFORMANCE PERIOD 2004

                           INCENTIVE BONUS CALCULATION


An Incentive Bonus will be earned by a Participant based upon RSL's achieving
the Measuring Objective of the Plan as set forth in Exhibit C. The Incentive
Bonus will be the product of the Achievement Percentage as set forth in Exhibit
D multiplied by the Participation Percentage times Base Salary.

The Participation Percentage is an amount as determined by the Participant's
manager based on the Manager's assessment of the Participant's performance
during the Performance Period, subject to the maximum percentage set forth in
Exhibits A-1 and A-2. The actual Participation Percentage to be awarded is
discretionary and will be based on the recommendations of the Participant's
senior officer, subject to the approval of the President of RSL.

For Participants set forth in Exhibit A-1, the Committee in its sole discretion
may elect to award the Incentive Bonus as either (a) cash or (b) a grant of
options to purchase shares of Delphi Class A Common Stock ("Incentive Options"),
or a combination of both, subject to the approval by the Stock Option and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Delphi Financial Group, Inc.
("Delphi"). With regard to Incentive Options, the Incentive Bonus amount shall
be divided by the fair market value of the Delphi Class A Common Stock on the
date of grant of the option, and the quotient then multiplied by three (3),
yielding the total number of Incentive Options awarded.

For Participants set forth in Exhibit A-2, the Incentive Bonus is payable in
cash.

All Incentive Options shall be granted under Delphi's Second Amended and
Restated Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended from time to time, and have the
same characteristics and properties. The Incentive Option price per share shall
be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of
grant. For purposes hereof, "Fair Market Value" shall be the closing price on
the date of grant of a share of Delphi Class A Common Stock, as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), or, if the shares are not then listed for
trading on the NYSE, the closing price of the shares as reported on another
recognized securities exchange or system. If the shares did not trade on the
grant date on the NYSE or such other applicable exchange or system, the Fair
Market Value for purposes hereof shall be the reported closing price on the last
business day on which the shares were traded preceding the grant date. Each
Incentive Option shall have a term of ten (10) years, exercisable immediately in
full. In the case of termination of employment, by either party, for any reason
whatsoever (subject to the following sentence), options may be exercised any
time during the remainder of the ten (10) year term. If a Participant's
employment is terminated by the Company on account of any act of (a) fraud or
intentional misrepresentation or (b) embezzlement, misappropriation or
conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company, or any unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, all
unexercised Incentive Options shall terminate as of the date of such
termination.
