In accordance with the provisions of the Bermuda Payroll Tax Act 1995, the Company must pay payroll tax on Executive’s compensation and benefits.  In accordance with Bermuda law, the Company may deduct and retain from Executive’s Base Salary the employee’s statutory portion, currently a progressive amount of Base salary and benefits; however as an added benefit, the Company pays 100% of such payroll tax.  The Company reserves the right to change this policy in the future.

In the event that the generally applicable Company long-term disability plan contains a limitation on benefits that would result in Executive being entitled to benefit payments under such plan which are less than 50% of Executive’s Base Salary, the 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 Executive’s 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, the 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 the 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).


As an added benefit to Executive, the Company pays 100% of the premiums for such insurance; the Company reserves the right to change this policy in the future.

In addition, Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) shall be entitled for a period of 12 months, to continue to receive medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 4.3) at the Company’s expense if and to the extent the Company was paying for such benefits for Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of Executive’s death.

The amount of payments to Executive under disability insurance policies paid for by the Company shall be credited against and shall reduce the Base Salary otherwise payable by the Company following termination of employment.  If, for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section, the Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which he participates, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the bonus that he would have received had he been employed by the 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 the Company’s expense medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 4.3) for himself and his spouse and dependents (if any) if and to the extent the Company was paying for such benefits to Executive and his spouse and dependents at the time of such termination, until the earlier of: (1) a period of 12 months from the date Executive is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.4, or (2) the date Executive begins new employment at an organization offering a comprehensive major medical health plan for Executive and his spouse and dependents (regardless of payment policies in effect at such organization).

The benefit of the provisions of this Section 6 shall be held on trust by the Company for each direct and indirect subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited (each, a “Group Company”) and the Company reserves the right to assign the benefit of such provisions to any Group Company, in relation to which Executive has in the course of Executive’s duties for the Company or by reason of rendering services to or holding office in such subsidiary or affiliate:


a)    acquired knowledge of its trade secrets or Confidential Information; or
b)    had material personal dealings with its customers or prospective customers; 
so that references in Section 6 to “the Company” shall for this purpose be deemed to be replaced by references to the relevant Group Company. The obligations undertaken by Executive pursuant to Section 6 shall, with respect to each such Group Company, constitute a separate and distinct covenant and the invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the covenants in favour of any other Group Company or the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Group Company shall mean and include any company which is from time to time a holding company (as defined by Section 86 of the Companies Act 1981, but irrespective of whether it is a Bermuda company or an overseas company) of the Company, a subsidiary company (as so defined) of the Company, a subsidiary company (as so defined) of a holding company (as so defined) of the Company, a company in which the Company owns at least 50% of the issued share capital.
		
	6.6
	ENFORCEMENT  




Each of the covenants contained in Section 6 (to the extent that the context permits) is separate and distinct from the others and the invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof will have no effect on the others.  If, in proceedings to enforce the covenants contained in Section 6, a Court holds that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be permitted to revise the restrictions contained in those provisions to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law.


		
	6.7
	RELIEF




Executive hereby acknowledge that said covenants are reasonable, that Executive’s services are unique, and that a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of these covenants and agreements with the Company could cause irreparable harm to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, and in addition to any remedies which the Company may have at law, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by Executive of these covenants, the Company shall have the right to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction such injunctive or other equitable relief as such court may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances, without the need to post security or prove that monetary damages would be difficult to calculate or that remedies at law would be inadequate.  Executive acknowledge that the restrictions 


9







contained in this Section 6 do not impose an undue hardship on Executive and do not deprive Executive of Executive’s livelihood. Executive further acknowledge that that the provisions of this Section 6 are separate and independent of the other sections of this Agreement. 


		
	6.8
	SURVIVAL




The termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or breach by the Company of this contract of employment for whatever reason will not affect the rights of the Company to the benefit of the provisions contained in this Section 6.  Further, in the event of Executive’s seeking employment, whether as an employee or otherwise, with any person other than the Company, Executive is under an obligation to inform that person of Executive’s obligations contained in Section 6. 


		
	7.

The 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 Executive being in that jurisdiction in order to discharge Executive’s duties to the Company prior to and/or after the date Executive’s employment commenced; 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 Executive’s 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’s discharging his duties outside of Executive’s tax residence and related to Executive’s compensation from the Company, provided, however that

Executive shall have the right to have Executive’s own personal tax adviser participate in the review and preparation of the filings.


In indemnifying Executive, the 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 Executive’s own personal tax adviser participate in the review of the calculation to the extent reasonably practicable.
