the Company listed on Schedule A thereto.

3.    Effective Date, Duration, Shares Reserved

      (a)   The Plan shall be effective on the date of its adoption by the
Board, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company. In the event the
Plan is so approved, it shall continue in effect for a period of ten years from
such date of such adoption by the Board, after which no Options or RSUs may be
granted, provided that the expiration of the Plan shall not affect the
obligations of the Company and Directors with respect to outstanding Options and
RSUs.

      (b)   Subject to adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 9
hereof, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued or sold
hereunder shall not exceed 750,000. Such shares shall be authorized but unissued
shares; provided, however, that Ordinary Shares with respect to which an Option
has been exercised or an RSU has been settled shall not again be available for
issuance hereunder. If outstanding Options granted hereunder shall terminate or
expire for any reason without being wholly exercised, the Ordinary Shares
allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option will again be available for
issuance under the Plan. The number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance

does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may
take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the
Committee.

      No member of the Board shall be liable for any action, omission or
determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify (to the
extent permitted under Bermuda law and the Bye-Laws of the Company) and hold
harmless each member of the Board and each other employee of the Company to whom
any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan
has been delegated against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or
liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of
the Board) arising out of any action, omission or determination relating to the
Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission or determination was taken
or made by such member of the Board or employee in bad faith and without
reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.

5.    Eligibility

      Participants shall be limited to Directors.

6.    Director Options and RSUs

      (a)    Annual Grant. Each Director in office at the close of business on
the date of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company shall be
granted on such date either (i) an Option to purchase 5,000 Ordinary Shares
(subject to adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 hereof) with a
per Ordinary Share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary
Share on such date or (ii) 1,750 restricted share units ("RSUs") that shall be
credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company in the name of the
Director. The determination to grant RSUs or Options shall be made at a meeting
of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors prior to the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders each year.

      (c)   Option Term. Each Option granted to a Director under this Plan
shall expire on the earlier of (1) the tenth annual anniversary of the date of
grant of such Option or (2) the first annual anniversary of the last day on
which a Director serves on the Board.

      (d)   Exercisability of Options. Each Option granted to a Director under
this Plan shall be exercisable on or after the six month anniversary of the date
of grant of such Option.

      (e)   Non-Qualified Options. Each Option granted to a Director under this
Plan shall be a non-qualified option, not entitled to special tax treatment
under Section 422 of the Code.

      (f)   Settlement of RSUs. The RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 6
shall become fully vested and convert into one Ordinary Share per RSU six months
following the date of grant. The Ordinary Shares issuable upon settlement of the
RSUs shall be free of restrictive legend.

      (g)   Dividend RSUs. Each Director's RSU bookkeeping account shall be
credited with additional RSUs equal to the amount of any dividends which would
have been payable on the RSUs had they been converted into Ordinary Shares prior
to vesting ("Dividend RSUs") with such credit determined on the basis of the
Fair Market Value on the date of payment of such dividend. Such Dividend RSUs
shall settle on the same date as the originally granted RSUs.

7.    Director Deferrals.

      (a)   Each Director may make an irrevocable election (i) on or before the
30th day following such Director's initial eligibility to participate in the
Plan and (ii) with respect to subsequent years, on or before December 31
preceding the calendar year for which a deferral is to be effective, to defer
payment of all or a designated portion (in increments of $5,000) of the cash
compensation otherwise subsequently payable during


                                      - 5 -



the calendar year as his or her annual retainer for service as a Director. The
elections made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be irrevocable for the
calendar year for which the election is made.

      (b)   All compensation which a Director elects to defer pursuant to this
Section 7 shall be credited in the form of RSU to a bookkeeping account
maintained by the Company in the name of the Director. Each RSU shall represent
the right to receive one Ordinary Share at the time of the settlement of the
RSU. In consideration for forgoing cash compensation, the number of RSUs so
credited will be equal to the number of Ordinary Shares having an aggregate Fair
Market Value (on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid) equal
to the amount by which the Director's cash compensation was reduced pursuant to
the deferral election.

      (c)   If any dividend is payable on Ordinary Shares during the deferral
period, Dividend RSUs shall be credited to such Director's bookkeeping account,
with such credit determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value on the date of
payment of such dividend. Such Dividend RSUs shall settle on the same date as
the originally granted RSUs.

      (d)   Any election by a Director to defer payment of such Director's cash
compensation shall be accompanied by an irrevocable election by such Director
with respect to:

            (1)   the settlement date for the RSUs, which shall be either (A)
      the date he or she ceases to be a Director or (B) a date certain after he
      or she ceases to be a Director, but in no event more than ten years after
      ceasing to be a Director; and

            (2)   the settlement option for the RSUs, which shall be one of (A)
      a single settlement, (B) five annual installments or (C) ten annual
      installments, in each case commencing on the settlement date elected
      pursuant to Section 7(d)(1) hereof.

On such settlement date or dates, the Company shall deliver to the Director one
Ordinary Share for each RSU in such Director's bookkeeping account up to the
proportional amount previously elected by such Director to be distributed. A
corresponding reduction in the number of RSUs in such Director's bookkeeping
account shall be made at the time of such distribution.

      (e)   Deferrals of Director compensation hereunder shall continue until
the Director notifies the Company in writing, prior to any December 31, that he
or she wishes to receive a greater or lesser portion of his or her compensation
for the next succeeding calendar year to be paid in cash on a current basis.

      8.    General

      (a)   Privileges of Share Ownership. No Director shall be entitled to the
privileges of share ownership in respect of Ordinary Shares which are subject to
Options or RSUs until:

                  (1)   A share certificate representing the Ordinary Shares has
            actually been issued to that person in accordance with the terms of
            the Plan and the applicable Agreement; and

                  (2)   the issue of such Ordinary Shares has been approved by
            the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

(b)   Compliance with Legal and Trading Requirements. The Plan shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to,
Bermuda, U.S. federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such
approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The
Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Ordinary
Shares under the Plan and under any Option or RSU until completion of such stock
exchange or market system listing or registration or qualification of such
Ordinary Shares or other required action under any Bermuda, U.S. state or
federal law, rule or regulation or under laws, rules or regulations of other
jurisdictions as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any
Director to make such representations and furnish such information as it may
consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Ordinary
Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. No provisions
of the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to obligate the Company to
register any Ordinary Shares under Bermuda, U.S. federal or state law or under
the laws of other jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Plan or any agreement with respect to an Option or RSU, to the
extent that the Committee determines that the Plan or any Option or RSU is
subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, the Committee reserves the right to amend or terminate
the Plan and/or amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Option or RSU in
order to cause the Option or RSU to either not be subject to Section 409A of the
Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

      (c)   Tax Withholding. The Company is authorized to withhold from any
Ordinary Shares delivered under this Plan or on exercise of an Option or RSU,
any amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection therewith, and to
take such other action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Company
and a Director to satisfy obligations for the payment of any withholding taxes
and other tax obligations relating thereto. This authority shall include
authority to withhold or receive Ordinary Shares or other property and to make
cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Director's tax
obligations.

      (d)   Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price of Options may be
paid in cash or by such other means as may be approved by the Committee in its
discretion;


                                      - 7 -



provided that any right to pay such exercise price by tendering Ordinary Shares
shall be limited to shares which have been held by the Director for at least six
months.

      (e)   No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor any action
taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any Director the right to be
retained in the service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate any Director's service at any time.

      (f)   Agreements. Each Director to whom Options or RSUs are granted under
the Plan shall be required to enter into a written agreement authorized by the
Committee in respect of such grant.

      (g)   Payments to Persons other than Directors. If the Board shall find
that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care
for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then
any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has
been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Board so
directs, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or
having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Board to be a
proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any
such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Board and the
Company therefor.

      (h)   Governing Law.

            (1)   The Plan, each Option and RSU hereunder and each related
      agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
      of Bermuda without reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof
      and the Company and any Director accepting a grant hereunder agrees to
      submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bermuda in
      respect of matters arising hereunder.

            (2)   All disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, relating
      to or in connection with the Plan, each Option and RSU hereunder and the
      related agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall
      be finally settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in
      accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce except
      as same may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The
      seat of the arbitration shall be Bermuda and it shall be conducted in the
      English language. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator who
      shall be selected by BIBA (Bermuda International Business Association), in
      the event that the parties fail to agree. The arbitral award shall be in
      writing, shall state reasons for the award, and shall be final and binding
      on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including
      reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements. Judgment on the award may be
      entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction
      over the parties or their assets.


                                      - 8 -



      (i)   Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company for the
purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or
place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or
otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank
accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or
separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Directors shall
have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the
Company.

      (j)   Nontransferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
Options and RSUs granted under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, donated, or
transferred or otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered except
(i) in the event of a Director's death, by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or (ii) if a Director has been designated to the Board pursuant to
the Shareholders Agreement, to the entity or an affiliate of the entity that has
so designated that Director to the Board (a "Director Affiliate"). During a
Director's lifetime, Options and RSUs granted under the Plan may be exercised or
settled only by the Director or a Director Affiliate.

      (k)   Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing Ordinary Shares
issued under the Plan shall bear such restrictive legends as the Committee deems
necessary to reflect transfer restrictions applicable thereto.

      (l)   Fractional Shares. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be
distributed under the Plan and, instead, the Fair Market Value of such
fractional Ordinary Share shall be distributed in cash, with the Fair Market
Value determined as of the date the fractional Ordinary Share would otherwise
have been distributable.

      (m)   Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be
taken into account in determining any benefits under any other benefit plan for
Directors of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided therein.

      (n)   Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by
the Company.

      (o)   Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the
Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict,
the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control.

9.    Changes in Capital Structure

Options and RSUs under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment or substitution,
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as to the number, price
or kind of shares or other consideration subject to such Options or RSUs or as
otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of
changes in the outstanding Ordinary Shares or in the capital structure of the
Company, by reason of share dividends, share splits, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, amalgamations, mergers, consolidations, combinations,
exchanges, liquidations, spinoffs or other relevant changes in capitalization,
or any distributions to holders of Ordinary Shares other than a regular cash


                                      - 9 -



dividend, occurring after the date of grant of any such Options or RSUs or (ii)
in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances
which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, Directors in the Plan, or which
otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended
operation of the Plan. In addition, in the event of any such adjustment or
substitution, the aggregate number and class of securities available under the
Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. The decisions of the Committee regarding any such adjustment or
substitution shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. Any
adjustment or substitutions made pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in
accordance with Section 424 of the Code.

10.   Effect of Change in Control

      (a)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any agreement relating
to an Option or RSU, in the event of a Change in Control as defined in paragraph
(3) or (4) of Section 2(b) hereof in connection with which the holders of
Ordinary Shares receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section
12 of the Exchange Act, (1) all outstanding Options shall immediately become
exercisable in full and (2) all outstanding RSUs shall be settled at the time of
such Change in Control and there shall be substituted for each Ordinary Share
available under this Plan, whether or not then subject to an outstanding Option
or RSU, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Ordinary
Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any
such substitution, the purchase price per Ordinary Share of each Option or RSU
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee (whose determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made without an increase
in the aggregate purchase price, if any.

      (b)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any agreement relating
to an Option or RSU, in the event of a Change in Control as defined in paragraph
(1) or (2) of Section 2(b) hereof, or in the event of a Change in Control as
defined in paragraph (3) or (4) of Section 2(b) hereof in connection with which
the holders of Ordinary Shares receive consideration other than shares of common
stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, each outstanding
Option and RSU shall be surrendered to the Company by the holder thereof, and
each such Option and RSU shall immediately be canceled by the Company, and the
holder shall receive, within ten days of the occurrence of a Change in Control,
a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number of Ordinary
Shares then subject to such Option or RSU, multiplied by the excess, if any, of
the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to shareholders of the
Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (B) the
Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date of occurrence of the Change
in Control, over the purchase price per Ordinary Share subject to the Option or
RSU (which purchase price shall be assumed to be zero for the purpose of
calculating the value of RSUs).

11.   Nonexclusivity of the Plan

      The adoption of this Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating
any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable.

12.   Amendments and Termination

      The Board may at any time terminate the Plan. In addition to the
adjustments and changes to Options and RSUs which may be made pursuant to
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, with the express written consent of an individual
Director, the Committee may cancel or reduce or otherwise alter the Director's
outstanding Options or RSUs. The Board may, at any time, or from time to time,
amend or suspend and, if suspended, reinstate, the Plan in whole or in part,
subject to approval of the Company's shareholders as required by applicable
regulation. Except as provided in Section 8(b) hereof, notwithstanding anything
herein which could be deemed to be to the contrary, the Board may not take any
action, including any amendment or termination of the Plan, which shall impair
to any extent the rights of a Director in respect of Options or RSUs previously
granted to a Director without the written consent of such Director, except as
expressly provided in Section 10 hereof. Except as provided in Section 9, the
Board may not, without approval of the shareholders of the Company, increase the
aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan.
