conditions as described in Section 8(d) above. Following such termination of Employee’s employment upon expiration of the Term of Employment, except as set forth in this Section 8(g), Employee shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (h) Expiration of the Term of Employment following Non-Extension
Notice by Employee. Upon the delivery of a Non-Extension Notice by Employee to the Company, Employee’s employment shall terminate upon the close of business of the last day of the Term of Employment. Upon such expiration of the Term of
Employment, Employee shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) The Applicable Severance Benefits, payable (x) as to 75% thereof in substantially equal installments over the
twelve (12) month period following the date 

  
 -12-









 
of Employee’s termination, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and (y) as to 25% thereof, subject to Employee’s compliance during the twelve
(12) month period following the date of Employee’s termination with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in a lump sum upon the expiration of such period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the payment schedule
set forth above in this subsection (ii), that portion of the Applicable Severance Benefits remaining unpaid as of December 31, 2017, following such termination shall be paid to Employee, subject to Section 8(m) below, in a lump sum on
December 31, 2017; provided further, however, that Employee shall not be entitled to any amounts pursuant to this Section 8(h)(ii) to the extent Employee received any benefits pursuant to Section 8(l) below prior
to such termination; and 
 (iii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended
prior to the date of such termination, such amount to be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no such termination occurred. 
 Following such termination of Employee’s employment upon expiration of the Term of Employment, except as set forth in this Section 8(h), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation
or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (i) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Company may require that, prior to payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations), Employee and the Company shall have executed mutual general releases in the form as is
reasonably agreed to by the Company and Employee, and any waiting periods contained in such release shall have expired. Such release, if required by the Company, shall be delivered to Employee within ten (10) business days following the
termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, and the Company’s failure to deliver such release to Employee within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute a waiver of such requirement. Assuming a timely delivery of the
release by the Company, if Employee fails to execute such release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Employee shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any case where the date of Employee’s termination and the Release Expiration Date fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Employee that are treated as deferred
compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in the later taxable year. For purposes of this Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” means the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon
which the Company timely delivers to Employee the release contemplated herein, or in the event that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined
in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date. 

(j) Post-Termination Cooperation. Following any termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall
reasonably cooperate with the Company to assist with existing or future investigations, proceedings, litigations or examinations involving the Company or any Affiliates. For each day, or part thereof, that Employee provides assistance to the Company
as contemplated hereunder, the Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to (x) divided by (y), where (x) equals the sum of Base Salary and target Annual Bonus as in effect on the date of Employee’s termination of employment, and
(y) equals 200. In addition, upon 

  
 -13-









 
presentment of satisfactory documentation, the Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket travel, lodging and other incidental expenses he incurs in providing such assistance.
Employee shall not be required to travel to Bermuda to provide any assistance contemplated hereunder, but, if requested by the Company, shall make reasonable good faith efforts to travel to such locations as the Company may reasonably request.

 (k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any
nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Employee has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg.
1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Employee on the schedule set forth in this Section 8
as if Employee had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of his ultimate “separation from service.” Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (l) Accelerated Payment of Applicable Severance Benefits. To the extent
Employee has not suffered a termination of employment prior to December 31, 2017, Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Applicable Severance Benefits, payable in a lump sum on December 31, 2017; provided,
however, that to the extent Employee ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or is terminated by the Company for Cause, in either case following the date on which Employee receives the Applicable Severance Benefits
pursuant to this Section 8(l), Employee shall repay to the Company an amount equal to the Applicable Severance Benefits. 

(m) Prior Prepayment of Certain Severance Benefits. Employee acknowledges and agrees that during each calendar year commencing
with calendar year 2010 and ending with calendar year 2012 Employee received a payment (each such payment, a “Prior Prepaid Severance Installment”) equal to 125% of the amount, if any, by which Employee’s Base Salary as in
effect as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Prior Year”) exceeded Employee’s Base Salary as in effect as of the end of the calendar year immediately preceding the Prior Year. To the extent
Employee ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or is terminated by the Company for Cause (each case, a “Repayment Trigger”), Employee shall repay to the Company an amount equal to all Prior Prepaid
Severance Installments. 
 (n) Clawback of Applicable Severance Benefits. To the extent (x) all or any portion of
the payment to Employee of the Applicable Severance Benefits is accelerated to December 31, 2017, pursuant to the provision set forth in Section 8(b)(iii), (d)(iii), (f)(ii), or (h)(ii), as applicable (including to the extent payable by
cross-reference to any of such provisions) (the “Accelerated Severance Amount”), and (y) subsequent to December 31, 2017, and during the Restricted Period Employee ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Employee shall repay to the Company an amount equal to the Accelerated Severance Amount. 

  
 -14-









 (o) In the event Employee is required to repay any amounts to the Company pursuant to
Section 8(l), (m), or (n), the Company may offset such amounts against any monies owed to Employee or his estate following the date on which such obligation to repay arises, except to the extent such offset is not permitted under
Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of additional taxes or penalties on Employee. 
 Section 9.
Restrictive Covenants. Employee acknowledges and agrees that (A) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 9 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and
(ii) essential to protect the value of the Company’s business and assets, and (B) by his employment with the Company, Employee will obtain knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability
that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment. For purposes of this Section 9, references to the
Company shall be deemed to include its Affiliates. 
 (a) Confidential Information. Except as directed or authorized by
the Company, Employee agrees that he will not, at any time during or after the Term of Employment, make use of or divulge to any other person, firm or corporation any trade or business secret, process, method or means, or any other confidential
information concerning the business or policies of the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or affiliates, which he may have learned in connection with his employment hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, a “trade or business
secret, process, method or means, or any other confidential information” shall mean any information that Employee knows to be confidential or proprietary. Employee’s obligation under this Section 9(a) shall not apply to any
information which (i) is known publicly; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the public domain without the fault of Employee; (iii) is known to Employee prior to his receipt of such information from the Company, as
evidenced by written records of Employee or (iv) is hereafter disclosed to Employee by a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the Company. Employee agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company, except as an employee of
the Company in pursuit of the business of the Company or except as specifically permitted in writing by the Board, any document or other object containing or reflecting any such confidential information. Employee recognizes that all such documents
and objects, whether developed by him or by someone else, will be the sole exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of his employment hereunder, Employee shall forthwith deliver to the Company all such confidential information, including
without limitation all lists of customers, correspondence, accounts, records and any other documents or property made or held by him or under his control in relation to the business or affairs of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and no
copy of any such confidential information shall be retained by him. 
 (b) Non-Competition. Employee covenants and
agrees that during the Restricted Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the
employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any services for any Person (other than the Company), that engages in any Competitive Activities within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 9(b)
shall not prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the 

  
 -15-









 
outstanding voting securities of any publicly-held corporation or from being a passive investor in any mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity fund or similar pooled account so long as
Employee’s interest therein is less than three percent (3%) and he has no role in selecting or managing investments thereof. 
 (c) Non-Interference. During the Restricted Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities.

 (d) Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall
deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the Company, and he shall not take with him any such property, documents or data or any reproduction
thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. 
 (e) Works for Hire. Employee
agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or
registerable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the Term of Employment, whether or not during regular
working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development activities of the Company; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed
for the Company; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with Company personnel (collectively referred to as “Developments”). Employee hereby assigns all
right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments to the Company. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense (but for no other consideration of any kind), to further evidence, record and perfect such
assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s
behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. In addition, and not in contravention of any of the
foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is
defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USC Sec. 101). To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral
rights.” To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights, in each case,
to the full extent of such applicable law. Employee will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company. 
 (f) Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 9 unenforceable, the other
provisions of this Section 9 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic 

  
 -16-









 
scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time
period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size. 
 Section 10. Breach of Restrictive Covenants.

 Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in Section 9 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its subsidiaries for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of
such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened
breach of Section 9 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 9 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 9 hereof. Notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 9(b) or (c) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks
to enforce such covenants against Employee or another Person with whom Employee is affiliated if it is ultimately determined that Employee was in breach of such covenants. 
 Section 11. Representations and Warranties of Employee. 
 Employee
represents and warrants to the Company that: 
 (a) Employee’s continued employment will not conflict with or result in his
breach of any agreement to which he is a party or otherwise may be bound; 
 (b) Employee has not violated, and in connection
with his continued employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which he is or may be bound; and 

(c) In connection with Employee’s continued employment with the Company, he will not use any confidential or proprietary information
that he may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer. 
 Section 12. Indemnification

 (a) Indemnification. The Company shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Employee to the fullest extent permitted by
Bermuda law, as currently in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, costs, interest or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) that may be incurred or suffered by Employee in connection with or arising out of his service with the Company or its Affiliates (whether prior to or following the date hereof), subject
only to the provisions of subsection (b) below. 

  
 -17-









 (b) Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. No indemnification shall be made under
this Section 12 in respect of the following: 
 (i) Losses relating to the disgorgement remedy contemplated
by Section 16 of the Exchange Act; 
 (ii) Losses arising out of a knowing violation by Employee of a
material provision of this Section 12 or any other agreement to which Employee is a party with the Company or its Affiliates; and 
 (iii) Losses arising out of a final, nonappealable conviction of Employee by a court of competent jurisdiction for a knowing violation of criminal law. 

Moreover, the Company shall not effect any advances, or advance any costs, relating to any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Employee unless the
initiation thereof was approved by the Board, or as may be approved or ordered by a competent tribunal. 
 (c) Prepayment of
Expenses. Unless Employee otherwise elects via written notice to the Company, expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation of Employee’s good faith belief that his conduct does not constitute the sort of behavior that would preclude his indemnification under this Section 12 and Employee
furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Section 12. 

(d) Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 12 shall continue
during the period in which Employee is employed the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Employee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that Employee was a employed by the Company. 
 (e)
Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and prepayment of expenses provided by this Section 12 is in addition to and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which Employee may be entitled under the
Company’s Memorandum of Association, the Company’s By-Laws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, Bermuda law, any other law (common or statutory) or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall
be deemed to prohibit the Company from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or Employee against any expense, liability or loss incurred by it or him, whether or not Employee would be indemnified against such
expense, liability or loss under this Section 12; provided, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 12 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Employee has otherwise
actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. In the event the Company makes any indemnification payments to Employee and Employee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, Employee
shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement. 

  
 -18-









 Section 13. Taxes. 

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment
and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. 
 Section 14. Mitigation; Set Off. 

The Company’s obligation to pay Employee the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall not be subject to
set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Employee to the Company or its Affiliates. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise
and the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Employee’s other employment or otherwise. 

Section 15. Delay in Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Employee at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s employment
shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. On the earliest date on which such payments can be made without violating the requirements of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code, there shall be paid to Employee, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. 
 Section 16. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. 
 (a)
The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets or any successor to the Company
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise). The Company will require in a writing delivered to Employee any such purchaser, successor or assignee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such purchase, succession or assignment had taken place. The Company may make no other assignment of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder. 

(b) Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Employee by assignment or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s
devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate. 
 (c) No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 16(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company and Employee any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

  
 -19-









 Section 17. Waiver and Amendments. 

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed
by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights
hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 

Section 18. Severability. 
 If any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) the remaining terms and provisions
hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision hereof. 
 Section 19. Governing Law. 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF BERMUDA (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW
PRINCIPLES THEREOF) APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH COUNTRY. 
 Section 20.
Notices. 
 (a) Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to
or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, provided that, unless and until some other address be so
designated, all notices or communications by Employee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to Employee may be given to Employee personally or
may be mailed to Employee at Employee’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. 
 (b) Any notice
so addressed shall be deemed to be given: (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery; (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first business day following the date of such mailing; and (iii) if mailed by
registered or certified mail, on the third business day after the date of such mailing.

Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding the
employment of Employee following the Commencement Date. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this

following the first filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement (and if any such bonus or compensation has been earned but not paid, it shall be forfeited)

reimbursement described in this paragraph (a) shall apply only if and to the extent that one of clauses (x) or (y) applies, being (x) if the restatement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due to
Employee’s personal misconduct, the reimbursement described in this paragraph (a) shall apply only to compensation paid within 60 months following the first such filing which contains the financial statement which is ultimately restated

person other than the Company (including to any governmental authority) as compensation for any loss incurred in connection with such sale of securities.

regulations, court decisions and the like interpreting Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; provided that the Company and Employee acknowledge that this Section 24 is broader than such Section 304. 

Section 25. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this
Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.
