 EXHIBIT 10.6 
 Third Point Reinsurance Limited 
 Restricted Share Award Agreement

 This RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of
            , 2012, is entered into by and between Third Point Reinsurance Limited, a Bermuda corporation (the “Company”), and the Employee whose name appears on the
signature page hereof (the “Employee”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in Section 14. 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant Shares subject to certain restrictions to the Employee and to evidence the grant of such Shares hereby. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby
evidences and confirms the grant to the Employee, effective as of the date hereof (the “Grant Date”), of the number of Shares specified on the signature page hereof (the “Restricted Shares”). 

2. Vesting. 
 (a) Normal Vesting. The Restricted Shares shall become fully vested on the «Vesting_Anniversary» anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the Employee’s continuous employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date to such anniversary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of such Restricted Shares shall also become vested at the time and under the circumstances described in Sections 4 and 5. 

(b) No Other Accelerated Vesting. The vesting provisions set forth in this Section 2 and in Sections 4 and 5 shall be
the exclusive vesting provisions applicable to the Restricted Shares and shall supersede any other provisions relating to vesting, unless such other provision expressly refers to this Agreement by name and date. 

3. Share Power; Legending; Custody. In connection with and prior to the grant of the Restricted Shares, the Employee shall have
executed and delivered to the Company a joinder to the Members Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares, the original share certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall bear such legends
set forth in this Agreement; provided that if the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine that, under applicable securities laws, any certificates must bear a legend restricting the transfer of such Shares following vesting of the
Restricted Shares, the original share certificates 







 
shall bear the appropriate legend. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such share certificates shall be held in custody by the Secretary of the Company on behalf of the Employee.

 4. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Special Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, which shall not use its discretion to decrease any rights provided under this Agreement, in the event that the Employee’s
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary (i) terminates by reason of the Employee’s death, (ii) terminates by reason of the Employee’s Disability, (iii) is terminated by the Company without Cause,
or (iv) is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason (each a “Special Termination”), all Restricted Shares held by the Employee that are then unvested shall become vested. 

(b) Other Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event that the Employee’s
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than a Special Termination, all Restricted Shares held by the Employee that are then unvested shall be automatically cancelled and forfeited without payment therefor.

 5. Change in Control. 
 (a) Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Shares. In the event of a Change in Control, each Restricted Share held by the Employee that is then unvested shall become vested. 

(b) Limitation on Benefits. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of the
payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and the Employee (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the Employee shall be entitled to waive any or all such Payments to the extent necessary to avoid the application of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. In addition, if
(x) immediately prior to a change in ownership or control (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), the Company is a corporation described in Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii)(I) of the Code, and (y) the Employee
elects to provide the waiver contemplated by this Section 5(b), the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause any Payments arising out of or in connection with such change in ownership or control to which the Employee is or may become
entitled to be submitted for shareholder approval in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1, Q&A-7.

 6. Limited Appointment. The Employee hereby (i) appoints the Company as
the limited attorney-in-fact of the Employee to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate solely to effectuate a transfer of the record ownership of any such Restricted Shares that are unvested and forfeited hereunder and
(ii) agrees to sign such share powers and take such other actions as the Company may reasonably request to accomplish the transfer of any unvested Restricted Shares that are forfeited hereunder. 

7. Tax Withholding. Upon vesting of the Restricted Shares, the Company or any Subsidiary shall have the power to withhold, or
require the Employee to remit to the Company or such Subsidiary, an amount sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements relating to such transaction. 

8. Restrictions on Transfer. Prior to vesting, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered,
or otherwise alienated or hypotheticated. 
 9. Shareholder Rights; Voting, Dividends, etc. The Employee shall be
entitled to (i) receive any and all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to those vested and unvested Restricted Shares of which the Employee is the record owner on the record date for such dividend or other distribution
and (ii) subject to the terms of the Members Agreement, vote any Restricted Shares of which the Employee is the record owner on the record date for such vote; provided, however, that any cash or property distributed with
respect to a Restricted Share (the “Associated Share”) acquired hereunder, including without limitation, a distribution of shares by reason of a share dividend, share split, or otherwise, or a distribution of other securities with
respect to an Associated Share, shall be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the Associated Share remains subject to such restrictions, and shall be forfeited if and when the Associated Share is so
forfeited; and provided, further, that any cash dividends or distributions paid with respect to an Associated Share shall accrue, but shall not be paid to the Employee and shall be subject to forfeiture until such Associated Share
become vested. 
 10. Beneficiary Designation. The Employee may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries
(who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Employee, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by
the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Employee in writing with the Committee during his or her lifetime. 

11. No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
any Subsidiary to 

  
 3 








 
terminate the Employee’s employment at any time, or confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“employment” shall be deemed to refer to the Employee’s provision of services to the Company or any Subsidiary as an employee or independent contractor (including as a nonemployee member of the Board), and the “termination of
employment” and corollary phrases shall be deemed to refer to the Employee’s cessation of such services with respect to all such persons in all capacities. 
 12. Right of the Company and the Sponsors to Purchase Shares from the Employee (“Call Right”). 
 (a) Right to Repurchase Shares. If the Employee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than a Special Termination prior to a Public Offering, the
Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Employee’s vested Restricted Shares by written notice to the Employee delivered on or before the 60th day after the Determination Date. The Sponsors may elect to purchase all or any
portion of such Restricted Shares that the Company has not elected to purchase by written notice to the Employee delivered at any time on or before the 80th day after the Determination Date. 

(b) Purchase Price. If the Employee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than a
Special Termination prior to a Public Offering, the purchase price per vested Restricted Share pursuant to this Section 12 shall equal the Fair Market Value as of the later of (i) the effective date of the Employee’s
termination of employment (determined without regard to any statutory or deemed or express contractual notice period) and (ii) six months and one day from the date of the Employee’s acquisition of the Restricted Shares (such date,
the “Determination Date”). 
 (c) Closing of Purchase; Payment of Purchase Price. Subject to
Section 12(e), the closing of a purchase pursuant to this Section 12 shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later than the 90th day following the Determination Date. At the closing, (i) the Company or the
Sponsors, as the case may be, shall, subject to Section 12(d), pay the Purchase Price to the Employee and (ii) if the Employee actually holds any certificates or other instruments representing the Restricted Shares so purchased, the
Employee shall deliver to the Company such certificates or other instruments, appropriately endorsed by the Employee or directing that the Restricted Shares be so transferred to the purchaser thereof, as the Company may reasonably require.

 (d) Application of the Purchase Price to Certain Loans or Other Obligations. The Company and the Sponsors shall be
entitled to apply any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 12 to discharge any indebtedness of the 

  
 4 








 
Employee to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or indebtedness that is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to offset any such amounts against any other obligations of the
Employee to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (e) Certain Restrictions on Repurchases; Delay of Repurchase.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be permitted or obligated to make any payment with respect to a repurchase of any Restricted Shares from the Employee if (i) such repurchase (or the payment of
a dividend by a Subsidiary to the Company to fund such repurchase if the Company otherwise lacks the funds to pay the Purchase Price) would result in a violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default or an event of default under any
of the Financing Agreements; (ii) such repurchase would violate any of the terms or provisions of the Company’s governing corporate documents; (iii) the Company has no funds legally available to make such payment under
applicable law; (iv) such repurchase would result in an adverse ratings action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by A.M. Best & Company; or (v) the Board concludes it would not be in the interest of the
Company to repurchase such Restricted Shares (each, a “Deferral Condition”). If payment with respect to a repurchase by the Company otherwise permitted or required under this Section 12 is prevented by the terms of the
preceding sentence, (x) the payment of the applicable Purchase Price shall be postponed and will take place at the first opportunity after the Board determines that the Deferral Condition no longer exists; (y) such repurchase
obligation shall rank against other similar repurchase obligations with respect to Shares according to priority in time of the effective date of the termination of employment giving rise to such repurchase; and (z) the Purchase Price
shall be increased by an amount equal to interest on such Purchase Price for the period during which payment is delayed at an annual rate equal to the weighted average cost of the Company’s senior secured bank indebtedness outstanding during
the delay period. 
 (f) Right to Retain Shares. If the rights of the Company and the Sponsors to purchase the
Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 12 are not exercised within the applicable time periods specified in Section 12(a) with respect to all of the Restricted Shares, the Employee shall be entitled to retain the remaining Restricted
Shares, although those Restricted Shares shall remain subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 (g)
Notice of Termination; Etc. Prior to a Public Offering, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsors of any termination of a Employee’s employment with the Company and of the Company’s decision whether or not to
purchase Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 12(a). 

  
 5 








 (h) Expiration upon a Public Offering. The provisions of this Section 12 shall
terminate upon a Public Offering, provided that such termination shall not affect any payment obligation postponed pursuant to Section 12(e). 
 (i) Allocation of Purchase Rights. The Sponsors may allocate their purchase rights under this Section 12, as among themselves, in such manner as they, in their sole discretion, may agree from
time to time; provided that in the event the Sponsors do not reach an agreement with respect to such allocation prior to the time at which any such purchase would occur, the rights shall be allocated pro rata between the Sponsors based on
their ownership of the Company’s Shares at the time of such purchase. 
 13. Restrictions on Sale upon Public
Offering. Except as otherwise provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Employee agrees that, in the event that the Company files a registration statement under the Act with respect to a public offering of any of its capital shares, the
Employee will not effect any sale or distribution of Shares including, but not limited to, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, within seven days prior to and 90 days (unless the Company is advised by the managing underwriter that a longer
period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration (the “Trigger
Date”), except as part of such registration or unless, in the case of a sale or distribution not involving a public offering, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to this Section 12; provided that with respect to any
shelf registration statement on Form S-3, the Trigger Date shall be the pricing of any offering made under such registration statement and the Employee agrees to execute a customary holdback agreement with the underwriters for any such public
offering. 
 14. Interpretation; Construction. Any determination or interpretation by the Committee under or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. 
 15. Amendments. The
Committee may, at its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any unvested Restricted Shares (but not any previously granted vested Restricted Shares) awarded pursuant to this
Agreement in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting set forth in Section 2 hereof, substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that if such alteration, amendment, suspension, or
termination shall not preserve the economic value or shall otherwise materially adversely affect the Employee’s rights, as determined by the Committee in its sole good faith discretion, of any previously granted unvested Restricted Shares, the
Committee shall only be permitted to alter, amend, suspend, or terminate such previously granted unvested Restricted Shares if it shall obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of

all unvested Restricted Shares granted under this Agreement and any similar restricted share award agreements that are similarly affected by such amendment. The Company shall give written notice
