 MAX CAPITAL GROUP LTD. 
 RESTRICTED
STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
 This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is effective as of the _____ day
of _________, 2___ (the “Grant Date”) by and between Max Capital Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and _______________ (the “Grantee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company may grant awards of restricted Common Stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (the
“Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to grant the award of restricted Common Stock units provided for herein (the “Award”), to the Grantee in recognition of the Grantee’s service to the Company, in partial consideration for the Grantee’s
employment with the Company and in partial consideration for the Grantee’s agreement to comply with the Company’s policies as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, such grant to be subject to the terms set forth herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  

	1.	Basis for Award. This Award is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 8 thereof for services to be rendered to the Company by the Grantee.

  

	2.	Restricted Stock Units Awarded. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company hereby awards to the Grantee, in the aggregate, ___________ restricted Common Stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”), which shall be
subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	The Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to a separate account maintained for the Grantee on the books of the Company (the “Account”). On any given date,
the value of each Restricted Stock Unit comprising the Award shall equal the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock. The Award shall vest and settle in accordance with Section 3 hereof. 

  

	3.	Vesting and Settlement. 

  

	 	(a)	 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become non-forfeitable on ______ (the
“Vesting Date”); provided, that, the Grantee is then employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated at any time prior to the Vesting Date, the unvested
Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall automatically be forfeited upon such termination of employment, unless otherwise provided in Section 3(b) or Section 3(c). On the Vesting Date, the Company shall settle the
Restricted Stock Units and as a result thereof (i) issue and deliver to the 

  

 1 

	 	 
Grantee one share of Common Stock for each such Restricted Stock Unit (the “RSU Shares”) (and upon such settlement, the Restricted
Stock Units shall cease to be credited to the Account) and (ii) enter the Grantee’s name as a stockholder of record with respect to the RSU Shares on the books of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	Pro Rata Vesting. In the event of the Grantee’s death or if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Disability (as
defined below) or without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below), a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and be settled in accordance with the last sentence of
Section 3(a) as of the date of such termination, and all other unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate and be forfeited. The pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that vests shall be calculated by multiplying
the number of Restricted Stock Units by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of consecutive days the Grantee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date to the date of termination, and the
denominator of which shall equal _____ (rounded to the nearest whole number). 

 For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean termination upon thirty (30) days’ notice in the event that the Grantee suffers a mental or physical disability that shall have prevented him/her from performing his/her material duties for a
period of at least 120 consecutive days or 180 non-consecutive days within any 365 day period; provided, that, the Grantee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his/her duties within 30 days following receipt of such
notice. The Grantee shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his/her employment within thirty (30) days after the Grantee has knowledge of the occurrence, without the Grantee’s written consent, of one of the following
events that has not been cured, if curable, within thirty (30) days after a notice of termination has been given by the Grantee to the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable: (i) any material and adverse change to the Grantee’s
duties or authority which are inconsistent with his/her title and position, (ii) a material diminution of the Grantee’s title or position; or (iii) a reduction of the Grantee’s base salary; or (iv) any other reason which the
Company determines in its sole discretion is Good Reason; provided, however, that, if termination for “Good Reason” is defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement, the definition in the employment
agreement shall apply for purposes of this Section 3. 
  

	 	(c)	Full Vesting. Upon the Grantee’s Retirement, vesting (and settlement) shall continue according to the schedule set forth in Section 3(a) as if the Grantee
were still employed; provided, that, during the period following Retirement and prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee does not enter into any employment, consulting, service or similar arrangements or accept any directorship that has
not been pre-approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that the Grantee does enter into any such employment, consulting, service or similar arrangement or accepts any unapproved directorship, all unvested Restricted Stock Units
shall be immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall be defined as when the Grantee retires from the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, if the sum of the Grantee’s age and years of
service as an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries equals at least 55. 

  

 2 

	 	(d)	Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically
become vested and shall be settled in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3(a). 

  

	4.	Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays a cash dividend on its outstanding Common Stock for which the Record Date (for purposes of this Agreement, the
“Record Date” is the date on which shareholders of record are determined for purposes of paying the cash dividend on Common Stock) occurs after the Grant Date, the Grantee shall receive a cash payment equal to
the amount of the ordinary cash dividend paid by the Company on a single share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement that are unvested and unpaid as of such Record Date. Payments pursuant to
this Section 4 are subject to tax withholding. 

  

	5.	Restrictions. The Award granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise
permitted by the Committee) and may not be subject to lien, garnishment, attachment or other legal process. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit credited to his/her Account, the Grantee has no voting
rights with respect to the Company unless and until such Restricted Stock Unit is settled in RSU Shares pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. 

  

	6.	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of RSU Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable
requirements of securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. Prior to the issuance of any RSU Shares, the Company may
require that the Grantee (or the Grantee’s legal representative upon the Grantee’s death or Disability) enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with
applicable securities laws or with this Agreement. 

  

	7.	No Right to Continued Employment or Additional Awards. By signing below, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Award he/she has been awarded under the Plan, and
any other awards the Company may grant in the future to the Grantee, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount, (a) are wholly discretionary, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form
part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, (b) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or to continued employment, and
(c) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including, without limitation, termination indemnities, severance, resignation, redundancy, bonuses, long-term service awards,
pension or retirement benefits, or similar payments, except as otherwise required by applicable law. 

  

 3 

	8.	General Assets. All amounts credited to the Grantee’s Account under this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the
Company. The Grantee’s interest in the Account shall make the Grantee only a general, unsecured creditor of the Company. 

  

	9.	Rights as Shareholder. Upon and following the Vesting Date, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the RSU Shares unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise
disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting rights). Prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award. 

  

	10.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. 

  

	11.	Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms herein which are defined in the Plan have the
same definitions as provided in the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and the Grantee hereby acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and
provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and control. 

  

	12.	Policies. By accepting this Award and as a condition thereof, the Grantee agrees to comply with the Company’s policies that are attached hereto as
Exhibit A. 

  

	13.	Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution
of such a dispute by the Committee shall be binding on the Company and the Grantee. 

  

	13.	Tax Withholding. Upon settlement of the Award in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof, the Grantee shall recognize taxable income in respect of the Award
and the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, shall report such income to the appropriate taxing authorities in respect of the Award as it determines to be necessary and appropriate. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to
be made pursuant to the Plan the amount of any taxes required by law to be withheld therefrom, or to require the Grantee to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable in cash such amount required to be withheld prior to the issuance or
delivery of any shares of Common Stock. At the discretion of the Committee, such taxes may be paid by (a) delivering previously owned shares of Common Stock or (b) having the Company retain shares which would otherwise be delivered upon
exercise or payment of Awards or (c) any combination of a cash payment or the methods set forth in (a) and (b) above. 

  

	14.	Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, and each other provision shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 

  

	15.	 Data Privacy. In order to facilitate the administration of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, it will be necessary for the Company to
collect, hold, and process certain 

  

 4 

	 	 
personal information about the Grantee. As a condition of the Award, the Grantee consents to the Company collecting, holding and processing personal data and
transferring such data to third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. 

 

	 	(a)	The Data Recipients will treat the Grantee’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration
of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and will take reasonable measures to keep the Grantee’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current. 

  

	 	(b)	Where the transfer is to a destination outside the European Economic Area, the Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Grantee’s personal data continues to be
adequately protected and securely held. Nonetheless, by signing below, the Grantee acknowledges that personal information about the Grantee may be transferred to a country that does not offer the same level of data protection as the Republic of
Ireland. 

  

	 	(c)	The Grantee may, at any time, view his/her personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company.

  

	16.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede
all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

 Enforcement. If the Grantee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Exhibit A, the Company
shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, without posting a bond, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Grantee that the services being rendered hereunder to the Goup are of a
special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Group and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Group. Such right and remedy shall be in addition

             day of             , 2         (the “Grant
Date”) by and between Max Capital Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and              (the “Grantee”) 
 WHEREAS, the Company may grant awards of restricted common shares of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders to grant the award of restricted common shares provided for herein (the “Award”), to the Grantee in recognition of the Grantee’s services to the Company, in partial consideration for the
Grantee’s employment with the Company and in partial consideration for the Grantee’s agreement to comply with the Company’s policies as forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, such grant to be subject to the terms set forth herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth the parties hereto agree as follows:

  

	1.	Basis for Award. This Award is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 8 thereof for services to be rendered to the Company by the Grantee.

  

	2.	Stock Awarded. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company hereby awards to the Grantee, in the aggregate,              shares of Common Stock of the
Company (“Restricted Stock”), which shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Each certificate issued in respect of the Restricted Stock shall remain in book form with the Company’s transfer agent in the Grantee’s name. At the expiration of the
restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (or his/her legal representative, beneficiary or heir) share certificates for the Common Stock deposited with it free from legend except as otherwise provided by the Plan, this Agreement or as
otherwise required by applicable law. The Grantee shall have the right to receive dividends on and to vote the Restricted Stock while it is held in custody except as otherwise provided by the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	 Except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock are that they will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the
Grantee’s rights to such stock shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company, in the event of any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation, pledge or other alienation of such Restricted Stock made or
attempted, whether voluntary or involuntary, and if involuntary whether by 

  

 1 

	 	 
process of law in any civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding, whether in the nature of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, without the
written consent of the Board, excluding the Grantee, if he/she so serves on the Board. 

  

	3.	Vesting. 

  

	 	(a)	The restrictions described in Section 2 of this Agreement will lapse with respect to all of the Restricted Stock and such shares of Common Stock will become nonforfeitable on
            ; provided, that, except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee is then employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Grantee’s
employment is terminated at any time prior to the vesting date, the unvested Restricted Stock shall automatically be forfeited upon such cessation of service, unless otherwise provided in Sections 3(b) and (c). 

  

	 	(b)	Pro Rata Vesting. In the event of the Grantee’s death or if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Disability (as
defined below) or without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below), a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock shall vest as of the date of such termination, and all other unvested Restricted Stock shall
immediately terminate and be forfeited. The pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock that vests shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Restricted Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of consecutive
days the Grantee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date to the date of termination, and the denominator of which shall equal              (rounded
to the nearest whole number). 

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean termination upon 30
days’ notice in the event that the Grantee suffers a mental or physical disability that shall have prevented him/her from performing his/her material duties for a period of at least 120 consecutive days or 180 non-consecutive days within any
365 day period; provided, that, the Grantee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his/her duties within 30 days following receipt of such notice. The Grantee shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his/her
employment within 30 days after the Grantee has knowledge of the occurrence, without the Grantee’s written consent, of one of the following events that has not been cured, if curable, within 30 days after a notice of termination has been given
by the Grantee to the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable: (i) any material and adverse change to the Grantee’s duties or authority which are inconsistent with his/her title and position, (ii) a material diminution of the
Grantee’s title or position; (iii) a reduction of the Grantee’s base salary; or (iv) any other reason which the Company determines in its sole discretion to be a Good Reason; provided, however, that, if
termination for “Good Reason” is defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement, the definition in the employment agreement shall apply for purposes of this Section 3. 
  

 2 

	 	(c)	Full Vesting. Upon the Grantee’s Retirement, vesting shall continue according to the schedule set forth in Section 3(a) as if the Grantee were still employed;
provided, that, during the period following Retirement and prior to the vesting date, the Grantee does not enter into any employment, consulting, service or similar arrangements or accept any directorship that has not been pre-approved
by the Compensation Committee of the Company in its sole discretion. In the event that the Grantee does enter into any such employment, consulting, service or similar arrangement or accepts any unapproved directorship, all unvested Restricted Stock
shall be immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall be defined as when the Grantee retires from the Company or any Subsidiaries if the sum of the Grantee’s age and years of service as an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiaries equals at least 55. 

  

	 	(d)	Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all Restricted Stock shall automatically become vested and immediately nonforfeitable
in full. 

  

	4.	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable
requirements of securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. 

  

	5.	No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed by implication or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. 

  

	6.	Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s)
evidencing the Restricted Stock, together with any other legends that may be required by state or U.S. Federal securities laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bye-laws, any other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or
any agreement between the Grantee and any third party: 

 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER, AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

  

	7.	Representations and Warranties of the Grantee. The Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that: 

  

	 	(a)	 Agrees to Terms of the Plan. The Grantee has received a copy of the Plan and has read and understands the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement, and agrees to be 

  

 3

hereunder to the Goup are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Group and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Group. Such right

 MAX CAPITAL GROUP LTD. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is effective as of the              day of             ,
2         (the “Grant Date”) by and between Max Capital Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and
             (the “Grantee”) 
 WHEREAS, the Company may grant awards of restricted common shares of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the award of restricted common
shares provided for herein (the “Award”) to the Grantee in recognition of the Grantee’s services to the Company, in partial consideration for the Grantee’s employment with the Company and in partial consideration
for the Grantee’s agreement to comply with the Company’s policies as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, such grant to be subject to the terms set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	13.	Basis for Award. This Award is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 8 thereof for services to be rendered to the Company by the Grantee.

  

	14.	Stock Awarded. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company hereby awards to the Grantee, in the aggregate,              shares of Common Stock of the
Company (“Restricted Stock”), which shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Each certificate issued in respect of the Restricted Stock shall remain in book form with the Company’s transfer agent in the Grantee’s name. At the expiration of the
restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (or his/her legal representative, beneficiary or heir) share certificates for the Common Stock deposited with it free from legend except as otherwise provided by the Plan, this Agreement or as
otherwise required by applicable law. The Grantee shall have the right to receive dividends on and to vote the Restricted Stock while it is held in custody except as otherwise provided by the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	 Except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock are that they will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the
Grantee’s rights to such stock shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company, in the event of any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation, pledge or other alienation of such Restricted Stock made or
attempted, whether voluntary or involuntary, and if involuntary whether by 

  

 10 

	 	 
process of law in any civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding, whether in the nature of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, without the
written consent of the Board, excluding the Grantee, if he/she so serves on the Board. 

  

	15.	Vesting. 

  

	 	(a)	The restrictions described in Section 2 of this Agreement will lapse with respect to all of the Restricted Stock and such shares of Common Stock will become nonforfeitable on
            ; provided, that, except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee is then employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Grantee’s
employment is terminated at any time prior to the vesting date, the unvested Restricted Stock shall automatically be forfeited upon such cessation of service, unless otherwise provided in Sections 3(b) and (c). 

  

	 	(b)	Pro Rata Vesting. In the event of the Grantee’s death or if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Disability (as
defined below) or without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below), a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock shall vest as of the date of such termination, and all other unvested Restricted Stock shall
immediately terminate and be forfeited. The pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock that vests shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Restricted Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of consecutive
days the Grantee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date to the date of termination, and the denominator of which shall equal              (rounded
to the nearest whole number). 

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean termination upon 30
days’ notice in the event that the Grantee suffers a mental or physical disability that shall have prevented him/her from performing his/her material duties for a period of at least 120 consecutive days or 180 non-consecutive days within any
365 day period; provided, that, the Grantee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his/her duties within 30 days following receipt of such notice. The Grantee shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his/her
employment within 30 days after the Grantee has knowledge of the occurrence, without the Grantee’s written consent, of one of the following events that has not been cured, if curable, within 30 days after a notice of termination has been given
by the Grantee to the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable: (i) any material and adverse change to the Grantee’s duties or authority which are inconsistent with his/her title and position, (ii) a material diminution of the
Grantee’s title or position; (iii) a reduction of the Grantee’s base salary; or (iv) any other reason which the Company determines in its sole discretion to be a Good Reason; provided, however, that, if
termination for “Good Reason” is defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement, the definition in the employment agreement shall apply for purposes of this Section 3. 
  

 11 

	 	(c)	Full Vesting. Upon the Grantee’s Retirement, vesting shall continue according to the schedule set forth in Section 3(a) as if the Grantee were still employed;
provided, that, during the period following Retirement and prior to the vesting date, the Grantee does not enter into any employment, consulting, service or similar arrangements or accept any directorship that has not been pre-approved
by the Compensation Committee of the Company in its sole discretion. In the event that the Grantee does enter into any such employment, consulting, service or similar arrangement or accepts any unapproved directorship, all unvested Restricted Stock
shall be immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall be defined as when the Grantee retires from the Company or any Subsidiaries if the sum of the Grantee’s age and years of service as an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiaries equals at least 55. 

 If the Grantee’s employment is terminated because the Company or a
Subsidiary is unable to obtain a work permit for the Grantee’s continued employment in Bermuda with the Company or a Subsidiary and the Company does not offer the Grantee a comparable position of employment by one of the Company’s
Subsidiaries, then the Restricted Stock shall automatically become 100% vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment; provided, that, if the failure by the Company or its Subsidiary to obtain
such work permit is directly or indirectly related to any actions or omissions taken by the Grantee, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then all unvested Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited upon the date of termination.

  

	 	(d)	Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all Restricted Stock shall automatically become vested and immediately nonforfeitable
in full. 

  

	16.	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable
requirements of securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. 

  

	17.	No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed by implication or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. 

  

	18.	Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s)
evidencing the Restricted Stock, together with any other legends that may be required by state or U.S. Federal securities laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bye-laws, any other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or
any agreement between the Grantee and any third party: 

 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND 

  

 12 

 
TRANSFER, AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. 
  

	19.	Representations and Warranties of the Grantee. The Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that: 

  

	 	(a)	Agrees to Terms of the Plan. The Grantee has received a copy of the Plan and has read and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and
agrees to be bound by their terms and conditions. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting of Restricted Stock or disposition of the shares of Common Stock once vested, and that the Grantee should consult
a tax adviser prior to such time. 

  

	 	(b)	Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Grantee agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate
“stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 

  

	 	(c)	Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares have been so transferred.

  

	20.	Governing Law; Modification. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York without regard to the conflict of law principles. The Agreement may
not be modified except in writing signed by both parties. 

  

	21.	Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms herein which are defined in the Plan have the same
definitions as provided in the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and the Grantee hereby acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the discretionary
terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and control. 

  

	22.	Policies. By accepting this Award and as a condition thereof, the Grantee agrees to comply with the Company’s policies that are attached hereto as Exhibit
A. 

  

	23.	Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution
of such a dispute by the Committee shall be binding on the Company and the Grantee.

corporation or other form of business organization or arrangement (whether as a shareholder, partner, member, lender, principal, agent, director, officer, manager, trustee, representative, employee or consultant, except the Grantee may be a passive

 Enforcement. If the Grantee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Exhibit A, the Company
shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, without posting a bond, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Grantee that the services being rendered hereunder to the Goup are of a
special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Group and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Group. Such right and remedy shall be in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity. Accordingly, the Grantee consents to the issuance of an injunction, whether preliminary or permanent, consistent with the terms of this Exhibit
A.
