notice identifying the act or acts or failure or failures to act said to constitute Cause and an opportunity for the Executive to cure the deficiency within 30 days after receipt of such notice, or (B) willful and intentional failure to comply

 3 

 

 
  

	 	(c)	Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder (i) with Good Reason at any time or (ii) without Good Reason by

termination of his employment on account of his death, disability, or for Cause, (C) without the Executive’s prior written consent, any reduction in Base Salary and annual benefits in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1

provided that the Executive has provided the Board with written notice identifying the act or acts or failure or failures to act said to constitute Good Reason within 90 days of the occurrence of such act(s) and the opportunity for the
Company to cure the deficiency within 30 days after receipt of such notice. 

  

	 	(d)	Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than for death) shall be communicated by

Date of Termination and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, if any, claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. 

 

	 	(e)	Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his
death, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his disability pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) hereof, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall be not less than twelve months after such Notice is delivered, or (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company for Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which can be immediate. 

  
 4 

 

 
  

	 	(f)	Payment in lieu of notice. In lieu of providing Notice of Termination of employment in accordance with Sections 6(d) and 6(e)(iii) hereof and remaining employed
by the Company for any notice period specified within such Notice of Termination, the Company may, in its discretion, terminate the Executive’s employment immediately or upon such date as it determines appropriate (the “Section 6(f)
Termination Date”) provided that the Company must then pay to the Executive, within a reasonable time period determined by the Board the sum of: (x) his Annual Base Salary and annual benefits as described in Schedule I; and
(y) an amount equal to the average of the Annual Incentive received by the Executive for the three fiscal years prior to the year (including the Capital Market Group Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP) for each pool year) of the
Section 6(f) Termination Date or the target annual incentive for the current year, whichever is the greater, (the “Average Incentive Amount”) prorated based on the number of days elapsed in the current fiscal year as of
the Section 6(f) Termination Date. 

  

	 	(g)	Removal from Boards and Positions. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason under this Agreement, he shall be deemed to resign (i) if
a director, from the Board or Board of Directors of any subsidiary or affiliate of PartnerRe Ltd., (ii) from any position with PartnerRe Ltd. or any subsidiary or affiliate of PartnerRe Ltd., including, but not limited to, as an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 

  

	7.	COMPENSATION UPON RETIREMENT 

 In the event that the Executive’s employment terminates by reason of retirement, the provisions of this Section 7 shall determine the Executive’s entitlement to compensation and benefits in
connection with and subsequent to such termination. 
 If the Executive’s employment terminates as a result of his
retirement on or after attaining retirement age, as defined by the policy in place in the Executive’s country of employment in the year of his retirement, the Company shall pay to the Executive, within 30 days after the date on which his
employment terminates as a result of this retirement (the “Retirement Date”): (i) all accrued Base Salary and benefits through the Retirement Date (the “Accrued Benefits”), and (ii) the
Average Incentive Amount, prorated based on the number of days elapsed in the current fiscal year as of the Retirement Date, and (iii) any other payments or benefits that may be approved by the Board in its sole discretion; provided that,
if at the time of such termination, any payments required under this Section 7 are determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, such payments shall be paid to the Executive on the first business day of the seventh month after the
Retirement Date. All equity awards will be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plans and Equity Award Agreements. 

  
 5 

 

 
  

	8.	COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION

compensation and benefits in connection with and subsequent to such termination.

pay to the Executive, within 30 days after the Date of Termination, all accrued Base Salary and benefits through the Date of Termination (the “Accrued Benefits”) and within a reasonable period as determined by the Compensation
Committee and/or as is administratively practical any Annual Incentive earned in respect of the previous completed fiscal year but not paid as of the Date of Termination. The Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive after the Date
of Termination. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Executive’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, the Company shall pay to the Executive, or his legal representative or estate, as the case
may be, within 30 days after the Date of Termination the following: 

 (i) Upon his death, the Company shall either
pay the spouse or his dependent children or other dependents, in aggregate, provide for or take such actions necessary to ensure the following:

If the Company terminates the employment of the Employee by reason of disability, the Company shall: 
 (v) pay
to the Employee, not less frequently than monthly, the amount of any difference between the level of long-term disability benefits required to be maintained under the Benefit Plans (the “Maximum Monthly Benefit” as defined in the US
Benefit Plans), and the amount actually paid in satisfaction of such benefits by insurance, for so long as the Employee remains disabled and therefore entitled to such benefits;

 (x) pay a pro rata bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of

applicable, shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s health plans on the same basis as an active employee of the Company for a period of 12 months following the Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”)
or, if shorter, until the Executive becomes entitled to participate in or receive coverage under health plans of a subsequent employer. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this subsection
(c) of this Section 8, the Executive shall receive any payments to which he is entitled under subsection (f) of Section 6 (to the extent that subsection (f) of Section 6 is applicable) in addition to any payments and
benefits to which he is entitled under this subsection (c) of this Section 8. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than those reasons described in Section 7 or subsections

 7 

 

 
  

	9.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 The
Company shall indemnify the Executive (and his legal representatives or other successors and heirs) to the fullest extent permitted (including payment of expenses in advance of final disposition of the proceeding provided approved by the Board) by
the laws of Bermuda, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission; and the Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers,
against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by him or his legal representatives in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he (or his legal representatives or other successors and heirs) may be made a
party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or Executive of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made to the Executive for losses relating to any disgorgement remedy
contemplated by Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened against the Executive in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to the foregoing,
the Executive shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the institution of such action, suit or proceeding and the Company shall assume the defense thereof and the employment of counsel and payment of all fees and expenses, provided,
however, that if a conflict of interest exists between the Company and the Executive such that it is not legally practicable for the Company to assume the Executive’s defense, the Executive shall be entitled to retain separate counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Company at the Company’s expense. 
  

	10.	TAXES 

 The Company shall
deduct all taxes required by law from all amounts payable under this Agreement. 
  

	11.	CONFIDENTIALITY

otherwise required by law or judicial process, the Executive shall retain in confidence during and after termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company all confidential information known to the Executive concerning the Company and
its business. This clause shall remain in effect in perpetuity or until such confidential information is publicly disclosed by the Company or otherwise becomes publicly disclosed other than through the Executive’s actions. Violation by the
Executive of this Section 11 will give the Company the right to immediately terminate all future severance payments including any post termination exercise periods. 

  
 8 

 

 
  

	12.	COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE OR INTERFERE 

 In consideration of the benefits and entitlements provided by this Agreement, the Executive agrees that, during his employment hereunder and for the duration of the Severance Period (the period between
the date of “Notice of Termination” and “Date of Termination”) he will not, other than on behalf of the Company, directly or indirectly, as a sole proprietor, agent, broker or intermediary, member of a partnership, or
stockholder, investor, officer or director of a corporation, or as an employee, agent, associate or consultant of any person, firm or corporation: 
  

	 	(a)	Solicit, encourage, induce or accept business (i) from any clients of the Company or its affiliates, (ii) from any prospective clients whose business the
Company or any of its affiliates is in the process of soliciting at the time of the Executive’s termination, or (iii) from any former clients which had been doing business with the Company or its affiliates within one year prior to the
Executive’s termination; 

  

	 	(b)	Solicit or hire any employee of the Company or its affiliates to terminate such employee’s employment with the Company; provided 

 

	 	(c)	During the vesting period of all outstanding equity awards the Executive will not be permitted to serve as an officer or employee of a firm or corporation which is
directly or indirectly engaged in the same type of business as the Company or the insurance or reinsurance industry, unless the Executive receives clearance from the President & Chief Executive Officer of PartnerRe Ltd. Provided at all
times the Executive complies with Sections 11 and 12, the Executive shall be permitted to serve as a director or consultant (i.e. an external advisor for specific projects or matters) with a firm or corporation which is directly or indirectly
engaged in the same type of business as the Company or the insurance or reinsurance industry, without requiring clearance from the President & Chief Executive Officer of PartnerRe Ltd, following his termination of employment with the
Company by reason of retirement. 

 The parties acknowledge and agree that the Executive’s breach or
threatened breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Sections 11 and 12 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief,
including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach or threatened or attempted breach. The Executive hereby consents to the grant of an injunction (temporary or otherwise) against the Executive or the entry of any other
court order against the Executive prohibiting and enjoining him from violating, or directing him to comply with any provision of Sections 11 and 12. The Executive also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including
damages, available to the Company against him for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches. The Executive acknowledges that he has received good and valuable consideration for the obligations contained in Sections 11 and 12. Violation by
the Executive of any of the restrictions contained in Sections 11 and 12 will give the Company the right to immediately terminate all future severance payments including any post termination exercise periods.

exclusive jurisdiction of the ordinary courts of the state of Connecticut.

	18.	ARBITRATION 

 The Company
and the Executive agree to arbitrate any controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Executive’s employment by the Company or the termination of such employment to the extent required (including, but not
limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination or age, sex, race or other discrimination); provided that the Company shall have the right to, and be permitted to, seek and obtain injunctive relief from a court of competent

enforcement as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. Each party shall bear his or its own costs incurred by any such arbitration. The arbitrator may require the losing party thereto, as determined by the arbitrator, to bear the costs
and fees incurred in any such arbitration, including legal fees and expenses. Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company and the Executive.

	19.	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	 	(a)	The parties hereto agree that this Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between them, and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements
between the parties, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement by and between the Executive effective October 1, 2010, respecting the provision of services by the Executive to the Company other than the provisions of any Plan or
Benefit Plan or award or other instrument entered into hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	The parties further agree that the provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in
writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 

  

	 	(c)	The form and timing of all payments under this Agreement shall be made in a manner which complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

  

	 	(d)	Except as set forth in the Plans, Equity Award Agreements or Benefit Plans, no agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9 or Section 14 hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other
than the Company and the Executive any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

 

	20.	SEVERABILITY AND JUDICIAL MODIFICATION 

 If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this
Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree that any such court or
arbitration panel is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any
or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by
law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court or arbitration panel shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the 

  
 12 

 

 
  

 provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions had never been set forth herein. 
  

	21.	COUNTERPARTS 

 This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

 

	22.	CHANGE OF CONTROL 

 The
terms of the Change in Control Policy (the “CIC Policy”) as approved by the Compensation Committee and any amendment thereto, shall apply to the Executive. The CIC Policy shall be incorporated in this Agreement and shall be
binding on the Executive as if such CIC Policy were contained herein verbatim. 
  

	23.	SECTION 409A 

 It is
intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A and the Treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Executive to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A. In
furtherance of this objective, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Section 409A would result in the Executive being subject to payment of “additional tax” under Section 409A, the parties agree to use
their best efforts to amend this Agreement in order to avoid the imposition of any such “additional tax” under Section 409A, which such amendment shall be designed to minimize the adverse economic effect on the Executive without
increasing the cost to the Company (other than transactions costs), all as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company and the Executive to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions. This
Section 23 does not guarantee that payments under this Agreement will not be subject to “additional tax” under Section 409A.
