During the course of Executive’s employment, Executive has had and will have access to certain trade secrets and confidential information relating to the Company and the Related Companies which is not readily available from sources outside the Company.  The parties agree that the business in which the Company engages is highly sales‐oriented and the goodwill established between Executive and the Company’s customers and potential customers is a valuable and legitimate business interest worthy of protection under this Agreement.  Executive recognizes that, by virtue of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive is granted otherwise prohibited access to the Company’s confidential and proprietary data which is not known to its competitors and which has independent economic value to the Company and that Executive will gain an intimate knowledge of the Company’s reinsurance business and its policies, customers, employees and trade secrets, and of other confidential, proprietary, privileged or secret information of the Company and its clients (collectively, all such nonpublic information is referred to as “Confidential Information”).

Except as required by law or an order of a court or governmental agency with jurisdiction, Executive will not, during the Term or any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor will Executive use it in any way.  Executive will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.  Executive understands and agrees that Executive will acquire no rights to any such Confidential Information. 
At the Company’s request from time to time and upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form, of all Confidential Information in Executive’s possession or within Executive’s control (including, but not limited to, memoranda, records, notes, plans, photographs, manuals, notebooks, documentation, program listings, flow charts, magnetic media, disks, diskettes, tapes and all other materials containing any Confidential Information) irrespective

(c)    Non-Solicitation or Hire.  While employed by the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason (whether during or after the Term) (the “Non-Solicit Period”), Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly, (1) any party who is a client, customer or policyholder of the Company or a Related Company, or who was a client, customer or policyholder of the Company or a Related Company at any time during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of termination, for the purpose of marketing, selling or providing to any such party any services or products offered by or available from the Company or a Related Company and (2) any employee of the Company or a Related Company or any person who was an employee of the Company or a Related Company during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates to terminate such employee’s employment relationship with the Company or a Related Company, in either case, to enter into a similar relationship with Executive or any other person or any entity in competition with the Company or a Related Company.

8.    Remedies; Specific Performance.  The parties acknowledge and agree that Executive’s breach or threatened breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company and the Related Companies for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company and the Related Companies are entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or threatened or attempted breach.  Executive consents to the grant of an injunction (temporary or otherwise) against Executive or the entry of any other court order against Executive prohibiting and enjoining Executive from violating, or directing Executive to comply with, any provision of Section 6.  Executive also agrees that such remedies are in addition to any and all remedies, including damages, available to the Company and the Related Companies against Executive for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches.  In addition, without limiting the Company’s and the Related Companies’ remedies for any breach of any restriction on Executive set forth in Section 6, except as required by law, Executive is not entitled to any payments set forth in Section 5(b) if Executive has breached the covenants contained in Section 6.  Executive will immediately return to the Company any such payments previously received under Section 5(b) upon such a breach and, in the event of such breach, the Company will have no obligation to pay any of the amounts that remain payable by the Company under Section 5(b).
9.    Code Section 409A.  The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement related to the timing of payments following Executive’s termination or resignation.
(a)    Delay of Payments.  If, at the time of Executive’s termination or resignation with the Company, Executive is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then the payments under Section 5(b), any outstanding awards payable under the Omnibus Plan, and any other amounts payable under this Agreement that the Company determines constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and which are subject to the six-month delay required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(v), shall be delayed and not paid to Executive until the first business day following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination or resignation (the “Short-Term Deferral Date”), at which time such delayed amounts will be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum (the “Catch-Up Amount”).  If payment of an amount is delayed as a result of this Section 9(a), such amount shall be increased with interest from the date on which such amount would otherwise have been paid to Executive but for this Section 9(a) to the day prior to the date the Catch-Up Amount is paid.  The rate of interest shall be the applicable short-term federal rate applicable under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code for the month in which the date of Executive’s termination or resignation occurs.  Such interest shall be paid at the same time that the Catch-Up Amount is paid.  If Executive dies on or after the date of Executive’s termination or resignation and prior to the Short-Term Deferral Date, any amount delayed pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, together with interest, within 30 days following the date of Executive’s death.
(b)    “Specified Employee” has the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  The determination of whether Executive constitutes a Specified Employee on the date of his termination or resignation shall be made in accordance with the Company’s established methodology for determining Specified Employees.
(c)    “Separation from Service” means a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of the default rules under the final regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.  For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “terminate,” “terminated,” “termination” and “resignation” mean a termination of Executive’s employment that constitutes a Separation from Service.
(d)    Separate Payments and Reimbursements.  For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to this Agreement, each separately identifiable amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefit payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, such reimbursements and in-kind benefit payments shall be made in accordance with Section 409A, and payments of such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred.
