 Re: Employment Stay Protection 

Dear Peter: 
 This letter agreement (“Stay
Agreement”) confirms our recent discussion regarding the terms of our arrangement to provide some assurances to you as well as retain you in the position of Chief Operating Officer of Alterra Capital Holdings Limited (the “Company”).
Your signature at the bottom of this Stay Agreement will indicate your acceptance of the following terms and conditions: 
  

	 	1.	You agree to continue working full-time in your current position of Chief Operating Officer of the Company until at least April 1, 2012. 

 

	 	2.	You agree that you must give the Company 120 calendar day’s notice of your intent to terminate your employment for any termination effective between the date of
this Stay Agreement and June 1, 2013. The Company also agrees to provide you with 120 days notice of its intention to terminate your employment for any reason. 

 

	 	3.	You will receive one of the following separation payments should you voluntarily terminate your employment on April 1, 2012, or on April 1, 2013:

  

	 	a)	Voluntary termination of employment April 1, 2012 – 1 times the sum of x plus y, where x equals your then current base salary and y equals your bonus at target
(250% of your base salary); 

  

	 	b)	Voluntary termination of employment April 1, 2013 – 2 times the sum of x plus y, where x equals your then current base salary and y equals your bonus at
target (250% of your base salary). 

 For the avoidance doubt the payments describe in this Section 3 of
the Stay Agreement represent the complete and entire separation payments (with the exception of accrued but unpaid salary and vacation days) that you will receive as a result of your voluntary termination, no additional bonus payment(s) will be made
with respect to the partial period worked during the current fiscal year. You will be eligible for a normal performance bonus for each completed calendar year (2011 and/or 2012) provided you were actively

 
employed for the entire calendar year. These provisions remain in effect until otherwise waived by you or superseded by a new agreement. 

 

	 	4.	If you choose to continue employment beyond April 1, 2013 and waive your rights to voluntarily terminate your employment as described in 3 (b) above, you will
receive a retention bonus in the form of restricted stock equal to $1.3M (or a vehicle of equivalent value), with a grant date of June 1, 2013 with a 3 year cliff vesting provision. 

 

	 	5.	Should your employment be involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for Cause as defined in your Employment Agreement dated July 27, 2007 and as amended
dated December 17, 2008 (“your Employment Agreement”) by the Company prior to April 1, 2013, than in lieu of any payments described in item number 3 above or as provide in Section 8 (a)(ii) of your Employment Agreement you
will receive a severance package equal to, 2 times the sum of x plus y, where x equals your then current base salary and y equals your bonus at target (250% of your base salary). 

 

	 	6.	In return you agree to, until April 1, 2013, waive your rights to claim Good Reason as defined in Section 6 (d)(i),(ii) and (iii) within your Employment
Agreement . Notwithstanding the foregoing, should another corporate transaction result in a Good Reason termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control as defined in your Employment Agreement, this Stay Agreement would become void,
and the contractual terms of your Employment Agreement shall prevail. 

  

	 	7.	Your Employment Agreement with the Company remains in effect pursuant to its current terms, with the exception noted in numbers 2, 3, 5 and 6 above.

  

	 	8.	All separation payments are made in 24 equal monthly installments in accordance with our normal payroll practices. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the board of directors of Alterra Capital Holdings Limited (the “Board”) (or its delegate)
determines in its discretion that such separation payments constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, and that you are a “specified employee” as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations there under, then such severance payments shall commence on the first payroll date of the seventh month following the month in which your separation from service occurs (with the
first such payment being a lump sum equal to the aggregate severance payments you would have received during the prior six-month period if no such delay had been imposed). Each payment made hereunder will be treated as a separate payment for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the right to a series of installment payments is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Further if the Board determines in its discretion that such payments are subject to
Section 457(a) of the Code then any unpaid amounts remaining as of end of the calendar year following the year in which such termination occurs will be paid in full in accordance with Code Section 457(a). 

 

	 	9.	The amount of your separation pay between this Stay Agreement and any such pay from your Employment Agreement will reflect the greater of the two amounts, but not both.

  

	 	10.	You will be subject to the non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions as set-forth in your Employment Agreement for a period of 12 months, commencing upon a
termination of your employment under the terms of this Stay Agreement. 

  

	 	11.	You will be required to sign a release and separation agreement upon a termination of your employment under the terms of this Stay Agreement. 

	 	12.	Except as provided in number 13 below, your unvested restricted share and stock option awards will continue to be subject to the terms of the underlying award
agreements and plans, However if you terminate your employment in accordance with this Stay Agreement then your unvested restricted shares at the time of your termination will continue to vest provide that you adhere to the terms of the Stay
Agreement and the continued vesting provisions of the underlying award agreements (as outlined in the retirement provision of each award agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the enhanced vesting terms as defined in the “Vesting
Waiver” agreement implemented in connection with the Max Harbor Point merger will continue to apply as executed. 

  

	 	13.	The special transaction award approved by the board of directors in conjunction with the Max Harbor Point merger will be forfeited if you voluntarily terminate prior to
vesting unless your termination meets the definition of retirement under the award agreement. 

 Peter, I want to thank you for
all that do and your commitment to Alterra!

 Exhibit 10.81 
 DISCRETIONARY ADVISORY AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made as of the 30 day of December, 2010 between GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Adviser”) and Alterra Bermuda Limited (the
“Client”). 
 WHEREAS, the Adviser and other advisory affiliates (collectively, “Affiliate Advisers”) of
Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) may, subject to applicable law and contract, provide investment advice to clients; 
 WHEREAS, the Client desires to appoint the Adviser as the investment adviser of the portion of the assets of the Client constituting the Account (as defined in Section 4), and the Adviser wishes to
accept such appointment; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, it is covenanted and
agreed as follows: 
 1. Appointment of Investment Adviser; Acceptance of Appointment. The Adviser is hereby appointed as
investment adviser to the Account for the purpose of selecting and executing transactions which are in compliance with the Account’s Investment Guidelines (as defined in Section 2) and the Adviser hereby accepts such appointment. In
performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser may, at its own discretion, delegate any or all of its discretionary investment, advisory and other rights, powers and functions hereunder to any Affiliate Advisers, without further
written consent of the Client, provided that the Adviser shall always remain liable to the Client for its obligations hereunder. References herein to the Adviser shall include, except in Section 20 hereof, any of the Affiliate Advisers to which
the Adviser delegates responsibilities hereunder. 
 2. Discretion; Management of Account and Powers of Adviser.
(a) The Adviser is hereby authorized to supervise and direct the investment and reinvestment of assets in the Account, with full authority and at its discretion (without reference to the Client), on the Client’s behalf and at the
Client’s risk, subject to the written investment restrictions and guidelines (the “Investment Guidelines”) in respect of one or more sub-accounts and attached hereto as Appendix A as may be substituted from time to time at
Client’s discretion. An investment’s compliance with the Investment Guidelines shall be determined on the date of purchase only, based upon the price and characteristics of the investment on the date of purchase compared to the value of
the Account as of the most recent valuation date; the Investment Guidelines shall not be deemed breached as a result of changes in value or status of an investment following purchase. The Adviser’s authority and discretion hereunder shall
include, without limitation, the power to buy, sell, retain and exchange investments and effect transactions; and other powers as the Adviser deems appropriate in relation to investing and executing transactions for the Account. The Client hereby
authorizes the Adviser to open accounts and execute documents, indemnities and representation letters in the name of, binding against and on behalf of the Client for all purposes necessary or desirable in the Adviser’s view to effectuate the
Adviser’s activities under this Agreement. 
 (b) The Client may from time to time amend the Investment Guidelines. The
Adviser will not be bound to follow any amendment to the Investment Guidelines, however, until it has received actual written notice of the amendment from the Client and has agreed to accept such amendment. All transactions effected for the Account
will be deemed to be in compliance with the Investment Guidelines unless written notice to the contrary is received by the Adviser from the Client within 30 days following the first issue of the periodic report containing such transactions.

 (c) The Adviser may in its sole discretion invest the Account in any investment company, unit trust or other collective
investment fund, registered or non-registered, for which the Adviser or any of its affiliates serves as investment adviser (“Affiliated Fund”). The Adviser will make such investments only if in its reasonable view the Affiliated Fund is,
based on yield, safety, charges, nature of investment program, liquidity and other relevant factors, an equivalent investment to competing investments. In connection with investments in Affiliated Fund(s), the Client will pay its share of all fees,
expenses and 12b-1 fees (if any) associated with investing in such Affiliated Fund(s); provided, that the Adviser agrees to waive the advisory fee payable by the Client hereunder for those Account assets invested from time to time in Affiliated
Funds. The Client may revoke its consent to investment in Affiliated Funds at any time by written notice to the Adviser. 
 3.
Portfolio Transactions. (a) The Adviser will place orders for the execution of transactions for the Account in accordance with Part II of the Adviser’s Form ADV as may be amended from time to time. Best price, giving effect to
commissions and commission equivalents, if any, and other transaction costs, is normally an important factor in this decision, but the selection also takes into account the quality of brokerage services, including such factors as execution
capability, willingness to commit capital, creditworthiness and financial stability, and clearance and settlement capability, and the provisions of research and other services. Accordingly, transactions will not always be executed at the lowest
available price or commission. The Adviser may select a broker-dealer that furnishes the Adviser directly or through correspondent relationships with third party research or other services which provide in the Adviser’s view appropriate
assistance to the Adviser in the 

 
investment decision-making process (including with respect to futures, fixed-price offerings and over-the-counter transactions, if such instruments are permitted by the Investment Guidelines).
Such research or other services may include research reports on companies, industries, and securities; economic and financial data; financial publications; computer data bases; quotation equipment and services; and research-oriented computer
hardware, software and other services. These selections, and the total amount of commissions given a particular broker-dealer, may be made pursuant to an agreement that would bind the Adviser to compensate the selected broker-dealer for the services
provided. Research and other services obtained in this manner may be used in servicing any or all of the Adviser’s clients and may be used in connection with accounts other than those that pay commissions to the broker-dealer relating to the
research or other service arrangements. The Adviser may endeavor to direct sufficient commissions to broker-dealers who, pursuant to such arrangements, provide research or other services in order to ensure the continued receipt of research or other
services the Adviser believes is useful in its investment decision-making process. 
 (b) The Client authorizes the Adviser, at
the Adviser’s discretion, to bunch or aggregate orders for the Account with orders of other clients and to allocate the aggregate amount of the investment among accounts (including accounts in which the Adviser, its affiliates and/or their
personnel have beneficial interests) in the manner in which the Adviser shall determine appropriate and may, in accordance with applicable laws or rules of any exchange or regulatory or self-regulatory organization, when placing orders with Goldman
Sachs or with unaffiliated brokers, give permission for Goldman Sachs or such other brokers to trade along with or ahead of the Client order. When portfolio decisions are made on an aggregated basis, the Adviser may in its discretion, place a large
order to purchase or sell a particular security for the Account and the accounts of several other clients. Because of the prevailing trading activity, it is frequently not possible to receive the same price or execution on the entire volume of
securities purchased or sold. When this occurs, the various prices may be averaged and the Account will be charged or credited with the average price; and the effect of the aggregation may operate on some occasions to the Client’s disadvantage.
Although in such an instance the Client will be charged the average price, the Adviser will make the information regarding the actual transactions available to the Client upon the Client’s request. Neither the Adviser nor its affiliates,
however, are required to bunch or aggregate orders, and therefore Client may not receive the average price on any given trade. 

(c) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (d) The Adviser may cause the Client to enter into short-term borrowings to facilitate execution and settlement of transactions in the Account. 

4. Account. The “Account” shall initially consist of the cash and other assets of the Client listed in the schedule of
assets separately furnished in writing to the Adviser by the Client or otherwise delivered by the Client to its Custodian (as hereinafter defined) and notified to the Adviser for management hereunder, plus all investments, reinvestments and proceeds
of the sale thereof, including, without limitation, all interest, dividends and appreciation on investments, less depreciation thereof and withdrawals therefrom, and at the Client’s direction may be comprised of one or more sub-accounts (each a
“Sub-Account”) subject to different Investment Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit A and which may be subject to different fees as set forth in Appendix B. To the extent that the Account is comprised of two or more Sub-Accounts, the
Client acknowledges that the amount of Client assets to be included and managed in each Sub-Account, and the Investment Guidelines applicable thereto, have been prescribed by the Client. The Adviser has no responsibility, unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Investment Guidelines, to allocate assets from one Sub-Account to another or advise the Client regarding any such allocation from time to time. Cash and other assets may, at the Adviser’s discretion, be deemed part of the
Account and the Client shall be responsible for all transactions effected on the basis of such assumption, beginning before immediately available funds (in the case of cash) and Client ownership (in the case of securities) are received by the
Custodian (as defined below) in its account for the Client. The Client consents and acknowledges that securities issued by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates (“GS Securities”) received as original or additional assets
of the account will be sold as soon as practical, unless Client directs the Adviser to retain the GS Securities in writing prior to funding date. Furthermore, Client acknowledges that it is the policy of the Adviser not to give advice with respect
to the purchase, sale, voting or retention of GS Securities. The Client shall provide the Adviser with one day advanced notice of additions to, or withdrawals from, the Account. 

5. Custody. The cash and assets of the Account shall be held by a custodian (the “Custodian”) appointed by the Client
pursuant to a separate custody agreement or by the Client itself. The Adviser and its affiliates shall at no time have custody or physical control of the assets and cash in the Account. The Adviser shall not be liable for any act or omission of the
Custodian. The Client shall instruct the Custodian to act, within the limits of the Adviser’s authority hereunder, in accordance with instructions from the Adviser and shall deposit security within the limits provided hereunder as directed by
the Adviser. The Client shall instruct the Custodian to provide the Adviser with such periodic reports concerning the status of the Account as the Adviser may reasonably request from time to time. The Client will not change the Custodian without
giving the Adviser reasonable prior written notice of its intention to do so together with the name and other relevant information with respect to the new Custodian. The Client authorizes and directs the Custodian to debit its custodial account
maintained for Client for all remuneration and expenses payable hereunder. In such a case, the Adviser will send a statement to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fee to be paid to the Adviser hereunder. The Client agrees that if the
Custodian does not determine whether the Adviser’s fee is properly calculated, it will be the Client’s responsibility to undertake such verification. The Client will arrange 

 
for the Custodian to send to the Client, no less than quarterly, a statement showing all amounts disbursed from the Client’s Custodian account to the Adviser. 

6. Representations and Warranties of the Adviser. The Adviser hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Client that

act or omission or alleged act or omission on the part of the Client or previous advisers or the Custodian or any of their agents; or (ii) arising out of or relating to any demand, charge or claim in respect of an indemnitee’s acts,
omissions, transactions, duties, obligations or responsibilities arising pursuant to this Agreement, unless (y) a court with appropriate jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment which is not subject to appeal that such indemnitee
is liable in respect of the demands, charges and claims referred to in this subparagraph or (z) such indemnitee shall have settled such demands, charges and claims with the Client’s consent. 

9. Directions to the Adviser. All directions by or on behalf of the Client to the Adviser shall be in writing signed either by the
Client or by an authorized agent of the Client or, if by telephone, confirmed in writing. For this purpose, the term in writing, shall include directions given by facsimile. A list of persons authorized to give instructions to the Adviser hereunder
with specimen signatures, is set out in Appendix C to this Agreement. The Client may revise the list of authorized persons from time to time by sending the Adviser a revised list which has been certified either by the Client or by a duly authorized
agent of the Client. The Adviser shall incur no liability whatsoever in relying upon any direction from, or document signed by, any person reasonably believed by it to be authorized to give or sign the same, whether or not the authority of such
person is then effective. The Adviser shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any writing and may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements therein
contained. Directions given by the Client to the Adviser hereunder shall be effective only upon actual receipt by the Adviser and shall be acknowledged by the Adviser through its actions hereunder only, unless the Client is advised by the Adviser
otherwise. 
 10. Reports/Communications. (a) The Adviser shall provide the Client with reports containing the
holdings, valuations and performance of the Account on a monthly basis commencing with an initial valuation of the Account as at the date on which the Adviser commences the provision of discretionary investment management services pursuant to
Section 2.4, or otherwise as the Parties may agree. Performance reporting shall begin as of the business day one full month following the date on which cash or securities are deemed part of the Account or Sub-Account as provided in
Section 4, or on such earlier date in the Adviser’s reasonable discretion. 
 (b) If the Client requests that such
reports be transmitted or made available electronically (subject to the Client complying with such reasonable requirements as to security and confidentiality as the Adviser may impose), the Client acknowledges that such reports may not be encrypted
and it is possible that they may be intercepted, read and/or amended by unauthorized persons and the Adviser cannot be responsible for unauthorized access. 
 In addition, the Client acknowledges and agrees that if the parties agree that instructions or other communications related to this Agreement may be transmitted via the internet or other similar media,
there is no guarantee that such communications will be delivered to the intended recipient promptly, in the correct format or at all. The Client agrees that all risks associated with the transmission of communications via the internet or other
similar media shall be at the Client’s risk and that such communications shall only be deemed to have been delivered upon actual receipt by the intended recipient. If the Client no longer wishes to receive information via the internet or other
similar media, or is unwilling to accept the risks inherent in electronic communication, the Client should contact the Adviser to arrange for another means of supplying the information. 

 
Subject to the preceding, the Client consents to receive (i) Part II of the Adviser’s Form ADV, (ii) the offer letter for Part II of Form ADV, and/or (iii) FINRA Rule 5130
negative consent letters, as applicable, via electronic mail. 
 (c) The Client acknowledges that it has appointed Custodian to
obtain accurate and reliable information concerning the valuation of any securities including derivative instruments which are comprised in the Account. The Adviser is not engaged to provide the official books and records of the Account or the
assets held on the Account’s behalf. Valuation levels for the assets listed in the Account statements and other documents containing prices reflect GSAM’s good faith effort to ascertain fair market levels (including accrued income, if any)
for all positions. The valuation information is believed by GSAM to be reliable for round lot sizes. The prices are indicative only of the assumed fair value of the positions on the relevant date. These valuation levels may not be realized by the
Account upon liquidation. Market conditions and transaction size will affect liquidity and price received upon liquidation. Current exchange rates will be applied in valuing positions in foreign currency. GSAM is not obligated to provide pricing
information to satisfy any regulatory, tax or accounting requirements to which the Client may be subject. 
 11. Exercise of
Membership Rights; Proxies; Tender Offers; Class Actions. Subject to any other written instructions of the Client or as otherwise stated herein, the Adviser is hereby appointed the Client’s agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise in its
discretion all rights and perform all duties which may be exercisable in relation to any assets held or that were held in the Account with respect to the right to vote (or in its discretion, refrain from voting), tender, exchange, endorse, transfer,
or deliver any securities in the Account, to participate in or consent to any distribution, plan of reorganization, creditors committee, merger, combination, consolidation, liquidation, underwriting, or similar plan with reference to such
securities; and to execute and bind the Client and Account in waivers, consents, covenants and indemnifications related thereto. Further, and unless otherwise directed by the Client, Client hereby directs the Adviser to vote all bank stocks and
bank holding company stocks in accordance with the recommendations on any such votes provided by an applicable proxy voting service. Notwithstanding the above, the Client or its Custodian, and not the Adviser, shall make any and all filings in
connection with any securities litigation or class action lawsuits involving securities held or that were held in the Account. Except as may be explicitly provided by applicable law, the Adviser shall not incur any liability to the Client by reason
of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any such discretion and shall not incur any liability for any failure arising from an act or omission of a person other than the Adviser. The Client understands that the Adviser establishes from time to
time guidelines for the voting of proxies and may employ the services of a proxy voting service to exercise proxies in accordance with the Adviser’s guidelines. The Adviser is authorized to hire at the Client’s expense any agents
(including attorneys) the Adviser reasonably deems appropriate in connection with and in order to provide services related to matters set forth in this paragraph and the Client agrees to pay for such agents in addition to the fees set forth in this
Agreement if such fees are at a reasonable market rate 
 12. Non-Assignability. No assignment (as such term is defined
under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940) of this Agreement may be made by either party to the Agreement except with the written consent of the other party; provided that the Client, following the provision of reasonable written notice to the
Advisor, may transfer this Agreement to an affiliate of the Client. The Client will be notified by the Adviser of a change in general partners of the Adviser within a reasonable time thereafter. 

13. Confidential Information. (a) The Adviser and the Client each agree not to disclose each other’s name to the public
or to use each other’s name without the prior written approval of the other party except that the Client hereby consents to the disclosure by the Adviser of the Client’s name to (i) brokers and dealers (including any futures brokers
and futures commission merchants if futures are permitted by the Investment Guidelines) whether executing or clearing to effectuate the Adviser’s trading activities on behalf of the Client, (ii) consultants in connection with the
completion of questionnaires and informational surveys, and (iii) prospective clients of the Adviser as part of a representative client list. The Client agrees and acknowledges that confidential information and advice furnished by the Adviser
to the Client (including without limitation information evidencing the Adviser’s expertise, investment strategies or trading activities) has been developed by the Adviser through the application of methods and standards of judgment and through
the expenditure of considerable work, time and money and is the exclusive and proprietary intellectual property of the Adviser which (i) shall be treated as confidential by the Client, (ii) shall not be used by the Client as the basis for
effecting transactions in any accounts other than the Account, (iii) shall not be used for any purpose other than Client’s, or Client’s consultant’s, analysis of the performance of the Adviser, and (iv) shall not be
disclosed, directly or indirectly, to third parties by the Client except (in the case of (i) through (iv)) with the prior written consent of the Adviser or as required by law. Notwithstanding the above, confidential information may be disclosed
if (i) requested by or through, or related to a judicial, administrative, governmental or self-regulatory organization process, investigation, inquiry or proceeding, or is otherwise legally required, (ii) required in order for each party
to carry out its responsibilities hereunder, or (iii) permitted upon the prior written consent of the other party. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Client (and each of the Client’s employees, representatives or other agents) is authorized to disclose to any person, the US federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of any
transaction or potential transaction in the Client’s Account and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Client relating to that treatment and structure, without the Adviser imposing any
limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For
this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment. 

 14. Remuneration; Expenses. For its discretionary advisory services hereunder, the
Adviser shall be entitled to the fees and terms of payment as set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement. The Adviser may, at its discretion, make payments out of such fees to any affiliate from which the Adviser obtains assistance. Furthermore, the
Client acknowledges and agrees that, if Client has been referred to the Adviser by an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates, the Adviser may, at its discretion, make payments out of such fees directly or indirectly to said employee, and
that such persons may also receive commissions or commission equivalents related to brokerage transactions effected by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates as compensation for such referral or for services provided to the Client in
relation to the Account . Custodial fees, if any, are charged separately by the Custodian for the Account and are not included in Appendix B unless specifically set forth therein. The Client shall be responsible for payment of brokerage commissions,
transfer fees, registration costs, taxes and other similar costs and transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions in the Account as well as any expenses described in Section 11, and the Client hereby authorizes the Adviser
to incur such expenses for the Account. 
 15. Services to Other Clients; Certain Affiliated Activities. (a) The
relationship between the Adviser and the Client is as described in this Agreement and permits, expressly as set forth herein, the Adviser and its affiliates to act in multiple capacities (i.e., act as principal or agent in addition to acting on
behalf of Client), and, subject only to the Adviser’s execution obligations set forth in Section 3 hereof, to effect transactions with or for the Account in instances in which the Adviser and its affiliates may have multiple interests. In
this regard the Client understands that the Adviser is part of a worldwide, full-service investment banking, broker-dealer, asset management organization, and as such, the Adviser and its affiliates (the “Firm”) and their managing
directors, directors, officers and employees (“Personnel”) may have multiple advisory, transactional and financial and other interests in securities, instruments and companies that may be purchased, sold or held by the Adviser for the
Account. The Firm may act as adviser to clients in investment banking, financial advisory, asset management and other capacities in advisory or other assignments of all types included those related to instruments that may be purchased, sold or held
in the Account, and the Firm may issue, or be engaged as underwriter for the issuer of, instruments that the Account may purchase, sell or hold. At times, these activities may cause departments of the Firm to give advice to clients that may cause
these clients to take actions adverse to the interests of the Client. The Firm and Personnel may act in a proprietary capacity with long or short positions, in instruments of all types, including those that the Account may purchase, sell, or hold.
Such activities could affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments that the Adviser seeks to buy or sell for the Account, which could adversely impact the performance of the Account. Personnel may serve as directors of
companies the securities of which the Account may purchase, sell, or hold. The Firm and Personnel may give advice, and take action, with respect to any of the Firm’s clients or proprietary accounts that may differ from the advice given, or may
involve a different timing or nature of action taken, than with respect to any one or all of the Adviser’s advisory accounts, and effect transactions for such clients or proprietary accounts at prices or rates that may be more or less favorable
than for the Account. The Firm and Personnel may obtain and keep any profits, commissions and fees accruing to them in connection with their activities as agent or principal in transactions for the Account and other activities for themselves and
other clients and their own accounts and the Adviser’s fees as set forth in this Agreement shall not be abated thereby. 

(b) The Client understands that the ability of the Adviser and its affiliates to effect and/or recommend transactions may be restricted
by applicable regulatory requirements in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere and/or their internal policies designed to comply with such requirements. As a result, there may be periods when the Adviser will not initiate or recommend
certain types of transactions in certain investments when the Adviser or its affiliates are performing investment banking or other services or when aggregated position limits have been reached and the Client will not be advised of that fact. Without
limitation, when Goldman Sachs or an affiliate is engaged in an underwriting or other distribution of securities of a company, the Adviser may in certain circumstances be prohibited from purchasing or recommending the purchase of certain securities
of that company for its clients. Without limitation, the Adviser and its affiliates may also be prohibited from effecting transactions for the Account with or through its affiliates, from acting as agent for another customer as well as the Client in
respect of a particular transaction, or from acting as the counterparty on a transaction with the Client. If not prohibited, the Adviser is nonetheless not required to effect transactions for the Account with or through its affiliates and other
clients or in instances in which the Adviser or its affiliates have multiple interests. 
 (c) The Client should be aware that
from time to time at the Adviser’s discretion, advisory Personnel may consult with Personnel in proprietary trading or other areas of the Firm or form investment policy committees comprised of such Firm Personnel, and the performance of Firm
Personnel obligations related to their consultation with the Adviser could conflict with their areas of primary responsibility within the Firm. In connection with their activities with the Adviser, such Firm Personnel may receive information
regarding the Adviser’s proposed investment activities which is not generally available to the public. However, there will be no obligation on the part of such Firm Personnel to make available for use by advisory accounts any information or
strategies known to them or developed in connection with their client, proprietary or other activities. In addition, the Firm will be under no obligation to make available any research or analysis prior to its public dissemination. Furthermore, the
Firm shall have no obligation to recommend for purchase or sale by advisory accounts any security that the Firm or Personnel may purchase for themselves or for any other clients. The Firm shall have no obligation to seek to obtain any material
non-public (“inside”) information about any issuer of securities, and will not effect transactions for advisory accounts on the basis of any inside information as may come into its possession. 

 16. Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
until terminated in writing as set forth below. The Adviser or the Client may terminate the Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ written notice without penalty or other additional payment except that the Client will pay the fees of the Adviser
referred to in Section 11 and Section 14 of the Agreement prorated to the date upon which all trades have settled and all positions have been liquidated or otherwise transferred upon order of the Client. Termination of the Adviser’s
discretionary authority hereunder to supervise and direct the investment and reinvestment of assets in the Account shall be effective immediately upon one party’s receipt of written notice of termination from the other party provided that the
Client shall honor any trades entered but not settled before the date of any such termination and that, upon such termination, except as the Client may otherwise direct, the Account will be liquidated by the Adviser in an orderly manner. Sections 6,
7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 17. Notices. (a) Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices shall be deemed duly given when sent in writing to the appropriate party at the addresses appearing at the end of this Agreement for each signatory hereto, or to such other address as shall be
notified in writing by that party to the other party from time to time or, if sent by facsimile transmission, upon transmission. 
 (b) The Client agrees that it will be notified only of trading errors by the Adviser that in the Adviser’s reasonable view, result in a loss as a result of a direct violation of the Investment
Guidelines or fiduciary responsibility but that no other notice of errors is required. 
 18. Entire Agreement; Amendment,
Etc. This Agreement, including the Appendices attached hereto, states the entire agreement of the parties with respect to management of the Account and may not be amended except by a writing signed by the parties. If any provision or any part of
a provision of this Agreement shall be found to be void or unenforceable, it shall not affect the remaining part which shall remain in full force and effect. All terms used but not defined in the Appendices shall have the meaning ascribed to herein.

 19. Effective Date. (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the day and year first written above.

 (b) The Adviser shall commence its discretionary investment management activities, as contemplated under the Agreement, on
the later of the date of (i) execution of this Agreement by each of the parties; (ii) either the receipt by the Adviser of confirmation in writing from the Custodian that cleared funds are available to the Adviser for investment on behalf
of the Client or that assets initially comprising the Account have been delivered to the Custodian and are available for disposition by the Adviser; or (iii) such other date agreed in writing between the Adviser and the Client. 

20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the law of New York. The Client
acknowledges and agrees however that, to the extent that the Adviser delegates power and authority hereunder to an Affiliate Adviser, the laws and regulations applicable to such Affiliate Adviser’s activities will apply to the Affiliate
Adviser’s activities for the Account. Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Client may have, if any, under any applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
duly appointed agents so as to be effective on the day, month and year first above written.
