(iv)    If such termination is a Retirement, subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof, (A) any Awards that are stock options and that have been held by Executive for at least one year at the time of Retirement (1) and that are unvested at the date of Executive’s termination shall continue to vest as if Executive had remained employed through the applicable vesting period, and (2) shall remain outstanding until the earliest of (x) exercise, (y) the expiration of the original term, and (z) the second anniversary of the later of the date of Executive’s termination and the actual vesting date, and (B) any Awards that as of their date of grant were subject to both service- and performance-based vesting requirements shall remain outstanding through the last day of the applicable performance period, without regard for the termination of Executive’s employment, and shall vest (or fail to vest and be forfeited) based on the level of actual attainment of performance goals at such time or times as would have been the case had the service vesting provisions continued to apply and Executive remained employed through all applicable service vesting period; provided, however, the eligibility for continued vesting based on performance shall immediately cease, and all Awards shall be forfeited, in the event that Executive violates any provision of the restrictive covenants set forth herein.

In the event of termination of Executive’s employment under this Section 8(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of Executive’s termination and still have it treated as a termination by Executive without Good Reason (and as a Retirement if applicable).

Following termination of Executive’s employment by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(f), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement, and Executive shall have no further obligations to the Company, except as set forth in Sections 8(j), 9, 10, 12(c) and 13 hereof.

(g)    Expiration of the Term of Employment following a Non-Extension Notice by the Company. Upon the timely delivery of a Non-Extension Notice by the Company to Executive, Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the close of business of the last day of the Term of Employment. Upon such expiration of the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(d) above for a termination without Cause, it being agreed that Executive’s right to any such payments and benefits shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as described in Section 8(d) above. Following termination of

Executive’s employment upon expiration of the Term of Employment following a Non-Extension Notice by the Company, except as set forth in this Section 8(g), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(h)    Expiration of the Term of Employment following a Non-Extension Notice by Executive. Upon the timely delivery of a Non-Extension Notice by Executive to the Company, Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the close of business of the last day of the Term of Employment. Upon such expiration of the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)    The Accrued Obligations;

(ii)    The Applicable Severance Benefits, payable (x) as to seventy-five percent (75%) thereof in substantially equal installments over the Restricted Period, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and (y) as to twenty-five percent (25%) thereof, subject to Executive’s compliance during the Restricted Period with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in a lump sum upon the expiration of such period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the payment schedule set forth above, that portion of the Applicable Severance Benefits remaining unpaid as of December 31, 2017, following such termination shall be paid to Executive, subject to Section 8(m) below, in a lump sum on December 31, 2017; provided further, however, that Executive shall not be entitled to any amounts pursuant to this Section 8(h)(ii) to the extent Executive received any benefits pursuant to Section 8(l) below prior to such termination;

(iii)    Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination, such amount to be paid at the same time it would have otherwise been paid to Executive had no such termination occurred, but in no event later than two and one-half (2½) months following the end of the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates; and

(iv)    To the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan and without penalty to the Company, continuation of the health benefits provided to Executive and Executive’s covered dependents under the Company health plans as of the date of such termination at the same cost applicable to active employees until the earlier of: (1) the expiration of the Severance Term, and (2) the date Executive commences employment with any Person, in each case, subject to Executive’s compliance during the Severance Term with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that, in the event that Executive is eligible for COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s health plans as of the date of such termination, provision of the benefit described in this subsection (iv) shall be subject to Executive’s timely election of, and remaining eligible for, such coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide such continued health benefits under applicable law or the terms and conditions of the applicable plan without incurring financial costs or penalties or that the Company is otherwise unable to provide such continued health benefits on commercially reasonable terms and premiums therefor, then the Company shall, in lieu of the benefit described in this subsection (iv), provide to

Following termination of Executive’s employment upon expiration of the Term of Employment following a Non-Extension Notice by Executive, except as set forth in this Section 8(h), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(i)    Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may require that, prior to payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations), Executive and the Company shall have executed mutual general releases in the form as is reasonably agreed to by the Company and Executive, and any waiting periods contained in such release shall have expired. Such release, if required by the Company, shall be delivered to Executive within ten (10) business days following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, and the Company’s failure to deliver such release to Executive within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute a waiver of such requirement. Assuming a timely delivery of the release by the Company, if Executive fails to execute such release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any case where the date of Executive’s termination and the Release Expiration Date fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Executive that are treated as deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in the later taxable year. For purposes of this Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” means the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers to Executive the release contemplated herein, or in the event that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the U.S. Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date.

(j)    Post-Termination Cooperation. Following any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to assist with existing or future investigations, proceedings, litigations or examinations involving the Company or any Affiliates. For each day, or part thereof, that Executive provides assistance to the Company as contemplated hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to (x) divided by (y), where (x) equals the sum of Base Salary and target Annual Bonus as in effect on the date of Executive’s termination of employment, and (y) equals two hundred (200). In addition, upon presentment of satisfactory documentation, the Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket travel, lodging and other incidental expenses Executive incurs in providing such assistance. Executive shall not be required to travel to Bermuda to provide any assistance contemplated hereunder, but if requested by the Company, shall make reasonable good faith efforts to travel to such locations as the Company may reasonably request.

(k)    Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Executive has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Executive on the schedule set forth in this Section 8 as if Executive had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of Executive’s ultimate “separation from service.”

(l)    Accelerated Payment of Applicable Severance Benefits. To the extent Executive has not suffered a termination of employment prior to December 31, 2017, Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Applicable Severance Benefits, payable in a lump sum on December 31, 2017; provided, however, that to the extent Executive ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or is terminated by the Company for Cause, in either case following the date on which Executive receives the Applicable Severance Benefits pursuant to this Section 8(l), Executive shall repay to the Company an amount equal to the Applicable Severance Benefits.

(m)    Prepayment of Certain Severance Benefits. During each calendar year, but ending upon Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall receive a payment (each such payment, a “Prepaid Severance Installment”) equal to the amount, if any, by which Executive’s Base Salary as in effect as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Prior Year”) exceeded Executive’s Base Salary as in effect as of the end of the calendar year immediately preceding the Prior Year; provided, however, that to the extent Executive ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or is terminated by the Company for Cause (each case, a “Repayment Trigger”), Executive shall repay to the Company an amount equal to all Prior Prepaid Severance Installments and all Prepaid Severance Installments received, if any, prior to the occurrence of such Repayment Trigger. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to the payment of any Prepaid Severance Installment(s) in respect of a given year or year(s), Executive suffers a termination of employment as a result of which Executive becomes entitled to payment of the Applicable Severance Benefits (or would have become entitled to the Applicable Severance Benefits but for the operation of Section 8(l) above), such then-unpaid Prepaid Severance Installment(s) shall be paid to Executive upon such termination.

(n)    Clawback of Applicable Severance Benefits. To the extent (x) all or any portion of the payment to Executive of the Applicable Severance Benefits is accelerated to December 31, 2017, pursuant to the provision set forth in Section 8(b)(iii), (d)(iii), (f)(ii), or (h)(ii), as applicable (including to the extent payable by cross-reference to any of such provisions) (the “Accelerated Severance Amount”), and (y) subsequent to December 31, 2017, and during the Restricted Period Executive ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive shall repay to the Company an amount equal to the Accelerated Severance Amount.

(o)    Offset. In the event Executive is required to repay any amounts to the Company pursuant to Section 8(l), (m), or (n), the Company may offset such amounts against any monies owed to Executive or Executive’s estate following the date on which such obligation to repay arises, except to the extent such offset is not permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of additional taxes or penalties on Executive.

Section 9.    Restrictive Covenants.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that (A) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 9 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of the Company’s business and assets, and (B) by Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will obtain knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience, and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment. For purposes of this Section 9, references to the Company shall be deemed to include its Affiliates.

(a)    Confidential Information. Except as directed or authorized by the Company, Executive agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after the Term of Employment, make use of or divulge to any other Person any trade or business secret, process, method or means, or any other confidential information concerning the business or policies of the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or Affiliates (whether or not recorded in documentary form, or stored on any magnetic or optical disk or memory or other object) that Executive may have learned in connection with Executive’s employment hereunder and that Executive knows to be confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”). Executive’s obligation under this Section 9(a) shall not apply to any information that (i) is known publicly without the fault of Executive; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the public domain without the fault of Executive; (iii) is known to Executive prior to Executive’s receipt of such information from the Company, as evidenced by written records of Executive; or (iv) is hereafter disclosed to Executive by a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the Company. Executive agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company, except as an employee of the Company in pursuit of the business of the Company or except as specifically permitted by the Company, any document or other object containing or reflecting any such Confidential Information. Executive recognizes that all such documents and objects, whether developed by Executive or by someone else, will be the sole exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall forthwith deliver to the Company all such Confidential Information, including without limitation all lists of customers, correspondence, accounts, records and any other documents or property made or held by Executive or under Executive’s control in relation to the business or affairs of the Company or its divisions, subsidiaries or Affiliates, and no copy of any such Confidential Information shall be retained by Executive.

(b)    Whistleblower; Defending Trade Secrets Act Disclosure.

(iii)    In addition, Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to

(iv)    Executive understands that the U.S. Defending Trade Secrets Act provides that Executive may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a U.S. Federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In the event that Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company, any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or its affiliates for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(c)    Non-Competition. Executive covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any services for any Person (other than the Company), that engages in any Competitive Activities within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 9(c) shall not prevent Executive from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of any publicly held corporation or from being a passive investor in any mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity fund or similar pooled account so long as Executive’s interest therein is less than three percent (3%) and Executive has no role in selecting or managing investments thereof.

(d)    Non-Interference. During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive’s own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities.

(e)    Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of the Company of any nature and in whatever medium, and Executive shall not take with Executive any such property, documents or data, or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.

(f)    Works for Hire. Executive agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar laws, which Executive may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the Term of Employment, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed

business or research and development activities of the Company; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with Company personnel (collectively referred to as “Developments”). Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments. Executive agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense (but for no other consideration of any kind), to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Executive’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. In addition, and not in contravention of any of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101). To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights.” To the extent Executive retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Executive hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Executive will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.

(g)    Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 9 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 9 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size.

Section 10.    Breach of Restrictive Covenants.

Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 9 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its Affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 9 hereof, restraining Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 9 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 9 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 9(c) or (d) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce such covenants against Executive or another Person with whom Executive is affiliated if it is ultimately determined that Executive was in breach of such covenants.

Section 11.    Representations and Warranties of Executive.

(a)    Executive’s employment will not conflict with or result in Executive’s breach of any agreement to which Executive is a party or otherwise may be bound;

(b)    Executive has not violated, and in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which Executive is or may be bound; and

(c)    In connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not use any confidential or proprietary information that Executive may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer.

Section 12.    Indemnification

(a)    Indemnification. The Company shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Executive to the fullest extent permitted by Bermuda law, as currently in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, costs, interest or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) that may be incurred or suffered by Executive in connection with or arising out of Executive’s service with the Company or its Affiliates (whether prior to or following the date hereof), subject only to the provisions of subsection (b) below.

(b)    Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. No indemnification shall be made under this Section 12 in respect of the following:

(v)    Losses relating to the disgorgement remedy contemplated by Section 16 of the Exchange Act;

(vi)    Losses arising out of a knowing violation by Executive of a material provision of this Section 12 or any other agreement to which Executive is a party with the Company or its Affiliates; and

(vii)    Losses arising out of a final, nonappealable conviction of Executive by a court of competent jurisdiction for a knowing violation of criminal law.

(c)    Prepayment of Expenses. Unless Executive otherwise elects via written notice to the Company, expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation of Executive’s good faith belief

that Executive’s conduct does not constitute the sort of behavior that would preclude Executive’s indemnification under this Section 12 and Executive furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on Executive’s behalf, to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Section 12.

(d)    Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 12 shall continue during the period in which Executive is employed by the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Executive shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that Executive was employed by the Company.

(e)    Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and prepayment of expenses provided by this Section 12 are in addition to and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which Executive may be entitled under the Company’s Memorandum of Association, the Company’s Bye-Laws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, Bermuda law, any other law (common or statutory) or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or Executive against any expense, liability or loss incurred by it or Executive, whether or not Executive would be indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Section 12; provided, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 12 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Executive has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. In the event the Company makes any indemnification payments to Executive and Executive is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, Executive shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

Section 13.    Taxes.

Section 14.    Mitigation; Set-Off.

The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or its Affiliates. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except as provided in Sections 8(b)(v), 8(d)(vi), 8(f)(iii), 8(h)(iv) and 8(o) hereof, the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Executive’s other employment or otherwise.

Section 15.    Delay in Payment; Section 409A of the Code.

Section 16.    Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a)    The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets or any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise). The Company will require in a writing delivered to Executive any such purchaser, successor or assignee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such purchase, succession or assignment had taken place. The Company may make no other assignment of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder.

(b)    Executive. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.

(c)    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 16(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company, its Affiliates, and Executive any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 17.    Waiver and Amendments.

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to by the Company (or, if required, the Compensation Committee). No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any

Section 18.    Severability.

Section 19.    Governing Law.

Section 20.    Notices.

(a)    Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided, that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by Executive to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to Executive may be given to Executive personally or may be mailed to Executive at Executive’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records.

(b)    Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery, (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first (1st) business day following the date of such mailing, (iii) if mailed by registered or certified mail, on the third (3rd) business day after the date of such mailing, or (iv) if transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail, on the date of such transmission.

Section 21.    Section Headings.

Section 22.    Entire Agreement.

Section 23.    Survival of Operative Sections.

Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, the provisions of Section 8 through Section 24 of this Agreement (together with any related definitions set forth in Section 1 hereof) shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof.
