3.    ISSUANCE OF AWARD UNITS.
Subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company during the Period of Restriction, the Company shall deliver to the Participant promptly following the close of the Period of Restriction the Award Units. In the event that the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to close of the Period of Restriction (except as described in Section 2(i)(b) or 2(i)(c)), the Award will immediately terminate and the Company will have no further obligation or liability to the Participant. Subject to Section 4, any Award Units issued to the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company as to such Units.
4.    RESTRICTIONS, VOTING RIGHTS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.
(a)    Restrictions. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated at any time.
(b)    Voting Rights. Prior to the delivery of Award Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units (or the Award Units) and, except as provided in Section 4(c), shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the Award Units.
(c)    Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be paid to the Participant with respect to the Award Units during the Period of Restriction as determined from time to time by the Committee. Any dividend equivalents paid with respect to the Award Units during the Period of Restriction will be held by the Company, or a depository appointed by the Committee, for the Participant's account, and interest may be paid on the amount of cash dividend equivalents held at a rate and subject to such terms as may be determined by the Committee. All cash or share dividend equivalents so held, and any interest so paid, shall be payable at the same time as the Award Units are delivered as set forth in Section 3 and shall be forfeited and shall not be paid in the event the Award is terminated as set forth in Section 3.
(d)    Leaves of Absence.     For any purpose under this Agreement, employment shall be deemed to continue while the Participant is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of employment for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).
5.    RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a)    Transfer Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Units under the Plan have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or otherwise, the Company, in its sole discretion, may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Award Units (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the

3

 

Company's Bye-Laws, the Securities Act, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the securities laws of any country or state or any other applicable law, rule or regulation.
(b)    Legends. All certificates evidencing Award Units issued under this Agreement shall bear such restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable by the Company under the provisions of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including to reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject under any applicable securities laws). If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Award Units issued under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Units but without such legend.
6.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a)    Bye-Laws. All Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to any applicable restrictions contained in the Company's Bye-Laws.
(b)    No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue employment for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause.
(c)    Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon delivery by hand, upon delivery by reputable express courier or, if the recipient is located in the United States, upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Participant at the address that he or she most recently provided in writing to the Company.
(d)    Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Bermuda.
(e)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(f)    Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified by the Committee; provided that any amendment or modification that would adversely affect the Participant’s rights with respect to the Award must be made by written agreement executed by the parties hereto; and provided, that the adjustments permitted pursuant to Sections 4(b) and 7(c) of the Plan may be made without such written agreement.
(g)    Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining

4

 

provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
(h)    Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant) until the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code) and (ii) if any other payments or other benefits due to the Participant hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Committee, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 6(h) in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to the Participant with respect to this Section 6(h).
(i)    Recoupment Policy. The Award is subject in all respects to the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor policy thereto.
