Restricted Stock Award

The Restricted Period shall lapse on an accelerated basis with respect to all or a portion of your shares of Restricted Stock under the following circumstances:

(a) Except as provided below, if you are employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at the date of a Change in Control, the Restricted Period applicable to all shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse on such date. However, if the Board determines that a transaction (whether or not constituting a Change in Control) constitutes a “merger of equals” or an “acquisition of the Company”, then the Restricted Period shall not lapse upon consummation of such transaction, but shall lapse in accordance with the provisions of (i) or (ii) below, as applicable:

 

  (i) if the Board determines that the transaction constitutes a “merger of equals,” then the Restricted Period shall lapse on the earliest of the following dates, so long as you remain employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the applicable date: (1) the Date Vested as shown on the Restricted Stock Award Letter (the “Vesting Date”); (2) the second anniversary of the consummation of such transaction; or (3) the date of termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, in either case during the two-year period following consummation of such transaction;

 

  (ii) if the Board determines that the transaction constitutes an “acquisition of the Company”, then the Restricted Period shall lapse on the earliest of the following dates, so long as you remain employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the applicable date: (1) the Vesting Date; (2) the first anniversary of the consummation of the transaction; or (3) upon termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, in each case during the one-year period following consummation of such transaction.

(b) In the event of a Public Offering, the Restricted Period applicable to all shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse on the earlier of the Vesting Date or the second anniversary of such Public Offering, in either case so long as you remain employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the applicable date. If, prior to the Vesting Date and within two years following the date of a Public Offering, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason, the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to the following number of shares of Restricted Stock: the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of shares of Restricted Stock and (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed from the date of grant to the date of such termination and the denominator of which is sixty (the number of shares so determined being referred to as the “Pro Rata Vested Shares”).

(c) If, prior to the Vesting Date and under circumstances not described in paragraph (a) or (b) above, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason, the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to a number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Pro Rata Vested Shares.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the restatement of the 2006 Plan effective March 3, 2010, among other things, the definition of the term “Retirement” was modified to mean, generally, the termination by a Participant without Good Reason after the date on which the Participant attains at least age 55 and has been employed by the Company and its Affiliates for at least five years;

Upon termination of your employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates due to Retirement, the Restricted Stock shall continue to vest according to the schedule set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Award Letter as though you were still employed; provided, that, during the period following Retirement and prior to the lapse of the applicable Restriction Period,


you do not enter into any employment, consulting, service or similar arrangements or accept any directorship, in each case with any entity in the insurance or reinsurance industry, that has not been pre-approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.
