Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement, dated February 4, 2022, by and between Enstar (US), Inc. and David Ni

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is dated and effective as of February 4, 2022 (the “Amendment Date”), between Enstar (US) Inc. (the “Company”) David Ni (“Executive”) and amends the Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive that was effective as of July 1, 2019 (the “Current Employment Agreement”).

Whereas, the Company and Executive have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Current Employment Agreement as set forth in this amendment (the “Amendment”); and

Whereas, other than to the extent expressly amended herein, the terms and conditions of the Current Agreement remain in full force and effect. Collectively, the Current Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitute the conditions of Executive’s employment.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A.    Reporting Line. Section 2(a) of the Current Agreement shall be amended to replace the two references to “Enstar’s President” with the words “Enstar’s Chief Executive Officer.”

B.    Base Salary. Section 2(b)(i) of the Current Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(i)    Base Salary. Effective as of January 1, 2022, Executive shall receive a base salary (“Base Salary”), at an annualized rate of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices (the Company currently has 26 pay periods in a year) and subject to statutory payroll deductions and withholdings. The Company shall make a true-up payment or payments as soon as practicable through payroll to reflect the retroactive date of the Base Salary increase. Executive acknowledges that he is an exempt employee and, accordingly, that he is not entitled to overtime pay regardless of the number of hours required to complete his duties hereunder. The Base Salary of Executive will be reviewed from time to time in accordance with the established procedures of the Company for adjusting salaries for similarly situated employees and may be increased in the sole discretion of the Company. The Company’s annual salary review is conducted prior to April 30th of each year. Executive will first be eligible for a merit increase, if any, no later than April 30, 2023.”

C.    Equity Incentives. Section 2(b)(iii)(B) of the Current Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows, and new Section 2(b)(iii)(C) shall be added as follows:

“(B)    During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Enstar long-term incentive program in effect from time to time at a level commensurate with his position and in accordance with the policies and practices of Enstar. The program is administered by the Enstar Compensation Committee and subject to its discretionary review and approval each year, therefore Enstar can only provide guidance that it expects your eligibility for future awards, beginning in 2022, to be based on one hundred (100%) of Base Salary annually, with the awards expected to be comprised of a combination of RSUs and PSUs, in the proportion established by the Enstar Compensation Committee.

        (C)    Subject to the execution of an applicable award agreement, Executive shall be granted a retention equity incentive award not later than five (5) business days from the signing of this Amendment with a grant date fair value equal to three million dollars ($3,000,000). The retention equity incentive award shall consist of 100% RSUs and shall be scheduled to “cliff” vest in its entirety on the three-year (3 year) anniversary of the grant date; the RSUs shall be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of Enstar’s Equity Incentive Plan and approved forms of RSU award agreements.”

(a)    Termination without Cause by the Company. Section 5(b) of the Current Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(b)    Termination without Cause by the Company. The Company may unilaterally terminate the employment of Executive at any time without Cause, as defined in Section 7, upon written notice. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, then upon Executive’s signing (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement containing a plenary release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (a “Release”), Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all earned compensation through his Termination Date: (i) salary continuation at his then-current Base Salary for the greater of (A) twelve (12) months after the Termination Date or (B) the number of pay periods required by the Company’s Severance Pay Plan (the “Severance Payments”) and (ii) if, for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section, the Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which he participates, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the bonus that he would have received had he been employed by the Company for the full year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in such year and the denominator of which is 365. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Severance Payments not yet paid by March 15 of the calendar year following the Termination Date shall be paid in a lump sum on such March 15 or the first business day prior thereto. Upon a termination without Cause, Executive’s unvested long-term incentive awards will operate in accordance with the terms of their respective award agreements and governing equity plans.”

D.    Termination by Executive. The first sentence of Section 6 of the Current Agreement shall be amended by replacing the reference to “three (3) months advance written notice” with the words “six (6) months advance written notice.”

E.    Restrictive Covenants. Section 10 of the Current Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 “10.     Restrictive Covenants.

(a)    Non-Solicitation. During the term of his employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately after the date his employment terminates for any reason, Executive agrees that Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (i) call upon, solicit, divert, or take away any of the clients, business, or business partners of the Company, or request or cause any of the above to abandon, cancel or terminate any part of their relationship with Enstar, or (ii) solicit, entice, or attempt to persuade any employee, agent, consultant, or independent contractor of Enstar to leave the service of such company for any reason or take any other action that may cause any such individual to terminate his relationship with Enstar.

Save as may be required as aforesaid, Enstar shall not, and shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that its and its affiliates’ officers and directors do not do or

say anything adverse or harmful to, or otherwise disparaging of, Executive and his goodwill; provided that no action by either party in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder shall be construed as a violation of this Section 10(c).
