Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to be an employee of Company, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

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:

TERMS

1. CAPACITY AND DUTIES

1.1 Employment; Acceptance of Employment. Company hereby employs Executive and Executive hereby agrees to continue employment by Company for the period and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Effective on the date hereof, this Agreement amends and restates the Employment Agreement between Enstar Limited (the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary) and Executive, dated as of April 1, 2014, in its entirety, and the rights and obligations of each party shall be governed by this Agreement.

1.2 Capacity and Duties.

(a) Executive shall serve as Chief Integration Officer of Company. Executive shall perform such duties and shall have such authority consistent with her position as may from time to time be specified by the Chief Executive Officer of Company. Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of Company and her principal place of business shall be Company’s office in Bermuda. It is recognised that extensive travel may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

(b) Executive shall devote her full working time and energy, skill and best efforts to the performance of her duties hereunder, in a manner that will comply with Company’s rules and policies and will faithfully and diligently further the business and interests of Company. Executive shall not be employed by or participate or engage in or in any manner be a part of the management or operation of any business enterprise other than Company without the prior written consent of Company, which consent may be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing shall preclude Executive from


(i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of other corporations or the boards of a reasonable number of trade associations and/or charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable, community and other business affairs, and (iii) managing her personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of her responsibilities and duties hereunder.

2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

2.1 Term. The term of Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the date of this Agreement and end on December 31, 2017, as further extended or unless sooner terminated in accordance with the other provisions hereof (the “Term”). Except as hereinafter provided, on December 31, 2017 and on each subsequent anniversary thereof, the Term shall be automatically extended for one year unless either party shall have given to the other party written notice of termination of this Agreement at least 120 days prior to such anniversary. If written notice of termination is given as provided above, Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the Term.

3. COMPENSATION

3.1 Basic Compensation. As compensation for Executive’s services during the first twelve months of the Term, Company shall pay to Executive a salary at the annual rate of $900,000 payable in periodic installments in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices in effect from time to time. For each subsequent twelve-month period of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive’s salary shall be in the amount of her initial annual salary with such increases, as may be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Company in its discretion. Once increased, Executive’s annual salary cannot be decreased without the written consent of Executive. Executive’s annual salary, as determined in accordance with this Section 3.1, is hereinafter referred to as her “Base Salary.”

3.2 Performance Bonus. Executive shall, following the completion of each fiscal year of Company during the Term, be eligible for a performance bonus in accordance with Company’s performance bonus plan. Executive shall also be eligible for additional equity and other incentive awards, at a level commensurate with her position and in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company.

3.3 Employee Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in such of Company’s employee benefit plans and benefit programs, as may from time to time be provided by Company. In addition, during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(a) a life insurance policy in the amount of five times the Executive’s Base Salary, provided that Executive assists Company in the procurement of such policy (including, without limitation, submitting to any required physical examinations and completing accurately any applicable applications and or questionnaires);

 

- 2 -


(b) fully comprehensive medical and dental coverage on a worldwide basis for the Executive, her spouse and dependents and an annual medical examination for same;

(c) long term disability coverage, including coverage for serious illness, and full compensation paid by Company during the period up to and until Executive begins receiving benefits under such long term disability plan. In the event that the generally applicable group long-term disability plan contains a limitation on benefits that would result in Executive’s being entitled to benefit payments under such plan which are less than 50% of her salary, Company shall provide Executive with an individual disability policy paying a benefit amount that, when coupled with the group policy benefit payable, would provide Executive with aggregate benefits in connection with her long-term disability equal to 50% of such salary (provided that, if an individual policy cannot be obtained for such amount on commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms, Company shall provide Executive with a policy providing for the greatest amount of individual coverage that is available on such standard terms and rates). Provision of any individual disability policy will also be contingent upon Executive being able to be insured at commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms and upon Executive assisting Company in the procurement of such policy (including, without limitation, submitting to any required physical examinations and completing accurately any applicable applications and or questionnaires); and

(d) annual payment from the Company of an amount equal to 10% of Executive’s Base Salary towards Executive’s own pension plan (anticipated to be paid on or before April 1st in respect of the preceding calendar year).

3.4 Vacation. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to a paid vacation of 30 days per year (although for the remainder of 2015 this shall be a number of days equal to the difference between 30 days and the number of paid vacation days Executive has taken prior to the date of this Agreement).

3.5 Expense Reimbursement. Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by her in connection with the performance of her duties hereunder in accordance with its regular reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time.

4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

4.1 Death of Executive. If Executive dies during the Term, and for the year in which Executive dies, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which Executive participates, Company shall pay Executive’s estate an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had she been employed by 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

 

- 3 -


denominator of which is 365. In addition, Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) shall be entitled for a period of 24 months, to continue to receive medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 3.3) at Company’s expense if and to the extent Company was paying for such benefits for Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of Executive’s death.

4.2 Disability. If Executive is or has been materially unable for any reason to perform her duties hereunder for 120 days during any period of 150 consecutive days, Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive at any time during the continuation of such inability, in which event Company shall thereafter be obligated to continue to pay Executive’s Base Salary for a period of 24 months, periodically in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices and, within 30 days of such notice, shall pay any other amounts (including salary, bonuses, expense reimbursement, etc.) that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, Executive under this Agreement as of the date of such termination. The amount of payments to Executive under disability insurance policies paid for by Company shall be credited against and shall reduce the Base Salary otherwise payable by Company following termination of employment. If, for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section, Company achieves the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which Executive participates, Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the bonus that Executive would have received had she been employed by 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. Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive at Company’s expense medical benefits coverage (as described in Section 3.3) for Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) if and to the extent Company was paying for such benefits to Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents at the time of such termination, until the earlier of: (1) a period of 24 months from the date Executive is terminated pursuant to this Section 4.2, or (2) the date Executive begins new employment at an organization offering a comprehensive major medical health plan for Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (regardless of payment policies in effect at such organization).

4.3 Termination for Cause. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate immediately upon notice that the Board of Directors of Company is terminating Executive for Cause (as defined herein), in which event Company shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further payments hereunder other than amounts (including salary, expense reimbursement, etc.) that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, Executive under this Agreement as of the date of such termination. “Cause” shall mean (a) fraud or dishonesty in connection with Executive’s employment that results in a material injury to Company, (b) conviction of any felony or crime involving fraud or misrepresentation or (c) after Executive has received written notice of the specific material and continuing failure of Executive to perform her duties hereunder (other than death or disability) and has failed to cure such failure within 30 days of receipt of the notice, or (d) material and continuing failure to follow reasonable instructions of the Board of Directors after Executive has received at least prior written notice of the specific material and continuing failure to follow instructions and has failed to cure such failure within 30 days of receipt of the notice.

Executive recognizes and agrees that Executive’s duties for the Company may include the preparation of materials, including written or graphic materials for the Company or its affiliate, and that any such materials conceived or written by Executive shall be done within the scope of her employment as a “work made for hire.” Executive agrees that because any such work is a “work made for hire,” the Company (or the relevant affiliate of the Company) will solely retain and own all rights in said materials, including rights of copyright.
