Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, effective August 5, 2019, by and between James River Group Holdings, Ltd. and Robert P. Myron

Mr. Robert P. Myron

Dear Robert:

The purpose of this letter (this “Agreement”) is to confirm that we have agreed to amend and restate as of August 5, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) our prior agreement (the “Prior Agreement”) with respect to the terms of your continued employment by James River Group Holdings, Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Company”).

In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1.EMPLOYMENT AND TERM. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Company agrees to employ you (the “Executive”) as President and Chief Operating Officer, and Executive hereby accepts such employment on the terms hereinafter set forth. The term of this Agreement shall be two years commencing as of the Effective Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to the termination provisions of Section 6. The term of this Agreement shall thereafter be automatically renewed for additional one year periods unless written notice to the contrary shall be given by either party to the other not less than 60 days prior to the end of the initial or any renewal term that the term shall not thereafter be renewed (“Non-Renewal Notice”), subject to the termination provisions of Section 6. The initial term plus any renewals thereof shall hereafter be referred to as the “Term.”

2.COMPENSATION.

(a)Salary. Commencing as of the Effective Date, Executive shall be paid a base salary at a rate of not less than $650,000 per year, payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.

(b)Bonus and Long-Term Incentive Plan. For each fiscal year during the Term in which Executive is employed by the Company as of the last day of such fiscal year, Executive shall be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus (each, a “Bonus”) in an amount as the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) (other than Executive, if Executive is a member of the Board), in its discretion, may determine based on Executive’s performance during such fiscal year, which Bonus shall be paid on or before March 15 of the subsequent fiscal year. Executive's target cash bonus for each calendar year he is employed through the end of the year will be 100% of his base salary (which, for 2019, is the base salary described in Section 2(a)), provided that the determination of whether Executive will be awarded a cash bonus and the amount of the cash bonus will be determined by the Board in its discretion. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company (“LTIP”) in effect from time to time. For long term incentive equity grants, Executive will have a target equity grant equivalent in value to 100% of his base salary for each calendar year he is employed through the end of the year, provided that the determination of whether Executive will be awarded an LTIP equity award and the amount of the award will be determined by the Board in its discretion. Options to acquire common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company will be valued using a Black Scholes valuation model, and restricted share units (“RSUs”) of the Company will be valued based upon the closing price of the Company’s publicly traded Shares on the day of the grant.

(c)Vacation, Benefits. Executive shall also be entitled, during the Term to participate in all employee benefit plans and other fringe benefits or plans (including certain services and utilities) of the Company generally available to executive employees of the Company Group or generally available to the Company’s Bermuda-based executive employees, at the Company’s expense, including:

(i)a total of six weeks of paid vacation per annum (not subject to carry over to subsequent years);

(ii)tax equalization payments pursuant to the Company’s tax equalization policies (“Tax Equalization Policies”), provided that such tax equalization payments shall be made no later than the end of the second

calendar year after the year in which the Executive’s income tax return is required to be filed (including any extensions) for the year to which the compensation subject to the tax equalization payment relates, or, if later, the second calendar year beginning after the latest year in which the Executive’s foreign tax return or payment is required to be filed or made for the year to which the compensation subject to the tax equalization payment relates, and further provided that if the right to such tax equalization proceeds arises as a result of audit, litigation, or similar proceeding, such tax equalization payments are scheduled and made in accordance with the tax gross-up payment provisions of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(i)(v); and

(iii)business expense reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

(d)Housing Expense. Company shall reimburse Executive for up to $12,500 per month for Executive’s “Housing Expense.” For purposes of this provision, “Housing Expense” means either (a) if Executive purchases a single family residence (or condominium unit) in Bermuda and lives there during the Term (a “Residence”), the scheduled monthly mortgage principle, interest payment, and property tax payments paid by Executive for such Residence for each month during the Term in which Executive resides in the Residence for the entire month, provided that the term of the mortgage is at least 15 years at prevailing interest rates and that Executive provides a copy of the mortgage and any other documentation relating to such purchase or mortgage payments as requested by the Company, or (b) the rent paid by Executive for a residence in Bermuda for each month during the Term in which Executive resides in such residence for the entire month, provided that Executive provides a copy of the lease and any other documentation relating to such rent payments as requested by the Company. Such Housing Expense reimbursement payments will be made by the end of the month following the month in which documentation of the mortgage or rent payment is provided to the Company.

(e)Reimbursements. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (including under Sections 2(c)(iii) and 2(d)) during any tax year of Executive shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other tax year. The right to reimbursement provided in this Agreement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In no event shall the reimbursement of an eligible expense under this Agreement occur later than the earlier of (i) six months from the date of incurrence and (ii) the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such expense was incurred.

(f)Chartered Aircraft. The Company hereby agrees that at his election, Executive may travel on chartered aircraft in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder. The Company further agrees that the Executive may continue to charter planes for business travel as is reasonably necessary to efficiently carry out his duties.

(g)Claw-Back. Executive acknowledges that to the extent required by applicable law or written company policy adopted by the Board to implement the requirements of such law (including without limitation Section 304 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd Frank Act), any bonus and other incentive compensation (if any) shall be subject to any clawback, forfeiture, recoupment or similar requirement (“Clawback Rights”) as the Board may determine in its sole discretion is necessary or desirable to implement such law or policy. Holdings may only exercise Clawback Rights with respect to any bonus and other incentive compensation received during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which Holdings is required to prepare an accounting restatement and, if applicable, any transition period resulting from a change in fiscal year within or immediately following the three completed fiscal years.

(h)Withholdings and Deductions. All payments and compensation under this Agreement shall be subject to all required withholdings and deductions, and such deductions as Executive may instruct the Company to take that are authorized by applicable law.

3.DUTIES.

Executive shall report directly to the CEO. Executive will devote his entire working time, attention, and energies to carrying out and fulfilling his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. Executive agrees to abide by all policies applicable to employees of the Company Group adopted by the Board.

6.TERMINATION. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances:

(a)Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the employment of Executive for Cause at any time by providing written notice to Executive specifying the cause of the termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means that: (i) Executive willfully violated Sections 4 or 5 of this Agreement; (ii) Executive

In the event that the Company provides written notice of termination for Cause pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) or (vi), Executive shall be entitled to cure any alleged neglect of his duties or Insubordination, to the extent curable, within 30 days of receiving written notice from the Company specifying the factual basis for its belief that Executive grossly neglected his duties hereunder or engaged in Insubordination. If Executive is terminated for Cause, Executive’s compensation shall terminate on the date of such termination, and all Company stock options, whether vested or unvested at that time, shall be immediately forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of such termination.

(i)A material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or requiring Executive to report directly to a person or persons other than the CEO, provided, however, that Executive’s ceasing to be a member of the Board for any reason shall not constitute Good Reason;

(ii)A material diminution in Executive’s base salary;

(iii)The Company’s requiring Executive to be based at any office or location more than 35 miles from either Sudbury, Massachusetts, Hamilton, Bermuda, Raleigh, North Carolina, or Richmond, Virginia; or

Executive must deliver a Good Reason Notice within 30 calendar days after the initial existence of a Good Reason condition, and, if the Company fails to timely cure such Good Reason condition, Executive must terminate his employment within one year after the initial existence of such Good Reason condition, and any failure by Executive to timely comply with either of these requirements shall constitute a waiver of Executive’s right to resign for Good Reason for such condition.

(d)Termination due to Death or Disability. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment if he is prevented from performing his responsibilities under this Agreement because of “Disability.” A “Disability” means that Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident or disability insurance benefit plan covering Company employees (“Disability Plan”). If Executive is unable to perform his responsibilities, by reason of any accident, illness, or mental, or physical impairment, for a period that is reasonably anticipated by the Company to be longer than the waiting period in the Disability Plan, then, at the Company’s request, Executive shall promptly apply for such income replacement benefits.

(e)Expiration of Term. If (i) Executive delivers a timely Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1 (whether or not the Company has timely delivered a timely Non-Renewal Notice), (ii) Executive continues in employment with the Company through the last day of the Term, and (iii) the parties have not executed a written

agreement applicable to Executive’s employment after the expiration of the Term, then Executive’s employment shall terminate on the last day of the Term.

7.COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION.

(a)If, during the Term, the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, there is a Company Non-Renewal Termination, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then:

(ii)within 45 days following the Termination Date, the Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to the Termination Date;

(iii)any accrued but unpaid Tax Equalization Policy obligations of the Company shall be paid in accordance with such policy; and

(1)a gross amount equal to (x) Executive’s base salary in effect on the Termination Date divided by (y) 12, per month, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings, for a period of 36 months after the Termination Date, which shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect as of the Termination Date commencing on the first payroll cycle which is at least 45 days after the Termination Date, unless such payments are required to be delayed pursuant to Section 8 below;

(2)the continuation of coverage under all employee benefit insurance plans in which Executive was a participant as of the Termination Date, to the extent such post-employment coverage is authorized by such plans, at the Company’s expense for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, provided, however if post-employment coverage is not authorized under the Company’s health insurance plan, then the Company will pay Executive the premium cost for health insurance coverage that the Company would have paid if Executive had continued being a participant in the Company’s health insurance plan during such twelve month period, and such amount shall be paid at the time such premiums would have been paid if Executive had continued being a participant in the Company’s health insurance plan during such twelve month period; and

(3)any unpaid discretionary bonus awarded to Executive for the year prior to the year in which the Termination Date occurs, which shall be paid in a lump sum on the normal bonus payment date.

(v)In the event that Executive fails to execute the Release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to Section 7(a)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Release could become effective during the calendar year following the calendar year of the Termination Date, then no such payments that constitute “deferred compensation” under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A shall be made earlier than the first day of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Termination Date.

(b)If Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of death or by the Company for Cause or because of Disability, or if a termination of employment occurs as a result of Executive’s delivering a timely Non-Renewal Notice:

(i)within ten days following the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Obligations;

In addition to these remedies, the Company shall have all other remedies provided by this Agreement and by law for the breach of Sections 4 or 5 above.

(d)For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Date” means the date of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).”

(e)Executive’s rights with respect to the vesting and exercise of Company stock options after the Termination Date for any termination of employment other than a termination for Cause shall be governed by option agreements between Executive and the Company and the Incentive Plan.

8.409A COMPLIANCE. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements Section 409A and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A). Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” under the Company’s specified employee policy as in effect on the Termination Date, or if no such policy is then in effect, within the meaning of Section 409A, any payment required to be made to Executive hereunder upon or following the Termination Date shall be delayed until after the six-month anniversary of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A) to the extent necessary to comply with, and avoid imposition on Executive of any additional tax, interest, or penalty imposed under, Section 409A. Should payments be delayed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the accumulated payment that would have been made but for the period of the delay shall be paid in a single lump sum during the ten-day period following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date. Each payroll period payment described in Section 7(a)(iv)(1) shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character; involve access to and development of Confidential Information and Privileged Information; involve developing and protecting customer relationships and goodwill; and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services and that, by reason thereof, Executive agrees and consents that if he violates any of the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, the Company, in addition to any other rights and remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise, shall be entitled to an injunction to be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction restricting Executive from committing or continuing any violation of Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement.

10.FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 4 and 5 above are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interest of the Company Group, in view of, among other things, the short duration of the restrictions; the narrow scope of the restrictions; the Company Group’s interests in protecting its trade secrets, Confidential Information, and Privileged Information (which Executive agrees would be useful to competitors for more than 18 months) and its customer relationships and goodwill; Executive’s background and capabilities which will allow him to seek and accept employment without violation of the restrictions; Executive’s opportunity to acquire a substantial equity interest in the Company through the award of restricted stock and stock options and other equity based awards; and Executive’s entitlements under this Agreement. If any provision contained in Sections 4 or 5 above is adjudged unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator in any proceeding, then such provision shall be deemed modified as provided in Sections 4 or 5 above or by reducing the scope of such provision, the period of time during which such provision is applicable and/or the geographic area to which such provision applies, to the extent necessary for such provision to be adjudged reasonable and enforceable.

11.NOTICES.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the differences between this Agreement and the Prior Agreement, including without limitation the reduction in Executive’s base salary and changes in Executive’s title, responsibilities and reporting relationship, do not constitute Good Reason under the Prior Agreement or this Agreement. This Agreement may not be rescinded, modified, or amended, unless an amendment is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and by the Chairman of the Board or an officer of the Company specifically authorized by the Board (other than Executive), and any waiver shall be set forth in writing and signed by the party to be charged. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability, by statute, court decision, or otherwise, of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or condition hereof.

15.GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of Bermuda, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law which might otherwise apply.

16.ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive, and any purported assignment by Executive shall be null and void.

Such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules (formal or informal) of the American Arbitration Association in as expedited a manner as is then permitted by such rules (the “Arbitration”). Both the foregoing agreement of the parties to arbitrate any and all such claims, and the results, determination, finding, judgment, and/or award rendered through such Arbitration, shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and may be specifically enforced by legal proceedings.
