Employee shall not be required to travel to Bermuda to provide any assistance contemplated hereunder, but if requested by the Company, shall make reasonable good faith efforts to travel to such locations as the Company may reasonably request.

(k)Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Employee has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Employee on the schedule set forth in this Section 7 as if Employee had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of Employee’s ultimate “separation from service.”

Employee acknowledges and agrees that (A) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 8 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of the Company’s business and assets, and (B) by Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will obtain knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience, and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment. For purposes of this Section 8, references to the Company shall be deemed to include its Affiliates.

(a)Confidential Information. Except as directed or authorized by the Company, Employee agrees that Employee will not, at any time during or after the Term of Employment, make use of or divulge to any other Person any trade or business secret, process, method or means, or any other confidential information concerning the business or policies of the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or Affiliates (whether or not recorded in documentary form, or stored on any magnetic or optical disk or memory or other object) that Employee may have learned in connection with Employee’s employment hereunder and that Employee knows to be confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”). Employee’s obligation under this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any information that (i) is known publicly without the fault of Employee; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the public domain without the fault of Employee; (iii) is known to Employee prior to Employee’s receipt of such information from the Company, as evidenced by written records of Employee; or (iv) is hereafter disclosed to Employee by a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the Company. Employee agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company, except as an employee of the Company in pursuit of the business of the Company or except as specifically permitted by the Company, any document or other object containing or reflecting any such Confidential Information. Employee recognizes that all such documents and objects, whether developed by Employee or by someone else, will be the sole exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, Employee shall forthwith deliver to the Company all such Confidential Information, including without limitation all lists of customers, correspondence, accounts, records and any other documents or property made or held by Employee or under Employee’s control in relation to the business or affairs of the Company or its divisions, subsidiaries or Affiliates, and no copy of any such Confidential Information shall be retained by Employee.

(b)Whistleblower; Defending Trade Secrets Act Disclosure.

(i)In addition, Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or regulatory body or making other disclosures that are protected under any law or regulation, or from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any governmental agency or regulatory body.

(ii)Employee understands that the U.S. Defending Trade Secrets Act provides that Employee may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a U.S. Federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In the event that Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by Parent, any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or its affiliates for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the trade secret to Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding,

if Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(c)Non-Competition. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any services for any Person (other than the Company), that engages in any Competitive Activities within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 8(c) shall not prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of any publicly held corporation or from being a passive investor in any mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity fund or similar pooled account so long as Employee’s interest therein is less than three percent (3%) and Employee has no role in selecting or managing investments thereof.

(d)Non-Interference. During the Non-Interference Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for Employee’s own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities.

(e)Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of the Company of any nature and in whatever medium, and Employee shall not take with Employee any such property, documents or data, or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.

(f)Works for Hire. Employee agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the Term of Employment, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development activities of the Company; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with Company personnel (collectively referred to as “Developments”). Employee hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense (but for no other consideration of any kind), to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. In addition, and not in contravention of any of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101). To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights.” To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Employee will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.

(g)Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 8 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 8 shall nevertheless stand, and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size.

Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 8 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its Affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 8 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 8 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 8 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, both the Non-Competition Period and the Non-Interference Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 8(c) or (d) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee or another Person with whom Employee is affiliated if it is ultimately determined that Employee was in breach of such covenants.

Employee represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)Employee’s employment will not conflict with or result in Employee’s breach of any agreement to which Employee is a party or otherwise may be bound;

(b)Employee has not violated, and in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which Employee is or may be bound; and

(c)In connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will not use any confidential or proprietary information that Employee may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer.

(a)Indemnification. The Company shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Employee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as currently in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, costs, interest or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) that may be incurred or suffered by Employee in connection with or arising out of Employee’s service with the Company or its Affiliates (whether prior to or following the date hereof), subject only to the provisions of subsection (b) below.

(b)Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. No indemnification shall be made under this Section 11 in respect of the following:

(i)Losses relating to the disgorgement remedy contemplated by Section 16 of the Exchange Act;

(ii)Losses arising out of a knowing violation by Employee of a material provision of this Section 11 or any other agreement to which Employee is a party with the Company or its Affiliates; and

(iii)Losses arising out of a final, nonappealable conviction of Employee by a court of competent jurisdiction for a knowing violation of criminal law.

Moreover, the Company shall not effect any advances, or advance any costs, relating to any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Employee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board, or as may be approved or ordered by a competent tribunal.

(c)Prepayment of Expenses. Unless Employee otherwise elects via written notice to the Company, expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation of Employee’s good faith belief that Employee’s conduct does not constitute the sort of behavior that would preclude Employee’s indemnification under this Section 11 and Employee furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on Employee’s behalf, to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Section 11.

(d)Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 11 shall continue during the period in which Employee is employed by the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Employee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that Employee was employed by the Company.

(e)Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and prepayment of expenses provided by this Section 11 are in addition to and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which Employee may be entitled under the Company’s or Parent’s organizational documents, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, Bermuda law, any other law (common or statutory) or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or Employee against any expense, liability or loss incurred by it or Employee, whether or not Employee would be indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Section 11; provided, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 11 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Employee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. In the event the Company makes any indemnification payments to Employee and Employee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, Employee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law.

The Company’s obligation to pay Employee the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Employee to the Company or its Affiliates. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except as provided in Sections 7(b)(vi), 7(d)(vi), 7(f)(iii) and 7(h)(iv) hereof, the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Employee’s other employment or otherwise.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Employee at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. On the earliest date on which such payments can be made without violating the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, there shall be paid to Employee, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguous provisions hereof will be construed in a manner that is compliant with the application of Section 409A of the Code. If a provision of this Agreement would result in the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree that such provision shall be reformed to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code to avoid imposition of the additional tax, with such reformation effected in a manner that has the most favorable tax result to Employee. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment or amount due under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment, and Employee’s entitlement to a series of payments under this Agreement is to be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments.

(a)The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets or any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise). The Company will require in a writing delivered to Employee any such purchaser, successor or assignee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such purchase, succession or assignment had taken place. The Company may make no other assignment of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder.

(b)Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate.

(c)No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 15(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to

give any Person other than the Company, its Affiliates, and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to by the Company. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

If any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF BERMUDA (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH COUNTRY.

(a)Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided, that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by Employee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to Employee may be given to Employee personally or may be mailed to Employee at Employee’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records.

(b)Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery, (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first (1st) business day following the date of such mailing, (iii) if mailed by registered or certified mail, on the third (3rd) business day after the date of such mailing, or (iv) if transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail, on the date of such transmission.

The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof.

This Agreement, together with that certain Statement of Employment and Global Transfer Letter, dated as of March 22, 2017 and March 31, 2017 between the Employee and RenaissanceRe Services Ltd., constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding the employment of Employee following the Commencement Date. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Upon any termination of Employee’s employment, the provisions of Section 7 through Section 23 of this Agreement (together with any related definitions set forth in Section 1 hereof) shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
