(a) The Participant shall not be entitled to receive payment for the value of Restricted Share Units until vested;

(b) The Company shall not issue any certificates representing Restricted Share Units granted to Participants, and the grant of Restricted Share Units to Participants shall not entitle such Participants to any rights of a holder of Shares, including the right to vote; provided, however, that the Participant shall receive Dividend Equivalents in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement; and

(b) If the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, all unvested Restricted Share Units shall be forfeited on the date of such termination of employment.

5. Dividend Equivalents.    If a cash dividend is declared on the Shares, the Participant shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the number of Restricted Share Units held by the Participant as of the dividend record date, multiplied by the amount of the cash dividend per Share. Dividend Equivalents shall be denominated in cash and paid in cash if and when the underlying Restricted Share Units vest. Dividend Equivalents denominated in cash shall not accrue interest during the period of restriction.

6. Payment.    Payment for the value of the Participant’s Restricted Share Units shall be made to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s beneficiary, or, in the event that no beneficiary shall have been designated, the Participant’s estate) as soon as practicable following the date on which such Restricted Share Units vest, but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Share Units vest. Restricted Share Units shall be paid in Shares, less any Shares withheld in accordance with the provisions of Section 8, with one (1) Share paid for each Unit.

The Participant hereby consents to such action as the Committee or the Company deems necessary or appropriate from time to time to prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or to implement the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to placing restrictive legends on certificates evidencing Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement and delivering stop transfer instructions to the Company’s stock transfer agent.

12. Arbitration.    In the event of any controversy between the Participant and the Company arising out of, or relating to, the Plan or this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, by a single independent arbitrator.

Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.

16. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.    The failure of either party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

17. Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of Bermuda, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

18. Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall represent one and the same agreement.
