THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of March 9, 2016, is entered into by and between ProSight Specialty Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph Beneducci (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive were parties to an Employment Agreement, dated September 14, 2010 as amended pursuant to the Amendment to Employment Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, the Term of the Employment Agreement expired on September 14, 2015 and the Company currently employs the Executive on an at-will basis;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive wish to reinstate the Employment Agreement as of the end of the prior Term, as amended by this Amendment, as if the Employment Agreement had never been terminated and the Term thereunder had not expired and to treat the Executive as if he had been continuously employed under the Employment Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, as consideration for certain changes in the terms of the Executive’s compensation, including the performance vesting criteria of certain equity awards and the grant of a restricted stock unit, the Company and the Executive agree to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Employment Agreement and other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend the Employment Agreement as follows, effective as of the date hereof.

 

1.1         Section 1.1 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following shall be substituted therefor:

 

“1.1           Term. The Company agrees to continue to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to continue to be employed by the Company, in each case pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing on September 14, 2010 (such date, the “Effective Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the termination of the Executive’s employment in accordance with Section 4 hereof (the “Term”). The Term shall be extended for an additional one year period on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and each subsequent anniversary thereof, absent ninety (90) days advance written notice of non-extension from either party to the other. In the event the Company elects not to extend the Term (other than for Cause), the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated “without Cause” for all purposes under this Employment Agreement on the last day of the Term, and the Executive shall cease to provide services to the Company in the capacity of an employee following such date. If the Executive continues in employment after the expiration of the Term, such employment shall be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time by either party on written notice; provided, that Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall continue to apply to the Executive during such period of at-will employment and after the termination of the Executive’s employment (whether by the Executive or by the Company, for any reason or no reason). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sections 5 and 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue to apply following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason or no reason (including, without limitation, due to the expiration of the Term, a resignation by the Executive or a termination by the Company).”

 

 

 

 

1.2         The first sentence of Section 2.1 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following sentence shall be substituted therefor:

 

“2.1           Salary. As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder during the Term, effective as of September 14, 2015, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an annual rate of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000), payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies (the “Base Salary”).”

 

1.3         Section 2.2 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following shall be substituted therefor:

 

“2.2           Annual Bonus. For each completed calendar year occurring during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus under the Short Term Incentive Program (such bonus, the “Annual Bonus” and such program, the “STIP”).

For the 2017 calendar year and for each calendar year of the Term thereafter, the Executive’s target Annual Bonus opportunity for each such completed calendar year shall be equal to $1,031,250. Any restricted stock units of Parent granted pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be granted pursuant to an agreement that is substantially identical to that certain Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2015, by and between Parent and Executive. The cash portion of the Annual Bonus shall be paid, and the portion of the Annual Bonus payable in restricted stock units of Parent shall be granted, no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Annual Bonus was earned.”
