(iii) The Applicable Issuing Party shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Applicable Issuing Party would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(iv) The Applicable Issuing Party shall not be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Applicable Issuing Party would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(v) The L/C Administrator shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Several Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the documents associated thereto and each Fronting Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank hereunder and the documents associated therewith, and each of the L/C Administrator and each Fronting Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent inArticle IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Administrator or a Fronting Bank, as the case may be, in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used inArticle IX included the L/C Administrator and the Fronting Banks with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Administrator and the Fronting Banks.

(vi) If an L/C Applicant so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable Issuing Party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Applicable Issuing Party to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Applicable Issuing Party, the applicable L/C Applicant shall not be required to make a specific request to the Applicable Issuing Party for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Applicable Issuing Party to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;provided,however, that the Applicable Issuing Party shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Applicable Issuing Party has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (i) or (ii) ofSection 2.03(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the applicable L/C Applicant that it does not wish to have such Letter of Credit extended, (2) from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (3) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified inSection 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Applicable Issuing Party not to permit such extension.

(vii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Applicable Issuing Party will also deliver to the applicable L/C Applicant and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit (a “Drawing Request”), the Applicable Issuing Party shall notify the applicable L/C Applicant and the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such Drawing Request and of the date the Applicable Issuing Party will honor such request (each such date, an “Honor Date”). Not later than 11:00 a.m. on such Honor Date in the case of Letters of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars or the Applicable Time on the Honor Date with respect to Letters of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Applicant shall reimburse the respective L/C Issuers through the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds the amount of the Drawing Request. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Applicant shall reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank through the Administrative Agent in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the applicable Fronting Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars,

33

such L/C Applicant shall have notified the applicable Fronting Bank promptly following receipt of notice of drawing that such L/C Applicant will reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable L/C Applicant of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. To the extent that Same Day Funds are received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable L/C Applicant prior to 11:00 a.m. (or the Applicable Time in the case of any Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency) on the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable Issuing Party. Any notice given by the Applicable Issuing Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to thisSection 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) With respect to any Drawing Request, if Same Day Funds are not received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable L/C Applicant prior to 11:00 a.m. (or the Applicable Time in the case of any Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency) on the Honor Date in the amount of such Drawing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Drawing Request, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount. If such Unreimbursed Amount relates to a Letter of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency, such Unreimbursed Amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent (as calculated by the Administrative Agent using the Spot Rate) of the Drawing Request. Each Lender shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable Issuing Party at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (the “L/C Advance Date”). The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable Issuing Party. To the extent that Same Day Funds are received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders (or the Fronting Bank on behalf of a Participating Bank) with respect to a Several Letter of Credit prior to 2:00 p.m. on the L/C Advance Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the L/C Administrator and the L/C Administrator shall promptly make such funds available to the beneficiary of such Several Letter of Credit on such date. To the extent that the L/C Administrator has not delivered funds to any beneficiary of a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of a Lender on the L/C Advance Date, if Same Day Funds are received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender: (i) after 2:00 p.m. on the L/C Advance Date, the L/C Administrator shall make such funds available to such beneficiary on the next Business Day; (ii) prior to 2:00 p.m. on any Business Day after the L/C Advance Date, the L/C Administrator shall make those funds available to such beneficiary on such Business Day; and (iii) after 2:00 p.m. on any Business Day after the L/C Advance Date, the L/C Administrator shall make those funds available to such beneficiary on the next Business Day following such Business Day.

(iii) Unless the Administrative Agent or L/C Administrator receives notice from a Lender prior to any L/C Advance Date with respect to a Several Letter of Credit

34

that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s L/C Advance on such L/C Advance Date, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Administrator may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds on the L/C Advance Date and the L/C Administrator may (but shall not be required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the beneficiary of the related Several Letter of Credit on such date such Lender’s L/C Advance.

(iv) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount, the applicable L/C Applicant shall be deemed to have incurred an L/C Advance in the Dollar Equivalent of the Unreimbursed Amount from (x) in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, the issuing Fronting Bank and (y) in the case of Several Letters of Credit, from the Lenders to the extent that they have provided funds with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(ii), from the Fronting Bank to the extent it has made funds available on behalf of a Participating Bank or from the L/C Administrator to the extent it has made funds available on behalf of a Lender pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(iii). L/C Advances shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Each Lender’s or Participating Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Fronting Bank pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(ii)shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Advance and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under thisSection 2.03. Any payment by an L/C Applicant in respect of such L/C Advance shall be made to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance withSection 2.03(d).

(v) Until each Lender funds its L/C Advance pursuant to thisSection 2.03(c) to reimburse a Fronting Bank (or the L/C Administrator pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(iii)) for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator, as applicable.

(vi) Each Lender’s obligation to make L/C Advances to reimburse the relevant issuing Fronting Bank (or the L/C Administrator pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(iii)) for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by thisSection 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank, the L/C Administrator, any Lender, any L/C Applicant, any beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferring may be acting) or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (C) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (D) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (E) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, (F) any matter or event set forth inSection 2.03(b)(i), or (G) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such

35

making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable L/C Applicant to reimburse the respective L/C Issuers for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuers under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of thisSection 2.03(c) by the time specified in the third sentence ofSection 2.03(c)(ii), such Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of such Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator, as the case may be, submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after a Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance withSection 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable L/C Applicant or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant toSection 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described inSection 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Obligations Absolute.The obligation of each L/C Applicant to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such L/C Applicant and to repay each related L/C Advance shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

36

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Investment Entity may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Applicable Issuing Party, any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the Applicable Issuing Party under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Applicable Issuing Party under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the applicable L/C Applicant or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Investment Entity.

Each L/C Applicant shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such L/C Applicant’s instructions or other irregularity, such L/C Applicant will promptly notify the Applicable Issuing Party. Such L/C Applicant shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Applicable Issuing Party and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of Applicable Issuing Party.Each Lender and each L/C Applicant agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Party shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and

37

documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Applicable Issuing Parties, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an Applicable Issuing Party shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each L/C Applicant hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;provided,however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such L/C Applicant from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Applicable Issuing Parties, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an Applicable Issuing Party shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) ofSection 2.03(e);provided,however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the applicable L/C Applicant may have a claim against the Applicable Issuing Party and/or the Lenders, and the Applicable Issuing Party and/or the Lenders may be liable to such L/C Applicant to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such L/C Applicant which such L/C Applicant proves were caused by the Applicable Issuing Party’s or a Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Applicable Issuing Party’s or a Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Applicable Issuing Party may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Applicable Issuing Party shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Applicable Issuing Party, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation of an L/C Applicant for any reason remains outstanding, such L/C Applicant shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize all L/C Obligations of such L/C Applicant to the extent such L/C Applicant has not already provided Collateral.

(ii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies Harbor Point Re at any time that the Total Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations with respect to Alternative Currency denominated Letters of Credit at such time exceeds 103% of the Alternative Currency LC Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, Harbor Point Re shall or, if permitted under applicable law, shall cause the applicable L/C Applicant to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations of such L/C Applicant in an amount equal to such excess;provided, that in the case of an L/C

38

Applicant who has provided Collateral pursuant to a Security Agreement, such L/C Applicant may satisfy its obligation under thisSubsection 2.03(g)(ii) by posting additional Eligible Collateral having an Adjusted Fair Market Value equal to such excess. Upon the request of Harbor Point Re made within two Business Days following any Revaluation Date, the Administrative Agent will, so long as no Default then exists, release Cash Collateral to Harbor Point Re or the applicable L/C Applicant, as the case may be, in an amount up to the excess of (x) the aggregate amount of Cash Collateral on deposit with respect to Alternative Currency denominated Letters of Creditover (y) 103% of the Alternative Currency L/C Sublimit then in effect.

(iii) The Administrative Agent or the Applicable Issuing Party may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant toclause (ii) above, request additional Cash Collateral to the extent the amount of Cash Collateral with respect to Alternative Currency denominated Letters of Credit is less than the positive difference between the Total Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations for Alternative Currency denominated Letters of Credit and 103% of the Alternative Currency LC Sublimit due to exchange rate fluctuations.

(iv)Section 8.02(c) sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of thisSection 2.03 andSection 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Each L/C Applicant providing cash collateral hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein provided by such L/C Applicant and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked collateral accounts at Bank of America, and the Administrative Agent will, at the request of Harbor Point Re, invest any funds on deposit from time to time in any such collateral account in Cash Equivalents having a maturity not exceeding 30 days (and funds earned on such Cash Equivalents shall be deposited into such collateral account).

(h)Applicability of ISP and UCP.Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Applicable Issuing Party and the applicable L/C Applicant when a Letter of Credit is issued either the rules of the ISP or the UCP at the option of such L/C Applicant shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

Each L/C Applicant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage in Dollars, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such L/C Applicant equal to the Applicable Ratetimes the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance withSection 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees

39

shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.

(j)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges.

(i) Each L/C Applicant shall pay directly to each Fronting Bank for its own account in Dollars a fronting fee with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit issued for the account of such L/C Applicant by such Fronting Bank, at the rate per annum specified in the Arranger Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable at such times (no more frequently than quarterly) as each Fronting Bank advises such L/C Applicant, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand, it being understood that each Fronting Bank will invoice each L/C Applicant directly for amounts due under thisSection 2.03(j). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance withSection 1.07. In addition, each L/C Applicant shall pay directly to the Applicable Issuing Party for its own account letter of credit processing fees as set forth in the Arranger Fee Letter. Such fees are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

Unless otherwise agreed between such Participating Bank, the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Fronting Fee shall be paid by reducing the Letter of Credit Fee otherwise payable to such Participating Bank by an amount equal to the Several L/C Fronting Fee and paying the same to the Fronting Bank.

All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject toSection 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.10Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business in which it shall record the amount of each Loan made, the Type and the Interest Period thereof and the amount of repayments thereon. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of a Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to its Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to insubsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in

43

Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.11Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance withSection 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required bySection 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

44

(ii)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under thissubsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of thisArticle II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth inArticle IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund Several Letters of Credit and purchase participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant toSection 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any Several Letter of Credit or any such participation or to make any payment underSection 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to fund a Several Letter of Credit, to purchase its participation or to make its payment underSection 11.04(c).

(e)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any L/C Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any L/C Advance in any particular place or manner.

2.12Sharing of Payments by Lenders.If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans or L/C Advances made by it or the participations in L/C Obligations

45

resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or L/C Advances or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Total Outstanding Amount and other amounts owing them,provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.13Increase in Commitments.

(a)Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Parent may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $150,000,000;provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (ii) the Parent may make a maximum of three such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Parent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Such request shall include any proposed increase of the Loan Sublimit.

(b)Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

46

(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Parent may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d)Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained inArticle V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists. In the event of any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section, (x) the Borrowers shall prepay their respective Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant toSection 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section and (y) all outstanding Several Letters of Credit shall be amended or returned and reissued to give effect to any revised Applicable Percentages. The Administrative Agent and the Parent will cooperate, to the extent feasible, to set the Increase Effective Date on a date which minimizes or eliminates the obligation of the Borrowers to pay additional amounts underSection 3.05.

(f)Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions inSection 2.12 or11.01 to the contrary.

2.14Designated Borrower.

(a) The Parent may designate any additional Subsidiary (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to request Letters of Credit and receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form ofExhibit H (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”) at least 15 Business Days (or, in the case of HPRe US, seven Business Days) prior to the proposed date specified in such Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement (the “Designated Date”) on which such Applicant Borrower is requested to become a Designated Borrower (or, in each case, such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole

47

discretion). Promptly following its receipt of a Designated Request and Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender and such Lender shall, not later than the Designated Date specified therein, notify the Administrative Agent whether such Lender consents to such Applicant Borrower becoming a Designated Borrower (and, if such Lender so consents, whether such Lender agrees that such Applicant Borrower will be entitled to request Loans). Each Lender agrees that it consents to the designation of HPRe US as a Designated Borrower entitled to request Loans and Letters of Credit. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower (including HPRe US) becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the conditions set forth inSection 4.02(e) shall be satisfied and, except for HPRe US, the Required Lenders (or, if such Applicant Borrower will be entitled to request Loans, all of the Lenders) shall have agreed that such Applicant Borrower may become a Designated Borrower.

(b) Promptly following receipt of the necessary consents and satisfaction of the conditions set forth inSection 4.02(e), the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form ofExhibit I (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Parent and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the applicable Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to request Letters of Credit and subject to receipt of consent from all the Lenders, request Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement;provided that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after the applicable Designated Date.

(c) Each Subsidiary that becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to thisSection 2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans, if any, made by the Lenders, to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Parent, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(d) The Parent may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice from the Parent to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by or Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans or Letters of Credit made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

48

2.15Several Obligations of Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the obligations of each Borrower shall be several in nature, it being understood that no Borrower that is an Insurance Subsidiary (other than Harbor Point Re as expressly provided herein) shall be liable for the obligations of any other Borrower.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the respective Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes except as required by applicable law,provided that if a Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Fronting Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions ofsubsection (a) above, the respective Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes attributable to such Borrower’s Obligations to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Fronting Bank, within 15 Business Days after demand therefor made on such Borrower, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, with respect to such Borrower’s Obligations and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (provided that such penalties, interests and expenses are not attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person making such demand), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such amount delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender or a Fronting Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, a Fronting Bank or the L/C Administrator, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority with respect to

49

such Borrower’s Obligations, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Fronting Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax (which is otherwise indemnified for by a Borrower pursuant to thisSection 3.01) with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall deliver to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Administrative Agent, Lender and Fronting Bank, if requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender and each Fronting Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof (a “Non-US Person”) shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-US Person becomes a party to this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party and certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes;

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Non-US Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest undersection 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-US Person is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from United States Federal withholding Tax, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

50

In addition, each Non-US Person shall deliver, but only to the extent legally entitled to do so, to the Parent and the Administrative Agent, upon the reasonable request of the Parent, in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient, further copies of any such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or such other form, certificate or supplementary documentation prescribed by applicable law, in each case claiming an exemption from or reduction United States Federal withholding Tax, on or before the date that any such previously provided form, certificate or supplementary documentation expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event rendering invalid the most recent such form, certificate or supplementary documentation previously delivered by it to the recipient.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a Fronting Bank determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund which shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding parenthetical),provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties (other than any penalties attributable to gross negligence of or fraud or willful misconduct by such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment), interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Fronting Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to such Borrower or any other Person.

3.02Illegality.If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice by the Parent, the Parent shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), cause each applicable Borrower to prepay or, if applicable, convert all its Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, each applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

51

3.03Inability to Determine Rates.If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan , or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated bySection 3.04(e)) or a Fronting Bank;

(ii) subject any Lender or a Fronting Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or a Fronting Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered bySection 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Fronting Bank); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or a Fronting Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Fronting Bank, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered with respect to such Borrower’s Obligations.

52

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or a Fronting Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Fronting Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank or such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Fronting Bank or such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Administrator’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Fronting Bank or such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered with respect to such Borrower’s Obligations.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or a Fronting Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts (and the basis for such amount or amounts) necessary to compensate such Lender or such Fronting Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified inSubsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as the determination of such amount or amounts is made by such Lender or Fronting Bank in good faith and is applied to the Borrowers in a non-discriminatory manner as compared to similarly situated borrowers. Each Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due from such Borrower on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or a Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s right to demand such compensation,provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Fronting Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrower with respect to its Loans shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such

53

Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,provided such Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, each Borrower with respect to its Loans shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Parent pursuant toSection 11.13 provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to any Defaulting Lender;

including any loss of anticipated profits for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) and any actual loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Each Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to the Lenders under thisSection 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders or Fronting Banks.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 3.04, or a Borrower is required to pay any indemnity or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant toSection 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant toSection 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant toSection 3.01 or3.04, as the case may be, in the

54

future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant toSection 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Parent hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 3.04, or if a Borrower is required to pay any indemnity or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant toSection 3.01, the Parent may replace such Lender in accordance withSection 11.13.

(c)Replacement of Fronting Bank. If any Fronting Bank requests compensation underSection 3.04 or is entitled not to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant toSection 2.03(b)(ii) or if a Borrower is required to pay any indemnity or additional amount to any Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Fronting Bank pursuant toSection 3.01, or such Fronting Bank ceases to be an NAIC Approved Bank, the Parent may request that such Fronting Bank resign as a Fronting Bank hereunder and the Parent may designate a new Lender as a Fronting Bank in accordance withSection 11.06(h).

3.07Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under thisArticle III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03Exculpatory Provisions.The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided inSections 11.01 and8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or a Fronting Bank.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Administrator, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Fronting Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Fronting Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the Parent’s prior approval (except during the existence of an Event of Default) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Fronting Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until

81

such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Fronting Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

9.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

9.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Administrator, the Fronting Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Administrator, the Fronting Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Administrator and the Administrative Agent underSections 2.03(i) and(j),2.09 and11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

PARENT GUARANTEE

10.01Unconditional Guarantee. For valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Fronting Banks and each Lender to make Loans to and Issue Letters of Credit (or purchase participations therein) for the account of each Guaranteed Borrower and to induce the Administrative Agent to act hereunder, the Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Lender, each Fronting Bank and the

83

Administrative Agent the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Guaranteed Borrowers, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent or now existing or hereafter arising (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by each Guaranteed Borrower to the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any other Lender under this Agreement but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Guaranteed Borrower or its Affiliates. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection merely.

10.02Guarantee Absolute. The Parent guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. The Obligations of the Parent under thisArticle X are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Parent to enforce thisArticle X, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Guaranteed Borrower or whether any Guaranteed Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Parent under this guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Parent hereby irrevocably waives any defense it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement (other than thisArticle X);

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Guaranteed Borrower or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Guaranteed Borrower or any of its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Guaranteed Borrower under this Agreement; or

(e) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Parent or any Guaranteed Borrower (other than a discharge arising from the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

This guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender, the Fronting Banks or the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Parent or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

84

10.03Waivers. The Parent hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for payment, protest, any requirement that any right or power be exhausted or any action be taken against any of the Guaranteed Borrowers or against any other guarantor of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, and all other notices and demands whatsoever.

(a) The Parent hereby waives any right to revoke this guaranty, and acknowledges that this guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future and regardless of whether Guaranteed Obligations are reduced to zero at any time or from time to time (other than a reduction to zero due to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations concurrently with or after the termination of all Commitments).

(b) The Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waivers set forth in thisArticle X are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

10.04Subrogation. The Parent will not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any of the Guaranteed Borrowers or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks or any other Lender against any of the Guaranteed Borrowers or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any of the Guaranteed Borrowers or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the other Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising.

10.05Survival. This guaranty is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit, (b) be binding upon the Parent and its successors and assigns, (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Lender (including each assignee Lender pursuant toSection 11.06), the Fronting Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns and (d) shall be reinstated if at any time any payment to a Lender, a Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent

85

hereunder is required to be restored by such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoingclause (c), any transferee of any interest in any Loan or Commitment of a Lender pursuant toSection 11.06 shall become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.

10.06Severability. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisArticle X to the contrary, in the event that any action is brought seeking to invalidate the Parent’s obligations under thisArticle X under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer theory, the Parent shall be liable under thisArticle X only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by the Parent under any guarantee of the Obligations of the Guaranteed Borrowers (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of the Parent’s obligations under thisArticle X for fraudulent conveyance or transfer purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (the “Maximum Guaranteed Obligations”) and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of the Guaranteed Obligations had instead been the Maximum Guaranteed Obligations.

ARTICLE XI.

SCHEDULE 1.01

REGULATORY MATTERS

For over a year, there has been an industry-wide investigation into the use of non-traditional or “finite” insurance and reinsurance products. A number of insurance and reinsurance companies, including The Chubb Corporation (“Chubb”), from whom the Company purchased certain assets (including the continuing operations and certain assets of Chubb Re), have been subpoenaed in connection with these investigations.

In connection with the purchase of these assets by the Company, Chubb provided the Company with disclosure an excerpt of which is copied below (the “Chubb Disclosure”), and has declined to provide any additional information concerning the matters described in such disclosure:

“On November 24, 2004 and November 29, 2004, respectively, Chubb received subpoenas from the New York State Attorney General’s Office (“NYAGO”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requesting information regarding its marketing, or purchase for its own account, of “non-traditional” or finite risk products, including finite reinsurance. The subpoenas broadly defined the products subject to the subpoenas as including products that could be or were used to affect the timing or amount of revenue or expense recognized in any particular reporting period. The subpoenas appear to be part of a broad investigation into industry practices concerning certain “non-traditional” and finite reinsurance products, as numerous other companies in our industry have received subpoenas and requests for information from the SEC and NYAGO related to these industry practices. Chubb was thereafter served with subpoenas and requests for information from various other state, federal and foreign agencies and regulators, including a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which covered substantially the same matters as the NYAGO and SEC subpoenas. Chubb has retained a nationally recognized law firm to represent it and its subsidiaries in connection with these subpoenas and the government investigations.

Chubb is cooperating fully with the government investigations. In response to these subpoenas, Chubb has produced to date over 7 million pages of hard copy and electronic documents. The vast majority of these documents are from the files of Chubb Re and relate to finite reinsurance transactions involving Chubb Re. Chubb’s document production in response to these subpoenas is ongoing. In addition, in response to the subpoenas and requests for information, Chubb and its counsel have met with the SEC and NYAGO to discuss the relevant Chubb Re transactions.

Further, Chubb has engaged a respected outside financial expert to conduct an independent investigation into Chubb’s sale of finite risk products. This independent investigation, which is ongoing, includes interviews of selected Chubb Re personnel and review of certain Chubb Re non-traditional and finite reinsurance transactions. At this point in time, Chubb cannot predict the outcome of this internal investigation or the impact on Chubb Re’s business, management or financial results.”

Sched. 1.01 - 1

Chubb expressly disclaimed any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Chubb Disclosure and, in connection with the capitalization of the Company, each investor was asked to acknowledge, and has acknowledged, such disclaimer and has agreed pursuant to its subscription agreement not to sue Chubb, the Company, Stone Point Capital, Trident III and certain other persons in respect of the matters described above.

The Company has confirmed that none of the former Chubb executive officers currently employed with the Company (the “Former Chubb Re Executives Officers”) has received any subpoena or Wells Notice in connection with the matters described in the Chubb Disclosure and that the Company has not assumed, and, subject to certain limitations, has been indemnified by Chubb with respect to, the liabilities of Chubb and its affiliates, including Chubb Re, in connection with the matters described in the Chubb Disclosure. Except for such confirmation, (i) the Company will not provide any other information, and will not make any representation, warranty or covenant concerning the matters described in the Chubb Disclosure and (ii) the Company has expressly disclaimed any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Chubb Disclosure or the other disclosure set forth herein and has expressly disclaimed any duty to update such disclosure.

The government investigations could result in additional subpoenas, interrogatories or other investigative demands or inquiries directed at either the Company or the Former Chubb Re Executives Officers. Any such developments, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to comply with and could divert management resources and attention. The government investigations could result in industry-wide changes in the reinsurance business, which could be adverse and costly to the Company, or could result in specific monetary, regulatory and other sanctions against the Company or the Former Chubb Re Executives Officers. Any of the foregoing developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, management or financial results. In addition, the government investigations could result in a settlement or enforcement action, which could result in litigation, monetary penalties or fines, or non-monetary undertakings (such as enhanced compliance programs), any of which could be costly and burdensome to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, management or financial results. However, the aforementioned investigations are still ongoing and, at this point in time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigations or the impact on the Company’s business, management or financial results.

The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to retain the services of its key personnel, including its executive officers. Although the outcome of the investigations is uncertain, it is possible that any sanctions imposed could include a ban on one or more of the Former Chubb Re Executives Officers from serving as an employee of the Company and could damage their reputation as well as the reputation of the Company. The loss of the services of any of its executive officers, either as a result of the ongoing government investigations or otherwise, and the damage to the reputation of the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, management or financial results.
