Article V.

Settlement

Interim settlement

(i)

Where Flectat has received from the trustees of its Premiums Trust Fund an amount representing an interim profit of Flectat in respect of its participation as a member of the Syndicate for the 2012 underwriting year of account and the Reinsured receives from Flectat (pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Flectat LLQS) an ‘Interim Settlement Amount’ (as defined in the 2012 Flectat LLQS), the Reinsured shall pay to the Reinsurer an amount by way of interim settlement (“CBL/OSIL Interim Settlement Amount”), reasonably determined by the Reinsurer to be attributable to the business reinsured under this Treaty of the amount of the ‘Interim Settlement Amount’ (as defined in the 2012 Flectat LLQS). If the CBL/OSIL Interim Settlement Amount (or the aggregate of all CBL/OSIL Interim Settlement Amounts, if more than one) paid to the Reinsurer as provided in this paragraph exceeds the amount due to the Reinsurer (before taking account of the CBL/OSIL Interim Settlement Amount(s) paid to the Reinsurer) as shown in the statement of account prepared by or on behalf of the Reinsurer as referred to in paragraph (iii)a below, the Reinsurer shall, forthwith upon providing to the Reinsured such statement of account, pay to the Reinsured an amount equal to the excess.

Final settlement

(ii)

When Syndicate 4444 as constituted for the 2012 underwriting year of account is closed by RITC (such RITC to extend, for the avoidance of doubt, to liabilities assumed by the members of Syndicate 4444 as constituted for the 2012 underwriting year of account by way of RITC of a Lloyd’s syndicate as constituted for the 2011 or any prior underwriting year of account), settlement between the parties shall be made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (iii) below.

(iii)

For the purposes of settlement between the parties as referred to in paragraph (ii) above:

there shall be prepared by the Reinsurer (or by the Managing Agent on behalf of the Reinsurer) a statement of account in a form to be agreed between the Reinsurer and the Reinsured;

there shall be added to the amount of the Premium an amount equal to the aggregate of any amounts which may previously have been drawn down by Lloyd’s from the OSIL FAL (or, as the case may be, any Additional OSIL ECA FAL) to meet an interim cash call made on Flectat by the Managing Agent as referred to in paragraph (i) of Article VI, to the extent the Reinsurer shall not previously have been reimbursed in respect of the same;

there shall then be set off against the result of the calculation made under paragraph b the amount which the Reinsurer is liable (subject always to the operation of Article III) to pay under paragraph (i) of Article II;

subject to the provisions and operation of the FAL Providers’ Deed, if the result of the calculation made under paragraphs b and c is positive, the Reinsured shall pay to the Reinsurer an amount (in £Sterling, having converted any amounts in currencies other than £Sterling into £Sterling at the rates used in Flectat’s books of account at the time of settlement between Flectat and the Reinsured under the 2012 Flectat LLQS) equal to the result of that calculation, such payment to be made on (if it is not made before) the fifteenth day following receipt by the Reinsured of the settlement payment due to it by Flectat under the 2012 Flectat LLQS;

subject to the provisions and operation of the FAL Providers’ Deed, if the result of the calculation made under paragraphs b and c is negative, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured an amount (in £Sterling, having converted any amounts in currencies other than £Sterling into £Sterling at the rates used in Flectat’s books of account at the time of settlement between Flectat and the Reinsured under the 2012 Flectat LLQS) equal to the result of that calculation, such payment to be made on (if it is not made before) the date on which settlement is due to be made by the Reinsured to Flectat under the 2012 Flectat LLQS.

(iv)

If a party to this Treaty fails to pay an amount (the overdue amount) payable by it under this Treaty interest shall accrue and be payable by that party on the overdue amount from the date on which it becomes due up to the date of actual payment in full (after as well as before judgement) at the rate of 2 per cent above the base rate from time to time of National Westminster Bank Plc. Interest calculated under this paragraph shall be calculated day to day and on the basis of a 365 day year and interest payable in accordance with this paragraph shall be payable at the end of each month failing which it shall be compounded.

Article VI.

Cash Calls

(i)

The parties intend that should Flectat, after the Effective Date, become required by the Managing Agent to meet an interim cash call in respect of Syndicate 4444’s 2012 underwriting year of account then 85% of Flectat’s share of the amount of any such cash call (the “Relevant Cash Call Amount”) should be met:

as to 10% from the “CBL FAL” (being FAL in the amount of £[ — ]⁶ provided by the Reinsured to Lloyd’s for the benefit of CC2 and Flectat pursuant to the terms of the 2010 CC2 LLQS, the 2011 Flectat LLQS and the 2012 Flectat LLQS – not including, for the avoidance of any

⁶	i.e. the value of the total FAL that CBL will be providing itself at the outset of the Restructuring for the benefit of CC2 and Flectat

doubt, any of the OSIL FAL – plus the aggregate value of any ‘Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL’ (as defined in the 2011 Flectat LLQS and the 2012 Flectat LLQS) – not including any Additional OSIL ECA FAL – provided or procured to be provided from time to time by the Reinsured to Lloyd’s pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Flectat LLQS or the 2012 Flectat LLQS); and

as to 90% from the OSIL FAL or (as the case may be) any Additional OSIL ECA FAL.

(ii)

To the extent that there is met from the OSIL FAL or any Additional OSIL ECA FAL any part of a Relevant Cash Call Amount, the amount so met shall be treated (to the extent not repaid to the Reinsurer before settlement between the Parties in accordance with Article V above) as a payment on account of the amount which the Reinsurer may be liable (subject always to the operation of Article III) to pay under paragraph (i) of Article II.

Article VII.

Provision of FAL

(i)

In order to assist the Reinsured to satisfy its obligations under the 2010 CC2 LLQS, the 2011 Flectat LLQS and the 2012 Flectat LLQS concerning the provision of FAL, the Reinsurer shall provide or procure the provision to Lloyd’s of one or more letters of credit, cash deposits and/or investments (in a form acceptable to Lloyd’s), having an aggregate value of £[ — ]⁷, to form part of the FAL of CC2 which, by way of ‘forward interavailability’, will support the underwriting of Flectat for the 2011 and subsequent underwriting years of account (and will also support the underwriting of CC2 for the 2010 underwriting year of account) (“OSIL FAL”).

(ii)	The cost of provision of the OSIL FAL shall be met by the Reinsurer.

(iii)

The Reinsurer may, at any time permitted by Lloyd’s, substitute for all or any part of the OSIL FAL any other assets of equivalent value acceptable under Lloyd’s requirements as FAL.

(iv)

Subject to the provisions and operation of the FAL Providers’ Deed, the OSIL FAL stands as security for the performance (beyond set off against the amount of the Premium of the amount which the Reinsurer is liable to pay under paragraph (i) of Article II) of the Reinsurer’s obligations under this Treaty, as well as for the performance (beyond the corresponding set offs provided for under the 2010 Treaty and the 2011 Treaty) of the Reinsurer’s obligations under the 2010 Treaty and the 2011 Treaty.

(v)	For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of the FAL Providers’ Deed, the Reinsurer shall have no obligation to reinstate the value of the OSIL FAL or any Additional OSIL ECA FAL following any drawdown thereon.

(ii)	If the Reinsurer does not provide the full amount (or any) of the Additional OSIL 2012 Solvency FAL then:

if the Reinsured provides Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL (as defined in the 2012 Flectat LLQS) which is referable to the amount of Additional OSIL 2012 Solvency FAL that the Reinsurer has not provided, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured, promptly following release by Lloyd’s from Flectat’s or (as the case may be) CC2’s FAL of all or part of such Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable, an amount calculated by (I) multiplying the amount of the released Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable by the percentage corresponding to five hundred basis points plus the LIBOR rate for a 6 month £Sterling deposit as at the date on which the Reinsured provided the Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable and (II) multiplying the result of that calculation (“A”) by x/42 where x is the number of complete calendar months (or part thereof) for which the released Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable was deposited in the FAL of CC2 or Flectat (as applicable) PROVIDED that the amount payable by the Reinsurer shall not exceed A;

if the Reinsured does not provide Reinsurer’s Additional 2012 Solvency FAL (as defined in the 2012 Flectat LLQS) which is referable to the amount of Additional OSIL 2012 Solvency FAL that the Reinsurer has not provided and Flectat provides (or permits there to be provided by another for its benefit) Other Additional 2012 Solvency FAL (as defined in the 2012 Flectat LLQS) which is so referable, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured, promptly following release by Lloyd’s from Flectat’s or (as the case may be) CC2’s FAL of all or part of such Other Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable, an amount calculated by (I) multiplying the amount of the released Other Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable by the percentage corresponding to five hundred basis points plus the LIBOR rate for a 6 month £Sterling deposit as at the date on which Flectat provided (or permitted there to be provided by another for its benefit) the Other Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable and (II) multiplying the result of that calculation (“B”) by x/42 where x is the number of complete calendar months (or part thereof) for which the released Other Additional 2012 Solvency FAL which is so referable was deposited in the FAL of CC2 or Flectat (as applicable) PROVIDED that the amount payable by the Reinsurer shall not exceed B.

(The Parties acknowledge that the 2011 Treaty contains a similar provision to that contained in this paragraph; that each provision concerns the same obligation; and that performance by the Reinsurer of the obligation pursuant to one of the provisions will constitute performance of the obligation pursuant to the other provision.)

(iv)	If the Reinsurer does not provide the full amount (or any) of the Additional OSIL ECA FAL then:

if the Reinsured provides Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL (as defined in the 2011 Flectat LLQS and the 2012 Flectat LLQS) which is referable to the amount of Additional OSIL ECA FAL that the Reinsurer has not provided, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured, promptly following release by Lloyd’s from Flectat’s or (as the case may be) CC2’s FAL of all or part of such Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL which is so referable, an amount calculated by (I) multiplying the amount of the released Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL which is so referable by the percentage corresponding to five hundred basis points plus the LIBOR rate for a 6 month £Sterling deposit as at the date on which the Reinsured provided the Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL which is so referable and (II) multiplying the result of that calculation (“C”) by x/42 where x is the number of complete calendar months (or part thereof) for which the released Reinsurer’s Additional ECA FAL which is so referable was deposited in the FAL of CC2 or Flectat (as applicable) PROVIDED that the amount payable by the Reinsurer shall not exceed C;

result of that calculation (“D”) by x/42 where x is the number of complete calendar months (or part thereof) for which the released Other Additional ECA FAL which is so referable was deposited in the FAL of CC2 or Flectat (as applicable) PROVIDED that the amount payable by the Reinsurer shall not exceed D.

Article IX. Errors and Omissions

It is hereby understood and agreed that any inadvertent delays, omissions or errors made in connection with this Treaty shall not be held to relieve any of the parties hereto from any liability which would have attached to them hereunder if such delay, omission or error had not occurred provided that rectification is made upon discovery.

Article X. Non-Waiver etc.

Neither the obligations of the Reinsurer nor the rights and remedies of the Reinsured under this Treaty, or otherwise conferred by law in respect of this Treaty, shall be discharged, prejudiced or impaired by reason of any failure on the part of the Reinsured or the Reinsurer, whether intentional or not, to insist on compliance with this Treaty or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder (and no such failure shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy contained herein nor prevent either party from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent either party from exercising any such right or remedy in the future).

Article XI. Arbitration

Any dispute between the Reinsurer and the Reinsured arising out of or relating to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Treaty, as well as the formation, validity, binding effect and/or termination thereof and/or any non-contractual claims, shall be referred to arbitration under ▇▇▇▇▇ UK Arbitration Rules by a panel of three arbitrators. The Reinsurer or the Reinsured may request arbitration in writing sent to the other (the respondent) by certified or registered post, return receipt requested.

One arbitrator shall be chosen by the Reinsurer and the Reinsured, and the two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. If the Reinsurer fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after being requested to do so by the Reinsured, the Reinsured may appoint the second arbitrator.

Where the two party-appointed arbitrators have failed to appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days of the arbitration demand, then upon application ▇▇▇▇▇ (UK) will appoint an arbitrator to fill the vacancy. At any time prior to the appointment by ▇▇▇▇▇ (UK) the party or arbitrators in default may make such appointment.

All arbitrators will be disinterested persons (including those who have retired) having at least 10 years experience of insurance or reinsurance within the industry or as lawyers or other professional advisers serving the industry.

Within 30 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators the panel will meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings.

The panel may in its sole discretion make such orders and directions as it considers to be necessary for the final determination of the matters in dispute and shall have

the widest discretion permitted under the law governing the arbitral procedure when making such orders or directions. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration will take place in England, but the venue may be changed when the panel deems such change to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. The decision of any two arbitrators when rendered in writing will be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.

Each party will bear the costs of its own arbitrator and will bear, jointly and equally with the other party, the costs of the third arbitrator. The panel will allocate the remaining costs of the arbitration. The panel may, at its discretion, award such further costs, interest and expenses as it considers appropriate, including without limitation, with respect to legal fees.

The governing law of this Treaty shall be the substantive law of England and Wales.

The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Treaty.

Article XIV. Rights of Third Parties

A person who is not a party to this Treaty has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to enforce any term of this Treaty but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

Article XV. Amendments and No Other Agreement

Except as otherwise provided, this Treaty may be amended only by consent of the parties expressed in a written addendum executed by the parties with the same level of formality as this Treaty, and such addendum shall be deemed to be an integral part of this Treaty and binding on the parties.
