Delivery of and payment for the Depositary Shares shall be made on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I hereto or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Depositary Shares being herein called the “Closing Date”).

Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Company. The Depositary Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter hereunder, in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives may request upon at least one full business day’s prior notice to the Company, will be represented by one or more definitive global certificates in book-entry form, which shall be deposited by or on behalf of the Company with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian, for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of the Securities to be purchased by them, against payment by or on behalf of such Underwriters of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company at least one full business day in advance, by the Company causing DTC to credit the Depositary Shares with respect to the Preference Shares to the securities account(s) at DTC designated by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters.

4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus. The Company is further advised by you that the Depositary Shares are to be offered to the public initially at the Public Offering Price and to certain dealers selected by you at a price that represents a concession not in excess of the “dealer concession” amount set forth in Schedule I hereto under the Public Offering Price, and that any Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession, not in excess of the “reallowance concession” amount set forth in Schedule I hereto, to any Underwriter or to certain other dealers.

5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives: (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any

supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b); (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective; (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information; (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose; and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, in the form approved by the Company and attached as Schedule III hereto and file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(c) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company will promptly: (1) notify the Representatives of such event; (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (3) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(e) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(f) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering.

(g) The Company will use its best efforts, if necessary, to qualify the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (not to exceed one year from the date hereof), and the Company will pay any fee of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., in connection with its review of the offering; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to file a consent to service of process or to file annual reports or to comply with any other requirements in connection with such qualification deemed by the Company to be unduly burdensome.

(h) The Company and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agree that they have not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company or such Underwriter with the Commission or retained by the Company or such Underwriter under Rule 433, other than a free writing prospectus containing the information contained in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) and any free writing prospectus listed on Schedule I hereto. Any free writing prospectus listed in Schedule I is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”. The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(i) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain authorization for listing of the Depositary Shares on the NYSE no later than the 30th date succeeding the Closing Date.

(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(k) The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any Blue Sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) the registration of the Depositary Shares under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Depositary Shares on the NYSE; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); (viii) the cost and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary; (ix) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the

Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section 5(b) hereto, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice from any governmental authority objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

(b) The Company shall have requested and caused ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Limited, Bermuda, special Bermuda counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion on matters of Bermuda law, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, to the effect that:

(i) Each of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that the relevant company has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority under the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

(ii) The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Deposit Agreement. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, the delivery of the Prospectus by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and as otherwise contemplated by the Prospectus does not and will not violate the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings or DaVinci Reinsurance nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in Bermuda.

(iii) The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorize (i) the fixing of the designations, preferences, rights and

restrictions of the Securities as set out in the Certificate of Designation and (ii) its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement. Each of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with the terms thereof.

(iv) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, filing with or exemption by any government or public body or authority of Bermuda or any sub-division thereof is required to authorize or is required in connection with (i) the issue of the Preference Shares by the Company to the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement against the issuance of Depositary Shares pursuant to the Deposit Agreement or (ii) the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, except for the consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (and Regulations made thereunder) which was issued by the Bermuda Monetary Authority on 7 July 2000.

(v) It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of either this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement that it be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, to the extent that either this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement creates a charge over assets of the Company, it may be desirable to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the relevant charge that it be registered in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge, such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the assets which are the subject of the charge. A registration fee of $665 will be payable in respect of the registration.

While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Bermuda law, a charge includes any interest created in property by way of security (including any mortgage, assignment, pledge, lien or hypothecation). As this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York (the “Foreign Laws”), the question of whether it creates such an interest in property would be determined under the Foreign Laws.

(vi) This Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and issue of the Preference Shares will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty in Bermuda.

(vii) Under current Bermuda law, there are no Bermuda stamp duty, transfer or similar taxes payable in respect of the Company’s deposit with the Depositary of Preference Shares pursuant to the Deposit Agreement or in respect of the issue and delivery of the Preference Shares to the Depositary or the sale and delivery of the Depositary Shares to the Underwriters or any subsequent purchasers who are not ordinarily resident in Bermuda pursuant to this Agreement and the Underwriters will not become subject to any income, franchise or other tax imposed by a government authority of Bermuda solely by reason of execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(viii) Each of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance has all corporate power and authority necessary to conduct the business conducted by the particular entity (without reference to or including any particular subsidiary or other company) and to own, lease and operate its properties as described in the Final Prospectus and in “Item 1 – Business” and “Item 2 – Properties” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(ix) The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of this Agreement is a valid choice of law and would be recognized and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda. The submission in this Agreement to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Courts, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and State of New York, or any United States Federal or New York State Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, as the case may be (the “Foreign Courts”) is valid and binding upon the Company.

(x) Based solely upon a review of copies of (i) the Register of Members of Renaissance Reinsurance, (ii) the Register of Members of DaVinci Reinsurance and (iii) the Register of Members of DaVinci Holdings, each certified by its respective Secretary or Assistant Secretary at a specified date in July 2021, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and are non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue

thereof). All of the shares of Renaissance Reinsurance are registered in the name of RenRe Insurance Holdings Ltd. All of the Class A shares of DaVinci Holdings are registered in the name of Renaissance Other Investments Holdings Ltd., and all of the Class A shares of DaVinci Reinsurance are registered in the name of DaVinci Holdings.

(xi) Based solely upon a review of Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws, each certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Company on a specified date in July 2021, the authorized share capital of the Company is $325,000,000 divided into 225,000,000 common shares of par value US$1.00 each and 100,000,000 preference shares of U.S. $1.00 each; and (ii) based solely upon a review of the branch register of members of the Company prepared by Computershare, Inc., there are issued and outstanding such number of common shares of the Company par value U.S. $1.00 each, as specified therein, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that that no further sums are required to be paid by the holder of such common shares in connection with the issue thereof) and such common shares are not subject to any statutory pre-emptive or similar statutory rights of general application under Bermuda law.

(xii) The Preference Shares have been duly authorised and when issued against full payment of the purchase price of 1,000 Depositary Shares in respect of each Preference Share in accordance with the terms of issuance of such Depositary Shares as set out in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, the Preference Shares to be deposited under the Deposit Agreement by the Company will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as such is understood under Bermuda law) and will not be subject to any statutory preemptive or similar statutory rights.

(xiii) Based solely upon a review of a copy of its certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Insurance ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Bermuda, as amended (the “Insurance Act”), Renaissance Reinsurance is duly registered in Bermuda to write general insurance business as a class 4 insurer in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act.

(xiv) Based solely upon a review of a copy of its certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Insurance Act, DaVinci Reinsurance is duly registered in Bermuda to write general insurance business in Bermuda as a class 4 insurer in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act.

(xv) The statements (A) in the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of Depositary

Shares” and “Description of Series G Preference Shares” and in the Initial Prospectus under the captions “Description of Depositary Shares” and “Description of Our Capital Shares” (excluding statements under the sub captions “Common Shares” and “Supermajority Requirements for Certain Amendments”) and “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities under United States Federal Securities Laws,” (B) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under the caption “Business – Regulation – Bermuda Regulation,” and (C) in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” and (D) in “Item 15 – Indemnification of Officers and Directors” of the Registration Statement, insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws of Bermuda referred to therein, are accurate and correct in all material respects as at the dates such documents were filed.

(xvi) The courts of Bermuda would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon this Agreement under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment, (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda, (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud, (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda, (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of Bermuda and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of Bermuda.

(xvii) Based solely upon searches of the Cause Book of the Supreme Court of Bermuda conducted on 5 July 2021 (which would not reveal details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Cause Book at the time of our searches), there are no judgments against any of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings or DaVinci Reinsurance, nor any legal or governmental proceedings pending in Bermuda to which any of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings or DaVinci Reinsurance is subject.

(xviii) The deposit of Preference Shares by the Company in accordance with the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorised by the Company.

As to matters of fact, such counsel may rely, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance, and public officials. References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

(c) The Company shall have requested and caused ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, U.S. counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, to the effect that:

(i) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; based solely upon such counsel’s review of the list of stop orders contained on the Commission’s website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇ on July 12, 2021 no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no proceedings for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act have been instituted or threatened; any required filing, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Act, of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the Company’s registration statement on Form 8-A under the Exchange Act relating to the Securities was filed with the Commission; any required filing, pursuant to Rule 433 of the Act, of any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule I hereto, and any supplements thereto, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433; and the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which in each case such counsel need not express any opinion or belief) comply as to form in all material respects with the Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder;

(iii) To such counsel’s knowledge, the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Securities and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, did not at the time of execution of this Agreement and do not on the date of such opinion, contravene any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any U.S. governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci (assuming compliance by the Underwriters with all applicable securities and Blue Sky laws), and no consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any U.S. governmental body, agency or court is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Securities, except for as may be required under the securities, Blue Sky or insurance laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities (as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) or as may already have been obtained;

(x) Each Depositary Receipt will conform to the description of the Depositary Shares in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and will entitle the holder thereof to the benefits provided therein and in the Deposit Agreement.

(iv) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no Material Adverse Effect or change or development reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(f) The Company shall have requested and caused Ernst & Young Ltd. to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to the Representatives), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than the date hereof. References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (f) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act) or any notice given by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, on the Closing Date.

7. Reimbursement of the Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the

omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of the Company and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. The Company acknowledges (i) that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page of the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus regarding delivery of the Securities, (ii) the names of the several underwriters on the front and back cover pages of the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and (iii) under the heading “Underwriting” or “Plan of Distribution:” (a) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances, (b) the three paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids and (c) the paragraph related to the ordinary course activities of the Underwriters constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s

expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (ii) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company and all persons, if any, who control the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, each indemnifying party under such paragraph severally agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required

to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, each indemnifying party severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Depositary Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Depositary Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-

defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purpose of such remaining Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time there shall have been (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or NASDAQ, (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in any of the Company’s securities on the NYSE, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis, if the effect of such event specified in clause (iv) or this clause (v), in the sole judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c) For purposes of this Section 12, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) each of the Underwriters is acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

16. Trial By Jury. The Company and the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

17. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

(b) With respect to any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Courts in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York (the “Specified Courts”). In addition, the Company irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) For purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, the Company agrees to maintain an agent for service of process in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, at all times while any Securities shall be outstanding, and for that purpose the Company hereby irrevocably designates ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, c/o ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇, Esq., as its agent to receive on its behalf service of process (with a copy of all such service of process to be delivered to RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., Renaissance House, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: General Counsel) brought against it with respect to any such proceeding in any such court in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, such service being hereby

acknowledged by the Company to be effective and binding service on it in every respect whether or not the Company shall then be doing or shall have at any time done business in New York. In the event that such agent for service of process resigns or ceases to serve as the agent of the Company, the Company agrees to give notice as provided in Section 13 herein of the name and address of any new agent for service of process with respect to it appointed hereunder.

(d) If, despite the foregoing, in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the aforesaid courts, there is for any reason no such agent for service of process of the Company available to be served, then to the extent that service of process by mail shall then be permitted by applicable law, the Company further irrevocably consents to the service of process on it in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court by the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address given in or pursuant to Section 13 hereof.

(e) Nothing herein contained shall preclude any party from effecting service of process in any lawful manner or from bringing any suit, action or proceeding in respect of this Agreement in any other state, country or place.

18. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company with respect to any sum due from it to the Underwriters or any person controlling the Underwriters shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by the Underwriters or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that the Underwriters or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Underwriters or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder, the Underwriters or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder.

19. Taxes. If any sum payable by the Company under this Agreement is subject to tax in the hands of the Underwriters or taken into account as a receipt in computing the taxable income of the Underwriters (excluding net income taxes on underwriting commissions payable hereunder), the sum payable to the Underwriters

under this Agreement shall be increased to such sum as will ensure that the Underwriters shall be left with the sum they would have had in the absence of such tax. The preceding sentence does not include taxes imposed as a result of a failure by the Underwriters to comply with tax certifications reasonably requested by the Company and which the Underwriters were legally able to provide.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of this Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) or other transmission method, and the parties hereto agree that any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the second business day before delivery of the Depositary Shares will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
