PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

A. The Account Parties have requested that the Issuing Bank and the Lenders make available to the Account Parties a secured letter of credit facility in an initial amount of up to $1,000,000,000 to provide for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of one or more of the Account Parties. The Issuing Bank and the Lenders have indicated their willingness to agree to make such letters of credit available on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including the requirement that each Account Party fully collateralize its several letter of credit obligations with a perfected first priority security interest in satisfactory collateral, including cash, eligible marketable securities and (so long as certain conditions are met) Redeemable Preference Shares of Renaissance Investment Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda company (“RIHL”).

B. This Agreement amends and restates the Reimbursement Agreement initially dated as of December 20, 2002, as amended and restated by a First Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement dated as of March 31, 2004, and as amended and restated by a Second Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement dated as of April 27, 2007, among the Account Parties, RenRe, the lenders party thereto, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and certain other named agents party thereto (such reimbursement agreement, as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified up to but not including the date hereof, the “Existing Agreement”).

C. Each of the Account Parties is a holder of certain assets, including in certain cases, Redeemable Preference Shares, and will at all times pledge sufficient assets to the Collateral Agent to secure such Account Party’s obligations to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with this letter of credit facility. Such Account Party’s pledged assets are held in a separate custodial account with Mellon and are pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant to a Pledge Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent, and a related Control Agreement among such Account Party, Mellon and the Collateral Agent.

▇. ▇▇▇▇’▇ sole business is to invest in a portfolio of high quality marketable securities as described in RIHL’s Private Placement Memorandum. RIHL provides certain undertakings to the Agents and Lenders pursuant to the RIHL Agreement in support of this letter of credit facility, including maintenance of its status as a single purpose company and its agreement to redeem the pledged Redeemable Preference Shares as may be required by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence of certain events.

▇. ▇▇▇▇ also agrees in the RIHL Agreement to guarantee the obligations of one or more of the Account Parties under this letter of credit facility upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to RIHL or the Account Parties. RIHL will at all times secure its obligations under such guaranty by pledging an allocable portion of RIHL’s assets to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the RIHL Pledge Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent, and a related Control Agreement among RIHL, Mellon and the Collateral Agent.

F. All of the common shares of RIHL are owned by RenRe, and the day-to-day investment activities of RIHL are controlled by Renaissance Underwriting Managers Ltd., a Bermuda company (“RUM”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of RenRe. RenRe and RUM provide certain undertakings to the Agents and Lenders pursuant to the RenRe Agreement in support of this letter of credit facility, including exercise of their control over RIHL to cause RIHL to comply with its obligations under the Credit Documents and maintenance of RIHL’s status as a single purpose company.

ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 2.1 The Letters of Credit. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, so long as no Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Applicable Account Party, the Issuing Bank will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the seventh day prior to the Expiration Date, and upon request on behalf of the Applicable Account Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(a), issue for the account of such Account Party one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by the Issuing Bank (together with all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, substitutions therefor and renewals and restatements thereof, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”, it being understood that all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto and a “Letter of Credit” hereunder, and from and after the Restatement Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) The Issuing Bank shall not issue, and no Credit Party will request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit hereunder if at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit and after giving effect thereto, either (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the aggregate Collateral Value, (ii) the total Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to the Applicable Account Party would exceed the Collateral Value of the Collateral of such Account Party, (iii) any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit would exceed such Lender’s Unused L/C Commitment, (iv) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, if requested on behalf of the Applicable Account Party, provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less unless and until the Issuing Bank shall have delivered a

notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, (v) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, or (vi) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(b) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, at the time of such proposed issuance, (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirements of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to the Issuing Bank as of the Restatement Effective Date and that the Issuing Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it, (ii) the Issuing Bank shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from any Lender, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 (if applicable) or Section 3.2 are not then satisfied (or have not been waived in writing as required herein) or (iii) such Letter of Credit shall be payable upon presentation of other than sight drafts or certificates.

(c) The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any letter of credit which is unsatisfactory in form, substance or beneficiary to the Issuing Bank in the exercise of its reasonable judgment consistent with its customary practice.

Section 2.2 Issuance, Renewals, Drawings, Participations and Reimbursement.

(a) Request for Issuance. RenRe, on behalf of an Applicable Account Party, may from time to time request, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice (given not later than 11:00 A.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time on the last day permitted therefor), the Issuing Bank to issue or renew (other than any automatic renewal thereof) a Letter of Credit by:

(i) delivering to the Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, either (x) a written request to such effect or (y) a request made in electronic form through the Issuing Bank’s remote access system and in accordance with the terms and conditions (including any written agreements between the Issuing Bank and RenRe or the Applicable Account Party) applicable thereto, in each case specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to be issued or renewed (which shall be a Business Day), the expiration date thereof, the Available Amount thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the requested form thereof, and in each case with a copy of such request (or, in the case of clause (y) above, a written or electronic summary thereof) to the Administrative Agent; and

(ii) in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, delivering to the Issuing Bank a completed agreement and application with respect to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank may specify for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”), together with such other certificates, documents and other

papers or information as are specified in such Letter of Credit Agreement or as may be required pursuant to the Issuing Bank’s customary practices for the issuance of letters of credit (including requirements relating to requests made through the Issuing Bank’s remote access system).

The Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receiving a copy of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, notify the Lenders of such proposed Letter of Credit or such proposed renewal of a Letter of Credit, and shall determine, as of 11:00 A.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed date of issuance, whether such proposed Letter of Credit complies with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. If such conditions set forth in Section 2.1 are not satisfied or if the Required Lenders have given notice to the Administrative Agent to cease issuing or renewing Letters of Credit as contemplated by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Issuing Bank (in writing or by telephone immediately confirmed in writing) that the Issuing Bank is not authorized to issue or renew, as the case may be, such Letter of Credit. If the Issuing Bank issues or renews a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as RenRe, on behalf of the Applicable Account Party, shall otherwise direct, and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and furnish a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Issuing Bank may issue Letters of Credit through any of its branches or Affiliates (whether domestic or foreign) that issue letters of credit, and RenRe and each Account Party authorizes and directs the Issuing Bank to select the branch or Affiliate that will issue or process any Letter of Credit.

(b) Request for Extension or Increase. RenRe, on behalf of an Account Party, may from time to time request the Issuing Bank to extend the expiration date of an outstanding Letter of Credit issued for the Account Party’s account or increase (or, with the consent of the beneficiary, decrease) the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such extension or increase shall for all purposes hereunder (including for purposes of Section 2.1 and Section 2.2(a)) be treated as though such Account Party had requested issuance of a new or replacement Letter of Credit (except only that the Issuing Bank may, if it elects, issue a notice of extension or increase in lieu of issuing a new Letter of Credit in substitution for the outstanding Letter of Credit).

(c) Limitations on Issuance, Extension, Renewal and Amendment. As between the Issuing Bank, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Issuing Bank shall be justified and fully protected in issuing or renewing a Letter of Credit unless it shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.2(a) hereof that it is not authorized to do so, notwithstanding any subsequent notices to the Issuing Bank, any knowledge of a Suspension Event or a Default or Event of Default, any knowledge of failure of any condition specified in Article III to be satisfied, any other knowledge of the Issuing Bank, or any other event, condition or circumstance whatsoever. The Issuing Bank may amend, modify or supplement Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreements without the consent of, and without liability to, any Agent or any Lender, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement that extends the expiration date of, or increases the Available Amount of or the amount available to be drawn on, an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an Evergreen Letter of Credit) shall be subject to Section 2.1 and Article III. With respect to each Letter of Credit that provides by its terms for automatic renewal (an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”), the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank

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 Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Bank 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, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days prior to the date specified in such Letter of Credit for delivery of a notice of non-extension (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or RenRe that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article III is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(d) Letter of Credit Participation Interests. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit and without any further action by any party to this Agreement, the Issuing Bank automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, to have sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to each Lender, and each Lender automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, severally to have purchased, acquired, accepted and assumed from the Issuing Bank, without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Issuing Bank, an undivided interest, in a proportion equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in all of the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations in, to or under such Letter of Credit, the related Letter of Credit Agreement, each drawing made thereunder, all obligations of the Applicable Account Party under the Credit Documents with respect to such Letter of Credit, and all Collateral, guarantees and other rights from time to time directly or indirectly securing the foregoing (such interest of each Lender being referred to herein as an “L/C Participation Interest”); provided, however, that the fees and charges relating to Letters of Credit described in Section 2.5(c)(ii) shall be payable directly to the Issuing Bank as provided therein, and the Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion thereof. Each Lender irrevocably and unconditionally accepts and agrees to the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon any change in the Commitments of any of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.5 or otherwise, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section to reflect the new L/C Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. On the date that any New Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or an existing Lender increases its L/C Commitment, in each case in accordance with Section 2.18, L/C Participation Interests in all outstanding Letters of Credit held by each of the Lenders (including any New Lender) shall automatically be reallocated to reflect the Lenders’ L/C Commitment Percentages at such time. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Lender hereby agrees that its obligation to participate in each Letter of Credit, its obligation to make the payments specified in Section 2.2(e), and the right of the Issuing Bank to receive such payments in the manner specified therein, are each absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event, condition or circumstance whatever as more particularly set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii). The failure of any Lender to make any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its funding obligation hereunder on the date due, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to meet its funding obligations hereunder. On the Restatement Effective Date (i) each outstanding Letter of Credit will continue in full force and effect as a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and (ii) the L/C Participation Interests shall automatically be reallocated to reflect the Lenders’ L/C Commitment Percentages at such time.

(e) Payment by Lenders on Account of Unreimbursed Draws. If the Issuing Bank makes a payment under any Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed in full on the date of such payment in accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Issuing Bank may notify the Administrative Agent thereof (which notice may be by telephone), and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify each Lender (which notice may be by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) thereof. No later than the Administrative Agent’s close of business on the date such notice is given (if notice is given by 2:00 P.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time) or 10:00 A.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time the following day (if notice is given after 2:00 P.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time or in the case of any Lender whose Lending Office is located outside of the United States), each Lender will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment by the Issuing Bank. Amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be forthwith transferred, in immediately available funds, to the Issuing Bank. If and to the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such date, such Lender shall pay such amount on demand, together with interest, for the Issuing Bank’s own account, for each day from and including the date such payment is due from such Lender to the Issuing Bank to but not including the date of repayment to the Issuing Bank (before and after judgment) at a rate per annum for each day (i) from and including the date of payment by the Issuing Bank to and including the date such payment is due from such Lender equal to the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) thereafter equal to the rate of interest payable by the Applicable Account Party under Section 2.3(a)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed by the Lenders that Letters of Credit issued prior to the Expiration Date may, by their terms, remain outstanding after the Expiration Date and that the obligations of the Lenders to make payments under this Section 2.2(e) shall continue from and after the Expiration Date until the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Letter of Credit Advances. The term “Letter of Credit Advance” is used in this Agreement in accordance with the meanings set forth in this Section 2.2(f). The making of any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit is sometimes referred to herein as the making of a Letter of Credit Advance by the Issuing Bank in the amount of such payment. The making of any payment by a Lender for the account of the Issuing Bank under Section 2.2(e) on account of an unreimbursed drawing on a Letter of Credit is also sometimes referred to herein as the making of a Letter of Credit Advance to the Applicable Account Party by such Lender. The making of such a Letter of Credit Advance by a Lender with respect to an unreimbursed drawing on a Letter of Credit shall reduce, by a like amount, the outstanding Letter of Credit Advance of the Issuing Bank with respect to such unreimbursed drawing. No such making of a Letter of Credit Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Account Party to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(g) Letter of Credit Reports. The Issuing Bank will furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of each issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit (including the Available Amount and expiration date thereof), amendment to a Letter of Credit, cancellation of a Letter of Credit and payment on a Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent will furnish to each Lender prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day of each calendar quarter an electronic report setting forth each Lender’s share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such calendar quarter and its corresponding letter of credit fee.

Section 2.3 Repayment of Letter of Credit Advances.

(a) Account Parties’ Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) Each Account Party hereby severally agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds (by making payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.7 in the amount of each payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued for such Account Party’s account (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, together with interest thereon payable as provided hereinbelow, a “Reimbursement Obligation”) no later than the third succeeding Business Day (the “Due Date”) after the date such payment under such Letter of Credit is made by the Issuing Bank (the “Draw Date”), together with interest as provided below on the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the Draw Date) for the period from the Draw Date to the date the Reimbursement Obligation created thereby is satisfied in full (the “Payment Date”). If the Payment Date is on or prior to the Due Date, such interest shall be payable at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time during the period from the Draw Date to the Payment Date. If the Payment Date is after the Due Date, such interest shall be payable (x) at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time during the period from and including the Draw Date to and not including the Due Date, and (y) at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus 2% from and including the Due Date to and not including the Payment Date. All such interest shall also be payable on demand. The Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent, RenRe and the Applicable Account Party with prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made under any Letter of Credit, although the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall not release, diminish or otherwise affect the Applicable Account Party’s obligations under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders which have funded their Letter of Credit Advance remaining unpaid by such Account Party their Pro Rata Shares of any such amounts received by it under this Section. Such reimbursement obligation shall be payable without further notice, protest or demand, all of which are hereby waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Each Account Party acknowledges and agrees that it has in its Control Agreement unconditionally and irrevocably authorized the Collateral Agent to instruct the Custodian to redeem Redeemable Preference Shares or obtain and apply other Collateral of such Account Party to the payment of any Reimbursement Obligation not paid in full on the Draw Date as directed by the Collateral Agent; provided that, with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation of less than $25,000,000, the Collateral Agent shall not give the instruction for such a redemption if RenRe shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day first succeeding the Draw Date that the Reimbursement Obligation will be paid in cash on or before the Due Date and thereafter such payment is made.

(ii) The obligation of each Account Party to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Account Party and to repay each Letter of Credit Advance with respect thereto, and the obligation of each Lender under Section 2.2(e) with respect thereto, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Letter of Credit Agreement and any other applicable agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Account Party or any other Person in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(C) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Account Party or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Credit Party and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(D) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, telecopier or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms;

(E) payment by the Issuing Bank under a 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 defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (provided that any draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Security Documents, for all or any of the obligations of any Account Party or any other Person in respect of the L/C Related Documents;

(G) the occurrence of any Substitution Event, Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default; or

(H) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including without limitation any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Account Party or a guarantor.

(b) Rescission. If any amount received by the Issuing Bank on account of any Letter of Credit Advance, Reimbursement Obligation or other Obligation shall be avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by the Issuing Bank for any reason at any time, whether before or after the termination of this Agreement (or the Issuing Bank believes in good faith that such avoidance, rescission, return or payment is required, whether or not such matter has been adjudicated), each Lender will (except to the extent a corresponding amount received by such Lender on account of its Letter of Credit Advance relating to the same payment on a Letter of Credit has been avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by such Lender), promptly upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, pay over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of such amount, together with its Pro Rata Share of any interest or penalties payable with respect thereto.

(a) If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or the making of Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.6, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.8 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Account Parties jointly and severally agree to pay, from time to time, within five (5) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to RenRe by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing 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 Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the L/C Commitments of such Lender or the participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing

Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Account Parties jointly and severally will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after demand by such Lender or such Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to RenRe by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Each Lender shall promptly notify RenRe and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid any obligation by the Account Parties to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (b) above or pursuant to Section 2.8(a) (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify RenRe and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Account Parties of) any event described in the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6(a) or (b) or Section 2.8 (and without limiting Section 2.6(c) above), no Lender shall be entitled to compensation from the Account Parties for any amount arising prior to the date which is 90 days before the date on which such Lender notifies RenRe of such event or circumstance (except that if such event or circumstance is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). As used in this Section 2.6 the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

Section 2.7 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Account Parties (and RenRe, as applicable) shall make each payment hereunder irrespective of any right of counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. Charlotte, North Carolina time on the day when due, in U.S. dollars, to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by such Account Party is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other amount then payable hereunder to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective amount then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by such Account Party is in respect of any amount then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.5(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment

and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest on Letter of Credit Advances (and any other amount payable by reference to the Base Rate) when the Base Rate is determined by reference to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo’s prime rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or, if applicable, 366 days; all other computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days. All such computations shall be made for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be.

Section 2.8 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.7, free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding), and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, being herein referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party or any Agent shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Credit Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Credit Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required withholdings or deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8), such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made, (ii) such Credit Party or Agent (as the case may be) shall make all such withholdings or deductions and (iii) such Credit Party or Agent (as the case may be) shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Credit Party shall timely pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (herein referred to as “Other Taxes”) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Credit Party shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for, and hold them harmless against, the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.8, imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, except to the extent that such Taxes or Other Taxes are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or such Lender. This indemnification payment shall be made within 10 days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) If any Lender is incorporated or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) and is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of United States withholding tax pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, such Non-U.S. Lender will deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and RenRe, on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement after the Restatement Effective Date, on the effective date thereof), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by RenRe or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by RenRe or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by RenRe or the Administrative Agent as will enable RenRe or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each such Non-U.S. Lender further agrees to deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and RenRe an additional copy of each such relevant form on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event (including a change in its Lending Office) requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, in each case certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding or deduction for or on account of United States federal income taxes in connection with payments under this Agreement, unless an event (including without limitation any Change in Law) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required, which event renders all such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Non-U.S. Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and RenRe that it is not entitled to receive payments without reduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes. Each such Non-U.S. Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and RenRe of any changes in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(f) The Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States federal withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent that (y) the indemnity payments or additional amounts any Lender would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Lender would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation or transfer, or (z) such assignment, participation or transfer was requested by RenRe, (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 2.8(e) or (iii) any of the representations or certifications made by a Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(e) are incorrect at the time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any Change in Law having effect after the date such representations or certifications were made.

(g) The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall comply with any reasonable request made by any Credit Party in respect of a claim of a refund in respect of Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8 if (i) such Credit Party has agreed in writing to pay all of the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such claim, (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender determines, in its good faith judgment, that it would not be unduly disadvantaged, burdened or prejudiced as a result of such claim and (iii) such Credit Party furnishes, upon request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, an opinion of tax counsel (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent) that such Credit Party is likely to receive a refund or credit. Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall obligate the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to any Credit Party.

Section 2.9 Sharing of Payments, etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.5(a) or any payment made by a Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof, such Lender shall forthwith purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (B) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the

proportion of (x) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

Section 2.10 Use of Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit shall be used to support the Account Parties’ insurance and reinsurance liabilities.

Section 2.11 Payments to Defaulting Lenders.

(a) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to any Agent or any of the other Lenders and (iii) any Credit Party shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by such Credit Party to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders and, if the amount of such payment made by such Credit Party shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other Lenders, in the following order of priority:

first, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Agents in their capacities as such;

second, to the Issuing Bank for any amount then due and payable to it, in its capacity as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance with such amounts then due and payable to the Issuing Bank; and

third, to any other Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders.

Any portion of such amount paid by such Credit Party for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) of this Section 2.11.

(b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not then owe a Defaulted Amount and (iii) any Credit Party, any Agent or other Lender shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Credit Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Credit Party or such Agent or such other Lender shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow and the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (b) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (b). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (b). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Letter of Credit Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, as and when such Letter of Credit Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Letter of Credit Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:

first, to the Agents for any amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents in their capacities as such;

third, to any other Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lenders.

In the event that any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and all amounts owing by such Lender to the Agents and the other Lenders shall have been paid in full, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and applied by such Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.

Section 2.12 Replacement of Lenders. At any time (i) any Lender has made, or notified RenRe that an event or circumstance has occurred which may give rise to, a demand for compensation under Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.8 (but only so long as the event or circumstance giving rise to such demand or notice is continuing) or (ii) any Lender has become an Affected Lender, RenRe may replace such Lender as a party to this Agreement with one or more other Lenders and/or Eligible Assignees, and upon notice from RenRe, such Lender shall assign pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and without recourse or warranty (other than as to the absence of Liens arising by, through or under such Lender), its L/C Commitment, its Letter of Credit Advances, its obligations to fund Letter of Credit payments, its participation in, and its rights and obligations with respect to, Letters of Credit, and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such other Lenders and/or Eligible Assignees for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.5 and all other Obligations owed to such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.13 Certain Provisions Relating to the Issuing Bank and Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Agreements. The representations, warranties and covenants by the Account Parties under, and the rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank under, any Letter of Credit Agreement relating to any Letter of Credit are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, representations, warranties and covenants by the Credit Parties under, and rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under, this Agreement and applicable law. Each Account Party acknowledges and agrees that all rights of the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Lender to the extent of its L/C Participation Interests and Letter of Credit Advances as fully as if such Lender was a party to such Letter of Credit Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) Certain Provisions. The Issuing Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities to any Agent or any Lender except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or responsibilities on the part of the Issuing Bank shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist. The duties and responsibilities of the Issuing Bank to the Lenders and the Agents under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and the Issuing Bank shall not have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Agent, any Lender or any other Person. None of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any of their Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit Document or Letter of Credit at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or 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 L/C Related Document. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to ascertain, inquire or give any notice to any Agent or any Lender relating to (i) the performance or observance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on the part of any Credit Party, (ii) the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Credit Parties or any other Person, or (iii) the existence of any Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default. Each Credit Party assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary

or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. None of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any of their Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for (y) any of the matters described in clauses (A) through (G) of Section 2.3(a)(ii); or (z) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Applicable Account Party shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Account Party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Account Party that such Account Party proves were caused by (a) the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (b) the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank 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. It is expressly understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of Credit resulted from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (1) the Issuing Bank’s acceptance of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, (2) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (3) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Agent or any Lender with any notices, reports or information of any nature, whether in its possession presently or hereafter, except for such notices, reports and other information expressly required by this Agreement to be so furnished. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the execution, delivery, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or adequacy of this Agreement or any Credit Document.

(c) Administration. The Issuing Bank may rely upon any notice or other communication of any nature (written, electronic or oral, including but not limited to telephone conversations and transmissions through the Issuing Bank’s remote access system, whether or not such notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any other Credit Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the proper party or parties, and the Issuing Bank shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any Person giving such notice or other communication. The Issuing Bank may consult with legal counsel (including without limitation in-house counsel for the Issuing Bank or in-house or other counsel for the Credit Parties), independent public accountants and any other experts selected by it from time to time, and the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be

taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Whenever the Issuing Bank shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to any Credit Party, any Agent or any Lender, such matter may be established by a certificate of such Credit Party, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and the Issuing Bank may conclusively rely upon such certificate. The Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have any knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from a Lender, an Agent or a Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Suspension Event, Default, or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of Default” or “notice of Suspension Event”.

(d) Indemnification of Issuing Bank by Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Issuing Bank and each of its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limitation of the obligations of the Credit Parties to do so), in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature (including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuing Bank or such other Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Issuing Bank or such other Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, or such other Person, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Letter of Credit, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or such other indemnified Person, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

(e) Issuing Bank in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its commitments and the obligations owing to it, the Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Credit Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Issuing Bank, and the term “Lenders” and like terms shall include the Issuing Bank in its individual capacity as such. The Issuing Bank and its affiliates may, without liability to account to any Person, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or equity interests in, act as trustee under indentures of, act as agent under other credit facilities for, and engage in any other business with, any Credit Party and any stockholder, subsidiary or affiliate of any Credit Party, as though the Issuing Bank were not the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 2.14 Affected Lenders.

(a) Upon such time as any Lender shall become an Affected Lender, then:

(i) Immediately all or any part of such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Affected Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to the L/C Commitment of such Affected Lender), but only to the extent that with respect to each non-Affected Lender the Letter of Credit Exposure of such non-Affected Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) outstanding at such time (after giving effect to any such reallocation) does not exceed such non-Affected Lender’s L/C Commitment, provided that each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then such Affected Lender shall be obligated to provide (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) cash collateral to the Collateral Agent (or if such Affected Lender is unable, without regulatory approval, to provide cash collateral, a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) in an amount equal to such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above). Any funds provided by an Affected Lender for such purpose shall be maintained in an interest bearing cash deposit account to be established and maintained by the Collateral Agent, over which the Collateral Agent shall have sole dominion and control, upon such terms as may be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Affected Lender Collateral Account”). The funds so deposited in any Affected Lender Collateral Account (or any drawing under such a letter of credit) shall be used only in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.14.

(iii) if the Affected Lender shall fail to provide cash collateral (or one or more letters of credit) in the full amount required pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Account Party shall, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(iii), pay to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, for deposit in a cash deposit account to be established and maintained by the Collateral Agent as more particularly set forth in Section 2.17 (each being a “Cash Collateral Account”), an amount in cash, which to the extent allowed by law shall be free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties, equal to such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure in respect of such Account Party (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above and any partial collateralization by the Affected Lender pursuant to clause (ii) above) for so long as such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure is outstanding; provided that (1) such cash collateral shall be counted towards the aggregate Collateral Value, (2) if at any time the Collateral Agent determines that the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above and any partial collateralization by the Affected Lender pursuant to clause (ii) above), the Collateral Agent may make demand on each Account Party to pay, and each Account Party shall, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent making such demand, pay to the Collateral Agent an amount in cash equal to such Account Party’s share of such deficiency, which funds shall be deposited in such Account Party’s Cash Collateral Account, (3) amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account will be paid as necessary from time to time to the Issuing Bank, on account of amounts owing by such

Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(e) and 2.13(d), (4) if the Account Parties are required to provide an amount of cash collateral under this clause (iii), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time) shall be returned to such Account Parties within three (3) Business Days after (A) an Affected Lender has been determined to no longer be an Affected Lender, (B) such Affected Lender has been replaced by another Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or (C) there exists no Fronting Exposure with respect to such Affected Lender;

(iv) if the Pro Rata Shares of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit of the non-Affected Lenders are reallocated pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(i), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(c)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Affected Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares thereof; and

(v) if any Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure is neither collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), then without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the fee payable under Section 2.5(c)(i) with respect to such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Affected Lender’s Fronting Exposure is collateralized and/or reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.14(a).

(b) If the Fronting Exposure of any Affected Lender is not eliminated as set forth in Section 2.14(a), then:

(i) the L/C Commitment of such Affected Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to the outstanding Fronting Exposure of such Affected Lender;

(ii) each Account Party shall prepay all amounts owed to such Affected Lender hereunder or in connection herewith; and

(iii) if, upon the reduction of the L/C Commitment of an Affected Lender under clause (i) above and the payment under clause (ii) above, the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment by an amount in excess of the sum of the cash collateral (or the stated amount of any letter of credit) posted by such Affected Lender and the cash collateral posted by the Account Parties pursuant to Section 2.14(a), then the Account Parties will immediately eliminate such excess by causing the Available Amount of one or more Letters of Credit to be reduced.

(c) If any Affected Lender shall be required to fund its participation in a payment under a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or make a payment pursuant to Section 2.13(d), then the Collateral Agent will deliver to the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall apply, the funds deposited in the applicable Affected Lender Collateral Account (or any drawing under such a letter of credit) to fund such participation or payment. The deposit of funds in an Affected Lender Collateral Account (or any drawing under such a letter of credit) shall not constitute a Letter of Credit Advance (and the Affected Lender shall not be entitled to interest on such funds except as provided in Section 2.14(d) unless and until (and then only to the extent that) such funds (or any drawing under such a letter of credit) are used by the Issuing Bank to fund the participation of such Affected Lender pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.14(c).

(d) Funds in a Affected Lender Collateral Account shall be invested in such investments as may be agreed between the Collateral Agent and the applicable Affected Lender, and the income from such investments shall be distributed to such Affected Lender from time to time (but not less often than monthly) as agreed between the Collateral Agent and such Affected Lender. The Collateral Agent will (i) from time to time, upon request by an Affected Lender, release to such Affected Lender any amount on deposit in the applicable Affected Lender Collateral Account in excess of the L/C Participation Interests of such Affected Lender (or, if applicable, not draw under any such letter of credit in excess of the L/C Participation Interests of such Affected Lender) and (ii) upon the earliest to occur of (A) the effective date of any replacement of such Affected Lender as a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, (B) the termination of such Affected Lender’s L/C Commitment pursuant to Section 2.14(b), or (C) the first Business Day after receipt by the Collateral Agent of evidence (reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) that such Lender is no longer an Affected Lender, release to such Lender all amounts on deposit in the applicable Affected Lender Collateral Account (or, if applicable, return such letter of credit to such Lender for cancellation).

(e) At any time there is an Affected Lender and the reallocation described in Section 2.14(a)(i) cannot be fully effected, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless such Affected Lender and the Account Parties have deposited sufficient cash collateral in the Affected Lender Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral Account, respectively, or, in the case of the Affected Lender, one or more letters of credit, to cover the Fronting Exposure of such Affected Lender.

(f) In addition to the rights and remedies set forth under Sections 2.14(a) and (b), if any Lender shall become an Affected Lender, then the Issuing Bank may, by notice to such Affected Lender, the Administrative Agent and RenRe within 45 days after such occurrence, request that RenRe use reasonable efforts to replace such Affected Lender as a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.12.

(g) If RenRe, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the L/C Participation Interests to be held on a pro rata basis by the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their L/C Commitment Percentages, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in status from a Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(h) The rights and remedies against an Affected Lender under this Section 2.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies that any Agent or any Lender may have against such Affected Lender.

Section 2.15 Downgrade Event or Other Event with Respect to the Issuing Bank. At any time the Issuing Bank is a Downgraded Lender or at such other times as the Issuing Bank and RenRe may agree, RenRe may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Issuing Bank (in this Section sometimes referred to as the “Old Issuing Bank”) and the Administrative Agent, designate any Lender (so long as such Lender has agreed to such designation) as an additional Issuing Bank hereunder (in this Section sometimes referred to as the “New Issuing Bank”). Such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) on which the New Issuing Bank is to become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder. From and after such date, all new Letters of Credit requested to be issued hereunder shall be issued by the New Issuing Bank. From and after such date (and until the first date on which no Letters of Credit issued by the Old Issuing Bank are outstanding and no reimbursement obligations are owed to the Old Issuing Bank, on which date the Old Issuing Bank shall cease to be an Issuing Bank hereunder), references in this Agreement to the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer (a) to the Old Issuing Bank, with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it, (b) to the New Issuing Bank, with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and (c) to each of the Old Issuing Bank and the New Issuing Bank, with respect to other matters. Notwithstanding the fact that an Old Issuing Bank shall cease to be an Issuing Bank hereunder, all of the exculpatory, indemnification and similar provisions hereof in favor of the Issuing Bank shall inure to such Old Issuing Bank’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was an Issuing Bank under this Agreement. The Account Parties and RenRe agree that after any appointment of a New Issuing Bank hereunder, the Account Parties and RenRe shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly replace (or otherwise cause the applicable beneficiary to return to the Old Issuing Bank for cancellation) each letter of credit issued by the Old Issuing Bank with a Letter of Credit issued by the New Issuing Bank.

Section 2.16 Collateral.

(a) It is a condition of the issuance and maintenance of Letters of Credit hereunder that the Letter of Credit Outstandings be at all times fully secured by Collateral consisting of cash and the types of eligible marketable securities set forth on Schedule II or, so long as eligible, Redeemable Preference Shares. Pursuant to the Security Documents and as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Account Parties shall grant and convey, or cause to be granted and conveyed, to the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a Lien and security interest in, to and upon the Collateral, prior and superior to all other Liens, except for Liens in favor of the Custodian securing payment of amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions or pay income or distributions in respect of Collateral. Each Account Party shall cause the Collateral to be charged or pledged and be made subject to the Security Documents (in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent) necessary for the perfection of the Lien and security interest in, to and upon the Collateral and for the exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder. In addition, RIHL has guaranteed certain of the Obligations under certain circumstances as provided in the RIHL Agreement (the “RIHL Guaranty”), and has agreed to secure the RIHL Guaranty pursuant to the RIHL Pledge and RIHL Control Agreements.

(b) RenRe shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F or otherwise in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth with respect to each Applicable Account Party and RIHL the information provided for in such form and such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (such certificate, a “Collateral Value Report”) at the following times: (A) within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, and (B) at and as of such other times as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request in its (or their) sole discretion, and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a report generated by the Custodian, or such other Person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, providing individual security level detail in the applicable Custodial Account for the preceding month and in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each such certificate shall be subject to review and verification by the Administrative Agent, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to redetermine the Collateral Value of the Collateral in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

(c) At any time from and after the occurrence of any Substitution Event, Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to redeem (through the Custodian or by exercising the proxy of the Custodian) the Redeemable Preference Shares held in the applicable Custodial Accounts for cash within three (3) Business Days or, at the election of the Collateral Agent, for marketable securities acceptable to the Collateral Agent within one (1) Business Day; provided, that if the relevant event is exclusively a Substitution Event, RIHL may elect to make such redemption in cash or in kind within the foregoing time periods. Such redemptions shall be made pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Bye-laws.

(d) The Account Parties may from time to time add or substitute eligible Collateral to, or sell, deliver, transfer or otherwise withdraw Collateral from, any Custodial Account (including without limitation by trading of securities) as and to the extent permitted by the Security Documents.

Section 2.17 Cash Collateral Accounts. In addition to the requirement to deposit cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(iii), at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any Account Party, the Administrative Agent, at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders, may require such Account Party to deposit cash collateral into its respective Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure for such Account Party at any time outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder). Each Account Party hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Agents and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for such Account Party’s Obligations, and for application to such Account Party’s Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts held by them. Other than any

interest on the investment of such amounts in cash equivalent investments, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Account Party (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Collateral Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by the Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the Applicable Account Party’s Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent will deliver to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse the Issuing Bank (and any Lenders that have funded any unreimbursed draws pursuant to Section 2.2(e)) therefor. Any amounts remaining in an Account Party’s Cash Collateral Account after the expiration of all Letters of Credit of such Account Party and reimbursement in full of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for all of such Account Party’s Obligations thereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Account Party, to be applied against the Obligations of such Account Party in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct. If an Account Party is required to provide cash collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Account Party within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.18 Increase of Total Commitment.

(a) Provided there exists no Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), RenRe may from time to time, request an increase in the Total Commitments in increments of $10,000,000 but in no event shall (i) the aggregate of all increases effected after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed $500,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment exceed in the aggregate $1,500,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, RenRe (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 (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify RenRe 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 and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), RenRe may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders (a “New Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) If the Total Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.18, the Administrative Agent and RenRe shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective

Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify RenRe and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. The L/C Commitments and obligations of all Lenders party hereto prior to the Increase Effective Date shall not be affected by any increase of the Total Commitments, other than the resulting adjustment to the Pro Rata Share which each Lender has of the aggregate L/C Participation Interests.

(e) As a condition precedent to such increase, RenRe shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (with sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2.

(f) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.1 to the contrary.

Section 2.19 Extension of Expiration Date. RenRe may, at its option, give the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank written notice (an “Extension Request”) at any time not more than 60 days, nor less than 30 days, prior to the Expiration Date in effect at such time (the “Current Expiration Date”) of the Credit Parties’ desire to extend the Expiration Date to a date which is not later than the first anniversary of the Current Expiration Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request, and each Lender shall endeavor to respond to such Extension Request, whether affirmatively or negatively (such determination to be in the sole discretion of such Lender and may be separately denied for any Account Party), by notice to RenRe and the Administrative Agent within 10 days of receipt of such request. A Lender that has not affirmatively responded within such 10-day period shall be deemed to have responded negatively. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify RenRe of Lenders’ responses (or deemed responses) and the aggregate amount (the “Rejected Amount”) of the L/C Commitments of the Lenders (the “Rejecting Lenders”) that have not agreed to the Extension Request. If the Rejected Amount exceeds 50% of the Total Commitment (or if ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo shall be a Rejecting Lender), the Current Expiration Date shall not be extended. If the Rejected Amount does not exceed 50% of the Total Commitment, RenRe shall have the right, in consultation with and through the Administrative Agent, prior to the Current Expiration Date, as the case may be, to request one or more Lenders that have agreed to the requested extension (the “Accepting Lenders”) to increase their L/C Commitments by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Rejected Amount. Each Accepting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to increase its L/C Commitment by an amount not to exceed the amount requested by RenRe, which offer shall be made by notice from such Accepting Lender to the Administrative Agent, not later than 10 days after such Accepting Lender is notified of such request by the Administrative Agent, specifying the amount of the offered increase in such Accepting Lender’s L/C Commitment. Such increase shall be effected on the Current Expiration Date by a pro rata assignment of a Rejecting Lender’s or Rejecting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Advances and L/C Commitment pursuant to Section 9.5 (without regard to the minimum assignment amount set forth therein), which each Rejecting Lender agrees to make. If the aggregate amount of the offered increases in the L/C Commitments of all Accepting Lenders does not equal the Rejected Amount, RenRe shall have the right, prior to the Current Expiration Date, to require the Rejecting Lender or Rejecting Lenders to assign on a pro rata basis its or

their Loans and L/C Commitments to one or more Eligible Assignees (the “Purchasing Lenders”) pursuant to Section 9.5, each of which Purchasing Lenders shall have a L/C Commitment not less than $5,000,000, and which Purchasing Lenders shall have aggregate L/C Commitments not greater than the Rejected Amount less any increases in the L/C Commitments of the Accepting Lenders. Such assignment shall be effected on the Current Expiration Date. Each Purchasing Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the extension of the Current Expiration Date. If there remains any Rejected Amount after giving effect to the assignments to the Accepting Lenders and the Purchasing Lenders described in this Section 2.19, on or before the Current Expiration Date, RenRe may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to reduce the Total Commitment by such remaining Rejected Amount, and, if RenRe so elects, on the Current Expiration Date, the Account Parties shall cause all Obligations owing to the applicable Rejecting Lender or Rejecting Lenders to be repaid, and upon such repayment, the Total Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such remaining Rejected Amount. If the conditions to extension set forth above have been met, then, on the Current Expiration Date, the Expiration Date shall be deemed to have been extended to, and shall be, the date specified in such Extension Request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after any such extension advise the Lenders of any changes in the Total Commitments and the L/C Commitment Percentages. No such extension shall become effective unless, immediately upon the proposed effectiveness thereof, the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would be less than the Total Commitment.

Section 2.20 Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any termination of the L/C Commitments, the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until (i) the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit and (ii) the Termination Date shall have occurred.

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to extend the credit contemplated hereby, RenRe and each Account Party individually and severally represents and warrants with respect to itself and to RIHL (RenRe or any such Account Party, in each case together with RIHL, is referred to collectively as a “Covered Credit Party”) as follows:

Section 4.1 Organization and Power.

(a) Each Covered Credit Party (i) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and, to the extent such concept applies, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (ii) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or in which the conduct of its business requires it to so qualify or be licensed except where the failure to so qualify or be licensed would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) has all requisite power and authority (including without limitation all governmental licenses, permits and other approvals) to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to have any license, permit or other approval would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

THE AGENTS

Section 8.1 Authorization and Action. Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Credit Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act (in the case of the Administrative Agent) or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders where unanimity is required, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

Section 8.2 Agents’ Reliance, etc. Neither any Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Credit Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Credit Documents; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as

to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Credit Document on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Credit Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram or telecopy) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 8.3 ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and Affiliates. With respect to its L/C Commitments and the Letter of Credit Advances, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo in its individual capacity. ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.6(a) and Section 4.6(b) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Indemnification.

(a) To the extent that RenRe for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 9.3(b) to be paid by it to each Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to each Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as set forth in Section 8.5(b)) of such unpaid amount.

(b) For purposes of this Section 8.5, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at the time such indemnity or reimbursement is sought, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amounts of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iii) their respective Unused L/C Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Person promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Person as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Person for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Person for such other Lender’s

ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.5 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

Section 8.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and RenRe and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject (so long as no Event of Default exists) to the consent of RenRe (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.6 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed at any time and no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed and agreed to serve as such, the Administrative Agent shall be the Collateral Agent. If the Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or other named agent, other than the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, ceases to be a Lender hereunder, it shall be deemed to have resigned as such agent and no replacement shall be appointed.

Section 8.7 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any further notice to or consent from any of the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Document that may be necessary or as it may deem to be appropriate to perfect, maintain and protect the security interests in and Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (acting directly or through the Collateral Agent) to release any security interest in or Lien on the Collateral held by it pursuant to the Security Documents (i) upon the occurrence of all of the following: (A) the termination of the Issuing Bank’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, (B) the payment in full of the Obligations and (C) the satisfaction and termination in full of all other Letter of Credit Outstandings, (ii) that is sold or disposed of as permitted hereunder or any other Credit Document or to which the requisite number or percentage of Lenders have consented or (iii) otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Credit Document. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release Collateral pursuant to this subsection (b).

Section 8.8 Other Named Agents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or any other named agents, other than the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their capacities as such shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Manual delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

The Administrative Agent or RenRe may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or other communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes RenRe to deliver any and all notices, statements, consents or other communications required or allowed on behalf of each of the Credit Parties pursuant to the Credit Documents, and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall be fully protected in relying upon any such notice, statement, consent or other communication delivered by RenRe.

Section 9.3 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) RenRe and each Account Party agrees whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, to pay on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and of the Issuing Bank in connection with (A) the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Credit Documents (B) the administration, monitoring and review of the Collateral, (C) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral and (D) the creation, perfection and maintenance of the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, including, without limitation, lien search, filing and recording fees (including without limitation (x) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals, long-distance telephone calls, wire transfers, facsimile transmissions and copying and with respect to the engagement of appraisers, consultants, auditors or similar Persons by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent at any time, whether before or after the Restatement Effective Date, to render opinions concerning the value of the Collateral, and (y) the Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Bank with respect thereto (including local Bermuda and Pennsylvania counsel), with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as to their rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Credit Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Credit Party or with other creditors of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or Event of Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default or Event of Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses of each Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Credit Documents (including without limitation in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral), whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including without limitation the reasonable Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender with respect thereto).

(b) RenRe agrees whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties and expenses (including without limitation reasonable Attorney Costs) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the actual or

proposed use of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit Advances or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or any transaction financed or supported by (or to be financed or supported by) in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Letters of Credit, or any action, suit or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any Person, whether threatened or initiated, related to any of the foregoing, and in any case whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding or suit or a subject of any such inquiry or investigation, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.3(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are consummated. Each of RenRe and the Account Parties also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the credit facilities provided hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including Intralinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party in making any such transmission as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All of the foregoing indemnified costs of any Indemnified Party shall be paid or reimbursed by RenRe, as and when incurred and within ten (10) Business Days after demand.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in Section 2.7 and this Section 9.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Credit Documents.

Section 9.4 Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to a Credit Party and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 7.3 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare amounts owing hereunder by such Credit Party to be due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3, each Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits of such Credit Party (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of such Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand

under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify RenRe after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including without limitation other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.

Section 9.5 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may, and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by RenRe (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.12) upon at least five (5) Business Days notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its L/C Commitment, its L/C Participation Interest and the Letter of Credit Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, except for any non-pro rata assignment made by any Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 (and any subsequent non-pro rata assignment of the interest so assigned by the Affected Lender) and any other non-pro rata assignment approved by the Administrative Agent and RenRe, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the L/C Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 unless it is an assignment of the entire amount of such assignor’s L/C Commitment, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each assignment made as a result of a demand by RenRe pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be arranged by RenRe after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by RenRe pursuant to Section 2.12 unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the applicable Account Party or other Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances made by such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vi) as a result of such assignment, no Account Party shall be subject to additional amounts under Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.8 and (vii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00. In connection with each assignment permitted hereunder, RenRe agrees to cause to be provided to the assignee, upon request, the opinions described in Section 3.1(i)(I) (whether by a reliance provision in the original opinion or by a reliance letter or new opinion delivered to the assignee).

(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.6, Section 2.8 and Section 9.3 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment and any other rights that are expressly provided hereunder to survive) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Credit Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Credit Party or the performance or observance by any Credit Party of any of its obligations under any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent of the Account Parties, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Commitment of, and principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Credit Party or any Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to RenRe and to the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its L/C Commitment, its L/C Participation Interest and the Letter of Credit Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its L/C Participation Interest) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Credit Parties, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, reimbursement obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the reimbursement obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release any of the Collateral if such release would cause the aggregate Collateral Value to be less than the Letter of Credit Outstandings. Each Lender shall, as agent of the Account Parties solely for the purposes of this Section, record in book entries maintained by such Lender, the name and amount of the participating interest of each Person entitled to receive payments in respect of any participating interests sold pursuant to this Section.

(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.5, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Credit Party furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the Letter of Credit Advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Section 9.6 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or

otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Substitution Event, Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between any of the Credit Parties and the Agents or the Lenders or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Substitution Event, Suspension Event, Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of any Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all references herein to any party shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) none of the Credit Parties shall sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and (ii) any assignees and participants shall have such rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are provided for under and pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.5.

Section 9.8 Survival. All representations, warranties and agreements made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or thereof and the issuance and repayment of the Letters of Credit. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of fees, costs and expenses shall survive the termination of all L/C Commitments and L/C Participation Interests, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment in full of all principal and interest with respect to Letter of Credit Advances, and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

Section 9.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

Section 9.10 Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the provision of this Agreement shall control.

Section 9.11 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential, pursuant to its customary procedures for handling confidential information of a similar nature and in accordance

with safe and sound banking practices, all nonpublic information provided to it by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (a) to its directors, employees and agents and to its auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) at the demand or request of any bank regulatory authority, court or other Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Lender, as may be required pursuant to subpoena or other legal process, or otherwise in order to comply with any applicable Requirements of Law, (c) in connection with any proceeding to enforce its rights hereunder, under any other Credit Document or in any other litigation or proceeding in connection with the Credit Documents, (d) to the Agents or any other Lender, (e) to the extent the same has become publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (f) pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 and (g) subject to an agreement in writing containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11 and for the benefit of any Credit Party, to any counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to such Credit Party, but in no event shall any Collateral Value Report be disclosed pursuant to this sub-section (g).

Section 9.12 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Administrative Agent and RenRe of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

Section 9.13 Disclosure of Information. The Credit Parties agree and consent to the Administrative Agent’s disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications.

Section 9.14 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (A) EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF, (B) SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF SUCH PERSONS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF, BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING THE FEE LETTER, AND (C) MAY NOT BE AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED, CONTRADICTED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

EACH CREDIT PARTY IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND (SUBJECT TO ANY AVAILABLE RIGHT OF APPEAL) BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED OR RELIEF GRANTED THEREBY AND FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. EACH CREDIT PARTY CONSENTS THAT ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO IT AT THE ADDRESS OF ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ATTN: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, AT ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID AND PROPERLY ADDRESSED.
