ARTICLE II

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Terms of Notes. Pursuant to Sections 301 and 303 of the Base Indenture, there is hereby established a series of Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:

(a) Designation. The Securities shall be known and designated, as applicable, as the “7.00% Senior Notes due 2025” (the “Notes”) of the Company.

(b) Form and Denominations. The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form, and the authorized minimum denominations of the Notes shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian

for DTC (the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary’s nominee, duly executed by the Company, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticated by the Trustee. In limited circumstances, the Notes may be represented by notes in certificated form. The Notes shall be denominated in Dollars and payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest shall be made in Dollars.

(c) Maturity Date. The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes shall be payable in full on February 13, 2025, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (each, the “Maturity Date”).

(d) Interest.

(i) The Notes shall bear interest at a rate of 7.00% per year, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the foregoing rate on any overdue principal. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from and including February 13, 2015 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment) and shall be payable in arrears on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning August 13, 2015 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity Date, until the principal of the Notes is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment. Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date shall include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, February 13, 2015) to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the final Maturity Date for the Notes) shall be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount shall be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment shall have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date.

(ii) Adjustments to Interest—Capitalization Ratio.

(A) If, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, as calculated when the complete financial statements with respect to such fiscal quarter are first publicly disclosed by the Parent Guarantor, the ratio of Consolidated Total Long-Term Indebtedness to Capitalization is greater than 0.30:1.00 (a “Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event”), then the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event shall be increased by 1.00%. Such increase in the annual interest rate payable on the Notes shall take effect beginning on the first Business Day following the date of such Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event.

(B) If, as of the end of any fiscal quarter following a Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event, as calculated when the complete financial statements with respect to such fiscal quarter are first publicly disclosed by the Parent Guarantor, the ratio of Consolidated Total Long-Term Indebtedness to Capitalization decreases to less than 0.30:1.00 (a “Capitalization Ratio Decrease Event”), then the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Capitalization Ratio Decrease Event shall be decreased by 1.00%. Such decrease in the annual interest rate payable on the Notes shall take effect beginning on the first Business Day following the date of such Capitalization Ratio Decrease Event.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(d)(ii), in no event shall the total amount of the increase in the annual interest rate payable on the Notes exceed 1.00% with respect to all Capitalization Ratio Triggering Events. For the avoidance of doubt, no annual interest rate increase or decrease attributable to a Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event or Capitalization Ratio Decrease Event shall have any effect on interest that shall have accrued on the Notes to and including the date of such Capitalization Ratio Triggering Event or Capitalization Ratio Decrease Event or have any other retroactive effect.

(iii) Adjustments to Interest—Changes in Ratings.

(A) If (w) the rating of the Notes by A.M. Best (or, in the event that any other Rating Agency has assigned a rating to the Notes, such other Rating Agency) is decreased to, or (x) a Rating Agency initiates a rating at, in each case, a rating set forth on Schedule I (each such event, a “Downgrade Event”), the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Downgrade Event shall increase to a new annual interest rate equal to the sum of (y) the annual interest rate payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date plus (z) the additional interest rate percentage set forth opposite such rating set forth on Schedule I that is in effect immediately following such Downgrade Event.

(B) If any Rating Agency, including A.M. Best, that has assigned a rating to the Notes subsequently increases its rating to any of the threshold ratings set forth on Schedule I (each such event, an “Upgrade Event”), the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Upgrade Event shall decrease to a new annual interest rate equal to the sum of (a) the annual interest rate payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date plus (b) the additional interest rate percentage set forth opposite such rating set forth on Schedule I that is in effect immediately following such Upgrade Event.

(C) If all Rating Agencies cease to provide a rating on the Notes (a “Ratings Termination Event”), the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Ratings Termination Event shall increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, a new annual interest rate equal to the sum of (a) the annual interest rate payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date plus (b) 2.00%.

(D) If, following a Ratings Termination Event, any Rating Agency initiates a rating at a rating set forth on Schedule I (a “Rating Initiation Event”), the annual interest rate payable on the Notes immediately preceding such Rating Initiation Event shall decrease to, or remain at, as the case may be, a new annual interest rate equal to the sum of (a) the annual interest rate payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date plus (b) the additional interest rate percentage set forth opposite such rating set forth on Schedule I that is in effect immediately following such Rating Initiation Event.

(E) If, at any time, one or more Rating Agencies initiates a rating at a rating set forth on Schedule I, such that there is more than one Rating Agency then rating the Notes following such initiation, the additional interest rate percentage corresponding to each such additional rating then assigned to the Notes, and the amount of each such adjustment to the annual interest rate payable on the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.1(d)(iii) thereafter for so long as more than one Rating Agency is then rating the Notes, shall be equal to half the additional interest rate percentage set forth on Schedule I, effective as of the Business Day following the public announcement of such initiation.

(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(d)(iii), in no event shall the total additional interest rate percentage applicable to the annual interest rate payable on the Notes attributable to one or more Downgrade Events exceed 2.00% in the aggregate. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the annual interest rate payable on the Notes be reduced to less than the annual interest rate payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date.

(G) Each adjustment required by this Section 2.1(d)(iii), whether occasioned by the action of A.M. Best or any other Rating Agency, shall be made independently of, but shall be cumulative with, any and all other such adjustments. Each adjustment required by this Section 2.1(d)(iii) shall take effect as of the first Business Day following the public announcement of the event that triggers such adjustment. Except in the event of a Ratings Termination Event (as defined above), no adjustments in the annual interest rate payable on the Notes shall be made solely as a result of any Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no annual interest rate increase or decrease attributable to this Section 2.1(d)(iii) shall have any effect on interest that shall have accrued on the Notes to and including the date of the event that triggers such adjustment or have any other retroactive effect.

(iv) The Company shall provide to the Trustee notice of adjustments to the annual interest rate payable on the Notes reasonably promptly and in accordance with Section 105 of the Base Indenture.

(e) To Whom Interest is Payable. Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which shall be the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) shall be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding such Maturity Date or Redemption Date).

(f) Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under the Indenture is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall initially be $115,000,000.00. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects or in all respects except for the Original Issue Date, issuance price, first date on which interest accrues and the first Interest Payment Date. Additional Securities issued in this manner shall be consolidated with, and shall form a single series with, the Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemptions, unless otherwise specified for such additional Securities in an applicable supplemental indenture, or otherwise designated by the Company, as contemplated by Section 301 of the Base Indenture. The Company shall use a separate “CUSIP” number for any such additional Notes that (a) are not part of the same issue as the Notes within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations sections 1.1275-1(f) and 1.1275-2(k) and (b) have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation, more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount as of their Original Issue Date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes shall, together with the Outstanding Notes, constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

(g) Sinking Fund; Holder Repurchase Right. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Holders.

(h) Forms. The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same.

The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment for the Notes and the place where notices and demands to or upon the Company or the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Notes may be made.

days of any such transaction, the Parent Guarantor shall cause each such Permitted Subsidiary Transferee to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which each such Permitted Subsidiary Transferee (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall fully and unconditionally guarantee all payments on the Notes (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantee”), subject to automatic release in accordance with clause (B) below; provided that no Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is a direct or indirect parent company of the Company shall be required to guarantee the Notes at any time at which and for so long as Third Point Re USA is a Subsidiary of the Company.

(3) upon the completion of any transaction, or other occurrence, following which Third Point Re USA is no longer a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary Guarantor,

(4) upon defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Company’s and the Parent Guarantor’s obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, or

(5) subject to certain limitations, upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then Outstanding and all other obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor then due and owing with respect to the Notes.

(C) Upon any occurrence set forth in clause (B) above, the Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or the Parent Guarantor in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee.

(D) The obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

(k) Event of Default. For the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, and as contemplated by Section 501(6) of the Base Indenture, a new Event of Default shall be added to Section 501 of the Base Indenture as follows:

“failure of any Subsidiary Guarantor to pay the principal on any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Long-Term Indebtedness (other than a default under the Indenture, any Indebtedness owed to the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, or any non-recourse Indebtedness) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such Long-Term Indebtedness so unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; provided that no default or Event of Default shall be deemed to occur with respect to any such Indebtedness that is paid or otherwise acquired or retired (or for which such failure to

pay or acceleration is waived or rescinded) within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the Trustee or from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected thereby;”

Section 2.2 Optional Redemption.

(a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided that the Redemption Price shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

(b) At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, either the Company or the Parent Guarantor may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of each of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date), each discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 0.50%, or 50 basis points; plus, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, such Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding such Redemption Date); provided, however, that in the event the Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal and interest may be made on the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after the Redemption Date for such Note unless both the Company and the Parent Guarantor default in the payment of such interest); and provided, further, that the principal amount of any Note remaining Outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.3 Limitation on Liens.

For the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, a new Section 1008 shall be added to the Base Indenture as follows:

“Section 1008. Limitation on Liens.

(a) So long as any Securities are Outstanding and except in a transaction otherwise governed or permitted by this Indenture, the Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any Indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage or other lien (collectively, a “Lien”) on any voting securities or profit participating equity interests of Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd., a Bermuda company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (“Third Point Re USA”), or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of Third Point Re USA, without providing that the Securities (together with, in the Company’s sole discretion, any other Indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the Company ranking equally with the Securities and existing as of the date hereof or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other Indebtedness for money borrowed secured by such pledge, mortgage or other Lien on the voting securities or profit participating equity interests of Third Point Re USA or such entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of Third Point Re USA. This covenant shall not limit the Company’s ability or the ability of its Subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness or other obligations secured by Liens on assets other than the voting securities or profit participating equity interests of Third Point Re USA or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of Third Point Re USA.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may incur Liens, and Indebtedness or other obligations secured by Liens, on the voting securities or profit participating equity interests of Third Point

Re USA or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of Third Point Re USA without securing the Securities if such Liens arise because of:

(i) claims against any such entity for taxes or assessments or other governmental charges or levies that are not then due and delinquent, that such entity is contesting in good faith, or that are for less than $50.0 million;

(ii) litigation or legal proceedings that any such entity is contesting in good faith or that involve claims against such entity for less than $50.0 million;

(iii) deposits to secure, or in place of, any surety, stay, appeal or customs bonds;

(iv) ordinary conduct of business or the ownership of properties and assets, including Liens incurred in connection with workmen’s compensation, unemployment insurance or other forms of governmental insurance or benefits (provided that such Liens (i) were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and (ii) do not in the aggregate materially detract from the present value of the voting securities or profit participating equity interests subject to such liens); or

(v) any other reason, if securing Indebtedness or other obligations that in the aggregate, at any one time outstanding, do not exceed $50.0 million at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or other obligations.

(c) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Securities under this Section 1008 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien (other than a release following enforcement of remedies in respect of such Lien or the obligations secured by such Lien) that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Securities hereunder.”

Section 2.4 Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a)

(i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless either the Company or the Parent Guarantor has exercised their right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in this Section 2.4 (the “Change of Control Offer”). Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept a Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable.

(ii) In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be purchased, to but excluding the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding such Change of Control Payment Date.

(iii) Unless either the Company or the Parent Guarantor has exercised their right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2, within 30 days following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control but after the public announcement of such pending Change of Control, the Company shall transmit a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Any notice transmitted pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall state (x) the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 20 Business Days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, other than as may be required by law or in the event the purchase date is delayed as provided in the following clause (y) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), and (y) if sent prior to the date of

consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date and that the purchase date may, in the Company’s discretion, be delayed until such time as the Change of Control has occurred.

(b) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described in Section 2.4(e), purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, then the Company or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of such purchase.

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly tendered.

(d) The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Note, but in that event the principal amount of such Note remaining Outstanding after purchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and, upon receipt of a Company Order from the Company, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered (provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof).

(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party, including the Parent Guarantor, makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered under its offer.

(f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.4, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and, notwithstanding any such conflict, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.4 by virtue of such compliance.

CUSIP NO. 88428L AA0		February 13, ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor in interest under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $115,000,000.00) on February 13, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon at a rate of 7.00% per year (subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Indenture hereinafter referred to), accruing from and including February 13, 2015 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment), payable in arrears on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning August 13, 2015 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity Date, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the foregoing rate on any overdue principal.

Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, February 13, 2015) to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the final Maturity Date for the Notes) will be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date.

Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which shall be the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to whom principal of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is payable (subject to the rights of the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding such Maturity Date or Redemption Date). Any such interest not so timely paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date entitled to such interest by virtue of having been such Holder, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest

to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and/or interest on this Note shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent has received at or prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay such installment and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. At the option of the Company or the Guarantor, payment of any such installment may be made through the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated to the Company and the Guarantor by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of securities of the Company designated as its 7.00% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of February 13, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 13, 2015, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture (and all indentures from time to time supplemental thereto) for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $115,000,000.00. The Company may at any time issue other debt securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts, including debt securities having the same terms as the Notes (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) so that such additional securities shall be consolidated with the Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemption; provided, however, that the Company shall use a separate CUSIP for any such additional Notes that (a) are not part of the same issue as the Notes within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations sections 1.1275-1(f) and 1.1275-2(k) and (b) have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation, more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount as of the Original Issue Date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes shall, together with the Outstanding Notes, constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

Optional Redemption of Notes

At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, either the Company or the Guarantor may, at its option, redeem the Notes of this series in whole or in part at any time and from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof; provided that the principal amount of any such Note remaining Outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

On the Redemption Date, the Notes to be redeemed will become due and payable and, unless both the Company and the Guarantor default in their respective obligations with respect to payment of the Redemption Price, from and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. In the event the Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal and interest may be made on the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after the Redemption Date for such Note unless both the Company and the Guarantor default in the payment of such interest). On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor is required to deposit with a Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. If the Company or the Guarantor is redeeming less than all the Notes, the Trustee must select the Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, subject to the procedures of the Depositary.

Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless either the Company or the Guarantor has exercised their right to redeem the Notes in accordance with their terms, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, as provided in the Indenture. Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept a Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be purchased, to but excluding the Change of Control Payment Date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding such Change of Control Payment Date). The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Note, but in that event the principal amount of such Note remaining Outstanding after purchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

General Terms

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction, discharge and defeasance at any time of the entire Indebtedness of this Note and certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture or the Notes of any series thereunder may be amended or supplemented, and compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived, in each case as provided in the Indenture.

The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Holders.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or this Note only if (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of this series make a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request (as determined by the Trustee in its reasonable discretion). The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest hereon on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed herein or, in the case of redemption, the applicable Redemption Date.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company or the Guarantor in any Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company or otherwise in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the

name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
