amount of £85,000,000, which Letter of Credit was previously cancelled, in each

amend the Letter of Credit described in clause (a)(i)(x) above to change the

Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly

participate in such increase or new issuance or agrees to do so in an amount
less than its Applicable Percentage, the Agent shall notify the other Lenders
and shall give the other Lenders an option to increase their offered amount of
such increase or new issuance so that the requested increase or new issuance

amount requested by the Borrower. If the Lenders agree to an increase or new
issuance as set forth in this paragraph, the Agent will amend or issue the
applicable Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.3, and each Lender that
agrees to such increase or new issuance shall receive the fees payable pursuant
to the Fee Letter.
(b)    The Agent shall not issue a Letter of Credit except with Lloyd’s as the
beneficiary thereof. Once an Expiry Notice has been issued or the Letter of
Credit has an expiration date occurring on or after December 31, 2023, the Agent

irrevocable and in each case shall be made without counterclaim or set-off by
such Lender.
2.2    Reimbursement Obligations. (1) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit (a
“Drawing Request”), the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the
receipt of such Drawing Request and not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on
the date which is three Business Days after the date notice of such Drawing
Request is given to the Borrower (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”), the
Borrower shall provide the Agent the amount of the Drawing Request in the
currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued. Any notice given
by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) may be given by telephone if
immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such
notice.
(a)    (1)    With respect to any Drawing Request, if funds are not received by
the Agent from the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
Reimbursement Date in the amount and currency of such Drawing Request, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of such Drawing Request, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount. Each Lender shall make funds available
in the applicable currency to the Agent in an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) on
the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent (the “Letter of Credit
Advance Date”). To the extent that funds are received by the Agent from the
Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the Letter of Credit Advance Date,
the Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit on such date. To the extent that the Agent has not delivered
funds to any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit on behalf of a Lender on the
Letter of Credit Advance Date, if funds are received by the Agent from such
Lender: (i) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the Letter of Credit Advance Date,
the Agent shall make such funds available to such beneficiary on the next
Business Day; (ii) prior to 2:00 p.m. (London time) on any Business Day after
the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Agent shall make those funds available to
such beneficiary on such Business Day; and (iii) after 2:00 p.m. (London time)
on any Business Day after the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Agent shall
make those funds available to such beneficiary on the next Business Day
following such Business Day.
(i)    Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Letter of Credit
Application, the Borrower agrees to pay the amount of any Drawing Request under
a Letter of Credit to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders no later than the
time specified in this Agreement.

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount, the Borrower shall have a
Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount from the
Lenders to the extent that they have provided funds with respect to such Letter
of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i). Reimbursement Obligations shall be due
and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate. Any payment by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement
Obligation shall be made to the Agent and upon receipt applied by the Agent in
accordance with Section 2.2(c). Such interest shall be calculated with respect
to actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.
(b)    At any time after the Agent has made a payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Drawing Request under the applicable Letter of Credit in respect of such payment
in accordance with Section 2.2(b), if the Agent receives any payment in respect
of the related Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon (whether directly
from the Borrower or otherwise, including Collateral applied thereto by the
Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof in the same currency as those received by the Agent.
(c)    If any payment received by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
(including any payment under Section 5.3) and such payment or the proceeds of
such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then (x) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (y) each Lender shall pay to the Agent its
Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full
of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
2.3    Procedure for Issuance. (1) Prior to the issuance of a Letter of Credit
or an amendment to a Letter of Credit described in Section 2.1(a) and as a
condition of such issuance or amendment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
a Letter of Credit Application signed by the Borrower, together with such other
documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof and hereof,
and the proposed form and content of such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. The documents so delivered shall be in compliance
with the requirements set forth in Section 2.1, and shall specify therein (i)
the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (ii) the effective date of
such amendment or issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, and (iii) the
aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations which are outstanding and which
will be outstanding after giving effect to the requested amendment or Letter of
Credit issuance. With respect to an amendment to or issuance of a Letter of
Credit described in the second paragraph of Section 2.1(a), such documents shall
also include a certification by the Borrower that (w) the representations and
warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as
if then made (except to the extent relating solely to an earlier date, in which
case such representation and warranty shall have been true and

21
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

correct as of such earlier date, and except to the extent qualified by
materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and
warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), (x) no Default, Event of
Default or Full Collateralization Event shall exist before or after giving
effect to such issuance or amendment, (y) confirmation from Lloyd’s that the
Managing Agent has submitted all necessary documents regarding its plan to
provide Funds at Lloyd’s and (z) if requested by a Lender, such opinions,
certificates and resolutions as may be reasonably requested. The delivery of the
foregoing documents and information shall constitute a “Letter of Credit
Application” for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions
of Section 2.1 and provided that (A) the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 9.1 hereof have been satisfied and (B) the Eligible Collateral in the
Collateral Account has a Collateral Value not less than the Required Collateral
Amount after giving effect to the increase in the stated amount or issuance of
such Letter of Credit, the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall within the
timeframe set forth in Section 2.1, issue or amend a Letter of Credit on behalf
of the Borrower in accordance with the Agent’s usual and customary business
practices. The Agent shall give the Lenders prompt written notice of the
issuance of or amendment to any Letter of Credit.
(a)    The Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Letter of
Credit and each amendment to a Letter of Credit on behalf of each Lender, except
to the extent a Lender has not agreed to increase the stated amount of such
Letter of Credit or issue a new Letter of Credit pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 2.1(a). The Agent shall use the Applicable Percentage of
each Lender under each Letter of Credit as its “Commitment”. The Agent shall not
amend any Letter of Credit to change the “Commitment” of a Lender or add or
delete a Lender liable thereunder unless such amendment is done in connection
with an assignment in accordance with Section 12.6 or in connection with any
amendment or issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to the second paragraph of
Section 2.1(a). Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Lender with
full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the
Agent to issue, execute and deliver, as the case may be, each Letter of Credit
and each amendment to a Letter of Credit and to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit, except to the extent a Lender has
not agreed to increase the stated amount of such Letter of Credit or issue a new
Letter of Credit pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 2.1(a). Upon
request, each Lender shall execute such powers of attorney or other documents as
any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit may reasonably request to evidence the
authority of the Agent to execute and deliver such Letter of Credit and any
amendment or other modification thereto on behalf of the Lenders.
(b)    The Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters
of Credit and the documents associated therewith in accordance with Section 11.
2.4    Nature of the Agent’s and Lenders’ Obligations. (1) Each Lender and the
Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Agent
shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight
draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or
to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or
the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither
the Agent nor any of its respective Affiliates shall be liable for (i) any
action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the
approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable;

22
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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
Letter of Credit Application.
(a)    As between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent, the Borrower
assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of
Credit by, the beneficiary of the Letters of Credit; provided, however, that the
Borrower may have a claim against the Agent and the Agent may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to
consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower
proves were caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining
whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be responsible for: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of a
Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason, (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit to comply fully with conditions required to be satisfied by any Person
other than the Agent in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (v) errors in the interpretation
of technical terms or (vi) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit.
(b)    In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Agent under
or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if
taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Agent or any Lender under any
resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its
obligations hereunder to the Lenders or any such Person.
(c)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing in respect of any Letter of
Credit immediately when due, under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, any of the following circumstances: (w) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, (x) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may
have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee
may be acting), any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the
Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (y) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the Agent has determined in
good faith complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of
Credit, even if such document should later prove to have been forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect or (z) the surrender or
impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms
hereof.

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Illegality. If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for any
Lender or any of its Affiliates to perform any of its obligations as
contemplated by this Agreement or to maintain or to allow to remain outstanding
any Letter of Credit:
(i)    such Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent and shall not
thereafter be obliged to issue any Letter of Credit; and
(ii)    if such Lender so requires, the Borrower shall on such date as such
Lender specifies to the Borrower and the Agent which, if allowed by law, is on
no less than 15 Business Days’ notice, ensure that the Letter of Credit
Obligations of such Lender under or in respect of each outstanding Letter of
Credit are reduced to zero or repaid in full.
(e)    Letter of Credit Documents. If there is any inconsistency between this
Agreement and any Letter of Credit Application, reimbursement agreement or other
Letter of Credit-related document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
SECTION 3    FEES.
3.1    Letter of Credit Fees. (1) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with, subject to Section 3.4, its
Applicable Percentage in Dollars a Letter of Credit Fee with respect to each
Letter of Credit from and including the Effective Date until the date such
Letter of Credit is fully drawn by the beneficiary, canceled or expired, in an
amount equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the aggregate amount
from time to time available to be drawn on such Letter of Credit. The Letter of
Credit Fees (i) shall be calculated with respect to actual days elapsed on the
basis of a 360-day year and (ii) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and upon the expiration,
cancellation or utilization in full of such Letter of Credit. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option,
by notice to the Borrower, declare that the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate
shall accrue at the Default Rate; provided, that during the continuance of an
Event of Default under Section 10.1(a), (b), (e), (f), (g) or (i), the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall accrue at the Default Rate without
any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender.
(a)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own
account, such fees and expenses with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for
the account of the Borrower, as the Agent customarily requires in connection
with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of
credit in similar situations.
3.2    Annual Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the annual fee set forth in
the Fee Letter described in clause (i) of such definition. Fees not paid when
due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid.
3.3    Upfront Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, the
Participation Fee in the amount and at the time set forth in the Fee Letter
described in clause (ii) of such definition.

24
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.4    Defaulting Lender. If at any time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (and notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement), (i) any payment of Reimbursement Obligations with
respect to Letters of Credit (including through sharing of payments pursuant to
Section 10.3, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) shall, if
the Borrower so directs at the time of making such payment, be applied first to
amounts owed to Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender, as if the amount owed
to such Defaulting Lender hereunder in respect of Reimbursement Obligations were
zero, and then to amounts owed to such Defaulting Lender; and (ii) such
Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage shall be deemed to be zero for
purposes of calculating Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 3.1 in respect
of each day on which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting
Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fees for any such
day. Any payment made pursuant to this Section shall be taken into account for
purposes of calculating the Letter of Credit Fee. The provisions of this Section
3.4 do not limit, but are in addition to, any other claim or right that the
Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 4    COLLATERAL
4.1    Collateral Account.
(a)    If a Full Collateralization Event or a Partial Collateralization Event
occurs, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of the occurrence of such
Full Collateralization Event or Partial Collateralization Event, deposit
sufficient Eligible Collateral in the Collateral Account to provide Eligible
Collateral having a Collateral Value equal to or greater than Required
Collateral Amount and failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default.
Thereafter, the Borrower shall at all times maintain Eligible Collateral in the
Collateral Account having a Collateral Value of not less than the applicable
Required Collateral Amount. If at any time the Required Collateral Amount for
the outstanding Letters of Credit shall exceed (the amount of such excess, the
“Collateral Shortfall”) the Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral in the
Collateral Account, the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower, by
telephone or in writing, of such Collateral Shortfall, and the Borrower shall
within three Business Days after receipt of such notice deposit additional
Eligible Collateral in the Collateral Account in an amount sufficient to
eliminate the Collateral Shortfall, and failure to do so shall constitute an
Event of Default.
(b)    So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
if at any time the Obligations become due and payable hereunder, the Borrower
may request that any funds in the Collateral Account be applied to the amount
that is due and payable, including with respect to any Reimbursement
Obligations, and the Agent shall consent to such release if, in each case, after
giving effect to such application the Borrower is in compliance with Section
8.6; provided, however, notwithstanding the absence of any Borrower request, the
Agent shall have the right, upon five days’ prior notice to the Borrower, to
apply all or any part of the Eligible Collateral held in the Collateral Account
for the amount which is due and payable unless the Borrower shall object in
writing and otherwise pay the amount due and payable within such five-day
period. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent
may apply (without prior notice to the Borrower) all or any part of the Eligible
Collateral held in the Collateral Account pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 10.3

25
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
at any time the Collateral Value exceeds (the amount of such excess, the
“Collateral Excess”) the Required Collateral Amount, the Borrower can request
the release of such Collateral Excess and the Agent shall consent to the release
of Collateral from the Collateral Account if, in each case, after giving effect
to such application the Borrower is in compliance with Section 8.6; provided,
however, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default,
the Agent shall have no obligation to release or consent to any such release and
shall have sole control over any such Collateral Excess, including the
application of such amount pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.3.
SECTION 5    MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.
5.1    Making of Payments. All payments of Reimbursement Obligations and
interest thereon and of all fees, shall be made by the Borrower in immediately
available funds, without setoff, defense, recoupment or counterclaim, at the
office specified by (i) with respect to the Participation Fee, each Lender and
(ii) with respect to all other Fees, Reimbursement Obligations and interest
thereon, the Agent, in each case not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due (or
such later time as such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, may agree); and
funds received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by a Lender
or the Agent on the next following Business Day. Subject to Section 3.4, the
Agent shall promptly remit to each applicable Lender its share of all such
payments received in collected funds by the Agent for the account of such
Lender. All payments under Section 6.1 shall be made by the Borrower directly to
the Lender entitled thereto.
5.2    Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect
to any Reimbursement Obligation or any Fee falls due on a day that is not a
Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following
Business Day and, in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, additional interest
shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.
5.3    Setoff; Ratable Payments. (a) The Borrower agrees that the Agent and each
Lender have all rights of setoff and bankers’ lien provided by Applicable Law,
and in addition thereto, the Borrower agrees that at any time any Event of
Default exists, the Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any
Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, whether or not then due, any balances,
credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter with
the Agent or such Lender.
(b)    If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it
with respect to its Reimbursement Obligations (other than payments received
pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 6.1) in a greater proportion than that received by
any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase
Reimbursement Obligations or participation interests in Letters of Credit held
by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its
ratable proportion of all Letter of Credit Obligations. If any Lender, whether
in connection with setoff or amounts that might be subject to setoff or
otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such
amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon
demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the
benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Applicable
Percentages. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or
otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

5.4    Taxes.
(a)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender”
includes the Agent and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If
any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall
be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such
deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the
applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made. As of the date hereof, amounts
paid by the Borrower hereunder are not subject to any withholding for any Taxes.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at
the option of the Recipient, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other
Taxes.
(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each
Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly
upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed
or assessed, and promptly upon notice by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrower
shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or
Governmental Authority; provided that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be
under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Borrower. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
hereby indemnifies the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within
ten days after demand therefor, for any amount that a Lender for any reason
fails to pay indefeasibly to the Agent as required by Section 5.4(e). Each
Lender shall indemnify the Borrower, and shall make payment in respect thereof,
within ten days after demand therefor, for any amount that the Borrower is
required to pay to the Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not
already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to

27
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6(b) relating
to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent
in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Agent
to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under
this clause (e).
(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.4, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent.
(g)    Status of Lenders. (1) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower
or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 5.4(g)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) and 5.4(h) below) shall not be required if,
in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission
would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
A.    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
B.    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the
following is applicable:

treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit

Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender
is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may
provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
C.    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of
any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together
with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to
permit the Borrower and the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h)    Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any
Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed
by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no
time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on
behalf of any Recipient, or have any obligation to pay to any Recipient, any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Recipient, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.4 (including by
the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4), it shall pay to
the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the
amount paid over pursuant to this clause (i) (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that
such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (i), in no event will a
Recipient be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to
this clause (i) the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the
Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or
additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (i)
shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(j)    VAT.    (i)    All amounts expressed to be payable under a Credit
Document by any Party to a Lender or the Agent which (in whole or in part)
constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be
exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly,
subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply
made by any Lender or the Agent to any Party under a Credit Document and such
Lender or the Agent is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the
VAT, that Party must pay to such Lender or the Agent (in addition to and at the
same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to
the amount of the VAT (and such Lender or the Agent must promptly provide an
appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or
Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender or Agent (the “Receiver”) under a
Credit Document, and any Party other than the Receiver (the “Relevant Party”) is
required by the terms of any Credit Document to pay an amount equal to the
consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to
reimburse or indemnify the Receiver in respect of that consideration):
A.    (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax
authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the
same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the
VAT. The Receiver must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the
Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiver receives
from the relevant tax authority which the Receiver reasonably determines relates
to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
B.    (where the Receiver is the person required to account to the relevant tax
authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from
the Receiver, pay to the Receiver an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that
supply but only to the extent that the Receiver reasonably determines that it is
not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect
of that VAT.
C. Where a Credit Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender
or the Agent for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify
(as the case may be) such Lender or Agent for the full amount of such cost or
expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that
such Lender or Agent reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or
repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
D.    Any reference in this clause (j) to any “Party” shall mean any party
hereto and, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for
VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise
requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time
(the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added
Tax Act 1994 or any equivalent legislation in any applicable jurisdiction).
E.    In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Agent to any Party under a
Credit Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or the Agent, that Party
must promptly provide such Lender or Agent with details of that Party’s VAT
registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection
with such Lender’s or the Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such
supply.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(k)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or
the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
other obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.
(l)    Updates. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it
previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.4 expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to
do so.
SECTION 6    INCREASED COSTS.
6.1    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or
participated in by, any Lender or the Agent;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (except to the extent such Taxes are
Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition
of “Excluded Taxes” or Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the Agent or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Letter of Credit
Obligation or of maintaining its obligation of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of reimbursement
obligations, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or
other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Lender, to a level below
that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with

32
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered
(even if implemented prior to the absolute date such implementation is required
by such Change in Law).
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or other
Recipient setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and a
calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error; provided a Lender shall not be required to
provide information and detail that such Lender is not legally allowed to
disclose, is confidential, or price-sensitive in relation to listed shares or
other instruments issued by that Lender or any of its Affiliates. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or other
Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s, or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or other
Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender,
or other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or
other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).
6.2    Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to
fund and maintain its funding of its Letter of Credit Obligations in any manner
it sees fit and at any lending office or branch it deems appropriate.
6.3    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 6.1 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified
Tax or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.4, then such Lender shall (at the
request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce any amount payable pursuant to Section
6.1 or 5.4, or illegality, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
6.4    Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and
statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Lenders

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation
under Sections 6.1, and the provisions of such Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

required tax returns, and all Taxes, assessments and other governmental charges
due from it have been fully paid, except for Taxes that are being contested in

SECTION 11    THE AGENT.
11.1    Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby appoints ING
Bank N.V., London Branch, as agent and hereby authorizes the Agent to take such
action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit
Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders expressly agree that
the Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of any Lender in respect of the Credit
Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other
Credit Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Agent or any
Lender except as expressly set forth herein.
11.2    Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not
be liable for any action taken or

44
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts.
11.3    Liability of Agent; Credit Decision. No Agent-Related Person shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Credit
Documents: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No
Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into or verify: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the issuance of any
Letter of Credit; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of the Borrower contained herein or in any other Credit Document;
(iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 9, except receipt
of items required to be delivered to Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectibility hereof
or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writing furnished
in connection with any Credit Document or any of the Collateral; and the Agent
does not make any representation of any kind or character with respect to any
such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Agent may execute any of its duties
under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys
in fact and shall not be answerable to any Lender, the Borrower or any other
Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact
selected with reasonable care. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting
in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement
(whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the
proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the
foregoing, the Agent shall not have any responsibility for confirming the
accuracy of any compliance certificate or other document or instrument received
by it under the Credit Documents. The Agent may treat the payee of any
obligation owing under a Credit Document as the holder thereof until notice of
transfer shall have been filed with the Agent signed by such payee in form
satisfactory to the Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently
and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such
information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set
forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to
keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, and no Agent shall have any liability to any Lender with respect
thereto.
11.4    Enforcement Actions. If the Agent receives from the Borrower or any
Lender a notice of an Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly give each
Lender notice thereof. The obligations of the Agent under the Credit Documents
are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with
respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in
Section 10.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Agent shall take such action to enforce its Lien on the Collateral
and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required
Lenders. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as
it deems appropriate and in the best interest of the Lenders. In no event,
however, shall the Agent be required to take any action in violation of
Applicable Law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and the Agent shall
in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under
any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its
indemnification from

45
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses
and any other protection it requires against all costs, expense, and liability
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default, Event of Default,
Full Collateralization Event or Partial Collateralization Event exists unless
notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in
which the Credit Documents do not require the Agent to take specific action, the
Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in
taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of
any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the
Credit Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and other holders of
obligations under or supported by the Credit Documents.
11.5    Agent and Its Affiliates. The Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender
and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it
were not the Agent, and the Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or
any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent under the Credit
Documents.
11.6    Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages, indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons
harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or
incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions
contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the
extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to
the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. The Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the
account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such
Lender to the Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations,
indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts
owed to the Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents.
11.7    Resignation of the Agent and Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon
any such resignation of the Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent; provided that in no event shall any such successor be
a Defaulting Lender. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which may be any
Lender hereunder that is willing to serve as the Agent or any commercial bank,
or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Agent under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent thereunder. After any
retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 and
all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Agent, but no successor Agent shall in any event be liable or

46
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

responsible for any actions of its predecessor. If the Agent resigns and no
successor is appointed within 45 days, the rights and obligations of the Agent
shall be automatically assumed by the Required Lenders and (i) the Borrower
shall be directed to make all payments due each Lender hereunder directly to
such Lender and (ii) such Agent’s rights in the Collateral Documents shall be
assigned without representation, recourse or warranty to the Lenders as their
interests may appear.
11.8    Authorization to Release, Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to (a) release any Lien covering
any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Credit
Documents and (b) release Liens on the Collateral following termination or
expiration of all Letters of Credit and payment in full in cash of all
outstanding Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents.
11.9    Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the
Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents to any of its Affiliates; provided that the Agent may only delegate to
an Affiliate which is approved by Lloyd’s to act as a letter of credit agent.
Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and
employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be
entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other
protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Section 12.
11.10    Reports. Upon the occurrence of a Full Collateralization Event or a
Partial Collateralization Event, the Agent shall provide the Lenders with a
monthly report regarding the Collateral Value in form and substance similar to
the report provided under the Existing Agreement. The Agent shall advise the
Lenders of its quarterly calculation of the Letter of Credit Fees.     
11.11    Existing Security Agreement. The parties hereto hereby agree that all
references to the “Collateral Agent” in the Existing Security Agreement shall be
deemed to be references to ING Bank N.V., London Branch, as Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, and Citibank Europe PLC hereby assigns to ING
Bank N.A., London Branch all of its right, title and interest in its capacity as
collateral agent under the Existing Security Agreement.
SECTION 12    GENERAL.
12.1    Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in
the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or
remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with
respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Lenders having an aggregate
Applicable Percentage of not less than the aggregate Applicable Percentage
expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such
designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders and,
in the case of an amendment or other modification, the Borrower and then any
such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment,
modification, waiver or consent shall (i) extend the scheduled expiry date of

Obligation or any interest or fees payable hereunder, (ii) reduce any
Reimbursement Obligation, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable
hereunder, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, (iv) amend
this Section 12.1 or (v) reduce the aggregate Applicable Percentage required to
effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent or change the definition of
“Required Lenders” without, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (v)
above, the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby. No provision of
Section 11 or other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document
affecting the Agent in its capacity as such or relating to the rights or duties
of the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived
without the consent of the Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder except the Applicable Percentage of any
Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such
Lender and any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender
more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender.
12.2    Confirmations. The Borrower and each Lender agree from time to time,
upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in
writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations payable by the Borrower to such Lender.
12.3    Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given
by mail, five days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified

means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section; provided that
any notice given pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be effective only upon

12.4    Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the
preparation and execution of the Credit Documents, and any amendment, waiver or
consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are
consummated, together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by the
Agent in connection with collateral filing fees and lien searches, and the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and each Lender, all costs and expenses
incurred or paid by the Agent, such Lender or such holder, including reasonable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws involving the
Borrower as a debtor thereunder). The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the
Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, financial advisors, and consultants (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”)
against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and
expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of
counsel for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable and documented expenses of
litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party
thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such
litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any
Credit Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or the direct
or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Letter of
Credit, other than those which arise from (i) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party claiming indemnification or any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents or other representatives, (ii) a claim brought by
the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of the obligations of
such Indemnitee or of any of its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Credit
Document or (iii) any dispute solely between or among Indemnitees other than any
claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower. The
Borrower, upon demand by the Agent or any Lender at any time, shall reimburse
the Agent or such Lender for any reasonable and documented legal or other
expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of
counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or
defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating
to the foregoing) except to the extent such expenses are directly due to (i) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking reimbursement or any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives, (ii) a
claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of
the obligations of such Indemnitee or of any of its Affiliates hereunder or

of the Borrower. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower agrees
not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. The

Credit Obligations; provided that the Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled
to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the
interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of
the following conditions shall have been met:

49
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)    the Assignee shall have complied with the requirements set forth in
Section 5.4, if applicable;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations being assigned
are not less than $50,000,000 or, if less, 100% of such Lender’s Letter of
Credit Obligations and such assignment shall be pro rata among all of such
Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations.
(iii)    five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Agent and the
assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after notice of such assignment
and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related
information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower
and the Agent by such assigning Lender and the Assignee;
(iv)    five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Agent shall
agree) shall have passed after the Assignee shall have provided the Agent with
all “know your client” information the Agent may have requested and the Agent
shall have consented to such Assignee;
(v)    the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered
to the Borrower and the Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit B (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required
to be delivered thereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted
by the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and, if required
pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, the Borrower; and
(vi)    in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee other than an
Affiliate of the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall
have paid the Agent a processing fee of $3,500.
From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met,
(1) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and
delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (2) the assigning Lender, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and
delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from
its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment of all of its
Letter of Credit Obligations, shall cease to be a Lender (but shall continue to
have all rights and obligations under provisions hereof which by their terms
survive the termination hereof)) and the Agent shall amend any outstanding
Letters of Credit to reflect the Applicable Percentages of such Assignee and
Assignor.
The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at the office of the Agent a copy of each Assignment Agreement
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all

50
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6 or any other
provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank or other
central bank; provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve
Bank or other central bank shall release the transferor Lender from its
obligations hereunder or under the Letters of Credit.
(b)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Eligible
Assignees participating interests in any Letter of Credit Obligation owing to
such Lender, the direct or participation interest of such Lender in any Letter
of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing
any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”); provided
that (i) any Lender selling any such participating interest shall give notice
thereof to the Borrower, (ii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Letter
of Credit Obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations hereunder, (iv) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid
directly to such Lender and (v) no Participant shall have any direct or indirect
voting or consent rights hereunder. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the
requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement that
such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of
acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right
of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this
Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Lender; provided that such right of setoff shall be
subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the
Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 5.3. The
Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.4 and Section 6 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant
shall receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 6 than would
have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations or
other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as
the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall not have any responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.

51
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    Prohibited Assignments and Participations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Lender may assign, or sell a participation in,
any of its rights or obligations hereunder to the Borrower, or any Affiliate
thereof.
(d)    Invalid Transfers. Any purported assignment or participation that is not
in accordance with Section 12.6 shall be null and void.
12.7    Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 6.1, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.4, (c) any single Lender does not consent to an amendment or waiver
that, pursuant to section 12.1 requires the consent of each Lender and the
Required Lenders have consented to such amendment or waiver, and (d) any Lender
ceases to be a Lloyd’s Approved Bank, or (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 12.6), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i)     the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 12.6(a)(vi);
(ii) such Lender shall have received (x) payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations and accrued interest and Fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and (y) evidence satisfactory to such Lender that it has been
released from all liability under the Letters of Credit;
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 6.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.4, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

12.8    Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any
claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or
otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document (except, as to any other Credit Document, as expressly set forth
therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

52

12.9    Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations of the Borrower
and rights of the Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Credit
Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by
Applicable Law.
12.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of

counterpart thereof.
12.11    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent and
the successors and assigns of the Lenders and the Agent, except that the
Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender.
12.12    Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are
several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken
by any Lender pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a
partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.
12.13    Confidentiality. Each Lender and the Agent agrees to hold any
confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to
other Lenders and their respective Affiliates (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such information and instructed to keep such information
confidential), (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional
advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory officials, (d) to any Person as
requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e)
to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a
party, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as this Section 12.13 to (i) such Lender’s direct or indirect, actual or
prospective, contractual counterparties in swap, derivative or securitization
agreements relating to the Borrower and its obligations, or to legal counsel,
accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, or any
credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, and (ii)
any Person who becomes or might become a successor Agent pursuant to Section
11.7 or  a Participant or Assignee, pursuant to Section 12.6, or (g) to any
Federal Reserve Bank or central bank granted a security interest in a Lender’s
rights hereunder.
12.14    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

(a)    Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it
will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or
description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or
otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing
in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the
transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of
the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any action, litigation or
proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in
contract or in tort or otherwise, in any way relating to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto may be
heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or
in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Agent, or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document against the Borrower or its properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any
court referred to in clause (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.
(c)    Service of Process. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS AND CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS BEING MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO IT AT

SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR
FIVE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID AND
PROPERLY ADDRESSED. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12.3. NOTHING
IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
12.16     Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT

54
Renaissance Reinsurance
Reimbursement Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION.
12.17    Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit
Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could
purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or
under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is
denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the
“Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the
Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or any
Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to
the Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any
other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).
12.18    Effect of Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates and
supersedes and replaces the Existing Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents executed and
delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and
reborrowing, or termination of the obligations under the Existing Agreement or
the other Credit Documents as in effect prior to the date hereof; (b) such
obligations are in all respects are continuing (as amended and restated and
superseded and replaced hereby) with only the terms being modified as provided
in this Agreement and in the Credit Documents; and (c) upon the effectiveness of
this Agreement all letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Agreement
immediately before the effectiveness of this Agreement will be Letters of Credit
hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any claim, right or benefit
arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is not capable of being amended and
restated without the approval, consent or waiver of any Person, or if this
amendment and restatement would be invalid, or would destroy, terminate or
eliminate (or permit any other Person to destroy, terminate or eliminate) any
interest related thereto, or would constitute a breach of any Credit Document or
a violation of any law or contract or create any liability or claim on the part
of

55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Borrower to any other Person (any such occurrence, an “Impairment”), then
any provision of this Agreement or any Credit Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, the parties agree that any such provision or provisions shall,
at the option of the Borrower and the Agent, continue or be reinstated to the
limited extent necessary to eliminate such Impairment.
12.19    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising
under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be
subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority
and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
1.
the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution
Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it

2.
the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:

accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

3.
the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of
the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of

[the][each] Assignee identified in item 2 below ([the][each, an] “Assignee”).
[It is understood and agreed that the rights and obligations of [the
Assignors][the Assignees] hereunder are several and not joint.] Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
L/C Agreement identified below (as amended, the “L/C Agreement”), receipt of a

and Conditions set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto are hereby agreed to and

For an agreed consideration, [the][each] Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and
assigns to [the Assignee][the respective Assignees], and [the][each] Assignee
hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from [the Assignor][the respective
Assignors], subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions
and the L/C Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by the Agent as

Execution Version

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of November 23, 2015 (this
“Agreement”), is made by RENAISSANCE REINSURANCE LTD. (the “Pledgor”), in favor
of CITIBANK EUROPE PLC, as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the
benefit of the Secured Parties. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings given to them in the L/C Agreement referred to below.
RECITALS
A.    The Pledgor, various lenders, Bank of Montreal, as Documentation Agent,
ING Bank N.V., London Branch, as Letter of Credit Agent and the Collateral Agent
are parties to a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “L/C
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders will issue Letters of Credit for the
account of the Pledgor.
B.    As a condition to the issuance of Letters of Credit under the L/C
Agreement, the Pledgor is required to execute and deliver this Agreement to
secure the payment in full of the Obligations under the L/C Agreement and the
other Credit Documents. The Lenders are relying on this Agreement and would not
enter into the L/C Agreement without the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Pledgor.
STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, to
induce the Lenders and the Agents to enter into the L/C Agreement, the Pledgor
hereby agrees as follows:
1.Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. The Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns,
grants and delivers to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest in and a Lien on all of the Pledgor’s right, title
and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(i)    The custodial accounts listed on Annex A hereto (as the same may be
renamed or renumbered) established under a Second Amended and Restated Custody
Agreement dated as of September 30, 2009 between The Bank of New York Mellon, as
custodian (together with its successors and assigns, the “Custodian”), and the
Pledgor (as amended, modified or supplemented form time to time, the “Custodial
Agreement”), each of which custodial accounts is for and in the name of the
Pledgor (such accounts, together with any successor or replacement accounts, the
“Account”);
(ii)    all securities, money, instruments and other assets now or at any time
hereafter held or contained in or credited to the Account, including without
limitation all bonds, debentures, stock and other securities (whether
certificated or uncertificated, whether in registered, bearer or book-entry
form), security entitlements, financial assets, securities accounts and other
investment property and all promissory notes, negotiable instruments,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, financial assets, cash and cash
equivalents, together with all rights to receive interest, income, dividends,
distributions, returns of capital and other amounts (whether in cash,
securities, property, or a combination thereof), and all additional stock,
warrants, options, securities, interests and other property, from time to time
paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of any of the
foregoing (but subject to the provisions of Section 5); all additions,
replacements, substitutions and exchanges to or for any of the foregoing; and
all other rights, powers, privileges, interests, claims and other property in
any manner arising out of or relating to any of the foregoing, of whatever kind
or character; together with all certificates, instruments and entries upon the
books of the Custodian or any other securities intermediaries at any time
evidencing any of the foregoing, in each case whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising (the securities and other assets described in this
clause (ii), together with the Account, collectively, the “Pledged Assets”); and
(iii)    any and all proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code),
including cash proceeds, of or from any and all of the foregoing and, to the
extent not otherwise included in the foregoing, (y) all payments under any
insurance (whether or not the Collateral Agent is the loss payee thereunder),
indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral
and (z) all other amounts from time to time paid or payable under or with
respect to any of the foregoing Collateral (collectively, “Proceeds”). For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proceeds” includes whatever is receivable
or received when Collateral or Proceeds are sold, exchanged, redeemed, collected
or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
2.    Security for Obligations. The Collateral secures the full and prompt
payment, at any time and from time to time as and when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), of all Obligations owed by the
Pledgor under the L/C Agreement, this Agreement (including all reasonable fees,
costs and expenses payable by the Pledgor under Section 10) and the other Credit
Documents.
3.    Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as
follows:
(a)    Listed on Annex A are the account numbers and other identifying
information for the Account.
(b)    The Pledgor owns the Account established in its name as set forth herein,
and all other Collateral purported to be pledged by it hereunder, in each case
free and clear of any Liens except for the security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and except for Permitted Liens. No
property in which an Affiliate of the Pledgor has an interest or claim has been
or will be deposited in the Account. No effective security agreement, financing
statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral is on file or of record in any government or public office, and the
Pledgor has not filed or consented to the filing of any such statement or
notice, except (i) the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or similar
registrations in Bermuda naming the Collateral Agent as secured party and (ii)
the security agreement, control agreement, financing statements and Bermuda
registrations relating to the Existing Credit Agreement.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    With respect to the Account and the Pledged Assets and the Proceeds held
or contained therein or credited thereto, this Agreement, together with (i) the
execution by the Custodian of the Control Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, with respect to the Account among the Custodian, the Pledgor and the
Collateral Agent (the “Control Agreement”), and (ii) to the extent the laws of
Bermuda are applicable, the registration of the charge created by this Agreement
with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies on Form 9 pursuant to Section 55 of the
Companies Act 1981, creates, and at all times shall constitute, a valid and
perfected security interest in the Collateral owned by the Pledgor in favor of
the Collateral Agent, superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons
therein (subject to Permitted Liens), and no other or additional filings,
registrations, recordings or actions are or shall be necessary or appropriate in
order to maintain the perfection and priority of such security interest.
4.    Certain Covenants.
(a)    All securities and other property held or contained in or credited to the
Account (other than cash) shall be registered in the name of the Custodian and
shall be held in a manner sufficient to create a security entitlement in favor
of the Pledgor against the Custodian with respect to such securities or other
property. In no event shall any such securities or other property be registered
in the name of, payable to, or endorsed in favor of, the Pledgor, except to the
extent the same has been specially endorsed in favor of the Custodian or in
blank. In the event that the Pledgor desires to include, as part of the
Collateral, any property or interest (other than cash) not treated as a
“financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(9) of the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise not constituting a financial asset pursuant to the
Control Agreement, the Pledgor will cause such property or interest to be held
in or credited to a separate Custodial Account from the other Collateral and
shall ensure that such account is added as an “Account” under this Agreement and
the Control Agreement. The Pledgor will take all action necessary to ensure that
the Account shall not be a “Commingled Account” as such term is used in the
Custodial Agreement.
(b)    Pledgor will not (i) change its name, identity or organizational
structure, (ii) change its chief executive office from the location thereof
listed on Annex A, or (iii) change the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization from the jurisdiction listed on Annex A (whether by merger or
otherwise), unless in each case Pledgor has (1) given twenty (20) days’ prior
written notice to the Collateral Agent of its intention to do so, together with
information regarding any such new location and such other information in
connection with such proposed action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, and (2) delivered to the Collateral Agent ten (10) days prior to any
such change or removal such documents, opinions, instruments and financing
statements or similar registration documents as may be required by the
Collateral Agent, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, paid all necessary filing and recording fees and taxes, and taken all
other actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including, at the
request of the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders), delivery of opinions
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the effect that
all such actions have been taken), in order to perfect and maintain the security
interest in the Collateral provided for herein in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3(b).
(c)    Until the occurrence of all the Termination Requirements (as defined in
Section 15 below), Pledgor will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of,
grant any option with respect to, or

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mortgage, pledge, grant any Lien with respect to or otherwise encumber any of
the Collateral or any interest therein, except for the security interest created
in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder and except as may be otherwise
expressly permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Control
Agreement and the L/C Agreement. No Pledgor will purchase securities on margin
using any of the Collateral as collateral.
(d)    In the event the Custodian gives notice of termination of the Control
Agreement, the Pledgor shall have the right to appoint a successor Custodian,
which shall be a commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of or
licensed to do business in the United States or of any State thereof and having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, and which appointment
shall be subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that prior to the
effective date of such termination (i) the Pledgor shall have entered into a
custodial agreement with the successor Custodian in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, (ii) the retiring Custodian
shall have transferred the financial assets and other property (including cash)
contained in the Account to the successor Custodian, and (iii) the successor
Custodian and the Pledgor shall have entered into a control agreement with the
Collateral Agent satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 8-106 of the
Uniform Commercial Code and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders, and the Pledgor
shall have executed and delivered or caused to be delivered all such other
documents, opinions and instruments, and taken all such other action, reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders in order to perfect
the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the affected Collateral. If no
successor Custodian shall have been so appointed by the Pledgor, and shall have
accepted such appointment, prior to the effective date of termination of the
Control Agreement, then the Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Pledgor,
appoint a successor Custodian (which may be a Lender) or may direct the retiring
Custodian to transfer the financial assets and other property (including cash)
contained in the Account to the Collateral Agent to be held by the Collateral
Agent as Collateral.
(e)    The Pledgor agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, take any
and all actions necessary to warrant and defend the right, title and interest of
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all other Persons.
5.    Voting Rights; and Distributions. So long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing (or would occur as a result thereof) (i) the
Pledgor shall be entitled (as against the Collateral Agent and subject to the
terms of any custodial or other agreements with the Custodian) to exercise all
its voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Assets;
provided, however, that the Pledgor will not exercise any such right if such
action would be in violation of the Credit Documents, and (ii) all distributions
and other amounts payable in cash in respect of the Pledged Assets may, upon
certification to the Collateral Agent of compliance with the terms of the Credit
Documents, including those regarding collateral coverage, be distributed to the
Pledgor, as applicable; provided, however, that upon and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, all of the rights of Pledgor in this Section 5 shall
automatically cease, and the Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to
exercise any such rights and to receive and retain any and all distributions and
cash as Collateral as provided in this Section 5.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All distributions or other amounts that are received by the Pledgor in violation
of the provisions of this Section 5 shall be received in trust for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the
Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral
in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements). For purposes
of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and to the extent applicable
thereto, the Pledgor hereby waives the requirement of Sections 9-207(c)(2) of
the Uniform Commercial Code that the Collateral Agent apply any money or funds
received from the Collateral to reduce the Obligations.
6.    Events of Default; Release Events.
(a)    During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Pledgor shall not be
permitted to trade any securities in the Account except (i) to meet the
requirements of the L/C Agreement with respect to the aggregate Collateral Value
of the securities in the Account, (ii) to replace maturing securities with other
eligible Collateral and (iii) as otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders.
(b)    At any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, if a
Collateral Excess exists, the Pledgor may, with the consent of the Collateral
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), withdraw excess securities
and/or cash from the Account if the Pledgor shall provide to the Collateral
Agent a certificate reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Collateral Agent showing that, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the
Collateral Value of the eligible Collateral remaining in the Account shall at
least equal the then Required Collateral Amount. Upon receipt and approval of
such certificate by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall provide to
the Custodian a Release Event Notice (as defined in the Control Agreement)
authorizing such release.
(c)    Notwithstanding the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an Event of Default,
and except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.2(a) of the L/C Agreement, the
Pledgor shall at all times maintain a required Collateral Value of the requisite
Eligible Collateral in the Account at least equal to the then Required
Collateral Amount.
7.    Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the Collateral
all of its rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it under any other Credit Document, by law, in equity or otherwise,
including all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code, and shall be entitled in particular, but without limitation of
the foregoing, to exercise the following rights (which rights the Pledgor hereby
agrees to be commercially reasonable):
(a)    To provide a “Notice of Exclusive Control” under the Control Agreement
(and the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not provide a “Notice of Exclusive
Control” or otherwise give instructions or directions under the Control
Agreement except upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation of an Event of Default);
(b)    To notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral of the security
interest in favor of the Collateral Agent created hereby and to direct all such
Persons to make payments of all

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

amounts due thereon or thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or to an
account designated by the Collateral Agent; and in such instance and from and
after such notice, all amounts and Proceeds (including wire transfers, checks
and other instruments) received by the Pledgor in respect of any Collateral
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder,
shall be segregated from the other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith
deposited into such account or paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in
the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements or assignments),
to be held as Collateral and applied to the Obligations as provided herein;
(c)    To direct the Custodian to transfer to or register in the name of the
Collateral Agent or the name of any of its agents or nominees all or any part of
the Collateral, and thereafter to do the same, without notice to the Pledgor and
with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the security
interest created hereunder;
(d)    To exercise all voting, consensual and other rights and powers pertaining
to the Pledged Assets (whether or not transferred into the name of the
Collateral Agent), at any meeting of shareholders, partners, members or
otherwise, and any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription and
any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Assets as if
it were the absolute owner thereof, and in connection therewith, the right to
deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Assets with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine, and give all consents,
waivers and ratifications in respect of the Pledged Assets, all without
liability except to account for any property actually received by it, but the
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or
option or give any such consent, waiver or ratification and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; and for the foregoing
purposes the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed
and delivered to the Collateral Agent, upon request, all such proxies and other
instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to enable the
Collateral Agent to exercise such rights and powers; and in furtherance of the
foregoing and without limitation thereof, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as its true and lawful proxy and
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution in the premises, to exercise
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all such
voting, consensual and other rights and powers to which any holder of any
Pledged Assets would be entitled by virtue of holding the same, which proxy and
power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall be
effective for so long as this Agreement shall be in effect; and
(e)    To sell, resell, assign and deliver, and to direct the Custodian to sell,
resell, assign and deliver, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, all
or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels, on any securities exchange on
which any Pledged Assets may be listed, at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. If any of such Collateral
is sold upon credit or for future delivery, the Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in
the event of any such failure, the Collateral Agent may resell or direct the
resale of such Collateral. In no event shall the Pledgor be credited with any
part of the Proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash
payment in respect thereof has actually been received by the

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collateral Agent. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
equity or right of redemption of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby expressly
waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require
the Collateral Agent to marshal any assets in favor of the Pledgor or any other
party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations, that it has or
may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. No
demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law, as referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Pledgor, shall be required in connection with any sale or other
disposition of any part of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall be required under
applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10)
days’ prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time
after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice
the Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so,
regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The Collateral
Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each public sale and, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, upon each private sale, the Collateral
Agent may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any
equity, right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment
therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Obligations in
lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.
8.    Application of Proceeds.
(a)    All Proceeds collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other
disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all
other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be transferred to
the Letter of Credit Agent for application in accordance with Section 10.3 of
the L/C Agreement.
(b)    The Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between
the amount of all Proceeds realized upon sale or other disposition of the
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the aggregate amount of the sums
referred to in subsection (a) above. Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder
by the Collateral Agent (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted,
pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt of the Collateral
Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be
answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
(c)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and
maintained, at its principal office or such other location or locations as it
may establish from time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts
(collectively, “Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the
Collateral. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute
Collateral for the Obligations and shall not

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

constitute payment thereof until applied as herein provided. The Collateral
Agent shall have sole dominion and control over all funds deposited in any
Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the
Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to apply amounts held in the
Collateral Accounts in payment of the Obligations in the manner provided for in
subsection (a) above.
9.    Private Sales. The Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws as in effect from time
to time, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all
or any part of the Pledged Assets conducted without registration or
qualification under the Securities Act and such state securities laws, to limit
purchasers to any one or more Persons who will represent and agree, among other
things, to acquire such Pledged Assets for their own account, for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges
that any such private sales may be made in such manner and under such
circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its
sole and absolute discretion, including at prices and on terms less favorable
than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including
without limitation a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement
under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that
any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any such
Pledged Assets for the period of time necessary to permit its registration for
public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
shall not have any responsibility or liability as a result of its election so
not to conduct any such public sales or delay the sale of any such Pledged
Assets, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might
be realized if the sale were deferred until after such registration. The Pledgor
hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the
fact that the price at which any such Pledged Assets may have been sold at any
private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the
Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Pledged Assets to more than one offeree.
10.    Indemnity and Expenses. The Pledgor agrees:
(a)    To indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties and their directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from and
against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and
liabilities (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent the same shall arise as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be
indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment pursuant to the L/C Agreement); and
(b)    To pay and reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties upon
demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable and documented

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties
may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the
sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or
lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral,
(ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder
(including without limitation under Sections 7 and 9), under any of the other
Credit Documents or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity or
otherwise), or (iii) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the
occurrence of the Termination Requirements.
11.    The Collateral Agent; Standard of Care. The Collateral Agent will hold
all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Collateral Agent
as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the
disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are
solely to protect its interest in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in
its possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral
Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature,
and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the
Pledgor (i) for any loss or damage sustained by the Pledgor, or (ii) for any
loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the
Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any
way related to any exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy under
this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the
part of the Collateral Agent, except to the extent that the same is caused by
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment pursuant to the L/C
Agreement).
12.    Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.
(a)    The Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Collateral Agent, at its
own expense, to file and refile under the Uniform Commercial Code such financing
statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments in such
offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate,
and wherever required or permitted by law, in order to perfect and preserve the
Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, and hereby authorizes
the Collateral Agent to file financing statements and amendments thereto
relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the
Pledgor where permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things
and to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional conveyances,
assignments, agreements (including control agreements) and instruments as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish,
confirm and maintain the security interest provided for herein, to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Collateral
Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and
in the name of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, and with full
power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be in
effect), from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the
actions described in clause (i) below, which may be taken by the Collateral
Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred) to take any
action and to execute any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including,
without limitation:
(i)    to sign the name of the Pledgor on any financing statement, continuation
statement, notice or other similar document that, in the Collateral Agent’s
opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected the
security interest granted under this Agreement;
(ii)    to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral;
(iii)    to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, instruments,
chattel paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the
Pledgor representing any interest, income, dividend, distribution or other
amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge
for the same;
(iv)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any
of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent
with respect to any of the Collateral; and
(v)    to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect
to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent
were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time
to time, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the Pledgor’s expense, all other
acts and things deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of
this Agreement.
(c)    If the Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in
this Agreement after written request to do so by the Collateral Agent (provided
that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Collateral Agent may itself
perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take
any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and
preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the
reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Pledgor under Section 10.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.    Waivers. The Pledgor, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable
law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of
any rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including without
limitation any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with the
Collateral Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take or
omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to
have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights
and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the
Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and
waives the benefit of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Collateral
Agent, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no
such laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under
any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the
Collateral Agent to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of the
Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided
for herein).
14.    No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent 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 the Collateral
Agent 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 any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default. No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent 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 Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon the Pledgor in any
case shall entitle the Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the
Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
15.    Pledgor’s Obligations Absolute. The Pledgor agrees that its obligations
hereunder, and the security interest granted to and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder, are irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by
reason of any of the following, whether or not the Pledgor has knowledge
thereof:
(a)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, any Obligations, or any amendment, modification or supplement to,
restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any
provisions of the L/C Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or
instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;
(b)    the invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligations or any provisions
of the L/C Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument
delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    the addition or release of pledgors hereunder or the taking, acceptance
or release of any Obligations or additional Collateral or other security
therefor;
(d)    any sale, exchange, release, substitution, compromise, nonperfection or
other action or inaction in respect of any Collateral or other direct or
indirect security for any Obligations, or any discharge, modification,
settlement, compromise or other action or inaction in respect of any
Obligations;
(e)    any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or
enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law,
court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Obligations or
any Collateral or other security therefor, or any failure to create, protect,
perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any security interest in any such
Collateral or other security;
(f)    the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Credit Documents,
at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any Collateral or other security
for any Obligations, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including
without limitation foreclosure on any such Collateral or other security by any
manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is
commercially reasonable;
(g)    any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency,
dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate
structure or existence of any other pledgor or any other Person directly or
indirectly liable for any Obligations;
(h)    any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or
collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in
reduction of any Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person
directly or indirectly liable for any Obligations, regardless of what
Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or
(i)    any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, the
Pledgor or a surety or guarantor generally, other than the occurrence of all of
the following: (x) the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent
and indemnification obligations not then due and payable), (y) the termination
of the L/C Agreement, and (z) the termination or expiration of all outstanding
Letters of Credit under the L/C Agreement (the events in clauses (x), (y) and
(z) above, collectively, the “Termination Requirements”).
16.    Amendments, Waivers, etc. No waiver, discharge or termination of, or
consent to any departure by any party hereto from, any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the other party
hereto, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Collateral Agent
and the Pledgor.
17.    Continuing Security Interest; Term; Successors and Assigns; Assignment;
Termination and Release; Survival. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall secure the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations owed by the

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pledgor as the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to
time from and after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and
effect until the occurrence of the Termination Requirements, (ii) be binding
upon and enforceable against the Pledgor and its successors and assigns
(provided, however, that, except as permitted hereunder or under the L/C
Agreement, the Pledgor may not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights,
interests, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Secured Parties) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. Upon any sale or other
disposition by the Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly
permitted hereunder or under or pursuant to the L/C Agreement or any other
applicable Credit Document, the security interest created by this Agreement in
such Collateral shall be automatically released, and upon the satisfaction of
all of the Termination Requirements, this Agreement and the security interest
created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
the Pledgor; and in connection with any such release or termination, the
Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the Pledgor, will execute and
deliver to the Pledgor such documents and instruments evidencing such release or
termination as the Pledgor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer and
deliver to the Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or warranty
(except that the Collateral Agent has not assigned or otherwise transferred its
rights hereunder with respect to the applicable Collateral), such of the
Collateral as may then be in the possession of the Collateral Agent (or, in the
case of any partial release of Collateral, such of the Collateral so being
released as may be in its possession). All representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and any amendment or accession.
18.    Other Terms. All terms in this Agreement that are not capitalized shall
have the meanings provided by the Uniform Commercial Code to the extent the same
are used or defined therein. As used in this Agreement, “Uniform Commercial
Code” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as the same may be in effect from
time to time in the State of New York; provided that if, by reason of applicable
law, the validity or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral
granted under this Agreement is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in a jurisdiction other than New York, then as to the validity or
perfection, as the case may be, of such security interest, “Uniform Commercial
Code” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in
such other jurisdiction.
19.    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be given to the parties in the manner and subject to the other notice
provisions set forth in the L/C Agreement.
20.    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is subject to the
Governing Law, Forum Selection; Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process and
Waiver of Jury Trial provisions of the L/C Agreement (Sections 12.8, 12.15 and
12.16 of the L/C Agreement) which are hereby incorporated by reference.
21.    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.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way

context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words
in the plural include the singular.
23.    Counterparts. 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.
