Manager, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). If an Indemnified Person fails to promptly notify the Indemnifying
Party, then the obligation to indemnify shall be reduced by the amount of liability that is attributable to or becomes definite
as a result of the delay in notification, if the delay in notification has resulted in a material increase in liability or actual
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any matter for which
a claim of indemnification is made against it with counsel it selects, at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party in its sole discretion
shall have the right to settle, compromise or defend until final adjudication any dispute or alleged liability for which a claim
for indemnification has been made; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent
of each Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment,
or enter into any settlement, that does not include the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of a release
from all liability with respect to the claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Person shall cooperate in providing information, formulating
a defense or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.


 


SECTION 7.04.       
Payment of Indemnified Amounts. Each Indemnified Person shall provide written, detailed statements to the Indemnifying
Party on a monthly basis, of any expenses, costs or other liabilities for which indemnification is claimed. The Indemnifying Party
shall reimburse such amounts within ten Business Days of receiving any such statement, or shall notify in writing the Indemnified
Person claiming indemnification if it denies liability, and provide the reasons for the denial.

SECTION 7.05.       
Limit of Liability. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Service Manager’s
aggregate liability during the term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising out of or attributable to this
Agreement, or from all services rendered or omitted to be rendered under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise,
is limited to, and shall not exceed, the highest amount actually paid as Service Fees in any single calendar year during the term
of this Agreement.

Conflicts of Interest and Exclusivity


 


SECTION 8.01.       
Non-Exclusivity of Services Rendered by the Services Manager. The services provided by the Services Manager under
this Agreement are not exclusive. None of the services to be provided under this Agreement nor any other matter shall give rise
to any fiduciary or equitable duties (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Requirements) which would prevent or hinder
the Services Manager, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Interested
Party”) from providing services to or entering into transactions with or for Parent and its subsidiaries. An Interested
Party may, without prior notice to Parent and its subsidiaries, recommend, effect or enter into transactions or provide services
(whether or not similar to the services provided under this Agreement) where an Interested Party has, directly or indirectly, a
material interest or a relationship with another person which may involve a conflict with the Services Manager’s duty to
Parent and its subsidiaries.


 


SECTION 8.02.       
Conflicts of Interest. The Services Manager shall take reasonable steps to ensure fair treatment for Parent and its
subsidiaries, and shall ensure that any such transactions are effected on terms which are not materially less favorable to Parent
and its subsidiaries than if the potential conflict had not existed. However, neither the Services Manager nor any other Interested
Party shall be liable to Parent and its subsidiaries for any profit, commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason
of such transactions or any related transactions. The Services Manager hereby notifies Parent and its subsidiaries, and Parent
and its subsidiaries hereby acknowledge, that such potential conflicting interests or duties may arise as a result of, among other
things:


 


(a)               
an Interested Party undertakes other business for other clients;


 


(b)              
the transaction relates to an Investment in respect of which an Interested Party may benefit from a commission, fee, mark-up
or mark-down payable otherwise than by Parent or its subsidiaries, or the Interested Party may also be remunerated by the counterparty
to any such transaction;


 


(c)               
the Services Manager deals on behalf of Parent or its subsidiaries with or through another Interested Party; or


 



    	11



    	 



    




(d)              
the Services Manager may act as agent for Parent and its subsidiaries in relation to transactions in which it is also acting
as agent for the account of other clients or Interested Parties.

Miscellaneous


 


SECTION 9.01.        Confidentiality.
(a) No Party shall at any time use, divulge or communicate to any Person any Confidential Information, except:


 


(i)                
as agreed by the other Party;


 


(ii)              
where required to perform its duties or exercise its rights under this Agreement (including to its delegates or agents,
if applicable);


 


(iii)            
to its professional representatives or advisers, or to insurance companies, insurance brokers or insurance agents, to the
extent required by them to perform their duties, and provided that they are or agree to be bound by a duty of confidentiality;


 


(iv)            
(when the Services Manager is transacting business for Parent or its subsidiaries with a counterparty or broker) the identity
of Parent and its subsidiaries and such details about Parent and its subsidiaries as the counterparty or broker may reasonably
request (in accordance with market practice); or


 


(v)              
to the extent required by Applicable Requirements or by any Competent Regulatory Authority (including for the purpose of
filing tax returns),


 


(vi)            
and each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the publication or disclosure of any Confidential Information
in breach of this Agreement.


 


(b)              
The Services Manager is not required to disclose to Parent and its subsidiaries, or to take into account when providing
or procuring the Services, any information:


 


(i)                
the disclosure of which to Parent and its subsidiaries would or might be a breach of duty or confidence to any other Person;
or


 


(ii)              
which comes to the notice of an employee or agent of the Services Manager.


 



    	12



    	 



    




SECTION 9.02.       
Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement shall not restrict the rights or ability of the Services Manager to offer services
similar to those contemplated hereby to third parties, including its own Affiliates, or of Parent and its subsidiaries to receive
services not contemplated hereby from third party vendors. Parent, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, waives any claim based
on any conflict of interest on the part of the Services Manager or its employees arising from any Affiliate of the Services Manager
carrying on business similar to that of Parent and its subsidiaries or providing similar services to any other Persons, including
competitors of Parent or its subsidiaries.


 


SECTION 9.03.       
Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach of this Agreement,
each non-breaching Party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly
agreed that the Parties (a) will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law, (b) shall
be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to compel specific performance
of this Agreement in any action instituted in respect thereof, and (c) will waive, for purposes of this Section 9.03 only, the
requirement to submit any dispute arising out of, or related in any way to, this Agreement or the transactions hereunder to arbitration
pursuant to Section 9.09.


 


SECTION 9.04.       
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by an instrument in writing executed by each
Party.


 


SECTION 9.05.       
Delegation. The Services Manager may delegate or sub-contract any of its functions under this Agreement (other than
providing the services of the Chief Executive Officer or the interim Chief Financial Officer) but any such delegation or sub-contracting
shall not affect the Services Manager’s liability under this Agreement.


 


SECTION 9.06.       
Assignment. Subject to Section 9.05, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder
shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by either of the Parties hereto without the prior written
consent of the other Party hereto. No assignment by either Party shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this
Section 9.06 shall be null and void. All such assignments shall be subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.


 


SECTION 9.07.       
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or e-mail), each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party hereto and delivered to the other Party hereto.

SECTION 9.08.       
Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all
other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights
or remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has not relied on or been induced to enter into this Agreement
by any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement, representation, warranty, undertaking or understanding which is not expressly
included in this Agreement and (ii) it shall have no claim or remedy in respect of any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement,
representation, warranty, undertaking or understanding which is not expressly included in this Agreement. Nothing in the immediately
preceding sentence shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.


 


SECTION 9.09.        Arbitration.
(a) Any dispute arising out of, or related in any way to, this Agreement or the transactions hereunder, including its
formation and validity, shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Bermuda law. The dispute shall be submitted to
a panel of arbitrators and the seat of arbitration shall be in Bermuda. The panel shall be composed of three arbitrators,
one arbitrator shall be chosen by Parent, one arbitrator shall be chosen by the Services Manager and one arbitrator shall
be chosen by the mutual agreement of the two arbitrators selected by each of Parent and the Services Manager. The
arbitrators shall be disinterested, active or retired executive officers of property or casualty insurance or reinsurance
companies, not under the control or management of either Party to this Agreement.


 


(b)              
Any Party requesting arbitration shall provide the other Party with a written notice that includes reasonable detail of
the dispute such Party intends to submit for arbitration. During the 45 days following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall
use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate an amicable resolution of such dispute (provided that
the use of commercially reasonable efforts shall not be deemed to require the Parties to agree to any resolution). If the Parties
have not resolved such dispute in writing within 45 days of receipt of such written notice by the other Party, Parent and the Services
Manager shall each select an arbitrator within 30 days after the expiration of such 45 day period. If either Parent or the Services
Manager fails to appoint its arbitrator within such 30 day period, the other shall also appoint such Party’s arbitrator.


 


(c)               
The panel shall make its decision in the context of the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance industry. They
shall interpret this Agreement as an honorable engagement, and shall settle any dispute under this Agreement according to an equitable,
rather than strictly legal, interpretation of its terms with a view to effecting the general purpose of this Agreement. The panel
is relieved of all judicial formality and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The panel shall have the power to
fix all procedural rules for the arbitration, including the discretionary power to make orders regarding any matters which it may
consider proper under the circumstances of the case relating to pleadings, discovery, inspection of documents and examination of
witnesses. The panel shall have the power to receive and act upon such evidence, whether oral or written, as it in its sole discretion
shall deem relevant to the dispute.


 



    	14



    	 



    




(d)              
The panel shall render a decision in writing within 60 days after the matter is finally submitted to it unless the Parties
agree to an extension. Any decision by a majority of the panel members shall be final and binding on the Parties. If either Party
fails to comply with the panel’s decision, the other may apply for its enforcement to a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)               
Unless ordered differently by the panel, each Party shall bear the expenses of its own arbitrator, and shall jointly and
equally bear with the other Party the expenses of the third arbitrator. In the event two or more arbitrators are chosen by one
Party, the fees of all three arbitrators shall be equally divided between the Parties. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceeding
shall be allocated by the panel as part of its award.


 


SECTION 9.10.       
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Bermuda applicable
to contracts and made and performed entirely within Bermuda.


 


SECTION 9.11.       
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
(A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS
OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.


 


SECTION 9.12.

deemed given if delivered personally, facsimiled (which is confirmed) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery)

not to have been received until the next succeeding Business Day in the place of receipt.


 


SECTION 9.13.       
Severability. If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions
of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term, condition or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement
so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in
an acceptable manner to the end that the terms of this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.


 


SECTION 9.14.       
No Waiver/Cumulative Remedies. Any waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this Agreement or of any default under
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of this
Agreement. No failure on the part of a Party to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise of that right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided
in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.


 


SECTION 9.15.       
Relationship of Parties. The Services Manager shall perform its duties hereunder as an independent contractor. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to create the relationship of employer or employee, partnership or any type of joint venture
relationship, between Parent, on the one hand, and the Services Manager, on the other hand.

SECTION 9.16.

in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”,
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer

The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the
masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred
to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time

The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity
