SECTION 6.01. Performance Fees. (a)  With respect to each fiscal quarter that this Agreement is in effect, commencing with the quarter in which
this Agreement is executed, the Reinsurance Manager shall receive the Performance Fee (as defined below). Within 45 calendar
days following the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Reinsurance Manager shall make available the quarterly calculation of the
Management Fee to Parent with respect to such quarter, and Parent shall pay the Reinsurance Manager the Performance Fee for such
quarter in cash within 15 Business Days thereafter.


 


(b)              
The “Performance Fee” means, with respect to any fiscal quarter, [·]%

(A)            
the pre-tax Distributable Income, prior to the calculation of the Performance Fee, of Parent as of the end of such fiscal
quarter; minus


 


(B)             
a hurdle amount calculated as the product of:


 


(1)              
(a) the product of (i) the weighted average of the issue price per Common Share of every public or private offering conducted
by Parent since its inception, multiplied by (ii) the weighted average number of all Common Shares outstanding as of the
end of such fiscal quarter, including any restricted share units, any restricted Common Shares and other Common Shares underlying
awards granted under any of Parent’s equity incentive plans minus (b) the amount, if any, by which Parent’s
inception-to-date dividends to holders of Common Shares exceeds Parent’s inception-to-date U.S. GAAP net income to holders
of Common Shares; multiplied by


 


(2)              
[·]%;


 


provided, however, that the Performance Fee shall
be (x) in an amount not less than zero and (y) subject to a rolling three-year high water mark. Prior to the completion
of the three-year period after completion of the Offering, calculation of the high water mark will be done over the inception-to-date
period. The Performance Fee shall be pro-rated for partial quarterly periods based on the number of days in such partial period
compared to a 90-calendar day period.

Indemnification


 


SECTION 8.01. Indemnification of the Reinsurance
Manager. Subject to Section 8.05 hereof, Parent, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, unconditionally agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Reinsurance Manager and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and permitted
assigns (the “Reinsurance Manager Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse such parties for, any
losses, claims, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses of any type which they may incur (i) on account of any third-party
claim or proceeding arising out of the performance of this Agreement or (ii) from any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant
or obligation of Parent or Blue Capital Re contained in this Agreement (unless caused by the Reinsurance Manager’s breach
of, or failure to perform, its covenants or obligations under this Agreement), in each case, unless (a) a court or arbitral panel
with appropriate jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment which is not subject to appeal such losses, claims, liabilities,
damages, costs or expenses are as a result of fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the Reinsurance
Manager Indemnitees or (b) such Reinsurance Manager Indemnitees shall have settled such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs
or expenses without the consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


SECTION 8.02. Indemnification of Blue Capital
Re. The Reinsurance Manager unconditionally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its subsidiaries and their
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (the “Parent Indemnitees”),
from and against, and pay or reimburse such parties for, any losses, claims, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses
of any type which they may incur from any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or obligation of the Reinsurance Manager
contained in this Agreement, unless (i) a court or arbitral panel of appropriate jurisdiction shall have determined by a final
judgment that is not subject to appeal such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses are as a result of fraud, dishonesty,
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the Parent Indemnitees or (ii) such Parent Indemnitees shall have settled such
losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses without the consent of the Reinsurance Manager (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


SECTION 8.03. Indemnification Procedure.
Any person who is claiming indemnification from Parent pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01, or from the Reinsurance Manager
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02 (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly deliver a written notification
of each claim for indemnification, accompanied by a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying in detail the nature of,
basis for and estimated amount of the claim for indemnification to Parent or the Reinsurance 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 8.04. 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 8.05. Limit of Liability. Notwithstanding
anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Reinsurance 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 Performance Fees in any single calendar year during the term of this Agreement.

Conflicts of Interest and Exclusivity


 


SECTION 9.01. Non-Exclusivity of Services
Rendered by the Reinsurance Manager. The services provided by the Reinsurance 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 Reinsurance 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 Reinsurance Manager’s duty to Parent and its subsidiaries.

SECTION 9.02. Conflicts of Interest.
The Reinsurance 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 Reinsurance 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 Reinsurance 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 investment or 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 Reinsurance Manager deals on behalf of Parent and its subsidiaries with or through another Interested Party; or


 


(d)              
the Reinsurance 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.

(iv)            
(when the Reinsurance Manager is transacting business for Parent or its subsidiaries with a counterparty or broker) the

request (in accordance with market practice); or

(b)              
The Reinsurance Manager is not required to disclose to Parent and its subsidiaries, or to take into account when performing
its obligations under this agreement 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 Reinsurance Manager.


 


SECTION 10.02. Non-Exclusivity. This
Agreement shall not restrict the rights or ability of the Reinsurance 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 and its subsidiaries waive any claim based on any conflict of interest on the part of the Reinsurance
Manager or its employees arising from any Affiliate of the Reinsurance 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 10.03. 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 10.03 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
10.09.


 


SECTION 10.04. Amendment. This Agreement
may be amended by the Parties at any time by an instrument in writing executed by each Party.

not affect the Reinsurance Manager’s liability under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06. Assignment. Subject
to Section 10.05, 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 any of the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties
hereto. No assignment by any 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 10.06 shall be null
and void. All such assignments shall be subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.


 


SECTION 10.07. 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 Parties hereto.


 


SECTION 10.08. 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 10.09. 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 Reinsurance Manager and one arbitrator shall be chosen by
the mutual agreement of the two arbitrators selected by each of Parent and the Reinsurance 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 any Party to this Agreement.


 


(b)              
Any Party requesting arbitration shall provide the other Parties 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 Parties, Parent and the
Reinsurance Manager shall each select an arbitrator within 30 days after the expiration of such 45-day period. If either Parent
or the Reinsurance Manager fails to appoint its arbitrator within such 30-day period, Parent or the Reinsurance Manager, as applicable,

(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.


 


(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 any Party
fails to comply with the panel’s decision, the other Parties may apply for its enforcement to a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


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


 


SECTION 10.10. 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.

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 10.14. 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.
