any) held by the Lenders immediately prior to giving effect to the relevant Commitment
Increase, (ii) if the Borrower shall have so requested in accordance with this Agreement,
borrow new Loans from all Lenders (including, if applicable, any Assuming Lender) such that,

     “Performance Level” means Performance Level I, Performance Level II, Performance Level III,
Performance Level IV, Performance Level V or Performance Level VI, as identified by reference to
the public debt rating of the Borrower in effect on such date as set forth in the following chart:



	 	 	 
	Performance Level	 	Public Debt Rating
	Level I

	 	Long Term Senior Unsecured Debt rated greater than or
equal to A by S&P or A2 by Moody’s
	 
	 	 
	Level II

	 	Long Term Senior Unsecured Debt rated greater than or
equal to A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s
	 
	 	 
	Level III

	 	Long Term Senior Unsecured Debt rated greater than or
equal to BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s
	 
	 	 
	Level IV

	 	Long Term Senior Unsecured Debt rated greater than or
equal to BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s
	 
	 	 
	Level V

	 	Long Term Senior Unsecured Debt rated less than or equal
to BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s, and at all other
times (including if such ratings are not available from
both S&P and Moody’s)






     For purposes of this definition, the Performance Level shall be determined by the applicable
public debt rating for the Borrower as follows: (i) the public debt rating shall be determined by
the then-current rating announced by either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, for any class of
non-credit-enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt issued by the Borrower; (ii) if only one of S&P
and Moody’s shall have in effect such a public debt rating, the Performance Level will be Level V
(except as a result of either S&P or Moody’s, as the case

may be, ceasing to be in the business of issuing public debt ratings, in which case the
Performance Level shall be determined by reference to the available rating); (iii) if neither S&P
nor Moody’s shall have in effect such a public debt rating, the applicable Performance Level will
be Level V; (iv) if such public debt ratings established by S&P and Moody’s shall fall within
different levels, the public debt rating will be determined by the higher of the two ratings;
provided that in the event that the lower of such public debt ratings is more than one
level below the higher of such public debt ratings, the public debt rating will be determined based
upon the level that is one level above the lower of such public debt ratings; (v) if any such
public debt rating established by S&P or Moody’s shall be changed, such change shall be effective
as of the date on which such change is first announced publicly by the rating agency making such
change; and (vi) if S&P or Moody’s shall change the basis on which such public debt ratings are
established, or shall change its respective rating system, each reference to the public debt rating
announced by S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall refer to the then-equivalent rating by S&P
or Moody’s, as the case may be.

SCHEDULE 4.6



1. A subsidiary of the Borrower, American Reliable Insurance Company (ARIC), participated in
certain excess of loss reinsurance programs in the London market and, as a result, reinsured
certain personal accident, ransom and kidnap insurance risks from 1995 to 1997. ARIC and a foreign
affiliate ceded a portion of these risks to other reinsurers (retrocessionaires). ARIC ceased
reinsuring such business in 1997. However, certain risks continued beyond 1997 due to the nature
of the reinsurance contracts written. ARIC and some of the other reinsurers involved in the
programs are seeking to avoid certain treaties on various grounds, including material
misrepresentation and non-disclosure by the ceding companies and intermediaries involved in the
programs. Similarly, some of the retrocessionaires are seeking avoidance of certain treaties with
ARIC and the other reinsurers. The disputes generally involve multiple layers of reinsurance, and
allegations that the reinsurance programs involved interrelated claims “spirals” devised to
disproportionately pass claims losses to higher-level reinsurance layers. Many of the companies
involved in these programs, including ARIC, are currently involved in negotiations, arbitration and
or litigation between multiple layers of retrocessionaires, reinsurers, ceding companies and
intermediaries, including brokers, in an effort to resolve these disputes. Many of those disputes
relating to the 1995 program year, including those involving ARIC, were settled on December 3,
2003. While the majority of the negotiations, arbitrations and/or litigations between the multiple
layers of reinsurers, ceding companies and intermediaries are still ongoing, ARIC and an affiliated
company, Bankers Insurance Company Limited (BICL), did resolve disputes with two of their
reinsurers in the 1996 and 1997 program years by means of a commutation agreement. As a result of
the settlement, the two affiliated reinsurers paid ARIC and BICL $6 million and both parties agreed
to release each other from any past, present or future obligations of any kind.
