 2. Maintenance of Risk-Based Capital. 
 (a) If, at the end of any quarter during the term of
this Capital Agreement, Prime Re’s Total Adjusted Capital is less than the Capital Threshold, then the Obligor shall contribute, or cause one of its subsidiaries to contribute, additional capital to Prime Re, in the form of cash and/or Fair
Value of Assets, in such aggregate amount as shall cause Prime Re’s Total Adjusted Capital, immediately upon receipt of such contribution, to equal or exceed the Capital Threshold; provided, however, that no contribution from the
Obligor will be required if Prime Re’s Total Adjusted Capital is less than the Capital Threshold by no more than $100,000. Prime Re shall furnish its Annual Statements and its Risk Based Capital Reports to the Obligor promptly upon filing
thereof with the VT DOI. In the case of the first three quarters of each calendar year, Prime Re shall provide its estimated calculations of Company Action Level Risk Based Capital and Total Adjusted Capital to the Obligor within 20 calendar days of
each quarter-end, accompanied by reasonable detail illustrating the basis upon which such estimates were prepared. In the event that Prime Re determines that its Total Adjusted Capital is

less than the Capital Threshold at any particular quarter-end, it shall also deliver a statement to the Obligor simultaneously with its delivery of the Risk Based Capital Report or quarterly
estimate, as the case may be, which identifies the amount of such deficiency and makes a demand to the Obligor for the payment of such amount pursuant to this Section 2(a). The Obligor shall cause payment of the required amount to Prime Re
within 45 calendar days from receipt of any such demand for payment made by, or on behalf of, Prime Re; provided, however, if any notice to and/or approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal
Reserve”) is required for Obligor to make such payment, Obligor shall have provided such notice to, and/or obtained such required approval from, the Federal Reserve within such 45 day period. Such 45 day period is subject to
extension upon the consent of the Ceding Company, consent which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, the Ceding Company shall not be required to consent to extend such period beyond an
additional 45 days, for a total not to exceed 90 days, in accordance with the Reinsurance Agreements. The Obligor agrees to promptly provide all required notices to, and make all required filings with, the Federal Reserve and to diligently
pursue all approvals required to be obtained to make any required payment hereunder; [provided, however, to the extent information is required from the Ceding Company to complete any such notice or approval filing, the Ceding Company
will cooperate to promptly provide such information to the Obligor]. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this
Capital Agreement to the contrary, the Obligor shall never be required to make aggregate payments over the term of this Capital Agreement that exceed the Maximum Amount applicable at the time any payment is required to be made by Obligor pursuant to
Section 2 of this Capital Agreement. 
 3. No Guarantee. This Capital Agreement is not, and nothing herein
contained and nothing done pursuant hereto by the Obligor shall be deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect guarantee by the Obligor of the payment of any debt or other obligation, indebtedness or liability, of any kind or character whatsoever, of
Prime Re, if any. 
 4. Representations and Warranties. The Obligor represents and warrants that: (i) it is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (ii) it has all requisite corporate power and authority and has obtained all authorizations and approvals required in order to execute,
deliver and perform this Capital Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (iii) this Capital Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Obligor enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof; and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance of this Capital Agreement and the consummation of the obligations contemplated hereby will not (a) violate any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or
other charter or organizational document of the Obligor, or (b) violate any order, judgment, injunction, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority against, or binding upon, or any agreement with, or condition imposed
by, any Governmental Authority, foreign or domestic, binding upon the Obligor, except when any such violation would not have a material adverse effect on this Capital Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 5. Termination. This Capital Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of
(i) the date as of which all of the obligations of Prime Re under the Reinsurance Agreements are fully and finally discharged or (ii) the date as of which the Obligor has made aggregate payments under this Capital Agreement equal to or
greater than the Maximum Amount applicable at the time any payment is required to be made by Obligor pursuant to Section 2 of this Capital Agreement. 
 6. Third Party Approvals. 
 (a) No Party may assign,
delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Capital Agreement or amend this Capital Agreement without the prior written consent of both the Ceding Company and the Massachusetts Division of Insurance, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as (i) such successors or assigns have sufficient financial capabilities to meet any outstanding obligations that may exist at the time of such assignment and (ii) such amendment does not have
a material adverse effect on the Ceding Company’s rights under the Reinsurance Agreements. 
 (b) The
Parties hereby acknowledge that each of the Ceding Company and the Massachusetts Division of Insurance is an express third party beneficiary of this Capital Agreement. In the event that Prime Re shall fail to enforce any of its rights under this
Capital Agreement in a timely manner, each of the Ceding Company and the Massachusetts Division of Insurance shall have the right to enforce such rights on behalf of and in the name of Prime Re. Prime Re shall reimburse each of the Ceding
Company or the Massachusetts Division of Insurance, as applicable, for actual reasonable expenses incurred by the Ceding Company or the Massachusetts Division of Insurance, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 6(b).

practicable, copies of all Annual Statements, Risk Based Capital Reports (or quarterly estimates thereof), written regulatory correspondence relating to the Risk Based Capital Reports, and any statements of deficiencies or notices made by Prime
Re to the Obligor pursuant to Section 2 and Section 5 hereof. In addition, Prime Re shall promptly notify each of the Ceding Company and the Massachusetts Division of Insurance in the event that the Obligor shall fail to make the required
payments upon demand in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
