 Exhibit 10.6 
 Insurance Letters of Credit – Master Agreement 
 Form 3/CEP 
 AGREEMENT DATED 29 APRIL 2009 
 BETWEEN: 
  

	(1)	RENAISSANCE REINSURANCE LTD. (“the Company”) whose office is at Renaissance House, 8-20 East Broadway, Pembroke HM 19, Bermuda; 

 AND 
  

	(2)	CITIBANK EUROPE PLC (“CEP”) whose offices and registered address are at 1 North Wall Quay, I.F.S.C., Dublin 1, Ireland. 

 PREAMBLE 
 Subject to the Company’s satisfaction of the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, CEP agrees to establish letters of credit or similar or equivalent acceptable instruments (each a “Credit” and collectively the “Credits”) on behalf of the Company in favour of
beneficiaries located in the United States of America or elsewhere (the “Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries” as relevant). In furtherance of this Agreement, the parties have separately agreed the contractual or security arrangements
that will apply in respect of the Company’s obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	1.	AGREEMENT 

 It is agreed between us in
relation to each Credit that:- 
  

	 	1.1	In order to establish a Credit, the Company is required to submit an application form to CEP (“the Application Form”). The Application Form must (a) be in such form
as CEP is willing to accept for this purpose; Application Forms may, subject to CEP’s agreement, be received via any electronic system(s) or transmission arrangement(s); (b) be completed by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with
the terms of the Company’s banking mandate(s) or other authorities lodged with CEP or in accordance with arrangement(s) made with CEP from time to time; and (c) indicate therein the name of the Beneficiary and the amount and term of the
Credit required. Upon receipt of an Application Form that satisfies the above criteria, CEP shall establish on behalf of the Company an irrevocable clean sight Credit (or such other form of Credit as may be required by the Application Form relating
thereto) available, in whole or in part, by the Beneficiary’s sight draft (the Company hereby agreeing that CEP may accept as a valid “sight draft” any written or electronic demand or other request for payment under the Credit, even
if such demand or other request is not in the form of a negotiable instrument) on CEP or otherwise as may be required by the terms of the Credit; provided, however, that: 

  

	 	(i)	the opening of any Credit hereunder shall, in every instance, be at CEP’s option and nothing herein shall be construed as obliging CEP to open any Credit;

	 	(ii)	prior to the establishment of any Credit or in order to maintain a Credit the Company undertakes as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	forthwith at CEP’s request to deposit, at an Approved Bank, in an account or accounts in the Company’s name, cash or securities or a combination of cash and securities of
such amount and in such combination as CEP may require (a “Deposit”). “Approved Bank” for the purposes of this Clause 1.1(ii)(a) shall mean one or more of the following:- (i) Citibank, N.A. at their branch at Citigroup
Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB; (ii) a bank approved by CEP; or, (iii) such other Citigroup branch or approved bank as CEP may designate and notify to the Company; and 

  

	 	(b)	should a Deposit have been requested, to execute CEP’s standard form charge documentation in relation to the accounts opened pursuant to Clause 1.1 (ii) (a) above.

  

	 	1.2	Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 1.1 (i), the opening of any Credit hereunder shall be dependent upon CEP being satisfied, in its absolute discretion, that a Deposit
has been carried out and that the documentation required to be executed under Clause 1.1 (ii) (b) has been validly executed; 

  

	 	1.3	The Company undertakes to reimburse CEP, within two Business Days of demand, the amount of any and all drawings (including, for the avoidance of doubt, drawings presented
electronically) under each Credit; 

  

	 	1.4	The Company undertakes to indemnify CEP, within two Business Days of demand, for and against all actions, proceedings, losses, damages, charges, costs, expenses, claims and demands
which CEP may incur, pay or sustain in connection with each Credit and/or this Agreement, howsoever arising (unless resulting from CEP’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct); 

  

	 	1.5	The Company undertakes to pay CEP, within two Business Days of demand, such fees and/or commissions of such amount(s) and/or at such rate(s) as shall have been or may be advised by
CEP to the Company as payable in connection with each Credit; 

  

	 	1.6	The Company hereby irrevocably authorises CEP to make any payments and comply with any demands which may be claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with any Credit without any
reference to, or further authority from, the Company. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not be incumbent upon CEP to enquire or take notice of whether or not any such payments or demands claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with each
Credit are properly made or whether any dispute exists between the Company and the Beneficiary thereof. The Company further agrees that any payment CEP makes in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Credit shall be binding upon the
Company and shall be accepted by the Company as conclusive evidence that CEP was liable to make such payment or comply with such demand. 

  

	2.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

  

	 	2.1	The Company represents and warrants to CEP and undertakes that:- 

  

	 	(i)	it has and will at all times have the necessary power to enable it to enter into and perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by it under this Agreement;

  

	 	(ii)	the Agreement constitutes its legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation effective in accordance with its terms; and 

  

	 	(iii)	all necessary authorisations to enable or entitle it to enter into this Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect and will remain in such force and effect at all
times during the subsistence of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.2	The Company represents and warrants to CEP that:- 

  

	 	(i)	it is not unable to pay its debts as they fall due; 

  

 2 

	 	(ii)	it has not been deemed or declared to be unable to pay its debts under any applicable law; 

  

	 	(iii)	it has not suspended making payments on any of its debts; 

  

	 	(iv)	it has not, by reason of actual or anticipated financial difficulties, commenced negotiations with any of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its indebtedness;

  

	 	(v)	the value of its assets is not less than its liabilities (taking into account contingent and prospective liabilities); 

  

	 	(vi)	no moratorium has been declared in respect of any of its indebtedness; and 

  

	 	(vii)	no analogous or similar event or concept to those set out in this Clause 2.2 has occurred or is the case under the laws of any jurisdiction. 

  

	3.	EXTENSION/TERMINATION 

  

	 	3.1      (a)	Any Credit established hereunder may, if requested by the Company on the relevant Application Form and subject to CEP’s consent, bear a clause to the effect that it will
automatically be extended for successive periods of one year (or such other period as may be stated in the relevant Application Form) UNLESS the Beneficiary has received from the bank or institution issuing the Credit (the “Issuing
Bank”) by registered mail (or other appropriate receipted delivery) notification of intention not to renew such Credit at least 30 days (or such other period as may be stated in the relevant Application Form) prior to the end of the original
term or, as the case may be, of a period of extension (the “Notice Period”). 

  

	 	(b)	The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to the Company to send the Beneficiary such notification (and without such notification to the Beneficiary the Credit will be
automatically extended as provided above) UNLESS the Company shall have sent notification to CEP by registered mail (or other means acceptable to CEP) of its election not to renew such Credit at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the
Notice Period. 

  

	 	(c)	CEP reserves the right, at its sole option and discretion, to give or procure the giving at any time to the Beneficiary of notification of intention not to renew any Credit. If CEP
exercises such said right, it will give the Company notice in writing thereof as soon as is reasonably possible. Where the Credit is issued to The Society and Council of Lloyd’s as Beneficiary in respect of the Applicant’s Funds at
Lloyd’s requirements, however, CEP will provide the Applicant with any notice of non-renewal in respect of such Credit no later than 1 November of the applicable calendar year. 

  

	4.	UCC/ISP 

 CEP may, at its sole option,
arrange for the issuance of any Credit as being subject to either (i) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision) ICC Publication No. 500 (“the UCP”) or (ii) the International Chamber of Commerce
Publication No. 590—the International Standby Practices 1998 (the “ISP”), (or any subsequent version of either); provided however that CEP may agree such modifications thereof as may be required by any regulatory or other
authority having jurisdiction as to the acceptability of the Credit in question. 
  

	5.	PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS 

  

	 	5.1	Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, the previous agreement(s) (if any) entered into between them (other than those at any time governed by a “Master
Agreement – London Market Letter of Credit Scheme” or substantially equivalent agreement) governing Credits established by CEP on the Company’s behalf in favour of Beneficiaries shall, on due execution by the parties of this
Agreement, cease to apply to all such Credits, which Credits shall henceforth be governed by this Agreement. 

  

 3 

	 	5.2	For the avoidance of doubt any letter or letters of credit or similar or equivalent instrument or instruments (the “Existing Credit(s)”) which has or have been established
or opened pursuant to the terms of any previous agreement(s) entered into between the Company and Citibank, N.A. governing the Existing Credits (including any security arrangements that apply in respect of any obligation under or pursuant to such
previous agreement(s)) (the “Existing Agreement(s)”) shall continue in force until cancelled. The Existing Agreement(s) shall continue to apply to the Existing Credit(s) until all the Existing Credit(s) have been cancelled. The Company
undertakes, on CEP’s request, to take all reasonable steps to procure that any cancelled Existing Credit(s) are destroyed or returned to CEP. 

  

	6.	CREDIT CHOICE OF LAW 

 If, at the
Company’s request, a Credit expressly chooses a state or country law other than New York, U.S.A. or English law, or is silent with respect to the UCP, the ISP or a governing law, CEP shall not be liable for any payment, cost, expense or loss
resulting from any action or inaction it takes provided such action or inaction is justified under UCP, ISP, New York law, English law or the law governing the Credit. 
  

	7.	BRANCHES/CORRESPONDENT BANKS 

  

	 	7.1	The Company acknowledges that CEP may carry out any of its obligations or exercise any of its rights under this Agreement through any of its offices or branches, wheresoever
situated. 

  

	 	7.2	The Company further understands that CEP reserves the right to issue any Credit through any third party correspondent of its choice (unless such correspondent is not an authorized
issuing bank for the purposes of the Beneficiary) and/or to have any Credit confirmed by Citibank, N.A. In such circumstances, CEP will be required to guarantee reimbursement to such correspondent and/or Citibank, N.A. of any payments which such
correspondent and/or Citibank, N.A. may make under the Credit in question and such guarantee (howsoever described) shall be treated mutatis mutandis as a Credit for the purpose of this Agreement. 

  

	8.	INCREASES ETC/REINSTATEMENTS 

 The provisions
of the foregoing Clauses shall be equally applicable to any increase, extension, renewal, partial renewal, modification or amendment of, or substitute instrument for, any Credit to which they apply. If for any reason any amount paid under any Credit
is repaid, in whole or in part, by the Beneficiary thereof, CEP may, in its sole discretion, treat (or procure the treatment of) such repayment as a reinstatement of an amount (equal to such repayment) under such Credit. The value date CEP applies
to any such reinstatement shall not be earlier than the date of such repayment and CEP shall not be liable for losses of any nature which the Company may suffer or incur and/or which may arise from any inadvertent or erroneous drawing, except to the
extent that such losses were the result of CEP’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

“Agreement”) made among RENAISSANCE REINSURANCE LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of Bermuda whose address of its registered or principal office is at Renaissance House, 8-20 East
Broadway, Pembroke HM 19, Bermuda (the “Pledgor”), and CITIBANK EUROPE PLC (the “Pledgee”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. 
  

	(1)	The Pledgor and the Pledgee have entered into one or more Master Agreements (as defined in Exhibit A) pursuant to which the Pledgee may, from time to time in its sole
discretion, issue, or procure the issuance of, for the account of the Pledgor, letters of credit or similar or equivalent instruments (each a “Credit” and, collectively, the “Credits”).

  

	(2)	The Pledgor has agreed to collateralize its obligations to the Pledgee that result from time to time under each Master Agreement and in respect of the Credits issued thereunder,
whether now existing or from time to time hereafter incurred or arising, as such obligations are more fully defined in Section 3 of this Agreement as the Secured Obligations. 

  

	(3)	The Pledgor and the Pledgee desire to execute and deliver this Agreement for the purpose of securing the Secured Obligations and subjecting the property hereinafter described to the
Lien of this Agreement as security for the performance of the Secured Obligations. 

  

	(4)	The Pledgor has opened account number RREF0741002 (together with any successor account opened and maintained for this purpose, the “Account”) with The Bank of New
York Mellon at its office at One BNY Mellon Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15258, U.S.A. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and in order to induce the Pledgee to enter into transactions with and to provide services to the Pledgor and its subsidiaries pursuant to separate agreements or arrangements between such persons and the Pledgee, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Defined Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit A. 
 Section 2. Grant of Security. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the Pledgor hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the Pledgee a first priority security interest in and a Lien on all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in all of the following
(collectively, the “Collateral”): 
  

	(i)	the Account; 

  

	(ii)	the Securities and any Instruments or other Financial Assets credited to the Account or otherwise acquired by the Pledgee in any manner and under its control as Collateral (the
“Pledged Securities”) including, without limitation, any Securities Account and Security Entitlement in respect of the Account, the Pledged Securities or any of them; 

  

 1 

	(iii)	all additional Investment Property (including without limitation) Securities, Security Entitlements, Financial Assets, or other property and all funds, cash or cash equivalents
(together with any applicable Account or Securities Account) from time to time (A) received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange or substitution for any other Collateral (all such funds, cash or cash equivalents to
be Financial Assets for the purposes of this Agreement) or (B) otherwise acquired by the Pledgee in any manner and delivered to the Pledgee or under the control of the Pledgee as Collateral; and 

  

	(iv)	all proceeds (including, without limitation, cash proceeds) of any or all of the foregoing, including without limitation, proceeds that constitute property of the types described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. 

 Section 3. Security of Obligations. This Agreement (and the
Collateral pledged hereunder) secures the payment of such proportion of the obligations of the Pledgor as is required under Section 6(h) hereof, now or hereafter existing under each Master Agreement (including contingent obligations with
respect to Credit(s) issued or procured for issuance by the Pledgee for the Pledgor’s account) and this Agreement, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise and the
payment of such proportion as is required under Section 6(h) hereof, of any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Pledgee in enforcing any rights under this Agreement and the Master Agreements (all
such obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Agreement is intended to convey to the Pledgee, and hereby grants to the Pledgee, the right and power to exercise exclusive control over all
Security Entitlements in, and the sole right and power to direct dispositions of all cash deposits in the Account for the purposes of sections 9-106(c) and 9-104(b) of the NYUCC. 
 Section 4. Delivery of Security Collateral. 
  

	(a)	On or prior to the date hereof, the Pledgor shall transfer or credit, or cause to be transferred or credited, all of the Pledged Securities to the Pledgee or to the Account or a
Securities Account under arrangements acceptable to the Pledgee in its sole discretion. Pledgor shall deliver all other Collateral to the Pledgee or to a Securities Intermediary subject to the control of the Pledgee under arrangements acceptable to
the Pledgee in its sole discretion. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the Pledgor expressly authorizes the Pledgee and the Pledgee shall have the right, at any time it reasonably
determines is necessary or desirable to enable the Pledgee to better perfect or protect the security interests granted hereunder, upon notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Pledgee or any of its nominees any or all
of the Collateral. 

  

	(b)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or at any time with the prior written consent of the Pledgor, the Pledgee may transfer, or require the Pledgor
to transfer the Collateral from the Account to an account at Citibank, N.A. (London, England branch) and to execute a replacement deposit agreement (in substantially the customary form used by the Pledgee, a copy of which deposit agreement has been
provided to Pledgor) in substitution for this Agreement. 

 Section 5. Use of Proceeds. Proceeds that are received in
respect of any Collateral shall be held as cash Collateral as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement. 
  

 2 

 Section 6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants
on the date of this Agreement and on each day (by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing) until this Agreement has expired or terminated, that: 
  

	(a)	The Pledgor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority (including,
without limitation, all governmental licenses, permits and other approvals except where such failure would not have a material adverse effect on the Pledgor’s business) to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. 

  

	(b)	The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, are within the Pledgor’s corporate
powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. 

  

	(c)	The Pledgor’s exact legal name, as defined in Section 9-503(a) of the NYUCC, is correctly set forth in Schedule 3 hereto. Such Pledgor has only the trade names
listed on Schedule 3 hereto. Such Pledgor is (i) located (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the NYUCC) and (ii) has its chief executive office in the state or jurisdiction set forth in Schedule 3 hereto. The
information set forth in Schedule 3 hereto with respect to such Pledgor is true and accurate in all respects. Such Pledgor has not previously changed its name, location, chief executive office, type of organization, jurisdiction of
organization or organizational identification number from those set forth in Schedule 3 hereto except as disclosed in Schedule 4 hereto. 

  

	(d)	All Collateral consisting of certificated securities and instruments has been delivered to the Pledgee. 

  

	(e)	The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest created under this
Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of such Collateral or listing the Pledgor or any trade name of the Pledgor as debtor with respect to such Collateral is on file in any
recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Pledgee. 

  

	(f)	No consent of any other Person and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third party
is required either (i) for the grant by the Pledgor of the assignment and security interest granted hereby, for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant hereto or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the
Pledgor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment and security interest created hereby (including the first priority nature of such pledge, assignment or security interest), except for the filing of financing and
continuation statements under the NYUCC, which financing statements have been duly filed and are in full force and effect, and the actions described in Section 4 with respect to the Collateral and the execution of the Account Control Agreement
(as defined below), which actions have been taken and are in full force and effect or (iii) for the exercise by the Pledgee of its rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement,
except as may be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. 

  

	(g)	The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to the Pledgor; (ii) conflict with the charter or by-laws or substantively similar constitutive documents of the Pledgor; or (iii) contravene or conflict with, or create a lien (other than
the lien in favour of the Pledgee created hereby) or right of termination or acceleration under, any contractual obligation binding upon the Pledgor. 

  

 3 

	(h)	The Pledgor shall cause Securities of the type specified in Schedule 1 (the “Qualifying Collateral”) to be pledged as Collateral so that at all times the
Letter of Credit Value of such Securities shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7(B)(II) of this Agreement, equal or exceed an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Credits (the “Required Account
Value”); and without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the Pledgor is not in compliance with the requirements of this subsection (h), the Pledgor shall within five Business Day cause additional Securities of the type specified in
Schedule 1 to be held as Collateral pursuant to Section 2 to the extent required to cause the Pledgor to be in compliance with this subsection (h). Final determination as to whether a security shall be treated as Qualifying Collateral
for the purposes of this Section 6(h) shall be at the sole discretion of the Pledgee. 

  

	  	The sum representing 25% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Credits which does not form part of the Required Account Value shall be defined for the purposes of this
Agreement as the “Unsecured Portion”. 

  

	(i)	The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral and the Pledgor has and shall at all times have rights in, and good and marketable title to, the Collateral, free and
clear of all Liens and “adverse claims” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the NYUCC), save as may have been disclosed by the Pledgor to the Pledgee in writing prior to the date of this Agreement. Liens in favour of
Citibank, N.A. securing the Pledgor’s reimbursement obligations to Citibank, N.A. in connection with the issuance of letters of credit shall be deemed to have been disclosed in writing to the Pledgee. The Pledgor undertakes, upon becoming aware
that it is to be subject to a Change of Control, to promptly inform the Pledgee of such fact and to enter into such additional documentation as may be required in order to ensure that the rights of the Pledgee under this Agreement are in no way
prejudiced including, but not limited to, the entering into of new Master Agreement and/or Pledge Agreement on substantially the same terms as those existing at such time. 

  

	(j)	This Agreement and the pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant hereto create a valid security interest in the Collateral in which a security interest may be created under
Article 9 of the NYUCC, securing the payment of such proportion of the Secured Obligations as is required under Section 6(h) hereof, (ii) this Agreement and the related Account Control Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (“the
Account Control Agreement”), by and among the Pledgor, the Pledgee and The Bank of New York Mellon are sufficient to perfect such security interest as to which perfection can be achieved by possession, control or the filing of financing
statements under the NYUCC, and (iii) assuming the Pledgee has no notice of any Liens or “adverse claims” (as such terms is defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the NYUCC) with respect to the Collateral, the Pledgee will take the
Collateral free and clear of any Liens and adverse claims. 

 Section 7. Undertakings. 
  

	A.	The Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee that it shall: 

  

	 	(a)	provide the Pledgee with each annual 10K filing made by RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., as soon as it is available and in any event within 95 days of its financial year end;

  

	 	(b)	provide the Pledgee with each 10Q filing made by RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., as soon as it is available and in any event within 50 days of the end of the relevant quarter; and

  

	 	(c)	provide the Pledgee with a copy of the Pledgor’s unaudited balance sheet as soon as it is available and in any event within 50 days of the end of the relevant quarter, prepared
in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments and expect that footnote and schedule disclosure may be abbreviated); 

  

 4 

 Failure to comply with such undertakings shall not comprise an Event of Default unless such failure
remains unremedied for a period of 30 days following the date upon which the Pledgee gave notice of such failure to the Pledgor. 
  

	B.      I	In respect of the Unsecured Portion only, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee that it shall comply at all times with the following financial covenants:

  

	 	(i)	Minimum Financial Strength Rating: the Pledgor will maintain at all times a Minimum Financial Strength Rating of at least “A-”. 

  

	 	  	“Financial Strength Rating” means (a) the financial strength rating given to the Pledgor by A.M. Best Company (or any successor) or (b) in the event that A.M.
Best Company ceases to exist or to issue financial strength ratings generally, the equivalent financial strength rating given to the Pledgor by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.) (or any
successor). 

  

	 	(ii)	Net Worth: Not to permit its Net Worth to be less than an amount equal to $960,000,000 (the “Required Net Worth”); provided, that, if the Pledgor’s Net Worth at any
time is less than the Required Net Worth, but is greater than or equal to $800,000,000 (the “Minimum Net Worth”), then, so long as the Required Rating is maintained, the Pledgor shall not be deemed to have failed to meet this financial
covenant for the purposes of Section 7(B)(II) below until the first day at which (i) the Net Worth is less than the Minimum Net Worth, (ii) the Financial Strength Rating is less than the Required Rating, (iii) there is no
publicly available Financial Strength Rating or (iv) the date which is three months from the date the Net Worth was less than the Required Net Worth if Net Worth continues to be less than the Required Net Worth. 

  

	 	(iii)	Leverage: The Group will maintain at all times a ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money (other than liens on invested assets pursuant to trusts) to Total Capital, of not
greater than .35 : 1.00. 

  

	        II	Should the Pledgor fail to meet any one or more of the financial covenants in Section 7(B)(I), the Pledgor shall within five Business Days of request by the Pledgee,
cause additional Securities of the type specified in Schedule 1 to be held as Collateral pursuant to Section 2 to the extent required so that at all times the Letter of Credit Value of all Securities held as Collateral shall equal or
exceed an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Credits. In such an event, the definition of “Required Account Value” as utilised herein shall be deemed duly amended so as to incorporate the additional
Collateral. Final determination as to whether a security shall be treated as Qualifying Collateral for the purposes of this Section 7(B)(II) shall be at the sole discretion of the Pledgee. Failure to comply with the terms of this
Section 7(B)(II) shall comprise an Event of Default. 

  

	 	III	Should one of the financial covenants set out in Section 7(B)(I) have been breached, such that the collateralisation trigger in Section 7(B)(II) has been exercised and
where the Pledgor has provided such additional Securities as are required to comply with said Section 7(B)(II), the Pledgee nevertheless agrees:- 

  

	 	(a)	that in the event that the breach has been rectified and the Pledgor can demonstrate, to the Pledgee’s reasonable satisfaction, that the financial covenants have been fully
complied with for a period of two full calendar year quarters, then 

  

	 	(b)	it shall release such additional Securities as are then being provided by the Pledgor solely as a result of its failure to comply with Section 7(B)(I) and the Required Account
Value shall be reduced to reflect such compliance and release. 

  

 5 

	 	  	For the avoidance of doubt, following a return of Collateral by the Pledgee as described in Section 7(B)(III)(b) above, Section 7 shall continue to apply as if such breach
had not occurred. Should, therefore, a further breach of the financial covenants set out in Section 7(B)(I) take place, the Pledgor will again be required to provide such additional Securities as are required in order to comply with the
requirements of Section 7(B)(II). 

 Section 8. Further Assurances. 
  

	(a)	The Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, within five Business Days of request, all
further Instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to continue, perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor will execute and file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other Instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, assignment and security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby. 

  

	(b)	The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of the Pledgor, and
regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the NYUCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering
the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Pledgor ratifies its authorization for the Pledgee to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior
to the date hereof. 

  

	(c)	The Pledgor will furnish to the Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of the Pledgor and such other reports in
connection with such Collateral as the Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. 

 Section 9. Post-Closing
Changes. Within ten Business Days after the date upon which the Pledgor changes its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Schedule 3, the Pledgor
will provide written notice to the Pledgee and take all action required by the Pledgee for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. The Pledgor will not become bound by a security agreement
authenticated by another Person (determined as provided in Section 9-203(d) of the NYUCC) in respect of the Collateral without giving the Pledgee 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and taking all action required by the Pledgee to ensure
that the perfection and first priority nature of the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral will be maintained. The Pledgor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will permit representatives of the Pledgee at
any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If the Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will for with notify the Pledgee of such
organizational identification number. 
 Section 10. Distributions. 
  

	(a)	Other than upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

  

	 	(i)	the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however,
that the Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof. 

  

 6 

	 	(ii)	to the extent consistent with Section 6(h), the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Securities;
provided, however, that any and all 

  

	 	(A)	distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and Instruments, Financial Assets and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or
in exchange for, any Collateral; and 

  

	 	(B)	cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, 

  

	  	shall be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, be segregated from the
other property or funds of the Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to the extent the Collateral is less than the Required Account Value.

  

	(b)	The Pledgee shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant
to paragraph (a)(ii) above. 

 Section 11. Transfer and Other Liens. The Pledgor shall not (i) sell, assign or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, including any right to give any Entitlement Order with respect to the
Collateral, except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created by this Agreement. 
 Section 12. Pledgee Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgee as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, full authority upon failure to perform any of the
obligations under each Master Agreement or this Agreement in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time, in the Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that
the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: 
  

	 	(a)	to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquaintance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

  

	 	(b)	to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments or documents, in connection with clause (a) above, and 

  

	 	(c)	to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Pledgee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to
enforce the rights of the Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral. 

 Section 13. Pledgee May Perform. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, should the Pledgor fail to perform any agreement contained herein, the Pledgee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor under Section 17(b) hereof. 
  

 7 

 Section 14. The Pledgee’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Pledgee 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 the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Pledgee
shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property. 
 Section 15. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations and any agreement with respect to the Secured Obligations, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Pledgor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Pledgor under the Master Agreements or whether the Pledgor is joined in any such action or actions. All
rights of the Pledgee and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and the Pledgor irrevocably waives (to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  

	(a)	any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, each Master Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

  

	(b)	any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from this Agreement or each Master Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations; 

  

	(c)	any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of
the Secured Obligations; 

  

	(d)	any manner of application of the Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or
any of the Secured Obligations or any other assets of the Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries; 

  

	(e)	any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries; or 

  

	(f)	any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor or a third party grantor of a security interest.

 Section 16. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred: 
  

	(a)	 The Pledgee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the NYUCC and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Pledgee’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the
Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of a notice of sale having
been given. The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, 

  

 8 

	 	 
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure alone by the Pledgor to meet its
obligations to provide additional Collateral under Section 7(B)(II) hereof shall not entitle the Pledgee to exercise its rights under this Section 16(a) in respect of such Collateral as was provided by the Pledgor in order to comply with
the requirements of Section 6(h) of this Agreement. 

  

	(b)	Any cash held by or on behalf of the Pledgee and all cash proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, be held by the Pledgee as Collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Pledgee pursuant to Section 17) in whole or in part by
the Pledgee against all or any part of the outstanding Secured Obligations in such order as the Pledgee shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Pledgee and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations
shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

  

	(c)	The Pledgee may, without notice to the Pledgor, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the
outstanding Secured Obligations against the Collateral or any part thereof. 

  

	(d)	All payments received by the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor that
do not constitute Collateral and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee or credited to the Account in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 

 Section 17. Indemnity and Expenses. 
  

	(a)	The Pledgor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Pledgee and its affiliates and its (and its affiliates’) officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)
that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent
such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  

	(b)	The Pledgor will, upon demand, pay to the Pledgee the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and
agents that the Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
(iii) the exercise or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Pledgee hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 Section 18. Currency. 
  

	(a)	For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgee may convert any monies received, recovered or realised or subject to application by the
Pledgee under this Agreement (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section) from their existing currency of denomination into such other currency of denomination as the Pledgee may think fit, and any such conversion shall be
effected at the Pledgee’s then prevailing spot rate of exchange for obtaining such other currency with the existing currency. 

  

	(b)	References herein to any currency extend to any funds of that currency and for the avoidance of doubt funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same
currency.

 Section 19. Amendments; Waivers; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and
no consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefor, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Pledgee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that notices and other communications to the Pledgee shall not be effective until received by the Pledgee. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or of any Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof. 
 Section 21. Continuing
Security Interest; Assignments. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash or, subject to the
Pledgee’s agreement, otherwise provided for, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor and the Pledgee and their respective successors and permitted assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Pledgee and its respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), where the Pledgee has assigned or otherwise transferred to any other Person all or any portion of its rights and obligations under a Master Agreement,
the Pledgee may assign or otherwise transfer to any other Person all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Pledgee herein or otherwise. The Pledgor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Pledgee such confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers
of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps related to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Pledgee deems reasonably advisable
to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral, including any actions which may be required or advisable as a result of any amendment or supplement to applicable laws, including the NYUCC. 
 Section 22. Release and Termination. Upon the later of (i) the date on which the Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash or, subject to the
Pledgee’s agreement, otherwise provided for or (ii) any termination as provided in each Master Agreement, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
Pledgor. Upon any such termination, the Pledgee will, at the Pledgor’s expense execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
  

 10 

 Section 23. Governing Law; Terms. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder in respect of any particular collateral is mandatorily governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New
York, in which case the laws of such other jurisdiction shall govern such matters. 
 Section 24. Jurisdiction, Venue. 
  

	(a)	The Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court (to the extent such
court has subject matter jurisdiction) sitting in New York City and any appellate court from any such court in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, and the
Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or in such Federal court. The Pledgor hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The Pledgor hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally
and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. The Pledgor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action
or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to such Pledgor at its address specified in Section 20. The Pledgor agrees that a final judgment in any such action 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. 

  

	(b)	Nothing in this Section 24 shall affect the right of the Pledgee to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or affect any right which the
Pledgee would otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against the Pledgor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 

  

	(c)	To the extent that the Pledgor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this subsection (c) shall have the fullest scope permitted under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended, and are
intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. 

 SECTION 25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PLEDGOR AND THE PLEDGEE
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE
PLEDGEE IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. 
 Section 26. Execution in Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or electronic transmission (i.e. “PDF” or “TIFF” files) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. 
  

 11 

 Section 27. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is or shall become illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain legal, valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction and such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be legal, valid and enforceable
in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 28. Termination of Prior Agreement. The parties agree that any prior pledge agreement between the
Pledgor and the Pledgee with respect to the Collateral is terminated as of the effective date of this Agreement.
