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 10% Coinsurance Agreement.  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.

If Prime Re determines that any such payment is due, it shall deliver a statement to the Obligor simultaneously with its delivery of the Risk Based Capital Report or quarterly estimate in respect of such quarter pursuant to Section 2, of the amount due, together with reasonably supporting calculations therefore, making a demand to the Obligor for the payment of such amount pursuant to this Section 3(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 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 10% Coinsurance Agreement.

4.Tax-Related Obligations.  If Prime Re makes one or more payments in respect of any United States federal income tax liability of Prime Re (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any estimated tax payments) to either (a) the United States Treasury Department or (b) any affiliate pursuant to any tax sharing, tax allocation or similar agreement that, in the case of either clause (a) or (b) or a combination of both, and, at the end of any quarter during the term of this Agreement, Prime Re's Total Adjusted Capital or Aggregate Statutory Book Value 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 an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of such payments over the aggregate amount of any prior contributions made pursuant to this Section 4 and (ii) such aggregate amount as shall cause each of Prime Re's Total Adjusted Capital and Aggregate Statutory Book Value, immediately upon receipt of such contribution, to equal or exceed the Capital Threshold.  If Prime Re determines that any such payment is due, it shall deliver a statement to the Obligor simultaneously with its delivery of the Risk Based Capital Report or quarterly estimate in respect of such quarter pursuant to Section 2, of the amount due, together with reasonably supporting calculations therefore, making a demand to the Obligor for the payment of such amount pursuant to this Section 4.  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 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 10% Coinsurance Agreement.  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.

5.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.

6
