 JANUARY 8, 2010 
 This Amendment to the Agreement
(defined below) is entered into as of January 8, 2010, by and among RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) and Neill A. Currie (“Employee”). All terms not defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend the Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and considerations contained in this Amendment and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the parties
agree as follows: 
 The definition of “Applicable Severance Benefits” set forth in Section 1(d) of the Agreement
shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(d) “Applicable Severance Benefits” shall mean an
amount equal to two times Employee’s Base Salary as in effect as of December 31, 2008.” 
 Section 1(x) of
the Agreement shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “[Intentionally omitted.]” 
 The following definitions shall be added to the Agreement as new Section 1(ii) and (jj): 
 “(ii) “Peer Group” shall mean the following group of companies: Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, Ltd, Arch
Capital Group Ltd., Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited, Axis Capital Holdings Limited, Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., Everest Re Group, Ltd., Flagstone Reinsurance Holdings Ltd., Max Capital Group Ltd., Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd., PartnerRe Ltd.,

 (jj) “Total Shareholder Return” during any period shall mean, with respect to the Company or a given member of the Peer Group, stock price appreciation plus dividends during such period,

 
assumed to be reinvested quarterly, provided that stock price shall be measured as average stock price for the 20 trading days at the start and end of such period.” 
 Section 4(e) of the Agreement shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(e) Special Equity Grant. On or about February 22, 2010, subject to Employee’s continued
employment with the Company through the date of grant, Employee shall be granted pursuant to the one of the Equity Plans a number of shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”) equal to the quotient of
$11,156,250 divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the primary exchange over which it is traded on the date of grant (the “Special Equity Grant”). The Special Equity grant shall be divided into four
substantially equal vesting tranches, as described below, and the total number of Restricted Shares in any given tranche shall be earned only if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the applicable vesting period is at or above the 75
th percentile among the Peer Group, as determined in good
faith by the Compensation Committee. The Special Equity Grant shall have those terms and conditions as are established by the Compensation Committee and set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement to be entered into by the Company and Employee no
later than the date of grant and as is consistent with annual restricted stock awards generally granted to senior executives of the Company, but subject to the terms of this Agreement including the following terms and conditions, unless otherwise
agreed in writing by the Company and Employee: 
 (i) Dividends paid on Restricted Shares prior to vesting shall revert to the
Company, and shall never be paid to, or accumulated for the benefit of, Employee. 
 (ii) One fourth of the Restricted Shares
(“Tranche 1”) shall be subject to vesting based on (x) the Company’s Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during calendar year 2010 and (y) Employee’s continued service through December 31,
2011 (other than as otherwise specified in this Section 4(e)). 
 (iii) One fourth of the Restricted Shares
(“Tranche 2”) shall be subject to vesting based on (x) the Company’s Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during calendar year 2011 and (y) Employee’s continued service through December 31,
2011 (other than as otherwise specified in this Section 4(e)). 
 (iv) One fourth of the Restricted Shares (“Tranche
3”) shall be subject to vesting based on (x) the Company’s Total Shareholder

  

 2 

 
Return relative to the Peer Group during calendar year 2012 and (y) Employee’s continued service through December 31, 2013 (other than as otherwise specified in this
Section 4(e)). 
 (v) One fourth of the Restricted Shares (“Tranche 4”) shall be subject to vesting based
on (x) the Company’s Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during calendar year 2013 and (y) Employee’s continued service through December 31, 2013 (other than as otherwise specified in this Section 4(e)).

 (vi) As to the Restricted Shares in each of Tranche 1, Tranche 2, Tranche 3, and Tranche 4 respectively, assuming that the
service condition is attained: 
 A. If the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the calendar year
applicable to such tranche is at or below the 35th
percentile relative to the Peer Group, none of the Restricted Shares will vest. 
 B. If the Company’s
Total Shareholder Return during the calendar year applicable to such tranche is at the 50th percentile relative to the Peer Group, Employee shall vest in a number of the Restricted Shares (the “Target Number”) equal to $1,593,750 divided by the closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the primary exchange over which it is traded on the date of grant. 
 C. If
the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the calendar year applicable to such tranche is at or above the 75th percentile relative to the Peer Group, Employee shall vest in all of the Restricted Shares. 
 D. If the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during a given calendar year relative to the Peer Group is between the
35th percentile and the 50th percentile, or between the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile, Employee shall vest in a number of Restricted Shares
resulting from a linear interpolation of such percentile attainment between such two specific percentiles. 
 (vii) Upon the
termination of Employee’s employment by Employee without Good Reason (other than a Retirement), or by the Company for Cause, all unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately forfeit. 
 (viii) Upon the termination of Employee’s employment due to death, by the Company without Cause or due to Disability, or by Employee
with Good Reason, the Restricted Shares in each of Tranche 1, Tranche 2, Tranche 3, and Tranche 4, respectively, shall either (1) if, as of the date of such termination, the applicable calendar-year performance period has expired, vest
immediately

  

 3 

 
based on the Company’s actual Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during such year without regard to such termination of employment, or (2) if, as of the date of such
termination, the applicable calendar-year performance period has not expired, vest immediately at the Target Number, prorated based on the number of days elapsed from the date of grant through and including the date of such termination. All
Restricted Shares remaining unvested after the application of the preceding sentence shall immediately forfeit. 
 (ix) Upon the
termination of Employee’s employment by Employee in a Retirement, the Restricted Shares in each of Tranche 1, Tranche 2, Tranche 3, and Tranche 4, respectively, shall either (1) if, as of the date of such termination, the applicable
calendar-year performance period has expired, vest immediately based on the Company’s actual Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during such year without regard to such termination of employment, or (2) if, as of the date
of such termination, the applicable calendar-year performance period has not expired, remain outstanding through the last day of the applicable calendar-year performance period without regard to such termination of employment and vest based on the
Company’s actual Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group during such calendar-year performance period, prorated based on the number of days elapsed from the date of grant through and including the date of such termination. All
Restricted Shares remaining unvested after the application of the preceding sentence shall immediately forfeit. 
 (x) Upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control, Restricted Shares in each of Tranche 1, Tranche 2, Tranche 3, and Tranche 4 as to which the applicable service vesting period has not expired shall vest in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the Target
Number in such tranche and (2) the number of Restricted Shares in such tranche which would have vested had (I) Employee remained employed for the entire applicable service vesting period and (II) the Company’s Total Shareholder
Return relative to the Peer Group had been attained over the entire applicable performance period at a level extrapolated by the Compensation Committee in good faith from the extent to which such Total Shareholder Return had been attained at the end
of the Company’s fiscal year ending immediately prior to the Change in Control (and if the Change in Control occurs after the date of grant and prior to January 1, 2011, this sub-clause B) shall not apply). All Restricted Shares remaining
unvested after the application of the preceding sentence shall immediately forfeit.” 
  

 4 

 Section 8(b)(vi) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following provision: 
 “Vesting, as of the date of termination, of all Awards (other than the Special Equity Grant,
which shall be governed by Section 4(e)(viii)), and any Awards that are stock options shall remain outstanding until the earliest of (x) exercise, (y) the expiration of the original term, and (z) the fifth anniversary of the date
of termination.” 
 The following provision shall be added as new Section 8(m) of the Agreement, and current
Section 8(m) of the Agreement, and all cross-references thereto in the Agreement, shall be renumbered accordingly: 
 “Prepayment of Certain Severance Benefits. During each calendar year commencing with calendar year 2010, and ending upon Employee’s termination of employment, Employee shall receive a payment (each such payment,
a “Prepaid Severance Installment”) equal to two times the amount, if any, by which Employee’s Base Salary as in effect as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Prior Year”)
exceeded Employee’s Base Salary as in effect as of the end of the calendar year immediately preceding the Prior Year; provided, however, that to the extent Employee ceases to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
or is terminated by the Company for Cause (each case, a “Repayment Trigger”), in either case following the date on which Employee receives a Prepaid Severance Installment pursuant to this Section 8(m), Employee shall repay to
the Company an amount equal to all Prepaid Severance Installments received prior to the occurrence of such Repayment Trigger. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to the payment of any Prepaid Severance Installment(s) in
respect of a given year or year(s), Employee suffers a termination of employment as a result of which Employee becomes entitled to payment of the Applicable Severance Benefits (or would have become entitled to the Applicable Severance Benefits but
for the operation of Section 8(l) above), such then-unpaid Prepaid Severance Installment(s) shall be paid to Employee upon such termination.” 
 The following provision shall be added to the Agreement as new Section 8(o): 
 “Offset. In the event Employee is required to repay any amounts to the Company pursuant to Section 8(l), (m), or (n), the Company may offset such amounts against any monies owed to Employee or his estate following the date
on which such obligation to repay arises, except to the extent such offset is not permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of additional taxes or penalties on Employee.” 
  

 5 

 *        *        * 
 Except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein, all terms and provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment to the Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

         This Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made as of January 11, 2010 by and among MTI

(“Common Stock”), and Warrants (each, a “Warrant”) in substantially the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit C, over a period of twelve (12) months. The Common
Stock, the Warrants, and the equity securities issuable upon exercise thereof
are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” 

     

    AGREEMENT 

     

         In consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to
purchase and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser (i) an
aggregate of up to 28,571,429 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per
share of $0.070 (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000.03;
and (ii) Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to

         2. Additional
Provisions.

     

              (a) Stock Purchase
Agreement. The Purchaser
understands and agrees that the exercise of the Warrants for equity securities
of the Company may require the Purchaser’s execution of certain agreements

         3. Representations and Warranties of the
Company. The Company
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:

of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

     

              (b) Authorization. This Agreement,
the Common Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The Agreement and the Warrants, when executed and
delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations

respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited
by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief,
or other equitable remedies. 

     

         4. Representations and Warranties of the

binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

              (b) Purchase Entirely for Own
Account. This Agreement is
made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the
Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be
acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not
presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any

sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the securities. 

     

              (d) Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser
understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under
the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s
representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the
Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold
the Securities indefinitely
unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The
Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements
including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period
for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are
outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation
and may not be able to satisfy. 

     

              (e) No Public Market. The Purchaser
understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by
the Company, that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will
ever exist for the Securities. 

     

              (f) Legends. The Purchaser
understands that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect thereof or
exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the following legends: 

     

                   (i) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE
SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

     

    -4- 

     

    

    
    

                   (ii) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws
of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by
the certificate so legended. 

     

              (g)
Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is
an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act. 

     

              (h) Legal Advice. The Purchaser has
had the opportunity to consult with his, her or its counsel regarding the
matters relevant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

              (i) Foreign Investors. If the Purchaser
is not a United States person or entity (as defined by Rule 902(k) under the
Securities Act), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as
to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any
invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement,

and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant
to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The

ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other
laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction.
