VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 8, 2009 by and between Transatlantic Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Davis Selected Advisors, L.P., a Colorado limited partnership (“Stockholder”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the record and Beneficial Owner of shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, each of Stockholder and the Company desires, for its mutual benefit and protection, to enter into this Agreement with respect to certain matters relating to the voting of the Shares and certain other matters set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.            Agreement to Vote.  The Stockholder hereby agrees to vote the number of Shares Beneficially Owned by it in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding Shares (such number of Shares, the “Excess Shares”) on each matter on which the Excess Shares shall be entitled to vote at every duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, or to act by written consent in lieu of any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, in a manner proportionate to the vote of the holders of the Shares (other than Stockholder, stockholders of the Company Beneficially Owning more than 10% of the outstanding Shares and directors and officers of the Company)
voting on (and entitled to vote on) such matter.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Beneficial Ownership”, “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficially Own” refer to ownership by any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares (a) voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or (b) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security; and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2.            Grant of Proxy.

(a)          Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Company, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote at any meeting (and any adjournment or postponement thereof) of the Company’s stockholders called for any purpose, or to execute a written consent of stockholders in lieu of any such meeting, all Excess Shares that Stockholder is entitled to vote as of the relevant record date in the manner specified in Section 1 hereto.  

 

 

 

 

(b)          
The proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke all prior proxies granted by Stockholder.  Stockholder shall not grant any proxy to any person which conflicts with the proxy granted herein, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  

(c)          
If Stockholder fails for any reason to vote its Excess Shares as required by Section 1 hereof, then the Company shall have the right to vote the Excess Shares at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders and in any action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 1.  The vote of the Company shall control in any conflict between a vote of such Excess Shares by the Company and a vote of such Excess Shares by Stockholder.

3.            Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder.  The Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

CONVERSION RIGHTS; CONVERSION PRICE

Section 2.1. Conversion. The Holder shall have
the right, prior to the date on which this Note is paid in full, to convert at
any time, or from time to time, any part of the outstanding interest or
Principal Amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Price determined as provided herein. Promptly
after the surrender of this Note, accompanied by a Notice of Conversion of
Convertible Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, properly completed
and duly executed by the Holder (a “Conversion Notice”), the Company shall
issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of
Common Stock for the that portion of this Note to be converted as shall be
determined in accordance herewith. 

          No
fraction of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued
on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the
nearest whole share. The date on which Notice of Conversion is given (the
“Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes the
Notice of Conversion duly executed to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the
Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number
__________Attn.: R. Terry Leiweke, President. Certificates representing Common
Stock upon conversion will be delivered to the Holder within five (5) Trading
Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company.
Delivery of shares upon conversion shall be made to the address specified by
the Holder in the Notice of Conversion.

          In
the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such
shares of Common Stock within five (5) Trading Days from the date the Notice of
Conversion is delivered to the Company, the Holder will be entitled to revoke
the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the
Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of
Conversion, and in such event no late payments shall be due in connection with
such withdrawn conversion.

          If
the average closing price for the Company’s common stock on the NASD OTCBB (or
such other principal market upon which the Common Stock of the Company may be
listed) for 

2

twenty (20)
consecutive trading days following the effectiveness of the registration of the
shares issuable upon conversion of this Note is equal to or greater than $2.50
per share and the average daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock
over such twenty-day period is equal to or greater than fifty-thousand (50,000)
shares per day, we shall have unlimited discretion to call this Note at its
conversion price of $_____ per share within fifteen (15) business days of such
occurrence by providing written notice to the Holder. Certificates for shares
purchased by conversion hereunder shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within twenty (20) Trading Days after the date on which this Note shall have
been converted by the Company as aforesaid. This Note shall be deemed to have
been converted and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have
been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named herein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all
purposes, as of the date the Note has been converted by notice given by the
Company. 

Section 2.2. Conversion. The number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be
determined by dividing (i) the amount of Principal and interest to be converted
by (ii) the Conversion Price. 

Section 2.3. Conversion Price. Upon any
conversion of this Note, the conversion price shall be $_____ per share,
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events
(the “Conversion Price”) as set forth below.

          (a)
Stock Splits, etc. In case the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to
holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares
of Common Stock which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive had
such Note been converted in advance thereof. An adjustment made pursuant to
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

          (b)
Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the
Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or
distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets
or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or
any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in
addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the
holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it
is the surviving corporation, and 

3

Other Property
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible immediately prior to
such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation
(if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this
Note to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and
liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of the number of
shares of common stock into which this Note is convertible which shall be as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 2.3(b). For purposes of this Section 2.3(b), “common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(b) shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.

          (c)
Subsequent Sales of Common Stock. If the Company at any time sells,
grants any option to purchase, otherwise disposes of, or issues (or announces
any sale, grant, or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock of the Corporation at an effective price per share that is lower than the
conversion price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such
issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price shall
be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. 

          (d)
Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock or
number or kind of securities or other property issuable upon the conversion of
this Note or the Conversion Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
to the Holder of this Note notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting
forth the number of shares of Common Stock (and other securities or property)
issuable upon the conversion of this Note and the Conversion Price of such
shares of Common Stock (and other securities or property) after such
adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
Such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of
the correctness of such adjustment.

Section 2.4. Notice of Corporate Action.
If at any time:

          (a)
the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any
right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right, or

          (b)
there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or
merger of the 

4

Company with,
or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the
property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation or,

          (c)
there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Company;

          then,
in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least
30 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify
(x) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount
and character thereof, and (y) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 5.1.

Section 2.5. Method of Conversion.
Except as otherwise provided in this Note or agreed to by the Holder, this Note
may be converted by the Holder pursuant to its conversion rights set forth in
Section 2.1 in whole at any time or in part (provided each such partial
conversion is at least $10,000) by submitting to the Company a Conversion
Notice and surrendering this Note with the mailed confirmation of the
Conversion Notice at the office of the Company as provided in Section 5.1. Upon
a partial conversion of this Note, a new note containing the same date and
provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company to the Holder for the
balance due hereunder which shall not have been converted.

Section 2.6. Restrictions on Securities.
This Note has been issued by the Company pursuant to the exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). None of
this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) they first shall have
been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) the
Company shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form,
substance and scope reasonably acceptable to Company) to the effect that such
sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. Each
certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
that have not been so registered and that have not been sold pursuant to an
exemption that permits removal of the applicable legend, shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
THE
 SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
 ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE
 OFFERED, SOLD OR 

	
 

5

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
OTHERWISE
 TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
 SECURITIES LAWS, OR SUCH OFFERS, SALES AND TRANSFERS ARE MADE PURSUANT TO AN
 AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

	
 

Upon the
request of a holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall remove the foregoing legend
from the certificate or issue to such Holder a new certificate free of any
transfer legend, if (a) with such request, the Company shall have received an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form, substance
and scope, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such
certificate or (b) a registration statement under the Act covering such
securities is in effect.

Section 2.7. Reservation of Common Stock.

          (a)
The Company covenants that during the period the Note is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock of the Company upon the
Conversion of the Note. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Note shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon the
conversion of this Note. The Company will take all such reasonable action as
may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of
any requirements of the NASD OTCBB (or such other principal market upon which
the Common Stock of the Company may be listed).

          (b)
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of this Note above the amount payable therefor upon such conversion
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion of this Note, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Note.

          (c)
Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this
Note is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to
Holder, the continuing validity of this Note and the obligations of the Company
hereunder.

          (d)
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the current
Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon 

6

conversion of
the Notes, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

          (e)
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible or in the Conversion
Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof,
or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

          (f)
If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and
available shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Note, then
the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within
forty-five (45) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock.

Section 2.8. Prepayment. 

          (a)
The Company shall have the option to prepay some or all of the outstanding
Principal Amount of this Note, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9.
The prepayment price shall be equal to the outstanding Principal Amount (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid as of the date of prepayment (the “Prepayment
Date”) together with any accrued and unpaid interest. If this Note is called
for prepayment pursuant this Section 2.8, the Company shall give written notice
to the Holder not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days

be prepaid as specified in such notice (the “Prepayment Amount”). Holders may
convert their Notes pursuant to Article II of this Note during the period from
the date of notice of prepayment until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the business
day immediately prior to the Prepayment Date.

          (b)
If all of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is being prepaid, and
if the Holder does not wish to convert the Note, the Holder shall cause such
Note to be timely delivered to the Company at its principal offices after
receiving the notice of prepayment required by this Section 2.8. 

          (c)
If (i) upon notice of any prepayment a Holder determines not to convert his
note with in the period provided in Section 2.8(a); and (ii) on or before the
Prepayment Date the Company makes payment to Holder of 100% of the outstanding
Principal Amount of the Note, then, on and after said Prepayment Date,
notwithstanding that this Note shall not have been surrendered for prepayment,
the obligation evidenced by the Note shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and
all rights with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and terminate.

Section 2.9. Paying Agent and Registrar.
Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may
change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder
not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice of its election to do so,
specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the
paying agent or registrar.
