upon the Parties hereto. The Underwriting Manager and the Company shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Auditor. The Underwriting Manager and the Company shall pay to each other any amount owed to the other as determined
by the Settlement Auditor within ten (10) days of its final determination.

or balances due from one Party to another Party under this Agreement shall be offset against any balance or balances due to the former from the latter under this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 12.1 Arbitration. 

(a) Except with respect to disagreements covered by Section 5.4, as a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder in the
event of any dispute or difference of opinion arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, breach, validity or termination, such dispute or difference of opinion shall be referred
to and finally resolved by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted under the UNCITRAL Model Law in accordance with the Bermuda International Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1993 and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules presently in force, except
as same may be expressly modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Parties. 
 (b) The tribunal shall consist of three
arbitrators, one of whom shall be nominated by the Underwriting Manager on behalf of itself, HPL and HPRe and the other of whom shall be nominated by the Company. The two arbitrators so nominated shall nominate the third arbitrator, who shall be the
chairman. If either of the Underwriting Manager or the Company refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of a written request by the other Party to do so, the Appointments’ Committee of the Chartered
Institute of Arbitrators Bermuda Branch (the “Appointing Authority”) shall appoint an arbitrator on such Party’s behalf. If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their
appointment, the chairman shall be appointed by the Appointing Authority. The arbitrators shall be present or former officers of property reinsurance companies, other than the Parties to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates, or other
professionals with significant experience in the property reinsurance business. 
 (c) The place of the arbitration shall be
Bermuda. 
 (d) The substantive law of the arbitration shall be that of Bermuda. 

(e) Each Party shall bear its own expenses and attorneys’ fees and the expense of its own arbitrator, and shall jointly and equally
bear with the other the expense of the chairman and of the arbitration. In the event that an arbitrator is chosen by the Appointing Authority because of a Party’s failure to appoint an arbitrator, as above provided, the expense of that
arbitrator shall be borne by that Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to award costs. 

(f) The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. 
 (g) In order to facilitate the
comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding or proceedings involving any of the
Parties hereto relating to this Agreement. The 
  

 22 

 arbitration tribunal shall consolidate such arbitrations if, but only if, it determines that (i) there
are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or
otherwise. All Parties to this Agreement have by its execution consented to this procedure and no further consent is required from any Party for this procedure to be effective. 

SECTION 12.2 Relationship of the Parties. The Underwriting Manager, HPL and HPRe, on the one hand, and the Company on the other,
and their respective Affiliates are and shall remain independent contractors and not employees or agents of each other. Except as expressly granted by the other Party in writing, neither Party shall have any authority, express or implied, to act as
an agent of the other Party or its subsidiaries or Affiliates under this Agreement. It is not the intent of the Parties hereto to create, nor should this Agreement be construed to create, a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship among
or between the Parties (including their respective officers, employees, agents or representatives). 
 SECTION 12.3
Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party
may pledge, assign, transfer, subcontract or delegate, either in whole or in part its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. 

SECTION 12.4 Amendment. This Agreement, including any appendices, may be amended by the Parties; provided, however,
that any amendment must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party. 
 SECTION 12.5 No Waiver
or Modification. None of the Parties shall be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies accruing to it hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such Party. Any waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
by another Party shall not be held to constitute a course of conduct or a waiver of a subsequent breach of that or any other provision. 

SECTION 12.6 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any further documents which
may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.7 Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction in any respect, such invalidity shall not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of any other provision or any other jurisdiction and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, and the affected term or provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as to achieve most fully the intention of this Agreement.

bear with the other the expense of the chairman and of the arbitration. In the event that an arbitrator is chosen by the Appointing Authority because of a Party’s failure to appoint an arbitrator, as above provided, the expense of that
arbitrator shall be borne by that Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to award costs. 

(f) The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. 
 (g) In order to facilitate the
comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding or proceedings involving any of the
Parties hereto relating to this Agreement. The arbitration tribunal shall consolidate such arbitrations if, but only if, it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding
would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. All Parties to this Agreement have by its execution consented to this procedure
and no further consent is required from any Party for this procedure to be effective. 
 SECTION 12.2 Relationship of the
Parties. The Underwriting Manager, HPL and HPRe, on the one hand, and the Company on the other, and their respective Affiliates are and shall remain independent contractors and not employees or agents of each other. Except as expressly granted
by the other Party in writing, neither Party shall have any authority, express or implied, to act as an agent of the other Party or its subsidiaries or Affiliates under this Agreement. It is not the intent of the Parties hereto to create, nor should
this Agreement be construed to create, a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship among or between the Parties (including their respective officers, employees, agents or representatives). 

SECTION 12.3 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party may pledge, assign, transfer, subcontract or delegate, either in whole or in part its rights and obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. 
 SECTION 12.4 Amendment. This Agreement, including
any appendices, may be amended by the Parties; provided, however, that any amendment must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party. 

 

 22 

 SECTION 12.5 No Waiver or Modification. None of the Parties shall be deemed to have
waived any rights or remedies accruing to it hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such Party. Any waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by another Party shall not be held to constitute a course of
conduct or a waiver of a subsequent breach of that or any other provision. 
 SECTION 12.6 Further Assurances. Each Party
agrees to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any further documents which may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction in any respect, such invalidity shall not affect the validity, legality and
enforceability of any other provision or any other jurisdiction and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, and the affected term
or provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as to achieve most fully the intention of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.8 Governing Law. The laws of Bermuda shall govern all matters concerning the validity, performance, and interpretation
of this Agreement.

given under this Agreement by any of the Parties shall be deemed properly served if sent to the recipient by reputable express courier service (charges paid) or by facsimile. Date of service of such notice shall be one (1) Business Day after
date of delivery to the overnight courier if sent by overnight courier, or if by facsimile, the date the facsimile is confirmed if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the recipient’s next Business
Day if not received during the recipient’s normal business hours. Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the addresses indicated below or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient has

 24 

 rule of strict construction will be applied against any Party. This Agreement has been negotiated by the
Parties, and the fact that the initial and final draft will have been prepared by any Party or an intermediary will not give rise to any presumption for or against any Party to this Agreement to be used in any respect or forum in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement. Each Party participated in drafting this Agreement. Words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the
masculine, feminine and neuter. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 

SECTION 12.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterpart, when so

SECTION 12.15 Force Majeure. Neither the Company nor the Underwriting Manager shall have any liability for any failure to perform
this Agreement in accordance with its terms if such failure is caused by unforeseeable causes beyond the control of such Party, which may include unavailability of communications, facilities, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of third parties
including delays of maintenance and vendors, acts of civil or military authority, fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, accidents, explosions, sabotage, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, national emergency, system failure, unavailability
of energy sources, materials or equipment, delay in transportation, riots, terrorism or war, provided, however, that such Party promptly (i) notifies the other Parties to this Agreement of its inability to so perform, the steps
and plans it will take to rectify such inability and the anticipated length of such inability and (ii) acts diligently to rectify such inability.
