Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. Organization
Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Third Point Re” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011.  Through its reinsurance subsidiaries, the Company is a provider of global property and casualty reinsurance products. The Company operates through two licensed reinsurance subsidiaries, Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Third Point Re BDA”), a Bermuda reinsurance company that commenced operations in January 2012, and Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. (“Third Point Re USA”). 
Third Point Re USA is a Bermuda reinsurance company that was incorporated on November 21, 2014 and commenced operations in February 2015. Third Point Re USA made an election under Section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be taxed as a U.S. entity. Third Point Re USA prices and underwrites reinsurance business from an office in the United States.  Third Point Re USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. (“TPRUSA”), an intermediate holding company based in the U.S., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (UK) Holdings Ltd. (“Third Point Re UK”), an intermediate holding company based in the United Kingdom. Third Point Re UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re.
In August 2012, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing (UK) Limited (“TPRUK”). In May 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
In September 2020, the Company co-founded Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd (“Arcadian”), a managing general agent incorporated in Bermuda writing business on behalf of the Company. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020. Arcadian is considered a variable interest entity and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As a result, Arcadian is consolidated by the Company and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.
Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.
2. Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its 2019 Form 10-K.

Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total net investment income (loss), total revenues or net income (loss).
Recently issued accounting standards
Issued and effective as of September 30, 2020
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The amendments in ASU 2018-17 for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest require reporting entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety. ASU 2018-17 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2018-17 did not impact the Company’s assessment of its variable interest entity.
Issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2020
Other accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were either not relevant to the Company or did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments
The following table provides a summary of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
September 30,

Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments $ 1,742,327  $ 1,796,575 
(1)Restricted cash securing letter of credit facilities primarily pertains to letters of credit that have been issued to the Company’s clients in support of our obligations under reinsurance contracts. The Company will not be released from the obligation to provide these letters of credit until the reserves underlying the reinsurance contracts have been settled. The time period for which the Company expects each letter of credit to be in place varies from contract to contract but can last several years.
(2)Restricted cash and restricted investments securing reinsurance contracts pertain to trust accounts securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled. Restricted investments include certain investments in debt securities including U.S. Treasury securities, sovereign debt, and

6



limited partnership interests in Third Point Enhanced LP (“TP Fund”). The time period for which the Company expects these trust accounts to be in place varies from contract to contract, but can last several years.
(3)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Third Point Enhanced LP
On July 31, 2018, Third Point Re, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (the “2018 LPA”) of TP Fund with Third Point Advisors (“TP GP”) and others, effective August 31, 2018.
On February 28, 2019, Third Point Re, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (the “2019 LPA”) of TP Fund which amended and restated the 2018 LPA, effective January 1, 2019.
On August 6, 2020, Third Point Re, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Third Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (“2020 LPA”) of TP Fund, which amended and restated the 2019 LPA, which will become effective at the closing of the merger with Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. (“Sirius”), except for the amendment to the calculation of the loss recovery account which becomes effective on December 31, 2020. The 2020 LPA updated the terms of the 2019 LPA to reflect adjustments to the loss carryforward terms for the year ended December 31, 2020. The performance of certain fixed income and other investments managed by Third Point LLC will now be considered when calculating the performance fee allocation and loss recovery account amounts under the terms of the 2019 LPA. Other material terms of the 2020 LPA will become effective upon closing of the merger.
The TP Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies. Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to single security analysis supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of the capital markets or in the pricing of particular

7



securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures.
TP Fund meets the definition of a variable interest entity principally because of the existence of disproportionate rights in the partnership compared to the obligations to absorb the expected losses and right to receive the expected residual returns of TP Fund’s results. As of September 30, 2020, the Company and TP GP hold interests of approximately 85.9% and 14.1%, respectively, of the net asset value of TP Fund. As a result, both entities hold significant financial interests in TP Fund. However, TP GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP Fund. As a result, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate TP Fund. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no unfunded commitments related to TP Fund and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investments in TP Fund.
Under the 2019 LPA, the TPRE Limited Partners have the right to withdraw funds weekly from TP Fund to pay claims and expenses as needed, to meet capital adequacy requirements and to satisfy financing obligations. The TPRE Limited Partners may also withdraw their investment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2019 LPA and may withdraw their investment in full on December 31, 2021 and each successive three-year anniversary of such date.
Other investments
In addition to serving as the investment manager for TP Fund, Third Point LLC also serves as investment manager for the Company’s collateral and other investment assets, which consist of cash, U.S. Treasuries, sovereign debt, structured and corporate credit fixed income securities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company expanded its fixed income portfolio by investing in structured credit and corporate credit securities such as corporate bonds and bank debt. The Company has also hedged part of the interest rate risk underlying these securities by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries which are included in securities sold, not yet purchased in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020.
5. Fair value measurements
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the investment, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.

8



Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The following tables present the Company’s investments, categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The total change in unrealized gains (losses) on equity and debt securities held at the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $nil and $16.3 million, respectively (2019 - $nil and $6.8 million, respectively).
Private common and preferred equity securities
Private common and preferred equity securities are those not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used may include market approach, last transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the significant inputs could include but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue multiples or price-earnings ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, third party valuation firms may be employed to conduct investment valuations of such private securities. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, these are classified as Level 3.
Debt securities
Debt securities are priced using broker dealer quotes or a recognized third-party pricing vendor. The key inputs for corporate, government and sovereign bonds valuation are coupon frequency, coupon rate and underlying bond spread. The key inputs for asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are yield, probability of default, loss severity and prepayment.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s ABS holdings primarily consisted of private-label issued, non-investment grade securities, and none of these securities were guaranteed by a government sponsored entity. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. As an investor in these classes of ABS, the Company may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, the Company may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.
As of September 30, 2020, $nil of securities and $nil of securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued based on broker quotes.

Investments in funds valued at NAV
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships, including its investment in related party investment fund, at fair value. The Company has elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on the Company’s share of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). These investments are included in investment in funds valued at NAV and excluded from the presentation of investments categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the NAVs, the Company performs a number of monitoring procedures on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, to assess the quality of the information provided by the investment manager and fund administrator underlying the preparation of the NAV. These procedures include, but are not limited to, regular review and discussion of the fund’s performance with the investment manager.
Embedded derivatives
The Company has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative reported in other expenses. The Company’s embedded derivatives relate to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts that vary based on the returns on the Company’s investments managed by Third Point LLC. The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives using models developed by the Company. As the significant inputs used to price embedded derivatives are unobservable, these are classified as Level 3.
The following table presents the reconciliation of all investments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

6. Due from brokers
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company expanded its fixed income portfolio by investing in structured credit and corporate credit securities such as corporate bonds and bank debt. The Company has also hedged part of the interest rate risk underlying these securities by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries.
The Company holds substantially all of its fixed income investments through prime brokers pursuant to agreements between the Company and each prime broker. The brokerage arrangements differ from broker to broker, but generally cash and investments in securities are available as collateral against investments in securities sold, not yet purchased, if required.

12



As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s due from/to brokers were comprised of the following:
September 30,
2020
Due from brokers
Cash held at brokers $ 69,824 
Receivable from unsettled trades (1)
11,318 
$ 81,142 
(1) Receivables relating to securities sold by the Company were recorded as receivable from unsettled trades in due from brokers in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Due from brokers include cash balances maintained with the Company’s prime brokers, receivables from unsettled trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet purchased.
Margin debt balances were collateralized by cash held by the broker and certain of the Company’s securities. Margin interest was paid either at the daily broker call rate or based on London Inter-bank Offered Rate. Amounts are borrowed through committed facilities with terms of up to 90 days, secured by assets of the Company held by the prime broker, and incur interest based on the Company’s negotiated rates. This interest expense is reflected in other net investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
7. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was comprised of the following:
September 30,
2020
December 31, 2019
Case loss and loss adjustment expense reserves $ 232,697  $ 148,166 
Incurred but not reported loss and loss adjustment expense reserves 952,319  963,359 
Deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance contracts 1,133  167 
$ 1,186,149  $ 1,111,692

The following table represents the activity in the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019
Gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of period $ 1,111,692  $ 937,157 
Less: loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, beginning of period (5,520) (2,031)

Plus: loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, end of period 13,626  4,270 
Plus: deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance contracts 6,054  4,606 
Gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, end of period $ 1,186,149  $ 1,060,000 
Changes in the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves result from re-estimating loss reserves and from changes in premium earnings estimates. Furthermore, many of the Company’s contracts have sliding scale or profit commissions whereby loss reserve development can be offset by changes in acquisition costs that vary inversely with loss experience. In some instances, the Company can have loss reserve development on contracts where there is no sliding scale or profit commission or where the loss ratio falls outside of the loss ratio range to which the sliding scale or profit commission applies.
The $14.9 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $30.4 million of net favorable reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates, partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts. The net decrease in loss reserves as well as the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions is explained as follows:
The $30.4 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was accompanied by net increases of $20.0 million in acquisition costs and net decreases of $7.8 million in earned premium, resulting in a $2.6 million improvement in the net underwriting results, primarily due to:
$6.5 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$2.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development from several other contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience; partially offset by
$6.7 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
$0.1 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of worse than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of

14



$23.2 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $23.3 million.
The $15.5 million net increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates was accompanied by a $2.9 million increase in acquisition costs, for a total of $18.4 million increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs. The increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs was due to an increase in prior period earned premium of $19.2 million. The increase in prior period earned premium was the result of changes in ultimate premium and earning pattern estimates. The net impact was a $0.8 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In total, the change in net underwriting results for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates resulted in a $3.4 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had unamortized deferred charges of $6.1 million (December 31, 2019 - $6.7 million) relating to retroactive reinsurance contracts. Deferred charges on retroactive contracts are recorded in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The $82.4 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $88.8 million of net favorable reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates, partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts. The net decrease in loss reserves as well as the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions is explained as follows:
The $88.8 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was accompanied by net increases of $84.5 million in acquisition costs, resulting in a $4.3 million improvement in the net underwriting results, primarily due to:
$8.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$3.2 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our non-standard auto contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$0.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $69.5 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $68.6 million; partially offset by
$6.4 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our multi-line contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
$2.2 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts, as a result of worse than expected loss experience.
The $6.4 million net increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates was accompanied by a $2.1 million increase in acquisition costs, for a total of $8.5 million increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs. The increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs was due to an increase in prior period earned premium of $8.0 million. The increase in prior period earned premium was the result of changes in ultimate premium and earning pattern estimates. The net impact was a $0.5 million increase in net underwriting loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In total, the change in net underwriting loss for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates resulted in a $3.8 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

8. Management and performance fees
Management fees
Pursuant to the 2019 LPA, Third Point LLC is entitled to receive monthly management fees. Management fees are charged at the TP Fund level and are calculated based on 1.25% of the investment in TP Fund and multiplied by an exposure multiplier computed by dividing the average daily investment exposure leverage of the TP Fund by the average daily investment exposure leverage of the Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P. (“Offshore Master Fund”). Third Point LLC also serves as the investment manager for the Offshore Master Fund.
There are no management fees associated with the management of the other investment assets managed by Third Point LLC.
Performance fees
Pursuant to the 2019 LPA, TP GP receives a performance fee allocation equal to 20% of the Company’s investment income in the related party investment fund. The performance fee is included as part of “Investment in related party investment fund” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet since the fees are charged at the TP Fund level.
The performance fee is subject to a loss carryforward provision pursuant to which TP GP is required to maintain a loss recovery account, which represents the sum of all prior period net loss amounts and not subsequently offset by prior year net profit amounts, and that is allocated to future profit amounts until the loss recovery account has returned to a positive balance. Until such time, no performance fees are payable, provided that the loss recovery account balance shall be reduced proportionately to reflect any withdrawals from TP Fund. The 2019 LPA preserves the loss carryforward attributable to our investment in TP Fund when contributions to TP Fund are made within nine months of certain types of withdrawals from TP Fund.
Pursuant to the 2020 LPA, the performance of certain fixed income and other investments managed by Third Point LLC are now included when calculating the performance fee allocation and loss recovery account amounts under the terms of the 2019 LPA for the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, the loss recovery account for Third Point Re BDA’s investment in TP Fund was $nil (December 31, 2019 - $nil) and for Third Point Re USA’s investment in TP Fund was $nil (December 31, 2019 - $0.5 million). These amounts have not been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The total management and performance fees to related parties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
Three months ended Nine months ended
September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Third Point Re, and, in certain circumstances specified in the indenture governing the Notes, certain existing or future subsidiaries of the Company may be required to guarantee the Notes. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had capitalized $0.8 million of costs associated with the Notes, which are presented as a direct deduction from the principal amount of the Notes on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020, the Notes had an estimated fair value of $116.7 million (December 31, 2019 - $121.7 million). The fair value measurements were based on observable inputs and therefore were considered to be Level 2.

In the event that such taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries would be exempted from any such taxes until March 2035 under the Tax Assurance Certificates issued to such entities pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, as amended.
The Company has an operating subsidiary incorporated in Bermuda, Third Point Re USA, which made an election to pay tax in the United States of America under Section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries would become subject to U.S. federal income tax only to the extent that they derive income from activity that is deemed to be the conduct of a trade or business within the United States. 
The Company also has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, TPRUK and Third Point Re UK, which are subject to applicable taxes in that jurisdiction.

15. Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in consolidated subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company.
Arcadian
In September 2020, the Company co-founded Arcadian, a managing general agent incorporated in Bermuda writing business on behalf of the Company. The Company’s ownership in Arcadian as of September 30, 2020 was 49%, representing 980,000 common shares at $1.00 par value. The Company has determined that Arcadian has the characteristics of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that are addressed by the guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). Arcadian is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Arcadian as it has power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Arcadian. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Arcadian in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s financial exposure to Arcadian is limited to its investment in Arcadian’s common shares and other financial support up to $18.0 million through an unsecured promissory note. As Arcadian had not commenced operations as of September 30, 2020, there is no counterparty credit risk arising from any insurance or reinsurance transactions as of such date.
The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of total noncontrolling interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Litigation
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the Company’s reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owed to it.  In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. The Company is not currently involved in any material formal or informal dispute resolution procedures.
Debt Commitment Letter
On August 6, 2020, Third Point Re, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sirius and Yoga Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirius (the “Merger”), with Sirius continuing as the surviving company in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is to be renamed SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint”) following the Merger.
In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), dated as of August 6, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan committed to provide a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Bridge Facility”) to finance the Merger. The Bridge Facility is subject to reduction at the Company’s option or with the proceeds of certain equity, debt or equity-linked securities issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, as more particularly set forth in the Term Sheet (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter). The obligation of JPMorgan to provide the Bridge Facility is subject to a number of customary conditions, including execution and delivery of certain definitive documentation. The Company will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Bridge Facility.
On September 25, 2020, the Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter. The Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter because, in light of the Company’s agreement with the Sirius Series B preference shareholders, funds committed by JPMorgan to be provided under the Bridge Facility are no longer anticipated to be necessary to consummate the Merger.
Equity Commitment Letter
On August 6, 2020, the Company, Third Point Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. and Daniel S. Loeb entered into an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which Third Point Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. committed, subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and the Merger Agreement, to purchase up to 9.5%, which approximates $50.0 million, of the Company’s Shares in connection with closing of the Merger.
Preference Shares
On September 4, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with the holders of Sirius Series B Preference Shares (the “Series B Preference Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Series B Preference Shares holders have agreed that upon closing of the Merger, they will convert their existing Series B Preference Shares of Sirius into up to $260.0 million face value of newly-issued Series B Preference Shares of SiriusPoint (the “New Preference Shares”). The New Preference Shares will be perpetual in nature, carry an 8.00% annual cumulative cash dividend, and will be callable by SiriusPoint on each fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger or upon certain other events. At the time of issuance upon the closing of the Merger, SiriusPoint will have the option to substitute up to $60.0 million in cash in lieu of an equal face amount of the New Preference Shares (or pay in cash the agreed New Preference Shares face amount of $260.0 million in full).

25



Promissory Note
On September 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Unsecured Promissory Note agreement (the “Notes”) with Arcadian, pursuant to which the Company has committed to loan up to $18.0 million. Interest shall accrue and be computed on the aggregate principal amount drawn and outstanding at a rate of 8.0% per annum. No amounts were drawn as of September 30, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The statements in this discussion regarding business outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and ”Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward looking statements.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our industry, business strategy, plans, goals and expectations concerning our market position, international expansion, future operations, margins, profitability, future efficiencies, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give you no assurance these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:

Overview
We are a holding company domiciled in Bermuda. Through our reinsurance subsidiaries, we provide specialty property and casualty reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies on a worldwide basis. Our goal is to deliver attractive equity returns to our shareholders by combining profitable reinsurance underwriting with a differentiated investment strategy. Substantially all of our investments are managed by Third Point LLC.
We manage our business on the basis of one operating segment, Property and Casualty Reinsurance. Non-underwriting income and expenses, presented as a reconciliation to our consolidated results, include: net investment income (loss), general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities, other expenses, interest expense, foreign exchange (gains) losses and income tax (expense) benefit.
Sirius Merger
On August 6, 2020, Third Point Re, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. (“Sirius”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and Yoga Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirius (the “Merger”), with Sirius continuing as the surviving company in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is to be renamed SiriusPoint Ltd. following the Merger.

The total deal consideration was estimated at the time of announcement as $788.0 million, which comprises stock, cash, and other contingent value components.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021. Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 7, 2020, for additional description of the Merger and related transactions.
Property and Casualty Reinsurance
We provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles. Contracts can be written on an excess of loss basis or quota share basis. In addition, we write contracts on both a prospective basis and a retroactive basis. Prospective reinsurance contracts cover losses incurred as a result of future insurable events. Retroactive reinsurance contracts cover the potential for changes in estimates of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to loss events that have occurred in the past. Retroactive reinsurance contracts can be an attractive type of contract for us as they can generate an underwriting profit should the ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses settle for less than the initial estimate of reserves and the premiums received at the inception of the contract generate insurance float.
Prior to 2019, we focused on lines of business and forms of reinsurance that have demonstrated more stable return characteristics and/or generated insurance float and limited our underwriting of property catastrophe and other event driven risks. Starting in 2019, we began to incrementally expand the lines of business and forms of reinsurance on which we focus where we believe the higher expected margins adequately compensate us for the increased risk and have not renewed contracts and de-emphasized certain lines of business that no longer fit our new underwriting strategy. We have continued to transition our underwriting strategy in 2020 and we expect that our property and casualty reinsurance segment will become a more meaningful contributor to our returns over time as we continue to

38



reorient our underwriting strategy towards generating consistent underwriting profits through prudent risk selection and focus less on lower volatility, float generating contracts and lines of business.
Insurance float is still an important aspect of our reinsurance operation. Insurance float arises because premiums from reinsurance contracts and consideration received for deposit accounted contracts are collected before losses are paid on reinsurance contracts and payments are made on deposit accounted contracts. In some instances, the interval between cash receipts and payments can extend over many years. During this time interval, we invest the cash received and seek to generate investment returns.
We believe that over time, our reinsurance operation will contribute to our results by both generating underwriting income as well as generating float.
Arcadian
We recently announced an investment in Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”), a start-up led by John Boylan, a well-known industry executive with a 30-year track record in the global insurance market. We made a significant capital commitment and will own a minority stake in the newly-formed company. In addition to capitalizing Arcadian, we will also provide insurance paper and meaningful net capacity. Arcadian has been established as a managing general agent and incorporated in Bermuda where Arcadian will initially operate. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020 with a Bermuda-only platform, with a plan to expand to multiple offices over time where it will underwrite various lines of insurance business, via established broker networks.
Investment Management
Our investment strategy is implemented by our investment manager, Third Point LLC. Third Point LLC serves as investment manager for TP Fund, as well as for our collateral assets and other fixed income investments.
The following is a summary of our total net investments managed by Third Point LLC as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
September 30,
2020
December 31, 2019
($ in thousands)
TP Fund $ 868,971  $ 860,630 
Collateral and other investment assets (1)
1,804,053  1,729,497 
Total net investments managed by Third Point LLC $ 2,673,024  $ 2,590,127 
(1)Collateral assets primarily consist of fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt. Other investment assets primarily consist of U.S Treasuries, structured and corporate credit fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and bank debt as well as interest rate hedges in the form of short positions on U.S. Treasuries.
The TP Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies. Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value oriented approach to single security analysis supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of the capital markets or in the pricing of particular securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures.
Collateral assets are generally required to be held in cash or cash equivalents, U.S. Treasuries or non-U.S. sovereign debt equivalent and other investment grade assets as determined by the respective reinsurance trusts or as per collateral required under secured letter of credit facilities.
Other investment assets had historically consisted solely of U.S. treasuries and cash equivalents from the time of our withdrawal of $750 million from the TP Fund in mid-2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company determined it would invest in a more opportunistic credit portfolio to take advantage of dislocations in the credit

39



market brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter, we invested approximately $220 million in corporate debt from liquid, high quality issuers as well as a portfolio of non-investment grade structured credit securities, primarily in residential mortgage-backed securities and consumer loans. In addition, we hedged a significant portion of the interest rate risk in this new corporate credit portfolio by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries.
In the final weeks of the first quarter and carrying into the second quarter, markets responded positively and retraced some of the spread widening during the first quarter, however, we anticipate continued volatility. We sold out of many of our positions in investment grade bonds initially purchased in the first quarter that recovered strongly in the second quarter of 2020.
In the third quarter of 2020, equity markets continued to rebound with technology-oriented stocks leading out-performance globally. Third Point LLC initiated new positions within several growth-oriented stocks that it believes will emerge even stronger in the post-COVID world. We also sold some profitable positions within energy credit while adding opportunistically to the bonds of certain airline companies.
Business Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have a significant effect on the (re)insurance industry. The industry is currently being impacted by a number of factors including: uncertainties with respect to current and future COVID-19 losses across many classes of insurance business and the amount of insurance losses that may ultimately be ceded to the reinsurance market, continued low interest rates, equity market volatility and ongoing business and financial market impacts of COVID-19 associated economic downturn. The insurance industry has already sustained material losses resulting from COVID-19, with potentially more to come, which will reduce available capital and we expect will help to sustain the upward pricing trend for reinsurers that we were seeing across many lines of business before the impacts of COVID-19. However, the ultimate impact on current business in force as well as risks and potential opportunities on future business remains highly uncertain.
Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations
We reacted quickly and decisively to the COVID-19 crisis when we became aware of the potential impact on our business operations. We have continued to monitor and adjust our operations as the global pandemic has unfolded. As local directives required us to transition our operations in each of our locations to remote working arrangements, all functions remain fully operational with all employees having remote access to the Company’s network and IT systems. Each employee is equipped with a laptop and related equipment at their home to ensure access to our network and efficiency. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis we had general remote, work-from-home capabilities and had previously tested those systems. We have experienced no material disruption in our business operations. Our offices have since started to reopen with some employees working from our offices and some employees continuing to work from home.
COVID-19 has not slowed our continued expansion of the lines of business and forms of reinsurance on which we focus. This expansion includes lines of business and forms of reinsurance with increased risk profiles, where we believe the higher expected margins adequately compensate us for the increased risk. As we expand our underwriting focus into higher expected margin property and specialty lines of reinsurance business as well as excess casualty and professional liability insurance, we expect to deliver attractive equity returns to our shareholders with a more balanced contribution to net income from underwriting and investments with lower volatility of our results.
Underwriting Outlook
The following is a summary of our underwriting outlook by each line of business:
Property
Since the beginning of 2019, the property catastrophe reinsurance market, and in particular the Florida windstorm, California wildfire, Japan windstorm and loss affected retrocession market have been experiencing increases in rate due to significant catastrophe losses in recent years, increases in loss estimates on prior year losses, and in some

40



cases reduced supply. This momentum continued during the first and second quarter 2020 renewals, where we have seen rate increases across most property catastrophe contracts. Property catastrophe reinsurance pricing in regions that have not been impacted by loss has remained broadly flat to slightly up. In addition, terms and conditions on property catastrophe contracts have improved in areas that are less quantifiable in terms of impact on pure exposure based rate change. 
As a result of changes in market conditions as well as having an established portfolio in place as we entered the 2020 property catastrophe renewals, we re-positioned our property catastrophe portfolio into more attractive sub-segments of the market. We reduced the amount of premium from retrocessional quota share contracts where we paid a ceding and profit commission and increased the amount of premium from direct reinsurance as well as retrocessional excess of loss contracts. We expect the re-positioning of the property catastrophe portfolio and improvements in pricing to result in improved expected profitability
Outside of property catastrophe reinsurance, we have also experienced some improvement in reinsurance terms and conditions and underlying pricing across other property business in our portfolio, with the previously observed trends continuing, as expected.
Casualty
We assume casualty exposure through multiple classes of business we write. Even before COVID-19, we were seeing evidence of increasing casualty loss trends across the market, which were beginning to impact both pricing and terms and conditions for select casualty classes of business. While the impact will vary by cedent and line of business, we expect COVID-19 will result in a continuation, and potentially an acceleration, of these improving pricing trends across many classes of casualty reinsurance.
While considering the impact of large-scale industry events, such as COVID-19, we incorporate the potential for elevated loss trends in our pricing analyses and endeavor to mitigate the potential impact of such increases in loss trends by structuring our contracts accordingly. 
We continue to closely monitor both the premium and loss impacts of COVID-19 on all lines of business we write. We expect some of our casualty business to experience premium volume reductions resulting from a combination of reduced employment levels, concentrations by industry and continued reductions in economic activity. We expect the impact on loss experience to vary materially by business segment, with some segments experiencing favorable impacts on loss experience and other segments experiencing a deterioration in results.
Specialty
We continue to expect to see a significant reduction in business from traditional credit risk exposed lines of business, such as trade credit, in the short term. The slowdown in the origination of new mortgage loans in the United States that we saw earlier in the year has reversed, at least in the short term, with existing and pending sales rebounding to above pre-COVID-19 levels and refinancings benefiting from lowered interest rates. We continue to see improved lending, mortgage insurance underwriting, and overall production quality across our portfolio.
In other specialty lines we write, many of which are specialty catastrophe focused, we expect to see significant insurance market impacts from COVID-19 and in some cases, losses to our portfolio. We expect to see new opportunities, as many of the lines we pursue will experience significant rate increases, improvement in other terms and conditions, and opportunities for new capacity resulting from a combination of increased demand and reductions in capacity from reinsurers more significantly impacted by losses from COVID-19.
Strategic Reinsurance Investments
Across many of our business lines, we focus on solutions driven opportunities, where we creatively structure products tailored to a client’s financial needs and objectives. In select situations, we create structures that result in long-term partnerships and optionality on what we believe to be high margin insurance or reinsurance premium with expense efficient operating models. We offer two value-added approaches to drive origination of these types of opportunities, one being solution- driven reinsurance structures that are creative, flexible and responsive to a client’s

41



desire to use reinsurance in their capital structure, in lieu of other capital alternatives, and the other being non reinsurance capital (equity/debt) solutions paired with reinsurance. We have closed a number of transactions, both reinsurance only and capital products combined with reinsurance, and have several pipeline opportunities. We believe our efficient operating model combined with skill sets in both the reinsurance and capital markets is a material differentiating factor in our successful origination and execution of these opportunities, which we expect will begin to represent a growing proportion of our premium volume in the future.
Arcadian
Arcadian will start by writing excess casualty and professional liability insurance business and will consider other business lines where strong underwriting relationships exist, which are expected to meet the Company's desired underwriting returns. The underwriting teams employed by Arcadian will have both long-term experience and distribution relationships in the lines of business being pursued.
The vast majority of business is expected to come from the United States, with the majority of distribution originating from large retail brokers. The profile of the portfolio Arcadian will build is expected to be with large corporate accounts, usually where there are professional risk managers on staff at the insured.
There can be no assurance that Arcadian will be able to successfully write the anticipated lines of business or fulfill its expansion plans and our inability to place quota share reinsurance on the portfolio could lead to lower than expected returns and increased expenses, which, in turn, would dilute the Company's earnings per share.
Investment Outlook
During 2019, we reduced our investment risk by reallocating some of our investments in TP Fund to fixed income investments that were initially invested in U.S. Treasuries. This realignment of our investment strategy with the changes to our underwriting strategy is expected to lower overall investment volatility and may reduce expected investment returns in the future as a result of this investment mix change.
For our collateral assets that are generally invested in cash and cash equivalents and U.S. Treasuries and foreign equivalents, the significant reduction in interest rates for these asset classes will reduce our expected net investment income from this portion of our investment portfolio.
During the first quarter of 2020, the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the globe resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets unseen since the 2008 financial crisis. During March 2020, credit markets experienced their biggest dislocation since 2008 as investment grade spreads widened significantly. As a result, we determined we would invest in a more opportunistic credit portfolio to take advantage of these dislocations in the credit market brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter, we invested approximately $220 million into corporate debt from liquid, high quality issuers as well as a portfolio of non-investment grade structured credit securities, primarily in residential mortgage-backed securities and consumer loans. In addition, we hedged a significant portion of the interest rate risk in this new corporate credit portfolio by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries.
In the final weeks of the first quarter and carrying into the second quarter, markets responded positively and retraced some of the spread widening during the first quarter, however, we anticipate continued volatility. We sold out of many of our positions in investment grade bonds initially purchased in the first quarter that recovered strongly in the second quarter of 2020.
In the third quarter of 2020, the equity market continued to rebound with technology-oriented stocks leading out-performance globally. Third Point LLC initiated new positions within several growth-oriented stocks that it believes will emerge even stronger in the post-COVID world. Third Point LLC remains focused on selectively adding to its portfolio of high-quality, long-term compounders when presented with opportune entry points amidst continued volatility. Within corporate credit, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the credit cycle with a large liquidity gap and fundamental concerns about the lasting impact of this recession and structural change in unemployment.

42



Over the coming quarters, Third Point LLC expects to focus on credit situations that are fundamentally deteriorating but have capital structure solutions, under-appreciated strengths, or improving trajectories where the market is looking backwards.
Key Performance Indicators
We believe that by combining a disciplined and opportunistic approach to reinsurance underwriting with investment results from the active management of our investment portfolio, we will be able to generate attractive returns for our shareholders. The key financial measures that we believe are most meaningful in analyzing our performance are: net underwriting income (loss) for our property and casualty reinsurance segment, combined ratio for our property and casualty reinsurance segment, net investment income (loss), net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, basic book value per share, diluted book value per share, growth in diluted book value per share, and return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders.

Key Investment Return Metrics
Net Investment Income (Loss)
Net investment income (loss) is an important measure that affects overall profitability. Net investment income (loss) is primarily affected by the performance of Third Point LLC as TP Fund’s investment manager and the amount of investable cash generated by our reinsurance operations. Net investment income (loss) also includes the investment income on collateral assets and certain other investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. Pursuant to the investment management agreement between TP Fund and Third Point LLC, Third Point LLC is required to manage

43



TP Fund’s investment portfolio on a basis that is substantially equivalent to Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P., but with increased exposures through the use of additional financial leverage and subject to certain conditions set forth in TP Fund’s investment guidelines. These conditions include a limitation on portfolio leverage, and a limitation on portfolio concentration in individual securities. The 2019 LPA allows us to withdraw cash from the TP Fund at any calendar month end or at the close of business each Wednesday during a month with not less than three days’ notice to pay claims, not less than five days’ notice to pay expenses and with not less than three days’ notice in order to satisfy the requirements of A.M. Best. Net investment income (loss) is net of investment expenses, which include performance and management fees to related parties.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC assigns every investment position a sector, strategy and geographic category. The dollar exposure of each position under each category is aggregated and the exposure percentages listed in the exposure table represent the aggregate market exposure of a given category against the total net asset value of the consolidated account. Long and short exposure percentages represent the aggregate relative value of all long and short positions in a given category, respectively. Net exposure represents the short exposure subtracted from the long exposure in a given category. Third Point LLC reports the composition of our total managed portfolio on a market exposure basis, which it believes is the appropriate manner in which to assess the exposure and profile of investments and is the way in which it manages the portfolio.

Non-U.S. dollar reinsurance assets, or balances held in trust accounts securing reinsurance liabilities generally offset reinsurance liabilities in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies resulting in minimal net exposure. As a result, the foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency reinsurance collateral held in trust accounts are offset by corresponding foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

Net investment return represents the return on our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on net investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our net investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. The net investment return reflects the combined results of our investments in TP Fund, collateral assets and certain other investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the investment portfolio generated positive results across each strategy with long equity investments driving the majority of gains for the quarter. Within equities, most sectors contributed to positive results on the long side while short equity investments and hedges partially offset overall gains for the equity strategy. The credit strategy contributed gains from both the corporate credit and structured credit portfolios. Investments in residential mortgage backed securities also produced profits. In the other strategy, gains were driven by private investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, gains were driven primarily by the credit portfolio. Investments in investment grade corporate credit and residential mortgage backed securities contributed strong performance. The equities strategy detracted from overall positive performance for the portfolio as losses from investments in industrials and consumer discretionary offset gains from technology investments. The other strategy contributed modestly to net gains for the year to date due to private investments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the investment portfolio was slightly negative overall. Within equities, strong performance from our core long equity activist positions was offset by losses from short equity positions and hedges. Within credit, modest gains in structured credit were more than offset by losses in the sovereign credit portfolio. Currency hedges also contributed modest losses for the quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gains were driven primarily by the long equity portfolio although the fund generated profits across all strategies. Within equities, core long equity activist positions were the main contributors to results and gains on the long book were partially countered by losses in hedges and short equity positions. In credit, losses from one sovereign credit investment more than offset profits in structured and corporate credit. In the other portfolio, gains were driven by private investments and several merger arbitrage positions.

The other key changes in our consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year periods were primarily due to the following:
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative expenses allocated to corporate expenses include allocations of payroll and related costs for certain employees for non-underwriting activities. We also allocate a portion of overhead and other related costs based on a headcount analysis.
The increase in corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and regulatory fees associated with the Merger, and higher stock compensation expense as a result of more restricted shares with performance and service conditions considered probable of vesting. The increase was partially offset by lower payroll related costs primarily due to lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals in the current year period.
The increase in corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and regulatory fees associated with the Merger. The increase was partially offset by lower payroll related costs in the current year period primarily due to lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals, and separation costs and certain financing costs incurred in the prior year period.
Our annual incentive plan is based on a formula derived from certain financial performance metrics. Our incentive plan accrual was lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to reflect the performance of the Company in the respective periods relative to the incentive plan compensation performance metrics.
Other Income (Expenses)
Other income (expenses) are comprised of income (expenses) relating to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts. The decrease in other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to revised estimates of underlying assumptions on our deposit liability contracts in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Interest Expense
In February 2015, TPRUSA issued $115.0 million of senior notes bearing 7.0% interest. As a result, our consolidated results of operations include interest expense related to the senior notes.
Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)
The foreign exchange losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves denominated in British pounds to the United States dollar, which weakened during the current year period.
The foreign exchange gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves denominated in British pounds to the United States dollar, which strengthened during the current year period.
For these contracts, non-U.S. dollar reinsurance assets, or balances held in trust accounts securing reinsurance liabilities generally offset reinsurance liabilities in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies resulting in minimal net exposure. As a result, the foreign exchange gains (losses) on loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in the current year periods were offset by corresponding foreign exchange gains (losses) included in net investment income (loss) resulting from the revaluation of foreign currency reinsurance collateral held in trust accounts. Refer to “ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” for further discussion on foreign currency risk related to our reinsurance contracts.

48



Income Taxes
The increase in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily the result of an increase in taxable income generated by our U.S. subsidiaries.
Segment Results — Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. For the periods presented, our business comprises one operating segment, Property and Casualty Reinsurance.

(1)Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.
Gross Premiums Written
The amount of gross premiums written and earned that we recognize can vary significantly from period to period due to several reasons, which include:
The majority of our gross written premium is derived from a small number of large contracts; therefore individual renewals or new business can have a significant impact on premiums recognized in a period;
We offer customized solutions to our clients, including reserve covers, on which we may not have a regular renewal opportunity;
We record gross premiums written and earned for reserve covers, which are considered retroactive reinsurance contracts, at the inception of the contract;
We write multi-year contracts that will not necessarily renew in a comparable period;
We may extend and/or amend contracts resulting in premium that will not necessarily renew in a comparable period;

49



Our reinsurance contracts often contain commutation and/or cancellation provisions;
Our quota share reinsurance contracts are subject to significant judgment in the amount of premiums that we expect to recognize and changes in premium estimates are recorded in the period they are determined; and
The impact of COVID-19 and resulting economic downturn on our clients may result in a reduction in the volume of premium that they write and cede to us.
As a result of these factors, we may experience volatility in the amount of gross premiums written and net premiums earned and period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.
The following table provides a breakdown of our Property and Casualty Reinsurance segment’s gross premiums written by line of business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The decrease in gross premiums written of $34.6 million, or 36.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 was driven by:
Factors resulting in decreases:
We recognized a net increase in premium of $32.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net increase of $70.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the net impact of contract extensions, cancellations and contracts renewed with no comparable premium in the prior period.
We recognized $13.1 million of premium in the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to contracts that we did not renew in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of underlying pricing, terms and conditions which no longer fit our underwriting criteria following our shift in underwriting strategy.
Factors resulting in increases:
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we wrote $12.0 million of new premium, of which $2.8 million was property business, $4.0 million was casualty business and $5.2 million was specialty business.
We recorded a net increase in premium estimates of $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net decrease of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in premium estimates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to several contracts for which clients provided updated projections indicating that they expected to write more business than initially estimated. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in premium estimates arising from the impact of COVID-19.
Changes in renewal premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in a net increase in premiums of $0.4 million. Premiums can change on renewals of contracts due to a number of factors, including: changes in our line size or participation, changes in the underlying premium volume and pricing trends of the client’s program as well as other contractual terms and conditions.

50



The decrease in gross premiums written of $75.1 million, or 15.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was driven by:
Factors resulting in decreases:
We recognized $170.2 million of premium in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to contracts that we did not renew in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including one multi-line contract for $103.2 million, which no longer fit our underwriting criteria following our shift in underwriting strategy.
We recognized a net increase in premium of $57.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net increase of $81.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the net impact of contract extensions, cancellations and contracts renewed with no comparable premium in the comparable period.
Changes in renewal premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in a net decrease in premiums of $6.0 million. Premiums can change on renewals of contracts due to a number of factors, including: changes in our line size or participation, changes in the underlying premium volume and pricing trends of the client’s program as well as other contractual terms and conditions.
Factors resulting in increases:
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we wrote $108.1 million of new premium, of which $53.8 million was property business, $38.0 million was casualty business and $16.3 million was specialty business.
We recorded net increases in premium estimates relating to prior periods of $35.8 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in premium estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to several contracts for which clients provided updated projections indicating that they expected to write more business than initially estimated. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in premium estimates arising from the impact of COVID-19.
Gross Premiums Ceded
The increase in gross premiums ceded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to one fronted reinsurance treaty and a small number of property catastrophe retro purchases for the purposes of portfolio management.
Net Premiums Earned
The decrease in net premiums earned in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to one large retroactive reinsurance contract that was written and earned in the prior year periods.
Net Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The reinsurance contracts we write have a wide range of initial loss ratio estimates. As a result, our net loss and loss expense ratio can vary significantly from period to period depending on the mix of business. The change in our net loss and loss adjustment expenses and related ratio was primarily affected by changes in the mix of business, including property catastrophe and specialty business written at a lower expected loss ratio, but was negatively impacted in the current year periods from higher catastrophe losses and the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $29.6 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, related to Hurricane Laura and other third quarter catastrophes. This resulted in an increase in the combined ratio of 20.9 and 6.9 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

51



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $12.7 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, related to Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Faxai. This resulted in an increase in the combined ratio of 6.2 and 2.5 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing unprecedented social disruption, global economic volatility, reduced liquidity of capital markets and intervention by various governments around the world. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized net losses of $15.6 million and $35.0 million, respectively, net of additional premiums, or 11.0 and 8.2 percentage points, respectively, on the combined ratio, relating to COVID-19. These losses were driven primarily by event cancellation, property business interruption, and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.
The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic will continue to create uncertainty around the ultimate scope of claims and potential for additional insurance losses. Our estimates are based on currently available information derived from information provided by cedents. These estimates include losses only related to our estimate of claims incurred as of September 30, 2020. It is also possible that changes in economic conditions and the various economic stimulus deployed by governments across the world in response to COVID-19 could lead to higher or lower inflation than we had anticipated, which could in turn lead to an increase or decrease in loss costs and the need to strengthen or reduce claims and claim adjustment expense reserves.
The following is a summary of the net impact from loss reserve development for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $20.3 million, or 14.3 percentage points on the combined ratio, of net favorable prior years’ reserve development as a result of decreases in loss reserve estimates, offset by net increases of $20.2 million, or 14.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, in acquisition costs, resulting in a $0.1 million, or 0.1 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement in the net underwriting results. The improvement in the net underwriting results was primarily due to the following factors:
$5.7 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$0.1 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $23.7 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $23.6 million; partially offset by
$4.4 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
$1.3 million of net adverse underwriting loss development from several other contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $76.5 million, or 37.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, of net favorable prior years’ reserve development as a result of decreases in loss reserve estimates, offset by net increases of $72.7 million, or 35.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, in acquisition costs, resulting in a $3.8 million or 1.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement in the net underwriting results. The improvement in the net underwriting results was primarily due to the following factors:
$2.5 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our auto contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience; and
$1.2 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $69.8 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $68.6 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $30.4 million, or 7.1 percentage points on the combined ratio, of net favorable prior years’ reserve development as a result of decreases in loss reserve estimates.

52



The $30.4 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was accompanied by net increases of $20.0 million, or 4.7% percentage points on the combined ratio, in acquisition costs and net decreases of $7.8 million in earned premium, or 1.8% percentage points on the combined ratio, resulting in a $2.6 million improvement in the net underwriting results, or 0.6% percentage points improvement on the combined ratio. The improvement in the net underwriting results was primarily due to the following factors:
$6.5 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$2.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development from several other contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience; partially offset by
$6.7 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
$0.1 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of worse than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $23.2 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $23.3 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $88.8 million, or 17.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, of net favorable prior years’ reserve development as a result of decreases in loss reserve estimates, offset by net increases of $84.5 million, or 16.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, in acquisition costs, resulting in a $4.3 million or 0.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement in the net underwriting results. The improvement in the net underwriting results was primarily due to the following factors:
$8.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$3.2 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our non-standard auto contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
$0.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $69.5 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $68.6 million; partially offset by
$6.4 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our multi-line contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
$2.2 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts, as a result of worse than expected loss experience.
Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs include commissions, brokerage and excise taxes. Acquisition costs are presented net of commissions on reinsurance ceded. The reinsurance contracts we write have a wide range of acquisition cost ratios. As a result, our acquisition cost ratio can vary significantly from period to period depending on the mix of business. Furthermore, a number of our contracts have a sliding scale commission or profit commission feature that will vary depending on the expected loss expense for the contract. As a result, changes in estimates of loss and loss adjustment expenses on a contract can result in changes in the sliding scale commissions or profit commissions and a contract’s overall acquisition cost ratio.
The decrease in acquisition costs, net, and the related acquisition cost ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower profit commission adjustments arising from favorable loss development on retroactive reinsurance contracts compared to the prior year periods.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $23.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of profit commission adjustments arising from favorable loss development on one retroactive

53



reinsurance contract, or 16.7 and 5.4 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $68.6 million of profit commission adjustments arising from favorable loss development on one retroactive reinsurance, or 33.8 and 13.7 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
The decrease in acquisition costs, net, and the related acquisition cost ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also impacted by a change in mix of business, including an increase in property catastrophe excess of loss contracts with lower acquisition costs and a decrease in earned premium volume and profit commission adjustments on other, primarily quota share, contracts.
See additional information in Net Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses section above.
General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in general and administrative expenses allocated to underwriting activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals, lower credit facility fees and lower travel expenses, partially offset by higher stock compensation expense as a result of more restricted shares with performance and service conditions considered probable of vesting. Our incentive plan accrual was lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to reflect the performance of the Company in the respective periods relative to the incentive plan compensation performance metrics.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics
We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise GAAP. Such measures, including basic book value per share, diluted book value per share, change in diluted book value per share and return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included below.
In addition, we refer to certain financial metrics such as net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, which is an important metric to measure the performance of TP Fund’s investment manager, Third Point LLC. A more detailed description of this financial metric is included below. We also refer to other generic performance metrics which are described and explained in this subsection.

54



Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Basic Book Value Per Share and Diluted Book Value Per Share
Basic book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable GAAP measures. Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Diluted book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include the unvested restricted shares for which we consider vesting to be probable. Change in basic book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in basic book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period book value per share. Change in diluted book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in diluted book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period diluted book value per share. We believe that long-term growth in diluted book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows our management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted book value per share as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Return on Beginning Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to Third Point Re Common Shareholders
Return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income available to Third Point Re common shareholders by the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders. We believe that return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is an important measure because it assists our management and investors in evaluating the Company’s profitability.

Other Financial Metrics
Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC
Net investment return represents the return on our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on net investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our net investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. The net investment return reflects the combined results of our investments in TP Fund, collateral assets and certain other investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.
Net Underwriting Income (Loss) for Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
One way that we evaluate the performance of our property and casualty reinsurance results is by measuring net underwriting income (loss). We do not measure performance based on the amount of gross premiums written. Net underwriting income or loss is calculated from net premiums earned, less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities. See additional information in Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Combined Ratio for Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net premiums earned. This ratio is a key indicator of a reinsurance company’s underwriting profitability. A combined ratio of greater than 100% means that loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities exceeded net premiums earned. See additional information in Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Requirements
Third Point Re is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses. Its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Third Point Re’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from those subsidiaries. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments.
We and our Bermuda subsidiaries are subject to Bermuda regulatory constraints that affect our ability to pay dividends. Third Point Re USA has also entered into a Net Worth Maintenance Agreement that further restricts the amount of capital and surplus it has available for the payment of dividends. For a further discussion of the various restrictions on our ability and our Bermuda subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, see Part I, Item 1 “Business - Regulation” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

56



In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from A.M. Best. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from Third Point Re BDA or Third Point Re USA to Third Point Re.
To date, COVID-19 has not impacted our ability to meet the liquidity requirements of our business and has also not affected our ability to meet regulatory or rating agency capital requirements or our ability to meet other contractual commitments.
Other Liquidity Requirements
Third Point Re fully and unconditionally guarantees the $115.0 million of debt obligations issued by TPRUSA, a wholly owned subsidiary. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information on our Senior Notes.
For additional commitments and contingencies that may affect our liquidity requirements see Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Sources of Liquidity
Our sources of funds have primarily consisted of premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments.
TP Fund’s investment portfolio is concentrated in tradeable securities and is marked to market each day. Pursuant to the investment guidelines as specified in the 2019 LPA, at least 60% of our portfolio must be invested in securities of publicly traded companies and governments of Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development high income countries, asset-backed securities, cash, cash equivalents and gold and other precious metals. We may withdraw all or a portion of our capital account balance from TP Fund at any calendar month end or at the close of business on each Wednesday during a month, with not less than three days’ notice to pay claims on our reinsurance contracts, and with not less than five days’ notice to pay for expenses, and on not less than three days’ notice in order to satisfy a requirement of A.M. Best. We believe the liquidity profile of the net investments underlying the TP Fund, the Company’s rights under the 2019 LPA to withdraw from the TP Fund and the operating cash on hand will provide us with sufficient liquidity to manage our operations.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total net investments managed by Third Point LLC consisted of:
September 30,
2020
December 31, 2019
($ in thousands)
TP Fund $ 868,971  $ 860,630 
Collateral and other investment assets (1)
1,804,053  1,729,497 
Total net investments managed by Third Point LLC $ 2,673,024  $ 2,590,127 
(1)Collateral assets primarily consist of fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt. Other investment assets primarily consist of U.S Treasuries, structured and corporate credit fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and bank debt as well as interest rate hedges in the form of short positions on U.S. Treasuries.
In addition, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all. There are regulatory and contractual restrictions and rating agency considerations that

57



might impact the ability of our reinsurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective parent companies, including for purposes of servicing TPRUSA’s debt obligations.
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our consolidated results of operations to date. The effects of inflation are considered implicitly in pricing our reinsurance contracts. Loss reserves are established to recognize likely loss settlements at the date payment is made. Those reserves inherently recognize the effects of inflation. However, the actual effects of inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately resolved.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (l) premiums collected and investment earnings realized and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income (loss) and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected.
Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
2020 2019
($ in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 45,281  $ 96,697 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities (68,050) 690,847 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (15,713) 8,743 
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (38,482) 796,287 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period 1,653,958  713,337 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 1,615,476  $ 1,509,624 
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities generally represent net premiums collected less loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses paid.
The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to lower net reinsurance receipts.
Excess cash generated from our operating activities is typically then invested by Third Point LLC into either the TP Fund or other fixed income investments. The amount of net reinsurance receipts can vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing, type and size of reinsurance contracts we bind.
Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities primarily reflects investment activities related to our investment in TP Fund, fixed income investments and collateral assets.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily relates to investment activity from the opportunistic credit portfolio. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily relates to net redemptions of $673.0 million from TP Fund.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily consisted of $16.4 million from payments on deposit liability contracts. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of $6.9 million from receipts on deposit liability contracts.

58



For the period from inception until September 30, 2020, we have had sufficient cash flow from the proceeds of our initial capitalization and IPO, the issuance of Notes in February 2015, and from our operations to meet our liquidity requirements. We expect that projected operating and capital expenditure requirements and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months will be met by our balance of cash, cash flows generated from operating activities and investment income. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future if we determine that it would be an efficient part of our capital structure.
Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less.
See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments increased by $71.3 million, or 6.2%, to $1,228.5 million as of September 30, 2020 from $1,157.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of reinsurance contracts that required collateral.
We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.
Letter of Credit Facilities
See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our letter of credit facilities.
As of September 30, 2020, $275.2 million (December 31, 2019 - $251.8 million) of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, in any of the letter of credit facilities, we could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned facilities as of September 30, 2020.
Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements
Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, total cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of $275.2 million (December 31, 2019 - $254.2 million) was pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.
We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.
Revolving Credit Facility
On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to

59



customary conditions precedent, upon the consummation of the merger (the date such loans and letters of credit are first made available, the “Closing Date”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Facility is guaranteed solely by Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. On and after the Closing Date, the Facility will be required to be guaranteed by Sirius International Group, Ltd., Sirius International Holdings Ltd., Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., and subject to customary exceptions certain other material subsidiaries of the Company.
All borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case with the applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s credit rating. The Facility is subject to an unused line fee on or after the Closing Date on the average daily undrawn commitments under the Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum based upon the Company’s credit rating.
The Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (including a change of control provision) that the Company considers customary for similar facilities. The Facility also includes financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test, a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated capitalization ratio and a financial strength rating test.
Financial Condition
The COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant impact on the reinsurance industry and although it is too early to determine the ultimate impact it will have on us, we continue to maintain a strong capital position. We will continue to prudently assess the reinsurance and investment opportunities presented to us, and believe that we are well positioned to continue to deploy our capital efficiently.
Shareholders’ equity
As of September 30, 2020, total shareholders’ equity was $1,428.6 million, compared to $1,414.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to net income available to Third Point Re common shareholders of $9.1 million.
Investments
As of September 30, 2020, total cash and net investments managed by Third Point LLC was $2,673.0 million, compared to $2,590.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase was due to net investment income on investments managed by Third Point LLC of $73.6 million and net contributions of $9.3 million.
Contractual Obligations
Other than described herein, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.
Definitive Agreement with Sirius
On August 6, 2020, Third Point Re, entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, Sirius and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirius, with Sirius continuing as the surviving company in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Refer to “Overview - Sirius Merger” for further discussion on the Merger. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2021.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company has entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), dated as of August 6, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan has committed to provide a bridge facility up to $125.0 million to finance the Merger.
On September 25, 2020, the Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter. The Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter because, in light of the Company’s agreement with the Sirius Series B preference shareholders,

60



funds committed by JPMorgan to be provided under the Bridge Facility are no longer anticipated to be necessary to consummate the Merger.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies, please refer to Note 2, “Significant accounting policies”, included in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition including evaluation of risk transfer, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and (3) fair value measurements related to our investments. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Fair value measurements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company began investing in structured credit and corporate credit securities such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and bank debt.
The inputs used to measure the fair value of these securities may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements. In addition to the framework discussed in Note 5, we perform several processes to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation of all of our investments comprising our investment portfolio. These processes include (i) obtaining and reviewing weekly and monthly investment portfolio reports from Third Point LLC, (ii) obtaining and reviewing monthly NAV and investment return reports received directly from the Company’s third-party fund administrator, which are compared to the reports noted in (i), and (iii) monthly update discussions with Third Point LLC regarding the investment portfolio, including, their process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from third party service providers.
There have been no other material changes in our critical accounting estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Refer to Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2019 Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We face various risks related to pandemics and other catastrophic events, including the recent global outbreak of the novel COVID-19. In recent months, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruptions to commerce, reduced economic activity and increased volatility in the global capital markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting macroeconomic conditions has caused the financial markets to decline sharply and to become volatile, and such effects may continue or worsen in the future, amplifying the negative impact on global growth and global financial markets.
We believe we are principally exposed to the following types of market risk:
equity price risk;

61



foreign currency risk;
interest rate risk;
commodity price risk;
credit risk;
liquidity risk; and
political risk.
Equity Price Risk
The investment manager of TP Fund, Third Point LLC, tracks the performance and exposures of the TP Fund, each strategy and sector, and selective individual securities. A particular focus is placed on “beta” exposure, which is the portion of the portfolio that is directly correlated to risks and movements of the equity market as a whole (usually represented by the S&P 500 index) as opposed to idiosyncratic risks and factors associated with a specific position. Further, the performance of our investment portfolio has historically been compared to several market indices, including the S&P 500, MSCI World, CS/Tremont Event Driven Index, HFRI Event Driven Index, and others.

Through our investment in TP Fund, and specifically, the valuations of the equity securities it holds, we may be adversely impacted by the market volatility and uncertainties resulting from the development of COVID-19.
As of September 30, 2020, net investments managed by Third Point LLC, including investments underlying the TP Fund, included long and short equity securities, along with certain equity-based derivative instruments, the carrying values of which are primarily based on quoted market prices. Generally, market prices of common equity securities are subject to fluctuation, which could cause the amount to be realized upon the closing of the position to differ significantly from their current reported value. This risk is partly mitigated by the presence of both long and short equity securities in TP Fund’s investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2020, a 10% decline in the value of all equity and equity-linked derivatives would result in a loss to the Company of $93.8 million, or 3.5% (December 31, 2019 - $49.7 million, or 2.0%) of total net investments managed by Third Point LLC.
Computations of the prospective effects of hypothetical equity price changes are based on numerous assumptions, including the maintenance of the existing level and composition of investment securities and should not be relied on as indicative of future results.
Foreign Currency Risk
Reinsurance Contracts
We have foreign currency exposure related to non-U.S. dollar denominated reinsurance contracts. Of our gross premiums written from inception, $634.9 million, or 13.3%, were written in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2020, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves included $154.7 million (December 31, 2019 - $171.5 million) and net reinsurance balances receivable included $0.5 million (December 31, 2019 - $10.9 million) in foreign currencies. These foreign currency liability exposures were generally offset by foreign currencies held in trust accounts of $168.8 million as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $170.2 million).  The foreign currency cash and cash equivalents and investments held in reinsurance trust accounts are included in net investments managed by Third Point LLC. The exposure to foreign currency collateral held in trust accounts is excluded from the foreign currency investment exposure table below.
Investments
Third Point LLC continually measures foreign currency exposures in the TP Fund and compares current exposures to historical movement within the relevant currencies. Within the ordinary course of business, Third Point LLC may decide to hedge foreign currency risk within TP Fund investment portfolio by using short-term forward contracts; however, from time to time Third Point LLC may determine not to hedge based on its views of the likely movements of the underlying currency.
We are exposed within the TP Fund to foreign currency risk through cash, forwards, options and investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the potential for adverse

62



changes in the U.S. dollar value of investments (long and short) and foreign currency derivative instruments, which we employ from both a speculative and risk management perspective, due to a change in the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which cash and financial instruments are denominated. As of September 30, 2020, through our investment in TP Fund, the Company had total net long exposure to foreign denominated securities representing 1.7% (December 31, 2019 - 3.2%) of the Company’s investment in the TP Fund, including cash and cash equivalents of $45.4 million (December 31, 2019 - $87.1 million).
The following table summarizes the net impact that a 10% increase and decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against select foreign currencies would have had on the value of the TP Fund as of September 30, 2020:
10% increase in U.S. dollar 10% decrease in U.S. dollar
Change in fair value Change in fair value as % of investment portfolio Change in fair value Change in fair value as % of investment portfolio

Taiwan Dollar (1,131) —  % 1,131  —  %
Other (115) —  % 115  —  %
Total $ (4,536) (0.1) % $ 4,536  0.1  %
Interest Rate Risk
Our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, including investments underlying the TP Fund, collateral assets and other fixed income investments, include interest rate sensitive securities, such as corporate bonds, U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt instruments, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), and interest rate options and derivatives. One key market risk exposure for any debt instrument is interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the fair value of our long fixed-income portfolio falls, and the opposite is also true as interest rates fall. Additionally, some of our sovereign debt instruments, ABS and derivative investments may also be credit sensitive and their value may indirectly fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Third Point LLC monitors the potential effects of interest rate shifts by performing stress tests against the portfolio composition using both third-party and in-house risk systems.

In response to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve reduced the Federal Funds Rate to zero percent in March 2020. The outlook for the remainder of 2020 is uncertain, and there is a possibility that the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low or even uses negative interest rates if economic conditions warrant. Changes in interest rates or a continued slowdown in the U.S. or in global economic conditions may adversely affect the values and cash flows of these assets.

The following table summarizes the impact that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have on the value of our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, including investments underlying the TP Fund, collateral assets and other fixed income investments, as of September 30, 2020:
100 basis point increase in interest rates 100 basis point decrease in interest rates

(1)Includes interest rate risk associated with investments held as collateral in reinsurance trust accounts and other instruments underlying the TP Fund.
(2)Includes instruments for which durations are available on September 30, 2020. Includes a convexity adjustment if convexity is available.
For the purposes of the above table, the hypothetical impact of changes in interest rates on debt instruments, ABS, and interest rate options was determined based on the interest rates and credit spreads applicable to each instrument individually. We and Third Point LLC periodically monitor TP Fund’s, and our collateral assets and other short-term investments net exposure to interest rate risk and generally do not expect changes in interest rates to have a materially adverse impact on our operations.
Commodity Price Risk
In managing the TP Fund, Third Point LLC periodically monitors and actively trades to take advantage of, and/or seeks to minimize any losses from, fluctuations in commodity prices. As TP Fund’s investment manager, Third Point LLC may choose to opportunistically make a long or short investment in a commodity or in a security directly affected by the price of a commodity as a response to market developments. From time to time, we expect TP Fund will invest in commodities or commodities exposures in the form of derivative contracts from both a speculative and risk management perspective. Generally, market prices of commodities are subject to fluctuation.
As of September 30, 2020, the TP Fund had de minimis (December 31, 2019 - de minimis) commodity exposure.
We and Third Point LLC periodically monitor the TP Fund’s exposure to commodity price fluctuations and generally do not expect changes in commodity prices to have a material adverse impact on our operations.
Credit Risk
Reinsurance Contracts
We have exposure to credit risk through reinsurance contracts with companies that write credit risk insurance. Our portfolio of risk is predominantly U.S. mortgage insurance and mortgage credit risk transfer. We provide our clients in these lines of business with reinsurance protection against credit deterioration, defaults or other types of financial non-performance. Loss experience in these lines of business has been very good but is cyclical and is affected by the state of the general economic environment. We seek to proactively manage the risks associated with these credit-sensitive lines of business by closely monitoring its risk aggregation and by diversifying the underlying risks where possible. We have bought some retrocessional coverage against a subset of these risks. We have written $476.2 million, or 10.0%, of credit and financial lines premium since inception, of which $60.3 million was written in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The majority of the mortgage insurance premium has been written as quota shares of private mortgage insurers, primarily in the United States.

Our portfolio of credit risk reinsurance is susceptible to the potential effects of COVID-19. These effects are unlikely to be the direct consequence of the pandemic itself but will more likely be a result of the economic impact of the pandemic and the steps that governments and others around the world have taken in an attempt to control its spread and the corresponding loss of life and health. With that in mind, the ultimate result for our book of business will be determined by the length and depth of the ensuing recession and heightened levels of unemployment.
We have exposure to credit risk as it relates to its business written through brokers, if any of our brokers are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations with respect to payments to us. In addition, in some jurisdictions, if the broker fails to make payments to the insured under our policy, we may remain liable to the insured for the deficiency. Our exposure to such credit risk is somewhat mitigated in certain jurisdictions by contractual terms.
We are exposed to credit risk relating to balances receivable under our reinsurance contracts, including premiums receivable, and the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations to us. The risk of counterparty default is partially mitigated by the fact that any amount owed to us from a reinsurance counterparty would be netted against any losses we would pay in the future. We monitor the collectability of these balances on a regular basis.
To date, the events surrounding COVID-19 have not caused us to have heightened concern about our ability to collect on payments due from our brokers or under our reinsurance contracts.
Investments
We are also exposed to credit risk through our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, including investments underlying the TP Fund and other fixed income investments. Third Point LLC typically performs intensive fundamental analysis on the broader markets, credit spreads, security-specific information, and the underlying issuers of debt securities that are contained in TP Fund’s investment portfolio and the Company’s other fixed income investments.
In addition, the securities and cash in the TP Fund are held with several prime brokers, subjecting us to the related credit risk from the possibility that one or more of them may default on their obligations to us. Third Point LLC closely and regularly monitors the concentration of credit risk with each broker and if necessary, transfers cash or securities among brokers to diversify and mitigate TP Fund’s credit risk.

Our investment portfolio, and specifically, the valuations of investment assets it holds, may be adversely affected as a result of market developments from COVID-19 and uncertainty regarding its outcome.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, through our investment in TP Fund and other fixed income investments, the Company was exposed to non-investment grade securities. Non-investment grade securities consist of securities having a rating lower than BBB- as determined by Standard & Poor's or Fitch Ratings, Baa3 by Moody's Investor Services and securities not rated by any rating agency, and were as follows:

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, through our investment in TP Fund and other fixed income investments, ABS holdings were private-label issued, non-investment grade securities, and none of these securities were guaranteed by a government sponsored entity. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the largest concentration of our ABS holdings were as follows:
September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
($ in thousands)
Reperforming loans $ 138,617  66.1  % $ 101,587  75.9  %
Consumer 23,519  11.2  % —  —  %
Subprime and non-qualified residential mortgage-backed securities 25,786  12.3  % —  —  %
Market place loans 16,130  7.7  % 22,979  17.2  %

$ 209,648  100.0  % $ 133,807  100.0  %
(1)     Other includes: collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and aircraft ABS.
The TP Fund may also be exposed to non-investment grade securities held within certain investments in limited partnerships and derivatives. As a result of its investment in this type of ABS and certain other non-investment grade securities, our investment portfolio is exposed to credit risk of underlying borrowers, which may not be able to make timely payments on loans or which may default on their loans.  All of these classes of ABS and certain other non-investment grade securities are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the rate at which borrowers sell their properties (in the case of mortgage-backed securities), refinance or otherwise pre-pay loans.  As an investor in these classes of ABS and certain other non-investment grade securities, the TP Fund may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans.  In addition, the TP Fund may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.
Liquidity Risk
Certain of the investments underlying the TP Fund and the Company’s fixed income investments may become illiquid. Disruptions in the credit markets may materially affect the liquidity of certain investments, including ABS, which represent 13.7% (December 31, 2019 - 12.0%) of total net investments managed by Third Point LLC as of September 30, 2020. If we require significant amounts of cash on short notice in excess of normal cash requirements, which could include the payment of claims expenses or to satisfy a requirement of A.M. Best, in a period of market illiquidity, certain investments underlying the TP Fund may be difficult to sell in a timely manner and may have to be disposed of for less than what may otherwise have been possible under normal conditions. As of September 30, 2020, through our investment in the TP Fund and fixed income investments, we had $1,124.4 million (December 31, 2019 - $1,022.9 million) of unrestricted, liquid investment assets, defined as unrestricted cash and investments and securities with quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges.
Political Risk
Investments
We are exposed to political risk to the extent TP Fund’s investment manager trades securities that are listed on various U.S. and foreign exchanges and markets. The governments in any of these jurisdictions could impose restrictions, regulations or other measures, which may have a material impact on our investment strategy and underwriting operations.
In managing the TP Fund, Third Point LLC routinely monitors and assesses relative levels of risk associated with local political and market conditions and focuses its investments primarily in countries in which it believes the rule of law is respected and followed, thereby affording more predictable outcomes of investments in that country.

66



Reinsurance Contracts
We also have limited political violence exposure in several reinsurance contracts with companies that write political risk insurance and reinsurance. Extended lockdowns in many locations around the world and the potential for severe economic hardship may present increased risk of losses to this book of business arising from strikes, riots or civil commotion.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the reinsurance industry, we will be subject to litigation and arbitration from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
If we are subject to disputes in the ordinary course of our business, we anticipate engaging in discussions with the parties to the applicable contract to seek to resolve the matter. If such discussions are unsuccessful, we anticipate invoking the dispute resolution provisions of the relevant contract, which typically provide for the parties to submit to arbitration or litigation, as applicable, to resolve the dispute.
We received a complaint from a shareholder related to the Merger. The Company is reviewing the complaint and intends to defend itself vigorously.
There are currently no material legal proceedings to which we or our subsidiaries are a party.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors     
The following should be read in conjunction with, and supplements and amends the factors that may affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”). Other than described herein, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2019 10-K. This report also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below.

67



The proposed Merger with Sirius may not be completed on a timely basis, on anticipated terms, or at all, and there are uncertainties and risks to consummating the Merger.
As previously described, on August 6, 2020, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Sirius and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Company agreed to merge with Sirius. Our obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver, to the extent permitted under applicable law, of a number of conditions including regulatory approval and the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Sirius under the Merger Agreement.
Satisfying the required conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Merger could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the Merger is successfully completed within its expected timeframe. Further, there can be no assurance that we will obtain regulatory approval or that the other conditions to the closing of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be completed.
Even if the Merger were completed, the successful integration of Sirius’s business and operations into those of our own and our ability to realize the expected synergies and benefits of the transaction are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:
Our ability to complete the timely integration of organizations, operations, procedures, policies and technologies, as well as the harmonization of differences in the business cultures of the two companies and retention of key personnel;
Our ability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the process of integrating the two companies;
Our inability to establish and maintain integrated risk management systems, underwriting methodologies and controls, which could give rise to excess accumulation or aggregation of risks, underreporting or underrepresentation of exposures or other adverse consequences;
Our inability to create and enforce uniform financial, compliance and operating controls, procedures, policies and information systems; and
Our ability to preserve customer and other important relationships of both Third Point Re and Sirius and resolve potential conflicts that may arise;
Our exposure to underwriting risk on Sirius’s business written during the period prior to closing;
Potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Merger; and
The need for additional capital prior to or following consummation of the Merger.
In addition, the Merger may not be accretive to earnings and could cause dilution to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the price of our common stock following consummation of the Merger.
If we are unable to complete the proposed Merger, we will have incurred substantial expenses and diverted significant management time and resources from our ongoing business. Even if we consummate the proposed Merger, we will still have incurred substantial expenses but may not realize the anticipated cost synergies and other benefits of the Merger. Given the size and significance of the Merger, we could encounter difficulties in the integration of the operations of the business, which could adversely affect our combined business and financial performance. Any failure to realize the full benefits and synergies of the Merger could adversely impact our business, results of operation and financial condition.
We currently expect to incur debt or equity financing to finance the Merger, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows and results of operations.
We expect to incur debt or equity financing in connection with our Merger with Sirius. If we were to incur additional indebtedness or preferred equity, our interest or dividend payment obligations would increase. The degree to which we are leveraged could have adverse effects on our business, including the following:
Making it difficult for us to satisfy our contractual and commercial commitments;

68



Requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness or preferred equity, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund capital requirements and other general corporate purposes;
Limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry;
Restricting us from making additional strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;
Placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
Limiting our ability to refinance indebtedness, or increasing the associated costs;
Limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and
Decreasing our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic and industry conditions.
If we incur additional indebtedness or preferred equity in the future, these risks will intensify. Our ability to meet our debt service or dividend obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we were to issue additional common equity, existing shareholders would be diluted to the extent of any such offering.
A pandemic or other catastrophic event, such as the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations and other aspects of our business.
We face various risks related to pandemics and other catastrophic events, including the recent global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In recent months, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruptions to commerce, reduced economic activity and increased volatility in the global capital markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting macroeconomic conditions has caused the financial markets to become volatile, and such effects may continue or worsen in the future, amplifying the negative impact on global growth and global financial markets. These conditions could materially and adversely affect our cash flows, as well as the value and liquidity of its invested assets, which could affect our creditworthiness.
Our investment portfolio (and specifically, the valuations of investment assets it holds) may be adversely affected as a result of market developments from COVID-19 and uncertainty regarding its outcome.  Moreover, changes in interest rates, adverse credit ratings migration and increased credit defaults, increased equity volatility, reduced liquidity or a continued slowdown in the U.S. or in global economic conditions may also adversely affect the values and cash flows of these assets.  Specifically, lower underlying interest rates may adversely affect the portfolio’s ability to invest at levels sufficient to meet liability cash flows, which in turn could affect our creditworthiness. Negative market conditions may result in a reduction in the volume of premium that our clients write and cede to us, which could lead to a negative effect on our results of operations. Further, extreme market volatility may leave us unable to react to market events in a prudent manner consistent with our historical investment practices in dealing with more orderly markets.
Our companies that are treated as foreign corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes have historically intended to operate in a manner that will not cause them to be subject to current U.S. federal income taxation on their net income. Travel restrictions arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, limit the ability of certain directors and other personnel to be present outside the U.S.  While we have implemented contingency plans to mitigate the impact of such travel restrictions, no assurances can be provided that we will not become subject to greater tax liabilities than anticipated as a result of such restrictions.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19. In addition, we may experience operational disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of its employees being unable to work due to illness, travel restrictions, quarantines, government actions or other measures taken in response to COVID-19. These disruptions could have a negative impact on our business and operations. Despite having taken significant steps to avoid disruption and maintain security, an extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

69



There continue to be significant uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and private businesses to attempt to contain the outbreak or to mitigate its impact. We could have unexpected consequences from changes in regulation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the short time window in which we may have to implement them. We continue to monitor the situation and to assess further possible implications to its business and customers. We cannot predict how legal and regulatory responses to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues will impact our business. Such events or conditions could result in additional regulation or restrictions affecting the conduct of our business in the future.

ITEM 5. Other Information
Revolving Credit Facility
On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent, upon the consummation of the merger (the date such loans and letters of credit are first made available, the “Closing Date”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Facility is guaranteed solely by Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. On and after the Closing Date, the Facility will be required to be guaranteed by Sirius International Group, Ltd., Sirius International Holdings Ltd., Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., and subject to customary exceptions certain other material subsidiaries of the Company.
All borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case with the applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s credit rating. The Facility is subject to an unused line fee on or after the Closing Date on the average daily undrawn commitments under the Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum based upon the Company’s credit rating.

70



The Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (including a change of control provision) that the Company considers customary for similar facilities. The Facility also includes financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test, a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated capitalization ratio and a financial strength rating test.
The foregoing description of the Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Facility, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.14, and is incorporated by reference herein.

CONFIDENTIAL

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

3.Compensation and Benefits.
(a)Base Salary. During the Employment Term, in consideration of the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations hereunder (including any services as an officer, director, employee, or member of any committee of any subsidiary of SP, or otherwise on behalf of SP), the Executive shall receive from SP a base salary at an annual rate of $1,000,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of SP then in effect. Any salary increases shall be determined by the Board from time to time in its discretion as part of its normal compensation review of executive officers. Without the prior express written consent of the Executive, the Base Salary shall not be decreased during the Employment Term.
(b)Annual Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, in respect of each calendar year during which the Employment Term is in effect, a performance-based cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) with a target annual incentive opportunity equal to 75% of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Percentage”). The Annual Bonus earned, if any, will be based on achievement of such individual and corporate performance goals as may be established with respect to each calendar year by the SP Board, and subject to (x) the Executive’s continuous employment with SP through the last day of the calendar year for which the Annual Bonus is earned, and (y) such other terms and conditions established by the SP Board pursuant to its annual bonus programs as adopted from time to time. The Target Percentage will be reviewed on an annual basis and may be increased (but not decreased) by the SP Board from time to time. Any Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash in a lump sum after the end of the calendar year for which the Annual Bonus is earned and no later than March 15th following such calendar year.

Immediately following the public announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Executive shall be granted a number of restricted common shares of the Company, trading under the ticker symbol “TPRE” on the New York Stock Exchange, having a grant date fair market value equal to $3,000,000 (the “Announcement Restricted Share Award”). The Announcement Restricted Share Award shall vest in five equal installments on each anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the Executive’s continued employment (other than as set forth below); provided that if the Merger Agreement is terminated without the Closing having occurred, a portion of the Announcement Restricted Shares Award shall vest as of the date the Merger Agreement is terminated (the “Merger Agreement Termination Date”) in an amount equal to the number of restricted shares that would have become vested through the Merger Agreement Termination Date had the five-year vesting period instead commenced as of the Effective Date, and the remainder of the unvested Announcement Restricted Share Awards shall vest in equal annual installments on each anniversary of the Effective Date subject to the Executive’s continued service as a director on the Board; provided, further, that if the Executive dies on or prior to the Closing Date or is removed from the Board or is not re-nominated for election to the Board for any reason, then 100% of the unvested Announcement Restricted Share Awards shall vest immediately upon any such removal or failure to nominate; provided, further, that 100% of the unvested Announcement Restricted Share Award shall vest immediately upon a Change in Control Termination. In the event of a termination without Cause, by the Executive for Good Reason or by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability (each, a “Good Leaver Termination”), in each case after the Closing Date, the portion of the Announcement Restricted Share Award that would have become vested in the two-year period following the Termination Date (as defined below) had the Executive’s employment continued through such date, if any, shall vest in full as of the Termination Date, and any remaining unvested Announcement Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited.

To the extent that the Executive’s private air travel during the COVID-19 pandemic pursuant to this Section 3(f)(i) results in the Executive incurring income tax with respect to such use, SP and the Executive shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to mitigate such tax liability, which may include SP’s reimbursement of the Executive for such income taxes incurred by him. Any such reimbursement payments shall be made no later than twelve (12) months following the end of the fiscal year in which the related expense is incurred.

During such 30 or 60 day period, as applicable, the Executive may be placed on garden leave and directed not to report to the Company’s offices or perform duties except as directed by the SP Board, and such actions, standing alone, shall not give rise to a Good Leaver Termination. The Executive hereby recuses himself from any SP Board actions relating to acts or failures to act that may constitute Cause, including any investigation thereof.
(iii)“Good Reason” shall mean: (A) the assignment to the Executive of duties that are significantly different from, or that result in a substantial diminution of, the duties and authority set forth in this Agreement or any requirement that Executive report directly to any person other than the SP Board; (B) a reduction in the rate of the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Percentage; (C) a material breach by the Company or SP of this Agreement, any equity award agreement or any other agreement with the Company or SP; (D) the Executive is no longer the sole Chairman of the SP Board or is not appointed to, or is removed from, the Board or the SP Board; or (E) the Company fails to pay the Executive’s compensation or provide for the Executive’s equity awards or benefits when due; provided that the Executive shall have given the Company or SP (as applicable) written notice specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to constitute Good Reason within 90 days following the occurrence, without the Executive’s consent, of any of the events in clauses (A)-(E), and the Company or SP (as applicable) shall not have cured the circumstances set forth in the Executive’s notice of termination within 30 days of receipt of such notice.
(c)Cooperation. In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (other than death), the Executive agrees to cooperate with SP and to be reasonably available to SP for a reasonable period of time thereafter with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s employment hereunder or any other relationship with SP, whether such matters are
7

Any such cooperation shall be (i) at reasonable times and locations, (ii) upon reasonable notice, (iii) conducted telephonically, whenever possible, and in person only when necessary, and (iv) take into account any responsibilities to which the Executive is subject to a subsequent employer or otherwise.
(d)Resignation from All Positions. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from any boards of, or other positions with, the Company and SP (except that such deemed resignation shall not be construed to reduce the Executive’s economic entitlements under this Agreement arising by reason of such termination).

(a)Termination for Any Reason. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive: (i) any accrued and unpaid Base Salary as of the Termination Date; (ii) all accrued and unpaid benefits and awards under any benefit or equity plans, policies, programs, or arrangements in which the Executive participated or received awards under as of the Termination Date in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of such plans, policies, programs, or arrangements; and (iii) an amount equal to such reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment on behalf of SP on or prior to the Termination Date but not previously paid to the Executive (the “Accrued Compensation”).

Any Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid in cash in a lump sum after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs and no later than March 15th following such calendar year.
(c)Termination without Cause or for Good Reason; Nonrenewal by the Company.

8


the first such installment commencing on the 30th day following the Termination Date; and (iv) continued medical and life insurance benefits for 24 months following the Termination Date at the same premium rate that active employees pay for such coverage, with the life insurance premium contributions payable as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6(c). The severance pay contemplated by clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid as follows: (A) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the severance pay shall be paid in twelve (12) monthly installments over the twelve (12) months following the Termination Date (and subject to Section 6(d), the first of such installments shall be paid on the 30th day following the Termination Date); and (B) an amount equal to the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the severance pay shall be paid in the Company’s taxable year following the Company’s taxable year in which the Termination Date occurs in monthly installments over the number of months in the Company’s taxable year between the first anniversary of the Termination Date and December 31st of such latter taxable year. The life insurance premium contributions contemplated by clause (iv) of this Section 6(c) shall be paid as follows: (I) any premium contributions required to be made during the twelve (12) months following the Termination Date shall be paid upon such required contribution payment dates; and (II) an amount equal to the sum of the remaining life insurance premium contributions not paid pursuant to clause (I) shall be paid in the Company’s taxable year following the Company’s taxable year in which the Termination Date occurs in monthly installments (but to the extent possible on the regularly scheduled contribution payment dates) over the number of months in the Company’s taxable year between the first anniversary of the Termination Date and December 31st of such latter taxable year. The Company represents that its taxable year and its fiscal year are both the calendar year.

In addition, if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv), 5(a)(v) or 5(a)(vii) hereof, (x) the provisions of the applicable award agreements evidencing options to purchase common shares of SP or the Company owned by the Executive that require that such options be exercised within specified periods of time following the Executive’s termination of employment or services shall no longer apply, such that such options may be exercised as provided in the award agreements until the normal stated expiration dates applicable thereto, and (y) the provisions of the applicable award agreements evidencing equity awards with a performance condition granted to the Executive shall be modified such that such equity awards shall remain outstanding through the scheduled vesting dates thereof and shall vest pro rata through the Termination Date and/or be forfeited based on the satisfaction of the applicable performance goals to the same extent as if the Executive’s services to SP had not ended.
(d)Release; Full Satisfaction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no severance pay shall become payable under this Agreement unless and until the Executive executes a separation agreement that includes the waiver and general release of claims in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and such other terms and conditions as mutually agreed, and the Release has become irrevocable within 30 days following the Termination Date; provided that the Executive shall not be required to release any (i) claims for D&O insurance policy coverage and/or indemnification or contribution rights or agreements, (ii) rights under the SIP and any award agreements thereunder, (iii) rights under the Omnibus Incentive Plan (or similar or successor plan or plans) and any award agreements thereunder and/
9


or (iv) any vested benefits under any benefit plans, policies, programs, or arrangements. The payments to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Section 6 upon termination of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive payments in the nature of severance or termination pay or salary continuation that shall be due to the Executive upon a termination of employment, and shall be in lieu of any other such payments under any plan, program, policy, or other arrangement that has heretofore been or shall hereafter be established by SP.
7.Executive Covenants.
(a)Confidentiality. The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s positions with SP and the Company, the Executive will be exposed to and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of SP and the Company and their respective subsidiaries (together, the “Company Group”), including but not limited to, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Company Group, and other forms of information considered by the Company Group reasonably and in good faith to be confidential and in the nature of trade secrets (“Confidential Information”). The Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive will not, other than on behalf of the Company and SP, disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any third person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company or SP, as applicable; provided that disclosure may be made to the extent (i) required by law, regulation, or order of a regulatory body, in each case so long as the Executive gives the Company or SP, as applicable, as much advance notice of the disclosure as possible to enable the Company or SP, as applicable, to seek a protective order, confidential treatment, or other appropriate relief and (ii) necessary to prosecute the Executive’s rights against the Company or SP or to defend himself against allegations by the Company or SP or any of their affiliates, provided that the use and disclosure of Confidential Information is limited to what is reasonably necessary for such prosecution or defense, as applicable. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical, or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Employment Term, the Executive will promptly supply to the Company or SP, as applicable, (i) all property of the Company Group and (ii) all notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data, or any other tangible product or document containing Confidential Information produced by, received by, or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Employment Term. Any material breach of the terms of this paragraph shall be considered Cause.
(b)Noncompetition. By and in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement and the payments to be made and benefits to be provided by SP hereunder, and further in consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the proprietary information of SP and its subsidiaries (the “SP Group”), the Executive agrees that, if the merger is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement prior to January 1, 2022, the Executive will not, during the Noncompetition Term (as defined below), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including but not limited to holding any position
10


as a shareholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided that in no event shall ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding equity securities of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 7(b). Following termination of the Employment Term, upon request of SP during the Noncompetition Term, the Executive shall notify SP of the Executive’s then-current employment status. Any material breach of the terms of this paragraph shall be considered Cause.
(c)Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompetition Term, the Executive agrees that, if the merger is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement prior to January 1, 2022, the Executive shall not, and shall not cause any other person to, (i) interfere with or harm, or attempt to interfere with or harm, the relationship of any member of SP with (A) any Restricted Service Provider (as defined below) or (B) in respect of a Restricted Enterprise, any Restricted Person (as defined below) or (ii) endeavor to entice away from the SP Group (A) any Restricted Service Provider or (B) in respect of a Restricted Enterprise, any Restricted Person.
(d)Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive shall not make or publish any disparaging statements (whether written or oral) regarding SP or the Company or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, or employees, and SP and the Company shall not, and shall use their best efforts to ensure that their respective directors and officers do not, make or publish any disparaging statements (whether written or oral) regarding the Executive or any member of his immediate family.
(e)Proprietary Rights. The Executive assigns all of the Executive’s interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, and patentable or copyrightable works initiated, conceived, or made by the Executive, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Employment Term and related to the business or activities of the SP Group to SP or its nominee. Whenever requested to do so by SP, the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments, or other instruments that SP shall in good faith deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents, or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the SP Group therein. These obligations shall continue beyond the conclusion of the Employment Term with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements, or copyrightable works initiated, conceived, or made by the Executive during the Employment Term.
(f)Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 7 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company or SP, as the case may be, for which the Company or SP would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of such breach or any threat of breach, the Company or SP, as applicable, shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach, or continued breach by the Executive and any and all persons or entities acting for or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company or SP, as applicable, may be entitled at law or in equity. The
11


terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company or SP, as applicable, from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to, the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the business of the Company Group because of the Executive’s access to Confidential Information and his material participation in the operation of such business. Should a court, arbitrator, or other similar authority determine, however, that any provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 7 are not reasonable or valid, either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties hereto agree that such covenants should be interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent to which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable or valid. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained in this Section 7.
(g)Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(i)The “Noncompetition Term” shall mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending 24 months following the Termination Date.
(ii)“Restricted Enterprise” shall mean (x) during the Employment Term, any person, corporation, partnership, or other entity that competes, directly or indirectly, in the Territory with respect to the property and casualty insurance business and reinsurance business conducted by the SP Group during the Employment Term (the “Current Business”) and (y) following the Termination Date, the Current Business and any other business activity that is material to the revenues or earnings of the SP Group as of the Termination Date.
(iii)“Restricted Person” shall mean any person who during the last year of the Employment Term was a customer of the SP Group or otherwise had a material business relationship with the SP Group.

8.Directors & Officers Insurance. The Company and SP shall maintain directors and officers liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts (as determined by the Board and the SP Board, respectively), and the Executive shall be covered under such insurance to the same extent as other directors and officers of the Company and SP, as applicable. The Executive shall continue to be covered by such insurance for six years following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason. Without limiting the terms and conditions of the
12


existing (or any future) indemnification agreement to which the Executive and any member of the SP Group are parties, the Company and SP undertake to indemnify the Executive for and against all losses and expenses, and agree to advance costs incurred, in respect of any proceeding in which the Executive is invested because of the Executive’s association with the Company, SP or any of their respective affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted by law (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, personal disputes between the Executive and the SP Group over this Agreement, the equity awards held by the Executive, and other similar personal disputes).
9.Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify the Executive with respect to any claims or lawsuits by Executive’s former employer that his activities for the Company breach his former employment contract or his fiduciary duties to his former employer other than a willful breach of an obligation to preserve the former employer’s confidential information.
10.No Waiver of Rights. The failure to enforce at any time the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by any other party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of any party to enforce each and every provision in accordance with its terms.
11.Notices. Every notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by email, by a reputable same-day or overnight courier service (charges prepaid), by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by facsimile to the recipient with a confirmation copy to follow the next day to be delivered by personal delivery or by a reputable same-day or overnight courier service to the appropriate party’s address or fax number below (or such other address and fax number as a party may designate by notice to the other party):

Each party certifies and acknowledges that (A) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (B) each such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (C) each such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (D) each such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 15.
16.Modifications and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, altered, or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by any other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions at the time or at any prior or subsequent time.
17.Headings. The headings contained herein are solely for the purposes of reference, are not part of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement
18.Section 280G.
(a)In the event that any of the payments or benefits made or provided to or for the benefit of, or that may be made or provided to or for the benefit of, the Executive in connection with a change in control or an effective change in control (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) or the Executive’s termination of employment, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement, plan, program and arrangement of SP, the Company and their respective affiliates (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “Aggregate Payments”) is determined to constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and would, but for this Section 18(a) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Aggregate Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the
15


Executive of the Aggregate Payment after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the Aggregate Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under clause (i) above is less than the amount under clause (ii) above will the Aggregate Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Aggregate Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. “Net Benefit” will mean the present value of the Aggregate Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment, and excise taxes. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 18(a) shall be made in a manner determined by the Company that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.
(b)All calculations and determinations under this Section 18 shall be made by an independent accounting firm or independent tax counsel appointed by the Company (the “Tax Counsel”) whose determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company, SP and the Executive for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations required by this Section 18, the Tax Counsel may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. The Company, SP and the Executive shall furnish the Tax Counsel with such information and documents as the Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make its determinations under this Section 18.
19.Applicability of Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code.
(a)Generally. This Agreement is intended to comply with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance thereunder (collectively referred to as “Section 409A” and “Section 457A,” respectively). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent possible, be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A and Section 457A, and, accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the payments and benefits set forth herein comply with or are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A and Section 457A and agree not to take any position, and to cause their agents, affiliates, accountants, successors and assigns not to take any position, inconsistent with such interpretation for any reporting purposes, whether internal or external. If any provision of this Agreement provides for payment within a time period, the determination of when such payment shall be made within such time period shall be solely in the discretion of the Company or SP, as applicable. Each installment of payments (if any) provided for under this Agreement shall be treated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A. The Executive and the Company and SP agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure any payments or benefits contemplated under this Agreement or otherwise to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting the Executive to any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A or Section 457A. Nothing in this Section 19 shall operate to require the Executive to agree to a restructuring proposal which would result in any diminution in the value of the Executive’s entitlements under this Agreement or otherwise.
(b)Reimbursements. To the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit, or other, similar plan or arrangement in which the Executive participates during the Employment Term or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, (i) the
16


amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement provided to the Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to the Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary SP or Company policies and procedures regarding such reimbursement of expenses.
(c)Termination Payments. If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of the Executive’s employment shall be made unless and until the Executive incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, with respect to any payments or benefits subject to Section 409A, reference to Executive’s “termination of employment” (and corollary terms) from SP shall be construed to refer to the Executive’s “separation from service” (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h), as uniformly applied by SP) from SP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, and if any or all of the payments or the continued provision of any benefits under Section 6 or any other provision of this Agreement are subject to Section 409A and payable upon a separation from service, then such payments or benefits that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive during the first six months after termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid or provided on the first business day after the six-month anniversary of termination of employment (or within 30 days following the Executive’s death, if earlier) in a single lump sum and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
20.No Interference. Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits Executive’s ability to report possible violations of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Governmental Agencies”). Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate with any Governmental Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Governmental Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company or SP. Nothing in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability under applicable United States federal law to (a) disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (b) disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.
21.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
17


22.No Mitigation; No Offset. In the event of any termination of employment, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any amounts due to the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the Executive may obtain.
23.Tax Equalization. During the Executive’s employment, the Executive is intended to incur only U.S. federal, state and local taxes in respect of his services to the Company and its affiliates. To the extent that, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the Executive is also subject to taxes on the income he earns from foreign jurisdictions, including, without limitation, Bermuda and Sweden, the Company shall make tax equalization payments to or on behalf of the Executive in respect of all such taxable income of the Executive. Such equalization shall be on an after-tax basis and relate to and include all federal, provincial, state and local or other taxes of any kind, including, without limitation, all mandatory government withholdings and/or other payroll taxes, in any such foreign jurisdictions and the United States. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this Section is to ensure that the Executive pays no more income, mandatory governmental withholdings, payroll and/or other taxes than the Executive would have paid in the aggregate in respect of the taxable years on his income, and is in the same financial and tax position, had the Executive been subject only to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in respect of his services to the Company and its affiliates and not in any other foreign jurisdiction or any province or locality thereof.

EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED SHARES AGREEMENT
EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED SHARES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice of Grant (as defined below), by and between Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), and the employee whose name appears in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan. Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 6, 2020, among Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, the Company and Yoga Merger Sub Limited, a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Agreement”).
1.Grant of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Participant, effective as of the Grant Date, of the number of restricted shares of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”) specified in the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan Restricted Shares Grant Notice delivered by the Company to the Participant (the “Notice of Grant”). This Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. The Restricted Shares shall be considered a Service Award under the Plan.
2.Vesting of Restricted Shares; Restricted Period.
(a)Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restricted Shares shall become vested, if at all, in five equal installments on each anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to the Participant’s continued provision of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through such date; provided that if the Merger Agreement is terminated without the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred, a portion of the Restricted Shares shall vest as of the date the Merger Agreement is terminated (the “Merger Agreement Termination Date”) in an amount equal to the number of Restricted Shares that would have become vested through the Merger Agreement Termination Date had the five-year vesting period instead commenced as of the date of execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Signing Date”), and the remainder of the unvested Restricted Shares shall vest in equal annual installments on each anniversary of the Signing Date subject to the Participant’s continued provision of Services as a Director on the Board through such date. The period over which the Restricted Shares vest is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”
(b)Termination of Services.
(i)If, on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Participant dies or the Participant is removed from the Board or is not re-nominated for election to the Board for any reason, then 100% of the unvested




Restricted Shares shall vest immediately upon any such death, removal or failure to nominate.
(ii)If, after the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of (x) the Participant’s death or Disability, (y) a termination by the Company without Cause or (z) the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, in each case during the Restricted Period, a number of Restricted Shares shall vest as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service equal to the number of Restricted Shares that would have vested had the Participant’s Service continued through the second anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service. Any remaining unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service. “Good Reason” and “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable.
(iii)If, at any time during the Restricted Period, the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause or the Participant’s resignation without Good Reason, all unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
(c)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, if the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause or if the Participant resigns from employment with the Company for Good Reason, in each case, during the period beginning on the date that is ninety (90) days prior to a Change in Control and ending on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control, all unvested Restricted Shares shall fully vest on the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
(d)Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any Restricted Shares under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.
3.Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Restricted Shares that become vested unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Shares and Participant may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.




4.Participant’s Rights with Respect to the Restricted Shares.
(a)Restrictions on Transferability. During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares granted hereby are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death.
(b)Rights as Shareholder; Dividends. The Participant shall be the record owner of the Restricted Shares until the Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any non-cash dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. If the Participant forfeits any rights he has under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2, the Participant shall, on the date of such forfeiture, no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares and shall no longer be entitled to vote or receive dividends on such Shares.
(c)Shares Certificates. The Company may issue shares certificates or evidence the Participant’s interest by using a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent. Physical possession or custody of any shares certificates that are issued shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Restricted Shares vest.
5.Adjustment in Capitalization. The number, class or other terms of any outstanding Restricted Shares shall be adjusted by the Board to reflect any extraordinary dividend, shares dividend, shares split or share combination or any recapitalization, business combination, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other similar transaction affecting the Shares in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion.
6.Miscellaneous.
(a)Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.
(b)No Right to Continued Services. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Shareholders to terminate the Participant’s Services at any time, or confer upon the




Participant any right to continue in the Services of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)Interpretation. The Committee shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Committee under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.
(d)Tax Withholding. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to the Participant in cash (whether under the Plan or otherwise) any amount of taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the Restricted Shares under the Plan as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy tax withholding required under the laws of any country, state, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions that are required by law to be withheld. The Company may require the recipient of the Shares to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy the amount of taxes required to be withheld as a condition to the issuance of shares deliverable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restricted Shares. The Committee may, in its discretion, require the Participant, or permit the Participant to elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, to meet such obligations by having the Company sell the least number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the amount required to be withheld. The Company may defer delivery of the Shares until such requirements are satisfied.
(e)Section 83(b) Election. The Participant may make an election under Code Section 83(b) (a “Section 83(b) Election”) with respect to the Restricted Shares. Any such election must be made within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. If the Participant elects to make a Section 83(b) Election, the Participant shall provide the Company with a copy of an executed version and satisfactory evidence of the filing of the executed Section 83(b) Election with the US Internal Revenue Service. The Participant agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that the Section 83(b) Election is actually and timely filed with the US Internal Revenue Service and for all tax consequences resulting from the Section 83(b) Election.
(f)Forfeiture, Cancellation and “Clawback” of Awards. The Participant shall forfeit and disgorge to the Company any Restricted Shares granted or vested and any gains earned or accrued due to the sale of any Shares to the extent required by the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, as adopted on February 27, 2018 and as the same may be amended from time to time, or Applicable Law or regulations in effect on or after the Effective Date, including Section 304 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 10D of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee shall have full authority to implement any policies and procedures necessary to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder. The implementation of policies and procedures pursuant to this Section 6(f) and any




modification of the same shall not be subject to any restrictions on amendment or modification of Awards. Awards granted under the Plan (and gains earned or accrued in connection with Awards) shall also be subject to such generally applicable policies as to forfeiture and recoupment (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of material financial or accounting errors, financial or other misconduct or Competitive Activity) as may be adopted by the Administrator or the Board from time to time and communicated to Participants. Any such policies may (in the discretion of the Administrator or the Board) be applied to outstanding Awards at the time of adoption of such policies, or on a prospective basis only.
(g)Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York regardless of the application of rules of conflict of law that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (c) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) that the value of the Restricted Shares is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (e) that the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
(i)Employee Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby, the Participant: (a) authorizes the Company, any agent of the Company administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services, to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates any information and data the Company requests in order to facilitate the grant of the Award and the administration of the Plan; (b) waives any data privacy rights the Participant may have with respect to such information; and (c) authorizes the Company and its agents to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
(j)Consent to Electronic Delivery. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby, Participant hereby consents to the delivery of information (including, without limitation, information required to be delivered to the Participant pursuant to applicable securities laws) regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Plan, this Agreement and the Restricted Shares via Company website, email or other electronic delivery.
(k)Headings and Captions. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

You can learn more about the Company’s historical LTI grant practices in the Company’s most recent annual proxy, which may be found at this link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1576018/000157601820000054/a2020 definitiveproxystatem.htm#sA2FD8991D85555FEBF084DD553D2D2BE.

Sign-On LTI Award. In consideration of your acceptance of the offer, at or as soon as practicable after your start date, you would be granted a one-time LTI award of $1.5m shares of restricted stock of the Company. The number of shares granted to you would be based on the reported closing price of the TPRE shares on the most recent trading date prior to your start date. The restricted shares would vest in annual installments of 20% per year on the first five anniversaries of your start date, subject to your continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. The sign-on restricted stock award would be granted under the Company’s form of restricted stock agreement, which you may review at this link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1576018/000157601819000046/amend edformofemployeerestr.htm.

In addition to any other applicable accelerated vesting provisions incident to termination or Change in Control contained in the equity documents and afforded to other direct reports of the CEO, if your employment is terminated without “Cause,” or if you resign following the occurrence of “Good Reason,” and (i) the Closing has not occurred or the merger agreement has been terminated without the Closing having occurred, your Sign-On LTI Award shall become fully vested; or (ii) the Closing has occurred, your Sign-On LTI Award shall be entitled to accelerated vesting for any portion that would have vested within two (2) years of your termination.

For purposes of this offer letter and any subsequent Employment Agreement, Cause and Good Reason shall be defined no less favorably  than as set forth in the current Employment Agreements of the Company’s current direct reports to the CEO (such definitions are set forth in the attached Exhibit “A” and are hereby incorporated by reference); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, Good Reason shall also include (a) you not being provided the position, authorities, and duties of Chief Financial Officer of the combined entity reporting to the CEO and Chairman upon the Closing; or (b) if no Closing has occurred or the merger agreement has been terminated without the Closing having occurred, any material adverse changes or material diminution in the authorities, responsibilities or duties of your position of Chief Operating Officer of the Company (reporting to the CEO and Chairman of the Company) in existence as of the Start Date and as may be enhanced thereafter.

Benefits. You would be eligible to participate in all of the standard Company retirement, health and other benefit plans. The annual proxy includes information about some of these plans, and you will receive more detail on them shortly.

IMAGE_01A.JPG Severance Pay. In the event that the Company terminates your employment without “cause” (other than by reason of death or disability) or you terminate your employment with “good reason”, the Company would provide you with severance pay consisting of (i) an annual bonus payment based on actual performance against established metrics, prorated for the period of your service prior to the termination date; (ii) payment of 18 months’ of base salary; and (iii) 18 months of continued participation in
2



the Company’s medical and life insurance plans at active employee rates. These severance benefits would be subject to your entry into a customary release of claims, and the release agreement would also include the customary restrictive covenant agreements that the Company uses with respect to the CEO’s direct reports, including noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions, as well as an obligation to maintain the Company’s confidential information. The annual proxy includes information about the Company’s severance practices for the CEO’s direct reports (including payment timing), and these terms would also apply to you.

Full-Blown Employment Agreement. At or as soon as practicable after the Closing (currently expected to occur in Q1 2021), you and the Company shall enter into a mutually agreeable employment agreement that, among other things, shall be no less favorable to you, in all material regards, than (i) the terms set forth in this offer letter agreement; and (ii) the terms contained in any Employment Agreement with any current direct reports of the CEO or direct reports of the CEO following the Closing who have entered into Employment Agreements; provided, that, the amount of any compensation shall be as set forth herein.

Miscellaneous Matters. This offer letter is governed by New York State law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws, and you and the Company agree that any disputes between us regarding your employment will be resolved by a non-jury trial in the Federal or State courts located in New York county. This offer letter sets forth our entire mutual understanding regarding your employment and supersedes all of our prior discussions and negotiations.

We believe that the Company presents a tremendous value creation opportunity and we view you as an important part of our future successes. I look forward to working with you.

EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED SHARES AGREEMENT
EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED SHARES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice of Grant (as defined below), by and between Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), and the employee whose name appears in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan. Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 6, 2020, among Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, the Company and Yoga Merger Sub Limited, a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Agreement”).
1.Grant of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Participant, effective as of the Grant Date, of the number of restricted shares of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”) specified in the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan Restricted Shares Grant Notice delivered by the Company to the Participant (the “Notice of Grant”). This Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. The Restricted Shares shall be considered a Service Award under the Plan.
2.Vesting of Restricted Shares; Restricted Period.
(a)Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restricted Shares shall become vested, if at all, in five equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Grant Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued provision of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through such date. The period over which the Restricted Shares vest is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”
(b)Termination of Services.
(i)Termination by the Company without Cause; by the Participant for Good Reason.
(1)If, either (x) on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (y) after the date on which the Merger Agreement has been terminated without the Closing having occurred, the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of (I) a termination by the Company without Cause or (II) the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, then 100% of the unvested Restricted Shares shall vest immediately upon such termination of employment.
1



(2)If, after the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of (x) a termination by the Company without Cause or (y) the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, in each case during the Restricted Period, a number of Restricted Shares shall vest as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services equal to the number of Restricted Shares that would have vested had the Participant’s Services continued through the second anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Termination of employment. Any remaining unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
(3)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” and “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Participant’s offer letter employment agreement dated September 23, 2020 or any subsequent employment agreement with the Company, as applicable, as in effect on the applicable date.
(ii)Death; Disability. If, at any time during the Restricted Period, the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, a number of Restricted Shares shall vest as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service equal to the number of Restricted Shares that would have vested had the Participant’s Service continued through the next vesting date immediately following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services. Any remaining unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
(iii)For Cause; Voluntary Resignation. If, at any time during the Restricted Period, the Participant’s Services to the Company terminate by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause or the Participant’s resignation without Good Reason, all unvested Restricted Shares shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Services.
(c)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include the closing of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement), if the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause or if the Participant resigns from employment with the Company for Good Reason, in each case, during the period beginning on the date that is ninety (90) days prior to a Change in Control and ending on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control, all unvested Restricted Shares shall fully vest on the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Services.
2

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any Restricted Shares under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.
3.Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Restricted Shares that become vested unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Shares and Participant may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
4.Participant’s Rights with Respect to the Restricted Shares.
(a)Restrictions on Transferability. During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares granted hereby are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death.
(b)Rights as Shareholder; Dividends. The Participant shall be the record owner of the Restricted Shares until the Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any non-cash dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. If the Participant forfeits any rights he has under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2, the Participant shall, on the date of such forfeiture, no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares and shall no longer be entitled to vote or receive dividends on such Shares.
(c)Shares Certificates. The Company may issue shares certificates or evidence the Participant’s interest by using a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent. Physical possession or custody of any shares certificates that are issued shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Restricted Shares vest.
5.Adjustment in Capitalization. The number, class or other terms of any outstanding Restricted Shares shall be adjusted by the Board to reflect any extraordinary dividend, shares dividend, shares split or share combination or any recapitalization, business combination, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other similar transaction affecting the Shares in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion.
3



6.Miscellaneous.
(a)Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.
(b)No Right to Continued Services. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Shareholders to terminate the Participant’s Services at any time, or confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Services of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)Interpretation. The Committee shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Committee under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.
(d)Tax Withholding. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to the Participant in cash (whether under the Plan or otherwise) any amount of taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the Restricted Shares under the Plan as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy tax withholding required under the laws of any country, state, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions that are required by law to be withheld. The Company may require the recipient of the Shares to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy the amount of taxes required to be withheld as a condition to the issuance of shares deliverable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restricted Shares. The Committee may, in its discretion, require the Participant, or permit the Participant to elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, to meet such obligations by having the Company sell the least number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the amount required to be withheld. The Company may defer delivery of the Shares until such requirements are satisfied.
(e)Section 83(b) Election. The Participant may make an election under Code Section 83(b) (a “Section 83(b) Election”) with respect to the Restricted Shares.

The Participant agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that the Section 83(b) Election is actually and timely filed with the US Internal Revenue Service and for all tax consequences resulting from the Section 83(b) Election.
4



(f)Forfeiture, Cancellation and “Clawback” of Awards. The Participant shall forfeit and disgorge to the Company any Restricted Shares granted or vested and any gains earned or accrued due to the sale of any Shares to the extent required by the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, as adopted on February 27, 2018 and as the same may be amended from time to time, or Applicable Law or regulations in effect on or after the Effective Date, including Section 304 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 10D of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee shall have full authority to implement any policies and procedures necessary to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.

Any such policies may (in the discretion of the Administrator or the Board) be applied to outstanding Awards at the time of adoption of such policies, or on a prospective basis only.
(g)Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York regardless of the application of rules of conflict of law that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (c) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) that the value of the Restricted Shares is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (e) that the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
(i)Employee Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby, the Participant: (a) authorizes the Company, any agent of the Company administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services, to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates any information and data the Company requests in order to facilitate the grant of the Award and the administration of the Plan; (b) waives any data privacy rights the Participant may have with respect to such information; and (c) authorizes the Company and its agents to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
5

c.Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification
. The interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that
34




commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Sections 4.18(b) and (c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 4.18(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 4.18(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 4.18(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
d.Rounding
. Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio or percentage is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
e.References to Agreement and Laws
. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) any definition or reference to formation documents, governing documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual documents or instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (b) any definition or reference to any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, the Bankruptcy Code, the Code, the Commodity Exchange Act, ERISA, the Exchange Act, the PATRIOT Act, the Securities Act, the UCC, the Investment Company Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act of the United States or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Applicable Law.

. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
i.Exchange Rate Fluctuations
. When applying any monetary limits, thresholds and other exceptions to the representations and warranties, undertakings and Events of Default under the Loan Documents, the equivalent to an amount in the relevant currency shall be calculated at the Spot Rate or, to the extent such Spot Rate is not available, such other publicly available conversion rate agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent acting reasonably in each case, as at the date of the incurring or making the relevant disposal, acquisition, investment, lease, loan, debt or guarantee or taking any other relevant action.
j.Borrower Representative
. Each Borrower hereby designates the Parent Borrower as the Borrower Representative. The Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on behalf of the Parent Borrower and each Co-Borrower for the purposes of issuing Notices of Borrowing and Notices of Conversion/Continuation of any Loans pursuant to Article II and Article IV or similar notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of the Parent Borrower and/or any Co-Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Parent Borrower and each Co-Borrower agree that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by the Parent Borrower or such Co-Borrower, as applicable, and shall be binding upon and enforceable to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by the Parent Borrower or such Co-Borrower, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all obligations of the Parent Borrower and the Co-Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be joint and several.

m.Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans
.
13.Requests for Borrowing. The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than (i) 11:00 a.m., on the day of each Base Rate Loan and (ii) 12:00 noon, at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, of a Borrower’s intention to borrow, specifying (A) the identity of the applicable Borrower, (B) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (C) the amount of such Borrowing, which shall be, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (D)  whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (E) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that if a Borrower wishes to request LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of twelve months in duration or less than one month in duration, such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such borrowing, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. If the Borrower Representative fails to specify a type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower Representative requests a borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. A Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m., in the case of a Base Rate Loan, or 12:00 noon, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.
14.Disbursement of Revolving Credit. Not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed borrowing date (or such later date as agreed by the Borrower Representative), each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower specified in the Notice of Borrowing, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available funds by
37




crediting or wiring such proceeds in accordance with any wiring instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, or if no such wiring instructions are set forth, the deposit account of the applicable Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 4.7, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan.
n.Repayment and Prepayment of Loans

15.Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Commitment Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

17.Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate Credit Exposures exceed the Commitment, the Borrowers agree to repay within one Business Day of notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Credit Extensions in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and second, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a payment of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral Account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in an amount equal to such excess (such Cash Collateral to be applied in accordance with Section 9.2(b)).
18.Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, with irrevocable prior written notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent given not later than 12:00 noon (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans and $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. A notice of prepayment received after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next Business Day unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9.
19.Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers may not prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9.

Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Any such written notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of any other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from, or consummation of, any other event, but shall otherwise be irrevocable.
p.Termination of Revolving Credit Facility
. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Commitments shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the date that is five Business Days after the Walk-Away Date or, if the Walk-Away Date is extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, the date that is five Business Days after the Walk-Away Date as so extended, if the Closing Date has not occurred on or prior to such date.
ARTICLE III.

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY
q.Syndicated Letters of Credit
.
20.General. At the request of the Borrower Representative, each Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue Letters of Credit as Syndicated Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Subsidiary thereof in U.S. Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be issued severally by all of the Lenders acting through the L/C Agent, at the time of issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D with such changes therein as the L/C Agent (in consultation with the Borrower Representative) determines are acceptable to it and not adverse to the interests of the Lenders.
21.Notice of Issuance. To request the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the L/C Agent; provided that the L/C Agent hereby approves such electronic communication delivered by email) to the L/C Agent and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not later than 12:00 noon three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the L/C Agent, including any request for the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit on the Closing Date, subject to approval by the L/C Agent) a Letter of Credit Notice on the L/C Agent’s standard form (with such changes as the L/C Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate) or other electronic notice acceptable to the L/C Agent (a “Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of
39




Credit, or identifying the Syndicated Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying: (A) the date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Syndicated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.3), (C) the Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit (it being agreed that all Letters of Credit shall be issued in U.S. Dollars), (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and (E) such other customary information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be, such Syndicated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Syndicated Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance with Section 3.3. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that Syndicated Letters of Credit issued to support reinsurance-related obligations shall have terms and conditions necessary to qualify such Syndicated Letters of Credit as permissible collateral under Applicable Law and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lenders agree to issue such Syndicated Letters of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice or other Letter of Credit Document submitted by the Borrower Representative to, or entered into by a Borrower with, the L/C Agent relating to any Syndicated Letter of Credit issued for its account, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
22.Obligation of Lenders. The obligation of any Issuing Lender under any Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall be in an amount equal to such Issuing Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit at the time such Syndicated Letter of Credit is issued (subject to any amendments to such Syndicated Letter of Credit expressly permitted hereunder) and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Absent the prior written consent of each Issuing Lender, no Syndicated Letter of Credit may be issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Issuing Lenders thereunder as provided in this Section 3.1(c). The failure of any Issuing Lender to make any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit on any date shall not relieve any other Issuing Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Issuing Lender to make its L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit. Concurrently with or promptly following any change in Commitments pursuant to Section 11.9 (to the extent agreed to between the assigning Lender and the assignee) or any other event or circumstance resulting in a change in the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders, the L/C Agent shall amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to reflect the new Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Until a Syndicated Letter of Credit has been so amended or replaced, the Lenders (both before and after giving effect to the change in Commitment Percentages) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally sold and purchased participations in such Syndicated Letter of Credit (including each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Cash Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto) as necessary to give effect to the change in Commitment Percentages.
23.Issuance Administration. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the L/C Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Issuing Lender, and the L/C Agent shall act under each Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the L/C Agent shall act, as the agent of each such Issuing Lender to (i) execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (ii) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iv) notify such Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related L/C Disbursement is to be made and (v) exercise all rights held by the issuer of a letter of credit under the documents for which such Syndicated Letter of
40




Credit shall provide credit enhancement (or designate any Person as its representative for all such purposes under such documents); provided that the L/C Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any L/C Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit (other than in its capacity as an Issuing Lender), and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the L/C Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Issuing Lender each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and to take such other actions contemplated by this Section 3.1(d). Promptly upon the request of the L/C Agent, each Issuing Lender will furnish to the L/C Agent such additional powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Syndicated Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the L/C Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Issuing Lender to execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit.
24.Disbursement Procedures. The L/C Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Syndicated Letter of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Syndicated Letter of Credit. The L/C Agent shall promptly after such examination and before such L/C Disbursement notify each applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of such demand for payment. With respect to any demand for payment made under a Syndicated Letter of Credit which the L/C Agent has informed the applicable Issuing Lenders is valid, each such Issuing Lender will promptly make a L/C Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with the amount of its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, and such L/C Disbursement is to be made to the account of the L/C Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Issuing Lenders. The L/C Agent will make such L/C Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in the funds so received, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for such L/C Disbursement. Promptly following any L/C Disbursement by any Issuing Lender in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the L/C Agent will notify the Borrower Representative of such L/C Disbursement.
25.Reimbursement. Each Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lenders in respect of any L/C Disbursement made under such Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s Syndicated Letters of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement, with interest payable thereon as provided in Section 3.5, no later than 12:00 noon., New York City time, on the second Business Day after the date of the L/C Disbursement. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse the Issuing Lenders with respect to the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.
r.Participated Letters of Credit

26.General. At the request of the Borrower Representative, the Fronting Bank agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 3.2, to issue Letters of Credit as Participated Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower or (if required by the Fronting Bank or applicable Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Subsidiary thereof in U.S. Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period. Each Participated Letter of Credit shall be in a form
41




customarily used or otherwise approved by the Fronting Bank (in consultation with the Borrower Representative).
27.Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Fronting Bank; provided that the Fronting Bank hereby approves such electronic communication delivered by email) to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank, including any request for the issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit on the Closing Date, subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank) a Letter of Credit Notice on the Fronting Bank’s standard form (with such changes as the Fronting Bank shall reasonably deem appropriate) or other electronic notice acceptable to the Fronting Bank (a “Participated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Participated Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying: (A) the date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Participated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.3), (C) the Stated Amount of such Participated Letter of Credit (it being agreed that all Letters of Credit shall be issued in U.S. Dollars), (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and (E) such other customary information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be, such Participated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Participated Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance with Section 3.3. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that Participated Letters of Credit issued to support reinsurance-related obligations shall have terms and conditions necessary to qualify such Participated Letters of Credit as permissible collateral under Applicable Law and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Fronting Bank agrees to issue such Participated Letters of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Participated Letter of Credit Notice or other Letter of Credit Document submitted by the Borrower Representative to, or entered into by a Borrower with, the Fronting Bank relating to any Participated Letter of Credit issued for its account, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
28.Participations. By the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank and without any further action on the part of the Fronting Bank or the Lenders, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Participated Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Participated Letter of Credit and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Participated Letters of Credit is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any such Participated Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the aggregate Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 3.2(d)(i) each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Fronting Bank, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Fronting Bank in respect of any Participated Letter of Credit or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be disgorged or refunded to a Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to
42




Section 3.2(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Fronting Bank or, to the extent that any Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank, then to such Lenders and the Fronting Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.
29.Disbursement Procedures; Funding of Participations.
(vi)The Fronting Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Participated Letters of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Participated Letter of Credit. The Fronting Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of such demand for payment and whether the Fronting Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Fronting Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. If a Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Fronting Bank for such L/C Disbursement on the date and time specified in Section 3.2(e), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from a Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Fronting Bank) shall upon such notice make funds available in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank at its payment office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the unpaid L/C Disbursement (such amount, its “L/C Advance”) not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. No such making of a L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vii)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(d) by the time specified therein, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Fronting Bank at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Fronting Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Until a Lender funds its L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 3.2(d) to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement, interest in respect of such Lender’s L/C Advance shall be solely for the account of the Fronting Bank.
30.Reimbursement. Each Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the Fronting Bank in respect of any L/C Disbursement made under such Borrowers’ or its Subsidiary’s Participated Letters of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement, with interest payable thereon as provided in Section 3.5, no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day after the date of the L/C Disbursement. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse the Fronting Bank with respect to its Reimbursement Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.

31.Repayment of Participations.
(viii)At any time after the Fronting Bank has made a payment under any Participated Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3.2(d)(i), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Fronting Bank any payment in respect of the related unpaid L/C Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ix)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 3.2(d) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 4.1 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Fronting Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank its Ratable Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect.
s.Expiry Date of Letters of Credit
. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (a) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), or (b) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (except to the extent cash collateralized at 100% of the Stated Amount thereof, backstopped or otherwise provided for pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the L/C Agent); provided, however, if the Borrower Representative so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Notice, the L/C Agent or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, agrees to issue a Letter of Credit that provides for the automatic renewal for successive periods of one year or less (subject to clause (b) above) (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”) unless and until the L/C Agent or Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall have delivered prior written notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Non-Extension”) no later than 60 days prior to the expiry date specified in such Letter of Credit (such time, the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Agent or Fronting Bank, as applicable, to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the L/C Agent or Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall not permit any such extension, nor shall it be required to extend such Letter of Credit, if (x) the L/C Agent or Fronting Bank, as applicable, has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 5.3), (y) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Borrower Representative that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.3 is not then satisfied or (z) the Commitment Termination Date has occurred.

(xv)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers; or
(xvi)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other guarantor, other than as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement.
33.None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility to any Borrower by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) when determining whether drafts and other
45




documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) the acceptance by the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent, as the case may be, of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, (ii) the exclusive reliance by the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent, as the case may be, on the documents presented to it under a Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent.
u.Interest
. Unless each Borrower reimburses each L/C Disbursement made in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account or for the account of any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount of the Reimbursement Obligation thereof shall bear interest from the date of each L/C Disbursement until such amount shall be paid in full as follows: (i) from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to and including the second Business Day following such date, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate at such time applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate at such time applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%. Such interest shall be payable on demand.
v.Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit
.
34.If (A) as of the Commitment Termination Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding, (B) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require each Borrower to Cash Collateralize the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure issued for its account or for the account of any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.2(b), (C) the aggregate L/C Obligations in respect of Participated Letters of Credit and Syndicated Letters of Credit for which JPMorgan has agreed to serve as a Fronting Bank at any time exceeds the Fronting Sublimit, or (D) the aggregate Credit Exposure for all Lenders at any time exceeds the aggregate Commitments, then in each case, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount of Cash Collateral in U.S. Dollars equal to 103% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for its account outstanding at such time (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder); provided that in the case of clauses (C) and (D) above, such Borrower shall only be required to deliver an amount of Cash Collateral equal to the amount of the applicable excess. The Administrative Agent shall deposit such Cash Collateral in a special collateral account of the applicable Borrower pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders.
35.Each Borrower will grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Bank and the other Issuing Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and
46




all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Borrower, and for application to its aggregate Obligations, as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Fronting Bank and the other Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers shall have no interest therein except as set forth in Section 3.6(c). Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower Representative (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
36.In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by any Issuing Lender, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the applicable Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse the Issuing Lender therefor. Any amounts remaining in any Cash Collateral Account (including interest and profits) after the expiration of the Letters of Credit of a Borrower and the reimbursement in full of the Issuing Lenders for all of their respective obligations thereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Borrower, to be applied against the then due Obligations of such Borrower in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct. If a Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, such amount (including interest and profits), to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be returned to such Borrower, provided that after giving effect to such return (i) the aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If a Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
w.Use of Letters of Credit
. The Letters of Credit shall be available for, and each Borrower agrees that it shall use and, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Subsidiary to use its Letters of Credit to support, its own insurance obligations, obligations under reinsurance agreements and retrocession agreements to which it is a party and similar risk obligations and for general corporate purposes.
x.The Fronting Bank and L/C Agent
. The Fronting Bank and the L/C Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued or administered by it and the documents associated therewith, and such Fronting Bank and L/C Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered in connection with Letters of Credit issued or proposed to be issued by it or administered by it and any documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included such Fronting Bank or L/C Agent with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent, as applicable
y.Letter of Credit Fees and Other Charges
47




. The Borrowers agree to pay the following amounts:
(a)    to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR Rate in effect for such fee from time to time on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the average daily aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first fiscal quarter following the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, (ii) on the Maturity Date and (iii) on the Final Expiry Date; and
(b)    (A) to the Fronting Bank, for its own account, with respect to each Participated Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank hereunder, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Participated Letter of Credit, (B) to each Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, a fronting fee as mutually agreed upon between the Borrower Representative, such Non-NAIC Qualified Lender and such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank with respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower (it being understood that unless otherwise agreed between the applicable Non-NAIC Qualified Lender, such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, such fronting fee shall be paid by reducing the applicable Letter of Credit Fee otherwise payable to such Non-NAIC Qualified Lender by an amount equal to such fronting fee and paying the same to such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) and (B) to the Fronting Bank and the L/C Agent, such reasonable fees and expenses as the Fronting Bank or the L/C Agent customarily require in connection with the issuance, amendment, transfer, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit.
ARTICLE IV.

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS
z.Interest
.
37.Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the Borrower Representative, Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or (B) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Rate (provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days (or four (4) Business Days with respect to a LIBOR Rate based on a twelve month Interest Period or an Interest Period of less than one month) after the Closing Date unless the Borrower Representative has delivered to the Administrative Agent a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement). The Borrower Representative shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2.
38.Default Rate. Subject to Section 9.3, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b), Section 9.1(h) or Section 9.1(i), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower Representative shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%)
48




in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (D) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against a Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.
39.Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).
40.Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the applicable Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.
aa.Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans
. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever a Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day),
49




(C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan; provided that if such Borrower wishes to request LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of twelve months in duration, such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. If the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation prior to the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, then the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan. If the Borrower Representative requests a conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.
ab.Fees
.
(xvii)Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, subject to Section 4.15(a)(iii), the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused portion of the Commitment of the Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any). The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter ending immediately after the Closing Date and ending on the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under the Revolving Credit Facility shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired (or been Cash Collateralized) and the Commitment has been terminated. The Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages.
(xviii)Other Fees. The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.
ac.Manner of Payment
. Each payment by the applicable Credit Party on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its Commitment Percentage in respect of the relevant Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of any Issuing Lender’s
50




fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of such Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11 or Section 11.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by the applicable Credit Party to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.15(a)(ii).
ad.Evidence of Indebtedness
.
41.Extensions of Credit. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or such Issuing Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extension made by the Lenders or such Issuing Lender to the Credit Parties and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
42.Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
ae.Sharing of Payments by Lenders
. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 4.8(b), Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11 or Section 11.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
51




Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
43.if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
44.the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Credit Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 4.14 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
af.Administrative Agent’s Clawback
.
45.Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any proposed borrowing and (ii) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
46.Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
52




Lenders hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case maybe, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
47.Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans, to issue or participate in Letters of Credit and to make payments under this Section, Section 4.11(e), Section 11.3(c) or Section 11.7, as applicable, are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower Representative shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date.
ag.Changed Circumstances
.
48.Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of a Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter such Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.
49.Illegality. If, after the date hereof (or, in the case of any Lender, such later date as such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) in any applicable jurisdiction, any Issuing Lender or any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any changes in, any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Issuing Lender or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or Letter of Credit, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower Representative, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make fund or maintain any such Credit Extension shall be suspended. Upon receipt of such notice by the Borrower Representative, the Credit
53




Parties shall, unless such Issuing Lender or Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 4.12, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower Representative or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.
ah.Indemnity
. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any actual loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of such Borrower to borrow or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan or convert to a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.
ai.Increased Costs
.
50.Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(xix)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Lender;
(xx)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(xxi)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of
54




principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
51.Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Commitment, as applicable, under current Applicable Laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall be advised by any Governmental Authority or shall otherwise determine on the basis of pronouncements of any Governmental Authority that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under this Section (each such claim to be made within a reasonable period of time after the period to which it relates) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.
52.Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, or an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10 and delivered to the Borrower Representative, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be not required to pay such amounts to any Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient unless such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient certifies that it is the general practice of such Lender, Issuing Lender or Recipient at such time to request compensation for such matters from similarly situated borrowers.
53.Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to
55




claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
aj.Taxes
.
54.Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.11, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
55.Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Upon becoming aware that it must make a deduction or withholding of any Tax pursuant to this Section 4.11(b) that requires an increased sum payable by a Credit Party or is otherwise an Indemnified Tax, the applicable Withholding Agent shall promptly notify the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent.
56.Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
57.Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Credit Party by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
58.Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
56




such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
59.Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
60.Status of Lenders.
(xxii)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission (A) would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or (B) would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(xxiii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
a.Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;
b.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
57




i.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
ii.executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
iii.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
iv.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
c.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
d.if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable
58




Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
61.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
62.Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
ak.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
.
63.Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender asserts that it has become illegal for it to issue, make fund or maintain any such Credit Extension under Section 4.8(b), requests compensation under Section 4.9, or requires any Credit Party to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower Representative, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would avoid any illegality described in Section 4.8(b) or eliminate or
59




reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
64.Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender asserts that it has become illegal for it to issue, make fund or maintain any such Credit Extension under Section 4.8(b), requests compensation under Section 4.9, or if any Credit Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or ceases to be a NAIC Qualified Lender (unless such Lender has in effect a Fronting Agreement with a Person which is listed on the NAIC Qualified Institution List to act as a Fronting Bank in accordance with Section 4.16), then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(xxiv)the Borrowers shall have paid or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.9;
(xxv)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of any of its Loans and L/C Advances and its funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9 from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees)) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(xxvi)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(xxvii)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(xxviii)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and, in the case of any request for compensation or Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts, such requests have been rescinded.
65.Selection of Lending Office. Subject to Section 4.12(a), each Lender may make any Loans to the Borrowers through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto.

al.Increase in Commitments
.
66.Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower Representative may from time to time, request an increase in the aggregate Commitments by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $120,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
67.Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
68.Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may also invite one or more Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative.
69.Effective Date and Allocations. If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
70.Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Parent Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Parent Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.9) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments
61




under this Section, after giving effect to any assignments or reallocations of Revolving Credit Loans entered into among the Lenders substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such increase.
71.Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.6 or Section 11.2 to the contrary.
am.Cash Collateral
. If there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined after giving effect to Section 4.15(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
72.Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, will grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Bank and the Lenders, and will maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank and the Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the applicable Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
73.Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under Section 4.14(a) or Section 4.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of its Participated Letter of Credit Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
74.Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Fronting Bank shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.14 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 4.14, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Fronting Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
an.Defaulting Lenders
.
75.Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
62




(xxix)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 11.2.
(xxx)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Fronting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.14; fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages without giving effect to Section 4.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(xxxi)Certain Fees.
e.No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
63




f.A Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 3.9 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral required pursuant to Section 4.14.
g.With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.15(a)(iv).
h.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure is not Cash Collateralized or reallocated pursuant to Section 4.15(a)(iv), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Fronting Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Fronting Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized.
(xxxii)Reallocation of Participations. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure shall be automatically reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 11.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(xxxiii)Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Parent Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.15.
76.Fronting Bank. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Bank shall not be required to issue any Participated Letter of Credit unless the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral provided by the Parent Borrower or the Defaulting Lender are at least equal to the Stated Amount of such Participated Letter of Credit, and participating interests in any such newly issued Participated Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
77.Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent and the Fronting Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
64




determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 4.15(a)(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ao.Provisions Relating to NAIC Qualified Lenders
.
78.Each Lender represents that on the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), (i) it is a NAIC Qualified Lender, (ii) it has entered into a Fronting Agreement with a NAIC Qualified Lender in accordance with the requirements of this Section 4.16 or (iii) it intends to issue Syndicated Letters of Credit hereunder through its Affiliate that is listed on the NAIC Qualified Institutions List.

In connection with the execution or termination of any Fronting Agreement, the L/C Agent is authorized to amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to add or remove the applicable Lender and Fronting Bank, as the case may be. Each Lender shall promptly provide evidence to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 4.16 upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative.
79.If at any time any Lender shall cease to be a NAIC Qualified Lender and does not have a Fronting Agreement in effect with a Fronting Bank, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and forthwith comply with its obligations under this Section 4.16. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may request to have another Lender or another Person that is a NAIC Qualified Lender (which Person shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, such consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) act as Fronting Bank for such Non-NAIC Qualified Lender with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Non-NAIC Qualified Lender. Any such Lender or other Person may, in its sole discretion, agree to act as a Fronting Bank with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure, but has no obligation to do so. After giving effect to the issuance of any such Syndicated Letter of Credit for which JPMorgan has so agreed to act as Fronting Bank, the Fronting Obligations shall not exceed the Fronting Sublimit.
80.In the event any Lender or other Person agrees to act as a Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 4.16(b), the L/C Agent is authorized, upon the Borrower Representative’s request, to amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to remove the applicable Non-NAIC Qualified

The purchase and funding of such participation shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.2(c), Section 3.2(d) and Section 3.2(f), mutatis mutandis.
ap.Extension of Maturity Date
.
    (a)    The Borrower Representative may, by delivering an Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date, request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date in effect at such time (the “Existing Maturity Date”) to the first anniversary of such Existing Maturity Date; provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Credit Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except any representation and warranty that is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, (iii) the Borrower Representative shall pay or cause to be paid any fee to the Extending Lenders as separately agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Extending Lenders in connection with the extension. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is the twentieth day after the date of the Extension Request, or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (the “Response Date”), advise the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender agrees to the requested extension. Each Lender that advises the Administrative Agent that it will not extend the Existing Maturity Date is referred to herein as a “Non-extending Lender”; provided, that any Lender that does not advise the Administrative Agent of its consent to such requested extension by the Response Date and any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender on the Response Date shall be deemed to be a Non-extending Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative, in writing, of the Lenders’ elections promptly following the Response Date. The election of any Lender to agree to such an extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. The Maturity Date may be extended no more than one time pursuant to this Section 4.17.
    (b)    If, by the Response Date, Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate 50% or more of the total Commitments shall constitute Non-extending Lenders, then the Existing Maturity Date shall not be extended and the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall be payable, and the Commitments shall terminate, on the Existing Maturity Date in effect prior to such extension.
    (c)    If (and only if), by the Response Date, Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the total Commitments shall have agreed to extend the Existing Maturity Date (each such consenting Lender, an “Extending Lender”), then effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, the Maturity Date for such Extending Lenders shall be extended to the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date (subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.17(a)). In the event of such extension, the Commitment of each Non-extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date
66




in effect for such Non-extending Lender prior to such extension and the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to such Non-extending Lender shall become due and payable on such Existing Maturity Date and, subject to Section 4.17(d) below, the total Commitments hereunder shall be reduced by the Commitments of the Non-extending Lenders so terminated on such Existing Maturity Date.
    (d)    In the event of any extension of the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4.17(c), the Borrower Representative shall have the right on or before the Existing Maturity Date, at its own expense, to require any Non-extending Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.9) all its interests, rights (other than its rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.11 or Section 11.3 arising prior to the effectiveness of such assignment) and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions identified to the Non-extending Lender by the Borrower Representative, which may include any existing Lender (each a “Replacement Lender”); provided that (i) such Replacement Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.9(b)(iii)(B)), (ii) such assignment shall become effective as of a date specified by the Borrower Representative (which shall not be later than the Existing Maturity Date in effect for such Non-extending Lender prior to the effective date of the requested extension) and (iii) the Replacement Lender shall pay to such Non-extending Lender in immediately available funds on the effective date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the outstanding principal amount of Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued and unpaid for its account or otherwise owed to it hereunder on such date. Prior to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4.17(c), the Borrower Representative shall first make such prepayments of the outstanding Loans and second provide such Cash Collateral (or make such other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit as shall be required such that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of the Non-extending Lenders pursuant to Section 4.17(b) and any assignment pursuant to this Section 4.17(e), the aggregate Credit Exposure less the face amount of any Letter of Credit supported by any such Cash Collateral (or other satisfactory arrangements) so provided does not exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments being extended.
    (e)    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no consent of any Lender (other than the existing Lenders participating in the extension of the Existing Maturity Date) shall be required for any extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 4.17 and (ii) the operation of this Section 4.17 in accordance with its terms is not an amendment subject to Section 11.2.
aq.Alternate Rate of Interest
. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 4.18, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan:
(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and
67




fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request to convert any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be ineffective and (B) if any borrowing request requests a LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative a Term SOFR Notice.
    (d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time with and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

    (e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or
68




election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.18, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.18.

    (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

    (g) Upon the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Representative may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and no Credit Party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(xxxi)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(xxxii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower, any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
257.With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

105




successor Fronting Bank and L/C Agent, if in its sole discretion it elects to and in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Fronting Bank and L/C Agent to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Fronting Bank and L/C Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.

In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender or have any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender or any other Person that is not an Eligible Assignee.
287.Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.1(a) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
118




recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
288.Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), the Parent Borrower, any of the Parent Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.2(a), Section 11.2(b), Section 11.2(c), Section 11.2(d) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9, Section 4.10 and Section 4.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Representative’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Representative to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.12(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 and Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
119




disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Disqualified Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender was a Disqualified Lender at the time of the assignment of any Loans or Commitments to such Lender, following written notice from the Borrower Representative to such Lender and the Administrative Agent: (a) such Lender shall promptly assign all Loans and Commitments held by such Lender to an Eligible Assignee; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrower Representative, such Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender, (ii) the Borrower Representative shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrower Representative’s consent and (iii) the assignment of such Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, shall be at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees and (b) such Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder; provided, that the Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Disqualified Lender.
Any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender and no Disqualified Lender is entitled to receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or will be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices or Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II hereof.
289.Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

dy.Joinder and Termination of Co-Borrowers
.

    (a)    Any direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower may, upon the request of the Borrower Representative at any time, upon not less than (x) seven Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than an Agreed Jurisdiction and (y) upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Subsidiary, become a party to this Agreement as a Co-Borrower by delivering an executed Co-Borrower Joinder, substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to the Administrative Agent for acceptance by it (which shall promptly notify the Lenders); provided, that no Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as a Co-Borrower without the prior written consent of each Lender (unless such Subsidiary is organized under the laws of an Agreed Jurisdiction, in which case no consent shall be required); provided, further, that on and as of the date of acceptance of such Co-Borrower Joinder by the Administrative Agent (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (iii) such Co-Borrower shall be deemed to have appointed the Borrower Representative as its authorized agent pursuant to Section 11.5(d) to accept service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of any nature in any federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) the
126




Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, which may include opinions of counsel and other documents that are consistent with conditions set forth in Section 5.1, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Following the giving of any such notice pursuant to this Section 11.24, if the designation of such Co-Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower Representative shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all Applicable Laws and regulations, including the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and such Lender’s satisfaction, acting reasonably, shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the designation of such Co-Borrower.

    (b)    The Borrower Representative may, at any time at which a Co-Borrower shall not be Borrower with respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit or Loan and which shall have no unpaid L/C Disbursements or unpaid interest on any L/C Disbursements or Loans, terminate such Co-Borrower as a Co-Borrower hereunder by irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders). Immediately upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, all Commitments of the Lenders to issue Letters of Credit and make Loans for the account of such Co-Borrower and all rights of such Co-Borrower hereunder, shall terminate and such Co-Borrower shall immediately cease to be a Co-Borrower hereunder; provided, that all obligations of such Co-Borrower as Borrower hereunder arising in respect of any period in which such Co-Borrower was, or on account of any action or inaction by such Co-Borrower was, a Borrower hereunder shall survive such termination.

    (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, Letters of Credit and all other obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the Parent Borrower and each Co-Borrower. The Parent Borrower and each Co-Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations regardless of which Borrower actually receive the proceeds of any Loan or the benefit of any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 11.24(b) are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair as between any other Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Lenders, the obligations of such other Borrower under this Agreement.

dz.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs
. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
127




    
    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

298.In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Credit Extensions hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Credit Extensions hereunder, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment of all Obligations of the Parent Borrower or any Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents (or, in the case of the Parent Borrower or any Co-Borrower in its capacity as a Guarantor, the full and punctual payment of all Obligations of any other Borrowers under the Loan Documents). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Upon failure by the Parent Borrower or any Co-Borrower to pay punctually any such amount owing by it (or, in the case of the Parent Borrower or any Co-Borrower in its capacity as a Guarantor, upon the failure by any other Borrower to pay punctually any such amount owing by it), each Guarantor agrees to pay forthwith on demand the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.
eb.Guaranty Unconditional
. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XII shall be unconditional, absolute and irrevocable, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(xlix)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release (including with respect to any Cash Collateral) in respect of any obligation of any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise;
128




(l)any modification or amendment of or supplement to any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof;
(li)any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents;
(lii)any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any obligor, or any filing by or against any Credit Party of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law or other similar proceeding affecting any other obligor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any other obligor contained in any of the Loan Documents;
(liii)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any obligor may have at any time against any other obligor, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other corporation or person, whether in connection with any of the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(liv)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other obligor for any reason of any of the Loan Documents, or any provision of Applicable Law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other obligor of principal, interest or any other amount payable under any of the Loan Documents;
(lv)any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any obligation or the Lenders’ rights with respect thereto;
(lvi)the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder or the taking, acceptance or release of other guarantees of the Obligations; or
(lvii)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any obligor, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other corporation or person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than the defense of payment) which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XII.
ec.Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances
. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XII shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have terminated, no Credit Extension shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have expired or have been terminated, backstopped, cash collateralized or otherwise provided for on terms reasonably satisfactory to each Issuing Lender) and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) payable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, or until such earlier date terminated in accordance with Section 12.7. If at any time any payment of any Obligation payable by a Credit Party under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XII with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
ed.Waiver by the Guarantor
129




. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any corporation or person against any other obligor or any other corporation or person. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each waiver set forth in this Section 12.4 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
ee.Subrogation
. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Parent Borrower or any Co-Borrower, or any other insider guarantor that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent against any Credit Party or any other insider guarantor or any Cash Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Credit Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all Obligations payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full in cash, no Loans or Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of all amounts payable under this Guaranty, the termination of the Commitments and expiry or cancellation of all Letters of Credit and (b) the Maturity Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to all amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent of all or any amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
ef.Stay of Acceleration
. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Loan Documents is stayed upon the occurrence of any filing by or against any Credit Party of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors under this Article XII forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders.
eg.Continuing Guaranty; Assignments
130




. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of all Obligations payable under this Agreement, the termination of the Commitments and expiry or cancellation of all Letters of Credit and (ii) the Maturity Date or, in each case, such earlier date on which such Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer 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 such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 11.9.
eh.Subordination of Other Obligations
. Any Indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations of such Credit Party, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by any Guarantor after receipt of notice of an Event of Default (which has occurred and is continuing) by Administrative Agent shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders to be credited and applied against such Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
