Standby Underwritings You authorize the Manager in its discretion, at any time on, or from time to time prior to, the expiration of the conversion right of convertible securities identified in the applicable AAU in the case of securities called for redemption, or the expiration of rights to acquire securities in the case of rights offerings, for which, in either case, standby underwriting arrangements have been made: (i) to purchase convertible securities or rights to acquire Securities for your account, in the open market or otherwise, on such terms as the Manager determines, and to convert convertible securities or exercise rights so purchased; and (ii) to offer and sell the underlying common stock or depositary shares for your account, in the open market or otherwise, for long or short account (for purposes of such commitment, such common stock or depositary shares being considered the equivalent of convertible securities or rights), on such terms consistent with the terms of the Offering set forth in the Prospectus or Offering Circular as the Manager determines. On demand, you will take up and pay for any securities so purchased for your account or you will deliver to the Manager against payment any securities so sold, as the case may be. During such period, you may offer and sell the underlying common stock or depositary shares, but only at prices set by the Manager from time to time, and any such sales will be subject to the Manager’s right to sell to you the underlying common stock or depositary shares as above provided and to the Manager’s right to reserve your securities purchased, received, or to be received upon conversion. You agree not to otherwise bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce others to purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any convertible securities or rights or underlying common stock or depositary shares, provided, however, that no Underwriter will be prohibited from: (a) selling underlying common stock owned beneficially by such Underwriter on the day the convertible securities were first called for redemption, (b) converting convertible securities owned beneficially by such Underwriter on such date or selling underlying common stock issued upon conversion of convertible securities so owned, (c) exercising rights owned beneficially by such Underwriter on the record date for a rights offering, or selling the underlying common stock or depositary shares issued upon exercise of rights so owned, or (d) purchasing or selling convertible securities or rights or underlying common stock or depositary shares as a broker pursuant to unsolicited orders.

Underwriting Agreements If requested by the Underwriters for any Underwritten Offering requested by holders pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.3, the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities to be included therein shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such Underwriters, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the holders of a majority-in-interest of each class of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering and the Underwriters, and to contain such terms and conditions as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including, without limitation, indemnities no less favorable to the recipient thereof than those provided in Section 2.4. The holders of any Registrable Securities to be included in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.2 shall enter into such an underwriting agreement at the request of the Company. All of the representations and warranties and the other agreements by and on the part of the Company to and for the benefit of the Underwriters included in any such underwriting agreement shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders, and any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such holders.

Underwriting If a Registration Statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 1.02 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.02 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, the maximum number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders and the maximum number of any other securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities ("Other Securities") requested to be included therein by other shareholders of the Company having registration rights ("Other Holders"), pro rata among the respective Holders and Other Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities requested to be included in such registration by each such Holder and Other Holder. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw all or any part of such Holder's Registrable Securities therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence.

CONVENTIONAL UNDERWRITING Automatic reinsurance applies only to insurance applications underwritten by THE COMPANY according to THE COMPANY’s conventional underwriting and issue practices. Upon request, THE COMPANY shall provide THE REINSURER with a copy of its current underwriting and issue practices and guidelines.

The party requesting the change must provide a 120-day advance written notice to the other party before the effective date of such change. Recognition of reinsurance premium rates related to these changes must be determined within the 120-day period. If the underwriting change or rate change is unacceptable to either party, this Agreement may be unilaterally terminated for acceptance of new business with a 90-day written termination notice to the other party.
