(B) In accordance with the Reorganisation, it is intended that an Insurance Company will continue to be authorised and regulated to conduct insurance business in each of the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and Bermuda and a corresponding MGU DUA Company shall be established and regulated to write business in each of these jurisdictions.

(C) Once the Reorganisation has been effected, the Parties intend that each Insurance Company shall delegate authority to the MGU DUA Company that is established and regulated in the same or a relevant jurisdiction in respect of various activities relating to its business, and that such MGU DUA Company shall perform the Services for and on behalf of the applicable Insurance Company, pursuant to the term of a delegated underwriting authority agreement (each agreement being a “Binder Agreement” and collectively the “Binder Agreements”).

(D) The Parties now wish to enter into this framework agreement that will set out an overarching framework for the operation of each of the Binder Agreements entered into by their respective subsidiaries, and which will enable them to coordinate how their respective subsidiaries will exercise respective rights and obligations under the Binder Agreements.

5.1 The Parties shall create and maintain at all times the Joint Referral Forum, which shall have the power to act on behalf of, and bind their respective appointing entities in either the Insurance Group or the MGU Group, in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2 (Joint Referral Forum), and which shall work together to manage the provision of the Services, the provision of the underwriting capacity and the performance of any transition or Exit Plan (and any related run-off services) by each MGU DUA Company and / or Insurance Group Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of each Binder Agreement.

5.2 The Parties shall ensure that the Joint Referral Forum is kept fully informed of all relevant information, and is at all times involved to a high degree, in relation to the

13

performance of each Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and their respective subsidiaries’ performance of their obligations under the applicable Binder Agreements.

5.3 Save where Clause 12.4 applies, each Party shall ensure that its respective representatives in the Joint Referral Forum notify the other Party’s representatives in the Joint Referral Forum (a “JRF Notification”) in writing as soon as reasonably practicable if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) any of its subsidiaries that is a party to a Binder Agreement has experienced an Insolvency Event;

(b) any of its subsidiaries has committed a Material Breach of any of its obligations under a Binder Agreement;

(c) any of its subsidiaries has committed an act of fraud under a Binder Agreement;

(d) any Regulatory Restriction Event or any other issue, incident, activity, communication, complaint, happening or omission has occurred, or is likely to occur, which could materially impact upon the ability of any of its subsidiaries to perform its obligations under a Binder Agreement; or

(e) FIHL is in breach of its obligation to obtain prior written consent from MGU Holdco under Clause 2.4.

5.4 Either Party may procure that its representatives in the Joint Referral Forum provide the other Party’s representatives in the Joint Referral Forum with a JRF Notification if it becomes aware that:

(a) any subsidiary of the other Party has committed a Non-material Breach of the applicable Binder Agreement, provided that:

(i) such notification may only be given within thirty (30) calendar days from the date upon which the reporting Party, acting reasonably, could first have become aware of such Non-material Breach;

(ii) the Non-Material Breach is not already in the course of being remedied pursuant to a remediation plan that has been agreed between the parties to the applicable Binder Agreement; and

(iii) a single notification may only be provided in respect of each Referred Non-material Breach, and each notification must be provided at least ten (10) calendar days after the date on which the previous Referred Non-material Breach was provided to the other Party; or

(b) any event listed in Clause 5.3(a) to 5.3(e) (inc.) either has occurred, or is likely to occur (in respect of any event listed in Clause 5.3(d)), in relation to any of the subsidiaries of the other Party.

5.5 If a party to a Binder Agreement commits the same (or materially the same) Non-material Breach on at least four (4) separate occasions during any six (6) month

14

period during the term of the applicable Binder Agreement, the Parties shall treat the final breach as a material breach of that Binder Agreement for the purposes of Clause 5.3(b), provided that each Non-material Breach subject to the applicable JRF Notification is already a Referred Non-material Breach.

5.6 If a JRF Notification is issued by the representatives of either Party, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date when such JRF Notification was issued (the “JRF Deadline”), the Parties shall procure that the Joint Referral Forum shall discuss, and shall use best endeavours to agree:

(a) where Clause 5.3(a) applies, whether it is reasonably practicable to continue the applicable Binder Agreement;

(b) where Clause 5.3(b) applies, upon a course of action to: (i) remedy such breach, if such breach is reasonably capable of remedy; and (ii) irrespective of whether such breach is reasonably capable of remedy, take action to mitigate the likelihood of the occurrence of similar Material Breaches by the applicable subsidiary in the future;

(c) where Clause 5.3(c) applies, upon a course of action to mitigate the likelihood of the occurrence of similar acts of fraud by the applicable subsidiary in the future, save that the Joint Referral Forum shall not be required to agree upon any such course of action in respect of any material act of fraud, and this matter may be treated instead as a Resolution Failure following the JRF Deadline; or

(d) where Clause 5.3(d) applies:

(i) if the applicable subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the applicable Binder Agreement has not yet been materially impacted, upon a course of action designed to ensure that, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable to do so, the applicable subsidiary can continue to perform its obligations under the applicable Binder Agreement as originally contemplated; or

(ii) if the applicable subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the applicable Binder Agreement has already been materially impacted, corresponding amendments or modifications to the applicable subsidiary’s obligations under that Binder Agreement to mitigate the extent of such impact on the other party,

(e) where Clause 5.3(e) applies, whether the relevant member of the MGU Group would suffer a material impact if the applicable Binder Agreement were to continue.

5.7 A Resolution Failure shall occur for the purposes of Clause 24.1(c) if, by the JRF Deadline, the Joint Referral Forum uses best endeavours to:

(a) reach an agreement under Clause 5.6(a), but does not determine that it is reasonably practicable to continue the applicable Binder Agreement;

15

(b) agree upon a course of action under any of Clauses 5.6(b), 5.6(c) or 5.6(d) but fails to reach an agreement; or

(c) agree upon a course of action under Clause 5.6(e), but fails to reach an agreement.

6. Reporting

MGU Holdco shall report to FIHL as set out and according to the timings set out in Schedule 1 (Services) to this Agreement.

7. Group Annual Plan and Group Underwriting Strategy

7.1 The Parties shall agree a Group Annual Plan and a Group Underwriting Strategy at least two (2) months prior to the first commencement date of the corresponding Underwriting Year under the Binder Agreements.

7.2 The Parties shall, within five (5) Business Days of agreeing the Group Annual Plan and the Group Underwriting Strategy for each Subsequent Underwriting Year, provide such documents, or the relevant parts of such documents, to each party to a Binder Agreement, so that they can be reflected in each Subsequent Annual Plan in accordance with Clause 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans).

8. Annual Plan for the First Underwriting Year

Once the Parties have agreed the Group Annual Plan and the Group Underwriting Strategy in respect of the first Underwriting Year of each Binder Agreement, and have provided these documents to the parties to each Binder Agreement, the parties to each Binder Agreement shall agree the Annual Plan in respect of the first Underwriting Year of each Binder Agreement (the “First Annual Plan”), which shall be attached as a schedule to each Binder Agreement and which shall include, at a minimum:

(a) LOB Premium Limits;

(b) the Gross Limit;

(c) LOB Risk Tolerances;

(d) LOB Risk Preferences; and

(e) the minimum economic capital headroom as defined in their economic capital risk appetite at individual Insurance Company level which shall when consolidated with the other Insurance Companies ensure that the Insurance Group will be able to maintain its Minimum BCAR Score and Minimum S&P Surplus,

collectively, the “Underwriting Parameters”.

9. Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans

9.1 Subject to Clause 9.3, the Annual Plan in respect of each Subsequent Underwriting Year (each Annual Plan being a “Subsequent Annual Plan”) shall be negotiated and

16

agreed by the applicable Insurance Company and the corresponding MGU DUA Company at all times in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans).

9.2 The parties to a Binder Agreement shall have due regard to the agreed Group Underwriting Strategy and Group Annual Plan relating to the applicable Underwriting Year and shall support and endeavour to implement the elements of each document that apply to the parties as part of negotiating and agreeing each Annual Plan under the applicable Binder Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the intention is that renegotiation of the Annual Plan shall not result in the reduction of any available capital in the Insurance Group.

9.3 Any Subsequent Annual Plan may be negotiated by the Parties for and on behalf of the parties to the applicable Binder Agreement (and references to the parties to that Binder Agreement in this Clause 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans) shall be interpreted accordingly), provided that the Subsequent Annual Plan shall only come into force if it is reviewed and, if thought fit, actually approved by the corresponding parties to the applicable Binder Agreement at their sole discretion.

9.4 If the Parties negotiate a Subsequent Annual Plan for and on behalf of the parties to any Binder Agreement in accordance in Clause 9.3, and the terms of the Subsequent Annual Plan are rejected by such parties, either wholly or in part, the Parties shall use best endeavours to resolve the issues that the applicable parties to that Binder Agreement have in respect of the Subsequent Annual Plan as soon as reasonably practicable (with such endeavours to include specifying in writing which parts of the proposed Subsequent Annual plan are objectionable, the reasons for such objections, and notifying areas of disagreement to the Joint Referral Forum for potential resolution), so that an updated Subsequent Annual Plan may be agreed and approved by the parties to the applicable Binder Agreement prior to the commencement of the Subsequent Underwriting Year.

9.5 Unless the parties to a Binder Agreement agree otherwise, each MGU DUA Company shall be authorized to underwrite: (i) all Grandfathered Products; and (ii) any new insurance products falling within the LOBs, provided that, in each case, the MGU DUA Company remains within all of the Underwriting Parameters set out in the applicable Annual Plan or otherwise obtains approval in writing from the corresponding Insurance Company to underwrite any business in excess of the Underwriting Parameters pursuant to Clause 9.6.

9.6 Each MGU DUA Company shall be required to obtain approval in writing from the corresponding Insurance Company to underwrite any business in excess of the Underwriting Parameters in any Underwriting Year, with such approval to be initially sought via the Joint Referral Forum.

9.7 As a default position (the “Annual Plan Default Position”), the parties to each Binder Agreement shall renew the Subsequent Annual Plan on the same terms as the Annual Plan for the then current Underwriting Year (the “Current Annual Plan”), which shall also reflect any Mid-Year Changes that the parties to the applicable Binder Agreement may agree during the course of the then current Underwriting Year.

17

9.8 Changes from the Annual Plan Default Position in respect of each Subsequent Underwriting Year shall require the written approval of both the applicable Insurance Company and the corresponding MGU DUA Company.

9.9 If either the Insurance Company or the corresponding MGU DUA Company intends to propose a material change to a Subsequent Annual Plan, such party shall where practicable provide the other party with written notice of such proposed material change at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to the end of the then current Underwriting Year.

9.10 An Insurance Company shall only be permitted to request that a LOB be removed from a Subsequent Annual Plan if the technical ratios in respect of such LOB in each of the three (3) Underwriting Years immediately prior to the then current Underwriting Year are all above the applicable Technical Ratio plus 10% as set out in the applicable Annual Plan for each of the corresponding Underwriting Years.

9.11 If, during any Underwriting Year, an Insurance Company reasonably considers that the Technical Ratio for any LOB has materially deteriorated, then it may notify the MGU DUA Company in writing of such material deterioration and, within ten (10) Business Days from the receipt of such notification, the corresponding MGU DUA Company shall: (1) provide a detailed plan to the Insurance Company, which sets out in sufficient detail to enable the Insurance Company to reasonably understand how the MGU DUA Company shall ensure that the performance of the LOB will fall within the Technical Ratio in the Subsequent Underwriting Year; and (2) have due regard to any representations made by the Insurance Company in respect of such LOB when underwriting that LOB in the Subsequent Underwriting Year.

9.12 If, in three (3) consecutive Underwriting Years, either an Insurance Company or a MGU DUA Company requests the same change (or materially the same change) to the Subsequent Annual Plan (an “Annual Plan Change Request”) as part of the parties’ annual negotiations, and the other party rejects the Annual Plan Change Request in each of these Underwriting Years (the third of such rejections being a “Deadlock”), the parties shall refer the Deadlock to the Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure in order to determine whether such change shall be reflected in the Subsequent Annual Plan.

9.13 The Subsequent Annual Plan shall be amended immediately if the matter has been referred to the Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure in Clause 9.12 and it has been determined pursuant to the Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure that such change shall be reflected in the Subsequent Annual Plan.

9.14 Each Annual Plan will be prepared on a Gross / Net Basis and shall be consistent with the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy (which will also be set out in each Annual Plan).

9.15 Each Insurance Company may unilaterally make changes to either the First Annual Plan, or to a Subsequent Annual Plan without requiring the consent of the corresponding MGU DUA Company (provided however that the MGU DUA Company shall be notified, and given the opportunity to discuss and comment on such change, as soon as possible in advance) if, and to the extent that, any such changes are reasonably necessary to ensure that the applicable Annual Plan complies with Applicable Law and changes in Rating Agency methodologies.

18

9.16 If there is any inconsistency between any agreed changes to a Subsequent Annual Plan and any unchanged parts of the Annual Plan relating to the prior Underwriting Year, the agreed changes to the Subsequent Annual Plan that relate to the following Underwriting Year shall take precedence over any parts of the Annual Plan that are unchanged from the prior Underwriting Year to the extent of such inconsistency.

10. Mid-Year Change Procedure

10.1 The parties to each Binder Agreement shall be subject to the following procedure in respect of any material change or Mid-Year Re-Allocation to the Annual Plan that is intended to be made outside of the procedure set out in Clause 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans) above (the “Mid-Year Change Procedure”):

(a) if either party to the applicable Binder Agreement (a “Requesting Party”) wishes to request a material change or Mid-Year Re-Allocation (a “MYA Request”) to the Annual Plan, the Requesting Party shall send a written notice (a “MYA Request Notice”) to the other party (the “Requested Party”) as soon as reasonably practicable. The MYA Request Notice shall set out in reasonable detail a description of the requested material change or Mid-Year Re-Allocation and an explanation of such changes. The parties acknowledge that the intention is that renegotiation of the Annual Plan shall not result in the reduction of any available capital in the Insurance Group.

Initial Discussions

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days of the Requested Party receiving the MYA Request Notice, the parties shall refer the MYA Request in writing to the Joint Referral Forum (“Joint Referral Forum Referral”) along with a copy of the MYA Request Notice.

(c) The Joint Referral Forum shall attempt in good faith to agree such MYA Request by negotiation and consultation between themselves for and on behalf of the parties. If the Joint Referral Forum reaches an agreement that such MYA Request shall be accepted, the Joint Referral Forum may bind the parties in respect of the MYA Request, such that the Annual Plan shall be amended accordingly with immediate effect from the date that the parties are notified of the Joint Referral Forum’s decision.

(d) If the Joint Referral Forum has not reached an agreement as to whether the MYA Request should be implemented into the Annual Plan within thirty (30) Business Days of receiving the Joint Referral Forum Referral, the matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officers (“Chief Executives”) of each of the parties that are the subject of this MYA Request (the date of such referral being communicated shall be referred to as the “Chief Executive Referral Date”).

Referral to Chief Executives

(e) The relevant Chief Executives shall meet within ten (10) Business Days of the Chief Executive Referral Date at a mutually acceptable time and place (or via

19

teleconference) to attempt to agree as to whether the MYA Request should be implemented into the Annual Plan (assuming that such request has not been resolved earlier).

(f) If the relevant Chief Executives reach an agreement that such MYA Request shall be accepted, the Chief Executives may bind the parties in respect of the MYA Request, such that the Annual Plan shall be amended accordingly with immediate effect from the date of such agreement.

(g) The negotiations between the Chief Executives set out in Clause 10.1(d) shall be treated as being without prejudice.

Referral to Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure

(h) If the Chief Executives are not able to reach an agreement as to whether the MYA Request should be implemented into the Annual Plan within twenty (20) Business Days of the commencement of such negotiations, either Party may refer the matter to mediation (and subsequently arbitration) pursuant to the Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure.

10.2 Either party to a Binder Agreement may refer a proposed non-material change to the Binder Agreement (including a non-material Mid-Year Re-Allocation) to the Joint Referral Forum to be discussed and, if thought fit, agreed between the appropriate representatives of the Joint Referral Forum. Any decision reached by the Joint Referral Forum shall be binding on the parties to that Binder Agreement, such that the Annual Plan shall be amended accordingly with immediate effect from the date that the parties are notified of the Joint Referral Forum’s decision.

11. Authorisation by Regulatory Authorities

11.1 MGU Holdco shall, and shall procure that each MGU DUA Company shall, ensure that, at all times, it is sufficiently authorised by the relevant Regulatory Authorities to carry out all of its obligations set out, or envisaged, in this Agreement or the applicable Binder Agreement (provided that each Party shall only be required to use reasonable endeavours to effect requested changes to an Annual Plan).

11.2 FIHL shall, and shall procure that each Insurance Company shall, ensure that, at all times, it is sufficiently authorised by the relevant Regulatory Authorities to carry out all of its obligations set out, or envisaged, in this Agreement or the applicable Binder Agreement.

12. Maintenance of Capital and Credit Ratings

12.1 MGU Holdco shall calculate the minimum economic capital required to be held by the Insurance Group to allow the Insurance Group to adhere to Rating Agency Requirements.

12.2 FIHL shall, and shall procure that each Insurance Company shall, prepare and provide to the corresponding MGU DUA Company, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which any Subsequent Annual Plan is agreed, forecast projections incorporating where relevant the Annual Plan that set out the level of capital that the corresponding Insurance Company is required to maintain in order to

20

both meet its obligations under such Subsequent Annual Plan, and to ensure that the Insurance Group can adhere to all Rating Agency Requirements (the “Forecast Projections”) for both the corresponding Subsequent Underwriting Year and for the two following Subsequent Underwriting Years (on the basis that the Subsequent Annual Plan remains the same in such Subsequent Underwriting Years).

12.3 FIHL shall, and shall procure that each Insurance Company shall, take all necessary steps to ensure that, at all times during the term of the applicable Binder Agreement, it maintains sufficient capital (including a sufficient capital buffer) to both meet its obligations under the Current Annual Plan, and to ensure that it adheres to all Rating Agency Requirements (where applicable, in accordance with the figures pertaining to the applicable Underwriting Year set out in the Forecast Projections) and regulatory capital projections. FIHL shall, and shall procure that each Insurance Company shall, ensure that their respective adherence to the obligations contained in this Clause 12 (Maintenance of Capital and Credit Ratings) shall take precedence over any dividend policy that it may have in place.

12.4 The Parties acknowledge that, as at the Commencement Date, FIHL has been placed on Negative Outlook by S&P as a result of the proposed Reorganisation. Accordingly, the Parties agree that Clauses 12.5 to 12.12 (inc.) shall not apply in relation to S&P for the duration of this current rating Negative Outlook, and shall only apply in relation to S&P to any further Negative Outlooks by S&P that may separately occur at any point during the term of this Agreement.

12.5 Either Party shall notify the other Party as soon as it becomes aware that FIHL either has ceased, or there is a material risk of FIHL ceasing, to continue to adhere to the Rating Agency Requirements (the notification being a “Ratings Downgrade Notification”, a potential downgrade being a “Negative Outlook” and an actual downgrade being a “Ratings Downgrade”). In the event of a Ratings Downgrade Notification, the Parties shall perform the following acts:

(a) the Parties shall refer the matter to the Joint Referral Forum within two (2) Business Days from the date of the Ratings Downgrade Notification. The Joint Referral Forum shall, within five (5) Business Days of being notified of the Ratings Downgrade or Negative Outlook (the “Ratings Downgrade Remediation Deadline”), produce a written remediation plan that sets out how FIHL will, with reasonable assistance from the MGU Group (such assistance not extending to capital or other financial support), implement such plan to: (1) mitigate the risk of, or reverse, the Ratings Downgrade or Negative Outlook; and (2) raise additional capital, or reallocate capital between LOBs and Insurance Companies; and

(b) the Parties shall meet regularly to address FIHL’s implementation of the remediation plan and shall act reasonably in managing the impact of the remediation plan on both the Insurance Group and the MGU Group.

12.6 If the Joint Referral Forum, using best endeavours, fails to reach an agreement under Clause 12.5(a) by the Ratings Downgrade Remediation Deadline, as soon as reasonably practicable following such failure, the Parties shall refer the matter to mediation (and subsequently arbitration) pursuant to the Non-Calculations Dispute Resolution Procedure.

21

12.7 Subject to Clause 12.8, if a Ratings Downgrade Notification relates to a Negative Outlook, in the six (6) calendar months immediately following the date of the Ratings Downgrade Notification (the “Initial Negative Outlook Period”), the following provisions shall apply:

(a) MGU Holdco shall promptly notify FIHL if a customer (or broker on its behalf) either: (i) wishes to withdraw its existing business from the relevant member of the Insurance Group during the applicable term; or (ii) is unwilling to place new (re)insurance business with the relevant member of the Insurance Group, in each case due to the Negative Outlook, and which has requested that a MGU DUA Company places its business with a third party capital provider (a “Requesting Customer”). In such circumstances, the applicable MGU DUA Company may place such business with one or more third party capital providers (provided the Negative Outlook has not been reversed before that time); and

(b) Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) shall be suspended in respect of any existing or new business that the MGU DUA Company has been requested to place with a third party capital provider by a Requesting Customer under Clause 12.7(a).

12.8 Clause 12.7 shall cease to apply upon the first of any of the following events to occur:

(a) FIHL reverses the Negative Outlook;

(b) the Initial Negative Outlook Period expires, at which point Clause 12.9 shall apply; or

(c) FIHL undergoes a Ratings Downgrade, at which point Clause 12.11 shall apply.

12.9 Subject to Clause 12.10, if a Ratings Downgrade Notification relates to a Negative Outlook, and such Negative Outlook subsists beyond the expiry of the Initial Negative Outlook Period, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) MGU Holdco shall continue to promptly notify FIHL of any Requesting Customers, and each applicable MGU DUA Company may place such existing or new business with one or more third party capital providers (provided the Negative Outlook has not been reversed by that time); and

(b) Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) shall be suspended in respect of any such existing or new business.

12.10 Clause 12.9 shall cease to apply upon the first of any of the following events to occur:

(a) FIHL reverses the Negative Outlook; or

(b) FIHL undergoes a Ratings Downgrade, at which point Clause 12.11 shall apply.

22

12.11 Subject to Clause 12.12, in the event of a Ratings Downgrade, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) the MGU Group may immediately: (i) subject to prior written notice to FIHL, withdraw any existing business from the relevant member of the Insurance Group (irrespective of whether such business is transferred during the term of the applicable product or at renewal) with one or more third party capital providers and (ii) place any new business with one or more third party capital providers; and

(b) Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) shall be suspended in respect of any such existing or new business.

12.12 Clause 12.11 shall cease to apply if FIHL reverses the Ratings Downgrade.

13. Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal

13.1 During the term of the applicable Binder Agreement, each Insurance Company shall, with the exception of the current capital arrangements that they have with the third party MGUs listed at Schedule 9 (Existing Third Party MGU Arrangements), and subject to Clause 12 (Maintenance of Capital and Credit Ratings), secure its respective business exclusively from the corresponding MGU DUA Company, and each MGU DUA Company shall perform the Services exclusively for the corresponding Insurance Company, save where one of the ‘Right of First Offer’ (“ROFO”) or ‘Right of First Refusal’ (“ROFR”) processes set out in this Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) applies.

13.2 If either the Insurance Company or the corresponding MGU DUA Company (the “Rejecting Party”) rejects the other party’s proposal (the “Rejection” and the “Rejected Business”) made pursuant to either a ROFO or ROFR process set out in this Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal), the Rejecting Party shall not have the right to later request the opportunity to underwrite or provide capacity for (as applicable) the Rejected Business whilst the Rejected Business is continuing to be underwritten by, or continues to have capacity provided by (as applicable), the third party insurer or intermediary that agreed to accept the Rejected Business most immediately following the Rejection and for the avoidance of doubt this provision applies to an MGU DUA Company directly originating business to a third party insurer and does not apply to any outwards reinsurance placement to a third party reinsurer pursuant to Clause 18 (Outwards Reinsurance) below.

13.3 Either party to a Binder Agreement that initiates a ROFO or ROFR process set out in this Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) shall notify the other party of its ROFO or ROFR (as applicable) in a way that is sufficiently clear to enable the other party to reasonably understand its terms.

13.4 Additional Capital

(a) MGU ROFO

(i) If an Insurance Company has capital beyond the business that is intended to be procured by the corresponding MGU DUA Company

23

under the Current Annual Plan (including any excess capital that results from removal of a LOB pursuant to Clause 9.10 or from an adjustment to the Annual Plan pursuant to Clauses 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans) or 10 (Mid-Year Change Procedure)), the Insurance Company shall notify the MGU DUA Company of its ROFO in respect of such additional capital (to the extent the additional capital has not been, or is not intended to be, returned to shareholders) and the parties shall adhere to the following ROFO process:

(A) within 30 calendar days of being notified of its ROFO, the MGU DUA Company shall prepare and provide to the Insurance Company a business plan setting out how it would use the additional capital. Upon receipt of the business plan, the Insurance Company shall have the option (acting reasonably) either (i) to accept the corresponding MGU DUA Company’s proposal; or (ii) to decline such proposal and determine whether to invite offers from third party MGUs in respect of such capital;

(B) where the Insurance Company has declined the MGU DUA Company’s proposal under Clause 13.4(a)(i)(A), and has invited offers from third party MGUs in respect of the additional capital, within thirty (30) calendar days of accepting any such offer from a third party MGU, the Insurance Company shall: (1) present a business plan to the corresponding MGU DUA Company containing sufficient detail to enable the MGU DUA Company to reasonably understand the third party MGU’s business proposal; (2) engage in good faith with the MGU DUA Company to reduce or eliminate any conflicts of interest or other negative consequences on the business that the MGU DUA Company procures for the Insurance Company; and (3) use best endeavours to agree the format and frequency of any reports in respect of such business that the Insurance Company shall provide to the MGU DUA Company acknowledging that any reporting will be subject to third party confidentiality obligations and shall be kept to the minimum level to allow necessary coordination between the Insurance Group and the MGU Group.

(b) Insurance ROFR

(i) A MGU DUA Company shall not effect, or perform any task in relation to, an agreement with any third party capital provider described in Clause 13.4(b)(ii) unless: (1) it has notified the Insurance Company of its ROFR; (2) the parties have followed the ROFR process set out in this Clause 13.4(b); and (3) the Insurance Company has not accepted, or has been deemed not to have accepted, the terms of such ROFR pursuant to the process set out in this Clause 13.4(b).

24

(ii) Subject to Clause 13.4(b)(i), if a MGU DUA Company reasonably believes that it can source additional business beyond the business that it procures for the corresponding Insurance Company under the Current Annual Plan, such MGU DUA Company may immediately begin to source capital from third party capital providers.

(iii) The ROFR process corresponding to this Clause 13.4(b) shall be as follows:

(A) if the corresponding Insurance Company has sufficient capital to accept the terms of the ROFR, within seven (7) Business Days of receiving the ROFR notification from the MGU DUA Company, it shall provide the MGU DUA Company with notice clearly indicating its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR, and shall provide confirmation of its acceptance within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter. Such acceptance shall be binding on the parties with immediate effect. If the Insurance Company fails to communicate its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR within the seven (7) Business Day period, or fails provide confirmation of its acceptance within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter, it shall be deemed to have rejected the terms of the ROFR; or

(B) if the corresponding Insurance Company reasonably considers that it does not have sufficient capital to accept the terms of the ROFR, within five (5) Business Days of receiving the ROFR notification from the corresponding MGU DUA Company, it shall provide the MGU DUA Company with notice clearly indicating its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR and requesting additional time to raise or make available the requisite additional capital. Upon the MGU DUA Company’s receipt of such notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a reasonable amount of time (taking into account the ability of the MGU DUA Company to source such additional business) in which the Insurance Company may raise or make available the requisite additional capital.

(iv) If the Insurance Company is able to raise or make available the requisite additional capital within the agreed deadline agreed in Clause 13.4(iii)(B), it shall notify the corresponding MGU DUA Company that it is able to accept the terms of the ROFR and such terms shall become binding upon the parties with immediate effect. If the Insurance Company is not able to raise or make available the requisite additional capital within such deadline, it shall be deemed to have rejected the terms of the ROFR from the expiry of the deadline.

(v) If the Insurance Company is not able to raise or make available the requisite additional capital within the agreed deadline agreed in Clause 13.4(iii)(B), the applicable MGU DUA Company may source capital from third party capital providers.

25

13.5 New Line of Business

(a) MGU ROFO

(i) If Insurance Company has business appetite for a new LOB that is not currently procured by the corresponding MGU DUA Company under the Current Annual Plan, the Insurance Company shall notify the MGU DUA Company of its ROFO in respect of such new LOB.

(ii) Subject to Clause 13.6, within thirty (30) calendar days of being notified of its ROFO, the MGU DUA Company shall prepare and provide to the Insurance Company a business plan setting out how it intends to procure business in respect of this additional LOB. Upon receipt of the business plan, the Insurance Company shall have the option (acting reasonably) to either accept the corresponding MGU DUA Company’s proposal, or to decline such proposal and determine, in its sole discretion, whether to invite offers from third party MGUs in respect of such LOB.

(iii) Where the Insurance Company has declined the MGU DUA Company’s proposal under Clause 13.5(a)(ii), and has invited offers from third party MGUs in respect of the additional LOB, within thirty (30) calendar days of accepting any such offer from a third party MGU, the Insurance Company shall: (1) present a business plan to the corresponding MGU DUA Company containing sufficient detail to enable the MGU DUA Company to reasonably understand the third party MGU’s business proposal; (2) engage in good faith with the MGU DUA Company to reduce or eliminate any conflicts of interest or other negative consequences on the business that the MGU DUA Company procures for the Insurance Company; and (3) use best endeavours to agree the format and frequency of any reports in respect of such business that the Insurance Company shall provide to the MGU DUA Company acknowledging that any reporting will be subject to third party confidentiality obligations and shall be kept to the minimum level to allow necessary coordination between the Insurance Group and the MGU Group.

(b) Insurance ROFR

(i) A MGU DUA Company shall not effect, or perform any task in relation to, an agreement with any third capital provider described in Clause 13.5(b)(ii) unless: (1) it has notified the Insurance Company of its ROFR, with such notification setting out such additional LOBs and the manner in which the LOBs can be accommodated in the Current Annual Plan; (2) the parties have followed the ROFR process set out in this Clause 13.5(b); and (3) the Insurance Company has not accepted, or has been deemed not to have accepted, the terms of such ROFR pursuant to the process set out in this Clause 13.5(b).

(ii) Subject to Clause 13.5(b)(i), if a MGU DUA Company has appetite to procure business in respect of additional LOBs that are not currently

26

included in the Current Annual Plan, such MGU DUA Company may immediately begin to source capital from third party capital providers in respect of such additional LOBs.

(iii) The ROFR process corresponding to this Clause 13.5(b) shall be as follows:

(A) subject to Clause 13.6, if the corresponding Insurance Company is able to immediately provide capital in respect of the additional LOBs set out in the ROFR notification, within seven (7) Business Days of receiving the ROFR notification from the MGU DUA Company, it shall provide the MGU DUA Company with notice clearly indicating its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR, and shall provide confirmation of its acceptance within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter. Such acceptance shall be binding on the parties with immediate effect. If the Insurance Company fails to communicate its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR within the seven (7) Business Day period, or fails provide confirmation of its acceptance within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter, it shall be deemed to have rejected the terms of the ROFR; or

(B) if the corresponding Insurance Company reasonably considers that it is not able to accommodate the new LOBs set out in the ROFR notification (under Applicable Law or for any other reason), within five (5) Business Days of receiving the ROFR notification from the corresponding MGU DUA Company, it shall provide the MGU DUA Company with notice clearly indicating its desire to accept the terms of the ROFR and requesting additional time to ensure that it is able to accommodate the additional LOBs set out in the ROFR notification. Upon the MGU DUA Company’s receipt of such notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a reasonable amount of time (taking into account the ability of the MGU DUA Company to source such additional business) to extend beyond the five (5) Business Days period in which the Insurance Company may effect any actions necessary to enable it to accommodate the new LOBs requested in the ROFR notification.

(iv) If the Insurance Company is able to accommodate the new LOBs within the agreed deadline agreed in Clause 13.5(b)(iii)(B), it shall notify the corresponding MGU DUA Company that it is able to accept the terms of the ROFR and such terms shall become binding upon the parties with immediate effect. If the Insurance Company is not able to accommodate the new LOBs within such deadline, it shall be deemed to have rejected the terms of the ROFR from the expiry of the deadline.

(v) If the Insurance Company is not able to raise or make available the requisite additional capital within the agreed deadline agreed in Clause

27

13.5(b)(iii)(B), the applicable MGU DUA Company may source capital from third party capital providers.

13.6 If an Insurance Company or a MGU DUA Company (a “Referring Party”) receives a ROFR or a ROFO (as applicable) in respect of an additional LOB under Clause 13.5, and:

(i) the MGU DUA Company intends to prepare and provide to the corresponding Insurance Company a business plan setting out how it will procure business in respect of the additional LOB under Clause 13.5(a)(ii); or

(ii) the Insurance Company intends to provide the corresponding MGU DUA Company with confirmation of its acceptance of the terms of the ROFR under Clause 13.5(b)(iii)(A);

the timeframes contained within the applicable Clause shall be extended for any additional period that the Referring Party reasonably requires to obtain a non-objection from any relevant Regulatory Authority in respect of the terms of the proposed ROFO or ROFR, provided that:

(1) at all times, the Referring Party acts expeditiously in: (i) notifying the other party in writing that a non-objection is required from the Regulatory Authority; (ii) referring the matter to the Regulatory Authority; and (iii) assisting the Regulatory Authority with any queries that it may have prior to issuing the non-objection; and

(2) the timeframe shall not be extended for any period longer than ninety (90) calendar days under any circumstances, following which date, if either the MGU DUA Company or the Insurance Company (as applicable) has not yet performed the applicable act set out in Clause 13.6 (i) or (ii), such entity shall be taken to have rejected the terms of the ROFO or ROFR (as applicable).

13.7 To the extent that any ROFR or ROFO process set out in this Clause 13 (Exclusivity and Rights of First Offer / Rights of First Refusal) culminates in a MGU DUA Company being allocated increased or differently distributed capacity, this increase shall be deemed included in the Current Annual Plan, which shall form the revised baseline in setting the Annual Plan baseline for negotiations in Subsequent Underwriting Years in accordance with Clause 9 (Negotiation and Agreement of Subsequent Annual Plans).

13.8 To the extent that a MGU DUA Company procures business for and on behalf of third party capital providers, and accordingly there is a potential for conflicts of interest or other negative consequences on the business of the corresponding Insurance Company, the MGU DUA Company shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurance Company that it has taken steps to reduce or eliminate the potential for such conflicts of interest or other negative consequences to occur.

(a) if the True-Up Amount is less than the aggregate amount of the Commission and Expenses that the Insurance Company has paid during the course of the applicable Quarter, the MGU DUA Company shall reimburse the corresponding Insurance Company for the amount of such excess by the True-Up Payment Deadline; or

(b) if the True-Up Amount is more than the aggregate amount of the Commission and Expenses that the Insurance Company has paid during the course of the applicable Quarter, the Insurance Company shall pay the corresponding MGU DUA Company an additional amount of Commission and Expenses corresponding to the deficit by the True-Up Payment Deadline.

18. Outwards Reinsurance

18.1 In respect of each Underwriting Year, the Parties shall use best endeavours to agree a strategy (the “Outwards Reinsurance Strategy”) that sets out in detail how the Insurance Group will cede insurance and reinsurance risks underwritten by the MGU Group to one or more third party reinsurers, which shall include a plan for Insurance Group underwriting exposure both gross and net of outwards reinsurance (a “Gross / Net Basis”). This calculation shall exclude any outwards reinsurance in respect of any insurance and reinsurance risks that have not been underwritten by the MGU Group Companies.

18.2 Subject to Clause 18.6, and provided that: (i) the Annual Plan is within pre-agreed parameters; and (ii) the reinsurance that MGU Holdco is proposing to obtain for and on behalf of the applicable Insurance Company is consistent with the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy, FIHL delegates authority, and shall procure that each Insurance Company delegates authority, to the MGU DUA Companies to effect the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy in respect of each Underwriting Year by contracting with one or more third party reinsurers for and on behalf of FIHL to cede all or part of any risks that may be insured by the Insurance Group under the Binder Agreements.

18.3 MGU Holdco and, as relevant, the MGU DUA Companies, shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure third party reinsurance cover in respect of each Underwriting Year for and on behalf of the Insurance Group in accordance with the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy.

In the alternative, if the corresponding MGU DUA Company does not consent, then the cost and associated financial effects of the purchase shall be excluded from any commission calculations (ceding commission, profit commission or otherwise) calculated pursuant to Schedule 11 (Commission and Expenses) (“FIHL Procured Outwards Reinsurance”).

18.5 As part of the Annual Plan negotiations between the parties to each applicable Binder Agreement, the Insurance Company and the corresponding MGU DUA Company shall consider and, if applicable, shall agree whether, in addition to any outwards reinsurance that either may be, or has been, obtained by the MGU Group pursuant to the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy, any further outwards reinsurance should be obtained specifically in respect of the risks that parties intend to underwrite in the following Underwriting Year. If the parties to the applicable Binder Agreement reasonably consider that it is, or may be, necessary to obtain such additional outwards reinsurance, the parties shall agree the parameters of such additional outwards

32

reinsurance, which shall be included in the Annual Plan for the forthcoming Underwriting Year.

18.6 The authority that each MGU DUA Company has to procure third party reinsurance cover pursuant to this Clause 18 (Outwards Reinsurance) shall be subject to the requirement that the applicable MGU DUA Company obtains prior approval from the Chief Underwriting Officer of the corresponding Insurance Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

18.7 Each Insurance Company shall procure that its Chief Underwriting Officer shall respond and, if thought fit, approve the third party reinsurance cover proposed by the corresponding MGU DUA Company as soon as reasonably practicable following a reasonable review of the proposed third party reinsurance cover, and shall respond within two (2) Business Days of receiving the proposal from the corresponding MGU DUA Company where the proposed third party reinsurance cover is consistent with the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy.

18.8 The Parties agree:

(a) within thirty (30) calendar days of the expiry of the sixth calendar month of the then current Underwriting Year (or on any other interval the Parties shall agree between them), to review and, if necessary, amend the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy; and

(b) that it may be beneficial to the Insurance Group to obtain any opportunistic reinsurance treaties and / or facultative reinsurance treaties for and on behalf of the Insurance Group that are outside of the parameters of the Outwards Reinsurance Strategy. In such circumstances, the Parties shall discuss the merits of obtaining such additional reinsurance cover and, if FIHL reasonably considers that it would be in the best interests of the Insurance Group to obtain such additional reinsurance cover, it shall delegate authority to MGU Holdco to obtain such additional reinsurance cover on behalf of the Insurance Group.

19. Transformer Deals

Each Insurance Company shall delegate authority to the corresponding MGU DUA Company to act on its behalf in respect of any existing or new reinsurance arrangements with an ISPV. Such delegated authority shall include, but shall not be limited to: (i) renewing existing reinsurance agreements, or entering into new reinsurance agreements, and any necessary derivative agreements, with an ISPV for and on behalf of the Insurance Company (including the performance of any ancillary acts such as instructing outside counsel); (ii) effecting any variations to existing reinsurance arrangements between the applicable Insurance Company and an ISPV that the MGU DUA Company reasonably considers to be necessary for the effective performance of such reinsurance arrangements; and (iii) performing any of the Insurance Company’s obligations in respect of such reinsurance arrangements with an ISPV.

(a) the corresponding Insurance Company has given prior written consent to the applicable MGU DUA Company in respect of such sub-contracting or delegation;

(b) the MGU DUA Company enters into, or has entered into, a written agreement with a third party on terms that enable the MGU DUA Company to procure that the corresponding Insurance Company or any Regulatory Authority are able to exercise the same audit rights in respect of the third party as those contained in the applicable Binder Agreement; and

(c) the MGU DUA Company is able to provide the corresponding Insurance Company with any information that it requests in relation to the performance of the Services by the third party.

20.2 Each MGU DUA Company may sub-contract or delegate the performance of any of the Services to any Pre-Approved Sub-Delegate without requiring the prior permission of the corresponding Insurance Company.

20.3 Each MGU DUA Company shall remain fully responsible to the corresponding Insurance Company for the performance of any Services that it sub-contracts or delegates to any third party.

20.4 Each Insurance Company shall provide such assistance to the corresponding MGU DUA Company as may be reasonably necessary to enable the corresponding MGU DUA Company to renew any agreement that the corresponding MGU DUA Company has with any sub-delegate in respect of whom the Insurance Company has provided consent under Clause 20.1, or in respect of any Pre-Approved Sub-Delegate, in each case provided that the proposed terms of such renewed agreement are materially similar to the then current terms.

20.5 This Clause 20 (Sub-Delegation) shall not affect the MGU DUA Companies’ ability to procure business for and on behalf of the Insurance Companies on the basis of ‘prior submit’ lineslips that are produced by third parties who do not have delegated authority to bind the Insurance Companies (“Broker Facility Business”). Each MGU DUA Company is entitled to procure such business without requiring the prior consent from the corresponding Insurance Company pursuant to this Clause 20 (Sub-Delegation).

20.6 Premiums obtained by the Insurance Companies originating from sub-delegated binding authority agreements that the MGU DUA Companies have entered into with third parties shall be recognised on a ‘look-through’ basis, and shall be treated as having been obtained when each individual risk attaches to the applicable binding authority agreement, as opposed to the inception of the applicable binding authority agreement.

34

Joint Referral Forum

1. The Joint Referral Forum shall not constitute a formal management committee of any of the Parties, or any of the parties to a Binder Agreement.

These issues may be specific to certain entities within the Insurance Group or MGU Group, or they may be group-wide (in which case they will be handled by the members of the Joint Referral Forum appointed by the Parties).

6. If any Insurance Group entity or MGU Group entity replaces any of their representatives to the Joint Referral Forum, the applicable Party shall notify the other Party of such replacement as soon as practicable, and such notification shall be accompanied by an updated version of table set out in paragraph 8 containing the details of the replacement member of the Joint Referral Forum.

7. Once a matter has been notified to the Joint Referral Forum, it shall be resolved and agreed using the following procedure:

7.1 in the first instance, the matter shall be discussed by the relevant executives of each Insurance Group entity and each MGU Group;

7.2 if executives are not able to resolve the matter within twenty (20) Business Days of it being referred to them, the matter shall be escalated to relevant Chief Executives; and

7.3 if the Chief Executives are not able to resolve the matter within twenty (20) Business Days of it being referred to them, the matter shall be referred to the applicable Dispute Resolution Procedure, save that any ‘Initial Discussions’ forming part of the applicable Dispute Resolution Procedure shall not be performed for the purposes of resolving the matter.
