Each Lender shall make funds available in the applicable currency to the Letter of Credit Agent in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (the “Letter of Credit Advance Date”). To the extent that funds are received by the Letter of Credit Agent from the Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Letter of Credit Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit on such date. To the extent that the Letter of Credit Agent has not delivered funds to any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit on behalf of a Lender on the Letter of Credit Advance Date, if funds are received by the Letter of Credit Agent from such Lender: (i) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Letter of Credit Agent shall make such funds available to such beneficiary on the next Business Day; (ii) prior to 2:00 p.m. (London time) on any Business Day after the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Letter of Credit Agent shall make those funds available to such beneficiary on such Business Day; and (iii) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) on any Business Day after the Letter of Credit Advance Date, the Letter of Credit Agent shall make those funds available to such beneficiary on the next Business Day following such Business Day.

21

(ii) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, the Borrower agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Agent for the benefit of the Lenders no later than the time specified in this Agreement.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount, the Borrower shall have a Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount from the Lenders to the extent that they have provided funds with respect to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i). Reimbursement Obligations shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Any payment by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation shall be made to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.4(c).

(c) At any time after the Letter of Credit Agent has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s Letter of Credit Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.4(b), if the Letter of Credit Agent or Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of the related Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Letter of Credit Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(d) If any payment received by the Letter of Credit Agent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (including any payment under Article XI) and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then (x) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (y) each Lender shall pay to the Letter of Credit Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Letter of Credit Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 Eurodollar Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

22

2.5 Procedure for Issuance. (a) Prior to the issuance of each new Letter of Credit and as a condition of such issuance, the Borrower shall deliver to the Letter of Credit Agent a Letter of Credit Application signed by the Borrower, together with such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the proposed form and content of such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Agent. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued no earlier than two (2) Business Days after delivery of the foregoing documents, which delivery may be by the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Agent by telecopy, telex or other electronic means followed by delivery of executed originals within five (5) days thereafter. The documents so delivered shall be in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.1(b), and shall specify therein (a) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (b) the effective date of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, which shall be a Business Day, (c) whether the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Dollars or Pounds and (d) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations which are outstanding and which will be outstanding after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit issuance. The delivery of the foregoing documents and information shall constitute an “Issuance Request” for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.1 and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof have been satisfied, the Letter of Credit Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Agent’s usual and customary business practices. In addition, any amendment of an existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of a new Letter of Credit and shall be subject to the requirements set forth above. The Administrative Agent shall give the Lenders prompt written notice of the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(b) The Letter of Credit Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Letter of Credit on behalf of each Lender. The Letter of Credit Agent shall use the Applicable Percentage of each Lender under each Letter of Credit as its “Commitment”. The Letter of Credit Agent shall not amend any Letter of Credit to change the “Commitment” of a Lender or add or delete a Lender liable thereunder unless such amendment is done in connection with an assignment in accordance with Section 12.3. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Letter of Credit Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Lender with full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the Letter of Credit Agent to issue, execute and deliver, as the case may be, each Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Letter of Credit and to carry out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit. Upon request, each Lender shall execute such powers of attorney or other documents as any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit may reasonably request to evidence the authority of the Letter of Credit Agent to execute and deliver such Letter of Credit and any amendment or other modification thereto on behalf of the Lenders.

23

(c) The Letter of Credit Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit and the documents associated therewith, and the Letter of Credit Agent shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Agent in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Letter of Credit Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X includes the Letter of Credit Agent as with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Agent.

2.6 Nature of the Agent and Lenders’ Obligations. (a) Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Agent shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Letter of Credit Agent nor any of its respective Affiliates shall be liable to for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application.

(b) As between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Agent, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit; provided, however, that the Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Agent and the Letter of Credit Agent may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Letter of Credit Agent nor the Lenders shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required to be satisfied by any Person other than the Letter of Credit Agent in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (v) errors in the interpretation of technical terms, (vi) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit or (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond control of the Letter of Credit Agent or the Lenders.

24

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Letter of Credit Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to the Lenders or any such Person.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing in respect of any Letter of Credit immediately when due, under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (w) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, (x) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any account party may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any account party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (y) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the Letter of Credit Agent has determined in good faith complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect or (z) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof.

2.7 Notification of Issuance Requests. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Letter of Credit Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Issuance Request received by it hereunder.

2.8 Fees.

(a) Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with respect to its Commitment an Unused Fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Unused Fee Rate on the daily unused portion of such Lender’s Commitment from the Closing Date to and including the Letter of Credit Availability Termination Date, calculated with respect to actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year and payable in Dollars on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Letter of Credit Availability Termination Date or, if later, upon receipt of a xxxx from the Administrative Agent. During the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower, declare that the Applicable Unused Fee Rate shall accrue at the Default Rate; provided, that during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the Applicable Unused Fee Rate shall accrue at the Default Rate without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

25

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro-rata account of the Lenders in Dollars a Letter of Credit Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit from and including the date of issuance thereof until the date such Letter of Credit is fully drawn, canceled or expired, in an amount equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the aggregate amount from time to time available to be drawn on such Letter of Credit, calculated with respect to actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year and payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date in each year and upon the expiration, cancellation or utilization in full of such Letter of Credit. During the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower, declare that the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall accrue at the Default Rate; provided, that during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall accrue at the Default Rate without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) Defaulting Lender. If at any time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), (i) any payment of Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit (including through sharing of payments pursuant to Section 10.2, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such payment, be applied first to amounts owed to Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender, as if the amount owed to such Defaulting Lender hereunder in respect of Reimbursement Obligations were zero, and then to amounts owed to such Defaulting Lender; (ii) such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be excluded for purposes of calculating Unused Fees pursuant to Section 2.8(a) in respect of each day on which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fees for any such day and (iii) such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of calculating Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 2.8(b) in respect of each day on which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fees for any such day. Any payment made pursuant to this Section shall be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Unused Fee and Letter of Credit Fee. The provisions of this Section 2.8(c) do not limit, but are in addition to, any other claim or right that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Agent or any other Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender.

2.9 Collateralization Events.

(a) The Borrower agrees that, if at any time as a result of reductions in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise the aggregate balance of the Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations by depositing into a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to the product of one hundred and two percent (102%) of the amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess.

26

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time, after giving effect to the conversion of Pounds into Dollars as set forth in Section 2.2, the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit is greater than the Aggregate Commitment (the “Conversion Differential”), then the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations by depositing into a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to the product of one hundred and two percent (102%) of the Conversion Differential.

(c) If the A.M. Best Rating or the S&P Rating of Navigators falls below “A-” the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations by depositing into a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to the product of one hundred and two percent (102%) of the Letter of Credit Obligations.

(d) If the forecast underwriting losses based on mid-points stated in the Franchise Performance Management Quarterly Monitoring Returns for the Supported Syndicate exceed 20% of capacity for any year supported by a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations by depositing into a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to one hundred and two percent (102%) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(e) In the event that any net unfunded solvency deficit on any open years of account for the Supported Syndicate (as reported in the solvency statements prepared by Lloyd’s) (a “NFS Deficiency”) is not funded directly at Lloyd’s by depositing cash or similar assets into the Supported Syndicate’s personal reserves, promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrower has knowledge of such deficiency, the Borrower shall collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations by depositing, into a Collateral Account, Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to the one hundred and two percent (102%) of the NFS Deficiency after giving effect to any amount funded directly at Lloyd’s as set forth above.

(f) In the event that an Expiry Notice is given with respect to any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, within 5 Business Days after December 31 of the last year of account supported by the such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.2, collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligation by depositing into a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to one hundred and two percent (102%) of the such Letter of Credit.

(g) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall promptly deposit in a Collateral Account Eligible Collateral with a Collateral Value equal to the product of one hundred and two percent (102%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto.

27

2.10 Collateral Account.

(a) The Borrower shall at all times maintain Eligible Collateral in Collateral Accounts with a Collateral Value of not less than the Required Amount. If at any time the Required Amount shall exceed (the amount of such excess, the “Collateral Shortfall”) the Collateral Value for three (3) consecutive Business Days, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower notice, by telephone or in writing, of such Collateral Shortfall and it shall be a Default unless within three (3) Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, no Collateral Shortfall exists as a result of (i) a change in the Collateral Value due to market fluctuations and/or (ii) a deposit by the Borrower of additional Eligible Collateral in a Collateral Account.

(b) Eligible Collateral held in a Collateral Account (other than the UK Collateral Account) shall be invested (i) so long as no Default has occurred, at the direction of the Borrower, provided that all such Eligible Collateral must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and otherwise permitted by this Agreement, and (ii) following the occurrence and continuation of a Default, at the direction of the Administrative Agent. All income from such Eligible Collateral shall be retained in a Collateral Account and added to the Collateral.

(c) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, if at any time the Obligations become due and payable hereunder, the Borrower may request that funds in a Collateral Account be applied to the amount which is due and payable, including with respect to any Reimbursement Obligations and the Administrative Agent shall apply such funds (in the case of the UK Collateral Account) or consent to such release (in the case of any other Collateral Account) provided, in each case, after giving effect to such application the Borrower is in compliance with Section 2.10(a); provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to the Borrower, to apply all or any part of the Eligible Collateral held in a Collateral Account for the amount which is due and payable unless the Borrower shall object in writing and otherwise pay the amount due and payable within such five (5) day period. Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Default, the Administrative Agent may apply (without prior notice to the Borrower) all or any part of the Eligible Collateral held in a Collateral Account pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.4.

(d) So long as no Default or Unmatured Default under Section 7.2 has occurred, at any time the Collateral Value exceeds (the amount of such excess, the “Collateral Excess”) the Required Amount, the Borrower can request to the release of such Collateral Excess and the Administrative Agent shall release such funds from the UK Collateral or consent to such release with respect to any other Collateral Account; provided, however, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to release or consent to any such release and shall have sole control over any such Collateral Excess, including the application of such amount pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.4.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1 Yield Protection. Without prejudice to the generality of Section 3.2, if, on or after the Closing Date, any Change affecting such Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates

(a) subjects any Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its interest in the Letters of Credit,

(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or r any of its Lender Affiliates, or

(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates of making, funding or issuing Letters of Credit or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lender Affiliate in connection with any Letter of Credit, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lender Affiliate to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Letters of Credit issued or participated in or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lender Affiliate of making or maintaining its Commitment or its interest in the Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lender Affiliate in connection with such Commitment or interest in Letters of Credit, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If any Lender determines that any Change affecting such Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of any of its Lender Affiliates, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates could have achieved but for such Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its Lender Affiliates with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender the amount necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender Affiliate for any such reduction suffered. “Change” means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of any of the following: (a) the adoption or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation or treaty, (b) any change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or (c) the making or issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Bank for International Settlements (or any successor or similar authority) or any foreign or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

29

3.3 Taxes.

(a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee hereunder or under any Letter of Credit Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3) such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within thirty (30) days after such payment is made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Facility Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Without duplication of amounts paid by the Borrower under Section 3.3(a) or (b), the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.3) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for any penalties, interest or expenses arising therefrom or imposed with respect thereto to the extent that such penalties, interest, or expenses are attributable to the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to pay over any amounts paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by the Borrower (for Taxes or Other Taxes) to the relevant Governmental Authority within twenty (20) days after receipt of such payment from the Borrower. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.4.

30

(d) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. In addition, each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender will, not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding and information reporting requirements. Each Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(e) Each “Non-U.S. Lender” shall deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Amendment Effective Date any documentation, accurately completed and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party, that may be required in order to allow the requesting party to make a payment under this Agreement or any other Facility Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax otherwise required to be withheld or assessed under FATCA as of the Amendment Effective Date. Thereafter:

(i) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party confirm to that other Party whether it is or is not a FATCA Exempt Party and supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable passthru percentage or other information required under the Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; provided that no Party shall be obliged to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of such Party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality.

(ii) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

31

(iii) If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where a Party determines that providing the other Party with any of the information requested under Section 3.3(e)(i) will or may in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of such Party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality), then (x) if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party and (y) if that Party failed to confirm its applicable passthru percentage then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable passthru percentage is 100%, until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(f) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to paragraph (d) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.3 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under paragraph (d) above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.3(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.3 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or the Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

3.4 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Letter of Credit Agent and the Lenders to issue or increase Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Letter of Credit Agent and the Lenders to issue or increase Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, so long as any Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been canceled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be made upon the request of the Required Lenders), the Borrower shall deposit Collateral as required by Section 2.9(g).

If, within thirty (30) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Letter of Credit Agent and the Lenders to issue and increase Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) may direct the Administrative Agent to rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Facility Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender:

(a) Extend the final maturity of any Obligations or forgive all or any portion of the Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees (including without limitation Letter of Credit Fees) hereunder;

55

(b) Reduce or modify the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;

(c) Reduce the amount of or extend the date for payment of Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.4, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder;

(d) Extend the Letter of Credit Availability Termination Date; permit any Letter of Credit to have an expiry date beyond four years after the Expiry Notice is issued;

(e) Permit any amendment of Section 8.4;

(f) Release any guarantor of any Obligations or, except as provided in the Security Agreement, release any of the Collateral for the Obligations or decrease the amount of Collateral required under Sections 2.9 or 8.1;

(g) Permit any assignment by the Borrower of its Obligations or its rights hereunder; or

(h) Permit any amendment of the Reinsurance Guidelines;

provided, further, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender, amend this Section 8.2. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3(b) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Agent or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Facility Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Facility Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Facility Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

8.4 Application of Funds. After the occurrence of a Default, any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including proceeds of Collateral) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than Reimbursement Obligations, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders (including, without duplication, fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Lender) and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to be held as Collateral for that portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Amounts held as Collateral for the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any Collateral remains after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their Commitment (or, if the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, in proportion to its Commitment immediately prior to such termination) (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Facility Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Facility Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Facility Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Facility Documents or of any such other documents; provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(g) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

62

10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Facility Document with respect to its Commitment, and any Letters of Credit in which it has an interest as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Facility Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents.

10.12 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.

After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents. The resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent shall also constitute a resignation or removal of the Letter of Credit Agent unless the Letter of Credit Agent agrees otherwise.

Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15 Security Trustee. The Security Trustee shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Fixed Charge and the documents associated therewith, and Security Trustee shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Security Trustee in connection with it capacity as Security Trustee as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article X includes the Security Trustee as with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to Security Trustee.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Reimbursement Obligations (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a participation interests in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such participation interests in Letters of Credit. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Commitments. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Facility Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Facility Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding clause (b) of the foregoing sentence, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which issued any Letter of Credit as the Person who has the Commitment hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of the rights to any Letter of Credit agrees by acceptance of such transfer or assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Facility Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Letter of Credit, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the rights to such Letter of Credit, as the case may be.

12.2 Participations.

(a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Commitment of such Lender, any interest of such Lender in any Letters of Credit or any other interest of such Lender under the Facility Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Facility Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its interest in any Letters of Credit issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Facility Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents.

65

(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Facility Documents, except to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver would require the unanimous consent of the Lenders as described in Section 8.2.

(c) Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Facility Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Facility Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3 Assignments.

(a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Facility Documents provided such Purchasers are Lloyd’s Approved Banks. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereto. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such assignment shall (unless it is to a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (a) $5,000,000 or (b) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (calculated as at the date of such assignment).

(b) Effect; Effective Date. A Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in the event it wishes to transfer any of its Commitment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall verify that the beneficiaries of the outstanding Letters of Credit will accept an amendment to or replacement of the outstanding Letters of Credit to reflect such assignment and the change in the “Commitments” as reflected in such outstanding Letters of Credit (a “Transfer Amendment”). The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lender whether such Transfer Amendment is acceptable (the “Advisement Date”) and the Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent of the proposed assignment date (which date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days after the Advisement Date). Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I to Exhibit B (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3(b), (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender or the Purchaser for processing such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall prepare the necessary Transfer Amendments and coordinate with the beneficiaries a date to effectuate such Transfer Amendment. Upon acceptance of the Transfer Amendment by the beneficiaries, such assignment shall become effective. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the participation interests in the Letters of Credit under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Facility Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Facility Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Facility Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and the participation interests in Letters of Credit assigned to such Purchaser.

66

12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Facility Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Facility Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.3(d).

8. INDEMNITY. The Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold the Assignor harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by the Assignor in connection with or arising in any manner from the Assignee’s non-performance of the obligations assumed under this Assignment Agreement.

ADDRESSED TO ACCOUNT PARTY

AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

RE: Navigators Group Inc. and ING Bank N.V., London Branch

I understand that Navigators Corporate Underwriters Ltd and Millennium Underwriting Ltd (the “Corporate Members”) is about to procure the provision to Lloyd’s of acceptable assets to form its Funds at Lloyd’s. The acceptable assets are listed in the First Schedule to this letter. You have asked whether, in the event of monies having to be applied out of the Corporate Members’ Funds at Lloyd’s, the Funds at Lloyd’s of the Corporate Members’ may be drawn down in pre-determined order and proportions as set out in the Second Schedule to this letter.

As you are aware, the Funds at Lloyd’s are held by Lloyd’s in its capacity as trustee under the terms of the Deposit Trust Deed (substantially in the form DTD (CM) Gen 10) and the Security and Trust Deed (substantially in the form STD (CM) Gen 10) and interavailable (I/A) deed held been the members (STD (I/A-CM) (GEN) (10)) entered into by the corporate members’. Any decision to draw down on any Funds at Lloyd’s involves an exercise of discretion in the light of the circumstances prevailing at the relevant time, and thus no binding undertaking can be given now.

However, I can confirm that at the time of considering the drawdown of the Corporate Members’ Funds at Lloyd’s, Lloyd’s would take into account the request order of drawdown set out in this letter and the Second Schedule to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, Lloyd’s shall not be responsible to you or any other person for any losses incurred by you or such other person as a consequence of acting in reliance upon this letter.
