6. DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 The Board upon recommendation of the Manager shall, as soon as practicable and subject to the requirements of the SAC Act, the Companies Act, the Insurance Act and the Bye-Laws, authorize the payment of dividends to the Shareholder out of the Segregated Account from time to time, based on the Program Result or the expiry of the Retrocession Agreement. Upon the recommendation of the Manager, the Board shall not unreasonably withhold the declaration to pay such dividends, it being understood that the dividends and distributions from the Segregated Account to the Shareholder are sole source of working capital for the Shareholder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the SAC Act, a dividend shall not be declared or paid, or a distribution declared or made, in respect of the Preference Shares or other account holdings linked to the Segregated Account unless the necessary approvals have been received from the Bermuda Monetary Authority if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the Segregated Account is not, or would after the payment not be, solvent (in the sense that it is able to pay its liabilities (excluding obligations to account owners of the Segregated Account in that capacity)); or (b) the realisable value of the assets of the Segregated Account would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, dividends or distributions in respect of securities (defined in the SAC Act to include the Preference Shares) linked to the Segregated Account shall be paid or made on or in respect of those securities by reference only to the assets and liabilities of the Segregated Account and not by reference to the general account of Artex SAC or any other segregated account of Artex SAC, and otherwise in accordance with the rights of such securities. The Board shall not unreasonably withhold approval of distributions if the realisable value of the assets of the Segregated Account would not be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts following the payment of the distribution.

6.2 Subject to the SAC Act, the Companies Act, the Insurance Act and the Bye-Laws, the Board (a) shall cause the Preference Shares to be redeemed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event of the termination or commutation of the Retrocession Agreement; and (b) may at any time other than the times specified in subclause (a), in its sole discretion and instead of declaring a dividend, offer to redeem the Preference Shares pro rata to the Shareholder at any price reasonably determined by the Board, consistent with its fiduciary duty to the Shareholder; provided, that, any redemption of the Preference Shares shall only be made at a price agreed with the Shareholder. In addition, reasonably prior to expiry of the Retrocession Agreement or such earlier or later time as the Retrocession Agreement is proposed to be renewed, the Board shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of unencumbered funds, propose to the Shareholder partial (or if all amounts deposited in the Trust Account are to be released as part of such expiry, termination or commutation and such released assets will constitute all assets of the Segregated Account, full) redemption of the Preference Shares. The Shareholder shall have the right to accept such redemption offer and receive the aggregate payment price in cash or may elect to redeem the Preference Shares and reinvest the aggregate payment price in a deemed purchase of newly issued Subsequent Preference Shares under terms and conditions agreed to with Artex SAC at the time of such deemed purchase (a “Reinvestment Election”); provided that such Reinvestment Election shall not be effective (a) if the Retrocession Agreement is not renewed in connection with such expiry, termination or commutation and (b) unless (i) the Shareholder makes a Reinvestment Election or (ii) the Shareholder making Reinvestment Elections subscribes for sufficient Subsequent Preference Shares such that the Segregated Account can satisfy its obligations to post collateral in connection with renewal of the Retrocession Agreement, and if any Reinvestment Election is not effective, each Reinvestment Election shall be deemed to be an election to receive the aggregate purchase price in cash. Neither the Manager, Artex SAC nor the Segregated Account shall renew the Retrocession Agreement in the absence of a valid Reinvestment Election. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the SAC Act, the Preference Shares may not be redeemed if (x) on the date of the redemption, after taking into account the redemption, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Segregated Account is not solvent (in the sense that it is able to pay its liabilities (excluding obligations to account owners of the Segregated Account in that capacity)); or (y) all creditors with claims linked to the Segregated Account on that date have not expressed in writing their concurrence to the redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, the redemption of the Preference Shares shall only be paid from the assets linked to the Segregated Account and not from the assets of the general account of Artex SAC or any other segregated account of Artex SAC and otherwise in accordance with the rights of such securities.

 10

6.3 Any premium (amounts over par value) payable on the redemption must be provided out of the funds of the Segregated Account which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Segregated Account’s share premium or contributed surplus account with respect to the Segregated Account.

7. INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS

7.1 Artex SAC shall not be liable for any damage, loss, costs or expenses whatsoever to or of the Shareholder at any time from any cause whatsoever unless caused by Artex SAC’s own actual breach of this Agreement, negligence, dishonesty, fraud or wilful default or that of any of their directors, officers, employees or agents as the case may be (all such parties, inclusive of Artex SAC, “Indemnified Parties”).

7.2 Subject to clause 7.3, the Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against any liability, actions, proceedings, claims, demands, costs or expenses whatsoever which they or any of them directly incur in consequence of its performance of the functions and services provided for hereunder or resulting from a breach or inaccuracy by the Shareholder of any of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in clause 18.2, except as a result of breach of this Agreement, negligence, dishonesty, fraud or wilful default of an Indemnified Party and this indemnity shall expressly inure to the benefit of any director, officer or employee, existing or future, and to the benefit of any successor of Artex SAC.

7.3 Under no circumstances shall the Shareholder be liable for any exemplary, special, indirect, incidental, punitive, treble or consequential loss or damages (including any actual or prospective loss of revenue or profit).

7.4 The liability of the Shareholder for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations in respect of the Segregated Account’s obligations pursuant to the Retrocession Agreement (together “Obligations” for purposes of this Article), shall be limited to the aggregate Purchase Price paid or payable by the Shareholder in connection with its subscription for the Preference Shares and the Contributed Surplus pursuant to clauses 2.1 and 2.3 hereof and any Subscription Form executed and delivered by the Shareholder, Artex SAC and the Segregated Account (the “Capital”). In the event that the Capital is insufficient to meet all Obligations, any Obligations remaining after the application of such Capital shall be extinguished, and the Company undertakes in such circumstances to take no further action against the Shareholder in respect of any such Obligations.

 11

7.5 Artex SAC and Manager shall procure that any Retrocession Agreement to be entered into by the Segregated Account shall contain provisions to the effect that the liability of the Segregated Account for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations, however they may arise, in relation to the relevant Retrocession Agreement, shall be limited to and payable solely from the proceeds of realization of the assets held as collateral in respect of such Retrocession Agreement and accordingly there shall be no recourse to any other assets of the Segregated Account or any assets of the Shareholder.

8. BOARD ACTIONS

The Shareholder is not in receivership or liquidation and has not taken any steps to enter into voluntary liquidation, and no petition has been presented for its winding up.

(o) The Shareholder understands that the Preference Shares are being sold in a private transaction that is intended and expected to not constitute a public offering and to be exempt from registration under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

(p) The Shareholder is registered in Bermuda and is not acquiring the Preference Shares as a nominee or agent or otherwise for any other person.

(q) The Shareholder is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of Artex SAC and the Segregated Account, having performed its own due diligence investigation. The Shareholder has had access to such information concerning Artex SAC and the Segregated Account and the Preference Shares as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed decision to deal with Artex SAC and the Segregated Account including the purchase of the Preference Shares.

(r) The Shareholder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

 17

(s) The Shareholder has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that the Shareholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of (a) the purchase of the Preference Shares, and (b) the Shareholder’s participation in the Segregated Account and the reinsurance transactions to be conducted through the Segregated Account. With the assistance of the Shareholder’s own professional advisors, to the extent that the Shareholder has deemed appropriate, the Shareholder has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of (x) the purchase of the Preference Shares and (y) the Shareholder’s participation in the Segregated Account and the reinsurance transactions to be conducted through the Segregated Account.

(t) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared and agreed that any provision of this Agreement relating to the segregation of assets or liabilities of the Segregated Account shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the SAC Act, and the parties to this Agreement hereby expressly acknowledge that they may not contract otherwise in this regard.

(u) The Segregated Account agrees to use all reasonable endeavors to ensure compliance at all material times with the provisions of the SAC Act provided that the Parties agree that no transaction or interest in the Segregated Account shall be void or voidable by reason only that at the relevant time the Segregated Account fails to comply with, or is in breach of, any provision of the SAC Act.

(v) Any inadvertent delay, omission or error shall not be held to relieve any party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such delay, omission or error had not been made.

(w) The Shareholder is acquiring the Preference Shares solely for the Shareholder’s own beneficial account, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Preference Shares.

The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Preference Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Preference Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the Shareholder otherwise shall lawfully dispose of the Preference Shares, the Shareholder shall only dispose of the Preference Share (a) in compliance with Rule 144A to parties whom such Purchaser reasonably believe are “qualified institutional buyers” as such term is defined in Rule 144A or in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and (b) to “qualified purchasers” as defined under the Investment Company Act.

 18

(y) The Shareholder understands that Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account may require the Shareholder to provide certification or information acceptable to Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account which is necessary for Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account (i) to prevent withholding or qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or backup withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account receives premium payments or payments on its assets, (ii) to make payments of principal and interest on the Preference Shares without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or backup withholding in any jurisdiction, or (iii) to enable Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account or its agents to satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code) and regulations of the US Treasury Department, any reporting and similar obligations imposed by any other governmental authority and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. The Shareholder agrees to provide any such certification or information that is requested by Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account. If the Shareholder fails to provide any such certification or information that is requested by Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account or if the Shareholder’s ownership of the Preference Shares would cause Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account to be subject to withholding tax, Artex SAC is authorized to withhold amounts otherwise distributable to the Shareholder or to compel the Shareholder to sell the Preference Shares (and all interests therein) to a transferee designated by Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account meeting the requirements set forth herein, and, if the Shareholder does not sell its Preference Shares within 30 business days after notice from Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account (or an agent of Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account), Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account is authorized to sell such Preference Shares on behalf of the Shareholder.

(z) With respect to any period during which the Shareholder owns more than 50% of the Preference Shares or any other interest in the Segregated Account that is treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (by number or value), or is otherwise treated as a member of Artex SAC’s or the Segregated Account’s “expanded affiliated group” (as defined in US Treasury Department’s regulations section 1.1471-5(i)), the Shareholder covenants that any member of the Shareholder’s expanded affiliated group (other than Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account) that is treated as a “foreign financial institution” within the meaning of Section 1471(d)(4) of Code and any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder will be either a “participating FFI” or a “registered deemed-compliant FFI” within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 1.1471-4(e), and the Shareholder will cooperate with Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account to allow Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account to submit any required registration form or other document to the IRS so that Artex SAC acting in respect of the Segregated Account may qualify as a participating FFI.

20. LITIGATION
