AGREEMENT DATED 30 June 2011

BETWEEN:

(1)		PLATINUM UNDERWRITERS REINSURANCE, INC. (“Platinum America”);
		AND
(2)		PLATINUM UNDERWRITERS BERMUDA, LTD. (“Platinum Bermuda”);
		AND
(3)		CITIBANK EUROPE PLC (“CEP”) whose offices and registered address are at 0 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, X.X.X.X., Xxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxx

PREAMBLE

Subject to the satisfaction by Platinum America and Platinum Bermuda (each a “Company” and together the “Companies”) of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, CEP agrees to establish letters of credit (each a “Credit” and collectively the “Credits”) on behalf of each Company in favour of beneficiaries located in the United States of America or elsewhere (the “Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries” as relevant). In furtherance of this Agreement, the parties have separately agreed the contractual or security arrangements that will apply in respect of each Company’s obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement.

1.		AGREEMENT
		It is agreed between us in relation to each Credit that:-

1.1 in order to establish a Credit, the Company is required to submit an application form to CEP (the “Application Form”). The Application Form must (a) be in the form set out in Schedule Two or in such other form as CEP is willing to accept (acting reasonably) for this purpose; Application Forms may be sent by letter, facsimile, Citidirect or via any other electronic system(s) or transmission arrangement(s) agreed between the parties; (b) be completed by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company’s banking mandate(s) or other authorities lodged with CEP or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and CEP; and (c) indicate therein the name of the Beneficiary and the amount, currency and term of the Credit required. Upon receipt of an Application Form that satisfies the above criteria, CEP shall, within five Business Days, establish on behalf of the Company an irrevocable clean sight Credit (or such other form of Credit as may be required by the Application Form relating thereto) available, in whole or in part, by the Beneficiary’s sight draft (the Company hereby agreeing that CEP may accept as a valid “sight draft” any written or electronic demand or other request for payment under the Credit, even if such demand or other request is not in the form of a negotiable instrument) on CEP or otherwise as may be required by the terms of the Credit; provided, however, that:

(i) subject to the terms of the committed facility letter dated on or about the date hereof between CEP, Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. and the Companies (the “Facility Letter”), the opening of any Credit hereunder shall, in every instance, be at CEP’s option and nothing herein shall be construed as obliging CEP to open any Credit; and

(ii) prior to the establishment of any Credit or in order to maintain a Credit the Company undertakes to pledge sufficient collateral in accordance with the terms of the pledge agreement dated on or about the date hereof (the “Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and CEP, to ensure that the Company will be in compliance with the Pledge Agreement, in particular Clause 6(h) thereof, once the Credit is established.

			(In relation to any Credit, the bank or other financial institution that issued such Credit shall be referred to as the “Issuing Bank”.)
	1.2		Each Company undertakes to reimburse CEP, on demand, the amount of any and all drawings (including, for the avoidance of doubt, drawings presented electronically) under each Credit established on behalf that Company.

	1.3	(a)	Each Company undertakes to indemnify CEP, on demand, for and against all actions, proceedings, losses, damages, charges, costs, expenses, claims and demands, in all cases documented and reasonable, which CEP may incur, pay or sustain in connection with any Credit established on behalf of that Company howsoever arising (unless resulting from CEP’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct or that of the Issuing Bank).
		(b)	Each Company undertakes to indemnify CEP, on demand, for and against all actions, proceedings, losses, damages, charges, costs, expenses, claims and demands, in all cases documented and reasonable (together referred to as the “Indemnified Losses”), which CEP may incur, pay or sustain in connection with this Agreement, howsoever arising (unless resulting from CEP’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct or that of the Issuing Bank). If in relation to an Indemnified Loss it is possible to determine that one Company was wholly responsible for causing that Indemnified Loss, that Company shall indemnify CEP in full for that Indemnified Loss and that Indemnified Loss shall fall outside the other Company’s indemnity. In all other cases, the Companies shall be jointly and severally liable for the Indemnified Loss.

	1.4		Each Company undertakes to pay CEP, on demand, such fees and/or commissions of such amount(s) and/or at such rate(s) as shall have been advised by CEP in the Fee Letter between the Companies and CEP as payable by such Company in connection with each Credit established on behalf of that Company;
	1.5		Each Company hereby irrevocably authorises CEP to make any payments and comply with any demands which may be claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with any Credit established on behalf of that Company in accordance with the terms thereof and without any reference to, or further authority from, the Company provided that such demands comply, in CEP’s judgment (acting in good faith), with the terms of that Credit. Each Company hereby agrees that it shall not be incumbent upon CEP to enquire or take notice of whether or not any such payments or demands claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with that Credit are properly made (subject to CEP’s obligation to act in good faith in determining whether such demands comply with the terms of that Credit) or whether any dispute exists between the Company and the Beneficiary thereof. Each Company further agrees that any payment CEP makes in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Credit established on behalf of that Company shall (in the absence of CEP’s or the Issuing Bank’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct) be binding upon the Company and shall be accepted by the Company, but only as between the Company and CEP, as conclusive evidence that CEP was liable to make such payment or comply with such demand.
	1.6		Each Credit will be in a form acceptable to the Beneficiary.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

2.1 Each Company represents and warrants to CEP and undertakes that:-

	(i)		it has and will at all times have the necessary power to enable it to enter into and perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by it under this Agreement;
	(ii)		the Agreement constitutes its legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation effective in accordance with its terms subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law); and

- 2 -

(iii) all necessary authorisations to enable or entitle it to enter into this Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect and will remain in such force and effect at all times during the subsistence of this Agreement;

2.2 Each Company represents and warrants to CEP that:-

	(i)		it is not unable to pay its debts as they fall due;
	(ii)		it has not been deemed or declared to be unable to pay its debts under any applicable law;
	(iii)		it has not suspended making payments on any of its debts;
	(iv)		it has not, by reason of actual or anticipated financial difficulties, commenced negotiations with any of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its indebtedness;
	(v)		the value of its assets is not less than its liabilities (taking into account contingent and prospective liabilities);
	(vi)		no moratorium has been declared in respect of any of its indebtedness; and
	(vii)		no analogous or similar event or concept to those set out in this Clause 2.2 has occurred or is the case under the laws of any jurisdiction.

3. EXTENSION/TERMINATION

	3.1	(a)	Any Credit established hereunder shall, if requested by the Company on the relevant Application Form and subject to CEP’s consent, bear a clause to the effect that it will automatically be extended for successive periods of one year (or such other period as may be stated in the relevant Application Form) UNLESS the Beneficiary has received from the Issuing Bank by registered mail (or other appropriate receipted delivery) notification of intention not to renew such Credit at least 30 days (or such other period as may be stated in the relevant Application Form) prior to the end of the original term or, as the case may be, of a period of extension (the “Notice Period”).
		(b)	The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to the Company to send the Beneficiary such notification (and without such notification to the Beneficiary the Credit will be automatically extended as provided above) UNLESS Company shall have sent notification to CEP by registered mail (or other means acceptable to CEP) of its election not to renew such Credit at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the Notice Period.
		(c)	CEP reserves the right, at its sole option and discretion, to give or procure the giving at any time to the Beneficiary of notification of intention not to renew any Credit. If CEP exercises such said right, it will give the Company notice in writing thereof as soon as is reasonably possible.

4.		UCC/ISP
		CEP may, at its sole option, arrange for the issuance of any Credit as being subject to either (i) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision) ICC Publication No. 600 (the “UCP”) or (ii) the International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 — the International Standby Practices 1998 (the “ISP”), (or any subsequent version of either); provided however that CEP may agree such modifications thereof as may be required by any regulatory or other authority having jurisdiction as to the acceptability of the Credit in question.
5.		PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed between CEP and the Companies in writing, the previous agreement(s) (if any) entered into between either Company and CEP (other than those at any time governed by a “Master Agreement — London Market Letter of Credit Scheme” or substantially equivalent agreement) governing Credits established by CEP on that Company’s behalf in favour of Beneficiaries shall, on due execution by the parties of this Agreement, cease to apply to all such Credits, which Credits shall henceforth be governed by this Agreement, save that any such previous agreement which relates to the First Existing Credit (as defined in the Facility Letter) and the Second Existing Credit (as defined in the Facility Letter) or pursuant to which such First Existing Credit or the Second Existing Credit were

- 3 -

issued shall not cease to apply unless and until paragraphs 13.9 and 13.10 of the Facility Letter come into effect as contemplated by paragraph 13.11 of the Facility Letter, whereupon such First Existing Credit or the Second Existing Credit shall henceforth be governed by this Agreement.

5.2 For the avoidance of doubt any letter or letters of credit or similar or equivalent instrument or instruments (the “Existing Credit(s)”) which has or have been established or opened pursuant to the terms of any previous agreement(s) entered into between either Company and Citibank, N.A. governing the Existing Credits (including any security arrangements that apply in respect of any obligation under or pursuant to such previous agreement(s)) (the “Existing Agreement(s)”) shall continue in force until cancelled. The Existing Agreement(s) shall continue to apply to the Existing Credit(s) until all the Existing Credit(s) have been cancelled. Each Company undertakes, on CEP’s request, to take all reasonable steps to procure that any cancelled Existing Credit(s) are destroyed or returned to the Issuing Bank.

6.		CREDIT CHOICE OF LAW
		If, at a Company’s request, a Credit expressly chooses a state or country law other than New York, U.S.A. or English law, or is silent with respect to the UCP, the ISP or a governing law, CEP shall not be liable for any payment, cost, expense or loss resulting from any action or inaction it takes provided such action or inaction is justified in the circumstances under UCP, ISP, New York law, English law or the law governing the Credit.
7.		BRANCHES/CORRESPONDENT BANKS

	7.1		Each Company acknowledges that CEP may carry out any of its obligations or exercise any of its rights under this Agreement through any of its offices or branches, wheresoever situated.
	7.2		Each Company further understands that CEP reserves the right to issue any Credit through any third party correspondent of its choice and/or to have any Credit confirmed by Citibank, N.A., and CEP shall be entitled to do so provided the obligations and liability of the Company are no greater than they would have been if the Credit had not been issued through such third party correspondent or confirmed by Citibank, N.A., save as may otherwise be agreed between the parties from time to time. In such circumstances, CEP will be required to guarantee reimbursement to such correspondent and/or Citibank, N.A. of any payments which such correspondent and/or Citibank, N.A. may make under the Credit in question and such guarantee (howsoever described) shall be treated mutatis mutandis as a Credit for the purpose of this Agreement.

8.		INCREASES ETC/REINSTATEMENTS
		The provisions of the foregoing Clauses shall be equally applicable to any increase, extension, renewal, partial renewal, modification or amendment of, or substitute instrument for, any Credit to which they apply. If for any reason any amount paid under any Credit is repaid, in whole or in part, by the Beneficiary thereof, CEP may, in its sole discretion, treat (or procure the treatment of) such repayment as a reinstatement of an amount (equal to such repayment) under such Credit. The value date CEP applies to any such reinstatement shall not be earlier than the date of such repayment and CEP shall not be liable for losses of any nature which either Company may suffer or incur and/or which may arise from any inadvertent or erroneous drawing except to the extent arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of CEP or the Issuing Bank.

11.1 Without prejudice to any rights of set-off which may be available to CEP as a matter law, contract or otherwise, CEP may set off any obligation of either Company under this Agreement or in respect of any Credit established on behalf of that Company which is due and payable to CEP against any obligation owed by CEP or Citibank, N.A. to that Company (including without limitation in relation to any account held by that Company with CEP), regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, CEP may convert either obligation using CEP’s spot rate of exchange prevailing for the relevant currencies in the London foreign exchange market at or about 11am on the date of conversion for the purpose of the set-off.

11.2 Each Company hereby agrees that Citibank N.A. shall be entitled to rely on and action any credit or debit made by CEP in accordance with Clause 11.1, save that Citibank, N.A. shall not be entitled to exercise the foregoing right of set-off in relation to any account held by a Company with Citibank, N.A. (excluding any account held with Citibank N.A. over which a security interest is granted to CEP).

		This Agreement and all non-contractual obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by English law and, for CEP’s benefit, each Company hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the English Courts in respect of any dispute which may arise from or in connection with this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement may not be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is in writing and signed by CEP and both Companies. The rights of CEP or the Companies may only be waived in writing by CEP or the relevant Company (as applicable). A Company may not assign any of its rights hereunder without CEP’s prior written consent.
