| DOC: May 13, 2015 | ||
| a market value greater than or equal to $1,306,131.60 (the “Collateral,” which is not subject to the percentage share expressed in this Interests and Liabilities Agreement), less unpaid premium (net of brokerage and applicable Federal Excise Tax, if any). It is understood that deposit premium paid in accordance with the Rate and Premium Article shall be deposited into the Trust Account. |
| 2. | The Reinsured agrees that if the Reinsurer makes indemnity payment(s) to the Reinsured under this Contract, the Reinsurer may withdraw Assets from the Trust Account, reducing the market value of Assets in the Trust Account to an amount at least equal to the unused Reinsurance Limit, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. |
| 3. | The Trust Fund may be drawn upon by the Reinsured at any time and the Assets may be used at the Reinsured’s option in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. |
| 4. | Except as provided in the Collateral Release Article, the Reinsured agrees to release the Assets in the Trust Account required under this Article as promptly as provided in the Trust Agreement. |
ARTICLE 26 – COLLATERAL RELEASE, to read as follows:
| 1. | At the expiration or termination of this Contract, if the Trust has not yet been terminated, the Reinsured shall calculate on a monthly basis, how much, if any, of the collateral shall be released from the Trust. |
| 2. | Notwithstanding the aforementioned, at December 31, 2015, the parties agree to consider the release of collateral. The intention is to release collateral for all limits for which there is essentially no possibility of reinstatement premium protection from past or future events before the expiration of this Contract. All collateral securing what the parties agree are unreachable limits will be released within three business days. |
| 3. | Thirty-six months following the expiration of this Contract, the Reinsurer shall have the option to commute this Contract by sending the Reinsured written notice thereof. In such event, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured an amount equal to the reinstatement premium reserves hereunder, as estimated by the Reinsured, which would be recoverable hereunder. Upon the Reinsurer’s payment of such amount, both parties shall be completely released from all liability under this Contract, whether known or unknown. |
ARTICLE 27 – LIMITED RECOURSE AND BERMUDA REGULATIONS, to read as follows:
| 1. | The liability of the Reinsurer for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations, however they may arise, in relation to this Contract (together “Obligations” for purposes of this Article), shall be limited to and payable solely from the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Trust Fund established in accordance with this Contract, and accordingly there shall be no recourse to any other assets of the Blue Water Re Master Fund Ltd., whether or not allocated to any other separate account or the general account of the Blue Water Re Master Fund Ltd. In the event that the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Trust Fund are insufficient to meet all Obligations, any Obligations remaining after the application of such proceeds shall be extinguished, and the Reinsured undertakes in such circumstances to take no further action against the Reinsurer in respect of any such Obligations. In particular, neither the Reinsured nor any party acting on its behalf shall petition or take any steps for the winding up or receivership of the Reinsurer or the Blue Water Re Master Fund Ltd. |
