2.    Purchase and Sale.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, the number of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter at a purchase price of $161.435 per share (the “Purchase Price”).

Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company further agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 825,000 Additional Securities at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Securities but not payable on such Additional Securities. The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part (provided that the Representatives may not exercise such right more than two times) by giving written notice not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Such exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased. Unless otherwise agreed among the Representatives and the Company, (i) for any such written notice provided before the closing date for the Firm Securities, the purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Securities or later than ten business days after the date of such notice and (ii) for any such written notice provided on or after the closing date for any Firm Securities, the purchase date must be at least two business days after the written notice is given and may not be later than ten business days after the date of such notice. On each day, if any, that Additional Securities are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the number of Additional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Securities.

(b)    The Company hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 45 days after the date of the Final Prospectus (the “Restricted Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) or file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares.

12

The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance by the Company of Common Shares upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof as described in each of the Disclosure Package and Final Prospectus, (C) facilitating the transfer of Common Shares under any trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act in existence on the date hereof or facilitating the establishment of any new trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that (i) any such new plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Shares during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by the Company regarding the establishment of any such new plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Shares may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period or (D) the Common Shares to be sold in the Concurrent Private Placement (as described in the Preliminary Final Prospectus).

3.    Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Firm Securities shall be made on June 5, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. New York Time at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, or at such other place as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Firm Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”).

Delivery of and payment for any Additional Securities shall be made at 9:00 a.m. New York Time at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, or at such other place as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than July 16, 2020, as shall be designated in writing by the Representatives.

Delivery of the Firm Securities and any Additional Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the Purchase Price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Company. Certificates for the Firm Securities and any Additional Securities shall be in definitive form and registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full Business Day prior to the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

13

4.    Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a)    Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed, and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives: (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b); (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective; (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information; (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose; and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b)    If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(c)    If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company will promptly: (1) notify the Representatives of such event; (2) prepare and file with the Commission,

14

subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (3) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d)    As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(e)    The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering.

(f)    The Company will use its best efforts, if necessary, to qualify the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (not to exceed one year from the date hereof), and the Company will pay any fee of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., in connection with its review of the offering; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to file a consent to service of process or to file annual reports or to comply with any other requirements in connection with such qualification deemed by the Company to be unduly burdensome.

(g)    The Company and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agree that they have not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company or such Underwriter with the Commission or retained by the Company or such Underwriter under Rule 433, other than as set forth in Schedule II. Any such free writing prospectus is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

15

(h)    The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(i)    The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any Blue Sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) the registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); (viii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

5.    Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a)    The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice from any governmental authority objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

16

(b)    The Company shall have requested and caused Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited, Bermuda, special Bermuda counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion on matters of Bermuda law, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, to the effect that:

(i)    Each of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that the relevant company has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

(ii)    The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder do not and will not violate the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in Bermuda.

(iii)    The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with the terms thereof.

(iv)    No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, filing with or exemption by any government or public body or authority of Bermuda or any sub-division thereof is required to authorize or is required in connection with (i) the issue of Securities of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, except for the consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (and Regulations made thereunder) which was issued by the Bermuda Monetary Authority on 7 July 2000.

(v)    It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of either this Agreement that it be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, to the extent that any of this Agreement creates a charge over assets of the Company, it may be desirable to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the

17

relevant charge that it be registered in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Companies Act 1981. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge, such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the assets which are the subject of the charge. A registration fee of $665 will be payable in respect of the registration.

While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Bermuda law, a charge includes any interest created in property by way of security (including any mortgage, assignment, pledge, lien or hypothecation). As this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York (the “Foreign Laws”), the question of whether they create such an interest in property would be determined under the Foreign Laws.

(vi)    This Agreement and the issuance of Securities pursuant thereto will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty in Bermuda.

(vii)    Each of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance has all corporate power and authority necessary to conduct the business conducted by the particular entity (without reference to or including any particular subsidiary or other company) and to own, lease and operate its properties as described in the Final Prospectus and in “Item 1 – Business” and “Item 2 – Properties” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(viii)    The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of this Agreement is a valid choice of law and would be recognized and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda. The submission in this Agreement to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Courts, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and State of New York, or any United States Federal or New York State Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, as the case may be (the “Foreign Courts”) is valid and binding upon the Company.

(ix)    Based solely upon a review of copies of (i) the Register of Members of Renaissance Reinsurance, (ii) the Register of Members of DaVinci Reinsurance and (iii) the Register of Members of DaVinci Holdings, each certified by its respective Secretary or Assistant Secretary at a specified date in June 2020, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance have been duly authorized, validly

18

issued, fully paid and are non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof). All of the shares of Renaissance Reinsurance are registered in the name of RenRe Insurance Holdings Ltd. All of the Class A shares of DaVinci Holdings are registered in the name of Renaissance Other Investments Holdings Ltd., and all of the Class A shares of DaVinci Reinsurance are registered in the name of DaVinci Holdings.

(x)    The Common Shares have been duly authorized and (i) based solely upon a review of Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws, each certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Company on a specified date in June 2020, the authorized share capital of the Company is $325,000,000.00 divided into 225,000,000 common shares of par value US$1.00 each and 100,000,000 preference shares of U.S. $1.00 each; and (ii) based solely upon a review of the branch register of members of the Company prepared by Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, there are issued and outstanding 44,033,618 common shares of the Company par value U.S. $1.00 each, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that that no further sums are required to be paid by the holder of such common shares in connection with the issue thereof) and such common shares are not subject to any statutory pre-emptive or similar statutory rights of general application under Bermuda law.

(xi)    When issued and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as such is understood under Bermuda law) and will not be subject to any statutory preemptive or similar statutory rights.

(xii)    Based solely upon a review of a copy of its certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Insurance Act”), Renaissance Reinsurance is duly registered in Bermuda to write general insurance business as a class 4 insurer in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act.

(xiii)    Based solely upon a review of a copy of its certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Insurance Act, DaVinci Reinsurance is duly registered in Bermuda to write general insurance business in Bermuda as a class 4 insurer in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act.

(xiv)    The statements (A) in the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of Our Capital Shares,” “Description of Our Common Shares” (excluding statements under the sub captions “Plan of Distribution”) and “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities under United States Federal Securities Laws”, (B) in the Company’s Annual Report

19

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, under the caption “Business – Regulation – Bermuda Regulation”, and (C) in “Item 15 – Indemnification of Officers and Directors” of the Registration Statement, insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws of Bermuda referred to therein, are accurate and correct in all material respects as at the dates such documents were filed.

(xv)    The courts of Bermuda would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon this Agreement under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment, (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda, (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud, (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda, (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of Bermuda and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of Bermuda.

(xvi)    Based solely upon searches of the Cause Book of the Supreme Court of Bermuda conducted on 7 May 2020 (which would not reveal details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Cause Book at the time of our searches), there are no judgments against any of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings or DaVinci Reinsurance, nor any legal or governmental proceedings pending in Bermuda to which any of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings or DaVinci Reinsurance is subject.

As to matters of fact, such counsel may rely, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Holdings and DaVinci Reinsurance, and public officials. References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

(c)    The Company shall have requested and caused Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, U.S. counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, to the effect that:

(i)    The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; based solely upon such counsel’s review of the list of stop orders contained on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml on June 5, 2020, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and,

20

to the knowledge of such counsel, no proceedings for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act have been instituted or threatened; any required filing, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, of the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); any required filing, pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act, of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement, and any supplements thereto, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433; and the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which in each case we express no opinion or belief) comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder;

(ii)    The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the Company will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(iii)    To such counsel’s knowledge, the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, did not at the time of execution of this Agreement and do not on the date of such opinion, contravene any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any U.S. governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci (assuming compliance by the Underwriters with all applicable securities and Blue Sky laws), and no consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any U.S. governmental body, agency or court is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, except for as may be required under the securities, Blue Sky or insurance laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities (as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) or as may already have been obtained;

(iv)    The statements in (A) the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Taxation” and “Underwriting” (with respect solely to the description of this Agreement contained therein), (B) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

21

2019, under the caption “Business—Regulation—U.S. Regulation,” and (C) Item 15 of the Registration Statement, in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of U.S. legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information required to be shown with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein, in each case, in all material respects (provided, however, that the statements under the caption “Taxation” do not address considerations that depend on circumstances specific to the holders of the Company’s securities);

(v)    Such counsel does not know of (A) any U.S. legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company, any Subsidiary or DaVinci is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus and are not so described or (B) any U.S. statutes or regulations that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus that are not described as required, or any contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed as required;

(vi)    Each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which in each case such counsel need not express any opinion or belief) complied when so filed as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

(vii)    This Agreement, to the extent that execution and delivery thereof are governed by New York law, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company; and

(viii)    Under the laws of the State of New York, the Company has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably submitted, to the jurisdiction of the Specified Courts (as defined in Section 16(b)) and has legally, validly and effectively designated, appointed and empowered an agent for service of process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under the Underwriting Agreement in any of the Specified Courts.

Such counsel shall also state that no facts have come to its attention to cause it to believe that (A) the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which such counsel need not express any belief) on the Effective Date, giving effect to any modifications or supplements to the information contained or incorporated

22

by reference therein pursuant to (1) the Final Prospectus and/or (2) the documents filed subsequent to the applicable Effective Date pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Basic Prospectus, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) the Disclosure Package (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which such counsel need not express any belief) at the Execution Time contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) the Final Prospectus (except for financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and statistical data as to which such counsel need not express any belief) as of its date and on the Closing Date contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of Bermuda law, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited, Bermuda, dated as of the Closing Date, provided that (1) such reliance is expressly authorized by such opinion as delivered to the Representatives and (2) Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying on such opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited, Bermuda.

(h)    Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 5 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(i)    Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act) or any notice given by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(j)    Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(k)    A “Supplemental Listing Application” related to the Shares shall have been submitted to the NYSE, and the NYSE shall have informed the Company that it has completed its review of such submission.

(l)    The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Additional Securities hereunder are subject to the delivery to the Representatives on the applicable Option Closing Date of the following:

(i)    a certificate, dated the Option Closing Date and signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President and the principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller of the Company, confirming that the certificate delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof remains true and correct as of such Option Closing Date;

25

(ii)    an opinion on matters of Bermuda law of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited, Bermuda, special Bermuda counsel for the Company, dated the Option Closing Date, relating to the Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section 5(b) hereof;

(iii)    an opinion or opinions of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, U.S. counsel for the Company, dated the Option Closing Date, relating to the Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion(s) required by Section 5(c) hereof;

(iv)    an opinion or opinions of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Option Closing Date, relating to the Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion(s) required by Section 5(d) hereof;

(v)    a letter dated the Option Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, from Ernst & Young Ltd., independent public accountants, substantially in the same form and substance as the letter furnished to the Representatives pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof; provided that the letter delivered on the Option Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than two business days prior to such Option Closing Date; and

(vi)    such other documents as the Representatives may reasonably request with respect to the good standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date and other matters related to the issuance of such Additional Securities.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 5 shall be delivered at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, or at such other place as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon.

6.    Reimbursement of the Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

7.    Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in paragraph (b) below. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b)    Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of the Company and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives

27

specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. The Company acknowledges that (i) the names of the several underwriters on the front and back cover pages of the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) the statements set forth under the heading “Underwriting”: (a) the third paragraph and (b) the tenth paragraph constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (ii) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company and all persons, if any, who control the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

28

(d)    In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, each indemnifying party under such paragraph severally agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, each indemnifying party severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8.    Default by an Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be

29

purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Firm Securities or the Additional Securities, as the case may be, which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purpose of such remaining Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 8, the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

9.    Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Securities or any Additional Securities, as the case may be, if at any time prior to such time there shall have been (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or NASDAQ (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in any of the Company’s securities on the NYSE, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis, if the effect of such event specified in clause (iv) or this clause (v), in the sole judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

10.    Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

30

11.    Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)    For purposes of this Section 11, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

13.    Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

31

14.    No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which they may be acting, on the other, (b) each of the Underwriters is acting as principal of the Company and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

15.    Trial By Jury. The Company and the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

16.    Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)    This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

(b)    With respect to any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Courts in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York (the “Specified Courts”). In addition, the Company irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c)    For purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, the Company agrees to maintain an agent for service of process in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, at all times while any Securities shall be outstanding, and for that purpose the Company hereby irrevocably designates Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6099, c/o Mr. Sean M. Ewen, Esq., as its agent to receive on its behalf service of process (with a copy of all such service of process to be delivered to RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., Renaissance House, 12 Crow Lane, Pembroke HM 19, Bermuda, Attention: General Counsel) brought against it with respect to any such proceeding in any such court in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Company to be effective and binding service on it in every respect whether or not the Company shall then be doing or shall have at any time done business in New York. In the event that such agent for service of process resigns or ceases to serve as the agent of the Company, the Company agrees to give notice as provided in Section 12 herein of the name and address of any new agent for service of process with respect to it appointed hereunder.

32

(d)    If, despite the foregoing, in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the aforesaid courts, there is for any reason no such agent for service of process of the Company available to be served, then to the extent that service of process by mail shall then be permitted by applicable law, the Company further irrevocably consents to the service of process on it in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court by the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address given in or pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

(e)    Nothing herein contained shall preclude any party from effecting service of process in any lawful manner or from bringing any suit, action or proceeding in respect of this Agreement in any other state, country or place.

17.    Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company with respect to any sum due from it to the Underwriters or any person controlling the Underwriters shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by the Underwriters or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that the Underwriters or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Underwriters or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder, the Underwriters or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters or controlling person hereunder.

18.    Taxes. If any sum payable by the Company under this Agreement is subject to tax in the hands of the Underwriters or taken into account as a receipt in computing the taxable income of the Underwriters (excluding net income taxes on underwriting commissions payable hereunder), the sum payable to the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be increased to such sum as will ensure that the Underwriters shall be left with the sum they would have had in the absence of such tax. The preceding sentence does not include taxes imposed as a result of a failure by the Underwriters to comply with tax certifications reasonably requested by the Company and which the Underwriters were legally able to provide.

19.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same

33

agreement. Delivery of this Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) or other transmission method, and the parties hereto agree that any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

                    , 2020

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC

1585 Broadway

New York, New York 10036

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC

200 West Street

New York, New York 10282

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Representatives”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), as representatives of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Company of 5,500,000 shares (the “Securities”) of its common shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 45 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Dear Sirs,

We have acted as special Bermuda legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-231720) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (the “Registration Statement” which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated 2 June 2020 (the “Prospectus”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration and sale under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 5,500,000 common shares, par value US$1.00 each (the “Shares”) together with an additional 825,000 common shares, par value US$1.00 each subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters by the Company (collectively, the “Common Shares”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. We have also reviewed the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company, each certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Company on 5 June 2020, certified extracts of resolutions passed by the board of directors of the Company on 14-15 May 2019 and 19 May 2020 and of the Special Offerings Committee of the Company on 1 June 2020 (collectively, the “Resolutions”), a certificate of an authorised officer dated 5 June 2020, a certified copy of the consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (and Regulations made thereunder) issued by the Bermuda Monetary Authority on 7 July 2000 in respect of the Company (the “Consent”) and such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken, (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of that draft, and where a

number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention, (c) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Registration Statement and other documents reviewed by us, (d) that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings, or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended, (e) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein, (f) that upon the issue of any Common Shares the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof and (g) that the Consent will not have been revoked or amended at the time of issuance of the Common Shares.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda. This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Prospectus and the offering of the Common Shares by the Company and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to the references to our firm under the caption “Legal Opinions” in the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm in the Prospectus Supplement forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

4.2    Indemnification by the Purchaser. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company and its officers, directors, managers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them

11

or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, incurred by or asserted against such Company Related Parties as a result of or arising out of (i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Purchaser contained in Section 2.2 to be true and correct or (ii) the breach of any of the covenants of the Purchaser contained herein; provided that in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 4.6; provided, further that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Company Related Party shall have given written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made.

4.3    Indemnification Procedure.

(a)    A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification that it may claim in accordance with this Article IV unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

(b)    Promptly after any Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third Party Claim but failure or delay to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of, and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to assume and control the defense or settle such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) business days after notice of such claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all reasonable respects in the defense thereof and/or the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and any negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within fifteen (15) business days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third Party Claim, failed

12

to (y) assume the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim and (z) notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption, or (B) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then, in each case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one (1) separate counsel and, upon prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party, to assume such settlement or legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the Indemnified Party.

4.4    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.1(iv) or (v) is legally unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount the Purchaser will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 4.4 will be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds received by the Purchaser sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

4.5    Tax Matters. All indemnification payments under this Article IV shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

4.6    Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive for twelve (12) months following the Closing. All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance.

4.7    Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party in excess of the Purchase Price, and neither party shall be liable for any exemplary or punitive damages or any other damages to the extent not reasonably foreseeable arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (in each case, unless any such damages are awarded pursuant to a Third Party Claim).

5.4    Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

No later than the date that is ten (10) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, or sixty (60) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement other than an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement (or a post-effective amendment to the previously filed Shelf Registration Statement) covering the resale by the Investors of all Registrable Securities held by the Investors. If permitted under the Securities Act, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Shelf Registration shall provide for the resale of such Registrable Securities from time to time by and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to the Investors (including, without limitation, an underwritten

-1-

offering, a direct sale to purchasers, a sale to or through brokers, dealers or agents, a sale over the internet, block trades, derivative transactions with third parties, sales in connection with short sales and other hedging transactions). The Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of Law with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the methods of disposition of which the Stockholder and the other Investors have notified the Company prior to the filing by the Company of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement.

(b)    Effectiveness. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1(a) to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof but in no event later than the Restricted Period Termination Date and (ii) keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement, including by filing successive replacement or renewal Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of such Shelf Registration Statement, until the earlier of (a) such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining and (b) the third anniversary of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c)    Additional Selling Shareholders. At any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if the Stockholder or any other Investor requests that the Stockholder or any other Investor be added as a selling shareholder in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Investor.

(d)    Right to Effect Shelf Take-Down. The Stockholder and each other Investor shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, subject to Section 2.1, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Take-Down”).

(e)    Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. The Stockholder or any other Investor intending to effect a Shelf Take-Down shall be entitled to request, by written notice to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), that the Shelf Take-Down be an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). The Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Stockholder and/or other Investor(s) pursuant to the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. The Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration or underwritten offering requested in accordance with this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to facilitate an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down unless the aggregate gross proceeds from such offering are reasonably expected to be at least the lesser of (x) one-hundred million dollars ($100 million) and (y) the aggregate gross proceeds (not less than $50 million) reasonably expected from an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down of the total number of Registrable Securities then held by the Stockholder or any other Investors. The Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs under this Agreement.

(f)    Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any such underwritten offering, the Stockholder or any other Investor requesting such underwritten offering shall have the right to select the investment banking firm(s) and manager(s) to administer such underwritten offering, subject to the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For such underwritten offering, the Company will have the right to appoint one co-lead manager that shall not serve in the capacity as a bookrunning underwriter.

(g)    Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. If the Stockholder or any other Investor desires to initiate an offering or sale of all or part of the Stockholder’s or any other Investor’s Registrable Securities that does not constitute an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), the Stockholder or such other Investor shall so indicate in a written notice (a “Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) delivered to the Company no later than three (3) Business Days (or in the event any amendment or supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement is necessary, no later than ten (10) Business Days) prior to the expected date of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of one or more share certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and, to the extent necessary, the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its applicable Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable after receipt of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice.

1.2    Demand Registrations.

(a)    Right to Demand Registrations. At any time following the Restricted Period Termination Date, if a Shelf Registration Statement is not available for an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Stockholder or any other Investor may, by providing written notice to the Company, request to sell all or a portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement separate from a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Demand Registration (a “Demand Registration Request”) shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Stockholder and any other Investors pursuant to the Demand Registration and the intended method of distribution thereof, including whether it is intended to be an underwritten offering. As promptly as practicable and no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Demand Registration Request, the Company shall register all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Demand Registration Request. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) need not be declared effective prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date. A Demand Registration shall be effected by way of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement to the extent the Company is permitted to use such form at such time, and may be effected through an existing registration statement that is already effective under the Securities Act, or through a post-effective amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or other registration statement.

-3-

(b)    Number of Demand Registrations. The Stockholder and the other Investors shall be collectively entitled to request up to a total of two (2) Demand Registrations (each of which shall, if it is an underwritten registration, reduce the number of available Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs pursuant to Section 1.1(e), and, vice versa, each Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall reduce the number of available Demand Registrations that are underwritten registrations); provided, however, that a registration shall not count as a Demand Registration for this purpose unless and until the Stockholder and the other Investors are able to register and sell at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Registration unless the aggregate gross proceeds from such offering are reasonably expected to be at least the lesser of (x) one-hundred million dollars ($100 million) and (y) the aggregate gross proceeds (not less than $50 million) reasonably expected from an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down of the total number of Registrable Securities then held by the Stockholder or any other Investors.

(c)    Withdrawal. An Investor may, by written notice to the Company, withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement. Upon receipt of notices from all applicable Investors to such effect, the Company shall cease all efforts to seek effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, unless the Company intends to effect a primary offering of securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Any withdrawn Registration Statement shall not count against the limitation on the number of such Investor’s Demand Registrations set forth in Section (b).

(d)    Selection of Underwriters. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the Stockholder or any other Investor requesting such underwritten offering shall have the right to select the investment banking firm(s) and manager(s) to administer such underwritten offering, subject to the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For such underwritten offering, the Company will have the right to appoint one co-lead manager that shall not serve in the capacity as a bookrunning underwriter.

1.3    Inclusion of Other Securities; Priority. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Investors participating in such Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If a Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters of such offering advise the Company and the Investors in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Equity Securities proposed to be included in such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, including all Registrable Securities and all other Equity Securities proposed to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of Equity Securities that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down: (i) first, the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by Investors (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) in such offering; and (ii) second, any Equity Securities proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including Equity Securities to be sold for the account of the Company and/or any other holders of Equity Securities), allocated, in the case of

-4-

this clause (ii), among such Persons in such manner as the Company may determine. If more than one Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) is participating in such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and the managing underwriters of such offering determine that a limited number of Registrable Securities may be included in such offering without reasonably being expected to adversely affect the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the participating Investors (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities initially requested to be sold by each such Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) in such offering.

1.4    Restrictions on Registration.

(a)    Right to Defer or Suspend Registration. The Company may, at its option, (x) defer, suspend or delay any Demand Registration or (y) require the Stockholder and the other Investors to suspend any offerings of Registrable Securities (including any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) pursuant to a Registration Statement if the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with external legal counsel) that proceeding with the filing, effectiveness or use of any Registration Statement would (A) require the Company to publicly disclose material non-public information in such Registration Statement so that it would not be materially misleading, the disclosure of which (i) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement and (ii) would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, have a material adverse effect on the Company or (B) be expected to materially impede, delay or interfere with, or require premature disclosure of, any pending negotiation or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. In the case of clause (A), upon disclosure of such material non-public information, the Company shall (x) notify the Stockholder and the other Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement; (y) terminate any deferment or suspension it has put into effect; and (z) take such actions necessary to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as required or contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement so that the Registration Statement and any prospectus forming a part thereof will not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(b)    Limitation on Deferrals and Suspensions. The Company shall not be permitted to defer registration or require the Stockholder and the other Investors to suspend an offering pursuant to Section 1.4(a) if the duration of any such deferral or suspension would individually exceed sixty (60) consecutive days or if the duration of all such deferrals or suspensions would in the aggregate exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve (12) month period.

(c)    Withdrawal. If the Company delays or suspends a Demand Registration, the Investor that initiated such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw its Demand Registration Request and, if it does so, such Demand Registration Request shall not count against the limitation on the number of such Investor’s Demand Registrations set forth in Section 1.2(b).

1.5    Piggyback Registrations.

(a)    Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee share plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan or (iv) pursuant to a registration in which the Company is offering to exchange its own securities for other securities), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more shareholders of the Company (other than the Investors) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Investor (which notice shall be held in confidence by the Investor until the offering is publicly disclosed) of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed date of filing of the applicable Registration Statement (or, in the event of a natural catastrophe or other exigent circumstances requiring a capital raise, such fewer number of Business Days as the Company shall determine in its reasonable discretion)) and, subject to Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(c) and 2.1, shall include in such Registration Statement and in any offering of Equity Securities to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement that number of Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such offering by such Investor for the account of such Investor, provided that the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein from such Investor no later than five (5) Business Days (or, in the event of a natural catastrophe or other exigent circumstances requiring a capital raise, such fewer number of Business Days as the Company shall determine in its reasonable discretion) after the date on which the Company has given notice of the Piggyback Registration to Investors. The Company may terminate, delay or withdraw a Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of such registration at any time in its sole discretion and, thereupon, (x) in the case of a determination to terminate or withdraw any registration, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities under this Section 1.5 in connection with such registration and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities under this Section 1.5 for the same period as the delay in registering the other equity securities covered by such registration. If a Piggyback Registration is effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then-appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement”), the Investors shall be notified by the Company of and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any offering pursuant to such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Take-Down”), subject to the same limitations that are applicable to any other Piggyback Registration as set forth above.

(b)    Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Take-Down is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters of the offering advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Equity Securities proposed to be included in such offering, including all Registrable Securities and all other Equity Securities proposed to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of Equity Securities that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price,

-6-

timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Take-Down: (i) first, the Equity Securities that the Company proposes to sell in such offering; and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Stockholder or any other Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders), allocated, in the case of this clause (ii), pro rata among such Investors (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities initially proposed to be included by each such Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) in such offering.

(c)    Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration or a Piggyback Shelf Take-Down is initiated as an underwritten offering other than on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters of the offering advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Equity Securities proposed to be included in such offering, including all Registrable Securities and all other Equity Securities requested to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of Equity Securities which can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Take-Down: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Stockholder or any other Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders), allocated, in the case of this clause (i), pro rata among such Investors (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities initially proposed to be included by each such Investor (and, if applicable, Other Stockholders) in such offering; and (ii) second, any Equity Securities that the Company proposes to sell in such offering.

(d)    Selection of Underwriters. In any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Take-Down, including if initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company or another securityholder, the Company shall have the right to select the investment banking firm(s) to act as the underwriters (including managing underwriter(s)) in connection with such offering and, if the Investors include Shares in any such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Take-down having a market value greater than $50 million, the Investors shall have the right to appoint one co-lead manager that shall not serve in the capacity as a bookrunning underwriter.

1.6    Holdback Agreement.

(a)    For so long as Stockholder and any other Investor, individually or together, hold or Beneficially Own at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares on an as-converted basis, each Investor agrees that in connection with any registered underwritten offering of Company Common Shares, and upon request from the managing underwriter(s) for such offering, such Investor shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter(s), during such period as is reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) (which period shall in no event be longer than three (3) days prior to and ninety (90) days after the launch of such offering), Transfer any Registrable Securities and, regardless of whether Stockholder and any other Investor, individually or together, holds or Beneficially Owns at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares on an as-converted basis, exercise any rights under this Agreement to a Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down during such period, as well as during the period

-7-

between the date it receives notice of an underwritten offering of Company Common Shares and the start of such period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6 shall not apply to offers or sales of Registrable Securities that are included in an offering pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.5 of this Agreement and shall be applicable to the Investors only if, for so long as and to the extent that the Company, the directors and executive officers of the Company and each selling shareholder included in such offering are subject to the same restrictions. Each Investor agrees to execute and deliver such customary agreements as may reasonably be requested by the managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6 and are necessary to give further effect thereto; provided, that the terms of such agreements shall not be more restrictive than the restrictions to which the directors and executive officers of the Company are subject.

(b)    To the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s) for the applicable offering, the Company and its directors and executive officers shall not effect any sale registered under the Securities Act or other public distribution of Equity Securities during the period commencing three (3) days prior to and ending ninety (90) days after the launch of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.5 of this Agreement, other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee share plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) pursuant to a registration in which the Company is offering to exchange its own securities for other securities, (iv) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan or (v) in connection with an offering that the Company reasonably determines is necessary to cover capital losses or adverse reserve developments as a result of claims arising from a severe natural disaster or catastrophe or another event that is reasonably expected to reduce the Company’s shareholders’ equity by more than 10% occurring after the launch of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.5 of this Agreement.

1.7    Registration Procedures.

(a)    In connection with the registration obligations of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of Registrable Securities in accordance with the methods of disposition thereof, of which the Stockholder and the other Investors have notified the Company prior to the filing by the Company of the applicable Registration Statement, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and the Company shall:

(i)    prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, cooperate with underwriters’ counsel in an underwritten offering in connection with all required filings with FINRA and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective upon filing but in any event as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of such Registration Statement (provided, however, that a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2(a) need not be declared effective prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date); provided, that before filing a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto (other

(v)    promptly as reasonably practicable notify the Stockholder and the other Investors, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were

-9-

made, and, as promptly as practicable, prepare and furnish to the Stockholder and the other Investors a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that any Investor receiving information pursuant to this Section 1.7(a)(v) shall hold any of the information communicated pursuant to this Section 1.7(a)(v) in confidence until is publicly disclosed;

(vii)    use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on such securities exchange reasonably selected by the Company;

(viii)    enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in form, scope and substance as is acceptable to the Company acting reasonably, which shall not include any “clear market” restrictions on the Company) and take all such appropriate and reasonable other actions as the Stockholder, the Investors or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities¸ including making members of senior management of the Company available to participate on a reasonable basis in “road show” and other customary marketing activities reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s), in each case consistent with the historical practices of the Company for an underwritten offering by the Company having an aggregate offering size comparable to such offering;

(ix)    if such offering is an underwritten offering, make available upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and for reasonable periods for inspection by the Stockholder, the other Investors, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any counsel, accountant or other agent retained by the Stockholder and the other Investors or any such

(xi)    in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or ceasing trading of any securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable time;

(xii)    if such offering is an underwritten offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Stockholder, each underwriter and the other Investors one or more comfort letters, addressed to the underwriters, the Stockholder and the Investors, dated the effective date of, or the date of the final receipt issued for, such Registration Statement (the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement for such offering), signed by the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters in similar underwritten offerings;

(xiii)    if such offering is an underwritten offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, addressed to the underwriters, dated the effective date of, or the date of the final receipt issued for, such Registration Statement (the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement for such offering), each amendment and supplement thereto, with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature;

(b)    The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to the Stockholder or any other Investor by name, or otherwise identifies the Stockholder or any other Investor as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of the Stockholder (any such consent to be binding on each other Investor), in its sole discretion, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law.

(c)    The Company may require the Stockholder and any other Investor to furnish the Company with such information regarding the Stockholder and such other Investor and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as may be required by the Securities Act. If within five (5) Business Days (or, in the event of a natural catastrophe or other exigent circumstances requiring a capital raise, such fewer number of Business Days as the Company shall determine in its reasonable discretion) of the receipt of such a written request from the Company, the Stockholder or any other Investor fails to provide to the Company any information relating to the Stockholder or such Investor, as applicable, that is required by applicable Law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company may exclude the Stockholder’s and such Investor’s, as applicable, Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

The Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 1.7(a)(v), 1.7(a)(vi)(B), 1.7(a)(vi)(C) or 1.7(a)(vi)(D) hereof, to the extent that such event requires the discontinuance of the disposition of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or the related prospectus and such notice reasonably requests such discontinuance, that the Stockholder shall discontinue, and shall cause each Investor to discontinue, disposition of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the related prospectus until receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.7(a)(iii) hereof, which supplement or amendment shall be prepared and furnished as soon as practicable, or until the Stockholder and the other Investors are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amended or supplemented prospectus or any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in such prospectus (such period during which disposition is discontinued being an “Interruption Period”) and, if requested by the Company, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause each of the other Investors to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to destroy or return to the Company all copies then in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such request. As soon as practicable (and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day) after the Company has determined that the use of the applicable prospectus may

-12-

be resumed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Stockholder and the other Investors. In the event the Company invokes an Interruption Period hereunder, as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day) after the need for the Company to continue the Interruption Period ceases for any reason, the Company shall provide written notice to the Stockholder and the other Investors that such Interruption Period is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, no Interruption Period shall exceed sixty (60) days and, in any calendar year, no more than one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate may be part of an Interruption Period.

1.8    Registration Expenses.

(a)    The Company shall pay directly or promptly reimburse all costs, fees and expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all SEC, FINRA and other registration and filing fees; (ii) all fees and expenses associated with filings to be made with, or the listing of any Registrable Securities on, any securities exchange or over-the-counter trading market on which the Registrable Securities are to be listed or quoted; (iii) all fees and expenses of complying with securities and blue sky laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith); (iv) all printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses (including the cost of distributing prospectuses in preliminary and final form as well as any supplements thereto); (v) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “road show” for underwritten offerings, including all costs of travel (commercial coach class only), lodging and meals and all costs to produce and disseminate an electronic “road show”; (vi) all transfer agent’s and registrar’s fees; (vii) all fees and expenses of counsel to the Company; (viii) all fees and expenses of the Company’s independent public accountants (including any fees and expenses arising from any special audits or “comfort letters”) and any other Persons retained by the Company in connection with or incident to any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement; and (ix) all fees and expenses of underwriters (other than Selling Expenses) customarily paid by the issuers or sellers of securities (all such costs, fees and expenses, “Registration Expenses”). Each Investor shall pay the fees and expenses of any counsel engaged by such Investor and shall bear its respective Selling Expenses associated with a registered sale of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)    The obligation of the Company to bear and pay the Registration Expenses shall apply irrespective of whether a registration, once properly demanded or requested, becomes effective or is withdrawn or suspended; provided, that the Registration Expenses for any Registration Statement withdrawn solely at the request of one or more Investor(s) (unless withdrawn following commencement of a suspension pursuant to Section 1.4(c)) shall be borne by such Investor(s).

1.9    Indemnification.

(a)    In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless, the Stockholder and the other Investors, their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and partners and each Person who is a “controlling person” of the Stockholder or the other Investors (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against, and pay and reimburse the Stockholder and the other Investors, affiliate,

-13-

director, officer, employee or partner or controlling person for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Stockholder and the other Investors or any such affiliate, director, officer, employee or partner or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state blue sky or securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any “free writing prospectus” as such term is defined under Rule 433 under the Securities Act or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will pay and reimburse the Stockholder and the other Investors and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any “free writing prospectus” as such term is defined under Rule 433 under the Securities Act, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Stockholder, any other Investor or any such affiliate, director, officer, employee, partner and controlling person expressly for use therein and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to the extent that any Losses arise out of or are based upon the use of any prospectus after such time as the Company has advised Stockholder or any other Investor in writing that a post-effective amendment or supplement thereto is required.

(b)    In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Stockholder or any other Investor is participating, the Stockholder and each other Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and each other Person who is a “controlling person” of the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any Losses to which the Company or any such director or officer, any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) the failure of such Investor to deliver a prospectus in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, but, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in each case in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Stockholder or any other Investor expressly for use therein, and the Stockholder and any such other Investor will reimburse the Company and each such

-14-

director, officer, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall be several and not joint for the Stockholder and each other Investor and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the Stockholder and each other Investor, respectively, from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c)    Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, provided that the indemnifying party will be liable for one additional counsel if in the reasonable judgment of counsel for any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

(d)    The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(e)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is legally unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount the Stockholder and any other Investor will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 1.9(e) will be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds received by the Stockholder and each such other Investor, respectively, in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Stockholder and each other Investor has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

-15-

1.10    Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form approved by the Persons entitled under this Agreement to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that no Investor included in any underwritten offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding (A) such Investor’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, (B) such Investor’s power and authority to effect such Transfer and (C) such matters pertaining to such Investor’s compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s)) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 1.9 hereof.

1.11    Rule 144 and 144A Reporting.

(a)    With a view to making available the benefits provided by Rule 144 which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and keep public information available at any time when the Company is subject to such reporting requirements.

Upon request of the Stockholder or the other Investors, the Company will deliver to the Stockholder and the other Investors a written statement as to whether it has complied with such informational and reporting requirements and will, within the limitations of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule enacted by the SEC, instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend affixed to any Registrable Securities to enable such shares to be sold in compliance with Rule 144 (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule enacted by the SEC.

(b)    For purposes of facilitating sales pursuant to Rule 144A, so long as the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Stockholder, each Investor and any prospective purchaser of the Stockholder’s or any Investor’s securities will have the right to obtain from the Company, upon written request of the Stockholder prior to the time of sale, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents that the Company would have been required to file if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as the Stockholder, the Investors or prospective purchaser may reasonably request in writing in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Stockholder or any other Investor, as applicable, to sell any such securities without registration.

-16-

1.12    Miscellaneous.

(a)    No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and agrees that it will not enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates or is otherwise inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors under this Agreement.

(b)    Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company will not on its own initiative, except to the extent required by applicable Law or an enforceable court order, propose any of the following actions to be taken by the general meeting of shareholders after the date of this Agreement with respect to Registrable Securities if such actions would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Stockholder or the other Investors to include the Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement: (i) implementing Transfer restrictions on Registrable Securities, (ii) implementing limits on dispositions of Registrable Securities, (iii) adopting restrictions on the nature of Transferees of Registrable Securities or (iv) implementing or adopting any similar restrictions or limitations with respect to the Transfer of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any actions which occur by operation of Law, pursuant to an enforceable court order or are taken by the general meeting of shareholders shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 1.12(b).

(c)    DTC Eligibility. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities, concurrently with the registration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to this ARTICLE I, to be eligible for the depository and book-entry transfer services of The Depository Trust Company.

1.13    Subject to Transfer Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, any exercise by any Investor of its rights pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 shall at all times be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1.
