 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company respectfully advises the Staff that we do not anticipate being required to discontinue the
Timberlake strategy described in Note 14 &#147;Collateral Finance Facility&#148; as we expect that any regulation changes will be prospective in nature. However, discontinuing this strategy or other similar strategies could affect the type and
volume of business we reinsure and could increase our overall costs as we may need to raise additional capital to support higher regulatory reserves or implement higher cost strategies. The Company regularly enters into agreements with banks for
access to letters of credit and has raised additional debt and equity capital on five occasions in the past five years, including an issuance last month of $400 million of 4.70% senior notes due 2023. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Therefore, our ability to reinsure certain products and risks, and/or our risk based capital ratios and ability to deploy excess capital, could be adversely
affected or we may need to increase prices on those products, which could adversely impact our competitive position and our results of operations. The Company cannot calculate the actual impact of discontinuing the Timberlake strategy or similar
strategies due to unknown variables such as the cost of alternative capital, potential changes in regulatory reserving requirements under a principle based reserving approach which would likely reduce required collateral, changes in acceptable
collateral for statutory reserves, the introduction of the certified reinsurer concept, the increased pricing of products offered by the Company and the change in mix of products sold and/or offered by the Company and/or our clients. </P>
