</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Effective December&nbsp;29, 2017, Citibank Europe plc (&#147;CEP&#148;), Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. (&#147;RRL&#148;),
DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. (&#147;DaVinci&#148;), ReinassanceRe Specialty U.S. Ltd. (&#147;RRS&#148;), Renaissance
Reinsurance of Europe Unlimited Company (&#147;ROE&#148;) and Renaissance Reinsurance U.S. Inc. (&#147;RRUS&#148;)
(each of RRL, DaVinci, RRS, ROE and RRUS a &#147;Company&#148; and, collectively, the &#147;Companies&#148;) entered
into an amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) to the existing secured letter of credit facility (the
&#147;Facility&#148;) provided pursuant to the facility letter, by and among CEP and the Companies, dated
September&nbsp;17, 2010 (the &#147;Original Facility Letter&#148;) and amended July&nbsp;14, 2011, October&nbsp;1, 2013,
December&nbsp;23, 2014, March&nbsp;31, 2015, December&nbsp;31, 2015, January&nbsp;14, 2016 and December&nbsp;31, 2016, to
extend the termination date of the Facility from December&nbsp;31, 2018 to December&nbsp;31, 2019 (as so
amended, the &#147;Facility Letter&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Facility provides a commitment from CEP to issue letters of credit for the account of one or
more of the Companies and their respective subsidiaries in multiple currencies and in an aggregate
amount of up to $300&nbsp;million, subject to a sublimit of $60&nbsp;million for letters of credit issued for
the account of RRS and a sublimit of $25&nbsp;million for letters of credit issued for the account of
RRUS.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Facility is evidenced by the Facility Letter and five separate Master Agreements between
CEP and each of the Companies, as well as certain ancillary agreements, the terms of which are
substantially similar for each Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Under the Facility, each of the Companies is severally obligated to pledge to CEP at all times
during the term of the Facility certain securities with a collateral value (as determined as
therein provided) that equals or exceeds 100% of the aggregate amount of its thenoutstanding
letters of credit. In the case of an event of default under the Facility with respect to a Company,
CEP may exercise certain remedies with respect to such Company, including terminating its
commitment to such Company under the Facility and taking certain actions with respect to the
collateral pledged by such Company (including the sale thereof).&nbsp;&nbsp;In the Facility Letter, each
Company makes, as to itself, representations and warranties that are customary for facilities of
this type and severally agrees that it will comply with certain informational and other
undertakings, including those regarding the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt">CEP and its affiliates have performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory
services for the Companies and their affiliates from time to time for which they have received
customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. CEP and its affiliates may from time to time engage
in transactions with and perform services for the Companies and their affiliates in the ordinary
course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.
