Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are, unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, used herein as defined therein.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for the Lenders to extend certain credit facilities to the Borrower from time to time;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter set forth; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. AMENDMENTS. Subject to Section 3 hereof, effective as of the Acquisition Date (as defined below), Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Change in Control” is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

2. CONSENT FOR CHANGE OF CONTROL. Subject to Section 3 hereof, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, the Lenders hereby (a) consent to (i) the acquisition of the Borrower by Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. pursuant to the Merger and the resulting Change in Control and (ii) the Merger and (b) waive any Event of Default under Section 8.01(k) resulting from the Merger; provided, in each case, that (x) the Acquisition Date (as defined herein) occurs on or before December 31, 2012 and (y) on the Acquisition Date, after giving effect to the Merger, Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. indirectly owns 100% of the voting stock of the Borrower. If the Acquisition Date shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2012, this consent shall be null and void and the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in Section 1 shall not become effective. This limited consent shall not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver of, consent to or departure from, any other term or provision in the Credit Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, nor shall this limited consent constitute a course of dealing among the parties

3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in Section 1 shall become effective on the Acquisition Date (provided the Acquisition Date has occurred on or before December 31, 2012) and the consent in Section 2 shall become effective when each of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3.1 shall have been satisfied. The effectiveness of the consent is further conditioned upon the accuracy of the factual matters described in Section 3.2.

3.1 Receipt of Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received the following documents:

(a) this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; and

(b) all other documents or materials as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

3.2 Compliance with Warranties, No Default, etc. By execution hereof, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that such statements are true and correct as of the date hereof:

(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as if then made (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and

 

2


(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing.

4. MISCELLANEOUS.

After the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with its terms, all references to the Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents or in any other document, instrument, agreement or writing shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Each other Loan Document is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in each and every respect by the Borrower. This Amendment is a Loan Document.

4.2 Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.

4.3 Severability. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
