CAPITAL

Section 3.1Contributions to Capital.
-14-


(a)Initial Capital Contributions. Each Partner made an initial capital contribution to the Partnership, in cash and/or in-kind with Securities in the amount set forth in the books and records of the Partnership.
(b)Additional Capital Contributions by Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner, as applicable, shall make additional capital contributions in accordance with Section 3.1(c), Section 3.6(c), Section 3.7(c) and Section 5.1(a)(ii) hereof.
(c)Contributions of Investable Assets. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Limited Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause substantially all of its investable assets to be contributed to the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that the term “investable assets” shall not be deemed to include any strategic equity ownership interests beneficially owned by any Limited Partner in connection with the operation of its business, or any assets reasonably necessary to operate the Limited Partner’s business determined in the good faith discretion by the Board of such Limited Partner; and, provided, further, that no Limited Partner shall be required or obligated to make any contribution of its investable assets to the Partnership pursuant to this clause solely to the extent that the contribution of such assets would cause the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Limited Partners to be more than 90% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Partners as of such date (the portion of the contribution that cannot be made, “Excess Contribution Amount”); provided, however, that if, the General Partner makes an additional capital contribution to the Partnership at the end of the relevant fiscal quarter such that the General Partner’s Capital Account balance, taking into account the contributions by the Limited Partners of any Excess Contribution Amount, will be at least equal to 10% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Partners (the “General Partner Additional Contribution”) and provides written notice of such additional capital contribution to the Limited Partners, then each Limited Partner shall use its commercially reasonable effort to contribute its respective portion of the Excess Contribution Amount to the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable.
(d)General Partner Contributions. On or prior to the Commencement Date, the General Partner shall make a capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount such that on the Commencement Date, the General Partner’s Capital Account balance is at least 10% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Partners. The General Partner shall not make any withdrawal that would cause its Capital Account to be less than the General Partner Minimum at such time and the General Partner shall give ten (10) days’ prior written notice to each Limited Partner if it determines to make a withdrawal that would cause its Capital Account balance to be less than 10% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Partners. The General Partner has the right at any time to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership as the General Partner or a Limited Partner. Except as provided above or in the ELP Law, the General Partner is not required or obligated to make any additional capital contributions to the Partnership.
(e)Contributions in Cash.

Section 3.2Rights of Partners in Capital.
(a)No Interest. No Partner is entitled to interest on any capital contributions to the Partnership.
(b)Return of Capital. No Partner has the right to the return of any capital contribution to the Partnership except (i) upon a withdrawal by a Partner pursuant to Section 5.2, or (ii) upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.1. The entitlement to any such return at such time is limited to the value of the Capital Account of the Partner. The General Partner is not liable for the return of any such amounts.
Section 3.3Capital Accounts.
(a)Separate Capital Accounts. The Partnership maintains a separate Capital Account for each Partner relating to its respective Interest and, as contemplated by Section 4.8, may have one or more Sub-Accounts for the purpose of engaging in Hedging Transactions; provided, however, that if a Limited Partner makes a contribution of a Recontributed Amount to the Partnership prior to such Limited Partner’s Recovery Time, the Partnership will maintain a separate Capital Account for the Recontributed Amount (a “Recontribution Capital Account”). At the Recovery Time with respect to a Limited Partner’s Capital Account, the Partnership will combine such Limited Partner’s Capital Account and its Recontribution Capital Account into one single Capital Account.
(b)Initial Capital Account Balance. As of the Commencement Date, each Partner’s Capital Account has an initial balance equal to the amount of any cash and the net value, as determined in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, of any assets constituting such Partner’s initial capital contribution to the Partnership.
(c)Increases and Decreases of Capital Accounts. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of cash and the net value, as determined in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, of any other assets constituting additional capital contributions by such Partner to the Partnership and decreased by (i) the amount of cash and the net value of any other Assets withdrawn by and distributed to such Partner and (ii) such Partner’s pro rata portion of the expenses that are paid by the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.3(b).
(d)Other Adjustments to Capital Accounts. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted in the manner specified in the remaining provisions of this Article III. The Partners intend that, to the maximum extent possible, the Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with the applicable regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code, including Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
Section 3.4Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.
(a)Allocations Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capital contributions by a Partner shall be credited to such Partner’s Capital Account, and all withdrawals by or distributions to such Partner shall be debited from such Partner’s Capital Account to the extent thereof. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.4,
-16-


Section 3.5, Section 3.8 and Section 3.9 as of the last day of each Fiscal Period, any Net Profit or Net Loss for such Fiscal Period shall be allocated among and credited to or debited against the Capital Accounts of the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentages for such Fiscal Period.
(b)Certain Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a) above, items of income, gains, losses, deduction, credit and expenses that relate to investments in New Issues and Designated Securities shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.5 below. The General Partner acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, Greenlight Re holds a Class D Insurer’s license issued in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Law, 2010, of the Cayman Islands (as amended) and that GRIL is a non-life reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations 2015.
Section 3.5Allocations Relating to New Issues and Designated Securities.
(a)New Issues. Pursuant to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rulebook (the “FINRA Rules”), members of FINRA are permitted to sell to the Partnership certain publicly-offered securities (“New Issues”) only if the Capital Accounts of Partners connected with the securities industry (“Restricted Capital Accounts”) are restricted from sharing a beneficial interest in such New Issues in accordance with the provisions of the FINRA Rules. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.4 above, to enable the Partnership to invest in New Issues, the Partnership shall not allocate any items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit that relate to investments in New Issues to Restricted Capital Accounts except to the extent permitted by the FINRA Rules, and shall instead allocate such items among the other Capital Accounts on a pro rata basis. To the extent the FINRA Rules permit certain persons with Restricted Capital Accounts to participate in New Issues, the General Partner will allocate such New Issue among such Restricted Capital Accounts on a pro rata basis. The General Partner may specially allocate a carrying charge to compensate Partners with Restricted Capital Accounts to the extent such Restricted Capital Accounts do not participate in investments in New Issues for the use of Partnership capital to purchase or carry such positions. To the extent consistent with FINRA Rules, as amended from time to time, the General Partner shall determine when all Capital Accounts may participate in the Net Profit and Net Loss from any New Issue. The General Partner shall value any New Issue at such time at the then-current price of the security in the secondary market.
(b)Designated Securities. The General Partner may, in its discretion, elect to designate an Asset as a Designated Security. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.4 above, items of income, gains, losses, deduction, credit and expense that relate to a Designated Security shall be allocated to Capital Accounts in such percentages as the General Partner shall reasonably determine (taking into account each Limited Partner’s Guidelines, regulatory restrictions and other items deemed relevant by the General Partner). Whenever the Partnership makes an investment that is in a Designated Security or whenever an existing investment is first designated as a Designated Security by the General Partner, the Partnership shall establish a Sub-Account with respect to each Partner that participates in such Designated Security to reflect such Partner’s Capital Account’s pro rata share of all allocations and distributions attributable to transactions involving such Designated Security. If the General Partner determines that an investment no longer warrants treatment as a Designated Security or that a Partner may or must
-17-


participate at a different percentage, the General Partner will either deem such investment no longer to be a Designated Security or reallocate the interests in the Designated Security to reflect the change in ownership percentage. In the event of a withdrawal request by a Partner pursuant to Section 5.2, the Partnership shall have the discretion to effect such withdrawal request first out of the Partner’s Capital Account (excluding the Designated Securities Sub-Account) and then out of the Designated Security Sub-Account. The Investment Advisor, in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce the Management Fee with respect to a Limited Partner’s interest in certain Designated Securities selected by the Investment Advisor.
Section 3.6Management Fee, Withholding Taxes and Certain Other Expenditures.
(a)Management Fee. Subject to any special arrangements with Special Limited Partners, as of the first day of each month, a monthly management fee equal to 0.125% (an annual rate of 1.5%) of each Limited Partner’s Investment Portfolio (the “Management Fee”), for such month shall be debited against the Capital Account of such Limited Partner and paid in cash to the Investment Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.
(b)Calculation of Management Fee. All applicable Management Fees are payable monthly in advance on the first day of the month (or on the Commencement Date with respect to such Limited Partner in the case of the first month of this Agreement). All payments of the Management Fees to the Investment Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement shall be made without any reduction, deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax (including without limitation, any value added tax), unless required by law. If reduction, deduction or withholding of any tax (including without limitation, any value added tax) is required by law from any such payment, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, the Investment Advisor receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(c)Allocation of Tax Liability. If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation allocable to any Partner (including pursuant to any FATCA or BBA provision), then the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall (unless otherwise agreed by such Partner) withhold the appropriate portion of such Partner’s share of income, timely remit such amount to the applicable taxing authority, and the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership or the General Partner, may cause the amount of such obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner and treat such amounts as distributed at the time the obligation was paid. If the amount of such taxes is greater than such Capital Account balance, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s Interest must pay to the Partnership as a capital contribution to the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess. The General Partner is not obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption, but the General Partner will provide any assistance reasonably requested by a Limited Partner, at such Limited Partner’s cost, in connection with establishing any such reduction or exemption. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be liable for any excess amounts withheld (directly or indirectly) in respect of any Limited Partner, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Limited Partner’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate governmental authority. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and
-18-


hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner for any loss or liability with respect to withholding (including interest and penalties thereon) required to be made or made on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner.
(d)Allocation of Certain Expenses. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, any expenditures payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners, are to be charged to only those Partners on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments. Such charges are debited from the Capital Accounts of such Partners as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which any such items were accrued or paid.
Section 3.7Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events.
(a)Reserves. Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Net Assets and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Partners for contingent liabilities associated with the Partnership, including, without limitation, for accrued Performance Allocation amounts, such reserves to be in the amounts that the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or appropriate. The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or appropriate. At the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, the amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, may be charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased, or decreased, as the case may be, or alternatively may be charged or credited to those Persons who were Partners at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was established.
(b)Allocation of Certain Amounts to Prior Periods. If the General Partner in its reasonable discretion determines that it is equitable to treat an amount to be paid or received as being applicable to one or more prior periods, then such amount may be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to those Persons who were Partners during such prior period or periods.
(c)Liability for Prior Period Amounts. If any amount is to be charged or credited to a Person who is no longer a Partner pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.7, such amount must be paid by (in the case of a charge) or to (in the case of a credit) such party, as the case may be, in cash, with interest at the Treasury Bill Rate in effect at that time from the date on which the General Partner determines that such charge or credit is required. In the case of a charge, the former Partner is obligated to pay the amount of the charge, plus interest as provided above, to the Partnership on demand; provided that in no event is a former Partner obligated to make a payment exceeding the amount of its Capital Account at the time to which the charge relates. To the extent the Partnership fails to collect, in full, any amount required to be charged to such former Partner pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.7, whether due to the expiration of the applicable limitation period, if any, or for any other reason whatsoever, the deficiency may be charged proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the current Partners.
-19-


(d)Certain Reserves. In the event any reserves in excess of $100,000 are created, accrued or charged against a Limited Partner’s Capital Account, or any such reserves in excess of $100,000 are increased or decreased, the General Partner will promptly, within five Business Days following month end, provide written notice and a description of such event to such Limited Partner.
Section 3.8Allocation to Avoid Capital Account Deficits. To the extent that any debits pursuant to Section 3.4 through Section 3.7 hereof would reduce the balance of the Capital Account of any Limited Partner below zero, that portion of any such debits is instead allocated to the Capital Account of the General Partner. Any credits in any subsequent Fiscal Period that would otherwise be allocable pursuant to Section 3.4 through Section 3.7 hereof to the Capital Account of any Limited Partner previously affected by the application of this Section 3.8 are instead allocated to the Capital Account of the General Partner in such amounts as are necessary to offset all previous debits attributable to such Limited Partner (but allocated to the General Partner) pursuant to this Section 3.8 not previously recovered.
Section 3.9Performance Allocation.
(a)Performance Allocation. The Performance Allocation shall be determined as of the close of each Performance Period and shall be debited against the Capital Account of each Limited Partner as of the last day of each Performance Period with respect to such Limited Partner, and the amount so debited shall be simultaneously credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner.
(b)General Partner May Waive or Reduce Performance Allocation. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce the Performance Allocation with respect to Limited Partners that are affiliated with the General Partner and others, including Special Limited Partners. In the event the General Partner agrees to reduce the Performance Allocation rate in respect of any Limited Partner for any Performance Period, the General Partner shall offer the other Limited Partners, other than a Special Limited Partner, an equivalent reduction of the rate of the Performance Allocation for such Performance Period.
Section 3.10Allocations for Income Tax Purposes.
(a)Except as otherwise required by Code Section 704(c), items of income, gain, deduction, loss, or credit that are recognized for income tax purposes in each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited to or debited against each Partner’s Capital Account, whether in such Fiscal Year or in prior Fiscal Years (except to the extent such amounts so credited or debited to each Partner’s Capital Account have previously been the recipient of a corresponding allocation pursuant to this section). To this end, the Partnership shall establish and maintain records that show the extent to which the Capital Account of each Partner, as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, consists of amounts that have not been reflected in the taxable income of such Partner. To the extent deemed by the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, to be feasible and equitable, taxable income and gains in each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners who have enjoyed the related credits to their Capital Accounts, and items of deduction, loss and credit in each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners who have borne the burden of the related
-20-


debits to their Capital Accounts. The Partners shall agree to allocate any nonrecourse deductions and partner nonrecourse deductions in accordance with the rules set forth at Regulation Section 1.704-2. The Partners shall also agree to allocate any Section 704(c) items or “reverse” Section 704(c) items in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-3.
(b)To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations, and in the event that an adjustment to the book value of Partnership property is made as a result of an adjustment pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code, items of income, gain, loss, or deduction, as computed for book and tax purposes, shall be specially allocated among the Partners so that the effect of any such adjustment shall benefit (or be borne by) the Partner(s) receiving the distribution which caused such adjustment.
(c)If the Partnership realizes net gains or items of gross income (including short term capital gain) from the sale of Partnership Assets for federal income tax purposes for any Fiscal Year in which one or more Positive Basis Partners withdraw, in whole or in part, from the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.2, the General Partner in its sole discretion may elect (i) to allocate such net gains or items of gross income among such Positive Basis Partners, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the respective Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Partner, until either the full amount of such net gains or items of gross income shall have been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Partner shall have been eliminated and/or (ii) to allocate any net gains or items of gross income not so allocated to Positive Basis Partners to the other Partners in such manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to such Partners’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.3.
(d)If the Partnership realizes net losses or items of gross loss or deduction (including short term capital loss) from the sale of Partnership assets for federal income tax purposes for any Fiscal Year in which one or more Negative Basis Partners withdraw, in whole or in part, from the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.2, the General Partner in its sole discretion may elect: (i) to allocate such net losses or items of gross loss or deduction among such Negative Basis Partners, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the respective Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Partner, until either the full amount of such losses or items of loss or deduction shall have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Partner has been eliminated; and/or (ii) to allocate any net losses or items of gross loss or deduction not so allocated to the Negative Basis Partners to the other Partners in such manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to such Partners’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.3.
Section 3.11Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Partnership income and gain will be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the deficit balance in the Capital
-21-


Account of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.11 may be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.11 were not in this Agreement. This Section 3.11 is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii), and must be interpreted consistently therewith.
Section 3.12Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (a) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and (b) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.12 may be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been made as if Section 3.11 hereof and this Section 3.12 were not in this Agreement.
Section 3.13Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 3.10(c) and Section 3.10(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations will be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 3.10. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner will make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to other provisions of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations).
Section 3.14Tax Matters.
(a)Tax Treatment. Each Partner agrees not to treat, on any personal income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership.
(b)Partnership Representative.
(i) The General Partner is hereby designated as the as the “partnership representative” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code and Regulation Section ###-###-####-1 et. seq., or under any successor statute or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law (in each such capacity, the “Partnership Representative”) and shall designate an individual to act as the “designated individual” of the Partnership (the “Designated Individual”), and in such capacity shall represent the Partnership in any disputes, controversies or proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service or with any state, local, or non-U.S. taxing authority and is hereby authorized to take any and all
-22-


actions that it is permitted to take by applicable law when acting in that capacity. In the event the Partnership will be the subject of an income tax audit by any federal, state or local authority, to the extent the Partnership is treated as an entity for purposes of such audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Partnership Representative will be authorized to act for, and its decision will be final and binding upon, the Partnership and each Partner thereof. It is acknowledged that the actual designations herein are made on Form 1065 or successor form for each year that the Partnership files, if applicable, such form.
(ii)The Partners acknowledge and agree that it is the general intention of the Partners to minimize any obligations of the Partnership to pay taxes and interest in connection with any audit of the Partnership, including, if the Partnership Representative so determines, by means of elections under any BBA provision (such as the so-called “push out” election under Section 6226). The Partners agree to cooperate in good faith, including without limitation by timely providing information reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative and making elections and filing amended returns reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative, by paying any applicable taxes, interest and penalties, to give effect to the preceding sentence, and by undertaking any other action reasonably requested by the Partnership or the General Partner in connection with any elections made by the Partnership Representative or as determined to be reasonably necessary by the Partnership Representative under any BBA provision.
(iii)The Partnership shall make any payments it may be required to make under any BBA provision and, in the Partnership Representative’s reasonable discretion, allocate any such payment among the current or former Partners of the Partnership for the “reviewed year” to which the payment relates in a manner that reflects the current or former Partners’ respective interests in the Partnership for that year and any other factors taken into account in determining the amount of the payment. To the extent payments are made by the Partnership on behalf of or with respect to a current Partner in accordance with this Section 3.14(b), such amounts shall, at the election of the Partnership Representative, (x) be applied to and reduce the next distribution(s) otherwise payable to that Partner under this Agreement, (y) be reimbursed to the Partnership by reducing such Partner’s Capital Account, or (z) be paid by that Partner to the Partnership within thirty days of written notice from the Partnership Representative requesting the payment. In addition, if any such payment is made on behalf of or with respect to a former Partner, that Partner shall pay over to the Partnership an amount equal to the amount of such payment made on behalf of or with respect to it within thirty days of written notice from the Partnership Representative requesting the payment. Any amounts required to be paid by any current or former Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 3.14(b) that have not been paid within thirty days of written notice from the Partnership Representative requesting such payment shall accrue interest at the Treasury Bill Rate (or any substantially similar rate selected by the General Partner in its discretion) plus 2% per annum from the date that the payment was made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner until the date that such amount is paid to the Partnership.

(v)Any cost or expense incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with its duties, including the preparation for or pursuance of administrative or judicial proceedings, will be paid by the Partnership, and the Partnership Representative shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership (solely out of Partnership assets) with respect to any action brought against it in connection with the settlement of any such proceeding.

(ii)During the term hereof, each of the Limited Partners and Greenlight Capital Re shall, and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause any of their respective subsidiaries that are formed before or after the Commencement Date to become Limited Partners and contribute substantially all of their investable assets (as contemplated by Section 3.1(c) hereof) to the Partnership.

No additional general partner may be added without the prior written consent of the Limited Partners, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such additional general partner may only be added if it agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and such admission would not have any of the effects described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 5.3(c) hereof.
-36-

Subject to the obligations of the Limited Partners set forth in Section 3.1(c), a Limited Partner may voluntarily withdraw all or part of its Capital Account as of the close of business on any Business Day. If a Limited Partner wishes to withdraw funds, it must give written notice to the General Partner at least 3 Business Days prior to the proposed withdrawal date indicating the amount to be withdrawn from such Limited Partner’s Capital Account in such notice. The General Partner may with respect to such request, in its reasonable discretion, waive the foregoing notice requirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Partners acknowledges that a substantial amount of withdrawals by one or more Partners could require the General Partner to liquidate positions in order to raise cash necessary to fund the withdrawals at a time when market conditions are adverse or when such liquidations are otherwise not in the best interests of non-withdrawing Partners.
(e)Reserves. The right of any Partner to withdraw or of any Partner to have distributed an amount from its Capital Account pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2 is subject to the provision by the General Partner for all Partnership liabilities and for reserves for contingencies provided for in Section 3.7 herein.

-38-


(k)Withdrawals and Distributions in General.

Section 5.3Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners.
(a)Restrictions on Transfer. Each Limited Partner agrees that it will not make or attempt to make any Transfer of its Interest that would violate this Section 5.3. In the event of any attempted Transfer of any Limited Partner’s Interest in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.3, without limiting any other rights of the General Partner under this Agreement or otherwise, such attempted Transfer shall be void ab initio and the General Partner shall have the right to require the withdrawal of such Limited Partner’s Interest.
(b)General Partner Consent Required for Transfer. No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, is valid or effective, and no transferee becomes a substituted Limited Partner, unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which consent may be withheld for any reason or for no reason in the sole discretion of the General Partner. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 5.3 must also be satisfied.
(c)Conditions to Transfer. No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, is valid or effective unless the General Partner in its sole discretion determines, after consultation with legal counsel, that such Transfer will not:
(i)require registration of any Interest under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction;
(ii)subject the Partnership or the General Partner to a requirement to register, under any securities or commodities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction;
(iii)cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7704(b) of the Code;
(iv)result in the Partnership being considered an investment company under the Company Act;
(v)violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Limited Partner at the time the Limited Partner subscribed to purchase an Interest; or
-39-


(vi)result in Assets being considered “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA.
The transferring Limited Partner, or its legal representative, must give the General Partner written notice before making any voluntary Transfer and promptly after any involuntary Transfer and must provide sufficient information to allow the General Partner to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above.
(d)Admission of Substitute Limited Partners. Subsequent to receipt of the consent of the General Partner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), an authorized transferee is entitled to the allocations and distributions attributable to the Interest transferred to such transferee and to transfer such Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee is not entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such transfer until he or she becomes a substituted Limited Partner. No transferee, except with the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), may become a substituted Limited Partner. If the General Partner withholds consent, a transferee will not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner, except that the transferee will be entitled to receive that share of capital or profits and to have the right of withdrawal to which such Limited Partner’s transferor would have been entitled and will remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement. A transferring Limited Partner remains liable to the Partnership as provided under applicable law regardless of whether such Limited Partner’s transferee becomes a substituted Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner will incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of transfer has been received by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
(e)Transferees Bound. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any successor to any Limited Partner’s Interest is bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 5.3, the General Partner in its sole discretion may require the transferring Limited Partner to execute and acknowledge an instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, and may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. A transferee becomes a substituted Limited Partner and succeeds to the portion of the transferor’s Capital Account relating to the Interest transferred effective upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions for such Transfer contained in this Section 5.3.
(f)Adjustment of Tax Basis. In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, in the absolute discretion of the General Partner, may, but is not required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 or 743 of the Code.
(g)Certain Financing Arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partners acknowledge that a Limited Partner has or may in the future enter into financing arrangements pursuant to which it may grant to lenders a security interest in its Interest. The General Partner agrees to reasonably cooperate with such Limited Partner to effect the granting of such security
-40-


interests, including without limitation, executing a deed of assignment, charge or similar agreement on reasonably acceptable terms including if possible the right to foreclose on such Limited Partner’s Interest.

By executing this Agreement, each Limited Partner is deemed to have consented to any such transfer permitted by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(b)Certain Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 5.4(a), the General Partner may transfer its General Partner Interest to any equally creditworthy entity managed and controlled by it or its principal without the consent of the Limited Partners, and the transferee will be admitted to the Partnership as a substitute General Partner in accordance with Section 5.1(b). The General Partner must promptly notify the Limited Partners of any transfer pursuant to this Section 5.4(b).

(a)Each Partner acknowledges that:
(i)    The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act.
(ii)    It must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Interest for an indefinite period of time because the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and it will have no right to cause any registration of the Interests under the Securities Act.
(iii)    The Partnership will make investments that involve significant risks and there is no assurance as to the performance of, or rate of return on, any such investment.

(iv)an order or direction of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Upon a determination to wind up and dissolve the Partnership, withdrawal requests and distributions in respect of pending withdrawals may not be made.
(c)Certain Events Do Not Cause Termination. Except as provided in the ELP Law, the death, mental illness, dissolution, termination, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, sale of substantially all of the stock or assets of or other change in the ownership or nature of a Partner, the admission to the Partnership of a new General Partner or Limited Partner, the withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership, or the transfer by a Partner of its Interest to a third party does not cause the Partnership to terminate.
(d)No Right to Seek Termination. The parties agree that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partners if any Limited Partner should bring an action in court to terminate the Partnership. Care has been taken in this Agreement to provide for fair and just payment in liquidation of the Interests of all Partners. Accordingly, each Limited Partner hereby waives and renounces its right to such a court decree of termination or to seek the appointment by the court of a liquidator for the Partnership except as provided herein.
Section 6.2Liquidation of Assets.
(a)Prompt Liquidation. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the General Partner shall promptly liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership, except that if the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator elected by Limited Partners whose Percentages represent more than 50% of the aggregate Percentages of all Limited Partners shall liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership.
(b)Priority of Distributions. Net Profit and Net Loss attributable to a Capital Account during the Fiscal Periods that include the period of liquidation are allocated pursuant to Article III. The proceeds from liquidation are divided in the following manner, subject to the ELP Law:

(ii)such debts as are owing to the Partners as Partners are next paid; and
(iii)the Partners are next paid liquidating distributions (in cash, Securities, or other assets, whether or not readily marketable) pro rata in accordance with, and up to the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, as adjusted pursuant to Article III
-46-


to reflect allocations for the Fiscal Period ending on the date of the distributions under this Section 6.2(b)(iii).
(c)Form of Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary and subject to the priorities set forth in the ELP Law, the General Partner, liquidator or the trustee, as the case may be, may distribute ratably in-kind rather than in cash, upon termination, any Assets; provided, however, that if any in-kind distribution is to be made (i) the Assets distributed in kind must be valued pursuant to Section 7.2 as of the actual date of their distribution, and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 6.2(b) above, and (ii) any gain or loss (as computed for book purposes) attributable to property distributed in-kind must be included in the Net Profit or Net Loss attributable to the Capital Account of the Partner to whom the in-kind distribution is made for the Fiscal Period ending on the date of such distribution.
(d)Time for Liquidation, etc. A reasonable time period shall be allowed for the orderly winding up and liquidation of the Assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Partnership to seek to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions relating to the payment of the Management Fee and the Performance Allocation shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up and until the filing of a notice pursuant to Section 6.2(e). The Partners intend that, to the maximum extent possible, the Partnership shall comply with the rules of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) and (3) relating to the liquidation of the Partnership.
(e)Notice of Dissolution.

-47-


of a set of financial statements prepared on a basis that uses United States generally accepted accounting principles as a guideline (with such adjustments thereto as the General Partner determines appropriate), including the report of such certified public accountants, is furnished to each Partner. For purposes of this Section 7.1(b), the accounting firm of Ernst & Young, LLP shall be deemed acceptable to the Limited Partners.
(c)Interim Reports. Promptly after each calendar month end, the General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and delivery to each Partner of an interim statement of its respective Capital Account valued as set forth in Section 7.2, including, but not limited to, balance sheet, income statement, trial balance and detailed holdings report of a Partner’s Capital Account, and other information that the Partner may reasonably request.
(d)Tax Information.

(e)Management Fee and Performance Allocation Statement. The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and delivery to each Partner a statement setting forth the computation of (i) the Management Fee within 10 Business Days following the beginning of each month and (ii) Performance Allocation within 30 days after the close of each Performance Period.

The General Partner acknowledges that (i) Greenlight Re is subject to the reporting requirements of, among others, the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the regulatory and information requirements of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and A.M Best & Co., and (ii) GRIL is subject to the regulatory and information requirements of the Insurance Supervision Department of the Irish Financial Regulator and A.M.

(g)Certain Certifications. Within 30 days after receiving a written request for such certification from a Limited Partner, which shall not be requested more than once during any quarter, the General Partner shall deliver to the Limited Partners a written certification that the General Partner and the Investment Advisor have complied in all material respects with (i) the Guidelines, and (ii) all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor, with each such written certification being subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement.
-48-


(h)Cause Notifications. In the event that an officer of the General Partner learns that either Greenlight Re Cause or GRIL Cause exists, the General Partner shall promptly, and in any event within three Business Days, notify Greenlight Re or GRIL, as the case may be, that either Greenlight Re Cause or GRIL Cause, as the case may be, exists.
Section 7.2Valuation of Partnership Assets and Interests.
(a)Valuation Generally. The General Partner shall value or have valued the Securities and other Assets of the Partnership as of the close of business on the last day of each Fiscal Period and on any other date selected by the General Partner. In addition, in good faith, the General Partner shall value Securities that are being distributed in kind as of their date of distribution in accordance with Section 6.2(c). In determining the value of the Assets, no value is placed on the goodwill or name of the Partnership, or the office records, files, statistical data or any similar intangible assets of the Partnership not normally reflected in the Partnership’s accounting records, but there must be taken into consideration any related items of income earned but not received, expenses incurred but not yet paid, liabilities fixed or contingent, prepaid expenses to the extent not otherwise reflected in the books of account, and the value of options or commitments to purchase or sell Securities pursuant to agreements entered into on or prior to such valuation date. Valuation of Securities made pursuant to this Section 7.2 must be based on all relevant factors and is expected to comply generally with the following guidelines:
(b)Fair Value. Investments in Securities and Securities sold short are measured at their fair value on the date of determination. Fair value shall be determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measurements”.
(c)Valuation Methodology. In general, specific financial instruments and other Assets of the Partnership are valued as follows:
(i)Exchange Traded Securities. The market value of each Security listed or traded on any recognized national securities exchange (including equities and exchange traded derivatives) shall be the last reported sale price at the relevant valuation date on the composite tape or on the principal exchange on which such Security is traded. If no such sale of such Security was reported on that date, the market value is the last reported bid price (in the case of Securities held long), or last reported ask price (in the case of Securities sold short).
(ii)Dividends. Dividends declared but not yet received, and rights in respect of Securities that are quoted ex-dividend or ex-rights, shall be recorded at the fair value thereof, as determined by the General Partner, which may (but need not) be the value so determined on the day such Securities are first quoted ex-dividend or ex-rights.
(iii)Options. Listed options, or over-the-counter options for which representative brokers’ quotations shall be available, are valued in the same manner as listed or over-the-counter Securities as hereinabove provided.
(d)Other Assets. The fair value of any Assets not referred to in paragraph (c)(i) (or the valuation of any Assets referred to therein in the event that the General Partner determines in
-49-


its reasonable discretion that market prices or quotations do not fairly represent the value of particular Assets) shall be determined by or at the direction of the General Partner; but may be audited by Greenlight Re, GRIL or any of their representatives or agents, at Greenlight Re’s or GRIL’s cost and expense, as applicable, at any time upon reasonable notice. In these circumstances, the General Partner will attempt to use consistent and fair valuation criteria and may (but is not required to) obtain independent appraisals, which shall be considered an expense under Section 4.3.
(e)U.S. Dollars. Except as otherwise reasonably determined by or at the direction of the General Partner, investment and trading transactions shall be accounted for on the trade date. Accounts shall be maintained in U.S. dollars and except as otherwise determined by or at the direction of the General Partner: (i) Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rates of exchange in effect at the close of the relevant Fiscal Period (and exchange adjustments shall be recorded in the results of operations); and (ii) investment and trading transactions and income and expenses shall be translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of each transaction.
(f)Valuations Binding. The value of each Security and other Asset and the net worth of the Partnership as a whole determined pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be, in the absence of bad faith or manifest error and/or subject to any audit verification, conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all parties claiming through or under them.
(g)Valuation Committee. In the event the Partnership has an investment, Security or position that cannot readily be valued using the methodology set forth in this Section 7.2, a valuation committee affiliated with the General Partner will meet as needed to discuss and determine the value of such investment, Security or position.
Section 7.3 Determinations by the General Partner.
(a)General Partner Determinations Binding. All matters concerning the determination and allocation among the Partners of the amounts to be determined and allocated pursuant to Section 3.4 through Section 3.13 hereof, including any taxes thereon and accounting procedures applicable thereto, are and will be determined by the General Partner in good faith unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations are final and binding on all the Partners.
(b)General Partner Adjustments. The General Partner may make such adjustments to the computation of any of the memorandum accounts maintained pursuant to this Agreement or any component items comprising any of the foregoing as it considers reasonably appropriate to reflect the financial results of the Partnership and the intended allocation thereof among the Partners in a reasonably accurate, fair and efficient manner.
Section 7.4Books and Records; Register.
(a)General. The General Partner shall maintain (or arrange for the maintenance) and keep (or cause to be kept) books and records of the Partnership showing all Assets and liabilities,
-50-


receipts and disbursements, gains and losses, and all transactions entered into by the Partnership. Such books and records of the Partnership shall be kept, in accordance with the ELP Law, at the Partnership’s office or at the office of an agent of the Partnership. The General Partner shall cause to be maintained at the principal office of the Partnership, or at such other place as the ELP Law may permit, a register of limited partnership interests which shall include such information as may be required by the ELP Law (the “Register”). The Register shall not be part of this Agreement. The General Partner shall, from time to time, update the Register as required by the ELP Law to accurately reflect the information therein and no action of any Limited Partner shall be required to amend or update the Register. The Limited Partners shall have the right to inspect the Register. Any reference in this Agreement to the Register shall be deemed a reference to the Register as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the General Partner may take any action authorized hereunder in respect of the Register, including making the Register available at the registered office to satisfy any order or notice pursuant to the Tax Information Authority Law (as amended) without any need to obtain the consent of any other Partner
(b)Retention of Books and Records. The General Partner shall retain, or arrange for the retention, for a period of at least six years, copies of any documents it deems pertinent generated or received by the General Partner in the ordinary course of business pertaining to the Partnership or to the compensation allocable to the General Partner or payable to the Investment Advisor. The General Partner shall afford to Greenlight Re’s or GRIL’s independent auditors reasonable access to such documents during customary business hours and shall permit Greenlight Re’s and/or GRIL’s auditors to make copies thereof or extracts therefrom at the expense of Greenlight Re or GRIL, as the case may be.
Section 7.5Greenlight Re or GRIL Board Meeting. At the request of Greenlight Re or GRIL, as applicable, and subject to reasonable prior notice, the General Partner shall endeavor to make one of the General Partner’s or the Investment Advisor’s representatives available to attend the meetings of such party’s Board, or meetings with such party’s management (in either case in person or telephonically) to report on the Partnership’s activities and on other matters pertaining to the Partnership.

Section 8.2Special Power of Attorney.
(a)Power of Attorney. Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner (and each of its successors and permitted assigns), with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact of, and in the name, place
-51-


and stead of, such Partner with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file or publish:
(i)an amendment to this Agreement that complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 8.1); and
(ii)all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be required by the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership determines to do business, or which such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence and business of the Partnership as a limited partnership or to effect the dissolution or termination of the Partnership.
(b)Certain Acknowledgments. Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without such Limited Partner’s consent. If any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken by the General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert with respect to such action, the General Partner in its sole discretion is authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may be necessary or appropriate to permit such action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully aware that each other Partner relies on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership. This power-of-attorney is a special power-of-attorney and is intended to secure a proprietary interest and as such:
(i)is irrevocable and continues in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner has had notice thereof; and
(ii)survives the delivery of an assignment by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its Interest, except that where the assignee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power-of-attorney given by the assignor survives the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns as set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 hereof, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder are not assignable, transferable or delegable except as provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof which is not made pursuant to the terms hereof is void.

Section 8.5Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a)Governing Law. The Agreement and the rights of the Partners hereunder are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof.
(b)Jurisdiction. Each party hereto submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York, New York in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action may be heard and determined in any such court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action so brought will be conclusive and may be enforced by action on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law or in equity. Each party hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.
Section 8.6Not for Benefit of Third Parties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to a Covered Person, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Law, 2014 (as amended from time to time) to enforce any term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement, the consent of or notice to any person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not
-54-


be required for any termination, rescission or agreement to any variation, waiver, assignment, novation, release or settlement under this Agreement at any time.
Section 8.7Consents. Any and all consents, agreements or approvals provided for or permitted by this Agreement must be in writing and a signed copy thereof must be filed and kept with the books of the Partnership.

(a)Captions. The captions and titles preceding the text of each section hereof shall be disregarded in the construction of this Agreement.
(b)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original hereof.
(c)Ambiguities. The Partners and the other parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Partners and the other parties hereto intend that this Agreement be construed as if drafted jointly by the Partners and that no presumption or burden of proof arise favoring or disfavoring any Partner by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law is deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.

(d)Representations and Warranties. The Partners and the other parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein has independent significance. If any Partner or other party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that such Partner or such other party hereto has not breached does not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Partner or such other party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
(e)Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Currency hedging activities are excluded from leverage calculations: In addition to currency hedging, where the Investment Advisor enters into a secondary investment with the primary purpose of reducing the risk of another existing investment then the investment advisor may exclude the secondary investment from the calculation of leverage provided that the Investment Advisor receives approval from Greenlight Re’s Chief Financial Officer. Such authority is limited such that no more than 10% of gross exposure may be excluded from leverage calculations and may be netted from the primary investment for concentration limits.
