(iii) In consideration for the contemplated decrease of activity, for each subsequent year the Annual Fee shall be multiplied by a Decrease Rate equal to the number of technical balances created in connection with each underwriting year divided by the number of technical balances created in connection with the preceding year. For the avoidance of doubt the Parties agree that the number of technical balances through November 30^th 2006 for policies issued in 2006 is 14215.

(iv) For the sake of clarity, at the end of the first quarter 2008 (“2008Q1”), AXA LM shall issue an invoice for an amount to be calculated as follows:

2008Q1 = (900,000/4) x (1+Variation of CPI) x DR

In this example, DR is equal to:

Number of technical balances created at the end of 2008Q1 [(total number of technical balances created in 2007)/4]

(2) In addition to the Annual Fee PARIS RE has agreed to pay to ALM a fixed Service Fee equal to 14 % of the Annual Fee and a Performance Fee based on six Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are described below and set out the performance target to be achieved by ALM.

(i) KPIs

(a)

Level of collection of PMD within 3 months of due date: average of 90 % in amount of premiums per quarter

(b)

Level of collection of PMD within 3 months of due date: average of 98 % in amount of premiums per year

(c)

Level of collection of other receivables within 3 months of due date: average of 80 % in amount of premiums per quarter

(d)

Level of collection of other receivables within 3 months of due date: average of 90 % in amount of premiums per year

-6-

(e)

Processing time on statements of accounts for all major brokers (as defined in the list indicated below in clause V): 15 business days

(f)

Processing time on letter of credits draw downs and establishment: within ten business days (Processing time means the number of business days between date of notification of draw down or creation by cedant/broker and the date of actual draw down or creation of letter of credits)

(ii) Calculation of the Performance Fee

The Performance Fee shall be of 1 % of the Annual Fee in connection with each KPI provided always that:

(a)

ALM must achieve at least 85 % of the target KPI in order to be eligible for a Performance Fee for that KPI

(b)

Performance between 85 and 100 % of the target KPI entitles ALM to the similar number of basis points for the applicable KPI (e.g. when performance reaches 92 % of the KPI, 92 bp are attributed for the applicable KPI)

(c)

The Performance Fee may not exceed 6 % per year

For the sake of clarity, it is reminded that one basis point (bp) equals to one hundredth of a percent (0.01 %).

(U) Access to books and records: ALM shall provide PARIS RE with reasonable access (during normal business hours, without undue disruption to the business of ALM) on an ongoing basis to books, records, documents, data and information relevant to Additional Services and to verify the satisfaction of KPI in respect of this Schedule.

2. The “total cost of each department” shall mean all costs directly incurred or indirectly allocated to each department. Direct costs include, but are not limited, to the employment cost of the personnel working in the relevant department. Indirect costs include, but are not limited to, the share of the occupancy costs, IT costs and other overhead costs allocated to each department.

3. The “percentage of time” shall be calculated based on declaration of time spent by the personnel of the relevant department to provide Services that should be remunerated pursuant to Section 8.3(a). Such declared time shall then be divided by the total time worked by the personnel of the relevant department during the applicable period in order to obtain the percentage.
