WHEREAS, Section 901 of the Original Indenture provides that the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee may, from time to time, enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto to establish a new series of Securities and add certain provisions to the Original Indenture;

WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Original Indenture provides that the Company may enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto to establish the form and terms of a series of Securities issued pursuant to the Original Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company, pursuant to the foregoing authority, proposes in and by this First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”) to supplement the Original Indenture insofar as it will apply as and to the extent provided herein only to the series of securities to be known as the Company’s “—% Senior Notes due 20—— ” (the “Notes”), issued hereunder (and not to any other series);

(10) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at the Change of Control Repurchase Price, all as more fully provided in Section 1.10 of this Supplemental Indenture.

-8-

SECTION 1.06 Redemption.

(1) The Company shall mail notice of redemption (a “Notice of Redemption”), to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Original Indenture. Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Original Indenture, however, the Notice of Redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price or an estimate thereof, but only the appropriate calculation thereof. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Notice of Redemption is to be mailed.

(2) On the Redemption Date, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest), such Notes shall cease to bear interest.

SECTION 1.07 Additional Covenants. The following shall be additional covenants to the covenants set forth in the Original Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes only and shall be effective only so long as the Notes are outstanding:

(1) Limitation on Liens. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money if such indebtedness is secured by a pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any common shares of any Subsidiary, without providing that each series of Securities and, at the Guarantor’s option, any other indebtedness ranking equally and ratably with such indebtedness, is secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such other secured indebtedness.

SECTION 1.08 Interest Rate Adjustment. The Interest Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time if at least two Rating Agencies downgrade (or subsequently upgrade) the debt rating applicable to the Notes (a “rating”) as set forth below.

If the ratings from at least two Rating Agencies are decreased to ratings set forth in the immediately following table, the Interest Rate shall be increased by the sum of the percentages set forth opposite the two lowest ratings from such rating agencies as set forth below:


Fitch Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment		S&P Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment		Xxxxx’x Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment
BB+	0.25	%	BB+	0.25	%	Ba1	0.25	%
BB	0.50	%	BB	0.50	%	Ba2	0.50	%
BB-	0.75	%	BB-	0.75	%	Ba3	0.75	%
B+ or below	1.00	%	B+ or below	1.00	%	B1 or below	1.00	%

-9-

If subsequent to a decrease at least two Rating Agencies increase or decrease their rating to any of the ratings set forth above, the Interest Rate will be increased or decreased so that it equals the Interest Rate plus (if applicable) the sum of the percentages set forth opposite the applicable ratings from the table above in effect immediately following the increase or decrease for the Rating Agencies that increased or decreased their ratings.

Each adjustment to the Interest Rate required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above (an “interest rate adjustment”), by any of the Rating Agencies, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments, provided that if the ratings from each of the three Rating Agencies are increased or decreased to ratings set forth in the table above, then only the lowest two of the three ratings shall be used for such interest rate adjustments. In no event shall (1) the Interest Rate be reduced to below the interest rate set forth in Section 1.01(7) above, and (2) the total increase in the Interest Rate exceed 2.00% above the interest rate set forth in Section 1.01(7) above.

If at least two Rating Agencies cease to provide ratings for the Notes, any subsequent increase or decrease in the Interest Rate necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the Rating Agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage corresponding to the applicable rating set forth in the table above. No adjustments in the Interest Rate shall be made solely as a result of two Rating Agencies ceasing to provide a rating. If all of the Rating Agencies cease to provide a rating, the Interest Rate will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate set forth in Section 1.01(7) above.

Any interest rate adjustment will take effect from the first day of the Interest Period during which a rating change requires an increase or decrease in the Interest Rate. If the applicable interest rate adjusts up and then subsequently adjusts down during the same Interest Period, the Interest Rate shall be determined based on the ratings in effect at the end of the Interest Period.

The Company will notify the Trustee promptly of any interest rate adjustment.

SECTION 1.09 Additional Amounts. With respect to any payments made by the Guarantor of the Notes, the Guarantor will make all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on (whether on scheduled payment dates or upon acceleration) and the Redemption Price, if any, payable in respect of any Note without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge, including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto (“Taxes”), imposed or levied by or on behalf of Bermuda or any other jurisdiction in which the Guarantor is engaged in business, resident for tax purposes or generally subject to tax on a net income basis, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing, unless the Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

-10-

To the extent that the Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on account of, such Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”), as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts), after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.

As used herein and for purposes of the Original Indenture and the Notes, any reference, in any context other than the case of Section 502(1) of the Original Indenture, to payment of the principal (and premium, if any), the Redemption Price, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, shall be deemed to include a reference to the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable by the Guarantor in respect thereof.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.09 shall survive any termination or discharge of the Indenture and any Defeasance of the Notes.

SECTION 1.10 Repurchase upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(1) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all Notes in accordance with the redemption terms as set forth in the Notes and the Indenture, the Company shall make an irrevocable offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to or in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes at the Change of Control Repurchase Price.

(2) Within 30 days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but in either case, after the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall mail to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:

(a) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event;

(b) offering to repurchase all Notes tendered;

(d) if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, stating that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date specified in such notice;

-11-

(e) disclosing that any Note not tendered for repurchase will continue to accrue interest; and

(f) specifying the procedures for tendering Notes.

(3) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

(4) On the Change of Control Repurchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(a) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to such offer;

(b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and

(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Company stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Company.

(5) Unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Change of Control Repurchase Price and interest, if any, on the Notes that are validly surrendered for purchase, interest on the Notes validly surrendered for purchase will cease to accrue on and after the Change of Control Repurchase Date.

(6) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Repurchase Price, and the Authenticating Agent, upon the execution and delivery by the Company, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(7) The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

-12-

SECTION 1.11 Additional Event of Default. The following shall be an additional Event of Default to the Events of Default set forth in the Original Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes only and shall be effective only so long as the Notes are outstanding:

(1) a failure of the Company to repurchase Securities of each series tendered for repurchase following the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event in conformity with Section 1.10 above.

SECTION 1.12 Reports

So long as any Notes are outstanding, if the Guarantor is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, which includes: (1) all quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K; and (2) all current reports on Form 8-K.
