The Parties knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights they may have under any statute or any common law principle that would limit the effect of the foregoing releases based upon their knowledge (or otherwise) at the time they execute this Deed of Release.

all necessary action to obtain the relevant orders from the Bermuda Court in terms of the Consent Orders of Discontinuance as shown in Schedules 2 to 4 and the Company shall and shall irrevocably instruct its lawyers representing it in those proceedings to render any reasonable assistance to enable such court orders to be granted.

jurisdiction finds (after any applicable appeals or the expiration of any time for filing an appeal) that the claim, proceedings or investigation is based upon, arises out of or was made, commenced or initiated in connection with any fraud or dishonesty (including any fraudulent misrepresentation) committed by the Resigning Party.

(f) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, at any time during which the indemnification obligations provided for in Clauses 4(d) and 4(e) remain in effect, take any action in conflict with such indemnification obligations, including, but not limited to, amending the Bye-Laws of the Company with regard to such indemnification obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Resigning Parties agree to use all reasonable efforts to first seek recovery under the Existing Policy or any renewal referred to in Clause 4(d) (“the Renewal Policy”) prior to asserting any claim for indemnification under Clauses 4(d) and 4(e).

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties hereby waive any provisions of such law that renders any provision of this Deed of Release prohibited in any respect.

Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve such processes, notices or other papers in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

This Deed of Release shall be governed by the laws of Bermuda and the Courts of Bermuda shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising hereunder. Each of the Parties hereto submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Bermuda as the venue for any disputes hereunder and waives any objection it may have to the commencement of proceedings in any such court, waives any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and waives the right to object that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party.

vi.

This Deed of Release shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, agents, servants, directors, officers, volunteers, heirs, executors, liquidators, receivers, assigns and administrators of the Parties hereto, but none of the rights, benefits or obligations of the Parties under this Deed of Release shall be assignable in any way.

vii.

This Deed of Release cannot be amended, modified or revised unless done in a writing and by each and every one of the Parties as a Deed or by order of the Court. No provision may be waived except in writing signed by the Party to be charged.

viii.

This Deed of Release shall be considered as drafted jointly by the Parties, and no uncertainty or ambiguity found in the terms hereof shall be construed for or against any Party based on an attribution of drafting to any one Party.

ix.

After the execution of this Deed of Release, each Party, at the reasonable request of any other Party, shall take such actions and shall furnish, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, notices, or other further assurances as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect complete consummation of this Deed of Release.

xii.

In case of any conflict between this Deed of Release and any other agreement between and among any of the Parties hereto relating to the settlement of the Claims, the provisions of this Deed of Release shall govern.
