NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012

(Tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

1.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation and Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. Results of operations for subsidiaries acquired are included from the dates of their acquisition by the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refer to Enstar Group Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period reported amounts of investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses, net premiums earned - life and annuities, life and annuity policy benefits and losses and loss adjustment expenses to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income or net earnings previously reported.

Significant New Accounting Policies

As a result of the acquisitions of SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”) and five companies from a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc (the “Pavonia companies”), each described in Note 2 — “Acquisitions”, the Company has adopted certain new significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Other than the policies described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(a) Premium revenue recognition

Non-life run-off

Premiums written are earned on a pro-rata basis over the period the coverage is provided. Reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy, unless policy language stipulates otherwise, and are estimated based upon information in underlying contracts and information provided by clients and/or brokers. Changes in reinsurance premium estimates are expected and may result in significant adjustments in future periods. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding changes in underlying exposures is obtained. Any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded as premiums written in the period they are determined.

Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Premiums ceded are similarly pro-rated over the period the coverage is provided with the unearned portion being deferred as prepaid reinsurance premiums.

Certain contracts that the Company has written are retrospectively rated and additional premium would be due should losses exceed pre-determined, contractual thresholds. These required additional premiums are based upon contractual terms and management judgment is involved with respect to the estimate of the amount of losses that the Company expects to be ceded. Additional premiums are recognized at the time loss thresholds specified in the contract are exceeded and are earned over the coverage period, or are earned immediately if the

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

1.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (cont’d)

period of risk coverage has passed. Changes in estimates of losses recorded on contracts with additional premium features will result in changes in additional premiums based on contractual terms.

Life and annuities

The Pavonia companies, prior to going into run-off, wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities. The Pavonia companies will continue to recognize premiums on term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability insurance.

Premiums from term life insurance, credit life and disability insurance and assumed life reinsurance are generally recognized as revenue when due from policyholders. Term life, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability policies include those contracts with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits. Benefits and expenses are matched with such revenue to result in the recognition of profit over the life of the contracts.

(b) Premiums Receivable

Non-life Run-off

Premiums receivable represent amounts currently due and amounts not yet due on insurance and reinsurance policies. Premiums for insurance policies are generally due at inception. Premiums for reinsurance policies generally become due over the period of coverage based on the policy terms. The Company monitors the credit risk associated with premiums receivable, taking into consideration that credit risk is reduced by the Company’s contractual right to offset loss obligations or unearned premiums against premiums receivable. Amounts deemed uncollectible are charged to net earnings in the period they are determined. Changes in the estimate of premiums written will result in an adjustment to premiums receivable in the period they are determined. Certain contracts are retrospectively rated and provide for a final adjustment to the premium based on the final settlement of all losses. Premiums receivable on such contracts are adjusted based on the estimate of losses the Company expects to incur, and are not considered due until all losses are settled.

(c) Life and annuity benefits

The Company’s life and annuity benefit and claim reserves are calculated using standard actuarial techniques and cash flow models in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 944, Financial Services — Insurance. The Company establishes and maintains its life and annuity reserves at a level that the Company estimates will, when taken together with future premium payments and investment income expected to be earned on associated premiums, be sufficient to support all future cash flow benefit obligations and third party servicing obligations as they become payable. The Company reviews its life and annuity reserves regularly and performs loss recognition testing based upon cash flow projections.

Since the development of the life and annuity reserves is based upon cash flow projection models, the Company must make estimates and assumptions based on experience and industry mortality tables, longevity and morbidity rates, lapse rates, expenses and investment experience, including a provision for adverse deviation. The assumptions used to determine policy benefit reserves are determined at the inception of the contracts, reviewed and adjusted at the point of acquisition as required, and are locked-in throughout the life of the contract

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

1.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (cont’d)

unless a premium deficiency develops. The assumptions are reviewed no less than annually and are unlocked if they would result in a material adverse reserve change. The Company establishes these estimates based upon transaction-specific historical experience, information provided by the ceding company for the assumed business and industry experience. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. As the experience on the contracts emerges, the assumptions are reviewed by management. The Company determines whether actual and anticipated experience indicates that existing policy reserves, together with the present value of future gross premiums, are sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits, settlement and maintenance costs and to recover unamortized acquisition costs. If such a review indicates that reserves should be greater than those currently held, then the locked-in assumptions are revised and a charge for life and annuity benefits is recognized at that time.

Because of the many assumptions and estimates used in establishing reserves and the long-term nature of the contracts, the reserving process, while based on actuarial techniques, is inherently uncertain.

(d) Investments

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments

Short-term investments comprise investments with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. Fixed maturities comprise investments with a maturity of one year and greater from the date of purchase.

Short-term investments and fixed maturities classified as trading are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized holding gains and losses included in net earnings and reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are based upon specific identification of the cost of investments.

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. The cost of short-term investments and fixed maturities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amortization of premium or discount is recognized using the effective yield method and included in net investment income. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments, and any other holdings for which there is a prepayment risk, prepayment assumptions are evaluated and revised on a regular basis.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are reviewed quarterly to determine if they have sustained an impairment of value that is, based on management’s judgement, considered to be other than temporary. The process includes reviewing each fixed maturity investment that is below cost and: (1) determining if the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment; (2) determining if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery; and (3) assessing whether a credit loss exists, that is, whether the Company expects that the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed maturity investment is less than the amortized cost basis of the investment. In evaluating credit losses, the Company considers a variety of factors in the assessment of a fixed maturity investment including: (1) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost; (2) the extent of the decline below cost and par; (3) the potential for the

investment to recover in value; (4) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer; (5) the rating of the issuer; and (6) failure of the issuer of the investment to make scheduled interest or principal payments. If management concludes an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”), then the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the investment is presented as an OTTI charge in the consolidated statements of earnings, with an offset for any noncredit-related loss component of the OTTI charge to be recognized in other comprehensive income. Accordingly, only the credit loss component of the OTTI amount would have an impact on the Company’s earnings.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013

ASU 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2013-02, Presentation of Items Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements for items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance requires entities to disclose in a single location (either on the face of the financial statement that reports net earnings or in the notes) the effects of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to improve the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with both early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

Amalgamation Agreement

On July 8, 2013, the Company, Veranda Holdings Ltd (“Veranda”), an entity in which the Company owns an indirect 60% interest through its 60% interest in Bayshore Holdings Limited (“Bayshore”), Hudson Securityholders Representative LLC and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited (“Torus”) entered into an Agreement

and Plan of Amalgamation (the “Amalgamation Agreement”). The Amalgamation Agreement provides for the amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) of Veranda and Torus (the combined entity, the “Amalgamated Company”). Torus is a global specialty insurer and holding company of six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including one Lloyd’s syndicate.

The purchase price for the Amalgamation is $692.0 million. The Company and Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (its wholly-owned subsidiary) (“Kenmare”) will provide 60% of the purchase price and related expenses of the Amalgamation. Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Trident”), the owner of the remaining 40% interest in Bayshore, the parent company of Veranda, will provide 40% of the purchase price and related expenses associated with the Amalgamation. The Company will issue a combination of approximately 1,901,000 voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Voting Ordinary Shares”), and approximately 711,000 newly-created Series B convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Non-Voting Preferred Shares”), having an aggregate value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price. Kenmare will contribute in cash approximately $69.2 million and Trident will contribute in cash the remaining approximately $276.8 million of the purchase price. Following the Amalgamation, the Company and Trident will continue to own, respectively, a 60% and 40% indirect interest in the Amalgamated Company through their ownership of Bayshore.

FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P. (collectively, “First Reserve”) will receive Voting Ordinary Shares, Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. In the event that the number of Voting Ordinary Shares deliverable to First Reserve at the closing of the Amalgamation would cause First Reserve, as of immediately after such closing, to beneficially own Voting Ordinary Shares that constitute more than 9.5% of the voting power of all shares of the Company, then the Company will issue to First Reserve, at the closing, the total number of shares of Voting Ordinary Shares representing 9.5% of the voting power of all shares of the Company as of immediately after the closing and Non-Voting Preferred Shares representing the remainder of the shares that First Reserve is entitled to under the Amalgamation Agreement. Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P. (“Corsair”) will receive both Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders will receive all cash. Following the Amalgamation, First Reserve will own approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Company’s Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital and Corsair will own approximately 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively, of the Company’s Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.

The Company and First Reserve will enter into a Shareholder Rights Agreement at the closing of the Amalgamation, under which the Company has agreed that First Reserve will have the right to designate one representative to the Company’s Board of Directors. This designation right terminates if First Reserve ceases to beneficially own at least 75% of the total number of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares acquired by it under the Amalgamation Agreement.

The Company will also enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation that provides First Reserve and Corsair with certain rights to cause the Company to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Voting Ordinary Shares (including the Voting Ordinary Shares into which the Non-Voting Preferred Shares may convert) issued pursuant to the Amalgamation and any securities issued by the Company in connection with the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or similar reorganization (the foregoing, collectively, “Registrable Securities”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must file a resale shelf registration statement for the Registrable Securities within 20 business days after the closing of the Amalgamation. In addition, at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Amalgamation, First Reserve will be entitled to make three written requests for the Company to register all or any part of the Registrable Securities under the Act, subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Corsair will have the right to make one such request. First Reserve and Corsair will also be granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the Company’s registration of Voting Ordinary Shares for its own account or for the account of one or more of its securityholders.

Trident Co-investment in Torus

In connection with the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company, Kenmare and Trident entered an Investors Agreement on July 8, 2013 governing their investments in Bayshore, and Kenmare and Trident entered into individual equity commitment letters obligating each to fund its respective portion of the purchase price for the Amalgamation noted above. Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Amalgamation Agreement.

Upon the funding of the equity commitments at the closing of the Amalgamation, Kenmare and Trident have agreed to enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement”). Among other things, the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement will provide that Kenmare would appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident would appoint two members.

The Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party (the “Restricted Period”). Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Bayshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.

During the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Amalgamation, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident’s shares in Bayshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident’s shares for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering the Company’s ordinary voting shares.

Atrium and Arden

Acquisition Agreements

On June 5, 2013, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Arden Holdings Limited under which the Company will acquire Atrium Underwriting Group Limited (“Atrium”) and Arden Reinsurance Company Limited (“Arden”). Atrium is an underwriting business at Lloyd’s of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately one quarter of the syndicate’s capital. Atrium specializes in accident and health, aviation, marine property, non-marine property, professional liability, property and casualty binding authorities, reinsurance, upstream energy, war and terrorism insurance, cargo and fine art. Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to Atrium and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses.

The purchase price for Atrium will be approximately $183.0 million and the purchase price for Arden will be approximately $79.6 million. Completion of each transaction is conditioned on, among other things, governmental and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. The two transactions are governed by separate purchase agreements and the acquisition of each company is not conditioned on the acquisition of the other. Both transactions are currently expected to close by the end of 2013.

Trident Co-investment in Atrium and Arden

On July 3, 2013, Kenmare entered into an Investors Agreement with Trident with respect to the acquisitions of Atrium and Arden, pursuant to which Trident acquired a 40% interest in Northshore Holdings Ltd., previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenmare (“Northshore”). In connection with the Investors Agreement, Kenmare and Trident provided individual equity commitment letters to Northshore pursuant to which Kenmare and Trident agreed to provide 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Atrium and Arden purchase prices and related expenses. Kenmare expects to fund its equity commitment from available cash on hand.

Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Atrium and Arden purchase agreements. In the event that the Arden acquisition closes, but the Atrium acquisition does not close, Trident’s obligations under its commitment letter would terminate as to both companies and Trident would return its 40% interest in Northshore to Kenmare.

Upon the funding of the equity commitments at the closing of the Atrium and Arden transactions, Kenmare and Trident have agreed to enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement”). Among other things, the Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement will provide that Kenmare would appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident would appoint two members.

SeaBright

On February 7, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of SeaBright, through the merger of its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, AML Acquisition, Corp. (“AML Acquisition”), with and into SeaBright (the “Merger”), with SeaBright surviving the Merger as the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. SeaBright owns SeaBright Insurance Company, an Illinois-domiciled insurer that is commercially domiciled in California, which wrote direct workers’ compensation business. The aggregate cash purchase price paid by the Company for all equity securities of SeaBright was approximately $252.1 million, which was funded in part with $111.0 million borrowed under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank and Barclays Bank PLC.

Immediately following the acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off, and accordingly is no longer writing new insurance policies. Since its acquisition, SeaBright had renewed expiring insurance policies when it was obligated to do so by regulators, but has now received approvals from all states relieving it of this obligation.

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright from the date of the acquisition to June 30, 2013 totaled $16.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Because SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process was approved, we expect that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written.

The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the SeaBright acquisition were as follows:


Purchase price	$	252,091

Net assets acquired at fair value	$	252,091

The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

Pavonia

On March 31, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pavonia Holdings (US), Inc. (“Pavonia”), completed the acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware (“HLIC DE”) and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware (“HSBC DE”) from Household Insurance Group Holding Company, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc. HLIC DE and HSBC DE are both Delaware-domiciled insurers in run-off. HLIC DE owns three other insurers domiciled in Michigan, New York, and Arizona, which are also in run-off (collectively with HLIC DE and HSBC DE, the “Pavonia companies”). The aggregate cash purchase price was $155.6 million and was financed in part by a drawing of $55.7 million under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Pavonia companies wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities.

The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the Pavonia acquisition were as follows:

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity represent impairment losses that are other-than-temporary and whether a credit loss exists in accordance with its accounting policies. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, the Company considers various factors including its future cash flow requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, the level of its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments available-for-sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses due to required sales. The Company determined that, as at June 30, 2013, no credit losses existed.

Other Investments

The estimated fair values of the Company’s other investments were as follows:


	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Private equity funds	$	150,932	$	127,696
Fixed income funds		156,625		156,235
Fixed income hedge funds		62,039		53,933

Real estate debt fund		31,928		16,179
Other		4,415		4,921

	$	468,412	$	414,845

These investments are discussed in further detail below.

Private equity funds

This class is comprised of several private equity funds that invest primarily in the financial services industry. All of the Company’s investments in private equity funds are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents and limit the Company’s ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions have been in place since the dates the initial investments were made by the Company.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $150.9 million and $127.7 million, respectively, of other investments recorded in private equity funds, which represented 2.4% and 3.0% of total investments, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Due to a lag in the valuations reported by the managers, the Company records changes in the investment value with up to a three-month lag. Management regularly reviews and discusses fund performance with their fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values and to assess whether any events have occurred within the lag period that would affect the valuation of the investments.

Fixed income funds

This class is comprised of a number of positions in diversified fixed income funds that are managed by third party managers. Underlying investments vary from high grade corporate bonds to non-investment grade senior secured loans and bonds, but are generally invested in liquid fixed income markets. These funds have regularly published prices. The funds have liquidity terms that vary from daily to monthly.

Fixed income hedge funds

This class is comprised of hedge funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. The hedge funds are not currently eligible for redemption due to imposed lock-up periods of three years from the time of the Company’s initial investment. Once eligible, redemptions will be permitted quarterly with 90 days’ notice. The first investment in the funds will be eligible for redemption in March 2014.

Equity fund

This class is comprised of an equity fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of international publicly-traded equity securities.

Real estate debt fund

This class is comprised of a real estate debt fund that invests primarily in U.S. commercial real estate loans and securities. A redemption request for this fund can be made 10 days after the date of any monthly valuation; the fund states that it will make commercially reasonable efforts to redeem the investment within the next monthly period.

Other

This class is primarily comprised of a fund that provides loans to educational institutions throughout the U.S. and its territories. Through these investments, the Company participates in the performance of the underlying loans. This investment matures when the loans are paid down and cannot be redeemed before maturity.

Redemption restrictions on other investments

Certain funds included in other investments are subject to a lock-up period. A lock-up period refers to the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to invest before having the ability to redeem the investment. Funds that do provide for periodic redemptions may, depending on the funds’ governing documents, have the ability to deny or delay a redemption request, which is called a “gate.” The fund may restrict redemptions because the aggregate amount of redemption requests as of a particular date exceeds a specified level. The gate is a method for executing an orderly redemption process that allows for redemption requests to be executed in a timely manner to reduce the possibility of adversely affecting the remaining investors in the fund. Typically, the imposition of a gate delays a portion of the requested redemption, with the remaining portion to be settled in cash sometime after the redemption date.

Certain funds included in other investments may be allowed to invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, such as private equity or convertible debt. In such cases, a common mechanism used is a “side-pocket,” whereby the illiquid security is assigned to a separate memorandum capital account or designated account. Typically, the investor loses its redemption rights in the designated account. Only when the illiquid security is sold, or is otherwise deemed liquid by the fund, may investors redeem their interest in the side-pocket.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no investments subject to gates or side-pockets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:

•

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

•

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or for which significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgment about assumptions that market participants might use.

The following is a summary of valuation techniques or models the Company uses to measure fair value by asset and liability classes.

Fixed Maturity Investments

The Company’s fixed maturity portfolio is managed by the Company’s Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors with oversight from the Company’s Investment Committee. Fair values for all securities in the fixed maturities portfolio are independently provided by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider and investment managers, each of which utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services. Interactive Data Corporation is, however, the main pricing service utilized to estimate the fair value measurements for the Company’s fixed maturity investments. The Company records the unadjusted price provided by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider or the investment manager and validates this price through a process that includes, but is not limited to: (i) comparison of prices against alternative pricing sources; (ii) quantitative analysis (e.g. comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark); (iii) evaluation of methodologies used by external parties to estimate fair value, including a review of the inputs used for pricing; and (iv) comparing the price to the Company’s knowledge of the current investment market. The Company’s internal price validation procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services have not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service.

The independent pricing services used by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider and investment managers obtain actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. For determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded, in general, pricing services use “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing service uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and such other inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value. In addition, pricing services use valuation models, using observable data, such as an Option Adjusted Spread model, to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The Option Adjusted Spread model is commonly used to estimate fair value for securities such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments by asset class.

•

U.S. government and agency securities consist of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Non-U.S. government securities consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and agencies along with supranational organizations. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Corporate securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, benchmark yields, and industry and market indicators. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at June 30, 2013, the Company had one corporate security classified as Level 3.

•

Municipal securities consist primarily of bonds issued by U.S.-domiciled state and municipal entities. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes and benchmark yields. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Asset-backed securities consist primarily of investment-grade bonds backed by pools of loans with a variety of underlying collateral. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities include both agency and non-agency originated securities. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at June 30, 2013, the Company had no residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities classified as Level 3.

Equities

The Company’s equities are predominantly traded on the major exchanges and are primarily managed by two external advisors. The Company uses Interactive Data Corporation, an internationally recognized pricing service, to estimate the fair value for all of its equities. The Company’s equities are widely diversified and there is no significant concentration in any specific industry.

The Company has categorized all of its investments in equities as Level 1 investments because the fair values of these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Because their fair value estimates are based on observable market data, the Company has categorized its investments in preferred stock as Level 2, with the exception of one investment in preferred stock that has been categorized as Level 3.

Other Investments

The Company has ongoing due diligence processes with respect to funds in which it invests and their managers. These processes are designed to assist the Company in assessing the quality of information provided by, or on behalf of, each fund and in determining whether such information continues to be reliable or whether further review is warranted. Certain funds do not provide full transparency of their underlying holdings; however, the Company obtains the audited financial statements for funds annually, and regularly reviews and discusses the

fund performance with the fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. While reported net asset value is the primary input to the review, when the net asset value is deemed not to be indicative of fair value, the Company may incorporate adjustments to the reported net asset value (and not use the permitted practical expedient) on an investment by investment basis. These adjustments may involve significant management judgment.

For its investments in private equity funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently provided capital statement from the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The funds calculate net asset value on a fair value basis. For all publicly-traded companies within these funds, the Company adjusts the reported net asset value based on the latest share price as of the Company’s reporting date. The Company has classified its investments in private equity funds as Level 3.

The fixed income funds and equity fund in which the Company invests have been classified as Level 2 investments because their fair value is estimated using the published net asset value and because the fixed income funds and equity fund are highly liquid.

For its investments in fixed income hedge funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently published net asset value as advised by the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The investments in the funds are classified as Level 3.

The real estate debt fund in which the Company invests has been valued based on the most recent published net asset value. This investment has been classified as Level 3.

The Company’s remaining other investments are valued based on the latest available capital statements and have been classified as Level 3.

Non-life run-off

The Company’s acquired insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. The Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, the Company evaluates and monitors concentration of credit risk among its reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.14 billion and $1.12 billion, respectively. The increase of $14.0 million in total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the completion of acquisitions in the period partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was $338.3 million and $343.9 million, respectively. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers. This determination is based on a detailed process, although management judgment is involved. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of June 30, 2013 decreased to 22.9% as compared to 23.4% as of December 31, 2012,

primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of companies acquired during the period against which there were minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable.

The fair value adjustments, determined on acquisition of insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, are based on the estimated timing of loss and loss adjustment expense recoveries and an assumed interest rate equivalent to a risk free rate for securities with similar duration to the reinsurance recoverables acquired plus a spread to reflect credit risk, and are amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations in timing of payments as a result of commutation settlements.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s top ten reinsurers accounted for 64.8% and 63.1%, respectively, of total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (which includes loss reserves recoverable and recoverables on paid losses) and included $218.6 million and $194.5 million, respectively, of IBNR reserves recoverable. With the exception of one BBB+ rated reinsurer from which $45.6 million was recoverable (December 31, 2012: $37.7 million), the other top ten reinsurers, as at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were all rated A- or better. Reinsurance balances recoverable by reinsurer were as follows:


	June 30, 2013					December 31, 2012
	Reinsurance Balances Recoverable		% of Total			Reinsurance Balances Recoverable		% of Total
Top ten reinsurers	$	736,093		64.8	%	$	708,953		63.1	%
Other reinsurers’ balances > $1 million		384,105		33.8	%		409,666		36.5	%

Total	$	1,136,634		100.0	%	$	1,122,919		100.0	%

As at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, reinsurance balances recoverable with a carrying value of $252.4 million and $144.1 million, respectively, were associated with two and one reinsurers, respectively, which represented 10% or more of total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable. Of the $252.4 million and $144.1 million recoverable from reinsurers as at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $93.0 million and $121.6 million, respectively, is secured by a trust fund held for the benefit of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. As at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the two and one reinsurers, respectively, had a minimum credit rating of A+, as provided by a major rating agency.

8.	LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES — (cont’d)

Net change in case and loss adjustment expense reserves (“LAE reserves”) comprises the movement during the quarter in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to the Company by its policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by the Company to its reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in IBNR reserves represents the change in the Company’s actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $21.7 million included incurred losses of $41.2 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $41.2 million, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $62.9 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.8 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.4 million.

Excluding the impact of losses incurred of $41.2 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million was primarily related to:

(i)

the Company’s review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $8.3 million;

(ii)

net favorable incurred loss development of $25.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $8.3 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Company’s top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of its Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $68.4 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.4 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $0.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $11.7 million, relating to 2012 runoff activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.2 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $36.0 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $22.4 million, primarily related to the completion of six commutations of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of the Company’s largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was among the Company’s largest ten reinsurance balances recoverable as at January 1, 2012.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $10.2 million included incurred losses of $72.1 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $72.1 million, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $82.3 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $53.6 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $33.2 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $4.5 million.

Excluding the impact of losses incurred of $72.1 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $53.6 million was primarily related to:

(i)

(ii)

net adverse incurred loss development of $1.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $16.6 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Company’s top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $79.2 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $61.7 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $24.5 million, relating to 2012 runoff activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $9.8 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $61.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $34.4 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $27.3 million, primarily related to the completion of six commutations of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of the Company’s largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was among the Company’s largest ten reinsurance balances recoverable as at January 1, 2012.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million resulted from the collection of recoverables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

RETROSPECTIVELY RATED CONTRACTS

On October 1, 2003, SeaBright began selling workers’ compensation insurance policies for which the premiums varied based on loss experience. Accrued retrospective premiums are determined based upon the loss experience of business subject to such experience rating adjustment, and are determined by and allocated to individual policyholder accounts. Accrued retrospective premiums are recorded as additions to written or earned premium, and return retrospective premiums are recorded as reductions from written or earned premium. During the period from February 7, 2013, the date of acquisition, to June 30, 2013, none of the Company’s direct premiums written related to retrospectively rated contracts. The Company accrued $9.3 million for retrospective premiums receivable and $25.8 million for return retrospective premiums as at June 30, 2013.

Amendment and Restatement of EGL Revolving Credit Facility

On July 8, 2013, the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, as well as certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), as mandated lead arrangers, NAB, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada, as original lenders, and NAB as agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility (expiring in July 2018) pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $375.0 million (the “Credit Facility”), which is available to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement had provided for a three-year $250.0 million facility that was set to terminate in June 2014. The Company’s ability to draw on the Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays in the name of the Company and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to be paid. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by the Company or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs, if any, that may be incurred by the lenders. Any unused portion of the Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The Credit Facility imposes various financial and business covenants on the Company, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and assets, restrictions on dividends and limitations on liens.

During the existence of any event of default (as specified in the Restated Credit Agreement), the agent may cancel the commitments of the lenders, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate would be increased by 1.0%. The Credit Facility terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restated Credit Agreement.

SeaBright Surplus Notes

On May 26, 2004, SeaBright issued, in a private placement, $12.0 million in subordinated floating rate Surplus Notes due in 2034. The note holder is ICONS, Ltd., with Wilmington Trust Company acting as Trustee. Interest, paid quarterly in arrears, is calculated at the beginning of the interest payment period using the three-month LIBOR plus 400 basis points. The quarterly interest rate cannot exceed the initial interest rate by more than 10% per year, cannot exceed the corporate base (prime) rate by more than 2% and cannot exceed the highest rate permitted by New York law. The rate or amount of interest required to be paid in any quarter is also subject to limitations imposed by the Illinois Insurance Code. Interest amounts not paid as a result of these limitations become “Excess Interest,” which SeaBright may be required to pay in the future, subject to the same limitations and all other provisions of the Surplus Notes Indenture. Excess Interest has not applied during the periods the notes have been outstanding. The interest rate in effect as at June 30, 2013 was 4.3%.

Interest and principal may be paid only upon the prior approval of the Illinois Department of Insurance. In the event of default, as defined, or failure to pay interest due to lack of Illinois Department of Insurance approval, SeaBright would be prohibited from paying dividends on its capital stock. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal and accrued interest would become immediately due and payable.

The notes are redeemable prior to 2034 by SeaBright, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date. The Company has received approval from the Illinois Department of Insurance to redeem the notes in whole, and has notified both the trustee and note holder that the Company will redeem the notes on August 24, 2013, the next interest payment date.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and the period from February 7, 2013 (the date of acquisition of SeaBright) to June 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million and $5.8 million relating to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were reductions to unrecognized tax benefits of $3.6 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

The Company’s operating subsidiaries in specific countries may be subject to audit by various tax authorities and may have different statutes of limitations expiration dates. With limited exceptions, the Company’s major subsidiaries that operate in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2006, 2009 and 2006, respectively.

Guarantees

As at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had, in total, parental guarantees supporting Fitzwilliam Insurance Limited’s obligations in the amount of $219.6 million and $213.3 million, respectively.

Acquisitions

The Company has entered into definitive agreements with respect to: (i) the Reciprocal of America loss portfolio transfer, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; (ii) the purchases of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited and Arden Reinsurance Company Limited, which are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; and (iii) the Amalgamation of Veranda and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, which is expected to close by the end of 2013. The Torus, Atrium and Arden acquisition agreements are described in Note 2 — “Acquisitions,” and the Reciprocal of America agreement is described in Note 3 — “Significant New Business.”

In connection with the acquisitions of Torus and Atrium and Arden, the Company has entered into two separate Investors Agreements with Trident, and will enter into two Shareholders’ Agreements with Trident at the respective transaction closings. The Company’s obligations and rights relating to the Investors and Shareholders’ Agreements are described in Note 2 — “Acquisitions.”

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, the Company has agreed that at the closing of the Amalgamation, it will issue a combination of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares having a value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price, as described in Note 2. At closing, the Company will also enter into the Shareholder Rights Agreement with First Reserve and the Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair; the obligations and rights under these agreements are also described in Note 2.

Legal Proceedings

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of SeaBright, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”), the members of its board of directors, the Company’s merger subsidiary (AML Acquisition, Corp.) and, in one of the cases, the Company. The first suit was filed September 13, 2012 in the Superior Court of the State of Washington and the second suit was filed September 20, 2012 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that SeaBright’s directors breached their fiduciary duties when negotiating, approving and seeking stockholder approval of the Merger, and that SeaBright and the Company or the Company’s merger subsidiary aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The Company believed these suits were without merit; nevertheless, in order to avoid the potential cost and distraction of continued litigation and to eliminate any risk of delay to the closing of the Merger, the Company, SeaBright and the SeaBright director defendants agreed to settle the two lawsuits, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement required SeaBright to make supplemental information available to its stockholders through a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement did not change the amount of the merger consideration that we paid to SeaBright’s stockholders in any way, nor did it alter any deal terms. On July 19, 2013, the Superior Court of the State of Washington entered an order approving the settlement. This order will become final and unappealable on August 19, 2013. Once the Washington order becomes final and unappealable, the parties will request that the Delaware action also be dismissed.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Due to the Company’s acquisition of the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013, the Company has reevaluated its segment reporting and now measures the results of its operations in two segments: (i) non-life run-off and (ii) life and annuities.

The Company’s non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of those subsidiaries running off their property and casualty business.

The Company’s life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of those subsidiaries, primarily the Pavonia companies, operating in the closed-block of life and annuity business. Certain new significant accounting policies applicable to the life and annuities segment are described in Note 1 — “Significant New Accounting Policies.”

Invested assets are managed on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis, and investment income and realized and unrealized gains on investments are recognized in each segment as earned.

The Company’s total assets by segment were:


	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Total assets — non-life run-off	$	6,465,511	$	5,829,384
Total assets — life and annuities		1,409,237		52,859

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Enstar Group Limited:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 28, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Business Overview

Enstar Group Limited, or Enstar, was formed in August 2001 under the laws of Bermuda to acquire and manage insurance and reinsurance companies in run-off and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off, and to provide management, consulting and other services to the insurance and reinsurance industry. Since our formation, we have completed the acquisition of over 60 insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business and are now administering those businesses in run-off, including 12 Reinsurance to Close, or “RITC” transactions, with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off, whereby the portfolio of run-off liabilities is transferred from one Lloyd’s syndicate to another. With the exception of our 2011 acquisition of a small life company, all of these acquisitions have been in the property and casualty, or “non-life run-off,” insurance business, which continues to remain our primary focus.

Insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business we acquire that are in run-off no longer underwrite new policies. We derive our net earnings from the ownership and management of these acquired companies and portfolios of business primarily by settling insurance and reinsurance claims below the acquired value of loss reserves and from returns on the portfolio of investments retained to pay future claims. We also provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to our affiliates and third-party clients for both fixed and success-based fees.

In March 2013, we acquired several life insurance and annuities companies from a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, all of which are in run-off. We view the acquisition of these closed-life and annuities businesses as a natural extension of our run-off business and an enhancement to our global run-off strategy. Although our closed-life and annuities businesses are no longer writing new policies, the closed-life businesses continue to generate premiums with respect to their in-force policies. Our strategy in our life and annuities business differs from our non-life run-off business, in particular because we are unable to shorten the duration of the liabilities of these businesses through either commutations or policy buy-backs. Instead, we will hold the policies associated with the life and annuities business to their natural maturity, while efficiently managing our invested assets in those businesses to match the duration and cash flows of the liability profile. In addition to diversifying our loss reserve base, we believe our newly acquired closed-life business has the potential to provide us with a more regular earnings and cash flow stream, which may counter the volatility of our core non-life run-off business.

In June 2013, we continued the evolution of our business with our agreement to acquire Atrium Underwriting Group, the managing agent for the active underwriting business of a leading specialist underwriting syndicate at Lloyd’s of London. In July 2013, we continued our expansion into active underwriting when we announced our agreement to acquire Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, a highly rated global specialty insurer. We expect these acquisitions to close by the end of 2013. Once these transactions are completed, the active underwriting businesses acquired will constitute a new operating segment for us. We will generate revenue from premiums on the new business written, and will have additional operating expenses, in part as a result of the approximately 750 new employees and a number of new offices that we expect to acquire. In addition, our total investments will significantly increase from the acquired investment portfolios. While our core focus remains on acquiring insurance and reinsurance companies that are in run-off, we believe these acquisitions will diversify Enstar into the active market and enhance the opportunities available to our core run-off business.

Our primary corporate objective is to grow our net book value per share. We believe growth in our net book value is driven primarily by growth in our net earnings, which is in turn driven in large part by successfully completing new acquisitions and effectively managing companies and portfolios of business that we previously acquired.

Acquisitions

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

Amalgamation Agreement

On July 8, 2013, we, Veranda Holdings Ltd., or Veranda, an entity in which we own an indirect 60% interest through a 60% interest in Bayshore Holdings Limited, or Bayshore, Hudson Securityholders Representative LLC and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, or Torus, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation, or the Amalgamation Agreement. The Amalgamation Agreement provides for the amalgamation, or the Amalgamation, of Veranda and Torus (or the combined entity, the Amalgamated Company). Torus is a global specialty insurer and holding company of six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including one Lloyd’s syndicate.

The purchase price for the Amalgamation is $692.0 million. We and Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (our wholly-owned subsidiary), or Kenmare, will provide 60% of the purchase price and related expenses of the Amalgamation. Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., or collectively, Trident, the owner of the remaining 40% interest in Bayshore, the parent company of Veranda, will provide 40% of the purchase price and related expenses associated with the Amalgamation. We will issue a combination of approximately 1,901,000 voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Voting Ordinary Shares, and approximately 711,000 newly-created Series B convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, having an aggregate value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price. Kenmare will contribute in cash approximately $69.2 million and Trident will contribute in cash the remaining approximately $276.8 million of the purchase price. Following the Amalgamation, we and Trident will continue to own, respectively, a 60% and 40% indirect interest in the Amalgamated Company through our ownership of Bayshore.

Completion of the Amalgamation is conditioned on, among other things, governmental and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013. As a result of the Torus acquisition, we expect to add approximately 600 employees in a number of new offices in various countries.

Stock Issuance

FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P., or collectively, First Reserve, will receive Voting Ordinary Shares, Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. In the event that the number of Voting Ordinary Shares deliverable to First Reserve at the closing of the Amalgamation would cause First Reserve, as of immediately after such closing, to beneficially own Voting Ordinary Shares that constitute more than 9.5% of the voting power of all of our shares, then we will issue to First Reserve, at the closing, the total number of shares of Voting Ordinary Shares representing 9.5% of the voting power of all our shares as of immediately after the closing and Non-Voting Preferred Shares representing the remainder of the shares that First Reserve is entitled to under the Amalgamation Agreement. Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P., or Corsair, will receive both Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders will receive all cash. Following the Amalgamation, First Reserve will own approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital and Corsair will own approximately 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.

We and First Reserve will enter into a Shareholder Rights Agreement at the closing of the Amalgamation, under which we have agreed that First Reserve will have the right to designate one representative to our Board of Directors. This designation right terminates if First Reserve ceases to beneficially own at least 75% of the total number of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares acquired by it under the Amalgamation Agreement.

We will also enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation that provides First Reserve and Corsair with certain rights to cause us to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, the Voting Ordinary Shares (including the Voting Ordinary Shares into which the Non-Voting Preferred Shares may convert) issued pursuant to the Amalgamation and any

securities issued by us in connection with the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or similar reorganization, or the foregoing, collectively, Registrable Securities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we must file a resale shelf registration statement for the Registrable Securities within 20 business days after the closing of the Amalgamation. In addition, at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Amalgamation, First Reserve will be entitled to make three written requests for us to register all or any part of the Registrable Securities under the Act, subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Corsair will have the right to make one such request. First Reserve and Corsair will also be granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to our registration of Voting Ordinary Shares for our own account or for the account of one or more of our securityholders.

Trident Co-investment in Torus

In connection with the Amalgamation Agreement, we, Kenmare and Trident entered an Investors Agreement on July 8, 2013 governing each entity’s investments in Bayshore, and Kenmare and Trident entered into individual equity commitment letters obligating each to fund its respective portion of the purchase price for the Amalgamation noted above. Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Amalgamation Agreement.

Upon the funding of the equity commitments at the closing of the Amalgamation, Kenmare and Trident have agreed to enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement, or the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement. Among other things, the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement will provide that Kenmare would appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident would appoint two members. The Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party, or the Restricted Period. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Bayshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.

Trident is a holder of approximately 9.7% of our Voting Ordinary Shares.

Atrium and Arden

On June 5, 2013, we entered into definitive agreements with Arden Holdings Limited under which we will acquire Atrium Underwriting Group Limited, or Atrium, and Arden Reinsurance Company Limited, or Arden. Atrium is an underwriting business at Lloyd’s of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately one quarter of the syndicate’s capital. Atrium specializes in accident and health, aviation, marine property, non-marine property, professional liability, property and casualty binding authorities, reinsurance, upstream energy, war and terrorism insurance, cargo and fine art. Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to Atrium and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses.

Trident Co-investment in Atrium and Arden

On July 3, 2013, Kenmare entered into an Investors Agreement with Trident with respect to the acquisitions of Atrium and Arden, pursuant to which Trident acquired a 40% interest in Northshore Holdings Ltd., previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenmare, or Northshore. In connection with the Investors Agreement, Kenmare and Trident provided individual equity commitment letters to Northshore pursuant to which Kenmare and Trident agreed to provide 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Atrium and Arden purchase prices and related expenses.

Upon the funding of the equity commitments at the closing of the Atrium and Arden transactions, Kenmare and Trident have agreed to enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement, or the Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement. Among other things, the Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement will provide that Kenmare would appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident would appoint two members. Trident would also have the right to designate one member of the Atrium board of directors.

The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Northshore to a third party, or the Restricted Period. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Northshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Northshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Northshore.

SeaBright

On February 7, 2013, we completed our acquisition of SeaBright Holdings, Inc., or SeaBright, through the merger of our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, AML Acquisition, Corp., with and into SeaBright, or the Merger, with SeaBright surviving the Merger as our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. SeaBright owns SeaBright Insurance Company, an Illinois-domiciled insurer that is commercially domiciled in California, which wrote workers’ compensation business. The aggregate cash purchase price paid for all equity securities of SeaBright was approximately $252.1 million, which was funded in part with $111.0 million borrowed under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank and Barclays Bank PLC.

Pavonia

On March 31, 2013, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pavonia Holdings (US), Inc., or Pavonia, completed the acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware, or HLIC DE, and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware, or HSBC DE, from Household Insurance Group Holding Company, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc. HLIC DE and HSBC DE are both Delaware-domiciled insurers in run-off. HLIC DE owns three other insurers domiciled in Michigan, New York, and Arizona, respectively, all of which are in run-off (collectively with HLIC DE and HSBC DE, the Pavonia companies). The aggregate cash purchase price was $155.6 million and was financed in part by a drawing of $55.7 million under our revolving credit facility. The Pavonia companies wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities.

As of the date of acquisition of Pavonia, all of the companies were either in run-off or, immediately following the acquisition, were placed into run-off, and accordingly are no longer writing new policies. We will continue to collect premiums on business that remains in-force.

Significant New Business

Shelbourne

Effective January 1, 2013, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008, or Syndicate 2008, which is managed by our wholly-owned subsidiary and Lloyd’s managing agent, Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, entered into an RITC contract of the 2009 underwriting year of account of another Lloyd’s syndicate and a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with a further Lloyd’s syndicate in respect of its 2010 underwriting year of account, under which Syndicate 2008 assumed total gross insurance reserves of approximately £33.8 million (approximately $51.4 million) for consideration of an equal amount.

American Physicians

On April 26, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Providence Washington Insurance Company, or PWIC, completed the assignment and assumption of a portfolio of workers’ compensation business from American Physicians Assurance Corporation and APSpecialty Insurance Company. Total assets and liabilities assumed were approximately $35.3 million.

Reciprocal of America

Segment Reporting

Due to our acquisition of the Pavonia companies, we have reevaluated our segment reporting. We now measure our results of operations in two segments: (i) non-life run-off and (ii) life and annuities.

Non-life Run-off Segment

Our non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are running off their property and casualty business.

Life and Annuities Segment

Our life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are operating our closed-block of life and annuity business, which primarily consists of the companies we acquired in the Pavonia acquisition on March 31, 2013. This business is described in more detail below. Certain new critical accounting policies applicable to this segment are described in “Critical Accounting Policies.”

Annuities

The current operations of Household Life Insurance Company of Arizona relate solely to the assumption of a closed block of structured settlement, lottery, and other immediate annuities (also known as the Periodic Payment Annuity, or PPA, business). The company no longer writes new business. Reserves relating to the PPA business constitute approximately 80% of the aggregate reserves acquired in the Pavonia acquisition. The contracts within the portfolio are largely structured settlements, although the portfolio also includes a smaller amount of lottery annuities and supplementary contracts.

The PPA business was issued from 1982 to 1995, although the majority of the reserves pertain to the period from 1985 to 1989. The contracts within the portfolio operate pursuant to a variety of different payment features, such as life contingency payments, certain payments (or a combination thereof), one-time lump payments, or payments patterns such as level, compound increase or fixed amount increase payments. Regardless of payment structure, however, the portfolio generally has known and predictable cash flows, which makes the asset-liability matching process and the mitigation of interest rate risk a vital component to our management of this portfolio. We have a long-duration held-to-maturity investment portfolio designed to manage the cash flow obligations of the PPA business.

Life Business

The operations of the acquired Pavonia companies other than Household Life Insurance Company of Arizona relate to non-annuity portfolios, which include credit life and disability insurance, term life, and corporate owned life insurance business. This business is significantly shorter in duration than that of the PPA business and, given the premium income associated with these portfolios, the reserves (based upon net present value of future cash flows) remain highly sensitive to lapse rates as well as mortality rates.

NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED	$	19,197		$	40,721		$	31,156		$	50,394

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $25.2 million and $38.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $40.9 million and $56.3 million for the same periods in 2012. The decrease in earnings for the periods was attributable primarily to the following:

Net premiums earned — Combined net premiums earned for both non-life run-off and life and annuities were $75.6 million and $107.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $0.9 million and $1.9 million for the same periods in 2012. The significant increase in 2013 was due to the acquisitions of SeaBright and the Pavonia companies in 2013.

Net investment income — Net investment income was $27.3 million and $45.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $20.9 million and $41.3 million for the same periods in 2012. The increase in each of the periods during 2013 was primarily attributable to the net investment income earned due to the cash and fixed maturity investments acquired in the SeaBright and Pavonia transactions, partially offset by lower reinvestment yields on reinvested proceeds of matured fixed maturity investments.

Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments — Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains were $(27.9) million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $27.1 million for the same periods in 2012. The decrease in net realized and unrealized gains between the 2013 and 2012 periods was primarily attributable to the combination of an increase in realized and unrealized losses on fixed income securities in both of our operating segments due primarily to increases in U.S. interest rates and the associated impact on our larger base of investments (following the acquisitions of SeaBright and the Pavonia companies which recorded combined unrealized losses of $22.5 million and $20.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013). These losses were partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on our equities and other investments.

Net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities — Excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright of $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities were $62.9 million and $68.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright of $72.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities were $82.3 million and $79.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The movements for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 relate entirely to our non-life run-off segment and are described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Life and annuity policy benefits — Life and annuity policy benefits were $29.5 million and $30.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $0.9 million and $1.9 million for the same periods in 2012. The significant increase in 2013 was due to primarily to the acquisition of the Pavonia companies, which we completed on March 31, 2013. The movements for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 relate entirely to our life and annuities segment and are described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Salaries and benefits — Salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $1.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012. These increases were primarily due to the salaries and benefits costs associated with both the SeaBright and Pavonia acquisitions, partially offset by a reduction in our bonus accrual amount for 2013 due to lower net earnings.

General and administrative expenses — General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $5.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012. These increases were principally due to the general and administrative expenses incurred in 2013 associated with both the SeaBright and Pavonia acquisitions.

Income tax expense — Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $7.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Income tax expense is generated through our foreign operations outside of Bermuda, principally in the United States, U.K and Australia. Our income tax expense may fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on the geographic distribution of pre-tax earnings or loss in any given period between different jurisdictions with different tax rates.

Results by Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

We monitor the performance of our operations in two segments: (i) non-life run-off and (ii) life and annuities.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Non-life Run-off Segment

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $27.0 million and $41.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $14.1 million was attributable primarily to the following:

(i)

a decrease in net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $5.4 million (excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright in the period of $41.2 million);

(ii)

net realized and unrealized losses of $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $1.2 million for the same period in 2012;

(iii)

an increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million; and

(iv)

a decrease in net investment income of $3.5 million; partially offset by

(v)

an increase in net foreign exchange gains of $7.9 million; and

(vi)

a decrease in income tax expense of $7.4 million.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings increased by $5.9 million to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of higher earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased by $19.9 million from $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Premiums Earned:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013			*Variance*		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Gross premiums written	$	4,444				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums written		(3,274	)				—

Net premiums written	$	1,170		$	1,170	$	—

Gross premiums earned	$	45,414				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums earned		(4,198	)				—

Net premiums earned	$	41,216		$	41,216	$	—

Premiums Written

Gross premiums written consist of direct premiums written and premiums assumed by SeaBright from the National Council on Compensation Insurance (or NCCI) residual market pools. Upon acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off and, as a result, stopped writing new insurance policies. SeaBright was renewing expiring insurance policies when it was obligated to do so by regulators, but has now received approvals from all states relieving it of this obligation.

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $4.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Now that SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process, which occurred prior to June 30, 2013, has been approved, we expect that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written.

Premiums Earned

Our gross premiums earned totaled $45.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Ceded premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $4.2 million. Accordingly, net premiums earned totaled $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income							Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains
	2013		*Variance*			2012		2013			*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	17,180	$	(3,483	)	$	20,663	$	(17,238	)	$	(18,436	)	$	1,198

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $3.5 million to $17.2 million, as compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of lower yields obtained on the cash and fixed income portfolios as securities with higher yields matured and were reinvested at lower yields during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was partially offset by higher cash and investment balances due to the SeaBright transaction, which closed on February 7, 2013. The average cash and investments balance was approximately 38% higher during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $(17.2) million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized losses of $18.4 million was primarily attributable to a combination of the following:

(i)

an increase of $31.6 million in net unrealized and realized losses (including $11.9 million relating to SeaBright); on fixed income securities due primarily to increases in U.S. interest rates partially offset by

(ii)

an increase of $6.2 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our equity portfolios; and

(iii)

an increase of $6.7 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our private equity and other investment holdings.

The annualized investment return on cash and fixed maturities (inclusive of net realized and unrealized losses, but excluding net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains related to our other investments and equities) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was (1.59)% as compared to the annualized investment return of 1.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The annualized investment return on our other investments and equities (inclusive of net realized and unrealized (losses) gains) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 10.65% as compared to the annualized investment return of 1.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

The average credit ratings of our fixed maturity investments for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 were A+ and AA-, respectively.

Net change in case and loss adjustment expense reserves, or LAE reserves, comprises the movement during the quarter in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to us by our policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by us to our reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in incurred but not reported reserves, or IBNR reserves, represents the change in our actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $21.7 million included losses incurred of $41.2 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $41.2 million, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $62.9 million. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.8 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.4 million.

Excluding the impact of losses incurred of $41.2 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million was primarily due to:

(i)

our review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $8.3 million;

(ii)

net favorable incurred loss development of $25.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $8.3 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of our top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of our Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $36.0 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $22.4 million, primarily related to the completion of six commutations of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of our largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was among our largest ten reinsurance balances recoverable as at January 1, 2012.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $0.5 million resulted from the collection of recoverables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

We have reclassified outstanding loss and loss adjustment expenses of $11.1 million and $12.1 million to policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as at April 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to conform to the current period presentation. These amounts are associated with Laguna Life Limited, or Laguna, which now forms part of our life and annuities segment that was established following the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

Salaries and Benefits:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	24,626	$	(356	)	$	24,270

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $24.6 million and $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The principal changes in salaries and benefits were:

(i)

a decrease in the bonus accrual of approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 2012 (expenses relating to our bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability); offset by

(ii)

increased staff costs primarily associated with our acquisition of SeaBright.

General and Administrative Expenses:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	15,470	$	(2,214	)	$	13,256

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in expenses for 2013 related primarily to general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million incurred by SeaBright for the three months ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a reduction in our legal fees of $0.8 million due primarily to decreased legal fees and settlement costs associated with due diligence projects. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in 2013 over 2012 levels due primarily to the SeaBright acquisition.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	8,450	$	7,883	$	567

We recorded net foreign exchange gains of $8.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net foreign exchange gains for the three months ended June 30, 2013 arose primarily as a result of us holding surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the Australian dollar depreciated sharply against the U.S. dollar. The Australian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate decreased from AU$1 = $1.0425 at March 31, 2013 to AU$1 = $0.9154 at June 30, 2013, a decrease of 12.2% for the quarter.

In addition to the net foreign exchange gains recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income currency translation adjustment losses, net of noncontrolling interest, related to our non-life run-off segment of $12.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian-based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries are Australian dollars, we record any U.S. dollar gains or losses on the translation of their net Australian dollar assets through accumulated other comprehensive income.

Income Tax Expense:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	4,534	$	7,371	$	11,905

We recorded income tax expense of $4.5 million and $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due

predominantly to lower overall net earnings in our taxable subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2012.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	6,001	$	(5,872	)	$	129

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $6.0 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to an increase in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Life and Annuities Segment

On March 31, 2013, we acquired the Pavonia companies and, as a result, reevaluated our segment reporting. As part of that reevaluation, we have included the results of Laguna within the life and annuities segment for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Net Premiums Earned


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Term life insurance	$	9,044	$	896
Assumed life reinsurance		6,678		—
Credit life and disability		17,521		—
Other products		1,137		—

	$	34,380	$	896

Net premiums earned were $34.4 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Term life premiums consist primarily of monthly premium collections coupled with annual premiums earned as collected. The term life business consists of 10, 15, 20 and 30 year direct term business with approximately 90% of premiums to be earned over the next 20 years. The assumed life reinsurance premiums will continue to be earned until the year 2052; however, approximately 70% are expected to be earned within the next ten years. Credit life and disability premiums are fixed monthly premiums received on credit products that mostly consist of sub-prime mortgages in the U.S. and Canada; approximately 90% of these premiums are expected to be earned before the year 2023. Other products in our Pavonia companies primarily consist of employment and property insurance related to sub-prime mortgages.

For our life and annuities business, our strategy differs from our non-life run-off business, in particular because we are unable to shorten the duration of the liabilities in these businesses through either commutations or policy buy-backs. Instead, we will hold the policies associated with the life and annuities business to their natural maturity.

Net premiums earned in 2012 relate to the Laguna term life business.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income						Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains
	2013		*Variance*		2012		2013			*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	10,072	$	9,841	$	231	$	(10,681	)	$	(11,174	)	$	493

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $10.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the cash and fixed income securities associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013.

Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $(10.7) million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized losses of $11.2 million was due to the acquisition of the investments of the Pavonia companies and losses on those fixed income investments due primarily to increases in U.S. interest rates during the three month period ending June 30, 2013.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our PPA business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business. As these fixed maturity investments are classified as held-to-maturity, we invest surplus cash flows from maturities into longer dated fixed maturities. As at June 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our PPA business was shorter than the liabilities, as a significant amount of the liabilities extend beyond 30 years and it is difficult, due to limited investment options, to match duration and cash flows beyond that period.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our non-PPA life business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business (the non-PPA business has a short duration liability profile). These fixed maturity investments are classified as trading, and therefore we may sell existing securities to buy higher yielding securities and funds in the future. As at June 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our non-PPA life business was shorter than the liabilities, however, we have the discretion to change this in the future.

Life and annuity policy benefits were $29.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. PPA benefits paid were $12.7 million, which was an average of approximately $4.0 million per month, offset by a reduction in annuity benefit reserves of $6.4 million. Net ultimate change in life benefit reserves of $23.2 million was comprised of net life claims benefits paid and net change in life claims benefit reserves of $16.8 million, commissions of $3.9 million and amortization of fair value adjustments of $2.5 million.

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $1.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in costs was attributable to the 47 person increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies. As at June 30, 2013, the life and annuities segment had 51 employees based in our offices in the U.S. and Ireland.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included within general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $1.5 million related to legal and professional fees. The remainder of $3.0 million included costs associated with information technology costs, rent, bank charges and other expenses, of which approximately $1.0 million related to non-recurring transition costs.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Non-Life Run-off Segment

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $41.9 million and $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $14.3 million was primarily attributable to the following:

(i)

a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains of $13.1 million due to an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity investments classified as trading;

(ii)

a decrease in net investment income of $6.1 million; and

(iii)

an increase in general and administrative expenses of $3.8 million; partially offset by

(iv)

an increase in net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $3.1 million (excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright in the period of $72.1 million);

(v)

a decrease in income tax expense of $3.3 million; and

(vi)

a net foreign exchange gain of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which was a $5.2 million increase from the net foreign exchange loss for the same period in 2012.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings increased by $1.2 million to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of higher earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased by $15.5 million from $50.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Premiums Earned:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			*Variance*		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Gross premiums written	$	16,542				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums written		(5,664	)				—

Net premiums written	$	10,878		$	10,878	$	—

Gross premiums earned	$	79,549				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums earned		(7,413	)				—

Net premiums earned	$	72,136		$	72,136	$	—

Premiums Written

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2013 totaled $16.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Now that SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process has been approved, we expect that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written.

Premiums Earned

Our gross premiums earned totaled $79.5 million for the period from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2013. Ceded reinsurance premiums earned for the period from the date of the SeaBright acquisition to June 30, 2013 totaled $7.4 million. Accordingly, net premiums earned totaled $72.1 million for the period from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2013.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income							Net Realized and Unrealized Gains
	2013		*Variance*			2012		2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	34,871	$	(6,057	)	$	40,928	$	13,040	$	(13,149	)	$	26,189

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $6.0 million to $34.9 million, as compared to $40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of lower yields obtained on the cash and fixed income portfolios as securities with higher yields matured and were reinvested at lower yields during the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was partially offset by net investment income attributable to higher cash and investments balances due to the SeaBright transaction which closed on February 7, 2013. The average cash and investments balances were 14% higher during the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net realized and unrealized gains for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $13.2 million to $13.0 million, as compared to $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a combination of the following:

(i)

an increase of $43.5 million in net unrealized and realized losses (including $10.1 million related to SeaBright) on fixed income securities due primarily to increases in U.S. interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2013; partially offset by

(ii)

an increase of $23.3 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our private equity and other investment holdings; and

(iii)

an increase of $6.3 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our equity portfolios.

The annualized investment return on cash and fixed maturities (inclusive of net realized and unrealized gains, but excluding net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains related to our other investments and equities) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was (0.1)% as compared to the annualized investment return of 1.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The annualized investment return on our other investments and equities (inclusive of net realized and unrealized gains) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 16.0% as compared to the annualized investment return of 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The average credit ratings of our fixed maturity investments for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were A+ and AA-, respectively.

Net Reduction in Ultimate Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Liabilities:

The following table shows the components of the movement in the net (increase) reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Excluding the impact of losses incurred of $72.1 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $53.6 million was primarily related to:

(i)

our quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $16.6 million;

(ii)

net adverse incurred loss development of $1.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $16.6 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of our top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $61.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $34.4 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $27.3 million, primarily related to the completion of six commutations of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of our largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was amongst our largest ten reinsurance balances recoverable as at January 1, 2012.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million resulted from the collection of recoverables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

We have reclassified outstanding losses and loss adjustment expenses of $11.0 million and $10.8 million to policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as at January 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to conform to the current period presentation. These amounts are associated with Laguna which now forms part of our life and annuities segment that was established following the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

Salaries and Benefits:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	48,090	$	(3,480	)	$	44,610

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $48.1 million and $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The principal changes in salaries and benefits were:

(i)

increased staff costs primarily associated with our acquisition of SeaBright; partially offset by

(ii)

a decrease in the bonus accrual of approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 2012. Expenses relating to our bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability.

General and Administrative Expenses:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	31,704	$	(3,789	)	$	27,915

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $3.8 million increase was due principally to:

(i)

general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million incurred by SeaBright from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2013; and

(ii)

an increase in computer and related expenses of approximately $2.2 million due primarily to ongoing technology infrastructure projects; partially offset by

(iii)

a decrease in bank costs of $1.3 million primarily associated with the arrangement and agency fees paid in connection with establishing credit facilities in 2012; and

(iv)

a decrease in professional fees of approximately $2.9 million due primarily to decreased legal fees and settlement costs associated with due diligence projects and decreased other professional and consulting fees.

Interest Expense:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	5,051	$	(878	)	$	4,173

Interest expense of $5.1 million and $4.2 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the increase in the amounts of loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	3,514	$	5,219	$	(1,705	)

We recorded net foreign exchange gains (losses) of $3.5 million and $(1.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net foreign exchange gains for the six months ended June 30, 2013 arose primarily as a result of us holding surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the Australian dollar depreciated sharply against the U.S. dollar. The Australian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate decreased from AU$1 = $1.0382 at December 31, 2012 to AU$1 = $0.9154 at June 30, 2013, a decrease of 11.8% for the period. These gains were partially offset by net foreign exchange losses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013 arising as a result of holding surplus British pound and Euro assets at a time when the U.S. dollar was appreciating against these currencies.

In addition to the net foreign exchange gains recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income

currency translation adjustment losses, net of noncontrolling interest, related to our non-life run-off segment of $13.7 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian-based and Ireland-based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries is Australian dollars and Euros, respectively, we record any U.S. dollar gains or losses on the translation of their net Australian dollar or Euro assets through accumulated other comprehensive income.

We recorded income tax expense of $12.4 million and $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due largely to lower overall net earnings in our taxable subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2012 and from tax benefits arising on reductions in our uncertain tax positions.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		*Variance*			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	7,027	$	(1,165	)	$	5,862

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $7.0 million and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to an increase in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Life and Annuities Segment

Primarily because we acquired the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013, results of operations for our life and annuities segment for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were substantially the same as those for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, which are described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital management strategy is to preserve sufficient capital to enable us to make future acquisitions while maintaining a conservative investment strategy. As we are a holding company and have no substantial operations of our own, our assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries. The potential sources of the cash flows to Enstar as a holding company consist of dividends, advances and loans from our subsidiary companies. Most of those subsidiaries are regulated entities, and restrictions on their ability to pay dividends and make other distributions may apply.

At June 30, 2013, we had total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments of $6.23 billion, compared to $4.31 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase of $1.92 billion was primarily a result of the completion of the SeaBright and Pavonia acquisitions. Our cash and cash equivalents portfolio is comprised mainly of cash, high-grade fixed deposits, commercial paper with maturities of less than three months and money market funds. We expect our total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments to increase once the acquisitions of Atrium, Arden and Torus are completed.

Reinsurance Recoverables — Non-life Run-off

reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the completion of acquisitions in the period partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the six months ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was $338.3 million and $343.9 million, respectively. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance balances recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers. This determination is based on a detailed process, although management judgment is involved. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance balances recoverable to total reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of June 30, 2013 decreased to 22.9% as compared to 23.4% as of December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of companies acquired during the period against which there were minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance balances recoverable.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Operating

Net cash used in our operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $11.4 million compared to $186.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. This $175.2 million decrease in cash used in our operating activities was due primarily to the following:

(i)

an increase of $317.1 million in the sales and maturities of trading securities between 2013 and 2012; and

(ii)

an increase in the net changes in assets and liabilities of $73.9 million between 2013 and 2012; partially offset by

(iii)

an increase of $207.9 million in the purchases of trading securities between 2013 and 2012.

Investing

Investing cash flows consist primarily of cash acquired net of acquisitions along with net proceeds on the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities and other investments. Net cash used in investing activities was $254.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $146.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This $401.8 million decrease in investing cash flows was due primarily to the following:

(i)

the use of $284.0 million in net cash for the acquisitions of Pavonia and SeaBright during the six months ended June 30, 2013;

(ii)

a decrease of $23.5 million in the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities between 2013 and 2012; and

(iii)

an increase of $196.9 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents between 2013 and 2012; partially offset by

(iv)

a decrease of $101.7 million in the funding of other investments between 2013 and 2012.

Financing

Net cash provided by financing activities was $225.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net cash used of $142.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This $367.4 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the following:

(i)

an increase of $227.0 million in cash received attributable to bank loans during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily in connection with our acquisition funding requirements;

(ii)

a decrease of $115.9 million in cash used to repay bank loans between 2013 and 2012; and

(iii)

a decrease of $24.5 million in dividends and distributions of capital to noncontrolling interest between 2013 and 2012.

As at June 30, 2013, we held investments on our balance sheet totaling $5.21 billion, compared to $3.35 billion at December 31, 2012, with net unrealized appreciation included in accumulated comprehensive income

of $4.1 million compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2012. As at June 30, 2013, we had approximately $1.3 billion of restricted assets compared to approximately $1.0 billion at December 31, 2012.

We strive to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs for future liabilities. In that regard, we attempt to correlate the maturity and duration of our investment portfolio to our general liability profile. If our liquidity needs or general liability profile unexpectedly change, we may adjust the structure of our investment portfolio to meet new business needs.

For our non-life run-off segment, our strategy of commuting our liabilities has the potential to accelerate the natural payout of losses. Therefore, we maintain a relatively short-duration investment portfolio in order to provide liquidity for commutation opportunities and avoid having to liquidate longer dated investments. Accordingly, the majority of our investment portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturities, including U.S. government and agency investments, highly rated sovereign and supranational investments, high-grade corporate investments, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments. We allocate a portion of our investment portfolio to other investments, including private equity funds, fixed income funds, fixed income hedge funds, an equity fund and a real estate debt fund. At June 30, 2013, these other investments totaled $468.4 million, or 9.0%, of our total balance sheet investments (December 31, 2012: $414.8 million or 12.4%). The trend of increased allocation in absolute terms to our other investments is likely to continue in the future based on continued funding of our existing outstanding investment commitments along with future acquisitions.

For our life and annuities segment, we do not commute our policy benefits for life and annuity contracts liabilities and, as a result, we maintain a longer duration investment portfolio that attempts to match the cash flows and duration of our liability profile. Accordingly, the majority of this portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturity investments, primarily corporate bonds.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our non-PPA life business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business (the non-PPA life business has a short-duration liability profile). These fixed maturity investments are classified as trading, and therefore we may sell existing securities to buy higher yielding securities and funds in the future. As at June 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our non-PPA life business was shorter than the liabilities, however, we have the discretion to change this in the future.

Fixed maturity investments issued by companies in the United Kingdom and Switzerland are not included in the tables above. None of the fixed maturity investments we owned at June 30, 2013 were considered impaired and we do not expect to incur any significant losses on those investments.

Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt at June 30, 2013 consisted of loan facilities used to partially finance certain of our acquisitions and significant new business transactions, our revolving credit facility, or the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which can be used for permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, and surplus notes acquired in connection with the SeaBright acquisition. We draw down on the loan facilities at the time of an acquisition or significant new business transaction, although in some circumstances we have made additional draw-downs to refinance existing debt of the acquired company.

On February 5, 2013, we fully drew down the $111.0 million available under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank and Barclays Bank PLC, or the SeaBright Facility, in connection with the acquisition of SeaBright. In addition, on February 5, 2013 and March 26, 2013, we borrowed $56.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively, under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility.

Total amounts of loans payable outstanding, including accrued interest, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, totaled $347.9 million and $107.4 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, all of the covenants relating to our three outstanding credit facilities (the SeaBright Facility, the term facility related to our 2011 acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company, or the Clarendon Facility, and the EGL Revolving Credit Facility) were met.

Refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a description of these credit facilities.

Amendment and Restatement of EGL Revolving Credit Facility

On July 8, 2013, we, and certain of our subsidiaries, as borrowers, as well as certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment and restatement of our existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with National Australia Bank Limited, or NAB, and Barclays Bank PLC, or Barclays, as mandated lead arrangers, NAB, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada, as original lenders, and NAB as agent, or the Restated Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility (expiring in July 2018) pursuant to which we are permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $375.0 million, or the Amended EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which is available to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement had provided for a three-year $250.0 million facility that was set to terminate in June 2014. Our ability to draw on the Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

The Amended EGL Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of our subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays in our name and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of our subsidiaries are required to be paid. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by us or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs, if any, that may be incurred by the lenders. Any unused portion of the Amended EGL Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The Amended EGL Revolving Credit Facility imposes various financial and business covenants on us, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and assets, restrictions on dividends and limitations on liens.

During the existence of any event of default (as specified in the Restated Credit Agreement), the agent may cancel the commitments of the lenders, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate would be increased by 1.0%. The Amended EGL Revolving Credit Facility terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restated Credit Agreement.

SeaBright Surplus Notes

Interest, paid quarterly in arrears, is calculated at the beginning of the interest payment period using the three-month LIBOR plus 400 basis points. The quarterly interest rate cannot exceed the initial interest rate by more than 10% per year, cannot exceed the corporate base (prime) rate by more than 2% and cannot exceed the highest rate permitted by New York law. The rate or amount of interest required to be paid in any quarter is also subject to limitations imposed by the Illinois Insurance Code. Interest amounts not paid as a result of these limitations become “Excess Interest,” which SeaBright may be required to pay in the future, subject to the same limitations and all other provisions of the Surplus Notes Indenture. Excess Interest has not applied during the periods the notes have been outstanding. The interest rate in effect as at June 30, 2013 was 4.3%.

The notes are redeemable prior to 2034 by SeaBright, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date. We have received approval from the Illinois Department of Insurance to redeem the notes in whole, and have notified both the trustee and note holder that we will redeem the note on August 24, 2013, the next interest payment date.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and the period from February 7, 2013 (the date of acquisition of SeaBright) to June 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Clarendon Facility

On July 31, 2013, we repaid $27.5 million of the outstanding principal on our Clarendon Facility reducing the outstanding principal to $79.0 million.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We have updated the amounts and categories of our contractual obligations previously provided on page 98 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect changes in gross reserves, operating lease obligations, investment commitments and loan repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as well as the assumption of policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as a result of the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

The reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling losses. The estimation of losses is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses paid may differ, perhaps significantly, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in actual payment activity. The assumptions used in estimating the likely payments due by period are based on our historical claims payment experience and industry payment patterns, but due to

the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid in any such period can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed above.

The amounts in the above table represent our estimates of known liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and do not take into account corresponding reinsurance recoverable amounts that would be due to us. Furthermore, reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 are computed on a fair value basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustment in the amount payable.

(2)

Policy benefits for life and annuity contracts recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2013 of $1,293.3 million are computed on a discounted basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect a discount of the amount payable.

(3)	The acquisition funding does not include the amount associated with the expected future issuance by us of approximately 1,901,000 voting ordinary shares and 711,000 Series B convertible non-voting preference shares in relation to the acquisition of Torus.

Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into definitive agreements with respect to: (i) the Torus amalgamation, which is expected to close by the end of 2013; (ii) the acquisitions of Atrium and Arden, which are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; (iii) the Investors Agreements of Bayshore and Northshore and the corresponding equity commitment letters of Trident in respect of the Torus amalgamation and acquisitions of Atrium and Arden; and (iv) the Reciprocal of America loss portfolio transfer, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Torus amalgamation, Trident and Atrium and Arden agreements are described above in “—Acquisitions”, the Reciprocal of America agreement is described above in “—Significant New Business”, and the Revolving Credit Facility is described above in “—Long-term Debt”.

Refer also to Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding our litigation matters.

There have been no other material changes in our commitments or contingencies since December 31, 2012. Refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for more information.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result of the SeaBright and Pavonia acquisitions, we have adopted certain new critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013, which are described below.

Premium Revenue Recognition

Non-life Run-off

Our non-life run-off premiums written are earned on a pro-rata basis over the coverage period. Our reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy, unless policy language stipulates otherwise, and are estimated based upon information in underlying contracts and information provided by clients and/or brokers. A change in reinsurance premium estimates is made when additional information regarding changes in underlying exposures is obtained. Such changes in estimates are expected and may result in significant adjustments in future periods. We record any adjustments as premiums written in the period they are determined.

With respect to retrospectively rated contracts (where additional premium would be due should losses exceed pre-determined, contractual thresholds), any additional premiums are based upon contractual terms and management judgment is involved in estimating the amount of losses that we expect to be ceded. Additional premiums would be recognized at the time loss thresholds specified in the contract are exceeded and are earned

over the coverage period, or are earned immediately if the period of risk coverage has passed. Changes in estimates of losses recorded on contracts with additional premium features would result in changes in additional premiums recognized.

Life and Annuities

We generally recognize premiums from term life insurance, credit life and disability insurance and assumed life reinsurance as revenue when due from policyholders. Term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability insurance policies include those contracts with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits. We match benefits and expenses with revenue to result in the recognition of profit over the life of the contracts.

Life and Annuity Benefits

We estimate our life and annuity benefit and claim reserves on a present value basis using standard actuarial techniques and cash flow models. We establish and maintain our life and annuity reserves at a level that we estimate will, when taken together with future premium payments and investment income expected to be earned on associated premiums, be sufficient to support all future cash flow benefit obligations and third party servicing obligations as they become payable.

Since the development of the life and annuity reserves is based upon cash flow projection models, we must make estimates and assumptions based on experience and industry mortality tables, longevity and morbidity rates, lapse rates, expenses and investment experience, including a provision for adverse deviation. The assumptions used to determine policy benefit reserves were adjusted at the time we acquired the Pavonia companies. These assumptions are locked-in throughout the life of the contract unless there is material adverse change.

We review these assumptions no less than annually. The review process involves analyzing assumptions and determining whether actual and anticipated experience indicates that existing policy reserves, together with the present value of future gross premiums, are sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits, settlement and maintenance costs and to recover unamortized acquisition costs. If management’s review indicates that reserves should be greater than those currently held, then the locked-in assumptions would be revised and a charge for life and annuity benefits would be recognized at that time.

Investments

Short-term Investments and Fixed Maturity Investments

Short-term investments comprise investments with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. Fixed maturity investments comprise investments with a maturity of one year and greater from the date of purchase. We classify our short-term investments and fixed maturity investments as trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale depending on the nature of the investments and our intent and abilities with respect thereto.

Short-term investments and fixed maturities classified as trading are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized holding gains and losses included in net earnings and reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis, and realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are based upon specific identification of the cost of investments.

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. We adjust the cost of short-term investments and fixed maturities for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments classified as

available-for-sale are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective yield method and included in net investment income. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments, and any other holdings for which there is a prepayment risk, we evaluate and revise prepayment assumptions retrospectively on a regular basis, which is a process that involves significant management judgment.

Fixed maturity investments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to changes in interest rates, changes in issuer-specific circumstances such as credit rating and changes in industry-specific circumstances such as movements in credit spreads based on the market’s perception of industry risks. As a result of these potential fluctuations, it is possible to have significant unrealized gains or losses on a security. At maturity, absent any credit loss, fixed maturity investments’ amortized costs will equal their fair values and no realized gain or loss will be recognized in income. If, due to an unforeseen change in loss payment patterns, we need to sell any available-for-sale or trading investments before maturity, we could realize significant gains or losses in any period, which could result in a meaningful effect on reported net earnings for such period.

We perform regular reviews of our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity fixed maturities portfolios and utilize a process that considers numerous indicators in order to identify investments that are showing signs of potential other-than-temporary impairment losses. These indicators include the length of time and extent of the unrealized loss, any specific adverse conditions, historic and implied volatility of the security, failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest payments, significant rating changes and recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date. The consideration of these indicators and the estimation of credit losses involve significant management judgment.

Any other-than-temporary impairment loss, or OTTI, related to a credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the amount of the OTTI related to other factors (e.g. interest rates, market conditions, etc.) is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. If no credit loss exists but either we have the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, then the entire unrealized loss is recognized in earnings.

Off-Balance Sheet and Special Purpose Entity Arrangements

At June 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of our management, as well as the markets for our ordinary shares and the insurance and reinsurance sectors in general. Statements that include words such as “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “may” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates or expectations, and not statements of historical fact, reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this quarterly report.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward looking statements include:

•

risks associated with implementing our business strategies and initiatives;

•

risks that we may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms;

•

the adequacy of our loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time;

•

risks relating to the availability and collectability of our reinsurance;

•

changes and uncertainty in economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, equity markets and credit conditions, which could affect our investment portfolio, our ability to finance future acquisitions and our profitability;

•

losses due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

increased competitive pressures, including the consolidation and increased globalization of reinsurance providers;

•

emerging claim and coverage issues;

•

lengthy and unpredictable litigation affecting assessment of losses and/or coverage issues;

•

continued availability of exit and finality opportunities provided by solvent schemes of arrangement;

•

loss of key personnel;

•

the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us;

•

changes in our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations or intentions, which may happen at any time at management’s discretion;

•

operational risks, including system or human failures and external hazards;

•

the risk that ongoing or future industry regulatory developments will disrupt our business, or mandate changes in industry practices in ways that increase our costs, decrease our revenues or require us to alter aspects of the way we do business;

•

risks relating to our acquisitions, including our ability to successfully price acquisitions, evaluate opportunities, address operational challenges and support our planned growth;

•

risks relating to our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, including the timing, terms and conditions of any such approvals, and to satisfy other closing conditions in connection with our acquisition agreements, which could affect our ability to complete acquisitions;

•

risks relating to our life and annuities business, including mortality and morbidity rates, lapse rates, the performance of assets to support the insured liabilities, and the risk of catastrophic events;

•

risks relating to the active, or “live,” underwriting businesses we have agreed to acquire, including unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, failure of risk management and loss limitation methods, the risk of a ratings downgrade, cyclicality of demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets;

•

our ability to implement our strategies relating to the active underwriting market;

•

risks relating to our ability to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs;

•

tax, regulatory or legal restrictions or limitations applicable to us or the insurance and reinsurance business generally;

•

changes in tax laws or regulations applicable to us or our subsidiaries, or the risk that we or one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries become subject to significant, or significantly increased, income taxes in the United States or elsewhere;

•

changes in Bermuda law or regulation or the political stability of Bermuda; and

•

changes in accounting policies or practices.

The factors listed above should be not construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and Risk Factors that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and Part II — Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the other materials filed and to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our balance sheets include a substantial amount of assets and, to a lesser extent, liabilities, whose fair values are subject to market risks, which represent the potential for an economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. Our primary market risks are interest rate risk, credit risk, equity price risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following provides an analysis of the potential effects that these market risk exposures (other than foreign currency exchange rate risk, which is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012) could have on our future earnings. This analysis is based on estimated changes. Actual results could differ significantly from amounts stated below, and our analysis should not be construed as our prediction for future market events.

Interest Rate Risk

We have updated the amounts of our interest rate movement analysis previously provided on page 100 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the changes in the amount of short-term and fixed maturity investments we hold as at June 30, 2013. Our short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and available-for-sale are exposed to interest rate risk, as any changes in interest rates have a direct effect on the market values of these investments. As interest rates rise, the market values fall, and the converse is also true.

Our fixed maturity and short-term investments supporting our PPA business have been classified as held-to-maturity and, as a result, are not exposed to interest rate risk. However, they are exposed to credit risk as a result of investment rating downgrades or issuer defaults.

We have estimated the effect that an immediate parallel shift in the U.S. interest rate yield curve would have on our short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and available-for-sale at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The results of this analysis are summarized in the table below.

Credit Risk

As a holder of fixed maturity investments and mutual funds, we also have exposure to credit risk as a result of investment ratings downgrades or issuer defaults. In an effort to mitigate this risk, our investment portfolio consists primarily of investment grade-rated, liquid, fixed maturity investments of short-to-medium duration and mutual funds. At June 30, 2013, approximately 48.7% of our fixed maturity investments and short-term investment portfolio was rated AA or higher by a major rating agency (December 31, 2012: 46.2%) with 13.0% (December 31, 2012: 11.4%) rated BBB or lower. The portfolio as a whole had an average credit quality rating of A+ (December 31, 2012: AA-). In addition, we manage our portfolio pursuant to guidelines that follow what we believe are prudent standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers and, as a result, we do not believe we have significant concentrations of credit risk.

We also have exposure to credit risk as it relates to our reinsurance balances recoverable. Our acquired reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. Our reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements and, therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers.

As at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, reinsurance balances recoverable with a carrying value of $252.4 million and $144.1 million, respectively, were associated with two and one reinsurers, respectively, which represented 10% or more of total reinsurance balances recoverable. Of the $252.4 million and $144.1 million recoverable from reinsurers as at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $93.0 million and $121.6 million, respectively, is secured by a trust fund held for the benefit of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. As at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the two and one reinsurers, respectively, had a minimum credit rating of A+, as provided by a major rating agency.

Equity Price Risk

Our portfolio of equity investments, including the equity fund included in other investments (collectively, “equities at risk”), has exposure to equity price risk, which is the risk of potential loss in fair value resulting from adverse changes in stock prices. Our global equity portfolio is correlated with a blend of the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices and changes in this blend of indices would approximate the impact on our portfolio. The fair value of our equities at risk at June 30, 2013 was $208.7 million (December 31 2012: $170.5 million). At June 30, 2013 the impact of a 10% decline in the overall market prices of our equities at risk would be $20.9 million (December 31, 2012: $17.0 million), on a pre-tax basis.

There have been no other material changes in our market risk exposures since December 31, 2012. For more information refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2013. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we became aware of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting; namely, that we did not maintain effective controls over the identification of securities to be classified as either available-for-sale, held-to-maturity or trading at the date of a business combination involving a life insurance business. This material weakness resulted in amending and restating our unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related financial information as of March 31, 2013 and the filing of an Amended Report on Form 10-Q/A for the first quarter.

Our management, with the oversight of our audit committee, has designed and implemented enhanced controls relating to evaluation and classification of securities acquired in a business combination. Specifically, we now require the classification of investment portfolios acquired to be included in the purchase accounting documentation that is reviewed by our Chief Financial Officer, which management believes has addressed the material weakness. However, solely because these enhanced controls have not yet been tested, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the period presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls

Our management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, management noted that: (i) enhanced controls had been implemented relating to the evaluation and classification of securities acquired in a business combination (as described above) and (ii) new controls had been adopted related to the operation of our new life insurance business, following our March 31, 2013 acquisition of the Pavonia companies. There were no other changes made in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In connection with our acquisition of SeaBright, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”), the members of its board of directors, our merger subsidiary (AML Acquisition, Corp.) and, in one of the cases, us. The first suit was filed September 13, 2012 in the Superior Court of the State of Washington and the second suit was filed September 20, 2012 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that SeaBright’s directors breached their fiduciary duties when negotiating, approving and seeking stockholder approval of the Merger, and that SeaBright and we or our merger subsidiary aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. We believed these suits were without merit; nevertheless, in order to avoid the potential cost and distraction of continued litigation and to eliminate any risk of delay to the closing of the Merger, we, SeaBright and the SeaBright director defendants agreed to settle the two lawsuits, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement required SeaBright to make supplemental information available to its stockholders through a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement did not change the amount of the merger consideration that we paid to SeaBright’s stockholders in any way, nor did it alter any deal terms. On July 19, 2013, the Superior Court of the State of Washington entered an order approving the settlement. This order will become final and unappealable on August 19, 2013. Once the Washington order becomes final and unappealable, the parties will request that the Delaware action also be dismissed.

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation regarding claims. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that lawsuits, arbitrations or other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to asbestos and environmental claims. There can be no assurance that any such future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

We believe that the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed, except as set forth below.

Our pending acquisitions of Atrium/Arden and Torus will represent our strategic expansion into the “live” underwriting business, which will be a new line of business for us and which will present certain different risks and uncertainties than those of our existing run-off businesses. The new risks and uncertainties described below, as well as others we may encounter, could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On June 5, 2013, we entered into definitive agreements with Arden Holdings Limited under which we will acquire Atrium and Arden. Atrium is an underwriting business at Lloyd’s of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately one quarter of the syndicate’s capital. On July 8, 2013, we entered into the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, a global specialty insurer and holding company of six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including one Lloyd’s syndicate.

These acquisitions represent a further evolution of our business, which to date has been limited to the acquisition and management of insurance and reinsurance and portfolios of business in run-off and providing management, consultancy and other services to the insurance and reinsurance industry. Underwriting is inherently a matter of judgment, involving important assumptions about matters that are unpredictable and beyond our control, and for which historical experience and probability analysis may not provide sufficient guidance.

Once we acquire Atrium, Arden, and Torus, we will face risks and uncertainties in addition to those inherent in our core run-off business, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Exposure to claims arising out of unpredictable natural and man-made catastrophic events (including hurricanes, windstorms, tsunamis, severe weather, earthquakes, floods, fires, explosions, acts of terrorism, war or political unrest) and changing climate conditions, which could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition and cause substantial volatility in our results of operations for any fiscal quarter or year;

•

Failure of our risk management and loss limitation methods to adequately manage our exposure to losses;

•

The risk of financial strength ratings downgrades at Torus, which would likely negatively impact our competitive position in the industry, severely limit or prevent us from writing new insurance and reinsurance contracts, permit certain ceding companies to cancel reinsurance contracts we have issued, and inhibit our ability to implement our business strategies successfully;

•

The intense competition for business in this industry, including from major global insurance and reinsurance companies and underwriting syndicates with greater experience and resources than us, or as a result of industry consolidation;

•

Dependence on a limited number of brokers, managing general agents and other third parties to support our business, both in terms of the volume of business we will rely on them to place and the credit risk we will assume from them;

•

The cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance business, which could negatively impact premium rates and policy terms and could cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly from period to period;

•

Increased regulation that we will be subject to as a result of the active underwriting part of our business, as well as our presence in a number of new jurisdictions; and

•

Our ability to integrate these new businesses and support the resulting significant growth of our Company (which will add approximately 750 new employees and a number of new offices worldwide), including by maintaining operating procedures and internal controls to effectively manage the businesses and meet our regulatory and reporting requirements.

Any of these risks, and other risks and uncertainties that we may not now be aware of but may nonetheless encounter, could result in underperformance of the acquired businesses compared to our expectations, and could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A few significant shareholders may influence or control the direction of our business. If the ownership of our ordinary shares continues to be highly concentrated, it may limit your ability and the ability of other shareholders to influence significant corporate decisions.

The interests of Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea and Packer, Trident V, L.P. and its affiliates, or Trident, Beck Mack & Oliver LLC, or Beck Mack, and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, or Goldman Sachs, may not be fully aligned with your interests, and this may lead to a strategy that is not in your best interest. As of June 30, 2013, Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea and Packer, Trident, Beck Mack and Goldman Sachs beneficially owned approximately 11.2%, 2.6%, 2.4%, 9.7%, 8.5% and 4.8%, respectively, of our outstanding Voting Ordinary Shares. In connection with the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, we will issue Voting Ordinary Shares to First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation constituting 9.5% and 2.5%, respectively, of our outstanding Voting Ordinary Shares. First Reserve will also receive Non-Voting Preferred Shares and the right to designate one representative to our Board of Directors.

Although they do not act as a group, Trident, First Reserve, Beck Mack, Goldman Sachs, Corsair and each of Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea and Packer may exercise significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval, and their concentrated holdings may delay or deter possible changes in control of Enstar, which may reduce the market price of our ordinary shares.

The market value of our Voting Ordinary Shares may decline if large numbers of shares are sold, including pursuant to existing registration rights.

We have a registration rights agreement with Mr. Silvester, Trident and certain other of our shareholders. This agreement provides that Mr. Silvester and Trident may request that we effect a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or the Securities Act) of certain of their Voting Ordinary Shares. We have also entered into a registration rights agreement with affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. in connection with our private placement in 2011, which provides that these investors may make two requests that we effect a registration under the Securities Act of the Voting Ordinary Shares and non-voting ordinary shares issued to them in the private placement. In connection with the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, we will enter into a registration rights agreement with First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation. The agreement will require us to file a resale shelf registration statement for their Registrable Securities within 20 business days after the closing, and will provide that, at any time after the six month anniversary of the closing, First Reserve may make three requests that we effect a registration under the Securities Act of the Voting Ordinary Shares (including any Voting Ordinary Shares into which First Reserve’s Non-Voting Preferred Shares may convert) and that Corsair may make one such request.

All of these investors also have (or, in the case of First Reserve and Corsair, will have) “piggyback” registration rights with respect to our registration of Voting Ordinary Shares for our own account or for the account of one or more of our shareholders. As of June 30, 2013, an aggregate of approximately 2.6 million Voting Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Silvester and Trident and 665,529 Voting Ordinary Shares and 2,725,637 non-voting ordinary shares held by affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. are subject to these agreements. Following the closing of the Amalgamation, an aggregate of approximately 1,901,000 Voting Ordinary Shares held by First Reserve and Corsair and approximately 711,000 Non-Voting Preferred Shares held by First Reserve will be subject to their registration rights agreement.

By exercising their registration rights, these holders could cause a large number of ordinary shares to be registered and generally become freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Our ordinary shares have in the past been, and may from time to time continue to be, thinly traded, and significant sales, pursuant to the existing registration rights or otherwise, could adversely affect the market price for our ordinary shares and impair our ability to raise capital through offerings of our equity securities.

commercially sensitive information of the Group Companies if such information cannot be shared with the Buyer prior to Completion in compliance with Applicable Laws.

10.2

If any outstanding obligation or liability of the Buyer expressed to be the subject of the guarantee contained in this clause 10 (the Buyer’s Guarantee) is not or ceases to be valid or enforceable against the Buyer (in whole or in part) on any ground whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any defect in or want of powers of the Buyer or irregular exercise of such powers, or any lack of authority on the part of any person purporting to act on behalf of the Buyer, or any legal or other limitation, disability or incapacity, or any change in the constitution of, or any amalgamation or reconstruction of the Buyer, or the Buyer taking steps to enter into or entering into bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency, or any other step being taken by any person with a view to any of those things), the Buyer’s Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Seller in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Buyer’s Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof.

EXECUTION VERSION

(d)

any other matter or thing which, but for this provision, might exonerate or affect the liability of the Buyer’s Guarantor.

10.5

The Buyer’s Guarantee is in addition to any other security or right now or hereafter available to the Seller and is a continuing security notwithstanding any entering into liquidation, administration or insolvency by the Buyer or steps being taken by any person with a view to any of those things or other incapacity of the Buyer or the Buyer’s Guarantor or any change in the ownership of either of them.

10.6	Until the full and final discharge of all obligations and liabilities (both actual and contingent) which are the subject of the Buyer’s Guarantee, the Buyer’s Guarantor:

(a)

waives all of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Buyer and all rights of contribution against any co-guarantor and agrees not to demand or accept any security from the Buyer or any co-guarantor in respect of any such rights and not to prove in competition with the Seller in the bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency of the Buyer or any such co-guarantor; and

While those restrictions are considered by the parties to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is agreed that if any of those restrictions, by themselves or taken together, are adjudged to go beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Buyer but would be adjudged reasonable if part or parts of their wording were deleted or amended or qualified, or if the periods referred to were reduced or the range of services or area dealt with were reduced in scope, then the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such modification or modifications as may be necessary to make it or them valid and effective.

11.3

The Seller undertakes with the Company and the Buyer that it shall not, and shall procure that no subsidiary of the Seller (for so long as each such subsidiary remains a subsidiary of the Seller) shall at any time after Completion use or interfere with the use by the Buyer or the Company of the name “Atrium” or any other name which in the Buyer’s reasonable opinion is capable of confusion with that name.

If the Seller makes any payment in respect of a claim under the Seller’s Warranties (other than the Title and Capacity Warranties) and the relevant Group Company receives a benefit or refund within 48 months of the date of receipt of such payment which the Seller can demonstrate should have been, but was not, taken into account in computing the liability of the Seller in respect of the claim and would have reduced the liability had this been so, the provisions of paragraph 5.4 of Schedule 4 shall apply in respect of such payment and such benefit or refund.

6.3

If:

(a)

the provisions in the Accounts, (excluding any provision made in respect of any insurance or reinsurance business), prove to be, in aggregate on an overall net basis, an over provision; or

the net amount over provided or, as the case may be, the sum so received less an amount equal to any liabilities to Taxation on such recovery (or which would arise but for the availability of any Relief) shall be set off against the liability (if any) of the Seller in respect of a Relevant Claim.

The Company Interim Large Losses Statement shall also include: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between (x) the aggregate amount of the Estimated Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events less (y) $25,000,000 (the “Estimated Excess Large Losses”) and (ii) the dollar amount equal to 1.5 times the Estimated Excess Large Losses (the “Escrowed Large Losses”), provided, however, that if such number is greater than zero but less than $20,000,000 (the “Large Losses Escrow Minimum”), the Escrowed Large Losses shall equal the Large Losses Escrow Minimum.

(b) Concurrent with the Effective Time, Parent shall deduct the Escrowed Large Losses from the cash portion of the Closing Payment Amount due to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.6 and deposit the Escrowed Large Losses into the Escrow Account, which amount will be segregated and held separate from the Escrow Amount.

All Objections that are resolved between the Parties or are determined by the Actuarial Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and disbursements of the Actuarial Firm shall be allocated to the Securityholders’ Representative in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Actuarial Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Securityholders’ Representative (as finally determined by the Actuarial Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted, if any, and the balance shall be paid by Parent. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall enter into an engagement letter with the Actuarial Firm promptly after its retention, which includes customary indemnification and other provisions.

(ii) If the Final Excess Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events are less than the Estimated Large Losses for such Interim Large Losses Events (the amount of such deficiency, the “Large Losses Deficiency”), then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Excess Large Losses are finally determined, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrowed Large Losses (A) an amount to Parent equal to the difference between (1) the Estimated Excess Large Losses less (2) the Large Losses Deficiency, and (B) an amount to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Equity Securityholders) equal to any remaining Escrowed Large Losses after making the disbursement contemplated by clause (A), it being understood and agreed that upon the release of the remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses to the Company Equity Securityholders, each such holder shall be entitled to receive in cash (x) the amount of such remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses multiplied by (y) such Company Equity Securityholders’ Pro Rata Portion.

Each of Parent, Amalgamation Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain

- 73 -

consents of all Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All costs incurred in connection with obtaining such consents, including the filing fees under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws, shall be borne equally by Parent and the Company.

The Company and Parent shall have the right to participate in and shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, receive reasonable prior notice of, all meetings (telephonic or otherwise) of the other party with any insurance regulators in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.5 shall require either Parent or Company to provide or cause to be provided to the other confidential information submitted to any Governmental Entity or the portions of notices or other communications received from or with Governmental Entities relating or referring to confidential information.

- 74 -

(c) In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, Parent, Amalgamation Sub and the Company agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use reasonable best efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.5 or any other section of this Agreement, none of Parent, Amalgamation Sub or any of their Affiliates shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action or refrain from taking any action or agree or commit to any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement of any Governmental Entity (except as set forth in Schedule 6.5) that would materially adversely affect the economic benefits reasonably expected to be derived by Parent under this Agreement or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder (a “Burdensome Condition”); provided that, in the event that a Governmental Entity requires that the terms of this Agreement be changed or altered in a manner that adversely affects any such benefits reasonably expected to be derived hereunder, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts and cooperate and negotiate in good faith to agree to alternative terms to this Agreement that are acceptable to such Governmental Entity and provide benefits substantially similar to the benefits provided under the original terms thereof.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or prior to the Closing, any other announcement or communication to the employees, clients or suppliers of the Company, shall be issued or made by any Party without the joint approval of Parent, on one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative, on the other, unless required by Law (in the reasonable opinion of counsel) in which case Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to its issuance, distribution or publication; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prohibit the Company from making any announcement to its employees, equityholders, customers and other business relations to the extent the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable.

Section 6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Group Company, as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect and that Parent and the Group Companies on their own behalf, will perform and discharge the Group Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of

- 75 -

the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees or agents of any Group Company, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Contemporaneously with the Closing, Parent shall, at its expense, and shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, purchase and maintain in effect, without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, however, that the Amalgamated Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date and provided further that in no event shall Parent be required to pay more than 250% of the current annual premium payable by the Group Companies for such insurance.

(c) The directors, officers, employees and agents of each Group Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.7 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Company.

Section 6.8 Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not take, or permit any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to take, any action to solicit, encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Parent and/or its respective Affiliates) concerning any purchase of any of the Company’s equity securities or any merger, amalgamation, sale of substantial assets or similar transaction involving any Group Company, other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Section 6.1 (each such acquisition transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”); provided, however, that Parent hereby acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has provided information relating to the Group Companies and has afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction and that such information, access and discussions could reasonably enable another Person to form a basis for an Acquisition Transaction without any breach by the Company of this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9 Documents and Information. After the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause the Amalgamated Company and the Group Companies, until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Group Companies in existence on the Closing Date and make the same available

- 76 -

for inspection and copying by the Securityholders’ Representative (at the Securityholders’ Representative’s expense) during normal business hours of the Amalgamated Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice.

Section 6.10 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by, or an action, proceeding or investigation instituted by, any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, after such Indemnified Party learns of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any delay or failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof at its own expense with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party). Any such assumption of the defense

- 86 -

thereof shall not be deemed an admission by the Indemnifying Party that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not as long as it conducts such defense be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise set forth herein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm to represent the Indemnified Party and, if applicable, local counsel in the jurisdiction in which an action is held. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof.

(c) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action giving rise to a Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) All of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and shall cause the Group Companies to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 9.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The rights of the Parent Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(i) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Company Fundamental Representation or the representations or warranties in Section 4.2 (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until the total amount of Losses which the Parent Indemnitees would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i), but for this Section 9.4(a), exceeds $7,000,000, in which case, the Parent Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount;

- 87 -

(ii) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Company Fundamental Representation or the representations or warranties in Section 4.2 (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover for any particular Loss (including any series of related Losses) pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless such Loss (including any series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $100,000; and

(iii) the maximum Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) shall be the Escrow Amount, and the Escrow Amount shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery with respect to such Losses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations contained in Section 9.4(a)(i) and Section 9.4(a)(ii) above shall not apply to any claims made pursuant to Section 9.2(b). Any claim reasonably identified by a Parent Indemnitee or a Group Company as a claim made pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall not be treated as a claim made pursuant to Section 9.2(a).

(b) The rights of the Securityholder Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(c) are subject to the following limitations:

(i) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Parent Fundamental Representation (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Securityholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) until the total amount of Losses which the Securityholder Indemnitees would recover under Section 9.2(c)(i), but for this Section 9.4(b), exceeds $7,000,000, in which case, the Securityholder Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount;

(ii) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Parent Fundamental Representation (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Securityholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover for any particular Loss (including any series of related Losses) pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) unless such Loss (including any series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $100,000; and

(iii) the maximum Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall be $46,000,000.

(c) The rights of the Parent Indemnitees or the Securityholder Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(i) the amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of any amounts actually received by the Parent Indemnitees or Securityholder Indemnitees, as applicable, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses;

(ii) neither the Parent Indemnitees nor the Securityholder Indemnitees, respectively, shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(c), respectively, for any Loss to the extent that prior to the date hereof the Group Companies or the Parent Group Companies, respectively, recorded a reserve in their consolidated books and records with respect to such Loss; and

- 88 -

(iii) neither the Parent Indemnitees nor the Securityholder Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of any consequential damages (including loss of revenue, income or profits, loss or diminution in value of assets or securities or punitive damages and, in particular, consequential damages calculated by “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology, and in no case shall any such valuation methodology be used in calculating the amount of any Losses) or punitive, special or exemplary damages.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on the date that the Escrow Amount is reduced to zero (0), the Parent Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on the date that the aggregate amount paid to all Securityholder Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 equals the Escrow Amount, the Securityholder Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification under Section 9.2(c). The Parent Indemnitees and the Securityholder Indemnitees shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under any insurance coverage or from any collateral source as referred to in Section 9.4(c)(i). In any case where a Parent Indemnitee recovers, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Parent Indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), such Parent Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Escrow Agent for re-inclusion in the Escrow Amount the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Parent Indemnitee in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid out of the Escrow Amount to or on behalf of such Parent Indemnitee in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Securityholders’ Representative or any Securityholder Indemnitee in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

Section 9.5 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All payments made out of the Escrow Amount to or for the benefit of Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 shall be treated as adjustments to the Company Equity Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law, and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance and/or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.15, from and after the Closing the rights of the parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for such parties with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to (i) this Agreement or its subject matter or (ii) any other matter relating to any of the Group Companies or Parent Group Companies prior to the Closing, the operation of their respective businesses prior to the Closing, or any other transaction or state of facts involving any of the Group Companies or Parent Group Companies prior to the Closing (including any common law or statutory rights or remedies for environmental, health, or safety matters), in each case regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, and that the Parent Indemnitees and Securityholder Indemnitees shall have no other remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the

- 89 -

terms and conditions of, Section 9.2. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Indemnitees, and the Securityholders’ Representative acknowledges and agrees that the Securityholder Indemnitees, may not avoid such limitation on liability by (x) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (y) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. The Parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification (including this Article 9), and the limits imposed on Parent’s, the Parent Indemnitees’ and the Securityholder Indemnitees’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 9.1 and Section 9.2) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Company Equity Securityholders hereunder. Subject to the foregoing and Section 11.15, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any Laws at common law, in equity or otherwise (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, including those arising under any Environmental Laws).

Section 9.7 Manner of Payment; Escrow Release.

(a) Any amounts owing to the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 shall be made solely by disbursement of a portion of the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In no event shall the Parent Indemnitees be entitled to recover an aggregate amount pursuant to this Article 9 in excess of the available portion of the Escrow Amount at any given time.

(b) Any portion of the Escrow Amount released by the Escrow Agent for payment to the Company Equity Securityholders shall be released in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Parent and the Securityholders Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent as necessary to make any distribution from the Escrow Account as necessary to effectuate the release of the Escrow Amount as contemplated by and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.8 Tax Contests.

(a) After the Closing, Parent Indemnitee or Group Company shall promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative in writing of the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on Parent or Group Company which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for indemnification under this Article 9 (a “Tax Contest”); provided, that any delay or failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect Parent Indemnitee or Group Company’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(b) with respect to such Tax Contest. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Parent Indemnitee or Group Company) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

- 90 -

(b) In the case of a Tax Contest that relates to (i) a taxable period ending on or before, or that includes, December 31, 2012, or (ii) any matter which could increase any Parent Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified for Taxes (including pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of this Agreement), the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to control such Tax Contest; provided, however, that (i) such right to control such Tax Contest shall revert to the Parent Indemnitee if the reasonably expected cost of any settlement or other resolution of such Tax Contest would exceed the available portion of the Escrow Amount, provided that in such case the Parent shall not settle or otherwise resolve such Tax contest without the prior express written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) regardless of such right to control such Tax Contest, no settlement or other resolution of such Tax Contest shall be agreed by the Securityholders’ Representative without the prior express written consent of the Parent Indemnitee (which consent should not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or other resolution would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any Parent Indemnitee’s or a Group Company’s future tax position.

ARTICLE X

SECURITYHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

Section 10.1 Appointment of the Securityholders’ Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Amalgamation by the Company Shareholders, each Company Equity Securityholder (regardless of whether or not such Company Equity Securityholder votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Amalgamation, whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu thereof) hereby initially appoints, as of the date of this Agreement, the Securityholders’ Representative, as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Company Equity Securityholder, and authorizes the Securityholders’ Representative to take any and all actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Subject to the terms of this Article 10, the Securityholders’ Representative shall take any and all actions that it reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement for and on behalf of the Company Equity Securityholders, as fully as such Company Equity Securityholders were acting on their own behalf, including in connection with the determination of the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14 and the investigation, defense and/or settlement of any claims for which any Parent Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to Article 9.

(b) All decisions made and actions taken by the Securityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, including any agreement between the Securityholders’ Representative and any Parent Indemnitee relating to determination of the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14 or the defense or settlement of any claims for which any Parent Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to Article 9, shall be binding upon all of the Company Equity Securityholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them, and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the

- 91 -

same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) imposes any material non-monetary obligation on (A) all or substantially all of the Company Equity Securityholders except with the written consent of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them), provided that any judgment or settlement that imposes injunctive or other equitable relief on any of the Company Equity Securityholders shall require the consent of the Company Equity Securityholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the Company Equity Shares (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them), or (B) any specific Company Equity Securityholder or group of related Company Equity Securityholders except with the written consent of such Company Equity Securityholder or Company Equity Securityholders; provided, however, that in the case of either clauses (A) or (B) above, neither the Securityholders’ Representative, Parent nor the Amalgamated Company shall be responsible for any loss of rights under this Agreement or other losses that result from the failure by the Securityholders’ Representative to consent to the entry of any such judgment or enter into any such settlement or (ii) adversely affects in any material respect a particular Company Equity Securityholder on a discriminatory basis as compared to the treatment afforded to all other Company Equity Securityholders without such Company Equity Securityholder’s consent.

(c) The Securityholders’ Representative shall not have any liability to any of the Parties hereto or to the Company Equity Securityholders for any act done or omitted hereunder or otherwise in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder as the Securityholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any of the Parties hereto or to the Company Equity Securityholders for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Company Equity Securityholders shall severally and not jointly, and pro rata in proportion to the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them, indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative and hold him, her or it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Securityholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out of pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative; provided that any finding of gross negligence or bad faith shall only be effective if determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Securityholders’ Representative may receive reimbursement directly from the Company Equity Securityholders for such losses, liabilities or expenses; provided, that the Securityholders’ Representative Fund deposited by Parent pursuant to Section 3.13 shall be used in full by the Securityholders’ Representative before the Securityholders’ Representative requests any such reimbursement.

(d) The Securityholders’ Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Securityholder Indemnitees to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement and to take any and all actions on behalf of, receive and give all notices on behalf of, execute and deliver any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute and deliver or waive any and all rights of, the Securityholder Indemnitees under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect

- 92 -

of this Section 10.1(d), any claims or disputes between or among any Parent Indemnitee, the Securityholders’ Representative and/or any one or more Company Equity Securityholders relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall in the case of any claim or dispute asserted by or against or involving any such Company Equity Securityholder (other than any claim against or disputed with the Securityholders’ Representative), be asserted or otherwise addressed solely by the Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of such Company Equity Securityholder (and not by such Company Equity Securityholder acting on its own behalf).

(e) By his, her or its adoption or approval of the Amalgamation, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement, as the case may be, each Company Equity Securityholder agrees, in addition to the foregoing, that:

(i) Any Person, including Parent, Amalgamation Sub, the Amalgamated Company and the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Securityholders’ Representative as to (x) the determination of, or settlement of any dispute with respect to, the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14, (y) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by such Person pursuant to Article 9, or (z) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have any cause of action against such Person for any action taken by such Person in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Securityholders’ Representative;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Securityholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Equity Securityholders and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have any cause of action against the Securityholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Securityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the matters described in this Section 10.1; and

(iii) the provisions of this Section 10.1 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Person may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) The Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may resign upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Parent, the Escrow Agent and each Company Equity Securityholder. If the then acting Securityholders’ Representative shall give notice of intent to resign, the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them) shall, by written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent, appoint a successor Securityholders’ Representative as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following such notice of intent to resign. In addition, the Person then serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may be replaced from time to time by

- 93 -

the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them) upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Parent, the Escrow Agent and each Company Equity Securityholder. Each successor Securityholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Securityholders’ Representative, and the term “Securityholders’ Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Securityholders’ Representatives.

It is accordingly agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, on the understanding that termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d) shall not be deemed “valid” for purposes of this Section 11.15 if the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the date set forth in Section 8.1(d) is solely the

- 99 -

result of the failure by the Party seeking termination to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Parent’s and Amalgamation Sub’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is required to do so hereunder), in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

Section 11.16 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP has acted as legal counsel to certain of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) and the Company, its Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) after the Closing, each of Parent and the Amalgamated Company (including on behalf of the Group Companies) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP representing any of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and/or its Affiliates) after the Closing as such representation may relate to the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between any Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies). Accordingly, the Group Companies shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP relating to its engagement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the applicable Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Group Companies shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the applicable Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and any of the Group Companies or otherwise.

Section 11.17 USD Equivalent. To the extent computation of any amounts contemplated by this Agreement (including the Company Equity Consideration and any of the thresholds or other amounts contemplated by Article 9) include a currency other than U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the USD Equivalent.

Section 11.18 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Management and Operation of the Company

Section 2.01 Board of Directors.

(a) The Shareholders agree that the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed through a board of directors (the “Board”) consisting of five members (each, a “Director”). The Directors shall be elected to the Board in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) The Enstar Shareholder shall have the right to designate three Directors, who shall initially be Paul O’Shea, Nick Packer and Richard Harris (the “Enstar Directors”); and

(ii) The Trident Shareholders shall have the right to designate two Directors, who shall initially be Darran A. Baird and James D. Carey (the “Trident Directors”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Enstar Director(s) present at any meeting of the Board or committee thereof shall collectively exercise voting power equal to the Enstar Shareholder’s percentage ownership of the Company divided by the aggregate percentage ownership of the Company held by the Enstar Shareholder and the Trident Shareholders, and the Trident Director(s) present at any meeting of the Board or committee thereof shall collectively exercise voting power equal to the Trident Shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company divided by the aggregate percentage ownership of the Company held by the Enstar Shareholder and the Trident Shareholders.

(b) Each Shareholder shall vote all Common Shares over which such Shareholder has voting control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Shareholder’s control (including in its capacity as shareholder, director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or special meeting of the Shareholders or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) to elect to the Board any individual designated by an Initial Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(c) Each Initial Shareholder shall have the right at any time to remove (with or without cause) any Director designated by such Initial Shareholder for election to the Board and each other Shareholder shall vote all Common Shares over which such Shareholder has voting control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Shareholder’s control (including in its capacity as shareholder, director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or special meeting of the Shareholders or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) to remove from the Board any individual designated by such Initial Shareholder that such Initial Shareholder desires to remove pursuant to this Section 2.01(c). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, unless an Initial Shareholder shall otherwise consent in writing, no other Shareholder shall take any action to cause the removal of any Director(s) designated by an Initial Shareholder.

(d) In the event a vacancy is created on the Board at any time and for any reason (whether as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal pursuant to Section 2.01(c)), the Initial Shareholder who designated such individual shall have the right to designate a different individual to replace such Director and each other Shareholder shall vote all Common Shares over which such Shareholder has voting control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Shareholder’s control (including in its capacity as shareholder, director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or special meeting of the Shareholders or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) to elect to the Board any individual designated by such Initial Shareholder.

(e) The Board shall have the right to establish any committee of Directors as the Board shall deem appropriate from time to time. Subject to this Agreement, the Organizational Documents and Applicable Law, committees of the Board shall have the rights, powers and privileges granted to such committee by the Board from time to time. Any delegation of authority to a committee of Directors to take any action must be approved in the same manner as would be required for the Board to approve such action directly. Any committee of Directors shall be composed of the same proportion of Enstar Directors and Trident Directors as the Initial Shareholders shall then be entitled to appoint to the Board pursuant to this Section 2.01.

(f) The presence of a majority of Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum; provided, that at least one Trident Director is present at such meeting. If a quorum is not achieved at any duly called meeting, such meeting may be postponed to a time no earlier than 48 hours after written notice of such postponement has been given to the Directors. If no Trident Director is present for three consecutive meetings, then the presence, in person or by proxy, of Directors designated by Shareholders holding at least 51% of the Common Shares shall constitute a quorum for the next meeting.

Section 2.02 Voting Arrangements. In addition to any vote or consent of the Board or the Shareholders of the Company required by Applicable Law, without the consent of the Trident Shareholders the Company shall not take any action or enter into any commitment to take any action to (and shall cause its Material Subsidiaries to not take any action or enter into any commitment to take any action to):

(b) make any material changes in the tax or accounting methods or policies or the tax elections of the Company or any Material Subsidiary (other than as required by Applicable Law or GAAP) that would have a materially adverse impact on the Trident Shareholders;

(c) enter into, amend in any material respect, waive or terminate any Related Party Agreement other than (i) the entry into a Related Party Agreement that is on an arm’s length basis and on terms no less favorable to the Company or the applicable Material Subsidiary than those that could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party and (ii) any reinsurance or other risk transfer arrangement with any Affiliate of the Enstar Shareholder in which all or substantially all of the underlying insurance risk is borne by the Affiliate of the Enstar Shareholder, provided, however, that any such reinsurance or other risk transfer transaction provides the Company a market rate fronting fee;

(d) enter into or effect any material transaction or series of related transactions outside of the ordinary course of business involving the purchase, lease, license, exchange or other acquisition (including by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or acquisition of assets) by the Company or any Material Subsidiary of any assets and/or equity interests of any Person that are material in amount to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, other than the acquisition by the Company of Arden Re and Atrium;

(e) except for a Change of Control effected in accordance with Section 3.03 which will not require the consent of the Trident Shareholders, enter into or effect any material transaction or series of related transactions outside of the ordinary course of business involving the sale, lease, license, exchange or other disposition (including by merger, consolidation, sale of stock or sale of assets) by the Company or any Material Subsidiary of any stock or assets that are material in amount to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole;

(f) grant or authorize the grant of Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in an amount greater than 10% of the value of the then-outstanding Common Shares to any existing or prospective officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any stock option, employee stock purchase or similar equity-based plans or other compensation agreements;

(g) initiate or consummate an Initial Public Offering or make a public offering and sale of Common Shares or any other securities; or

(h) dissolve, wind-up or liquidate the Company or any Material Subsidiary or initiate a bankruptcy proceeding involving the Company or any Material Subsidiary.

Section 2.03 Consultation on CEO Matters. The Company shall consult with, but need not obtain the consent of, the Trident Shareholder prior to taking any action or entering into any commitment to take any action to appoint or remove (with or without cause) the Company’s or any Material Subsidiary’s chief executive officer or enter into or amend any material term of any employment agreement or arrangement with the Company’s or any Material Subsidiary’s chief executive officer.

Section 2.04 Atrium Underwriting Group Limited. The Trident Shareholder shall have the right to designate one member of the board of directors of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited. The Initial Shareholders shall, and shall cause their Director designees to, take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this provision.

Section 3.01 General Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Except as permitted pursuant to Section 3.01(b), each Shareholder agrees that such Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily Transfer any of its Common Shares prior to the fifth anniversary of the earlier of the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Arden Re and the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Atrium (the “Lock-up Period”).

(b) The provisions of Section 3.01(a), Section 3.02, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 shall not apply to any of the following Transfers by any Shareholder of any of its Common Shares (i) to a Permitted Transferee or (ii) pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company with a Third Party Purchaser that has been approved in compliance with Section 2.02(e).

(c) In addition to any legends required by Applicable Law, each certificate (if any) representing the Common Shares of the Company shall bear a legend substantially in the following form (and if the Common Shares are not certificated, the Company’s ledger shall include a notation substantially in the following form omitting the reference to a certificate):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY). NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT.”

(d) Prior notice shall be given to the Company by the transferor of any Transfer (whether or not to a Permitted Transferee) of any Common Shares. Prior to consummation of any Transfer by any Shareholder of any of its Common Shares, such party shall cause the transferee thereof to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon any Transfer by any Shareholder of any of its Common Shares, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee thereof shall be substituted for, and shall assume all the rights and obligations under this Agreement of, the transferor thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Shareholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its Common Shares (i) except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, and then, if requested by the Company, only upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or any applicable foreign securities laws, (ii) if it would cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be required to register as an investment company under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any comparable foreign law, or (iii) if it would cause the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be deemed plan assets as defined under the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or any comparable foreign law or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company. In any event, the Board may refuse the Transfer to any Person if (i) such Transfer would have a material adverse effect on the Company as a result of any regulatory or other restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority or (ii) any non-de minimis adverse tax consequence to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Shareholder or any of their Affiliates would result from such Transfer.

(f) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Common Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Common Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Right of First Offer.

(a) At any time following the Lock-up Period, and subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 3.02, each Shareholder shall have a right of first offer if any other Shareholder (such Shareholder, an “Offering Shareholder”) proposes to Transfer any Common Shares (the “Offered Shares”) owned by it to any Third Party

Purchaser. Following the Lock-up Period, each time the Offering Shareholder proposes to Transfer any Offered Shares (other than Transfers permitted pursuant to Section 3.01 and Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.03), the Offering Shareholder shall first make an offering of the Offered Shares to the other Shareholders in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 3.02.

(b) The Offering Shareholder shall give written notice (the “Offering Shareholder Notice”) to the Company and the other Shareholders stating its bona fide intention to Transfer the Offered Shares and specifying the number of Offered Shares and the material terms and conditions, including the price, pursuant to which the Offering Shareholder proposes to Transfer the Offered Shares. The Offering Shareholder Notice shall constitute the Offering Shareholder’s offer to Transfer the Offered Shares to the other Shareholders, which offer shall be irrevocable for a period of 20 Business Days (the “ROFO Notice Period”).

(c) By delivering the Offering Shareholder Notice, the Offering Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company and to each other Shareholder that: (i) the Offering Shareholder has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares; (ii) the Offering Shareholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section 3.02; and (iii) the Offered Shares are free and clear of any and all Liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Upon receipt of the Offering Shareholder Notice, each Shareholder receiving such notice shall have until the end of the ROFO Notice Period to elect to purchase any amount of the Offered Shares by delivering a written notice (a “ROFO Notice”) to the Offering Shareholder and the Company stating that it agrees to purchase such specified amount of Offered Shares on the terms specified in the Offering Shareholder Notice. Any ROFO Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the applicable Shareholder. Each Shareholder that delivers a ROFO Notice shall be a “Purchasing Shareholder.” If the Shareholders do not, in the aggregate, elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares by the end of the ROFO Notice Period, each Purchasing Shareholder shall then have the right to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Shareholders. As promptly as practicable following the ROFO Notice Period, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver a written notice to each Purchasing Shareholder stating the number of remaining Offered Shares available for purchase. For a period of 10 Business Days following the receipt of such notice, each Purchasing Shareholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Offered Shares by delivering a subsequent ROFO Notice specifying the number of additional Offered Shares it desires to purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders may only exercise their rights under this Section 3.02 to purchase the Offered Shares if, after giving effect to all elections made under this Section 3.02(d), no less than all of the Offered Shares will be purchased by the Purchasing Shareholders.

(e) Each Shareholder that does not deliver a ROFO Notice during the ROFO Notice Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such Shareholder’s rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02.

(f) If no Shareholder delivers a ROFO Notice or if the Purchasing Shareholders elect to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares in accordance with Section 3.02(d), the Offering Shareholder may, during the 180-day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFO Notice Period, which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 270 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals (the “Waived ROFO Transfer Period”), and subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, Transfer all of the Offered Shares to a Third Party Purchaser on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Third Party Purchaser than those set forth in the Offering Shareholder Notice. If the Offering Shareholder does not consummate the Transfer of the Offered Shares within the Waived ROFO Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Offered Shares shall not be offered to any Person unless first re-offered to the Shareholders in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(g) Each Shareholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate any Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.02, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

(h) At the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver to the Purchasing Shareholders the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be sold (if any), accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price therefor from such Purchasing Shareholders by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 3.03 Drag-along Rights.

(a) If at any time following the Lock-up Period the Enstar Shareholder (together with its Permitted Transferees) holds no less than 55% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company and receives a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser to consummate, in one transaction, or a series of related transactions, a Change of Control (a “Drag-along Sale”), the Enstar Shareholder shall have the right to require that each other Shareholder (each, a “Drag-along Shareholder”) participate in such Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 3.03, provided, however, that no Drag-along Shareholder shall be required to participate in the Drag-along Sale if the consideration for the Drag-along Sale is other than cash or registered securities listed on an established U.S. or foreign securities exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Drag-along Shareholder shall vote in favor of the transaction and take all actions to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.

(b) The Enstar Shareholder shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 3.03 by delivering a written notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to the Company and each Drag-along Shareholder no later than 20 days prior to the closing date of such Drag-along Sale. The Drag-along Notice shall make reference to the Enstar Shareholder’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

(i) the number of Common Shares to be sold by the Enstar Shareholder, if the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Shares;

(ii) the identity of the Third Party Purchaser;

(iii) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Drag-along Sale;

(iv) the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and

(v) a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

(c) If the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Shares, then, subject to Section 3.03(d), each Drag-along Shareholder shall Transfer the number of shares equal to the product of (x) the number of Common Shares held by such Drag-along Shareholder and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Common Shares the Enstar Shareholder proposes to sell or transfer in the Drag-along Sale and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of Common Shares then held by the Enstar Shareholder.

pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Enstar Shareholder and each Drag-along Shareholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Enstar Shareholder and each Drag-along Shareholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Enstar Shareholder and each such Drag-along Shareholder in connection with the Drag-along Sale.

(e) The fees and expenses of the Enstar Shareholder incurred in connection with a Drag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Shareholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Enstar Shareholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Shareholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third Party Purchaser, shall be shared by all the Shareholders on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each Shareholder; provided, that no Shareholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Drag-along Sale.

(f) Each Shareholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Drag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Enstar Shareholder.

(g) The Enstar Shareholder shall have 180 days following the date of the Drag-along Notice in which to consummate the Drag-along Sale, on the terms set forth in the Drag-along Notice (which such 180-day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 270 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such period, the Enstar Shareholder has not completed the Drag-along Sale, the Enstar Shareholder may not then effect a transaction subject to this Section 3.03 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04 Tag-along Rights.

(a) If at any time following the Lock-up Period a Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to Transfer any shares of its Common Shares to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transferee”) (and if the Selling Shareholder is the Enstar Shareholder and it cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 3.03), each other Shareholder (each, a “Tag-along Shareholder”) shall be permitted to participate in such Transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04.

(ii) the identity of the Proposed Transferee;

(iii) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale;

(c) Each Tag-along Shareholder shall exercise its right to participate in a Transfer of Common Shares by the Selling Shareholder subject to this Section 3.04 by delivering to the Selling Shareholder a written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of Common Shares to be Transferred by it no later than five Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The offer of each Tag-along Shareholder set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Shareholder shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Transfer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04. The Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Shareholder shall have the right to Transfer in a Transfer subject to this Section 3.04 the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Common Shares the Proposed Transferee proposes to buy as stated in the Sale Notice and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Common Shares then held by the Selling Shareholder or such Tag-along Shareholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares then held by the Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Shareholder.

(d) Each Tag-along Shareholder who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 3.04(c) above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag-along Shareholder’s rights to participate in such Transfer, and the Selling Shareholder shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Shareholder) thereafter be free to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee its Common Shares at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Shareholder than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Shareholders.

(e) Each Tag-along Shareholder participating in a Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall receive the same consideration per share as the Selling Shareholder after deduction of such Tag-along Shareholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with Section 3.04(g) below.

(f) Each Tag-along Shareholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Shareholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Shareholder, the Tag-along Shareholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Shareholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Shareholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Selling Shareholder and each such Tag-along Shareholder in connection with any Tag-along Sale.

(g) The fees and expenses of the Selling Shareholder incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Shareholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Shareholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by all the Shareholders participating in the Tag-along Sale on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each such Shareholder; provided, that no Shareholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-along Sale.

(h) Each Tag-along Shareholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Shareholder.

(j) If the Selling Shareholder Transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its Common Shares in breach of this Section 3.04, then each Tag-along Shareholder shall have the right to Transfer to the Selling Shareholder, and the Selling Shareholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Shareholder, the number of Common Shares that such Tag-along Shareholder would have had the right to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.04, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Common Shares from the Selling Shareholder, but without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Shareholder to the Selling Shareholder; provided, that, nothing contained in this Section 3.04 shall preclude any Shareholder from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Shareholder as a result of its breach of this Section 3.04.

appraiser (the “Independent Appraiser”) to determine the Fair Market Value (determined on a going concern basis as between a willing buyer and a willing seller with no discount for illiquidity or a minority interest) of the Common Shares held by the Trident Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees. Each of the Enstar Shareholder and the Trident Shareholders (acting together) shall provide the Independent Appraiser with its respective determination of Fair Market Value, together with the supporting calculations and analyses prepared by such Initial Shareholder with respect thereto. The Initial Shareholders shall instruct the Independent Appraiser to determine, in writing within 30 days of such Independent Appraiser’s appointment, which of the Initial Shareholders’ determination of Fair Market Value is the more reasonable, and such determination shall be final for all purposes of this Section 3.05. The costs and expenses of the Independent Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Initial Shareholders.

(ii) To enable the Independent Appraiser to conduct the valuation, the Initial Shareholders and the Company shall furnish to the Independent Appraiser such information as the Independent Appraiser may request, including information regarding the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company’s assets, properties, financial condition, earnings and prospects.

(d) Within 90 days after the date of the final determination of the Fair Market Value pursuant to this Section 3.05 (which period shall be extended solely to the extent needed to obtain any required Government Approvals, provided, that the Shareholders shall, and shall cause their Permitted Transferees to, have used their reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals in a timely manner, and provided, further, that in no event shall the Enstar Shareholder be obligated to pay the purchase price for a sale and purchase pursuant to the Put Right in cash due to any failure to obtain any Government Approvals that are required to permit the Trident Shareholders to acquire or hold any unrestricted ordinary shares of Enstar), the Trident Shareholders shall, and shall cause their Permitted Transferees to, sell to the Enstar Shareholder, free and clear of any Liens, all of the Common Shares held by them.

(e) Each Shareholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 3.05, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

immediately available funds, (B) unrestricted ordinary shares of Enstar (provided that such ordinary shares are then listed or admitted to trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange), or (C) a combination of (A) and (B). If the purchase price at the closing of any sale and purchase pursuant to this Section 3.05 consists of unrestricted ordinary shares of Enstar, the value of such ordinary shares will be deemed to equal the average of the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares over the 10 trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of any such closing.

(g) Enstar hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Trident Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge of the Enstar Shareholder’s obligations under this Section 3.05. The Trident Shareholders hereby agree that in no event shall Enstar be required to pay any amount to the Trident Shareholders or their Permitted Transferees under, in respect of, or in connection with this Agreement other than as expressly set forth herein.

Pre-emptive Rights and Other Agreements

Section 4.01 Pre-emptive Right.

(a) The Company hereby grants to each Initial Shareholder (each, a “Pre-emptive Shareholder”) the right to purchase its pro rata portion of any new Common Shares (other than any Excluded Securities) (the “New Securities”) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any Person.

(b) The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance described in subsection (a) above to the Pre-emptive Shareholders within five Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including:

(i) the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis, that such issuance would represent;

(ii) the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least 20 Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice; and

(iii) the proposed purchase price per share.

the amount of New Securities equal to the product of (x) the total number of New Securities to be issued by the Company on the issuance date and (y) a fraction determined by dividing (A) the number of Common Shares owned by such Pre-emptive Shareholder immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of Common Shares owned by all Initial Shareholders on such date immediately prior to such issuance (the “Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion”) by delivering a written notice to the Company. Such Pre-emptive Shareholder’s election to purchase New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable.

(d) No later than five Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Pre-emptive Shareholder in writing of the number of New Securities that each Pre-emptive Shareholder has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-allotment Notice”). Each Pre-emptive Shareholder exercising its right to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Shareholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Pre-emptive Shareholder fails to exercise its right under this Section 4.01 to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Shareholder”), such Exercising Shareholder may purchase all or any portion of such Non-Exercising Shareholder’s allotment (the “Over-allotment New Securities”) by giving written notice to the Company (within five Business Days of receipt of the Over-allotment Notice) setting forth the number of Over-allotment New Securities that such Exercising Shareholder is willing to purchase (the “Over-allotment Exercise Period”). Such Exercising Shareholder’s election to purchase Over-allotment New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. If more than one Exercising Shareholder elects to exercise its right of over-allotment, each Exercising Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the number of Over-allotment New Securities it elected to purchase in its written notice; provided, that if the over-allotment New Securities are over-subscribed, each Exercising Shareholder shall purchase its pro rata portion of the available Over-allotment New Securities based upon the relative Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portions of the Exercising Shareholders.

(e) The Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to any New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.01(d) above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced) so long as such issuance or sale is closed within 180 days after the expiration of the Over-allotment Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such 180-day period for a reasonable time not to exceed 270 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01.

(f) Upon the consummation of the issuance of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 4.01, the Company shall deliver to each Exercising Shareholder certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder or under Applicable Law and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Shareholders and after payment therefor, duly authorized and validly issued. Each Exercising Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

Section 4.02 Corporate Opportunities. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or under Applicable Law to the contrary (to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law), (i) the Initial Shareholders and their respective Affiliates (A) may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature and description (whether similar or dissimilar to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), independently or with others, and none of the Company, any Subsidiary, any other Shareholder, and each of their respective Affiliates shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or to any such investment or interest of the Enstar Shareholder, the Trident Shareholders, any Enstar Director or any Trident Director and any of its or their respective Affiliates to any income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture shall not be deemed wrongful or improper, and (B) shall not be obligated to present any investment opportunity to the Company or any Subsidiary even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company or any Subsidiary, could be taken by the Company or such Subsidiary, and (ii) the parties hereby waive (and the Company shall cause the Subsidiaries to waive) to the fullest extent permitted by law any fiduciary or other duty of the Initial Shareholders and the Enstar Directors and Trident Directors not expressly set forth in this Agreement, including fiduciary or other duties that may be related to or associated with self-dealing, corporate opportunities or otherwise, in each case so long as such Person acts in a manner consistent with this Agreement.

Furthermore, Section 4.03(a) shall not restrict the Enstar Shareholder and its Affiliates from disclosing any Information required to be disclosed under applicable securities laws or the rules of any stock exchange upon which their securities are traded.

Section 4.04 Registration Rights. Upon the request of any Initial Shareholder in connection with a contemplated public offering of the equity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is approved in accordance with Section 2.02(g), the Company shall enter into a registration rights agreement with the Initial Shareholders containing customary provisions for a transaction of that type, including demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights with ratable cutbacks, if necessary, regardless of the demanding party or piggyback party.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Investors Agreement (the “Investors Agreement”), dated as of July 3, 2013, by and among KENMARE HOLDINGS LTD (“Kenmare”), TRIDENT V, L.P., TRIDENT V PARALLEL FUND, L.P. and TRIDENT V PROFESSIONALS FUND, L.P. (collectively, “Trident”) and the Purchase Agreements (as defined in the Investors Agreement). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein but defined in the Investors Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investors Agreement.

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the commitment of Kenmare with respect to the proposed issuance and sale by Northshore Holdings Limited (company registration number 43474) whose registered office is at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda (“Northshore”), and the proposed purchase by Kenmare (and/or one or more of its Permitted Assigns) of common shares in the capital of Northshore designated as Common Shares (the “Common Shares”) at such times as set forth herein. Contemporaneously herewith, Trident is delivering to Northshore a letter agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement (the “Trident Subscription Letter”), pursuant to which Trident is committing to purchase Common Shares concurrent with purchases of Common Shares by Kenmare.

1. Commitment. Kenmare hereby commits, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including (without limitation) those set forth in Paragraph 2(c) and Paragraph 3 hereof, that it shall purchase, or shall cause its Permitted Assigns to purchase, Common Shares for an aggregate amount equal to Kenmare’s Total Subscription Commitment set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Total Subscription Commitment”), for the purposes of funding a portion of the purchase price pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreements, together with related expenses. Kenmare shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all governmental authorities that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements. Kenmare shall cooperate fully with Trident and Northshore and their Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. Kenmare shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

2. Drawdowns.

(a) At any time and from time to time following the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including (without limitation) those set forth in Paragraph 2(c) and Paragraph 3 hereof, Northshore may require Kenmare to purchase Common Shares (each such purchase, a “Drawdown”), at a purchase price of US$1,000 per share (as such price may be adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like, including any of the foregoing effected by means of a merger or similar transaction) in satisfaction of part or all of the unpaid portion of Kenmare’s Total Subscription Commitment. With respect to any Drawdown, Northshore shall cause the amount of Trident’s and Kenmare’s portion of the Drawdown to be an amount equal to Trident’s or Kenmare’s Pro Rata Percentage (as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto) multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Drawdown. Northshore shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Paragraph 2 by delivering to Kenmare a written notice (a “Drawdown Notice”) no later than five (5) Business Days (as defined below) preceding the closing date of the Drawdown (the “Drawdown Date”). The Drawdown Notice shall make reference to Kenmare’s obligations hereunder and shall set forth: (i) the number of Common Shares required to be purchased by Kenmare; (ii) the terms and conditions of the purchase (which shall not alter the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement), including the aggregate number of Common Shares to be purchased by Trident and Kenmare; (iii) wire transfer instructions; and (iv) the Drawdown Date. The Drawdown Notice shall be delivered to Kenmare in the manner provided in Paragraph 14 hereof.

(b) After receipt of a Drawdown Notice pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), Kenmare shall purchase on the Drawdown Date, at a purchase price of US$1,000 per share (as such price may be adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like, including any of the foregoing effected by means of a merger or similar transaction), that number of Common Shares as is stated in the Drawdown Notice delivered to Kenmare. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, Kenmare shall deliver to Northshore consideration for such Drawdown no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Drawdown Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Northshore in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Drawdown Notice relating to such Drawdown. On the Drawdown Date, upon the receipt by Northshore of Kenmare’s full consideration for such Drawdown, Northshore shall issue and deliver (or, if the Common Shares are uncertificated, record on the books of Northshore) a new, duly executed certificate or duly executed certificates to Kenmare evidencing that number of Common Shares issued to Kenmare pursuant to such Drawdown.

(c) Northshore may require a Drawdown only in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements. In no event shall the sum of the portion of all Drawdowns funded by Kenmare in accordance with this Agreement exceed Kenmare’s Total Subscription Commitment.

(d) Kenmare’s obligation to purchase Common Shares and its obligation to fund all or any portion of its unfunded Total Subscription Commitment shall expire on the earliest of (i) the written agreement of each of Kenmare and Trident; and (ii) the valid termination of each of the Purchase Agreements in accordance with its terms. Upon expiration of Kenmare’s obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and Kenmare shall not have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder.

(e) The closing of the issuance, sale and purchase by Kenmare of the Common Shares in each Drawdown shall take place at the offices of Northshore, or remotely via the electronic or other exchange of documents and signature pages, contemporaneously with the closing of the issuance, sale and purchase by Trident of the Common Shares in each Drawdown, or at such other place or such other date as agreed to by the parties hereto.

(b) If the Drawdown relates to the acquisition of Atrium, each of the closing conditions set forth in the Atrium Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Atrium Purchase Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Investors Agreement.

(c) If the Drawdown relates to the acquisition of Arden Re, each of the closing conditions set forth in the Arden Re Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Arden Re Purchase Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Investors Agreement.

(d) The representations and warranties of Northshore made in Paragraph 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Drawdown Date, except where the failure to be true and correct arises from the identity or the legal or regulatory status of Kenmare.

No order, judgment or decree adjudicating Northshore or any subsidiary of Northshore bankrupt or insolvent shall have been entered and no order for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall have been entered against Northshore or any material subsidiary and shall be in effect and not dismissed as of the applicable Drawdown Date.

(f) The purchase, sale and issuance of Common Shares to Kenmare on the applicable Drawdown Date (i) shall not be prohibited by any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, and (ii) Kenmare shall have obtained all necessary regulatory approvals applicable to it to permit the purchase of the Common Shares and Kenmare’s direct or indirect ownership of equity interests of each of Northshore and, as applicable, Arden Re and Atrium, and all applicable waiting periods with respect thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

(g) Northshore and Trident shall be in compliance with all of their respective covenants and agreements under the Trident Subscription Letter, and Kenmare shall be in compliance with its covenants and agreements under the Investors Agreement, in each case, in all material respects.

4. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be assigned by Northshore or Kenmare without the prior written consent of Kenmare and Trident; provided that, Kenmare may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates if such assignment will not disrupt, interfere with or otherwise delay the receipt of any governmental approval required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements (“Permitted Assigns”); provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

5. Limited Recourse; Enforcement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, each party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding that any such party may be a partnership, no recourse hereunder or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith shall be had against any former, current or future officer, agent or employee of any such party or any director, officer, employee, partner, Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by or through piercing of the corporate veil, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceedings, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any such affiliated Person, as such for any obligations of a party under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

(b) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, Northshore, by its acceptance of the benefits of the commitment provided herein, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than Kenmare and its respective permitted assigns hereunder shall have any obligation hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that, notwithstanding that Kenmare or any of its respective permitted assigns may be a partnership or limited liability company, Northshore has no rights of recovery against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, attorneys or other representatives of Kenmare, or any of their successors or assigns, or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, attorneys or other representatives or successors or assignees of any of the foregoing (but not including Kenmare and its permitted assigns hereunder, each, an “Investor Related Party” and collectively, the “Investor Related Parties”), through Northshore or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of Northshore against any Investor Related Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any applicable law, or otherwise, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Investor Related Party for any obligations of Kenmare or any of its successors or permitted assigns under this Agreement or any documents or instrument delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

(c) This Agreement may only be enforced by Northshore and Trident. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Northshore’s equityholders (other than Trident), creditors or counterparties or any creditors or counterparties of any subsidiary of Northshore shall have any right to enforce this Agreement or to cause Northshore to enforce this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties of Northshore. Northshore hereby represents and warrants to Kenmare as of the date hereof and as of each Drawdown Date, that:

(a) (i) Northshore is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda. As of the date hereof and prior to funding pursuant to the initial Drawdown, Northshore’s net assets are US$100,000 in cash. (ii) Northshore has the requisite company power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance. This Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by Northshore and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of each such agreement by Trident and Kenmare (as appropriate), each such agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Northshore enforceable against Northshore in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be subject to (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (y) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) Except as have already been made or obtained or as may be required prior to the closing for the applicable Drawdown Date, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by Northshore with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits, orders, licenses or authorizations required to be obtained by it from, any governmental authority or any other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (iv) The execution, delivery and performance by Northshore of this Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement do not and will not, and the consummation by Northshore of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement will not, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, (x) violate or conflict with Northshore’s organizational documents; (y) violate or conflict in any material respects with any applicable law with respect to Northshore; or (z) breach or result in a default under, permit the termination of, or permit the acceleration of the performance required by, any contract of Northshore, except, in the case of this clause (z), such instances as would not have a material adverse effect on Northshore’s assets, financial condition, results from operations or business.

(b) Once issued to Kenmare as provided in this Agreement, the Common Shares (i) will have been duly authorized and validly issued; (ii) will be fully paid and nonassessable; and (iii) in reliance upon Kenmare’s representations, warranties and acknowledgments set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof, will have been issued in compliance with all applicable laws concerning the issuance of securities or exemptions thereunder; provided, however, that the Common Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law at the time such transfer is proposed.

(c) As of the date hereof, except for the commitments to sell Common Shares pursuant to the Trident Subscription Letter, or as described in the Shareholders’ Agreement, no shares of capital stock of Northshore are subject to any preemptive rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights.

(d) As of the date hereof, (i) Northshore is party to no contracts or side letters, other than the Arden Re Purchase Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement and any ancillary agreements referred to therein and (ii) each of this Agreement and the Trident Subscription Letter is identical, except that the Pro Rata Percentages and the Total Subscription Commitments shall vary by investor and with other changes necessary to reflect the identities of the applicable investor.

(e) As of the date hereof and the date of the initial Drawdown, Northshore has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and under the Investors Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter, the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Arden Re Purchase Agreement and the Atrium Purchase Agreement. As of the date hereof, Northshore has no subsidiaries other than Alopuc and no obligations other than the obligations set forth in the Arden Re Purchase Agreement (and indirectly through its ownership of Alopuc under the Atrium Purchase Agreement), this Agreement, the Investors Agreement, the Trident Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement.

(f) The foregoing representations and warranties (i) are, with the exception of clause (a)(iii) of this Paragraph 6 to the extent that any required notices, reports or other filings or any required consents, registrations, approvals, permits, orders, licenses or authorizations remain to be made or obtained prior to the closing of a Drawdown, true and accurate as of the date hereof; (ii) shall be true and accurate as of the date of the closing for the initial Drawdown as if made at and as of such date; and (iii) shall be true and accurate in all material respects as of each other Drawdown Date as if made at and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty speaks expressly as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and accurate as of such earlier date). If any such representation or warranty shall not be so true and accurate in any respect or in any material respect, as applicable, prior to or as of the applicable Drawdown Date, Northshore shall give written notice of such fact to Kenmare, specifying which representations and warranties are not so true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

7. Representations and Warranties of Kenmare. Kenmare hereby represents and warrants to Northshore as of the date hereof and as of each Drawdown Date, that:

(a) (i) It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. (ii) It has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement and the performance and consummation of the transactions to which Kenmare is a party contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other action on the part of Kenmare and no other corporate, limited liability company or other proceedings on the part of Kenmare are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement or to consummate and perform the transactions to which Kenmare is a party contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Kenmare and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of each such agreement by Northshore and Trident (as appropriate), constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Kenmare enforceable against Kenmare in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be subject to (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (y) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) The execution and delivery by Kenmare of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement does not, and the consummation by Kenmare of the transactions to which it is a party contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance by Kenmare with any of the provisions hereof and thereof will not conflict with or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (x) its organizational documents; (y) any material agreement to which Kenmare or any of its subsidiaries is a party or any of its or their respective properties or assets is subject; or (z) any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to Kenmare or any of its subsidiaries, in any manner that would prevent Kenmare from entering into this Agreement or the Shareholders’ Agreement or from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (iv) No material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of Kenmare is required in connection with the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except any consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing that has been previously obtained or made and is in effect or that may be properly obtained or made after the date hereof.

understands and acknowledges that Northshore has a very limited financial and operating history. Kenmare is aware that an investment in Northshore is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. Kenmare is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk and burdens of this investment, including, but not limited to, the possibility of a complete loss of Kenmare’s investment in Common Shares and the lack of a public market and limited transferability of Common Shares, which may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for an indefinite period of time.

(c) Kenmare is not acquiring, or committing to acquire, Common Shares based upon any representation, oral or written, by any Person with respect to Northshore, other than those contained in this Agreement, the Investors Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of Northshore. The Common Shares are being acquired solely for Kenmare’s own account, for investment, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof; Kenmare has not entered into, and has no plans to enter into, any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement; and, except as may be set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, Kenmare has not entered into, and has no plans to enter into, any agreement to compel disposition of Common Shares.

8. Headings; Counterparts. The Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be one and the same agreement.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Investors Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter contained herein.

10. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision will be substituted for that provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to any Person or circumstance will not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor will such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

11. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Chosen Courts”) solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate, or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims, actions, suits and proceedings or other causes of action (whether at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Chosen Courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such Chosen Court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding to the address set forth in Paragraph 14 shall be valid, effective and sufficient service thereof.

12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, Trident and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than Northshore, Kenmare, Trident and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

13. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by each of Northshore and Kenmare and with the prior written consent of Trident. No waiver by any of the parties of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No waiver by any of the parties of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party sought to be charged with such waiver.

Re: Commitment to Purchase Common Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Investors Agreement (the “Investors Agreement”), dated as of July 3, 2013, by and among KENMARE HOLDINGS LTD (“Kenmare”), TRIDENT V, L.P., TRIDENT V PARALLEL FUND, L.P. and TRIDENT V PROFESSIONALS FUND, L.P. (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Trident”) and the Purchase Agreements (as defined in the Investors Agreement). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein but defined in the Investors Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investors Agreement.

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the commitment of the undersigned Investors with respect to the proposed issuance and sale by Northshore Holdings Limited (company registration number 43474) whose registered office is at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda (“Northshore”), and the proposed purchase by the undersigned Investors (and/or one or more of their Permitted Assigns) of common shares in the capital of Northshore designated as Common Shares (the “Common Shares”) at such times as set forth herein. Contemporaneously herewith, Kenmare is delivering to Northshore a letter agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement (the “Kenmare Subscription Letter”), pursuant to which Kenmare is committing to purchase Common Shares concurrent with purchases of Common Shares by the Investors.

1. Commitment. Each Investor hereby commits, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including (without limitation) those set forth in Paragraph 2(c) and Paragraph 3 hereof, that it shall purchase, or shall cause its Permitted Assigns to purchase, Common Shares for an aggregate amount equal to such Investor’s Total Subscription Commitment set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Total Subscription Commitment”), for the purposes of funding a portion of the purchase price pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreements, together with related expenses. Each Investor shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all governmental authorities that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements. Each Investor shall cooperate fully with each other, Kenmare and Northshore and their Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. No Investor shall willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

2. Drawdowns.

(a) At any time and from time to time following the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including (without limitation) those set forth in Paragraph 2(c) and Paragraph 3 hereof, Northshore may require each of the Investors to purchase Common Shares (each such purchase, a “Drawdown”), at a purchase price of US$1,000 per share (as such price may be adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like, including any of the foregoing effected by means of a merger or similar transaction) in satisfaction of part or all of the unpaid portion of the Investor’s Total Subscription Commitment. With respect to any Drawdown, Northshore shall cause the amount of each Investor’s and Kenmare’s portion of the Drawdown to be an amount equal to such Investor’s or Kenmare’s Pro Rata Percentage (as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto) multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Drawdown. Northshore shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Paragraph 2 by delivering to each Investor a written notice (a “Drawdown Notice”) no later than five (5) Business Days (as defined below) preceding the closing date of the Drawdown (the “Drawdown Date”) (provided that Northshore shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to each Investor any such Drawdown Notice as early as possible and to keep the Investors informed of the status of the closing conditions under the Purchase Agreements so as to allow the Investors sufficient time to call capital from their partners in advance of the Drawdown Date). The Drawdown Notice shall make reference to such Investor’s obligations hereunder and shall set forth: (i) the number of Common Shares required to be purchased by the Investor; (ii) the terms and conditions of the purchase (which shall not alter the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement), including the aggregate number of Common Shares to be purchased by the Investors and Kenmare; (iii) wire transfer instructions; and (iv) the Drawdown Date. The Drawdown Notice shall be delivered to each Investor in the manner provided in Paragraph 14 hereof.

(b) After receipt of a Drawdown Notice pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), each Investor shall purchase on the Drawdown Date, at a purchase price of US$1,000 per share (as such price may be adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like, including any of the foregoing effected by means of a merger or similar transaction), that number of Common Shares as is stated in the Drawdown Notice delivered to such Investor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, each Investor shall deliver to Northshore consideration for such Drawdown no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Drawdown Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Northshore in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Drawdown Notice relating to such Drawdown. On the Drawdown Date, upon the receipt by Northshore of the Investor’s full consideration for such Drawdown, Northshore shall issue and deliver (or, if the Common Shares are uncertificated, record on the books of Northshore) a new, duly executed certificate or duly executed certificates to the Investor evidencing that number of Common Shares issued to the Investor pursuant to such Drawdown.

(c) Northshore may require a Drawdown only in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements. In no event shall the sum of the portion of all Drawdowns funded by any Investor in accordance with this Agreement exceed the Investor’s Total Subscription Commitment.

(d) The Investors’ obligations to purchase Common Shares and their obligations to fund all or any portion of their unfunded Total Subscription Commitments shall expire on the earliest of (i) the written agreement of each of Kenmare and Trident; and (ii) the valid termination of each of the Purchase Agreements in accordance with its terms. Upon expiration of the Investors’ obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and the Investors shall not have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Investors Agreement, in the event that (x) the Atrium Purchase Agreement has been terminated or (y) the Investors (or any Permitted Assign(s) of the Investors) are prohibited from directly or indirectly investing in Atrium (through Northshore or otherwise), the Investors’ obligations under this Agreement shall terminate and the Investors shall not be required to fund any Drawdown in connection with the consummation of the Arden Re Purchase Agreement, provided that if the Investors have funded such Drawdown prior to their obligations under this Agreement being terminated, Northshore shall repurchase the Investors’ Common Shares at a purchase price of US$1,000 per share (or at such other per share price as the Investors may have purchased such Common Shares consistent with clauses (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 2), subject to receipt of any required governmental approvals.

(e) The closing of the issuance, sale and purchase by the Investors of the Common Shares in each Drawdown shall take place at the offices of Northshore, or remotely via the electronic or other exchange of documents and signature pages, contemporaneously with the closing of the issuance, sale and purchase by Kenmare of the Common Shares in each Drawdown, or at such other place or such other date as agreed to by the parties hereto.

5. Limited Recourse; Enforcement.

6. Representations and Warranties of Northshore. Northshore hereby represents and warrants to the Investors as of the date hereof and as of each Drawdown Date, that:

creditors’ rights generally and (y) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) Except as have already been made or obtained or as may be required prior to the closing for the applicable Drawdown Date, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by Northshore with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits, orders, licenses or authorizations required to be obtained by it from, any governmental authority or any other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement, the Kenmare Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (iv) The execution, delivery and performance by Northshore of this Agreement, the Kenmare Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement do not and will not, and the consummation by Northshore of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Kenmare Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement will not, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, (x) violate or conflict with Northshore’s organizational documents; (y) violate or conflict in any material respects with any applicable law with respect to Northshore; or (z) breach or result in a default under, permit the termination of, or permit the acceleration of the performance required by, any contract of Northshore, except, in the case of this clause (z), such instances as would not have a material adverse effect on Northshore’s assets, financial condition, results from operations or business.

(b) Once issued to the Investors as provided in this Agreement, the Common Shares (i) will have been duly authorized and validly issued; (ii) will be fully paid and nonassessable; and (iii) in reliance upon the Investors’ representations, warranties and acknowledgments set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof, will have been issued in compliance with all applicable laws concerning the issuance of securities or exemptions thereunder; provided, however, that the Common Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law at the time such transfer is proposed.

(c) As of the date hereof, except for the commitments to sell Common Shares pursuant to the Kenmare Subscription Letter, or as described in the Shareholders’ Agreement, no shares of capital stock of Northshore are subject to any preemptive rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights.

(d) As of the date hereof, (i) Northshore is party to no contracts or side letters, other than the Arden Re Purchase Agreement, the Kenmare Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement and any ancillary agreements referred to therein and (ii) each of this Agreement and the Kenmare Subscription Letter is identical, except that the Pro Rata Percentages and the Total Subscription Commitments shall vary by investor and with other changes necessary to reflect the identities of the applicable investor.

and the Atrium Purchase Agreement. As of the date hereof, Northshore has no subsidiaries other than Alopuc and no obligations other than the obligations set forth in the Arden Re Purchase Agreement (and indirectly through its ownership of Alopuc under the Atrium Purchase Agreement), this Agreement, the Investors Agreement, the Kenmare Subscription Letter and the Shareholders’ Agreement.

(f) The foregoing representations and warranties (i) are, with the exception of clause (a)(iii) of this Paragraph 6 to the extent that any required notices, reports or other filings or any required consents, registrations, approvals, permits, orders, licenses or authorizations remain to be made or obtained prior to the closing of a Drawdown, true and accurate as of the date hereof; (ii) shall be true and accurate as of the date of the closing for the initial Drawdown as if made at and as of such date; and (iii) shall be true and accurate in all material respects as of each other Drawdown Date as if made at and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty speaks expressly as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and accurate as of such earlier date). If any such representation or warranty shall not be so true and accurate in any respect or in any material respect, as applicable, prior to or as of the applicable Drawdown Date, Northshore shall give written notice of such fact to the Investors, specifying which representations and warranties are not so true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

7. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to Northshore as of the date hereof and as of each Drawdown Date, that:

(a) (i) The Investor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. (ii) The Investor has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement and the performance and consummation of the transactions to which the Investor is a party contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other action on the part of the Investor and no other corporate, limited liability company or other proceedings on the part of the Investor are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement or to consummate and perform the transactions to which the Investor is a party contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of each such agreement by Northshore and Kenmare (as appropriate), constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be subject to (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (y) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) The execution and delivery by the Investor of this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement does not, and the

consummation by the Investor of the transactions to which it is a party contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance by the Investor with any of the provisions hereof and thereof will not conflict with or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (x) its organizational documents; (y) any material agreement to which the Investor or any of its subsidiaries is a party or any of its or their respective properties or assets is subject; or (z) any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to the Investor or any of its subsidiaries, in any manner that would prevent the Investor from entering into this Agreement or the Shareholders’ Agreement or from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (iv) No material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Investor is required in connection with the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except any consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing that has been previously obtained or made and is in effect or that may be properly obtained or made after the date hereof.

(b) The Investor has, or its Affiliates have, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the nature and merits of, and risks attending, investments in Common Shares, and has, to the extent the Investor believes such discussion necessary, discussed with professional legal, tax and financial advisers the suitability of an investment in Common Shares, and has determined that an investment in Common Shares is consistent with the Investor’s investment objectives. The Investor understands and acknowledges that Northshore has a very limited financial and operating history. The Investor is aware that an investment in Northshore is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. The Investor is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk and burdens of this investment, including, but not limited to, the possibility of a complete loss of the Investor’s investment in Common Shares and the lack of a public market and limited transferability of Common Shares, which may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for an indefinite period of time.

(c) The Investor is not acquiring, or committing to acquire, Common Shares based upon any representation, oral or written, by any Person with respect to Northshore, other than those contained in this Agreement, the Investors Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of Northshore. The Common Shares are being acquired solely for the Investor’s own account, for investment, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof; the Investor has not entered into, and has no plans to enter into, any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement; and, except as may be set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Investor has not entered into, and has no plans to enter into, any agreement to compel disposition of Common Shares.

11. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding to the address set forth in Paragraph 14 shall be valid, effective and sufficient service thereof.

12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, Kenmare and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than Northshore, Kenmare, the Investors and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

13. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by each of Northshore and Trident and with the prior written consent of Kenmare. No waiver by any of the parties of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No waiver by any of the parties of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party sought to be charged with such waiver.

(b) At the direction of both Kenmare and Trident, the Amalgamated Company may negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with members of the management team of the Amalgamated Company with respect to the terms of equity incentives and/or adopt policies or plans affecting the management of the Amalgamated Company.

Section 2.4 Subscription Commitments. Each of Kenmare and Trident hereby affirms and agrees that (i) it is bound by the provisions set forth in its Subscription Letter, (ii) that Enstar, Bayshore and Veranda shall be entitled to specifically enforce the provisions of such Subscription Letters and (iii) that Kenmare and Trident shall each have the right to directly enforce the Subscription Letter of the other party.

For purposes of this Section 2.5, “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to Kenmare, sixty percent (60%), and, with respect to Trident, forty percent (40%). Bayshore shall pay all such costs and expenses as they are funded by Kenmare and Trident through drawdowns hereunder.

Section 2.6 Regulatory Filings.

any time or times prior to the termination of this Agreement such information is, to its knowledge, no longer accurate and complete in all material respects and will promptly update such information so that it is, to its knowledge, accurate and complete in all material respects. If any regulatory authority asserts any objections related to any consent, approval or authorization required pursuant to the Torus Purchase Agreement, and such objections relate to the activities or investments of such party or such party’s Affiliates, such party will use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections.

Section 2.7 Cooperation. Enstar, Kenmare and Trident shall, and shall cause Bayshore and Veranda to, use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Torus Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.8 Sale of Bayshore Interest. Kenmare agrees to sell, and Trident agrees to purchase, forty percent (40%) of Kenmare’s interest in Bayshore (the “Transferred Interest”) as of the date hereof for a total purchase price of US$4,000. Kenmare represents and warrants to Trident that, prior to the sale, Kenmare was the sole beneficial owner of the Transferred Interest, that the Transferred Interest was validly issued and fully paid and that there were no encumbrances on the Transferred Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trident agrees to promptly sell the Transferred Interest back to Kenmare for a total purchase price of US$4,000 if Trident does not fund any Drawdown required of Trident in accordance with the terms of its Subscription Letter.

The rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that, a party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Subscription Letter, if applicable, to one or more of its Affiliates if such assignment will not disrupt, interfere with or otherwise delay the receipt of any governmental approval required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Torus Purchase Agreement; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. “Affiliates” shall mean with respect to any party, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, such party, and “Person” shall include a natural person, corporate or unincorporated body (whether or not having separate legal personality) and that Person’s personal representatives, successors or permitted assigns.
