</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><U>Fifth Amendment to Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement</U>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Effective as of November&nbsp;8, 2017, Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. (&#147;RRL&#148;) entered into the Fifth
Amendment to Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement (the &#147;Amendment&#148;), by and among RRL and each
of Bank of Montreal, as documentation agent (the &#147;Documentation Agent&#148;), Bank of Montreal, London
Branch, as a lender (&#147;BMO&#148;), Citibank Europe plc, as a lender and as collateral agent (&#147;CEP&#148;), and
ING Bank N.V., London Branch, as a lender and as letter of credit agent (&#147;ING&#148; and, together with
BMO and CEP, the &#147;Lenders&#148;), amending the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of
November&nbsp;23, 2015, as amended (the &#147;Reimbursement Agreement&#148;), evidencing a secured letter of
credit facility (the &#147;Facility&#148;) providing for the issuance by the Lenders of a letter of credit
(the &#147;Letters of Credit&#148;) for the account of RRL to support business written by RRL&#146;s Lloyd&#146;s
syndicate, Syndicate 1458.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Letter of Credit is denominated in U.S. Dollars, with a stated amount of $180&nbsp;million.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Facility was extended until the date that is four years
from the date of notice from ING to the beneficiary of the Letters of Credit, which notice is
required to be given not later than December&nbsp;31, 2017, unless such date is extended with the
consent of all the Lenders. Notice was previously required to be given not later than December&nbsp;31,
2016. The Borrower may request that the Letter of Credit be amended to increase the stated amount
of such Letter of Credit, or issue a new Letter of Credit denominated in Pounds, in an aggregate
amount for all such increases or issuances not to exceed $150,000,000 or the equivalent thereof.
Prior to the Amendment, the aggregate amount of the increases or issuances was $75,000,000.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Certain Lenders and their affiliates have performed commercial banking, investment banking and
advisory services for RRL and/or its affiliates from time to time for which they have received
customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. The Lenders and the Documentation Agent may from
time to time engage in transactions with and perform services for RRL and its affiliates in the
ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of
expenses.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The descriptions of the Amendment and Facility contained herein are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference, and the Reimbursement Agreement, a copy of which was previously filed.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Item&nbsp;2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of the Registrant.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The disclosure set forth in Item&nbsp;1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><U>Adoption of Deferred Cash Award Plan</U>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">On November&nbsp;10, 2017, the Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.
(the&nbsp;&#147;Company&#148;) adopted the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. Deferred Cash Award Plan (the&nbsp;&#147;Plan&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Plan permits the Board to grant to eligible employees (or prospective employees), non-employee
directors and consultants or advisors of the Company or any of its affiliates deferred cash awards
(&#147;Deferred Cash Awards&#148;). Each Deferred Cash Award granted under the Plan will represent an
unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to make a cash payment to the participant on a specified
payment date, subject to the participant&#146;s satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions set
forth in an individual award agreement. The vested portion of a Deferred Cash Award will be paid or
distributed to the participant in cash on the first administratively practicable payroll date
immediately following the applicable vesting date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Any Deferred Cash Award held by a participant who experiences an involuntary termination of
employment as a result of a change in control of the Company will immediately vest as of the date
of such termination, unless otherwise provided for in his or her individual award agreement or
employment or services agreement with the Company or its affiliates.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the
Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and form of
Deferred Cash Award Agreement under the Plan, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this
Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K.

Effective as of November 8, 2017, Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. ("RRL") entered into the Fifth
Amendment to Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement (the "Amendment"), by and among RRL and each
of Bank of Montreal, as documentation agent (the "Documentation Agent"), Bank of Montreal, London
Branch, as a lender ("BMO"), Citibank Europe plc, as a lender and as collateral agent ("CEP"), and
ING Bank N.V., London Branch, as a lender and as letter of credit agent ("ING" and, together with
BMO and CEP, the "Lenders"), amending the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of
November 23, 2015, as amended (the "Reimbursement Agreement"), evidencing a secured letter of
credit facility (the "Facility") providing for the issuance by the Lenders of a letter of credit
(the "Letters of Credit") for the account of RRL to support business written by RRL's Lloyd's

The Letter of Credit is denominated in U.S. Dollars, with a stated amount of $180 million.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Facility was extended until the date that is four years
from the date of notice from ING to the beneficiary of the Letters of Credit, which notice is
required to be given not later than December 31, 2017, unless such date is extended with the

of such Letter of Credit, or issue a new Letter of Credit denominated in Pounds, in an aggregate
amount for all such increases or issuances not to exceed $150,000,000 or the equivalent thereof.
Prior to the Amendment, the aggregate amount of the increases or issuances was $75,000,000.
Certain Lenders and their affiliates have performed commercial banking, investment banking and
advisory services for RRL and/or its affiliates from time to time for which they have received
customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. The Lenders and the Documentation Agent may from
time to time engage in transactions with and perform services for RRL and its affiliates in the

Adoption of Deferred Cash Award Plan
On November 10, 2017, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.
(the "Company") adopted the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. Deferred Cash Award Plan (the "Plan").
The Plan permits the Board to grant to eligible employees (or prospective employees), non-employee
directors and consultants or advisors of the Company or any of its affiliates deferred cash awards
("Deferred Cash Awards"). Each Deferred Cash Award granted under the Plan will represent an
unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to make a cash payment to the participant on a specified
payment date, subject to the participant's satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions set
forth in an individual award agreement. The vested portion of a Deferred Cash Award will be paid or
distributed to the participant in cash on the first administratively practicable payroll date
immediately following the applicable vesting date.
Any Deferred Cash Award held by a participant who experiences an involuntary termination of
employment as a result of a change in control of the Company will immediately vest as of the date
of such termination, unless otherwise provided for in his or her individual award agreement or
employment or services agreement with the Company or its affiliates.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the
Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and form of
Deferred Cash Award Agreement under the Plan, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this
