CHUBB INA HOLDINGS INC.
(a Delaware corporation)
Senior and Subordinated Debt Securities
Unconditionally Guaranteed as to Payment of
Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest by
CHUBB LIMITED
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
December 3, 2019
 
To:	The Underwriters named in the	
within-mentioned Terms Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Chubb INA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell €1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior or subordinated debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), from time to time, in or pursuant to one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Debt Securities will be unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by Chubb Limited, a Swiss company (the “Guarantor”).
The Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series as senior indebtedness (the “Senior Debt Securities”) under an indenture, dated as of August 1, 1999 (as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2013, and as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time (including by any supplement which may be entered into in connection with the issuance of such Debt Securities), the “Senior Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the “Senior Trustee”), or as subordinated indebtedness (the “Subordinated Debt Securities”) under an indenture (the “Subordinated Indenture”, and collectively with the Senior Indenture, the “Indentures”, and each, an “Indenture”), dated as of December 1, 1999 among the Company, the Guarantor and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Subordinated Trustee”, and collectively with the Senior Trustee, the “Trustees”, and each, a “Trustee”). Each series of Debt Securities may vary, as applicable, as to title, aggregate principal amount, rank, interest rate or formula and timing of payments thereof, stated maturity date, redemption and/or repayment provisions, sinking fund requirements, conversion or exchange provisions and any other variable terms established by or pursuant to the applicable Indenture.
The Company and the Guarantor may appoint one or more paying agents, transfer agents and registrars in relation to the Debt Securities of any series, and may enter into one or more agreements (each, an “Agency Agreement”) for that purpose.
 
1

Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Debt Securities, the Company and the Guarantor will enter into an agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) providing for the sale of such Debt Securities to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, the underwriters specified in the Terms Agreement (the “Underwriters”, which term shall include any Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 10 hereof). The Terms Agreement relating to the offering of Debt Securities shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities to be issued (the “Underwritten Securities”), the name of each Underwriter participating in such offering (subject to substitution as provided in Section 10 hereof) and the name of any Underwriter acting as co-manager in connection with such offering, the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities that each such Underwriter severally agrees to purchase, whether such offering is on a fixed or variable price basis and, if on a fixed price basis, the initial offering price, the price at which the Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters, the form, time, date and place of delivery and payment of the Underwritten Securities and any other material variable terms of the Underwritten Securities. The Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and one or more of the Underwriters, acting for themselves and, if applicable, as representative(s) of any other Underwriters. Each offering of Underwritten Securities will be governed by this Underwriting Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement. As used herein, the term “Representative(s)” means, with respect to any offering of Debt Securities, any Underwriter(s) specified as the representative(s) of the Underwriters of such offering in the applicable Terms Agreement and if none is so designated, it means the Underwriters.
The Company and the Guarantor have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a joint automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-227749), for the registration of the Debt Securities and the guarantee thereof of the Guarantor (the “Guarantee”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”). Such registration statement became effective automatically upon filing on October 9, 2018, each Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”), and the Company and the Guarantor have filed such post-effective amendments to such registration statement as may be required prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement and each such post-effective amendment became effective automatically upon filing with the Commission. At any given time, such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable, to such time), including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at such time pursuant to Rule 430B of the 1933 Act Regulations (the “Rule 430B Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and the final base prospectus or prospectuses and the final prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Underwritten Securities, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters by the Company and the Guarantor for use in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus”; provided, however, that at any given time references to the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus” shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), as of, in the case of the Registration Statement, such given date, or, in the case of the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus. A “preliminary prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to any prospectus used before
 
2

the Registration Statement became effective and any prospectus that omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and was used after such effectiveness and prior to the relevant Applicable Time (as defined in the applicable Terms Agreement), including in each case any base prospectus so used and the documents incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Underwriting Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or to any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).
The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) each preliminary prospectus, as amended or supplemented, used in connection with the offer of the Underwritten Securities, (ii) the Final Term Sheet (as defined herein), which shall be identified in Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement, and (iii) any issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package.
All references in this Underwriting Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which are, at a given time, “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are incorporated by reference or deemed to be included in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus, as the case may be, as of, in the case of the Registration Statement, such given time, or, in the case of the Prospectus, the date of the Prospectus, or, in the case of a preliminary prospectus, the relevant Applicable Time; and all references in this Underwriting Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus shall be deemed, at a given time, to mean and include the filing of any document under the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act which is incorporated by reference or deemed to be included in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus, as the case may be, after, in the case of the Registration Statement, such given time, or, in the case of the Prospectus, the date of the Prospectus, or, in the case of a preliminary prospectus, the relevant Applicable Time.
The term “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) of the 1933 Act Regulations that has been made available without restriction to any person.
SECTION 1.  Representations and Warranties.
(a)    Representations and Warranties by the Company and the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor represent and warrant to each Underwriter named in the applicable Terms Agreement, as of the date thereof, as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Time (as defined below) (in each case, a “Representation Date”), as follows:
(1)    Compliance with Registration Requirements; Disclosure. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such
 
3

amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus) and (iii) at the execution time of each of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement (with each such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iii)), each of the Company and the Guarantor was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement”, as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations, neither the Company nor the Guarantor has received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and neither the Company nor the Guarantor has otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form.
(i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement relating to the Underwritten Securities that the Company, the Guarantor or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) and (ii) as of the date of the execution and delivery of each of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement (with each such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), neither the Company nor the Guarantor was or is an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations that it is not necessary that either the Company or the Guarantor be considered an Ineligible Issuer.
No stop order has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Guarantor, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. In addition, each Indenture has been duly qualified under the 1939 Act.
At the respective times the Registration Statement became effective or was deemed effective with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1939 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”) and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
At the date of the Prospectus and at the Closing Time, neither the Prospectus nor any amendments and supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
As of the Applicable Time, the Disclosure Package did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
 
4

the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Term Sheet, as of their issue dates and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offering of the Underwritten Securities or until any earlier date that the Company or the Guarantor notified or notifies the Representative(s) as described in the next sentence, did not, do not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representative(s) and has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict.
Each broadly available road show, if any, when considered together with the Disclosure Package, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Neither the Company nor the Guarantor has distributed nor will it distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Time and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Underwritten Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Underwritten Securities other than a preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Representative(s) and included in Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement, any electronic road show reviewed and consented to by the Representative(s), or the Registration Statement. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor has issued any press or other public announcement referring specifically to the proposed issue of, or the terms of, the Underwritten Securities other than those announcements that adequately disclosed that stabilizing action may take place in relation to the Underwritten Securities (but only to the extent required by laws, regulations or guidelines (including the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority Handbook) applicable to the Company, the Guarantor, the Underwriters or any other entity undertaking stabilization in connection with the issue of the Underwritten Securities) and, in connection therewith, each of the Company and the Guarantor has authorized the Representative(s) to make all appropriate disclosure in relation to stabilization instead of the Company or the Guarantor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative(s) expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus.
 
5

To the Company’s knowledge, the Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act, nor is the Company or the Guarantor the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities.
Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the 1933 Act Regulations, complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of Underwritten Securities will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(2)      Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”) and, when read together with the other information in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, at the Applicable Time or at the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, and at the Closing Time, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(3)      Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified or shall certify the financial statements and any supporting schedules thereto of the Guarantor included in each of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are independent public accountants with respect to the Guarantor and its subsidiaries as required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.
(4)      Financial Statements.

As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition that gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company).
(19)    Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or to the knowledge of the Company or the Guarantor

The Guarantor and its subsidiaries (including the Company) are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries (including the Company) has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses that, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

Each of the Guarantor and its insurance subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable insurance statutes and regulations and has filed all reports, documents or other information required to be filed under such statutes and regulations, except where the failure to comply or file would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and each of the Guarantor and its insurance subsidiaries is in compliance with the insurance laws and regulations of other jurisdictions which are applicable to the Guarantor and its insurance subsidiaries (as the case may be), except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
(24)    Governmental Authorization. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no authorization, approval or consent of any governmental authority or agency is required (other than any license as an insurer or insurance holding company and other than those that have already been obtained) under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company) conduct their respective businesses in connection with the ownership, directly or indirectly, by the Guarantor of equity interests in any subsidiary (including the Company) or the repatriation of any amount from or to the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company), except to the extent that the failure to obtain such authorization, approval or consent would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(27)    Internal Controls and Procedures. The Guarantor maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the 1934 Act Regulations) designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Guarantor’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018, and the Guarantor was not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting at such time.
(b)      Officers’ Certificates.

SECTION 2.  Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.
(a)      Underwritten Securities. The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

(“Clearstream”), for the account of the Company, by Merrill Lynch International, as Settlement Lead Manager (the “Settlement Lead Manager”), at 10:00 a.m., London time on December 6, 2019 or at such other time and/or date as the Company and the Settlement Lead Manager on behalf of the Underwriters may agree (the “Closing Date”), against delivery of a global certificate representing the Underwritten Securities (the “Registered Global Certificate”), duly executed and registered in the name of The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee for such common depositary, and in or substantially in the form provided in the Indenture, to such common depositary for the respective accounts of the Underwriters. Any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale and transfer of the Underwritten Securities shall be duly paid by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, against delivery of the Registered Global Certificate.
It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representative(s), for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Underwritten Securities which it has severally agreed to purchase. Any Representative, individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by any
 
14

Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.
(c)      Stabilization. In connection with the issuance of the Underwritten Securities, each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby confirms the authority of Merrill Lynch International (the “Stabilizing Manager”) to make adequate public disclosure of information, and to act as the central point responsible for handling any request from a competent authority, in each case as required by Article 6(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016 with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-back programs and stabilization measures.

(1)      the Stabilizing Manager for its own account may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and directives, over-allot and effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Underwritten Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, but in doing so the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Company or the Guarantor and any loss resulting from overallotment and stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be beneficially retained, by the Stabilizing Manager;
(2)      there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will undertake any stabilization action;
(3)      nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities specified in the applicable Terms Agreement; and
(4)      such stabilization, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and directives.
SECTION 3.  Covenants of the Company and the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor covenant with the Representative(s) and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of Underwritten Securities, as follows:

15

Securities. The Company and the Guarantor will effect the filings required under Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as they deem necessary to ascertain promptly whether each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 of the 1933 Act Regulations was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, they will promptly file such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus. The Company and the Guarantor will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Company and the Guarantor agree to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Underwritten Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations.
(b)      Filing of Amendments and Exchange Act Documents; Preparation of Final Term Sheet. The Company and the Guarantor will give the Representative(s) notice of their intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment, supplement or revision to either any preliminary prospectus or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and the Company and the Guarantor will furnish the Representative(s) with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will give the Representative(s) a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such document prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be. The Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Underwritten Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative(s) and attached as Schedule II to the applicable Terms Agreement, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations within the time required by such rule.
(c)      Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company and the Guarantor have furnished or will deliver to the Representative(s) and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or deemed to be a part thereof) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Representative(s), without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d)      Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company and the Guarantor will deliver to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the Company and the Guarantor hereby consent to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company and the Guarantor will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be
 
16

identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(e)      Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company and the Guarantor will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated in this Underwriting Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement and in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. If at any time when the Prospectus is required by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company and the Guarantor, to amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company and the Guarantor will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Company and the Guarantor will use their best efforts to have such amendment declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not automatically effective with respect to the Underwritten Securities), and the Company and the Guarantor will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. Neither the Representative(s)’ consent to, nor any Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor represents that it has not made, and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative(s), it will not make, any offer relating to the Underwritten Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Regulations) required to be filed by the Company or the Guarantor with the Commission or retained by the Company or the Guarantor under Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations; provided that the prior written consent of the Representative(s) shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the free writing prospectuses listed in Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representative(s) is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

If the Company or the Guarantor is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company and the Guarantor will prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representative(s), and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company and the Guarantor will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Underwritten Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

The Company and the Guarantor will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Underwritten Securities to continue as contemplated in the registration statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company or the Guarantor has otherwise become ineligible. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.   Indemnification.
(a)    Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company and the Guarantor agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information deemed to be a part thereof, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) of the 1933 Act Regulations (a “road show”) or the information contained in the Final Term Sheet, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and the Guarantor; and
(3) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative(s)), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (1) or (2) above;
 
24

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by any Underwriter through the Representative(s) expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information deemed to be a part thereof or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(b)    Indemnification of Company, Guarantor, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information deemed to be a part thereof or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by such Underwriter through the Representative(s) expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(c)    Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative(s), and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Guarantor. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
 
25

(d)    Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(2) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
SECTION 7.  Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Underwritten Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Underwritten Securities as set forth on such cover.
The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency
 
26

or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Underwritten Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company and the Guarantor, each officer of the Company and the Guarantor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantor. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite their respective names in the applicable Terms Agreement, and not joint.
SECTION 8.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Underwriting Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities.
SECTION 9.  Termination.
(a)    Terms Agreement. The Representative(s) may terminate this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Guarantor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, if (i) there has been, since the time of execution of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change, or any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has been, since the time of execution of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change, or any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (iii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or Europe or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or
 
27

international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case referred to in this clause (iii), the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative(s), impracticable or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Securities, (iv) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Guarantor or the Company or the insurance claims paying ability rating or other insurance rating of the Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, in each case by any Rating Organization, or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Guarantor or the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or of the insurance claims paying ability or other insurance rating of the Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (v) trading in any securities of the Company or the Guarantor has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE or the NYSE MKT or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by either of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the FINRA or any other governmental authority or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or (vi) a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal, New York or Bermuda authorities or, if the Underwritten Securities are denominated or payable in, or indexed to, one or more foreign or composite currencies, by the relevant authorities in the related foreign country or countries.
(b)    Liabilities. If this Underwriting Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10.  Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall (including due to the exercise of Statutory Loss Absorption Powers described in Section 17 hereof) fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Underwritten Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the applicable Terms Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the Representative(s) shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative(s) shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(a) if the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations under such Terms Agreement bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or
(b) if the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be,
 
28

of Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Terms Agreement, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter (or any Underwriter no longer obligated to purchase the Underwritten Securities in accordance with the exercise of Statutory Loss Absorption Powers described in Section 17 hereof) from liability in respect of its failure or default.
In the event of any such failure or default which does not result in a termination of the applicable Terms Agreement, either the Representative(s) or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Underwriting Agreement.
SECTION 14. Waiver of Immunities.

SECTION 15. Judgment Currency. The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the Euro and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Euro amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Underwriter is able to purchase Euros with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each of the Company and the Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.
SECTION 16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

30

Exhibit B
FORM OF OPINION OF BÄR & KARRER AG, GUARANTOR’S
SWISS COUNSEL, TO BE DELIVERED
PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)
The following opinion statements are issued subject to the respective assumptions and qualifications in the opinion letter. Terms used but not defined in this Underwriting Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the opinion letter.
a.    The Guarantor is a company duly created for an unlimited duration and validly existing as a company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) under the laws of Switzerland with full power and authority under the laws of Switzerland to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations (in its capacity as Guarantor) under the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Amendment and the Agency Agreement.
b.    Based on the Extract, the Guarantor has a share capital of CHF 11,586,780,315.60 divided into 479,783,864 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 24.15 each and all of the shares of the Guarantor have been validly issued and are fully paid-in as to their nominal value.
c.    No authorizations, consents or approvals are required by the Guarantor from any governmental or other regulatory agency in Switzerland for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Amendment and the Agency Agreement.
d.    Each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Amendment, and the Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor in accordance with the laws of Switzerland and the Articles of Association. The obligations expressed in the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, and the Agency Agreement to be assumed by the Guarantor are legal, valid and binding obligations on the Guarantor and enforceable against the Guarantor in Switzerland.
e.    Based on the Extract, the Guarantor transferred its domicile from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland in July 2008. To the extent the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor as a Cayman company, the Indenture continues to be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor as a Swiss Company. The obligations undertaken by the Guarantor under the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), are legal and valid obligations on the Guarantor and enforceable against the Guarantor in Switzerland.
f.    The Guarantee pursuant to Article 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment) constitutes direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and ranks pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor (with the exception of the claims which are preferred by any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws affecting creditors generally).
 
B-1

g.    The Guarantor will not be required by the existing laws of Switzerland to make any deductions or withholding for Swiss taxes or duties of whatever nature from any payment payable by it under Article 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment) to the holders of the Underwritten Securities in respect of principal or interest to become due under the Underwritten Securities.
h.    Under Swiss federal tax law, no stamp, registration or other taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature are payable in Switzerland upon or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Amendment or the issue or transfer by delivery of the Underwritten Securities to the underwriters.
i.    The statements in: (i) the Prospectus on p. 20 under the caption “Chubb Guarantee” and in the Prospectus Supplement on p. S-18 under the caption “Guarantee”, in each case insofar as they purport to describe provisions of Swiss law or the Articles of Association, constitute a fair summary of such provisions of Swiss law or of the Articles of Association; and (ii) the Prospectus Supplement on p. S-34 under the caption “Certain Tax Consequences – Swiss Taxation”, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of Swiss law and tax practice relating to the use of proceeds, constitute a fair summary of such laws and tax practice.
j.    It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), the Terms Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement and the Agency Agreement, that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any government department or other authority in Switzerland.
k.    Insofar as Swiss law is concerned, the choice of New York law as the governing law of the Underwritten Securities, the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment) and the Agency Agreement would, subject to the principle of public policy (ordre public) and similar principles, be recognized and enforced by the Swiss courts provided that the relevant provisions of New York law are proven as a matter of fact.
l.    The submission by the Guarantor in the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), the Agency Agreement, the Terms Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement to the jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City are valid and binding on the Guarantor and not subject to revocation, assuming that no applicable law (other than Swiss law) contains a provision to the contrary.
m.    The designation by the Guarantor of Chubb Group Holdings Inc. as agent to receive service of process in New York courts on its behalf is valid and binding under the laws of Switzerland, as long as Chubb Group Holdings Inc. is properly acting as agent for service of process and its mandate has not been revoked.
n.    By reason of the submission to the New York State and Federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, any final and conclusive judgment in respect of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), the Agency
 
B-2

Agreement, the Terms Agreement or the Underwritten Securities obtained against the Guarantor in any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City would be recognized and enforced in Switzerland on the basis and subject to the conditions of art. 25 to 30 of the Private International Law Statute of Switzerland of 18 December 1987, as amended (the “IPLA”) without relitigation or re-examination of any substantive matter adjudicated therein (except if the judgment is manifestly inconsistent with Swiss public policy (ordre public)).
o.    Any judgment awarded in the courts of Switzerland for claims due in a currency other than Swiss Francs would be awarded in that currency if so requested. However, for the enforcement of such judgment in Switzerland, the claim would have to be converted into Swiss Francs generally at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of instituting the enforcement proceeding rather than at the date of judgment.
p.    Neither the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement, the Amendment and the Agency Agreement by the Guarantor nor the performance of the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Guarantor under the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), the Agency Agreement, and the Terms Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement violate the Articles of Association or, as far as Swiss law is applicable, existing Swiss law generally applicable to a company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft).
q.    It is not necessary under the laws of Switzerland in order to enable any person to exercise or enforce its rights under the Indenture (as modified by the Amendment), the Agency Agreement, the Terms Agreement or the Underwriting Agreement for that person to be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Switzerland.
r.    None of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement, the Terms Agreement or the Agency Agreement will be deemed resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Switzerland by reason only of their execution, performance or enforcement thereof.

(i)    The Guarantor is qualified to do business, and is in good standing, as a foreign corporation, under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not singly or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change;
(ii)    Each “significant subsidiary” of the Guarantor (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the 1933 Act) and the Company is qualified to transact business and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) would not singly or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change;
(iii)    Except as set forth in each of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, such counsel does not know of any outstanding: (A) securities or obligations of the Guarantor convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries; (B) rights, warrants or options to acquire or purchase from the Guarantor any shares of capital stock of the Guarantor or any such convertible or exchangeable securities or obligations; or (C) obligations or understandings of the Guarantor to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or obligations, or any such warrants, rights or obligations;
(iv)    To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, and other than as disclosed in each of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries that, if determined adversely to the Guarantor or such subsidiary, would result in a Material Adverse Change.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the Guarantor, their respective subsidiaries and public officials.

(vi)    Assuming the Guarantee has been duly authorized by the Guarantor for issuance and sale pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, the Guarantee, when issued and delivered to the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(xii)    The Registration Statement, including without limitation the Rule 430B Information, and the Prospectus, excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, and each amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, as of their respective effective or issue dates (including without limitation each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations), other than the financial statements and supporting schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations.

(xiv)    The [each] applicable Indenture has been duly qualified under the 1939 Act.
(xv)    The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Underwritten
 
D-3

Securities as herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in each of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Such counsel shall also state that the Registration Statement became effective under the 1933 Act upon filing on October 9, 2018; that any required filings of each prospectus (including the Prospectus) pursuant to Rule 424(b) have been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)); that any required filing of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d); that, based solely on such counsel’s review of the Commission’s website, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for the purpose have been instituted, are pending or, to such counsel’s knowledge, contemplated under the 1933 Act; and that, based solely on inquiries of the Company and the Guarantor, neither the Company nor the Guarantor has received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration form, the Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act and neither the Company nor the Guarantor is the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities.
Such counsel shall also state that they have examined various documents and participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and the Guarantor and their accountants and with representatives of the Representative(s) and their counsel at which times the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and that, although they are not passing upon and assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or making any representation that they have independently verified or checked the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements, except as set forth above in paragraphs (viii), (x) and (xi), nothing came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, at the most recent effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of the Prospectus, at the date of any such amendment or supplement or at the Closing Time, included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (such counsel need not express a belief with respect to the financial statements and related schedules or the other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the applicable Trustee).
 
D-4

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the corporate laws of the State of Delaware or the federal laws of the United States of America, to the extent such counsel deems proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel whom such counsel believes to be reliable (which opinion shall be dated and furnished to the Representative(s) at the Closing Time, shall be satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Underwriters and shall expressly state that the Underwriters may rely on such opinion as if it were addressed to them), provided that such counsel shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying upon such opinion, and (B) as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, its subsidiaries and public officials.

(formerly known as ACE INA Holdings Inc.), as issuer (the “Company”), Chubb Limited (formerly known as ACE Limited), as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to J.P.

I.            The issuance of a series of Securities designated as 0.300% Senior Notes due 2024 in an aggregate principal amount of €700,000,000 (the “2024 Securities”) has been approved and authorized in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 15, 2015, August 13, 2018 and November 22, 2019. The terms of the 2024 Securities shall be as follows:
(a)        The title of the 2024 Securities is “0.300% Senior Notes due 2024”.
(b)        The aggregate principal amount of 2024 Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is initially limited to €700,000,000, except for 2024 Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2024 Securities pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 9.5 or 11.7 of the Indenture.
(c)        The 2024 Securities shall initially be issued in book-entry form, in denominations of €100,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of €1,000, and represented by one or more registered global Securities substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) for Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”), or a nominee of the Common Depositary, and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Common Depositary.
(d)        The principal amount of the 2024 Securities shall be due and payable on December 15, 2024.
(e)        The principal of the 2024 Securities shall bear interest from December 6, 2019 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable annually in arrears on December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2020, to the Persons in whose names the 2024 Securities (or one or

more Predecessor 2024 Securities) are registered (i) in the case of 2024 Securities represented by a global security, at the close of business on the Business Day (for this purpose a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date and (ii) in all other cases, 15 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.
(f)        Interest on the 2024 Securities will accrue at the rate of 0.300% per annum from December 6, 2019 until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the 2024 Securities will be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention.
(g)        The 2024 Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and notices and demands to or upon the Company or the Guarantor in respect of the 2024 Securities and the Indenture may be served, at the office or agency of the Company and the Guarantor maintained for such purposes in The City of New York, State of New York from time to time, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting through its office or agency in The City of New York designated from time to time for such purpose, as its agent for the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided, further, that (subject to Section 10.2 of the Indenture) the Company may at any time remove the Trustee as its office or agency in The City of New York designated for the foregoing purposes and may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies for the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.
(h)        The 2024 Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to Stated Maturity as described in Exhibit A, and are not subject to a sinking fund or analogous provision.
(i)        Payments of principal, interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the 2024 Securities shall be made in euro. If the euro is unavailable to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s or the Guarantor’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the 2024 Securities will be made in United States dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor or so used. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into United States dollars on the basis of the market exchange rate for euro most recently available on, or prior to, the second business day before the relevant payment date. “Euro” means the currency of the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty

Any payment in respect of the 2024 Securities so made in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the 2024 Securities or the Indenture.
(j)        The Trustee shall be Security Registrar and initial transfer agent for the 2024 Securities. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch shall be the initial Paying Agent for the 2024 Securities. The principal of, interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the 2024 Securities shall be payable, and the 2024 Securities may be surrendered or presented for payment, at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Holders entitled thereto, as such addresses shall appear in the Security Register for the 2024 Securities. The appointment of the transfer agent and Paying Agent is subject to the Company’s right (subject to Section 10.2 of the Indenture) to remove the Trustee as such transfer agent and to remove The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as such Paying Agent and, from time to time, to designate one or more co-Security Registrars and one or more other Paying Agents and transfer agents and to rescind from time to time any such designations. Each transfer agent shall act as a co-Security Registrar and shall keep at the corporate trust office of the Security Registrar outside of the United Kingdom a Security Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the 2024 Securities and registration of transfers of the 2024 Securities. London is designated as a Place of Payment for the 2024 Securities. Notwithstanding Section 10.2 of the Indenture, with respect to the 2024 Securities (i) the Offices and Agencies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Indenture need not be maintained in any Place of Payment and (ii) the Company shall not be required to maintain an exchange rate agent.
(k)        Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of the 2024 Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.4 of the Indenture and in the 2024 Securities. Whenever in this Officer’s Certificate or in the certificate evidencing the 2024 Securities there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to such 2024 Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
(l)        The 2024 Securities shall have such additional terms and provisions as are set forth in Exhibit A hereto, all of which terms and provisions are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Officer’s Certificate as if set forth in full herein.

0.300% Senior Note due 2024
Chubb INA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK DEPOSITORY (NOMINEES) LIMITED, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as common depositary

for Clearstream and Euroclear, or registered assigns, the principal sum of                     EURO (€        ) on December 15, 2024 and to pay interest thereon from December 6, 2019 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable annually in arrears on December 15 in each year (an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2020, at the rate of 0.300% per annum, until the principal hereof (and any Additional Amounts (as defined below)) is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention. If any Interest Payment Date or the maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such next Business Day. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to herein, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered (i) in the case of Notes (as defined below) represented by a global security, at the close of business on the Business Day (for this purpose a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date and (ii) in all other cases, 15 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Special Record Date (which shall be at least 10 days before the payment date) for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture referred to herein. Any interest paid on this Note shall be increased to the extent necessary to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in this Note.
Payment of the principal of, interest on or any Redemption Price or Additional Amounts in respect of this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company and the Guarantor (as defined below) maintained for that purpose in Euro; provided, however, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to the Common Depositary or any successor common depositary thereto (or, in any such case, its nominee) may be made by wire transfer to the nominee or account designated by Common Depositary or such common depositary successor in writing.
“Euro” shall mean the currency of the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, as amended from time to time.

If the Euro is unavailable to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s or the Guarantor’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in United States dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor, or so used. The amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into United States dollars on the basis of the market exchange rate for Euro most recently available on, or prior to, the second Business Day before the relevant payment date.
“Market exchange rate” means the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of Euro as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Note or the Indenture.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by Chubb Limited, a company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) under the laws of Switzerland (the “Guarantor”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1999, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2013 (such Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture together herein called, together with all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company (formerly known as ACE INA Holdings Inc.), the Guarantor (formerly known as ACE Limited) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and The First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto referenced is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions related to further Notes provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount specified in the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 6, 2019, establishing the terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor pursuant to Article 16 of the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company or the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series issued under the Indenture
 
3

at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
Notices to Holders of the Notes shall be transmitted to the registered Holders, subject to the provisions herein. Any notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes are represented by a global security deposited with a Common Depositary, notices to Holders may be given by delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear, and such notices shall be deemed to be given on the day following the date of delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear.
This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, interest on or any Redemption Price or any Additional Amounts in respect of this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Note, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company and the Guarantor maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, State of New York, which shall initially be the office or agency of the Trustee in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, interests in Notes which are represented by a global security will be transferable in accordance with the rules and procedures effective from time to time of Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be.
Other than as provided herein with respect to definitive Notes, the Notes are issuable only in global registered form without coupons in the denominations specified in the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 6, 2019, establishing the terms of the Notes, all as more fully provided in the Indenture and such Officer’s Certificate. As provided in the Indenture and in such Officer’s Certificate, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, such Officer’s Certificate and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

So long as the Notes are represented by a global security, the Notes shall be issued in definitive form upon surrender of the global notes in accordance with their terms only if: (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes; (b) either Clearstream or Euroclear is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days or more (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so and no alternative clearing system satisfactory to the Trustee is available; or (c) the Company would suffer a disadvantage as a result of a change in laws or regulations (taxation or otherwise) or as a result of a change in the practice of Clearstream and/or Euroclear which would not be suffered were the Notes in definitive form and a certificate to such effect signed by an authorized signatory of the Company is given to the Trustee. Thereupon (in the case of (a) or (b) above) the Holder of a global security or the Trustee may give notice to the Company and (in the case of (c) above) the Company may give notice to the Trustee and the Holder, of its intention to exchange a global security for Notes in definitive form on or after the Exchange Date (as defined below).

Notes issued on or after an Exchange Date in definitive form will be issued in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any redemption made at the option of the Company shall be conducted in accordance with Article 11 of the Indenture, provided that any reference in Section 11.4 of the Indenture to 30 days shall be deemed to be 15 days for the purposes of this Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, if less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or otherwise in accordance with industry standards or in the case the Notes are represented by one or more global securities, beneficial interests therein shall be selected for redemption by Clearstream or Euroclear in accordance with their respective applicable procedures therefor.

for Clearstream and Euroclear, or registered assigns, the principal sum of                      EURO (€        ) on December 15, 2029 and to pay interest thereon from December 6, 2019 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable annually in arrears on December 15 in each year (an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2020, at the rate of 0.875% per annum, until the principal hereof (and any Additional Amounts (as defined below)) is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention. If any Interest Payment Date or the maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such next Business Day. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to herein, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered (i) in the case of Notes (as defined below) represented by a global security, at the close of business on the Business Day (for this purpose a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date and (ii) in all other cases, 15 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Special Record Date (which shall be at least 10 days before the payment date) for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture referred to herein. Any interest paid on this Note shall be increased to the extent necessary to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in this Note.
Payment of the principal of, interest on or any Redemption Price or Additional Amounts in respect of this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company and the Guarantor (as defined below) maintained for that purpose in Euro; provided, however, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to the Common Depositary or any successor common depositary thereto (or, in any such case, its nominee) may be made by wire transfer to the nominee or account designated by Common Depositary or such common depositary successor in writing.
“Euro” shall mean the currency of the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, as amended from time to time.

If the Euro is unavailable to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s or the Guarantor’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in United States dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or, in the case of the Guarantee, the Guarantor, or so used. The amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into United States dollars on the basis of the market exchange rate for Euro most recently available on, or prior to, the second Business Day before the relevant payment date.
“Market exchange rate” means the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of Euro as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Note or the Indenture.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by Chubb Limited, a company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) under the laws of Switzerland (the “Guarantor”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1999, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2013 (such Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture together herein called, together with all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company (formerly known as ACE INA Holdings Inc.), the Guarantor (formerly known as ACE Limited) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and The First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto referenced is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions related to further Notes provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount specified in the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 6, 2019, establishing the terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor pursuant to Article 16 of the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company or the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series issued under the Indenture
 
3

at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
Notices to Holders of the Notes shall be transmitted to the registered Holders, subject to the provisions herein. Any notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes are represented by a global security deposited with a Common Depositary, notices to Holders may be given by delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear, and such notices shall be deemed to be given on the day following the date of delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear.
This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, interest on or any Redemption Price or any Additional Amounts in respect of this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Note, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company and the Guarantor maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, State of New York, which shall initially be the office or agency of the Trustee in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, interests in Notes which are represented by a global security will be transferable in accordance with the rules and procedures effective from time to time of Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be.
Other than as provided herein with respect to definitive Notes, the Notes are issuable only in global registered form without coupons in the denominations specified in the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 6, 2019, establishing the terms of the Notes, all as more fully provided in the Indenture and such Officer’s Certificate. As provided in the Indenture and in such Officer’s Certificate, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, such Officer’s Certificate and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

So long as the Notes are represented by a global security, the Notes shall be issued in definitive form upon surrender of the global notes in accordance with their terms only if: (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes; (b) either Clearstream or Euroclear is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days or more (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so and no alternative clearing system satisfactory to the Trustee is available; or (c) the Company would suffer a disadvantage as a result of a change in laws or regulations (taxation or otherwise) or as a result of a change in the practice of Clearstream and/or Euroclear which would not be suffered were the Notes in definitive form and a certificate to such effect signed by an authorized signatory of the Company is given to the Trustee. Thereupon (in the case of (a) or (b) above) the Holder of a global security or the Trustee may give notice to the Company and (in the case of (c) above) the Company may give notice to the Trustee and the Holder, of its intention to exchange a global security for Notes in definitive form on or after the Exchange Date (as defined below).
On or after the Exchange Date the Holder of the global security may or, in the case of (c) above, shall surrender it to or to the order of the Paying Agent. In exchange for the global security, the Company shall deliver, or procure the delivery of, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes printed in accordance with any applicable legal and stock exchange requirements.

“Exchange Date” means a day specified in the notice requiring exchange falling not less than 60 days after that on which the notice requiring exchange is given and being a day on which banks are open for general business in London, the place in which the specified office of the Paying Agent is located and, except in case of exchange pursuant to (b) above, in the place in which Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, is located.
Notes issued on or after an Exchange Date in definitive form will be issued in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Re:           Chubb Limited

Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have represented Chubb Limited, a Swiss company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) (“Chubb”), and Chubb INA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chubb INA”) in connection (i) with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-227749) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to, among other things, Chubb INA’s debt securities, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Chubb and (ii) the offer and sale of (a) €700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Chubb INA’s 0.300% Senior Notes due 2024 and (b) €700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Chubb INA’s 0.875% Senior Notes due 2029 (together, the “Notes”).
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have examined (i) the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1999 (the “Indenture”), among Chubb, Chubb INA and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented from time to time; (ii) the Notes and (iii) the Guarantee.
In addition, we have examined such other documents, certificates and opinions, and have made such further investigation as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions expressed below. In expressing the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing any document. As to all parties other than Chubb INA, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents, and, with respect to all parties other than Chubb INA and Chubb, we have assumed

the validity and enforceability of all documents against all parties thereto, other than Chubb INA and Chubb, in accordance with their respective terms.
As to questions of fact material to our opinions (but not as to legal conclusions), we have, to the extent we deemed such reliance appropriate, relied upon certificates and other statements of officers of Chubb INA and Chubb and of public officials issued with respect to Chubb INA and Chubb.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
(i)    Chubb INA is duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
(ii)    the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Chubb INA and (assuming the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Chubb and the Trustee), the Indenture constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Chubb INA and Chubb, enforceable against Chubb INA and Chubb in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture;
(iii)    the Notes have been duly authorized and executed by Chubb INA and, assuming the due authentication thereof in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivery against payment of the consideration therefor, constitute valid and binding obligations of Chubb INA, enforceable against Chubb INA in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; and
(iv)    assuming the Guarantee has been duly authorized by Chubb under Swiss law, the Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Chubb enforceable against Chubb in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
