3. When funding by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Applicable Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC issued by a bank and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Applicable Company’s reserves in an amount not less than the Reinsurer’s Obligations. The LOC will be issued for a period of not less than one year, and will be automatically extended for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless thirty (30) days (or such other time period as may be required by insurance regulatory authorities and applicable law), prior to any expiration date the issuing bank will notify the Applicable Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the LOC extended for any additional period.

4. The Reinsurer and the Applicable Company agree that any funding provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and may be utilized by the Applicable Company or any successor, by operation of law, of the Applicable Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Applicable Company, for the following purposes, unless otherwise provided for in a separate trust agreement:

4.1 To reimburse the Applicable Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and that has not been otherwise paid;

4.2 To make refund of any sum that is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a trust agreement) under this Contract and that has not been otherwise paid;

4.3 To fund an account with the Applicable Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations if such LOC is under notice of non-renewal or not replaced by the Reinsurer within ten (10) days’ prior to its expiration. Such a cash deposit will be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Applicable Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate will accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer. Any taxes payable on accrued interest will be paid out of the assets in the account that are in excess of the Reinsurer’s Obligations (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a trust agreement). If the assets are inadequate to pay taxes, any taxes due will be paid by the Reinsurer; or

4.4 To pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Applicable Company claims are due under this Contract.

5. If the amount drawn by the Applicable Company is in excess of the actual amount required under this Article, the actual amount determined to be due, the Applicable Company will promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing will be applied without diminution because of insolvency of either Party.

6. The issuing bank will have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Applicable Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Applicable Company.

7. Sixty (60) days’ prior to the end of each calendar quarter, the Applicable Company will prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s Obligations for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method of funding, in the following manner:

7.1 If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of the LOC as of the statement date, the Reinsurer will, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the statement, secure delivery of an amendment to the LOC to the Applicable Company, increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such excess. Should another method of funding be used, the Reinsurer will, within the time period outlined above, increase such funding by the amount of such excess.

7.2 If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of the LOC (or that 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the trust account balance if funding is provided by a

trust agreement), as of the statement date, the Applicable Company will, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the LOC reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit. Should another method of funding be used, the Applicable Company will, within the time period outlined above, decrease such funding by the amount of such excess.
