ARTICLE 10

DEFINITIONS

A. “Ultimate Net Loss” means the actual loss paid by the Company or which the Company becomes liable to pay, including ninety point zero percent (90.0%) of Loss in Excess of Policy Limits and ninety point zero percent (90.0%) of Extra Contractual Obligations, but excluding Allocated Loss Adjustment Expense, which shall be handled in accordance with the penultimate paragraph within this definition.

Salvages and all recoveries (including amounts due from all reinsurances that inure to the benefit of this Contract, whether recovered or not), shall be first deducted from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder.

All salvages, recoveries or payments recovered or received subsequent to loss settlement hereunder shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the aforesaid settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto.

The Company shall be deemed to be “liable to pay” a loss when a judgment has been rendered that the Company does not plan to appeal, and/or the Company has obtained a release, and/or the Company has accepted a proof of loss.

Nothing in this clause shall be construed to mean that losses are not recoverable hereunder until the Company's Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained.

The Reinsurer shall pay to the Company the Reinsurer’s proportion of Allocated Loss Adjustment Expense in the ratio that the Reinsurer’s loss payment bears to the total Ultimate Net Loss. However, expense incurred in obtaining salvages or recoveries, or in the reduction or reversal of any award or judgment, shall be apportioned between the Company and the Reinsurer in the proportion that each benefits from such salvage, recovery, reduction, or reversal. Expenses incurred up to the time of the original loss settlement, verdict, judgment or award shall be shared in proportion to what would have been each party’s share. Such payment shall be in addition to the limits stated in paragraphs A., B., and C. of the Article entitled RETENTION AND LIMIT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if legal expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions connected thereto, including but not limited to declaratory judgment actions, have been incurred in connection with a claim under a Policy covered by this Contract, and such coverage question was resolved in the Company’s favor, such expenses and costs shall be considered Ultimate Net Loss hereunder.

B. “Allocated Loss Adjustment Expense” means costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim or loss, or alleged loss, including but not limited to:

1. court costs;

2. costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds;

3. monitoring counsel expenses;

4. legal expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions connected thereto, including but not limited to declaratory judgment actions;

5. post-judgment interest;

6. pre-judgment interest, unless included as part of an award or judgment; and

7. subrogation, salvage and recovery expenses

“Allocated Loss Adjustment Expense” does not include salaries and expenses of the Company’s employees and office and other overhead expenses.

C. “Event” “means the happening of one or a series of related acts, errors, omissions or accidents, irrespective of the number of Insureds, Policies and Claims involved. The date of loss for any Event shall be the earliest report date for any Claim or loss involved in the Event. If the earliest report date is under a Policy allocated to this Contract, the entire Event shall be subject to coverage hereunder and all Policies involved in such Event, regardless of the inception date of such Policies, shall be covered hereunder.

Any claim made under any extended reporting and/or discovery period shall for the purposes of this Contract be considered to be made on the last day of the Policy period immediately preceding the extended reporting and/or discovery period.

D. “Net Written Premium” means gross written premium of the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder, less return premiums, and less written premiums ceded by the Company for reinsurance that inures to the benefit of this Contract.

E. “Policy” means any binder, policy, or contract of insurance issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of the Company.

F. “Ex-gratia Settlements” means all settlements of losses tendered but not covered under the Company’s Policies, which Policies are otherwise reinsured hereunder, other than Losses in Excess of Original Policy Limits and Extra Contractual Obligations as defined herein. Ex- gratia Settlements shall not include:

1. Settlements of losses which are arguably within the contemplation of coverage under the Company’s Policies reinsured hereunder;

2. Settlements made to avoid costs that could be incurred in connection with potential or actual litigation relating to coverage issues arising under the Company’s Policies reinsured hereunder;

3. Losses already excluded under this Contract.

G. “Insured” means each insured who is provided with a separate limit of liability under the Company's Policy(ies).

H. “Claim” shall follow the definition under the original Policy.

ARTICLE 11

NET RETAINED LIABILITY

A. This Contract applies only to that portion of any loss that the Company retains net for its own account (prior to deduction of any reinsurance that inures solely to the benefit of the Company).

B. The amount of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts that may have become due from such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

ARTICLE 12

LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS AND EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A. This Contract shall cover Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, as provided in the definition of Ultimate Net Loss under the Article entitled DEFINITIONS. “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” shall mean any amount paid or payable by the Company in excess of its Policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its Policy, as a result of an action against it by its insured or its insured's assignee to recover damages the insured is legally obligated to pay to a third party claimant because of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in rejecting a settlement within Policy limits, or in discharging its duty to defend or prepare the defense in the trial of an action against its insured, or in discharging its duty to prepare or prosecute an appeal consequent upon such an action.

B. This Contract shall cover Extra Contractual Obligations, as provided in the definition of Ultimate Net Loss under the Article entitled DEFINITIONS. “Extra Contractual Obligations” shall mean any damages including, but not limited to, exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages, other than Loss in Excess of Policy Limits paid or payable by the Company as a result of an action against it by its insured, its insured's assignee or a third party claimant, which action alleges negligence or bad faith on the part of the Company in handling a claim under a Policy subject to this Contract. An Extra Contractual Obligation shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the Policy.

C. Recoveries from any form of insurance or reinsurance which protect the Company against claims the subject matter of this Article will inure to the benefit of the Reinsurers and shall be deducted to arrive at the amount of the Company's loss payable hereunder.

D. The report date as respects Loss in Excess of Policy Limits liability / Extra Contractual Obligation will be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date when the underlying claim is first reported to the Company.

E. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any Loss in Excess of Policy Limits or any Extra Contractual Obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

F. If any provision of this Article shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Article or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 13

C. The Reinsurers hereby agree that the Letter of Credit shall provide for automatic extension of the Letter of Credit without amendment for one year from the date of expiration of said Letter or any future expiration date unless thirty (30) days prior to any expiration the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letter of Credit renewed for any additional period.

obligations of the Reinsurer under this Contract until a renewal Letter of Credit acceptable to the regulatory authority(ies) having jurisdiction over the Company, a trust account or a substitute in lieu thereof acceptable to the regulatory authority(ies) having jurisdiction over the Company, has been received by the Company. The Company shall provide to the Reinsurer payment of any interest thereon accruing from such account.

If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s share of obligations exceeds the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment of the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit or adjust the trust account balance, as applicable, by the amount of such difference. If the statement shows, however, that the Reinsurer’s share of obligations is less than the balance of the Letter of Credit or the trust account as of the statement date, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to release funds from the trust to the Reinsurer or secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.

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

SERVICE OF SUIT (BRMA 49E)

(This Article applies to Reinsurers domiciled outside the United States of America and/or unauthorized in any state, territory, or district of the United States of America that has jurisdiction over the Company and in which a subject suit has been instituted. This Article is not intended to conflict with or override the parties' obligation to arbitrate their disputes in accordance with the Article entitled ARBITRATION).

A. In the event any Reinsurer hereon fails to pay any amount claimed due hereunder, such Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States and shall comply with all requirements necessary to give that court jurisdiction. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer's right to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes and Mount, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto. In any suit instituted against it upon this Contract, the Reinsurer shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

B. The above named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that they shall enter a general appearance upon the Reinsurer's behalf in the event such a suit is instituted.

C. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute (or his successor

or successors in office) as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit, or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract, and hereby designates the above named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 24

GOVERNING LAW (BRMA 71B)

ARTICLE 25

ARBITRATION (BRMA 6J)

A. As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, it is hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be chosen by the two (2) Arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be active or retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Lloyd's London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within thirty (30) days following a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two (2) Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two (2) Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within thirty (30) days following their appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three (3) candidates within ten (10) days thereafter, two (2) of whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.

B. Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within thirty (30) days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the Arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the Umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

C. If more than one Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such Reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Reinsurers participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

D. Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two (2) Arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two (2) parties.

E. Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state of Pennsylvania.

ARTICLE 26

INSOLVENCY

A. In the event of insolvency and the appointment of a conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company, the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer shall be payable to the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor on the basis of claims allowed against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any conservator,

liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims, without diminution because of that insolvency, or because the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.

B. Payments by the Reinsurer as above set forth shall be made directly to the Company or to its conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor, except where the contract of insurance or reinsurance specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance or except as provided by applicable law and regulation (such as subsection (a) of section 4118 of the New York Insurance Laws) in the event of the insolvency of the Company.

C. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and during the pendency of such claim any Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable subject to court approval against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

D. Where two (2) or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

E. The original insured or policyholder shall not have any rights against the Reinsurer which are not specifically set forth in this Contract, or in a specific agreement between the Reinsurer and the original insured or policyholder.

ARTICLE 27

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Nothing in this Article shall act to preclude the introduction of submission-related documents in any dispute between the parties.

ARTICLE 28

OFFSET

The Company and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise. In the event of the insolvency of any party, offset shall be as permitted by applicable insolvency or liquidation law.

2. an exchange of facsimile copies showing the original written ink signature of paper documents; or

3. electronic signature technology employing computer software and a digital signature or digitizer pen pad to capture a person’s handwritten signature in such a manner that the signature is unique to the person signing, is under the sole control of the person signing, is capable of verification to authenticate the signature and is linked to the document signed in such a manner that if the data is changed, such signature is invalidated.

B. The use of any one or a combination of these methods of execution shall constitute a legally binding and valid signing of this Contract. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly executed, shall be deemed an original.

ARTICLE 31

FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (“FATCA”)

A. Each Reinsurer hereby acknowledges the requirements of Sections 1471-1474 US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued from time to time thereunder (“FATCA”) and the obligation of each of them to provide to the Intermediary a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form ▇▇-▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇ or other documentation meeting the requirements of the FATCA regulations to establish they are not subject to any withholding requirement pursuant to FATCA (the “Required Documentation”).

B. Furthermore:

1. If a Reinsurer becomes non-compliant with FATCA during the Contract period or has not provided the Intermediary with the Required Documentation fourteen (14) days prior to any reinsurance premium due date, the Withholding Agent (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-1(b)(147)) shall withhold thirty percent (30%) of the reinsurance premium (to the extent all or a portion of that reinsurance premium is subject to withholding pursuant to FATCA) due to that Reinsurer under this Contract on that reinsurance premium due date and shall promptly notify that Reinsurer via the Intermediary.

2. The withholding of reinsurance premium by virtue of 1. above shall not be, and shall not be treated by the Reinsurer as a breach of any reinsurance premium payment condition, warranty or other clause whether or not entitling the Reinsurer to cancel, terminate or restrict this Contract, refuse, restrict or delay payment of any claim or invoke any interest, penalty or other late payment provision. The Reinsurer shall be liable under this Contract as if no such withholding had been made.

3. The Reinsurer shall not recoup sums withheld under 1. above by deducting equivalent sums from any payments due to the Company or by set off against any other sums owed by the Reinsurer and any general or contractual right of set-off enjoyed by the Reinsurer is hereby varied and qualified to that extent.

4. Where reinsurance premium is withheld in error, has not yet been paid to the IRS and the underwriter has been paid only the net reinsurance premium following such withholding, the Intermediary will cooperate with the Reinsurer to process the requisite refund.

ARTICLE 32

ASSIGNMENT

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns provided, however, that this Contract may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other which consent may be withheld by either party in its sole unfettered discretion. This provision shall not be construed to preclude the assignment by the Company of reinsurance recoverables to another party for collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior written consent shall be required in the event of any conversion by the Company from a reciprocal insurance exchange to a stock company during the term of this Contract, nor shall such a conversion affect the terms and conditions of this Contract.

The Reinsurer shall have no duty to defend any actions against the named insureds and shall have no liability for amounts due from other Subscribing Reinsurers. In no event shall the provisions of this Article subject the Reinsurer to any additional liability to or on behalf of the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The Reinsurer reserves the right to set off any outstanding premium against payment in accordance with this Article, before such payment is made:

B. The Company has the option to allow insured, in addition to those specifically listed in an amendment to this Contract, to make direct claim to the Reinsurer in the manner set forth in that paragraph, and the Reinsurer agrees to provide to any such insureds the coverage described in that paragraph, subject to all the conditions set forth in that paragraph.
