AGGREGATE CATASTROPHE EXCESS OF LOSS AND PER OCCURRENCE CATASTROPHE EXCESS OF
LOSS REINSURANCE CONTRACT

This Aggregate Catastrophe Excess of Loss and Per Occurrence Catastrophe Excess
of Loss Reinsurance Contract (the “Contract”) is hereby made by and between
Employers Mutual Casualty Company ("EMCC") as the Reinsurer and EMC Reinsurance
Company ("EMC Re") as the Reinsured or Company.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE 1
AGREEMENT
The Reinsured (EMC Re) agrees to cede and the Reinsurer (EMCC) agrees to accept
premium and liability that may accrue as a result of Ultimate Net Loss to the
extent further defined as follows involving loss or losses caused by any natural
or man caused perils, including North American crop losses, on business in force
at the inception date of this Contract, or written or renewed during the term of
this Contract, subject to the terms and conditions herein contained.
ARTICLE 2
RETENTIONS AND LIMITS
A.
Annual Catastrophe Aggregate. The Reinsurer shall be liable in respect of Cat
Loss Occurrences and excess North American crop losses during the Contract Year
for Ultimate Net Loss over and above an initial Ultimate Net Loss of Twenty
Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (the “Catastrophe Aggregate Retention”),
subject to a limit of liability to the Reinsurer of 80% of One Hundred Million
Dollars ($100,000,000.00) of Ultimate Net Loss (the “Annual Catastrophe
Aggregate Limit”). Thus, the Reinsurer’s maximum liability under this annual
catastrophe aggregate coverage is Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000.00) of
Ultimate Net Loss.

B.
Per Occurrence. The Reinsurer shall be liable in respect of each Cat Loss
Occurrence during the Contract Year for Ultimate Net Loss over and above an
initial Ultimate Net Loss of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Per
Occurrence Retention”), subject to a limit of liability to the Reinsurer of 80%
of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) of Ultimate Net Loss from each Cat Loss
Occurrence (the “Per Occurrence Limit”). The limit of liability to the Reinsurer
from Ultimate Net Loss under this per occurrence reinsurance is Eight Million
Dollars ($8,000,000.00), regardless of the number of Cat Loss Occurrences.

Any amount retained by the Reinsured under the per occurrence reinsurance
(including the Reinsured’s 20% co-participation) described in Article 2 Section
B will be counted as Ultimate Net Loss under the annual catastrophe aggregate
reinsurance in Article 2 Section A.
ARTICLE 3
TERM (CONTINUOUS CONTRACT)

This Contract shall take effect at 12:01 A.M. on January 1, 2016, for (a) Cat
Loss Occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract and for (b) North

harvested during the term of this Contract. The Contract shall remain in effect
for each Contract Year thereafter until cancelled.

Loss or damage occasioned by war, invasion, hostilities, acts of foreign

Additionally, “Ultimate Net Loss” to the annual catastrophe aggregate coverage
set out in Article 2 Section A includes only Cat Loss Occurrences in which the
Reinsured’s ultimate net loss exceeds $500,000 (“Franchise Deductible”), it
being understood that once a Cat Loss Occurrence exceeds $500,000 of net loss,

Salvages and all recoveries (including amounts due from all other reinsurance
contracts that inure to the benefit of this Contract), shall be first deducted
from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder.

3.
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.

4.
The Company shall be deemed to be “liable to pay” a loss when a judgment has
been rendered that neither the Company [for direct reinsurance business] nor
EMCC [for assumed reinsurance business] plans to appeal, and/or the Company or
EMCC has obtained a release, and/or the Company or EMCC has accepted a proof of
loss.

5.
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.

B.
“Loss Adjustment Expense” means costs and expenses incurred or assumed by the
Company in connection with the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement,
litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim or loss, or alleged loss,

1.    "Cat Loss Occurrence(s)" shall mean any one accident, casualty, disaster,
or occurrence or series of accidents, casualties, disasters or occurrences

continues in force shall be a separate Contract Year. If this Contract is
terminated, however, the final Contract Year shall be from the beginning of the
then current Contract Year through the date of termination. In the event this
Contract expires or is terminated on a run-off basis, the run-off period shall
be considered part of the Contract Year ending on the date of expiration or
termination.
E    “Reinsurance Treaty(ies)” means any binder or contract of reinsurance
issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of
the Company, and any reinsurance business assumed by the Company through its
quota share agreement with EMCC.
 
ARTICLE 10

terminated on any January 1 by either party giving to the other party 90 days’

This Contract shall cover Extra Contractual Obligations, as provided in the
definition of Ultimate Net Loss. “Extra Contractual Obligations” shall be
defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this

hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the
following: failure by the Company or EMCC to settle within the policy limit, or
by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an

action against its insured or reinsured, or in the preparation or prosecution of

trial of any action against its insured or reinsured, or in the preparation or
prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

D.
For the purposes of the Loss in Excess of Policy Limits coverage hereunder, the
word “Loss” shall mean any amounts for which the Company or EMCC would have been
contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original

Loss Adjustment Expense in respect of Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss
in Excess of Policy Limits shall be covered hereunder in the same manner as
other Loss Adjustment Expense.

corporate officer of the Company or EMCC acting individually, 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.

to give the court jurisdiction, and (c) to abide by the final decision of the

obligation(s) and liability(ies) of the Company under any Reinsurance Treaties.

B.
Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and

A.
In the event of insolvency and the appointment of a 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

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 as

In the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the liquidator, receiver,

available to the Reinsurer or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory
successor.

D.
The original reinsured 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 reinsured or
policyholder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE 20
SAVINGS/SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Contract 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 Contract, nor the enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In no event shall coverage be
provided to the extent that such coverage is not permitted under Iowa law.
However, no provisions under this Article shall render any provisions of
paragraph B of the Exclusions Article inoperable.

ARTICLE 21
OFFSET
EMCC and EMC Re shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from
one party to the other under the terms of this Contract and the quota share
agreement described in Article 9 Section E of this Contract. The party asserting

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 law.

ARTICLE 22
GOVERNING LAW
This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and
interpretation by the laws of the State of Iowa, exclusive of conflict of law
rules. However, with respect to credit for reinsurance, the rules of all
applicable states shall apply.

ARTICLE 23
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Contract sets forth all of the duties and obligations between the Company
and the Reinsurer and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written
agreements with respect to matters referred to in this Contract. This Contract
may not be modified or changed except by an amendment to this Contract in
writing signed by both parties, and any modification or amendment to this
Contract must receive prior approval from the Iowa Insurance Division to be
effective. However, this Article shall not be construed as limiting the
admissibility of evidence regarding the formation, interpretation, purpose or
intent of this Contract.

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE 24
NON-WAIVER
The failure of the Company or the Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this
Contract or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of any
rights contained in this Contract nor prevent either party from thereafter
demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent either party from exercising
such remedy in the future.

ARTICLE 25
MODE OF EXECUTION
A.
This Contract may be executed by:

1.
an original written ink signature of paper documents;

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

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.
