to
REINSURANCE POOLING AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED
as of JANUARY 1, 2011

This Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Reinsurance Pooling
Agreement Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2011 (the “A&R Pooling
Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment to the A&R
Pooling Agreement (the A&R Pooling Agreement and the First Amendment and Second
Amendment are collectively referred to as the “2011 Pooling Agreement”) is made
by and among State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company (“State Auto Mutual”),
State Auto Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“State Auto P&C”), Milbank
Insurance Company (“Milbank”), State Auto Insurance Company of Wisconsin (“SA
WI”), State Auto Insurance Company of Ohio (“SA OH”), Meridian Security
Insurance Company (“Meridian Security”), Patrons Mutual Insurance Company of

Company (“PIC”), American Compensation Insurance Company (“ACIC”), and

Companies”). This Third Amendment shall be effective and operative as of 12:01

Background Information
Meridian Citizens Mutual Insurance Company (“Meridian Citizens”) is being merged
with and into State Auto Mutual, with State Auto Mutual being the surviving
entity. As a result of the merger, Meridian Citizens will cease to exist and
will no longer be a party to the 2011 Pooling Agreement. Accordingly, with this
Third Amendment, the parties hereto intend to amend the 2011 Pooling Agreement
as necessary to remove all references to Meridian Citizens as a party to the
2011 Pooling Agreement. Furthermore, this Third Amendment will reflect that
State Auto Mutual’s “Respective Percentage” under the 2011 Pooling Agreement has
been increased to 34.5% from 34.0% as a result of the merger of Meridian
Citizens with and into State Auto Mutual.

LEGALLY BOUND HEREBY, the parties to this Third Amendment agree to amend the
2011 Pooling Agreement as follows:
1.
Capitalized terms used in this Third Amendment (including the Background
Information) which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed such terms in the 2011 Pooling Agreement.

2.
Effective 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2014, Meridian Citizens will be removed as a
party to the 2011 Pooling Agreement, and each provision of the 2011 Pooling
Agreement will be deemed amended or deleted as necessary to remove any and all
references to Meridian Citizens as of 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2014.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Third Amendment shall only become operative
if it has been approved, or deemed approved, by all insurance regulators whose
approval is necessary to implement the terms of this Third Amendment with
respect to Meridian Citizens. If not approved as described in this section, this
Third Amendment shall be deemed null and void and shall not become operative to
amend the 2011 Pooling Agreement in any manner whatsoever.
