If the Retrocessionaire is unauthorized or unaccredited as a reinsurer in any
state where the Company is domiciled or licensed, thereby preventing the Company
from obtaining full statutory financial statement credit for reinsurance

obtain full credit for such reinsurance. The Retrocessionaire shall take any
additional steps necessary to permit the Company to obtain full credit for
reinsurance, to the extent credit is not otherwise available under applicable
law.

                                Letters of Credit

In the event the Retrocessionaire establishes letter(s) of credit, the following
provisions shall apply:

The Company shall forward to the Retrocessionaire a statement of the

The Minimum Funding Requirement shall be calculated as follows: the sum of (i)
seventy-five percent (75%) of unearned premium required to be maintained by the
Company in respect of the Policies for state statutory accounting purposes
("Unearned Premium Reserve"), plus (ii) unpaid loss reserves including reserves

Company in respect of the Policies for state statutory accounting purposes, plus
(iii) any additional liabilities due and payable to the Company hereunder, less

Unearned Premium Reserve attributable to Service Agreements issued prior to
October 1, 2001, plus (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of Unearned Premium Reserve
attributable to Service Agreements issued on or after October 1, 2001.

Upon receipt of this statement, Retrocessionaire shall promptly apply for and

                                                                     (Continued)

                  the withdrawn assets with other assets of a type permitted
                  hereunder having a market value equal to the market value of
                  the assets withdrawn, so as to maintain the Trust Account in
                  the required amount, or
            (ii)  after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the
