| | 8. | The Insured agrees that it is the expectation of the Insured, Original Insurer
                    and the Insurer that claim handling will remain at the quality level as of the

                    borne by the Insured. Further, if for any reason the Insured decides that it

                    Insurers and Original Insurers approval, in writing, or if claim
                    handling does not remainat the quality level as of the inception date of
                    this Transaction throughoutthe duration of this Agreement, the Insurer
                    and Original Insurer have the right to confer and under mutual consent effect a
                    change of the third party administrator. The Insurer may only terminate this
                    transaction upon mutual consent of the Original Insurer and will then return any
                    premium to the Original Insurer as assignee of the Insured, and the Insurer will
                    be relieved of any of its obligations under this Transaction. Following such
                    intended termination by the Insurer, if the Insurer is in any way required by
                    law to continue reimbursing the Insured, the Insured agrees to indemnify Insurer
                    for any amounts Insurer pays following such intended termination.

| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 10. | It is agreed by both the Insured and the Insurer that: a) The Insurer is not
                    responsible for paying and/or fronting any amounts beyond the per occurrence
                    and/or aggregate limits of this Transaction, b) it is unanticipated that the
                    Insurer will be legally required to pay and/or front any amounts beyond the per

                    Insurer will have no legal or contractual obligation to pay and/or front any
                    amounts beyond the per occurrence or aggregate limits of this Transaction. The
                    Insured agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Insurer in the
                    unanticipated event that the Insurer is legally required to pay and/or front any
