the exceptions, exclusions and limitations hereinafter set forth.




B. This AGREEMENT is comprised of general articles and may also contain exhibits
initially or subsequently made a part of this AGREEMENT. The terms of the general
articles and of the exhibits shall determine the rights and obligations of the
parties. The terms of the general articles shall apply to each exhibit unless

	Article 2	 	Parties to the AGREEMENT






A. This AGREEMENT is solely between the COMPANY and the REINSURER. Performance of

to this AGREEMENT. All payments made to the agent shall be deemed to be paid to the

receiver or statutory successor of the COMPANY in accordance with the provisions of
the Article entitled “Insolvency.”“

case of an employee contracting any disease for which the COMPANY is held liable
shall be considered as constituting a separate and distinct occurrence. The date of
such occurrence shall be deemed to be the following:






	 	1.	 	If the case is cornpensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law, the date
of the beginning of the disability for which compensation is payable.

	 	H.	 	Direct Subject Casualty Premium Earned






	 	 	 	This term shall mean the COMPANY’s direct subject casualty premium unearned at the

the REINSURER by the COMPANY for special acceptance and, if accepted by the
REINSURER, shall be subject to all of the terms of this AGREEMENT except as modified
by the special acceptance.





Article 12 Self-Insured Obligations





A. As respects all business the subject matter hereof, where the coverage has been
agreed upon between the COMPANY and the REINSURER in writing, this AGREEMENT shall
cover self-insured obligations of the COMPANY assumed by it as a self-insurer
including self-insured obligations in excess of any valid and collectible insurance
available to the COMPANY to the same extent as if all types of insurance covered by
this AGREEMENT were afforded under the broadest forms of policies issued by the
COMPANY, provided such self-insured obligations are within the scope of underwriting
criteria furnished by the COMPANY to the REINSURER.




B. For the purpose of this AGREEMENT, “self-insured obligations” are defined as
insurable exposures of the COMPANY on which the COMPANY has issued an actual policy
subject to the provisions stipulated in the first Paragraph of this article, and
subject to all of the stipulations of this AGREEMENT.



Page 17









 





Treaty No. 63-2422-1/2/3/4/5


C. An insurance wherein the COMPANY
and/or its affiliated and/or subsidiary
companies are named as the insured party, either alone or jointly with some other
party, shall be deemed to be an insurance coming within the scope of this article,
notwithstanding that no legal liability may arise in respect thereof by reason of
the fact that the COMPANY and/or its affiliated and/or subsidiary companies are
named as the insured party or one of the insured parties.



Article 13 Other Reinsurance





	 	 	 	The COMPANY may purchase facultative excess of loss reinsurance or facultative share
reinsurance on the liability of the REINSURER, if, in the underwriting judgment of
the COMPANY, the REINSURER will be benefitted thereby. In no event, however, shall
the amount required with respect to the COMPANY’s retention be reduced nor the
amounts stipulated in the Article entitled “COMPANY Policy Limits” be increased.





Article 14 Recoveries





A. The COMPANY shall pay to or credit the REINSURER with the REINSURER’s portion of
any net recovery obtained from salvage; subrogation; other insurance; appeal taken
by the COMPANY reducing or reversing a verdict, award or judgment; or other
recovery.




B. The REINSURER shall be subrogated to the rights of the COMPANY to the extent of
its loss payments to the COMPANY. The COMPANY agrees to enforce its rights of
salvage, subrogation and its rights against insurers or to assign these rights to
the REINSURER. Loss adjustment expenses associated with obtaining all recoveries
shall be deducted from the amount recovered to determine the net recovery.




C. Net recoveries under this AGREEMENT shall be distributed to the parties in an
order inverse to that in which their liabilities accrued under the original ultimate
net loss.



Article 15 Territory





	 	 	 	This AGREEMENT applies to policies issued by the COMPANY within the United States of
America, its territories and possessions.





Article 16 Excess of Original Policy Limits





A. This AGREEMENT shall protect the COMPANY for 100% of the amount of loss in excess
of the original policy limit where the ultimate net



Page 18









 





Treaty No. 63-2422-1/2/3/4/5


loss includes loss in excess of the limit
of its original policy. The liability of
the REINSURER with respect to the entire amount of ultimate net loss, including the
loss in excess of the limit of its original policy, shall not exceed the limit of
liability of the REINSURER as set forth in the Article entitled “Liability of the
REINSURER,” such loss in excess of the limit having been incurred because of failure
by it to settle within the policy limit or by reason of alleged or actual negligence
or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the
defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or in the preparation or
prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action. Such 100% loss amount in
excess of the original policy limit shall be included in the ultimate net loss in
order to determine the appropriate reinsurance under this AGREEMENT.




B. However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to the
fraud of a member of the Board of Directors, a corporate officer of the COMPANY, or
any other employee 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.




C. Recoveries from any form of insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not,
which protects the COMPANY against claims which are the subject matter of this
Article shall inure to the benefit of the REINSURER and shall be deducted to arrive
at the amount of the COMPANY’s ultimate net loss. Any deductibles from such
insurance or reinsurance shall also be deducted to arrive at the amount of the
COMPANY’s ultimate net loss and shall therefore be retained by the COMPANY.




D. For the purposes of this article, the word “loss” shall mean any amounts for
which the COMPANY would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for
the limit of the original policy. Also for the purposes of this article, the date
of occurrence shall always be the same as the date of occurrence under the original
policy limit.



Article 17 Extra Contractual Obligations





A. This AGREEMENT shall protect the COMPANY for 100% of any extra contractual
obligations, where the ultimate net loss includes any extra contractual obligations.
The liability of the REINSURER with respect to the entire amount of ultimate net
loss, including the extra contractual obligation, shall not exceed the limit of
liability of the REINSURER as set forth in the Article entitled “Liability of the
REINSURER.” The term “extra



Page 19









 





Treaty No. 63-2422-1/2/3/4/5


contractual obligations” is defined as
those liabilities not covered under any other
provisions of the AGREEMENT and which arise from the handling of any claim on the
policies reinsured hereunder, such liabilities including but not limited to
compensatory, exemplary and punitive damages or fines or statutory penalties which
are awarded against the COMPANY as a result of an act, error, omission, or course of
conduct committed by or on behalf of the COMPANY arising because of, but not limited
to the following: failure by the COMPANY to settle within the policy limit or by
reason of alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in rejecting an offer of
settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action
against its insured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent
upon such action. Such 100% extra contractual loss amount shall be included in the
ultimate net loss in order to determine the appropriate reinsurance recoveries under
this AGREEMENT.




B. The date on which an extra contractual obligation is incurred by the COMPANY
shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original loss
occurrence.




C. However, this article shall not apply where the extra contractual obligation has
been incurred due to the fraud of a member of the Board of Directors, a corporate
officer of the COMPANY, or any other employee 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.




D. Recoveries from any form of insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not,
which protects the COMPANY against claims which are the subject matter of this
article shall inure to the benefit of the REINSURER and shall be deducted to arrive
at the amount of the COMPANY’s ultimate net loss. Any deductibles from such
insurance or reinsurance shall also be deducted to arrive at the amount of the
COMPANY’s ultimate net loss and shall therefore be retained by the COMPANY.

Treaty No. 63-2422-1/2/3/4/5


Article 22 Errors and Omissions

this AGREEMENT shall not relieve either party from liability that would have

AGREEMENT shall be submitted to a board of arbitration consisting of three
arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be chosen by the REINSURER, and one shall be
chosen by the COMPANY. The third arbitrator shall be chosen by the other two
arbitrators within ten (10) days after they have been appointed. If the two

Page 24

reinsured, without diminution because of such insolvency, directly to the COMPANY or
its receiver, liquidator, or statutory successor.


B. The reinsurance hereunder shall be payable as provided above, except as provided
by Section 4118(a)(1 )(A) of the New York Insurance Laws or except (1) where this
AGREEMENT specifies another payee in the event of the insolvency of the COMPANY, and
(2) the REINSURER, with the consent of the direct insureds, and, as respects New

Department, has assumed such policy obligations of the COMPANY as its direct
obligations to the payees under such policies in substitution for the obligations of

conservator or other 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. The REINSURER shall have the right to investigate each 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 other 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.

duplicate by their duly authorized officers.

AGREEMENT NO. 63-2422-1


Section I Retention and Limit


     The REINSURER shall pay to the COMPANY the amount of ultimate net loss sustained by the

of liability shall not exceed $150,000 each occurrence.


Section II Premium


     A. For each annual period that this AGREEMENT remains in effect, the COMPANY shall pay to the

estimated annual Direct Subject Casualty Earned Premium for the business covered hereunder.
However, with respect to the firs] quarter account only (i.e., covering the period January 1, 1996
through March 31, 1996), the COMPANY shall calculate a provisional premium based upon a provisional
rate of 21.67% gross (13% net) applied to the incoming portfolio of unearned premium as of
January 1, 1996 plus the Direct Subject Casualty Written Premium for the specified first quarter.
The REINSURER shall allow the COMPANY a flat commission of 40% on the above-stated incoming
portfolio and the first quarter premium only. The provisional premium for the period April 1, 1996
through December 31, 1996 shall be payable in arrears, as set forth in the “Reports and
Remittances” Article of this AGREEMENT, in three installments of $130,000 due at the end of each

each June 30 thereafter.



     C. For each annual interim rate adjustment during the initial thirty-six month or subsequent
three-year rating period, the adjusted rate will be determined by multiplying the REINSURER’s
losses incurred to date for this applicable three-year period by 100/90ths, plus incurred But Not

dividing the resulting amount by the

of a loss by agreement of the Company, involving a lump sum payment or agreed periodic
payments, either of which encompass, at least in part, amounts to be paid in settlement
of future liabilities, no recovery under this Agreement shall be available unless the
Company shall have first satisfied all required notice of loss stipulated herein and
