	 	3.	The Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation or receivership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or there have been instituted against it proceedings for the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator, or trustee in bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations; 


 

	 	4.	For any period not exceeding 12 months, which commences no earlier than 12 months prior to the inception of this Contract, the Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (or total stamp capacity by managing
agent as respects Lloyd’s of London syndicates), as reported in the financial statements of the Reinsurer, has been reduced by 20%; 

  

	 	5.	The Reinsurer has become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company, corporation, or individual(s) not controlling the Reinsurer’s operations previously; 


 

	 	6.	The Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s Financial Strength Rating has been assigned or downgraded below “A-”; 

  

	 	7.	The Reinsurer’s Standard and Poor’s Financial Strength Rating has been assigned or downgraded below “A-” or, as respects Lloyd’s of London, the Standard and Poor’s Rating of the

service, the Company may invoke any one or a combination of the following: 

  

	 	1.	The Company may terminate or reduce the Reinsurer’s share hereunder effective as of the end of the 15-day notice period. In such event, the Company may elect that:

other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be made by drawing lots. All the actuaries selected shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society. The decision in
writing of the appointed actuary, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties. The expense of the actuary and of the actuarial calculation shall be equally divided between the two parties. Said actuarial
calculation shall take place in a location chosen by the Company. This commutation option is available to the Company at any time there remain any outstanding liabilities of the Reinsurer.

	Combined Property Cat and Aggregate Cat XOL	  	Page 6 of 27	  	12-4-15










	C.	Within 60 days after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder, computed in accordance with paragraph A. Any premium due the

 ARTICLE X 

REINSTATEMENT 
 This Article applies only to
Section A - Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance. 
  

	A.	As respects each excess layer hereunder, should all or any part of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability for the excess layer be exhausted as a result of a Loss Occurrence, the sum so exhausted shall be reinstated
from the date the Loss Occurrence commenced. 

  

	B.	For each amount so reinstated for the excess layer, the Company agrees to pay an additional premium at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of the loss settlement calculated in accordance with the following formula:


  

	 	1.	The percentage of the “Reinsurer’s Section A Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, exhausted for the Loss Occurrence. 


 

	 	2.	The reinsurance premium paid or payable for the excess layer for the term of this Contract multiplied by the “Reinstatement Premium Factor” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto.


 The dollar amount resulting from the multiplication of subparagraphs 1 and 2 above shall equal the reinstatement
premium for the excess layer. If at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of a loss settlement hereon, the reinsurance premium for the excess layer as calculated under this Contract is unknown, the calculation of the reinstatement premium
shall be based upon the deposit premium for the excess layer subject to adjustment when the reinsurance premium is finally established. 
  

	C.	Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed the “Reinsurer’s Section A Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, in
respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to the “Reinsurer’s Section A Limit, All Loss Occurrences” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, in respect to all Loss Occurrences
during the term of this Contract.

The Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours commences provided that it is not earlier than the date and

for those “Loss Occurrences” referred to in E.4. where one such period of 14 consecutive days shall apply with respect to one event, regardless of the duration of the event. 

However, as respects those Loss Occurrences referred to in subparagraphs E.1 and E.2 above, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned
by the event is of greater duration than 72 or 120 consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or more Loss Occurrences, provided no two periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than
one such period and provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss. 

It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of the same event shall be considered as having
arisen from one “Loss Occurrence.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations, as stated above, shall not be exceeded as respects the applicable perils and no single “Loss Occurrence” shall encompass a time period
greater than 168 consecutive hours; except as outlined in E.4. where a period of 14 consecutive days shall apply. 
  

	F.	Net Earned Premium 

 “Net Earned Premium” shall mean gross earned premium of the
Company for the business reinsured hereunder, less cancellations and return premiums, and less earned premiums ceded by the Company for other reinsurance as provided in the OTHER REINSURANCE ARTICLE.

	G.	Policy 

 “Policy” shall mean the Company’s binders, policies, endorsements and
contracts, providing insurance or reinsurance on the business covered under this Contract. 
  

	H.	Ultimate Net Loss 

 “Ultimate Net Loss” shall mean the amount of any settlement,
award, or judgment paid by the Company or for which the Company has become liable to pay, including 1) Loss Adjustment Expense, 2) any pre-judgment interest that is included as part of an award or judgment, and 3) 90% of Loss in
Excess of Policy Limits, 90% of Extra Contractual Obligations, after making deductions for all recoveries, salvages, and subrogations, which are actually recovered, and all claims on inuring reinsurance, whether collectible or not; provided,
however, that in the event of the insolvency of the Company, payment by the Reinsurer shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE. In the event a verdict or judgment is reduced by appeal or a settlement, subsequent
to the entry of the judgment, however, resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or a judgment is reversed outright, the loss expense incurred in securing such final reduction or reversal will be prorated between the Reinsurers
and the Company in the proportion that each benefits from such reduction or reversal. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained.

 ARTICLE XII 
 NET
RETAINED LINES 
  

	A.	This Contract applies only to that portion of any Policy that the Company retains net for its own account (prior to deduction of any underlying reinsurance) and, in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also
in computing the amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of that portion of any Policy that the Company retains net for its own account shall be included. 


 

	B.	The amount of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurers, whether specific or general,
any amounts that may have become due from such reinsurers, whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurers or otherwise. 


ARTICLE XIII 
 LIABILITY OF
THE REINSURER 
 All reinsurances for which the Reinsurer shall be liable by virtue of this Contract shall be subject in all respects to the same
terms, conditions, interpretations, and waivers and to the same modifications, alterations, and cancellations, as the respective Policies to which such reinsurances relate, the true intent of the parties to this Contract being that the Reinsurer
shall follow the fortunes of the Company.

 ARTICLE XIV 

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS 
 This Contract is solely
between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any other party have any rights under this Contract except as expressly provided otherwise in the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE. 

ARTICLE XV 
 NOTICE OF LOSS
AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS 
  

	A.	The Company shall advise the Reinsurer of all claims or losses that, in the opinion of the Company, may result in a claim hereunder. Furthermore, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer of all subsequent
developments to any claims and losses that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the Reinsurer, such advices to include any loss for which the amount incurred is 50% or more of the Company’s retention, but
inadvertent omission in dispatching any notices shall in no way affect the obligations of the Reinsurer under this Contract, provided the Company informs the Reinsurer of such omission promptly upon discovery. 


 

	B.	All loss settlements made by the Company that are within the terms and conditions of this Contract shall be binding upon the Reinsurer. Upon receipt of evidence of the amount paid or to be paid, the Reinsurer
agrees to pay within five days of its receipt of such evidence or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such amount. 


ARTICLE XVI 
 OFFSET

 The Company and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this
Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise; however, in the event of the insolvency of any party hereto, offset shall be in
accordance with applicable law. 
 ARTICLE XVII 

CURRENCY 
  

	A.	Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars and all transactions under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars.

 ARTICLE XVIII 

TERRORISM EXCESS RECOVERY 
  

	A.	Any financial assistance the Company receives under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, and any other replacements, extensions or amendments thereto (the “Act”) shall apply as follows: 


 

	 	1.	Except as provided in subparagraph 2 below, any such financial assistance shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and shall be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions of this Contract.


  

	 	2.	If losses occurring hereunder result in recoveries made by the Company both under this Contract and under the Act, and such recoveries, together with any other reinsurance recoveries made by the Company applicable to
said losses, exceed the total amount of the Company’s insured losses, any amount in excess thereof shall reduce the Ultimate Net Loss subject to this Contract for the losses to which the Act’s financial assistance applies. These
recoveries shall be returned in proportion to each Reinsurer’s paid share of the loss. 

  

	B.	Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the losses under this Contract are not recoverable from the Reinsurer until the Company has received financial assistance under the Act. 


ARTICLE XIX 
 RESERVES AND
FUNDING 
 (This Article shall not apply to a Reinsurer who has satisfied its funding obligations to a trust fund; however, in the instances where
such funding requirements are reduced below 100%, then the provisions of this Article shall apply to such Reinsurers and funding shall be required for the difference between 100% of the “Reinsurer’s Obligations”, as defined in this
Article, and the percentage of such Reinsurer’s Obligations funded to the respective trust fund.) 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer shall provide funding under the terms of this Article only if the Company will be denied statutory credit for reinsurance ceded to that Reinsurer pursuant to the credit for reinsurance law or regulations
of the regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. 

  

	B.	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that, when it files with the insurance regulatory authority or sets up on its books reserves for liabilities which
it is required by law to set up, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a report showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer shall fund 100% of its portion of such reserves in respect of:


  

	 	1.	Loss and loss expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer; 


  

					
	Illinois Casualty Company	  		  	
	11398N16 (Eff: 1-1-16)	  		  	
	Combined Property Cat and Aggregate Cat XOL	  	Page 13 of 27	  	12-4-15










	 	2.	Known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and loss expense relating thereto; 

  

	 	3.	Reserves for loss and loss expense incurred but not reported; 

  

	 	4.	Unearned premium (if applicable); 

  

	 	5.	Other amounts recoverable reported in Schedule F of the Company’s NAIC Statement; 

 as
shown in the report prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurer’s Obligations”). The Reinsurer’s Obligations shall be funded by funds withheld, cash advances, escrow accounts for the benefit of the
Company, Letters of Credit (“LOC”), Trust Account, or a combination thereof. The Reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding, subject always to the provision that (a) the method of funding and
(b) the terms and provisions of any such LOC or Trust Account and (c) the quality of assets in any Trust Account are all acceptable to the Company and also meet the requirements of each applicable insurance regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. In the event a provision of any such funding instrument jeopardizes the Company’s ability to obtain full credit for reinsurance, such provision shall be void and shall be amended to comply
with applicable credit for reinsurance requirements. The Reinsurer shall provide funding and/or any adjustments thereto in time for the Company to meet the requirements of each applicable insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
the Company’s reserves, provided that the Company sends the report of Reinsurer’s Obligations at least 15 days prior to the date such funding is required. 
  

	C.	When funding in whole or in part by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC dated on or before December 31 of the year in
which the request is made (on or before the last day of the calendar quarter for any quarterly adjustment), issued by a member of the Federal Reserve System or any bank approved for use by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office, and containing
provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. Such LOC shall be issued for a period of not less than one year and shall include an “evergreen clause,” which
automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless 60 days (or such other time period as may be required by the applicable insurance regulatory authorities) prior to any expiration date the issuing bank
notifies the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the LOC extended for any additional period. If the issuing bank of the LOC is put under negative credit watch by a major rating agency or is
removed from the list of banks approved by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office, the Company may require that a replacement LOC be issued by a bank acceptable to the Company, by providing the Reinsurer with written notice requesting such replacement
LOC. If the Reinsurer fails to provide acceptable replacement security within 10 business days following receipt of the Company’s notice, the Company may draw upon the existing LOC in amounts equal to the Reinsurer’s Obligations.

	D.	The Reinsurer and Company agree that any funding provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and be utilized
by the Company or any successor, by operation of law, of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator of the Company for the following purposes: 


 

	 	1.	To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of unearned premium on Policies reinsured hereunder on account of cancellations of such Policies; 


 

	 	2.	To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and which has not been otherwise paid; 


 

	 	3.	To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract (or in excess of 102% of Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a
Trust Account); 

  

	 	4.	To fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations if such LOC is under notice of non-renewal or not replaced by the Reinsurer within 10 days prior to its expiration. Such cash deposit shall
be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer; 


 

	 	5.	To pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract. 


In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any funding provided by the Reinsurer is in excess of the actual amount required for
subparagraph 1, 2, or 4 or, in the case of subparagraph 5, the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution
because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the Reinsurer. 
  

	E.	Deferral of funding that may be permitted for a certified reinsurer in the event of a catastrophe shall not apply to any Reinsurer under this Contract. 


 

	F.	The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon
the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company. 

  

	G.	At annual intervals, or more frequently but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific report of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method
of funding, in the following manner: 

  

	 	1.	If the report shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the available balance of the funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or Trust Account as of the report date, the
Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, make an adjustment to increase the available balance of funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or LOC and/or Trust Account by the amount of such excess.

	Combined Property Cat and Aggregate Cat XOL	  	Page 15 of 27	  	12-4-15










	 	2.	If, however, the report shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the available balance of the funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or 102% of the balance of the
Trust Account if funding is provided by Trust Account, as of the report date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess funding by making or allowing an adjustment to the funds
withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or Trust Account. 

  

	H.	Should the Reinsurer be in breach of its obligations under this Article, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Contract, the Company may seek relief in respect of said breach from any court having
competent jurisdiction over the parties hereto. 

 ARTICLE XX 

TAXES 
 The Company shall pay applicable taxes
(except Federal Excise Tax, if any) on premiums reported to the Reinsurer under this Contract. 
 ARTICLE XXI 

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer has agreed to allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of paying Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject
to such tax. Should the Reinsurer claim exempt status from Federal Excise Tax, it shall provide to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the rules as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code and any
other applicable U.S. government authority. 

  

	B.	In the event of any return premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover such tax from the United
States Government. 

  

	C.	As respects premiums ceded to the Reinsurer under this Contract, the Reinsurer agrees to indemnify the Company for any liability, expense, interest, or penalty it may incur by reason of the Reinsurer’s breach of
this Article.

 ARTICLE XXII 

FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (“FATCA”) 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges the requirements of Sections 1471-1474 U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued from time to time thereunder
(“FATCA”) and the obligation to provide to the Company and the intermediary named in the INTERMEDIARY ARTICLE (hereinafter referred to as the “Intermediary”) a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W8-BEN-E, W-9 or other documentation meeting the requirements of the FATCA regulations to establish the Reinsurer is not
subject to any withholding requirement pursuant to FATCA (the “Required Documentation”). 

  

	B.	The Reinsurer shall notify the Company and Intermediary in writing (by electronic mail, certified mail or overnight mail using a nationally recognized overnight delivery service) in the event the Reinsurer is not
compliant with FATCA. If the Reinsurer has not provided the Company and Intermediary with the Required Documentation thirty (30) days prior to any premium due date, or becomes non-compliant with FATCA at any later date, the Withholding Agent [as
defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-1(b)(147)] shall withhold thirty percent (30%) of any premium payment to the Reinsurer under this Contract and shall promptly notify the Reinsurer of
such withholding (“Withholding”). The Reinsurer hereby agrees to such Withholding. 

  

	C.	In the event the Reinsurer is subject to Withholding as set forth under FATCA, the Reinsurer continues to remain fully liable for all of its obligations under this Contract. The Withholding under paragraph B
above does not constitute a breach of contract, any premium payment condition, warranty or other clause of this Contract. Reinsurer(s) subject to Withholding may not terminate, cancel, revoke or restrict this Contract, may not terminate,
cancel, revoke or restrict coverage under this Contract in any manner and may not deny, refuse, restrict or delay payment of any claim under this Contract or invoke any interest, penalty or other late payment provision hereunder, based on the
Withholding. The Reinsurer subject to Withholding shall be liable under this Contract as if no Withholding had been made. 

  

	D.	Amounts deducted or withheld as Withholding are not subject to offset. Offset rights, if any, under this Contract are hereby amended in accordance with the terms of this Article. 


 

	E.	The Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company and its agents for any and all liability, expense, interest or penalty the Company and its agents incur, based upon, arising from or in connection with (i) any inaccurate
or invalid Required Documentation; or (ii) any violation by the Reinsurer of FATCA. Such indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Contract. 


ARTICLE XXIII 
 ACCESS TO
RECORDS 
  

	A.	 The Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) approved by the Company, upon providing reasonable advance
notice to the Company, shall have access at the offices of the Company or at a location to be mutually agreed, at a time to be mutually agreed, to inspect the Company’s underwriting, accounting, or claim files pertaining to the subject matter
of this Contract. The Company shall determine the manner in which files shall be accessed by the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer may, at its own expense, reasonably request copies of such files and agrees to pay the Company’s reasonable
costs (including staff expense and other overhead costs) incurred in procuring such copies.

	B.	The Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) shall not have access to Protected Records related to a claim ceded to this Contract; however, the Reinsurer shall be permitted to have access to those Protected Records
described in subparagraph F.2 of this Article after the Company’s final settlement or final adjudication of such underlying claim. If Protected Records are withheld, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer accordingly and the Company
shall take reasonable steps to provide the Reinsurer with sufficient information to determine its liability hereunder. Further, the Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) shall not have access to any communications with any other
reinsurer supporting the Company in respect of business subject to this Contract and shall not have access to Protected Records relating to any dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer. 


 

	C.	If any undisputed amounts are overdue from the Reinsurer to the Company, the Reinsurer shall have access to such records only upon payment of all such overdue amounts. 


 

	D.	Upon completion of the audit, the Reinsurer and its representative(s) shall consult with the Company promptly and in good faith, no later than 30 days after the completion of the audit unless otherwise agreed, with
respect to any and all questions or issues raised by the audit. If, as a result of the Reinsurer’s inspection of the Company’s files, any claim is denied, contested, or disputed, the Reinsurer shall promptly provide the Company with a
summary of any reports or analysis completed by the Reinsurer’s personnel or by any third party on behalf of the Reinsurer outlining the findings of the inspection and identifying the reasons for contesting or disputing the subject claim.


  

	E.	Nothing in this Article requires the Company to maintain or to make available any document for longer than the period required by the Company’s document retention policies and procedures or the period required by
applicable statute or regulation, whichever is greater. 

  

	F.	“Protected Records” are defined as communications, files, records, documents, or books: 

  

	 	1.	Deemed by the Company to concern Trade Secrets of the Company (Trade Secrets shall have the meaning provided in Section 1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996); or 


 

	 	2.	Deemed by the Company to be subject to attorney-client privilege or work product rule protection; or 

  

	 	3.	Concerning individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed by the Company.

this Contract, inspection pursuant to the ACCESS TO RECORDS ARTICLE, or any other information relating to this Contract, (“Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential to the Company. 


 

	B.	Absent the written consent of the Company, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties, including any affiliated companies, except when:

	 	2.	The Confidential Information is publicly known or has become publicly known through no unauthorized act of the Reinsurer; or 

  

	 	3.	Required by retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this Contract; or 

  

	 	4.	Required by regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records and/or financial condition; or 

  

	 	5.	Required by auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records in the normal course of business; or

Contract. 

  

	D.	Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Reinsurer is required by court order, other legal process, or any regulatory authority to release or disclose any Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to
provide the Company written notice of same prior to such release or disclosure and to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

 ARTICLE XXV 

INDEMNIFICATION AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer is reinsuring, subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, the obligations of the Company under any Policy. The Company shall be the sole judge as to: 


 

	 	1.	what shall constitute a claim or loss covered under any Policy; 

  

	 	2.	the Company’s liability thereunder; 

  

	 	3.	the amount or amounts that it shall be proper for the Company to pay thereunder. 

  

	B.	The Reinsurer shall be bound by the judgment of the Company as to the obligation(s) and liability(ies) of the Company under any Policy. 


 

	C.	Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and conditions of this Contract shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such error,
omission or delay had not been made, provided such error, omission or delay is rectified immediately upon discovery. 


ARTICLE XXVI 
 INSOLVENCY

  

	A.	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, with reasonable provision for verification,
on the basis of the liability of the Company without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It
is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company, indicating the Policy reinsured which claim would
involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer, within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may
investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory
successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the Court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit
that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. 

  

	B.	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Contract as though
such expense had been incurred by the Company.

	C.	It is further agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or
statutory successor, except 1) where this Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company or 2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payee under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. 


 

	D.	In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies listed in the designation of “Company” under this Contract, this Article shall apply only to the insolvent company or companies. 


 

	E.	In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies covered hereunder, the laws of the applicable domiciliary state(s) shall apply. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the
laws of the domiciliary state of any company or companies covered hereunder, that domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail. 


ARTICLE XXVII 
 ARBITRATION

  

	A.	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any irreconcilable dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance, or breach of this Contract, including the formation or validity thereof, whether
arising before or after the expiry or termination of the Contract, shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration shall be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or such
reputable courier service as is capable of returning proof of receipt of such notice by the recipient to the party demanding arbitration. 

  

	B.	One arbitrator shall be appointed by each party. If the responding party fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after its receipt of the claimant party’s notice requesting arbitration, the claimant
party, after 10 days’ notice by certified mail or reputable courier as provided above of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator. 

  

	C.	The two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, appoint an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. Should the two arbitrators fail to choose the third arbitrator within 30 days
of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the parties shall appoint the third arbitrator pursuant to the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society – U.S. (ARIAS) Umpire Selection Procedure. All arbitrators shall be
disinterested active or former senior executives of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. In the event of the resignation or death of any arbitrator, a replacement shall be appointed in the same manner as

	D.	Within 30 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings. The panel shall be relieved of all
judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Rock Island, Illinois, but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in
the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall consider the law of the State of Illinois. The decision of any two arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and
binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate. 

  

	E.	The panel shall make its decision as promptly as possible following the termination of the hearings, considering the terms and conditions expressed in this Contract and the custom and practice of the applicable
insurance and reinsurance business. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  

	F.	Arbitration proceedings are subject to consolidation as follows: 

  

	 	1.	Single contract, multiple reinsurers, common issue: If more than one Reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent
results, all such Reinsurers, at the Company’s request, shall be joined in a single arbitration proceeding and shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the
Reinsurers constituting the one party; provided, however, that nothing therein shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Reinsurers under the
terms of this Contract from several to joint. 

  

	 	2.	Single reinsurer, multiple contracts, common issue: If any Reinsurer to this Contract has subscribed to other reinsurance contracts with the Company, under which a dispute has arisen where there are common
questions of law or fact with the dispute being arbitrated under this Contract and a possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, the Reinsurer, at the Company’s request, shall arbitrate all such reinsurance disputes involving the
same loss or common questions of law or fact in one consolidated proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Article. 

  

	 	3.	Single reinsurer, multiple contracts: If any Reinsurer to this Contract has subscribed to other reinsurance contracts with the Company and various disputes have arisen under such contracts, regardless of whether or
not there are common questions of law or fact, if mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, the parties shall arbitrate all reinsurance disputes in one consolidated proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Article. 


The agreement to consolidate disputes under this Contract and one or more other reinsurance contracts will supersede all other reinsurance
contracts entered into between the Company and the Reinsurer, regardless of whether any other reinsurance contract may require or address consolidation.

	G.	Each party shall bear the expense of the arbitrator selected by or for it and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be
allocated by the panel. The panel may, at its discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys fees, to the extent permitted by law. 


ARTICLE XXVIII 
 SERVICE OF
SUIT 
 (This Article is applicable if the Reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of America and/or is not authorized in any State,
Territory, or District of the United States where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities. This Article is not intended to conflict with or override the obligation of the parties to arbitrate their disputes in accordance
with the ARBITRATION ARTICLE.) 
  

	A.	In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to perform its obligations under this Contract, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the
United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United
States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one
originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted
against it upon this Contract, and shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal. The validity and/or enforceability of any arbitration award or judgment obtained in the United States shall
not be contested by the Reinsurer in any jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

  

	B.	Service of process in such suit may be made upon the law firm of Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019, or another party specifically designated by the Reinsurer in its Interests and Liabilities
Agreement attached hereto. 

  

	C.	Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his/her successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceedings instituted by or on behalf of the
Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract, and hereby designates the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

	D.	The individual named in Paragraph C shall be deemed the Reinsurer’s agent for the service of process: 

  

	 	1.	where the address designated in, or pursuant to paragraph B is invalid; or 

  

	 	2.	to the extent necessary to bring this Contract into conformity with the applicable law of a state with jurisdiction over the Company.

the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the business being reinsured hereunder and no understandings exist between the parties other than those expressed in this Contract. Any change or modification to this Contract shall be
null and void unless made by amendment to this Contract and signed by both parties. This Article shall not be construed as limiting in any way the admissibility, in the context of an arbitration or any other legal proceeding, of evidence

 ARTICLE XXXI 

SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION 
  

	A.	The Company, at its sole discretion, may enforce its right to salvage and/or subrogation and may prosecute all claims arising out of such right. 


 

	B.	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation shall be used to reimburse the Company’s excess reinsurers, including the Reinsurer hereon (and the Company, should it carry a portion of excess coverage net) in
the reverse order of their participation in the loss before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. The expense incurred by the Company in pursuing any such recovery shall be borne by each party in proportion to its
benefit (if any) from the recovery. If the recovery expense exceeds the amount recovered, the amount recovered (if any) shall be applied to the reimbursement of recovery expense incurred by the Company and the remaining expense shall be
included in Ultimate Net Loss.

payment is due may, by notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month as
follows: 

  

	 	1.	The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly calculation, whichever the lesser; times 

  

	 	2.	1/365ths of a rate equal to the U.S. Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day following the date a remittance becomes due plus 300 basis points; times

	B.	The establishment of the payment due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be as follows: 

  

	 	1.	As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable Article of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a
given payment, it shall be deemed due 14 days after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment. 

  

	 	2.	Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 14 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer by the Intermediary. If such loss or claim payment
is not received within the 14 days, interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph A above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer. 


 

	 	3.	As respects any payment, adjustment or return due the Company not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable Article of this Contract. In the
event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 14 days following transmittal by the Intermediary of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked. 


For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the Intermediary. 

 

	C.	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration, or any other proceeding, there shall be no interest penalty
due. Otherwise, any interest shall be calculated and due as outlined above. Furthermore, if a debtor party advances payment of any amount hereunder that it is contesting and prevails in such action, the other party shall reimburse the
debtor party for any such payment plus pay interest on same, at a rate calculated as per the provisions of paragraph A, above; however, such calculation is to begin from the actual date of remittance of funds from the debtor party through the
date the funds are returned. 

  

	D.	If the interest rate provided under this Article exceeds the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law, such interest rate shall be modified to the highest rate permitted by the applicable law. 


ARTICLE XXXV
