    3.  Losses incurred for the Underwriting Period shall mean the loss and
        allocated  loss  expense paid by the  Reinsurer  (less  salvages and
        recoveries received) on losses ascribed to the Underwriting Period, plus
        loss and allocated loss expense reserves outstanding on losses ascribed
        to the Underwriting Period, and plus or minus any debit or credit
        carryforward as provided in this Article.

    4.  The adjusted ceding commission shall be calculated for the Underwriting
        Period for the Company as a whole.

B.  1.  Should the ratio of losses incurred to premium earned be 76.5% or
        higher, then the adjusted ceding commission shall be 21.0%.

    2.  Should the ratio of losses incurred to premium  earned be less than
        76.5%, then the  adjusted commission shall be further adjusted by
        adding one percent (1%) to the ceding commission for each one percent
        reduction of loss ratio subject to a maximum ceding commission of 28.0%
        at a loss  ratio of 69.5% or less.

                                                                         Page 6

The Reinsurer  shall bear its  proportionate  share of expenses  incurred by the
Company in the  investigation,  adjustment,  appraisal  or defense of all claims
under  Policies  reinsured  hereunder  (including   claim-specific   declaratory
judgment expenses but excluding office expenses and salaries of officials of the
Company) and shall  receive its  proportionate  share of any  recoveries of such
expenses.

The  phrase  "claim-specific  declaratory  judgment  expenses,"  as used in this
Agreement  will mean all  expenses  incurred by the Company in  connection  with
declaratory  judgment actions brought to determine the Company's  defense and/or
indemnification  obligations that are allocable to specific  policies and claims
subject to this Agreement.  Declaratory  judgment expense will be deemed to have
been  incurred by the Company on the date of the  original  loss (if any) giving
rise to the declaratory judgment action.


                                                                         Page 8

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE 18

EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS

In the event the loss  includes  an  amount  in excess of the  Company's  Policy
limit,  100% of such  amount in excess of the  Company's  Policy  limit shall be
added to the amount of the Company's  Policy limit, and the sum thereof shall be

the fraud of a member of the Board of  Directors  or a corporate  officer 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.

For the  purpose 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.


                                   ARTICLE 19

EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

This Agreement shall protect the Company,  subject to the  Reinsurer's  limit of
liability appearing in the COVER ARTICLE and MAXIMUM LIMITS OF LIABILITY ARTICLE
of this Agreement, where the loss includes any Extra Contractual Obligations for
100% of such Extra Contractual Obligations.  "Extra Contractual Obligations" are
defined as those  liabilities  not  covered  under any other  provision  of this
Agreement  and  which  arise  from  handling  of any claim on  business  covered
hereunder,  such  liabilities  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, fraud 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.

The date on which any Extra  Contractual  Obligation  is incurred by the Company
shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original loss.

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

DELAY, OMISSION OR ERROR

Any  inadvertent  delay,  omission or error shall not be held to relieve  either
party  hereto from any  liability  which would  attach to it  hereunder  if such
delay,  omission or error had not been made,  providing such delay,  omission or
error is rectified upon discovery.

                                                                         Page 9
