                  c.       Endangers life other than that of the person
                           committing the action; or

                  d.       Creates a risk to health or safety of the public or a
                           section of the public; or

                  This Contract also excludes loss, damage, cost or expense
                  directly or indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting
                  from, or arising out of or in connection with any action in
                  controlling, preventing, suppressing, retaliating against or
                  responding to any act of terrorism.

                  Notwithstanding the above and subject otherwise to the terms,
                  conditions and limitations of this Contract, in respect only
                  of Personal Lines, this Contract will pay actual loss or
                  damage (but not related cost or expense) caused by any act of
                  terrorism, provided such act is not directly or indirectly
                  caused by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising out
                  of or in connection with biological, chemical or nuclear
                  pollution or contamination.

         11.      Loss or liability in any way or to any extent arising out of
                  the actual or alleged presence or actual, alleged or
                  threatened presence of fungi including, but not limited to,
                  mold, mildew, mycotoxins, microbial volatile organic compounds
                  or other "microbial contaminations." This includes:

                  a.       Any supervision, instruction, recommendations,
                           warnings or advice given or which should have been
                           given in connection with the above; and

                  b.       Any obligation to share damages with or repay someone
                           else who must pay damages because of such injury or
                           damage.

                  For purposes of this exclusion, "microbial contamination"
                  means any contamination, either airborne or surface, which
                  arises out of or is related to the presence of fungi, mold,
                  mildew, mycotoxins, microbial volatile organic compounds or
                  spores, including, without limitation, Penicillium,
                  Aspergillus, Fusarium, Aspergillus Flavus and Stachybotrys
                  chartarum.

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

                  Losses resulting from the above causes do not in and of
                  themselves constitute an event unless arising out of one or
                  more of the following perils, in which case this exclusion
                  does not apply:

                           Fire, lightning, explosion, aircraft or vehicle
                           impact, falling objects, windstorm, hail, tornado,
                           cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, volcano, tsunami,
                           flood, freeze or weight of snow.

                  Notice of any claims for mold-related losses must be given by
                  the Company to the Reinsurer, in writing, within 24 months
                  after the commencement date of the loss occurrence to which
                  such claims relate.

         12.      Loss or liability excluded under the provisions of the
                  "Electronic Data Endorsement B" (N.M.A. 2915) attached to and
                  forming part of this Contract.

ARTICLE V - RETENTION AND LIMIT

A.       As respects each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this
         Contract, the Company shall retain and be liable for the first amount
         of ultimate net loss, shown as "Company's Retention" for that excess
         layer in Schedule A attached hereto, arising out of each loss
         occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each excess
         layer, for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the
         Company's applicable retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer
         under each excess layer shall not exceed the amount, shown as
         "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A
         attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence.

B.       No claim shall be made under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage
         provided by this Contract as respects any one loss occurrence unless at
         least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in
         such loss occurrence. For purposes of this Contract, the Company shall
         be the sole judge of what constitutes one risk.

ARTICLE VI - REINSTATEMENT

A.       In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess
         layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by
         loss, the amount so exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the
         time the loss occurrence commences hereon. For each amount so
         reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the
         product of the following:

         1.       The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer
                  reinstated (based on the loss paid by the Reinsurer under that
                  excess layer); times

         2.       The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated
                  for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement
                  premium).

B.       Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any loss
         under any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement
         to the Reinsurer of reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that
         excess layer. If the earned reinsurance premium for

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

         reinstatement premium due for that excess layer shall be based on the
         annual deposit premium for that excess layer and shall be readjusted
         when the earned reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term
         of this Contract has been finally determined. Any reinstatement premium
         shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any
         such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)
         shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the
         Reinsurer of the requested loss for that excess layer. Any return
         reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by
         the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of
         the Company's statement.

C.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer
         under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this
         Contract shall not exceed either of the following:

         1.       The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for
                  that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as respects
                  loss or losses arising out of any one loss occurrence; or

         2.       The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess
                  layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in all during the term of
                  this Contract.

         obligations and loss adjustment expense, as hereinafter defined) paid
         or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction
         of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all
         salvage, all recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or
         reinsurance, whether collectible or not. 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.

B.       "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations"
         as used herein shall be defined as follows:

         1.       "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any
                  amount paid or payable by the Company in excess of its policy
                  limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy, such
                  loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been
                  incurred because of, but not limited to, failure by the
                  Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of the
                  Company's 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
                  reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal
                  consequent upon such an action.

         2.       "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any
                  punitive, exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages
                  paid or payable by the Company, not covered by any other
                  provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling
                  of any claim on business subject to this Contract, such
                  liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, failure by
                  the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of
                  the Company's 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

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

                  insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of
                  an appeal consequent upon such an action. An extra contractual
                  obligation shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to have
                  occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be
                  covered under the policy.

         Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the amount included in the
         ultimate net loss for any one loss occurrence as respects loss in
         excess of policy limits and extra contractual obligations shall not
         exceed 25.0% of the Company's indemnity loss hereunder arising out of
         that loss occurrence.

         Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply
         to any loss in excess of policy limits or any extra contractual
         obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or
         criminal act by any officer or director 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.

         If any provision of this paragraph B shall be rendered illegal or
         unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state,
         such provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall
         not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
         this Contract or the enforceability of such provision in any other
         jurisdiction.

C.       "Loss adjustment expense" as used herein shall mean expenses assignable
         to the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation,
         defense and/or appeal of specific claims, regardless of how such
         expenses are classified for statutory reporting purposes. Loss
         adjustment expense shall include, but not be limited to, declaratory
         judgments, interest on judgments, expenses of outside adjusters, and a
         pro rata share of the salaries and expenses of the Company's field
         employees according to the time occupied adjusting such losses and
         expenses of the Company's officials incurred in connection with the
         losses, but shall not include office expenses or salaries of the
         Company's regular employees.

ARTICLE VIII - OTHER REINSURANCE

The Company shall be permitted to carry commercial property excess reinsurance,
recoveries under which shall inure to the benefit of this Contract. The Company
shall also carry 15.0% quota share reinsurance on its direct personal lines
business, recoveries under which shall inure to the benefit of this Contract, or
so deemed.

ARTICLE IX - LOSS OCCURRENCE (BRMA 27E)

A.       The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses
         directly occasioned by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of
         disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event which occurs
         within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada
         and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However,
         the duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited
         to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any
         period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned
         by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall be
         further defined as follows:

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

<PAGE>

         1.       As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone,
                  including ensuing collapse and water damage, all individual
                  losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of
                  72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by
                  the same event. However, the event need not be limited to one
                  state or province or states or provinces contiguous thereto.

         2.       As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion,
                  vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses
                  sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 72
                  consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or
                  county and the municipalities or counties contiguous thereto
                  arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The
                  maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in
                  respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 72
                  consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an
                  insured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation
                  commenced during the aforesaid period.

         3.       As regards earthquake (the epicentre of which need not
                  necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to in
                  the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire following
                  directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual
                  fire losses which commence during the period of 168
                  consecutive hours may be included in the Company's "loss
                  occurrence."

         4.       As regards "freeze," only individual losses directly
                  occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass and water damage
                  (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included in
                  the Company's "loss occurrence."

B.       For all those "loss occurrences," other than those referred to in
         subparagraph 2 of paragraph A above, 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 time of the occurrence of the
         first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of
         that disaster, accident or loss, and provided that only one such period
         of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, except
         for any "loss occurrence" referred to in subparagraph 1 of paragraph A
         above where only one such period of 72 consecutive hours shall apply
         with respect to one event, regardless of the duration of the event.

C.       As respects those "loss occurrences" referred to in subparagraph 2 of
         paragraph A above, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the
         event is of greater duration than 72 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.

D.       No individual losses occasioned by an event that would be covered by 72
         hours clauses may be included in any "loss occurrence" claimed under
         the 168 hours provision.

ARTICLE X - LOSS NOTICES AND SETTLEMENTS

A.       Whenever losses sustained by the Company appear likely to result in a
         claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer, and the
         Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment of such
         losses at its own expense.

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

Page 7

<PAGE>

B.       All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the
         terms of this Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the
         Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable upon
         receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid (or scheduled to be
         paid) by the Company.

ARTICLE XI - SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or
recovery made by the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of
officials and employees of the Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer,
of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims
and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage thereon shall always be
used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority
according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the
Company for its primary loss. The Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to
salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss was sustained
by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights.

ARTICLE XII - FLORIDA HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND

A.       Any loss reimbursement paid or payable to the Company under the Florida
         Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) as a result of loss occurrences
         commencing during the term of this Contract shall inure to the benefit
         of this Contract. Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed
         to be paid to the Company in accordance with the reimbursement contract
         between the Company and the State Board of Administration of the State
         of Florida at the full payout level set forth therein and will be
         deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's
         claims paying capacity.

B.       Prior to the determination of the Company's FHCF retention and payout,
         if any, under the reimbursement contract, the Reinsurer's liability
         hereunder will be determined provisionally based on the projected
         payout, determined in accordance with the provisions of the
         reimbursement contract. Following determination of the payout under the
         reimbursement contract, the ultimate net loss under this Contract will
         be recalculated. If, as a result of such calculation, the loss to the
         Reinsurer under any excess layer of this Contract in any one loss
         occurrence is less than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer
         under that excess layer, the Company shall promptly remit the
         difference to the Reinsurer. If the loss to the Reinsurer under any
         excess layer in any one loss occurrence is greater than the amount
         previously paid by the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall promptly remit
         the difference to the Company.

C.       If an FHCF reimbursement amount is based on the Company's losses in
         more than one loss occurrence and the FHCF does not designate the
         amount allocable to each loss occurrence, the FHCF reimbursement amount
         shall be prorated in the proportion that the Company's losses in each
         loss occurrence bear to the Company's total losses arising out of all
         loss occurrences to which the FHCF reimbursement applies.

D.       Any reimbursement premiums or emergency assessment paid by the Company
         under the FHCF shall be deemed to be premiums paid for inuring
         reinsurance.

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

ARTICLE XIII - REINSURANCE PREMIUM

A.       As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by
         this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the greater of the
         following:

         1.       The amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer
                  in Schedule A attached hereto; or

         2.       The sum of the following:

                  a.       The percentage, shown as "Condominium, Homeowners and
                           Commercial Premium Rate" for that excess layer in
                           Schedule A attached hereto, of the Company's gross
                           earned premium for Condominium, Homeowners and
                           Commercial Property business during the term of this
                           Contract; and

                  b.       The percentage, shown as "Manufactured Homeowners
                           Premium Rate" for that excess layer in Schedule A
                           attached hereto, of the Company's gross earned
                           premium for Manufactured Homeowners business during
                           the term of this Contract.

B.       The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess
         layer of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium" for that excess layer
         in Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the
         amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in
         Schedule A attached hereto, on June 1, September 1 and December 1 of
         2003 and March 1, 2004.

C.       Within 45 days after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall
         provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due
         hereunder for each excess layer, computed in accordance with paragraph
         A, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due
         the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.

D.       "Gross earned premium" as used herein is defined as earned premium of
         the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder, before the
         deduction of any premiums ceded by the Company for reinsurance which
         inures to the benefit of this Contract. For purposes of calculating
         gross earned premium, the Company's earned premium for Homeowners,
         Manufactured Homeowners and Condominium policies that include a "No
         Wind/No Water" exclusion shall not be considered subject premium. It is
         understood that gross earned premium shall include catastrophe fees,
         but shall exclude MGA fees, DRST fees and policy surcharges to recoup
         residual market deficit assessments.

ARTICLE XIV - LATE PAYMENTS

A.       The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless
         specifically invoked, in writing, by one of the parties to this
         Contract.

B.       In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not
         received by the intermediary named in Article XXXI (hereinafter
         referred to as the "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party
         to whom 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

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

         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 the 6-month United States Treasury Bill rate, as
                  quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of
                  the month for which the calculation is made; times

         3.       The amount past due, including accrued interest.

         It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the
         original amount due plus interest penalties have been received by the
         Intermediary.

C.       The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article,
         be determined 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 section of this Contract. In the event a due date
                  is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be
                  deemed due 30 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 10 business days after the proof of loss or demand
                  for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or
                  claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest
                  will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance
                  with paragraph B 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 either party
                  not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of
                  paragraph C above, the due date shall be as provided for in
                  the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due
                  date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall
                  be deemed due 10 business days following transmittal 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.

D.       Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a
         Subscribing Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or
         from participating in the defense or control of any claim or suit, or
         prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or
         from initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with
         the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an
         arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest penalties due
         hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the
         debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty on the
         amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance
         with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such
         proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is
         contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in
         whole or in

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

         part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such
         excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in
         accordance with this Article.

E.       Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that
         are $100 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a
         pattern of late payments consisting of three or more items over the
         course of any 12-month period.

ARTICLE XV - OFFSET (BRMA 36D)

The Company and the Reinsurer, each at its option, may offset any balance or
balances, whether on account of premiums, claims and losses, loss expenses or
salvages due from one party to the other under this Contract; provided, however,
that in the event of the insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be
allowed in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.

ARTICLE XVI - ACCESS TO RECORDS (BRMA 1D)

The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any
reasonable time to all records of the Company which pertain in any way to this
reinsurance.

ARTICLE XVII - LIABILITY OF THE REINSURER

A.       The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in
         every case and be subject in all respects to all the general and
         specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications of the
         Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event
         shall this be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the
         terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

B.       Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish
         any rights against the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any
         persons not parties to this Contract.

ARTICLE XVIII - NET RETAINED LINES (BRMA 32B)

A.       This Contract applies only to that portion of any policy which the
         Company retains net for its own account, 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 which 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 reinsurer(s), whether specific or
         general, any amounts which may have become due from such reinsurer(s),
         whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other
         reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

ARTICLE XIX - ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (BRMA 14F)

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or
any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability
which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred,
provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as possible
after discovery.

ARTICLE XX - CURRENCY (BRMA 12A)

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.

B.       Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be
         converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date
         such transaction is entered on the books of the Company.

ARTICLE XXI - TAXES (BRMA 50C)

In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company
will not claim a deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax
returns, other than income or profits tax returns, to any state or territory of
the United States of America, the District of Columbia or Canada.

ARTICLE XXII - FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (BRMA 17A)

(Applicable to those reinsurers, excepting Underwriters at Lloyd's London and
other reinsurers exempt from Federal Excise Tax, who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

A.       The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal
         Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon as
         imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent
         such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

B.       In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the
         Reinsurer will deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium
         payable hereon and the Company or its agent should take steps to
         recover the tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE XXIII - RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

A.       If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any state of the United States of
         America or the District of Columbia, the Reinsurer agrees to fund its
         share of the Company's ceded United States unearned premium and
         outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including all
         case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be unreported
         from known loss occurrences) by:

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

<PAGE>

         1.       Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued
                  and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance
                  regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or banks meeting
                  the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for
                  issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance
                  regulatory authorities; and/or

         2.       Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or

         3.       Cash advances;

         if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any
         financial statement it is required to file with the insurance
         regulatory authorities involved. The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may
         fund in other than cash if its method and form of funding are
         acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

B.       If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any province or jurisdiction of
         Canada, the Reinsurer agrees to fund 115% of its share of the Company's
         ceded Canadian unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss
         adjustment expense reserves (including all case reserves plus any
         reasonable amount estimated to be unreported from known loss
         occurrences) by:

         1.       A clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit issued
                  and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance
                  regulatory authorities involved, by a Canadian bank or banks
                  meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards
                  for issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said
                  insurance regulatory authorities, for no more than 15/115ths
                  of the total funding required; and/or

         2.       Cash advances for the remaining balance of the funding
                  required;

         if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any
         financial statement it is required to file with the insurance
         regulatory authorities involved.

C.       With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is
         agreed that each letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to
         insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued for a term of
         at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which
         automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each
         expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the
         Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. The
         Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn
         upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without
         diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer,
         but only for one or more of the following purposes:

         1.       To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned
                  premiums returned to insureds on account of policy
                  cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

         2.       To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or
                  loss adjustment expense paid under the terms of policies
                  reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

         3.       To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other
                  amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by
                  the Reinsurer;

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

Page 13

<PAGE>

         4.       To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's
                  share of any ceded unearned premium and/or outstanding loss
                  and loss adjustment expense reserves (including all case
                  reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be unreported
                  from known loss occurrences) funded by means of a letter of
                  credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of
                  credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10
                  days prior to its expiration date;

         5.       To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual
                  amount required to fund the Reinsurer's share of the Company's
                  ceded unearned premium and/or outstanding loss and loss
                  adjustment expense reserves (including all case reserves plus
                  any reasonable amount estimated to be unreported from known
                  loss occurrences), if so requested by the Reinsurer.

         In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is
         in excess of the actual amount required for C(1) or C(2) or C(4), in
         the case of C(3), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company
         shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.

ARTICLE XXIV - INSOLVENCY

A.       In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured
         companies, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the company or
         to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor 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 or bond 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 pro rata share of the benefit which 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 understood and agreed that, in the event of the
         insolvency of one or more of the reinsured companies, the reinsurance
         under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the
         company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except
         as provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or 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

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

         Reinsurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the
         obligations of the company to such payees.

ARTICLE XXV - ARBITRATION

A.       As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute
         or difference between the Company and any Reinsurer relating to the
         interpretation or performance of this Contract, including its formation
         or validity, or any transaction under this Contract, whether arising
         before or after termination, shall be submitted to arbitration.

B.       If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such
         reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this
         Article provided that communication shall be made by the Company to
         each of the reinsurers constituting the one party, and 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 Reinsurer under the
         terms of this Contract from several to joint.

C.       Upon written request of any party, each party shall choose an
         arbitrator and the two chosen shall select a third arbitrator. If
         either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within 30
         days after receipt of the written request for arbitration, the
         requesting party may appoint a second arbitrator. If the two
         arbitrators fail to agree on the selection of a third arbitrator within
         30 days of their appointment, the Company shall petition the American
         Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator. If the
         American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the third arbitrator
         within 30 days after it has been requested to do so, either party may
         request a justice of a court of general jurisdiction of the state in
         which the arbitration is to be held to appoint the third arbitrator.
         All arbitrators shall be active or retired officers of insurance or
         reinsurance companies, or Lloyd's London Underwriters, and
         disinterested in the outcome of the arbitration. Each party shall
         submit its case to the arbitrators within 30 days of the appointment of
         the third arbitrator.

D.       The parties hereby waive all objections to the method of selection of
         the arbitrators, it being the intention of both sides that all the
         arbitrators be chosen from those submitted by the parties.

E.       The arbitrators shall have the power to determine all procedural rules
         for the holding of the arbitration including but not limited to
         inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and any other matter
         relating to the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall
         interpret this Contract as an honorable engagement and not as merely a
         legal obligation; they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may
         abstain from following the strict rules of law. The arbitrators may
         award interest and costs. Each party shall bear the expense of its own
         arbitrator and shall share equally with the other party the expenses of
         the third arbitrator and of the arbitration.

F.       The decision in writing of the majority of the arbitrators shall be
         final and binding upon both parties. Judgment may be entered upon the
         final decision of the arbitrators in any court having jurisdiction. The
         arbitration shall take place in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, unless
         otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the Reinsurer.

G.       This Article shall remain in full force and effect in the event any
         other provision of this Contract shall be found invalid or non-binding.

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

H.       All time limitations stated in this Article may be amended by mutual
         consent of the parties, and will be amended automatically to the extent
         made necessary by any circumstances beyond the control of the parties.

ARTICLE XXVI - SERVICE OF SUIT

(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 parties obligations to
arbitrate their disputes in accordance with Article XXV.)

A.       It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount
         claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the
         Company, will 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.

B.       Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of
         the United States which makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby
         designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement,
         or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent, Commissioner or
         Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in
         the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its true and
         lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any
         action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or
         any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract.

ARTICLE XXVII - AGENCY AGREEMENT

If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the
first named company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies
for purposes of sending or receiving notices required by the terms and
conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of remitting or receiving any
monies due any party.

ARTICLE XXVIII - GOVERNING LAW

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and
interpretation by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania exclusive of the rules
with respect to conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for
reinsurance in which case the applicable rules of all the states shall apply.

ARTICLE XXIX - CONFIDENTIALITY

The Reinsurer, except with the express prior written consent of the Company,
shall not directly or indirectly communicate, disclose or divulge to any third
party any knowledge or information that may be acquired either directly or
indirectly as a result of the inspection of the Company's

                                                                 [BENFIELD LOGO]

<PAGE>

books, records and papers. The restrictions as outlined in this Article shall
not apply to communication or disclosures that the Reinsurer is required to make
to its statutory auditors, retrocessionaires, legal counsel, arbitrators
involved in any arbitration procedures under this Contract or disclosures
required upon subpoena or other duly-issued order of a court or other
governmental agency or regulatory authority.

ARTICLE XXX - SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Contract should be invalid under applicable laws, the
latter shall control but only to the extent of the conflict without affecting
the remaining provisions of this Contract.

ARTICLE XXXI - INTERMEDIARY (BRMA 23A)

Benfield Inc. is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract
for all business hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to
notices, statements, premium, return premium, commissions, taxes, losses, loss
adjustment expense, salvages and loss settlements) relating thereto shall be
transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer through Benfield Inc., 3600 West
80th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55431. Payments by the Company to the
Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by
the Reinsurer to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the
Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the
Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company by its duly authorized representative has
executed this Contract as of the date undermentioned at:

Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, this 18th day of August in the year 2003.

1.       This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the
         Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer,
         from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of
         covering Atomic or Nuclear Energy risks.

2.       Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this
         Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing
         to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or
         Reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including
         business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such
         Physical Damage) to:

         I.       Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property
                  on the site, or

         II.      Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories
                  handling radioactive materials in connection with reactor
                  installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or

         III.     Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for
                  processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear
                  material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically
                  separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or
                  waste materials, or

         IV.      Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III
                  above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes or

3.       Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2)
         hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability by
         radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or
         indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance on
         property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or
         other nuclear installation and which normally would be insured
         therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate

         (a)      where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear
                  reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or

         (b)      where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage
                  for damage to property caused by or resulting from radioactive
                  contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st
                  January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b) shall only apply provided
                  the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has
                  been approved by the Governmental Authority having

         and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability
         by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or
         indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, when such radioactive
         contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.

5.       It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks
         using radioactive isotopes in any form where the nuclear exposure is
         not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.

6.       The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in
         the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law amendatory thereof.

7.       Reassured to be sole judge of what constitutes:

         (a)      substantial quantities, and

         (b)      the extent of installation, plant or site.

Note.-Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) hereof, it
is understood and agreed that

         (a)      all policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st
                  December 1957 shall be free from the application of the other
                  provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December

occurrence commenced may not be included in the Ultimate Net Loss hereunder.

Loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or retire bonds
as a consequence of being a member of CPIC. For the purposes of this Contract,

1.       ELECTRONIC DATA EXCLUSION

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary within the Contract or
         any endorsement thereto, it is understood and agreed as follows:-

         a)       This Contract does not insure loss, damage, destruction,
                  distortion, erasure, corruption or alteration of ELECTRONIC
                  DATA from any cause whatsoever (including but not limited to
                  COMPUTER VIRUS) or loss of use, reduction in functionality,
                  cost, expense of whatsoever nature resulting therefrom,
                  regardless of any other cause or event contributing
                  concurrently or in any other sequence to the loss.

                  ELECTRONIC DATA means facts, concepts and information
                  converted to a form useable for communications, interpretation
                  or processing by electronic and electromechanical data
                  processing or electronically controlled equipment and includes
                  programs, software and other coded instructions for the
                  processing and manipulation of data or the direction and
                  manipulation of such equipment.

                  COMPUTER VIRUS means a set of corrupting, harmful or otherwise
                  unauthorized instructions or code including a set of

                  computer system or network of whatsoever nature. COMPUTER
                  VIRUS includes but is not limited to "Trojan Horses," "worms"
                  and "time or logic bombs."

         b)       However, in the event that a peril listed below results from
                  any of the matters described in paragraph a) above, this
                  Contract, subject to all its terms, conditions and exclusions,
                  will cover physical damage occurring during the Contract
                  period to property insured by this Contract directly caused by
                  such listed peril.

2.       ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING MEDIA VALUATION

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary within the Contract or
         any endorsement thereto, it is understood and agreed as follows:-

         Should electronic data processing media insured by this Contract suffer
         physical loss or damage insured by this Contract, then the basis of
         valuation shall be the cost of the blank media plus the costs of
         copying the ELECTRONIC DATA from back-up or from originals of a
         previous generation. These costs will not include research and
         engineering nor any costs of recreating, gathering or assembling such
         ELECTRONIC DATA. If the media is not repaired, replaced or restored the
         basis of valuation shall be the cost of the blank media. However this
         Contract does not insure any amount pertaining to the value of such
         ELECTRONIC DATA to the Assured or any other party, even if such
         ELECTRONIC DATA cannot be recreated, gathered or assembled.
