ARTICLE 9



EXCESS OF ORIGINAL POLICY LIMITS



|A. | This Contract shall protect the Company, within the limits hereof, in connection with any loss in excess of the limit of its original Policy, such Loss in Excess of the Original
Policy Limit having been incurred because of failure by it 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

defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract 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 reinsured or in
the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|B. | The date on which an Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original accident, casualty, disaster or
loss and furthermore, for the purposes hereof be deemed to follow the Claims Made provisions of this Contract, subject always to the provisions of the Term Article.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|C. | 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.

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



|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
underwriters, whether specific or general, any amount which may become due from them, whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other underwriters or otherwise.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ARTICLE 12

All reinsurance under this Contract shall be subject to the same rates, terms, conditions, waivers and interpretations, and to the same

|A. | The Company or the Reinsurer may at any time express its desire to the other party to commute all losses which are applicable to the term of this Contract and which are still

UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE



|A. | This Article is only applicable to those Reinsurer(s) who cannot qualify for credit by the State having jurisdiction over the Companys loss reserves.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|B. | As regards Policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that, when it shall file with the Insurance Department or set up on
its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set up, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such loss reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees
that it shall apply for and secure delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit, issued by a bank which is acceptable to the regulatory authority(ies) having jurisdiction over the Companys loss reserves in
an amount equal to the Reinsurers proportion of reserves in respect of known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses relating thereto, plus reserves for losses incurred but not
reported, as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (see the attached Exhibit E).

date unless 30 days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the Company by registered mail that the bank elects not to consider the Letter of Credit extended for any additional period. An issuing bank, not a member of the Federal
Reserve System or not chartered in New York State shall provide 60 days notice to the Company prior to any expiration in the event of non-extension.

|D. | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, the Company or its successors in interest may draw upon such credit at any time without diminution because of the insolvency of
the Company or of the Reinsurer for one or more of the following purposes only:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1. | To pay the Reinsurers share or to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurers share of any loss reinsured by this Contract, the payment of which has been agreed by the
Reinsurer and which has not been otherwise paid.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurers share of any liability reinsured by this Contract.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | In the event of expiration of the Letter of Credit as provided for above, to establish deposit of the Reinsurers share of known and reported outstanding losses and allocated
Loss Adjustment Expenses relating thereto under this Contract. Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Companys other assets, and interest thereon shall accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|E. | 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.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|F. | At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole purpose of amending the
Letter of Credit, of the Reinsurers share of known and reported outstanding losses and allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses relating thereto, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported. If the statement shows that Reinsurers share
of such losses and allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses exceeds the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment of the Letter of
Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference. If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurers share of known and reported outstanding losses plus allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses relating thereto, plus
reserves for losses incurred but not reported is less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an
amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|B. | The Reinsurer shall have the sole option of determining the method of funding referred to above, provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved. If the
Reinsurer elects to fund the aforesaid loss by a Letter of Credit, the procedures set forth in the Unauthorized Reinsurance Article in respect of Letters of Credit shall apply. If the Reinsurer has already funded obligations hereunder in accordance
with the Unauthorized Reinsurance Article in this Contract, it agrees that such funds as are required to pay overdue losses may immediately be drawn down by the Company.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|C. | The phrase any loss payable as used in paragraph A above shall mean any Ultimate Net Loss subject to recovery under this Contract wherein the Reinsurer has not disputed
said loss in writing within the due date for payment.

|D. | The Company shall provide the Reinsurer with a reinsurance proof of loss and such other substantive loss material reflecting the nature of the settlement (i.e., applicable proofs of
loss, releases, adjusters reports, etc.). If, subsequent to receipt of this material, the information supplied is insufficient or not in accordance with the contractual conditions, then the payment due date as defined in the Reports and
Remittances Article, shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Reinsurer received such additional substantive material necessary to approve payment of the claim, or the date the claim is presented in a manner acceptable to the Reinsurer.

premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the percentage specified by United States law of the premium payable hereon to the extent

ARTICLE 24



INSOLVENCY



|A. | The portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, when such portion is ascertained, shall be payable on demand of the Company at the same time as the Company shall pay
its net retained portion of such risk or obligation, with reasonable provision for verification before payment, and the reinsurance shall be payable by the Reinsurer, on the basis of the liability of the Company under the Policy or Policies
reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|B. | In the event of the insolvency of one or more than one of the companies, reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable immediately on demand, with reasonable provision for
verification, on the basis of claims allowed against the insolvent company(ies) by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor of the Company(ies) having authority to allow such claims, without
diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such payments by the Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its liquidator, receiver or
statutory successor, except where the contract of insurance or reinsurance provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company(ies).
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|C. | It is agreed, however, that the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the insolvent Company(ies) shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim
against the insolvent Company(ies) on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding 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 which it may deem available to the Company(ies) or its liquidator or receiver or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer
shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company(ies) as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company(ies) solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by the Reinsurer.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

California. 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.

Judgment upon the award may be entered in a court having jurisdiction thereof.

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.
