 ARTICLE 6 

ACCESS TO RECORDS 
 The Reinsurer or its designated
representatives shall have access to the books and records of the Reinsured on matters relating to this reinsurance at all reasonable times, at the location where such books and records are maintained in the ordinary course of business, for the
purpose of obtaining information concerning this Contract or the subject matter thereof. Notification of a request for inspection of records shall be sent to the Reinsured by the Reinsurer in written form, and shall normally be given four weeks in
advance. Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer shall not have any right of access to the records of the Reinsured if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Reinsured. 

ARTICLE 7 
 AGENCY 

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 8 
 ARBITRATION 

 

	1.	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, it is hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or
difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter shall be chosen by the Reinsured, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be chosen by the two Arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be active or
retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within 30 days following a written request by the other party to do so,
the requesting party may choose two Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within 30 days following their appointment, the two Arbiters shall
request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Umpire. If the American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the Umpire 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 Umpire.

	2.	Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within 30 days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal
obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the Arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the Umpire and the
decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 


 

	3.	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 and communications shall be made by the Reinsured to each of the
reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein 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 participating
under the terms of this Contract from several to joint. 

  

	4.	Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two Arbiters are chosen by one party, as
above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties. 

  

	5.	Any arbitration proceedings shall take place in Tampa, Florida; however, the location may be changed if mutually agreed upon by the parties of this Contract. Notwithstanding the location of arbitration, all proceedings
pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of Florida. 

 ARTICLE 9 

COLLATERAL 
  

	1.	As promptly as possible at effective date of this Contract, the Reinsurer (as Grantor) shall enter into a Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with the Reinsured (as Beneficiary) and the trustee, pursuant
to which the Reinsurer shall provide collateral in the form of eligible Assets deposited and held in a Trust Account, with such Assets having a market value greater than or equal to the Original Contract Deposit Premium (the “Collateral”)
less unpaid premium (net of brokerage and applicable Federal Excise Tax). It is understood that deposit premium paid in accordance with the Rate and Premium Article shall be deposited into the Trust Account.

	2.	The Reinsured agrees that if the Reinsurer makes payment(s) to the Reinsured under this Contract, the Reinsurer may withdraw Assets from the Trust Account, reducing the market value of Assets in the Trust Account to an
amount at least equal to the unused Reinsurance Limit, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. 

  

	3.	The Trust Fund may be drawn upon by the Reinsured at any time and the Assets may be used at the Reinsured’s option in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Trust Agreement. 


 

	4.	At any time prior to expiration or termination of this Contract, if the value of the Assets in the Trust Account is less than the Reinsurer’s Obligations hereunder, the Reinsurer shall promptly deposit the
difference into the Trust Account. 

  

	5.	Except as provided in the Collateral Release Article, the Reinsured agrees to release the Assets in the Trust Account required under this Article as promptly as provided in the Trust Agreement. 


 

	6.	“Original Contract Deposit Premium” shall be defined as: 

  

	 	a.	23.75%; times 

  

	 	b.	Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit in Original Contract as defined in paragraph (1) of Schedule A attached hereto. 


ARTICLE 10 
 COLLATERAL RELEASE

  

	1.	At the expiration or termination of this Contract, if the Trust has not yet been terminated, the Reinsured shall calculate on a monthly basis, how much, if any, of the collateral shall be released from the Trust.


  

	2.	Notwithstanding the aforementioned, at December 31, 2015, the parties agree to consider the release of collateral. The intention is to release collateral for all limits for which there is essentially no possibility
of reinstatement premium protection from past or future events before the expiration of this Contract. All collateral securing what the parties agree are unreachable limits will be released within three business days.

Reinsured an amount equal to the reinstatement premium reserves hereunder, as estimated by the Reinsured, which would be recoverable hereunder. Upon the Reinsurer’s payment of such amount, both parties shall be completely released from all
liability under this Contract, whether known or unknown.

 Further, the Reinsurer agrees not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose not

 ARTICLE 14 

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
 Inadvertent delays, errors

is rectified as soon as possible after discovery. 
 ARTICLE 15 

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX 
  

	1.	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. 

  

	2.	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 Reinsured or its agent should take steps to recover the

statutory successor, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Reinsured or on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding,
whichever may be required by applicable statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Reinsured or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Reinsured 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 Reinsured shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Reinsured 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 Reinsured 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 Reinsured 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 Reinsured solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. 

  

	3.	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 Reinsured. 

  

	4.	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 Reinsured 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 or other party as more specifically limited by any
statute or regulation applicable hereto, of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Reinsured or (2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy obligations of the Reinsured as
direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Reinsured to such payees. However, the exceptions provided in (1) and (2) above shall apply only to the extent that
applicable statutes or regulations specifically permit such exceptions.

 ARTICLE 18 

LATE PAYMENTS 
  

	1.	The interest penalties provided for in this Article shall apply to the Reinsurer or to the Reinsured in the following circumstances: 


 

	 	a.	Payments due from the Reinsurer to the Reinsured shall have as a due date the date on which the agreed proof of loss is received by the Reinsurer, and shall be overdue 30 days thereafter. Payment to the Intermediary is
deemed to be payment to the Reinsured for purposes of this Article. 

  

	 	b.	Payments due from the Reinsured to the Reinsurer shall have as a due date the date specified in this Contract. Payments shall be overdue 30 days thereafter. Premium adjustments shall be overdue 30 days following the due
date set forth under the terms of this Contract. 

  

	 	c.	The Reinsured shall provide a copy of the original insured’s proof of loss, and a copy of the claim adjuster’s report(s) or other evidence of indemnification for losses exceeding the excess limit on an
incurred basis. If, subsequent to receipt of this evidence, the information contained therein is insufficient or not in accordance with the contractual conditions, then the payment due date as defined in subparagraph (a) shall be deemed to be
the date upon which the Reinsurer received additional information necessary to approve payment of the claim or the claim is presented in an acceptable manner. Interest as stipulated in subparagraph (d) shall be payable should a disputed claim
be ultimately settled and if the period set out in subparagraph (a) is exceeded, but only to the extent that the final loss payment exactly tracks with the original proof of loss. 


 

	 	d.	Overdue amounts shall bear simple interest from the overdue date at the 90-day United States Treasury Bill rate set forth by the Federal Reserve Board for the first Monday of the calendar month in which the amount
becomes overdue, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release. If the interest generated for 100% in respect of any overdue payment as outlined in subparagraph (a) or (b) is $500 or less, then the interest penalty shall be
waived. 

  

	 	e.	For the purposes of this Article, reinsuring Underwriters at Lloyd’s shall be viewed as one entity. The provisions set forth herein shall not be applicable until the creditor party shall have manifested to the
debtor party its intent to invoke the terms of this Article.

	2.	All corporate matters relating to the creation of the Reinsurer, including, but not limited to, the capacity of the Reinsurer, the segregated nature of the Reinsurer and Aeolus Re Ltd., and the operation and liquidation
of the Reinsurer, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Bermuda. The Reinsured acknowledges that the Reinsurer has written and/or will write other reinsurance or retrocession policies and that the assets and liabilities
attributable to each such contract shall be linked to the segregated account of the Reinsurer. Accordingly, the Reinsurer will have assets and liabilities relating to a multiple of reinsurance contracts. The Reinsured has had the opportunity to take
advice and to obtain all such additional information that it considers necessary to evaluate the terms, conditions and risks of entering into this Contract with the Reinsurer. 


 

	3.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract to the contrary, the liability of the Reinsurer for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations, however they may arise, in relation to this Agreement
(the “SAC Obligations”) will be limited to and payable solely from the assets linked to the Reinsurer. Accordingly there will be no recourse to any other assets of Aeolus Re Ltd. (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any assets
linked to any other segregated account of Aeolus Re Ltd. or to its general account). In the event that the assets linked to the Reinsurer are insufficient to meet all of its SAC Obligations, any SAC Obligations remaining after the application of
such assets linked to the Reinsurer will be extinguished, and the Reinsured undertakes in such circumstances to take no further action against the Reinsurer, Aeolus Re Ltd. or any other segregated accounts of Aeolus Re Ltd. in respect of any such
SAC Obligations. In particular, neither the Reinsured nor any party acting on its behalf will petition or take any steps for the winding up or receivership of the Reinsurer, Aeolus Re Ltd., or any other segregated account of Aeolus Re Ltd.


  

	4.	This Limited Recourse and Bermuda Regulations Article shall survive termination of this Contract.

 ARTICLE 21 

NOTICES AND AGREEMENT EXECUTION

 ARTICLE 22 

OFFSET 
 The Reinsured and the Reinsurer, each at
its option, may offset any balance or balances, whether on account of premiums, claims and losses, Loss Adjustment Expenses or salvages due from one party to the other under this Contract or under any other reinsurance agreement heretofore or
hereafter entered into between the Reinsured and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or as ceding company; 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 23 

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.) 

 

	1.	This Article will not be read to conflict with or override the obligations of the parties to arbitrate their disputes as provided for in the Arbitration Article. This Article is intended as an aid to compelling
arbitration or enforcing such arbitration or arbitral award, not as an alternative to the Arbitration Article for resolving disputes arising out of this Contract. 


 

	2.	In the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder or fails to otherwise perform its obligations hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Reinsured, 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. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is accepted
by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer or otherwise, as provided for above, will comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against any of the Reinsurers upon this Contract,
will abide by the final decision of such court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.

	3.	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 or 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 proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Reinsured or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract. 


ARTICLE 24 
 SEVERABILITY

 If any provision of this Contract 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. 

ARTICLE 25 
 TAXES 

In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Reinsured 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 or the District of Columbia.
