                    ARTICLE 5: COVERAGES AND AGGREGATE LIMITS


SECTION A - 75% QUOTA SHARE COVERAGE

Reinsurers shall indemnify the Ceding Company for 75% (seventy-five percent)
quota share of Ultimate Net Loss arising from covered losses for each applicable
Coverage Year during the Term of this Treaty subject to the Section A Aggregate
Limit hereon. This quota share shall be in respect of the Business Covered
exposure period related to Section A Advance Consideration only.

This Section A Quota Share Coverage can be converted to Section B Aggregate
Excess of Loss Coverage during the first quarter retroactive to January 1st of
any applicable Coverage Year. This conversion is at the mutual agreement of the
Ceding Company and the Reinsurers and is subject to the following conditions not
being present prior to the conversion date:

1.      The Ceding Company's A.M. Best Rating falls below B+; and

2.      The Ceding Company's surplus drops below $60,000,000 (sixty million
        dollars).

If both of these conditions are present during the first quarter, then the
Section A Quota Share Coverage cannot be converted into the Section B Aggregate
Excess of Loss Coverage for the applicable Coverage Year.

If Section A is not converted to Section B, the Ceding Company shall track the
advance premium by policy to the coverage time afforded by the advance premium
under each policy. Section A shall cover the Ceding Company on the basis of the
coverage of the underlying original Policies during such advance premium
coverage time.


The Aggregate Limit for each Section A Coverage Year shall equal 167% (one
hundred sixty-seven percent) of Section A Advance Consideration. If Section A is
converted to Section B, the Aggregate Limit for Section A shall be $0 (zero
dollars) for the respective Coverage Year.


SECTION B - AGGREGATE EXCESS OF LOSS COVERAGE

Should the Ceding Company's Loss Ratio exceed 75% (seventy-five percent)
(hereinafter called the Retention), the Reinsurers shall be liable for 100% (one
hundred percent) of the paid amount of Ultimate Net Losses in excess of the
Retention subject to a maximum Aggregate Limit of 75% (seventy-five percent) of
SNWP. This aggregate excess coverage shall cover the Ceding Company on the basis
of the coverage of the original Policies. If the Section A Quota Share Coverage
is converted to this Section B Aggregate Excess of Loss Coverage, then this
Section B shall also cover the Ceding Company's original Policies pertaining to
advance premium deposits received through December 31st preceding the respective
Coverage Year. If Section A is not converted to Section B, Section B shall not
cover the original policies during the coverage time pertaining to advance
premium deposits received through December 31st preceding the respective
Coverage Year.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

If the amount of the Funds Withheld Account balance falls below $500,000 (five
hundred thousand dollars) on a specific Coverage Year the Reinsurers may
unilaterally and individually, for their respective interests, offer at any
time, for such Coverage Year, and the Ceding Company will accept, Additional
Section B Coverage upto 8% (eight percent) of cumulative SNWP excess of 150%
(one hundred and fifty percent) of cumulative SNWP in respect of covered losses.
In no event shall Reinsurers be liable for more than $200,000,000 (two hundred
million dollars) in the aggregate for Section B for each Coverage Year. The
$200,000,000 (two hundred million dollars) aggregate limit for each Coverage
Year shall be subject to the sub condition that no more than $20,000,000 (twenty
million dollars) in all (inclusive of Loss Adjustment Expenses) shall be
recoverable from Reinsurers in respect of losses emanating from a loss layer of
$7,000,000 (seven million dollars) each and every loss (inclusive of Loss
Adjustment Expenses) excess of $3,000,000 (three million dollars) each and every
loss (inclusive of Loss Adjustment Expenses).

If SNWP exceeds $300,000,000 (three hundred million dollars) in a particular
individual Coverage Year, then the Ceding Company shall participate in this
particular individual Coverage Year with the Reinsurers in losses otherwise
recoverable in the proportion calculated as follows:

Ceding Company's Share:      Amount of SNWP in excess of $300,000,000
                             ----------------------------------------
                                              SNWP

This proportion may be adjusted based on mutual consent of the Ceding Company
and Reinsurers for Coverage Years 2001 and thereafter.


                             ARTICLE 6: DEFINITIONS


A.      "Cumulative Subject Net Written Premiums" (SNWP) shall mean for the
        respective Coverage Year, the cumulative Net Written and Assumed Written
        Premium Income less cancellations and returns and less premiums paid for
        all other reinsurances for the Coverage Year, except for the
        Non-Traditional Reinsurance Agreements which shall be disregarded for
        the calculation of SNWP.

        If the Section A Quota Share Coverage is converted to the Section B
        Aggregate Excess of Loss Coverage, SNWP shall include all direct advance
        premium for the Coverage Year. If the Section A Quota Share Coverage is
        not converted to Section B Aggregate Excess of Loss Coverage, SNWP shall
        exclude the SNWP related to all the direct advance premium for the
        respective Coverage Year. Direct advance premium refers to all actual
        amounts collected by Ceding Company from its insureds in advance of the
        respective Coverage Year.

B.      "Non-Traditional Reinsurance Agreements" shall mean any reinsurance
        agreement which allows for Profit Sharing (or any other form of
        contractual adjustment) exceeding 25% (twenty-five percent) of initial
        reinsurance premium paid.

        Adjustment Expense, 90% (ninety percent) of Loss in Excess of Policy
        Limits and 90% (ninety percent) of Extra Contractual Obligations, and
        including losses incurred but not yet reported, all paid, payable or to
        be paid by the Ceding Company after making deductions for all
        recoveries, salvages, subrogations and all claims on inuring
        reinsurance, whether such reinsurance is collectible or not; provided,
        that in the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, payment by
        the Reinsurers shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the
        ARTICLE 21: INSOLVENCY. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that
        losses under this Treaty are not recoverable until the Ceding Company's
        Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained.

        Ultimate Net Loss shall exclude from coverage hereon, all combined
        Excess of Policy Limits and Extra Contractual Obligations liability in
        excess of $16,875,000 (sixteen million eight hundred and seventy five
        thousand dollars) any one loss occurrence or claim first made and
        $33,750,000 (thirty three million seven hundred and fifty thousand
        dollars) in the aggregate for each Coverage Year. Both of these amounts
        shall be after applying the 90% (ninety percent) factor for Excess of
        Policy Limits / Extra Contractual Obligations coverage. The $16,875,000
        (sixteen million eight hundred and seventy five thousand dollars),
        therefore, relates to $18,750,000 (eighteen million seven hundred and
        fifty thousand dollars) of Excess of Policy Limits / Extra Contractual
        Obligations liability from ground up in respect of a single occurrence
        and $33,750,000 (thirty three million seven hundred and fifty thousand
        dollars) relates to $37,500,000 (thirty seven million five hundred
        thousand dollars) of aggregate Excess of Policy Limits / Extra
        Contractual Obligations Ultimate Net loss for each Coverage Year.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
      POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS:                 MAXIMUM NET RETAINED LIABILITY

<S>                                           <C>
      Property insurance:
            Medical Office Policy             $   2,000,000 any one policy
            Other Property Coverage           $     500,000 each and every loss

      All Other Policies                      $  10,000,000 each and every loss
</TABLE>

                                       7
<PAGE>   8



The above figures pertain to indemnity only. Therefore, Net Retained Liability
would be increased in respect of pro rata Loss Adjustment Expenses. The Ceding
Company must obtain special acceptance from Reinsurers prior to exceeding the
above maximum Net Retained Liability.

Further more it is warranted that less than 5% (five percent) of the Ceding
Company's SNWP or $7,000,000 (seven million dollars), whichever the greater,
will originate from assumed reinsurance business other than from Lawrenceville
Re and LP&C.

</TABLE>

If Ceded Loss Ratios are between the above table loss ratios, the Actual
Consideration percentage of SNWP shall be pro-rated between the table Ceded Loss
Ratio values.

The Actual Consideration for each Coverage Year shall be equal to the cumulative
SNWP for each Coverage Year multiplied by the percentage determined by the above
narrative and table calculations.

For each Coverage Year, the Ceding Company shall credit the Funds Withheld
Account for this Actual Consideration less all prior payment of both Section A
Actual Consideration, if applicable, and Section B Actual Consideration
adjustments to date to Reinsurers providing that Section A is converted to
Section B. If the sum of the prior payments of Section B Actual Consideration
adjustments and Section A Actual Consideration exceed the Section B Actual
Consideration amount due, the Ceding Company shall debit the Funds Withheld
Account for such return Section B Actual Consideration adjustment. If, however,
Section A Quota Share is not converted to Section B, then Section A Actual
Consideration shall not be subtracted from Actual Consideration.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10



For each individual Coverage Year, all Section A Actual Consideration and
Section B Actual Consideration less Reinsurers' Expense Charge shall be withheld
by the Ceding Company in the Funds Withheld Account for the benefit of
Reinsurers.

All Actual Consideration adjustments and Advance Consideration shall be deemed
to be credited or (debited) from the Funds Withheld Account as of November 1st
of the preceding Coverage Year for Interest Credit purposes hereon. Therefore,
any adjustments to increase Actual Consideration shall result in an Interest
Credit from November 1st of the preceding Coverage Year to date for such
adjustment. Any adjustments to decrease the Actual Consideration shall result in
a reduction of Interest Credit from November 1st of the preceding Coverage Year
to date for such adjustment.

Additional Coverage Consideration

If Reinsurers offer Additional Section B Coverage, the Reinsurers shall be
entitled to an Additional Coverage Consideration equivalent to 60% of the
Additional Coverage provided. The Additional Coverage Consideration shall be
withheld by the Company and credited to the Funds Withheld Account as of the
November 1st preceding each Coverage Year for all purposes hereon including
Investment Credit. No Reinsurers' Expense Charge shall be due on such Additional
Coverage Consideration.


CEDING COMMISSION

Reinsurers shall allow a Ceding Commission of $1,200,000 (one million, two
hundred thousand dollars) to be due to the Ceding Company on November 1st of the
preceding Coverage Year. There shall be no increase or decrease to this amount
based upon loss experience under this Treaty. The Ceding Company shall debit the
Funds Withheld Account as of November 1st of the preceding Coverage Year for all
Ceding Commissions.


REINSURERS' EXPENSE CHARGE

The Ceding Company shall pay Reinsurers for each Coverage Year a Reinsurers'
Expense Charge equal to X%, as detailed in the table below subject to a minimum
amount of $1,575,000 (one million, five hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars) inclusive of intermediary commission, by direct payment to Reinsurers
hereon.

        For each Coverage Year, the provisional Reinsurers' Expense Charge shall
be $1,575,000 (one million, five hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars) as
respects Section A Advance Consideration for purposes of calculation and payment
upon consummation of this Treaty and on or about November 1st prior to each
renewal Coverage Year. The Reinsurers' Expense Charge on both the Section A
Actual Consideration and Section B Actual Consideration adjustments shall be
determined, redetermined and paid annually within 60 (sixty) days in arrears of
each calendar year end. Payments shall be made by direct payment from the debtor
to creditor party at such times.

        There shall be no interest paid to Reinsurers on Reinsurers' Expenses
Charge paid or refund of interest on Reinsurers' Expense Charge which is
refunded under this Treaty, upon return Actual Consideration adjustments, if
any.

                         ARTICLE 9: OFFSET AND SECURITY


A.      Each party hereto has the right, which may be exercised at any time, to
        offset any amounts, whether on account of Consideration or losses and
        allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses or otherwise, due from such party to
        another party under this Treaty, against any amounts, whether on account
        of Consideration or losses and allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses or
        otherwise due from the latter party to the former party. The party
        asserting the right of offset may exercise this right, whether as
        assuming Reinsurers or Ceding Company in this Treaty.

B.      Each party hereby assigns and pledges to the other party (or to each
        other party, if more than one) all of its rights under this Treaty to
        receive Consideration or loss payments at any time from such other party
        ("Collateral"), to secure its Consideration or loss obligations to such
        other party at any time under this Treaty ("Secured Obligations"). If at
        any time a party is in default under any Secured Obligation or shall be
        subject to any liquidation, rehabilitation, reorganization or
        conservation proceeding, each other party shall be entitled in its
        discretion, to apply or to withhold for the purpose of applying in due
        course, any Collateral assigned and pledged to it by the former party
        and otherwise to realize upon such Collateral as security for such
        Secured Obligations.

C.      The security interest described herein, and the term "Collateral", shall
        apply to all payments and other proceeds in respect of the rights
        assigned and pledged. A party's security interest in Collateral shall be
        deemed evidenced only by the counterpart of this Treaty delivered to
        such party.

D.      Each right under this Article is a separate and independent right,
        exercisable, without notice or demand, alone or together with other
        rights, in the sole election of the party entitled thereto, and no
        waiver, delay, or failure to exercise, in respect of any right, shall
        constitute a waiver of any other right. The provisions of this Article
        shall survive any cancellation or other termination of this Treaty.



                    ARTICLE 10: REPORTS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS


A.      Within 60 (sixty) days following the end of each calendar quarter, the

                quarter; plus

        b.      Any amounts credited or debited during the quarter for the
                following:

                                       13
<PAGE>   14



Interest Credit

For each Coverage Year, the Ceding Company shall credit the Funds Withheld
Account monthly at each month end with interest calculated by applying a monthly
rate equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the percentage stipulated below multiplied
by the actual daily average Funds Withheld Account balance for the respective
calendar month where the percentage equals:

7.254% if the 12 month U.S. Treasury Bill rate is 7.254% or less:

or

7.254 %+ 50% of the amount by which the 12 month U.S. Treasury Bill rate is
greater than 7.254%.

The 12 month U.S. Treasury bill rate to be used each year is the rate in effect
on the first business day of each year as reported in the Wall Street Journal on
the second business day of each year.

Interest Credit shall continue even in the event of the Ceding Company's
insolvency.

All Reinsurers' Expense Charges shall be deemed debited from the Funds Withheld
Account as of the November 1st preceding the applicable Coverage Year.


               ARTICLE 12: LIABILITY OF THE REINSURER AND CURRENCY


A.      The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Ceding Company
        in every case and be subject in all respects to all the general and
        specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications of the Ceding
        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 Treaty.

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

C.      All of the provisions of this Treaty involving dollar amounts are
        expressed in terms of United States Dollars and all Consideration and
        loss and allocated Loss Adjustment Expense payments hereunder shall be
        made in United States Dollars.


                             ARTICLE 13: COMMUTATION



The Ceding Company shall have the sole option, effective at any calendar year
end on or after December 31st of each Coverage Year to commute all ceded
liability outstanding hereunder in respect of a specific Coverage Year. At
Commutation, the Funds Withheld Account shall be dissolved and the Ceding
Company shall pay the entire amount of the respective Coverage Year Funds
Withheld Account to the Reinsurers hereon. The Ceding Company may offset the
payment of the Funds Withheld Account against the Commutation payment required
at such time.


                                       14
<PAGE>   15



Said payment shall constitute a full and final settlement of all terms of this
Treaty in respect of the specific Coverage Year; the Ceding Company will execute
a hold harmless agreement so stating and the Reinsurers will be thereby released
from all current and future liability hereunder for such Coverage Year.



                  ARTICLE 14: EXCESS OF ORIGINAL POLICY LIMITS



This Treaty shall protect the Ceding Company, within the limits hereof, for 90%
(ninety percent) of loss in excess of its original policy limits, such loss in
excess of the 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 an appeal
consequent upon such action.

For the purpose of this Article, the word "loss" shall mean any amounts for
which the Ceding Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not
been for the limit of the original policy.

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


                    ARTICLE 15: EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS


This Treaty shall protect the Ceding Company for 90% (ninety percent) of any
Extra Contractual Obligations within the limits hereof. The term "Extra
Contractual Obligations" is defined as those liabilities not covered under any
other provision of this Treaty and which arise from the handling of any claim on
business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited
to, the following: failure by the Ceding 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.

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

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

                        ARTICLE 16: ERRORS AND OMISSIONS


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


                          ARTICLE 17: ACCESS TO RECORDS


The Ceding Company shall place at the disposal of the Reinsurers at all times,
and the Reinsurers shall have the right to inspect, through its authorized
representatives, all books, records and papers of the Ceding Company in
connection with any reinsurance hereunder, or claims in connection herewith.

The Reinsurers agree that they will not disclose any confidential information
obtained by it hereunder to parties not subject to this Treaty except under the
following circumstances and then only as necessary:

A.      When disclosure of such information is required in the normal course of
        Reinsurers' business; or

B.      With the prior written consent of the Ceding Company; or

C.      When Reinsurers are required by a subpoena or court order to disclose
        such information. The Reinsurers shall promptly notify the Ceding
        Company of any attempt by a third party to obtain from it any such
        confidential information.

Reinsurers will provide the Ceding Company or its designated representative with
such information as Reinsurers and Ceding Company may agree is necessary to the
Ceding Company's handling of the business reinsured herein.

The obligations contained in this provision shall survive termination of this
Treaty.



                          ARTICLE 18: ACTUARIAL REVIEW


Should the Reinsurers desire at any time to review the loss reserves established
by the Ceding Company as respects Ultimate Net Losses, the Reinsurers shall
select an independent actuarial firm acceptable to the Ceding Company to perform
a reserve analysis. The costs of any reserve analysis performed under this
Article will be borne by the Reinsurers hereon. Such a review shall be subject
to the provisions of ARTICLE 17: ACCESS TO RECORDS.

              ARTICLE 19: LOSS RESERVE AND ADVANCE PREMIUM FUNDING


The Reinsurers will maintain appropriate reserves with respect to their share of
the Advance Premium and loss reserves ceded and required under the terms of this
Treaty which are reported by the Ceding Company on the Business Covered of this
Treaty.

During the Term of this Treaty the Reinsurers agree to provide a clean,
irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit in favor of the Ceding Company
issued by a bank acceptable to the Ceding Company adjusted to at all times be
equal to the ceded cumulative Ultimate Net Losses outstanding and Advance
Premium ceded hereunder less the Funds Withheld Account balance at such dates.
Such Letter of Credit shall be in the form, amount and with an acceptable NAIC
bank required to allow the Ceding Company to take Full Statutory Credit for
amounts recoverable under this Treaty.

The Ceding Company also agrees to not make drawings upon the Letter of Credit
provided by the Reinsurers for any purpose other than to reimburse the Ceding
Company for loss settlements due under this Treaty for which one or more of the
Reinsurers are in default by more than seven days and provided that the Ceding
Company shall give the Reinsurers three days written notice prior to making any
drawings.

The Ceding Company shall reimburse the Reinsurers for annual security cost equal
to 0.50% (zero point five percent) of the amount of the Letter of Credit issued
or maintained hereon as of each December 31st. The Reinsurers shall request such
reimbursement whereupon the Ceding Company shall make payment by direct wire
transfer to the Reinsurers. All such amounts shall not be deducted from the
Funds Withheld Account.


                    ARTICLE 20: FUNDS WITHHELD TRUST ACCOUNT


In the event that the Ceding Company experiences any one of the following
circumstances, the Reinsurers may require a Trust Fund, with an independent
bank, to be established for the purposes of collateralizing the Funds Withheld
Account hereon:

        1.      The Ceding Company's A.M. Best's Rating is downgraded below B+;
                or

        2.      The Ceding Company's combined statutory capital and surplus
                falls below $60,000,000 (sixty million dollars); or

        3.      The Ceding Company is acquired or becomes controlled or
                amalgamated with or has its shares purchased for the purpose of
                gaining control by any other party.

The Ceding Company shall fully and promptly comply with such request from the
Reinsurers. The Ceding Company shall transfer marketable assets with a market
value equal to the required Funds Withheld Account balance within 30 (thirty)
days from the Reinsurers' request to do so. The Ceding Company shall also
transfer additional assets to the Trust Fund, if needed, to maintain the Trust
Fund balance to be equal to the Funds Withheld requirement at each calendar
quarter end including the requisite Interest Credit required hereon.

                             ARTICLE 21: INSOLVENCY


A.      In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, the reinsurance
        under this Treaty shall be payable by the Reinsurers (on the basis of
        the liability of the Ceding Company) to the Ceding Company or to its
        liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.

B.      It is agreed, however, that the liquidator or receiver or statutory
        successor of the insolvent Ceding Company shall give written notice to
        the Reinsurers of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent Ceding
        Company 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 Reinsurers 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 Ceding Company or its liquidator or receiver or statutory
        successor. Accidental failure to give such notice shall not excuse the
        obligation unless Reinsurers are substantially prejudiced by the failure
        to give such notice. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurers shall
        be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Ceding
        Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a
        proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Ceding
        Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurers.

C.      Should the Ceding Company go into liquidation or should a receiver be
        appointed, the Reinsurers shall be entitled to deduct from any sums
        which may be or may become due to the Ceding Company under this Treaty
        any sums which are due to the Reinsurers by the Ceding Company under
        this Treaty and which are payable at a fixed or stated date, as well as
        any other sums due the Reinsurers which are permitted to be offset under
        applicable law.

                             ARTICLE 22: ARBITRATION


A.      As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event
        of any dispute or difference of opinion hereinafter arising with respect
        to this Treaty, it is hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or
        difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter
        shall be chosen by the Ceding Company, the other by the Reinsurers, and
        the 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. In the event
        that either party should fail to chose an Arbiter within 30 (thirty)
        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 (thirty) days following
        their appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three candidates within
        10 (ten) days thereafter, two of whom the other shall decline, and the
        decision shall be made by drawing lots.


                                       18
<PAGE>   19



B.      Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within 30 (thirty)
        days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall
        consider this Treaty 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. The decision shall be made
        in writing and will state the factual and legal basis supporting such
        decision. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be
        entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

C.      If more than one Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such
        Reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for the purposes of
        this Article and communications shall be made by the Ceding Company 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 Treaty from several to joint.

D.      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. Any
        arbitration shall be conducted in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.



                 ARTICLE 23: CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICE


If any intentional or unintentional change in the Ceding Company's processing or
payment of claims materially increases the Reinsurers' economic loss under this
Treaty from what the economic loss would have if there had been no such change,
the Reinsurers shall prepare, and the Ceding Company shall accept, an adjustment
of the portion of claims which is reimbursable, or any adjustments which will
make the Reinsurers' risk position equivalent to that which would have been
obtained under this Treaty if there had been no such change. The Reinsurers
shall have the right to use auditing techniques, sampling techniques, or to
otherwise investigate the nature and effect of any such change in administrative
practices or of any possible compensatory adjustment therefor. Any dispute with
respect to such adjustment shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in
ARTICLE 22: ARBITRATION.



                                ARTICLE 24: TAXES


The Ceding Company is solely liable for any Federal Excise Tax (FET) applicable
to this Treaty. Any FET to be paid shall be paid directly by the Ceding Company
to the taxing authorities and is in addition to the Consideration. No deduction
shall be made from the Funds Withheld Account.

<PAGE>   20



                           ARTICLE 25: SERVICE OF SUIT


It is agreed that in the event of the failure of Reinsurers hereon to pay any
amount claimed to be due hereunder, Reinsurers hereon, at the request of the
Ceding Company will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent
jurisdiction within the United States. The foregoing shall not constitute a
waiver of the right of the Reinsurers to commence any suit in, or to remove,
remand or transfer any suit to any other court of competent jurisdiction in
accordance with the applicable statutes of the state or United States pertinent
thereto. It is further agreed that this Treaty shall be governed by the laws of
the State of New Jersey.

It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made upon
Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, United
States of America and that in any suit instituted against any one of them upon
this Treaty, Reinsurers will abide by the final decision of such Court or any
Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.

The above named are authorised and directed to accept service of process on
behalf of Reinsurers in any suit and/or upon the request of the Ceding Company
to give a written undertaking to the Ceding Company that they will enter a
general appearance upon Reinsurers' behalf in the event such a suit shall be
instituted.

Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or District of the
United States which makes provision therefor, Reinsurers hereon hereby designate
the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer
specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor of successors in
office, as their 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
Ceding Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Treaty, and
hereby designate the above named as the person to whom said officer is
authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.


                            ARTICLE 26: NO ASSIGNMENT


The Ceding Company and the Reinsurers hereon hereby agree that neither party
shall have the right to assign its respective interests and liabilities,
including the Funds Withheld Account, under this Treaty.

Notwithstanding the above, this Article shall not restrict the Ceding Company
from making investments it deems appropriate.
