The Reinsurer's aggregate limit of liability with respect to all losses
occurring during the term of this Contract shall be limited, as set forth in the
schedule above, for the term of this Contract, and as outlined in the
Reinstatement Article.

Recoveries from the Company's underlying layers, if any, will not be deducted
when establishing Ultimate Net Loss for purposes of this Article.

In order for coverage to attach hereunder, all losses must be reported to the
Reinsurer within seven years after the expiration of this Contract (being before
October 1, 2012).


                                    ARTICLE 3

TERM

This Contract will become effective 12:01 a.m., Local Standard Time, October 1,
2004, and will remain in full force and effect for twelve months, expiring 12:01
a.m., Local Standard Time, October 1, 2005 applying to Loss Occurrences
commencing during the term of this Contract.

Should this Contract expire while a loss subject to hourly limitations covered
hereunder involving natural disasters or occupational disease (including
cumulative trauma) is in progress, the Reinsurer shall be responsible for the
loss in progress in the same manner and to the same extent it would have been
responsible had the Contract expired the day following the conclusion of the
loss in progress.

At expiration, the Company may opt for run-off until the earlier of the
expiration or next renewal of Policies in force at expiration, but in no event
longer than 12 months, plus odd time, not to exceed 18 months in all from the
date of the expiration of this Contract. The premium applicable to the run-off
period shall be at the rate set forth in this Contract multiplied by the Gross
Net Earned Premium Income earned during each calendar quarter of the run-off
period for Policies in force as of the expiration date of this Contract. Such
premium shall be payable no later than 30 days after the end of each calendar
quarter during the run-off period.

In the event this Contract expires on a run-off basis, the Reinsurer's liability
hereunder shall continue if the Company is required by statute or regulation to
continue coverage, until the earliest date on which the Company may cancel the
Policy.

       B.     Within 60 days following the expiration of this Contract, the
              Company will calculate, for each layer, a premium at the rates
              specified in the Premium Schedule above, multiplied by the
              Company's Gross Net Earned Premium Income. Should the premium so
              calculated exceed the deposit premium paid in accordance with the
              Deposit Premiums column of Paragraph A. above, the Company will
              immediately pay the Reinsurer the difference. Should the premium
              so calculated be less than the deposit premium, the Reinsurer will
              return to the Company the difference, subject to a minimum premium
              in accordance with the Minimum Premiums column of Paragraph A.
              above.

                                    ARTICLE 9

REINSTATEMENTS

As respects each layer, loss payments under this Contract will reduce the limit
of coverage afforded by the amounts paid, but the limit of coverage will be
reinstated from the time of the occurrence of the loss, and for each amount so
reinstated, the Company agrees to pay an additional premium calculated at pro
rata of the Reinsurer's premium for the term of this Contract, being pro rata
only as to the fraction of the face value of this Contract (i.e., the fraction
of the Reinsurer's limit of liability outlined in the Retention and Limit
Article) so reinstated. Nevertheless, the Reinsurer's liability hereunder shall
never exceed the fraction of the Reinsurer's limit of liability outlined in the
Retention and Limit Article in respect of any one


                                  Page 7 of 24
<PAGE>
(GUY CARPENTER LOGO)

Loss Occurrence and, subject to the limit in respect of any one Loss Occurrence,
shall be further limited to the Aggregate Limit of Liability for the term of
this Contract for each layer as outlined in the Retention and Limit Article by
reason of any and all claims arising hereunder.

If at the time of a loss settlement hereon the reinsurance premium, as
calculated in accordance with the Premium Article, is unknown, the above
calculation of reinstatement premium shall be based upon the deposit premium,
subject to adjustment when the reinsurance premium is finally established.


                                   ARTICLE 10

REPORTS

Within 60 days following the expiration of this Contract, the Company will
furnish the Reinsurer with the following information:

A.     Gross Net Earned Premium Income of the Reinsured for the term of this
       Contract.

B.     Any other information which the Reinsurer may require to prepare its
       Annual Statement which is reasonably available to the Company.

                                   ARTICLE 11

DEFINITIONS

A.     The term "Ultimate Net Loss" as used in this Contract will mean the
       actual loss paid by the Company or for which the Company becomes liable
       to pay, such loss to include expenses of litigation and interest,
       claim-specific declaratory judgment expenses, and all other loss expense
       of the Company including, but not limited to, subrogation, salvage, and
       recovery expenses (office expenses and salaries of officials and
       employees not classified as loss adjusters are not chargeable as expenses
       for purposes of this paragraph), but salvages and all recoveries,
       including recoveries under all insurances or reinsurances which inure to
       the benefit of this Contract (whether recovered or not), will be first
       deducted from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching
       hereunder.

       All salvages, recoveries or payments recovered or received subsequent to
       loss settlement hereunder will be applied as if recovered or received
       prior to the aforesaid settlement, and all necessary adjustments will be
       made by the parties hereto.

       For purposes of this definition, the phrase "becomes liable to pay" will
       mean the existence of a judgment which the Company does not intend to
       appeal, or a release has been obtained by the Company, or the Company has
       accepted a proof of loss.


                                  Page 8 of 24
<PAGE>
(GUY CARPENTER LOGO)

       The phrase "claim-specific declaratory judgment expense" as used in this
       Contract will mean all expenses incurred by the Company in connection
       with declaratory judgment actions that are brought to determine the
       Company's defense and/or indemnification obligations and that are
       allocable to specific Policies and claims subject to this Contract. Claim
       specific declaratory judgment expense will be deemed to have been fully
       incurred by the Company on the date of the actual or alleged loss under
       the Policy giving rise to the action.

       Whenever the Company is required, or elects, to purchase an annuity, or
       to negotiate a structured settlement, either in satisfaction of a
       judgment, or in an out-of-court settlement, or otherwise, the sum of:

       1.     the cost of the annuity or the structured settlement, as the case
              may be; and,

       2.     the amount of any expense or interest recoverable from the
              Reinsurer, in accordance with the first paragraph of this
              definition,

       will, subject to the other provisions of the Loss Occurrence definition,
       be deemed the Company's Ultimate Net Loss; however, the cost of any
       annuity may be included only if the issuer of the annuity has, at the
       time of the purchase of such annuity, a rating of B+ or better assigned
       by A. M. Best Co. Inc. or has been approved by the Reinsurer herein.

       The terms "annuity" or "structured settlement" will be understood to mean
       any insurance policy, lump sum payment, agreement or device of whatever
       nature resulting in the payment of a lump sum by the Company in
       settlement of all future liabilities which may attach to it as a result
       of a Loss Occurrence.

       In the event the Company purchases an annuity which inures in whole or in
       part to the benefit of the Reinsurer, it is understood that the liability
       of the Reinsurer is not released thereby. In the event the Company is
       required to provide benefits not provided by the annuity, for whatever
       reason, the Reinsurer will pay its proportional share of any loss.

       Errors and Omissions Insurance which may now or in the future be carried
       by the Company will inure to the benefit of this Contract, and any
       recoveries therefrom will first be deducted in arriving at the Ultimate
       Net Loss hereunder.

       Nothing in this clause will be construed to mean that losses are not
       recoverable hereunder until the Company's Ultimate Net Loss has been
       ascertained.

B.     The term "Loss Occurrence" as used in this Contract will mean any one
       disaster or casualty or accident or loss or series of disasters or
       casualties or accidents or losses arising out of or caused by one event,
       except that:

       With respect to natural disasters the term "Loss Occurrence" shall mean
       any one or more occurrences, disasters or casualties arising out of or
       caused by the perils described below (natural Acts of God) during any
       continuous period of 168 hours.

              tornadoes, cyclones, windstorms, hurricanes or hailstorms
              occurring during any continuous period of 168 hours, and arising
              from the same atmospheric disturbance.

       2.     As regards the peril of earthquake, "Loss Occurrence" shall mean
              all losses occasioned by earthquakes, including ensuing fire,
              flood or tidal wave occurring during any continuous period of 168
              hours.

       3.     As regards the following perils, "Loss Occurrence" shall mean all
              losses occasioned by the following perils during any continuous
              period of 168 hours:

              a.     Volcanic eruption.

              c.     Landslide/mudslide.

              d.     Meteors.

       With respect to natural disasters as defined above, the Company may
       choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours
       commences and if any loss is of greater duration than the above periods,
       the Company may divide that loss into two or more "Loss Occurrences,"
       provided no two periods overlap and provided no period commences earlier
       than the date and time of the happening of the first recorded individual
       loss to the Company in that Loss Occurrence.

       As respects an occupational disease or other disease (including
       cumulative trauma) suffered by an employee for which the employer is
       liable, such occupational disease or other disease (including cumulative
       trauma) shall not be covered under this Contract unless as a result of a
       sudden and accidental event of not exceeding 72 hours' duration. All such
       losses, subsequently arising out of such event and not otherwise
       classified except as occupational disease, shall be considered as one
       Loss Occurrence or may be combined with losses classified as other than
       occupational disease which arise out of the same event and the
       combination of such losses shall be considered as one Loss Occurrence
       within the meaning hereof.

C.     The term "Gross Net Earned Premium" as used in this Contract will mean
       the Gross Earned Premium of the Company's Policies reinsured hereunder,
       after adjustments for applicable rating bureau experience debits or
       credits, schedule or other underwriting credits or debits, Compensating
       Balance Plan credits, and premium discount; however, prior to dividends,
       deductible credits, self-insured retention credits for excess Policies
       over self-insured retentions, and any premium adjustments for loss
       sensitive Policies, less returned premium for cancellation and
       reductions, and less premium for reinsurance that inures to the benefit
       of this Contract.

D.     The term "Policy" as used in this Contract will mean any binder, policy,
       or contract of insurance or reinsurance issued, accepted or held covered
       provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE 12

NET RETAINED LINES

This Contract applies only to that portion of any insurances or reinsurances
covered by this Contract which the Company retains net for its own account, and
in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also in computing the amount
in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of
that portion of any insurances or reinsurances which the Company retains net for
its own account will be included, it being understood and agreed that the amount
of the Reinsurer's liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses will not
be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other
reinsurers, whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due
from them whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other
reinsurers or otherwise. It is also understood that the Company may carry Quota
Share reinsurance and underlying Excess of Loss reinsurance on its net retained
liability, recoveries from which will be disregarded for purposes of this
Contract.

The Company is granted permission to purchase facultative reinsurance for an
amount in excess of its net retained liability, recoveries from which will inure
to the benefit of the Reinsurer hereon.


                                   ARTICLE 13

LEGALITY

Should the law of a political entity having jurisdiction over a party to this
Contract be in conflict with a portion or portions of this Contract such portion
or portions will be amended to the extent necessary to conform with the law, and
the balance of this Contract will remain unaltered and binding between the
parties.


                                   ARTICLE 14

LOSS FUNDING

This Article is only applicable to those Reinsurers who cannot qualify for
credit by the State having jurisdiction over the Company's loss reserves.

As regards Policies 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 to set up by law it will forward


                                 Page 11 of 24
<PAGE>
GUY CARPENTER

to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such loss reserves which
is applicable to them.

The Reinsurer hereby agrees that it will apply for and secure delivery to the
Company a clean irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by a bank
chosen by the Reinsurer and acceptable to the appropriate insurance authorities,
in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's proportion of the loss reserves in respect
of known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer, allocated
loss expenses relating thereto and Incurred But Not Reported loss and loss
expense as shown in the statement prepared by the Company.

The Letter of Credit shall be "Evergreen" and shall be issued for a period of
not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from
its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless thirty (30) days
prior to any expiration date, the bank shall notify the Company by certified or
registered mail that it elects not to consider the Letter of Credit extended for
any additional period.

The Company, or its successors in interest, undertakes to use and apply any
amounts which it may draw upon such Credit pursuant to the terms of the Contract
under which the Letter of Credit is held, and for the following purposes only:

       (a)    To pay the Reinsurer's share or to reimburse the Company for the
              Reinsurer's share of any liability for loss reinsured by this
              Contract, the payment of which has been agreed by the Reinsurer
              and which has not otherwise been paid.

       (b)    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.

       (c)    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 expenses relating
              thereto, and Incurred But Not Reported loss and loss expense,
              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.
              It is understood and agreed that this procedure will be
              implemented only in exceptional circumstances and that, if it is
              implemented, the Company will ensure that a rate of interest is
              obtained for the Reinsurer on such a deposit account that is at
              least equal to the rate which would be paid by Citibank N.A. in
              New York, and further that the Company will account to the
              Reinsurer on an annual basis for all interest accruing on the cash
              deposit account for the benefit of the Reinsurer.

The bank chosen for the issuance of the Letter of Credit shall have no
responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made
by the Company or the disposition of


                                 Page 12 of 24
<PAGE>
[GUY CARPENTER LOGO]

funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order
of properly authorized representatives of the Company.

At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than
semiannually, 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 expenses relating thereto. If the
statement shows that the Reinsurer's share of such losses and allocated loss
expenses, and Incurred But Not Reported loss and loss expense, exceeds the
balance of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within thirty
(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 expenses, and
Incurred But Not Reported loss and loss expense, relating thereto is less than
the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within thirty
(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.

NOTE: Wherever used herein the term "State" shall be understood to mean the
state, province or Federal authority having jurisdiction over the Company's loss
reserves.

reinsurance business in the state of California, or that are reinsuring the
injury, disablement, or death portions of policies of workers compensation
insurance in the state of California under the class of disability insurance,
warrant that they will comply with all applicable provisions of California SB
2093 (California Insurance Code Sections 11690-11703, revised).


                                   ARTICLE 16

DELAYS, ERRORS OR 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, omission or
error is rectified upon discovery. Nevertheless, this Article shall not apply
with respect to loss reports rendered to the Reinsurer beyond the period
required to afford coverage in accordance with the Retention and Limit Article.

ENTIRE CONTRACT/AMENDMENTS

This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the business reinsured hereunder, and there are no understandings between the
parties other than as expressed in this Contract. Any change or modification to
this Contract will be made by written amendment to this Contract and signed by
the parties hereto.


                                   ARTICLE 18

ACCESS TO RECORDS

The Reinsurer or its duly accredited representatives will have access to the
books and records in the possession of the Company on matters reasonably
relating to this Contract at all reasonable times for the purpose of obtaining
information concerning this Contract or the subject matter hereof.


                                   ARTICLE 19

INSOLVENCY

In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract
shall be payable by the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Company
under Policy or Policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency
of the Company, 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 when the Contract specifically provides another payee of such
reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company or when the Reinsurer
with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy
obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees
under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to
such payees.

It is agreed, however, that the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent 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 Reinsurer may investigate such
claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding when such claim is to
be adjudicated, any defense or defenses which it may deem available to the
Company 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 as part of the expense of liquidation to the
extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company
solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

GUY CARPENTER

When 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 insolvent Company.

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


                                   ARTICLE 20

ARBITRATION

As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any irreconcilable
dispute between the parties to this Contract will be submitted for decision to a
board of arbitration composed of two arbitrators and an umpire meeting in
Seattle, Washington.

Arbitration shall be initiated by the delivery of a written notice of demand for
arbitration by one party to the other within a reasonable time after the dispute
has arisen.

The members of the board of arbitration shall be active or retired disinterested
officials of insurance or reinsurance companies, or Underwriters at Lloyd's,
London, not under the control or management of either party to this Contract.
Each party shall appoint its arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall choose an
umpire before instituting the hearing. If the respondent fails to appoint its
arbitrator within four weeks after being requested to do so by the claimant, the
latter shall also appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to
agree upon the appointment of an umpire within four weeks after their
nominations, each of them shall name three of whom the other shall decline two,
and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.

The claimant shall submit its initial brief within 45 days from appointment of
the umpire. The respondent shall submit its brief within 45 days thereafter, and
the claimant may submit a reply brief within 30 days after filing of the
respondent's brief.

The board shall make its decision with regard to the custom and usage of the
insurance and reinsurance business. The board shall issue its decision in
writing based upon a hearing in which evidence may be introduced without
following strict rules of evidence but in which cross-examination and rebuttal
shall be allowed. The board shall make its decision within 60 days following the
termination of the hearings unless the parties consent to an extension. The
majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon all parties to
the proceeding. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the board in any court
having jurisdiction.

Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and
equally bear with the other party the expense of the umpire. The remaining costs
of the arbitration proceedings shall be allocated by the board.

TAXES

A.     In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the
       Company undertakes not to claim any deduction of the premium hereon when

       state or territory of the United States of America or to the District of
       Columbia.

B.     1.     Each Subscribing Reinsurer has agreed to allow, for the purpose
              of paying the Federal Excise Tax, 1% of the premium payable hereon
              to the extent such premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax.

       2.     In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the
              Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct 1% from the amount of the
              return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover
              the Tax from the U.S. Government.

SERVICE OF SUIT

This Article applies 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.

It is agreed that in the event of the failure of the Reinsurer hereon to pay any
amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer hereon, 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 right 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.

It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made upon
Messrs. Mendes & Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829 and
that in any suit instituted against the Reinsurer upon this Contract, the
Reinsurer will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate
court in the event of an appeal.

The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on
behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company
to give a written undertaking to the Company that they will enter a general
appearance upon the Reinsurer's 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, the Reinsurer hereon hereby
designates 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, and hereby
designates the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized
to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

OFFSET

The Company or the Reinsurer shall have and may exercise, at any time and from
time to time, the right to offset any balance or balances whether on account of
premiums or on account of losses or otherwise, due from one party to the other
party hereto under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of
offset shall have and may exercise such right whether acting in the capacity of
assuming reinsurer or as ceding insurer.


                                   ARTICLE 25

LOSS NOTICES AND SETTLEMENTS

The Company will advise the Reinsurer promptly of all claims which in the
opinion of the Company may involve the Reinsurer and of all subsequent
developments on these claims which may materially affect the position of the
Reinsurer, such advices to include any claim for which the reserve is 50% or
more of the Company's retention and, irrespective of the reserve or of any
question on liability or coverage, any claim falling within the following
categories:

A.     Fatalities.

B.     Bodily injuries involving:

       1.     brain injuries resulting in impairment of physical functions,


                                 Page 17 of 24

[GUY CARPENTER LOGO]

       2.     spinal injuries resulting in partial or total paralysis of upper
              or lower extremities,

       3.     amputations of major limbs or permanent loss of use of upper or
              lower extremities,

       4.     severe burn cases.

C.     The Company will also advise the Reinsurer promptly as respects all other
       injuries which are likely to result in a permanent disability rating of
       50% or more, if in the Company's opinion such injuries will involve the
       Reinsurer.

Inadvertent omission in dispatching the aforementioned notices will in no way
affect the obligation of the Reinsurer under this Contract, provided the Company
informs the Reinsurer of such omission promptly upon discovery.

The Reinsurer agrees to abide by the loss settlements of the Company, it being
understood, however, that when so requested the Company will afford the
Reinsurer an opportunity to be associated with the Company, at the expense of
the Reinsurer, in the defense of any claim or suit or proceeding involving this
reinsurance and the Company will cooperate in every respect in the defense of
such claim, suit or proceeding.

The Reinsurer will pay its share of loss settlements immediately upon receipt of
proof of loss from the Company.

The Company may give the Reinsurer written notice of its intentions to pay a
loss on a certain date, and may demand payment of the Reinsurer's share of same
concurrently with payment by the Company to its insured(s), provided however,
the Company gives at least 15 days advance written notice of the date on which
the Company intends to pay the loss to its insured(s), demanding receipt of the
Reinsurer's share of such loss by such day.

The Reinsurer will pay its share of such loss notwithstanding any question or
objection it might have as to whether it is liable for its respective share of
such loss under the terms and conditions of this Contract, provided that the
Company has provided such information as is required to complete the loss
memorandum form with respect to such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
payment of such an amount claimed due by the Company will not constitute a
waiver of a Reinsurer's right to request any amount so paid be returned to the
Reinsurer if it is later found that under the terms and conditions of this
Contract the Reinsurer was not liable for such amount claimed to be due by the
Company. The Company immediately will return to any such Reinsurer any such
amount paid by the Reinsurer that the Reinsurer was not liable to pay under
terms and conditions of this Contract.

COMMUTATION

This Article will only take effect should the parties hereto mutually agree to
commute losses under this Contract. There will be no obligation on the part of
either party to so commute.

In respect of all losses known to the Company which may have not been finally
settled and which have exceeded the Company's retention under this Contract, at
any time after seven years following the expiration of this Contract and upon
mutual agreement of the Company and the Reinsurer, said loss (including loss
expenses) may be commuted. The amount so commuted will be based on the amount of
loss which exceeds the Company's retention, and will be determined by employing
one of the following alternatives:

A.     A present value calculation based on the following:

       1.     Indemnity benefits discounted for mortality and the time value of
              money. Medical benefits based upon the Company's evaluation of
              long-term medical care and rehabilitation requirements valued at
              current cost levels, escalated at the average Medical Care
              Consumer Price Index for the applicable region (CPIMC) and
              discounted for mortality and the time value of money. The average
              CPIMC will be taken over the five most recent (as of the time of
              commutation) September 30th values of the CPIMC.

       2.     The time value of money will be taken as the average five-year
              U.S. Treasury Note yield. The average will be taken over the five
              most recent (as of the time of commutation) September 30th values
              of the yield.

       3.     Mortality will be based on the most recent U.S. Life Table (at the
              time of commutation) unless medical evidence specific to an
              individual case indicates that a reduced life expectancy would be
              appropriate.

B.     The Company may purchase (or obtain a quotation for) an annuity from any
       carrier who is "A" Class VIII or better rated by A. M. Best Company.

The Reinsurer's proportion of the amount determined will be considered their
total liability for such loss and the lump sum payment thereof will constitute a
complete release of the Reinsurer from their liability for such loss.

The Company and the Reinsurer agree that, should a loss not in excess of the
Company's retention at the time of commutation subsequently exceed the Company's
retention at some future date, such loss may be subject to commutation on the
basis outlined above.

This Commutation Article will survive the expiration of this Contract.
