ARTICLE I




BUSINESS COVERED



By this Contract the Reinsurer agrees to reinsure the excess liability of the Company under its
Policies in force at the effective time and date hereof or issued or renewed at or after that time
and date, and classified by the Company as Property business which is defined as insurance which is
classified in the NAIC Annual Statement as fire, allied lines, inland marine, commercial multiple

	B.	 	Upon termination of this Contract, the entire liability of the Reinsurer for losses occurring
subsequent to the date of termination shall cease concurrently with the date of termination of
this Contract.




Page 1









 












	C.	 	Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall have the option to elect run-off coverage for
Policies in force at the expiration of this Contract. If the Company chooses to run off
liability, the Company will notify the Reinsurer prior to January 31, 2009. If run-off of
liability is chosen, the Reinsurer shall continue to be liable for Ultimate Net Loss incurred
by the Company under all Policies in force at the time and date of expiration until each
Policy’s next anniversary, renewal or expiration, but in no event shall the Reinsurer’s
liability continue for more than 12 months after the expiration date plus odd time, not to
exceed a total of 18 months. The premium for the run-off coverage shall be the premium rate
stated in paragraph A of the REINSURANCE PREMIUM ARTICLE times its Net Earned Premium for the
run-off period for the Policies in force as of December 31, 2008.






	D.	 	If this Contract expires while a Loss Occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, the

of this Contract, provided that no part of such Loss Occurrence is claimed against any renewal
or replacement of this Contract.





ARTICLE III




SPECIAL TERMINATION





	A.	 	The Company may terminate this Contract at any time by the giving of 10-days’ notice in
writing to the Reinsurer upon the happening of any one of the following circumstances:






	 	1.	 	A State Insurance Department or other legal authority orders the Reinsurer to cease
writing business; or






	 	2.	 	The Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation or

proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator,
trustee in bankruptcy or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its
assets or control of its operations; or
	 
	 	3.	 	The Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus has been reduced by whichever is greater,
either 25% of the amount of surplus at the inception of this Contract or 25% of the
amount at the latest anniversary, or has lost any part of, or has reduced its paid in
capital; or
	 
	 	4.	 	The Reinsurer has become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company,
corporation or individual(s) not controlling the party’s operations at the inception of

Reinsurer shall return the unearned portion, if any, less any commission allowed thereon, of

liabilities for loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses, whether known and unknown, on Policies
covered under this Contract. In the event the Company and the Reinsurer cannot agree on the
capitalized value of the Reinsurer’s liabilities on the Policies covered under this Contract,
the two parties shall mutually appoint an actuary to resolve the matter of valuation. If the
two parties cannot agree on the appointment of an actuary, a selection process based on the
ARBITRATION ARTICLE will be employed. Payment by the Reinsurer of the amount ascertained will
constitute full and final release of the Reinsurer’s liabilities hereunder.






	D.	 	The Company may request special funding for any Reinsurer’s participation if this Contract is
terminated for reasons set forth in subparagraph A.1-7 above. If the Company elects to
exercise its special funding option, said Reinsurer will, within 30 calendar days of the date
of the Company’s request to do so, provide the Company with a cash advance, trust agreement,
escrow account for the benefit of the Company, letter of credit, or a combination thereof

(including loss and loss expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer,

reported) and unearned premium, as if it were an unauthorized Reinsurer and subject to the
UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE ARTICLE. This paragraph D shall not apply to Reinsurers who, at the

location, the Company shall identify on its records at the time of acceptance by the
Company those individual Buildings and their contents that are considered to constitute
each Risk; if such identification is not made, all of the Buildings and their contents
situated at the same general location shall be considered one Risk.
	 
	 	3.	 	When there are known and named extensions of coverage involving other risk
locations (including but not limited to suppliers extensions, customer extensions and
interdependencies and whether triggered by physical loss at the risk location or another
location) that are included and formally recorded on the Company’s records at the time of

ARTICLE XVIII




UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (BRMA 55C)



(Applies only to a subscribing reinsurer who does not qualify for full credit with any insurance
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)





	A.	 	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 regulatory authority or set up
on its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set
up, it will forward to the subscribing reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such
reserves which is applicable to the subscribing reinsurer. The subscribing reinsurer hereby
agrees to fund such reserves in respect of known outstanding losses that have been reported to
the subscribing reinsurer and allocated Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto, losses and
allocated Loss Adjustment Expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the subscribing
reinsurer, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported, as shown in the statement
prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “subscribing reinsurer’s obligations”) by
funds withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit. The subscribing reinsurer shall have the
option of determining the method of funding provided it is acceptable to the insurance
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.






	B.	 	When funding by a Letter of Credit, the subscribing reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure
timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit
issued by a bank and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities
having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the subscribing
reinsurer’s proportion of said reserves. Such Letter of Credit 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 30 days (60 days where required by




Page 14









 






	 	 	insurance regulatory authorities) prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify
the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the
Letter of Credit extended for any additional period.






	C.	 	The subscribing reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the
subscribing reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any
time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and be utilized by the Company or
any successor, by operation of law, of the Company including, without limitation, any
liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company for the following purposes,
unless otherwise provided for in a separate Trust Agreement:






	 	1.	 	To reimburse the Company for the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations, the payment
of which is due under the terms of this Contract 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 subscribing reinsurer’s obligations under this Contract;
	 
	 	3.	 	To fund an account with the Company for the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations.
Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the
Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue
to the benefit of the subscribing reinsurer;
	 
	 	4.	 	To pay the subscribing reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims
are due under this Contract.






In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any Letter of Credit is in excess of the
actual amount required for subparagraph 1 or 3, or in the case of subparagraph 4, the actual
amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the subscribing reinsurer
the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because
of insolvency on the part of the Company or the subscribing reinsurer.




	D.	 	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.






	E.	 	At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly,
the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations, for
the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, in the following manner:






	 	1.	 	If the statement shows that the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations exceed the
balance of credit as of the statement date, the subscribing reinsurer shall, within
30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an
amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such
difference.
	 
	 	2.	 	If, however, the statement shows that the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations are
less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within
30 days after receipt of written request from the subscribing reinsurer, release such
excess




Page 15









 






	 	 	 	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.





ARTICLE XIX




NET RETAINED LINES (BRMA 32E)





	A.	 	This Contract applies only to that portion of any Policy which the Company retains net for
its own account (prior to deduction of any underlying reinsurance specifically permitted in
this Contract), and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also in computing the
amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of
that portion of any Policy which the Company retains net for its own account shall be
included.






	B.	 	The amount of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not
be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurer(s),
whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such reinsurer(s),
whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.





ARTICLE XX




TRIA INUREMENT





	A.	 	As respects any “insured loss,” as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002,
including the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, and any other extensions or
amendments thereto (“TRIA”), for which the Reinsurer makes a payment to the Company under this
Contract, the following provisions shall apply.






	B.	 	If the sum of






	 	1.	 	Financial assistance provided under TRIA to the Company and its affiliates, if any,
(as “affiliate” is defined in TRIA) with respect to all “insured loss” that applies to
each “program year,” as defined in TRIA and
	 
	 	2.	 	Amounts due from all reinsurance which the Company and its affiliates, if any,
purchase, including but not limited to this reinsurance, all other treaty reinsurance and
all facultative reinsurance, and whether collectible or not, under which there is a
recoverable for any such “insured loss”






exceeds the amount of the Company’s and its affiliates’, if any, gross “insured loss,” the
excess amount shall be allocated to the Reinsurer in the ratio that the Reinsurer’s liability
for the “insured loss” under this Contract bears to the total collectible reinsurance
recoverables for the “insured loss” under 2 above.



Page 16









 






	C.	 	Upon receipt of payment under TRIA by the Company and its affiliates, if any, the Company
shall pay to or credit the Reinsurer under this Contract with the Reinsurer’s share of such
excess amount determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph.





ARTICLE XXI




SPECIAL ACCEPTANCES





	A.	 	Business not within the terms of this Contract may be submitted to the Reinsurer for special
acceptance and, if accepted by the Reinsurer, shall be subject to all of the terms of this
Contract, except as modified by the Special Acceptance.






	B.	 	Renewal of Policies, which have previously received a Special Acceptance under prior
Contracts, are deemed to be covered hereunder.






	C.	 	Further, should a reinsurer become party to this Contract subsequent to the acceptance of any
business not normally covered hereunder, that reinsurer will automatically accept the special
acceptances as being part of this Contract.





ARTICLE XXII




MORTGAGEE REINSURANCE ENDORSEMENTS





	A.	 	To induce a mortgagee named in a policy of the Company to accept such policy, the Company and
the Reinsurer may agree to name such mortgagee as a third party beneficiary in a Mortgagee
Reinsurance Endorsement made a part of this Contract. For each such mortgagee Reinsurance
Endorsement so issued, the Company shall indemnify the Reinsurer for any and all liability,
loss, cost, or expense the Reinsurer may sustain or incur in excess of its obligations under
this Contract by reason of the issuance of such Mortgagee Reinsurance Endorsement.






	B.	 	If the Reinsurer becomes liable to a mortgagee under any Mortgagee Reinsurance Endorsement,
the Reinsurer shall, to the extent of its liability:






	 	1.	 	Benefit pro-rata in reductions of the Company’s loss by salvage, subrogation,
compromise, or otherwise.
	 
	 	2.	 	Be automatically subrogated to all of the mortgagee’s rights against the Company
under the policy.
	 
	 	3.	 	Be completely discharged from its obligation to make any payment to the Company
under this Contract and be entitled to set off against any amount due from the Reinsurer
to the Company under this or any other agreement for any amounts for which the Reinsurer
would not be liable except for the existence of such Mortgagee Reinsurance Endorsement.




Page 17









 












	C.	 	The Reinsurer shall have the right to cancel any Mortgagee Reinsurance Endorsement by notice
to the mortgagee.






	D.	 	Prior to the termination date, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer as to which of the
above options shall apply.





ARTICLE XXIII




THIRD PARTY RIGHTS (BRMA 52C MODIFIED)



Except for the provisions of the MORTGAGEE REINSURANCE ENDORSEMENTS ARTICLE, this Contract is
solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any other party have any
rights under this Contract except as expressly provided otherwise in the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE.




ARTICLE XXIV




SEVERABILITY



If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws or
regulations of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not

of such provision in any other jurisdiction.




ARTICLE XXV




GOVERNING LAW (BRMA 71A)



This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of
the State of Pennsylvania, exclusive of that state’s rules with respect to conflicts of law, except

ARTICLE XXVII




INSOLVENCY





	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to
the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, with
reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Company without
diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver,
conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any
claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory
successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim
against the Company indicating the Policy or bond reinsured, which claim would involve a
possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer, within a reasonable time after such claim is
filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during
the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own
expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that
it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory
successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the
approval of the Court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.






	B.	 	Where two or more subscribing reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in
interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in
accordance with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the
Company.






	C.	 	It is further agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance
under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except as provided by
Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except (1) where this Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company or
(2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such
Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under
such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.






	D.	 	In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies listed in the designation of
“Company” under this Contract, this Article shall apply only to the insolvent company or
companies.





ARTICLE XXVIII




ARBITRATION





	A.	 	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any irreconcilable dispute arising
out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Contract, including the formation or




Page 19









 






	 	 	validity thereof, whether arising before or after the expiry or termination of the Contract,
shall be submitted for decision to a panel of 3 arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration
will be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or such reputable
courier service as is capable of returning proof of receipt of such notice by the recipient to
the party demanding arbitration.






	B.	 	One arbitrator shall be appointed by each party. If either party fails to appoint its
arbitrator within 30 days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter, after
10 days notice by certified mail or reputable courier as provided above of its intention to do
so, may appoint the second arbitrator.






	C.	 	The two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, appoint an impartial third
arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. If the 2 arbitrators are unable to agree upon
the third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the Company shall petition the
American Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator. If the American Arbitration
Association fails to appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days of being requested to do so,
either party may request a district court judge of the federal district court having
jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if the
federal court declines to act, the state court having general jurisdiction in such area to
select the third arbitrator from a list of 6 individuals (3 named by each arbitrator
previously appointed). All arbitrators shall be disinterested active or former senior
executives of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London.






	D.	 	Within 30 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and
determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings. The
panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules
of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the
best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to
substantive law, it shall consider the law of the State of Pennsylvania. The decision of any
2 arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to
grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.






	E.	 	The panel shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable
insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible following the termination of the
hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.






	F.	 	If more than one subscribing reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common
questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all
such subscribing reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article
and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the subscribing reinsurers
constituting the one party; provided, however, that nothing therein shall impair the rights of
such subscribing reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, nor be
construed as changing the liability of the subscribing reinsurers under the terms of this
Contract from several to joint.




Page 20









 












	G.	 	Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear
with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. The remaining costs of the 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. However, the panel may not award any exemplary or punitive damages.





ARTICLE XXIX




SERVICE OF SUIT



(This Article is applicable if the subscribing reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of
America and/or is not authorized in any State, Territory or District of the United States where
authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities. This Article is not intended to
conflict with or override the obligation of the parties to arbitrate their disputes in accordance
with the ARBITRATION ARTICLE.)





	A.	 	In the event of the failure of the subscribing reinsurer to pay any amount claimed to be due
hereunder, the subscribing reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall 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 subscribing
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 subscribing reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court
is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by subscribing reinsurer or is
determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all
requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against it
upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court
in the event of an appeal.






	B.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon the agent for the service of process
(“agent”) named below, depending on the jurisdiction where the Company chooses to bring suit:






	 	1.	 	If the suit is brought in the State of California, the law firm of Mendes and
Mount, 445 South Figueroa, 38th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 shall be
authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing
reinsurer in any such suit;
	 
	 	2.	 	If the suit is brought in the State of New York, the law firm of Mendes and Mount,
750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 shall be authorized and directed to accept
service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit;
	 
	 	3.	 	If the suit is brought in any state other than California or New York, either of
the agents described in subparagraphs 1 or 2 above shall be authorized and directed to
accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit; or




Page 21









 






	 	4.	 	If the subscribing reinsurer has designated an agent in the subscribing reinsurer’s
Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto, then that agent shall be authorized
and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any
suit. However, if an agent is designated in the subscribing reinsurer’s Interests and
Liabilities Agreement and the agent is not located in California as respects a suit
brought in California or New York as respects a suit brought in New York, in keeping with
the laws of the states of California and New York which require that service be made on
an agent located in the respective state if a suit is brought in that state, the
applicable office of Mendes and Mount stipulated in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above must be
used for service of suit unless the provisions of paragraph C of this Article apply.






	C.	 	Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States
that makes provision therefor, the subscribing reinsurer 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 proceedings 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.





ARTICLE XXX




MODE OF EXECUTION



This Contract may be executed either by an original written ink signature of paper documents, by an
exchange of facsimile copies showing the original written ink signature of paper documents, or by
electronic signature by either party employing appropriate software technology as to satisfy the
parties at the time of execution that the version of the document agreed to by each party shall
always be capable of authentication and satisfy the same rules of evidence as written signatures.
The use of any one or a combination of these methods of execution shall constitute a legally
binding and valid signing of this Contract. This Contract may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which, when duly executed, shall be deemed an original.
