against it 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. 


 

	 	4.	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (or the equivalent under the Subscribing Reinsurer’s accounting system) as reported in such financial

from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder. 

  

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

	C.      1.	“Gross Net Written Premium Income” means written premium of the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder, less return premiums, and less the
written premiums ceded by the Company for reinsurance that inures to the benefit of this Contract. The Company’s maximum deduction for inuring reinsurance premiums, including reinstatement premiums, if any, shall be $62,500,000. For the purpose
of allocating inuring reinsurance premiums to the term of this Contract: 

  

	 	a.	the reinsurance premium paid by the Company for its Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract shall be allocated to the term of this Contract based on
reinsurance premiums, including deposits, adjustments and reinstatements, that are paid during the term of this Contract; Reinstatement premiums are deemed to be paid and earned in full as of the date of loss of the Loss Occurrence that triggered
the reinstatement premium. In the event that the Company elects to purchase a Reinstatement Protection Policy, the premiums paid thereunder shall be allocated to the term of this Contract, based on reinsurance premiums that are paid during the term
of this Contract. 

  

	 	b.	As respects the General Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract, the Company will calculate and accrue, as inuring ceded premium to this Contract, the General Excess of
Loss Reinsurance Contract actual ceded earned premium for the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. 

  

	 	2.	In the event the Company elects to non-renew the First Excess of its General Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract (the “First Excess”) at July 1, 2013,
the risk limits described in subparagraph B(2) and paragraph C of the Retention and Limit Article shall remain $500,000 as respects Property business and $500,000 as respects Casualty business. However, in such event, 2.0% of the Company’s
Gross Net Written Premium Income subject to the Second Excess for the period July 1 through December 31, 2013, shall be deemed to be inuring reinsurance premium that is to be deducted in calculating Gross Net Written Premium Income
hereunder. 

  

	 	3.	In the event the Company elects to retain a percentage participation (co-participation) in the First Excess of its Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
Contract, effective April 1, 2013, the exact proportion of the corresponding ceded premium retained by the Company, for the period April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, shall be deemed to be inuring reinsurance premium that is to
be deducted in calculating Gross Net Written Premium Income hereunder. 

  

	D.	“Policy” means any binder, policy, or contract of insurance or reinsurance issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of the
Company. 

  

	E.      1.	As respects Property Business, “Loss Occurrence” means the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of
disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event that occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the duration and extent of any one
“Loss Occurrence” shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours (except as provided in subparagraph (d) below) arising out of and directly occasioned by the
same event except that the term “Loss Occurrence” shall be further defined as follows: 

  

	 	a.	As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during
any period of 96 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. However, the event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous thereto. 


 

	 	b.	As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period
of 72 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in
respect of individual losses that occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an assured’s premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period. 


 

	 	c.	As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to above) and fire following directly occasioned by the
earthquake, only those individual fire losses that commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s “Loss Occurrence.”

	 	2.	Except for those “Loss Occurrences” referred to in subparagraph (1)(b) above, the Company may choose the date and time when any such period of
consecutive hours commences provided that it is not earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss provided that only one such period of
96 or 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event (except as provided in subparagraph (1)(d) above, where only one such period of 240 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event regardless of the duration of the
event). 

  

	 	3.	However, as respects those “Loss Occurrences” referred to in subparagraph (1)(b) above, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the event is of
greater duration than 72 consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or more “Loss Occurrences” provided no two periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than one such period and
provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss. 


 

	 	4.	Losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of the same event shall be considered as having arisen from one “Loss Occurrence.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated in subparagraphs (1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(c) above, shall not be exceeded as respects the applicable perils, and no single “Loss Occurrence” shall encompass a time
period greater than 168 consecutive hours (except as provided in subparagraph (1)(d) above). 

  

	F.	As respects Casualty business, “Loss Occurrence” means 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. The Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes one event. However, as respects Products and Completed Operations Liability, injuries to all persons and all damage to property of others occurring
during a Policy period and proceeding from or traceable to the same causative agency shall be deemed to have arisen out of one Loss Occurrence. 

 ARTICLE 11 
 EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS/EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS 

 

	A.	This Contract shall cover Extra Contractual Obligations, as provided in the Retention and Limit Article. “Extra Contractual Obligations” shall be defined as
those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract and that 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 Company to
settle within the Policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the
preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action. 

  

	B.	This Contract shall cover Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, as provided in the Retention and Limit Article. “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” shall be defined
as Loss in excess of the Policy limit, having been incurred because of, but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the Policy limit or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement
or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action. 


 

	C.	An Extra Contractual Obligation and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered under the Company’s
Policy, and shall constitute part of the original loss. 

  

	D.	For the purposes of the Loss in Excess of Policy Limits coverage hereunder, the word “Loss” shall mean any amounts for which the Company would have been
contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy. 

  

	E.	Loss Adjustment Expense in respect of Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be covered hereunder in the same manner as other Loss
Adjustment Expense. 

  

	F.	However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to final legal adjudication of fraud of a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate
officer of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

 ARTICLE 19 
 UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE 

 

	A.	This Article applies only to the extent a Subscribing Reinsurer does not qualify for credit with any insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Company’s reserves. 

  

	B.	The Company agrees, in respect of its Policies or bonds falling within the scope of this Contract, that when it files with its insurance regulatory authority, or sets
up on its books liabilities as required by law, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such liabilities applicable to the Reinsurer. The “Reinsurer’s Obligations” shall be defined as follows:


  

	 	1.	unearned premium (if applicable); 

  

	 	2.	known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto; 


 

	 	3.	losses and Loss Adjustment Expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer; 


 

	 	4.	losses incurred but not reported and Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto;

	D.	When funding by Trust Agreement, the Reinsurer shall ensure that the Trust Agreement complies with the provisions of the “Trust Agreement Requirements Clause”
attached hereto. When funding by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC 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 Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such LOC 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 (or such other time period as may be required by 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 LOC extended for any additional period. 

  

	E.	The Reinsurer and the Company agree that any funding provided by the 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 Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and that has not been otherwise paid;


  

	 	2.	to make refund of any sum that is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract (or in excess of 102% of the
Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement); 

  

	 	3.	to fund an account with the Company for the 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 Reinsurer. Any taxes payable on accrued interest shall be paid out of the assets in the account that are in excess of the
Reinsurer’s Obligations (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement). If the assets are inadequate to pay taxes, any taxes due shall be paid or reimbursed by the Reinsurer;


  

	 	4.	to pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

	F.	If the amount drawn by the Company is in excess of the actual amount required for E(1) or E(3), or in the case of E(4), the actual amount determined to be due, the
Company shall promptly return to the 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 Reinsurer. 


 

	G.	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. 

  

	H.	At annual intervals, or more frequently at the discretion of the Company, but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of
the Reinsurer’s Obligations for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method of funding, in the following manner: 

  

	 	1.	If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of the LOC as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt
of the statement, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the LOC increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference. Should another method of funding be used, the Reinsurer shall, within the time period outlined above,
increase such funding by the amount of such difference. 

  

	 	2.	If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of the LOC (or that 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less
than the trust account balance if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement), as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an
amendment to the LOC reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit. Should another method of funding be used, the Company shall, within the time period outlined above, decrease such funding by the amount of such excess.


 ARTICLE 20 
 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 making tax returns,
other than Income or Profits Tax returns, to any 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, the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed
under the Internal Revenue Code) 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 the applicable percentage of the premium from the amount of the
return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the Tax from the U.S. Government. 

 ARTICLE
21 
 ACCESS TO RECORDS 

The Reinsurer or its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to visit the offices of the Company to inspect, examine, audit, and verify any
of the Policy, accounting or claim files (“Records”) relating to business reinsured under this Contract during regular business hours after giving five working days’ prior notice. This right shall be exercisable during the term of
this Contract or after the expiration of this Contract. Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer shall not have any right of access to the Records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.

Further, the Reinsurer agrees not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose not related to the performance of its obligations or
enforcement of its rights under this Contract. 
  

	C.	Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Reinsurer is required by court order, other legal process or any regulatory authority to release or disclose any or all

provided for in this Article. 

  

	D.	The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and
assigns. 

 ARTICLE 23 
 INDEMNIFICATION AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer is reinsuring, subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, the obligations of the Company under any Policy. The Company shall be the sole judge
as to:

	 	3.	the amount or amounts that it shall be proper for the Company to pay thereunder.

Table of Contents



	B.	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance (or the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, if required by applicable law) shall
be payable directly to the Company, or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, either: (1) on the basis of the liability of the Company, or (2) on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation
proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the 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 pro rata share of the benefit that may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. 

  

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

  

	D.	As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to
the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Section 4118(a)(1)(A) of the New York Insurance Law, provided the conditions of 1114(c) of such law have been met, if New York law applies)
or except (1) where the Contract specifically provides another payee 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. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of
assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, or with the prior approval of such other regulatory authority as may be applicable, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer shall pay any
loss directly to payees under such Policy. 

 ARTICLE 25

	A.	Any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Contract, including the formation or validity thereof, shall be submitted for decision to a
panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration shall be in writing and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. 

  

	B.	One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall then choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. 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’ prior notice by certified or registered mail of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator.


  

	C.	If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within 60 days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the procedures
for selecting the third arbitrator in force on the date the arbitration is demanded, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society – U.S. (ARIAS). The arbitrators shall be persons knowledgeable about insurance and
reinsurance who have no personal or financial interest in the result of the arbitration. If a member of the panel dies, becomes disabled or is otherwise unwilling or unable to serve, a substitute shall be selected in the same manner as the departing
member was chosen and the arbitration shall continue. 

  

	D.	Within 30 days after all arbitrators have been appointed, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules of hearings.


  

	E.	The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Contract, the arbitrators may at their discretion, consider underwriting and placement information provided by the Company to the Reinsurer, as well as any correspondence exchanged by the parties that is related to this Contract. The
arbitration shall take place in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, or at such other place as the parties shall agree. The decision of any two arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it
may deem appropriate.

	F.	The panel shall interpret this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than as merely a legal obligation and shall make its decision considering the custom and
practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible after the hearings. Judgment upon an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 


 

	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.


 ARTICLE 26 
 SERVICE OF SUIT

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


 

	C.	In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to perform its obligations hereunder, the 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 Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is
selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the 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 the Reinsurer upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal. 


 

	D.	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, or another party specifically designated
in the applicable Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto. The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit. 


 

	E.	Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the 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 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.

interpretation by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, exclusive of conflict of law rules. However, with respect to credit for reinsurance, the rules of all applicable states shall apply.

prior or contemporaneous written agreements with respect to matters referred to in this Contract. This Contract may not be modified or changed except by an amendment to this Contract in writing signed by both parties.

 ARTICLE 29 
 NON-WAIVER 
 The failure of the Company or the Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this
Contract or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Contract nor prevent either party from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent either party from exercising
such remedy in the future.

	 	3.	Requires the Reinsurer, prior to depositing assets with the trustee, to execute assignments or endorsements in blank, or to transfer legal title to the trustee of all

 POOLS, ASSOCIATIONS & SYNDICATES EXCLUSION CLAUSE 

Section A: 
 This Contract excludes:

  

	 	a.	All business derived directly or indirectly from any Pool, Association or Syndicate which maintains its own reinsurance facilities. 


 

	 	b.	Any Pool or Scheme (whether voluntary or mandatory) formed after March 1, 1968 for the purpose of insuring property, whether on a country-wide basis or in respect
of designated areas. This exclusion shall not apply to so-called Automobile Insurance Plans or other Pools formed to provide coverage for Automobile Physical Damage. 

 Section B: 
  

	1.	This Contract excludes business written by the Company for the same perils, which is known at the time to be insured by, or in excess of underlying amounts placed in,
any Pool, Association or Syndicate, whether by way of insurance or reinsurance, formed for the purpose of writing any of the following: 

 Oil, Gas or Petro-Chemical Plants 
 Oil or Gas Drilling Rigs and/or 

Aviation Risks 
  

	2.	The exclusion under paragraph 1 of this Section B does not apply: 

  

	 	a.	Where the Total Insured Value over all interests of the risk in question is less than $250,000,000. 


 

	 	b.	To interests traditionally underwritten as Inland Marine and/or Stock and/or Contents written on a Blanket basis. 


 

	 	c.	To Contingent Business Interruption, except when the Company is aware that the key location is known at the time to be insured in any Pool, Association or Syndicate
named above, other than as provided for under subparagraph (a). 

 Section C: 

 

	1.	Nevertheless the Reinsurer specifically agrees that liability accruing to the Company from its participation in Residual Market Mechanisms, including but not limited to
the following, for all perils otherwise protected hereunder shall not be excluded herefrom: 

  

	 	a.	So-called “Beach and Windstorm Plans” and so-called “Coastal Pools”; 


 

	 	b.	All “FAIR Plan” and “Rural Risk Plan” business; 

  

	 	c.	Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Florida), Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation or any similar state-run insurance corporation;


  

	 	d.	California Earthquake Authority (“CEA”) or any similar entity. 

  

	2.	However, this reinsurance does not include any increase in such liability resulting from: 


 

	 	a.	The inability of any other participant in such Residual Market Mechanisms to meet its liability; 


 

	 	b.	Any claim against a Residual Market Mechanism or any participant therein, including the Company, whether by way of subrogation or otherwise, brought by or on behalf of
any insolvency fund (as defined in the Exclusions Article);

	 	e.	Any assessments, other than interim and regular assessments, from a Residual Market Mechanism included in subparagraph 1(c) above; 


 

	 	f.	Any expenditure to purchase or retire bonds. 

  

	3.	The Company may include in Ultimate Net Loss for any Loss Occurrence covered hereunder only the liability attributable to that Loss Occurrence. If the relevant entity
does not specify what portion of an assessment is attributable to each Loss Occurrence, the Company may include in Ultimate Net Loss in respect of each Loss Occurrence a percentage of the Company’s assessments from the relevant entity related
to the calendar year in which the Loss Occurrence commenced, regardless of when assessed, such percentage to be determined by dividing the relevant entity’s losses arising from the Loss Occurrence by its total losses for the calendar year.


  

	4.	The Company will deduct from Ultimate Net Loss amounts received as recoupment of any assessment that has been included in the Ultimate Net Loss, provided the recoupment
is directly allocable to the assessment (“itemized recoupment”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recoup such assessment. Any amount received as an itemized recoupment of any assessment (whether under this Contract
or any predecessor contract), and therefore deductible from Ultimate Net Loss, shall not be included in the subject premium of this Contract. 

 However, if a state levies assessments but does not allow itemized recoupment from policyholders, instead allowing the Company to file an overall increased rate, any such premium increased thereby shall
not be deemed to be a recoupment that is deductible from Ultimate Net Loss. Any recoupment received as part of a general premium rate increase, not specifically itemized, shall be included as part of the subject premium of this Contract or a
successor contract, as applicable.
