traceable to the same causative agency shall, at the Company’s option, be deemed to have been caused by one occurrence commencing at the beginning of the policy period, it being understood

operations of an insured shall not apply to exposures excluded under subparagraphs 1 though 5 of paragraph A above. The Company shall be the judge of what constitutes an incidental part of the insured’s operation. 


 

	C.	Except for subparagraphs 1 through 5 of paragraph A above, if the Company is inadvertently bound or is unknowingly exposed (due to error or automatic provisions of
policy coverage) on a risk otherwise excluded in paragraph A above, such exclusion shall be waived. The duration of said waiver will not extend beyond the time that notice of such coverage has been received by a responsible underwriting authority of
the Company and for a period not exceeding 30 days thereafter, or such longer period required to conform with any notice of cancellation provisions prescribed by regulatory authorities, such period not to exceed 12 months plus odd time (not

of the Reinsurer’s payment of a loss hereon, the reinsurance premium as calculated under this Contract is unknown, the calculation of the reinstatement premium shall be based upon the deposit premium subject to adjustment when the reinsurance
premium is finally established. 
  

	C.	Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed $40,000,000 in respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to $80,000,000
in respect of all losses occurring during the term of this Contract. 

 ARTICLE X 

SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE 
 From time to
time the Company may request a special acceptance applicable to this Contract. For purposes of this Contract, in the event each subscribing reinsurer whose share in the interests and liabilities of the Reinsurer is 20% or greater agree to a special
acceptance, such agreement shall be binding on all subscribing reinsurers. If such agreement is not achieved, such special

acceptance not be received within 10 working days of said request, the special acceptance shall be deemed automatically agreed. In the event a reinsurer becomes a party to this Contract subsequent to one or more special acceptances hereunder, the

settlement or otherwise, the cost of the annuity or the structured settlement, as the case may be, shall be deemed part of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss. 


 

	B.	The terms “annuity” or “structured settlement” shall 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 any or all future liabilities which may attach to it as a result of an occurrence. 


 

	C.	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

party to the other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise

 ARTICLE XXIV 
 RESERVES AND FUNDING 
  

	A.	A subscribing reinsurer will provide funding under the terms of this Article only if the Company will be denied statutory credit for reinsurance ceded to that
subscribing reinsurer pursuant to the credit for reinsurance law or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction. In the event any of the provisions of this Article conflict with or otherwise fail to satisfy the requirements of the appropriate credit
for reinsurance statute or regulation, this Article will be deemed amended to conform to the appropriate statute or regulation; the intent of this Article being that the Company will be permitted to realize full credit for the reinsurance ceded to
the Reinsurer under this Contract. 

  

	B.	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 Company and to the
insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. 

  

	C.	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 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. 


 

	D.	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; 


  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	16	 	










	 	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. 
  

	E.	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. 

  

	F.	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 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.


  

	G.	Should the subscribing reinsurer be in breach of its obligations under this Article, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Contract, the Company
may seek relief in respect of said breach from any court having competent jurisdiction of the parties hereto. 


ARTICLE XXV 

NET RETAINED LINES 
  

	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 



  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	17	 	










	 	
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 XXVI 

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

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 XXVII 

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 affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract
or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 ARTICLE XXVIII 

GOVERNING LAW 
 This Contract
shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of Louisiana, exclusive of that state’s rules with respect to conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which

 ARTICLE XXIX

	A.	The Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) approved by the Company, upon providing reasonable advance notice to the Company, shall have access at the offices of
the Company or at a location to be mutually agreed, at a time to be mutually agreed, to inspect the Company’s underwriting, accounting, or claim files pertaining to the subject matter of this Contract, other than proprietary information or
privileged communications. The Company shall determine the manner in which files shall be accessed by the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer may, at its own expense, reasonably request copies of such files and agrees to pay the Company’s reasonable costs
incurred in procuring such copies. 


  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	18	 	










	B.	If any undisputed amounts are overdue from the Reinsurer to the Company, the Reinsurer shall have access to such records only upon payment of all such overdue amounts.


  

	C.	If the Reinsurer makes any inspection of the Company’s books and records involving specific claims under this Contract and, as a result of the inspection the claim
is contested or disputed, the Reinsurer shall provide the Company, at the Company’s request, a summary of any reports, other than proprietary information or privileged communications, completed by the Reinsurer’s personnel or by third
parties on behalf of the Reinsurer outlining the reasons for contesting or disputing the subject claim. 


ARTICLE XXX 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information, and data provided to the Reinsurer by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent,
in connection with the placement and execution of this Contract (“Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential to the Company. 

  

	B.	Absent the written consent of the Company, the Reinsurer will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties, except when: 


 

	 	1.	The disclosure is to professional advisors or to authorized agents of the Reinsurer performing underwriting, claim handling, pricing, placement and/or evaluation
services for the Reinsurer; or 

  

	 	2.	The Confidential Information is publicly known or has become publicly known through no unauthorized act of the Reinsurer; or 


 

	 	3.	Required by retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this Contract; or 


 

	 	4.	Required by state regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records and/or financial condition; or 


 

	 	5.	Required by auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records in the normal course of business. 


 

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

  

	D.	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 of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company by written or electronic mail, reasonable advance notice of same prior to such release or disclosure and to use their reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in
maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	19	 	










	E.	The provisions of this Article will extend to the officers, directors, shareholders, and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, who have received Confidential
Information in accordance with this Contract and will be binding upon their successors and assigns. 


ARTICLE XXXI 

SUNSET AND COMMUTATION 
  

	A.	Ten years after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any Loss Occurrences attaching to this Contract which have not been finally
settled and which may result in a claim by the Company under this Contract. No liability shall attach hereunder for any claim or claims not reported to the Reinsurer within this ten year period. If a loss arising out of a Loss Occurrence is reported
during this period, all losses arising out of the same Loss Occurrence shall be deemed reported under this paragraph regardless of when notification of loss is provided. 


 

	B.	If both parties agree to commute the unsettled losses subject to the Contract, then the Reinsurer’s liability for all such unsettled losses shall then be commuted.


  

	C.	It is understood that commutation of all such losses shall be made using tabular reserving methods. For each loss, the nominal ultimate value of the Company’s
Ultimate Net Loss shall be established by projecting out future medical and indemnity payments and loss expenses by year based on appropriate trends and escalations applied to annual cost estimates. The Contract limit and retention (where
applicable) shall then be applied to the nominal ultimate value of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss to determine the nominal ultimate Contract loss. Mortality factors and discount factors shall then be applied by year to the nominal ultimate
Contract loss. The discounted, mortality adjusted projected annual loss payments shall be summed to determine the present value (“commutation price”) of the ultimate Contract loss. The medical escalation, discount and mortality factors are
described in paragraph C. 

  

	D.	The following factors shall be utilized in establishing the commutation price: 


 

	 	1.	Medical Escalation Rate 

 The
medical escalation rate shall be a reasonable estimate of future medical inflation. 
  

	 	2.	Discount Rate 


The discount rate shall be the annualized 10-year US Treasury Bill rate at the Valuation Date. 

 

	 	3.	Mortality Tables 

 Mortality
factors shall be based on the most recent mortality table at the Valuation Date from the “Vital Statistics of the United States” as published by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Factors for extension beyond age 85 shall also be included. 

  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	20	 	










	 	4.	Impairment 


Impairment factors shall be based on the individual claim characteristics. 

Any other method of calculating the commutation price of one or more losses subject to this Contract may be used as mutually agreed
between the Company and the Reinsurer. 
  

	E.	If the Company and the Reinsurer cannot agree on a commutation value, the effort can be abandoned. Alternatively, the Company and the Reinsurer may mutually agree to
settle any difference using a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an actuary within 30 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the
two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. All the actuaries shall be
regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers’ Compensation claims and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or members of the American Academy of Actuaries. All of the actuaries shall be independent of either party to this
Contract. 

  

	F.	The settlement agreed upon by a majority of the panel of actuaries shall be final and binding on both parties and set forth in a sworn written document expressing their
professional opinion that said value is fair for the complete mutual release of all liabilities in respect of such reserves. 

  

	G.	The Reinsurer’s commutation payment shall be due within 7 days following the date the Company and the Reinsurer agree to the commutation price. Such payment by the
Reinsurer shall constitute both a complete release of the Reinsurer of its liability for all losses, known or unknown, under this Contract, and a complete release of the Company of its liabilities and obligations, known or unknown, under this
Contract. 

  

	H.	This Article shall survive the expiration of this Contract. 

 ARTICLE XXXII 
 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 


  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	21	 	










	 	
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 payee 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 XXXIII 

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 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.	The Company shall have the option to either litigate or arbitrate where: 

  

	 	1.	The Reinsurer makes any allegation of misrepresentation, non-disclosure, concealment, fraud or bad faith; 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. 

  

	I.	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 and Enhanced Compensatory Damages.

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, and shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit; or 

  

	 	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

 ARTICLE IV 
 DEFINITIONS 
  

	A.	Act of Terrorism 

 “Act of
Terrorism” as used herein shall follow the definition provided under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) and as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (TRIEA) and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2007 (TRIPRA), together and including any extensions or replacement thereof, the “Terrorism Act.” 
  

	B.	Declaratory Judgment Expense 


“Declaratory Judgment Expense” as used herein shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with a declaratory
judgment action brought to determine the Company’s defense and/or indemnification obligations that are allocable to a specific claim subject to this Contract. Declaratory Judgment Expense shall be deemed to have been incurred on the date of the
original loss (if any) giving rise to the declaratory judgment action. 
  

	C.	Extra Contractual Obligations/Loss in Excess of Policy Limits 

  

	 	1.	Extra Contractual Obligations 


This Contract shall protect the Company for any “Extra Contractual Obligations” which as used herein shall mean any punitive,
exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages, other than Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, paid or payable by the Company as a result of an action against it by its insured, its insured’s assignee or a third party claimant, by reason of
alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith on the part of the Company in handling a claim under a Policy subject to this Contract. 
 An Extra Contractual Obligation shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the Policy. 

 

	 	2.	Loss in Excess of Policy Limits 


This Contract shall protect the Company for any “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” which as used herein shall mean an amount that
the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy as a result of an action against it by its insured, its insured’s assignee or a third party claimant. Such loss in excess of the limit
shall have been incurred because of 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 in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action. 
  

	 	3.	 This paragraph C shall not apply where an Extra Contractual Obligation and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits has been incurred due to an adjudicated
finding of fraud 



  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	4	 	










	 	
traceable to the same causative agency shall, at the Company’s option, be deemed to have been caused by one occurrence commencing at the beginning of the policy period, it being understood
and agreed that each renewal or annual anniversary date of the policy involved shall be deemed the beginning of a new policy period. 

  

	F.	Net Earned Premium 

 “Net
Earned Premium” as used herein is defined as gross earned premium of the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder, less the earned portion of premiums ceded by the Company for reinsurance which inures to the benefit of this
Contract and less dividends paid or accrued. 
  

	G.	Policy 

 “Policy” or
“Policies” as used herein shall mean the Company’s or Cooperative Mutual Insurance Company’s binders, policies and contracts providing insurance or reinsurance on the classes of business covered under this Contract. 

 

	H.	Ultimate Net Loss 


“Ultimate Net Loss” shall mean the actual loss, including any pre-judgment interest which is included as part of the award or
judgment, “Second Injury Fund” assessments that can be allocated to specific claims, Loss Adjustment Expense, 90% of Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, and 90% of Extra Contractual Obligations, paid or to be paid by the Company on its net
retained liability after making deductions for all recoveries, subrogations and all claims on inuring reinsurance, whether collectible or not; provided, however, that in the event of the insolvency of the Company, payment by the Reinsurer shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. 

Notwithstanding the definition of “Ultimate Net Loss” herein, the provisions of paragraph H of the COVERAGE ARTICLE as respects
the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance Association shall apply. 
 ARTICLE V 

TERRITORY 
 The territorial limits
of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Company’s Policies. 
 ARTICLE VI

	A.	This Contract does not apply to and specifically excludes the following: 

  

	 	1.	Reinsurance assumed by the Company under obligatory reinsurance agreements, except: 


  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	6	 	










	 	8.	As respects General Liability policies, exposures other than those identified below, as included in the General Liability section of the Company’s Commercial Lines
Manual: 

  

	 	a.	Class 97111 – Logging; 

  

	 	b.	Class 58873 – Sawmill; 

  

	 	c.	Class 59984 – Woodyard and Drivers; 

  

	 	d.	Class 95410 – Grading of Land; 

  

	 	e.	Class 45819 – Lumber Yard; 

  

	 	f.	Class 10073 – Repair Shops and Drivers; 

  

	 	g.	Class 43822 – Timber Cruiser; 

  

	 	h.	Class 99793 – Truckmen Not Otherwise Classified; 

  

	 	i.	Class 91591 – Contractors – Subcontracted Work Other Than Construction; 


 

	 	j.	Class 49452 – Vacant Land. 

  

	B.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, insureds regularly engaged in operations not excluded under paragraph A above, but whose operations may include one or more perils
excluded therein, shall not be excluded from coverage afforded by this Contract, provided said operations are incidental to the main operations of the insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, coverage extended under this paragraph for incidental
operations of an insured shall not apply to exposures excluded under subparagraphs 1 though 5 of paragraph A above. The Company shall be the judge of what constitutes an incidental part of the insured’s operation. 


 

	C.	Except for subparagraphs 1 through 5 of paragraph A above, if the Company is inadvertently bound or is unknowingly exposed (due to error or automatic provisions of
policy coverage) on a risk otherwise excluded in paragraph A above, such exclusion shall be waived. The duration of said waiver will not extend beyond the time that notice of such coverage has been received by a responsible underwriting authority of
the Company and for a period not exceeding 30 days thereafter, or such longer period required to conform with any notice of cancellation provisions prescribed by regulatory authorities, such period not to exceed 12 months plus odd time (not
exceeding 18 months). 

  

	D.	If the Company is required to accept an assigned risk which conflicts with one or more of the exclusions set forth in subparagraph 6 of paragraph A, reinsurance shall
apply, but only for the difference between the Company’s retention and the limit required by the applicable state statute, and in no event shall the Reinsurer’s liability exceed the limit set forth in the Coverage Article.


  

	E.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reinsurance falling within the scope of one or more of the exclusions set forth above that is specially accepted by the Reinsurer
from the Company shall be covered under this Contract and be subject to the terms hereof. 

  

	F.	Except for subparagraphs 1 through 5 of paragraph A above, should a court of competent jurisdiction invalidate any exclusion or expand coverage of the original Policy
of the Company, any amount of Loss for which the Company would not be liable, except for such invalidation or expansion of coverage, shall not be subject to any of the exclusions, conditions and limitations hereinafter set forth under this Contract.

	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	8	 	










	G.	As respects Employers Liability and General Liability, the maximum net subject Policy limit (except statutory where required by law) as respects any one Policy shall be
$2,000,000 or the Company shall be deemed to have purchased inuring excess facultative reinsurance for subject Policy limits in excess of $2,000,000. 

  

	H.	The Company shall be permitted to carry excess of loss reinsurance applying to Workers’ Compensation risks in the State of Minnesota, actual recoveries under which
shall inure to the benefit of this Contract. Such coverage shall be provided through the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance Association. Notwithstanding the treatment of inuring coverage in the definition of Ultimate Net Loss, the
liability of the Reinsurer for Minnesota Workers’ Compensation risks is not released. 

 ARTICLE IX

 REINSTATEMENT 
  

	A.	Should all or any part of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability be exhausted as a result of a Loss Occurrence, the sum so exhausted shall be reinstated from the date
the Loss Occurrence commenced. 

  

	B.	For each amount so reinstated, the Company agrees to pay an additional premium at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of the loss calculated in accordance with the
following formula: 

  

	 	1.	The percentage of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability exhausted for the Loss Occurrence; times 


 

	 	2.	The Net Earned Premium for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium). 


The dollar amount resulting from the multiplication of subparagraphs 1 and 2 above shall equal the reinstatement premium. If at the time
of the Reinsurer’s payment of a loss hereon, the reinsurance premium as calculated under this Contract is unknown, the calculation of the reinstatement premium shall be based upon the deposit premium subject to adjustment when the reinsurance
premium is finally established. 
  

	C.	Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed $40,000,000 in respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to $80,000,000
in respect of all losses occurring during the term of this Contract. 

 ARTICLE X 

SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE 
 From time to
time the Company may request a special acceptance applicable to this Contract. For purposes of this Contract, in the event each subscribing reinsurer whose share in the interests and liabilities of the Reinsurer is 20% or greater agree to a special
acceptance, such agreement shall be binding on all subscribing reinsurers. If such agreement is not achieved, such special

developments thereto which, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the Reinsurer. 

  

	C.	When so requested in writing, the Company shall afford the Reinsurer or its representatives an opportunity to be associated with the Company, at the expense of the
Reinsurer, in the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance, and the Company and the Reinsurer shall cooperate in every respect in the defense of such claim, suit or proceeding.

 All
reinsurances for which the Reinsurer shall be liable by virtue of this Contract shall be subject in all respects to the same rates, terms, conditions, interpretations and waivers and to the same modifications, alterations, and cancellations, as the

 ARTICLE XVI 
 ANNUITIES AT THE COMPANY’S OPTION 
  

	A.	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 cost of the annuity or the structured settlement, as the case may be, shall be deemed part of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss. 


 

	B.	The terms “annuity” or “structured settlement” shall 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 any or all future liabilities which may attach to it as a result of an occurrence. 


 

	C.	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 shall pay its share of any loss. 


ARTICLE XVII 

AGENCY AGREEMENT

 ARTICLE XVIII 

SUBROGATION 
 The Reinsurer shall
be credited with subrogation recoveries (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less Loss Adjustment Expense incurred in obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving
reinsurance hereunder. Subrogation recoveries thereon shall always be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary
loss. The Company, at its sole option and discretion, may enforce its rights to subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and may prosecute all claims arising out of such rights. 

ARTICLE XIX 

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

 ARTICLE XXIV 
 RESERVES AND FUNDING 
  

	A.	A subscribing reinsurer will provide funding under the terms of this Article only if the Company will be denied statutory credit for reinsurance ceded to that
subscribing reinsurer pursuant to the credit for reinsurance law or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction. In the event any of the provisions of this Article conflict with or otherwise fail to satisfy the requirements of the appropriate credit
for reinsurance statute or regulation, this Article will be deemed amended to conform to the appropriate statute or regulation; the intent of this Article being that the Company will be permitted to realize full credit for the reinsurance ceded to
the Reinsurer under this Contract. 

  

	B.	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 Company and to the
insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. 

  

	C.	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 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. 


 

	D.	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; 


  

					
	93948003-13 (1-1-13)	 		 	12-19-12
	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	16	 	










	 	
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 XXVI 

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS 
 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 XXVII 

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 affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract
or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 ARTICLE XXVIII 

GOVERNING LAW 
 This Contract
shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of Louisiana, exclusive of that state’s rules with respect to conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which
case the applicable rules of all states shall apply. 
 ARTICLE XXIX 

INSPECTION OF RECORDS 
  

	A.	The Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) approved by the Company, upon providing reasonable advance notice to the Company, shall have access at the offices of
the Company or at a location to be mutually agreed, at a time to be mutually agreed, to inspect the Company’s underwriting, accounting, or claim files pertaining to the subject matter of this Contract, other than proprietary information or
privileged communications. The Company shall determine the manner in which files shall be accessed by the Reinsurer.

	E.	The provisions of this Article will extend to the officers, directors, shareholders, and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, who have received Confidential
Information in accordance with this Contract and will be binding upon their successors and assigns. 


ARTICLE XXXI 

SUNSET AND COMMUTATION 
  

	A.	Ten years after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any Loss Occurrences attaching to this Contract which have not been finally
settled and which may result in a claim by the Company under this Contract. No liability shall attach hereunder for any claim or claims not reported to the Reinsurer within this ten year period. If a loss arising out of a Loss Occurrence is reported
during this period, all losses arising out of the same Loss Occurrence shall be deemed reported under this paragraph regardless of when notification of loss is provided. 


 

	B.	If both parties agree to commute the unsettled losses subject to the Contract, then the Reinsurer’s liability for all such unsettled losses shall then be commuted.


  

	C.	It is understood that commutation of all such losses shall be made using tabular reserving methods. For each loss, the nominal ultimate value of the Company’s
Ultimate Net Loss shall be established by projecting out future medical and indemnity payments and loss expenses by year based on appropriate trends and escalations applied to annual cost estimates. The Contract limit and retention (where
applicable) shall then be applied to the nominal ultimate value of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss to determine the nominal ultimate Contract loss. Mortality factors and discount factors shall then be applied by year to the nominal ultimate
Contract loss. The discounted, mortality adjusted projected annual loss payments shall be summed to determine the present value (“commutation price”) of the ultimate Contract loss. The medical escalation, discount and mortality factors are
described in paragraph C. 

  

	D.	The following factors shall be utilized in establishing the commutation price: 


 

	 	1.	Medical Escalation Rate 

 The
medical escalation rate shall be a reasonable estimate of future medical inflation. 
  

	 	2.	Discount Rate 

 The discount rate
shall be the annualized 10-year US Treasury Bill rate at the Valuation Date. 
  

	 	3.	Mortality Tables 

 Mortality
factors shall be based on the most recent mortality table at the Valuation Date from the “Vital Statistics of the United States” as published by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Factors for extension beyond age 85 shall also be included.

	Casualty Catastrophe XOL Contract	 	20	 	










	 	
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 payee 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 XXXIII 

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 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.	The Company shall have the option to either litigate or arbitrate where: 

  

	 	1.	The Reinsurer makes any allegation of misrepresentation, non-disclosure, concealment, fraud or bad faith; or 


 

	 	2.	The Reinsurer experiences any of the circumstances set forth in subparagraphs 1 through 7 of paragraph A of the SPECIAL TERMINATION ARTICLE. 


 

	C.	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

 ARTICLE XXXIV 
 EXPEDITED ARBITRATION 
  

	A.	Notwithstanding the provisions of the ARBITRATION ARTICLE, in the event an amount in dispute hereunder is $500,000 or less, the Company may elect to require an
expedited arbitration process with the use of a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will be chosen in accordance with the procedures for selecting an arbitrator in force on the date the arbitration is demanded, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and
Insurance Arbitration Society-U.S. (ARIAS). 

  

	B.	Each party’s case will be submitted to the arbitrator within 100 days of the date of determination of the arbitrator. Discovery will be limited to exchanging only
those documents directly relating to the issue in dispute, subject to a limit of two discovery depositions from each party, unless otherwise authorized by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause. 


 

	C.	Within 120 days of the date of determination of the arbitrator, the hearing will be completed and a written award will be issued by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will
have all the powers conferred on the arbitration panel as provided in the ARBITRATION ARTICLE, and said Article will apply to all matters not specifically addressed above. 


ARTICLE XXXV 

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, and 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:

		  	 Reinsurers’ liability several not joint.
  

The liability of a Reinsurer under this contract is several and not joint with other Reinsurers party to this contract. A Reinsurer is liable only for the
proportion of liability it has underwritten. A Reinsurer is not jointly liable for the proportion of liability underwritten by any other Reinsurer. Nor is a Reinsurer otherwise responsible for any liability of any other Reinsurer that may underwrite
this contract.

		
		  	The proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by a Reinsurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the
members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp. This is subject always to the provision concerning “signing” below.
		
		  	In the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, each member of the syndicate (rather than the syndicate itself) is a Reinsurer. Each member has underwritten a proportion of the total
shown for the syndicate (that total itself being the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). The liability of each member of the syndicate is several and not joint with other members. A member is
liable only for that member’s proportion. A member is not jointly liable for any other member’s proportion. Nor is any member otherwise responsible for any liability of any other Reinsurer that may underwrite this contract. The business
address of each member is Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA. The identity of each member of a Lloyd’s syndicate and their respective proportion may be obtained by writing to Market Services, Lloyd’s, at the above
address.

		  	Proportion of liability
		
		  	Unless there is “signing” (see below), the proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by each Reinsurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the
total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp and is referred to as its “written line”.
		
		  	Where this contract permits, written lines, or certain written lines, may be adjusted (“signed”). In that case a schedule is to be appended to this contract to show the
definitive proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by each Reinsurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). A definitive
proportion (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of a Lloyd’s syndicate taken together) is referred to as a “signed line”. The signed lines shown in the schedule
will prevail over the written lines unless a proven error in calculation has occurred.
		
		  	Although reference is made at various points in this clause to “this contract” in the singular, where the circumstances so require this should be read as a reference to
contracts in the plural.

		  	Whether before or after inception of the period of Reinsurance, the Reinsured may elect for the disproportionate signing of Reinsurer’s lines without further specific
agreement of Reinsurers.
