	B.	 	The Company’s retention and the Subscribing Reinsurer’s limit of liability for each Loss

shall apply
irrespective of the number of Policies affected or number of hazards in one Policy, except

or due and payable by the Company in the investigation, appraisal, adjustment,

under pooling agreements or other reinsurances, whether collectible or not. “Ultimate Net

	 	 	 	Reinsurance Addendum 1
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM08

 

 

	 	 	Expenses, a pro rata share of salaries and expenses of the Company’s or its
affiliates’ field employees according to the time occupied in adjusting, defending,
and settling such loss, and expenses of all of the Company’s or its affiliates’
officers and employees incurred in connection with the loss; (except that salaries of
officers and employees engaged in general management and located in the home office of
the Company or its affiliates and any office expense of the Company or its affiliates
shall not be included) and all other costs of investigation or litigation, (2) Extra
Contractual Obligations (as defined in the Extra Contractual Obligations Article), and
(3) Loss in excess of original Policy limits (as described in the Loss in Excess of
Original Policy Limits Article).
	 
	B.	 	“Claim-Specific Declaratory Judgment Expenses” shall be defined as fees and expenses
incurred in actions brought to determine whether the Company has a defense and/or
indemnification obligation for individual claims presented against Policies covered
under this
Contract. Any Claim-Specific Declaratory Judgment Expense shall be deemed to have been
fully incurred on the same date as the insured’s original loss (if any) giving rise to
the action,
unless otherwise provided for within this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	The term “Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses” as used above, means the fees and expenses of
attorneys, including the fees and expenses of the Company’s or its affiliate’s in-house
attorneys providing legal advice on coverage questions and/or defending the Company in
coverage litigation, and fees and expenses of staff counsel in the defense of
policyholder
claims. Such Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses for in-house attorneys and staff counsel
shall be
calculated at the rate for such attorneys plus the expenses incurred by such attorneys,
but
excluding office expenses of the Company and its affiliates and salaries and expenses
of their
other employees.
	 
	D.	 	“Post or Prejudgment Interest or Delayed Damages” shall mean interest or damages added
to a settlement, verdict, award, or judgment based on the period of time prior to or
after the
settlement, verdict, award, or judgment whether or not made part of the settlement,
verdict,
award, or judgment.
	 
	E.	 	Nothing in this Article shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not
recoverable until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. In the event a
verdict
or judgment is reduced by an appeal or a settlement subsequent to the entry of the
judgment,
thereby resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or in the event a
judgment is
reversed outright, the loss adjustment expense incurred in securing such final reduction
or
reversal shall be prorated between the Reinsurers and the Company in the proportion that
each
benefits from such reduction or reversal, and the expenses incurred up to the time of the
original
verdict or judgment shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss. In the event there is no
reduction or
reversal of a verdict or judgment, the loss adjustment expense incurred in attempting to
secure
such reduction or reversal shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss.

ARTICLE 7 — LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS (LM-01600-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof, for 90% of any Loss in
excess of
the Company’s original Policy limit where Loss in excess of the limit has been incurred
because of
a failure by the Company or by a third-party claims administrator 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 defending or prosecuting litigation, including appeals, arbitration, or any alternative
dispute
resolution or settlement discussions involving any claim.
	 
	B.	 	However, the above paragraph shall not apply where the Loss has been incurred due to the
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.
	 
	C.	 	With regard to excess of Policy limits, 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. The date on which any Loss in excess of the Company’s original Policy limit
is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the
original Loss Occurrence, accident, casualty, disaster, or Loss, as selected by the Company.

ARTICLE 8 — EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS (LM-00900-2007.03.28-A)

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof for 90% of Extra
Contractual
Obligations. “Extra Contractual Obligations” are defined as any actual or potential
liabilities not
covered under any other provision of this Contract, arising from or relating to any
alleged or actual
act, error or omission, whether intentional or otherwise, or from any alleged or actual
negligence,
tortious conduct, reckless conduct, violations of statutes or regulations governing the
conduct of
insurance companies and/or claims adjusters, or bad faith in connection with: (i) the
handling of
any claim under the Policies covered by this Contract, such liabilities arising because
of, but not
limited to, the following: failure by the Company or by a third party claims administrator
to settle
within the Policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith
of the
Company or by a third party claims administrator in rejecting an offer of settlement, or
in
defending or prosecuting litigation, including appeals, arbitration, or any alternative
dispute
resolution or settlement discussions involving any claim; or (ii) the providing of or
failure to provide
any loss control or loss prevention services in connection with any Policy hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The date on which any Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred shall be deemed, in all
circumstances, to be the date of the original Loss Occurrence, accident, casualty,
disaster, or
loss, as selected by the Company.
	 
	C.	 	However, this Article shall not apply where the Loss has been incurred due to the 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.

the Subject Earned Premium for the Business Covered hereunder, as stated in Paragraph D. of
Article I – Business Covered.

	A.	 	The term “ Earned Premium” as used herein is equal to the sum of the Net Premiums Written

less
frequently than on a quarterly basis.

(Bridgefield Casualty Insurance Company and Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company), the
minimum and deposit premium was multiplied by the ratio that the Subject Earned Premium of
each bore to the total Subject Earned Premium of the Company. The Company submitted
finalized accounts to the Subscribing Reinsurer in 2009, summarizing the actual Subject
Earned Premium for the previous year. The difference between the Annual Deposit premium
and the actual Subject Earned Premium was settled to/from the Company. However, the annual
adjusted premium was not less than the Annual Minimum premium for each layer, set forth
below:

ARTICLE 14 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2007.08.13-A)

	A.	 	A. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly

representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing
Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its affiliates, during
normal
office hours, the Company’s accounting, underwriting, or claim records and files, or any
such
additional relevant records and files, as they exist in the Company’s or its affiliates’
possession or
reasonable control, relating to business ceded under this Contract. The Subscribing
Reinsurer’s
notice shall reasonably describe the nature of the inspection that it wishes to conduct,
the persons
conducting the inspection and upon notice of available files from the Company, the files
that it
wishes to review. Subject to the limitations expressed in this Article, this right of
inspection shall
survive termination or expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either
Party has
any rights or obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or
files concerning any particular 

claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is more than ninety (90) days
overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an arbitration
demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable specific
requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer concerning such claims;
and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of the Subscribing Reinsurer
to seek discovery of relevant information in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing
Reinsurer, its
personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer shall
agree
to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer
(1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party
non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party consent
to
disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege or (4)
concerning
individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed by the Company
or its
affiliates (hereinafter referred to in the Contract as “Privileged Documents”). The
Company shall
reasonably try to exempt the Subscribing Reinsurers from any third party non-disclosure
agreement or obtain consent from the third party to disclose to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with
the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of
the case or
cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all claimants, and all parties to such
adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged Documents
if
there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that
claim or case,
which might jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by release of such
Privileged
Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer release of such Privileged
Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it will in consultation with
the
Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Subscribing

	 	 	Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company
without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The Subscribing Reinsurer,
however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to any dispute between
the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in

Privilege” shall mean communications of a confidential nature between a) the Company or its
affiliates, or anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or
their in-house or outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel,
and b) any in-house or outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by
the Company or its affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the
Company or its affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written
materials and tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared
by or for the Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with
litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 15 — AMENDMENTS

This Contract may be amended by mutual consent of the parties expressed in an addendum; and such
addendum, when executed by both parties, shall be deemed to be an integral part of this Contract
and binding on the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 16 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2007.05.03-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution
procedures that are
otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and any
Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of,
relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or tort and
whether arising
during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination, including disputes
as to whether
the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be submitted to the decision of an
arbitration
panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an umpire and two party-appointed
arbitrators unless a
Party meets the requirements of Paragraph C of this Article and demands arbitration
pursuant
thereto, in which case the Panel would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for
the resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel Version, dated
April
2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance Dispute Resolution
Task
Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance
with Alternative section 6.2 of the Procedures.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.)
as the list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is
invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be
impartial and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the
control of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or
officer of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in
the arbitration. The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the
Panel shall have the same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties and decisions
with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel members may have
been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of impartiality does not mean
that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or experience with respect to
issues involved in the dispute or disputes.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM08

 

 

	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends
to present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later
than the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party
could not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party
seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other
Party’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to
issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms
expressed in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty
insurance and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the
strict rules of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the
Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as modified
by
sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event that, in a
consolidated
proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking payment of a total
amount that is
no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the currency equivalent thereof.
Sections
16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the second sentence of section 16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined
Procedures shall not apply. The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures
to
appoint a single umpire, and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.)
as the
list to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties
mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming
any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered on any award.
If
such an order is issued, the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the
attorneys’
fees incurred of the Party who applied for the confirmation order and all court costs of
any such
proceeding.

	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any
participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any
single Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and
all disputes between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of
this Contract or any contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single
arbitration proceeding before a single Panel, except that the standard for
determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or dispute to an
arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a Position statement, as
set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company has the
right to combine any and all disputes between the Company and a single Subscribing
Reinsurer into a single arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such
disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts between the two
Parties, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new
issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more
than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this
Contract, where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of
conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided,
however, that the Reinsurers shall have the right to assert several, rather than
joint defenses or claims, and to be represented by separate counsel. This
provision shall not change the liability of each of the Reinsurers under the terms
of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to
this Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an
Alternative Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall
apply the law as set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Option to Litigate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, to
the extent that the
Company has demanded payment of a total amount of at least twenty million dollars
($20,000,000) or the currency equivalent thereof from any Subscribing Reinsurer or from
the Reinsurers, the Company reserves the right to initiate litigation to resolve any
disputes arising from such demand.
	 
	J.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Contract.

ARTICLE
17 — ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, OR TRANSFER (LM-00300-2007.10.05-A)

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that

jurisprudence, by either the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer, or as the result of the
actions of a parent company or affiliated entity of either, without the prior written
consent of the other. In the event of any assignment, novation or transfer, the assignor,
novator or transferor shall remain liable under this Contract, and further guarantees the

financial, underwriting, accounting, and claims information, data statements,

Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any review of Confidential
Information by the Subscribing Reinsurer, and/or discussion of Confidential Information,
the Company and its affiliates do not waive and do not intend to waive any available

Reinsurer and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its
affiliates shall not destroy, waive, or otherwise impair the proprietary and/or protected
status of any Confidential Information or any information revealed in such discussion
with the personnel of the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed
with the Subscribing Reinsurer intentionally or inadvertently, nor does the review of the
Confidential Information and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company
or its affiliates constitute an estoppel or waiver of the Company’s or its affiliates’
rights to assert the attorney-client or work-product privileges, or any other applicable
privilege or protection, over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its
affiliates’ files and/or certain information.
	 
	B.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree that no confidentiality obligations
will apply to Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information: (1)
is or becomes available to the public, other than as a result of impermissible disclosure

Reinsurer from a source, other than the Company, its affiliates or their personnel, that

be disclosed by law, regulation, court, or regulatory agency action, subject to Paragraph
E of this Article.
	 
	C.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to preserve all confidentiality and privilege
pertaining to all Confidential Information provided by the Company and all knowledge and
information gained through its review of Confidential Information or discussions with the
personnel of the Company or its affiliates. The Subscribing Reinsurer further agrees not
to disclose any such Confidential Information to any other person or entity except as
such disclosure may be necessary to its retrocessionaires, accountants, attorneys,
auditors, actuaries or third party catastrophe modelers or as otherwise required by law.
The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees that no Confidential Information is to be copied and/or
removed from the Company’s or its affiliates’ premises without the express permission of
the Company.

of non-public personally identifiable information shall comply with all state and federal
statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of non-public personally identifiable
information. “Non-public personally identifiable information” is financial or medical
information of or concerning a private person which either has been obtained from sources

demand pursuant to subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order, to disclose
Confidential Information (including Non-public personally identifiable information) that
has been provided by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand
and prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a
reasonable opportunity to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the
release of the Confidential Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the
reasonable requests of the Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist
release of the Confidential Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the
release of the Confidential Information.
	 
	F.	 	Survival. The parties agree that the obligations contained in this Article
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Contract.

reinsurance recoveries to the Company under this Contract and reimbursement under TRIA, and
such amounts, together with any other reinsurance recoveries to the Company for said loss
occurrence(s), exceed the total amount of “Insured Losses” to the Company, any amount in
excess thereof shall be held by the Company. The Company shall then reimburse the
Subscribing Reinsurer a portion of such excess recovery in an amount equal to the
proportion that the Subscribing Reinsurer’s payment under this Contract bears to the total
treaty reinsurance recoveries to the Company for Insured Losses for said loss
occurrence(s). Provided, however, that in no event shall such reimbursement exceed the
amount paid by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company under this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	For purposes hereof, if a loss reimbursement received by the Company under TRIA is based
on the Company’s Insured Losses in more than one loss occurrence and neither the Secretary
of the Treasury nor his delegate specifies the amount of loss allocable to each respective
loss occurrence, the reimbursement shall be pro-rated in the proportion that the Company’s
Insured Losses in each loss occurrence bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses
resulting from all loss occurrences to which the reimbursement applies.
	 
	E.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Insured Loss(es)” shall have the same meaning as set
forth in Section 102(5) of TRIA.

ARTICLE 25 — GOVERNING LAW (LM-01200-2005.06.02-A)

The validity and interpretation of this Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

ARTICLE 26 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2005.08.24-A)

(If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that
domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be
payable on demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed
against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator,
receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such
claims, without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (a) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(b) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the
Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any sums from the
deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of sections 11691
– 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 27 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing Reinsurer
or to the
Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the
Subscribing Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim,
and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is
not received within 45 calendar days following the date on which payment is due,
and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not
received within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this
Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus 2%. The
variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as published
in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each successive
month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%. The product shall then be
multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due and the interest
amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article shall be calculated
by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract.
If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect to the
amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party wholly or
partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be awarded as
outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the monies were due
and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and shall be payable as
of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall be waived. Any
waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not affect the waiving Party’s
right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by the other Party to make payment when
due under this Article.

ARTICLE 28 — LOSS ADJUSTMENT AND SETTLEMENT (LM-01500-2006.09.07-A)

	A.	 	The Company shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Subscribing Reinsurer of any
claim that it has reason to believe could involve this Contract. The Company shall keep the
Subscribing

	 	 	Reinsurer informed of significant developments likely to affect the cost of any claim or
claims hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The Company may commence, continue, defend, settle, or withdraw from actions, suits, or
prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which the
Subscribing Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial or
expedient to the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole judge
as to what claims are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss and Loss
Occurrences, as well as all loss settlements made and judgments paid by the Company,
provided they are within the terms of this Contract either under the strict conditions of
the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be unconditionally binding upon the Subscribing
Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable immediately upon
reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing Reinsurer by the
Company. The true intent of this Contract is that the Subscribing Reinsurer shall, in every
case to which this Contract applies, follow the settlements and the fortunes of the Company.
	 
	C.	 	The Company shall advise the Subscribing Reinsurer of all claims which:

	 	1.	 	Are reserved by the Company in excess of 50.0% of the Company’s retention.

ARTICLE 29 — MEDIATION (LM-03000-2005.12.20-A)

	A.	 	In the event of any dispute or difference of opinion arising out of or relating to this
Contract, including but not limited to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach
of this Contract, whether such dispute arises before or after the expiration of this
Contract, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer may mutually agree in writing that,
prior to or at any time during an arbitration proceeding, they will submit such dispute or
difference of opinion to non-binding mediation which will be held at a location mutually
agreed by the parties. The parties agree that any non-binding mediation conducted during any
stage of an arbitration process shall be conducted concurrently with such arbitration
process, and that the arbitration process or proceedings shall not be stayed unless both the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree.
	 
	B.	 	Each Party shall submit a list of not more than four (4) potential mediators to the other
party within the fourteen (14) days of reaching such mutual agreement. The two Parties shall
then agree on the appointment on one (1) mediator from the combined lists within seven (7)
days. The mediator shall be a neutral, impartial third party, without past employment or
directorial relationships with the parties to the mediation. Such mediator shall make full
disclosure of all past partisan relationships with either the Company or Subscribing
Reinsurer to the parties within seven (7) days of his or her notification that he or she has
been selected as a Mediator.
	 
	C.	 	If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on a mediator within twenty-one
(21) days from the date of a mutual agreement to mediate, then arbitration proceedings may
commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	D.	 	The mediator will schedule an initial mediation session within thirty (30) days of his or
her appointment and will be responsible for the formulation of an agenda to be distributed
to the parties involved in the mediation not less than five (5) days before the mediation
commences.
	 
	E.	 	The mediator will not have the power of enforcement of any agreement between the parties
nor will the mediator have any right to assess any damages, including punitive damages, to
either party participating in the mediation.

	F.	 	If, in the opinion of the mediator, the parties cannot resolve the dispute or difference of
opinion, arbitration proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article. In
any event, the mediation shall conclude within sixty (60) days of its referral to the
mediator. Should the mediation not be resolved in sixty (60) days, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	G.	 	Each Party shall bear the expense of its own representatives and shall jointly and equally
bear with the other Party the expenses of the mediator and the place of mediation.

ARTICLE 30 — OFFSET (LM-01700-2005.06.02-A)

Each Party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other).
Such offset may include balances due under this Contract, and any other contracts between the
parties, whether such balances arises from premium, losses, or otherwise, and regardless of the
capacity of any party, whether as assuming and/or ceding insurer, under the various reinsurance
contracts involved, provided however, that in the event of insolvency of a Party hereto, offsets
shall only be allowed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law, statute, or
regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 31 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2007.10.10-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under the
Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled. Without
first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not, either directly
or as the result of an action of a parent company or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or
foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer
to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any
estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. It is
further expressly understood and agreed that in the event the Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to
require the Company to settle their claims liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall
continue to have the right to utilize or to draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under
the terms of this Contract. This Article does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer from settling any claims liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to
both parties. This Article shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and
the Subscribing Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

ARTICLE 32 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2006.09.12-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to waive such rights in the settlement
of a disputed claim, or the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the
Company enforces the right to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims
arising out of such right. Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the
Subscribing Reinsurer is hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in
the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation

	 	 	recovery, the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery
is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 33 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2005.08.24-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized Reinsurers and to Reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit
instituted against any of them upon this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such
Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon; Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750 Seventh Avenue,
New York, NY 10019-6829.)
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the above-named as the person to whom the
said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 34 — SEVERABILITY (LM-02000-2005.06.02-A)

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

	F.	 	The coverage afforded by this Contract shall cease as of the date of termination and the
Subscribing Reinsurer shall return the unearned premium, if any. If coverage hereunder
terminates while a claim covered by this Contract is in progress, the Subscribing Reinsurer

Policies covered by this Contract as of the effective date of termination.

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing the elements
considered reasonable to establish the Commutation Losses, and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested. In the event the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the statement of valuation of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s liability under such Policies, either party may request in writing that
the differences be settled by a panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint
an actuary to assess such liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
written request for commutation. Upon such appointment, the two actuaries shall
appoint a third actuary. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary
within thirty (30) days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three
individuals, of whom the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be
made by drawing lots. The actuaries shall then investigate and capitalize such
Commutation Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “capitalize” shall
mean to determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.
	 
	 	2.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the commutation
shall be equally divided between the parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	3.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with the parties
hereto, shall be final and binding, except that if the Company does not agree with
the capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no
obligation to commute. In the event the Company does not agree with the capitalized
value of the Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the
expense of the actuaries including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by
the Subscribing Reinsurer will be paid by the Company. If the Contract is commuted,
payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party
mutually agreed upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a
complete and final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability
under this Contract.

	H.	 	Termination under the terms of this Article can be made after the date of expiration of
this Contract.

ARTICLE
36 — THIRD PARTIES (LM-02700-2005.09.27-A)

This Contract shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any third party whatsoever
unless said right or remedy is specifically granted to such third party by the terms of this
Contract.

ARTICLE 37 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2006.10.26-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the
Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on
its books reserves for unearned premium and 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 unearned premium,
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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared
by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by funds
withheld, cash advances, or Letters of Credit unless the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method of funding is determined by applicable law,
statute, or regulation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall agree to fund such Subscribing
Reinsurer Obligations by Letters of Credit.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and
secure timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of
Credit issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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 Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year,
and shall be automatically extended for one year from their date of expiration or any
future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall
notify the Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the
Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of
the following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of premiums
returned to the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract because of
cancellations of the Policies;
	 
	 	2.	 	To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company under provisions of the
Policies reinsured under this Contract;
	 
	 	3.	 	To fund an account with the Company in an amount at least equal to the
deduction for reinsurance ceded from the Company’s liabilities for Policies ceded
under this Contract. The account shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for
Policy reserves, claims and

	 	 	 	losses incurred (including losses incurred but not reported), loss adjustment
expenses, and unearned premium reserves; and
	 
	 	4.	 	To pay any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

	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 at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letters 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 Letters 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
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such
excess credit.

	F.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers
(“Party”, individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or
concerning this Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator
Program. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the ARIAS Newer Arbitrator Program expedited
proceeding with a single Newer Arbitrator shall be used to resolve any such disputes.

the insureds.
	 
	B.	 	Any such Policy shall have been issued prior to loss on the same form and at the same
premium as
if the insured and the Company were dealing at arm’s length and claims, if any, under such
Policy
shall be settled strictly in accordance with the Policy conditions.

	A.	 	The term “Ultimate Net Loss” as used in this Contract shall mean: (1) all amounts paid or
due and
payable by the Company in the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation,

appeal, or payment of claims or judgments arising from each and every loss occurrence for
which

	 	 	Declaratory Judgment Expense shall be deemed to have been fully incurred on the same

provided for within this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	The term “Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses” as used above, means the fees and expenses of
attorneys, including the fees and expenses of the Company’s or its affiliates’ in-house

employees.
	 
	D.	 	“Post or Prejudgment Interest or Delayed Damages” shall mean interest or damages added to a
settlement, verdict, award, or judgment based on the period of time prior to or after the
settlement,
verdict, award, or judgment whether or not made part of the settlement, verdict, award, or
judgment.
	 
	F.	 	Nothing in this Article shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not
recoverable
until the Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. In the event a verdict or judgment is
reduced by an appeal or a settlement subsequent to the entry of the judgment, thereby
resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or in the event a judgment is
reversed outright, the loss adjustment expense incurred in securing such final reduction or
reversal shall be prorated between the Reinsurers and the Company in the proportion that
each benefits from such reduction or reversal, and the expenses incurred up to the time of
the original verdict or judgment shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss. In the event there
is no reduction or reversal of a verdict or judgment, the loss adjustment expense incurred
in attempting to secure such reduction or reversal shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss.

ARTICLE 9 — LOSS ADJUSTMENT AND SETTLEMENT (LM-01500-2006.09.07-A)

	A.	 	The Company shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Subscribing Reinsurer of any
claim
that it has reason to believe could involve this Contract. The Company shall keep the
Subscribing
Reinsurer informed of significant developments likely to affect the cost of any claim or
claims
hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The Company may commence, continue, defend, settle, or withdraw from actions, suits, or
prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which the
Subscribing
Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial or expedient to
the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole judge as to what
claims
are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss, as well as all loss
settlements made
and judgments paid by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this Contract
either
under the strict conditions of the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be
unconditionally binding
upon the Subscribing Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable
immediately upon reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing
Reinsurer by the Company. The true intent of this Contract is that the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall,
in every case to which this Contract applies, follow the settlements of the Company.

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof for ninety percent

	A.	 	Eighty-four (84) months after the expiry of this Contract, the Company shall advise the
Subscribing
Reinsurer of any loss occurrence which may not have been finally settled and which may

	 	c.	 	For all future medical costs, projected cash payments shall be based
upon projected long-term medical care and rehabilitation requirements, using
the average annual Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation rate of the
past twenty (20) years using the most recent published tables, going back
twenty (20) years.
	 
	 	d.	 	For all future indemnity costs, projected cash payments shall
be calculated based upon the average historical actual Cost-Of-Living
Adjustment (COLA) over, however many years of information are available, but
no more than twenty (20) years; up through the most recent published data that
is available from the State or Federal governing body over Workers
Compensation, whichever may apply.
	 
	 	e.	 	The annual interest discount percentage shall be calculated as
the average yield to maturity of all United States Treasury Bonds maturing
during the calendar quarter that is fifteen (15) years after the calendar
quarter in which the commutation date falls.
	 
	 	f.	 	The final claim shall be the amount of cash payments made,
plus the discounted present value of the future payments as determined by the
above calculations. The final claim with respect to each injured worker or
fatality shall then be capped at $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 as respects the
coverage provided in Exhibit A). The resulting individual values shall then be
summed together. The Company’s retention shall then be subtracted from this
amount and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay up to the per occurrence limit
afforded under this Contract.

	B.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer are unable to reach a settlement
following the criteria laid out in steps A.1.a-f above, then the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall, within four (4) weeks from the written request of one of the parties,
mutually appoint an independent actuarial consulting firm or, in the event that they fail to
agree on the selection of an independent actuarial consulting firm within four (4) weeks,
each party shall name three independent actuarial consulting firms of which the other party
shall decline two, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. The appointed independent
actuarial consulting firm shall investigate, determine, and value the Loss Occurrence. The
valuation of such Loss Occurrence shall use the assumptions and methodologies as stated
above. The independent actuarial consulting firm’s decisions to the valuation of such final
claim shall be final and binding.
	 
	C.	 	Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed
upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company of the final claim as determined by the
procedures described above, in respect of each such Loss Occurrence shall constitute complete
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer from liability for each such Loss Occurrence.

ARTICLE 14 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2006.09.12-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the settlement of a disputed claim, or the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the Company shall enforce the
right to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right.
Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is
hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogations recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation recovery, the

	 	 	expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total
Loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery
is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the Loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that Loss.

ARTICLE 15 — CURRENCY (LM-00500-2005.08.09)

Whenever a reference to a monetary currency appears in this Contract, it shall be construed to
mean United States Dollars (“USD”). All payments made by either party shall be made in United
States Dollars. All amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be
converted into United States Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date at which it is entered on
the books of the Company.

ARTICLE 16 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2007.08.13-A)

	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly
authorized representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its affiliates,
during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting, or claim records
and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they exist in the Company’s
or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to business ceded under this
Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably describe the nature of the
inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting the inspection and upon notice
of available files from the Company, the files that it wishes to review. Subject to the
limitations expressed in this Article, this right of inspection shall survive termination or
expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either Party has any rights or
obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or files
concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is more than ninety (90) days
overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an
arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable
specific requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer
concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of
the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant information in an arbitration
proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer,
its personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer (1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party
consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege
or (4) concerning individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed
by the Company or its affiliates (hereinafter referred to in the Contract as “Privileged
Documents”). The Company shall reasonably try to exempt the Subscribing Reinsurers from any
third party non-disclosure agreement or obtain consent from the third party to disclose to
the Subscribing Reinsurers.

	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of the
case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all claimants, and all parties to
such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged
Documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect
to that claim or case, which might jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by
release of such Privileged Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer
release of such Privileged Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it
will in consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary
to provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to
indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The
Subscribing Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to
any dispute between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in Section
1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney–Client Privilege” shall
mean communications of a confidential nature between 1) the Company or its affiliates, or
anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or their in-house or
outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel, and 2) any in-house or
outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by the Company or its
affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the Company or its
affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written materials and
tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared by or for the
Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with litigation, arbitration,
or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 17 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (LM-00800-2005.06.02-A)

	A.	 	Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with the terms and conditions of this
Contract 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
delay, omission, or error is rectified upon discovery.
	 
	B.	 	However, this Article shall not override the application of the commutation of losses as set
forth in Commutation Article.

ARTICLE 18 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2005.08.24-A)

(If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that
domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable
on demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against
the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (1) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(2) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of

	 	 	the Subscribing Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the
obligations of the Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elects
to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the
terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company.
	 
	D.	 	Applicable to a Subscribing Reinsurer licensed to write Workers’ Compensation business
in California.

With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon thirty (30)-days notice, draw upon any sums
from the deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of
sections 11691 – 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 19 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2007.05.03-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution procedures
that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and
any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or
tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination,
including disputes as to whether the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be
submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an
umpire and two (2) party-appointed arbitrators unless a Party meets the requirements of
Paragraph C of this Article and demands arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel
would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for the resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel
Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance
Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance with
Alternative section 6.2 of the Procedures.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the
list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be impartial
and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the control of any
Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or officer of any
Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in the arbitration.
The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the Panel shall have the
same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties

	 	 	 	and decisions with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel
members may have been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of
impartiality does not mean that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or
experience with respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends
to present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later than
the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party could
not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party
seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other Party’s
agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to
issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms expressed
in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty insurance
and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the strict rules
of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as
modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event
that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking
payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the
currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the second sentence of section
16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall not apply. The Parties agree to comply
with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a single umpire, and hereby designate the
umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered
on any award. If such

	 	 	an order is issued, the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the attorneys’
fees incurred of the Party who applied for the confirmation order and all court costs of
any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any single
Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all disputes
between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this Contract or any
contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single arbitration proceeding
before a single Panel, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add
a new issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company has the right to
combine any and all disputes between the Company and a single Subscribing Reinsurer
into a single arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such disputes involve
this Contract and any additional contracts between the two Parties, except that the
standard for determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or dispute to an
arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a Position statement, as set
forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more than one
Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this Contract, where
there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or
inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided, however, that the Reinsurers
shall have the right to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, and to
be represented by separate counsel. This provision shall not change the liability of
each of the Reinsurers under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to this
Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an Alternative
Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall apply the law as
set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Contract.

ARTICLE 20 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing Reinsurer or to
the Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within forty five (45) calendar days following the date of presentation to
the Subscribing Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim,
and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is
not received within forty five (45) calendar days following the date on which payment
is due, and/or

Reinsurance Addendum 2

No. 0100300-SUM08

 

 

	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not received
within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of
this Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within ninety (90)
calendar days following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus two percent
(2%). The variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as
published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each
successive month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus two percent (2%). The
product shall then be multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due
and the interest amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article
shall be calculated by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect
to the amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party
wholly or partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be
awarded as outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the
monies were due and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and
shall be payable as of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is one hundred dollars ($100)
or less shall be waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however,
shall not affect the waiving Party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other
failure by the other Party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 21 — DIVIDENDS AND TAXES (LM-00600-2005.06.02-A)

In consideration of the terms of this Contract, the Company shall not claim any deduction in
respect of any amount paid as dividends or as reinsurance premium when making tax returns, other
than income or profits tax returns to any State or to the District of Columbia.

ARTICLE 22 — FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (LM-01000-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Article is applicable to any Subscribing Reinsurer who is domiciled outside of the
United States of America, except for any Subscribing Reinsurer exempt from Federal Excise
Tax. A Subscribing Reinsurer that claims exempt status from Federal Excise Tax shall provide
to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the
demands of the U.S. Internal Revenue Agency and/or other applicable U.S. government
authority.

	B.	 	Each Subscribing Reinsurer shall allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable
hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of
paying Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax.
	 
	C.	 	In the event of any return of premium, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct the aforesaid
percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover
such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE 23 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other)
under this Contract. Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of whether
such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the event of
insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 24 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2005.08.24-A)

(This Article applies to unauthorized Reinsurers and to Reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit
instituted against any of them upon this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such
Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750 Seventh Avenue,
New York, NY 10019-6829.
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the above-named as the person to whom the
said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy
thereof.

ARTICLE 25 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2006.10.26-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter 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 unearned premium and 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 unearned premium,
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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by
the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by funds
withheld, cash advances, or Letters of Credit. Unless the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method of funding is determined by applicable law,
statute, or regulation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall agree to fund such Subscribing
Reinsurer Obligations by Letters of Credit.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure
timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of Credit
issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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
Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be
automatically extended for one year from their date of expiration or any future expiration
date unless sixty (60) days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the
Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the
following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	a.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of
premiums returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract on account of
cancellations of such Policies; and
	 
	 	b.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company, but not yet
recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of
the Policies reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	c.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts
necessary to secure the credit or reduction from liability for

	 	2.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and
undischarged ten (10) days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal to
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in a
separate account in the name of the Company in a qualified

	 	 	 	U.S. financial institution apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses
and purposes specified in above as may remain after withdrawal and for any period
after the termination date.

	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
as applicable.
	 
	E.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose
of amending the Letters 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
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the
Company of an amendment to the Letters 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 thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from the Subscribing
Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess
credit.

	F.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers
(“Party”, individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or
concerning this Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator
Program. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the ARIAS Newer Arbitrator Program expedited
proceeding with a single Newer Arbitrator shall be used to resolve any such disputes.

ARTICLE 26 — CONFIDENTIALITY (LM-00400-2005.11.10-A)

	A.	 	Confidential Information. The submission materials, and any Policy, financial,
underwriting, accounting, and claims information, data statements, representations, and other
materials provided by the Company or it affiliates and received by the Subscribing Reinsurer
in the course of an audit, inspection, or otherwise, represent confidential or proprietary
information (“Confidential Information”). This Confidential Information is intended for the
sole use of the Subscribing Reinsurer (and its retrocessionaires, respective auditors,
accountants, and legal counsel) as may be necessary in analyzing and/or accepting a
participation in and/or executing its responsibilities under or related to this Contract.
The Subscribing Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any review of
Confidential Information by the Subscribing Reinsurer, and/or discussion of Confidential
Information, the Company and its affiliates do not waive and do not intend to waive any
available privilege or protection. The review of Confidential Information by the Subscribing
Reinsurer and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its affiliates
shall not destroy, waive, or otherwise impair the proprietary and/or protected status of any
Confidential Information or any information revealed in such discussion with the personnel of
the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed with the Subscribing
Reinsurer intentionally or inadvertently, nor does the review of the Confidential Information
and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its affiliates constitute
an estoppel or waiver of the Company’s or its affiliates’ rights to assert the
attorney-client or work-product privileges, or any other applicable privilege or protection,
over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its affiliates’ files and/or certain
information.
	 
	B.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree that no confidentiality obligations will
apply to Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information: (1) is or
becomes available to

Reinsurer, (2) was or became available lawfully to the Subscribing Reinsurer from a source,
other than the Company, its affiliates or their personnel, that is not subject to a
confidentiality obligation, (3) was developed independently by the Subscribing Reinsurer
prior to disclosure by the Company, its affiliates or their personnel, as demonstrated by
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s records, or (4) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation,
court, or regulatory agency action, subject to Paragraph E of this Article.
	 
	C.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to preserve all confidentiality and privilege pertaining to
all Confidential Information provided by the Company and all knowledge and information gained
through its review of Confidential Information or discussions with the personnel of the
Company or its affiliates. The Subscribing Reinsurer further agrees not to disclose any such
Confidential Information to any other person or entity except as such disclosure may be
necessary to its retrocessionaires, accountants, attorneys, auditors, actuaries or third
party catastrophe modelers or as otherwise required by law. The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees
that no Confidential Information is to be copied and/or removed from the Company’s or its
affiliates’ premises without the express permission of the Company.
	 
	D.	 	Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, any disclosure of
non-public personally identifiable information shall comply with all state and federal
statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of non-public personally identifiable
information. “Non-public personally identifiable information” is financial or medical
information of or concerning a private person which either has been obtained from sources
which are not available to the general public or obtained from the person who is the subject
and which information is included in data files exchanged by the parties hereto. For the
purposes hereof, the terms shall include data elements such as names and addresses of
individuals. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose beyond the scope of this
Contract, or beyond the exceptions set forth above, is expressly forbidden without the prior
consent of the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Third-Party Demand. Should the Subscribing Reinsurer receive a third-party demand
pursuant to subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order, to disclose Confidential
Information (including Non-public personally identifiable information) that has been provided
by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to
disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a reasonable opportunity
to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the release of the Confidential
Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the reasonable requests of the
Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist release of the Confidential
Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the release of the Confidential
Information.
	 
	F.	 	Survival. The parties agree that the obligations contained in this Article shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Contract.

The validity and interpretation of this Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

ARTICLE 29 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT (LM-00701-2005.08.24-A)

This Contract and the Novations of which it forms a part, shall constitute the entire agreement
between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer with respect to the subject matter of this
Contract and shall supersede all prior understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral
or written, by or between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer relating to the subject matter
hereof. There are no general or specific warranties, representations or other agreements by or

ARTICLE 30 — FEDERAL TERRORISM EXCESS RECOVERY (LM-01100-2007.12.28-A)

	A.	 	Any loss reimbursement the Company receives from the United States Government under the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 and any subsequent amendments thereto (“TRIA”) as a
result of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract shall apply as
follows:
	 
	B.	 	Except as provided below, any loss reimbursement under TRIA shall inure solely to the
benefit of the Company and shall be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions of
this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	If one or more loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract result(s) in
reinsurance recoveries to the Company under this Contract and reimbursement under TRIA, and
such amounts, together with any other reinsurance recoveries to the Company for said loss
occurrence(s), exceed the total amount of “Insured Losses” to the Company, any amount in
excess thereof shall be held by the Company. The Company shall then reimburse the Subscribing
Reinsurer a portion of such excess recovery in an amount equal to the proportion that the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s payment under this Contract bears to the total treaty reinsurance
recoveries to the Company for Insured Losses for said loss occurrence(s). Provided, however,
that in no event shall such reimbursement exceed the amount paid by the Subscribing Reinsurer
to the Company under this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	For purposes hereof, if a loss reimbursement received by the Company under TRIA is based on

amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts
in a separate account in the name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial
institution apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes as
specified above as may remain after withdrawal and for any period after the
termination date.

	D.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare an adjusted statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letters 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
fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the
Company of an amendment to the Letters of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the
amount of such difference.

within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written request from the Subscribing

described above, the Company may terminate this Contract at any time by the giving of thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	The coverage afforded by this Contract shall cease as of the date of termination and the

reasonable to establish the Commutation Losses, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay the
amount requested. In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the
statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability under such

	 	 	 	Policies, either party may request in writing that the differences be settled by a
panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint an actuary to assess such
liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written request for
commutation. Upon such appointment, the two (2) actuaries shall appoint a third
actuary. If the two (2) actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty
(30) days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three (3) individuals,
of whom the other shall decline two (2), and the final decision shall be made by
drawing lots. The actuaries shall then investigate and capitalize such Commutation
Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “capitalize” shall mean to
determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.
	 
	 	2.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the commutation
shall be equally divided between the parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	3.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto,
shall be final and binding, except that if the Company does not agree with the
capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no obligation to
commute. In the event the Company does not agree with the capitalized value of the
Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the expense of the
actuaries, including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by the Subscribing
Reinsurer, will be paid by the Company. If the Contract is commuted, payment by the
Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed upon by
the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a complete and final
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability under this Contract.

	H.	 	Termination under the terms of this Article can be made after the date of expiration of this
Contract.

ARTICLE 32 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2007.10.10-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under the
Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled. Without
first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not, either directly
or as the result of an action of a parent company or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or
foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer
to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any
estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. It is
further expressly understood and agreed that in the event the Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to
require the Company to settle their claims liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall
continue to have the right to utilize or to draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under
the terms of this Contract. This Article does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer from settling any claims liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to
both parties. This Article shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and
the Subscribing Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

	C.	 	It is understood and agreed that the limit and retention described above applies to the

Company, on the one hand, and the LMG Companies, on the other. It is further understood and
agreed that the limit and retention described above applies to both Bridgefield Casualty
Insurance Company and Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company. Any Loss Occurrence affecting
each of them shall be combined with respect to the application of the limit and retention set
forth herein. The limit and retention will be allocated in the same ratio that the Ultimate
Net Loss from each bears to the total Ultimate Net Loss of the Company.

SECTION 2 — PREMIUM

	A.	 	The premium paid to the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Exhibit shall be calculated at a
rate of 0.002% of the gross net written premium for the Business Covered hereunder, as stated
in the Business Covered Article.
	 
	B.	 	The term “gross net written premium” shall mean gross written premiums less return premiums
for cancellations and reductions in rates and less premium paid for reinsurance inuring to
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s benefit, if any.
	 
	C.	 	The Company paid to the Subscribing Reinsurer a minimum and deposit premium of $14,000 in
equal quarterly installments of $3,500 on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, 2008. For
purposes of calculating minimum and deposit premium paid by each of the Bridgefield Casualty
Insurance Company and Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company, the minimum and deposit
premium was multiplied by the ratio that the subject written premium of each bore to the
total subject written premium of the Company.
	 
	D.	 	The Company furnished to the Subscribing Reinsurer, a finalized statement of the actual
gross net written premium, as defined herein, for the previous year. The difference between
the minimum and deposit premium paid under this Exhibit and the actual gross net written
premium was settled to/from the Company.
	 
	E.	 	The Company has provided to the Subscribing Reinsurer, any reports necessary for annual
statement purposes.

SECTION 3 — REINSTATEMENT

	A.	 	In the event of the whole or any portion of the coverage under this Exhibit being exhausted
by a loss occurrence, the amount so exhausted is automatically reinstated from the time of
the loss occurrence. The Company shall pay to the Subscribing Reinsurer for such
reinstatement an additional premium calculated at pro rata of 100% of the premium under this
Exhibit, being pro rata as to the fraction of the face value under this Exhibit (being
$700,000,000) reinstated. For purposes of calculating reinstatement premium, the reinsurance
premium is deemed to be $15,750,000, multiplied by the ratio that the Company’s reinsurance
recovery bears to the total reinsurance recovery of the Company and the LMG Companies. It is
further understood and agreed that the limit and retention described above applies to both
Bridgefield Casualty Insurance Company and Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company. Any Loss
Occurrence affecting each of them shall be combined with respect to the application of the
limit and retention set forth herein. The limit and retention will be allocated in the same
ratio that the Ultimate Net Loss from each bears to the total Ultimate Net Loss of the
Company.
	 
	B.	 	Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
liability under this Exhibit shall not exceed $700,000,000 for any one Loss Occurrence nor
$1,400,000,000 for loss or losses occasioned by all loss occurrences under this Exhibit
during the term of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	In the event of a paid loss hereunder, there shall be simultaneous settlement of
reinstatement premium by the Company. In the event a reinstatement premium is paid prior to
the calculation of the annual premium in accordance with the first paragraph of SECTION 2 of
this Exhibit the reinstatement premium shall be provisionally calculated upon the deemed
premium of $15,750,000 for the LMG Companies and the Company and adjusted subsequently when
the premium adjustment is made.

SECTION 4 — SUBSCRIBING REINSURER INTERESTS AND LIABILITIES

It is hereby agreed by and between the Company on the one part and the Subscribing Reinsurer on
the other part that the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share in the interests and liabilities as set
forth in this Exhibit, shall be 100%.

such Risks shall then be covered under the terms of this Contract, except as such terms shall
be modified by such acceptance. A Subscribing Reinsurer’s failure to respond within 5 full
business days shall be deemed approval of a risk submitted for special acceptance. Once a Risk

The term “Loss Occurrence” shall mean any accident, disaster, casualty or happening or series

	A.	 	As respects an occupational or other disease or cumulative injury under Workers

Occupational Disease Compensation Act, the date of the beginning of the disability
for which compensation is payable;
	 
	 	2.	 	If the case is not compensable under the Workers Compensation Law or

premiums and losses for as long as one of the parties hereto has a claim against the other
arising from this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	Reinsurance Premiums are settled between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer, no
less frequently than on a quarterly basis. For purposes of calculating the minimum and
deposit premium paid by each company (Bridgefield Casualty Insurance Company and
Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company), the minimum and deposit premium was multiplied by
the ratio that the Subject Earned Premium of each bore to the total Subject Earned Premium
of the Company. The Company submitted finalized accounts to the Subscribing Reinsurer in
2010, summarizing the actual Subject Earned Premium for the previous year. The difference
between the Annual Deposit premium and the actual Subject Earned Premium was settled
to/from the Company. However, the annual adjusted premium was not less than the Annual
Minimum premium for each layer, set forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Annual	 	Annual

	Third Layer
	 	$	1.751,340	 	 	$	1.401.072	 
	 
	Total
	 	$	9,413,452	 	 	$	7,530,762	 

	C.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer has made payment to the Company for its portion of Loss and
Loss Adjustment Expense obligations presented prior to 12:01 a.m. Local Standard time,
January 1, 2010 and shall immediately make payment to the Company for its portion of the
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses obligations, upon reasonable evidence to be furnished by
the Company, of the amount due or to be due after the effective date of this contract.

ARTICLE 14 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2008.08.25-A)

	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly
authorized
representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its
affiliates, during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting,
or claim records and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they
exist in the Company’s or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to
business ceded under this Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably
describe the nature of the inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting
the inspection and, upon notice of available files from the Company, the files that it
wishes to review. Subject to the limitations expressed in this Article, this right of
inspection shall survive termination or expiration of this Contract and shall continue

	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or
files concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed
liability for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is(are) more than
ninety (90) days overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however,
prior to an arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to
respond to reasonable specific requests for information and questions raised by the
Subscribing Reinsurer concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict
the right or ability of the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant
information in a proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.

	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing
Reinsurer, its personnel, and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing
Reinsurer: (1) concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to
the terms of a third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates
requiring third party consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work-Product Privilege or
Attorney-Client Privilege, or (4) concerning individual private information that, as a
matter of law, cannot be disclosed by the Company or its affiliates (hereinafter referred
to in the Contract as “Privileged Documents”). The Company shall reasonably try to exempt
the Subscribing Reinsurer from any third party non-disclosure agreement or obtain consent
from the third party to disclose to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in
connection with the underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or
final adjudication of the case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all
claimants, and all parties to such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer
release of such Privileged Documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other
third party actions with respect to that claim or case, which may jeopardize the Company’s
or its affiliates’ defense by release of such Privileged Documents. In the event that the
Company shall seek to defer release of such Privileged Documents or to withhold documents
concerning Trade Secrets, it will in consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take
other steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the
information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such
privileges or protections. The Subscribing Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to
Privileged Documents relating to any dispute between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in
Section 1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney-Client
Privilege” shall mean communications of a confidential nature between: (1) the Company or
its affiliates, or anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates,
or their in-house or outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal
counsel, and (2) any in-house or outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being
sought by the Company or its affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided
to the Company or its affiliates. “Work-Product Privilege” shall mean communications,
written materials, and tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or
prepared by or for the Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with
litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 15 — AMENDMENTS

This Contract may be amended by mutual consent of the parties expressed in an addendum; and
such addendum, when executed by both parties, shall be deemed to be an integral part of this
Contract and binding on the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 16 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2008.06.27-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution
procedures that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between
the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or
“Parties” collectively) arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether
sounding in contract or tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s
formation, or after its termination, including disputes as to whether the Contract was
validly formed or is voidable, shall be submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel
(“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an umpire and two party-appointed arbitrators
unless a Party meets the requirements of Paragraph C of this Article and demands
arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon
the Procedures for the Resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular
Panel Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and
Reinsurance Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance
with section 6.2 of the Procedures, except that other professionals who have
worked for at least 10 years for an insurer or reinsurer shall also be qualified
to serve as an arbitrator or umpire.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS
(U.S.) as the list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures
is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be
impartial and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the
control of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or
officer of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness
in the arbitration. The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the
Panel shall have the same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties and decisions
with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel members may have
been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of impartiality does not
mean that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or experience with
respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be
replaced by the following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party
submit concise written statements of position, including summaries of the facts
and evidence a Party intends to present, discussion of the applicable law and the
basis for the requested Award or denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for
a Party) shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the
issues before the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed
to all other Parties and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a
continuing duty to disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any
violation of this prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications
that occurred. This prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any
arbitration awards and decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later
than the close of discovery, without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party
could not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within
one year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a
Party seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the
other Party’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority
to issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to
the prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following
provision: “The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the
terms expressed in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and
casualty insurance and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to
follow the strict rules of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the
Procedures, as modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply
in the event that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating
arbitration is seeking payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million
dollars ($1,000,000), or the currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the
second sentence of section 16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall not apply.
The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a single umpire,
and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list to be used in
section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be
entered on any award. If the application for confirmation is contested and a judgment is
issued, confirming the award, then the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay
the attorneys’ fees incurred by the Party who applied for the confirmation and all court
costs of any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue
a restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any
single Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all
disputes between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this
Contract or any contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single
arbitration proceeding before a single Panel, except that the standard for
determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or

	 	 	 	dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a
Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer.

	 	a.	 	Either the Company or any single Subscribing Reinsurer
has the right to combine one arbitration proceeding before a single Panel
where such disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts
between the two Parties.
	 
	 	b.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject in each
instance to the mutual agreement of the Parties, new issues, claims, or
disputes may be added to such existing arbitration proceeding.

	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more
than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this
Contract, where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of
conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided,
however, that the Reinsurers shall have the right to assert several, rather than
joint defenses or claims, and to be represented by separate counsel. This
provision shall not change the liability of each of the Reinsurers under the terms
of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to
this Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an
Alternative Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall
apply the law as set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Option to Litigate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, to the
extent that either
Party has demanded payment of a total amount of at least twenty million dollars
($20,000,000) or the currency equivalent thereof under this Contract, and an
arbitration demand has been served, either Party retains the option to initiate
litigation to resolve any disputes arising from such demand, provided however, that the
Party initiating such option to litigate must file suit within 60 days from the date on
which the arbitration demand was served. The Parties hereby waive their rights to a
jury trial in connection with any such litigation.
	 
	J.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of
this Contract.

ARTICLE 17-ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, OR TRANSFER (LM-00300-2008.05.13-A)

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns provided, however, that
this Contract may not be assigned, novated or transferred, including any attempted transfer
of rights and/or obligations under any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation or
jurisprudence, by either the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer, or as the result of the
action(s) of a parent company or an affiliated entity of either, without the prior written
consent of the other. In the event of any assignment, novation, or transfer, the assignor,
novator, or transferor shall remain liable under this Contract, and further guarantees the
performance of all obligations of any assignee, novatee, or transferee under this Contract.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this Contract to an insurance entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, without the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s written consent.

The Subscribing Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any review of
Confidential Information by the Subscribing Reinsurer, and/or discussion of Confidential
Information, the Company and its affiliates do not waive and do not intend to waive any
available privilege or protection. The review of Confidential Information by the
Subscribing Reinsurer and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its
affiliates shall not destroy, waive, or otherwise impair the proprietary and/or protected
status of any Confidential Information or any information revealed in such discussion with
the personnel of the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed with
the Subscribing Reinsurer intentionally or inadvertently, nor does the review of the
Confidential Information and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or
its affiliates constitute an estoppel or waiver of the Company’s or its affiliates’ rights
to assert the attorney-client or work-product privileges, or any other applicable privilege
or protection over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its affiliates’ files
and/or certain information.
	 
	B.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree that no confidentiality obligations
will apply to Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information: (1) is
or becomes available to the public, other than as a result of impermissible disclosure by
the Subscribing Reinsurer, (2) was or became available lawfully to the Subscribing
Reinsurer from a source, other than the Company, its affiliates, or their personnel, that

information gained through its review of Confidential Information or discussions of the
Confidential Information with the personnel of the Company or its affiliates. The
Subscribing Reinsurer further agrees not to disclose any such Confidential Information to
any other person or entity, except as such disclosure may be necessary to its

modelers or as otherwise required by law. The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees that no
Confidential Information is to be copied and/or removed from the Company’s or its
affiliates’ premises without the express permission of the Company.
	 
	D.	 	Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, any disclosure
of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state and federal
statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable
Information. “Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information” shall be defined as this
term or a similar term as defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or

	E.	 	Third-Party Demand. Should the Subscribing Reinsurer receive a third-party

	 	 	or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially reasonable
efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to
disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a reasonable
opportunity to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the release

the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any company intended to be
covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of
the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that domiciliary state’s
laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be
payable, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against
the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (a) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(b) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the
Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any sums from the
deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of sections 11691
 — 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 27 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing
Reinsurer or to the Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the
Subscribing Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim,
and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is
not received within 45 calendar days following the date on which payment is due,
and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not
received within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this
Contract, and/or

	 	 	 	Reinsurance Addendum 3
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not provided in
subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the date
specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective
payment obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be
subject to an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate
consisting of the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall
Street Journal on the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past
due, plus 2%. The variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S.
Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the
first day of each successive month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%.
The product shall then be multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the
amount due and the interest amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to
this Article shall be calculated by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect
to the amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party
wholly or partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall
be awarded as outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the
monies were due and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and
shall be payable as of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is
owed. Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall
be waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not
affect the waiving Party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by
the other Party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 28 — LOSS ADJUSTMENT AND SETTLEMENT (LM-01500-2006.09.07-A)

	A.	 	The Company shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Subscribing Reinsurer of
any claim that it has reason to believe could involve this Contract. The Company shall
keep the Subscribing Reinsurer informed of significant developments likely to affect the
cost of any claim or claims hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The Company may commence, continue, defend, settle, or withdraw from actions, suits,
or prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which
the Subscribing Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial
or expedient to the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole
judge as to what claims are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss and
Loss Occurrences, as well as all loss settlements made and judgments paid by the Company,
provided they are within the terms of this Contract either under the strict conditions of
the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be unconditionally binding upon the
Subscribing Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable immediately
upon reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing Reinsurer by
the Company. The true intent of this

	A.	 	In the event of any dispute or difference of opinion arising out of or relating to this
Contract, including but not limited to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach
of this Contract, whether such dispute arises before or after the expiration of this
Contract, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer may mutually agree in writing that,
prior to or at any time during an arbitration proceeding, they will submit such dispute or
difference of opinion to non-binding mediation which will be held at a location mutually
agreed by the parties. The parties agree that any non-binding mediation conducted during
any stage of an arbitration process shall be conducted concurrently with such arbitration
process, and that the arbitration process or proceedings shall not be stayed unless both
the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree.
	 
	B.	 	Each Party shall submit a list of not more than four (4) potential mediators to the
other party within the fourteen (14) days of reaching such mutual agreement. The two
Parties shall then agree on the appointment on one (1) mediator from the combined lists
within seven (7) days. The mediator shall be a neutral, impartial third party, without past
employment or directorial relationships with the parties to the mediation. Such mediator
shall make full disclosure of all past partisan relationships with either the Company or
Subscribing Reinsurer to the parties within seven (7) days of his or her notification that
he or she has been selected as a Mediator.
	 
	C.	 	If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on a mediator within
twenty-one (21) days from the date of a mutual agreement to mediate, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.

or her appointment and will be responsible for the formulation of an agenda to be
distributed to the parties involved in the mediation not less than five (5) days before the

	E.	 	The mediator will not have the power of enforcement of any agreement between the parties
nor will the mediator have any right to assess any damages, including punitive damages, to
either party participating in the mediation.
	 
	F.	 	If, in the opinion of the mediator, the parties cannot resolve the dispute or difference
of opinion, arbitration proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration
Article. In any event, the mediation shall conclude within sixty (60) days of its referral
to the mediator. Should the mediation not be resolved in sixty (60) days, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	G.	 	Each Party shall bear the expense of its own representatives and shall jointly and
equally bear with the other Party the expenses of the mediator and the place of mediation.

ARTICLE 30 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may
exercise, at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one,
any other) under this Contract.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of whether
such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the
event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with
the provisions of the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 31 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2008.07.21-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations
under the Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported
and settled. Without first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing
Reinsurer will not, either directly or as the result of an action of a parent company
or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation, or
jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer to require the Company
to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any estimated or
undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. If the
Subscribing Reinsurer has provided collateral relating to this Contract and the
Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to require the Company to settle their claims
liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall have the right to utilize or to
draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under the terms of this Contract, or
as otherwise agreed between the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company. This Article
does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer from settling any claims
liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to both parties. This Article
shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

ARTICLE 32 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or
subrogation in respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its
share of recovery expense. Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the
settlement of a disputed claim, or the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree to
the contrary, the Company shall enforce the right to salvage and/or subrogation
and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right. Should the Company
refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is hereby
empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the
Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any
salvage and/or subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing
Reinsurer to enforce such rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total
salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in addition to the limits
hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or subrogation
recovery, the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company
and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the
total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party,
subsequent to payments made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract,
shall be applied as if obtained prior to said payments and all necessary
adjustments shall be made between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer as
soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive
its right of subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 33 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2008.07.17-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized reinsurers and to reinsurers who are domiciled
outside the United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction
within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be
understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s right to
commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United States,
to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any
state in the United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court
is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and
accepted by the Subscribing Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or
otherwise, as provided for above, will comply with all requirements necessary to
give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against any of them upon
this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate
Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750
Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019-6829.
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on
behalf of the Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any
statute of any state, territory, or district of the United States that makes
provision therefore, the Subscribing Reinsurer hereby designates the
Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or other officer
specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the
above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such
process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 34 — SEVERABILITY (LM-02000-2005.06.02-A)

If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the
laws, regulations, or public policy 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 35 — SPECIAL CONDITIONS (LM-02100-2008.11.18-A)

	A.	 	This Article applies only in the event that:

	C.	 	Irrespective of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s failure to provide the
Company with timely written notice of the happening of a Trigger Event,
upon occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Company may terminate this Contract
at any time, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Subscribing
Reinsurer. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising its option
under this section will operate as a waiver thereof.
	 
	D.	 	Termination under this Article can be made after the date of expiration of this
Contract.
	 
	E.	 	If this Contract is terminated under this Article, this Contract
shall remain in full force and effect as respects the Company’s and the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s respective rights and obligations, prior to the
effective date and time of termination. The coverage afforded by this
Contract shall cease as of the date and time of termination and the
Subscribing Reinsurer shall return the unearned premium, if any, within
fifteen (15) days of the termination date. If coverage hereunder terminates
while a claim covered by this Contract is in progress, the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall be liable, subject to all conditions hereof, for its
proportion of the entire claim, provided the event giving rise to the claim
started before such termination.

	F.	1. 	 	If the Company elects to terminate this Contract under this Article, the Company may
also elect to commute this Contract. Such election to commute shall be
made either within the written thirty (30) day notice to the
Subscribing Reinsurer of the Company’s intention to terminate this
Contract, or by written notice thereafter. If the Company elects to
commute, the Subscribing Reinsurer has the option to provide security
for its Obligations (as defined herein), as an alternative to
commutation. The Subscribing Reinsurer shall notify the Company of
its decision to provide security for its Obligations within fifteen
(15) business days of the receipt of written notice of the Company’s
election to commute. If the Subscribing Reinsurer elects to provide
security for its Obligations under this Contract, the Company shall
provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with a written statement of the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of all paid recoverables, case
reserves, loss adjustment expenses, incurred but not reported losses,
reserves for unearned premium, and ceding commissions due under this
Contract prior to the effective date and time of termination
(collectively “Obligations”). Within fifteen (15) days of the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s receipt of such statement, the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall fund all Obligations by securing clean, irrevocable,
and unconditional Letters of Credit, payable exclusively to the
Company and issued by a bank acceptable to the Company. Any Letters
of Credit provided by the Subscribing Reinsurer under the
Unauthorized Reinsurance Article of this Contract also constitute
funding under this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Any Letters of Credit secured by the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and
shall be automatically extended for one year from their dates of
expiration or any future expiration dates, unless sixty (60) days
prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the
Company, by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to extend
any Letter of Credit for any additional period.
	 
	 	3.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company agree that
the Letters of Credit provided by the Subscribing Reinsurer, pursuant
to the provisions of this Article, 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, without diminution because of the
insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more
of the following purposes:

	 	a.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	i.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of premiums
returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing
Reinsurer, to the owners of Policies reinsured under
this Contract due to cancellations of such Policies; and

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	ii.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or liabilities paid by the Company, but not
yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the
terms and provisions of the Policies reinsured under this
Contract; and
	 
	 	iii.	 	Any other amounts necessary to
secure the credit or reduction from liability for reinsurance
taken by the Company.

	 	4.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or
be reduced or replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and
where the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract remain
unliquidated and undischarged ten (10) days prior to the expiration of
the Letter of Credit, to withdraw amounts equal to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations, to the extent that the liabilities have not yet
been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the amount of any
reduced or replacement Letters of Credit.
	 
	 	5.	 	If the Company has concluded that the issuing bank’s
financial condition is such that the value of the security represented by
the Letter of Credit may be in jeopardy, the Company, may withdraw
amounts equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations.
	 
	 	6.	 	If the Company draws on the Letter of Credit to obtain a
cash advance, under paragraphs F.4 or F.5, the Company, will hold the
amount of the cash advance so obtained in trust in the name of the
Company in any qualified United States financial institution as defined
by the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state, solely to secure
the Obligations and for the use and purposes enumerated above. The
Company will return any balance to the Subscribing Reinsurer upon the
complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations to the Company under this Contract or in the
event the Subscribing Reinsurer provides alternative or replacement
security consistent with the terms hereof and acceptable to the Company.

	G.	 	If the Company elects to commute this Contract and the Subscribing
Reinsurer does not fund its Obligations under this Contract, then:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability for loss(es), whether reported or
unreported, comprising the sum total of the present value of the ceded:
(a) case reserves and allocated loss adjustment expense, (b) projected
ultimate losses, (c) any unearned premium reserve, and (d) undiscounted
outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the “Commutation Losses”), on
Policies covered by this Contract as of the effective date and time of
termination. If the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees with the statement of
valuation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested
within ten (10) days of receipt of the statement of valuation.
	 
	 	2.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer
cannot agree on the statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
liability under such Policies, either party may request in writing that
the differences be settled by a panel of three actuaries. Each party
shall appoint an actuary to assess such liability within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the written request for commutation. Upon such
appointment, the two actuaries shall appoint a third actuary. If the two
actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty (30) days of
their appointment, each of them shall nominate three individuals, of whom
the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be made by
drawing lots.
	 
	 	3.	 	The actuaries shall then investigate and Capitalize such
Commutation Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein,
“Capitalize” shall mean to determine the present value of Commutation
Losses, without regard to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such
losses. The panel shall meet in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Company
and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.

	 	a.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall
be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	 	 	Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the
commutation shall be equally divided between the parties of the
commutation.
	 
	 	b.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when
filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding, except that
if the Company does not agree with the Capitalized value of the
Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no obligation to commute.
In the event the Company does not agree with the Capitalized value of
the Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the
Company will pay the expense of the actuaries, including reasonable
expense of the actuary appointed by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	 	c.	 	If the Contract is commuted, payment by the
Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually
agreed upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall
constitute a complete and final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in
respect to its liability under this Contract.

	 	4.	 	The commutation process described in this Article shall not be subject to any
other
dispute resolution process, including but not limited to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 36 — THIRD PARTIES (LM-02700-2005.09.27-A)

This Contract shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any third party whatsoever
unless said right or remedy is specifically granted to such third party by the terms of
this Contract.

ARTICLE 37 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2008.09.24-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any
time thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this
Contract, the Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory
authority or set up on its books reserves for unearned premium and 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 unearned premium, 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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by the
Company (hereinafter referred to as “ Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by Letters
of Credit, unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or
the method of funding is determined by applicable law, statute, or regulation.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply
for and secure timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional
Letters of Credit issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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. At the Company’s request, the Subscribing
Reinsurer will agree to provide separate Letters of Credit for any Affiliates covered
under this Contract. Such Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less
than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from the date of
expiration or any future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration date,
the issuing bank shall notify the

	 	 	Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the
following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	a.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of
premiums returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract on account of
cancellations of such Policies; and
	 
	 	b.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company, but not yet recovered
from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of the
Policies reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	c.	 	Any other amounts necessary to secure the credit or
reduction from liability for reinsurance taken by the Company.

	 	2.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and
undischarged 10 days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the liabilities
have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the amount of any
reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in a separate
account in the name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial institution, apart
from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes specified in above as
may remain after withdrawal and for any period after the termination date.

	D.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letters 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 Letters 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
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such
excess credit.

	E.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party”,
individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or concerning this
Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator Program. Unless the
Parties otherwise agree, the ARIAS Newer Arbitrator Program expedited proceeding with a
single Newer Arbitrator shall be used to resolve any such disputes.

	 	(iii)	 	Any facility where Nuclear Material is stored, other than storage
incidental to the carriage of such material.

“Nuclear Reactor” means any structure containing nuclear fuel in such an arrangement that a
self-sustaining chain process of nuclear fission can occur therein without an additional source of
neutrons.

“Production, use or Storage of Nuclear Material” means the production, manufacture, enrichment,
conditioning, processing, reprocessing, use, storage, handling and disposal of Nuclear Material.

“Property” shall mean all land, buildings, structures, plant, equipment, vehicles, contents
(including but not limited to liquids and gases) and all materials of whatever description whether
fixed or not.

“High Radioactivity Zone or Area” means:

prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which the

the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole judge as to what
claims are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss, as well as all loss
settlements made and judgments paid by the Company, provided they are within the terms of

shall be unconditionally binding upon the Subscribing Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all

party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

ARTICLE 12 — LOSS IN EXCESS OF ORIGINAL POLICY LIMITS (LM-01600-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof, for one hundred percent

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.
	 
	C.	 	With regard to excess of Policy limits, 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. The date on which any Loss in excess of the Company’s original Policy limit
is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the
original Occurrence, accident, casualty, disaster, loss occurrence or loss, as selected by
the Company.

ARTICLE 13 — COMMUTATION (LM-02601-2007.10.29-W)

	A.	 	Eighty-four (84) months after the expiry of this Contract, the Company shall advise the
Subscribing
Reinsurer of any Loss Occurrence which may not have been finally settled and which may cause
a claim under this Contract. Upon review, if either the Company or any Subscribing Reinsurer
requests commutation, such commutation shall proceed for all Subscribing Reinsurers, as
follows:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall prepare a final claim against the Subscribing Reinsurer in
respect of such Loss Occurrence.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall review the final claim and shall
attempt to reach settlement by mutual agreement.
	 
	 	3.	 	The final claim shall be calculated in accordance with the following criteria:

	 	a.	 	Mortality assumptions shall be calculated from the latest available
United States Census Table as follows:

	 	•	 	Survivor Benefits  	 	- Total Female or Male, whichever applies
	 
	 	•	 	Disability Benefits  	 	- Total Population

	 	 	 	The mortality assumptions should reflect: (a) the mortality improvement since
the publication of the most recent U.S. Census Table, and (b) the life
impairment of the injured worker.
	 
	 	b.	 	Remarriage expectations shall be in accordance with the assumptions
used by the National Council on Compensation Insurance in its statistical tables,
adjusted for the gender of the survivor.
	 
	 	c.	 	For all future medical costs, projected cash payments shall be based
upon projected long-term medical care and rehabilitation requirements, using the
average annual Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation rate of the past
twenty (20) years using the most recent published tables, going back twenty (20)
years.
	 
	 	d.	 	For all future indemnity costs, projected cash payments shall be
calculated based upon the average historical actual Cost-Of-Living Adjustment
(COLA) over however many years of information are available, but no more than
twenty (20) years; up

	 	 	 	through the most recent published data that is available from the State or
Federal governing body over Workers Compensation, whichever may apply.
	 
	 	e.	 	The annual interest discount percentage shall be calculated as the
average yield to maturity of all United States Treasury Bonds maturing during the
calendar quarter that is fifteen (15) years after the calendar quarter in which
the commutation date falls.
	 
	 	f.	 	The final claim shall be the amount of cash payments made, plus the
discounted present value of the future payments as determined by the above
calculations. The final claim with respect to each injured worker or fatality
shall then be capped at $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 as respects the coverage provided
in Exhibit A). The resulting individual values shall then be summed together. The
Company’s retention shall then be subtracted from this amount and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall pay up to the per occurrence limit afforded under this Contract.

	B.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer are unable to reach a settlement
following the criteria laid out in steps A.1.a-f above, then the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall, within four (4) weeks from the written request of one of the parties,
mutually appoint an independent actuarial consulting firm or, in the event that they fail to
agree on the selection of an independent actuarial consulting firm within four (4) weeks,
each party shall name three (3) independent actuarial consulting firms of which the other
party shall decline two (2), and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. The appointed
independent actuarial consulting firm shall investigate, determine, and value the Loss
Occurrence. The valuation of such Loss Occurrence shall use the assumptions and methodologies
as stated above. The independent actuarial consulting firm’s decisions to the valuation of
such final claim shall be final and binding. The commutation process described in this
Article shall not be subject to any other dispute resolution process, including but not
limited to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed
upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company of the final claim as determined by the
procedures described above, in respect of each such Loss Occurrence shall constitute complete
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer from liability for each such Loss Occurrence.
	 
	D.	 	This Article does not preclude termination or commutation of this Contract as provided in the
Special Conditions Article.

ARTICLE 14 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the settlement of a disputed claim, or the
Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the Company shall enforce the right
to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right.
Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is
hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation recovery, the

	 	 	expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery is
obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 15 — CURRENCY (LM-00500-2005.08.09)

Whenever a reference to a monetary currency appears in this Contract, it shall be construed to
mean United States Dollars ($). All payments made by either party shall be made in United States
Dollars. All amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted into
United States Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date at which it is entered on the books of
the Company.

ARTICLE 16 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2008.08.25-A)

	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly
authorized representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its affiliates,
during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting, or claim records
and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they exist in the Company’s
or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to business ceded under this
Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably describe the nature of the
inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting the inspection and upon notice
of available files from the Company, the files that it wishes to review. Subject to the
limitations expressed in this Article, this right of inspection shall survive termination or
expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either Party has any rights or
obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or files
concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is (are) more than ninety (90)
days overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an
arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable
specific requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer
concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of
the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant information in a proceeding pursuant
to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer,
its personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer (1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party
consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege
or (4) concerning individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed
by the Company or its affiliates (hereinafter referred to in the Contract as “Privileged
Documents”). The Company shall

	 	 	reasonably try to exempt the Subscribing Reinsurers from any third party non-disclosure
agreement or obtain consent from the third party to disclose to the Subscribing Reinsurers.
	 
	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of the
case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against ail claimants, and all parties to
such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged Documents
if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that
claim or case, which may jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by release of
such Privileged Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer release of such
Privileged Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it will in
consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary to
provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify
the Company without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The Subscribing
Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to any dispute
between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in Section
1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney—Client Privilege” shall
mean communications of a confidential nature between 1) the Company or its affiliates, or
anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or their in-house or
outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel, and 2) any in-house or
outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by the Company or its
affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the Company or its
affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written materials and
tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared by or for the
Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with litigation, arbitration,
or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 17 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (LM-00800-2005.06.02-A)

	A.	 	Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with the terms and conditions of this
Contract 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
delay, omission, or error is rectified upon discovery.
	 
	B.	 	However, this Article shall not override the application of the commutation of losses as set
forth in the Commutation Article or the Special Conditions Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 18 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2008.07.25-A)

If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder,
that domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable
with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against the
insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing

	 	 	 	Addendum 4
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100300-SUM09

 

 

	 	 	Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or
statutory successor, except to the extent Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law
applies, or except (1) where the Contract specifically provides another payee of such
reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Subscribing
Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy
obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing Reinsurer to the payees
under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	Applicable to a Subscribing Reinsurer licensed to write Workers’ Compensation business
in California. With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed
that in the event of any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company
and/or the failure of the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this
Contract, the Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any
sums from the deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of
sections 11691 – 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 19 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2008.06.27-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution procedures
that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and
any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or
tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination,
including disputes as to whether the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be
submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an
umpire and two party-appointed arbitrators unless a Party meets the requirements of Paragraph
C of this Article and demands arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel would
consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for the Resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel
Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance
Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance with section 6.2 of
the
Procedures, except that other professionals who have worked for at least 10 years for
an insurer or reinsurer shall also be qualified to serve as an arbitrator or umpire.

	 	 	 	 	 

	Effective: January 1, 2010

	 	 	 	Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
	 

	 	 	 	Addendum 4
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100300-SUM09

 

 

	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list
to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be impartial and
disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the control of any Party or
its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or officer of any Party or its
parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in the arbitration. The requirement
of impartiality means that all members of the Panel shall have the same obligation to
approach the Panel’s duties and decisions with fairness and without consideration for
the fact that Panel members may have been appointed by one of the Parties. The
requirement of impartiality does not mean that any arbitrator can have no previous
knowledge of or experience with respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends to
present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later than
the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party could not
reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party seek
a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other Party’s
agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to issue
subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms expressed
in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty insurance
and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the strict rules
of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as
modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event
that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking
payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the
currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2,16.3 and the second sentence of section 16.4
of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall

	 	 	not apply. The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a
single umpire, and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list
to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered
on any award. If the application for confirmation is contested and a judgment is issued
confirming the award, then the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the
attorneys’ fees incurred by the Party who applied for the confirmation and all court costs of
any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any single Subscribing
Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all disputes between them
that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this Contract or any contract for
which this Contract is a renewal) into a single arbitration proceeding before a single
Panel, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new issue,
claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a
Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer.

	 	a.	 	Either the Company or any single Subscribing Reinsurer has the right
to combine any and all disputes between the Company and such single Subscribing
Reinsurer into one arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such
disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts between the two
Parties, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new
issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	b.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject in each instance to the
mutual agreement of the Parties, new issues, claims, or disputes may be added to
such existing arbitration proceeding.

	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more than one
Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this Contract, where there
are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or
inconsistent results, all such 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
Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided, however, that the Reinsurers shall
have the right to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, and to be
represented by separate counsel. This provision shall not change the liability of each
of the Reinsurers under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to this
Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an Alternative
Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall apply the law as
set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.

Contract.

ARTICLE 20 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing Reinsurer or
to the Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the Subscribing
Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim, and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is not
received within 45 calendar days following the
date on which payment is due, and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either party to the other, is not received
within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus 2%. The
variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as published
in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each successive
month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%. The product shall then be
multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due and the interest
amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article shall be calculated
by the party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract.
If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or any other proceeding with respect to the
amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor party wholly or
partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be awarded as
outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the monies were due
and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and shall be payable as
of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall be
waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not affect the
waiving party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by the other
party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 21 — DIVIDENDS AND TAXES (LM-00600-2008.10.10-A)

In consideration of the terms of this Contract, the Company shall not claim any deduction in
respect of any amount paid as dividends or as reinsurance premium when making tax returns, other
than income or profits tax returns to any State or to the District of Columbia.

ARTICLE 22 — FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (LM-01000-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	This Article is applicable to any Subscribing Reinsurer who is domiciled outside of the
United States of America, except for any Subscribing Reinsurer exempt from Federal Excise
Tax. A Subscribing Reinsurer that claims exempt status from Federal Excise Tax shall provide
to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the
demands of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, or its successor
and/or other applicable U.S. government authority.
	 
	B.	 	Each Subscribing Reinsurer shall allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable
hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of paying
Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax.
	 
	C.	 	In the event of any return of premium, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct the aforesaid
percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover
such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE 23 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other)
under this Contract. Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of
whether such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the
event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 24 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2008.07.17-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized reinsurers and to reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit

Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as

ARTICLE 25 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2008.09.24-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the
Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on
its books reserves for unearned premium and losses covered hereunder which it shall be
required by law to set up, it will forward to the Subscribing Reinsurer a statement showing

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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by
the Company (hereinafter referred to as “ Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by Letters of
Credit, unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method
of funding is determined by applicable law, statute, or regulation.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure
timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of Credit
issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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. At
the Company’s request, the Subscribing Reinsurer will agree to provide separate Letters of
Credit for any Affiliates covered under this Contract. Such Letters of Credit shall be issued
for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from
the date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration
date, the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified mail that the issuing bank
elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the

days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an
amendment to the Letters of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of

by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to

Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the reasonable requests of the
Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist release of the Confidential
Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the release of the Confidential
Information.

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, without diminution because of the insolvency of the
Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the following purposes:

	 	a.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	i.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of premiums
returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract due to
cancellations of such Policies; and

and benefits or liabilities paid by the Company, but not yet recovered
from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of

	 	iii.	 	Any other amounts necessary to secure the credit or reduction from
liability for reinsurance taken by the Company.

	 	4.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and undischarged
ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, to withdraw amounts
equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit.
	 
	 	5.	 	If the Company has concluded that the issuing bank’s financial condition
is such that the value of the security represented by the Letter of Credit may be
in jeopardy, the Company, may withdraw amounts equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
Obligations.
	 
	 	6.	 	If the Company draws on the Letter of Credit to obtain a cash advance,
under paragraphs F.4 or F.5, the Company, will hold the amount of the cash advance
so obtained in trust in the name of the Company in any qualified United States
financial institution as defined by the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary
state, solely to secure the Obligations and for the use and purposes enumerated
above. The Company will return any balance to the Subscribing Reinsurer upon the
complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
Obligations to the Company under this Contract or in the event the Subscribing
Reinsurer provides alternative or replacement security consistent with the terms
hereof and acceptable to the Company.

	G.	 	If the Company elects to commute this Contract and the Subscribing Reinsurer does not fund its
Obligations under this Contract, then:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
liability for loss(es), whether reported or unreported, comprising the sum total
of the present value of the ceded: (a) case reserves and allocated loss
adjustment expense, (b) projected ultimate losses, (c) any unearned premium
reserve, and (d) undiscounted outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the

	 	 	 	statement of valuation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay the amount
requested within ten (10) days of receipt of the statement of valuation.

	 	2.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on
the statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability under such
Policies, either party may request in writing that the differences be settled by a
panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint an actuary to assess such
liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written request for
commutation. Upon such appointment, the two actuaries shall appoint a third
actuary. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty (30)
days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three individuals, of whom
the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be made by drawing lots.
	 
	 	3.	 	The actuaries shall then investigate and Capitalize such Commutation
Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “Capitalize” shall mean to
determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.

	 	a.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the
commutation and shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the
Casualty Actuarial Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the
actuaries and of the commutation shall be equally divided between the
parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	b.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with
the parties hereto, shall be final and binding, except that if the Company
does not agree with the Capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the
Company shall have no obligation to commute. In the event the Company does
not agree with the Capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es) and does
not move forward with commutation, the Company will pay the expense of the
actuaries, including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by the
Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	 	c.	 	If the Contract is commuted, payment by the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed upon by
the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a complete and
final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability under
this Contract.

	 	4.	 	The commutation process described in this Article shall not be subject to
any other dispute resolution process, including but not limited to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 32 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2008.07.21-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under
the Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled.
Without first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not,

Subscribing Reinsurer to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but
not limited to any estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an
accelerated basis. If the Subscribing Reinsurer has provided collateral relating to this

	 	 	 	Reinsurance Addendum 1
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM08

 

 

	 	 	Expenses, a pro rata share of salaries and expenses of the Company’s or its
affiliates’ field employees according to the time occupied in adjusting, defending,
and settling such loss, and expenses of all of the Company’s or its affiliates’
officers and employees incurred in connection with the loss; (except that salaries of
officers and employees engaged in general management and located in the home office of
the Company or its affiliates and any office expense of the Company or its affiliates
shall not be included) and all other costs of investigation or litigation, (2) Extra
Contractual Obligations (as defined in the Extra Contractual Obligations Article), and
(3) Loss in excess of original Policy limits (as described in the Loss in Excess of
Original Policy Limits Article).
	 
	B.	 	“Claim-Specific Declaratory Judgment Expenses” shall be defined as fees and expenses
incurred in actions brought to determine whether the Company has a defense and/or
indemnification obligation for individual claims presented against Policies covered
under this
Contract. Any Claim-Specific Declaratory Judgment Expense shall be deemed to have been
fully incurred on the same date as the insured’s original loss (if any) giving rise to
the action,
unless otherwise provided for within this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	The term “Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses” as used above, means the fees and expenses of
attorneys, including the fees and expenses of the Company’s or its affiliate’s in-house
attorneys providing legal advice on coverage questions and/or defending the Company in
coverage litigation, and fees and expenses of staff counsel in the defense of
policyholder
claims. Such Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses for in-house attorneys and staff counsel
shall be
calculated at the rate for such attorneys plus the expenses incurred by such attorneys,
but
excluding office expenses of the Company and its affiliates and salaries and expenses
of their
other employees.
	 
	D.	 	“Post or Prejudgment Interest or Delayed Damages” shall mean interest or damages added
to a settlement, verdict, award, or judgment based on the period of time prior to or
after the
settlement, verdict, award, or judgment whether or not made part of the settlement,
verdict,
award, or judgment.
	 
	E.	 	Nothing in this Article shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not
recoverable until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. In the event a
verdict
or judgment is reduced by an appeal or a settlement subsequent to the entry of the
judgment,
thereby resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or in the event a
judgment is
reversed outright, the loss adjustment expense incurred in securing such final reduction
or
reversal shall be prorated between the Reinsurers and the Company in the proportion that
each
benefits from such reduction or reversal, and the expenses incurred up to the time of the
original
verdict or judgment shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss. In the event there is no
reduction or
reversal of a verdict or judgment, the loss adjustment expense incurred in attempting to
secure
such reduction or reversal shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss.

ARTICLE 7 — LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS (LM-01600-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof, for 90% of any Loss in
excess of
the Company’s original Policy limit where Loss in excess of the limit has been incurred
because of
a failure by the Company or by a third-party claims administrator 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 defending or prosecuting litigation, including appeals, arbitration, or any alternative
dispute
resolution or settlement discussions involving any claim.
	 
	B.	 	However, the above paragraph shall not apply where the Loss has been incurred due to the
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.
	 
	C.	 	With regard to excess of Policy limits, 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. The date on which any Loss in excess of the Company’s original Policy limit
is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the
original Loss Occurrence, accident, casualty, disaster, or Loss, as selected by the Company.

ARTICLE 8 — EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS (LM-00900-2007.03.28-A)

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof for 90% of Extra
Contractual
Obligations. “Extra Contractual Obligations” are defined as any actual or potential
liabilities not
covered under any other provision of this Contract, arising from or relating to any
alleged or actual
act, error or omission, whether intentional or otherwise, or from any alleged or actual
negligence,
tortious conduct, reckless conduct, violations of statutes or regulations governing the
conduct of
insurance companies and/or claims adjusters, or bad faith in connection with: (i) the
handling of
any claim under the Policies covered by this Contract, such liabilities arising because
of, but not
limited to, the following: failure by the Company or by a third party claims administrator
to settle
within the Policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith
of the
Company or by a third party claims administrator in rejecting an offer of settlement, or
in
defending or prosecuting litigation, including appeals, arbitration, or any alternative
dispute
resolution or settlement discussions involving any claim; or (ii) the providing of or
failure to provide
any loss control or loss prevention services in connection with any Policy hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The date on which any Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred shall be deemed, in all
circumstances, to be the date of the original Loss Occurrence, accident, casualty,
disaster, or
loss, as selected by the Company.
	 
	C.	 	However, this Article shall not apply where the Loss has been incurred due to the 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.

conducting the inspection and upon notice of available files from the Company, the files
that it
wishes to review. Subject to the limitations expressed in this Article, this right of
inspection shall
survive termination or expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either
Party has
any rights or obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or
files concerning any particular 

claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is more than ninety (90) days
overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an arbitration
demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable specific
requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer concerning such claims;
and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of the Subscribing Reinsurer
to seek discovery of relevant information in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing
Reinsurer, its
personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer shall
agree
to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer
(1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party
non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party consent
to
disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege or (4)
concerning
individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed by the Company
or its
affiliates (hereinafter referred to in the Contract as “Privileged Documents”). The
Company shall
reasonably try to exempt the Subscribing Reinsurers from any third party non-disclosure
agreement or obtain consent from the third party to disclose to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with
the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of
the case or
cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all claimants, and all parties to such
adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged Documents
if
there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that
claim or case,
which might jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by release of such
Privileged
Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer release of such Privileged
Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it will in consultation with
the
Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Subscribing

	 	 	Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company
without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The Subscribing Reinsurer,
however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to any dispute between
the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in
Section 1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney-Client
Privilege” shall mean communications of a confidential nature between a) the Company or its
affiliates, or anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or
their in-house or outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel,
and b) any in-house or outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by
the Company or its affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the
Company or its affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written
materials and tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared
by or for the Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with
litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 15 — AMENDMENTS

This Contract may be amended by mutual consent of the parties expressed in an addendum; and such
addendum, when executed by both parties, shall be deemed to be an integral part of this Contract
and binding on the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 16 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2007.05.03-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution
procedures that are
otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and any
Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of,
relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or tort and
whether arising
during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination, including disputes
as to whether
the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be submitted to the decision of an
arbitration
panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an umpire and two party-appointed
arbitrators unless a
Party meets the requirements of Paragraph C of this Article and demands arbitration
pursuant
thereto, in which case the Panel would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for
the resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel Version, dated
April
2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance Dispute Resolution
Task
Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance
with Alternative section 6.2 of the Procedures.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.)
as the list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is
invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be
impartial and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the
control of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or
officer of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in
the arbitration. The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the
Panel shall have the same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties and decisions
with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel members may have
been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of impartiality does not mean
that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or experience with respect to
issues involved in the dispute or disputes.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM08

 

 

	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends
to present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later
than the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party
could not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party
seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other
Party’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to
issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms
expressed in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty
insurance and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the
strict rules of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the
Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as modified
by
sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event that, in a
consolidated
proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking payment of a total
amount that is
no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the currency equivalent thereof.
Sections
16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the second sentence of section 16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined
Procedures shall not apply. The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures
to
appoint a single umpire, and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.)
as the
list to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties
mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming
any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered on any award.
If
such an order is issued, the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the
attorneys’
fees incurred of the Party who applied for the confirmation order and all court costs of
any such
proceeding.

	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any
participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any
single Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and
all disputes between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of
this Contract or any contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single
arbitration proceeding before a single Panel, except that the standard for
determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or dispute to an
arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a Position statement, as
set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company has the
right to combine any and all disputes between the Company and a single Subscribing
Reinsurer into a single arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such
disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts between the two
Parties, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new
issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more
than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this
Contract, where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of
conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided,
however, that the Reinsurers shall have the right to assert several, rather than
joint defenses or claims, and to be represented by separate counsel. This
provision shall not change the liability of each of the Reinsurers under the terms
of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to
this Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an
Alternative Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall
apply the law as set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Option to Litigate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, to
the extent that the
Company has demanded payment of a total amount of at least twenty million dollars
($20,000,000) or the currency equivalent thereof from any Subscribing Reinsurer or from
the Reinsurers, the Company reserves the right to initiate litigation to resolve any
disputes arising from such demand.
	 
	J.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Contract.

ARTICLE
17 — ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, OR TRANSFER (LM-00300-2007.10.05-A)

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that
this Contract may not be assigned, novated or transferred, including any attempted transfer
of rights and/or obligations under any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation or
jurisprudence, by either the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer, or as the result of the
actions of a parent company or affiliated entity of either, without the prior written
consent of the other. In the event of any assignment, novation or transfer, the assignor,
novator or transferor shall remain liable under this Contract, and further guarantees the

performance of all obligations of any assignee, novatee or transferee under this Contract.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this Contract to an affiliated
entity, without the Subscribing Reinsurer’s written consent.

ARTICLE 18 — CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE (LM-00400-2005.11.10-A)

	A.	 	Confidential Information. The submission materials, and any Policy,
financial, underwriting, accounting, and claims information, data statements,
representations, and other materials provided by the Company or it affiliates and
received by the Subscribing Reinsurer in the course of an audit, inspection, or
otherwise, represent confidential or proprietary information (“Confidential
Information”). This Confidential Information is intended for the sole use of the
Subscribing Reinsurer (and its retrocessionaires, respective auditors, accountants, and
legal counsel) as may be necessary in analyzing and/or accepting a participation in and/
or executing its responsibilities under or related to this Contract. The Subscribing
Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any review of Confidential
Information by the Subscribing Reinsurer, and/or discussion of Confidential Information,
the Company and its affiliates do not waive and do not intend to waive any available
privilege or protection. The review of Confidential Information by the Subscribing
Reinsurer and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its
affiliates shall not destroy, waive, or otherwise impair the proprietary and/or protected
status of any Confidential Information or any information revealed in such discussion
with the personnel of the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed
with the Subscribing Reinsurer intentionally or inadvertently, nor does the review of the
Confidential Information and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company
or its affiliates constitute an estoppel or waiver of the Company’s or its affiliates’
rights to assert the attorney-client or work-product privileges, or any other applicable
privilege or protection, over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its
affiliates’ files and/or certain information.
	 
	B.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree that no confidentiality obligations
will apply to Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information: (1)
is or becomes available to the public, other than as a result of impermissible disclosure
by the Subscribing Reinsurer, (2) was or became available lawfully to the Subscribing
Reinsurer from a source, other than the Company, its affiliates or their personnel, that
is not subject to a confidentiality obligation, (3) was developed independently by the
Subscribing Reinsurer prior to disclosure by the Company, its affiliates or their
personnel, as demonstrated by the Subscribing Reinsurer’s records, or (4) is required to
be disclosed by law, regulation, court, or regulatory agency action, subject to Paragraph
E of this Article.
	 
	C.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to preserve all confidentiality and privilege
pertaining to all Confidential Information provided by the Company and all knowledge and
information gained through its review of Confidential Information or discussions with the
personnel of the Company or its affiliates. The Subscribing Reinsurer further agrees not
to disclose any such Confidential Information to any other person or entity except as
such disclosure may be necessary to its retrocessionaires, accountants, attorneys,
auditors, actuaries or third party catastrophe modelers or as otherwise required by law.
The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees that no Confidential Information is to be copied and/or
removed from the Company’s or its affiliates’ premises without the express permission of
the Company.
	 
	D.	 	Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, any disclosure
of non-public personally identifiable information shall comply with all state and federal
statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of non-public personally identifiable
information. “Non-public personally identifiable information” is financial or medical
information of or concerning a private person which either has been obtained from sources
which are not available to the general public or obtained from the person who is the
subject and which information is included in data files exchanged by

as names and addresses of individuals. Disclosing or using this information for any
purpose beyond the scope of this Contract, or beyond the exceptions set forth above, is
expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Third-Party Demand. Should the Subscribing Reinsurer receive a third-party
demand pursuant to subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order, to disclose
Confidential Information (including Non-public personally identifiable information) that
has been provided by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand
and prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a
reasonable opportunity to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the
release of the Confidential Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the
reasonable requests of the Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist
release of the Confidential Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the
release of the Confidential Information.
	 
	F.	 	Survival. The parties agree that the obligations contained in this Article
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Contract.

ARTICLE 19 — CURRENCY (LM-00500-2005.08.09)

mean United States Dollars (“USD”). However, in those cases where the Policies are issued by
the Company using Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), it shall mean Canadian Dollars. All payments made
by either party shall be made in United States Dollars except that payments made involving
Policies issued using Canadian Dollars shall be made in Canadian Dollars. All amounts paid or
received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted into United States Dollars at
the rate of exchange on the date at which it is entered on the books of the Company.

This Contract and the Novations of which it forms a part, shall constitute the entire
agreement between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer with respect to the subject matter
of this Contract and shall supersede all prior understandings, negotiations and discussions,
whether oral or written, by or between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer relating to
the subject matter hereof. There are no general or specific warranties, representations or
other agreements by or among the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in connection with

ARTICLE 22 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (LM-00800-2005.06.02-A)

Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with the terms and conditions of this
Contract 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 delay,
omission, or error is rectified upon discovery.

ARTICLE 23 — FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (LM-01000-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Article is applicable to any Subscribing Reinsurer who is domiciled outside of the
United States of America, except for any Subscribing Reinsurer exempt from Federal Excise
Tax. A Subscribing Reinsurer that claims exempt status from Federal Excise Tax shall provide
to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the
demands of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, or its successor
and/or other applicable U.S. government authority.
	 
	B.	 	Each Subscribing Reinsurer shall allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable

paying Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax.

aforesaid percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent
shall recover such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE 24 — FEDERAL TERRORISM EXCESS RECOVERY (LM-01100-2007.12.28-A)

	A	 	Any loss reimbursement the Company receives from the United States Government under the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 and any subsequent amendments thereto (“TRIA”) as a
result of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract shall apply as
follows:
	 
	B.	 	Except as provided below, any loss reimbursement under TRIA shall inure solely to the
benefit of the Company and shall be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions
of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	If one or more loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract result(s) in
reinsurance recoveries to the Company under this Contract and reimbursement under TRIA, and
such amounts, together with any other reinsurance recoveries to the Company for said loss
occurrence(s), exceed the total amount of “Insured Losses” to the Company, any amount in
excess thereof shall be held by the Company. The Company shall then reimburse the
Subscribing Reinsurer a portion of such excess recovery in an amount equal to the
proportion that the Subscribing Reinsurer’s payment under this Contract bears to the total
treaty reinsurance recoveries to the Company for Insured Losses for said loss
occurrence(s). Provided, however, that in no event shall such reimbursement exceed the
amount paid by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company under this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	For purposes hereof, if a loss reimbursement received by the Company under TRIA is based
on the Company’s Insured Losses in more than one loss occurrence and neither the Secretary
of the Treasury nor his delegate specifies the amount of loss allocable to each respective
loss occurrence, the reimbursement shall be pro-rated in the proportion that the Company’s
Insured Losses in each loss occurrence bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses
resulting from all loss occurrences to which the reimbursement applies.
	 
	E.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Insured Loss(es)” shall have the same meaning as set
forth in Section 102(5) of TRIA.

ARTICLE 25 — GOVERNING LAW (LM-01200-2005.06.02-A)

The validity and interpretation of this Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

ARTICLE 26 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2005.08.24-A)

(If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that
domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be
payable on demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed
against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator,
receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such
claims, without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (a) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(b) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the
Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any sums from the
deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of sections 11691
– 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 27 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing Reinsurer
or to the
Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the
Subscribing Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim,
and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is
not received within 45 calendar days following the date on which payment is due,
and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not
received within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this
Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus 2%. The
variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as published
in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each successive
month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%. The product shall then be
multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due and the interest
amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article shall be calculated
by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract.
If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect to the
amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party wholly or
partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be awarded as
outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the monies were due
and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and shall be payable as
of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall be waived. Any
waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not affect the waiving Party’s
right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by the other Party to make payment when
due under this Article.

Subscribing Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial or
expedient to the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole judge
as to what claims are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss and Loss
Occurrences, as well as all loss settlements made and judgments paid by the Company,
provided they are within the terms of this Contract either under the strict conditions of
the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be unconditionally binding upon the Subscribing
Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable immediately upon
reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing Reinsurer by the
Company. The true intent of this Contract is that the Subscribing Reinsurer shall, in every
case to which this Contract applies, follow the settlements and the fortunes of the Company.
	 
	C.	 	The Company shall advise the Subscribing Reinsurer of all claims which:

	 	1.	 	Are reserved by the Company in excess of 50.0% of the Company’s retention.

	A.	 	In the event of any dispute or difference of opinion arising out of or relating to this
Contract, including but not limited to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach
of this Contract, whether such dispute arises before or after the expiration of this
Contract, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer may mutually agree in writing that,
prior to or at any time during an arbitration proceeding, they will submit such dispute or
difference of opinion to non-binding mediation which will be held at a location mutually
agreed by the parties. The parties agree that any non-binding mediation conducted during any
stage of an arbitration process shall be conducted concurrently with such arbitration
process, and that the arbitration process or proceedings shall not be stayed unless both the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree.
	 
	B.	 	Each Party shall submit a list of not more than four (4) potential mediators to the other
party within the fourteen (14) days of reaching such mutual agreement. The two Parties shall
then agree on the appointment on one (1) mediator from the combined lists within seven (7)
days. The mediator shall be a neutral, impartial third party, without past employment or
directorial relationships with the parties to the mediation. Such mediator shall make full
disclosure of all past partisan relationships with either the Company or Subscribing
Reinsurer to the parties within seven (7) days of his or her notification that he or she has
been selected as a Mediator.
	 
	C.	 	If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on a mediator within twenty-one
(21) days from the date of a mutual agreement to mediate, then arbitration proceedings may
commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	D.	 	The mediator will schedule an initial mediation session within thirty (30) days of his or
her appointment and will be responsible for the formulation of an agenda to be distributed
to the parties involved in the mediation not less than five (5) days before the mediation
commences.
	 
	E.	 	The mediator will not have the power of enforcement of any agreement between the parties
nor will the mediator have any right to assess any damages, including punitive damages, to
either party participating in the mediation.

	F.	 	If, in the opinion of the mediator, the parties cannot resolve the dispute or difference of
opinion, arbitration proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article. In
any event, the mediation shall conclude within sixty (60) days of its referral to the
mediator. Should the mediation not be resolved in sixty (60) days, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	G.	 	Each Party shall bear the expense of its own representatives and shall jointly and equally
bear with the other Party the expenses of the mediator and the place of mediation.

ARTICLE 30 — OFFSET (LM-01700-2005.06.02-A)

Each Party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other).
Such offset may include balances due under this Contract, and any other contracts between the
parties, whether such balances arises from premium, losses, or otherwise, and regardless of the
capacity of any party, whether as assuming and/or ceding insurer, under the various reinsurance
contracts involved, provided however, that in the event of insolvency of a Party hereto, offsets
shall only be allowed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law, statute, or
regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 31 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2007.10.10-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under the
Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled. Without
first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not, either directly
or as the result of an action of a parent company or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or
foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer
to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any
estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. It is
further expressly understood and agreed that in the event the Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to
require the Company to settle their claims liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall
continue to have the right to utilize or to draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under
the terms of this Contract. This Article does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer from settling any claims liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to
both parties. This Article shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and
the Subscribing Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

ARTICLE 32 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2006.09.12-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to waive such rights in the settlement
of a disputed claim, or the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the
Company enforces the right to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims
arising out of such right. Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the
Subscribing Reinsurer is hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in
the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation

	 	 	recovery, the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery
is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 33 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2005.08.24-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized Reinsurers and to Reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit
instituted against any of them upon this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such
Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon; Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750 Seventh Avenue,
New York, NY 10019-6829.)
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the above-named as the person to whom the
said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 34 — SEVERABILITY (LM-02000-2005.06.02-A)

regulations, or public policy of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such state,

Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and
undischarged ten (10) days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal
to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in
a separate account in the name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial
institution apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes as
specified above as may remain after withdrawal and for any period after the

Obligations are less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company

	E.	 	If the Subscribing Reinsurer fails to fund such Obligations by Letters of Credit as
described above, the Company may terminate this Contract at any time by the giving of
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	The coverage afforded by this Contract shall cease as of the date of termination and the
Subscribing Reinsurer shall return the unearned premium, if any. If coverage hereunder
terminates while a claim covered by this Contract is in progress, the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall be liable subject to all other conditions hereof for its proportion of the entire
claim, provided that the event giving rise to the claim started before such termination.
	 
	G.	 	If the Company elects to terminate this Contract, the Company shall have the option to
commute the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability for loss(es), whether reported or unreported,
comprising the sum total of the present value of the ceded: (1) case reserves and allocated
loss adjustment expense, (2) projected ultimate losses, (3) any unearned premium reserve,
and (4) undiscounted outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the “Commutation Losses”), on
Policies covered by this Contract as of the effective date of termination.

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing the elements
considered reasonable to establish the Commutation Losses, and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested. In the event the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the statement of valuation of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s liability under such Policies, either party may request in writing that
the differences be settled by a panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint
an actuary to assess such liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
written request for commutation. Upon such appointment, the two actuaries shall
appoint a third actuary. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary
within thirty (30) days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three
individuals, of whom the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be
made by drawing lots. The actuaries shall then investigate and capitalize such
Commutation Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “capitalize” shall
mean to determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.
	 
	 	2.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the commutation
shall be equally divided between the parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	3.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with the parties
hereto, shall be final and binding, except that if the Company does not agree with
the capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no
obligation to commute. In the event the Company does not agree with the capitalized
value of the Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the
expense of the actuaries including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by
the Subscribing Reinsurer will be paid by the Company. If the Contract is commuted,
payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party
mutually agreed upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a
complete and final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability
under this Contract.

	H.	 	Termination under the terms of this Article can be made after the date of expiration of
this Contract.

ARTICLE
36 — THIRD PARTIES (LM-02700-2005.09.27-A)

This Contract shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any third party whatsoever
unless said right or remedy is specifically granted to such third party by the terms of this
Contract.

ARTICLE 37 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2006.10.26-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the
Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on
its books reserves for unearned premium and 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 unearned premium,
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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared
by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by funds
withheld, cash advances, or Letters of Credit unless the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method of funding is determined by applicable law,
statute, or regulation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall agree to fund such Subscribing
Reinsurer Obligations by Letters of Credit.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and
secure timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of
Credit issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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 Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year,
and shall be automatically extended for one year from their date of expiration or any
future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall
notify the Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the
Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of
the following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of premiums
returned to the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract because of
cancellations of the Policies;
	 
	 	2.	 	To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company under provisions of the
Policies reinsured under this Contract;
	 
	 	3.	 	To fund an account with the Company in an amount at least equal to the
deduction for reinsurance ceded from the Company’s liabilities for Policies ceded
under this Contract. The account shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for

	 	 	 	Reinsurance Addendum 2
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100300-SUM08

 

 

	 	 	Declaratory Judgment Expense shall be deemed to have been fully incurred on the same

provided for within this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	The term “Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses” as used above, means the fees and expenses of
attorneys, including the fees and expenses of the Company’s or its affiliates’ in-house

	D.	 	“Post or Prejudgment Interest or Delayed Damages” shall mean interest or damages added to a

settlement,
verdict, award, or judgment whether or not made part of the settlement, verdict, award, or

recoverable
until the Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. In the event a verdict or judgment is
reduced by an appeal or a settlement subsequent to the entry of the judgment, thereby
resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or in the event a judgment is
reversed outright, the loss adjustment expense incurred in securing such final reduction or
reversal shall be prorated between the Reinsurers and the Company in the proportion that
each benefits from such reduction or reversal, and the expenses incurred up to the time of
the original verdict or judgment shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss. In the event there
is no reduction or reversal of a verdict or judgment, the loss adjustment expense incurred
in attempting to secure such reduction or reversal shall be added to the Ultimate Net Loss.

ARTICLE 9 — LOSS ADJUSTMENT AND SETTLEMENT (LM-01500-2006.09.07-A)

	A.	 	The Company shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Subscribing Reinsurer of any

Reinsurer informed of significant developments likely to affect the cost of any claim or
claims
hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The Company may commence, continue, defend, settle, or withdraw from actions, suits, or
prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which the
Subscribing
Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial or expedient to
the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole judge as to what
claims
are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss, as well as all loss
settlements made
and judgments paid by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this Contract
either
under the strict conditions of the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be
unconditionally binding
upon the Subscribing Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable
immediately upon reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing
Reinsurer by the Company. The true intent of this Contract is that the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall,
in every case to which this Contract applies, follow the settlements of the Company.

other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any
claim covered hereunder.

	A.	 	This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof for ninety percent

resolution or settlement discussions involving any claim.

corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or
settlement of any claim covered hereunder.
	 
	C.	 	With regard to excess of Policy limits, 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. The date on which any Loss in excess of the Company’s
original Policy limit is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances,
to be the date of the original Occurrence, accident, casualty, disaster, loss
occurrence or loss, as selected by the Company.

ARTICLE 13 — COMMUTATION (LM-02601-2005.08.18-W)

	A.	 	Eighty-four (84) months after the expiry of this Contract, the Company shall advise the
Subscribing
Reinsurer of any loss occurrence which may not have been finally settled and which may
cause a claim under this Contract. Upon review, if either the Company or any
Subscribing Reinsurer requests commutation, such commutation shall proceed for all
Subscribing Reinsurers, as follows:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall prepare a final claim against the Subscribing Reinsurer
in respect of such Loss Occurrence.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall review the final claim
and shall attempt to reach settlement by mutual agreement.
	 
	 	3.	 	The final claim shall be calculated in accordance with the
following criteria:

latest available United States Census Table as follows:

	 	•	 	Survivor Benefits      - Total Female or Male, whichever applies
	 
	 	•	 	Disability Benefits     - Total Population

	 	 	 	The mortality assumptions should reflect: (a) the mortality improvement
since the publication of the most recent U.S. Census Table, and (b) the
life impairment of the injured worker.
	 
	 	b.	 	Remarriage expectations shall be in accordance with the
assumptions used by the National Council on Compensation Insurance in its
statistical tables, adjusted for the gender of the survivor.

No. 0100300-SUM08

 

 

	 	c.	 	For all future medical costs, projected cash payments shall be based
upon projected long-term medical care and rehabilitation requirements, using
the average annual Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation rate of the
past twenty (20) years using the most recent published tables, going back
twenty (20) years.
	 
	 	d.	 	For all future indemnity costs, projected cash payments shall
be calculated based upon the average historical actual Cost-Of-Living
Adjustment (COLA) over, however many years of information are available, but
no more than twenty (20) years; up through the most recent published data that
is available from the State or Federal governing body over Workers
Compensation, whichever may apply.
	 
	 	e.	 	The annual interest discount percentage shall be calculated as
the average yield to maturity of all United States Treasury Bonds maturing
during the calendar quarter that is fifteen (15) years after the calendar
quarter in which the commutation date falls.
	 
	 	f.	 	The final claim shall be the amount of cash payments made,
plus the discounted present value of the future payments as determined by the
above calculations. The final claim with respect to each injured worker or
fatality shall then be capped at $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 as respects the
coverage provided in Exhibit A). The resulting individual values shall then be
summed together. The Company’s retention shall then be subtracted from this
amount and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay up to the per occurrence limit
afforded under this Contract.

	B.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer are unable to reach a settlement
following the criteria laid out in steps A.1.a-f above, then the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall, within four (4) weeks from the written request of one of the parties,
mutually appoint an independent actuarial consulting firm or, in the event that they fail to
agree on the selection of an independent actuarial consulting firm within four (4) weeks,
each party shall name three independent actuarial consulting firms of which the other party
shall decline two, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. The appointed independent
actuarial consulting firm shall investigate, determine, and value the Loss Occurrence. The
valuation of such Loss Occurrence shall use the assumptions and methodologies as stated
above. The independent actuarial consulting firm’s decisions to the valuation of such final
claim shall be final and binding.
	 
	C.	 	Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed
upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company of the final claim as determined by the
procedures described above, in respect of each such Loss Occurrence shall constitute complete
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer from liability for each such Loss Occurrence.

ARTICLE 14 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2006.09.12-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the settlement of a disputed claim, or the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the Company shall enforce the
right to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right.
Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is
hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogations recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation recovery, the

	 	 	expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total
Loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery
is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the Loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that Loss.

ARTICLE 15 — CURRENCY (LM-00500-2005.08.09)

Whenever a reference to a monetary currency appears in this Contract, it shall be construed to
mean United States Dollars (“USD”). All payments made by either party shall be made in United
States Dollars. All amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be
converted into United States Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date at which it is entered on
the books of the Company.

ARTICLE 16 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2007.08.13-A)

	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly
authorized representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its affiliates,
during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting, or claim records
and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they exist in the Company’s
or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to business ceded under this
Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably describe the nature of the
inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting the inspection and upon notice
of available files from the Company, the files that it wishes to review. Subject to the
limitations expressed in this Article, this right of inspection shall survive termination or
expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either Party has any rights or
obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or files
concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is more than ninety (90) days
overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an
arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable
specific requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer
concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of
the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant information in an arbitration
proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer,
its personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer (1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party
consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege
or (4) concerning individual private information that as a matter of law cannot be disclosed
by the Company or its affiliates (hereinafter referred to in the Contract as “Privileged
Documents”). The Company shall reasonably try to exempt the Subscribing Reinsurers from any
third party non-disclosure agreement or obtain consent from the third party to disclose to
the Subscribing Reinsurers.

No. 0100300-SUM08

 

 

	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of the
case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all claimants, and all parties to
such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged
Documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect
to that claim or case, which might jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by
release of such Privileged Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer
release of such Privileged Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it
will in consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary
to provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to
indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The
Subscribing Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to
any dispute between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in Section
1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney–Client Privilege” shall
mean communications of a confidential nature between 1) the Company or its affiliates, or
anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or their in-house or
outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel, and 2) any in-house or
outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by the Company or its
affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the Company or its
affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written materials and
tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared by or for the
Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with litigation, arbitration,
or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 17 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (LM-00800-2005.06.02-A)

	A.	 	Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with the terms and conditions of this
Contract 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
delay, omission, or error is rectified upon discovery.
	 
	B.	 	However, this Article shall not override the application of the commutation of losses as set
forth in Commutation Article.

ARTICLE 18 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2005.08.24-A)

(If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that
domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable
on demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against
the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (1) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(2) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of

	 	 	the Subscribing Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the
obligations of the Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elects
to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the
terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company.
	 
	D.	 	Applicable to a Subscribing Reinsurer licensed to write Workers’ Compensation business
in California.

With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon thirty (30)-days notice, draw upon any sums
from the deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of
sections 11691 – 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 19 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2007.05.03-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution procedures
that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and
any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or
tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination,
including disputes as to whether the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be
submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an
umpire and two (2) party-appointed arbitrators unless a Party meets the requirements of
Paragraph C of this Article and demands arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel
would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for the resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel
Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance
Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance with
Alternative section 6.2 of the Procedures.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the
list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be impartial
and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the control of any
Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or officer of any
Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in the arbitration.
The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the Panel shall have the
same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties

	 	 	 	 	 

	Effective: January 1, 2010

	 	Page 11 of 30
	 	Workers’ Compensation Catastrophe Excess of Loss

Reinsurance Addendum 2

No. 0100300-SUM08

 

 

	 	 	 	and decisions with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel
members may have been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of
impartiality does not mean that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or
experience with respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends
to present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later than
the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party could
not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party
seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other Party’s
agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to
issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms expressed
in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty insurance
and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the strict rules
of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as
modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event
that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking
payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the
currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the second sentence of section
16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall not apply. The Parties agree to comply
with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a single umpire, and hereby designate the
umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered
on any award. If such

	 	 	an order is issued, the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the attorneys’
fees incurred of the Party who applied for the confirmation order and all court costs of
any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any single
Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all disputes
between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this Contract or any
contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single arbitration proceeding
before a single Panel, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add
a new issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company has the right to
combine any and all disputes between the Company and a single Subscribing Reinsurer
into a single arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such disputes involve
this Contract and any additional contracts between the two Parties, except that the
standard for determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or dispute to an
arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a Position statement, as set
forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more than one
Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this Contract, where
there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or
inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided, however, that the Reinsurers
shall have the right to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, and to
be represented by separate counsel. This provision shall not change the liability of
each of the Reinsurers under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to this
Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an Alternative
Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall apply the law as
set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Contract.

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not

	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not received
within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of
this Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within ninety (90)
calendar days following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus two percent
(2%). The variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as
published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each
successive month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus two percent (2%). The
product shall then be multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due
and the interest amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article
shall be calculated by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect
to the amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party
wholly or partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be
awarded as outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the
monies were due and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and
shall be payable as of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is one hundred dollars ($100)
or less shall be waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however,
shall not affect the waiving Party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other
failure by the other Party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 21 — DIVIDENDS AND TAXES (LM-00600-2005.06.02-A)

In consideration of the terms of this Contract, the Company shall not claim any deduction in
respect of any amount paid as dividends or as reinsurance premium when making tax returns, other
than income or profits tax returns to any State or to the District of Columbia.

ARTICLE 22 — FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (LM-01000-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	This Article is applicable to any Subscribing Reinsurer who is domiciled outside of the
United States of America, except for any Subscribing Reinsurer exempt from Federal Excise
Tax. A Subscribing Reinsurer that claims exempt status from Federal Excise Tax shall provide
to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the
demands of the U.S. Internal Revenue Agency and/or other applicable U.S. government
authority.

	B.	 	Each Subscribing Reinsurer shall allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable
hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of
paying Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax.
	 
	C.	 	In the event of any return of premium, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct the aforesaid
percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover
such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE 23 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other)
under this Contract. Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of whether
such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the event of
insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 24 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2005.08.24-A)

(This Article applies to unauthorized Reinsurers and to Reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit
instituted against any of them upon this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such
Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750 Seventh Avenue,
New York, NY 10019-6829.
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the above-named as the person to whom the
said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy
thereof.

ARTICLE 25 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2006.10.26-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter 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 unearned premium and 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 unearned premium,
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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by
the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by funds
withheld, cash advances, or Letters of Credit. Unless the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method of funding is determined by applicable law,
statute, or regulation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall agree to fund such Subscribing
Reinsurer Obligations by Letters of Credit.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure
timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of Credit
issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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
Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be
automatically extended for one year from their date of expiration or any future expiration
date unless sixty (60) days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the
Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the
following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	a.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of
premiums returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract on account of
cancellations of such Policies; and
	 
	 	b.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company, but not yet
recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of
the Policies reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	c.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts
necessary to secure the credit or reduction from liability for

replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and
undischarged ten (10) days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal to
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in a
separate account in the name of the Company in a qualified

	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
as applicable.
	 
	E.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose
of amending the Letters 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
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the
Company of an amendment to the Letters 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 thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from the Subscribing
Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess
credit.

	F.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers
(“Party”, individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or
concerning this Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator
Program. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the ARIAS Newer Arbitrator Program expedited
proceeding with a single Newer Arbitrator shall be used to resolve any such disputes.

	A.	 	Confidential Information. The submission materials, and any Policy, financial,
underwriting, accounting, and claims information, data statements, representations, and other
materials provided by the Company or it affiliates and received by the Subscribing Reinsurer
in the course of an audit, inspection, or otherwise, represent confidential or proprietary

sole use of the Subscribing Reinsurer (and its retrocessionaires, respective auditors,
accountants, and legal counsel) as may be necessary in analyzing and/or accepting a
participation in and/or executing its responsibilities under or related to this Contract.
The Subscribing Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any review of
Confidential Information by the Subscribing Reinsurer, and/or discussion of Confidential
Information, the Company and its affiliates do not waive and do not intend to waive any
available privilege or protection. The review of Confidential Information by the Subscribing
Reinsurer and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its affiliates
shall not destroy, waive, or otherwise impair the proprietary and/or protected status of any
Confidential Information or any information revealed in such discussion with the personnel of
the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed with the Subscribing
Reinsurer intentionally or inadvertently, nor does the review of the Confidential Information
and/or discussion of Confidential Information with the Company or its affiliates constitute
an estoppel or waiver of the Company’s or its affiliates’ rights to assert the
attorney-client or work-product privileges, or any other applicable privilege or protection,
over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its affiliates’ files and/or certain
information.

Confidential Information to any other person or entity except as such disclosure may be
necessary to its retrocessionaires, accountants, attorneys, auditors, actuaries or third
party catastrophe modelers or as otherwise required by law. The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees
that no Confidential Information is to be copied and/or removed from the Company’s or its
affiliates’ premises without the express permission of the Company.
	 
	D.	 	Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, any disclosure of
non-public personally identifiable information shall comply with all state and federal
statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of non-public personally identifiable
information. “Non-public personally identifiable information” is financial or medical
information of or concerning a private person which either has been obtained from sources
which are not available to the general public or obtained from the person who is the subject
and which information is included in data files exchanged by the parties hereto. For the
purposes hereof, the terms shall include data elements such as names and addresses of
individuals. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose beyond the scope of this
Contract, or beyond the exceptions set forth above, is expressly forbidden without the prior
consent of the Company.

by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to
disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a reasonable opportunity
to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the release of the Confidential
Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the reasonable requests of the
Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist release of the Confidential
Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the release of the Confidential
Information.
	 
	F.	 	Survival. The parties agree that the obligations contained in this Article shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Contract.

recoveries to the Company for Insured Losses for said loss occurrence(s). Provided, however,
that in no event shall such reimbursement exceed the amount paid by the Subscribing Reinsurer

Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts
in a separate account in the name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial
institution apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes as
specified above as may remain after withdrawal and for any period after the
termination date.

	D.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare an adjusted statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letters of Credit, in the following manner:

fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the
Company of an amendment to the Letters of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the
amount of such difference.

are less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall,
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written request from the Subscribing
Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess
credit.

	E.	 	If the Subscribing Reinsurer fails to fund such Obligations by Letters of Credit as
described above, the Company may terminate this Contract at any time by the giving of thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	The coverage afforded by this Contract shall cease as of the date of termination and the

loss adjustment expense, (2) projected ultimate losses, (3) any unearned premium reserve, and
(4) undiscounted outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the “Commutation Losses”), on Policies
covered by this Contract as of the effective date of termination.

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing the elements considered

amount requested. In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the
statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability under such

	 	 	 	Policies, either party may request in writing that the differences be settled by a
panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint an actuary to assess such
liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written request for
commutation. Upon such appointment, the two (2) actuaries shall appoint a third
actuary. If the two (2) actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty
(30) days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three (3) individuals,
of whom the other shall decline two (2), and the final decision shall be made by
drawing lots. The actuaries shall then investigate and capitalize such Commutation
Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “capitalize” shall mean to
determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.
	 
	 	2.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the commutation
shall be equally divided between the parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	3.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto,
shall be final and binding, except that if the Company does not agree with the
capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no obligation to
commute. In the event the Company does not agree with the capitalized value of the
Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the expense of the
actuaries, including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by the Subscribing
Reinsurer, will be paid by the Company. If the Contract is commuted, payment by the
Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed upon by
the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a complete and final
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability under this Contract.

	H.	 	Termination under the terms of this Article can be made after the date of expiration of this
Contract.

ARTICLE 32 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2007.10.10-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under the
Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled. Without
first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not, either directly
or as the result of an action of a parent company or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or
foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer
to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any
estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. It is
further expressly understood and agreed that in the event the Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to
require the Company to settle their claims liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall
continue to have the right to utilize or to draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under
the terms of this Contract. This Article does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer from settling any claims liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to
both parties. This Article shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and
the Subscribing Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in defending or prosecuting litigation,
including appeals, arbitration, or any alternative dispute resolution or settlement
discussions involving any claim.

covered hereunder.

in connection with: (i) the handling of any claim under the Policies covered by this Contract,

unearned premium is to be calculated on a monthly pro rata basis.
	 
	B.	 	The term “Net Premiums Written” shall mean gross premiums written less returns,

ARTICLE 13 — REPORTS AND REMITTANCES

	A.	 	The Company shall furnish the Subscribing Reinsurer with all necessary data respecting
premiums and losses for as long as one of the parties hereto has a claim against the other
arising from this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	Reinsurance Premiums are settled between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer, no
less frequently than on a quarterly basis. For purposes of calculating the minimum and
deposit premium paid by each company (Bridgefield Casualty Insurance Company and
Bridgefield Employers Insurance Company), the minimum and deposit premium was multiplied by
the ratio that the Subject Earned Premium of each bore to the total Subject Earned Premium
of the Company. The Company submitted finalized accounts to the Subscribing Reinsurer in
2010, summarizing the actual Subject Earned Premium for the previous year. The difference
between the Annual Deposit premium and the actual Subject Earned Premium was settled
to/from the Company. However, the annual adjusted premium was not less than the Annual
Minimum premium for each layer, set forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Annual	 	Annual
	Layer	 	Deposit	 	Minimum
	First Layer
	 	$	5,199,290	 	 	$	4,159,432	 
	Second Layer
	 	$	2,462,822	 	 	$	1,970,258	 
	Third Layer
	 	$	1.751,340	 	 	$	1.401.072	 
	 
	Total
	 	$	9,413,452	 	 	$	7,530,762	 

	C.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer has made payment to the Company for its portion of Loss and
Loss Adjustment Expense obligations presented prior to 12:01 a.m. Local Standard time,
January 1, 2010 and shall immediately make payment to the Company for its portion of the
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses obligations, upon reasonable evidence to be furnished by
the Company, of the amount due or to be due after the effective date of this contract.

ARTICLE 14 — ACCESS TO RECORDS (LM-00100-2008.08.25-A)

	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer, or its duly
authorized
representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its
affiliates, during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting,
or claim records and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they
exist in the Company’s or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to
business ceded under this Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably
describe the nature of the inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting
the inspection and, upon notice of available files from the Company, the files that it
wishes to review. Subject to the limitations expressed in this Article, this right of
inspection shall survive termination or expiration of this Contract and shall continue
as long as either Party has any rights or obligations under this Contract.

	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or
files concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed
liability for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is(are) more than
ninety (90) days overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however,
prior to an arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to
respond to reasonable specific requests for information and questions raised by the
Subscribing Reinsurer concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict
the right or ability of the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant
information in a proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.

	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing
Reinsurer, its personnel, and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing
Reinsurer: (1) concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to
the terms of a third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates
requiring third party consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work-Product Privilege or
Attorney-Client Privilege, or (4) concerning individual private information that, as a
matter of law, cannot be disclosed by the Company or its affiliates (hereinafter referred
to in the Contract as “Privileged Documents”). The Company shall reasonably try to exempt
the Subscribing Reinsurer from any third party non-disclosure agreement or obtain consent
from the third party to disclose to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	E.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in
connection with the underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or
final adjudication of the case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all
claimants, and all parties to such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer
release of such Privileged Documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other
third party actions with respect to that claim or case, which may jeopardize the Company’s
or its affiliates’ defense by release of such Privileged Documents. In the event that the
Company shall seek to defer release of such Privileged Documents or to withhold documents
concerning Trade Secrets, it will in consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take
other steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the
information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such
privileges or protections. The Subscribing Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to
Privileged Documents relating to any dispute between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in
Section 1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney-Client
Privilege” shall mean communications of a confidential nature between: (1) the Company or
its affiliates, or anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates,
or their in-house or outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal
counsel, and (2) any in-house or outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being
sought by the Company or its affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided
to the Company or its affiliates. “Work-Product Privilege” shall mean communications,
written materials, and tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or
prepared by or for the Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with
litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 15 — AMENDMENTS

This Contract may be amended by mutual consent of the parties expressed in an addendum; and
such addendum, when executed by both parties, shall be deemed to be an integral part of this
Contract and binding on the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 16 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2008.06.27-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution
procedures that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between
the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or
“Parties” collectively) arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether
sounding in contract or tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s
formation, or after its termination, including disputes as to whether the Contract was
validly formed or is voidable, shall be submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel
(“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an umpire and two party-appointed arbitrators
unless a Party meets the requirements of Paragraph C of this Article and demands
arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel would consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon
the Procedures for the Resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular
Panel Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and
Reinsurance Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance
with section 6.2 of the Procedures, except that other professionals who have
worked for at least 10 years for an insurer or reinsurer shall also be qualified
to serve as an arbitrator or umpire.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS
(U.S.) as the list to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures
is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be
impartial and disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the
control of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or
officer of any Party or its parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness
in the arbitration. The requirement of impartiality means that all members of the
Panel shall have the same obligation to approach the Panel’s duties and decisions
with fairness and without consideration for the fact that Panel members may have
been appointed by one of the Parties. The requirement of impartiality does not
mean that any arbitrator can have no previous knowledge of or experience with
respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be
replaced by the following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party
submit concise written statements of position, including summaries of the facts
and evidence a Party intends to present, discussion of the applicable law and the
basis for the requested Award or denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for
a Party) shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the
issues before the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed
to all other Parties and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a
continuing duty to disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any
violation of this prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications
that occurred. This prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any
arbitration awards and decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later
than the close of discovery, without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party
could not reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within
one year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a
Party seek a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the
other Party’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority
to issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to
the prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following
provision: “The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the
terms expressed in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and
casualty insurance and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to
follow the strict rules of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the
Procedures, as modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply
in the event that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating
arbitration is seeking payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million
dollars ($1,000,000), or the currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and the
second sentence of section 16.4 of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall not apply.
The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a single umpire,
and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list to be used in
section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be
entered on any award. If the application for confirmation is contested and a judgment is
issued, confirming the award, then the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay
the attorneys’ fees incurred by the Party who applied for the confirmation and all court
costs of any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue
a restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any
single Subscribing Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all
disputes between them that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this
Contract or any contract for which this Contract is a renewal) into a single
arbitration proceeding before a single Panel, except that the standard for
determining whether a Party may add a new issue, claim, or

	 	 	 	dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a
Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer.

	 	a.	 	Either the Company or any single Subscribing Reinsurer
has the right to combine one arbitration proceeding before a single Panel
where such disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts
between the two Parties.
	 
	 	b.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject in each
instance to the mutual agreement of the Parties, new issues, claims, or
disputes may be added to such existing arbitration proceeding.

	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more
than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this
Contract, where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of
conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such 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 Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided,
however, that the Reinsurers shall have the right to assert several, rather than
joint defenses or claims, and to be represented by separate counsel. This
provision shall not change the liability of each of the Reinsurers under the terms
of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to
this Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an
Alternative Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall
apply the law as set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.
	 
	I.	 	Option to Litigate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, to the
extent that either
Party has demanded payment of a total amount of at least twenty million dollars
($20,000,000) or the currency equivalent thereof under this Contract, and an
arbitration demand has been served, either Party retains the option to initiate
litigation to resolve any disputes arising from such demand, provided however, that the
Party initiating such option to litigate must file suit within 60 days from the date on
which the arbitration demand was served. The Parties hereby waive their rights to a
jury trial in connection with any such litigation.
	 
	J.	 	Survival of Article. This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of
this Contract.

ARTICLE 17-ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, OR TRANSFER (LM-00300-2008.05.13-A)

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns provided, however, that
this Contract may not be assigned, novated or transferred, including any attempted transfer
of rights and/or obligations under any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation or
jurisprudence, by either the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer, or as the result of the
action(s) of a parent company or an affiliated entity of either, without the prior written
consent of the other. In the event of any assignment, novation, or transfer, the assignor,
novator, or transferor shall remain liable under this Contract, and further guarantees the
performance of all obligations of any assignee, novatee, or transferee under this Contract.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this Contract to an insurance entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, without the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s written consent.

the personnel of the Company or its affiliates, whether reviewed by and/or discussed with

or protection over certain documents contained in the Company’s or its affiliates’ files
and/or certain information.
	 
	B.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer agree that no confidentiality obligations

Subscribing Reinsurer further agrees not to disclose any such Confidential Information to

modelers or as otherwise required by law. The Subscribing Reinsurer agrees that no
Confidential Information is to be copied and/or removed from the Company’s or its
affiliates’ premises without the express permission of the Company.

	 	 	or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially reasonable
efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to
disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Company a reasonable
opportunity to object to the disclosure. If the Company timely objects to the release

Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further,
this Article and the laws of

the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any company intended to be
covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of
the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that domiciliary state’s
laws shall prevail.)

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be
payable, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against
the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except to the extent Section
4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law applies, or except (a) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or
(b) where the Subscribing Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the
Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed that in the event of
any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company and/or the failure of
the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this Contract, the
Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any sums from the
deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of sections 11691
 — 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 27 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing
Reinsurer or to the Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the
Subscribing Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim,
and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is
not received within 45 calendar days following the date on which payment is due,
and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either Party to the other, is not
received within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this
Contract, and/or

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not provided in
subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the date
specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor Party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective
payment obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be
subject to an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate
consisting of the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall
Street Journal on the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past
due, plus 2%. The variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S.
Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the
first day of each successive month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%.
The product shall then be multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the
amount due and the interest amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to
this Article shall be calculated by the Party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor Party prevails in arbitration or any other proceeding with respect
to the amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor Party
wholly or partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall
be awarded as outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the
monies were due and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and
shall be payable as of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the Party to which it is
owed. Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall
be waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not
affect the waiving Party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by
the other Party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 28 — LOSS ADJUSTMENT AND SETTLEMENT (LM-01500-2006.09.07-A)

	A.	 	The Company shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Subscribing Reinsurer of
any claim that it has reason to believe could involve this Contract. The Company shall
keep the Subscribing Reinsurer informed of significant developments likely to affect the
cost of any claim or claims hereunder.
	 
	B.	 	The Company may commence, continue, defend, settle, or withdraw from actions, suits,
or prosecutions and, generally, do all such things relating to any claim or loss in which
the Subscribing Reinsurer is interested as, in the Company’s judgment, may be beneficial
or expedient to the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer. The Company shall be the sole
judge as to what claims are covered under the Policies. All of the Ultimate Net Loss and
Loss Occurrences, as well as all loss settlements made and judgments paid by the Company,
provided they are within the terms of this Contract either under the strict conditions of
the Policies or by way of compromise, shall be unconditionally binding upon the
Subscribing Reinsurer, who agrees to pay all amounts for which they are liable immediately
upon reasonable evidence of the amount due being furnished to the Subscribing Reinsurer by
the Company. The true intent of this

	 	 	Contract is that the Subscribing Reinsurer shall, in every case to which this Contract
applies, follow the settlements and the fortunes of the Company.
	 
	C.	 	The Company shall advise the Subscribing Reinsurer of all claims which:

	 	1.	 	Are reserved by the Company in excess of 50.0% of the Company’s retention.

ARTICLE 29 — MEDIATION (LM-03000-2005.12.20-A)

	A.	 	In the event of any dispute or difference of opinion arising out of or relating to this
Contract, including but not limited to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach
of this Contract, whether such dispute arises before or after the expiration of this
Contract, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer may mutually agree in writing that,
prior to or at any time during an arbitration proceeding, they will submit such dispute or
difference of opinion to non-binding mediation which will be held at a location mutually
agreed by the parties. The parties agree that any non-binding mediation conducted during
any stage of an arbitration process shall be conducted concurrently with such arbitration
process, and that the arbitration process or proceedings shall not be stayed unless both
the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree.
	 
	B.	 	Each Party shall submit a list of not more than four (4) potential mediators to the
other party within the fourteen (14) days of reaching such mutual agreement. The two
Parties shall then agree on the appointment on one (1) mediator from the combined lists
within seven (7) days. The mediator shall be a neutral, impartial third party, without past
employment or directorial relationships with the parties to the mediation. Such mediator
shall make full disclosure of all past partisan relationships with either the Company or
Subscribing Reinsurer to the parties within seven (7) days of his or her notification that
he or she has been selected as a Mediator.
	 
	C.	 	If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on a mediator within
twenty-one (21) days from the date of a mutual agreement to mediate, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	D.	 	The mediator will schedule an initial mediation session within thirty (30) days of his
or her appointment and will be responsible for the formulation of an agenda to be
distributed to the parties involved in the mediation not less than five (5) days before the
mediation commences.
	 
	E.	 	The mediator will not have the power of enforcement of any agreement between the parties
nor will the mediator have any right to assess any damages, including punitive damages, to
either party participating in the mediation.
	 
	F.	 	If, in the opinion of the mediator, the parties cannot resolve the dispute or difference
of opinion, arbitration proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration
Article. In any event, the mediation shall conclude within sixty (60) days of its referral
to the mediator. Should the mediation not be resolved in sixty (60) days, then arbitration
proceedings may commence in accordance with the Arbitration Article.
	 
	G.	 	Each Party shall bear the expense of its own representatives and shall jointly and
equally bear with the other Party the expenses of the mediator and the place of mediation.

ARTICLE 30 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may
exercise, at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one,
any other) under this Contract.

	 	 	 	 	 

	Effective: January 1, 2010

	 	 	 	Reinsurance Addendum 3
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of whether
such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the
event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with
the provisions of the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 31 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2008.07.21-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations
under the Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported
and settled. Without first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing
Reinsurer will not, either directly or as the result of an action of a parent company
or an affiliated entity, invoke any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation, or
jurisprudence that purports to enable the Subscribing Reinsurer to require the Company
to settle their claims liabilities, including but not limited to any estimated or
undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an accelerated basis. If the
Subscribing Reinsurer has provided collateral relating to this Contract and the
Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to require the Company to settle their claims
liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall have the right to utilize or to
draw upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under the terms of this Contract, or
as otherwise agreed between the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company. This Article
does not prevent the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer from settling any claims
liabilities using a commutation process that is agreeable to both parties. This Article
shall in no way affect the rights and obligations of the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

ARTICLE 32 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or
subrogation in respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its
share of recovery expense. Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the
settlement of a disputed claim, or the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree to
the contrary, the Company shall enforce the right to salvage and/or subrogation
and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right. Should the Company
refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is hereby
empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the
Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any
salvage and/or subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing
Reinsurer to enforce such rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total
salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in addition to the limits
hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or subrogation
recovery, the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company
and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the
total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party,
subsequent to payments made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract,
shall be applied as if obtained prior to said payments and all necessary
adjustments shall be made between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer as
soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery is obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive
its right of subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 33 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2008.07.17-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized reinsurers and to reinsurers who are domiciled
outside the United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction
within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be
understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s right to
commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United States,
to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any
state in the United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court
is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and
accepted by the Subscribing Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or
otherwise, as provided for above, will comply with all requirements necessary to
give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against any of them upon
this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate
Court in the event of an appeal.
	 
	C.	 	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes & Mount, LLP, 750
Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019-6829.
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on
behalf of the Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any
statute of any state, territory, or district of the United States that makes
provision therefore, the Subscribing Reinsurer hereby designates the
Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or other officer
specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the
above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such
process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 34 — SEVERABILITY (LM-02000-2005.06.02-A)

If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the
laws, regulations, or public policy 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 35 — SPECIAL CONDITIONS (LM-02100-2008.11.18-A)

	A.	 	This Article applies only in the event that:

	 	1.	 	A State Insurance Department or other legal authority orders the Subscribing Reinsurer

	C.	 	Irrespective of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s failure to provide the
Company with timely written notice of the happening of a Trigger Event,
upon occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Company may terminate this Contract
at any time, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Subscribing
Reinsurer. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising its option

	D.	 	Termination under this Article can be made after the date of expiration of this
Contract.
	 
	E.	 	If this Contract is terminated under this Article, this Contract

Subscribing Reinsurer’s receipt of such statement, the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall fund all Obligations by securing clean, irrevocable,

	 	2.	 	Any Letters of Credit secured by the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and
shall be automatically extended for one year from their dates of
expiration or any future expiration dates, unless sixty (60) days

any Letter of Credit for any additional period.
	 
	 	3.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company agree that
the Letters of Credit provided by the Subscribing Reinsurer, pursuant
to the provisions of this Article, 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, without diminution because of the
insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more
of the following purposes:

	 	a.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	i.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of premiums
returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing
Reinsurer, to the owners of Policies reinsured under
this Contract due to cancellations of such Policies; and

	 	 	 	No. 0100200-SUM09

 

 

	 	ii.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or liabilities paid by the Company, but not
yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the
terms and provisions of the Policies reinsured under this
Contract; and
	 
	 	iii.	 	Any other amounts necessary to
secure the credit or reduction from liability for reinsurance
taken by the Company.

	 	4.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or
be reduced or replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and
where the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract remain
unliquidated and undischarged ten (10) days prior to the expiration of
the Letter of Credit, to withdraw amounts equal to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations, to the extent that the liabilities have not yet
been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the amount of any
reduced or replacement Letters of Credit.
	 
	 	5.	 	If the Company has concluded that the issuing bank’s
financial condition is such that the value of the security represented by
the Letter of Credit may be in jeopardy, the Company, may withdraw
amounts equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations.
	 
	 	6.	 	If the Company draws on the Letter of Credit to obtain a
cash advance, under paragraphs F.4 or F.5, the Company, will hold the
amount of the cash advance so obtained in trust in the name of the
Company in any qualified United States financial institution as defined
by the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state, solely to secure
the Obligations and for the use and purposes enumerated above. The
Company will return any balance to the Subscribing Reinsurer upon the
complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations to the Company under this Contract or in the
event the Subscribing Reinsurer provides alternative or replacement
security consistent with the terms hereof and acceptable to the Company.

	G.	 	If the Company elects to commute this Contract and the Subscribing
Reinsurer does not fund its Obligations under this Contract, then:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing
the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability for loss(es), whether reported or
unreported, comprising the sum total of the present value of the ceded:
(a) case reserves and allocated loss adjustment expense, (b) projected
ultimate losses, (c) any unearned premium reserve, and (d) undiscounted
outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the “Commutation Losses”), on
Policies covered by this Contract as of the effective date and time of
termination. If the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees with the statement of
valuation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested
within ten (10) days of receipt of the statement of valuation.
	 
	 	2.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer
cannot agree on the statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
liability under such Policies, either party may request in writing that
the differences be settled by a panel of three actuaries. Each party
shall appoint an actuary to assess such liability within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the written request for commutation. Upon such
appointment, the two actuaries shall appoint a third actuary. If the two
actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty (30) days of
their appointment, each of them shall nominate three individuals, of whom
the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be made by
drawing lots.
	 
	 	3.	 	The actuaries shall then investigate and Capitalize such
Commutation Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein,
“Capitalize” shall mean to determine the present value of Commutation
Losses, without regard to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such
losses. The panel shall meet in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Company
and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.

	 	a.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the commutation and
shall
be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial
Society.

	 	 	 	Except as stated below, the expense of the actuaries and of the
commutation shall be equally divided between the parties of the
commutation.
	 
	 	b.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when
filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding, except that
if the Company does not agree with the Capitalized value of the
Commutation Loss(es), the Company shall have no obligation to commute.
In the event the Company does not agree with the Capitalized value of
the Commutation Loss(es) and does not move forward with commutation, the
Company will pay the expense of the actuaries, including reasonable
expense of the actuary appointed by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	 	c.	 	If the Contract is commuted, payment by the
Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually
agreed upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall
constitute a complete and final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in
respect to its liability under this Contract.

	 	4.	 	The commutation process described in this Article shall not be subject to any
other
dispute resolution process, including but not limited to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 36 — THIRD PARTIES (LM-02700-2005.09.27-A)

This Contract shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any third party whatsoever
unless said right or remedy is specifically granted to such third party by the terms of
this Contract.

ARTICLE 37 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2008.09.24-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any
time thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this
Contract, the Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory
authority or set up on its books reserves for unearned premium and 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 unearned premium, 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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by the
Company (hereinafter referred to as “ Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by Letters
of Credit, unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or
the method of funding is determined by applicable law, statute, or regulation.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply
for and secure timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional
Letters of Credit issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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. At the Company’s request, the Subscribing
Reinsurer will agree to provide separate Letters of Credit for any Affiliates covered
under this Contract. Such Letters of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less
than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from the date of
expiration or any future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration date,
the issuing bank shall notify the

	 	 	Company by certified mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the
following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	a.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of
premiums returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract on account of
cancellations of such Policies; and
	 
	 	b.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company, but not yet recovered
from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of the
Policies reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	c.	 	Any other amounts necessary to secure the credit or
reduction from liability for reinsurance taken by the Company.

	 	2.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and
undischarged 10 days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the liabilities
have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the amount of any
reduced or replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in a separate
account in the name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial institution, apart
from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes specified in above as
may remain after withdrawal and for any period after the termination date.

	D.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall
prepare a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letters 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 Letters 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
Letters of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such
excess credit.

	E.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party”,
individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or concerning this
Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator Program. Unless the
Parties otherwise agree, the ARIAS Newer Arbitrator Program expedited proceeding with a
single Newer Arbitrator shall be used to resolve any such disputes.

	 	(iii)	 	Any facility where Nuclear Material is stored, other than storage
incidental to the carriage of such material.

“Nuclear Reactor” means any structure containing nuclear fuel in such an arrangement that a
self-sustaining chain process of nuclear fission can occur therein without an additional source of
neutrons.

“Production, use or Storage of Nuclear Material” means the production, manufacture, enrichment,
conditioning, processing, reprocessing, use, storage, handling and disposal of Nuclear Material.

“Property” shall mean all land, buildings, structures, plant, equipment, vehicles, contents
(including but not limited to liquids and gases) and all materials of whatever description whether
fixed or not.

“High Radioactivity Zone or Area” means:

	 	(i)	 	For nuclear power stations and Nuclear Reactors, the vessel or structure which
immediately contains the core (including its supports and shrouding) and all the

ARTICLE 13 — COMMUTATION (LM-02601-2007.10.29-W)

	A.	 	Eighty-four (84) months after the expiry of this Contract, the Company shall advise the
Subscribing
Reinsurer of any Loss Occurrence which may not have been finally settled and which may cause
a claim under this Contract. Upon review, if either the Company or any Subscribing Reinsurer
requests commutation, such commutation shall proceed for all Subscribing Reinsurers, as
follows:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall prepare a final claim against the Subscribing Reinsurer in
respect of such Loss Occurrence.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall review the final claim and shall
attempt to reach settlement by mutual agreement.
	 
	 	3.	 	The final claim shall be calculated in accordance with the following criteria:

	 	a.	 	Mortality assumptions shall be calculated from the latest available
United States Census Table as follows:

	 	•	 	Survivor Benefits  	 	- Total Female or Male, whichever applies
	 
	 	•	 	Disability Benefits  	 	- Total Population

	 	 	 	The mortality assumptions should reflect: (a) the mortality improvement since
the publication of the most recent U.S. Census Table, and (b) the life
impairment of the injured worker.
	 
	 	b.	 	Remarriage expectations shall be in accordance with the assumptions
used by the National Council on Compensation Insurance in its statistical tables,
adjusted for the gender of the survivor.
	 
	 	c.	 	For all future medical costs, projected cash payments shall be based
upon projected long-term medical care and rehabilitation requirements, using the
average annual Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation rate of the past
twenty (20) years using the most recent published tables, going back twenty (20)
years.
	 
	 	d.	 	For all future indemnity costs, projected cash payments shall be
calculated based upon the average historical actual Cost-Of-Living Adjustment
(COLA) over however many years of information are available, but no more than
twenty (20) years; up

	 	 	 	through the most recent published data that is available from the State or
Federal governing body over Workers Compensation, whichever may apply.
	 
	 	e.	 	The annual interest discount percentage shall be calculated as the
average yield to maturity of all United States Treasury Bonds maturing during the
calendar quarter that is fifteen (15) years after the calendar quarter in which
the commutation date falls.
	 
	 	f.	 	The final claim shall be the amount of cash payments made, plus the
discounted present value of the future payments as determined by the above
calculations. The final claim with respect to each injured worker or fatality
shall then be capped at $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 as respects the coverage provided
in Exhibit A). The resulting individual values shall then be summed together. The
Company’s retention shall then be subtracted from this amount and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall pay up to the per occurrence limit afforded under this Contract.

	B.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer are unable to reach a settlement
following the criteria laid out in steps A.1.a-f above, then the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall, within four (4) weeks from the written request of one of the parties,
mutually appoint an independent actuarial consulting firm or, in the event that they fail to
agree on the selection of an independent actuarial consulting firm within four (4) weeks,
each party shall name three (3) independent actuarial consulting firms of which the other
party shall decline two (2), and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. The appointed
independent actuarial consulting firm shall investigate, determine, and value the Loss
Occurrence. The valuation of such Loss Occurrence shall use the assumptions and methodologies
as stated above. The independent actuarial consulting firm’s decisions to the valuation of
such final claim shall be final and binding. The commutation process described in this
Article shall not be subject to any other dispute resolution process, including but not
limited to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed
upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company of the final claim as determined by the
procedures described above, in respect of each such Loss Occurrence shall constitute complete
release of the Subscribing Reinsurer from liability for each such Loss Occurrence.
	 
	D.	 	This Article does not preclude termination or commutation of this Contract as provided in the
Special Conditions Article.

ARTICLE 14 — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION (LM-01800-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer shall be credited with its share of salvage and/or subrogation in
respect of claims and settlements under this Contract, less its share of recovery expense.
Unless the Company agrees to waive such rights in the settlement of a disputed claim, or the
Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree to the contrary, the Company shall enforce the right
to salvage and/or subrogation and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such right.
Should the Company refuse or neglect to enforce this right, the Subscribing Reinsurer is
hereby empowered and authorized to institute appropriate action in the name of the Company.
	 
	B.	 	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation and the expense of any salvage and/or
subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer in the ratio of
their respective interests in the total salvage and/or subrogation recovery, and shall be in
addition to the limits hereon. In the event there is a failure to obtain a salvage and/or
subrogation recovery, the

	 	 	expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and the Subscribing
Reinsurer in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.
	 
	C.	 	All salvage and/or subrogation recoveries obtained by either party, subsequent to payments
made by the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract, shall be applied as if obtained prior
to said payments and all necessary adjustments shall be made between the Company and the
Subscribing Reinsurer as soon as practicable after said salvage and/or subrogation recovery is
obtained.
	 
	D.	 	The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the loss, to waive its right of
subrogation as to that loss.

ARTICLE 15 — CURRENCY (LM-00500-2005.08.09)

mean United States Dollars ($). All payments made by either party shall be made in United States
Dollars. All amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted into
United States Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date at which it is entered on the books of
the Company.

authorized representative, may upon reasonable prior written notice to the Company, at the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s own expense, examine at the offices of the Company or its affiliates,
during normal office hours, the Company’s Policy, accounting, underwriting, or claim records
and files, or any such additional relevant records and files, as they exist in the Company’s
or its affiliates’ possession or reasonable control, relating to business ceded under this
Contract. The Subscribing Reinsurer’s notice shall reasonably describe the nature of the
inspection that it wishes to conduct, the persons conducting the inspection and upon notice
of available files from the Company, the files that it wishes to review. Subject to the
limitations expressed in this Article, this right of inspection shall survive termination or
expiration of this Contract and shall continue as long as either Party has any rights or
obligations under this Contract.
	 
	B.	 	The Company reserves the right to deny the Subscribing Reinsurer access to records or files
concerning any particular claim(s) if the Subscribing Reinsurer has not disputed liability
for payment of such claim(s), and payment of such claim(s) is (are) more than ninety (90)
days overdue according to the Company’s records. The Company shall, however, prior to an
arbitration demand that may be instituted by either party, continue to respond to reasonable
specific requests for information and questions raised by the Subscribing Reinsurer
concerning such claims; and nothing in this Article shall restrict the right or ability of
the Subscribing Reinsurer to seek discovery of relevant information in a proceeding pursuant
to the Arbitration Article of this Contract.
	 
	C.	 	As a condition precedent to access to records under this Article, the Subscribing Reinsurer,
its personnel and any authorized third party representative of the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall agree to the provisions of the Confidentiality Article of this Contract.
	 
	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to withhold any documents from the Subscribing Reinsurer (1)
concerning Trade Secrets of the Company or its affiliates, (2) subject to the terms of a
third party non-disclosure agreement with the Company or its affiliates requiring third party
consent to disclosure, (3) subject to the Work Product Privilege or Attorney-Client Privilege

Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents falling within (3) above, in connection with the
underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of the
case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against ail claimants, and all parties to
such adjudications; provided that the Company, may defer release of such Privileged Documents
if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that
claim or case, which may jeopardize the Company’s or its affiliates’ defense by release of
such Privileged Documents. In the event that the Company shall seek to defer release of such
Privileged Documents or to withhold documents concerning Trade Secrets, it will in
consultation with the Subscribing Reinsurer take other steps as reasonably necessary to
provide the Subscribing Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify
the Company without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The Subscribing
Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to any dispute
between the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	F.	 	For purposes of this Article, “Trade Secrets” shall have the meaning provided in Section
1839 of the United States Economic Espionage Act of 1996. “Attorney—Client Privilege” shall
mean communications of a confidential nature between 1) the Company or its affiliates, or
anyone retained by or in the control of the Company or its affiliates, or their in-house or
outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel, and 2) any in-house or
outside legal counsel which relate to legal advice being sought by the Company or its
affiliates and/or which contains legal advice being provided to the Company or its
affiliates. “Work Product Privilege” shall mean communications, written materials and
tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared by or for the
Company or its affiliates, in anticipation of or in connection with litigation, arbitration,
or other dispute resolution proceedings.

ARTICLE 17 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (LM-00800-2005.06.02-A)

	A.	 	Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with the terms and conditions of this
Contract 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
delay, omission, or error is rectified upon discovery.
	 
	B.	 	However, this Article shall not override the application of the commutation of losses as set
forth in the Commutation Article or the Special Conditions Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 18 — INSOLVENCY (LM-01300-2008.07.25-A)

If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the
Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any
company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company intended to be covered hereunder,
that domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable
with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against the
insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims,
without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. Such
payments by the Subscribing

	 	 	Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or
statutory successor, except to the extent Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law
applies, or except (1) where the Contract specifically provides another payee of such
reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Subscribing
Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy
obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Subscribing Reinsurer to the payees
under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.
	 
	B.	 	It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor of
the insolvent Company shall give written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the pendency
of a claim against the insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the
pendency of such claim the Subscribing 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator,
or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit, which may accrue to the
Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest
elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance
with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent
Company.
	 
	D.	 	Applicable to a Subscribing Reinsurer licensed to write Workers’ Compensation business
in California. With respect to California Workers Compensation loss(es), it is agreed
that in the event of any delinquency proceeding, receivership, or insolvency of the Company
and/or the failure of the Subscribing Reinsurer, for any reason, to make payments under this
Contract, the Insurance Commissioner of California may, upon 30-days notice, draw upon any
sums from the deposit made by the Subscribing Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of
sections 11691 – 11703 of the California Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 19 — ARBITRATION (LM-00200-2008.06.27-A)

	A.	 	Disputes to be Arbitrated. With the exception of any dispute resolution procedures
that are otherwise contained in this Contract, any and all disputes between the Company and
any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers (“Party” individually or “Parties” collectively)
arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract, whether sounding in contract or
tort and whether arising during or after this Contract’s formation, or after its termination,
including disputes as to whether the Contract was validly formed or is voidable, shall be
submitted to the decision of an arbitration panel (“Panel”). The Panel shall consist of an
umpire and two party-appointed arbitrators unless a Party meets the requirements of Paragraph
C of this Article and demands arbitration pursuant thereto, in which case the Panel would
consist of an umpire only.
	 
	B.	 	Procedures. Except as provided herein, any arbitration shall be based upon the
Procedures for the Resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes, Regular Panel
Version, dated April 2004 (the “Procedures”), developed by the Insurance and Reinsurance
Dispute Resolution Task Force, subject to the following modifications:

	 	1.	 	Qualifications of the arbitrators and umpires shall be in accordance with section 6.2 of
the
Procedures, except that other professionals who have worked for at least 10 years for
an insurer or reinsurer shall also be qualified to serve as an arbitrator or umpire.

	 	 	 	 	 

	Effective: January 1, 2010

	 	 	 	Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
	 

	 	 	 	Addendum 4
	 

	 	 	 	No. 0100300-SUM09

 

 

	 	2.	 	The Parties hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list
to be used in the event that section 6.7(a) of the Procedures is invoked.
	 
	 	3.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Panel shall be impartial and
disinterested. The members of the Panel may not be: (1) in the control of any Party or
its parent, affiliate, or agent, (2) a former director or officer of any Party or its
parent, affiliate, or agent, or (3) a likely witness in the arbitration. The requirement
of impartiality means that all members of the Panel shall have the same obligation to
approach the Panel’s duties and decisions with fairness and without consideration for
the fact that Panel members may have been appointed by one of the Parties. The
requirement of impartiality does not mean that any arbitrator can have no previous
knowledge of or experience with respect to issues involved in the dispute or disputes.
	 
	 	4.	 	The first sentence of Section 10.4 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the
following sentence: “The Panel shall require that each Party submit concise written
statements of position, including summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends to
present, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for the requested Award or
denial of relief sought.”
	 
	 	5.	 	Once the Panel has been constituted, no Party (or anyone acting for a Party)
shall have any communications concerning the arbitration or any of the issues before
the Panel with any member of the Panel that is not also disclosed to all other Parties
and all members of the Panel. Each Panel member shall have a continuing duty to
disclose promptly to all Parties and all Panel members any violation of this
prohibition and the specifics of any improper communications that occurred. This
prohibition shall remain in place until all challenges to any arbitration awards and
decisions have been either waived or finally concluded.
	 
	 	6.	 	Section 11.1 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Parties may propound discovery seeking disclosure of such information and/or
documents relevant to the dispute or necessary for the proper resolution of the
dispute.”
	 
	 	7.	 	Position statements may be amended at any reasonable time, but not later than
the close of discovery without a showing to the Panel that the amending Party could not
reasonably have raised the new claim or issue at an earlier time.
	 
	 	8.	 	The Panel shall hold an evidentiary hearing, if one is necessary, within one
year of the arbitration demand, unless the Parties otherwise agree. Should a Party seek
a reasonable extension to this time frame for good cause shown, the other Party’s
agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
	 
	 	9.	 	To the extent permitted by the law, the Panel shall have the authority to issue
subpoenas and other orders to enforce its decisions.
	 
	 	10.	 	The Panel may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs to the
prevailing Party, as determined by the Panel.
	 
	 	11.	 	Section 14.3 of the Procedures shall be replaced by the following provision:
“The Panel shall make a decision and issue an award with regard to the terms expressed
in this Contract, and the custom and practice of the property and casualty insurance
and reinsurance business. The Panel shall not be obligated to follow the strict rules
of law and evidence.”

	C.	 	Alternative Streamlined Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article, the Alternative Streamlined Procedures set forth in section 16 of the Procedures, as
modified by sections B3, B4, and B9 through B11 of this Article, shall apply in the event
that, in a consolidated proceeding or otherwise, the Party initiating arbitration is seeking
payment of a total amount that is no greater than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or the
currency equivalent thereof. Sections 16.1, 16.2,16.3 and the second sentence of section 16.4
of the Alternative Streamlined Procedures shall

	 	 	not apply. The Parties agree to comply with section 6.7 of the Procedures to appoint a
single umpire, and hereby designate the umpire list maintained by ARIAS (U.S.) as the list
to be used in section 6.7(a).
	 
	D.	 	Hearing Location. The hearing shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the
Parties mutually agree to a different location.
	 
	E.	 	Confirmation. Either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an
order confirming any award of the Panel; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered
on any award. If the application for confirmation is contested and a judgment is issued
confirming the award, then the Party against whom confirmation is sought shall pay the
attorneys’ fees incurred by the Party who applied for the confirmation and all court costs of
any such proceeding.
	 
	F.	 	Equitable Relief from a Court of Law. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
any participating Party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to issue a
restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties
participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Panel.
	 
	G.	 	Consolidated Proceedings.

	 	1.	 	Same contract, single Subscribing Reinsurer. Both the Company and any single Subscribing
Reinsurer on this Contract have the right to combine any and all disputes between them
that concern this Contract (including any renewal of this Contract or any contract for
which this Contract is a renewal) into a single arbitration proceeding before a single
Panel, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new issue,
claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for amending a
Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	2.	 	Multiple contracts, single Subscribing Reinsurer.

	 	a.	 	Either the Company or any single Subscribing Reinsurer has the right
to combine any and all disputes between the Company and such single Subscribing
Reinsurer into one arbitration proceeding before a single Panel where such
disputes involve this Contract and any additional contracts between the two
Parties, except that the standard for determining whether a Party may add a new
issue, claim, or dispute to an arbitration proceeding shall be the standard for
amending a Position statement, as set forth in Paragraph B7 of this Article.
	 
	 	b.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject in each instance to the
mutual agreement of the Parties, new issues, claims, or disputes may be added to
such existing arbitration proceeding.

	 	3.	 	Same contract, multiple Reinsurers. At the Company’s option, if more than one
Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in arbitration relating to this Contract, where there
are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or
inconsistent results, all such 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
Reinsurers constituting the one Party; provided, however, that the Reinsurers shall
have the right to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, and to be
represented by separate counsel. This provision shall not change the liability of each
of the Reinsurers under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	H.	 	Choice of Law. The law set forth in the Governing Law Article shall apply to this
Arbitration Article. In addition, to the extent the Panel (or the umpire in an Alternative
Streamlined Procedure) looks to applicable law, such Panel or umpire shall apply the law as
set forth in the Governing Law Article of this Contract.

Contract.

ARTICLE 20 — INTEREST PENALTY (LM-01400-2005.08.24-A)

	A.	 	The interest amounts provided for in this Article shall apply to the Subscribing Reinsurer or
to the Company in the following circumstances:

	 	1.	 	If a loss payment owed by the Subscribing Reinsurer to the Company is not
received within 45 calendar days following the date of presentation to the Subscribing
Reinsurer of information necessary to approve payment of the claim, and/or
	 
	 	2.	 	If any premium payment owed by the Company to the Subscribing Reinsurer is not
received within 45 calendar days following the
date on which payment is due, and/or
	 
	 	3.	 	If any premium adjustment, agreed by either party to the other, is not received
within 150 calendar days following the expiry or anniversary of this Contract, and/or
	 
	 	4.	 	If any return of premiums, commissions, profit sharing, or any amounts not
provided in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, are not received in accordance with the
date specified in this Contract or if no date is specified, within 90 calendar days
following the date the debtor party received the billing.

	B.	 	Failure by the Subscribing Reinsurer or Company to comply with their respective payment
obligations within the time periods as herein provided shall, as of that date, be subject to
an interest payment computed by multiplying the amount due by a variable rate consisting of
the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on
the first day of the calendar month in which the amount became past due, plus 2%. The
variable rate shall be adjusted monthly thereafter to equal the U.S. Prime Rate as published
in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of each successive
month during which the amount due remains unpaid, plus 2%. The product shall then be
multiplied by 1/365 for each day after the due date that the amount due and the interest
amount remain unpaid. Any interest that occurs pursuant to this Article shall be calculated
by the party to which it is owed.
	 
	C.	 	The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract.
If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or any other proceeding with respect to the
amounts in dispute, there shall be no interest penalty due. If the creditor party wholly or
partially prevails on any of the amounts in dispute, the interest penalty shall be awarded as
outlined above. Such interest penalty shall be calculated from the date the monies were due
and owing to the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding, and shall be payable as
of the date of resolution of the arbitration or proceeding.
	 
	D.	 	If a Subscribing Reinsurer advances the entire or partial payment of any claim it is
contesting, and wholly or partially prevails in the contest, the Company shall promptly
return the applicable amount of such payment. The arbitrator(s) hearing such dispute shall
determine if interest shall be added to the amount returned by the Company.
	 
	E.	 	Any interest owing pursuant to this Article may be waived by the party to which it is owed.
Further, any interest calculated pursuant to this Article that is $100 or less shall be
waived. Any waiver of any interest pursuant to this paragraph, however, shall not affect the
waiving party’s right to claim and/or pursue interest for any other failure by the other
party to make payment when due under this Article.

ARTICLE 21 — DIVIDENDS AND TAXES (LM-00600-2008.10.10-A)

In consideration of the terms of this Contract, the Company shall not claim any deduction in
respect of any amount paid as dividends or as reinsurance premium when making tax returns, other
than income or profits tax returns to any State or to the District of Columbia.

ARTICLE 22 — FEDERAL EXCISE TAX (LM-01000-2008.08.15-A)

	A.	 	This Article is applicable to any Subscribing Reinsurer who is domiciled outside of the
United States of America, except for any Subscribing Reinsurer exempt from Federal Excise
Tax. A Subscribing Reinsurer that claims exempt status from Federal Excise Tax shall provide
to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the
demands of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, or its successor
and/or other applicable U.S. government authority.
	 
	B.	 	Each Subscribing Reinsurer shall allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable
hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of paying
Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax.
	 
	C.	 	In the event of any return of premium, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct the aforesaid
percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover
such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE 23 — OFFSET (LM-01701-2005.06.02-A)

Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance(s) due the other (or, if more than one, any other)
under this Contract. Such offset may include balances due under this Contract regardless of
whether such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, provided however, that in the
event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable law, statute, or regulation governing such offset.

ARTICLE 24 — SERVICE OF SUIT (LM-01900-2008.07.17-A)

(This article applies to unauthorized reinsurers and to reinsurers who are domiciled outside the
United States of America.)

	A.	 	This Service of Suit Article will 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.
	 
	B.	 	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, will submit to the
jurisdiction of a Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this
Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a
case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the
United States. The Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is selected, whether
such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Subscribing
Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will
comply with all requirements necessary to give said Court jurisdiction and, in any suit

New York, NY 10019-6829.
	 
	D.	 	The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Subscribing Reinsurer in any such suit. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state,
territory, or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Subscribing
Reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or
other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or their successor(s) in office, as
their 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 designate the above-named as the person to whom the
said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

ARTICLE 25 — UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (LM-02500-2008.09.24-A)

(Applies only to a Subscribing Reinsurer who at the inception of the Contract or at any time
thereafter does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

	A.	 	As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the
Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on
its books reserves for unearned premium and 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 unearned premium,
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 determined by the Company, as shown in the statement prepared by
the Company (hereinafter referred to as “ Subscribing Reinsurer Obligations”) by Letters of
Credit, unless the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer otherwise agree, and/or the method
of funding is determined by applicable law, statute, or regulation.
	 
	B.	 	When funding by Letters of Credit, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure
timely delivery to the Company of clean, irrevocable, and unconditional Letters of Credit
issued by a bank that is a qualified U.S. financial institution 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. At
the Company’s request, the Subscribing Reinsurer will agree to provide separate Letters of
Credit for any Affiliates covered under this Contract. Such Letters of Credit shall be issued
for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from
the date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 60 days prior to any expiration
date, the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified mail that the issuing bank
elects not to consider the Letters 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, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the
following purposes:

	 	1.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	a.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of premiums
returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to the owners of
Policies reinsured under this Contract on account of cancellations of such
Policies; and
	 
	 	b.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of
surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company, but not yet recovered from
the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of the Policies
reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	c.	 	Any other amounts necessary to secure the credit or reduction from
liability for reinsurance taken by the Company.

	 	2.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and undischarged
10 days prior to the termination date, to withdraw amounts equal to the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s share of the liabilities, to the extent that the liabilities have not yet
been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the amount of any reduced or
replacement Letters of Credit, and deposit those amounts in a separate account in the
name of the Company in a qualified U.S. financial institution, apart from its general
assets, in trust for such uses and purposes specified in above as may remain after
withdrawal and for any period after the termination date.

	D.	 	At annual intervals, or at the Company’s option, on a quarterly basis, the Company shall prepare
a specific statement of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose of
amending the Letters 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 Letters 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 Letters of Credit reducing the
amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.

	E.	 	Any and all disputes between the Company and any Subscribing Reinsurer or Reinsurers
(“Party”, individually, or “Parties”, collectively) arising out of, relating to, or
concerning this Article shall be resolved pursuant to the ARIAS-U.S. Newer Arbitrator

by the Company or its affiliates, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to

Information, the Subscribing Reinsurer will comply with the reasonable requests of the
Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to resist release of the Confidential
Information. The Company shall bear the cost of resisting the release of the Confidential
Information.

	 	13.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer, directly or through the actions of a parent

any estimated or undetermined claims liabilities under this Contract, on an
accelerated basis. This does not include any attempt to enforce a settlement of
claims liabilities under a commutation process to which the parties have agreed.

Event”), the Subscribing Reinsurer shall provide the Company with written notice within five

Trigger Event from the Subscribing Reinsurer, the Company may terminate this Contract, upon
thirty (30) days written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	C.	 	Irrespective of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s failure to provide the Company with timely

Reinsurer shall return the unearned premium, if any, within fifteen (15) days of the
termination date. If coverage hereunder terminates while a claim covered by this Contract is
in progress, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable, subject to all conditions hereof, for
its proportion of the entire claim, provided the event giving rise to the claim started

	F.	1.	 	If the Company elects to terminate this Contract under this Article, the Company may also
elect to commute this Contract. Such election to commute shall be made either
within the written thirty (30) day notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer of the
Company’s intention to terminate this Contract, or by written notice thereafter.
If the Company elects to commute, the Subscribing Reinsurer has the option to
provide security for its Obligations (as defined herein), as an alternative to
commutation. The Subscribing Reinsurer shall notify the Company of its decision to
provide security for its Obligations within fifteen (15) business days of the

Subscribing Reinsurer’s share of all paid recoverables, case reserves, loss
adjustment expenses, incurred but not reported losses, reserves for unearned
premium, and ceding commissions due under this Contract prior to the effective
date and time of termination (collectively “Obligations”). Within fifteen (15)
days of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s receipt of such statement, the Subscribing
Reinsurer shall fund all Obligations by securing clean, irrevocable, and
unconditional Letters of Credit, payable exclusively to the Company and issued by

	 	2.	 	Any Letters of Credit secured by the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be issued for a period
of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from
their dates of expiration or any future expiration dates, unless sixty (60) days

	 	 	 	the issuing bank shall notify the Company, by certified mail that the
issuing bank elects not to extend any Letter of Credit for any additional period.

	 	3.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company agree that the Letters of Credit
provided by the Subscribing Reinsurer, pursuant to the provisions of this Article,
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, without diminution because of the insolvency of the
Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer for one or more of the following purposes:

	 	a.	 	To pay or reimburse the Company for:

	 	i.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share under this Contract of premiums
returned, but not yet recovered from the Subscribing Reinsurer, to
the owners of Policies reinsured under this Contract due to
cancellations of such Policies; and
	 
	 	ii.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s share, under this Contract, of surrenders
and benefits or liabilities paid by the Company, but not yet recovered
from the Subscribing Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of
the Policies reinsured under this Contract; and
	 
	 	iii.	 	Any other amounts necessary to secure the credit or reduction from
liability for reinsurance taken by the Company.

	 	4.	 	Where the Letters of Credit will expire without renewal or be reduced or
replaced by Letters of Credit for a reduced amount and where the Subscribing
Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract remain unliquidated and undischarged
ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, to withdraw amounts
equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Obligations, to the extent that the
liabilities have not yet been funded by the Subscribing Reinsurer and exceed the
amount of any reduced or replacement Letters of Credit.
	 
	 	5.	 	If the Company has concluded that the issuing bank’s financial condition
is such that the value of the security represented by the Letter of Credit may be
in jeopardy, the Company, may withdraw amounts equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
Obligations.
	 
	 	6.	 	If the Company draws on the Letter of Credit to obtain a cash advance,
under paragraphs F.4 or F.5, the Company, will hold the amount of the cash advance
so obtained in trust in the name of the Company in any qualified United States
financial institution as defined by the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary
state, solely to secure the Obligations and for the use and purposes enumerated
above. The Company will return any balance to the Subscribing Reinsurer upon the
complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
Obligations to the Company under this Contract or in the event the Subscribing
Reinsurer provides alternative or replacement security consistent with the terms
hereof and acceptable to the Company.

	G.	 	If the Company elects to commute this Contract and the Subscribing Reinsurer does not fund its
Obligations under this Contract, then:

	 	1.	 	The Company shall submit a statement of valuation showing the Subscribing Reinsurer’s
liability for loss(es), whether reported or unreported, comprising the sum total
of the present value of the ceded: (a) case reserves and allocated loss
adjustment expense, (b) projected ultimate losses, (c) any unearned premium
reserve, and (d) undiscounted outstanding paid claims (hereinafter the
“Commutation Losses”), on Policies covered by this Contract as of the effective
date and time of termination. If the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees with the

	 	 	 	statement of valuation, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall pay the amount
requested within ten (10) days of receipt of the statement of valuation.

	 	2.	 	In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on
the statement of valuation of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability under such
Policies, either party may request in writing that the differences be settled by a
panel of three actuaries. Each party shall appoint an actuary to assess such
liability within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written request for
commutation. Upon such appointment, the two actuaries shall appoint a third
actuary. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the third actuary within thirty (30)
days of their appointment, each of them shall nominate three individuals, of whom
the other shall decline two, and the final decision shall be made by drawing lots.
	 
	 	3.	 	The actuaries shall then investigate and Capitalize such Commutation
Loss(es) within thirty (30) days. As used herein, “Capitalize” shall mean to
determine the present value of Commutation Losses, without regard to the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s ability to pay such losses. The panel shall meet in Boston,
Massachusetts, unless the Company and Subscribing Reinsurer agree otherwise.

	 	a.	 	All actuaries shall be disinterested in the outcome of the
commutation and shall be Fellows of the Society of Actuaries/Fellows of the
Casualty Actuarial Society. Except as stated below, the expense of the
actuaries and of the commutation shall be equally divided between the
parties of the commutation.
	 
	 	b.	 	The decision in writing of the actuaries, when filed with
the parties hereto, shall be final and binding, except that if the Company
does not agree with the Capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es), the
Company shall have no obligation to commute. In the event the Company does
not agree with the Capitalized value of the Commutation Loss(es) and does
not move forward with commutation, the Company will pay the expense of the
actuaries, including reasonable expense of the actuary appointed by the
Subscribing Reinsurer.
	 
	 	c.	 	If the Contract is commuted, payment by the Subscribing
Reinsurer to the Company or any other third party mutually agreed upon by
the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company shall constitute a complete and
final release of the Subscribing Reinsurer in respect to its liability under
this Contract.

	 	4.	 	The commutation process described in this Article shall not be subject to
any other dispute resolution process, including but not limited to the Arbitration
Article of this Contract.

ARTICLE 32 — REINSURER CLAIMS OBLIGATIONS (LM-03100-2008.07.21-A)

It is understood and agreed that the Subscribing Reinsurer will fulfill its obligations under
the Loss Adjustment and Settlement Article, until all claims have been reported and settled.
Without first obtaining the Company’s written consent, the Subscribing Reinsurer will not,
either directly or as the result of an action of a parent company or an affiliated entity,
invoke any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the
Subscribing Reinsurer to require the Company to settle their claims liabilities, including but
not limited to any estimated or undetermined claims liabilities, under this Contract on an
accelerated basis. If the Subscribing Reinsurer has provided collateral relating to this
Contract and the Subscribing Reinsurer attempts to require the Company to settle their claims
liabilities on an accelerated basis, the Company shall have the right to utilize or to draw
upon Letters of Credit or other collateral, under the terms of this Contract, or as otherwise
agreed between the Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company. This Article does not prevent the
Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer from settling any claims liabilities using a commutation
process that is agreeable to both parties. This Article shall in no way affect the rights and
obligations of the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer under the Insolvency Article.

SECTION 1 — LIMIT AND RETENTION

	A.	 	Under this Exhibit the Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for the Ultimate Net

insured) subject to a limit of $75,000,000 each Loss Occurrence. The maximum
contribution to the Ultimate Net Loss shall be limited to a maximum per life recovery
of $5,000,000 (discounted to net present value in accordance with the provisions of
the Commutation Article).
	 
	B.	 	Notwithstanding the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability on each Loss Occurrence, the
Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability shall further be limited to $150,000,000 for all
