SIXTH EXCESS OF LOSS REINSURANCE CONTRACT

PREAMBLE

The Reinsurers hereby reinsure the Company to the extent and on the terms and conditions and
subject to the exceptions, exclusions and limitations hereinafter set forth.

ARTICLE 1 — EXHIBITS COVERED

The Company shall reinsure with the Reinsurers and the Reinsurers shall accept reinsurance from the
Company as set forth in Exhibits “A” and “B”, which are attached hereto and made part of this
Contract, such Exhibits being entitled for purposes of identification as follows:

          Exhibit “A” Excess of Loss Reinsurance of General Liability

          Exhibit “B” Excess of Loss Reinsurance of Workers’ Compensation.

ARTICLE 2 — RETENTION BY COMPANY

This Contract applies only to such portion of any obligation of the Company as the Company retains
net for its own account, and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and in computing the
amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches only loss or losses in respect to that
portion of any obligation which the Company retains net for its own account shall be included.

It is agreed that the amount or amounts of the Reinsurers’ liability hereunder in respect of any
losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other
Reinsurers whether specific or general, any amount or amounts which may have become due from them
whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurers or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3 — REINSURANCE PREMIUM

	(a)	 	The Reinsurers’ premium for the reinsurance provided under this Contract shall be computed by
the application of a rate of .003% to the Company’s net premium written on the business
covered under Exhibits “A” and “B” subject to an annual minimum premium of $60,000 and an
annual deposit premium of $67,500 for the combined Sixth Excess of Loss layer provided under
Exhibits “A” and “B”.
	 
	(b)	 	The deposit premium as provided for in (a) above shall be payable to Reinsurers in
four equal quarterly installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The
Company shall undertake to furnish Reinsurers at the conclusion of each year a report
of the net premiums written during such year. The difference between the

 

-2-

	 	 	annual deposit premium paid and the annual developed reinsurance premium for
the Sixth Excess of Loss Reinsurance under Exhibits “A” and “B” computed in accordance with
the provisions of (a) above shall be promptly paid by the debtor party.
	 
	(c)	 	The term “net premium written” shall mean gross premiums written by the Company on the
business covered hereunder less return premiums for cancellations and reductions and less
premiums on reinsurance which inures to the benefit of the Reinsurers. No deduction shall
be made for dividends declared, paid or credited to policyholders of the Company.

ARTICLE 4 — SUBROGATION

The Company hereby agrees to enforce such subrogation rights as it may obtain by virtue of payments
made under its policies, but in case the Company shall refuse or neglect to do so, the Reinsurers
are hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or
its policyholders or otherwise to enforce such rights.

The expense of any subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Reinsurers to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Reinsurers in the ratio of their respective
interests in the total subrogation recovery but in the event there is a failure to make a
subrogation recovery the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and
the Reinsurers in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.

All subrogation recoveries made by either party subsequent to payments made by the Reinsurers under
this Contract shall be applied as if made prior to said payments and all necessary adjustments
shall be made between the Company and the Reinsurers as soon as practicable after said subrogation
recovery is made.

The Company shall have the right, before the happening of the accident or occurrence to
waive its right of subrogation.

ARTICLE 5 —TAX CLAUSE

In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company undertakes not to
claim any deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than Income or
Profits tax returns to any State or to the District of Columbia.

ARTICLE 6 — PAYMENTS UNDER THIS CONTRACT

All amounts due to either party hereunder shall be payable in United States currency.

ARTICLE 7 — ACCESS TO RECORDS

of obtaining any further information concerning this reinsurance or the subject matter hereof.

 

-3-

ARTICLE 8 — INSOLVENCY CLAUSE

The reinsurance provided by this Contract shall be payable by the Reinsurers directly to the
Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the
Company under the contracts reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company.
In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor
of the Company shall give written notice of the pendency of each claim against the Company on a
policy or bond reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency
proceeding; and during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurers may investigate such claim and
interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any
defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Company, its liquidator or receiver or
statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurers shall be chargeable, subject to
court approval, against the Company as a part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of such
proportionate share of the benefit as shall accrue to the Company solely as a result of the
defense undertaken by the Reinsurers.

This reinsurance shall be payable as hereinbefore in the above paragraph provided except as
otherwise provided by Section 315 (relating to Fidelity and Surety Risks) of the Insurance Law of
New York or except (a) where the Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance
in the event of the insolvency of the Company and (b) where the Reinsurers with the consent of the
direct insured or insureds have assumed such policy obligations of the Reinsurers to the payees
under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.

ARTICLE 9 — ARBITRATION

As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute arising out of this
Agreement shall be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of two
arbitrators and an umpire, meeting in Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed.

The members of the board of arbitration shall be active or retired disinterested officials of
insurance or reinsurance companies, or Lloyds Underwriters. Each party shall appoint its
arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. In the
event that either party should fail to choose an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following a
written request by the other party to enter upon arbitration, the requesting party may choose two
arbitrators who shall in turn choose an umpire before entering upon arbitration. In the event the
two arbitrators fail to agree on an umpire either party shall have the right to submit the matter
to the American Arbitration Association in effect at that time.

Each party shall present its case to the arbitrators within sixty (60) days following the date of
their appointment. The board shall make its decision with regard to the custom and usage of the
insurance and reinsurance business. The board shall issue its decision in writing based upon a
hearing in which evidence may be introduced without following strict rules of evidence but

 

-4-

in which cross examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. The board shall make its
decision within 60 days following the termination of the hearings unless the parties consent
to an extension. The majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon all
parties to the proceeding. Judgement may be entered upon the award of the board in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

If more than one Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such Reinsurers shall constitute
and act as one party for purposes of this clause and communications shall be made by the Reassured
to each of the Reinsurers constituting the one party, provided, however, that nothing therein
shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or
claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Reinsurers under the terms of this
Agreement from several to joint.

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

ARTICLE 10 — OFFSET CLAUSE

Each party hereto shall have, and may exercise at any time and from time to time, the right to
offset any balance or balances, whether on account of premiums or on account of losses or
otherwise, due from such party to the other (or, if more than one, any other) party hereto under
this Contract or under any other reinsurance agreement heretofore or hereafter entered into by and
between them, and may offset the same against any balance or balances due or to become due to the
former from the latter under the same or any other reinsurance agreement between them; and the
party asserting the right of offset shall have and may exercise such right whether the balance or
balances due or to become due to such party from the other are on account of premiums or on
account of losses or otherwise and regardless of the capacity, whether as assuming insurer or as
ceding insurer, in which each party acted under the agreement or, if more than one, the different
agreements involved.

ARTICLE 11 — ADVANCES

If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any State of the United States of America or the District of
Columbia where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities, the Reinsurers will
fund (provided particulars are received forty-five days prior to the date funding is required by
the Company) outstanding losses by either cash advances, escrow accounts for the benefit of the
Company, Letters of Credit, or a combination thereof, if a penalty would accrue to the Company on
its statement without such funding. The Reinsurers shall have the sole option of determining the
method of funding referred to above provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory
authorities involved.

LOSS RESERVES: (U.S. Dollar Reinsurance Letter of Credit) (Applies only to those
Reinsurers who are domiciled outside the United States of America who cannot qualify for credit by
the State having jurisdiction over the Company’s loss reserves).

As regards policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Agreement,
the Company agrees that when it shall file with the Insurance Department or set up on its books
reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required to set up by law it will
forward to the Reinsurers a

 

-5-

statement showing the proportion of such loss reserves which is applicable to them. The
Reinsurers hereby agree that they will apply for and secure delivery to the Company a clean
irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by Citibank N.A. in an amount equal to Reinsurers’ proportion
of said loss reserves.

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

	 	A.	 	To pay the Reinsurers’ share or to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurers’ share of
any liability for loss reinsured by this Agreement.
	 
	 	B.	 	To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay
Reinsurers’ share of any liability reinsured by this Agreement.

Citibank N.A. shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of
withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to see that
withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the
Company.

ARTICLE 12 — SERVICE OF SUIT

This Article applies only to other than Domestic Reinsurers.

In the event of the failure of the Reinsurers to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the
Reinsurers, at the request of the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of any court of
competent jurisdiction within the United States and will comply with all requirements necessary
to give such court jurisdiction and all matters arising hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with the law and practice of such court.

Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, Three Park
Avenue, New York, New York 10016 and that in any suit instituted, the Reinsurers will abide
by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the
Reinsurers in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking
to the Company that they will enter a general appearance upon the Reinsurers’ behalf in the
event such a suit shall be instituted.

Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which
makes provisions therefore, the Reinsurers hereby designate the Superintendent, Commissioner or
Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his
successor or successors in office, as their true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any
lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or
any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract of reinsurance, 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.

therefrom, the terms “accident or occurrence” and “series of accidents or occurrences”
shall mean the claim or series of claims for which the Company may be liable on
account of diseases or deaths resulting therefrom assigned by the Company to each
calendar year of coverage under any one policy or renewals thereof. In making such
assignments the Company will be bound by the following principles:

	 	1.	 	If liability is placed solely upon the employer or insurer as of the date the
claimant’s disability commences or becomes manifest and that date is within a period
of coverage under an applicable policy issued by the Company, the claim is to be
assigned to the calendar year of such date;
	 
	 	2.	 	If assignment is not made on the basis stated in the preceding
subparagraph the claim is to be assigned to the calendar year of the date of the
claimant’s last injurious exposure during a period of coverage under an
applicable policy issued by the Company.
	 
	 	 	 	It is also agreed that disease cases which are not chargeable to this Contract
under the above principles and which are not chargeable to a previous
reinsurance contract shall be charged to this Contract and be treated as an
accident occurring durinq 1979.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above set forth it is agreed that as to
any policyholder to whom the Company issues disease coverage which is in effect
for only twelve consecutive months or less all of the Company’s losses on
account of disease claims will be charged for the purpose of this reinsurance to
the calendar year which includes the date the Company’s disease coverage became
effective.

 

-4-

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a policyholder requests that it be
issued two or more policies in circumstances where applicable manual rules permit
the issuance of a single policy such policies shall be regarded as a single
policy for purposes of assigning disease claims to calendar year coverage.

SECTION 6 — NOTICE TO REINSURERS

As soon as practicable after it appears probable that the Company’s ultimate net loss on account of
any one accident or occurrence will exceed the amount above which the Reinsurers are liable under
this Exhibit, the Company shall notify the Reinsurers and provide them full information relative
thereto, and copies of all papers that may be desired by them, and the Reinsurers shall be given
every opportunity to participate in the defense of any such suit, proceeding or claim at their own
expense.

SECTION 7 — PAYMENT BY THE COMPANY

The Company shall be the sole judge as to what claims are covered under its policies, as to
the liability of the Company therefor and as to the amounts which the Company should pay
thereon, and the Reinsurers shall be bound by the judgement of the Company as to such matters.

All settlements of losses effected by the Company shall be binding upon the Reinsurers, and
the Reinsurers shall be liable for their proportion thereof.

SECTION 8 — CLAIMS AGAINST REINSURERS

The Company shall, after it has paid any amount of ultimate net loss for which the Reinsurers
may be liable under this Exhibit, submit to the Reinsurers a definite claim for such amount.
If any subsequent losses shall be paid by the Company on account of the same accident or
occurrence, additional claims hereunder shall be similarly made from time to time. Losses
shall be due and payable by the Reinsurers within fifteen days after claim hereunder is
proved.

All salvages, recoveries and payments recovered or received subsequent to a loss settlement
under this Exhibit shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the said settlement
and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto.

SECTION 9 — COMMUTATION

	 	A.	 	At any time subsequent to two years after the date of notice
to the Reinsurers of an accident or occurrence which may involve this Exhibit,
representatives of the parties shall, at the request of either of them, meet in
Boston, Massachusetts, for the purpose of appraising the Reinsurers’ ultimate
liability to the Company under this Exhibit on account of the claims resulting
from such accident or occurrence. The value of the Company’s incurred losses from
such claims shall be calculated as of a date certain not more than 45 days after
the date the appraisal begins. In such calculation, the value of each case as of
such date shall be determined based upon a rate of discount to be mutually agreed
and by the use of the latest available remarriage, survivorship, and mortality
tables to determine probabilities of remarriage and normal life expectancies.

 

-5-

	 	B.	 	If the parties agree as to the amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the
Company on account of the claims resulting from such accident or occurrence, the
Reinsurers shall, on or before the date as of which the claims were valued, redeem their
liability hereunder by the payment of such amount to the Company.
	 
	 	C.	 	If the parties cannot, at such first appraisal, reach an agreement as to the
amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the Company on account of such accident
or occurrence, settlement hereunder shall be deferred for one year, when a second
appraisal of the amount due the Company from the Reinsurers shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph A of this Section.
If the parties then agree as to the amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the
Company on account of such accident or occurrence, settlement shall be made as outlined
in Paragraph B of this Section.
	 
	 	D.	 	If the parties do not reach an agreement as a result of the second appraisal,
settlement hereunder shall be deferred for another year, at the end of which a third and
last such appraisal of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the Company shall be made.
If, as a result of such appraisal, the parties agree on the amount of the Reinsurers’
ultimate liability to the Company, settlement will be made as provided in Paragraph B of
this Section. If they do not reach an agreement as a result of such third appraisal,
the amount of the Reinsurers’ liability to the Company on account of such accident or
occurrence shall promptly be determined by arbitration, in accordance with Article 9 of
the Contract. The arbitrators, in determining the value of the claims against the
Company on account of such accident or occurrence, shall follow the provisions of
Paragraph A of this Section. The amount, if any, determined by the arbitration to be due
the Company from the Reinsurers shall be paid in the manner provided in Paragraph B of this Section.

This Exhibit B is attached to and forms part of the Workers’ Compensation and General Liability
Sixth Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract issued to LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY and LIBERTY
MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.

the company or companies reinsured.)

     1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly
or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed
for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear Energy risks.

Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly
and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including business

isotopes in any form where the nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the
primary hazard.

     6. The term “special nuclear material” shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, or by any law amendatory thereof.

     7. Reassured to be sole judge of what constitutes:

ARTICLE 1 — EXHIBITS COVERED

The Company shall reinsure with the Reinsurers and the Reinsurers shall accept reinsurance
from the Company as set forth in Exhibits “A” and “B”, which are attached hereto and made part of
this Contract, such Exhibits being entitled for purposes of identification as follows:

Exhibit “A” Excess of Loss Reinsurance of General Liability

Exhibit “B” Excess of Loss Reinsurance of Workers’ Compensation.

ARTICLE 2 — RETENTION BY COMPANY

This Contract applies only to such portion of any obligation of the Company as the Company retains
net for its own account, and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and in computing the
amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches only loss or losses in respect to that
portion of any obligation which the Company retains net for its own account shall be included.

It is agreed that the amount or amounts of the Reinsurers’ liability hereunder in respect of any
losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other
Reinsurers whether specific or general, any amount or amounts which may have become due from them
whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurers or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3 — REINSURANCE PREMIUM

	(a)	 	The Reinsurers’ premium for the reinsurance provided under this Contract shall be
computed by the application of a rate of .0018% to the Company’s net premium written on the
business covered under Exhibits “A” and “B” subject to an annual minimum and deposit premium
of $36,000 for the combined Seventh Excess of Loss layer provided under Exhibits “A” and “B”.
	 
	(b)	 	The minimum and deposit premium as provided for in (a) above shall be payable to Reinsurers
in four equal quarterly installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The Company
shall undertake to furnish to the Reinsurers at the conclusion of each year a report of the
net premiums written during such year. If the Reinsurers’ annual premium for the Seventh
Excess of Loss Reinsurance under Exhibits “A” and “B” computed
in accordance with the provisions of (a) above is more than the annual minimum and
deposit premium of $36,000. the Company shall promptly pay the difference to the
Reinsurers.

 

-2-

	(c)	 	For the contract period May 15, 1979 through December 31, 1979 the reinsurance
premium shall be computed in accordance with (a) above and shall be pro rated (15/24ths)
based upon the Company’s net premium written for 1979 subject to a minimum and deposit
premium of $22,500 payable at inception.
	 
	(d)	 	The term “net premium written” shall mean gross premiums written by the Company on the

be made for dividends declared, paid or credited to policyholders of the Company.

ARTICLE 4 — SUBROGATION

are hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or
its policyholders or otherwise to enforce such rights.

The expense of any subrogation proceedings brought by the Company or the Reinsurers to enforce such
rights shall be apportioned between the Company and the Reinsurers in the ratio of their respective
interests in the total subrogation recovery but in the event there is a failure to make a
subrogation recovery the expense of the proceedings shall be apportioned between the Company and
the Reinsurers in the ratio of their respective interests in the total loss.

All subrogation recoveries made by either party subsequent to payments made by the Reinsurers under
this Contract shall be applied as if made prior to said payments and all necessary adjustments
shall be made between the Company and the Reinsurers as soon as practicable after said subrogation
recovery is made.

waive its right of subrogation.

ARTICLE 8 — INSOLVENCY CLAUSE

The reinsurance provided by this Contract shall be payable by the Reinsurers directly to the
Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the
Company under the contracts reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company.
In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of
the Company shall give written notice of the pendency of each claim against the Company on a policy
or bond reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding;
and during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurers may investigate such claim and interpose, at
their own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses
which it may deem available to the Company, its liquidator or receiver or statutory successor. The
expense thus incurred by the Reinsurers shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the
Company as a part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of such proportionate share of the
benefit as shall accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the
Reinsurers.

This reinsurance shall be payable as hereinbefore in the above paragraph provided except as
otherwise provided by Section 315 (relating to Fidelity and Surety Risks) of the Insurance Law of
New York or except (a) where the Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance

this Agreement shall be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of two
arbitrators and an umpire, meeting in Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed.

The members of the board of arbitration shall be active or retired disinterested officials of
insurance or reinsurance companies, or Lloyds Underwriters. Each party shall appoint its
arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. In
the event that either party should fail to choose an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
following a written request by the other party to enter upon arbitration, the requesting party
may choose two arbitrators who shall in turn choose an umpire before entering upon
arbitration. In the event the two arbitrators fail to agree on an umpire either party shall
have the right to submit the matter to the American Arbitration Association in effect at that
time.

Each party shall present its case to the arbitrators within sixty (60) days following the date of
their appointment. The board shall make its decision with regard to the custom and usage of the
insurance and reinsurance business. The board shall issue its decision in writing based upon a
hearing in which evidence may be introduced without following strict rules of evidence but

in which cross examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. The board shall make its decision
within 60 days following the termination of the hearings unless the parties consent to an
extension. The majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the
proceeding. Judgement may be entered upon the award of the board in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.

If more than one Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such Reinsurers shall constitute
and act as one party for purposes of this clause and communications shall be made by the Reassured
to each of the Reinsurers constituting the one party, provided, however, that nothing therein
shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or
claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Reinsurers under the terms of this
Agreement from several to joint.

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

ARTICLE 10 — OFFSET CLAUSE

Each party hereto shall have, and may exercise at any time and from time to time, the right
to offset any balance or balances, whether on account of premiums or on account of losses or
otherwise, due from such party to the other (or, if more than one, any other) party hereto under
this Contract or under any other reinsurance agreement heretofore or hereafter entered into by and
between them, and may offset the same against any balance or balances due or to become due to the
former from the latter under the same or any other reinsurance agreement between them; and the
party asserting the right of offset shall have and may exercise such right whether the balance or
balances due or to become due to such party from the other are on account of premiums or on
account of losses or otherwise and regardless of the capacity, whether as assuming insurer or as
ceding insurer, in which each party acted under the agreement or, if more than one, the different
agreements involved.

Company, Letters of Credit, or a combination thereof, if a penalty would accrue to the Company on
its statment without such funding. The Reinsurers shall have the sole option of determining the
method of funding referred to above provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory
authorities involved.

with respect to accidents or occurrences under retrospectively-rated-policies.
	 
	 	D.	 	Liability under any Insolvency Fund arising by contract, operation of law or
otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary. “Insolvency Fund” includes any guaranty

denominated, established or governed, which provides for any assessment of or payment or
assumption by the Company of part or all of any claim debt, charge, fee, or other
obligation of an insurer, or its successors, or assigns, which has been declared by any
competent authority to be insolvent, or which has been otherwise deemed unable to meet

SECTION 5 — DEFINITIONS

As used in this Exhibit the following terms shall have the meanings stated herein:

	 	A.	 	“Policies”. Policies, contracts, endorsements or binders, including but not
limited to those by which the Company undertakes to offer and pay “voluntary
compensation” benefits, those by which the Company undertakes to make payments to augment
compensation benefits those by which the Company affords reinsurance or excess insurance
to Workers’ Compensation or Employers’ Liability risks and those by which the Company
undertakes to participate in voluntary or statutory pools or assigned-risk plans.
	 
	 	B.	 	“Explosive Substance”. Any substance manufactured for the express purpose of
exploding as differentiated from commodities used industrially and which are only
incidentally explosive — such as gasoline, celluloid, fuel gases and dyestuffs.
	 
	 	C.	 	“Accident or Occurrence”. Any one accident or occurrence or, if a series of
accidents or occurrences arising out of one event, such series of accidents or
occurrences provided, however, with respect to disease, including death resulting
therefrom, the terms “accident or occurrence” and “series of accidents or occurrences” shall
mean the claim or series of claims for which the Company may be liable on account of
diseases or deaths resulting therefrom assigned by the Company to each calendar
year of coverage under any one policy or renewals thereof. In making such
assignments the Company will be bound by the following principles:

	 	1.	 	If liability is placed solely upon the employer or insurer
as of the date the claimant’s disability commences or becomes manifest and that
date is within a period of coverage under an applicable policy issued by the
Company, the claim is to be assigned to the calendar year of such date;
	 
	 	2.	 	If assignment is not made on the basis stated in the preceding
subparagraph the claim is to be assigned to the calendar year of the date of the
claimant’s last injurious exposure during
a period of coverage under an applicable policy issued by the Company.
	 
	 	 	 	It is also agreed that disease cases which are not chargeable to this Contract
under the above principles and which are not chargeable to a previous reinsurance
contract shall be charged to this Contract and be treated as an accident occurring
durinq 1979.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above set forth it is agreed that as to
any policyholder to whom the Company issues disease coverage which is in effect
for only twelve consecutive months or less all of the Company’s losses on account
of disease claims will be charged for the purpose of this reinsurance to the
calendar year which includes the date the Company’s disease coverage became
effective.

 

-4-

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a policyholder requests that it be issued
two or more policies in circumstances where applicable manual rules permit the
issuance of a single policy such policies shall be regarded as a single policy
for purposes of assigning disease claims to calendar year coverage.

SECTION 6 — NOTICE TO REINSURERS

As soon as practicable after it appears probable that the Company’s ultimate net loss on account of
any one accident or occurrence will exceed the amount above which the Reinsurers are liable under
this Exhibit, the Company shall notify the Reinsurers and provide them full information relative
thereto, and copies of all papers that may be desired by them, and the Reinsurers shall be given
every opportunity to participate in the defense of any such suit, proceeding or claim at their own
expense.

SECTION 7 — PAYMENT BY THE COMPANY

The Company shall be the sole judge as to what claims are covered under its policies, as
to the liability of the Company therefor and as to the amounts which the Company should pay
thereon, and the Reinsurers shall be bound by the judgement of the Company as to such matters.

All settlements of losses effected by the Company shall be binding upon the Reinsurers, and the
Reinsurers shall be liable for their proportion thereof.

SECTION 8 — CLAIMS AGAINST REINSURERS

The Company shall, after it has paid any amount of ultimate net loss for which the
Reinsurers may be liable under this Exhibit, submit to the Reinsurers a definite claim for such
amount. If any subsequent losses shall be paid by the Company on account of the same accident
or occurrence, additional claims hereunder shall be similarly made from time to time. Losses
shall be due and payable by the Reinsurers within fifteen days after claim hereunder is proved.

All salvages, recoveries and payments recovered or received subsequent to a loss settlement
under this Exhibit shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the said settlement
and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto.

SECTION 9 — COMMUTATION

	 	A.	 	At any time subsequent to two years after the date of notice
to the Reinsurers of an accident or occurrence which may involve this Exhibit,
representatives of the parties shall, at the request of either of them, meet in
Boston, Massachusetts, for the purpose of appraising the Reinsurers’ ultimate
liability to the Company under this Exhibit on account of the claims resulting from
such accident or occurrence. The value of the Company’s incurred losses from such
claims shall be calculated as of a date certain not more than 45 days after the
date the appraisal begins. In such calculation, the value of each case as of such
date shall be determined based upon a rate of discount to be mutually agreed and by
the use of the latest available remarriage, survivorship, and mortality tables to
determine probabilities of remarriage and normal life expectancies.

 

-5-

	 	B.	 	If the parties agree as to the amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the
Company on account of the claims resulting from such accident or occurrence, the
Reinsurers shall, on or before the date as of which the claims were valued, redeem
their liability hereunder by the payment of such amount to the Company.
	 
	 	C.	 	If the parties cannot, at such first appraisal, reach an agreement as to the
amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the Company on account of such accident
or occurrence, settlement hereunder shall be deferred for one year, when a second
appraisal of the amount due the Company from the Reinsurers shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph A of this Section.
If the parties then agree as to the amount of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to
the Company on account of such accident or occurrence, settlement shall be made as
outlined in Paragraph B of this Section.
	 
	 	D.	 	If the parties do not reach an agreement as a result of the second appraisal,
settlement hereunder shall be deferred for another year, at the end of which a third and
last such appraisal of the Reinsurers’ ultimate liability to the Company shall be made.
If, as a result of such appraisal, the parties agree on the amount of the Reinsurers’
ultimate liability to the Company, settlement will be made as provided in Paragraph B of
this Section. If they do not reach an agreement as a result of such third appraisal,
the amount of the Reinsurers’ liability to the Company on account of such accident or
occurrence shall promptly be determined by arbitration, in accordance with Article 9 of
the Contract. The arbitrators, in determining the value of the claims against the
Company on account of such accident or occurrence, shall follow the provisions of
Paragraph A of this Section. The amount, if any, determined by the arbitration to be
due the Company from the Reinsurers shall
be paid in the manner provided in Paragraph B of this Section.

This Exhibit B is attached to and forms part of the Workers’ Compensation and General Liability
Seventh Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract issued to LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY and LIBERTY
MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.
