by

The Subscribing Reinsurer(s) Executing the

Interests and Liabilities Agreement(s)

Attached Hereto

(hereinafter referred to as the “Reinsurer")

Article I — Classes of Business Reinsured

By this Contract the Reinsurer agrees to reinsure the excess liability which may accrue to the
Company under its policies, contracts and binders of insurance or reinsurance (hereinafter called
“policies”) in force at the effective date hereof or issued or renewed on or after that date, and
classified by the Company as Property business, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth herein and in Schedule A attached to and forming part of this Contract.

Article II — Term

	A.  	This Contract shall become effective on July 1, 2004, with respect to losses arising out of
loss occurrences commencing on or after that date, and shall remain in force until May 31,
2005, both days inclusive.

	B.  	If this Contract expires while a loss occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, the
Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Contract, be determined as if the entire loss occurrence had occurred prior to the expiration
of this Contract, provided that no part of such loss occurrence is claimed against any renewal
or replacement of this Contract.

Article III — Territory (BRMA 51A)

The territorial limits of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Company’s
policies.

 

 

Article IV — Exclusions

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

	 	1.  	Assumed reinsurance except for a 50.0% quota share of the First American Property
and Casualty Insurance Company Florida Homeowners Program produced and underwritten by
Mobile Homeowners Insurance Agencies, Inc.
	 
	 	2.  	Financial guarantee and insolvency.
	 
	 	3.  	Nuclear risks as defined in the “Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause — Physical
Damage — Reinsurance (U.S.A.)” and the “Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause — Physical
Damage — Reinsurance (Canada)” attached to and forming part of this Contract.
	 
	 	4.  	Loss or damage caused by or resulting from war, invasion, hostilities, acts of
foreign enemies, civil war, rebellion, insurrection, military or usurped power, or
martial law or confiscation by order of any government or public authority, but this

standard War Exclusion Clause.
	 
	 	5.  	Loss or liability excluded under the provisions of the “Pools, Associations and
Syndicates Exclusion Clause” attached to and forming part of this Contract.
	 
	 	6.  	All liability of the Company arising by contract, operation of law, or otherwise,
from its participation or membership, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any insolvency
fund. “Insolvency fund” includes any guaranty fund, insolvency fund, plan, pool,
association, fund or other arrangement, however 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
is otherwise deemed unable to meet any claim, debt, charge, fee or other obligation in
whole or in part.
	 
	 	7.  	Losses in respect of overhead transmission and distribution lines and their
supporting structures other than those on or within 300 meters (or 1,000 feet) of the
insured premises. It is understood and agreed that public utilities extension and/or

	 	10.  	Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary within this Contract or any
amendment thereto, it is agreed that this Contract excludes loss, damage, cost or expense
directly or indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising

 

 

out of or
in connection with any act of terrorism, as defined herein, regardless of any other cause
or event contributing concurrently or in any other sequence to the loss.

An “act of terrorism” includes any act, or preparation in respect of action, or threat of
action, designed to influence the government de jure or de facto of any nation or any
political division thereof, or in pursuit of political, religious, ideological, or
similar purposes to intimidate the public or a section of the public of any nation by any
person or group(s) of persons, whether acting alone or on behalf of or in connection with
any organization(s) or government(s) de jure or de facto, and which:

	 	a.  	Involves violence against one or more persons; or
	 
	 	b.  	Involves damage to property; or
	 
	 	c.  	Endangers life other than that of the person committing the action; or
	 
	 	d.  	Creates a risk to health or safety of the public or a section of the public; or
	 
	 	e.  	Is designed to interfere with or to disrupt an electronic system.

This Contract also excludes loss, damage, cost or expense directly or indirectly caused
by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising out of or in connection with any action
in controlling, preventing, suppressing, retaliating against or responding to any act of
terrorism.

Notwithstanding the above and subject otherwise to the terms, conditions, and limitations
of this Contract, in respect only of personal lines this Contract will pay actual loss or
damage (but not related cost or expense) caused by any act of terrorism provided such act
is not directly or indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising
out of or in connection with biological, chemical, or nuclear pollution or contamination.

	 	11.  	Loss or liability in any way or to any extent arising out of the actual or alleged
presence or actual, alleged or threatened presence of fungi including, but not limited to,
mold, mildew, mycotoxins, microbial volatile organic compounds or other “microbial
contaminations.” This includes:

	 	a.  	Any supervision, instruction, recommendations, warnings or advice given
or which should have been given in connection with the above; and
	 
	 	b.  	Any obligation to share damages with or repay someone else who must pay
damages because of such injury or damage.

For purposes of this exclusion, “microbial contamination” means any contamination, either
airborne or surface, which arises out of or is related to the presence of fungi, mold,
mildew, mycotoxins, microbial volatile organic compounds or spores, including, without
limitation, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Aspergillus Flavus and Stachybotrys
chartarum.

 

 

Losses resulting from the above causes do not in and of themselves constitute an event
unless arising out of one or more of the following perils, in which case this exclusion
does not apply:

Fire, lightning, explosion, aircraft or vehicle impact, falling objects, windstorm,
hail, tornado, cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, volcano, tsunami, flood, freeze or
weight of snow.

Notice of any claims for mold-related losses must be given by the Company to the
Reinsurer, in writing, within 24 months after the commencement date of the loss
occurrence to which such claims relate.

	 	12.  	Loss or liability excluded under the provisions of the “Electronic Data Endorsement
B” (N.M.A. 2915) attached to and forming part of this Contract.

Article V — Retention and Limit

	A.  	The Company shall retain and be liable for the first $7,000,000 of ultimate net loss
arising out of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable for the amount by
which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company’s retention, but the liability of the
Reinsurer shall not exceed $3,000,000 as respects any one loss occurrence.

	B.  	No claim shall be made under this Contract as respects any one loss occurrence unless at
least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss occurrence. For
purposes of this Contract, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes one risk.

	C.  	Notwithstanding the provisions above, the ultimate net loss (including loss in excess of
policy limits, extra contractual obligations, and loss adjustment expense) as respects any one
loss occurrence with regard to the 50.0% quota share of the First American Property and
Casualty Insurance Company Florida Homeowners Program produced and underwritten by Mobile
Homeowners Insurance Agencies, Inc. shall not exceed the Company’s pro rata share of the
250-year Probable Maximum Loss as modeled in RMS as of the date on which the loss occurrence
commences.

Article VI — Reinstatement

	A.  	In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance hereunder is exhausted by loss, the
amount so exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence
commences hereon. For each amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium
equal to the product of the following:

	 	1.  	The percentage of the occurrence limit reinstated (based on the loss paid by the
Reinsurer); times
	 
	 	2.  	The final adjusted reinsurance premium, as calculated in accordance with Article
XIII, for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).

 

 

	B.  	Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any loss hereunder, the Company
shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer. If the
final adjusted reinsurance premium for the term of this Contract has not been determined as of
the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due shall be based on
the deposit premium and shall be readjusted when the final
adjusted reinsurance premium for the term of this Contract has been determined. Any
reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer as reflected by any such statement (less
prior payments, if any) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the
Reinsurer of the requested loss. Any return reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company
shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of
the Company’s statement.

	C.  	Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer hereunder shall not
exceed $3,000,000 as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss occurrence, nor shall
it exceed $6,000,000 in all during the term of this Contract.

Article VII — Definitions

	A.  	“Ultimate net loss” as used herein is defined as the sum or sums (including loss in excess
of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as hereinafter
defined) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction of
judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all recoveries
and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not. Nothing
herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until
the Company’s ultimate net loss has been ascertained.

	B.  	“Loss in excess of policy limits” and “extra contractual obligations” as used herein shall be
defined as follows:

	 	1.  	“Loss in excess of policy limits” shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by
the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,
such loss in excess of the Company’s policy limits having been incurred because of, but
not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of
the Company’s alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of
settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its
insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon
such an action.

	 	2.  	“Extra contractual obligations” shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,
compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not covered by any
other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of any claim on
business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited
to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of the
Company’s alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of
settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its
insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon
such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all circumstances,
to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the
policy.

 

 

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the amount included in the ultimate net loss for any
one loss occurrence as respects loss in excess of policy limits and extra contractual
obligations shall not exceed 25.0% of the Company’s indemnity loss hereunder arising out of
that loss occurrence.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess of
policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any
fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.

If any provision of this paragraph B 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.

	C.  	“Loss adjustment expense” as used herein shall mean expenses assignable to the investigation,
appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense and/or appeal of specific claims,
regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory reporting purposes. Loss
adjustment expense shall include, but not be limited to, declaratory judgments, interest on
judgments, expenses of outside adjusters, and a pro rata share of the salaries and expenses of
the Company’s field employees according to the time occupied adjusting such losses and
expenses of the Company’s officials incurred in connection with the losses, but shall not
include office expenses or salaries of the Company’s regular employees.

Article VIII — Other Reinsurance

	A.  	The Company shall be permitted to carry excess reinsurance, recoveries under which shall
inure to the benefit of this Contract.

	B.  	The Company shall be permitted to carry quota share reinsurance, recoveries under which shall
inure solely to the benefit of the Company.

Article IX — Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund

	A.  	Any loss reimbursement paid or payable to the Company under the Florida Hurricane
Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”) as a result of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this
Contract shall inure to the benefit of this Contract. Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement
shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in accordance with the reimbursement contract
between the Company and the State Board of Administration of the State of Florida at the full
payout level set forth therein and will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or
exhaustion of the FHCF’s claims paying capacity.

	B.  	Prior to the determination of the Company’s FHCF retention and payout, if any, under the
reimbursement contract, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder will be determined provisionally
based on the projected payout, determined in accordance with the provisions of the
reimbursement contract. Following determination of the payout under the reimbursement
contract, the ultimate net loss under this Contract will be recalculated. If, as a result of
such

 

 

calculation, the loss to the Reinsurer under any excess layer of this Contract in any one
loss occurrence is less than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer under that excess
layer, the Company shall promptly remit the difference to the Reinsurer. If the loss to the
Reinsurer under any excess layer in any one loss occurrence is greater than the amount
previously paid by the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall promptly remit the difference to the
Company.

	C.  	If an FHCF reimbursement amount is based on the Company’s losses in more than one loss
occurrence and the FHCF does not designate the amount allocable to each loss occurrence, the
FHCF reimbursement amount shall be prorated in the proportion that the Company’s losses in
each loss occurrence bear to the Company’s total losses arising out of all loss occurrences to
which the FHCF reimbursement applies.

	D.  	Any reimbursement premiums or emergency assessment paid by the Company under the FHCF shall
be deemed to be premiums paid for inuring reinsurance.

Article X — Loss Occurrence

	A.  	The term “loss occurrence” shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned
by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out
of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of
Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the duration
and extent of any one “loss occurrence” shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by
the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly
occasioned by the same event, except that the term “loss occurrence” shall be further defined
as follows:

	 	1.  	As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse
and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any
period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event.
However, the event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces
contiguous thereto.
	 
	 	2.  	As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious
mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of
72 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the municipalities
or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event.
The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual
losses which occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an
insured’s premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid
period.
	 
	 	3.  	As regards earthquake (the epicentre of which need not necessarily be within the
territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire
following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which
commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s
“loss occurrence.”

 

 

	 	4.  	As regards “freeze,” only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse,
breakage of glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be
included in the Company’s “loss occurrence.”
	 
	 	5.  	As regards firestorms, brush fires, and other fires or series of fires,
irrespective of origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 2 and 3 above), which spread
through trees, grassland or other vegetation, all individual losses sustained by the Company
which occur during any period of 168 consecutive hours within a 100-mile radius of any
one fixed point selected by the Company may be included in the Company’s “loss
occurrence.” However, an individual loss subject to this subparagraph cannot be included
in more than one “loss occurrence.”

	B.  	For all those “loss occurrences,” other than those referred to in subparagraph 2 of paragraph
A above, the Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours
commences, provided that it is not earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the
first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident
or loss, and provided that only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with
respect to one event, except for any “loss occurrence” referred to in subparagraph 1 of
paragraph A above where only one such period of 72 consecutive hours shall apply with respect
to one event, regardless of the duration of the event.

	C.  	As respects those “loss occurrences” referred to in subparagraph 2 of paragraph A above, if
the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than 72
consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or
more “loss occurrences,” provided no two periods overlap and no individual loss is included in
more than one such period and provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time
of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out
of that disaster, accident or loss.

	D.  	No individual losses occasioned by an event that would be covered by 72 hours clauses may be
included in any “loss occurrence” claimed under the 168 hours provision.

Article XI — Loss Notices and Settlements

	A.  	Whenever losses sustained by the Company appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the
Company shall notify the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in
the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.

	B.  	All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this
Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for
which it may be liable upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid (or scheduled to
be paid) by the Company.

Article XII — Salvage and Subrogation

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by
the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company and
sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on
account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage

 

 

thereon shall always be
used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority according to their
participation before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. The
Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part
of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such
rights.

Article XIII — Reinsurance Premium

	A.  	As premium for the reinsurance provided hereunder, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer
0.457% of its gross earned premium for the term of this Contract, subject to a minimum premium
of $702,000.

	B.  	The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium of $877,500 in four equal installments
of $219,375 on July 1, September 1 and December 1 of 2004 and March 1, 2005.

	C.  	Within 45 days after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall provide a report to
the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder, computed in accordance with paragraph
A, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company shall be
remitted promptly.

	D.  	“Gross earned premium” as used herein is defined as earned premium of the Company for the
classes of business reinsured hereunder, before the deduction of any premiums ceded by the
Company for reinsurance which inures to the benefit of this Contract. Gross earned premium
will not include the Company’s earned premium for Homeowners, Manufactured Homeowners Dwelling
and Condominium policies that include a “No Wind/No Water” exclusion. It is understood that
gross earned premium shall include catastrophe fees, but shall exclude MGA fees, DRST fees and
policy surcharges to recoup residual market deficit assessments.

Article XIV — Late Payments

	A.  	The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in
writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.

	B.  	In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the
intermediary named in Article XXXI (hereinafter referred to as the “Intermediary”) by the
payment due date, the party to whom payment is due, may, by notifying the Intermediary in
writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest
penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of
each month as follows:

	 	1.  	The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly
calculation, whichever the lesser; times
	 
	 	2.  	1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate, as quoted in The Wall
Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made;
times

 

 

	 	3.  	The amount past due, including accrued interest.

It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus
interest penalties have been received by the Intermediary.

	C.  	The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as
follows:

	 	1.  	As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due
date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a
due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days
after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such
payment.
	 
	 	2.  	Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 business
days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If
such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on
the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the
proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.
	 
	 	3.  	As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise
provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of paragraph C above, the due date shall be as
provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not
specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 business days
following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have
been invoked.

For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon
receipt by the Intermediary.

	D.  	Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from
contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or
suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from
initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any
interest penalties due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the
debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty on the amount determined to
be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless
otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it
is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the
other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on
the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

	E.  	Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that are $100 or less from
any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or
more items over the course of any 12-month period.

 

 

Article XV — Offset (BRMA 36D)

The Company and the Reinsurer, each at its option, may offset any balance or balances, whether
on account of premiums, claims and losses, loss expenses or salvages due from one party to the
other under this Contract; provided, however, that in the event of the insolvency of a party
hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.

Article XVI — Access to Records (BRMA 1D)

The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to
all records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance.

Article XVII — Liability of the Reinsurer

	A.  	The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be
subject in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and
modifications of the Company’s policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event
shall this be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set
forth in this Contract.

	B.  	Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against the
Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.

Article XVIII — Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)

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

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

Article XIX — Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any
transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached
had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is
rectified as soon as possible after discovery.

 

 

Article XX — Currency (BRMA 12A)

	A.  	Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be
construed to mean United States Dollars and all transactions under this Contract shall be in
United States Dollars.

	B.  	Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted to United
States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date such transaction is entered on the books of
the Company.

Article XXI — Taxes (BRMA 50C)

In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim
a deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or profits
tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or
Canada.

Article XXII — Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17A)

(Applicable to those reinsurers, excepting Underwriters at Lloyd’s London and other reinsurers
exempt from Federal Excise Tax, who are domiciled outside the United States of America.)

	A.  	The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the
applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon as imposed under Section 4371 of the
Internal Revenue Code to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

	B.  	In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct the
applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent
should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.

Article XXIII — Reserve Requirements

	A.  	If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the
District of Columbia, the Reinsurer agrees to fund, on or before December 31, 2004, its share
of the Company’s ceded United States unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment
expense reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be
unreported, as determined by the Company, from known loss occurrences) by:

	 	1.  	Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if
confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or
banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of
letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or
	 
	 	2.  	Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or

	 	3.  	Cash advances;

 

 

if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement it
is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved. The Reinsurer, at its
sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of funding are acceptable to
the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

	B.  	If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any province or jurisdiction of Canada, the Reinsurer
agrees to fund, on or before December 31, 2004, 115% of its share of the Company’s ceded
Canadian unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including
all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be unreported, as determined by the
Company, from known loss occurrences) by:

	 	1.  	A clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit issued and confirmed, if
confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a Canadian
bank or banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers
of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities, for no more
than 15/115ths of the total funding required; and/or
	 
	 	2.  	Cash advances for the remaining balance of the funding required;

if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement it
is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

	C.  	With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each
letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved,
will be issued for a term of at least one year and will include an “evergreen clause,” which
automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless
written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said
expiration date or longer where required by insurance regulatory authorities. The Company and
the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, that
said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any
time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, but only
for one or more of the following purposes:

	 	1.  	To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer’s share of unearned premiums returned to
insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;
	 
	 	2.  	To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer’s share of losses and/or loss adjustment
expense paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the
Reinsurer;
	 
	 	3.  	To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts claimed to be
due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;
	 
	 	4.  	To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s share of any ceded
unearned premium and/or outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including
all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be unreported, as determined by
the Company, from known loss occurrences) funded by means of a letter of credit which is
under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by
the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;

 

 

	 	5.  	To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund
the Reinsurer’s share of the Company’s ceded unearned premium and/or outstanding loss and
loss adjustment expense reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount
estimated to be unreported, as determined by the Company, from known loss occurrences),
if so requested by the Reinsurer.

In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual
amount required for C(1) or C(2) or C(4), in the case of C(3), the actual amount determined to
be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.

Article XXIV — Insolvency

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

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

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

Article XXV — Arbitration

	A.  	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute or difference
between the Company and any Reinsurer relating to the interpretation or performance of

 

 

this Contract, including its formation or validity, or any transaction under this Contract, whether
arising before or after termination, shall be submitted to arbitration.

	B.  	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 Article provided that communication shall
be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting the one party, and
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 Reinsurer under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	C.  	Upon written request of any party, each party shall choose an arbitrator and the two chosen
shall select a third arbitrator. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator
within 30 days after receipt of the written request for arbitration, the requesting party may
appoint a second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the selection of a third
arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the Company shall petition the American
Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator. If the American Arbitration
Association fails to appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days after it has been requested
to do so, either party may request a justice of a court of general jurisdiction of the state
in which the arbitration is to be held to appoint the third arbitrator. All arbitrators shall
be active or retired officers of insurance or reinsurance companies, or Lloyd’s London
Underwriters, and disinterested in the outcome of the arbitration. Each party shall submit
its case to the arbitrators within 30 days of the appointment of the third arbitrator.

	D.  	The parties hereby waive all objections to the method of selection of the arbitrators, it
being the intention of both sides that all the arbitrators be chosen from those submitted by
the parties.

	E.  	The arbitrators shall have the power to determine all procedural rules for the holding of the
arbitration including but not limited to inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and
any other matter relating to the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall interpret
this Contract as an honorable engagement and not as merely a legal obligation; they are
relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law.
The arbitrators may award interest and costs. Each party shall bear the expense of its own
arbitrator and shall share equally with the other party the expenses of the third arbitrator
and of the arbitration.

	F.  	The decision in writing of the majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon
both parties. Judgment may be entered upon the final decision of the arbitrators in any court
having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, unless
otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the Reinsurer.

	G.  	This Article shall remain in full force and effect in the event any other provision of this
Contract shall be found invalid or non-binding.

	H.  	All time limitations stated in this Article may be amended by mutual consent of the parties,
and will be amended automatically to the extent made necessary by any circumstances beyond the
control of the parties.

 

 

Article XXVI — Service of Suit

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

	A.  	It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due
hereunder, the 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 Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action
in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United
States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the
laws of the United States or of any state in the United States.

	B.  	Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States
which makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its
Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent,
Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the
statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom
may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf
of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract.

Article XXVII — Agency Agreement

If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named
company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending or
receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of
remitting or receiving any monies due any party.

Article XXVIII — Governing Law

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania exclusive of the rules with respect to conflicts of law, except
as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which case the applicable rules of all the
states shall apply.

Article XXIX — Confidentiality

The Reinsurer, except with the express prior written consent of the Company, shall not
directly or indirectly communicate, disclose or divulge to any third party any knowledge or
information that may be acquired either directly or indirectly as a result of the inspection of the
Company’s books, records and papers. The restrictions as outlined in this Article shall not apply
to communication or disclosures that the Reinsurer is required to make to its statutory auditors,
retrocessionaires, legal counsel, arbitrators involved in any arbitration procedures under this
Contract or disclosures required upon subpoena or other duly-issued order of a court or other
governmental agency or regulatory authority.

 

 

Article XXX — Severability

If any provision of this Contract should be invalid under applicable laws, the latter shall
control but only to the extent of the conflict without affecting the remaining provisions of this
Contract.

Article XXXI — Intermediary (BRMA 23A)

Benfield Inc. is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all
business hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premium,
return premium, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss settlements)

No. TC1573A,B,C-R05

 

 

Swiss Re

	   	Agreement, and the Company shall cooperate in every respect in the defense of any such claim,
suit or proceeding.

ARTICLE XVI — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

	A.  	In the event of the payment of any indemnity by the Reinsurer under this Agreement, the
Reinsurer shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all of the rights of the
Company against any person or entity legally responsible for damages of the loss. The Company
agrees to enforce such rights; but, in case the Company refuses or neglects to do so, the
Reinsurer is hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of
the Company or their policyholders or otherwise to enforce such rights.
	 
	B.  	From any amount recovered by subrogation, salvage or other means, there shall first be
deducted the expenses incurred in effecting the recovery. The balance shall then be used to
reimburse the excess carriers in the inverse order to that in which their respective
liabilities attached, before being used to reimburse the Company for its primary loss.

ARTICLE XVII — TERRORISM EXCESS RECOVERY 

	A.  	For purposes of this Article:

	 	1.  	“Act” shall mean the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, any amendments thereto
and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
	 
	 	2.  	“Affiliate,” “Insured Losses,” and “Program Year” shall have the meanings provided
in the Act.
	 
	 	3.  	“Company” shall include the Company and all affiliates.

	B.  	This reinsurance shall not apply to any fines, civil penalties or surcharges assessed
pursuant to the Act.
	 
	C.  	To the extent that the Company allocates Insured Losses and/or federal assistance under the
Act among affiliates, claims, contracts or otherwise in any manner which impacts the
reinsurance provided hereunder, the Company shall apply a reasonable allocation method
acceptable to the Reinsurer.
	 
	D.  	To the extent that an Insured Loss is otherwise payable hereunder, the reinsurance provided
by this Agreement shall apply only to the portion of liability, loss, cost and/or expense
retained by the Company net of any federal assistance pursuant to the Act. For each Program
Year, the liability of the Reinsurer for Insured Losses under this Agreement shall be reduced
by the ratio that the financial assistance under the Act allocated to Policies subject to this
Agreement bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses subject

No. TC1573A,B,C-R05

 

 

Swiss Re

	   	to this Agreement. If the Company does not make such allocation, the liability of the
Reinsurer for Insured Losses in any Program Year under this Agreement shall be reduced by the
ratio that the financial assistance available to the Company under the Act for that Program
Year bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses for the same Program Year.
	 
	E.  	The parties recognize that, for any Program Year, the Reinsurer may without waiver of the
foregoing Paragraphs make payments for Insured Losses which, together with available financial
assistance under the Act and the Company retentions and/or deductibles hereunder, exceed the
Company’s Insured Losses. In such event, the Reinsurer’s proportional share of all such
excess recovery (hereafter “Reinsurer’s Excess Share”) shall inure to the benefit of the
Reinsurer. All excess recovery described in this Paragraph shall be allocated to the
Reinsurer and the Company in proportion to the respective liability of each for Insured
Losses, net of federal assistance under the Act, salvage, subrogation and other similar
recoveries, as applicable.
	 
	F.  	In the event of a Reinsurer’s Excess Share, the Company shall:

	 	1.  	Promptly pay the Reinsurer’s Excess Share to the Reinsurer; or
	 
	 	2.  	Upon request of the Reinsurer at any time and at the Reinsurer’s sole discretion,
instead assign to the Reinsurer its rights to recover directly from the federal
government any portion of Reinsurer’s Excess Share not already paid to the Reinsurer.
The Company shall cooperate with and assist the Reinsurer, at its own expense, to the
extent reasonably necessary for the Reinsurer to exercise those rights. If the Reinsurer
is unable, for any reason, to exercise any right assigned to it by the Company pursuant
to this Article, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer’s Excess Share to the Reinsurer as
if no assignment had taken place to the extent that the Company has not been deemed to
have forfeited the right to financial assistance under the Act by virtue of the attempted
assignment.

	G.  	In the event of an Insured Loss, the Company shall provide the Reinsurer with a monthly
report detailing claim settlement activities and financial assistance under the Act.
Calculations for each Program Year shall continue to be made until the settlement of all
Insured Losses covered hereunder.

ARTICLE XVIII — ACCESS TO RECORDS

ARTICLE XIX — TAXES

The Company shall be liable for all taxes on premiums paid to the Reinsurer under this Agreement,
except income or profit taxes of the Reinsurer, and shall indemnify and hold the Reinsurer harmless

taxing authority.

ARTICLE XX — CURRENCY

Wherever the word “dollars” or the “$” symbol is used in this Agreement, it shall mean dollars of
the United States of America, excepting in those cases where the Policy is issued by the Company in
Canadian dollars, in which case it shall mean dollars of Canada. In the event the Company is
involved in a loss requiring payment in United States and Canadian currency, the Company’s
retention and the limit of liability of the Reinsurer shall be apportioned between the two
currencies in the same proportion as the amount of net loss in each currency bears to the total
amount of net loss paid by the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, where the Company
receives premiums or pays losses in currencies other than United States or Canadian currency, such
premiums and losses shall be converted into United States dollars at the actual rates of exchange
at which the premiums and losses are entered in the Company’s books.

ARTICLE XXI — OFFSET

Each party to this Agreement together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise,
at any time, the right to offset any balance or balances due the other (or, if more than one, any
other). Such offset may include balances due under this Agreement and any other agreements
heretofore or hereafter entered into between the parties regardless of whether such balances arise
from premiums, losses or otherwise, and regardless of capacity of any party, whether as assuming
insurer and/or ceding insurer, under the various agreements involved, provided however, that in the
event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7427 of the Insurance Law of the State of New York to the extent such statute
or any other applicable law, statute or regulation governing such offset shall apply.

ARTICLE XXII — ERRORS OR OMISSIONS

Errors or omissions of an administrative nature on the part of the Company shall not invalidate the
reinsurance under this Agreement, provided such errors or omissions are corrected promptly after
discovery thereof; but the liability of the Reinsurer under this Agreement or any exhibits,
addenda, or endorsements attached hereto shall in no event
exceed the limits specified herein nor be extended to cover any risks, perils, lines of business or
classes of insurance generally or specifically excluded herein.

party (hereinafter referred to as the “respondent”) together with its notice of intention to

No. TC1573A,B,C-R05

 

 

Swiss Re

	  	arbitrate. Within 30 days after receiving such notice, the respondent shall also appoint an
arbitrator and notify the claimant thereof by certified mail. Before instituting a hearing,
the two arbitrators so appointed shall choose an umpire. If, within 20 days after the
appointment of the arbitrator chosen by the respondent, the two arbitrators fail to agree upon
the appointment of an umpire, each of them shall nominate three individuals to serve as
umpire, of whom the other shall decline two and the umpire shall be chosen from the remaining
two by drawing lots. The name of the individual first drawn shall be the umpire.
	 
	D.  	Failure of Party to Appoint an Arbitrator — If the respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator
within 30 days after receiving a notice of intention to arbitrate, the claimant’s arbitrator
shall appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the respondent, such arbitrator shall then, together
with the claimant’s arbitrator, choose an umpire as provided in Paragraph C. of Part III of
this Article.
	 
	E.  	Submission of Dispute to Panel — Unless otherwise extended by the arbitration panel or agreed
to by the parties, each party shall submit its case to the panel within 30 days after the
selection of the umpire.
	 
	F.  	Procedure Governing Arbitration — All proceedings before the panel shall be informal and the
panel shall not be bound by the formal rules of evidence. The panel shall have the power to
fix all procedural rules relating to the arbitration proceeding. In reaching any decision,
the panel shall give due consideration to the customs and usages of the insurance and
reinsurance business.
	 
	G.  	Arbitration Award — The arbitration panel shall render its decision within 60 days after
termination of the proceeding, which decision shall be in writing, stating the reasons
therefor. The decision of the majority of the panel shall be final and binding on the parties
to the proceeding.
	 
	H.  	Cost of Arbitration — Unless otherwise allocated by the panel, each party shall bear the

	B.  	The Reinsurer shall be given written notice of the pendency of each claim or loss which may
involve the reinsurance provided by this Agreement within a reasonable time after such claim
or loss is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Reinsurer shall have the right to
investigate each such claim or loss and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceedings
where the claim or loss is to be adjudicated, any defense which it may deem available to the
Company, its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus
incurred by the 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 Reinsurer.
	 
	C.  	In addition to the offset provisions set forth in Article XXI- Offset, any debts or credits,
liquidated or unliquidated, in favor of or against either party on the date of the
receivership or liquidation order (except where the obligation was purchased by or transferred
to be used as an offset) are deemed mutual debts or credits and shall be set off with the
balance only to be allowed or paid. Although such claim on the part of either party against
the other may be unliquidated or undetermined in amount on the date of the entry of the
receivership or liquidation order, such claim will be regarded as being in existence as of
such date and any claims then in existence and held by the other party may be offset against
it.
	 
	D.  	Nothing contained in this Article is intended to change the relationship or status of the
parties to this Agreement or to enlarge upon the rights or obligations of either party
hereunder except as provided herein.

ARTICLE XXV — SPECIAL TERMINATION

conservatorship with respect to the Company or the Reinsurer by any court or
regulatory authority;

forth in this Agreement.

discovery of the following event:

calendar year. Such reduction shall be determined by calculating the difference
between the Company’s prior year annual statement and each subsequent quarterly
statutory statement within such current calendar year.
	 
	 	   	As respects the event set forth in this Paragraph A.4., the Company shall
be obligated to notify the Reinsurer in writing within 30 days after the filing of
its quarterly statement. Upon receipt of such notification the Reinsurer shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement, by giving not less than 30 days notice
of its intention to do so.

	B.  	Any notice of termination pursuant to the provisions set forth in Paragraphs A.2., A.3. and
A.4. above shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. Such notice period
shall commence upon the other party’s receipt of the notice of termination.
	 
	C.  	In the event of termination, as provided under the provisions of this Article, the Reinsurer
shall not be liable for losses occurring subsequent to the date of termination.
