	 THE STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA (SBA)
 WHICH ADMINISTERS THE FLORIDA HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND (FHCF)

 PREAMBLE 
 The
Legislature of the State of Florida has enacted Section 215.555, Florida Statutes “Statute”, which directs the SBA to administer the FHCF. This Contract, consisting of the principal document entitled Reimbursement Contract, addressing
the mandatory FHCF coverage, and Addenda, is subject to the Statute and to any administrative rule adopted pursuant thereto, and is not intended to be in conflict therewith. All provisions in the principle document are equally applicable to each
Addenda unless specifically superseded by one of the Addenda. 
 In consideration of the promises set forth in this Contract, the parties agree as follows:

 ARTICLE I - SCOPE OF AGREEMENT 
 As a condition
precedent to the SBA’s obligations under this Contract, the Company, an Authorized Insurer or an entity writing Covered Policies under Section 627.351, Florida Statutes, in the State of Florida, shall report to the SBA in a specified
format the business it writes which is described in this Contract as Covered Policies. 
 The terms of this Contract shall determine the rights and
obligations of the parties. This Contract provides reimbursement to the Company under certain circumstances, as described herein, and does not provide or extend insurance or reinsurance coverage to any person, firm, corporation or other entity. The
SBA shall reimburse the Company for its Ultimate Net Loss on Covered Policies in excess of the 

  

					
		 	1	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 
Company’s Retention as a result of each Loss Occurrence commencing during the Contract Year, to the extent funds are available, all as hereinafter
defined. 
 ARTICLE II - PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT 
 This
Contract is solely between the Company and the SBA which administers the FHCF. In no instance shall any insured of the Company or any claimant against an insured of the Company, or any other third party, have any rights under this Contract, except
as provided in Article XIV. The SBA will only disburse funds to the Company, except as provided for in Article XIV of this Contract. The Company shall not, without the prior approval of the Office of Insurance Regulation, sell, assign, or transfer
to any third party, in return for a fee or other consideration any sums the FHCF pays under this Contract or the right to receive such sums. 
 ARTICLE
III - TERM 
 This Contract shall apply-to Loss Occurrences which commence during the period from 12:00:01 a.m., Eastern Time, June 1, 2008, to 12:00
midnight Eastern Time, May 31, 2009 (Contract Year). 
 The Company must designate a coverage level, make the required selections, and return this fully
executed Contract (two originals) to the FHCF Administrator so that the Contract is received by the FHCF Administrator no later than 5 p.m., Central Time, June 1, 2008. Failure to do so may result in a referral to the Office of Insurance
Regulation within the Department of Financial Services for administrative action. Furthermore, the Company’s coverage level under this Contract will be deemed as follows: 
  

	(1)	For Companies that are a member of a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) group, the same coverage level selected by the other Companies of the same NAIC group
shall be deemed. If executed Contracts for none of the members of an NAIC group have been received by the FHCF Administrator, the coverage level from the prior Contract Year shall be deemed. 

  

	(2)	For Companies that are not a member of an NAIC group under which other Companies are active participants in the FHCF, the coverage level from the prior Contract Year shall be
deemed. 

  

	(3)	For New Participants, as that term is defined in Article V(21), that are a member of an NAIC group, the same coverage level selected by the other Companies of the same NAIC group
shall be deemed. 

  

	(4)	For New Participants that are not a member of an NAIC group under which, other Companies are active participants in the FHCF, the 45%, 75% or 90% coverage levels may be selected
providing that the FHCF Administrator receives executed Contracts within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the first Covered Policy, otherwise, the 45% coverage level shall be deemed. 

 Pursuant to the terms of this Contract, the SBA shall not be liable for Loss Occurrences which commence after the effective time and date of expiration or termination.
Should this Contract expire or terminate while a Loss Occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, the SBA shall be responsible for such Loss Occurrence in progress in the same manner and to the same extent it would have been responsible had the
Contract expired the day following the conclusion of the Loss Occurrence in progress. 
 ARTICLE IV - LIABILITY OF THE FHCF 
  

	(1)	The SBA shall reimburse the Company, with respect to each Loss Occurrence commencing during the Contract Year for the “Reimbursement Percentage” elected, this percentage
times the amount of Ultimate Net Loss paid by the Company in excess of the Company’s Retention, as adjusted pursuant to Article V(28), plus 5% of the reimbursed losses for Loss Adjustment Expense Reimbursement. 

  

	(2)	The Reimbursement Percentage will be 45% or 75% or 90%, at the Company’s option as elected under Article XVIII.

	(3)	The aggregate liability of the FHCF with respect to all Reimbursement Contracts covering this Contract Year shall not exceed the limit set forth under Section 215.555(4)(c)1.,
Florida Statutes. For specifics regarding loss reimbursement calculations, see section (3)(c) of Article X herein. 

  

	(4)	Upon the occurrence of a Covered Event, the SBA shall evaluate the potential losses to the FHCF and the FHCF’s capacity at the time of the event. The initial Projected Payout
Multiple used to reimburse the Company for its losses shall not exceed the Projected Payout Multiple as calculated based on the capacity needed to provide the FHCF’s mandatory coverage. The SBA shall make adjustments to the Projected Payout
Multiple in order to reimburse the optional coverage based on the SBA’s ongoing evaluation of potential losses and capacity. 

  

	(5)	Reimbursement amounts shall not be reduced by reinsurance paid or payable to the Company from other sources. 

  

	(6)	After the end of the calendar year, the SBA shall notify insurers of the estimated Borrowing Capacity and the Balance of the Fund as of December 31. In May and October of each
year, the SBA shall publish in the Florida Administrative Weekly a statement of the FHCF’s estimated Borrowing Capacity and the projected Balance of the Fund as of December 31. 

  

	(7)	The obligation of the SBA with respect to all Contracts covering a particular Contract Year shall not exceed the Balance of the Fund as of December 31 of that Contract Year,
together with the maximum amount the SBA is able to raise through the issuance of revenue bonds or other means available to the SBA under Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, up to the limit in accordance with Section 215.555(4)(c)1.,
Florida Statutes. The obligations and the liability of the SBA are more fully described in Rule 19-8.013, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).

real or personal property located in the State of Florida to the extent such policy insures a Residential Structure, as defined in definition (27) herein, or the contents of a Residential Structure, located in the State of Florida.

interest, in an amount at least equal to the coverage for the dwelling in place under the lapsed homeowner’s policy, if such policy can be accurately reported as required in Section 215.555(5), Florida Statutes. A Company will be deemed to
be able to accurately report data if the required data, as specified in the Premium Formula adopted in Section 215.555(5), Florida Statutes, is available.

this Contract, means a policy that provides insurance protection for large commercial property risks that provides a layer of coverage above a primary layer (which is insured by a different insurer) that acts much the same as a very large

 These terms mean the amount of assets available to pay claims, not including any bonding proceeds, resulting from Covered Events which occurred during the Contract Year.

 For purposes of the coverage option
election in Section 215.555(4)(b), Florida Statutes, Insurer Group means the group designation assigned by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) for purposes of filing consolidated financial statements. A Company is a

individual insured losses incurred under Covered Policies resulting from the same Covered Event. “Losses” means direct incurred losses under Covered Policies and excludes Loss Adjustment Expenses.

each Company. 

  

	(21)	New Participant(s) 

 This term means all Companies
which begin writing Covered Policies on or after the beginning of the Contract Year. A Company that removes exposure from either Citizens entity, as that term is defined in (7) above, pursuant to an assumption agreement effective on or after

	(23)	Payout Multiple

billed as of December 31 of the Contract Year. The find Payout Multiple is determined once Reimbursement Premiums have been billed as of December 31 and the amount of bond proceeds has been determined. 
  

	(24)	Premium 

 This term means the same as Reimbursement
Premium. 
  

	(25)	Projected Payout Multiple 

 The Projected Payout
Multiple is used to calculate a Company’s projected payout pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(d)2., Florida Statutes. The Projected Payout Multiple is derived by dividing the estimated single season Claims-Paying Capacity of the FHCF by the
estimated total aggregate industry Reimbursement Premium for the FHCF for the Contract Year. The Company’s Reimbursement Premium as paid to the SBA for the Contract Year is multiplied by the Projected Payout Multiple to estimate the
Company’s coverage from the FHCF for the Contract Year.

	(26)	Reimbursement Premium

	(27)	Residential Structures 

 This term means dwelling
units used as a home or residence, including the primary structure and appurtenant structures insured under the same policy and any other structures covered under endorsements associated with a policy covering a residential structure, the principal
function of which at the time of loss was as a primary or secondary residence. Covered Residential Structures do not include any structures listed under Article VI herein. 
  

	(28)	Retention 

 The Company’s Retention means the
amount of hurricane losses under Covered Policies which must be incurred by the Company before it is eligible for reimbursement from the FHCF. 
  

	 	(a)	When the Company experiences covered losses from one or two Covered Events during the Contract Year, the Company’s full Retention shall be applied to each of the Covered
Events. 

  

	 	(b)	When the Company experiences covered losses from more than two Covered Events during the Contract Year, the Company’s full Retention shall be applied to each of the two Covered
Events causing the largest covered losses for the Company. For each other Covered Event resulting in covered losses, the Company’s Retention shall be reduced to one-third of its full Retention and applied to all other Covered Events.

  

	 	1.	All reimbursement of covered losses for each Covered Event shall be based on the Company’s full Retention until January 1 of the Contract Year. Adjustments to reflect a
reduction to one-third of the full Retention shall be made as soon as practicable after January 1 of the Contract Year provided the Company reports its losses as specified in this Contract. 

  

	 	2.	Adjustments to the Company’s Retention shall be based upon its paid and outstanding losses as reported on the Company’s Proof of Loss Reports but shall not include
incurred but not reported losses. The Company’s Proof of Loss Reports shall be used to determine which Covered Events constitute the Company’s two largest Covered Events, and the reduction to one-third of the full Retention shall be
applied to all other Covered Events for the Contract Year. After this initial determination, any subsequent adjustments shall be made by the SBA only if the quarterly loss reports reveal that loss development patterns have resulted in a change in
the order of Covered Events entitled to the reduction to one-third of the full Retention. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company’s full Retention is established in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and shall be determined by multiplying the
Retention Multiple by the Company’s Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year. 

  

	 	(d)	Once the Company’s limit of coverage has been exhausted, the Company will not be entitled to further reimbursements. 

  

	(29)	Retention Multiple 

  

	 	(a)	The Retention Multiple is applied to the Company’s Reimbursement Premium to determine the Company’s Retention. The Retention Multiple for the 2008/2009 Contract Year shall
be equal to $4.5 billion, adjusted based upon the reported exposure for the 2007/2008 Contract Year to reflect the percentage growth in exposure to the FHCF since 2004, divided by the estimated total industry Reimbursement Premium at the 90%
reimbursement percentage level for the Contract Year as determined by the SBA. 

  

	 	(b)	The Retention Multiple as determined under (29)(a) above shall be adjusted to reflect the reimbursement percentage elected by the Company under this Contract as follows:

  

	 	1.	If the Company elects a 90% reimbursement percentage, the adjusted Retention Multiple is 100% of the amount determined under (29)(a) above; 

  

					
		 	6	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	2.	If the Company elects a 75% reimbursement percentage, the adjusted Retention Multiple is 120% of the amount determined under (29)(a) above; or 

  

	 	3.	If the Company elects a 45% reimbursement percentage, the adjusted Retention Multiple is 200% of the amount determined under (29)(a) above. 

  

	(30)	Ultimate Net Loss 

  

	 	(a)	This term means all losses of the Company under Covered Policies, prior to the application of the Company’s FHCF Retention, as defined under (28) above, and reimbursement
percentage, and excluding loss adjustment expense, arising from each Loss Occurrence during the Contract Year, provided, however, that the Company’s loss shall be determined in accordance with the deductible level written under the policy
sustaining the loss. 

  

	 	(b)	Salvages and all other recoveries, excluding reinsurance recoveries, shall be first deducted from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder.

  

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

  

	 	(d)	Nothing in this clause shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained.

  

	 	(e)	The SBA shall be subrogated to the rights of the Company to the extent of its reimbursement of the Company. The Company agrees to assist and cooperate with the SBA in all respects
as regards such subrogation. The Company further agrees to undertake such actions as may be necessary to enforce its rights of salvage and subrogation, and its rights, if any, against other insurers as respects any claim, loss, or payment arising
out of a Covered Event.

		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 ARTICLE VIII - LOSS REIMBURSEMENT ADJUSTMENTS 
  

	(1)	Offsets 

 The SBA reserves the right to offset
amounts payable to the SBA from the Company, including amounts payable under previous Contract Years, against any reimbursement or advance amounts due and payable to the Company from the SBA as a result of the liability of the SBA. 
  

	(2)	Reimbursement Adjustments 

 Section 215.555(4)(d) and (e), Florida Statutes, provides the SBA with the right to seek the return of excess loss reimbursements which have been paid to the Company along with interest thereon. Excess loss reimbursements are those
payments made to the Company by the SBA that are in excess of the Company’s coverage under the Contract Year. Excess loss reimbursements may result from adjustments to the Projected Payout Multiple or the Payout Multiple, incorrect exposure
(Data Call) submissions or resubmissions, incorrect calculations of Reimbursement Premiums or Retentions, incorrect Proof of Loss Reports, incorrect calculation of reinsurance recoveries, or subsequent readjustment of policyholder claims, including
subrogation and salvage, or any combination of the foregoing. The Company will be sent an invoice showing the due date for adjustments along with the interest due thereon through the due date. The applicable interest rate for interest credits, and
for interest charges for adjustments beyond the Company’s control, will be the average rate earned by the SBA for the FHCF for the first five months of the Contract Year. The applicable interest rate for interest charges due to adjustments
resulting from incorrect exposure submissions or Proof of Loss Reports will accrue at this rate plus 5%. However, in recognition that the SBA’s loss examination process for a particular Contract Year may span several years, and to
eliminate the disparity between Companies scheduled for loss examinations throughout a multi-year process, the interest rate applicable to reimbursement adjustments resulting from loss reimbursement examinations shall not include the additional 5%.
All interest will continue to accrue if not paid by the due date. 
 ARTICLE IX - REIMBURSEMENT PREMIUM 
  

	(1)	The Company shall, in a timely manner, pay the SBA its Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year. The Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, with any rules promulgated thereunder, and with Article X(2). 

  

	(2)	Since the calculation of the Actuarially Indicated Premium assumes that the Companies will pay their Reimbursement Premiums timely, interest charges will accrue under the following
circumstances. A Company may choose to estimate its own Premium installments. However, if the Company’s estimation is less than the provisional Premium billed, an interest charge will accrue on the difference between the estimated Premium and
the final Premium. If a Company estimates its first installment, the Administrator shall bill that estimated Premium as the second installment as well, which will be considered as an estimate by the Company. No interest will accrue regarding any
provisional Premium if paid as billed by the FHCF’s Administrator, except in the case of an estimated second installment as set forth in this Article. Also, if a Company makes an estimation that is higher than the provisional Premium billed but
is less than the final Premium, interest will not accrue. If the Premium payment is not received from a Company when it is due, an interest charge will accrue on a daily basis until the payment is received. Interest will also accrue on Premiums
resulting from submissions or resubmissions finalized after December 1 of the Contract Year. An interest credit will be applied for any Premium which is overpaid as either an estimate or as a provisional Premium. Interest shall not be credited
past December 1 of the Contract Year. The applicable interest rate for interest credits will be the average rate earned by the SBA for the FHCF for the first five months of the Contract Year. The applicable interest rate for interest charges
will accrue at this rate plus 5%.

 ARTICLE X - REPORTS AND REMITTANCES 
  

	(1)	Exposures 

  

	 	(a)	If the Company writes Covered Policies before June 1 of the Contract Year, the Company shall report to the SBA, unless otherwise provided in Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., no later
than the statutorily required date of September 1 of the Contract Year, by ZIP Code or other limited geographical area as specified by the SBA, its insured values under Covered Policies as of June 30 of the Contract Year as outlined in the
annual reporting of insured values form, FHCF- D1A (Data Call) adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., and other data or information in the format specified by the SBA. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Company first begins writing Covered Policies on or after June 1 but prior to December 1 of the Contract Year, the Company shall report to the SBA, no later than
March 1 of the Contract Year, by ZIP Code or other limited geographical area as specified by the SBA, its insured values under Covered Policies as of December 31 of the Contract Year as outlined in the Supplemental Instructions for New
Participants section of the Data Call adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., and other data or information in the format specified by the SBA. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Company first begins writing Covered Policies on or after December 1 but through and including May 31 of the Contract Year, the Company shall not report its
exposure data for the Contract Year to the SBA. 

  

	 	(d)	The requirement that a report is due on a certain date means that the report shall be in the physical possession of the FHCF’s Administrator in Minneapolis no later than 5 p.m.
on the due date. If the applicable due date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the actual due date will be the day immediately following the applicable due date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For purposes of the
timeliness of the submission, neither the United States Postal Service postmark nor a postage meter date is in any way determinative. Reports sent to the SBA in Tallahassee, Florida, win be returned to the sender. Reports not in the physical
possession of the FHCF’s Administrator by 5 p.m., Central Time, on the applicable due date are late. 

  

	 	(e)	Pursuant to the provisions of Section 215.557, Florida Statutes, the reports of insured values under Covered Policies by ZIP Code submitted to the SBA pursuant to
Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, are confidential and exempt from the provisions of Section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and Section 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. 

  

	(2)	Reimbursement Premium 

  

	 	(a)	If the Company writes Covered Policies before June 1 of the Contract Year, the Company shall pay the FHCF its Reimbursement Premium in installments due on or before
August 1, October 1, and December 1 of the Contract Year in amounts to be determined by the FHCF. However, if the Company’s Reimbursement Premium for the prior Contract Year was less than $5,000, the Company’s full
provisional Reimbursement Premium, in an amount equal to the Reimbursement Premium paid in the prior year, shall be due in full on or before August 1 of the Contract Year. The Company will be invoiced for amounts due, if any, beyond the
provisional Reimbursement Premium payment, on or before December 1 of the Contract Year. In addition, if control of the Company has been transferred through any legal or regulatory proceeding to a state regulator or court appointed receiver or
rehabilitator (referred to in the aggregate as “State action”), the full annual provisional Reimbursement Premium as billed and any outstanding balances will be due and payable on August 1, or the date that such State action occurs
after August 1 of the Contract Year. Such acceleration will not apply when the receiver or rehabilitator provides a letter of assurance to the FHF that the Company will have the resources to pay the premium in installments in accordance with
the contractual provisions. 

  

	 	(b)	A New Participant that first begins writing Covered Policies on or after June 1 but prior to December 1 of the Contract Year shall pay the FHCF a provisional Reimbursement
Premium of 

  

					
		 	10	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	 
$1,000 upon execution of this Contract. The Administrator shall calculate the Company’s actual Reimbursement Premium for the period based on its actual
exposure as of December 31 of the Contract Year, as reported on or before March 1. To recognize that New Participants have limited exposure during this period, the actual Premium as determined by processing the Company’s exposure data
shall then be divided in half, the provisional Premium shall be credited, and the resulting amount shall be the total Premium due for the Company for the remainder of the Contract Year. However, if that amount is less than $1,000, then the Company
shall pay $1,000. The Premium payment is due no later than May 1 of the Contract Year. The Company’s Retention and coverage will be determined based on the total Premium due as calculated above. 

  

	 	(c)	A New Participant that first begins writing Covered Policies on or after December 1 but through and including May 31 of the Contract Year shall pay the FHCF a
Reimbursement Premium of $1,000 upon execution of this Contract. 

  

	 	(d)	The requirement that the Reimbursement Premium is due on a certain date means that the Premium shall be in the physical possession of the FHCF no later than 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on
the due date applicable to the particular installment. If remitted by check to the FHCF’s Post Office Box, the check shall be physically in the Post Office Box 550261, Tampa, FL 33655-0261, as set out on the invoice sent to the Company. If
remitted by check by hand delivery, the check shall be physically on the premises of the FHCF’s bank in Tampa, Florida, as set out on the invoice sent to the Company. If remitted electronically, the wire transfer shall have been completed to
the FHCF’s account at its bank in Tampa, Florida, as set out on the invoice sent to the Company. If the applicable due date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the actual due date will be the day immediately following the applicable
due date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For purposes of the timeliness of the remittance, neither the United States Postal Service postmark nor a postage meter date is in any way determinative. Premium checks sent to the SBA in
Tallahassee, Florida, or to the FHCF’s Administrator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will be returned to the sender. Reimbursement Premiums not in the physical possession of the FHCF by 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on the applicable due date are late.

  

	 	(e)	Except as required by Section 215.555(7)(c), Florida Statutes, or as described in the following sentence, Reimbursement Premiums, together with earnings thereon, received in a
given Contract Year will be used only to pay for losses attributable to Covered Events occurring in that Contract Year or for losses attributable to Covered Events in subsequent Contract Years and will not be used to pay for past losses or for debt
service on revenue bonds. Pursuant to Section 215.555(6)(a)l., Florida Statutes, Reimbursement Premiums and earnings thereon may be used for payments relating to revenue bonds in the event Emergency Assessments are insufficient. If Reimbursement
Premiums or earnings thereon are used for debt service on revenue bonds, then the amount of the Reimbursement Premiums or earnings thereon so used shall be returned, without interest, to the Fund when Emergency Assessments or other legally available
funds remain available after making payment relating to the revenue bonds and any other purposes for which Emergency Assessments were levied. 

  

	(3)	Claims and Losses 

  

	 	(a)	In General 

  

	 	1.	Claims and losses resulting from Loss Occurrences commencing during the Contract Year shall be reported by the Company and reimbursed by the FHCF as provided herein and in
accordance with the Statute, this Contract, and any rules adopted pursuant to the Statute. For a Company participating in a quota share primary insurance agreement(s) with Citizens Property Insurance Corporation High Risk Account, Citizens and the
Company shall report only their respective portion of losses under the quota share primary insurance agreement(s). Pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(c), Florida Statutes, the SBA is obligated to pay for losses not to exceed the Actual
Claims-Paying Capacity of the FHCF, up to the limit in accordance with Section 215.555(4)(c)1., Florida Statutes, for any one Contract Year. 

  

					
		 	11	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	2.	If the Company is in non-compliance with Section 215.555, Florida Statutes for any Contract Year, including deadlines for sending in Contracts, addendums or attachments to
Contracts, Data Call submissions or resubmissions, loss reports, or in responding to SBA exam requirements, the SBA reserves the right to withhold reimbursements or advances until such time the Company becomes compliant. 

  

	 	(b)	Loss Reports 

  

	 	1.	At the direction of the SBA, the Company shall report its projected Ultimate Net Loss from each Loss Occurrence to provide information to the SBA in determining any potential
liability for possible reimbursable losses under the Contract on the Interim Loss Report, Form FHCF-L1A, adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C. Interim Loss Reports (including subsequent Interim Loss Reports if required by the
SBA) will be due in no less than fourteen days from the date of the notice from the SBA that such a report is required. 

  

	 	2.	FHCF loss reimbursements will be issued based on Ultimate Net Loss information reported by the Company on the Proof of Loss Report, Form FHCF-L1B, adopted for the Contract Year
under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C. To qualify for reimbursement, the Proof of Loss Report must have the original signatures of two executive officers authorized by the Company to sign the report. The Company must also submit a detailed claims
listing (as outlined on the Proof of Loss Report) at the same time it submits its first Proof of Loss Report for a specific Covered Event that qualifies the Company for reimbursement under that Covered Event, and should be prepared to supply a
detailed claims listing for any subsequent Proof of Loss Report upon request. While a Company may submit a Proof of Loss Report requesting reimbursement at any time following a Loss Occurrence, all Companies shall submit a mandatory Proof of Loss
Report for each Loss Occurrence no earlier than December 1 and no later than December 31 of the Contract Year during which the Covered Event(s) occurs using the most current data available, regardless of the amount of Ultimate Net Loss or
the amount of loss reimbursements or advances already received. Reports may be faxed only if the Company does not qualify for a reimbursement. 

  

	 	3.	Updated Proof of Loss Reports for each Loss Occurrence are due quarterly thereafter until all claims and losses resulting from a Loss Occurrence are fully discharged including any
adjustments to such losses due to salvage or other recoveries, or the Company has received its full coverage under the Contract Year in which the Loss Occurrence(s) occurred, in accordance with the following guidelines: 

  

	 	a.	For quarterly Proof of Loss Reports due by 3/31, an insurer whose losses exceed 50% of its FHCF Retention for a specific Loss Occurrence shall submit a Proof of Loss Report.

  

	 	b.	For quarterly Proof of Loss Reports due by 6/30, an insurer whose losses exceed 75% of its FHCF Retention for a specific Loss Occurrence shall submit a Proof of Loss Report.

  

	 	c.	For quarterly Proof of Loss Reports due by 9/30 and thereafter, an insurer whose losses exceed its FHCF Retention for a specific Loss Occurrence shall submit a Proof of Loss Report.

 If the Company’s Retention must be recalculated as the result of an exposure resubmission, and if the recalculated
Retention changes the FHCF’s reimbursement obligations, then the Company shall submit additional Proof of Loss Reports for recalculation of the FHCF’s obligations. 
  

	 	4.	 Annually thereafter, those Companies which received their full coverage under the Contract Year in which the Loss Occurrence(s) occurred shall submit a mandatory
year-end Proof of Loss Report for each Loss Occurrence, as applicable, using the most current data available. This Proof of Loss Report shall be filed no earlier than December 1 and no later than December 31 of each year and shall continue
until the earlier of the expiration of the commutation period described in (3)(d) below or until all claims and losses resulting from 

  

					
		 	12	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	 
the Loss Occurrence are fully discharged including any adjustments to such losses due to salvage or other recoveries. 

  

	 	5.	The SBA, except as noted below, will determine and pay, within 30 days or as soon as practicable after receiving Proof of Loss Reports, the reimbursement amount due based on losses
paid by the Company to date and adjustments to this amount based on subsequent quarterly information. The adjustments to reimbursement amounts shall require the SBA to pay, or the Company to return, amounts reflecting the most recent determination
of losses. 

  

	 	a.	The SBA shall have the right to consult with all relevant regulatory agencies to seek all relevant information, and shall consider any other factors deemed relevant, prior to the
issuance of reimbursements. 

  

	 	b.	The SBA shall require commercial self-insurance funds established under Section 624.462, Florida Statutes, to submit contractor receipts to support paid losses reported on a Proof
of Loss Report, and the SBA may hire an independent consultant to confirm losses, prior to the issuance of reimbursements. 

  

	 	c.	The SBA shall have the right to conduct a claims examination prior to the issuance of any advances or reimbursements submitted by Companies that have been placed under regulatory
supervision by a State or where control has been transferred through any legal or regulatory proceeding to a state regulator or court appointed receiver or rehabilitator. 

  

	 	6.	If a Covered Event occurs during the Contract Year, but after December 31, at the direction of the SBA, Companies shall file an Interim Loss Report within 30 days after the
Covered Event and Proof of Loss Reports quarterly thereafter. Subparagraphs 2-5 above regarding Proof of Loss Reports shall apply. 

  

	 	7.	All Proof of Loss Reports received will be compared with the FHCF’s exposure data to establish the facial reasonableness of the reports. The SBA may also review the results of
current and prior Contract Year exposure and loss examinations to determine the reasonableness of the reported losses. Except as noted in paragraph 4. above, Companies meeting these tests for reasonableness will be scheduled for reimbursement.
Companies not meeting these tests for reasonableness will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will be contacted to provide specific information regarding their individual book of business. The discovery of errors in a Company’s reported
exposure under the Data Call may require a resubmission of the current Contract Year Data Call which, as the Data Call impacts the Company’s premium, retention, and coverage for the Contract Year, will be required before the Company’s
request for reimbursement or an advance will be fully processed by the Administrator. 

  

	 	(c)	Loss Reimbursement Calculations 

  

	 	1.	In general, the Company’s paid Ultimate Net Losses must exceed its full FHCF Retention for a specific Covered Event before any reimbursement is payable from the FHCF for that
Covered Event. As described in Article V(28), Retention adjustments will be made after January 1 of the Contract Year. No interest is payable on additional payments to the Company due to this type of Retention adjustment. Each Company
sustaining reimbursable losses will receive the amount of reimbursement due under the Contract up to the amount of the Company’s payout. If more than one Covered Event occurs in any one Contract Year, any reimbursements due from the FHCF shall
take into account the Company’s Retention for each Covered Event. However, the Company’s reimbursements from the FHCF for all Covered Events occurring during the Contract Year shall not exceed, in aggregate, the Projected Payout Multiple
or Payout Multiple, as applicable, times the individual Company’s Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year. 

  

	 	2.	 In determining reimbursements under this Contract, the SBA shall reimburse each of the Companies, including entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6),
Florida Statutes, for the amount (if any) of reimbursement due under the individual Company’s Contract, but not 

  

					
		 	13	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	 
to exceed for all Loss Occurrences, an amount equal to the Projected Payout Multiple or the Payout Multiple, as applicable, times the individual
Company’s Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year. 

  

	 	3.	Reserve established. When a Covered Event occurs in a subsequent Contract Year when reimbursable losses are still being paid for a Covered Event in a previous Contract Year, the SBA
will establish a reserve for the outstanding reimbursable losses for the previous Contract Year, based on the length of time the losses have been outstanding, the amount of losses already paid, the percentage of incurred losses still unpaid, and any
other factors specific to the loss development of the Covered Events involved. 

  

	 	(d)	Commutation 

  

	 	1.	Not less than 36 months or more than 60 months after the end of the Contract Year, the Company shall report to the FHCF all claims and losses, both reported and unreported, for the
Contract Year which are not finally settled and which may be reimbursable losses under this Contract. The Company and the SBA or their respective representatives shall attempt, by mutual agreement, to determine the capitalized value of all claims
and losses, both reported and unreported, resulting from Loss Occurrences commencing during the Contract Year, and the Company shall provide the SBA with a copy of a written opinion on such capitalized value by the Company’s certifying actuary.
Payment by the SBA of its portion of any amount or amounts so mutually agreed and certified by the Company’s certifying actuary shall constitute a complete and final release of the SBA in respect of all claims and losses, both reported and
unreported, under this Contract. 

  

	 	2.	If agreement on capitalized value cannot be reached within 60 days after the Company reports its claims and losses to the FHCF, the Company and the SBA may mutually appoint an
actuary or appraiser to investigate, determine and capitalize such claims or losses. If both parties then agree, the SBA shall pay its portion of the amount so determined to be the capitalized value of such claims or losses.

  

	 	3.	If the parties fail to agree, then any difference shall be settled by a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen. If either party
does not appoint an actuary within 30 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall
decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. All the actuaries shall be regularly engaged in the valuation of property claims and losses and shall be members of the Casualty Actuarial Society and of the American Academy of Actuaries.
None of the actuaries shall be under the control of either party to this Contract. Each party shall submit its case to its actuary within 30 days of the appointment of the third actuary. The decision in writing of any two actuaries, when filed with
the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties. 

  

	 	4.	The reasonable and customary expense of the actuaries and of the commutation (as a result of 2. and 3. above) shall be equally divided between the two parties. Said commutation
shall take place in Tallahassee, Florida, unless some other place is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the SBA. 

  

	(4)	Advances 

  

	 	(a)	 In accordance with Section 215.555(4)(e), Florida Statutes, the SBA may make advances for loss reimbursements as defined herein, at market interest rates, to
the Company in accordance with Section 215.555(4)(e), Florida Statutes. An advance is an early reimbursement which allows the Company to continue to pay claims in a timely manner. Advances will be made based on the Company’s paid and
reported outstanding losses for Covered Policies (excluding all incurred but not reported [IBNR] losses) as reported on a Proof of Loss Report, and shall include Loss Adjustment Expense Reimbursement as calculated by the FHCF. In order to be
eligible for an advance, the Company must submit its exposure data for the Contract Year as required under paragraph (1) of this Article. Except as noted below, advances, if approved, will 

  

					
		 	14	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	 
be made as soon as practicable after the SBA receives a written request, signed by two officers of the Company, for an advance of a specific amount and any
other information required for the specific type of advance under subparagraphs (c) and (e) below. All reimbursements due to a Company shall be offset against any amount of outstanding advances plus the interest due thereon.

  

	 	(b)	For advances or excess advances, which are advances that are in excess of the amount to which the Company is entitled, the market interest rate shall be the prime rate as published
in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the Contract Year. This rate will be adjusted annually on the first business day of each subsequent Contract Year, regardless of whether the Company executes subsequent Contracts. All interest
charged will commence on the date the SBA issues a check for an advance and will cease on the date upon which the FHCF has received the Company’s Proof of Loss Report(s) for the Covered Event(s) for which the Company qualifies for
reimbursement(s). If such reimbursement(s) are less than the amount of outstanding advance(s) issued to the Company, interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding balance of the advance(s) until subsequent Proof of Loss Reports qualify the
Company for reimbursement under any Covered Event equal to or exceeding the amount of any outstanding advance(s). Interest shall be billed on a periodic basis. If it is determined that the Company received funds in excess of those to which it was
entitled, the interest as to those sums will not cease on the date of the receipt of the Proof of Loss Report but will continue until the Company reimburses the FHCF for the overpayment. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Company has an outstanding advance balance as of December 31 of this or any other Contract Year, the Company is required to have an actuary certify outstanding and
incurred but not reported losses as reported on the applicable December Proof of Loss Report. 

  

	 	(d)	The specific type of advances enumerated in the Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, follow. 

  

	 	1.	Advances to Companies to prevent insolvency, as defined under Article XIV of this Contract. 

  

	 	a.	Section 215.555(4)(e)1., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA shall advance to the Company amounts necessary to maintain the solvency of the Company, up to 50 percent of the
SBA’s estimate of the reimbursement due to the Company. 

  

	 	b.	In addition to the requirements outlined in subparagraph (4)(a) above, the requirements for an advance to a Company to prevent insolvency are that the Company demonstrates it
is likely to qualify for reimbursement and that the immediate receipt of moneys from the SBA is likely to prevent the Company from becoming insolvent, and the Company provides the following information: 

  

	 	i.	Current assets; 

  

	 	ii.	Current liabilities other than liabilities due to the Covered Event; 

  

	 	iii.	Current surplus as to policyholders; 

  

	 	iv.	Estimate of other expected liabilities not due to the Covered Event; and 

  

	 	v.	Amount of reinsurance available to pay claims for the Covered Event under other reinsurance treaties. 

  

	 	c.	The SBA’s final decision regarding an application for an advance to prevent insolvency shall be based on whether or not, considering the totality of the circumstances,
including the SBA’s obligations to provide reimbursement for all Covered Events occurring during the Contract Year, granting an advance is essential to allowing the entity to continue to pay additional claims for a Covered Event in a timely
manner. 

  

	 	2.	Advances to entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes. 

  

	 	a.	Section 215.555(4)(e)2., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA may advance to an entity created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes, up to 90% of the lesser
of the SBA’s estimate of the reimbursement due or the entity’s share of the actual aggregate Reimbursement Premium for that Contract Year, multiplied by the current available liquid assets of the FHCF. 

  

					
		 	15	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	b.	In addition to the requirements outlined in subparagraph (4)(a) above, the requirements for an advance to entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes
are that the entity must demonstrate to the SBA that the advance is essential to allow the entity to pay claims for a Covered Event. 

  

	 	3.	Advances to limited apportionment companies. 

 Section 215.555(4)(e)3., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA may advance the amount of estimated reimbursement payable to limited apportionment companies. 
  

	 	(e)	In determining whether or not to grant an advance and the amount of an advance, the SBA: 

  

	 	1.	Shall determine whether its assets available for the payment of obligations are sufficient and sufficiently liquid to fulfill its obligations to other Companies prior to granting an
advance; 

  

	 	2.	Shall review and consider all the information submitted by such Companies; 

  

	 	3.	Shall review such Companies’ compliance with all requirements of Section 215.555, Florida Statutes; 

  

	 	4.	Shall consult with all relevant regulatory agencies to seek all relevant information; 

  

	 	5.	Shall review the damage caused by the Covered Event and when that Covered Event occurred; 

  

	 	6.	Shall consider whether the Company has substantially exhausted amounts previously advanced; and 

  

	 	7.	Shall consider any other factors deemed relevant. 

  

	 	8.	Shall require commercial self-insurance funds established under section 624.462, Florida Statutes, to submit a copy of written estimates of expenses in support of the amount of
advance requested. 

  

	 	 (f)
	 Any amount advanced by the SBA shall be used by the Company only to pay claims of its policyholders for the Covered
Event or Covered Events which have precipitated the immediate need to continue to pay additional claims as they become due. 

  

	(5)	Delinquent Premium Payments 

 Failure to submit a
Premium or Premium installment when due is a violation of the terms of this Contract and Section 215.555, Florida Statutes. Interest on late payments shall be due as set forth in Article IX(2) of this Contract. 
  

	(6)	Inadequate Data Submissions 

 If exposure data or
other information required to be reported by the Company under the terms of this Contract is not received by the FHCF in the format specified by the FHCF and is inadequate to the extent that the FHCF requires resubmission of data, the Company will
be required to pay the FHCF a resubmission fee of $1,000 for resubmissions that are not a result of an examination by the SBA. If a resubmission is necessary as a result of an examination report issued by the SBA, the first resubmission fee will be
$2,000. If the Company’s examination-required resubmission is inadequate and the SBA requires an additional resubmission(s), the resubmission fee for each subsequent resubmission shall be $2,000. A resubmission of exposure data may delay the
processing of the Company’s request for reimbursement or an advance. 
  

	(7)	Delinquent Submissions 

 Failure to submit an
exposure submission or resubmission, or loss reports, when due is a violation of the terms of this Contract and Section 215.555, Florida Statutes. 
 ARTICLE XI - TAXES 
 In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company agrees to make no deduction in respect of
the Premium herein when making premium tax returns to the appropriate authorities. Should any taxes be levied on the Company in respect of the Premium herein, the Company agrees to make no claim upon the SBA for reimbursement in respect of such
taxes. 
  

					
		 	16	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 ARTICLE XII - ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
 Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error on the part of the SBA shall not be held to relieve the Company from any liability which would attach to it hereunder if such delay, omission, or error had not been made.

 ARTICLE XIII - INSPECTION OF RECORDS 
 The Company
shall allow the SBA to inspect, examine, and verify, at reasonable times, all records of the Company relating to the Covered Policies under this Contract, including Company files concerning claims, losses, or legal proceedings regarding subrogation
or claims recoveries which involve this Contract, including premium, loss records and reports involving exposure data on Covered Policies. This right by the SBA to inspect, examine, and verify shall survive the completion and closure of an exposure
examination or loss examination file and the termination of the Contract. The Company shall have no right to re-open an exposure or loss reimbursement examination once closed and the findings have been accepted by the Company; any re-opening shall
be at the sole discretion of the SBA. If the FHCF Finance Corporation has issued revenue bonds and relied upon the exposure and loss data submitted and certified by the Company as accurate to determine the amount of bonding needed, the SBA may
choose not to require, or accept, a resubmission if the resubmission will result in additional reimbursements to the Company. All discovered errors, inadvertent omissions, and typographical errors associated with the data reporting of insured
values, discovered prior to the closing of the file and acceptance of the examination findings by the Company, shall be corrected to reflect the proper values. The Company shall retain its records in accordance with the requirements for records
retention regarding exposure reports and claims reports outlined herein, and in any administrative rules adopted pursuant to Section 215.555, Florida Statutes. Companies writing covered collateral protection policies, as defined in definition
(10)(d) of Article V herein, must be able to provide documentation that the policy covers personal residences, protects both the borrower’s and lender’s interest, and that the coverage is in an amount at least equal to the coverage
for the dwelling in place under the lapsed homeowner’s policy. 
  

	(I)	Examination Requirements for Exposure Verification 

 The Company shall retain complete and accurate records, in policy level detail, of all exposure data submitted to the SBA in any Contract Year until the SBA has completed its examination of the Company’s exposure submissions. The
Company shall also retain complete and accurate records of any completed exposure examination for any Contract Year in which the Company incurred losses until the completion of the loss reimbursement examination for that Contract Year. The records
to be retained shall include the exam file which supports the exposure reported to the SBA and any other information which would allow for a complete examination of the Company’s reported exposure data. The exam file shall be prepared according
to the SBA Exam File Specifications outlined in the Data Call. The Company must also have available, at the time of the examination, a copy of its underwriting manual, a copy of its rating manual, and staff to respond to the questions of the SBA or
its agents. The Company is also required to retain declarations pages and policy applications to support reported exposure. To meet the requirement that the application must be retained, the Company may retain either the actual application or may
retain the actual application in an electronic format. A complete list of records to be retained are set forth in Form FHCF-EAP1, adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.030, F.A.C. 
  

	(2)	Examination Requirements for Loss Reports 

 The
Company shall retain complete and accurate records of all reported losses and/or advances submitted to the SBA until the SBA has completed its examination of the Company’s reimbursable losses. The records to be retained are set forth as part of
the Proof of Loss Report, Form FHCF-LIB, adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., and Form FHCF-LAP1, adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.030, F.A.C. The Company must also retain the required exposure exam file for the
Contract Year in which the loss occurred, and must have available any other information which would allow for a complete examination of the Company’s losses. 
  

					
		 	17	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	(3)	Examination Procedures 

  

	 	(a)	The FHCF will send an examination notice to the Company providing the commencement date of the examination, the site of the examination, any accommodation requirements of the
examiner, and the reports and data which must be assembled by the Company and forwarded to the FHCF upon request. The Company shall be prepared to choose one location in which to be examined, unless otherwise specified by the SBA.

  

	 	(b)	The reports and data are required to be forwarded to the FHCF as set forth in an examination notice letter. The information is then forwarded to the examiner. If the FHCF receives
accurate and complete records as requested, the examiner will contact the Company to inform the Company as to what policies or other documentation will be required once the examiner is on site. Any records not required to be provided to the examiner
in advance shall be made available at the time the examiner arrives on site. Any records to support reported losses which are provided after the examiner has left the work-site will, at the SBA’s discretion, result in an additional examination
of exposure and/or loss records or an extension or expansion of the examination already in progress. All costs associated with such additional examination or with the extension or expansion of the original examination shall be borne by the Company.

  

	 	(c)	At the conclusion of the examiner’s work and the management review of the examiner’s report, findings, recommendations, and work papers, the FHCF will forward a
preliminary draft of the examination report to the Company and require a response from the Company by a date certain as to the examination findings and recommendations. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Company accepts the examination findings and recommendations, and there is no recommendation for resubmission of the Company’s exposure data, the examination report will
be finalized and the exam file closed. 

  

	 	(e)	If the Company disputes the examiner’s findings, the areas in dispute will be resolved by a meeting or a conference call between the Company and FHCF management.

  

	 	(f)	1.         The recommendation of a loss reimbursement examination could require the Company to resubmit or update its loss reports or
exposure data. 

  

	 	2.	If the recommendation of the examiner is to resubmit the Company’s exposure data for the Contract Year in question, then the FHCF will send the Company a letter outlining the
process for resubmission and including a deadline to resubmit. The resubmission will include a data file to be submitted to the FHCF’s Administrator and an exam file to be submitted to the offices of the SBA. The resubmission is also required
to be accompanied by a detailed written description of the specific changes made to the resubmitted data. Once the resubmission is received by the FHCF’s Administrator, the FHCF’s Administrator calculates a revised, Reimbursement Premium
for the Contract Year which has been examined. The SBA shall then review the resubmission with respect to the examiner’s findings, and accept the resubmission or contact the Company with any questions regarding the resubmission. Once the SBA
has accepted the resubmission as a sufficient response to the examiner’s findings, the FHCF’s Administrator will send the Company an invoice for any Reimbursement Premium and interest due or to refund Reimbursement Premium, as the case may
be. Once the resubmission has been approved, the exam file is closed. 

  

	 	3.	If the recommendation of the examiner is either to resubmit the Company’s exposure data for the Contract Year in question or giving the option to pay the estimated Premium
difference, then the FHCF will send the Company a letter outlining the process for resubmission or for paying the estimated Premium difference and including a deadline for the resubmission or the payment to be received by the FHCF’s
Administrator. If the Company chooses to resubmit, the same procedures outlined in Article XIII(3)(f)2. apply. 

  

	 	4.	 If the recommendation of the examiner is to update the Company’s Proof of Loss Report(s) for the Contract Year under review, the FHCF will send the Company a
letter outlining the process for submitting the Proof of Loss Report(s) and including a deadline to file. The 

  

					
		 	18	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

	 	 
updated Proof of Loss Report(s) will be submitted to the FHCF’s Administrator with a copy of the Proof of Loss Report(s) and a supporting detailed
claims listing to be submitted to the offices of the SBA. The report is required to be accompanied by a detailed written description of the specific changes made. Once the Proof of Loss Report(s) is received by the FHCF Administrator, the
FHCF’s Administrator will calculate a revised reimbursement. The SBA shall then review the submitted Proof of Loss Report(s) with respect to the examiner’s findings, and accept the Proof of Loss Report(s) as filed or contact the Company
with any questions. Once the SBA has accepted the corrected Proof of Loss Report(s) as a sufficient response to the examiner’s findings, the FHCF’s Administrator will send the Company an invoice for any overpayments and interest due or the
additional reimbursement owed the Company, as the case may be. Once the Proof of Loss Report(s) is approved, the exam file is closed. 

  

	 	(g)	If the Company continues to dispute the examiner’s findings and/or recommendations and no resolution of the disputed matters is obtained through discussions between the Company
and FHCF management, then the process within the SBA is at an end and further administrative remedies may be pursued under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. 

  

	 	(h)	The examiner’s list of errors is made available in the examination report sent to the Company. Given that the examination was based on a sample of the Company’s policies
or claims rather than the whole universe of the Company’s Covered Policies or reported claims, the error list is not intended to provide a complete list of errors but is intended to indicate what information needs to be reviewed and corrected
throughout the Company’s book of Covered Policy business or claims information to ensure more complete and accurate reporting to the FHCF. 

  

	(4)	Costs of the Examinations 

 The costs of the
examinations shall be borne by the SBA. However, in order to remove any incentive for a Company to delay preparations for an examination, the SBA shall be reimbursed by the Company for any examination expenses incurred in addition to the usual and
customary costs, which additional expenses were incurred as a result of the Company’s failure, despite proper notice, to be prepared for the examination or as a result of a Company’s failure to provide requested information. All requested
information must be complete and accurate. The Company shall be notified of any administrative remedies which may be obtained under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. 
 ARTICLE XIV - INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY 
 Company shall notify the FHCF immediately upon becoming insolvent. Except as otherwise provided
below, no covered loss reimbursements will be made until the FHCF has completed and closed its examination of the insolvent Company’s losses, unless an agreement is entered into by the court appointed receiver specifying that all data and
computer systems required for FHCF exposure and loss examinations will be maintained until completion of the Company’s exposure and loss examinations. Except as otherwise provided below, in order to account for potential erroneous reporting,
the SBA shall hold back 25% of requested loss reimbursements until the exposure and loss examinations for the Company are completed. Only those losses supported by the examination will be reimbursed. Pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(g), Florida
Statutes, the FHCF is required to pay the “net amount of all reimbursement moneys” due an insolvent insurer to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) for the benefit of Florida policyholders. For the purpose of this Contract, a
Company is insolvent when an order of liquidation with a finding of insolvency has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. In light of the need for an immediate infusion of funds to enable policyholders of insolvent companies to be paid
for their claims, the SBA may enter into agreements with FIGA allowing exposure and loss examinations to take place immediately without the usual notice and response time limitations and allowing the FHCF to make loss reimbursements (net of any
amounts payable to the SBA from the Company or FIGA) to FIGA before the examinations are completed and before the response time expires for claims filing by reinsurers and financial institutions, which have a priority interest in those funds 

  

					
		 	19	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 
pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(g), Florida Statutes. Such agreements must ensure the availability of the necessary records and adequate security must be
provided so that if the FHCF determines that it overpaid FIGA on behalf of the Company, or if claims are filed by reinsurers or financial institutions having a priority interest in these funds, that the funds will be repaid to the FHCF by FIGA with
in a reasonable time. 
 ARTICLE XV - TERMINATION 
 The
FHCF and the obligations of both parties under this Contract can be terminated only as may be provided by law or applicable rules. 
 ARTICLE XVI -
VIOLATIONS 
 Pursuant to the provisions of Section 215.555(10), Florida Statutes, any violation of the terms of this Contract by the Company
constitutes a violation of the Insurance Code of the State of the Florida. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 215.555(11), Florida Statutes, the SBA is authorized to take any action necessary to enforce any administrative rules adopted
pursuant to Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, and the provisions and requirements of this Contract. 
 ARTICLE XVII - APPLICABLE LAW 

 

	(1)	Applicable Law: This Contract shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Florida in respect of any matter relating to or arising out of this
Contract. 

  

	(2)	Notice of Rights: Pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, and the Uniform Rules of Procedure, codified as Chapters 28-101 through 28-111, F.A.C., a person whose
substantial interests are affected by a decision of the SBA regarding the FHCF may request a hearing within 21 days shall have waived his or her right to a hearing. The hearing may be a formal hearing or an informal hearing pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must be filed (received) in the office of the Agency Clerk, General Counsel’s Office, State Board of Administration of Florida, P.O. Box 13300, Tallahassee, FL 32317-3300
or 1801 Hermitage Blvd., Suite 100, Tallahassee, FL 32308, within the 21 day period.

 ARTICLE XVIII - REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT ELECTIONS 
 Reimbursement Percentage 
 For purposes of determining reimbursement
(if any) due the Company under this Contract and in accordance with the Statute, the Company has the option to elect a 45% or 75% or 90% reimbursement percentage under this Contract. If the Company is a member of an NAIC group, all members must
elect the same reimbursement percentage, and the individual executing this Contract on behalf of the Company, by placing his or her initials in the box under (a) below, affirms that the Company has elected the same reimbursement percentage as
all members of its NAIC group. If the Company is an entity created pursuant to Section 627.351, Florida Statutes, the Company must elect the 90% reimbursement percentage. The Company shall not be permitted to change its reimbursement percentage
during the Contract Year. The Company shall be permitted to change its reimbursement percentage at the beginning of a new Contract Year, but may not reduce its reimbursement percentage if a Covered Event required the issuance of revenue bonds, until
the bonds have been fully repaid. 
 IMPORTANT NOTE: The FHCF issued revenue bonds in July of 2006 as a result of its liabilities for Covered Events under
the Contract Year effective June 1, 2005. As those bonds have not been fully repaid, the Company may not select a Reimbursement Percentage that is less than its selection under the prior Contract Year effective June 1, 2007.

 The Reimbursement Percentage elected by the Company for the prior Contract Year effective June 1, 2007 was as follows: Homeowners Choice Property
and Casualty Insurance Company - 90% 
  

	(a)	NAIC Group Affirmation: Initial the following box if the Company is part of an NAIC Group: 

 

 
  

	(b)	Reimbursement Percentage Election: The Company hereby elects the following Reimbursement Percentage for the Contract Year from 12:00:01 a.m., Eastern Time, June 1, 2008,
to 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, May 31, 2009, (the individual executing this Contract on behalf of the Company shall place his or her initials in the box to the left of the percentage elected for the Company): 

 

 
 Reporting Exposure for a Single Structure, with a Mix of Commercial Habitational and Commercial Non-Habitational Exposure,
Written on a Commercial Policy 
 This section is applicable to all Companies which either have exposure for single structures with a mix of commercial
habitational and commercial non-habitational exposure written under a Commercial Policy, or have the authority to write such policies. If the Company does not have the authority to write this type of exposure, this section does not apply;
initial the N/A box on the next page, which completes this ARTICLE. If the Company does write, or has the authority to write, this type of exposure, please read and complete the remainder of this ARTICLE. 
  

					
		 	21	 	FHCF-2008K
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 Commercial-Residential Class Code 
 If a single structure is used for both habitational and non-habitational purposes and the structure has a commercial-residential class code (based on a classification plan on file with and reviewed by the
Administrator), the entire exposure for the structure should be reported to the FHCF under the Data Call, and the FHCF will reimburse losses for the entire structure as well. 
 Commercial Non-Residential/Business Class Code 
 If a single structure is used for both habitational and
non-habitational purposes and the structure has a commercial non-residential or business class code (based on a classification plan on file with and reviewed by the Administrator), the habitational portion of that structure should be identified and
reported to the FHCF under the Data Call. 
 However, in recognition of the unusual nature of commercial structures with incidental habitational exposure and
the hardship some companies may face in having to carve out such incidental habitational exposure, as well as the losses to such structures, the FHCF will accommodate these companies by allowing them to exclude the entire exposure for the single
structure from their Data Call submission, providing the following two conditions are met: 
  

	(1)	The decision to not carve out and report the incidental habitational exposure shall apply to all such structures insured by the Company; and 

  

	(2)	If the incidental habitational exposure is not reported to the FHCF, the Company agrees it shall not report losses to the structure and the FHCF shall not reimburse any losses to
the structure. 

 Initial the CARVING box below if the Company is able to carve out and report its incidental habitational exposure,
OR, if this requirement presents a hardship, the Company must communicate its decision to not carve out and to not report the incidental exposure by having the individual executing this Contract on behalf of the Company placing his or her
initials in the NOT CARVING box below. If the Company does not currently write such policies, but has the authority to write such policies after the start date of this Contract, the decision to carve or not carve out the incidental
habitational exposure must be indicated below. 
 

 
 By initialing the CARVING or NOT CARVING box above, the Company is making an irrevocable decision for the
corresponding Contract Year Data Call submission and any subsequent resubmissions. 
  

			
	Important Note:	  	Since this election will impact your Data Call submission, please share this decision with the individual(s) responsible for compiling your Data Call submission.

 Additional Living Expense (ALE) Written as Time Element Coverage 
 If your Company writes Covered Policies that provide ALE coverage on a time element basis (i.e. coverage is based on a specific period of time as opposed to a stated
dollar limit), you must initial the ‘Yes – Time Element ALE’ box below. If your Company does not write time element ALE coverage, initial ‘No – Time Element ALE’ box below.

 and 
 THE STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA (SBA) WHICH ADMINISTERS THE FLORIDA HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND (FHCF) 
 It is
Hereby Agreed, effective at 12:00:01 a.m., Eastern Time, June 1, 2008, that this Contract shall be amended as follows: 
 TEMPORARY EMERGENCY
OPTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL COVERAGE PURSUANT TO SECTION 215.555(16), FLORIDA STATUTES. 
 Pursuant to Section 215.555(16), Florida Statutes, the
Temporary Emergency Options for Additional Coverage (TEACO) provision allows the Company to select additional FHCF reimbursement coverage below its mandatory FHCF coverage layer under the Reimbursement Contract. The optional coverage provided in
this Addendum No. 1 expires on May 31, 2009. Coverage associated with TEACO shall otherwise be consistent with terms and conditions as relates to the Reimbursement Contract including, but not limited to, definitions, coverage for Covered
Policies as defined, exclusions, loss reporting, and examination procedures. To be eligible for this optional coverage, the Company must return a fully executed Addendum No. 1 (two originals) no later than 5 p.m., Central Time, June 1,
2008. New Participants, as defined in Article V of the Contract, must return a fully executed Addendum No. 1 (two 

  

					
		 	1	 	FHCF-2008K-1
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.

 
originals) within thirty days of writing its first Covered Policy and prior to a Loss Occurrence, as both terms are defined in Article V of the Contract,
under which the company would be eligible for reimbursements under the Contract. Any Company failing to meet the applicable deadline shall not be eligible for optional coverage under Addendum No. 1. 
 I. TEACO Coverage 
 The Company may purchase its
mandatory FHCF premium share of coverage underneath its FHCF retention in excess of one of three industry retention levels, which are specified as $3 billion, $4 billion, or $5 billion. The price for the layer of coverage below its mandatory FHCF
coverage is 75 cents for each dollar of coverage for the Company’s share of the layer associated with a $5 billion industry retention, 80 cents for each dollar of coverage for the Company’s share of the layer associated with the $4 billion
industry retention, or 85 cents for each dollar of coverage for the Company’s share of the layer of coverage associated with the $3 billion industry retention. The Company’s TEACO coverage shall be on an occurrence basis, and the premium
for coverage will include one reinstatement. The Company’s TEACO retention shall replace the Company’s mandatory FHCF retention when it selects a TEACO option. 
 The SBA shall reimburse the Company for 45 percent, 75 percent, or 90 percent of its losses from each Covered Event in excess of the Company’s TEACO retention, plus 5 percent of the reimbursed losses to cover
loss adjustment expense, limited in total to the amount of TEACO coverage purchased by the Company. The reimbursement percentage shall be the same as the coverage level selected by the Company under its Reimbursement Contract. The Company’s
maximum reimbursement under its TEACO option shall be its mandatory FHCF premium share of two times the difference between the industry retention calculated under Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and the $3 billion, $4 billion, or $5 billion
industry TEACO retention based on the Company’s selection of the TEACO option. 
 The full limit of the TEACO coverage purchased shall
apply only to each of the Company’s two largest Covered Events. The TEACO coverage does not apply to other Covered Events resulting in losses. 
 II.
TEACO Premium 
 The Company’s TEACO premium shall be calculated based on its share of the mandatory FHCF reimbursement premium.
Total TEACO premium shall be calculated based on the assumption that all insurers entering into Reimbursement Contracts also accepted the TEACO option: 
  

	 	A.	The industry TEACO premium associated with the $3 billion retention option would be equal to 85% of the difference for the coverage between the industry retention level calculated
under Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and the $3 billion industry TEACO retention level. 

  

	 	B.	The industry TEACO premium associated with the $4 billion retention option would be equal to 80% of the difference for the coverage between the industry retention level calculated
under Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and the $4 billion industry TEACO retention level. 

  

	 	C.	The industry TEACO premium associated with the $5 billion retention option would be equal to 75% of the difference for the coverage between the industry retention level calculated
under Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and the $5 billion industry TEACO retention level. 

  

					
		 	2	 	FHCF-2008K-1
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.

 The TEACO premium shall be due and payable in three installments on August 1, 2007, on October 1,
2007, and on December 1, 2007. 
 III. TEACO Retention 
 The TEACO retention is the amount of losses below which a TEACO Company is not entitled to reimbursement from the FHCF under the TEACO coverage option. 
 The TEACO retention multiple for each TEACO coverage option shall be calculated by dividing $3 billion, $4 billion, or $5 billion by the total estimated
mandatory FHCF reimbursement premium assuming all insurers selected the 90% coverage option. The TEACO retention multiple shall be used for determining an insurer’s retention if the insurer has selected a TEACO option. The TEACO retention
multiples outlined above shall be adjusted to reflect the coverage level selected by the Company under its Reimbursement Contract. For insurers electing the 90 percent coverage level, the adjusted retention multiple is 100 percent of the amount
determined under the preceding paragraph. For insurers electing the 75 percent coverage level, the adjusted retention multiple is 120 percent of the amount determined under the preceding paragraph. For insurers electing the 45 percent coverage
level, the adjusted retention multiple is 200 percent of the amount determined under the preceding paragraph. 
 IV. Liability of the FHCF 

The liability of the FHCF with respect to all TEACO addenda shall not exceed an amount equal to two times the difference between the industry retention
level calculated under Section 215.555(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and the $3 billion, $4 billion, or $5 billion industry TEACO retention level options actually selected, but in no event may the FHCF’s obligation exceed the actual
claims-paying capacity of the FHCF plus the additional TEACO capacity provided for under Section 215.555(16)(g), Florida Statutes. 
 The
additional capacity shall apply only to the additional coverage provided by the TEACO option and shall not otherwise affect any insurer’s reimbursement from the FHCF. 
 V. Coordination of Coverage 
 Reimbursement amounts under TEACO shall not be reduced by reinsurance
paid or payable to the Company from sources other than the FHCF. 
 The TEACO coverage shall be in addition to all other coverage provided by
the SBA under the Company’s Reimbursement Contract and shall be in addition to the claims-paying capacity of the FHCF as defined in Section 215.555(4)(c)1., Florida Statutes. 
 The TEACO coverage selected is irrevocable and shall not reduce, overlap, or duplicate coverage otherwise provided for in the Reimbursement Contract or
offset any co-payments.

 VI. Addendum No. 1 TEACO Coverage Election 
 ALL COMPANIES EXECUTING A REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT MUST INDICATE ITS TEACO COVERAGE PROVIDED BELOW THE FHCF RETENTION BY SELECTING ONE OF THREE TEACO
RETENTION LEVELS OR REJECT ALL SUCH COVERAGE. IF ADDENDUM NO. 1 IS RETURNED WITHOUT A TEACO RETENTION SELECTED, IT SHALL BE DEEMED BY THE STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION TO BE A CHOICE TO REJECT TEACO COVERAGE. 
 If your Company does not want to purchase any TEACO coverage, print “No Coverage” on the line below and initial the box. 
 

 
 If your company elects to purchase TEACO coverage, select a TEACO retention level option by initialing the
applicable box below.

 Pursuant to Section 215.555(17), Florida
Statutes, the Temporary Increase in Coverage Limit (TICL) Options provision allows the Company to select additional FHCF reimbursement coverage above its mandatory FHCF coverage layer under the Reimbursement Contract. The optional coverage
selections provided in this Addendum No. 2 expires on May 31, 2009. Coverage provided under TICL shall otherwise be consistent with terms and conditions as relates to the Reimbursement Contract including, but not limited to, definitions,
coverage for Covered Policies as defined, exclusions, loss reporting, and examination procedures. 
 To be eligible for this optional coverage, the Company
must return a fully executed Addendum No. 2 (two originals) no later than 5 p.m., Central Time, June 1, 2008. New Participants, as 

  

					
		 	1	 	FHCF-2008K-2
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.

 
defined in Article V of the Contract, must return a fully executed Addendum No. 2 (two originals) within thirty days of writing its first Covered Policy
and prior to a Loss Occurrence, as both terms are defined in Article V of the Contract, under which the company would be eligible for reimbursements under the Contract. Any Company failing to meet the applicable deadline shall not be eligible for
optional coverage under Addendum No. 2. 
 I. TICL Coverage 
 The Company may purchase one of twelve optional coverages above its mandatory FHCF coverage provided for in the FHCF Reimbursement Contract. The TICL options allow the Company to purchase its mandatory FHCF premium
share of one of the twelve optional layers of coverage. The optional layers of coverage above the mandatory FHCF coverage are $12 billion, $11 billion, $10 billion, $9 billion, $8 billion, $7 billion, $6 billion, $5 billion, $4 billion, $3
billion, $2 billion, or $1 billion. 
 The purchase of a TICL option increases the Company’s coverage under the Reimbursement Contract as
calculated pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(d)2., Florida Statutes. The Company’s increased coverage shall be the FHCF reimbursement premium multiplied by the TICL multiple. Each TICL coverage multiple shall be calculated by dividing $12
billion, $11 billion, $10 billion, $9 billion, $8 billion, $7 billion, $6 billion, $5 billion, $4 billion, $3 billion, $2 billion, or $1 billion by the aggregate mandatory FHCF premium under the Reimbursement Contract paid by all companies.

 In order to determine the Company’s total limit of coverage, the Company’s TICL coverage multiple is added to its regular Payout
Multiple under the Reimbursement Contract. The total of these two multiples shall represent a number that, when multiplied by an insurer’s mandatory FHCF reimbursement premium under the Reimbursement Contract, defines the Company’s total
limit of FHCF reimbursement coverage for the Contract Year under the Reimbursement Contract and Addendum No. 2. The SBA shall reimburse the Company for 45 percent, 75 percent, or 90 percent of its losses from each Covered Event in excess of the
Company’s FHCF Retention under the Reimbursement Contract, plus 5 percent of the reimbursed losses to cover loss adjustment expense, not to exceed the Company’s total limit of coverage as defined above. The percentage shall be the same as
the coverage level selected by the Company under its Reimbursement Contract. 
 II. TICL Premium 
 The Company’s TICL premium shall be determined as specified in Section 215.555(5), Florida Statutes, and shall be due and payable in three
installments on August 1, 2008, October 1, 2008, and December 1, 2008. 
 III. Liability of the FHCF 
 Pursuant to Section 215.555(17)(g), Florida Statutes, the liability of the FHCF with respect to all TICL addenda shall not exceed $12 billion and
shall depend on the number of insurers that select the TICL optional coverage and the TICL coverage options selected. In no circumstance shall the liability of the FHCF exceed its actual claims-paying capacity as defined in
Section 215.555(2)(m), Florida Statutes. 
 The additional TICL capacity shall apply only to the additional coverage provided under the
TICL options and shall not otherwise affect any insurer’s reimbursement from the FHCF if the insurer chooses not to select a TICL option to increase its limit of FHCF coverage. 
  

					
		 	2	 	FHCF-2008K-2
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.

 IV. Coordination of Coverage 
 Reimbursement amounts under TICL shall not be reduced by reinsurance paid or payable to the Company from sources other than the FHCF. 
 The TICL coverage shall be in addition to all other coverage provided by the FHCF under the Company’s Reimbursement Contract or other Addenda to the Reimbursement Contract, and shall be in addition to the
claims-paying capacity of the FHCF as defined in Section 215.555(4)(c)1., Florida Statutes, but only with respect to those insurers that select the TICL coverage. 
 The TICL coverage selected is irrevocable and shall not overlap or duplicate coverage otherwise provided for in the Reimbursement Contract, or any Addenda to the Reimbursement Contract, or offset any co-payments or
retention amounts. 
 V. Addendum No. 2 TICL Coverage Election 
 ALL COMPANIES EXECUTING A REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT MUST INDICATE BELOW THE LEVEL OF OPTIONAL TICL COVERAGE SELECTED, IF ANY. IF ADDENDUM NO. 2 IS RETURNED WITHOUT A TICL COVERAGE OPTION SELECTED, IT SHALL BE DEEMED BY
THE STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION TO BE A CHOICE TO REJECT TICL COVERAGE. 
 If your Company does not want to purchase any TICL coverage,
print “No Coverage” on the line below and initial the box. 
 

 
 By selecting an option below (initial the applicable box), the Company is selecting its proportionate share
based on its mandatory FHCF reimbursement premium to the total mandatory FHCF reimbursement premiums paid by all companies of the layer of optional coverage.

 It is
Hereby Agreed, effective at 12:00:01 a.m., Eastern Time, June 1, 2008, that this Contract shall be amended as follows: 
 ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
OPTION (up to $10 million) PURSUANT TO SECTION 215.555(4)(b)4., FLORIDA STATUTES. 
 Pursuant to Section 215.555(4)(b)4., Florida Statutes, certain
Companies may select additional FHCF reimbursement coverage of up to $10 million dollars. The additional premium to be charged for this additional reimbursement coverage shall be 50 percent of the additional reimbursement coverage provided, which
shall include one prepaid full reinstatement. The additional premium shall be due and payable in three equal installments on August 1, 2008, on October 1, 2008, and on December 1, 2008. 
 The minimum retention level that must be retained associated with this additional coverage layer is 30 percent of the insurer’s surplus as of December 31,
2007, for each Covered Event. For an 

  

					
		 	1	 	FHCF-2008K-4
		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.

 
insurer which began writing property insurance in 2008 and did not have a surplus as of December 31, 2007, surplus shall be deemed to be the surplus
reported to the Office of Insurance Regulation at the time the insurer received its Certificate of Authority. 
 The reimbursement percentage applicable to
this additional coverage shall be 100 percent, which includes reimbursement for loss adjustment expense as provided under the Reimbursement Contract. 
 This
additional reimbursement coverage shall be in addition to all other coverage provided by the SBA under the Company’s Reimbursement Contract and shall be in addition to the claims-paying capacity of the FHCF as defined in
Section 215.555(4)(c)1., Florida Statutes, but only with respect to those insurers that select the additional coverage option. Coverage provided in this additional coverage option shall otherwise be consistent with terms and conditions as
relates to the Reimbursement Contract including, but not limited to, definitions, coverage for Covered Policies as defined, exclusions, loss reporting, and examination procedures. 
 While this additional coverage shall not reduce, overlap, or duplicate coverage otherwise provided for in the Reimbursement Contract or offset any co-payments, the amount of coverage selected herein is irrevocable.
Any amount of additional coverage selected herein that would in effect overlap FHCF coverage otherwise provided for in the Reimbursement Contract, or any other Addenda to the Reimbursement Contract, shall be deemed by the FHCF to shift above the
highest level of coverage otherwise provided by the FHCF. 
 The claims-paying capacity with respect to all other participating insurers, including eligible
Companies that do not select the additional coverage option, shall be limited to their reimbursement premium’s proportionate share of the actual claims-paying capacity as defined in Section 215.555(4)(c)1., Florida Statutes and as provided
for under the terms of the Reimbursement Contract, plus any coverage provided under any other Addenda to the Reimbursement Contract. 
 The optional coverage
provided in this Addendum expires on May 31, 2009 and is not renewable. To be eligible for this optional coverage, the Company must return a fully executed Addendum No. 4 (two originals) no later than 5 p.m., Central Time,
June 30, 2008. A Company failing to meet the applicable deadline shall not be eligible for optional coverage under Addendum No. 4 for the 2008 Contract Year. Furthermore, there shall be no coverage under this Addendum for any Loss
Occurrence, as defined in Article V of the Contract and under which the Company would be eligible for reimbursements under the Contract, that occurs prior to the FHCF receiving the fully executed Addendum No. 4 (original copies). 
 New Participants, as defined in Article V of the Contract, must return a fully executed Addendum No. 4 (two originals) within thirty days of writing its first
Covered Policy and prior to a Loss Occurrence under which the company would be eligible for reimbursements under the Contract. A Company failing to meet the applicable deadline shall not be eligible for optional coverage under Addendum No. 4
for the 2008 Contract Year. 
 ALL COMPANIES EXECUTING A REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT AND ELIGIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COVERAGE MUST INDICATE BELOW THE AMOUNT OF
ADDITIONAL COVERAGE SELECTED, IF ANY.

		 		 	Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C.Offer letter from Fifth Third Bancorp to Ross J. Kari

 Exhibit 10.1 
 October 28, 2008 
 Mr. Ross J. Kari 
 1403 McGilvra Blvd. East 
 Seattle, WA 98112 
 Dear
Ross: 
 It is my pleasure to provide you with this letter formalizing our offer of employment with Fifth Third Bank. With your acceptance of this
offer, you will assume the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, reporting directly to me.  
 Your biweekly
salary will be $22,308, which is annualized to $580,008. Your first salary review will occur during the 2010 salary review process. 
 As agreed, Fifth Third
will pay you a one-time pre-tax New Hire Signing Bonus of $100,000 according to the terms of the enclosed New Hire Signing Bonus Repayment Agreement. Please sign and return the enclosed agreement to me by your start date. Fifth Third will
pay the New Hire Signing Bonus within 30 days of your start date. 
 Upon approval by the Board of Directors, you will receive a long-term incentive
grant comprised of 20,000 Fifth Third Bancorp restricted shares and 40,000 Fifth Third Bancorp stock appreciation rights. This equity award will be effective on the first business day of the quarter following your start date and will have a
four-year cliff vesting period. Typically, within 2-3 weeks after the award effective date (i.e., grant date), you will receive an e-mail notice to accept your award electronically. You will also receive a welcome kit from Fidelity Investments in
the mail at your home address, which contains instructions for activating your Stock Plan Account and accepting your award on-line. 
 You will be eligible
for four weeks of vacation in 2009. Your vacation for the remainder of 2008 will be prorated accordingly. 
 You will be eligible to participate in the
Executive Compensation Plan, which affords you the opportunity of earning additional compensation beyond your base salary. The Variable Compensation (VC) Plan is an annual incentive plan with different payout levels for threshold, target and maximum
performance. Your target bonus opportunity will be 100% of your base salary, and your maximum opportunity will be three times the target level. Per the attached MSPP Overview, 25% of your VC payment will be made in shares of Fifth Third stock with
restrictions on their sale, and that amount will be matched at 50% with restricted stock. The actual amount you receive is dependent upon Fifth Third, Affiliate or Division and individual performance. This year’s target will be prorated based
upon your date of hire. 
 Equity-based awards are also granted at this level. Equity grants are typically made annually on a discretionary basis and are
approved by the Board of Directors. Assuming you remain employed with the Bank, you will participate in the 2009 equity grants and your target award for 2009 will be $1,100,000, and your actual award will be based on your individual performance
as well as the Bank’s results. In order to receive any equity award, you must electronically accept the award agreement as well as the Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, both of which will be available for
electronic acceptance shortly following the award date. The Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation agreement prohibits the disclosure or use of the Company’s confidential information for purposes other than conducting
Company business. It also prohibits the solicitation of customers and/or employees away from the Company for the sale of any product or service that competes with those offered by the 

 
Company for a period of one year. Finally, the agreement restricts you from competing with Fifth Third, in the geographic region in which you worked,
for a period of one year following the termination of your employment with Fifth Third. 
 Your total compensation and benefits package includes our Profit
Sharing Plan. Fifth Third has traditionally shared its success directly with employees on an annual basis. To date, Fifth Third has given over half a billion dollars back to our employees in appreciation for their hard work and effort. Participation
in the Profit Sharing Plan allows you to accumulate wealth over the course of your career. The Bank’s contribution will range from 0% to 10% with a target of 3 to 4%, based on meeting or exceeding specified financial goals. Additional
information on this Profit Sharing Plan is explained in the attached benefits summary. As do most employers, Fifth Third reserves the right to modify this plan as well as any other compensation or benefit plan offered to employees. 
 You will be eligible to defer 1% to 100% of your eligible earnings to our 401(k) Plan, after 30 days of employment, subject to IRS limitations. The Bank will match
100% of the first 4% deferred on a pre-tax basis. Additional information on this 401(k) Plan is explained in the attached benefits summary. 
 You are
eligible for reimbursement for Executive Planning Services. This enhanced reimbursement benefit provides up to $7,500 annually for Internal Executive Wealth Planning ($10,000 for the first year you utilize the
service). Reimbursements will be grossed up by 50% to help offset the payroll taxes that apply to this benefit. A two-year service requirement is waived if you move assets to Fifth Third Bank for management. Please
refer to program guidelines for complete details. 
 In addition to the portion of your benefits that are paid by the Bank, you will receive Benefit Choice
Dollars. Benefit Choice Dollars are granted to eligible employees after 30 days of employment. Eligible employees receive 4% of their Benefits Salary up to $4,000 per year. Additional information on this Benefit Choice Dollars Plan is explained in
the attached benefits summary. 
 In addition to these benefits, you will receive a change-in-control agreement that is provided separately for your review.
You will also be eligible for a country club membership at a club that we mutually agree is suitable. Fifth Third will cover this expense by increasing the amount of your up-front bonus to pay for the initiation fee (grossed up at the highest
marginal tax rate to cover taxes associated with this benefit) and by increasing the amount of your base salary to cover monthly dues. 
 Fifth Third will
also provide for your relocation to the Cincinnati area. Details regarding Fifth Third’s relocation program and policy are enclosed. The relocation package includes the following: 
 Guaranteed home buy out 
 Movement of normal
household goods including full unpack 
 Ninety days temporary living 
 Ninety days temporary storage 
 Standard costs
associated with the sale of your current home including real estate commission 
 $5,000 (net) Miscellaneous Expense Allowance 
 Closing costs on the purchase of a new home provided it is financed by Fifth Third 
 Two home finding trips including spouse and children for 3 days each 
 Six trips home during the relocation period 
 All amounts that are grossed up under the relocation program and policy will
be grossed up at the highest marginal tax rate. 
 Fifth Third is proud of its long-standing affiliation with the United Way and asks each employee to
support this worthy cause. As an officer of Fifth Third, you will be encouraged to volunteer your time and resources to the annual United Way campaign.

discussed, our offer of employment and continued employment is contingent up your successful completion of Fifth Third’s employment screening process, which includes a drug test and government mandated background investigation. Upon
acceptance of our offer, you will receive further details regarding the drug screening process and your start date. 
 As with all positions at Fifth Third,
each of us is employed on an at-will basis and no part of this letter should be construed to change that relationship. That is, Fifth Third and each employee can terminate employment at any time. 
 We look forward to your response on this offer of employment by November 7, 2008. 
 Ross, we are pleased to offer you this position and are confident that your employment with Fifth Third will be mutually rewarding. These are exciting times for us and we look forward to your acceptance of our offer
