considered as constituting a separate and distinct loss occurrence. A loss from such occupational disease shall be deemed to have occurred at the first date when compensable disability of the employee commenced; or if the loss is compensable without
disability, when compensability commenced, or if such dates cannot be determined, shall be deemed to have occurred on the last date of employment of said employee. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, occupational disease that is traceable to a sudden and accidental

single loss occurrence, regardless of the number of interests insured or the number of policies involved. The date of loss of such occurrence will be the date of commencement of the loss event. 
  

	4.	“Gross Net Earned Premium Income”, wherever used herein, means the gross premium earned by the Company during the period of this Agreement on business subject to this

the presentation, defence or settlement of any claim covered hereunder. 
  

	6.	“Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits”, wherever used herein, means those liabilities incurred by the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the
terms of its policy, which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder as a result of an action against the Company by its insured or its insured’s assignee to recover damages the insured is legally obligated to pay to a
third party claimant because of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in rejecting a settlement within policy limits, or in discharging its duty to defend or prepare the defence in the trial of an action against its insured,
or in discharging its duty to prepare or prosecute an appeal consequent upon such an action.

own account shall be included.

hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other Reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such Reinsurer(s), whether

Company, Reinsurers shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of loss due under the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 11 
  
 OPTIONS OF THE COMPANY 
  
 At the sole option of the Company, this Agreement will be subject to the provisions of
either: a) Profit Commission or b) No Claims Bonus. The Profit Commission provision does not apply to Retrospective Rating Plan business but the No Claims Bonus and Commutation provision does. The Company has to advise its decision in writing to
Reinsurers by 30th April 2007. 
  
 a) Profit Commission - in respect of
Part 1 of Article 7 only 
  
 Reinsurers shall allow the Company a Profit
Commission determined in accordance with the following terms: 
  
 INCOME

  
 Premium due hereunder 
  
 OUTGO 
  
 1. An allowance for Reinsurers’ expenses equal to 30% of the premium due hereunder. 
  
 2. Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses due hereunder. 
  
 3. Outstanding losses and loss adjustment expenses hereunder. 
  
 Any positive amount resulting from INCOME less OUTGO multiplied by 50% shall equal the Profit
Commission. A negative balance is a Deficit. The first calculation and payment of the Profit Commission is to be made twenty four months after the end of the period of this Agreement at 1st May 2008. Re-calculations and adjustments will be made
annually thereafter until all losses are finally paid and settled or commuted. 
  
 b) No Claims Bonus and Commutation - in respect of Part 1 and Part 2 of Article 7 
  
 Both Part 1 and Part 2 to be treated in the same manner 
  
 In the event of no losses being incurred under both Part 1 and Part 2 hereunder, 12 months after the end of the period hereof a No Claims Bonus shall be payable, calculated at 70% of 70% of the premiums due under both
Part 1 and Part 2 combined (i. e. after deduction of Reinsurers’ expenses calculated at 30% of premium due hereunder). 
  

 7 

 

 
  

 In consideration of the payment of the No Claims Bonus, the Company will reassume all liability hereunder and provide
Reinsurers with a full and final release of their liability hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Company will have the option to forego making loss recoveries that would otherwise be due hereunder, in order to collect the No Claims Bonus
instead and, in this event, the Company will refund to Reinsurers all loss payments actually made by Reinsurers. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
  
 COMMUTATION 
  
 (Only applicable if the Profit
Commission option is taken) 
  
 Within three months following 84 months
after the end of the period of this Agreement, the Company will submit to Reinsurers a statement listing all amounts paid and reserved in respect of losses that occurred during the period of this Agreement and are subject to this Agreement. This
statement will form the basis of a final agreed value for all such losses but the amounts of the reserves contained therein will be subject to one of the following alternatives to determine their final agreed value: 
  

	A	A calculation based on the following criteria: 

  

	 	1	In respect of all “index linked” benefits, annuity values will be calculated based on an annual discount of 0% and an annual escalation of 0%. 

  

	 	2	In respect of all un-indexed benefits, annuity values will be calculated based on an annual discount of 4%. 

  

	 	3	In respect of all future medical costs, annuity calculations will be based on the Company’s evaluation of long-term care and rehabilitation requirements, using an annual
discount of 0% and an annual escalation of 0%. 

  

	 	4	Where applicable, impaired life expectancy, survivors’ life expectancy and re-marriage probability will be reflected in the calculation by employing tables recommended by a
mutually acceptable actuarial consultant. 

  

	B	Any other method of calculating the agreed value of one or more losses, as mutually agreed between the Company and Reinsurers. 

  
 The results of such calculations shall constitute the full and final agreed value of all
losses that occurred during the period of this Agreement and are subject to this Agreement. The resulting amounts, after application of the Limit and Retention of this Agreement, shall be accepted by the Company as full and final settlement of
Reinsurers’ liability, both known and unknown, under this Agreement, whether involving a payment by Reinsurers or not. Upon payment of the amount, if any, shown to be due by Reinsurers to the Company, the Company shall grant Reinsurers full and
final release of all liabilities hereunder. 
  
 However, if after following the
above procedures, the Company and Reinsurers are unable to agree on the final value of the reserves of one or more losses, such differences shall be referred to a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each of the parties to this Agreement
and the third to be appointed by the two so chosen. If either party refuses or fails to appoint an actuary within 30 days of being requested to do so in writing by the other party, the other party shall appoint two actuaries. If the two actuaries
fail to agree on the appointment of the 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 actuaries selected by drawing lots shall
be: 
  

	 	a.	disinterested in the outcome of the commutation; 

  

 8 

 

 
  

	 	b.	regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers Compensation claims; 

  

	 	c.	unconnected with either of the parties to this Agreement; and 

  

	 	d.	a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society, an Associate of the Society of Actuaries or an Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society.

  
 Each party shall submit its case to the panel of actuaries
within 30 days of the appointment of the third actuary. The decision, in writing, of any two of the actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties. Each party shall bear the expense of its own actuary and
shall jointly and equally bear, with the other party, the expenses of the third actuary and the remaining costs, if any, of the commutation. 
  
 ARTICLE 13 
  
 CURRENCY

 ARTICLE 14 
  
 SUBROGATION 
  
 The Company will credit Reinsurers with any reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less the actual costs (excluding
salaries of permanent officials and employees of the Company) of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery, on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. 
  
 The Company agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a
part of which was sustained by Reinsurers, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights. 
  
 Amounts recovered from subrogation will always be used to reimburse the excess reinsurers in the reverse order of their participation in the loss before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary
loss. If the amount recovered exceeds the recovery expense, the recovery expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its benefit from the recovery. If the recovery expense exceeds the amount recovered, the amount recovered (if any) will be
applied to the reimbursement of recovery expense and the remaining expense as well as any originally incurred loss expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its liability for the loss before recovery was attempted. 
  
 ARTICLE 15 
  
 TAXES 
  
 The Company will be liable for taxes (except Federal Excise Tax) on premiums reported to Reinsurers
hereunder. 
  
 If domiciled outside of the United States of America and if not
legally exempted from Federal Excise Tax, Reinsurers have agreed to allow for the purposes of paying the Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon to the extent such premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax.

 In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder Reinsurers will deduct the applicable percentage from
the amount of the return and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the tax from the U.S. Government. 
  
 ARTICLE 16 
  
 DELAYS, ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
  
 Inadvertent delays,
errors and omissions made in connection with this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission be rectified as soon
as possible after its discovery. 
  
 ARTICLE 17

  
 ACCESS TO RECORDS 
  
 Reinsurers or their designated representatives shall have free access at any reasonable time
to all books and records of the Company which pertain in any way to this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 18 
  
 LOSS RESERVES

  
 This Article applies only to those Reinsurers, signatory hereto, who
do not qualify for credit under the regulations of the state insurance authorities or departments which have jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. 
  
 The Company agrees that when, for its Annual Convention Statement purposes, it files with the authorities or departments mentioned above or sets up in its books statutory
reserves, it shall forward to Reinsurers a clear statement of Reinsurers’ proportion of such reserves detailing all the amounts involved. Such reserves shall consist of Reinsurance Recoverable (Case and Bulk Reserves), as set forth on Schedule
F of the Annual Statement. 
  
 Reinsurers, promptly upon receipt of the
Company’s statement, shall apply for and secure delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to their proportion of the stated reserves. 
  
 All Letters of Credit procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued by a bank which is
a member of the Federal Reserve and shall be in full conformity with the requirements of the authorities or departments mentioned in the first paragraph of this Article current at the date of the Company’s statement. Further, they shall be
“Evergreen” in that they shall be issued for an initial period of not less than one year and shall be automatically extended for one year from their original expiration dates and subsequently from their extended expiration dates unless and
until, at least thirty days before any expiration date, the issuing bank gives notice to the Company by registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to extend the life of the Letter of Credit in question beyond its forthcoming expiration date.

  
 In consideration of the agreement of Reinsurers to furnish such Letters of
Credit to the Company to enable it to obtain credit for the reinsurance provided under this Agreement, the Company hereby undertakes to hold such Letters of Credit and the proceeds of any drawings made upon them in trust for the following purposes
only:- 
  

	(a)	To pay Reinsurers’ share or to reimburse the Company for that share of any liability for loss or allocated loss expense reinsured by this Agreement; 

 

 10 

 

 
  

	(b)	To refund to Reinsurers any balance by which the amount of the Letter of Credit exceeds Reinsurers’ proportion of any liability for loss or allocated loss expense reinsured by
this Agreement. 

  

	(c)	In the event that one or more of the Reinsurers gives timely notice of cancellation or non-renewal of their participation in the Letter of Credit and provided that the obligations
secured by the Letter of Credit remain unliquidated and undischarged at the time of receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall have the option to create a Cash Deposit Account, separate from its own assets, in an amount equal to the
participation of the cancelling or non-renewing Reinsurer(s) in the Letter of Credit. That Cash Deposit Account may then be used as in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above. It is understood and agreed that this procedure may only be
implemented before the expiry of the notice period in respect of cancellation or non-renewal and that if it is implemented, the Company will ensure that a rate of interest is obtained for Reinsurers on such a Cash Deposit Account that is at least
equal to the rate which will be paid by Citibank N.A. in New York, and further that the Company will account to Reinsurers on an annual basis for all interests accruing on the Cash Deposit Account to the benefit of Reinsurers.

  
 The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in
connection with the propriety of drawings made by the Company on the Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement or in connection with the disposition of any funds so withdrawn, except to ensure that drawings are made only upon the order of
properly authorised representatives of the Company. 
  
 All Letters of Credit
procured for the Company under this Agreement shall be adjusted at annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed (but never more frequently than quarterly), to reflect the current balance of Reinsurers’ proportion of the Company’s
reserves and the Company shall produce a statement for this purpose detailed in the same way as the original statement on the basis of which such Letters of Credit were first issued. If the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of such
reserves exceeds the current amount of the Letters of Credit, Reinsurers shall, within thirty days after receipt of the statement, secure the amendment of the Letters of Credit increasing their amount to the amount of the current balance of these
items. If, however, the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of the current balance of those items is less than the amount of the Letters of Credit, the Company shall, within thirty days of receipt of a written request from Reinsurers to
do so, facilitate the release of the excessive security by authorising the amendment of the Letters of Credit so as to reduce their amount to the current balance required. 
  
 ARTICLE 19 
  
 INSOLVENCY 
  
 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Agreement shall be payable by Reinsurers immediately upon demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the
Company under policy or policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118 (A) of the New York Insurance
Law or except where the Agreement specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, and where Reinsurers with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of
the Company as direct obligations of Reinsurers to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. 
  
 The liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to Reinsurers of the pendency of a claim against the Company on the policy or
policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the pendency of such claim Reinsurers may investigate such claim and interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such
claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which they may deem available to the Company 

  

 11 

 

 
  

 
or its liquidator or receiver or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by Reinsurers shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the
Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by Reinsurers. 
  
 Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect
to interpose defense to such claim the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company. 
  
 Should the Company go into liquidation or should a receiver be appointed Reinsurers shall be entitled to deduct from any sums which may be
due or may become due to the Company under this Agreement, any sums which are due to Reinsurers by the Company under this Agreement and which are payable at a fixed or stated date, as well as any other sums due to Reinsurers which are permitted to
be offset under applicable law.

or companies becoming included in the designation of “Company”, this Article will apply only to the insolvent company or companies.

	1.	If, due to the insolvency of Company, the Company fails to pay the full amount of damages payable by the Company on behalf of the Insured to which the policy applies, Reinsurers

and Reinsurers hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurance Agreement”. 

  

	2.	Any payment under this Article to the Reinsurance Agreement is subject to and requires the prior approval of the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, conservator or court of

as their interest may appear.

 GOVERNING LAW

states shall apply. 
  
 ARTICLE 23 
  
 ARBITRATION 
  
 As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this
Agreement, including its formation and validity, shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration will be in writing and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. 
  
 One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall, before
instituting the hearing, choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. If either party fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter, after ten
(10) days notice by certified or registered mail of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator. 
  
 If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected from a list
of six individuals (three named by each arbitrator) by a judge of the federal district court having jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if the federal court declines to act, the state court having
general jurisdiction in such area. 
  
 All arbitrators shall be disinterested,
active or former executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. 
  
 Within thirty (30) days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and
schedules for hearings. The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but the
venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall consider the law of the State of Pennsylvania. The decision of any two
arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate. 
  
 The panel shall interpret this Agreement as an honourable engagement rather than as merely a legal obligation and shall make its decision
considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible following the termination of the hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

 
 Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear
with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. 
  

 13 

 

 
  

 The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel. The panel may, at its discretion, award such
further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys fees, to the extent permitted by law. 
  
 If more than one Reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law of fact and possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all
such Reinsurers may constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the Reinsurers constituting the one party; provided however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of
such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint defences or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of Reinsurers under the terms of this Agreement from several to joint. 
  
 ARTICLE 24 
  
 SERVICE OF SUIT 
  
 It is agreed that in the event of the failure of Reinsurers hereon to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, Reinsurers hereon, at the request of the Company will submit to the jurisdiction of a Court of
competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this clause constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of Reinsurers’ right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove
an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any State in the United States. It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made
upon Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829 and that in any suit instituted against any one of them upon this agreement, Reinsurers will abide by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate in the event of an
appeal. 
  
 The above-named are authorised and directed to accept service of
process on behalf of Reinsurers in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that they will enter a general appearance upon Reinsurers’ behalf in the event such a suit shall be instituted.

  
 Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the
United States which makes provision therefor, Reinsurers hereon hereby designate the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as their
true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this agreement or reinsurance, and hereby designate the
above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorised to mail such process or a true copy thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE 25

notices and payments required by this Agreement, Eastern Alliance Insurance Company will be deemed the agent of all of the other reinsured companies. In no event, however will any reinsured company be deemed the agent of another with respect to
Article 19 Insolvency. 
  
 ARTICLE 26 
  
 SEVERABILITY 
  
 If any provision of this Agreement shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such
provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not affect 

  

 14 

 

 
  

 
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

all recoveries and salvages actually recovered or received and all claims on inuring reinsurance, whether collectible or not. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Agreement are not recoverable until the Company’s
Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. It is understood that salvages and/or recoveries received by the Company subsequent to a loss settlement hereunder, shall be applied as if received prior to the settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall
be effected by the parties hereto.

expenses of the Company and all salaries and expenses of its officials and employees shall be excluded under this Agreement except for the pro-rata share of the salaries and expenses of the Company’s field employees according to the time
occupied adjusting a loss subject hereunder and expenses of the Company’s officials incurred in connection with such loss. All other expenses including taxes, court costs and interest on judgments, incurred in investigation, adjustment and
litigation shall be included in the Ultimate Net Loss, and within the reinsurance limit hereunder.

causative incident shall be considered a loss occurrence. 

  
 Occupational disease shall also be deemed to be a loss occurrence for the purposes of this Agreement, and each case of one employee of one insured contracting a disease by which the Company may be held liable shall be
considered as constituting a separate and distinct loss occurrence. A loss from such occupational disease shall be deemed to have occurred at the first date when compensable disability of the employee commenced; or if the loss is compensable without
disability, when compensability commenced, or if such dates cannot be determined, shall be deemed to have occurred on the last date of employment of said employee. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, occupational disease that is traceable to a sudden and accidental
loss event which does not exceed 72 hours in duration and which involves traumatic injury or death, shall also be deemed to be a loss occurrence for the purposes of this Agreement, and all employees involved in such an event shall constitute a
single loss occurrence, regardless of the number of interests insured or the number of policies involved. The date of loss of such occurrence will be the date of commencement of the loss event.

	5.	“Extra Contractual Obligations”, wherever used herein, means those liabilities incurred by the Company, other than Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits, which arise
from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder as a result of an action against the Company by its insured, its insured’s assignee or a third party claimant, which action alleges negligence or bad faith on the part of the Company

the presentation, defence or settlement of any claim covered hereunder. 
  

	6.	“Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits”, wherever used herein, means those liabilities incurred by the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the
terms of its policy, which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder as a result of an action against the Company by its insured or its insured’s assignee to recover damages the insured is legally obligated to pay to a
third party claimant because of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in rejecting a settlement within policy limits, or in discharging its duty to defend or prepare the defence in the trial of an action against its insured,
or in discharging its duty to prepare or prosecute an appeal consequent upon such an action. 

  
 However, this provision shall not apply to any loss in excess of original policy limits incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or
criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organisation or party involved in the presentation, defence or settlement of any claim covered
hereunder.

its own account and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and in computing the amount or amounts in excess of which this Agreement attaches, only loss or losses in respect of that portion of any policy which the Company retains net for its
own account shall be included. 
  
 The amount of Reinsurers’ liability
hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other Reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such Reinsurer(s), whether
such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

 ARTICLE 7 
  
 LIMIT AND RETENTION 
  
 Reinsurers shall not be liable for any loss hereunder until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss exceeds $25,000,000 each Loss Occurrence and then Reinsurers shall be

 ARTICLE 8 
  
 REINSTATEMENT

additional premium calculated at pro rata of the premium hereunder, being pro rata as to the amount being reinstated and 100% as to time. However, Reinsurers’ liability will never be more than $15,000,000 Ultimate Net Loss each Loss Occurrence,

 ARTICLE 10 
  
 NOTICE OF LOSS
AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS 
  
 The Company will advise Reinsurers promptly of
all claims or occurrences which, in the opinion of the Company, may involve Reinsurers and of all subsequent developments on these claims which may materially affect the position of Reinsurers. 
  
 Upon receipt by Reinsurers of satisfactory proof of evidence of payment of loss by the
Company, Reinsurers shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of loss due under the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 Reinsurers agree to abide by the loss settlements of the Company, provided that they are within the terms and conditions of the original policies (other than as provided
for in the Extra Contractual Obligations and Loss in Excess of Original Policy limits definitions) and within the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 12 
  
 COMMUTATION 
  
 The Company or the Reinsurers may, at any time express their desire to the other party to commute all losses applicable to this Agreement and which are still unsettled.
In such event the Company and the Reinsurers shall mutually determine and evaluate such losses and the payment by the Reinsurers of their proportion of the amount so ascertained and mutually agreed to be the value of such losses shall relieve them
of all further liability, in respect of this Agreement in respect of such known and/or unknown losses. If the Company and Reinsurers are unable to eventually agree upon the value of said losses, no commutation of such losses shall be made.

  
 ARTICLE 13 
  
 CURRENCY

Dollars and all transactions under this Agreement shall be in Unites States Dollars. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
  
 SUBROGATION

  
 The Company will credit Reinsurers with any reimbursement obtained or
recovery made by the Company, less the actual costs (excluding salaries of permanent officials and employees of the Company) of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery, on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance
hereunder. 
  
 The Company agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation
relating to any loss, a part of which was sustained by Reinsurers, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights. 
  
 Amounts recovered from subrogation will always be used to reimburse the excess reinsurers in the reverse order of their participation in the loss before being used in any
way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. If the amount recovered exceeds the recovery expense, the recovery expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its benefit from the recovery. If the recovery expense exceeds the amount
recovered, the amount recovered (if any) will be applied to the reimbursement of recovery expense and the remaining expense as well as any originally incurred loss expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its liability for the loss
before recovery was attempted. 
  
 ARTICLE 15

  
 TAXES 
  
 The Company will be liable for taxes (except Federal Excise
Tax) on premiums reported to Reinsurers hereunder. 
  
 If domiciled outside of
the United States of America and if not legally exempted from Federal Excise Tax, Reinsurers have agreed to allow for the purposes of paying the Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon to the extent such premium is
subject to Federal Excise Tax. 
  
 In the event of any return of premium becoming
due hereunder Reinsurers will deduct the applicable percentage from the amount of the return and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the tax from the U.S. Government. 
  

 7 

 

 
  

 ARTICLE 16 
  
 DELAYS, ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
  
 Inadvertent delays, errors and omissions made in connection with this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such
delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission be rectified as soon as possible after its discovery. 
  
 ARTICLE 17 
  
 ACCESS TO RECORDS 
  
 Reinsurers or their designated representatives shall have free access at any reasonable time to all books and records of the Company which pertain in any way to this
Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 18 
  
 LOSS RESERVES 
  
 This Article applies only to those Reinsurers signatory hereto who do not qualify for credit under the regulations of the State insurance
authorities or departments which have jurisdiction over the Company’s loss reserves. 
  
 The Company agrees that when, for its Annual Convention Statement purposes, it files with the authorities or departments mentioned above or sets up in its books statutory reserves for known outstanding loss and
allocated loss expenses reinsured by this Agreement it shall forward to Reinsurers a clear statement of Reinsurers’ proportion of such reserves detailing all the amounts involved and how those amounts are calculated. 
  
 Reinsurers, promptly upon receipt of the Company’s statement, shall apply for and secure
delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to their proportion of the stated reserves. Under no circumstances shall any amount relating to Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) losses be
included in the amount of the Letter of Credit in respect of losses or loss expenses. 
  
 All Letters of Credit procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued by a Bank which is a Member of the Federal Reserve and shall be in full conformity with the requirements of the authorities or departments mentioned in the first
paragraph of this Article current at the date of the Company’s statement. Further, they shall be “Evergreen” in that they shall be issued for an initial period of not less than one year and shall be automatically extended for one year
from their original expiration dates and subsequently from their extended expiration dates unless and until, at least thirty days before any expiration date, the issuing bank gives notice to the Company by registered mail that the issuing bank
elects not to extend the life of the Letter of Credit in question beyond its forthcoming expiration date. 
  
 In consideration of the agreement of Reinsurers to furnish such Letters of Credit to the Company to enable it to obtain credit for the reinsurance provided under this Agreement, the Company hereby undertakes to hold
such Letters of Credit and the proceeds of any drawings made upon them in trust for Reinsurers and to use and apply the proceeds of any such drawings for the following purposes only:- 
  

	(a)	to pay the Reinsurer’s share or to reimburse the Company for that share of any liability for known loss or allocated Loss Expense reinsured by this Agreement;

  

	(b)	to refund to Reinsurers any balance by which the amount of the Letter of Credit exceeds the Reinsurers’ proportion of any liability for loss or allocated Loss Expense reinsured
by this Agreement. 

  

 8 

 

 
  

	(c)	in the event that one or more of the Reinsurers gives timely notice of cancellation or non-renewal of their participation in the Letter of Credit and provided that the obligations
secured by the Letter of Credit remain unliquidated and undischarged at the time of receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall have the option to create a Cash Deposit Account, separate from its own assets, in an amount equal to the
participation of the cancelling or non-renewing Reinsurer(s) in the Letter of Credit. That Cash Deposit Account may then be used as in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above. It is understood and agreed that this procedure may only be
implemented before the expiry of the notice period in respect of cancellation or non-renewal and that if it is implemented, the Company will ensure that a rate of interest is obtained for Reinsurers on such a deposit account that is at least equal
to the rate which will be paid by Citibank N.A. in New York, and further that the Company will account to Reinsurers on an annual basis for all interests accruing on the Cash Deposit Account to the benefit of Reinsurers. 

  
 The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of
drawings made by the Company on the Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement or in connection with the disposition of any funds so withdrawn, except to ensure that drawings are made only upon the order of properly authorised representatives of
the Company. 
  
 All Letters of Credit procured for the Company under this
Agreement shall be adjusted at annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed (but never more frequently than quarterly), to reflect the current balance of Reinsurers’ proportion of the Company’s known outstanding loss and allocated Loss
Expense reserves and the Company shall produce a statement for this purpose detailed in the same way as the original statement on the basis of which such Letters of Credit were first issued. If the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of
such losses and allocated Loss Expense exceeds the current amount of the Letters of Credit, Reinsurers shall, within thirty days after receipt of the statement, secure the amendment of the Letters of Credit increasing their amount to the amount of
the current balance of these items. If, however, the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of the current balance of those items is less than the amount of the Letters of Credit, the Company shall, within thirty days of receipt of a
written request from Reinsurers to do so, facilitate the release of the excessive security by authorising the amendment of the Letters of Credit so as to reduce their amount to the current balance required. 
  
 ARTICLE 19 
  
 INSOLVENCY 
  
 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Agreement shall be payable by Reinsurers immediately upon demand, with
reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Company under policy or policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor,
except as provided by Section 4118 (A) of the New York Insurance Law or except where the Agreement specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company, and where Reinsurers with the consent
of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of Reinsurers to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. 
  
 The liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to
Reinsurers of the pendency of a claim against the Company on the policy or policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and that during the pendency of such claim Reinsurers may investigate such
claim and interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which they may deem available to the Company or its liquidator or receiver or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred
by Reinsurers shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the 

  

 9 

 

 
  

 
extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by Reinsurers. 
  
 Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect
to interpose defense to such claim the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company. 
  
 Should the Company go into liquidation or should a receiver be appointed Reinsurers shall be entitled to deduct from any sums which may be
due or may become due to the Company under this Agreement, any sums which are due to Reinsurers by the Company under this Agreement and which are payable at a fixed or stated date, as well as any other sums due to Reinsurers which are permitted to
be offset under applicable law.

conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which case the applicable rules of all states shall apply. 
  
 ARTICLE 23 
  
 ARBITRATION 
  
 As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, including its formation and validity, shall be submitted for decision
to a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration will be in writing and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. 
  
 One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the
hearing. If either party fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter, after ten (10) days notice by certified or registered mail of its intention to do so, may
appoint the second arbitrator. 
  
 If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon
the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected from a list of six individuals (three named by each arbitrator) by a judge of the federal district court having jurisdiction over the
geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if the federal court declines to act, the state court having general jurisdiction in such area. 
  

All arbitrators shall be disinterested, active or former executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. 

 
 Within thirty (30) days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel
shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings. The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees
otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall
consider the law of the State of Pennsylvania. The decision of any two arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.
The panel shall interpret this Agreement as an honourable engagement rather than as merely a legal obligation and shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as
possible following the termination of the hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
  
 Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. 
  
 The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel. The panel may, at its
discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys fees, to the extent permitted by law. 
  
 If more than one Reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law of fact and possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all
such Reinsurers may constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of 

  

 11 

 

 
  

 
the Reinsurers constituting the one party; provided however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than
joint defences or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of Reinsurers under the terms of this Agreement from several to joint. 
  
 ARTICLE 24 
  
 SERVICE OF SUIT 
  
 It is agreed that in the event of the failure of Reinsurers hereon to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, Reinsurers hereon, at the request of the Company will submit to the jurisdiction of a Court of
competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this clause constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of Reinsurers’ right to commence an action in any Court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove
an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another Court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any State in the United States. It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made
upon Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829 and that in any suit instituted against any one of them upon this agreement, Reinsurers will abide by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate in the event of an
appeal. 
  
 The above-named are authorised and directed to accept service of
process on behalf of Reinsurers in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that they will enter a general appearance upon Reinsurers’ behalf in the event such a suit shall be instituted.

  
 Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the
United States which makes provision therefor, Reinsurers hereon hereby designate the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as their
true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this agreement or reinsurance, and hereby designate the
above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorised to mail such process or a true copy thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE 25 
  
 AGENCY 
  
 For the purposes of sending and receiving
notices and payments required by this Agreement, Eastern Alliance Insurance Company will be deemed the agent of all of the other reinsured companies. In no event, however will any reinsured company be deemed the agent of another with respect to
Article 19 Insolvency. 
  
 ARTICLE 26 
  
 SEVERABILITY 
  
 If any provision of this Agreement shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such
provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
