 ARTICLE 7 

DEFINITION OF LOSS OCCURRENCE 
  

	A.	The term “Loss Occurrence” shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned by any one occurrence, disaster, accident or loss or series of occurrences, disasters, accidents or losses arising out
of one event which occurs within the territory of coverage hereunder. However, the duration and extent of any one Loss Occurrence shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of one hundred sixty
eight (168) consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event except that the term Loss Occurrence shall be further defined as follows: 

 

	 	1.	As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of one hundred twenty
(120) consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. 

  

	 	2.	As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of seventy two (72) consecutive hours arising
out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of seventy two (72) consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses which occur beyond such seventy two (72) consecutive hours during the continuous
occupation of an insured’s premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period. 

  

	 	3.	As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to in the opening paragraph of this Article) and fire following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only
those individual fire losses which commence during the period of one hundred sixty eight (168) consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s Loss Occurrence. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	5	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	 	4.	As regards “Freeze”, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass, and water damage (caused by ice damming or by bursting of frozen pipes and tanks), all individual losses
sustained by the Company which occur during any period of three hundred thirty six (336) consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s Loss Occurrence. 

 

	 	5.	As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of origin (except as provided in A(2) and A(3) above), which spread through trees, grassland or other vegetation, all individual
losses sustained by the Company which commence during any period of one hundred sixty eight (168) consecutive hours within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any fixed point selected by the Company where a claim has actually been made may
be included in the Company’s “Loss Occurrence”. However, an individual loss subject to this subparagraph cannot be included in more than one Loss Occurrence. 

 

	B.	Except for those Loss Occurrences referred to in A(1) and A(2) of this Article, the Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours commences provided that it is not earlier than the date
and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that occurrence, disaster, accident or loss and provided that only one such period of one hundred sixty eight (168) consecutive hours shall
apply with respect to one event, except for those Loss Occurrences referred to in A(4) where one such period of three hundred thirty six consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, regardless of the duration of the event.

  

	C.	However, as respects those Loss Occurrences referred to in A(1) and A(2) of this Article, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than seventy two (72) or one hundred twenty
(120) consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that occurrence, disaster, accident or loss into two (2) or more Loss Occurrences provided no two (2) periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than one such period
and provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time of the Occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss. 

 

	D.	No individual losses occasioned by an event that would be covered by seventy two (72) or one hundred twenty (120) consecutive hours clauses may be included in any Loss Occurrence claimed under the one hundred
sixty eight (168) hours provision; except as set forth in A(4) where a period of three hundred thirty six (336) consecutive hours shall apply. 

  

	E.	Except where specifically provided otherwise in this Contract, each Loss Occurrence shall be deemed to take place in its entirety as of the earliest date of loss as determined by any Policy issued by the Company
responding to the Loss Occurrence. 

 ARTICLE 8 

NET RETAINED LINE 
  

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

  

	B.	The amount of the 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 Reinsurers, whether specific or general,
any amounts which may have become due from such Reinsurers, whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurers or otherwise. 

  

	C.	Inter-company reinsurance among the companies collectively called the “Company” shall be entirely disregarded for all purposes of this Contract. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	6	 	FINAL

 

 
  
 ARTICLE 9 

REPORTS, LOSS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS 
  

	A.	The Company shall advise the Reinsurers promptly of all Loss Occurrences which, in the opinion of the Company, may result in a claim hereunder and of all subsequent developments thereto which, in the opinion of the
Company, may materially affect the position of the Reinsurers, such advices to include any Loss Occurrence for which the Company has established a loss reserve in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s retention. Inadvertent omission or
oversight in giving such notice shall in no way affect the liability of the Reinsurers. However, the Reinsurers shall be informed of such omission or oversight promptly upon its discovery. 

 

	B.	Should payment due from the Reinsurers exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) as respects any one Net Loss, the Company may give the Reinsurers notice of payment made or its intention to make payment on a
certain date. If the Company intends to pay the loss by a certain date and has submitted a reasonably satisfactory proof of loss or similar document, payment shall be due from the Reinsurers twenty four (24) hours prior to scheduled date of
settlement, provided the Reinsurers have a period of ten (10) business days after receipt of said notice to dispatch the payment. Cash loss amounts specifically remitted by the Reinsurers as set forth herein shall be credited to their next
statement of account. 

  

	C.	If the above reasonable evidence is insufficient and not in accordance with this Article, within that ten (10) day period, the Reinsurer shall advise the Company of any failure to comply with this Article with
particularity. The Company shall respond promptly to such identified deficiency and provide the Reinsurer with any response necessary to remedy the deficiency. Upon receipt of the Company’s response, the Reinsurer shall promptly pay the amount
due. 

  

	D.	The Company shall have the right to settle all claims under its Policies. All loss settlements made by the Company whether under strict Policy conditions or by way of compromise, that are Business Covered and that are
not an Ex-gratia Settlement shall be final and binding subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract. The Reinsurer shall be subject to the liability of the Company to the extent provided in this
Contract and shall pay or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such settlement in accordance with this Contract all amounts for which it is obligated. The Company shall be the sole judge as to what shall constitute one risk.

  

	E.	“Ex-gratia Settlements”, as used in this Contract, will mean all settlements of losses not arguably covered under the express terms of the Policies that are primarily
motivated by the customer business relationship. “Ex-gratia Settlements” will not include settlements of losses which (1) arise from court decisions or other judicial acts or orders nor
(2) settlements made to avoid costs that could be incurred in connection with potential or actual litigation relating to coverage issues arising under the Policies. 

 

	F.	The Company shall be the sole judge as to: 

  

	 	1.	What constitutes a claim or loss covered under any Policy; 

  

	 	2.	The Company’s liability thereunder; 

  

	 	3.	The amount or amounts the Company shall pay thereunder. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	7	 	FINAL

 

 
  
 The Reinsurer shall be bound by the judgment of the
Company as to the obligation(s) and liability(ies) of the Company under any Policy. 
 ARTICLE 10 

EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS/LOSS EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS 
  

	A.	“Extra-Contractual Obligations” means those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract, other than Loss Excess of Policy Limits, including but not limited to compensatory,
consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages together with any legal costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, paid as damages or in settlement by the Company arising from an allegation or claim of its insured, its insured’s
assignee, or other third party, which alleges negligence, gross negligence, bad faith or other tortious conduct on the part of the Company in the handling, adjustment, rejection, defense or settlement of a claim under a Policy that is Business
Covered. 

  

	B.	“Loss Excess of Policy Limits” means any amount of loss, together with any legal costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, paid as damages or in settlement by the Company in excess of its Policy
Limits, but otherwise within the coverage terms of the Policy, arising from an allegation or claim of its insured, its insured’s assignee, or other third party, which alleges negligence, gross negligence, bad faith or other tortious conduct on
the part of the Company in the handling of a claim under a Policy or bond that is the Business Covered, in rejecting a settlement within the Policy Limits, in discharging a duty to defend or prepare the defense 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the decision by the Company to settle a claim for an amount within the coverage of the Policy but not within the Policy
Limit when the Company has reasonable basis to believe that it may have legal liability to its insured or assignee or other third party on the claim will be deemed a Loss Excess of Policy Limits. A reasonable basis shall mean it is more likely than
not a trial would result in a verdict excess of the Policy Limits, in the opinion of counsel assigned to defend the insured or otherwise retained by the Company. 

  

	C.	An Extra-Contractual Obligation or a Loss Excess of Policy Limits shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered under the Company’s original Policy and shall be considered part of the
original loss (subject to other terms of this Contract). 

  

	D.	Neither an Extra-Contractual Obligation nor a Loss Excess of Policy Limits shall include a loss incurred by the Company as the result of any fraudulent or criminal act, as finally adjudicated by a court, by any
executive officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense, or settlement of any claim under this Contract. 

 

	E.	The Company shall be indemnified in accordance with this Article to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

ARTICLE 11 
 SALVAGE AND
SUBROGATION 
  

	A.	 The Reinsurers shall be subrogated, as respects any loss for which the Reinsurers shall actually pay or become
obligated, but only to the extent of the amount of payment by or the amount of liability to the Reinsurers, to all the rights of the Company against any person or other entity who may be legally responsible for damages as a result of said loss. The
Company shall enforce such rights, but in the event that the Company elects or neglects to do so, the 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	8	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	 	Reinsurers are hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or its Policyholders, or otherwise to enforce such rights, but only after obtaining the prior consent of the
Company. The Reinsurers shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of any recovery obtained net of the expenses sustained in such an action in excess of the amount of payment by, or the amount of liability to, the Reinsurers hereunder.

  

	B.	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation will always be used to reimburse any excess reinsurers (and the Company should it carry a portion of excess coverage net) before being used in any way to reimburse the
Company and the Reinsurer hereon, who will share pro-rata in any remainder. 

ARTICLE 12 
 ERRORS AND
OMISSIONS 
 Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and conditions of this Contract shall not be held to relieve either
party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such error, omission or delay had not been made, provided such error, omission or delay is rectified immediately upon discovery. 

ARTICLE 13 
 CURRENCY

 Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars
and all transactions under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars. Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date such transaction is entered on
the books of the Company. 
 ARTICLE 14 

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX AND OTHER TAXES 
  

	A.	In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company undertakes not to claim any deduction of the premium hereon when making Canadian tax returns or when making tax returns, other than Income
or Profits Tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or to the District of Columbia. Furthermore, the Company is responsible for the payment of any and all bonds, bureaus, assessments and fees that may be due, including
self-procurement or direct placement tax. 

  

					
	B.	 	1.	    	Each Reinsurer has agreed to allow, for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax, the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to
Federal Excise Tax. Should the Reinsurer claim exempt status from Federal Excise Tax, it shall provide to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the rules as imposed in the Internal Revenue Code and any
other applicable U.S. government authority.
			
		 	2.	    	In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage of the premium from the amount of the return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the Tax from
the U.S. Government.
			
		 	3.	    	As respects premiums ceded to the Reinsurer under this Contract, the Reinsurer agrees to indemnify the Company for any liability, expense, interest, or penalty it may incur by reason of the Reinsurer’s breach of this
Article.

  

					
	USN170000939	 	9	 	FINAL

 

 
  
 ARTICLE 15 

FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (“FATCA”) 
  

	A.	Each Reinsurer hereby acknowledges the requirements of Sections 1471-1474 US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued from time to time thereunder
(“FATCA”) and the obligation of each of them to provide to the Intermediary a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W8-BEN-E, W-9 or other documentation meeting the requirements of the FATCA regulations to establish they are not subject to any withholding requirement pursuant to FATCA (the “Required Documentation”).

  

	B.	Furthermore: 

  

	 	1.	If a Reinsurer becomes non-compliant with FATCA during the Contract period or has not provided the Intermediary with the Required Documentation fourteen (14) days prior to
any reinsurance premium due date, the Withholding Agent (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-1(b)(147)) shall withhold thirty percent (30%) of the reinsurance premium (to the extent all or a
portion of that reinsurance premium is subject to withholding pursuant to FATCA) due to that Reinsurer under this Contract on that reinsurance premium due date and shall promptly notify that Reinsurer via the Intermediary. 

 

	 	2.	The withholding of reinsurance premium by virtue of 1. above shall not be, and shall not be treated by the Reinsurer as a breach of any reinsurance premium payment condition, warranty or other clause whether or not
entitling the Reinsurer to cancel, terminate or restrict this Contract, refuse, restrict or delay payment of any claim or invoke any interest, penalty or other late payment provision. The Reinsurer shall be liable under this Contract as if no such
withholding had been made. 

  

	 	3.	The Reinsurer shall not recoup sums withheld under 1. above by deducting equivalent sums from any payments due to the Company or by set off against any other sums owed by the Reinsurer and any general or contractual
right of set-off enjoyed by the Reinsurer is hereby varied and qualified to that extent. 

  

	 	4.	Where reinsurance premium is withheld in error, has not yet been paid to the IRS and the underwriter has been paid only the net reinsurance premium following such withholding, the Intermediary will cooperate with the
Reinsurer to process the requisite refund. 

 ARTICLE 16 

ACCESS TO RECORDS 
  

	A.	The Company shall place at the disposal of the Reinsurer at all reasonable times, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to inspect (and make reasonable copies) through its designated representatives, all non-privileged books, records and papers of the Company directly related to any reinsurance hereunder, or the subject matter hereof, provided that if the Reinsurer is a
Run-Off Reinsurer this right of access shall be subject to that Reinsurer being current in all payments owed the Company that are not currently the subject of a dispute. For the purposes of this Article, “non-privileged” refers to books, records and papers that are not subject to the Attorney-client privilege and Attorney-work product doctrine. The term “dispute” shall be as defined consistent
with the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions. In the event an arbitration has been demanded, the right of access and audit shall be only allowed as determined by the arbitration Board. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	10	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	B.	“Attorney-client privilege” and “Attorney-work product” shall have the meanings ascribed to each by statute and/or the court of final adjudication in the jurisdiction whose laws govern the
substantive law of a claim arising under a Policy reinsured under this Contract. 

  

	C.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Reinsurer’s access to privileged documents in connection with the underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or
final adjudication of the case or cases involving such claim; provided that the Company may defer release of such privileged documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that claim or similar claims,
which might jeopardize the Company’s defense by release of such privileged documents. In the event the Company shall seek to defer release of such privileged documents, it will, in consultation with the Reinsurer, take other steps as reasonably
necessary to provide the Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to evaluate exposure, establish reserves or indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privileges. The Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to privileged
documents relating to any dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer. Furthermore, in the event the Reinsurer demonstrates a need for information contained in privileged documents prior to the resolution of the underlying claim, the Company will
endeavor to undertake steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privilege. 

ARTICLE 17 
 RESERVES

  

	A.	If, at any time during the period of this Contract and thereafter the reinsurance provided by a Reinsurer participating in this Contract does not qualify for full statutory accounting credit for reinsurance by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company (whether by reason of lack of license, accreditation or otherwise) such that a financial penalty to the Company would result on any statutory statement or report the Company is required to
make or file with insurance regulatory authorities (or a court of law in the event of insolvency), the Reinsurer shall secure the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations for which such full statutory credit is not granted by those authorities under
this Contract in a manner, form, and amount acceptable to the Company and to all applicable insurance regulatory authorities in accordance with this Article. 

  

	B.	The Reinsurer shall secure such Obligations, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Company’s written request regarding the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations under this Contract (but not later

	 	1.	Clean, irrevocable, and unconditional evergreen letter(s) of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the applicable insurance regulatory authorities, by a qualified United States financial
institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state and acceptable to the Company and to insurance regulatory authorities; 

  

	 	2.	A trust account meeting at least the standards of New York’s Insurance Regulation 114 and the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state; or 

 

	 	3.	Cash advances or funds withheld or a combination of both, which will be under the exclusive control of the Company (“Funds Deposit”). 

 

	C.	The “Obligations” referred to herein means, subject to the preceding paragraphs, the then current (as of the end of each calendar quarter) sum of any: 

 

	 	1.	amount of ceded unearned premium reserve for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company; 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	11	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	 	2.	amount of Net Losses, including any Loss Adjustment Expenses, and other amounts paid by the Company for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company but has not yet paid;

	 	4.	amount of return and refund premiums paid by the Company for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company but has not yet paid. 

 

	D.	The Company, or its successors in interest, may draw, at any time and from time to time, upon the: 

  

	 	1.	Established letter of credit (or subsequent cash deposit); 

  

	 	2.	Established trust account (or subsequent cash deposit); or 

  

	 	3.	Funds Deposit; 

 without diminution or restriction because of the insolvency of either the Company or the
Reinsurer for one or more of the following purposes set forth below. 
  

	E.	Draws shall be made only for the following purposes: 

  

	 	1.	To make payment to and reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of Net Loss, including any Loss Adjustment Expense, and other amounts paid by the Company under its Policies and for which the Reinsurer is
responsible under this Contract that is due to the Company but unpaid by the Reinsurer including but not limited to the Reinsurer’s share of premium refunds and returns; and 

 

	 	2.	To obtain a cash advance of the entire amount of the remaining balance under any letter of credit in the event that the Company: 

  

	 	a.	has received notice of non-renewal or expiration of the letter of credit or trust account; 

  

	 	b.	has not received assurances satisfactory to the Company of any required increase in the amount of the letter of credit or trust account, or its replacement or other continuation of the letter of credit or trust account
at least thirty (30) days before its stated expiration date; 

  

	 	c.	has been made aware that others may attempt to attach or otherwise place in jeopardy the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account; or 

 

	 	d.	has concluded that the trustee or issuing (or confirming) bank’s financial condition is such that the value of the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account may be in jeopardy;

 and under any of those circumstances set forth in E(2)(a) through E(2)(d) above, where the Reinsurer’s entire Obligations, or part
thereof, under this Contract remain un-liquidated and un-discharged at least thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date or at the time the Company learns
of the possible jeopardy to the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	12	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	F.	If the Company draws on the letter of credit or trust account to obtain a cash advance, the Company will hold the amount of the cash advance so obtained in the name of the Company in any qualified United States
financial institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state in trust solely to secure the Obligations referred to above and for the use and purposes enumerated above and to return any balance thereof to the
Reinsurer: 

  

	 	1.	Upon the complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Reinsurer’s Obligations to the Company under this Contract; or 

 

	 	2.	In the event the Reinsurer subsequently provides alternate or replacement security consistent with the terms hereof and acceptable to the Company. 

 

	G.	The Company will prepare and forward at annual intervals or more frequently as determined by the Company, but not more frequently than quarterly to the Reinsurer a statement for the purposes of this Article, showing the
Reinsurer’s share of Obligations as set forth above. If the Reinsurer’s share thereof exceeds the then existing balance of the security provided, the Reinsurer will, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Company’s statement,
but never later than December 31 of any year, increase the amount of the letter of credit, (or subsequent cash deposit), trust account or Funds Deposit to the required amount of the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations set forth in the
Company’s statement, but never later than December 31 of any year. If the Reinsurer’s share thereof is less than the then existing balance of the security provided, the Company will release the excess thereof to the Reinsurer upon the
Reinsurer’s written request. The Reinsurer will not attempt to prevent the Company from holding the cash advance or Funds Deposit so long as the Company is acting in accordance with this Article. The Company shall pay interest earned on the
deposited amounts to the Reinsurers as the parties shall have agreed at the time of the deposit. 

  

	H.	Any assets deposited to a trust account will be valued according to their current fair market value and will consist only of cash (U.S. legal tender), certificates of deposit issued by a qualified United States
financial institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state and payable in cash and investments of the types no less conservative than those specified in Section 1404 (a)(1)(2)(3)(8) and (10) of the New
York Insurance Law and which are admitted assets under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state. Investments issued by the parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of either the Company or the Reinsurer will not be eligible investments. All
assets so deposited will be accompanied by all necessary assignments, endorsements in blank, or transfer of legal title to the trustee in order that the Company may negotiate any such assets without the requirement of consent or signature from the
Reinsurer or any other entity. 

  

	I.	All settlements of account between the Company and the Reinsurer will be made in cash or its equivalent. All income earned and received by the amount held in an established trust account will be added to the principal.

  

	J.	The Company’s “successors in interest” will include those by operation of law, including without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator. 

 

	K.	The Reinsurer will take any other reasonable steps that may be required for the Company to take full credit on its statutory financial statements for the reinsurance provided by this Contract. 

ARTICLE 18 
 SERVICE OF
SUIT

by insurance regulatory authorities. 

  

	B.	 This Article shall not be read to conflict with or override the obligations of the parties to arbitrate their
disputes as provided for in the Article entitled ARBITRATION. This Article is 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	13	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	 	intended as an aid to compelling arbitration or enforcing such arbitration or arbitral award, not as an alternative to the Article entitled ARBITRATION for resolving disputes arising out of this Contract.

  

					
	USN170000939	 	14	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	C.	In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to perform its obligations hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United
States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States
District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally
chosen by the Company and accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against the
Reinsurer upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal. 

  

	D.	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Reinsurer’s signature page
attached hereto. The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit. 

  

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

ARTICLE 19 
 ARBITRATION 

  

	A.	Any and all disputes between the Company and the Reinsurer arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract including its formation or validity whether sounding in contract or tort and whether arising during or
after termination of this Contract, shall be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of two (2) arbitrators and an umpire (“Board”) meeting at a site in the city in which the principal headquarters of the Company
are located. The arbitration shall be conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act and shall proceed as set forth below. 

  

	B.	A notice requesting arbitration, or any other notice made in connection therewith, shall be in writing and be sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to the affected parties. The notice requesting
arbitration shall state in particular all issues to be resolved in the view of the claimant, shall appoint the arbitrator selected by the claimant and shall set a tentative date for the hearing, which date shall be no sooner than ninety
(90) days and no later than one hundred fifty (150) days from the date that the notice requesting arbitration is mailed. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of claimant’s notice, the respondent shall notify claimant of any
additional issues to be resolved in the arbitration and of the name of its appointed arbitrator. 

  

	C.	 The members of the Board shall be impartial, disinterested and not currently representing any party participating
in the arbitration, and shall be current or former senior officers of insurance or reinsurance concerns, experienced in the line(s) of business that are the subject of this Contract. The Company and the Reinsurer as aforesaid shall each appoint an
arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. As time is of the essence, if the respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after having received claimant’s
written request for arbitration, the claimant is authorized to and shall appoint the second arbitrator. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an umpire within thirty (30) days after notification of the
appointment of the second arbitrator, within ten (10) days thereof, the two (2) arbitrators shall apply ARIAS U.S. (“ARIAS”) procedures to 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	15	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	 	appoint an umpire for the arbitration with the qualifications set forth above in this Article. If the use of ARIAS procedures fails to name an umpire, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint an umpire with the above required qualifications. The umpire shall promptly notify in writing all parties to the arbitration of his selection and of the scheduled date for the hearing. Upon resignation or death of any member of the Board, a
replacement shall be appointed in the same fashion as the resigning or deceased member was appointed. 

  

	D.	The claimant and respondent shall each submit initial briefs to the Board outlining the facts, the issues in dispute and the basis, authority, and reasons for their respective positions within thirty (30) days of
the date of notice of appointment of the umpire. The claimant and the respondent may submit a reply brief to the Board within ten (10) days after filing of the initial brief(s). Initial and reply briefs may be amended by the submitting party at
any time, but not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of commencement of the arbitration hearing. Reasonable responses shall be allowed at the arbitration hearing to new material contained in any amendments filed to the briefs but not
previously responded to. 

  

	E.	The Board shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement and shall make a decision and award with regard to the terms expressed in this Contract, the original intentions of the parties to the extent reasonably
ascertainable, and the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance business that is the subject of this Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, the Board shall have the right and obligation to consider underwriting and
submission-related documents in any dispute between the parties. 

  

	F.	The Board shall be relieved of all judicial formalities and the decision and award shall be based upon a hearing in which evidence shall be allowed though the formal rules of evidence shall not strictly apply.
Cross-examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. The Board may request a post-hearing brief to be submitted within twenty (20) days of the close of the hearing. 

 

	G.	The Board shall render its decision and award in writing within thirty (30) days following the close of the hearing or the submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later, unless the parties consent to an
extension. Every decision by the Board shall be by a majority of the members of the Board and each decision and award by the majority of the members of the Board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding. Such decision shall be a
condition precedent to any right of legal action arising out of the arbitrated dispute which either party may have against the other. However, the Board is not authorized to award punitive, exemplary or enhanced compensatory damages.

  

	H.	The Board may award: (i) interest at a rate not in excess of that set forth in the Article entitled LATE PAYMENTS, calculated from the date the Board determines that any amounts due the prevailing
party should have been paid to the prevailing party, and (ii) applicable Attorneys’ fees and costs. 

  

	I.	Either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order confirming any decision and the award; a judgment of that Court shall thereupon be entered on any decision or award. If such an order is issued,
the Attorneys’ fees of the party so applying and court costs will be paid by the party against whom confirmation is sought. 

  

	J.	Except in the event of a consolidated arbitration, unless otherwise determined by the Board each party shall bear the expense of the one arbitrator appointed by or for it and shall jointly and equally bear with the
other party the expense of any stenographer requested, and of the umpire. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be finally allocated by the Board. 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	16	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	K.	Subject to customary and recognized legal rules of privilege, each party participating in the arbitration shall have the obligation to produce those documents and as witnesses at the arbitration those of its employees,
and those of its affiliates as any other participating party reasonably requests, providing always that the same witnesses and documents be obtainable and relevant to the issues before the arbitration and not be unduly burdensome or excessive in the
opinion of the Board. 

  

	L.	The parties may mutually agree as to pre-hearing discovery prior to the arbitration hearing and in the absence of agreement, upon the request of any party, pre-hearing discovery may be conducted as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and in furtherance of a prompt hearing, decision and award by the Board.

  

	M.	The Board shall be the final judge of the composition of the Board, the procedures of the Board, the conduct of the arbitration, of the rules of evidence, the rules of privilege, discovery and production and of
excessiveness and relevancy of any witnesses and documents upon the petition of any participating party. To the extent permitted by law, the Board shall have the authority to issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce their decisions. The Board
shall also have the authority to issue interim decisions, awards or costs in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and a prompt and orderly hearing and decision and award by the Board. 

 

	N.	Upon request made to the Board not later than ten (10) days after the umpire’s appointment, the Board may order a consolidated hearing as respects common issues between the Company and all affected Reinsurers
participating in this Contract if the Board is satisfied in its discretion that the issues in dispute affect more than one Reinsurer and a consolidated hearing would be in the interest of fairness, and a prompt and cost-effective resolution of the
issues in dispute. 

  

	O.	If the parties mutually agree to or the Board orders a consolidated hearing, all other affected participating Reinsurers shall join and participate in the arbitration under time frames established by the Board and will
be bound by the Board’s decision and award unless excused by the Board in its discretion. A consolidated hearing shall not result in any change or modification of any Reinsurer’s liability for its participation, that is several, but not
joint shall remain the same. 

  

	P.	Any Reinsurer may decline to actively participate in a consolidated arbitration if in advance of the hearing, that Reinsurer shall file with the Board a written agreement in form satisfactory to the Board to be bound by
the decision and award of the Board in the same fashion and to the same degree as if it actively participated in the arbitration. 

  

	Q.	In the event of an order of consolidation by the Board, the arbitrator appointed by the original Reinsurer shall be subject to being, and may be, replaced within thirty (30) days of the decision to have a
consolidated arbitration by an arbitrator named collectively by the Reinsurers or in the absence of agreement, by the Lead Reinsurer, or if there is no Lead Reinsurer involved in the dispute, the Reinsurer with the largest participation in this
Contract affected by the dispute. In the event two (2) or more Reinsurers affected by the dispute each have the same largest participation, they shall agree among themselves as to the replacement arbitrator, if any, to be appointed. The umpire
shall be the final determiner in the event of any dispute over replacement of that arbitrator. All other aspects of the arbitration shall be conducted as provided for in this Article provided that (1) each party actively participating in the
consolidated arbitration will have the right to its own attorney, position, and related claims and defenses; (2) each party will not, in presenting its position, be prevented from presenting its position by the position set forth by any other
party; and (3) the cost and expense of the arbitration including the expense of any stenographer, will be borne equally by each party actively participating in the consolidated arbitration (exclusive of Attorney’s fees, which will be borne
by the respective retaining party unless otherwise determined by the Board) or as the Board shall determine to be fair and appropriate under the circumstances. 

  

	R.	Nothing in this Article shall preclude any of the parties engaged in an arbitration from settling the dispute and withdrawing from an arbitration established to resolve that dispute.

 ARTICLE 20 

EXPEDITED ARBITRATION 
 In the event that either
party demands arbitration of a dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer, and the amount in dispute is less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), unless the arbitration notice includes a demand for rescission of this Contract,
notwithstanding the terms of the Article entitled ARBITRATION, the dispute shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator and the following procedures shall apply: 
  

	 	1.	The sole arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties within fifteen (15) business days after the demand for arbitration. If the parties have not chosen an arbitrator within the fifteen
(15) business days after the receipt of the arbitration notice, the arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the Neutral Arbitrator Selection Procedure modified for a single arbitrator, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance
Arbitration Society – U.S. (ARIAS) and in force on the date the arbitration is demanded. The nominated arbitrator must be available to read any written submissions and hear testimony within sixty (60) calendar days of being chosen.

  

	 	2.	Within ten (10) business days after the arbitrator has been appointed, the parties shall be notified of deadlines for the submission of briefs and documentary evidence, as determined by the arbitrator. There shall
be no discovery or hearing unless the parties agree to engage in limited discovery and/or a hearing. Also, the arbitrator can determine, without the consent of the parties, that a limited discovery and/or a limited hearing is necessary.

  

	 	3.	The arbitrator shall render a decision within ten (10) business days after the latter of the date on which briefs are submitted or the end of the limited hearing. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing
and shall be final and binding on both parties. 

  

	 	4.	Each party shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the arbitrator. The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the arbitrator. The arbitrator 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. However, the arbitrator may not award any exemplary or punitive damages. 

ARTICLE 21 
 INSOLVENCY

  

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

  

					
	USN170000939	 	18	 	FINAL

 

 
  
  

	B.	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance (or the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, if required by applicable law) shall be payable directly to the Company, or to its
liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, either: (1) on the basis of the liability of the Company, or (2) on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable
statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company indicating the Policy or bond reinsured, which claim would involve a possible liability on the part
of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own
expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken
by the Reinsurer. 

  

	C.	Where two (2) 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 reinsurance
Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company. 

  

	D.	As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver,
conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Section 4118(a)(1)(A) of the New York Insurance Law, provided the conditions of 1114(c) of such law have been met, if New York law applies) or except (1) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Reinsurer, with the consent of the direct insured or insureds, has assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to
the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of
Financial Services of the State of New York, or with the prior approval of such other regulatory authority as may be applicable, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer shall pay any loss directly to payees under such Policy.

 ARTICLE 22 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	A.	The information, data, statements, representations and other materials provided by the Company or the Reinsurer to the other arising from consideration and participation in this Contract whether contained in the
reinsurance submission, this Contract, or in materials or discussions arising from or related to this Contract, constitutes confidential or proprietary information unless expressly indicated otherwise by the Disclosing Party (“Disclosing

PRIVACY & PROTECTION OF DATA 
  

	A.	The Company and the Reinsurer represent that they are aware of and in compliance with their responsibilities and obligations under applicable laws and regulations pertaining to
Non-Public Personal Information and Protected Health Information (hereinafter “NPPI” and “PHI”, respectively). For the purpose of this Contract,
“Non-Public Personal Information” and “Protected Health Information” shall mean financial or health information that identifies an individual, including claimants under Policies reinsured

 ARTICLE 24 

LATE PAYMENTS  
  

	A.	Payments from the Reinsurer to the Company have a due date as expressed in the Article entitled REPORTS, LOSS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS. Payment not received within ten (10) days of the due date shall be
deemed overdue (the “Overdue Date”). Payments due from the Reinsurer to the Company will not be considered overdue if the Reinsurer requests, in writing, that such payment be made by drawing on a letter of credit or other similar method of
funding that has been established for this Contract, provided that there is an adequate balance in place, and further provided that such advice to draw is received by the Company by the Overdue Date. Payments from the Company to the Reinsurer will
have a due date as the date specified in this Contract and will be overdue thirty (30) days thereafter. Premium adjustments will be overdue thirty (30) days from the Contract due date or one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration or renewal date, whichever is greater. 

  

	B.	If payment is made of overdue amounts within thirty (30) days of the Overdue Date, overdue amounts will bear simple interest from the due date at a rate determined by the annualized one month London Interbank
Offered Rate for the first business day of the calendar month in which the amount becomes overdue, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus two hundred (200) basis points to be calculated weekly. If payment is made of overdue amounts more
than thirty (30) days after the Overdue Date, overdue amounts will bear simple interest from the due date at a rate determined by the annualized one month London Interbank Offered Rate for the first business day of the calendar month in which
the amount becomes overdue, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus four hundred (400) basis points to be calculated on a weekly basis, but in no event less than eight percent (8%) simple interest. If the sum of the compensating
additional amount computed in respect of any overdue payment is less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount overdue, or one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is greater, and/or the overdue period is one week or less, then the
interest amount shall be waived. The basis point standards referred to above shall be doubled if the payment is due from a Reinsurer who is no longer an active reinsurance market. Interest shall cease to accrue upon the party’s payment of an
overdue amount to the Intermediary. 

 ARTICLE 25 

OFFSET  
 The Company and the Reinsurer shall have
the right to offset any balance or amounts due as billed from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due as billed are on account of
premiums or losses or otherwise and immediately inform the Intermediary accordingly. In the event of the insolvency of any party, offset shall be as permitted by applicable insolvency or liquidation law. 

ARTICLE 26 
 SPECIAL

	 	2.	The Reinsurer has filed a plan to enter into a Scheme of Arrangement or similar procedure affecting the Business Covered under this Contract. “Scheme of Arrangement” is defined as a legislative or regulatory
process that provides a solvent Reinsurer the opportunity to settle its Obligations with the Company either (i) without the Company’s unrestrained consent or (ii) prior to the Company having the ability to determine, with exact

	 	3.	The Reinsurer has: a) become insolvent, b) been placed under supervision (voluntarily or involuntarily), c) been placed into liquidation or receivership, or d) had instituted against it proceedings for the appointment

	 	4.	A reduction in the Reinsurer’s surplus, risk-based capital or financial strength rating occurs:

of PHS pursuant to the most recent publicly available figure at the inception of this Contract or twenty percent (20%) of the amount of PHS stated in its last filed quarterly or annual statutory statement with its state of domicile; or (ii) the
Reinsurer’s total adjusted capital is less than two hundred percent (200%) of its authorized control level risk-based capital; or (iii) the Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s insurer financial strength rating or its Standard &
Poor’s Insurance Rating becomes less than “A-”; or 

  

	 	b.	As respects Reinsurers domiciled outside the United States of America, other than Lloyd’s Syndicates (i) the Reinsurer’s Capital & Surplus (“C&S”) has been involuntarily reduced by,

its local regulatory authority; or (ii) as respects Lloyd’s Syndicates, the Reinsurer’s total stamp capacity has been reduced by more than twenty five percent (25%) of the amount of total stamp capacity which stood at the inception of
this Contract. (This provision does not apply to any Lloyd’s Syndicate that voluntarily reduces its total stamp capacity.) or (iii) the Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s insurer financial strength rating or its Standard &
Poor’s Insurance Rating becomes less than “A-”; or 

  

	 	5.	The Reinsurer has entered into a definitive agreement to: 

  

	 	a.	become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company, corporation or individual(s) not controlling or affiliated with the party’s operations previously; or 

 

	 	b.	directly or indirectly assign all or essentially all of its entire liability for Obligations under this Contract to another party, other than with affiliated companies with substantially the same or greater net worth,
without the Company’s prior written consent; or 

  

	 	6.	There is either a: 

  

	 	a.	severance or obstruction of free and unfettered communication and/or normal commercial or financial intercourse between the United States of America and the country in which the Reinsurer is incorporated or has its

chief executive officer, chief underwriting officer, chief actuary, or chief financial officer. This condition does not apply whenever the severance in employment is for the publicly announced purpose of the individual’s assuming within thirty
(30) days a known position with another identified firm in the (re)insurance or financial services industry.

	B.	In the event that notice of termination is given by reason of an event described in A(4) above (the “Termination Notice”) and prior to the effective date of the termination (the “Termination Date”),
the chief financial officer of the Reinsurer represents and certifies in writing to the Company that (i) the deterioration of the Reinsurer’s financial condition is the direct and sole result of a recent major property catastrophe(s) or
the result of an Act(s) of Terrorism (either the “Event”) and (ii) that it is actively seeking and has a high probability of successfully obtaining additional capital to substantially replace the capital loss because of the Event (the
“Extension Notice”), the Termination Date shall be extended an additional thirty (30) days from the Termination Date (the “Extended Termination Date”). If prior to the Extended Termination Date, the chief financial officer
of the Reinsurer represents and certifies in writing to the Company that (a) it has raised sufficient capital so as to return its PHS or C&S to within five percent (5%) of the Reinsurer’s PHS or C&S last filed with its domiciliary
regulatory authorities prior to the Event, (b) obtained reinstatement of its rating agency grade(s) to the level as existed immediately prior to the Event, and (c) as respects Reinsurers domiciled in the United States of America, raised
its adjusted capital to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of its authorized control level risk-based capital, the Termination Notice shall be null and void. Otherwise, this Contract shall terminate on the Extended Termination Date in the
manner described in the Termination Notice. 

  

	C.	In the event the Company elects to terminate this Contract on a Cut-Off basis and to commute Obligations relating to this Contract, the Reinsurer shall return the sum total of the
net present value (“capitalized”) of the ceded (1) Net Loss Reserves, (2) Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves, (3) Incurred But Not Reported Reserve, and (4) Unearned Premium Reserve (after deduction for any ceding
commission allowed thereon). In the event the parties are unable to agree on the capitalized value of the reserves to be returned to the Company, the Company and the Reinsurer shall jointly appoint an independent and neutral actuary experienced in
such matters and the mutually agreed actuary shall render a decision. In the event that the Company and the Reinsurer are unable to agree upon a single actuary within thirty (30) days, the parties shall ask the then current President of any
Casualty Actuarial Society to appoint an actuary with those qualifications within another thirty (30) days. If the selected President of the Casualty Actuarial Society is unable or declines to do so, the parties shall request a Federal or State
judge of a court of competent jurisdiction to make the appointment from a list of six (6) neutral nominees submitted by the parties jointly. The decision of the actuary will be final and binding on both parties. The Company and the Reinsurer
shall share equally the fees and expenses of the actuary. Upon payment of the amount so agreed or determined by the actuary to the Company, the Reinsurer and the Company shall each be completely released from all liability to each other under this
Contract. 

  

	D.	 If the Reinsurer is not otherwise obligated under the Article entitled RESERVES to provide the
Company security in order for the Company to obtain credit for the reinsurance provided by this Contract and the Reinsurer has not cured the conditions described above, other than as expressed in conditions A(5) and A(6) above, the Company shall
also have the option, if it does not elect the commutation option described above, to require the Reinsurer to provide the Company with collateral funding as if the Reinsurer were otherwise obligated to provide security for the Reinsurer’s
Obligations under this Contract in an amount and manner and as provided for under the Article entitled RESERVES. The Company shall have the option to require the Reinsurer to provide collateral funding but, provided it is reasonably
acceptable to 

  

					
	USN170000939	 	23	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	 	the Company and any insurance regulatory authorities involved, the Reinsurer shall have the sole option of determining the method of funding referred to above. In recognition of security a participating Reinsurer or
Lloyd’s Syndicate may place under the terms of a master trust agreement, such as the U.S. Lloyd’s Credit for Reinsurance Trust, the provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to that participating Reinsurer or Lloyd’s Syndicate that
has fully funded one hundred percent (100%) of the Obligations to the Company, as the term Obligations is defined in the Article entitled RESERVES, pursuant to the terms of that trust agreement and the applicable funding requirements
and procedures. 

 ARTICLE 27 

TERRORISM RECOVERY  
  

	A.	Any financial assistance the Company receives from the government of the United States of America under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, including the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Acts of 2007 and 2015, and any subsequent amendment to the Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”) shall apply as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Except as provided in subparagraph 2 below, any such financial assistance shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and shall be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions of this Contract.

  

	 	2.	If Loss Occurrences hereunder result in recoveries made by the Company both under this Contract and under the Act, and such recoveries, together with any other reinsurance recoveries made by the Company applicable to
said Loss Occurrences, exceed the amount permitted by the Act, any amount in excess thereof shall be paid to the Reinsurer. The payment of the excess amount to the Reinsurer shall be an amount equal to the proportion that the Reinsurer’s
payment of losses eligible for reimbursement under the Act bears to the Company’s total collected reinsurance recoverables for such Insured Losses. 

  

	B.	If the financial assistance provided under the Act is based on the Company’s Insured Losses in more than one Loss Occurrence and the Act and/or the government of the United States of America does not designate the
amount allocable to each Loss Occurrence, the Act’s financial assistance shall be prorated in the proportion that the Company’s Insured Losses in each Loss Occurrence bear to the Company’s total Insured Losses arising out of all Loss
Occurrences to which the Act’s financial assistance applies. If, as a result of such Act, the loss to the Reinsurer under this Contract in any one Loss Occurrence is less than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer under this
Contract, the Company shall promptly remit the difference to the Reinsurer. 

  

	C.	The method set forth herein for determining an excess recovery is intended to be consistent with the United States Treasury Department’s construction and application of Section 103(g)(2) of the Act. To the extent
it is inconsistent, it shall be amended to conform with such construction and application, nevertheless the Company shall be the sole judge as to the allocation of recoveries under the Act to this or to other reinsurance Contracts.

  

	D.	“Company” shall have the same meaning as “Insurer” under the Act and “Insured Losses” shall follow the definition as provided in the Act.

DEFINITION OF LOSS OCCURRENCE 
  

	A.	Except as otherwise provided herein, the term “Loss Occurrence” or “Occurrence” shall be as defined in the Policy and if not so defined, shall mean an accident, incident, disaster, casualty, error,
omission, wrongful act or happening, or series of accidents, incidents, disasters, casualties, errors, omissions, wrongful acts or happenings arising out of or following from an event. Any Claims Made under an extended reporting period endorsement
or any other extended reporting and/or discovery period shall for the purposes of this Contract be considered to be made on the last day of the Policy period immediately preceding the extended reporting and/or discovery period. 

 

	B.	Notwithstanding Paragraph A. above, as respects Liquor Liability business, “Loss Occurrence” shall mean each disaster or casualty or a series of disasters or casualties arising out of an event and having a
Common Cause. 

  

	C.	“Common Cause” shall mean an injury or injuries sustained by one or more persons or organizations as the result of the selling, serving or furnishing or any alcoholic beverage to any one person, regardless of
the number of Policies or insureds are involved. 

  

	D.	Except where specifically provided otherwise in this Contract, each Loss Occurrence shall be deemed to take place in its entirety as of the earliest date of loss as determined by any Policy issued by the Company
responding to the Loss Occurrence. 

  

	E.	As respects losses arising from Occupational Disease or Other Disease or Cumulative Trauma suffered by a single employee, and not covered under Paragraph A. above, the date that the Loss Occurrence commences shall be
determined as follows: 

  

	 	1.	If the case is compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law, the date of the beginning of the disability for which compensation is payable. 

 

	 	2.	If the case is not compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law, the date that disability due to said disease actually began. 

 

	 	3.	If the claim is made after employment has ceased, the date of cessation of such employment. 

 For the purposes
of this paragraph, such Occupational Disease or Other Disease or Cumulative Trauma suffered by a single employee shall not be covered unless as a result of a sudden and accidental event of not more than seventy two (72) hours’ duration.

	F.	As respects losses arising from Occupational Disease or Other Disease or Cumulative Trauma of the same specific kind or class, suffered by multiple employees of the same employer, all such losses sustained by the
Company within a Policy year shall be aggregated and considered as constituting one Loss Occurrence hereunder and the inception date of the Policy year in which losses occur shall be deemed to be the date of the Loss Occurrence. 

 

	G.	“Occupational Disease or Other Disease” and “Cumulative Trauma” shall be defined by applicable state or federal statutes, regulations or case law. 

ARTICLE 8 
 NET RETAINED
LINE 
  

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

  

	B.	The amount of the 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 Reinsurers, whether specific or general,
any amounts which may have become due from such Reinsurers, whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurers or otherwise. 

  

	C.	Inter-company reinsurance among the companies collectively called the “Company” shall be entirely disregarded for all purposes of this Contract. 

ARTICLE 9 
 REPORTS, LOSS AND
LOSS SETTLEMENTS  
  

	A.	The Company shall advise the Reinsurers promptly of all Loss Occurrences which, in the opinion of the Company, may result in a claim hereunder and of all subsequent developments thereto which, in the opinion of the
Company, may materially affect the position of the Reinsurers, such advices to include any Loss Occurrence for which the Company has established a loss reserve in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s retention. Inadvertent omission or
oversight in giving such notice shall in no way affect the liability of the Reinsurers. However, the Reinsurers shall be informed of such omission or oversight promptly upon its discovery. 

 

	B.	Should payment due from the Reinsurers exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) as respects any one Net Loss, the Company may give the Reinsurers notice of payment made or its intention to make payment on a
certain date. If the Company intends to pay the loss by a certain date and has submitted a reasonably satisfactory proof of loss or similar document, payment shall be due from the Reinsurers twenty four (24) hours prior to scheduled date of
settlement, provided the Reinsurers have a period of ten (10) business days after receipt of said notice to dispatch the payment. Cash loss amounts specifically remitted by the Reinsurers as set forth herein shall be credited to their next
statement of account. 

  

	C.	If the above reasonable evidence is insufficient and not in accordance with this Article, within that ten (10) day period, the Reinsurer shall advise the Company of any failure to comply with this Article with
particularity. The Company shall respond promptly to such identified deficiency and provide the Reinsurer with any response necessary to remedy the deficiency. Upon receipt of the Company’s response, the Reinsurer shall promptly pay the amount
due. 

  

					
	USN170000946/USN170000919	 	6	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	D.	The Company shall have the right to settle all claims under its Policies. All loss settlements made by the Company whether under strict Policy conditions or by way of compromise, that are Business Covered and that are
not an Ex-gratia Settlement shall be final and binding subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract. The Reinsurer shall be subject to the liability of the Company to the extent provided in this
Contract and shall pay or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such settlement in accordance with this Contract all amounts for which it is obligated. 

  

	E.	“Ex-gratia Settlements”, as used in this Contract, will mean all settlements of losses not arguably covered under the express terms of the Policies that are primarily
motivated by the customer business relationship. “Ex-gratia Settlements” will not include settlements of losses which (1) arise from court decisions or other judicial acts or orders nor
(2) settlements made to avoid costs that could be incurred in connection with potential or actual litigation relating to coverage issues arising under the Policies. 

 

	F.	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, the Company shall be the sole judge as to: 

  

	 	1.	What constitutes a claim or loss covered under any Policy; 

  

	 	2.	The Company’s liability thereunder; 

  

	 	3.	The amount or amounts the Company shall pay thereunder. 

 The Reinsurer shall be bound by the judgment of the
Company as to the obligation(s) and liability(ies) of the Company under any Policy. 
 ARTICLE 10 

EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS/LOSS EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS  
  

	A.	“Extra-Contractual Obligations” means those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract, other than Loss Excess of Policy Limits, including but not limited to compensatory,
consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages together with any legal costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, paid as damages or in settlement by the Company arising from an allegation or claim of its insured, its insured’s
assignee, or other third party, which alleges negligence, gross negligence, bad faith or other tortious conduct on the part of the Company in the handling, adjustment, rejection, defense or settlement of a claim under a Policy that is Business
Covered. 

  

	B.	“Loss Excess of Policy Limits” means any amount of loss, together with any legal costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, paid as damages or in settlement by the Company in excess of its Policy
Limits, but otherwise within the coverage terms of the Policy, arising from an allegation or claim of its insured, its insured’s assignee, or other third party, which alleges negligence, gross negligence, bad faith or other tortious conduct on
the part of the Company in the handling of a claim under a Policy that is the Business Covered, in rejecting a settlement within the Policy Limits, in discharging a duty to defend or prepare the defense 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. For the purpose of this Definition, the word “loss” shall mean any amounts for which the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had
it not been for the limit of the original policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the decision by the Company to settle a claim for an amount within the coverage of the Policy but not within the Policy Limit when the Company has reasonable basis to
believe that it may have legal liability to its insured or assignee or other third party on the claim will be deemed a Loss Excess of Policy Limits. A reasonable basis shall mean it is more likely than not a trial would result in a verdict excess of
the Policy Limits, in the opinion of counsel assigned to defend the insured or otherwise retained by the Company. 

  

					
	USN170000946/USN170000919	 	7	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	C.	An Extra-Contractual Obligation or a Loss Excess of Policy Limits shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered under the Company’s original Policy and shall be considered part of the
original loss (subject to other terms of this Contract). 

  

	D.	Neither an Extra-Contractual Obligation nor a Loss Excess of Policy Limits shall include a loss incurred by the Company as the result of any fraudulent or criminal act, as finally adjudicated by a court, by any
executive officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense, or settlement of any claim under this Contract. 

 

	E.	The Company shall be indemnified in accordance with this Article to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

ARTICLE 11 
 SALVAGE AND
SUBROGATION 
  

	A.	The Reinsurers shall be subrogated, as respects any loss for which the Reinsurers shall actually pay or become obligated, but only to the extent of the amount of payment by or the amount of liability to the Reinsurers,
to all the rights of the Company against any person or other entity who may be legally responsible for damages as a result of said loss. The Company shall enforce such rights, but in the event that the Company elects or neglects to do so, the
Reinsurers are hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or its Policyholders, or otherwise to enforce such rights, but only after obtaining the prior consent of the Company. The Reinsurers shall
promptly remit to the Company the amount of any recovery obtained net of the expenses sustained in such an action in excess of the amount of payment by, or the amount of liability to, the Reinsurers hereunder. 

 

	B.	Amounts recovered from salvage and/or subrogation will always be used to reimburse any excess reinsurers (and the Company should it carry a portion of excess coverage net) before being used in any way to reimburse the
Company and the Reinsurer hereon, who will share pro-rata in any remainder. 

ARTICLE 12 
 ERRORS AND
OMISSIONS 
 Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and conditions of this Contract shall not be held to relieve either
party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such error, omission or delay had not been made, provided such error, omission or delay is rectified immediately upon discovery. 

ARTICLE 13 
 CURRENCY 

 Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars and
all transactions under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars. Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date such transaction is entered on the
books of the Company.

 ARTICLE 14 

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX AND OTHER TAXES  
  

	A.	In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company undertakes not to claim any deduction of the premium hereon when making Canadian tax returns or when making tax returns, other than Income
or Profits Tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or to the District of Columbia. Furthermore, the Company is responsible for the payment of any and all bonds, bureaus, assessments and fees that may be due, including
self-procurement or direct placement tax. 

  

					
	B.	 	1.	 	Each Reinsurer has agreed to allow, for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax, the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to
Federal Excise Tax. Should the Reinsurer claim exempt status from Federal Excise Tax, it shall provide to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the rules as imposed in the Internal Revenue Code.

  

	 	2.	In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage of the premium from the amount of the return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover
the Tax from the U.S. Government. 

  

	 	3.	As respects premiums ceded to the Reinsurer under this Contract, the Reinsurer agrees to indemnify the Company for any liability, expense, interest, or penalty it may incur by reason of the Reinsurer’s breach of
this Article. 

 ARTICLE 15 

FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (“FATCA”)  
  

	A.	Each Reinsurer hereby acknowledges the requirements of Sections 1471-1474 US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued from time to time thereunder
(“FATCA”) and the obligation of each of them to provide to the Intermediary a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W8-BEN-E, W-9 or other documentation meeting the requirements of the FATCA regulations to establish they are not subject to any withholding requirement pursuant to FATCA (the “Required Documentation”).

  

	B.	Furthermore: 

  

	 	1.	If a Reinsurer becomes non-compliant with FATCA during the Contract period or has not provided the Intermediary with the Required Documentation fourteen (14) days prior to
any reinsurance premium due date, the Withholding Agent (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-1(b)(147)) shall withhold thirty percent (30%) of the reinsurance premium (to the extent all or a
portion of that reinsurance premium is subject to withholding pursuant to FATCA) due to that Reinsurer under this Contract on that reinsurance premium due date and shall promptly notify that Reinsurer via the Intermediary. 

 

	 	2.	The withholding of reinsurance premium by virtue of 1. above shall not be, and shall not be treated by the Reinsurer as a breach of any reinsurance premium payment condition, warranty or other clause whether or not
entitling the Reinsurer to cancel, terminate or restrict this Contract, refuse, restrict or delay payment of any claim or invoke any interest, penalty or other late payment provision. The Reinsurer shall be liable under this Contract as if no such
withholding had been made. 

  

					
	USN170000946/USN170000919	 	9	 	FINAL

 

 
  

	 	3.	The Reinsurer shall not recoup sums withheld under 1. above by deducting equivalent sums from any payments due to the Company or by set off against any other sums owed by the Reinsurer and any general or contractual
right of set-off enjoyed by the Reinsurer is hereby varied and qualified to that extent. 

  

	 	4.	Where reinsurance premium is withheld in error, has not yet been paid to the IRS and the underwriter has been paid only the net reinsurance premium following such withholding, the Intermediary will cooperate with the
Reinsurer to process the requisite refund. 

 ARTICLE 16 

ACCESS TO RECORDS 
  

	A.	The Company shall place at the disposal of the Reinsurer at all reasonable times, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to inspect (and make reasonable copies) through its designated representatives, all non-privileged books, records and papers of the Company directly related to any reinsurance hereunder, or the subject matter hereof, provided that if the Reinsurer is a
Run-Off Reinsurer this right of access shall be subject to that Reinsurer being current in all payments owed the Company that are not currently the subject of a dispute. For the purposes of this Article, “non-privileged” refers to books, records and papers that are not subject to the Attorney-client privilege and Attorney-work product doctrine. The term “dispute” shall be as defined consistent
with the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions. In the event an arbitration has been demanded, the right of access and audit shall be only allowed as determined by the arbitration Board. 

 

	B.	“Attorney-client privilege” and “Attorney-work product” shall have the meanings ascribed to each by statute and/or the court of final adjudication in the jurisdiction whose laws govern the
substantive law of a claim arising under a Policy reinsured under this Contract. 

  

	C.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall permit and not object to the Reinsurer’s access to privileged documents in connection with the underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or
final adjudication of the case or cases involving such claim; provided that the Company may defer release of such privileged documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that claim or similar claims,
which might jeopardize the Company’s defense by release of such privileged documents. In the event the Company shall seek to defer release of such privileged documents, it will, in consultation with the Reinsurer, take other steps as reasonably
necessary to provide the Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to evaluate exposure, establish reserves or indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privileges. The Reinsurer, however, shall not have access to privileged
documents relating to any dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer. Furthermore, in the event the Reinsurer demonstrates a need for information contained in privileged documents prior to the resolution of the underlying claim, the Company will
endeavor to undertake steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privilege.

 ARTICLE 17 

RESERVES  
  

	A.	If, at any time during the period of this Contract and thereafter the reinsurance provided by a Reinsurer participating in this Contract does not qualify for full statutory accounting credit for reinsurance by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company (whether by reason of lack of license, accreditation or otherwise) such that a financial penalty to the Company would result on any statutory statement or report the Company is required to
make or file with insurance regulatory authorities (or a court of law in the event of insolvency), the Reinsurer shall secure the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations for which such full statutory credit is not granted by those authorities under
this Contract in a manner, form, and amount acceptable to the Company and to all applicable insurance regulatory authorities in accordance with this Article. 

  

	B.	The Reinsurer shall secure such Obligations, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Company’s written request regarding the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations under this Contract (but not later
than December 31) of each year by either: 

  

	 	1.	Clean, irrevocable, and unconditional evergreen letter(s) of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the applicable insurance regulatory authorities, by a qualified United States financial
institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state and acceptable to the Company and to insurance regulatory authorities; 

  

	 	2.	A trust account meeting at least the standards of New York’s Insurance Regulation 114 and the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state; or 

 

	 	3.	Cash advances or funds withheld or a combination of both, which will be under the exclusive control of the Company (“Funds Deposit”). 

 

	C.	The “Obligations” referred to herein means, subject to the preceding paragraphs, the then current (as of the end of each calendar quarter) sum of any: 

 

	 	1.	amount of ceded unearned premium reserve for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company; 

  

	 	2.	amount of Net Losses, including any Loss Adjustment Expenses, and other amounts paid by the Company for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company but has not yet paid; 

 

	 	3.	amount of ceded reserves for Net Losses, including any Loss Adjustment Expenses (including amounts for incurred but not reported loss), for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company; 

 

	 	4.	amount of return and refund premiums paid by the Company for which the Reinsurer is responsible to the Company but has not yet paid. 

 

	D.	The Company, or its successors in interest, may draw, at any time and from time to time, upon the: 

  

	 	1.	Established letter of credit (or subsequent cash deposit); 

  

	 	2.	Established trust account (or subsequent cash deposit); or

 without diminution or restriction because of the insolvency of either the Company or the Reinsurer for one or
more of the following purposes set forth below. 
  

	E.	Draws shall be made only for the following purposes: 

  

	 	1.	To make payment to and reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of Net Loss, including any Loss Adjustment Expense, and other amounts paid by the Company under its Policies and for which the Reinsurer is
responsible under this Contract that is due to the Company but unpaid by the Reinsurer including but not limited to the Reinsurer’s share of premium refunds and returns; and 

 

	 	2.	To obtain a cash advance of the entire amount of the remaining balance under any letter of credit in the event that the Company: 

  

	 	a.	has received notice of non-renewal or expiration of the letter of credit or trust account; 

  

	 	b.	has not received assurances satisfactory to the Company of any required increase in the amount of the letter of credit or trust account, or its replacement or other continuation of the letter of credit or trust account
at least thirty (30) days before its stated expiration date; 

  

	 	c.	has been made aware that others may attempt to attach or otherwise place in jeopardy the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account; or 

 

	 	d.	has concluded that the trustee or issuing (or confirming) bank’s financial condition is such that the value of the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account may be in jeopardy;

 and under any of those circumstances set forth in E(2)(a) through E(2)(d) above, where the Reinsurer’s entire
Obligations, or part thereof, under this Contract remain un-liquidated and un-discharged at least thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date or at the
time the Company learns of the possible jeopardy to the security represented by the letter of credit or trust account. 
  

	F.	If the Company draws on the letter of credit or trust account to obtain a cash advance, the Company will hold the amount of the cash advance so obtained in the name of the Company in any qualified United States
financial institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state in trust solely to secure the Obligations referred to above and for the use and purposes enumerated above and to return any balance thereof to the
Reinsurer: 

  

	 	1.	Upon the complete and final liquidation and discharge of all of the Reinsurer’s Obligations to the Company under this Contract; or 

 

	 	2.	In the event the Reinsurer subsequently provides alternate or replacement security consistent with the terms hereof and acceptable to the Company.

	G.	The Company will prepare and forward at annual intervals or more frequently as determined by the Company, but not more frequently than quarterly to the Reinsurer a statement for the purposes of this Article, showing the
Reinsurer’s share of Obligations as set forth above. If the Reinsurer’s share thereof exceeds the then existing balance of the security provided, the Reinsurer will, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Company’s statement,
but never later than December 31 of any year, increase the amount of the letter of credit, (or subsequent cash deposit), trust account or Funds Deposit to the required amount of the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations set forth in the
Company’s statement, but never later than December 31 of any year. If the Reinsurer’s share thereof is less than the then existing balance of the security provided, the Company will release the excess thereof to the Reinsurer upon the
Reinsurer’s written request. The Reinsurer will not attempt to prevent the Company from holding the cash advance or Funds Deposit so long as the Company is acting in accordance with this Article. The Company shall pay interest earned on the
deposited amounts to the Reinsurers as the parties shall have agreed at the time of the deposit. 

  

	H.	Any assets deposited to a trust account will be valued according to their current fair market value and will consist only of cash (U.S. legal tender), certificates of deposit issued by a qualified United States
financial institution as defined under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state and payable in cash and investments of the types no less conservative than those specified in Section 1404 (a)(1)(2)(3)(8) and (10) of the New
York Insurance Law and which are admitted assets under the Insurance Law of the Company’s domiciliary state. Investments issued by the parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of either the Company or the Reinsurer will not be eligible investments. All
assets so deposited will be accompanied by all necessary assignments, endorsements in blank, or transfer of legal title to the trustee in order that the Company may negotiate any such assets without the requirement of consent or signature from the
Reinsurer or any other entity. 

  

	I.	All settlements of account between the Company and the Reinsurer will be made in cash or its equivalent. All income earned and received by the amount held in an established trust account will be added to the principal.

  

	J.	The Company’s “successors in interest” will include those by operation of law, including without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator. 

 

	K.	The Reinsurer will take any other reasonable steps that may be required for the Company to take full credit on its statutory financial statements for the reinsurance provided by this Contract.

	B.	This Article shall not be read to conflict with or override the obligations of the parties to arbitrate their disputes as provided for in the Article entitled ARBITRATION. This Article is intended as an
aid to compelling arbitration or enforcing such arbitration or arbitral award, not as an alternative to the Article entitled ARBITRATION for resolving disputes arising out of this Contract.

	C.	In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to perform its obligations hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United
States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States
District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally
chosen by the Company and accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against the
Reinsurer upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal. 

  

	D.	Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Reinsurer’s signature page
attached hereto. The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit. 

  

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

ARTICLE 19 
 ARBITRATION

  

	A.	Any and all disputes between the Company and the Reinsurer arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Contract including its formation or validity whether sounding in contract or tort and whether arising during or
after termination of this Contract, shall be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of two (2) arbitrators and an umpire (“Board”) meeting at a site in the city in which the principal headquarters of the Company
are located. The arbitration shall be conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act and shall proceed as set forth below. 

  

	B.	A notice requesting arbitration, or any other notice made in connection therewith, shall be in writing and be sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to the affected parties. The notice requesting
arbitration shall state in particular all issues to be resolved in the view of the claimant, shall appoint the arbitrator selected by the claimant and shall set a tentative date for the hearing, which date shall be no sooner than ninety
(90) days and no later than one hundred fifty (150) days from the date that the notice requesting arbitration is mailed. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of claimant’s notice, the respondent shall notify claimant of any
additional issues to be resolved in the arbitration and of the name of its appointed arbitrator.

	C.	The members of the Board shall be impartial, disinterested and not currently representing any party participating in the arbitration, and shall be current or former senior officers of insurance or reinsurance concerns,
experienced in the line(s) of business that are the subject of this Contract or professional advisors serving within the industry. The Company and the Reinsurer as aforesaid shall each appoint an arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators shall
choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. As time is of the essence, if the respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after having received claimant’s written request for arbitration, the claimant is
authorized to and shall appoint the second arbitrator. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an umpire within thirty (30) days after notification of the appointment of the second arbitrator, within ten
(10) days thereof, the two (2) arbitrators shall apply ARIAS U.S. (“ARIAS”) procedures to appoint an umpire for the arbitration with the qualifications set forth above in this Article. If the use of ARIAS procedures fails to name
an umpire, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an umpire with the above required qualifications. The umpire shall promptly notify in writing all parties to the arbitration of his selection and of the scheduled date
for the hearing. Upon resignation or death of any member of the Board, a replacement shall be appointed in the same fashion as the resigning or deceased member was appointed. 

 

	D.	The claimant and respondent shall each submit initial briefs to the Board outlining the facts, the issues in dispute and the basis, authority, and reasons for their respective positions within thirty (30) days of
the date of notice of appointment of the umpire. The claimant and the respondent may submit a reply brief to the Board within ten (10) days after filing of the initial brief(s). Initial and reply briefs may be amended by the submitting party at
any time, but not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of commencement of the arbitration hearing. Reasonable responses shall be allowed at the arbitration hearing to new material contained in any amendments filed to the briefs but not
previously responded to. 

  

	E.	The Board shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement and shall make a decision and award with regard to the terms expressed in this Contract, the original intentions of the parties to the extent reasonably
ascertainable, and the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance business that is the subject of this Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, the Board shall have the right and obligation to consider underwriting and
submission-related documents in any dispute between the parties. 

  

	F.	The Board shall be relieved of all judicial formalities and the decision and award shall be based upon a hearing in which evidence shall be allowed though the formal rules of evidence shall not strictly apply.
Cross-examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. The Board may request a post-hearing brief to be submitted within twenty (20) days of the close of the hearing. 

 

	G.	The Board shall render its reasoned decision and award in writing within thirty (30) days following the close of the hearing or the submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later, unless the parties consent
to an extension. Every decision by the Board shall be by a majority of the members of the Board and each decision and award by the majority of the members of the Board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding. Such decision
shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action arising out of the arbitrated dispute which either party may have against the other. However, the Board is not authorized to award punitive, exemplary or enhanced compensatory damages.

  

	H.	The Board may award: (i) interest at a rate not in excess of that set forth in the Article entitled LATE PAYMENTS, calculated from the date the Board determines that any amounts due the prevailing
party should have been paid to the prevailing party, and (ii) applicable Attorneys’ fees and costs.

	I.	Either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order confirming any decision and the award; a judgment of that Court shall thereupon be entered on any decision or award. If such an order is issued,
the Attorneys’ fees of the party so applying and court costs will be paid by the party against whom confirmation is sought. 

  

	J.	Except in the event of a consolidated arbitration, unless otherwise determined by the Board each party shall bear the expense of the one arbitrator appointed by or for it and shall jointly and equally bear with the
other party the expense of any stenographer requested, and of the umpire. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be finally allocated by the Board. 

 

	K.	Subject to customary and recognized legal rules of privilege, each party participating in the arbitration shall have the obligation to produce those documents and as witnesses at the arbitration those of its employees,
and those of its affiliates as any other participating party reasonably requests, providing always that the same witnesses and documents be obtainable and relevant to the issues before the arbitration and not be unduly burdensome or excessive in the
opinion of the Board. 

  

	L.	The parties may mutually agree as to pre-hearing discovery prior to the arbitration hearing and in the absence of agreement, upon the request of any party, pre-hearing discovery may be conducted as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and in furtherance of a prompt hearing, decision and award by the Board.
In the event arbitration has been demanded, access to records and audit with regard to the matter in dispute shall be allowed only as determined by the arbitration Board. 

 

	M.	The Board shall be the final judge of the composition of the Board, the procedures of the Board, the conduct of the arbitration, of the rules of evidence, the rules of privilege, discovery and production and of
excessiveness and relevancy of any witnesses and documents upon the petition of any participating party. To the extent permitted by law, the Board shall have the authority to issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce their decisions. The Board
shall also have the authority to issue interim decisions -awards or costs in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and a prompt and orderly hearing and decision and award by the Board. 

 

	N.	Upon request made to the Board not later than ten (10) days after the umpire’s appointment, the Board may order a consolidated hearing as respects common issues between the Company and all affected Reinsurers
participating in this Contract if the Board is satisfied in its discretion that the issues in dispute affect more than one Reinsurer and a consolidated hearing would be in the interest of fairness, and a prompt and cost-effective resolution of the
issues in dispute. 

  

	O.	If the parties mutually agree to or the Board orders a consolidated hearing, all other affected participating Reinsurers shall join and participate in the arbitration under time frames established by the Board and will
be bound by the Board’s decision and award unless excused by the Board in its discretion. A consolidated hearing shall not result in any change or modification of any Reinsurer’s liability for its participation, that is several, but not
joint shall remain the same. 

  

	P.	Any Reinsurer may decline to actively participate in a consolidated arbitration if in advance of the hearing, that Reinsurer shall file with the Board a written agreement in form satisfactory to the Board to be bound by
the decision and award of the Board in the same fashion and to the same degree as if it actively participated in the arbitration, subject to Paragraph R.

	Q.	In the event of an order of consolidation by the Board, the arbitrator appointed by the original Reinsurer shall be subject to being, and may be, replaced within thirty (30) days of the decision to have a
consolidated arbitration by an arbitrator named collectively by the Reinsurers or in the absence of agreement, by the Lead Reinsurer, or if there is no Lead Reinsurer involved in the dispute, the Reinsurer with the largest participation in this
Contract affected by the dispute. In the event two (2) or more Reinsurers affected by the dispute each have the same largest participation, they shall agree among themselves as to the replacement arbitrator, if any, to be appointed. The umpire
shall be the final determiner in the event of any dispute over replacement of that arbitrator. All other aspects of the arbitration shall be conducted as provided for in this Article provided that (1) each party actively participating in the
consolidated arbitration will have the right to its own attorney, position, and related claims and defenses; (2) each party will not, in presenting its position, be prevented from presenting its position by the position set forth by any other
party; and (3) the cost and expense of the arbitration including the expense of any stenographer, will be borne equally by each party actively participating in the consolidated arbitration (exclusive of Attorney’s fees, which will be borne
by the respective retaining party unless otherwise determined by the Board) or as the Board shall determine to be fair and appropriate under the circumstances. 

  

	R.	Nothing in this Article shall preclude any of the parties engaged in an arbitration from settling the dispute and withdrawing from an arbitration established to resolve that dispute. 

ARTICLE 20 
 EXPEDITED
ARBITRATION 
  

	A.	In the event that either party demands arbitration of a dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer, and the amount in dispute is less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), unless the arbitration notice
includes a demand for rescission of this Contract, notwithstanding the terms of the Article entitled ARBITRATION, the dispute shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator and the following procedures shall apply: 

 

	B.	The sole arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties within fifteen (15) business days after the demand for arbitration. If the parties have not chosen an arbitrator within the fifteen
(15) business days after the receipt of the arbitration notice, the arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the Neutral Arbitrator Selection Procedure modified for a single arbitrator, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance
Arbitration Society – U.S. (ARIAS) and in force on the date the arbitration is demanded. The nominated arbitrator must be available to read any written submissions and hear testimony within sixty (60) calendar days of being chosen.

  

	C.	Within ten (10) business days after the arbitrator has been appointed, the parties shall be notified of deadlines for the submission of briefs and documentary evidence, as determined by the arbitrator. There shall
be no discovery or hearing unless the parties agree to engage in limited discovery and/or a hearing. Also, the arbitrator can determine, without the consent of the parties, that a limited discovery and/or a limited hearing is necessary.

  

	D.	The arbitrator shall render a decision within ten (10) business days after the latter of the date on which briefs are submitted or the end of the limited hearing. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing
and shall be final and binding on both parties. 

  

	E.	Each party shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the arbitrator. The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the arbitrator. The arbitrator 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. However, the arbitrator may not award any exemplary or punitive damages.

 ARTICLE 21 

INSOLVENCY 
  

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

  

	B.	In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance (or the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, if required by applicable law) shall be payable directly to the Company, or to its
liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, either: (1) on the basis of the liability of the Company, or (2) on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable
statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company indicating the Policy or bond reinsured, which claim would involve a possible liability on the part
of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own
expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be
chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken
by the Reinsurer. 

  

	C.	Where two (2) 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 reinsurance
Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company. 

  

	D.	As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver,
conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Section 4118(a)(1)(A) of the New York Insurance Law, provided the conditions of 1114(c) of such law have been met, if New York law applies) or except (1) where the Contract specifically
provides another payee in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Reinsurer, with the consent of the direct insured or insureds, has assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to
the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of
Financial Services of the State of New York, or with the prior approval of such other regulatory authority as may be applicable, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer shall pay any loss directly to payees under such Policy.

 ARTICLE 22 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	A.	The information, data, statements, representations and other materials provided by the Company or the Reinsurer to the other arising from consideration and participation in this Contract whether contained in the
reinsurance submission, this Contract, or in materials or discussions arising from or related to this Contract, constitutes confidential or proprietary information unless expressly indicated otherwise by the Disclosing Party (“Disclosing
Party”) in writing from time to time to the other party or the respective parties (“Confidential Information”). This Confidential Information is intended for the sole use of the parties to this Contract (and their affiliates involved
in management or operation of assumed reinsurance business, retrocessionaires, prospective retrocessionaires, intermediaries involved in such placements, respective auditors, third-party service providers, and legal counsel) as may be necessary in
analyzing and/or accepting a participation in and/or executing their respective responsibilities under or related to this Contract. 

  

	B.	Disclosing or using Confidential Information relating to this Contract, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, for any purpose beyond (i) the scope of this Contract, (ii) the reasonable
extent necessary to perform rights and responsibilities expressly provided for under this Contract, (iii) the reasonable extent necessary to administer, report to and effect recoveries from retrocessional Reinsurers, (iv) the reporting to
regulatory or other governmental authorities as may be legally required, (v) persons with a need to know the information or (vi) regulators (all of the preceding persons or entities who are legally obligated by either written agreement or
otherwise to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information) is expressly forbidden. Copying, duplicating, disclosing, or using Confidential Information for any purpose beyond this expressed purpose is forbidden without the prior
written consent of the Disclosing Party. 

  

	C.	Should a party (“Receiving Party”) receive a third party demand pursuant to subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order or request, to disclose Confidential Information that has been provided by another
party to this Contract, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of any subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order or request, at least ten (10) days prior to such release or disclosure. Unless the
Disclosing Party has given its prior permission to release or disclose the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall not comply with the subpoena prior to the actual date required by the subpoena. If a protective order or appropriate
remedy is not obtained, the Receiving Party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally obligated to disclose. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, in no event, to the extent
permitted by law, shall this Article require the Receiving Party not to comply with the subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order. 

ARTICLE 23 

PRIVACY & PROTECTION OF DATA 
  

	A.	The Company and the Reinsurer represent that they are aware of and in compliance with their responsibilities and obligations under applicable laws and regulations pertaining to
Non-Public Personal Information and Protected Health Information (hereinafter “NPPI” and “PHI”, respectively). For the purpose of this Contract,
“Non-Public Personal Information” and “Protected Health Information” shall mean financial or health information that identifies an individual, including claimants under Policies reinsured
under this Contract, and which information is not otherwise available to the public. Data conveyed through the Intermediary may include NPPI and/or PHI that is protected under applicable laws and regulations and shall be used only in the performance
of rights, obligations and duties in connection with this Contract.

	B.	The Intermediary shall receive and convey NPPI and PHI data that it has received from the parties to this Contract or others for the sole purpose of carrying out the respective obligations of the parties under this
Contract. To the extent that this Contract is placed in conjunction with one or more corresponding Intermediaries the parties hereby authorize the transmission of the relevant data through the corresponding Intermediaries whether located in the
United States or any other country. The parties shall use any NPPI and PHI data received from another party or the Intermediary only as may be necessary to satisfy their respective obligations under this Contract. Furthermore, the parties shall
maintain appropriate safeguards to protect any data received from accidental loss or unauthorized access, use or disclosure. 

ARTICLE 24 
 LATE PAYMENTS
 
  

	A.	Payments from the Reinsurer to the Company have a due date as expressed in the Article entitled REPORTS, LOSS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS. Payment not received within ten (10) days of the due date shall be
deemed overdue (the “Overdue Date”). Payments due from the Reinsurer to the Company will not be considered overdue if the Reinsurer requests, in writing, that such payment be made by drawing on a letter of credit or other similar method of
funding that has been established for this Contract, provided that there is an adequate balance in place, and further provided that such advice to draw is received by the Company by the Overdue Date. Payments from the Company to the Reinsurer will
have a due date as the date specified in this Contract and will be overdue ten (10) days thereafter. Premium adjustments will be overdue thirty (30) days from the Contract due date or one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration
or renewal date, whichever is greater. 

  

	B.	If payment is made of overdue amounts within thirty (30) days of the Overdue Date, overdue amounts will bear simple interest from the due date at a rate determined by the annualized one month London Interbank
Offered Rate for the first business day of the calendar month in which the amount becomes overdue, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus two hundred (200) basis points to be calculated weekly. If payment is made of overdue
amounts more than thirty (30) days after the Overdue Date, overdue amounts will bear simple interest from the due date at a rate determined by the annualized one month London Interbank Offered Rate for the first business day of the calendar
month in which the amount becomes overdue, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus two hundred (200) basis points to be calculated on a weekly basis, but in no event greater than ten percent (10%) simple interest. If the sum of the
compensating additional amount computed in respect of any overdue payment is less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount overdue, or one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is greater, and/or the overdue period is one week or less,
then the interest amount shall be waived. The basis point standards referred to above shall be doubled if the payment is due from a Reinsurer who is no longer an active reinsurance market. Interest shall cease to accrue upon the party’s payment
of an overdue amount to the Intermediary. 

 ARTICLE 25 

OFFSET  
 The Company and the Reinsurer shall have
the right to offset any balance or amounts due as billed from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due as billed are on account of
premiums or losses or otherwise and immediately inform the Intermediary accordingly. In the event of the insolvency of any party, offset shall be as permitted by applicable insolvency or liquidation law.

 ARTICLE 26 

SPECIAL TERMINATION 
  

	A.	The Company may terminate or commute this Contract upon the happening of any one of the following circumstances at any time by the giving of fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Reinsurer:

  

	 	1.	The Reinsurer ceases active underwriting operations or a State Insurance Department or other legal authority orders the Reinsurer to cease writing business; or 

 

	 	2.	The Reinsurer has filed a plan to enter into a Scheme of Arrangement or similar procedure affecting the Business Covered under this Contract. “Scheme of Arrangement” is defined as a legislative or regulatory
process that provides a solvent Reinsurer the opportunity to settle its Obligations with the Company either (i) without the Company’s unrestrained consent or (ii) prior to the Company having the ability to determine, with exact
certainty, the actual amount of the Obligations still outstanding and ultimately due to the Company; or 

  

	 	3.	The Reinsurer has: a) become insolvent, b) been placed under supervision (voluntarily or involuntarily), c) been placed into liquidation or receivership, or d) had instituted against it proceedings for the appointment
of a supervisor, receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator or trustee in bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations; or 

 

	 	4.	A reduction in the Reinsurer’s surplus, risk-based capital or financial strength rating occurs: 

  

	 	a.	As respects Reinsurers domiciled in the United States of America, (i) the Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (“PHS”) has been reduced by, whichever is greater, twenty percent (20%) of the amount
of PHS pursuant to the most recent publicly available figure at the inception of this Contract or twenty percent (20%) of the amount of PHS stated in its last filed quarterly or annual statutory statement with its state of domicile; or (ii) the
Reinsurer’s total adjusted capital is less than two hundred percent (200%) of its authorized control level risk-based capital; or (iii) the Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s insurer financial strength rating or its Standard &
Poor’s Insurance Rating becomes less than “A-”; or 

  

	 	b.	As respects Reinsurers domiciled outside the United States of America, other than Lloyd’s Syndicates (i) the Reinsurer’s Capital & Surplus (“C&S”) has been involuntarily reduced by,
whichever is greater, twenty five percent (25%) of the published currency amount of C&S at the inception of this Contract or twenty five percent (25%) of the published currency amount of C&S stated in its last filed financial statement with
its local regulatory authority; or (ii) as respects Lloyd’s Syndicates, the Reinsurer’s total stamp capacity has been reduced by more than twenty five percent (25%) of the amount of total stamp capacity which stood at the inception of
this Contract. (This provision does not apply to any Lloyd’s Syndicate that voluntarily reduces its total stamp capacity.) or (iii) the Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s insurer financial strength rating or its Standard &
Poor’s Insurance Rating becomes less than “A-”; or 

  

	 	5.	The Reinsurer has entered into a definitive agreement to: 

  

	 	a.	become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company, corporation or individual(s) not controlling or affiliated with the party’s operations previously; or 

 

	 	b.	directly or indirectly assign all or essentially all of its entire liability for Obligations under this Contract to another party, other than with affiliated companies with substantially the same or greater net worth,
without the Company’s prior written consent; or

principal office as a result of war, currency regulations or any circumstances arising out of political, financial or economic uncertainty; or 

  

	 	b.	severance from active employment (of any kind) of any two (2) or more executives, by whatever title, of the Reinsurer during the most recent forty five (45) day period who perform the following functions:
chief executive officer, chief underwriting officer, chief actuary, or chief financial officer. This condition does not apply whenever the severance in employment is for the publicly announced purpose of the individual’s assuming within thirty
(30) days a known position with another identified firm in the (re)insurance or financial services industry. 

  

	B.	In the event that notice of termination is given by reason of an event described in A(4) above (the “Termination Notice”) and prior to the effective date of the termination (the “Termination Date”),
the chief financial officer of the Reinsurer represents and certifies in writing to the Company that (i) the deterioration of the Reinsurer’s financial condition is the direct and sole result of a recent major property catastrophe(s) or
the result of an Act(s) of Terrorism (either the “Event”) and (ii) that it is actively seeking and has a high probability of successfully obtaining additional capital to substantially replace the capital loss because of the Event (the
“Extension Notice”), the Termination Date shall be extended an additional thirty (30) days from the Termination Date (the “Extended Termination Date”). If prior to the Extended Termination Date, the chief financial officer
of the Reinsurer represents and certifies in writing to the Company that (a) it has raised sufficient capital so as to return its PHS or C&S to within five percent (5%) of the Reinsurer’s PHS or C&S last filed with its domiciliary
regulatory authorities prior to the Event, (b) obtained reinstatement of its rating agency grade(s) to the level as existed immediately prior to the Event, and (c) as respects Reinsurers domiciled in the United States of America, raised
its adjusted capital to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of its authorized control level risk-based capital, the Termination Notice shall be null and void. Otherwise, this Contract shall terminate on the Extended Termination Date in the
manner described in the Termination Notice. 

  

	C.	In the event the Company elects to terminate, the Company shall, with the notice of termination, specify that termination will be on a Cut-Off basis, in which event the Company
shall relieve the Reinsurer for losses occurring subsequent to the specified Termination Date, and that Reinsurer shall not receive deposit premium installments beyond the Termination Date. The Reinsurer shall within fifteen (15) days of the
Termination Date return a pro-rata portion of any ceded deposit premium paid hereunder, calculated as of the Termination Date, and cash in that amount (less applicable ceding commission, if any, allowed
thereon) and the minimum premium provisions, if any, shall be waived. (The fraction of the deposit premium to be returned to the Company shall equal the number of days from the Termination Date until the original expiration date of the Contract
period divided by the number of days in the original Contract period.) Upon final determination of the adjusted premium for the Contract period, the Reinsurer shall be credited with a portion of premium for this Contract, in the amount equal to the
fraction of the number of days the terminated Reinsurer participated in the Contract period divided by the number of days in the Contract period multiplied by the reinsurance premium for the Contract period.

	D.	In the event the Company elects to terminate this Contract on a Cut-Off basis and to commute Obligations relating to this Contract, the Reinsurer shall return the sum total of the
net present value (“capitalized”) of the ceded (1) Net Loss Reserves, (2) Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves, (3) Incurred But Not Reported Reserve, and (4) Unearned Premium Reserve (after deduction for any ceding
commission allowed thereon). In the event the parties are unable to agree on the capitalized value of the reserves to be returned to the Company, the Company and the Reinsurer shall jointly appoint an independent and neutral actuary experienced in
such matters and the mutually agreed actuary shall render a decision. In the event that the Company and the Reinsurer are unable to agree upon a single actuary within thirty (30) days, the parties shall ask the then current President of the
Casualty Actuarial Society to appoint an actuary with those qualifications within another thirty (30) days. If the President of the Casualty Actuarial Society is unable or declines to do so, the parties shall request a Federal judge of a court
of competent jurisdiction to make the appointment from a list of six (6) neutral nominees submitted by the parties jointly. The decision of the actuary will be final and binding on both parties. The Company and the Reinsurer shall share equally
the fees and expenses of the actuary. Upon payment of the amount so agreed or determined by the actuary to the Company, the Reinsurer and the Company shall each be completely released from all liability to each other under this Contract.

  

	E.	If the Reinsurer is not otherwise obligated under the Article entitled RESERVES to provide the Company security in order for the Company to obtain credit for the reinsurance provided by this Contract and
the Reinsurer has not cured the conditions described above, other than as expressed in conditions A(5) and A(6) above, the Company shall also have the option, if it does not elect the commutation option described above, to require the Reinsurer to
provide the Company with collateral funding as if the Reinsurer were otherwise obligated to provide security for the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract in an amount and manner and as provided for under the Article entitled
RESERVES. The Company shall have the option to require the Reinsurer to provide collateral funding but, provided it is reasonably acceptable to the Company and any insurance regulatory authorities involved, the Reinsurer shall have the
sole option of determining the method of funding referred to above. In recognition of security a participating Reinsurer or Lloyd’s Syndicate may place under the terms of a master trust agreement, such as the U.S. Lloyd’s Credit for
Reinsurance Trust, the provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to that participating Reinsurer or Lloyd’s Syndicate that has fully funded one hundred percent (100%) of the Obligations to the Company, as the term Obligations is defined in
the Article entitled RESERVES, pursuant to the terms of that trust agreement and the applicable funding requirements and procedures.

RECOVERY  
  

	A.	Any financial assistance the Company receives from the government of the United States of America under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, including the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Acts of 2007 and 2015, and any subsequent amendment to the Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”) shall apply as follows:

with only the net amount due to be remitted by the debtor party. 

  

	D.	As promptly as possible after the reinsurance premium earned by the Reinsurer hereunder for the just completed coverage period has been finally determined, the Company shall prepare and submit to the Reinsurers a final
statement of reinstatement premium due. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurers (less prior payments, if any) shall be remitted by the Company with its statement. Any return reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be
remitted by the Reinsurers as promptly as possible after receipt of the Company’s final statement.
