 DOC: June 11, 2013
	  	

 

 
  

	 	
Reinsured under the provisions of the Original Contracts, and shall remain in force until 12:00:01 a.m., Local Standard Time, June 1, 2014. “Local Standard Time” as used herein
shall mean local standard time at the location where the Loss Occurrence commences. 

  

	2.	The obligations of the Reinsurer under this Contract shall continue for Loss Occurrences commencing during the Term of this Contract until the Reinsured has no further
liability under the Original Contracts.

of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Reinsured’s Policies of the Original Contracts issued in the State of Florida. 
 ARTICLE 4

 ARTICLE 6 
 REINSURANCE PREMIUM 
 The Reinsured shall pay the Reinsurer a flat premium of
$1,166,513. The annual deposit premium shall follow the payment schedule of the Original Contracts. If this Contract is terminated, no deposit premium shall be due after the effective date of termination. 

ARTICLE 7 
 LIMITED
RECOURSE AND CAYMAN ISLANDS REGULATIONS 
 The liability of the Reinsurer for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations,
however they may arise, in relation to this Contract (together “Obligations” for purposes of this Article), shall be limited to and payable solely from the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Reinsurance Trust and accordingly
there shall be no recourse to any other assets of the Reinsurer, whether or not allocated to any other segregated portfolio or the general account of the Reinsurer. In the event that the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Reinsurance Trust
are insufficient to meet all Obligations, any Obligations remaining after the application of such proceeds shall be extinguished, and the Reinsured undertakes in such circumstances to take no further action against the Reinsurer in respect of any
such Obligations. In particular, neither the Reinsured nor any party acting on its behalf shall petition or take any steps for the winding up or receivership of the Reinsurer. 
 Notwithstanding any matter referred to herein, the Reinsured understands and accepts that all corporate matters relating to the creation of the Reinsurer, capacity of the Reinsurer, operation and
liquidation of the Reinsurer and any matters relating to the Reinsurer thereof shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Reinsurer has had the opportunity to take advice and to obtain all such
additional information that it considers necessary to evaluate the terms, conditions and risks of entering into this Contract with the Reinsurer. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 ACCESS TO RECORDS 

The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access to the books and records of the Reinsured on matters relating to this reinsurance at all
reasonable times, and at the location where such books and records are maintained in the ordinary course of business, for the purpose of obtaining information concerning this Contract or the subject matter thereof. Notification of a request for
inspection of records shall be sent to the Reinsured by the 

  
  

			
	ARP-CLD-02-OXB-001-13	  	Page 3
	  
 DOC: June 11, 2013
	  	

 

 
  

 
Reinsurer in written form, and shall normally be given four weeks in advance. Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer shall not have any right of access to the records of the Reinsured if it is
not current in all undisputed payments due the Reinsured. “Undisputed” as used herein shall mean any amount that the Reinsurer has not contested in writing to the Reinsured specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.

 ARTICLE 9 

AGENCY 
 If more than one
reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for
purposes of remitting or receiving any monies due any party. 
 ARTICLE 10 

ARBITRATION 
  

	1.	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, it is
hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter shall be chosen by the Reinsured, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be chosen by the two Arbiters before they enter upon
arbitration, all of whom shall be active or retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Lloyd’s London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within 30 days following
a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within 30 days
following their appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three candidates within 10 days thereafter, two of whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the dispute or
difference of opinion involves a Runoff Reinsurer, the Reinsured may, at its option, choose to forego arbitration and may bring action in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

 

	2.	 Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within 30 days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this
Contract as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the Arbiters shall be final and binding on both
parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the 

  
  

			
	ARP-CLD-02-OXB-001-13	  	Page 4
	  
 DOC: June 11, 2013
	  	

 

 
  

	 	
Umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  

	3.	If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall, at the option of the Reinsured, constitute and act as one party for purposes of
this Article and communications shall be made by the Reinsured to each of the reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or
claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the reinsurers participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint. 

  

	4.	Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event
that the two Arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties. 

 

	5.	Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract. Notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all
proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of Florida. 

 ARTICLE 11 

COLLATERAL 
  

	1.	As promptly as possible following execution of this Contract, the Reinsurer (as Grantor) shall enter into a Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with the
Reinsured (as Beneficiary) and the trustee, pursuant to which the Reinsurer shall provide collateral in the form of eligible Assets deposited and held in a Trust Account, with such Assets having a market value greater than or equal to the limit of
liability (the “Collateral”) less unpaid premium (net of brokerage and applicable Federal Excise Tax). It is understood that deposit premium paid in accordance with the Rate and Premium Article shall be deposited into the Trust Account.

  

	2.	The Reinsured agrees that if the Reinsurer makes payment(s) to the Reinsured under this Contract, the Reinsurer may withdraw Assets from the Trust Account, reducing the
market value of Assets in the Trust Account to an amount at least equal to the unused Reinsurance Limit, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. 

 

	3.	The Trust Fund may be drawn upon by the Reinsured at any time and the Assets may be used at the Reinsured’s option in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement. 

  
  

			
	ARP-CLD-02-OXB-001-13	  	Page 5
	  
 DOC: June 11, 2013
	  	

 

 
  

	4.	At any time prior to expiration or termination of this Contract, if the value of the Assets in the Trust Account is less than the Reinsurer’s Obligations
hereunder, the Reinsurer shall promptly deposit the difference into the Trust Account. 

  

	5.	Except as provided in the Collateral Release Article, the Reinsured agrees to release the Assets in the Trust Account required under this Article as promptly as
provided in the Trust Agreement. 

 ARTICLE 12 
 COLLATERAL RELEASE 
  

	1.	At the expiration or termination of this Contract, if the Trust has not yet been terminated, the Reinsured shall calculate on a monthly basis, how much, if any, of the
collateral shall be released from the Trust. 

  

	2.	Notwithstanding the aforementioned, at December 31, 2014, the parties agree to consider the release of collateral. The intention is to release collateral for all
limits for which there is essentially no possibility of reinstatement premium protection from past or future events before the expiration of this Contract. All collateral securing what the parties agree are unreachable limits will be released within
three business days. 

  

	3.	Thirty-six months following the expiration of this Contract, the Reinsurer shall have the option to commute this Contract by sending the Reinsured written notice
thereof. In such event, the Reinsurer shall pay to the Reinsured an amount equal to the reinstatement premium reserves hereunder, as estimated by the Reinsured, which would be recoverable hereunder. Upon the Reinsurer’s payment of such amount,
both parties shall be completely released from all liability under this Contract, whether known or unknown. 

ARTICLE 13 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	1.	The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to it by the Reinsured, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in
connection with the placement and execution of this Contract (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential to the Reinsured. Confidential Information shall not include documents, information or
data that the Reinsurer can show: 

  

	 	a.	Are publicly available or have become publicly available through no unauthorized act of the Reinsurer; 

  
  

			
	ARP-CLD-02-OXB-001-13	  	Page 6

	 	b.	Have been rightfully received from a third person without obligation of confidentiality; or 

 

	 	c.	Were known by the Reinsurer prior to the placement of this Contract without an obligation of confidentiality. 

 

	2.	Absent the written consent of the Reinsured, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties, including any affiliated companies
(except to the extent necessary to enable affiliated companies or third parties engaged by the Reinsurer to perform services related to this Contract on behalf of the Reinsurer), except: 

 

	 	a.	When required by regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records and/or financial condition; 

 

	 	b.	When required by external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records in the normal course of business; 

 

	 	c.	When required by attorneys in connection with an actual or potential dispute hereunder; or 

 

	 	d.	When required for the Reinsurer’s internal operations directly related to carrying out the terms and conditions of this Contract. 

Further, the Reinsurer agrees not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose not related to the performance of its obligations or
enforcement of its rights under this Contract. 
  

	3.	Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Reinsurer is required by court order, other legal process or any regulatory authority to release or disclose any or all
of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Reinsured with written notice of same at least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure and to use its best efforts to assist the Reinsured in maintaining the confidentiality
provided in this Article. 

  

	4.	The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their
successors and assigns.

 ARTICLE 14 
 CURRENCY 
  

	1.	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. 

  

	2.	Amounts paid or received by the Reinsured 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 Reinsured. 

 ARTICLE 15 

ENTIRE AGREEMENT 
 This Contract
shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the business being reinsured hereunder, and there are no understandings between the parties hereto other than as expressed in this Contract. Any change or modification
to this Contract shall be null and void unless made by amendment to this Contract and signed by the parties hereto. 
 ARTICLE
16 
 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
 Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error
or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as possible after discovery. 

ARTICLE 17 

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX 
  

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

  

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

 ARTICLE 18 
 GOVERNING LAW 
 This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Florida. 
 ARTICLE 19 
 INSOLVENCY 
  

	1.	If more than one reinsured company is included within the definition of “Reinsured” hereunder, this Article shall apply individually to each such company.

  

	2.	In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the Reinsured’s companies, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Reinsured or to its liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Reinsured or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Reinsured 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 Reinsured shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Reinsured
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 Reinsured 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 Reinsured as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent
of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Reinsured solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. 

  

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

	4.	It is further understood and agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of one or more of the Reinsured’s companies, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be
payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Reinsured or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except (1) where this Contract specifically provides another
payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Reinsured or (2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the Reinsured as direct obligations of the Reinsurer
to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Reinsured to such payees. However, the exceptions provided in (1) and (2) above shall apply only to the extent that applicable statutes or regulations
specifically permit such exceptions. 

 ARTICLE 20 
 LATE PAYMENTS 
  

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

 

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

  

	 	a.	The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly calculation, whichever the lesser; times 

 

	 	b.	1/365ths of the sum of 1.0% and the U.S. prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is
made; times 

  

	 	c.	The amount past due, including accrued interest. 

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

Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (b) above and the immediately preceding sentence, the interest rate for a Runoff
Reinsurer will increase by 1.0% for every month that payment of the claim is past due, subject to a maximum annual interest rate of 12.0%.

	3.	If the interest rate provided under this Article exceeds the maximum interest rate allowed by any applicable law or is held unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of
competent jurisdiction, such interest rate shall be modified to the highest rate permitted by the applicable law, and all remaining provisions of this Article and Contract shall remain in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated
in any way. 

  

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

 

	 	a.	As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the
event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment. 

 

	 	b.	Any claim or loss payment due the Reinsured hereunder shall be deemed due 30 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such
loss or claim payment is not received within the 30 days, interest will accrue on the payment amount overdue in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3) above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the
Reinsurer. 

  

	 	c.	As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph, the due date shall
be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article
have been invoked. 

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

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

  

	6.	Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments
consisting of three or more items over the course of any 12-month period.

 OFFSET 
  

	1.	The Reinsured and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party

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

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 accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted
against any of the Reinsurers upon this Contract, will abide by the final decision of such court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal. 

  

	3.	 Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefore, the Reinsurer hereby
designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent,
