A.           As respects each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall retain and be liable for the first amount of ultimate net loss (regardless of the combination of classes of business, number of policies or number of interests involved), shown as “Company’s Retention” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, arising out of each occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company’s applicable retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer shall not exceed the amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as respects any one occurrence.

C.             The Company deems that the maximum Employers Liability policy limits subject hereto shall not exceed $2,000,000.  Policy limits in excess of $2,000,000 may be submitted by special acceptance to the Reinsurer for coverage hereunder, subject to the provisions of paragraph C of the Exclusions Article.

Article VII - Reinstatement

6

1.               The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times

2.               The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).

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

C.             Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer hereunder shall not exceed the amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one occurrence, nor shall it exceed the amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Term Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.

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

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

7

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

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

If any provision of this paragraph B shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

C.             “Occurrence” as used herein is defined as an accident or occurrence or a series of accidents or occurrences arising out of or caused by one event, whether involving one or more of the Company’s policies, except that:

1.               As respects Workers’ Compensation policies, each occupational or industrial disease or cumulative injury case contracted by an employee of an insured shall be deemed to have been caused by a separate occurrence commencing on:

a.               The date of disability for which compensation is payable if the case is compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law;

b.              The date disability due to the disease actually began if the case is not compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law; or

c.               The date of cessation of employment if claim is made after employment has ceased.

2.               Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 1 above, as respects losses resulting from occupational or industrial disease and cumulative injury suffered by employees of an insured for which the employer is liable as a result of a sudden and accidental event not exceeding 72 hours in duration, all such losses shall be considered one occurrence and may be combined with losses not classified as occupational or industrial disease or cumulative injury which arise out of the same event and the combination of such losses shall be considered as one occurrence within the meaning hereof.

8

3.               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall apply to occurrences involving natural disasters:

a.               An occurrence shall be limited to damage, injury or loss arising out of a natural disaster during any continuous 168 hour period.

b.              The Company may choose the date and time when such 168 hour period commences and if the occurrence is of greater duration than 168 hours, the Company may divide such occurrence into two or more occurrences, provided no two periods overlap and provided no period commences earlier than the date and time of the first loss to the Company in such occurrence.

1.               It is not traceable to a definite compensable accident occurring during the employee’s present or past employment; and

2.               It has occurred from, and has been aggravated by, a repetitive employment-related activity; and

3.               It has resulted in a disability or death.

F.              “Loss adjustment expense” as used herein shall mean expenses assignable to the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense and/or appeal of specific claims, regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory reporting purposes.  Loss adjustment expense shall include, but not be limited to, interest on judgments, expenses of outside adjusters and claims-specific declaratory judgment expenses or other legal expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions connected thereto, but shall not include office expenses or salaries of the Company’s regular employees other than medical management personnel whose cost the Company will bill to specific cases on a time and expense basis.

2.               An act of terrorism that is certified by the Secretary of Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States.

Article IX - Other Reinsurance

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

B.             The Company shall be permitted to carry underlying excess of loss reinsurance and quota share reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions of this Contract.

Article X - Federal Terrorism Recovery

A.           Any loss reimbursement the Company receives from the United States Government under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (together the “Terrorism Act”) as a result of occurrences commencing during each contract year shall inure to the benefit of this Contract in the proportion that the Company’s insured losses (as defined in the Terrorism Act) in that occurrence under policies reinsured under this Contract bear to the Company’s total insured losses in that occurrence.

B.             If a loss reimbursement received by the Company under the Terrorism Act is based on the Company’s insured losses in more than one occurrence and the United States Government does not designate the amount allocable to each occurrence, the reimbursement shall be prorated in the proportion that the Company’s insured losses in each occurrence bear to the Company’s total insured losses arising out of all occurrences to which the recovery applies.

Article XI - Annuities at Company’s Option

A.           Whenever the Company is required, or elects, to purchase an annuity or to negotiate a structured settlement in excess of the retention of this Contract, either in satisfaction of a

10

judgment or in an out-of-court settlement or otherwise, the cost of the annuity or the structured settlement, as the case may be, shall be deemed part of the Company’s ultimate net loss, provided such annuity or structured settlement terms grant the Company full and final release as respects the indemnity portion of the settlement.  Additionally, it is the Company’s intent to place all annuities or structured settlements with a carrier whose A.M. Best’s rating is “A” or better.

B.             The terms “annuity” or “structured settlement” shall be understood to mean any insurance policy, lump sum payment, agreement or device of whatever nature resulting in the payment of a lump sum by the Company in settlement of any or all future liabilities which may attach to it as a result of an occurrence.

C.             In the event the Company purchases an annuity which inures in whole or in part to the benefit of the Reinsurer, it is understood that the liability of the Reinsurer is not released thereby. In the event the Company is required to provide benefits not provided by the annuity for whatever reason, the Reinsurer shall pay its share of any loss.

Article XII - Claims

A.           Whenever a claim or settlement by the Company appears likely, in the sole judgment of the Company, to result in a claim under this Contract, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer.  Further, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer whenever a claim involves a fatality, amputation, spinal cord damage, brain damage, blindness or extensive burns, regardless of liability, including all subsequent developments.  The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any claim or suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance.

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

Article XIII - Commutation

A.           Either the Company or the Reinsurer may request commutation of that portion of any excess loss hereunder represented by any outstanding claim or claims after seven years from the date of an occurrence.  If both parties desire to commute a claim or claims, then within 60 days after such agreement, the Company shall submit a statement of valuation of the outstanding claim or claims showing the elements considered reasonable to establish the ultimate net loss and the Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested.  Commutation of loss will be calculated on the present value of the loss within the layer of coverage.

B.             If agreement, as outlined in the paragraph above, cannot be reached, the effort can be abandoned or, alternately, the Company and the Reinsurer may mutually appoint an actuary or appraiser to investigate, determine and capitalize such claim or claims.  If both parties then agree, the Reinsurer shall pay its proportion of the amount so determined to be the capitalized value of such claim or claims.

11

C.             If the parties, as outlined in the paragraphs above, fail to agree, they may abandon the effort or they may agree to settle any difference using a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen.  If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an actuary within 60 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries.  If the two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 60 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.  All the actuaries shall be regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers’ Compensation claims and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or Members of the American Academy of Actuaries.  None of the actuaries shall be under the control of either party to this Contract.

D.            Each party shall submit its case to its actuary within 60 days of the appointment of the third actuary.  The decision in writing of any two actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties.  The expense of the actuaries and of the commutation shall be equally divided between the two parties.  Said commutation shall take place in North Palm Beach, Florida, unless some other place is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Reinsurer.

Article XIV - Special Commutation

A.           In the event a Subscribing Reinsurer meets one or more of the following conditions, the Company may require a commutation of that portion of any excess loss hereunder represented by any outstanding claim or claims, including any related loss adjustment expense:

1.               The Subscribing Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s rating has been assigned or downgraded below A- (including any “Not Rated” rating) and/or Standard & Poor’s rating has been assigned or downgraded below BBB+; or

2.               The Subscribing Reinsurer has ceased assuming new or renewal property and casualty treaty reinsurance business.

“Outstanding claim or claims” shall be defined as known or unknown claims, including any billed yet unpaid claims.  However, unless otherwise mutually agreed, this paragraph A shall not apply unless the outstanding claim or claims is for an amount not less than $5,000.

B.             If the Company elects to require commutation as provided in paragraph A above, the Company shall submit a Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as determined by the Company.  Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements considered reasonable to establish the excess loss and shall set forth or attach the information relied upon by the Company and the methodology employed to calculate the excess loss.  The Subscribing Reinsurer shall then pay the amount requested within 30 calendar days of receipt of such Statement of Valuation, unless the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company to assess the Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests such amount.

C.             If the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company to assess the Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests the amount requested, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall so notify the Company within 15 calendar days of receipt of the Company’s

12

Statement of Valuation.  The Company shall supply any reasonably requested information to the Subscribing Reinsurer within 15 calendar days of receipt of the notification.  Within 30 calendar days of the date of the notification or of the receipt of the information, whichever is later, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall provide the Company with its Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as determined by the Subscribing Reinsurer.  Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements considered reasonable to establish the excess loss and shall set forth or attach the information relied upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the methodology employed to calculate the excess loss.

D.            In the event the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims is viewed as unacceptable to the Company, the Company may either abandon the commutation effort, or may seek to settle any difference by using an independent actuary agreed to by the parties.

E.              If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15 calendar days of the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, then each party shall appoint an actuary as party arbitrators for the limited and sole purpose of selecting an independent actuary.  If the actuaries cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15 calendar days of the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, the Company shall supply the Subscribing Reinsurer with a list of at least three proposed independent actuaries, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall select the independent actuary from that list.

F.              Upon selection of the independent actuary, both parties shall present their respective written submissions to the independent actuary.  The independent actuary may, at his or her discretion, request additional information.  The independent actuary shall issue his or her decision within 45 calendar days after the written submissions have been filed and any additional information has been provided.

G.             The decision of the independent actuary shall be final and binding.  The expense of the independent actuary shall be equally divided between the two parties.  For the purposes of this Article, unless mutually agreed otherwise, an “independent actuary” shall be an actuary who satisfies each of the following criteria:

The Reinsurer shall be credited with recoveries from salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder.  Recoveries therefrom shall always be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss.  The Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights.

C.             Within 60 days following the termination or expiration of this Contract and within 60 days following the 12-month period thereafter, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer for each such excess layer shall be remitted by the Company with its report.  If the premium so computed is less than the previously paid, but more than the minimum premium for that excess layer, the balance shall be refunded by the Reinsurer to the Company within 30 days of the report.

Article XVII - Late Payments

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

B.             In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (BRMA 23A) (hereinafter referred to as the “Intermediary”) by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month as follows:

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

2.               1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times

3.               The amount past due, including accrued interest.

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

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

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

2.               Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 30 business days after the proof of loss and 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 or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss and demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

3.               As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract.  In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 business days following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

15

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

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

E.              Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that are $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.

Article XVIII - Offset

Each party hereto has the right, which may be exercised at any time, to offset any amounts, whether on account of premiums or losses or otherwise, due from such party to another party under this Contract or any other reinsurance contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between them, against any amounts, whether on account of premiums or losses or otherwise due from the latter party to the former party.  The party asserting the right of offset may exercise this right, whether as assuming or ceding insurer or in both roles in the relevant agreement or agreements.

Article XIX - Access to Records (BRMA 1D)

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

Article XX - Liability of the Reinsurer

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

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

16

Article XXI - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)

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

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

Article XXII - Errors and Omissions

Except as provided in paragraph D of the Term Article, 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 XXIII - Currency (BRMA 12A)

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

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

Article XXIV - Taxes (BRMA 50B)

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

Article XXV - Federal Excise Tax

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

17

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

Article XXVI - Reserves

(Applies only to a reinsurer which (1) does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves, or (2) which is or becomes rated “B++” or lower or holds a “Not Rated” rating by A.M. Best or is or becomes rated BBB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s, unless the Reinsurer has an A.M. Best’s rating of “A” or Standard & Poor’s rating of “A” and group policyholders’ surplus equal to or above $2,000,000,000 at the beginning of this Contract)

A.           As regards policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set up, it will forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer.  The Reinsurer hereby agrees to fund such reserves in respect of known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and allocated loss adjustment expense relating thereto, losses and allocated loss adjustment expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer, plus reserves for losses and allocated loss adjustment expense incurred but not reported, as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurer’s Obligations”) by Regulation 114 trust accounts, funds withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit, or combination thereof.  For purposes of this Contract, the Lloyd’s United States Credit for Reinsurance Trust Fund shall be considered an acceptable funding instrument.  The Reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.

B.             When funding by a Letter of Credit, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by a bank meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of Letters of Credit and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s proportion of said reserves.  Such Letter of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall contain an “evergreen” clause, which automatically extends the term for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days (60 days where required by insurance regulatory authorities) prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letter of Credit extended for any additional period.

C.             The Reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and be utilized by the Company or any successor, by operation of law, of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company for the following purposes, unless otherwise provided for in a separate Trust Agreement:

18

1.               To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and which has not been otherwise paid;

2.               To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract, if so requested by the Reinsurer;

3.               To fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations.  Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer;

4.               To pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any Letter of Credit is in excess of the actual amount required for subparagraphs 1 or 3, or in the case of subparagraph 4, the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.  All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the Reinsurer.

D.            The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.

E.              At quarterly intervals and on an estimated basis 45 days prior to each December 31, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, in the following manner:

1.               If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference.

2.               If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.

Article XXVII - Insolvency

A.           In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured companies, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the company without diminution because of the insolvency of the company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim.  It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the

19

company indicating the policy or bond reinsured which claim would involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor.  The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the Court, against the company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

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

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

Article XXVIII - Arbitration

A.           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 Company, 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, the Umpire shall be appointed in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration Association.

B.             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 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.

20

C.             If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company 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.

D.            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.

E.              Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state in which the Company has its principal office.

Article XXIX - Service of Suit (BRMA 49C)

(Applicable if the Reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of America, and/or is not authorized in any State, Territory or District of the United States where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities)

A.           It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States.  Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States.

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

Article XXX - Agency Agreement

If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies (subject to the provisions of the Insolvency Article) 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.

21

Article XXXI - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)

This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

Article XXXII - Intermediary (BRMA 23A)

Benfield Inc. is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business hereunder.  All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premium, return premium, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss settlements) relating thereto shall be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer through Benfield Inc.  Payments by the Company to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Reinsurer.  Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the Company.

In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representative has executed this Contract as of the date undermentioned at:

North Palm Beach, Florida, this            day of            in the year           .
