ARTICLE II                                                       DEFINITIONS

“Brokerage Business” means broad classes of business that are underwritten on an individual policy basis by an insurance company’s underwriting staff through wholesale and retail agents and most or all of the services are provided by the insurance company as part of the overall product offering.

“Business Covered” shall mean the business described in Article I.

“Extra-Contractual Obligations” shall mean those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Agreement, 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, or other tortious conduct on the part of the Company in the handling, adjustment, rejection, defense or settlement of a claim under a Policy.

“Letter(s) of Credit” shall have the meaning set forth in Article XVI.

“Loss” or “Losses” shall mean, with respect to a Policy, the amount paid or payable by the Company to an insured with regards a Loss Occurrence, including (i) any Ex Gratia Payments (i.e., a claim payment not necessarily required by a Policy as a commercial accommodation by the Company to the insured or reinsured) and (ii) any payments for Extra-Contractual Obligations or Losses in Excess of Policy Limits.

“Loss Adjustment Expenses” as used in this Agreement shall mean all loss adjustment expenses incurred by the Company in settling claims including costs and expenses allocable to a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court costs and costs of supersedes and appeal bonds and including (i) pre-judgment interest, unless included as part of the award or judgment; (ii) post-judgment interest and (iii) legal expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions connected thereto, including pro rata declaratory judgment expenses.

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 liability to its insured or assignee or other third party on the claim will be deemed a Loss in Excess of Policy Limits.

5.                                       All settlements of account under the Trust Agreement between the Company and Reinsurer shall be made in cash or its equivalent.

6.                                       The Reinsurer and the Company agree that the assets in the Trust Account may be withdrawn by the Company at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions in the Agreement, provided such assets are applied and utilized by the Company or any successor of the Company by operation of law, including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, only for the following purposes:

(i)                                     to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of any Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses paid by the Company but not received from the Reinsurer or for unearned premiums due to the Company but not otherwise paid by the Reinsurer under the Agreement; or

(ii)                                  to make payment to the Reinsurer of any amounts held in the Trust Account that exceed 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations (less the balance of credit available under any Letter(s) of Credit) hereunder; or

(iii)                               where the Company has received notification of termination of the Trust Account, and where the Reinsurer’s entire Obligations under the Agreement remain unliquidated and undischarged ten (10) days prior to such termination, to withdraw amounts equal to such Obligations (less the balance of credit available under any Letter(s) of Credit) and deposit such amounts in a separate account, in the name of the Company, in any United States bank or trust company, apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes specified in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above as may remain executory after such withdrawal and for any period after such termination.

7.                                       The Reinsurer shall have the right to seek the Company’s approval to withdraw all or any part of the assets from the Trust Account and transfer such assets to the Reinsurer, provided that the withdrawal conforms to the following requirements:

13

(i)                                     the Reinsurer shall, at the time of withdrawal, replace the withdrawn assets with other Authorized Investments having a market value equal to the market value of the assets withdrawn,

(ii)                                  after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the Trust Account is no less than 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations (less the balance of credit available under any Letter(s) of Credit).

In the event that the Reinsurer seeks the Company’s approval hereunder, the Company shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its approval.

8.                                       In the event that the Company withdraws assets from the Trust Account for the purposes set forth in Paragraph (6)(i) above in excess of actual amounts required to meet the Reinsurer’s Obligations to the Company (less the balance of credit available under any Letter(s) of Credit), or in excess of amounts determined to be due and under Paragraph (6)(iii) above, the Company will return such excess to the Reinsurer.

9.                                       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 Trust Account 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 then existing balance of the security provided exceeds an amount equal to 100% of the Reinsurer’s share thereof, the Company will release the excess thereof to the Reinsurer upon the Reinsurer’s written request.

F.                                      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 Agreement.

ARTICLE XVII                                     SERVICE OF SUIT

A.                                   This Article only applies to a Reinsurer domiciled outside of the United States and/or unauthorized in any state, territory or district of the United States having jurisdiction over the Company. Furthermore, this Article will 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 Arbitration Article for resolving disputes arising out of this Agreement.

B.                                     In the event of any dispute, 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 any obligation to arbitrate disputes arising from this Agreement or 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

14

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.

C.                                     Service of process in any such suit against the Reinsurer may be made upon Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829(“Firm”), or the party identified on behalf of the Reinsurer on the Reinsurer’s signature page to this Agreement, and in any suit instituted, the Reinsurer shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.

D.                                    The Firm is authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that they shall enter a general appearance upon the Reinsurer’ behalf in the event such a suit shall be instituted.

E.                                      Further, as required by and pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefore, 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 their true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Agreement, 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 XVIII                                 ARBITRATION

A.                                   Any dispute or other matter in question between the Company and the Reinsurer arising out of, or relating to, the formation, interpretation, performance, or breach of this Agreement, whether such dispute arises before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration. Arbitration shall be initiated by the delivery of a written notice of demand for arbitration by one party to the other within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen.

B.                                     If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for the purposes of this Article, 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 Reinsurer under the terms of this Agreement from several to joint.

C.                                     Except as set forth in Article III, each party shall appoint an individual as arbitrator and the two so appointed shall then appoint a third arbitrator. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within 60 days, the other party may appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within 60 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, each of the arbitrators shall nominate three individuals. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected from a list of six individuals (three named by each arbitrator) by a judge of the United States District Court having jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if that court declines to act, the state court having general jurisdiction in such area. The arbitrators shall be active or retired officers of insurance or

15

reinsurance companies or Lloyd’s of London Underwriters; the arbitrators shall not have a personal or financial interest in the result of the arbitration.

D.                                    The arbitration hearings shall be held in New York, New York. Each party shall submit its case to the arbitrators within 60 days of the selection of the third arbitrator or within such longer period as may be agreed by the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not be obliged to follow judicial formalities or the rules of evidence except to the extent required by governing law, that is, the state law of the situs of the arbitration as herein agreed; they shall make their decisions according to the practice of the reinsurance business. The decision rendered by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on both parties. 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. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

E.                                      Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its own arbitrator and one-half of the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator. All other expenses of the arbitration shall be equally divided between the parties.

F.                                      Except as provided above, arbitration shall be based, insofar as applicable, upon the procedures of the American Arbitration Association.

ARTICLE XIX                                         INSOLVENCY

A.                                   The reinsurance shall be payable by the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Company under the Policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company and the liability for such reinsurance is assumed by the Reinsurer as of the same effective date. In the event of insolvency and the appointment of a conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company, the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer shall be payable to the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor on the basis of claims allowed against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims, without diminution because of that insolvency, or because the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.

B.                                     Payments by the Reinsurer as above set forth shall be made directly to the Company or to its conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor, except where the Agreement of insurance or reinsurance specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance or except as provided by applicable law and regulation (such as subsection (a) of section 4118 of the New York Insurance laws) in the event of the insolvency of the Company.

C.                                     In the event of the insolvency of the Company, 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 insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus

16

incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable subject to court approval against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

D.                                    Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

ARTICLE XX                                             CLAIMS COOPERATION

When so requested in writing, the Company shall afford the Reinsurer or its representatives an opportunity to be associated with the Company, at the expense of the Reinsurer, in the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance, and the Company and the Reinsurer shall cooperate in every respect in the defense of such claim, suit or proceeding, provided the Company shall have the right to make any decision in the event of disagreement over any matter of defense or settlement.

ARTICLE XXI                                         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 Agreement whether contained in the reinsurance submission, this Agreement, or in materials or discussions arising from or related to this Agreement, may contain confidential or proprietary information as expressly indicated by the disclosing party in writing from time to time to the other party of the respective parties (“Confidential Information”). This Confidential Information is intended for the sole use of the parties to this Agreement (and their retrocessionaires, respective auditors 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 Agreement. Disclosing or using Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for any purpose beyond (i) the scope of this Agreement, (ii) the reasonable extent necessary to perform rights and responsibilities expressly provided for under this Agreement, (iii) the reasonable extent necessary to administer, report to and effect recoveries from retrocessional reinsurers, (iv) the extent necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or (v) persons with a need to know the information and who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information or who have agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information is expressly forbidden without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. 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.

B.                                     Should a party (“Receiving Party”) receive a third party demand pursuant to subpoena, summons, or court or governmental order, to disclose Confidential Information that has been provided by another party to this Agreement (“Disclosing Party”), the Receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon receipt of the demand and prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to the

17

disclosure. If such notice is provided, the Receiving Party may after the passage of five (5) business days after providing notice, proceed to disclose the Confidential Information as necessary to satisfy such a demand without violating this Agreement. If the Disclosing Party timely objects to the release of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will comply with the reasonable requests of the Disclosing Party in connection with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to resist release of the Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party shall bear the cost of resisting the release of the Confidential Information.

ARTICLE XXII                                                             OFFSET

The Company 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 Agreement,as permitted by sections 1308 and 7427 of the New York Insurance Law. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise. However, in the event of the insolvency of any party hereto, offset shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable law.

ARTICLE XXIII                                                         RECOVERIES

A.                                   All recoveries, including but not limited to salvage, subrogation, payments and reversals or reductions of verdicts or judgments (net of the cost of obtaining such recovery, payment or reversal or reduction of a verdict or judgment) whether recovered, received or obtained prior or subsequent to a loss settlement under this Agreement, including amounts recoverable under other reinsurance whether collected or not, shall be applied as if recovered, received or obtained prior to the aforesaid settlement and shall be deducted from the actual losses sustained to arrive at the amount of the Net Liability. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to mean amounts are not recoverable from the Reinsurer until the final Net Liability to the Company has been ascertained. 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.

B.                                     The Reinsurer shall be subrogated, as respects any Loss Occurrence for which the Reinsurer shall actually pay or become liable, but only to the extent of the amount of payment by or the amount of liability to the Reinsurer, 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 Occurrence. Should the Company elect not to enforce such rights, the Reinsurer is hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or its policyholders, or otherwise to enforce such rights. The Reinsurer shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of any judgment awarded in such an action in excess of the amount of payment by, or the amount of liability to, the Reinsurer hereunder.

C.                                     In the event that this Agreement shall provide reinsurance for the Net Liability from a Loss Occurrence or event incurred by two or more Companies, each Company contributing to the Net Liability shall be entitled to its proportionate share of the recovery in the proportion that its contribution to the total Net Liability bears to the total Net Liability. Payment of any recovery

18

amount to one Company by the Reinsurer shall make that Company the agent for payment of all other Companies contributing to the Net Liability.

ARTICLE XXIV                                MISCELLANEOUS

A.                                   This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other which consent may be withheld by either party in its sole unfettered discretion. This provision shall not be construed to preclude the assignment by the Company of reinsurance recoverables to another party for collection.

B.                                     This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Business Covered hereunder. There are no understandings between the parties other than as expressed in this Agreement or any amendment thereto. Any change or modification of this Agreement shall be null and void unless made by amendment to the Agreement and signed by the parties or otherwise clearly and unequivocally amended by exchange of letters or electronic mail. Nothing in this Article shall act to preclude the introduction of submission-related documents in any dispute between the parties.

C.                                     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state of the New York, exclusive of the rules with respect to conflicts of law.

D.                                    The headings preceding the text of the Articles and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended and inserted solely for the convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation, construction or effect of this Agreement.

E.                                      This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any insured, claimant or other third party have any rights under this Agreement.

F.                                      If any provisions of this Agreement should be invalid under applicable laws, the latter shall control but only to the extent of the conflict without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

G.                                     The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on strict compliance with this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Agreement nor estop the parties from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent the parties from exercising any remedy.

H.                                    Each party shall be excused for any reasonable failure or delay in performing any of its respective obligations under this Agreement, if such failure or delay is caused by Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” shall mean any act of God, strike, lockout, act of public enemy, any accident, explosion, fire, storm, earthquake, flood, drought, peril of sea, riot, embargo, war or foreign, federal, state or municipal order or directive issued by a court or other authorized official, seizure, requisition or allocation, any failure or delay of transportation, shortage of or inability to obtain supplies, equipment, fuel or labor or any other circumstance or event beyond the reasonable control of the party relying upon such circumstance or event; provided, however, that no such Force Majeure circumstance or event shall excuse any failure or delay beyond a

19

period exceeding ten (10) days from the date such performance would have been due but for such circumstance or event.

I.                                         All Articles of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all obligations between the parties have been finally settled, provided however that this Agreement shall not be construed to provide reinsurance for Business Covered, other than as specifically described in the Articles of this Agreement entitled Reinsurance Coverage nor to Loss occurring after the termination date of this Agreement other than as expressed in the Article entitled Commencement and Termination.

J.                                        This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and by each of the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

K.                                    Each party to this agreement shall honor the terms set forth herein as if this Agreement were a separate agreement between the Reinsurer and each Company. Balances payable or recoverable by the Reinsurer, or each named Company, shall not serve to offset any balances, payable, or recoverable to, any Company hereunder.

Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles hereof are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer’s loss obligations due each reinsured Company and each reinsured Company’s premium remittance under the report. In the event of insolvency of any of the parties to this Agreement, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with section 7427 of the New York Insurance Law.

This Agreement is entered into as of the date hereof by the parties hereto, subject in any case to the satisfaction of applicable insurance regulatory requirements of New York and Massachusetts, including any conditions such regulators may impose on the terms of this Agreement subsequent to the date hereof. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be effective as of April 1, 2006.
