NET QUOTA SHARE REINSURANCE AGREEMENT NO. FIN_5166.3 (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement") between FEDNAT INSURANCE COMPANY Sunrise, Florida (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and SWISS REINSURANCE AMERICA CORPORATION Armonk, New York (hereinafter referred to as the "Reinsurer") ARTICLE I - BUSINESS COVERED A. By this Agreement the Company obligates itself to cede to the Reinsurer and the Reinsurer obligates itself to accept from the Company a 10% Quota Share participation of the Company's Ultimate Net Liability for Policies in force as of July 1, 2020, and new and renewal Policies becoming effective on or after said date as respects losses occurring on or after July 1, 2020, subject to Paragraph B. This Quota Share is subject to the maximum cession limits set forth below: 1. Property Business $[***] each risk (10% share of the Company's Ultimate Net Liability of $[***]), but in no event shall the Reinsurer's liability from all risks in any one Loss Occurrence exceed $[***] (10% of $[***]). It is understood that the Company's $[***] limit reflects their portion of the retention under the Company's Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Agreement of July 1, 2020 ("Common Agreement") which also reinsures Monarch National Insurance Company and Maison Insurance Company (neither of which are subject to this Agreement). Should the event from which a Loss Occurrence hereunder arises also include losses sustained by Monarch National Insurance Company and/or Maison Insurance Company under the Common Agreement, the $[***] limit addressed in this paragraph could be reduced proportionately to reflect the Company’s retained share of the total losses under the retention of the Common Agreement. Notwithstanding the limits stated above, the Reinsurer's liability shall not exceed $[***] (10% of $[***]) as respects all Loss Occurrences taking place during the term of this Agreement. 2.

The cession adjustment is to take effect as respects in force, new and renewal business on a prospective basis on the last day of the calendar quarter in which such notice was given as respects Loss Occurrences taking place on or after such date; 4. Such cession adjustment shall be at the election of the Company only if the Loss Ratio from Agreement inception through the end of the quarter in which such notice was given is less than or equal to 30%. 5. If such Loss Ratio is greater than 30%, any such cession adjustment must be mutually agreed by both parties. 6. Mutual agreement of the parties to any cession adjustment is evidenced by addendum to this Agreement signed by both parties. For purposes of this Paragraph B., "Loss Ratio" shall mean the actual ratio of Incurred Losses to Earned Premiums from Agreement inception to the end of the calendar quarter for which calculation is being made.

D. This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any obligations or establish any rights against the Reinsurer in favor of any person or entity not a party hereto.
