With the exception of subparagraphs (c), (f), (g), (h) and (k) of paragraph (1) above, should any judicial, regulatory or legislative entity having legal jurisdiction invalidate any exclusion on the Reinsured’s Policy, any amount of loss for which the Reinsured is liable because of such invalidation will not be excluded hereunder.

Subparagraph (a) of Paragraph (1) of ARTICLE 5 – REINSTATEMENT, shall read as follows:

The “Special Reinstated Limit,” applicable to Excess Layer 5, shall be calculated as follows:

The Ultimate Net Loss of such Loss Occurrence (prior to deduction of recoveries from the inuring “Deemed FHCF Coverage”) less the Trigger Point (the total of which is subject to a minimum of zero and a maximum of $123,000,000); divided by

Paragraph (4) of ARTICLE 7 – RATE AND PREMIUM, shall read as follows:

If the Reinsured elects to reduce or terminate a Reinsurer’s participation percentage in accordance with paragraph (3) of the Term Article prior to December 1, 2015, the “Minimum Premium” shall not apply. Further, the adjusted premium as otherwise determined above shall be replaced with the following:

In the event a loss occurs prior to the effective date of reduction or termination and the Reinsurer’s liability for such Loss Occurrence exceeds the “Deposit Premium,” the reinsurance premium for the Term of this Contract shall equal the “Deposit Premium” times the ratio the loss recoverable bears to the “Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit.”

In the event no loss occurs prior to the effective date of reduction or termination or a loss occurs whereby the Reinsurer’s liability for such Loss Occurrence is less than the “Deposit Premium,” the reinsurance premium for the Term of this Contract shall equal the pro rata portion of the reinsurance premium otherwise due hereunder based on the proportion the Term of this Contract bears to six months.
