7





organization or party involved in the presentation, defense, or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.


Article XIII  -

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS


Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Agreement 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 delay, error or omission will be rectified as soon as possible after discovery.


Article XIV  -

CURRENCY


All retentions and limits hereunder are expressed in United States dollars and all premium and loss payments shall be made in United States currency.


Article XV  -

INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY


In the event of Insolvency of the Company, all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor on the basis of the liability on the Company under the Policy or Policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company.  It is understood, however that in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator  or receiver or statutory successor of the insolvent Company shall given written notice of 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 or statutory successor.


Article XVI  -

ARBITRATION


All unresolved differences of opinion between the Company and the Reinsurer relating to this Agreement, including its formation and validity, shall be submitted to arbitration consisting of one arbitrator chosen by the Company, one arbitrator chosen by the Reinsurer, and a third arbitrator chosen by the first two arbitrators.


The party demanding arbitration shall communicate its demand for arbitration to the other party by registered or certified mail, identifying the nature of the dispute and the name of its arbitrator, and the other party shall then be bound to name its arbitrator within 60 days after receipt of the demand.


Failure or refusal of the other party to so name its arbitrator shall empower the demanding party to name the second arbitrator.  If the first two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator after the second arbitrator is named, each arbitrator shall name three candidates, two of whom shall be declined by the other arbitrator, and the choice shall be made between the two remaining candidates by drawing lots.  The arbitrators shall be impartial and shall be active or retired officers of life and/or health insurance or reinsurance companies.



8






The arbitrators shall adopt their own rules and procedures and are relieved from judicial formalities.  In addition to considering the rules of law and the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance business, the arbitrators shall make their award with a view to effecting the intent of this Agreement.


The decision of the majority of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties.


Each party shall bear the cost of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the third arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration.  In the event both arbitrators are chosen by one party, the fees of all arbitrators shall be equally divided between the parties.


The arbitration shall be held at the times and places agreed upon by the arbitrators.


Article XVII  -

SEVERABILITY


If any part, term, or provision of this Agreement shall be held void, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining portion or portions shall not be affected thereby.



Article XVIII  

CONFIDENTIALITY


Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company and the Reinsurer each agree that all information communicated to it by the other, whether before the effective date or during the term of this Agreement, shall be used only for purposes of this Agreement, shall be received in strict confidence, and that no such information shall be disclosed by the recipient party, its agent or employees without the prior written consent of the other party.  Each party agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure to outside parties of such information, except as may be necessary by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Reinsurer as the case may be and except for disclosure to the Reinsurer's retrocessionaires.


Article XIX  -

AUTHORIZED REINSURERS


A.

If the Reinsurer is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, the Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of the Company's ceded outstanding loss and claims adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves), less the amount held on behalf of the Company in any claims fund, and in accordance with this Agreement, by:


1.

Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or



9





banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or


2.

Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or


3.

Cash advances;


if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved.  The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.


B.

With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:


1.

To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or claims adjustment expenses paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;


2.

To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;


3.

To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of any ceded outstanding loss and claims adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves), less the amount held in the claims fund, funded by means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;


4.

To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund the Reinsurer's share of the Company's ceded outstanding loss and claims adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves), less the amount held in the claims fund, if so requested by the Reinsurer.


In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual amount required for B(1) or B(3), or in the case of B(2), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.
