By this Contract the Reinsurer agrees to reinsure the net excess liability of the Company under its Policies in force at the effective time and date hereof or issued or renewed after that time and date by or on behalf of the Company and classified by the Company as Casualty and Liability, which is defined as insurance which is classified in the NAIC Annual Statement as commercial multiple peril (liability portion coverages), other liability — occurrence and claims made, commercial and private passenger automobile liability, commercial umbrella liability, and professional liability lines of business. The business covered under this Article includes business written by the Company’s Commercial and Specialty Lines Divisions.

B.		The Reinsurer shall cease to be liable for Loss Occurrences after the time and date of expiration of this Contract but shall remain liable for Ultimate Net Loss incurred by the Company with respect to Loss Occurrences under the Company’s Policies with the date of loss prior to the termination date of this Contract.

C.		The Company shall have the option to elect run-off coverage for Policies in force at the expiration of this Contract. If the Company chooses to run off liability, the Company will notify the Reinsurer prior to January 31, 2009.

The premium for the run-off coverage shall be the expiring rate from the attached Schedule A applied to the unearned subject premium for the Policies in force as of December 31, 2008.

ARTICLE III

SPECIAL TERMINATION

	2.		The Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation or receivership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or there has been instituted against it proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations; or

	3.		The Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus has been reduced by whichever is greater, either 25% of the amount of surplus at the inception of this Contract or 25% of the amount at the latest anniversary, or has lost any part of or has reduced its paid in capital; or

	4.		The Reinsurer has become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company, corporation or individual(s) not controlling the party’s operations at the inception of this Contract; however, this subparagraph A4 shall not apply where the acquiring or surviving company, corporation, or individuals have a Standard & Poor’s Insurer

Page 2

ARTICLE IV

DEFINITIONS

A.		Extended Reporting Period Coverage

		“Extended Reporting Period Coverage” as used herein shall mean coverage for claims made after termination or expiration of the Company’s Policy on losses that would have been covered under the terminated or expired Policy had the claims been made during the term of that Policy. All claims made against or reported to the Company during an extended reporting period shall be deemed to have been made against or reported to the Company on the last full day of the Policy period to which the extended reporting period applies. For purposes of this Contract, the date of loss for any claim coming within Extended Reporting Period Coverage, whether such coverage is automatically extended under the Policy or whether a specific endorsement is issued, will be the termination or expiration date of the Policy.

Page 3

B.		Gross Net Earned Premium Income

		“Gross Net Earned Premium Income,” as used in this Contract, shall mean gross earned premium income during the term of this Contract on business the subject of this Contract less earned premium income paid for reinsurances, recoveries under which would inure to the benefit of this Contract.

C.		Insured

		“Insured,” as used in this Contract, shall have the same meaning as this term or similar term in the Company’s Policies. However, in the event of any ambiguity or dispute relating to this term, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes one Insured.

D.		Loss Occurrence

	1.		“Loss Occurrence,” as used in this Contract, shall mean any one disaster or casualty or accident or loss or series of disasters or casualties or accidents or losses arising out of or caused by one event, as defined within the Company’s Policies. However, in the event of any ambiguity or dispute relating to this term, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes one Loss Occurrence.

	2.		When two or more Policies, one or more (but not all) of which are on a claims-made or losses-discovered basis, are involved in the same Loss Occurrence, the date of loss for purposes of this Contract will be the actual date of loss; provided however that, if the loss under the occurrence or accident Policies is reported more than five years after December 31 of the year in which the loss occurred, the date of loss shall be the date first established under the claims-made and losses-discovered Policies.

	3.		When two or more Policies, all of which are on a claims-made or losses-discovered basis, are involved in the same Loss Occurrence, the date of loss for purposes of this Contract will be the date when the first insured involved had the claim made or discovered the loss.

E.		Policy or Policies

		“Policy” or “Policies,” as used in this Contract, shall mean any binder, policy, or contract of insurance or reinsurance issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, including any extended reporting periods, by or on behalf of the Company.

F.		Act(s) of Terrorism

		“Act(s) of Terrorism,” as used in this Contract, shall mean

Any actual or threatened violent act or act harmful to human life, tangible or intangible property or infrastructure directed towards or having the effect of (a) influencing or protesting against any de jure or de facto government or policy thereof, (b) intimidating, coercing or putting in fear a civilian population or section thereof religious or political system of thought, perpetrated by a specific individual or group directly or indirectly through agents acting on behalf of said individual or group or (c)

Page 4

retaliating against any country for direct or vicarious support by that country or any other government or political system.

Any act declared pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended, shall also be considered an “Act of Terrorism” for purposes of this Contract.

G.		Ultimate Net Loss

		“Ultimate Net Loss,” as used in this Contract, shall mean the actual loss paid by the Company or for which the Company becomes liable to pay, such loss shall include 90% of any Loss in Excess of Policy Limits as defined in the LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS ARTICLE, 90% of any Extra Contractual Obligations as defined in the EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS ARTICLE, ex-gratia payments subject to prior approval, expenses of litigation and interest, claim-specific declaratory judgment expenses, and all other loss expense of the Company including subrogation, salvage, and recovery expenses (office expenses and salaries of officials and employees not classified as loss adjusters are not chargeable as expenses for purposes of this paragraph), but salvages and all recoveries, including recoveries under all reinsurances, which inure to the benefit of this Contract (whether recovered or not), shall be first deducted from such loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder.

		The phrase “ex-gratia payments” shall mean payments made as an accommodation by the Company in settlement of a claim for which no coverage exists under the Policy reinsured hereunder, subject to the prior approval of the Reinsurer.

		The phrase “claim-specific declaratory judgment expenses,” as used in this Contract will mean all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with declaratory judgment actions brought to determine the Company’s defense and/or indemnification obligations that are allocable to specific Policies and claims subject to this Contract.

		All salvages, recoveries or payments recovered or received subsequent to loss settlements hereunder shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the aforesaid settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto.

		For purposes of this definition, the phrase “becomes liable to pay” shall mean the existence of a judgment, which the Company does not intend to appeal, or a release has been obtained by the Company, or the Company has accepted a proof of loss.

		Nothing in this clause shall be construed to mean that losses are not recoverable hereunder until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained.

Page 5

ARTICLE V

LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS

A.		This Contract shall protect the Company, within the limits hereof, in connection with the Ultimate Net Loss in excess of the limit of its original Policy, such loss in excess of the limit having been incurred because of failure by it to settle within the Policy limit or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, criminal act or fraud, or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

B.		For the purpose of this Article, the word “loss” shall mean any amounts for which the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy. However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to fraud by a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate officer 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.

ARTICLE VI

EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A.		This Contract shall protect the Company within the limits hereof, where the Ultimate Net Loss includes any Extra Contractual Obligations.

B.		The date on which any Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original disaster and/or casualty.

C.		However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to fraud by a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate officer 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.

Page 6

ARTICLE VII

TERRITORY (BRMA 51A)

The territorial limits of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Company’s Policies.

ARTICLE VIII

EXCLUSIONS

This Contract does not cover and specifically excludes:

A.		Pools, Associations or Syndicates, except losses from Assigned Risk Plans or similar plans, are not excluded.

B.		Nuclear Incident pursuant to the “Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Liability — Reinsurance — U.S.A.” attached hereto.

C.		Nuclear Incident pursuant to the “Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Liability — Reinsurance — Canada” attached hereto.

D.		Liability of the Company arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise from its participation or membership, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any insolvency fund. “Insolvency fund” includes any guarantee fund, insolvency fund, plan, pool, association, fund or other arrangement, howsoever denominated, established or governed, which provides for any assessment of or payment or assumption by the Company of part or all of any claim, debt, charge, fee or other obligation of an insurer or its successors or assigns which has been declared by any competent authority to be insolvent or which is otherwise deemed unable to meet any claim, debt, charge, fee or other obligation in whole or in part.

E.		Financial Guarantee or Insolvency, when written as such.

		However, the liability of the Company under any bond covering losses due to negligence of any person or failure of any person to faithfully perform his duty or failure to account for and pay over money or other property in his custody shall not be considered Financial Guarantee or Insolvency.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim is to attach hereto in respect of any loss or losses arising as a result of:

	1.		The insolvency of any financial institution at which trust moneys are deposited or insolvency of any person, firm or company, or

	2.		The fall in the market value of investments unless such loss is the direct result of a) a dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or negligent act on the part of the bonded person or b) a dishonest, fraudulent or criminal act on the part of any other person or persons or c) unless such loss is solely created by a physical damage loss to property other than

Page 7

where such physical damage loss could have been recovered from a third party but for the insolvency of such third party.

		The above shall not apply as respects claims made under the Company’s Specialty Lines Division Policies.

F.		Pollution liability to the extent excluded in the Company’s original Policies. However, this exclusion shall not apply:

	1.		When a judicial entity having legal jurisdiction invalidates the Company’s Pollution exclusion, thereby obligating the Company for liability when such liability for Pollution was intended to be excluded by the Company’s exclusion.

	2.		In respect of any Policy written in a state whose insurance regulatory authorities have prohibited the Company from including a Pollution liability exclusion in its Policies.

G.		Business classified by the Company as Primary Rental Liability and Supplemental Liability.

H.		Liability assumed by the Company under any form of treaty reinsurance; however, group intra-company reinsurance (if applicable), local agency reinsurance accepted in the normal course of business and/or Policies written by another carrier at the Company’s request and reinsured 100% by the Company, as well as Policies written for the captive of the Company’s Insured, will not be excluded hereunder.

I.		Loss or liability excluded under the provisions of the “War Exclusion” attached hereto.

J.		Business classified by the Company as Nursing Home General Liability or Nursing Home Umbrella Liability.

K.		Workers’ Compensation.

L.		Loss or damage (including related cost and expense) directly or indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising out of or in connection with biological, chemical, radioactive, or nuclear pollution or contamination exposure.

Should any judicial or regulatory entity having jurisdiction invalidate any exclusion in the Company’s Policy that is also the subject of one or more of the exclusions herein (with exception to exclusions A, B, C, D, E, H, I, and K as set forth above), then a loss for which the Company is liable because of such invalidation shall not be excluded hereunder.

If the Company becomes bound on a risk specifically excluded in this Contract and if notice of such is given by the Company to the Reinsurer within 30 days of the discovery by an underwriting or a corporate officer of the Company, such reinsurance, as would have been afforded for the risk by this Contract if the risk had not been excluded, shall nevertheless apply:

(a)

to such risk with respect to occurrences taking place prior to the 31st day after the discovery by an underwriting or a corporate officer of the Company of the existence of the hazard which makes the exclusion applicable; or

Page 8

(b)

until the Company is legally able to eliminate its liability under the policy.

In case, within such 30-day period, the Company shall have forwarded to the Reinsurer complete underwriting information and shall have received from the Reinsurer written notice of its approval of the risk, the reinsurance shall apply with respect to such risk for the policy period reported in the same manner as if such risk were not so excluded, subject, however, to the terms of such notice of approval.

ARTICLE IX

SPECIAL PROVISION

The Company will maintain the following reinsurance; and recoveries, if any, thereunder, shall inure to the benefit of both the Company and the Reinsurer hereunder:

1.		Casualty Excess of Loss reinsurance of $14,000,000 of Ultimate Net Loss in respect of each Loss Occurrence or claims made, each Insured, in excess of the Company’s retention of $2,000,000 Ultimate Net Loss, each Loss Occurrence or claims made, each Insured. Ultimate Net Loss is inclusive of any primary Policy written by the Company and of Loss Adjustment Expense.

		This inuring reinsurance excludes Policies with per claim or per occurrence limits of $1,000,000 and less. However, when the Company writes a primary Policy and an umbrella Policy for the same insured and the sum of the per claim or per occurrence limits of the two Policies is greater than $1,000,000, this exclusion shall not apply to either Policy.

2.		Policies, subject to this Contract, with inuring coverage indicated in paragraph 1, above, shall not exceed a combined limit for both the primary Policy and umbrella Policy of $16,000,000 per claim or per occurrence.

ARTICLE X

SPECIAL ACCEPTANCES

B.		Renewal of Policies, which have previously received a Special Acceptance under prior Contracts, are deemed to be covered hereunder.

C.		Further, should a Reinsurer become party to this Contract subsequent to the acceptance of any business not normally covered hereunder, that Reinsurer will automatically accept the special acceptances as being part of this Contract.

Page 9

ARTICLE XI

COVERAGE

A.		As respects each excess layer hereunder, the Reinsurer shall be liable for 100% of the Ultimate Net Loss in excess of the “Company’s Retention” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, as a result of any one Loss Occurrence. The Reinsurer’s liability in respect of any one Loss Occurrence shall not exceed 100% of the “Reinsurer’s Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Reinsurer’s liability arising out of Act(s) of Terrorism shall not exceed 100% of the “Reinsurer’s Annual Limit for Act(s) of Terrorism for each layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto.

B.		The Reinsurer’s liability in respect of all losses occurring during any one Contract Year shall not exceed 100% of the “Reinsurer’s Limit, All Loss Occurrences” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto.

ARTICLE XII

REINSTATEMENT

A.		As respects each excess layer hereunder, should all or any part of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability for the excess layer be exhausted as a result of a Loss Occurrence, the sum so exhausted shall be reinstated from the date the Loss Occurrence commenced.

B.		For each amount so reinstated for the excess layer, the Company agrees to pay an additional premium at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of the loss calculated in accordance with the following formula:

	1.		The percentage of the “Reinsurer’s Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, exhausted by the Loss Occurrence.

	2.		The reinsurance premium paid or payable for the excess layer for the term of this Contract.

The dollar amount resulting from the multiplication of subparagraphs B1 and B2 above shall equal the reinstatement premium for the excess layer. If at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of a loss hereon, the reinsurance premium for the excess layer as calculated under this Contract is unknown, the calculation of the reinstatement premium shall be based upon the deposit premium for the excess layer, subject to adjustment when the reinsurance premium is finally established.

Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed the “Reinsurer’s Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, in respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to the “Reinsurer’s Limit, All Loss Occurrences” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, in respect of all losses occurring during the term of this Contract.

Page 10

ARTICLE XIII

REINSURANCE PREMIUM

A.		As premium for the reinsurance provided hereunder for each excess layer during each Contract Year, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the “Premium Rate” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, times its Net Earned Premium for the Contract Year, subject to the “Minimum Premium” for the excess layer as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto.

B.		The Company shall pay the Reinsurer the “Deposit Premium” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, in “Quarterly Installments,” as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, on January 1, April 1; July 1; and October 1, 2008.

C.		Within 90 days after the end of each Contract Year, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer during the Contract Year, computed in accordance with paragraph A, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company shall be remitted promptly.

ARTICLE XIV

NOTICE OF LOSS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS

The Company will advise the Reinsurer promptly of all claims which in the opinion of the Company may involve the Reinsurer and of all subsequent developments on these claims which may materially affect the position of the Reinsurer, such advices to include any claim for which the amount incurred is 50% or more of the Company’s retention.

The Reinsurer agrees to abide by the loss settlements of the Company provided that retroactive extension of Policy terms or coverages made voluntarily by the Company and not in response to court decisions (whether such court decision is against the Company or other companies affording the same or similar coverages) will not be covered under this Contract.

When so requested, the Company will afford the Reinsurer an opportunity to be associated with the Company, at the expense of the Reinsurer, in the defense of any claim or suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance, and the Company will cooperate in every respect in the defense of such claim, suit or proceeding.

The Reinsurer will pay its share of loss settlements within 15 days upon receipt and verification of proof of loss from the Company.

ARTICLE XVI

SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage or subrogation recoveries (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less loss adjustment expense incurred in obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage and subrogation recoveries thereon 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. In the event that there are no recoveries or the expenses exceed the amount of recovery, salvage or other related expenses shall be treated and paid by the Reinsurer as part of Ultimate Net Loss.

ARTICLE XVII

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS (BRMA 14C)

Any inadvertent delay, omission or error shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability which would attach to it hereunder if such delay, omission or error had not been made, provided such omission or error is rectified upon discovery.

ARTICLE XVIII

OFFSET

In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the subscribing 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 XXII

UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE (BRMA 55A)

(Applies only to a subscribing reinsurer who does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

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 unearned premium and losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set up, it will forward to the subscribing reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the subscribing reinsurer. The subscribing reinsurer hereby agrees to fund such reserves in respect of unearned premium, known outstanding losses that have been reported to the subscribing reinsurer and allocated Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto, losses and allocated Loss

Page 13

Adjustment Expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the subscribing reinsurer, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported, as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “subscribing reinsurer’s obligations”) by funds withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit. The subscribing 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.

When funding by a Letter of Credit, the subscribing 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 and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the subscribing reinsurer’s proportion of said reserves. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended 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.

The subscribing reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the subscribing 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:

	1.		To reimburse the Company for the subscribing 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 subscribing reinsurer’s obligations under this Contract;

	3.		To fund an account with the Company for the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations.

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

	2.		If, however, the statement shows that the subscribing 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 subscribing 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 XXIII

NET RETAINED LINES

This Contract applies only to that portion of any insurances or reinsurances covered by this Contract, which the Company retains net for its own account and, in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also in computing the amount in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of that portion of any insurances or reinsurances which the Company retains net for its own account shall be included.

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 reinsurers, whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from them whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurers or otherwise.

ARTICLE XXIV

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS (BRMA 52C)

This Contract is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any other party have any rights under this Contract except as expressly provided otherwise in the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE.

Page 15

ARTICLE XXV

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws or regulations 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.

ARTICLE XXVI

GOVERNING LAW (BRMA 71A)

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania exclusive of that state’s rules with respect to conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which case the applicable rules of all states shall apply.

ACCESS TO RECORDS

The Company shall place at the disposal of the Reinsurer at all reasonable times, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to inspect through its designated representatives, all books, records and papers of the Company in connection with any reinsurance hereunder or claims in connection herewith.

ARTICLE XXVIII

INSOLVENCY

In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, with reasonable provision for verification, 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 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,

Page 16

subject to the approval of the Court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or 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.

Where two or more subscribing 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.

It is further agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, 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 payee under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.

In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies listed in the designation of “Company” under this Contract, this Article shall apply only to the insolvent company or companies.

ARTICLE XXIX

ARBITRATION

As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any irreconcilable dispute between the parties to this Contract will be submitted for decision to a board of arbitration composed of two arbitrators and an umpire meeting in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

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.

The members of the board of arbitration shall be active or former, disinterested officials of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, not under the control or management of either party to this Contract. Each party shall appoint its arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. If the respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within 4 weeks after being requested to do so by the claimant, the latter shall also appoint the second arbitrator.

If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the umpire within 30 days of their appointment, the umpire shall be selected by a judge of any court of competent jurisdiction.

The claimant shall submit its initial brief within 45 days from appointment of the umpire. The respondent shall submit its brief within 45 days thereafter, and the claimant may submit a reply brief within 30 days after filing of the respondent’s brief.

Page 17

The board shall make its decision with regard to the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance business. The board shall issue its decision in writing based upon a hearing in which evidence may be introduced without following strict rules of evidence but in which cross-examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. The board shall make its decision within 60 days following the termination of the hearings unless the parties consent to an extension. The majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the board in any court having jurisdiction.

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 clause, and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting the one party provided, however, that nothing therein 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 under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the umpire. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be allocated by the board.

ARTICLE XXX

CONFIDENTIALITY

The Reinsurer, except with the express prior written consent of the Company, shall not directly or indirectly communicate, disclose or divulge to any third party, any knowledge or information that may be acquired either directly or indirectly as a result of the inspection of the Company’s books, records and papers. The restrictions, as outlined in this Article, shall not apply to communication or disclosures that the Reinsurer is required to make to its statutory auditors, parent company, retrocessionaires, potential retrocessionaires, legal counsel, arbitrators involved in any arbitration procedures under this Contract or disclosures required upon subpoena or other duly-issued order of a court or other governmental agency or regulatory authority.

ARTICLE XXXI

SERVICE OF SUIT

(This Article is applicable if the subscribing 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. This Article is not intended to conflict with or override the obligation of the parties to arbitrate their disputes in accordance with the ARBITRATION ARTICLE.)

In the event of the failure of the subscribing reinsurer to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the subscribing 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 the subscribing

Page 18

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. The subscribing reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by subscribing reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against it upon this Contract, and shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

Service of process in such suit may be made upon the agent for the service of process (“agent”) named below, depending on the jurisdiction where the Company chooses to bring suit:

	1.		If the suit is brought in the State of California, the law firm of Mendes and Mount, 445 South Figueroa Street, 38^th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit;

	2.		If the suit is brought in the State of New York, the law firm of Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit;

	3.		If the suit is brought in any state other than California or New York, either of the agents described in subparagraphs 1 or 2 above shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit; or

	4.		If the subscribing reinsurer has designated an agent in the subscribing reinsurer’s Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto, then that agent shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any suit. However, if an agent is designated in the subscribing reinsurer’s Interests and Liabilities Agreement and the agent is not located in California as respects a suit brought in California or New York as respects a suit brought in New York, in keeping with the laws of the states of California and New York which require that service be made on an agent located in the respective state if a suit is brought in that state, the applicable office of Mendes and Mount stipulated in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above must be used for service of suit unless the provisions of paragraph C of this Article apply.

Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the subscribing 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 its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceedings instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract, 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.

Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company has received financial assistance under TRIA.

This Contract shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the business reinsured by this Contract, except that any other contract expressly disclosed in this Contract or in any exhibit or document attached to this Contract shall also be included within such entire agreement.
