A.		This Contract shall become effective at 12:01 a.m., Local Standard Time at the location where the loss occurrence commences, June 1, 2007, with respect to losses arising out of loss occurrences commencing at or after that time and date, and shall remain in force until 12:01 a.m., Local Standard Time at the location where the loss occurrence commences, June 1, 2008.

The Company has 30 days from the date of public announcement or discovery to exercise the option to terminate a Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share in this Contract.

07\M2U1138 Page 2

If this Contract is terminated or expires while a loss occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Contract, be determined as if the entire loss occurrence had occurred prior to the termination or expiration of this Contract, provided that no part of such loss occurrence is claimed against any renewal or replacement of this Contract.

Article III — Special Commutation

In the event a Subscribing Reinsurer meets one or both of the following criteria, the Company may require a commutation of that portion of any excess loss hereunder represented by any outstanding claim or claims, including any related loss adjustment expense.

	1.		The Subscribing Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s rating is assigned or downgraded below A- (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings) and/or Standard & Poor’s rating is assigned or downgraded below BBB+; or

	2.		The Subscribing Reinsurer ceases assuming new or renewal property treaty reinsurance business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article shall not apply to Subscribing Reinsurers that (at the inception hereof) are rated A+ or higher by A.M. Best and have a policyholders’ surplus (or the foreign equivalent thereto) of $2,000,000,000 or more.

“Outstanding claim or claims” shall be defined as known or unknown claims, including any billed yet unpaid claims.

If the Company elects to require commutation as provided in paragraph A above, the Company shall submit a Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as determined by the Company. Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements considered reasonable to establish the excess loss, including, but not limited to, paid losses, paid loss adjustment expenses, outstanding losses, outstanding loss adjustment expenses, incurred but not reported loss reserves established by the Company’s internal division or the appropriate actuarial firm under external contract to the Company, salvage and subrogation, and unearned reinsurance deposits, if any, and shall set forth or attach the information relied upon by the Company and the methodology, including, but not limited to, the present value calculation employed to calculate the excess loss. The Subscribing Reinsurer shall then pay the amount requested within 30 calendar days of receipt of such Statement of Valuation, unless the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company to assess the Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests such amount.

If the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company to assess the Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests the amount requested, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall so notify the Company within 15 calendar days of receipt of the Company’s Statement of Valuation. The Company shall supply any reasonably requested information to the Subscribing Reinsurer within 15 calendar days of receipt of the notification. Within 30 calendar days of the date of the notification or of the receipt of the information, whichever is later, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall provide the Company with its Statement


07\M2U1138 Page 3

of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as determined by the Subscribing Reinsurer. Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements considered reasonable to establish the excess loss, including, but not limited to, paid losses, paid loss adjustment expenses, outstanding losses, outstanding loss adjustment expenses, incurred but not reported loss reserves established by the Subscribing Reinsurer’s internal division or the appropriate actuarial firm under external contract to the Subscribing Reinsurer, salvage and subrogation, and unearned reinsurance deposits, if any, and shall set forth or attach the information relied upon by the Subscribing Reinsurer and the methodology, including, but not limited to, the present value calculation employed to calculate the excess loss.

In the event the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims is viewed as unacceptable to the Company, the Company may either abandon the commutation effort, or may seek to settle any difference by using an independent actuary agreed to by the parties.

If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15 calendar days of the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, then each party shall appoint an actuary as party arbitrators for the limited and sole purpose of selecting an independent actuary. If the actuaries cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15 calendar days of the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, the Company shall supply the Subscribing Reinsurer with a list of at least three proposed independent actuaries, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall select the independent actuary from that list.

Upon selection of the independent actuary, both parties shall present their respective written submissions to the independent actuary. The independent actuary may, at his or her discretion, request additional information. The independent actuary shall issue his or her decision within 45 calendar days after the written submissions have been filed and any additional information has been provided.

The decision of the independent actuary shall be final and binding. The expense of the independent actuary shall be equally divided between the two parties. For the purposes of this Article, unless mutually agreed otherwise, an “independent actuary” shall be an actuary who satisfies each of the following criteria:

	1.		Is regularly engaged in the valuation of claims resulting from lines of business subject to this Contract; and

	2.		Is either a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society or of the American Academy of Actuaries; and

	3.		Is disinterested and impartial regarding this commutation.

Notwithstanding paragraphs A, B and C above, in the event that the Subscribing Reinsurer no longer meets the criteria set forth in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of paragraph A above, this commutation may continue on a mutually agreed basis.

Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer of the amount requested in accordance with paragraph B, C or F above, shall release the Subscribing Reinsurer from all further liability for any outstanding claim or claims, known or unknown, under this Contract and shall


07\M2U1138 Page 4

release the Company from all further liability for payments of salvage or subrogation amounts, known or unknown, to the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract.

In the event of any conflict between this Article and any other Article of this Contract, the terms of this Article shall control.

This Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this Contract.

Article IV — Territory (BRMA 51A)

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

Article V — Exclusions

This Contract does not apply to and specifically excludes the following:

	1.		Assumed reinsurance. However, this exclusion shall not apply to the Company’s 25.0% quota share assumed from USIC of Florida, Inc. as respects Florida Homeowners business produced by the Company, it being understood that recoveries, if any, from the purchased common account catastrophe program and/or the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) will inure to the benefit of said quota share reinsurance, whether collectible or not, and will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF’s claims paying capacity.

	2.		Financial guarantee and insolvency.

	3.		Mortgage Impairment insurances and similar kinds of insurances, however styled.

	4.		Nuclear risks as defined in the “Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause — Physical Damage — Reinsurance” attached to and forming part of this Contract.

	11.		Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary within this Contract or any amendment thereto, loss, damage, cost or expense directly or indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from, or arising out of or in connection with any act of terrorism, as defined herein, regardless of any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any other sequence to the loss.

An “act of terrorism” includes any act, or preparation in respect of action, or threat of action, designed to influence the government de jure or de facto of any nation or any political division thereof, or in pursuit of political, religious, ideological or similar purposes to intimidate the public or a section of the public of any nation by any person or group(s) of persons whether acting alone or on behalf of or in connection with any organization(s) or government(s) de jure or de facto, and which:

	a.		Involves violence against one or more persons; or

	b.		Involves damage to property; or

	c.		Endangers life other than that of the person committing the action; or

	d.		Creates a risk to health or safety of the public or a section of the public; or

Notwithstanding the above and subject otherwise to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Contract, in respect only of personal lines this Contract will pay actual loss or damage (but not related cost or expense) caused by any act of terrorism provided such act is not 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 or explosion.

Article VI — Retention and Limit

As respects each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall retain and be liable for the first amount of ultimate net loss, shown as “Company’s Retention” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, arising out of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each excess layer, for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company’s applicable retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer under each excess layer shall not exceed the amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence.

No claim shall be made under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract as respects any one loss occurrence unless at least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss occurrence. For purposes of this Contract, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes one risk.


07\M2U1138 Page 7

Article VII — Reinstatement

In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by loss, the amount so exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences hereon. For each amount so reinstated, the Company agrees to pay additional premium in accordance with the provisions of the Premium Article.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed either of the following:

	1.		The amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Per Occurrence Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss occurrence; or

	2.		The amount, shown as “Reinsurer’s Term Limit” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.

Article VIII — Premium

As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the greater of the following:

	1.		The amount shown as “Minimum Premium” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto; or

	2.		The sum of the Company’s aggregate total insured value and 25.0% of USIC of Florida, Inc.’s aggregate total insured value for policies that include wind coverage in force on September 30, 2007, multiplied by the percentage shown as “Adjustment Rate” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the amount, shown as “Deposit Premium” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as “Quarterly Deposit Premium” for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on June 1, September 1 and December 1 of 2007 and March 1, 2008.

Within 45 days after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.

For each amount of limit reinstated for each excess layer in accordance with the Reinstatement Article, the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product of the following:

The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times


07\M2U1138 Page 8

The final adjusted reinsurance premium, as calculated in accordance with paragraph A above, for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).

Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any loss under any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of reinstatement premium (if any) due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the final adjusted reinsurance premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been determined as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that excess layer shall be based on the annual deposit premium for that excess layer and shall be readjusted when the final adjusted reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the requested loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company’s statement.

In the event a Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation in this Contract is terminated under the provisions of paragraph B of the Commencement and Termination Article, no deposit premium shall be due after the effective date of termination, the minimum premium shall be waived, and the reinsurance premium and reinstatement premium, if applicable, will be calculated in accordance with the following formulas:

	1.		Reinsurance premium shall be the number of days the Subscribing Reinsurer participates on this Contract divided by the number of days of the original term of this Contract and the quotient thereof shall be multiplied by the Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share of the final adjusted premium reported in accordance with paragraph C above.

	2.		Reinstatement premium shall be the product of the percentage determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 1 of paragraph D above and the amount determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 1 of this paragraph F.

	3.		In the event the incurred loss for any excess layer is greater than the sum of the amounts from subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph F that are applicable to the same excess layer, in lieu of the provisions of subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph F, the Subscribing Reinsurer will receive premium equal to the lesser of:

	a.		An amount equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share of the full reinsurance premium calculated in accordance with paragraph A (without regard to the termination of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s share in accordance with the provisions of paragraph B of the Commencement and Termination Article) plus any reinstatement premium calculated in accordance with subparagraph 2 of this paragraph F; or

	b.		The Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share of the incurred loss for the same excess layer.

“Incurred loss” as used herein shall mean the Company’s ceded ultimate net loss plus the Company’s ceded outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including


07\M2U1138 Page 9

incurred but not reported loss reserves for known loss occurrences established by the Company).

Article IX — Definitions

“Ultimate net loss” as used herein is defined as the sum or sums (including loss in excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as hereinafter defined) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company’s ultimate net loss has been ascertained.

“Loss in excess of policy limits” and “extra contractual obligations” as used herein shall be defined as follows:

	1.		“Loss in excess of policy limits” shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy, such loss in excess of the Company’s policy limits having been incurred because of, but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence, 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 an action.

	2.		“Extra contractual obligations” shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence, 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 an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the policy.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the amount included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss occurrence as respects loss in excess of policy limits and extra contractual obligations shall not exceed 25.0% of the Company’s indemnity loss hereunder arising out of that loss occurrence.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.

Savings Clause (Applicable only if the Subscribing Reinsurer is domiciled in the State of New York): In no event shall coverage be provided to the extent that such coverage is not


07\M2U1138 Page 10

permitted under New York law.

“Loss adjustment expense” as used herein shall mean expenses assignable to the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense and/or appeal of specific claims, regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory reporting purposes. Loss adjustment expense shall include, but not be limited to, declaratory judgments, interest on judgments, expenses of outside adjusters, and a pro rata share of the salaries and expenses of the Company’s field employees according to the time occupied adjusting such losses and expenses of the Company’s officials incurred in connection with the losses, but shall not include office expenses or salaries of the Company’s regular employees.

Article X — Loss Occurrence

The term “loss occurrence” shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States and states contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the duration and extent of any one “loss occurrence” shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term “loss occurrence” shall be further defined as follows:

	1.		As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. However, the event need not be limited to one state or states contiguous thereto.

	2.		As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an insured’s premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period.

	3.		As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph A) and fire following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s “loss occurrence.”

	4.		As regards “freeze,” only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included in the Company’s “loss occurrence.”

	5.		As regards firestorms, brush fires, and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 2 and 3 above), which spread through trees, grassland or other vegetation, all individual losses sustained by the Company which occur during any period of 168 consecutive hours within a 100-mile radius of any fixed point selected by the Company may be included in the Company’s “loss


07\M2U1138 Page 11

occurrence.” However, an individual loss subject to this subparagraph cannot be included in more than one “loss occurrence.”

For all those “loss occurrences,” other than those referred to in subparagraph 2 of paragraph A above, the Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that it is not earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss, and provided that only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, except for any “loss occurrence” referred to in subparagraph 1 of paragraph A above where only one such period of 72 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, regardless of the duration of the event.

As respects those “loss occurrences” referred to in subparagraph 2 of paragraph A above, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than 72 consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or more “loss occurrences,” provided no two periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than one such period and provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss.

No individual losses occasioned by an event that would be covered by 72 hours clauses may be included in any “loss occurrence” claimed under the 168 hours provision.

Article XI — Loss Notices and Settlements

Whenever losses sustained by the Company appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.

All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this Contract and the terms of the Company’s policies (except as respects loss in excess of policy limits and extra contractual obligations), shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid (or scheduled to be paid within 14 days) by the Company.

Article XII — Salvage and Subrogation

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage 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. The Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights.

The Company shall provisionally purchase from the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) the following limit and retention:

	1.		As respects Liberty American Insurance Company, 90.0% of $5,521,302 excess of $1,086,017; and

	2.		As respects Liberty American Select Insurance Company, 90.0% of $75,752,188 excess of $14,900,133.

The provisional limits and retentions detailed above may increase or decrease depending on the Company’s actual written premium subject to the FHCF reimbursement coverage during the term of this Contract. The Company and the Reinsurer agree to accept and be bound by the final determination of the FHCF.

Any loss reimbursement paid or payable to the Company under the coverage layers provided by the FHCF as a result of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract shall inure to the benefit of this Contract. Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in accordance with the reimbursement contract between the Company and the State Board of Administration of the State of Florida at the full payout level set forth therein and will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF’s claims paying capacity.

Prior to the determination of the Company’s FHCF retention and payout, if any, under the coverage layer provided by the reimbursement contract between the Company and the State Board of Administration of the State of Florida, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder will be determined provisionally based on the projected payout, determined in accordance with the provisions of the reimbursement contract. Following the FHCF’s final determination of the payout under the coverage layer provided by the reimbursement contract, the ultimate net loss under this Contract will be recalculated. If, as a result of such calculation, the loss to the Reinsurer under any excess layer of this Contract in any one loss occurrence is less than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer, the Company shall promptly remit the difference to the Reinsurer. If the loss to the Reinsurer under any excess layer in any one loss occurrence is greater than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall promptly remit the difference to the Company.

If an FHCF reimbursement amount is based on the Company’s losses in more than one loss occurrence commencing during the term of this Contract, the total such FHCF reimbursement received by the Company shall be allocated to individual loss occurrences in chronological order of the dates such loss occurrences commence, beginning with the first such loss occurrence commencing during the term of this Contract, provided that:

	1.		The portion of the total FHCF reimbursement amount to be allocated by the Company to any individual loss occurrence shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such FHCF reimbursement to which the Company would be entitled for that loss occurrence alone, or (b) the remaining such FHCF reimbursement which has not been allocated by the Company to prior loss occurrences; and

	2.		The total amount allocated by the Company to all such loss occurrences shall be equal to the total FHCF reimbursement received by the Company for such loss occurrences.

Article XIV — Late Payments

The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.

In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (BRMA 23A) (hereinafter referred to as the “Intermediary”) by the payment due date, the party to which payment is due, may, by notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month as follows:

	1.		The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly calculation, whichever the lesser; times

	2.		1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times

	3.		The amount past due, including accrued interest.

It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus interest penalties have been received by the Intermediary.

The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as follows:

	1.		As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment.

	2.		Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 business days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

	3.		As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 business days following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the Intermediary.


07\M2U1138 Page 14

Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest penalties due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that are $100 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more items over the course of any 12-month period.

Article XV — Offset (BRMA 36D)

The Company and the Reinsurer, each at its option, may offset any balance or balances, whether on account of premiums, claims and losses, loss expenses or salvages due from one party to the other under this Contract; provided, however, that in the event of the insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.

Article XVI — Access to Records (BRMA 1D)

The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance.

Article XVII — Liability of the Reinsurer

The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications of the Company’s policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.

Article XVIII — Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32B)

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


07\M2U1138 Page 15

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 reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

Article XIX — Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract 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 error or omission is rectified as soon as possible after discovery.

Article XX — Currency (BRMA 12A)

Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars and all transactions under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars.

Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date such transaction is entered on the books of the Company.

Article XXI — Taxes (BRMA 50B)

In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of Columbia.

Article XXII — Federal Excise Tax

The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the 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 XXIII — Funding Requirements

The Reinsurer agrees to fund, within 30 days of the Company’s request, subject to receipt of satisfactory information from the Company, its share of the unearned portion of any deposit premium (determined as of the date that this paragraph A first applies to the


07\M2U1138 Page 16

Reinsurer according to the provisions of subparagraph (a) and/or (b) below) and the Company’s ceded outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves for known loss occurrences established by the Company) 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 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 the Reinsurer:

	a.		Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement, including but not limited to quarterly filings, it is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved; or

	b.		Has an A.M. Best’s rating below A- (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings) and/or a Standard & Poor’s rating below BBB+. However, this funding requirement will not apply to authorized reinsurers who at inception are rated A or higher by A.M. Best and have a policyholders’ surplus of $2,000,000,000 or more.

The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method of funding is acceptable to the Company and to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

For the purpose of this Contract, the Lloyd’s U.S. Credit for Reinsurance Trust Fund shall be considered an acceptable funding instrument.

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 60 days prior to said expiration date or longer where required by insurance regulatory authorities. 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 loss adjustment expense 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;


07\M2U1138 Page 17

	3.		To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s portion of the unearned deposit premium and/or the Reinsurer’s share of ceded outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves for known loss occurrences established by the Company) 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 portion of the unearned deposit premium and/or the Reinsurer’s share of the Company’s ceded outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (including incurred but not reported loss reserves for known loss occurrences established by the Company), if so requested by the Reinsurer; and

	5.		To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer’s portion of the unearned deposit premium paid to 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.

Article XXIV — Insolvency

In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured companies, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor 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, subject to the approval of the Court, against the company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata 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 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 understood and agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured companies, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the company or to its liquidator, receiver 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


07\M2U1138 Page 18

or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the company to such payees.

Article XXV — Arbitration

As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute or difference between the Company and any Reinsurer relating to the interpretation or performance of this Contract, including its formation or validity, or any transaction under this Contract, whether arising before or after termination, shall be submitted to arbitration.

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 Article provided that communication shall be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting the one party, and 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 Reinsurer under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

Upon written request of any party, each party shall choose an arbitrator and the two chosen shall select a third arbitrator. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within 30 days after receipt of the written request for arbitration, the requesting party may appoint a second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the selection of a third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the Company shall petition the American Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator. If the American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days after it has been requested to do so, either party may request a justice of a court of general jurisdiction of the state in which the arbitration is to be held to appoint the third arbitrator. All arbitrators shall be active or retired officers of insurance or reinsurance companies, or Lloyd’s London Underwriters, and disinterested in the outcome of the arbitration. Each party shall submit its case to the arbitrators within 30 days of the appointment of the third arbitrator.

The parties hereby waive all objections to the method of selection of the arbitrators, it being the intention of both sides that all the arbitrators be chosen from those submitted by the parties.

The arbitrators shall have the power to determine all procedural rules for the holding of the arbitration including but not limited to inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and any other matter relating to the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall interpret this Contract as an honorable engagement and not as merely a legal obligation; they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The arbitrators may award interest and costs. Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall share equally with the other party the expenses of the third arbitrator and of the arbitration.

The decision in writing of the majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment may be entered upon the final decision of the arbitrators in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Pinellas Park, Florida, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the Reinsurer.

This Article shall remain in full force and effect in the event any other provision of this Contract shall be found invalid or non-binding.


07\M2U1138 Page 19

All time limitations stated in this Article may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, and will be amended automatically to the extent made necessary by any circumstances beyond the control of the parties.

Article XXVI — Service of Suit

(Applicable if the 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 parties obligations to arbitrate their disputes in accordance with the Arbitration Article.)

It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, will 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 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.

Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, 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 proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract.

Article XXVII — Agency Agreement

If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of remitting or receiving any monies due any party.

Article XXVIII — Governing Law

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of Florida exclusive of the 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 the states shall apply.

Article XXIX — Confidentiality

The Reinsurer, except with the express prior written consent of the Company, shall not directly or indirectly communicate, disclose or divulge to any unaffiliated 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


07\M2U1138 Page 20

to communication or disclosures that the Reinsurer is required to make to its statutory auditors, 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 XXX — Severability

If any provision of this Contract 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 Contract.

Article XXXI — Intermediary (BRMA 23A)

Benfield Inc. is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premium, return premium, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss settlements) relating thereto shall be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer through Benfield Inc. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the Company.

In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representative has executed this Contract as of the date undermentioned at:

Pinellas Park, Florida, this 16th day of July in the year 2007.
