This right of examination and audit will survive the termination of this Agreement and will remain in effect for as long as either the Exchange or AIF has any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or the period required by applicable law, whichever is longer.

8.    Term and Termination.    This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until terminated as provided in this Section 8.

(a)    Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written mutual agreement of AIF and the Exchange, acting through the SAC.

(b)    Termination for Cause. The Exchange, acting through the SAC, may terminate this Agreement at any time if (i) its Texas certificate of authority has been revoked by the Texas Department of Insurance (the “Department”) and not reinstated after a period of ninety (90) days following such revocation, (ii) there has been a continued and material failure by AIF to perform or cause to be performed services in accordance with the Subscriber’s Agreement and this Agreement, and such failure remains uncured for a period of ninety (90) days following determination that such failure has occurred by a final order of the Department or court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the Exchange has been adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or applied for or consented to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, liquidator or similar officer for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, or such receiver, trustee, liquidator or similar officer has been appointed without the application or consent of the Exchange or AIF and such appointment shall continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days.

(a)    As a condition precedent to any right of action arising under or out of this Agreement, the Parties agree that any and all disputes or differences, including disputes concerning the formation and/or validity of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be an active or retired disinterested officer of a property and casualty insurance company. One arbitrator shall be chosen by the Exchange, and one arbitrator shall be chosen by AIF. The third arbitrator will be chosen by the other two arbitrators. In the event any Party does not appoint an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after the other Party requests it to do so, or if the two arbitrators selected by the Exchange and AIF fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator to be appointed, the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, will, upon the application of any Party, be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, and the arbitrators will proceed. The decision of the majority of the arbitrators will be final and binding on all Parties. Each Party will bear the expense of its own arbitrator and one-half of the expenses of the third arbitrator and of the arbitration. Arbitration taking place under this section will take place in Dallas County, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The arbitrators shall make a decision and award with regard to the terms of this Agreement and the original intentions of the Parties to the extent reasonably ascertainable. The arbitrators’ decision and award shall be in writing and shall state the factual and legal basis for the decision and award. The arbitrators may award interest calculated at a reasonable rate from the date they determine that any amounts due to the prevailing Party should have been paid to the prevailing Party.

(b)    Either Party may apply to any court having jurisdiction for an order compelling arbitration or confirming any decision and the award; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered on any decision or award. If such an order is issued, the attorneys’ fees of the Party so applying and court costs will be paid by the Party against whom confirmation is sought.

(c)    Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any Party from applying to any court having jurisdiction to issue a restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the arbitrators or to prevent any Party from incurring irreparable harm or damage at any time prior to the decision and award of the Board. The arbitrators shall also have the authority to issue interim decisions or awards.

(d)    Notwithstanding any dispute or difference of opinion arising under this Agreement, the Exchange and AIF must fulfill all obligations under the reciprocal insurance contracts exchanged by the Subscribers.

(e)    For purposes of this Section 9, the Exchange shall act by and through the

SAC.

(a)    The Exchange will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIF and each member, officer, director, employee and agent thereof (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses including, without limitation, settlement costs and any reasonable legal fees and expenses or other expenses for investigating and defending any actions or threatened actions incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Exchange, relating to or arising out of the services provided by AIF hereunder, except to the extent the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to be the direct result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.

(b)    The Exchange will pay expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10 as they are incurred in such action or proceeding, provided the Exchange receives an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Exchange.

(c)    As soon as practicable after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding specified in Section 10(a) above (“Action”), such person shall, if a claim may be made against the Exchange under this Section 10, notify the Exchange, by notification in writing to the SAC, of the Action; however, the omission to notify the Exchange will not relieve the Exchange of any liability under this Section 10 unless the Exchange is prejudiced thereby. With respect to any such Action as to which such person notifies the Exchange, the Exchange may participate in the

Action at its own expense. The Exchange may, independently or jointly with any other indemnifying party assume the defense of the Action, with counsel selected by the Exchange. Counsel selected by the Exchange shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Exchange of its election to assume the defense, the Exchange will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Action. The Indemnified Party will have the right to hire his or her own counsel in such action, but the fees of such counsel incurred after notice from the Exchange of its assumption of the defense of the Action will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party shall have been authorized by the Exchange, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Exchange and such person in the conduct of the defense of such proceeding, or (iii) the Exchange did not employ counsel to assume the defense of the Action and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest if indemnification under this Section 10 is not paid or made by the Exchange, or on its behalf, within ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Exchange. The Indemnified Party may, at any time thereafter, bring suit against the Exchange to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.

(d)    The right to indemnification and the right to advancement of expenses provided in this Section 10 shall be enforceable by such person in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Exchange. Expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with successfully establishing the right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, shall be indemnified by the Exchange. For purposes of this Section 10, the Exchange shall act by and through the SAC.

11.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications between the Parties concerning the content and purpose of this Agreement shall be sent in writing by personal delivery, fax or by mail, registered or certified, postage pre-paid. Notices shall be addressed to the Parties as follows or to such other addresses as may be specified by a Party from time to time by like written notice to the other Party:

(b)    AIF is authorized to contract with others, including affiliates of the AIF, for the performance of the management services it has agreed to provide to the Exchange under this Agreement, provided, however, that AIF will remain responsible to the Exchange for the proper and timely performance of all management services set forth in this Agreement and, provided further, the charges and fees under such contracts shall be borne by the AIF or the Exchange, respectively, in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

(c)    No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

(d)    This Agreement may be amended at any time by an instrument in writing executed by the Parties, subject to any required notice to or approval by any regulatory authority. This Agreement may not be terminated except as provided in Section 8.

(e)    This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, except upon the prior written agreement of the Parties, and subject to any required notice to or approval by any regulatory authority.

(f)    This Agreement, together with the Declaration of Subscribers, Subscriber’s Agreement and Power of Attorney and Bylaws, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(g)    This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.
