POR1179477

The Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company on an excess of loss basis in respect of the Company's Ultimate Net Loss paid by the Company as a result of losses occurring during the term of this Agreement, for Policies in force as of January 1, 2015, and new and renewal Policies becoming effective on or after said date, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any obligations or establish any rights against the Reinsurer in favor of any person or entity not a party hereto.

The performance of obligations by both parties under this Agreement shall be in accordance with a fiduciary standard of good faith and fair dealing.

Under this Agreement, the indemnity for reinsured loss applies to those Policies issued by the Company with respect to the following Lines of Business as classified in the Company's Annual Statement, subject to the exclusions set forth in Article VII- Exclusions.

This Agreement shall apply to losses occurring within the period commencing 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, January 1, 2015, and ending 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, January 1, 2016.

Upon termination of this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall be liable for losses occurring prior to the date of termination; however, the Reinsurer shall have no liability for losses occurring on or after the termination date of this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall terminate while a Loss Occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, it is agreed that, subject to the other conditions of this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company as if the entire Loss Occurrence had occurred during the time this Agreement is in force provided such Loss Occurrence covered hereunder started before the date of termination.

The limits and retentions provided under this Agreement are as follows:

It is understood that Commercial business covered hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000 any one risk, or so deemed.

It is warranted by the Company that the reinsurance provided under this Agreement shall attach only when two or more Risks are involved in the same Loss Occurrence.

Each claim hereunder reduces the amount of indemnity from the time of occurrence of the loss by the sum paid, but any amount so exhausted is hereby reinstated from the time the Loss Occurrence commences hereon.

For each amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay an additional premium calculated at pro rata of the annual premium hereon, being pro rata only as to the fraction of the limit of liability of this Agreement (i.e., the fraction of $22,000,000) so reinstated and 100% as to the term.

Nevertheless, the Reinsurer's liability hereunder shall never exceed $22,000,000 in respect of any one Loss Occurrence and shall be further limited in all during the term of this Agreement to $44,000,000.

DECLARATORY JUDGMENT EXPENSES

EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

EXTRACONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS are defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Agreement and which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the following: failure by the Company to settle within the Policy limit, or by reason of 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 in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

The date on which an Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original accident, casualty, disaster or loss occurrence.

However, coverage hereunder as respects Extra Contractual Obligations shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to the fraud of 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.

Recoveries, collectibles or retention from any other form of insurance or reinsurance, including deductibles or self-insured retention which protect the Company against Extra Contractual Obligations, shall inure to the benefit of the Reinsurer and shall be deducted from the total amount of Extra Contractual Obligations, to the extent they are collected by the Company, for purposes of determining the loss hereunder.

If any provision of this paragraph B. shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be considered void in such jurisdiction, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this paragraph or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS

"Loss in Excess of Policy Limits" is defined as loss in excess of the limit of the original Policy, such loss in excess of the limit having been incurred because of failure by the Company to settle within the Policy limit or by reason of 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 in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

However, this paragraph D. 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.

For the purposes of this paragraph D., the word "loss" shall mean any amounts which the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy.

With respect to coverage provided under this paragraph D., recoveries from any insurance or reinsurance other than this Agreement, shall be deducted to arrive at the amount of the Company's Ultimate Net Loss.

Although such claim on the part of either party against the other may be unliquidated or undetermined in amount on the date of the entry of the receivership or liquidation order, such claim will be regarded as being in existence as of such date and any claims then in existence and held by the other party may be offset against it.
