The Company shall have the right but not the obligation, with effective from July 1, 2007, to reduce the Reinsurer’s share of the contract, with regard to business not yet ceded. Notwithstanding the above the Reinsurer’s share shall not be reduced to less that 50%. |
The election to reduce the Reinsurers share must be made before July 1, 2007.
| B. | As respects losses arising out of any one Loss Occurrence (as defined in Article 7 – Loss Occurrence), the liability of the Reinsurer for loss (exclusive of loss in excess of Policy limits and extra contractual obligations) hereunder shall not exceed the Reinsurer’s share of $2,000,000 ($1,600,000 at 80% Reinsurer’s share).

| defined in paragraph E below) and less than an [*]% Loss Ratio for the agreement year and shall hereinafter be referred to as the “loss retention corridor.” | |

| E. | The Reinsurer’s liability for losses (inclusive of loss, extra contractual obligations, loss in excess of Policy limits and any assessments covered by this Agreement) during any one agreement year, net of inuring reinsurance (whether collected or not), shall not exceed a Loss Ratio of [*]% for that agreement year.

| F. | For purposes of calculating the loss retention corridor and limit of liability for an agreement year, “Loss Ratio” is defined as 118% of the quantity (the Company’s net losses for such period excluding all loss adjustment expenses) divided by the quantity (“Net Ceded Earned Premium” (as defined in Article 13 – Commission) for such period). |

| B. | In no event shall the Reinsurer’s liability for losses (inclusive of loss in excess of Policy limits and extra contractual obligations) exceed the maximum limit described in Article 5 – Retention and Limit. |

| A. | As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Agreement, it is hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be chosen by the two Arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be active or retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Lloyd’s |
Page 13 of 17
GREENLIGHT REINSURANCE, LTD.
| London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within thirty (30) days following a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within thirty (30) days following their appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three candidates within ten (10) days thereafter, two of whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. | |
| B. | Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within thirty (30) days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this Agreement as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the Arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the Umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. |
| C. | Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two Arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties. |
| D. | Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state of New York. |
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
ARTICLE 23 – FEDERAL EXCISE TAX
Payment of any Federal Excise Tax applicable to this Agreement shall be made by the Company to the taxing authorities and in no event shall there be any reduction in Reinsurance Premium on account of Federal Excise Tax that exceeds 1% of Net Ceded Written Premium.
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 any 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 for receipt of notice on behalf of the Reinsurer, or if no party is named therein, then the firm of Kerns, Pitrof, Frost & Xxxxxxxx, LLC, 00 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or if notice to it is undeliverable then 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 Agreement.
As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Agreement, 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 and any other amounts covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set up, it will forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees to fund such reserves in respect of unearned premium and losses and any other amounts covered hereunder that have been reported to the Reinsurer relating thereto as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurer’s Obligations”) by Letter of Credit.
The 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 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 thirty (30) days (sixty (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 Reinsurer and Company agree that the Letter of Credit provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, 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:
| (a) | to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Agreement and which has not been otherwise paid; |
| (b) | to make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Agreement; |
Page 15 of 17
| GREENLIGHT REINSURANCE, LTD. | |
| (c) | to fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer; |
| (d) | to pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Agreement. |
In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any Letter of Credit is in excess of the actual amount required for (a) or (c), or in the case of (d), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the Reinsurer.
The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.
At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, in the following manner:
| (a) | If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference. |
| (b) | If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from the 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. |
The Company is solely liable for the costs of the Letter of Credit. Such costs shall be paid to the Reinsurer by the Company promptly upon request and there shall be no reduction in Reinsurance Premium on account of such Letter of Credit costs.
ARTICLE 26 – NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any insured, claimant or other third party have any rights under this Agreement.
All terms, conditions and exclusions under this Agreement are to be construed in an evenhanded fashion as between the Company and Reinsurer without regard to authorship of the language.
