1. To pay the Reinsurer’s share or to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of any Obligations, as stipulated in the statement submitted by the Company to the Reinsurer, which is due to the Company and not otherwise paid by the Reinsurer.

2.

The Company shall provide to the Reinsurer payment of any interest thereon accruing from such account.

3. To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required for Sections 1 and 2 of this paragraph.

E. At annual intervals or more frequently as determined by the Company, but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, or adjusting the balance of the trust account, as applicable, of the Reinsurer’s share of any obligations. If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s share of obligations exceeds 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 of the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit or adjust the trust account balance, as applicable, by the amount of such difference. If the statement shows, however, that the Reinsurer’s share of obligations is less than the balance of the Letter of Credit or the trust account 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 release funds from the trust to the Reinsurer or secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.

F. The 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whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to assure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company. The Company shall incur no obligation to the bank in acting upon the credit, other than as appears in the express terms thereof.

A. In the event any Reinsurer hereon fails to pay any amount claimed due hereunder, such Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States and shall comply with all requirements necessary to give that court jurisdiction. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer's right 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. Service of process in such suit may be made upon Mendes and Mount, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto.

ARTICLE 21

ARBITRATION (BRMA 6J)

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 Contract, 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 (2) 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 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 (2) Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two (2) Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within thirty (30) days following their appointment, each Arbiter shall

nominate three (3) candidates within ten (10) days thereafter, two (2) 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 Contract 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. 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 and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein 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 participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

D. 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 (2) 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 (2) parties.

E. Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state of Pennsylvania.

ARTICLE 22

INSOLVENCY

A. In the event of insolvency and the appointment of a conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company, the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer shall be payable to the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor on the basis of claims allowed against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor of the Company having authority to allow such claims, without diminution because of that insolvency, or because the conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.

B. Payments by the Reinsurer as above set forth shall be made directly to the Company or to its conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor, except where the contract of insurance or reinsurance specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance or except as provided by applicable law and regulation (such as subsection (a) of section 4118 of the New York Insurance Laws) in the event of the insolvency of the Company.

C. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, 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 insolvent Company on the Policy or Policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and during the pendency of such claim any 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 which 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 court approval against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of 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.

D. Where two (2) 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.

E. The original insured or policyholder shall not have any rights against the Reinsurer which are not specifically set forth in this Contract, or in a specific agreement between the Reinsurer and the original insured or policyholder.

ARTICLE 23

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

There are no understandings between the parties other than as expressed in this Contract.

Nothing in this Article shall act to preclude the introduction of submission-related documents in any dispute between the parties.

ARTICLE 24

OFFSET

The Company and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise. In the event of the insolvency of any party, offset shall be as permitted by applicable insolvency or liquidation law.

ARTICLE 25

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS (BRMA 52A)

This Contract 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 Contract unless expressly mentioned elsewhere in this Contract or any attachment hereto.

ARTICLE 26

MODE OF EXECUTION

A. This Contract may be executed by:

1. an original written ink signature of paper documents;

2. an exchange of facsimile copies showing the original written ink signature of paper documents; or

3. electronic signature technology employing computer software and a digital signature or digitizer pen pad to capture a person’s handwritten signature in such a manner that the signature is unique to the person signing, is under the sole control of the person signing, is capable of verification to authenticate the signature and is linked to the document signed in such a manner that if the data is changed, such signature is invalidated.

B. The use of any one or a combination of these methods of execution shall constitute a legally binding and valid signing of this Contract. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly executed, shall be deemed an original.

ARTICLE 27

FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (“FATCA”)

A. Each Reinsurer hereby acknowledges the requirements of Sections 1471-1474 US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued from time to time thereunder (“FATCA”) and the obligation of each of them to provide to the Intermediary a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form X0-XXX-X, X-0 or other documentation meeting the requirements of the FATCA regulations to establish they are not subject to any withholding requirement pursuant to FATCA (the “Required Documentation”).

B. Furthermore:

1. If a Reinsurer becomes non-compliant with FATCA during the Contract period or has not provided the Intermediary with the Required Documentation fourteen (14) days prior to any reinsurance premium due date, the Withholding Agent (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-1(b)(147)) shall withhold thirty percent (30%) of the reinsurance premium (to the extent all or a portion of that reinsurance premium is subject to withholding pursuant to FATCA) due to that Reinsurer under this Contract on that reinsurance premium due date and shall promptly notify that Reinsurer via the Intermediary.

2. The withholding of reinsurance premium by virtue of 1. above shall not be, and shall not be treated by the Reinsurer as a breach of any reinsurance premium payment condition, warranty or other clause whether or not entitling the Reinsurer to cancel, terminate or restrict this Contract, refuse, restrict or delay payment of any claim or invoke any interest, penalty or other late payment provision. The Reinsurer shall be liable under this Contract as if no such withholding had been made.

3. The Reinsurer shall not recoup sums withheld under 1. above by deducting equivalent sums from any payments due to the Company or by set off against any other sums owed by the Reinsurer and any general or contractual right of set-off enjoyed by the Reinsurer is hereby varied and qualified to that extent.

4. Where reinsurance premium is withheld in error, has not yet been paid to the IRS and the underwriter has been paid only the net reinsurance premium following such withholding, the Intermediary will cooperate with the Reinsurer to process the requisite refund.

ARTICLE 28

ASSIGNMENT

This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Reinsurer and their respective successors and assigns provided, however, that this Contract may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other which consent may be withheld by either party in its sole unfettered discretion. This provision shall not be construed to preclude the assignment by the Company of reinsurance recoverables to another party for collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior written consent shall be required in the event of any conversion by the Company from a reciprocal insurance exchange to a stock company during the term of this Contract, nor shall such a conversion affect the terms and conditions of this Contract.

ARTICLE 29

ALTERNATE PAYEE

A. If the Company becomes insolvent, specific insureds (which shall be explicitly named in an amendment to the Contract) shall be permitted to make direct claim to the Reinsurer subject to all terms and conditions, including but not limited to all retentions and limits, of the Policy and the Contract. The Reinsurer shall have no duty to defend any actions against the named insureds and shall have no liability for amounts due from other Subscribing Reinsurers. In no event shall the provisions of this Article subject the Reinsurer to any additional liability to or on behalf of the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The Reinsurer reserves the right to set off any outstanding premium against payment in accordance with this Article, before such payment is made.

B. The Company has the option to allow insured, in addition to those specifically listed in an amendment to this Contract, to make direct claim to the Reinsurer in the manner set forth in that paragraph, and the Reinsurer agrees to provide to any such insureds the coverage described in that paragraph, subject to all the conditions set forth in that paragraph.
